Trick Tip: Late Front Bigspin
1. Start out wide away from the wake with enough speed to get you wake to wake.
2. Come in with a progressive edge. Start out easy and gradually get harder and harder until you reach the hardest edge at the wake.
3. Make sure that when you are edging in, you keep equal weight on both feet and hold it until you take off. Sometimes it is hard to tell when you are doing the riding. Have somebody in the boat watch your knees, if both if your knees are bent the same as each other then you are money.
4. When you take off, make sure and wait until the top off the wake and keep the handle in close.
5. Keep your knees bent right up to your chest(more than you would think). The more they are bent, the more control you will have.
6. After you finish the first 180, throw the shuv out in front of you(more out in front than in the flats). Try and get it to where you are throwing the shuv at the peak of your jump.
7. Keep your knees bent and wait for the board to come around. If you are throwing the board correctly then you shouldn't have to straighten your legs all the way to catch it.
8. Catch the board with your feet wide(bolts), bend your knees and keep your chest over your toes when you land.
9. Ride away clean…as if there were a better option….

One Direction Fans Upset After Zayn Malik Becomes Target of Racial Slur [NSFW]
Directioners waited for hours at LAX airport in Los Angeles for the boys to arrive on Nov. 6 and witnessed their bodyguards clash with local paparazzi, resulting in One Direction member Zayn Malik being subjected to a racial slur! Gasp!
Paul Higgins, who serves as the boys' bodyguard, got into a bit of a fracas with a snapper. It got so heated that he had to be held back. A fan captured video, which appears to feature one of the paps shouting not-so-nice stuff at 1D, even calling Malik a "pikey," which is considered a slur. The shutterbug also referred to him as a "mother f---er."
Yikes. So much drama surrounded 1D as they arrived on the West Coast and we aren't even talking about the hordes of screaming girls that follow them. They can't even get situated on U.S. soul before they are forced to deal with the trappings of fame.
According to Entertainment Wise, the loyal legion of Directioners took to Twitter to come to Malik's defense, appalled that he would have been insulted in such fashion.
Zayn, PopCrush wants you to know that we don't approve of such comments and we, along with the rest of America, LOVE you and 1D!
The lads are in town for their performance on the U.S. version of 'X Factor' tomorrow night (Nov. 8.)

Asian Pacific Caucus plans meeting with Obama
WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus are planning to raise the issues of immigration and appointments in a meeting with President Barack Obama.
California Democrat Mike Honda's spokesman, Anthony Kusich, says the meeting is on schedule for next week but did not specify a day. The White House declined Tuesday to confirm the meeting.
The caucus, led by California Democrat Judy Chu, has been concerned about the lack of Asians and Pacific Islander candidates for Cabinet positions in Obama's second term. The number of Asians moving to the U.S. is one of the nation's fastest growing immigrant groups A caucus priority is keeping intact immigration policies allowing relatives to join family members in the U.S.

Sea Education Association (SEA)
Founded in 1971, and located in Woods Hole since 1975, the Sea Education Association (SEA) has been a leader in marine education, developing an understanding of the importance of the ocean and of its powerful role in seemingly every aspect of our lives—whether we live on, near, or at great distances from the shore. The idea is to give students the opportunity to study the ocean from a multitude of academic perspectives and to do it from the platform of a traditional sailing vessel, therefore combining a rare blend of theoretical learning and the application of such knowledge. Coursework for students from any academic discipline involves the studying of maritime policy, history, and literature in addition to ship navigation and oceanography. They learn about the ocean's power and mystery, use scientific technology to study it, and design research projects that will be the focus of their work at sea.
Since its founding, SEA has equipped students with the tools to become environmentally literate leaders prepared to address the defining issue of the twenty-first century: the human impact on the environment. Their fully accredited study abroad program, SEA Semester®, is the leading off-campus Environmental Studies program focused on the ocean. SEA Semester was developed in direct collaboration and affiliation with Boston University. Over time, SEA has sailed with nearly 8,000 students studying abroad for a summer or semester from more than 300 colleges, and is formally affiliated with more than 40 colleges/universities nationwide. SEA also offers programs for high school students and teachers, and for students in the MIT/WHOI graduate program.
The SEA sailing vessels—134-foot brigantines—operate year-round. The SSV Corwith Cramer sails the waters of the North Atlantic, Mediterranean, and the Caribbean Sea, while the SSV Robert C. Seamans sails the waters of the Northern and Southern Pacific.

Burgess Scholarship Benefits Teacher Education
by Jim Amidon
January 21, 2011
Dudley Burgess '64 and his wife, Judy, grew up in Crawfordsville and saw first hand the impact Wabash College has on its students and on the greater community.
Today, President Pat White announced that the Burgess family has made a generous gift to the Challenge of Excellence that will establish the Burgess Family Scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded to teacher education students in their junior and senior years.
Dudley attended Wabash, majored in English, and was an active member of Beta Theta Pi. He went on to a successful career in executive leadership with AT&T, retiring in 1991 as Vice President of Government Affairs.
"Through their leadership and generosity over many years, Dudley and Judy Burgess have supported Wabash students and their high ambitions for service," said President White. "Through this scholarship, Dudley and Judy and their family will help Wabash men in the teacher education program spread the influence of the Wabash mission to think critically, act responsibly, lead effectively, and live humanely to their students for years to come. We are very grateful for this generous gift to support Wabash students and enhance the impact of the College on the world."
Burgess said that his family chose to endow scholarships for teacher education students because of the great good that they do in our society.
"We've all been so close to the College and it means so much to us, that we were trying to find a way to be very specific in our intent," Burgess said from his home in St. Charles, Illinois. "We all believe firmly in educating others, so we said, 'let's focus on the teacher education program, which is often neglected.'"
"The Teacher Education Program is sincerely grateful for the Burgess Family Scholarship because it allows us to help Wabash students fulfill their dreams of becoming teachers," said department chair Dr. Michele Pittard. "I am always impressed with students in our program who choose to become middle or high school teachers when they literally could choose to do anything with their Wabash degrees. This scholarship sends a message that the work our students have chosen to do is important."
Two of Dudley and Judy's sons attended Wabash, Andy in the Class of 1990 and Matt in the Class of 1992, as did their nephew, Chris '85. The Burgesses were involved in varsity and intramural athletics, Student Senate, the Inter-Fraternity Council, Sphinx Club, and Beta Theta Pi.
"One of the greatest things in my life is the attachment the boys have to Wabash," Dudley said. "Even my son [Mark] who didn't attend Wabash loves the place and follows what's going on at the College."
While Dudley grew up in Crawfordsville knowing a great number of Wabash professors and deans, he was the first member of his family to attend college. However, his boys didn't grow up in the shadow of the Pioneer Chapel.
"I was pleased the boys followed in my footsteps, but I did nothing to twist their arms," Burgess remembers. "We were living in New Jersey at the time and the boys toured the Ivy League colleges, but because of my involvement with Wabash, they had been exposed to Wabash. When it came time to decide, there was no doubt about where they were going to go."
Dudley served Wabash as past-president of the National Association of Wabash Men and served two terms as an active member of the Board of Trustees. He was also a leader in the Wabash Club of Chicago. And while he has been close to the College for more than 50 years, he still remembers the most profound moment of his Wabash life.
"Walt Fertig was my advisor," Burgess recalls. "He scared me to death when he hit us with a quiz on the first day of English class. I don't think I did very well, so I went in to see him and he said, 'I'm here for you all the way through.' He became a good friend of mine, and his helpful attitude really left an impression on me."
The Burgess Family Scholarship for teacher education students will be awarded beginning in the 2013-14 academic year. Any alumnus of friend of Wabash may contribute to the scholarship.
The Challenge of Excellence is a $60 million campaign that will provide financial aid and scholarships for students; support for faculty excellence; resources for global educational opportunities; and enhanced business education and career development.

Midtown Medical Center
I am the Medical Director of a Medical Center in Uptown, Chicago, IL. Uptown is a diverse area. My goal is to make a change. The best way I can describe our location and the environment that we are surrounded by is through a personal story that occurs frequently.
A person walks into the clinic for the first time in many years and walks out learning that he/she is in the later stages of a terminal illness or cancer. These people either do not have time to schedule an appointment because of working 2-3 jobs to pay rent and put food on the table, or underinsured, or have no insurance.
We are looking for a logo that illustrates a fresh start, experience/trust, helping hand vibe from the logo.
Our primary audience (and specialization) are the elderly, senior citizens. There are many in our community. We also provide service to families and children.
We are looking for a logo represent the Medical Center. .
Here ar some of the guidelines:
1. No Cartoons - we want it to be inviting but not cheap or childlike
2. Nothing too elegant - we do not want to come across as being fancy. We want the locals to feel like they can afford medical treatment a couple times a week.
3. The typeface should be clear, simple and bold. We want something that stands out. Again being careful not to be too fancy.
Here is an example of a logo that we like:
http://minuteclinic.com/en/USA/ - Minute Clinic
Also attached are some files. I hope it helps.
We want to avoid the traditional medical symbols, however a socially relevant or a modern approach to the traditional medical symbols is fine.
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
We would also like a vector file also.
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

James Cameron Selects Robert Rodriguez To Helm BATTLE ANGEL!
I'm actually happy about this move. Don't get me wrong, there is no one I'd rather see direct BATTLE ANGEL than Cameron, but the Rodriguez choice is a little out of left field and edgy. I LIKE IT. Rodriguez has proven he can work with cutting edge tech and 3D (SIN CITY) and besides that, I just really like his approach to filmmaking. EL MARIACHI and DESPERADO were inspired works of art to me.
Rodriguez will have significant help though without a doubt through Cameron and Jon Landau who will both produce. BATTLE ANGEL is a Lightstorm Entertainment property and Laeta Kalogridis contributed to it's adaptation from the manga graphic novels.
I remember one of the discussions I had with Cameron on BATTLE ANGEL right here. He wasn't sure back in 2009 that he'd do it either.
Today's quotes though finally put an end to the long road for the production:
Says Cameron: "Robert and I have been looking for a film to do together for years, so I was pumped when he said he wanted to do Battle Angel. He's very collaborative and we're already like two kids building a go-kart, just having fun riffing creatively and technically. This project is near and dear to me, and there's nobody I trust more than Robert, with his technical virtuosity and rebel style, to take over the directing reins. We're looking forward to learning a lot from each other while we make a kick-ass epic."
Rodriguez follows: "Battle Angel is an incredibly rich and vibrant epic in the tradition of Jim Cameron's spectacular, character-driven films. Getting to work from Jim's terrific and visionary script while learning the cutting edge techniques he's pioneered is a master class in filmmaking. It's an honor to explore the world of Alita along with Jim and Jon, whose films have impacted me for decades."
I can't imagine this project being shot in any other way than native and digital 3D, so I'm am doubly thrilled to finally see some action take place here. As you may know we've been following BATTLE ANGEL developments for years. Looking forward to more news from the Lightstorm camp on this!

Mr. Speaker, the people of my region are known for their eagerness to take up a challenge. Last month, a resident of Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean proved it in spades.
Today, I am proud to congratulate Sébastien Audy, the first person from the Saguenay to make it to the roof of the world. Together with François-Guy Thivierge and two sherpas, he reached the summit at 5:55 a.m. on May 22, 2008, a feat that so many people around the world want to accomplish. Support from our community, Deloitte, the Chicoutimi CEGEP, and Promotion Saguenay helped make his adventure possible.
I congratulate Sébastien on rising to this physical and mental challenge. At 29, he is the pride not only of his parents, Denis Audy and Réjane Roy, but of everyone in the riding of Chicoutimi—Le Fjord and the entire Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean region.
Bravo, Sébastien.

Wrapping-up after a sensational week in Mongolia. Here to film a short-film for our recently-launched health advocacy initiative, we have spent the days profiling a young, inspiring, local, health change-maker – Byambaa.
NCDFREE is a global social movement against the world's leading cause of death: NCDs (or Non-Communicable Diseases). Founded earlier this year, NCDFREE sets out to change the way societies world-wide think about diabetes, heart disease, cancers, lung diseases and mental health (NCDs).
But also the way we communicate them.
As an academic, I traditionally communicate through scientific journals. As a branding and design expert, co-founder Giuseppe uses very different tools to connect with society. Our idea is to use the latter, to "rebrand" this global health challenge and paint an accurate face of the global epidemic.
You see, when people think of these diseases, they think of old, fat people in rich countries. Actually, 80% of disease occurs in the world's poorest nations, where the burden is rapidly rising.
The true face of the global epidemic is in fact, likely to be Asian, below 70, female and impoverished.
The film follows a young female cardiology-trainee, who has seen the transition from communism to democracy in her lifetime. She has seen a city double in size and a GDP more than quadruple. But with this, she has also seen a change in the nation's diet – in fact just this month the first KFC store opened in UB – and a change in the lifestyles of the populations as they replace the horse for an SUV. Transition from a ger to an apartment, and from the steppes to a dense, urban centre.
30% of the population may still live in poverty, but this is a 25% drop from 1 year earlier.
Rapid change is occuring.
"And although this all represents important and needed progress for Mongolia" describes Byambaa, "it has also brought major changes in the health of the population". As infectious diseases and childhood illnesses dive – obesity, hypertension and NCDs have skyrocketed.
Through the story of this young community advocate and doctor from Ulaanbaatar, NCDFREE plans to change the way people think about these diseases. Connecting NCDs with the reality of poor, marginalised people – often facing a lack of health-promoting opportunities.
Byambaa is confident – in the future and in the health trajectory of her nation.
Spend much time with her, and you will be confident too.
She sees great potential in her colleagues and peers, and tells of a young generation that is very different from the one before. One that is globally connected, globally educated and passionate for change in their country.
Change that will not only see a continuation of economic prosperity and development, but one that will also empower and enable a population to live healthier and longer lives. Free from chronic, debilitating disease.
Well, we've been here a week and today we're finishing up. Packing away the cameras and with it, footage of nomadic families, Ulaanbaatar's poorest districts, the beautiful countryside, the generous locals, the rapidly transforming city and the optimism of a young generation.
Footage which will not only show a stunning and fascinating journey of a young leader and passionate health-promoter, but also rally a global community to action on a group of largely ignored, mostly-preventable yet highly deadly diseases.
Listen to a podcast interview focusing on NCDFREE and our trip to Mongolia, broadcasted live yesterday on ABC Radio Australia.
Connect with Sandro on Twitter via @SandroDemaio.
To follow our trip more closely this week, head to the NCDFREE Facebook page.
Dr Alessandro Demaio is a medical doctor, originally from Melbourne, Australia, with a Masters in Public Health. In 2010, Sandro began a PhD in Global Health with the University of Copenhagen, focusing on Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). His primary research project is based in Mongolia. As a Director for NCD Action, in 2013 Alessandro is a fellow at the Copenhagen School of Global Health and Harvard Medical School.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
2007 Ford Mustang - Fresh Squeezed
Brian Dimarino's Grabber Orange GT backs up its looks with a shot of nitrous
Grabber Orange is one of those polarizing colors that people seem to either hate or love. We happen to fall squarely into the latter category. Clearly, so does Brian DiMarino, whose '07 GT is called Squeeze by his friends, mostly in reference to its extroverted hue, but just maybe also owing to its bottle-supplied power adder.
The eye-grabbing coupe is the 27-year-old's first car: "When I graduated college, says Brian, "I started working in New York City. I got back and forth to work via the subway like most everyone else in Manhattan. I found myself underground, shoulder to shoulder with strangers, daydreaming about having a car .. a Mustang. So one day those daydreams infiltrated my work, and I started looking them up and building my own on the Ford website. I called Sunshine Ford-Lincoln, a dealer in Newburgh, New York, near where my parents lived in Orange County."
Orange County? How appropriate, because of all the GTs on Sunshine's lot, it was this one that, uh, grabbed his attention. "A nice guy named Frank answered the phone and we talked a bit before I asked what he had on the lot for me to test drive that weekend. He said he had a couple blacks, red, silver, a Vista Blue, and a Grabber Orange. My ears perked up and I asked, 'What does Grabber Orange look like?' After a quick Google search, I gave Frank a credit card number and told him to take a couple hundred bucks and hold the car for me until I could see it."
The salesman was confident, as Brian explains. "When I got there, Frank had the car detailed and registered—he said he was sure I would buy it. The man was right. I drove off the lot with it that day and never looked back."
Virtually no Mustangs—especially GTs—remain bone-stock, and Brian's is obviously no exception. "The modifying started before I really even had the car. Once I started looking at Mustangs, I started trying to figure out what I wanted my 'Stang to look like. I told myself about 100 times I wasn't going to do anything dramatic—I was just going to enjoy it as it was. Obviously that didn't materialize."
But unlike many in the Mustang herd, Brian pretty much began his modifications not underhood, but in the trunk. "I started with a shorty antenna and sequential taillights. Then I decided to upgrade the head unit to a touchscreen. Then I decided if I was going to take the dash apart, I should probably run the wires for the subs. Then I decided if I was going to run the wires, I should just do the subs. (I think you see the pattern.) Subs turned into doing the whole trunk, which turned into adding component speaker upgrades.
"Once I decided the whole trunk was going to be done, I decided to add nitrous bottles because they looked good. Then I ran the nitrous to the motor and hooked it up, so I needed a switch. Where should I put a switch? Well, that lead me to add a switch panel inside built from a Shelby GT500 center gauge pod. But I had room for extra switches, so I started thinking about what else I could wire in ... nitrous purge, trunk release (why Ford didn't add one is beyond me), LEDs in the trunk and under the dash. I ran out of ideas but still had room left on the panel. That's when I went gauge crazy.
"I added the nitrous and air/fuel ratio gauges, but decided I liked the fuel and oil pressure gauges as well. That turned into the pillar gauge pod. But why get a dual-pod pillar when I could get a triple? So the last gauge I added was the vacuum/boost. (Now I need a ProCharger ... next year).
"Once all that was done, I had supercharger on the brain when I turned to the motor. I added the JLT intake with a Brenspeed tune, then the strut-tower brace, plenum cover, and other engine dress-up.
"After that, all I could think about was the muscle-car growl that the stock exhaust just couldn't give me. I turned to a company called The Race Car Factory. Apparently it does some R&D for MAC exhaust and were keen on selling me a MAC axle-back. I did a lot of research, but eventually took the chance on an exhaust I knew much less about—I ordered the axle-back and a Pro Chamber midpipe. I was not disappointed."
Only then did Brian turn his attention to the coupe's exterior, where he decided on forged 20-inch Shelby (Alcoa) Super Snake rims. The resulting ride height-induced fender gap led to Eibach springs, Tokico D-Spec dampers, and some BMR suspension hardware, including an adjustable Panhard bar. Picking up a used (and slightly curb-damaged) Cervini's front fascia eventually led to the acquisition of the full Cervini's body kit now on the coupe—a combination of C-Series and Stalker hardware—accented by a custom-built lower mesh grille behind an old-school, caged pair of PIAA foglights.
Brian then decided the cabin needed a little brightening, so he had Jim DePergola of Jim's Body Shop, remove and refinish all the plastic interior panels in Grabber Orange. He also decided the car's monochromatic orange mass needed a bit of white striping, which he also carried through to the cockpit.
The result of all this work caught our attention at last summer's Carlisle All-Ford Nationals. But Brian's certainly not done, as he still has a ProCharger centrifugal and Comp Mutha Thumpr cams on his to-do list. There's more to be squeezed from this project yet.

STILLWATER — Three facilities on the Stillwater campus of Oklahoma State University have reached the $1 million mark in energy savings. The buildings are the Advanced Technology Research Center, Boone Pickens Stadium and the Wes Watkins Center for International Trade Development.
This milestone is part of a system-wide savings of more than $22 million since OSU's Energy Conservation Program began in July 2007.
The majority of the savings in energy costs is due to the modification of heating and air conditioning systems to run on an "as needed" basis and changing the behaviors of employees and students.
"It is because our faculty, staff and students have embraced our energy conservation program that the university has been able to see such a huge savings in energy costs," said OSU President Burns Hargis.
Working with the OSU Energy Conservation Program, faculty, staff and students have made concentrated efforts to reduce energy usage in their offices, labs, workspaces and living areas. By embracing the university's energy conservation guidelines each person on campus has contributed to the reduction of energy usage as a conscientious energy consumer and conserver.
The facilities are receiving plaques to recognize the $1 million in energy savings.

The focus of any IT company should be on innovation, not disaster recovery. Budget and resources should align with your business objectives, and when possible, non-revenue generating tasks should be outsourced.
Do you have the time or ability to design, implement and test recovery solutions that meet your business requirements? Do you have DR staff or expertise on site? And, if you recognize the benefits of outsourcing DR capabilities, do you have an accurate grasp of your own cost of downtime so you can properly qualify and quantify the proper level of outsourced DR services to buy? Given that the average cost of unplanned data center downtime is more than $5,000 per minute, knowing your own financial impact of downtime is important so you can protect your business accordingly.
At Rackspace, we offer several services in our Resiliency Solutions portfolio. One example is Rackspace Replication Manager. It's available for Managed Virtualization customers and helps automate the recovery plan for important VMware® VMs that are hosted in Rackspace data centers. Replication Manager relies on Array-based Replication (powered by EMC® RecoverPoint or NetApp® SnapMirror®) to replicate VMs between the Rackspace source site and the Rackspace target site. Replication Manager uses VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to simplify and automate the recovery process of the protected VMs.
In many cases, deploying your own resiliency solution can take weeks or months to set up. Traditional resiliency solutions often require manual runbooks that are difficult to maintain and can lead to data falling out of sync when your application or infrastructure changes. Replication Manager makes it easy to setup an automated recovery plan and replaces many of the runbooks that make for an unreliable, time-consuming and complex recovery process. This reduces the potential for human error, out-of-sync configurations, and enables you to group VMs based on dependencies and prioritize their recovery order.
Research has found that companies do not test their failover plans often enough. Rackspace includes one failover test every three months to ensure that you meet your DR compliance needs. Given that some companies charge per failover test, and that these charges can add up quickly, we can help ease the financial burden of DR testing for your business. Based on the successful completion of the failover test every three months, Rackspace can offer a custom Recovery Time SLA. VMware Certified Professionals are available 24×7 to help architect complex resiliency solutions using SRM and can also help you perform non-disruptive failover tests.
If you would like to learn more about this topic, Rackspace and VMware will be co-presenting on SRM and DR planning at VMworld in San Francisco on Monday, August 26 at 4 p.m. PDT. If you are attending, please consider visiting this session to learn more about how VMware and Rackspace work together to help you with your disaster recovery needs.
Heading to VMworld 2013, August 25 to August 29 in San Francisco? We are too.
Come check us out at booth No. 2404 on the expo floor – we're excited to talk to you about new additions to our VMware®-powered service portfolio, Rackspace Managed Virtualization, and the future of Rackspace Hybrid Cloud. We'll also have technical experts in the booth to answer all of your questions about everything from Rackspace Replication Manager (powered by VMware SRM) to VMware to OpenStack.
While you're here, play our "Unlock the Cloud" game for a chance to win prizes.
And be sure to see Rackspace Enterprise Cloud Strategist Paul Croteau and VMware's Bryan Evans present "DR to the Cloud with VMware Site Recovery Manager and Rackspace Disaster Recovery Planning Services" at 4 p.m. PDT on Monday, August 26.

Getting sewage treatment plant back in shape
To the Editor:
The work that Nassau County is undertaking for the future of the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant ("Wastewater study underway," October 4-10) is a much-welcomed relief. Thanks to the tireless work of Legislator Howard Kopel and County Executive Ed Mangano, the millions of dollars of upgrades, enhancements and improvements have already brought the longtime scourge of our community up to standards.
Decades of unfilled promises to fix releasing sewage into our waterways were made. Some politicians refused to take a stand, while others wanted to bring raw, untreated sewage from the Lawrence/Cedarhurst plant here. But Kopel, Mangano and I made good on promises to reverse that trend and get The Bay Park plant back in shape.
I'm proud of the work that we have accomplished together, and I'm hopeful that the major study looking at the feasibility of constructing an ocean outfall pipeline to take the plant's treated sewage into the Atlantic Ocean, far away from Reynolds Channel, will work, especially since almost $300,000 in funds are earmarked for this study.
Thanks to Legislator Kopel and County Executive Mangano's improvements at the plant, there has also not been a DEC-reportable incident in over a year and a half. That's what I call listening to the community and making good on promises.
While the next step will be a bit more tenuous, when it's achieved it will be another crucial quality-of-life and environmental improvement for Bay Park, East Rockaway as well as our bays and waterways.
Anthony J. Santino
Town of Hempstead councilman
Thanks for loving tribute to Glen

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Cambodia"
Revision as of 06:10, 26 March 2007
Oof! The editing of CIA data suggests that this article is ripe for defactbookization. Anyone up for it? --Evan 23:40, 4 Jan 2004 (EST)
I've edited the section on land mines to better reflect reality. As I've written, 99.9% of tourists will never be at any risk of stepping on a mine. It's important to be aware of the issue of mines that the country as a whole faces, but to present the threat to tourists as anything other than virtually nonexistant is irresponsible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 22.214.171.124 (talk • contribs)
Kampong Cham lists all prices in US dollars. Is use of the dollar in Cambodia so widespread, and so more prevalent than use of the local currency, that we should make an exception to the prices guidelines on accommodation listings and friends? I think this is a case where the traveller comes first and we shouldn't list prices out in the local currency if travellers will never see those prices; however, I'd like to know if that's the case. --Evan 10:31, 6 Dec 2005 (EST)
I added content to the respect section. The things I put I feel are highly relevant based on what I personally observed while in Cambodia. Many tourists go there with a hardcore bargaining mindset, while Khmers themselves are rather meek and mellow bargainers and not hard to get the best price of. Some tourists will spend endless hours haggling for the best possible price, then go to a western owned bar and buy $20 worth of drinks without so much as an "eep" of protest, which is downright disrespectful. Brian Hnatiak
Agreed, with one exception: taxi/motodup/tuktuk drivers. Especially in the larger cities, they try to rip off tourists. It has happened to me on several occasions after walking away from a driver they came after me, dropping the fare they asked by half or even 4 times. Hans Hoppe
The tipping customs would be a welcome addition. It should probably be included on every national page, and every subnational page where the tipping customs differ within the country.

CARLETON (AP) -- A Michigan bride and groom dressed as zombies to mark a scary day of marriage with a Halloween-themed wedding.
The Monroe Evening News reports 30-year-old Amanda Cusumano of Monroe and 40-year-old Todd Lambert of Carleton exchanged vows Saturday with a pastor dressed as Sherlock Holmes officiating.
Friends and family also dressed in costume for the ceremony in Carleton, about 30 miles southwest of Detroit.
Cusumano wore a black velvet dress. Lambert wore a black suit and fake monster teeth, and carried a skeleton-headed cane. He says the aim was to be "unconventional."
Pastor Eric Drummonds says they came together "to celebrate one of the scariest moments of their lives."
Guests sat for the ceremony on hay bales. Their costumes included a chef, bride of Frankenstein and dental floss.

Shhh: Pratt & Whitney pioneers quieter jet engine
A quiet innovation in aviation is expected later this month.
Bombardier Aerospace plans to test-fly a new plane with quieter engines from Pratt & Whitney. The companies say the geared turbofan engines are projected to burn 20% less fuel and reduce noise, and Bombardier could be the first to use planes with the quieter engines a year from now.
While airlines would appreciate better fuel efficiency, the promise of quieter flights for passengers and for people on the ground could also allow airlines to land more planes at airports with noise restrictions.
"They're so quiet as you come in for an approach, if you shut off the engines you can't tell the difference," said Alan Epstein, vice president for technology and environment at Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technologies.
Neighbors of noise-restricted airports are monitoring the development of quieter engines, but they have questions about how they will actually work.
Donald MacGlashan, a board member of the group Citizens for the Abatement of Aircraft Noise, which monitors Dulles and Reagan National airports near Washington, would like a reduction in a regional jet's noise, but he's waiting to see the actual results.
"We would certainly welcome it," MacGlashan said. "But I'm skeptical."
The Pratt & Whitney engines could become the first to carry travelers on Bombardier planes next year. Pratt & Whitney's first test flight for an Airbus engine for the A320neo was May 15, but that plane isn't expected to be in service until late 2015.
A rival engine manufacturer, the CFM International partnership of General Electric and Safran of France, is also developing a quieter engine for single-aisle planes such as the A320neo and Boeing's 737 MAX. That engine is first expected in commercial service aboard the A320neo in 2016 and the 737 MAX in 2017, according to CFM spokeswoman Jamie Jewell.
The market for the quieter engines is significant, with projections for up to 25,000 aircraft over the next 20 years with as many as 50,000 engines, Jewell said. So far CFM has orders for 4,600 of the quieter engines, and Pratt & Whitney has more than 4,500 orders and options, according to the companies.
Eventually, quieter engines could be developed for wide-body planes, too.
Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst as vice president for the Teal Group in Virginia, called the Pratt & Whitney engine "a significant innovation." But he said it's unclear which engine will lead the market.
"It's become a huge battle, with completely different propulsion philosophies, different customers, yet effectively two engines in the same power class," Aboulafia said. "It's a nice step forward. We just don't know what kind of lead it will have over the competition."
The key to the Pratt & Whitney engine is a gear behind the engine's fan that allows it to turn slower for the same thrust, the same way a higher gear on a bicycle requires less pedaling to cover the same distance.
The new engine's fan for the A320neo is 81 inches in diameter, rather than the previous 63 inches, Epstein said. While larger, it turns slower and burns less fuel through a gear the size of a car's wheel, Epstein said.
The engines are headed to the Airbus A320neo; Bombardier CS100 and CS300; Embraer 170, 175, 190 and 195; Mitsubishi Regional Jet; and Irkut planes, Epstein said. Airbus and Embraer are retrofitting existing planes, while the others are putting the engines on new models.
The quieter engines are projected to reduce the jet's noise 3 to 5 decibels at specific points around an airport, which is projected to shrink the zones covered by noise restrictions by 75%, according to Pratt & Whitney and CFM.
"That means that aircraft noise, in most cases, will be contained within the confines of the airport," said Jewell of CFM.
Numerous airports across the country have restrictions on late-night or early-morning flights because of noise. For example in 2011, Reagan National got 505 noise complaints and Dulles got 157 noise complaints, according to the most recent report available from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.
MacGlashan, the airport noise watchdog, said reducing the noise of regional jets overhead would "certainly be an improvement." But he said residents are most concerned about the loudest noises that jets make rather than the average noise that manufacturers measure.
"It depends on what kind of aircraft they're thinking of putting them on," he said.
If the new engines are successful, airlines serving city airports with noise restrictions in Toronto, London and Stockholm are eager for quieter engines to allow more flights, according to Marianella de la Barrera, a spokeswoman for Bombardier.
Pratt & Whitney and Bombardier expect the quieter engines aboard the CS100 to be the first delivered about this time next year, after the test flight expected later this month.
Announced customers include Republic Airways, Porter Airlines in Canada and Gulf Air in the Middle East.
"It's actually well suited for urban communities," de la Barrera said. "It's widely acknowledged that it's going to be a step-change for the industry."

"After the Rain" (16x16)
Just got back from a week of painting at Sonoma Plein Air. This is a great event, except it's not really a competition like most of the other plein air shows that offer awards and prize money -- the only award at SPA is the "Artists Choice" award which has no monetary value -- just minor prestige and a bullet on your resume. The main thing is getting the chance to paint the landscape from life and hope you produce something a collector just can't live without... Still, the competition is there, only it's to out-paint yourself (which a true artists integrity would dictate anyway).
Doing these shows is kind of like being on the PGA tour...if your lucky and get juried in, you load up your clubs, er...I mean painting gear, make arrangements for housing, etc. and hit the road where you catch up with some of the same artists you saw at the last event. Another benefit in Sonoma is the high quality accommodations; when they put you up for the week, it's not in Junior's vacated bunk bed. These folks really know how to pamper their guests -- I was treated to the plush guest house of a very gracious host, overlooking their full sized tennis courts and personal putting green.
Of course it was hardly R&R time lugging a French easel around 12 hours a day, but I did sleep like Jed Clampett every night... The only downer came about half way thru the day of the show at the end of the week when it started raining... that may have kept some of the crowds away, but I still managed to sell a few pieces so all in all it was a great time -- I even got to see my brother and his family who drove up from OC to meet me there (thanks again guys, that was great!).
"Sonoma Valley Sunrise" (9x12)
I do miss the California landscape I grew up in though -- the eucalyptus and sycamore trees, the rolling, oak-covered hills and sunshine -- but this time even the rain was a benefit as it produced some really nice cloud formations...
Next is my solo show "Off Key, On Point" opening up at Bonner David Galleries in Scottsdale next week -- they've already pre-sold several pieces down there so maybe I can upgrade my hotel room (but I think I'll leave my brushes at home for this one)...

No-Pay DirtPosted in Features on June 17, 2005
Nearly a year after the staff here at 4-Wheel & Off-Road started our cheap truck projects, we finally got them in the dirt--at least a few of them. Back in the July '04 issue, we introduced you to the challenge of buying and building a 4x4 with a maximum budget of $1,500, and since that time we've wrenched, broken, bartered, and stolen our way to a few running rigs. Finally, on the first weekend of March we invited some cronies along with similar rigs and headed out to the desert to see what our piles could do.
1PhotosView Slideshow
The 4-Wheel & Off-Road staff headed to Salton City and Truckhaven Hills recreational area during the Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari to initiate the first Cheap Truck Challenge. This was a perfect place to go, since the event brought lots of vehicles, but since it's like a giant sandbox, you can get away from everyone and still find places to play. Plus, the terrain is very forgiving without too many body-crushing rocks and death-defying cliffs (though there are some). A three-way race/photoshoot had us all bombing down a wash. Jones was taking it easy, Pw and Hot Rod Editor David Freiburger were just happy to be out of the office, and Williams was making every squirrel under the hood scream as he tried to keep up.
From the start, this exercise in fiscally responsible wheeling was intended to prove that fun in the dirt doesn't need to cost a ton, especially if you have a can-do attitude, are not scared to take your time and scavenge parts, and are not trying to impress everyone with how much money you spent on paint and chrome. It's true that most of the vehicles that made it to the dirt also exceeded the budget in one way or another, but none of them were pushed beyond budget for aesthetic reasons, and most of the inflation was due to parts breakage before the actual trip started (some of us just had to do some "testing" while waiting for others to get their junk done).
So you might ask, "Who won the Cheap Truck Challenge?" And truthfully, we don't care. Editor Rick Pw's junk was pretty cheap, but he didn't drive it to the desert, but rather towed it there and back with his lux-o-camper. Technical Editor David Kennedy didn't drive his Bronco either, but that's because it's gone beyond cheap and into the Kennedy-project Bermuda triangle, where trucks get super modified but rarely finished. Feature Editor Jerrod Jones drove his Dodge Lawg there, though it wasn't really his. At some point in the past year, Kennedy bought it from him, but then Jones bought it back, but never paid Kennedy, so technically a Kennedy project did make it to the dirt, but with another driver. Either way, it was almost a day late, and not exactly the best suited for some of the tighter trails, though the big 440 and Parnelli Jones driving style made up for that. Finally, Feature Editor Fred Williams showed up on time, slept in his junk, wheeled it hard, and drove it there and home under its own power. Of course, he also had the slowest rig, and lost tons of plastic parts on the trail, not to mention that driving his junk was more an exercise in physical fitness than skill since it had no power steering. The fact is that what we were really after was fun with junk, and we found tons of it. Going cheap is great because you are so carefree about carnage, and if any one of you readers start building a cheap rig and get it in the dirt, then we've won. Yes, we want you to support our advertisers, but even more so, we want you wheeling instead of sitting at home in front of the TV. Stay tuned and we'll definitely do more with our junk. And next time you should come along.

Making KDE's Konqueror Obey You
Customizations GaloreI am a proud KDE-lover, and I think Konqueror is the best file manager there is. It's a pretty good Web browser too, though it tends to gag on certain script-heavy, poorly-scripted sites. But that seems a rational response--spit 'em out and move on.
Making Konqueror's Default View What You WantGetting back to Konqueror the file manager. As wonderful as it is, a common complaint is setting the default view to anything other than Icon View. Sure, you can change it with the little drop-down menu, you can save your carefully-customize File Management profile a hundred times, but it will always revert to Icon View. Fortunately there is a fix for this, though a convoluted and obscure one. Go into Settings --> Configure Konqueror, and then scroll down and click on "File Associations". Click on "inode" (now that's intuitive!), and then click on "directory". Click on the "Embedding" tab, and under "Services Preference Order" move whatever view you like to the top. I like Detailed List View; you may choose whichever one you prefer. Save your changes and you should be all set.
PCLinuxOS requires a different fix, which you can find at Make Konqueror use your default view mode in new tabs, plus there are other helpful comments. Hurrah for helpful bloggers!
How to Open KDE the File Manager or KDE the Web BrowserYour favorite Linux distribution may not include menu icons for both of these, and a lot of new KDE users get frustrated because they only have a launcher for one or the other. However, you're not stuck because there are many different ways to get there. First take notice of Settings --> Load View Profile. By default there should be File Management and Web Browsing, so you can open either one after Konqueror is open.
$ konqueror --profiles
How do I know all this? From reading man konqueror. You won't see split because that is a custom profile that I created.
Now you know which command to use to create a menu icon. Open the KDE menu editor by right-clicking on the blue K, or run kmenuedit from a command line. Click New Item. You need only three things: a name that you make up, the correct command, and a nice icon which you can find by clicking on the icon box. Figure 1 shows you what it looks like.
Customizing ProfilesYou may also easily customize your profiles. For example, I want Konqueror the file manager to always open at the same directory. So I open it to that directory, then do "Settings --> Save View Profile File Management". Checking "Save URLs in view profile" makes sure it will always open to my chosen directory. You can customize Konqueror to your heart's content and then save it in a profile, and you can even create customized profiles under different names for all occasions. This works for both Web and file manager profiles.

"The nation has collapsed, but the mountains and rivers remain."
So wrote the 8th-century Chinese poet Du Fu, reflecting on the political turbulence of his own era. Seeking constancy amidst change, these words have been recalled time and again over the centuries. Like Du Fu's mountains and rivers, aesthetics in Chinese art and culture have persisted through centuries of dynastic change, social upheaval, and the introduction of foreign ideas. Ultimately these aesthetic standards are a testament to the power of art and its transcendence over the vagaries of time. Although China is a diverse, longstanding and ever-changing culture, this exhibition at the Peabody Essex Museum seeks to explore the unifying strands and continuities that link the neolithic and the contemporary, the imperial and the vernacular, the Daoist and the Maoist in Chinese art and culture.
This web component was developed by the Peabody Essex Museum as a resource for students and teachers. Along with a select group of objects and textual descriptions from the exhibition, the site also provides lesson plans for elementary, middle and high school classes.

MILWAUKEE—Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper say they both took strength from reaching out to one another when dealing with mass shootings in their states.
Walker and Hickenlooper were asked at a news conference Friday about their different responses to the shootings. They are both attending the National Governors Association meeting in Milwaukee.
Monday marks the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting at a Sikh Temple near Milwaukee that left six worshippers dead. A shooter in Colorado killed 12 people inside a movie theater in July 2012.
Walker, a Republican, emphasized the need for more mental health services following the Wisconsin shooting. But Hickenlooper, a Democrat, says he believes universal background checks are needed to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.

I just started learning (common) lisp so I am new to it. I saw that there was an assignment up-coming soon but I decided to try it as early as possible to get all the generic ideas.
The main idea is to make a simple program that does this:
turns " (x+y)^2 " into " x^2 + 2xy + y^2 "
and few more. (I want to do those other things myself so I can learn)
How do I do this in clisp ? Because I am not sure how I should represent in a suitable way and how I should write the function.
So, if any could care, some snippet code will definitely be useful. I am not asking anyone to write down the whole function for me. A bit of idea with an explanation of the function and background would definitely help me kick start.
Yes, I am new to this forum.
Good day.

Good news, the site's back online. They must've been undergoing maintenance or something. Better extract the pictures quickly.
EDIT: Turns out the site has some good security of some sort. I'm not even able to right-click on the pictures without it giving some kind of "DENIED" message.

I think I will do a rough translations for now. I cant access media fire or mega-upload so the only thing I can do is type a transcript.
is it possible for Mr. Wang to upload it to rapidshare? Since I can still access that particular website. I'll then be able to hopefully upload it after I do a rough translations.

There you go. However, since I do not own a Rapidshare account, my upload will only stay up on this second link for sixty days. And apparently, unless I get an account, it can only be downloaded 10 times... I suggest not using this download link, unless you happen to be Cloner4000 or a translator...
If the link doesn't work, I'll just make an account and re-upload it. Hopefully by then, we can get a decent idea of what's going on in the manga.

got it..thanks...I'll try to finish it in one or two days..
in the mean time more work for you...
here is chapter 2...we got to see the first battle..look like plenty of character make appearances.
the website I go to updates randomly, but I do check the website pretty often so I'll post the link whenever I see it.

I managed to get all the images here. I ran into the image protection the site has that Runty mentioned, though oddly enough, closing the pop-up after my first two attempts, the protection window didn't come up anymore as I continued clicking on the images, and going "save as."
It's a pain in the ass though, that whenever you right click, it goes back to the previous page before it. It essentially doubled the time it would normally take, considering I right clicked every single image... Bah, whatever.
Here is a download link for the second chapter of the VC Manga, pending translation. For right now, this is only a megaupload download, for anyone who wishes for it. Otherwise, I'm afraid that a Rapidshare upload will have to wait Cloner, because the site apparently keeps timing out on me due to the file's size... Anyway, the link will be available to you for download later on, though not too long. In the meantime...

I think it's more like the way the site is made that everytime you right click it send you back to the previous page. I thought that somehow Mr.Wang isn't affected. If that's the case, I save the images on end too. I am also having some trouble with rapidshare as its slow and disconnect from time to time. I'll be back in states in two weeks or so, so worst come to worst you guys might have to wait till then. But i'll keep trying.
Btw....any suggestion to the color of the letter I should make so that is would be viable against the background.

I've got the files uploaded to the Rapidshare link, finally. I see that you're having a bit of problems with it, so I'm wondering just how much trouble it might be to download it. In any case, we've waited for a long time just for VC2 to actually come out, two more weeks won't kill us to read the manga... right?
Also, the page only takes you to the previous page, because if you left click on the manga image, it takes you to the next page, but if you right click, it takes you to the previous page. It takes up about ten more minutes of my time, though it's nothing I can't really handle.

I found a preview of another VC2 manga, this one focusing on Aliasse. This one seems a bit more... comical? I dunno what word would best describe it.
By the way, is there any more of the regular VC2 manga available?
EDIT: Here's another link which has more info on this particular manga.
From what I can gist from it, it looks like Magari has a leading role in this alongside our loli-Valkyria. Yay for moe Darcsens!

The Famitsu website apparently has Japanese versions of the VC2 manga available. Better get them while they're still there. I haven't been able to extract them, so I'm hoping someone else might have more luck.
Got to see the third chapter of the manga.

For all those in the dark, he offers a mantra: "Leave no trace."
The Leave No Trace principles date back as far as the 1970s and have now been adopted by a wide variety of outdoor groups and agencies, from the Bureau of Land Management to the Boy Scouts of America.
The basic tenants, as condensed from the BLM's website, are:
• Plan ahead and prepare. Unprepared groups usually make high-impact choices out of necessity.
• Travel and camp on durable surfaces. (In the desert, that means hiking on washes, established trails and rocks. Especially avoid soil crusts.)
• Pack it in. Pack it out.
• Properly dispose of what you can't pack out.
• Leave what you find.
• Minimize use and impact of fires.
By familiarizing people with these ideas, Henderson hopes to bring them up to speed with the ins and outs of the local terrain, which, he said, is nothing like the relatively sturdy ecosystems of rainy forest or ocean beaches.
"Here, a set of tire tracks, a set of footprints in the wrong place can be there for 40 or 50 years," he said.
For more detailed tips, visit the BLM website at www.blm.gov/education/lnt/principles.html.

Nebraska football's Corey Cooper and Randy Gregory were among 42 players named to the 2014 Lott IMPACT Trophy Watch List when the Pacific Club IMPACT Foundation announced its nominees on Wednesday. The Lott IMPACT Trophy goes to the college football defensive player who has the biggest IMPACT on his team both on and off the field. IMPACT is an acronym for Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community and Tenacity.
The winner will be announced at the annual Lott IMPACT Trophy Banquet Dec. 14 at The Pacific Club in Newport Beach.
Cooper, a senior, started all 13 games last season and led Nebraska with 91 tackles. He earned 52 solo stops and five tackles for loss in addition to one interception as a junior in 2013. Cooper was named an honorable mention All-Big Ten pick by conference coaches.
Gregory, a junior defensive end, earned unanimous first-team All-Big Ten honors after his first season at Nebraska in 2013. He led the Big Ten in sacks with 10.5, and made 66 total tackles as a sophomore. His 10.5 sacks also set a school record for most by a first-year defender.
Gregory started 10 games and appeared in all 13, while registering 19 tackles for loss. He will anchor Nebraska's defensive line in his second year with the program.
