PLAINFIELD — A public hearing is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday at Plainfield Town Hall to discuss several proposed infrastructure projects, including a massive wastewater treatment plant upgrade, more than a dozen school-based repairs and the purchase of a foreclosed parcel to free up room at a local elementary school. The public hearing will be held in anticipation of a town meeting and referendum on the three proposals.
Sewer plant: Officials are seeking to bond $5 million to refurbish two 45-year-old wastewater treatment plants to conduct upgrades mandated by the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The work would entail replacing internal components — including lights, motors and pumps — at the Sunny Brook and Central Village plants which serve roughly 5,400 Plainfield and Sterling residents. Officials said the bond would be paid over 20 years and would add approximately $13 to residents' tax bills.
Schools: The public hearing will also provide details on a $4.4 million bond proposal to fund nearly two dozen repair and replacement projects in the school district. School officials said the work will likely be eligible for a state reimbursement of 75.7 percent — or $3.3 million. The proposed project would fund repairs to roofs at the Plainfield Central, Memorial, Shepard Hill Elementary and Moosup Elementary schools, as well as to the Early Childhood Center. Parking lots and heating and cooling systems would also be repaired, while the district's wireless system would be upgraded. School officials said the proposed work will focus on aging schools with 20- and 40-year-old systems.
Foreclosed property: Residents on Wednesday will also learn about a proposal to purchase 5 acres at 87 Main St., a recently foreclosed property whose space officials said could help alleviate parking issues and other potential space issues at nearby Moosup Elementary School. The school, described by officials as "land-locked," has no room to expand beyond its present boundaries without buying more land. Town officials said the parcel, which runs contiguous to the school property and includes a two-story residence that could eventually be rented out, has been appraised at $295,000.

Ark. Police Photograph License Plates, Store Data
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Little Rock may not be a likely terrorism target or a gang crime hotspot, but the Arkansas capital is following the example of high-security cities by expanding electronic surveillance of its streets.
A police car with a device that photographs license plates moves through the city and scans the traffic on the streets, relaying the data it collects to a computer for sifting. Police say the surveillance helps identify stolen cars and drivers with outstanding arrest warrants.
It also allows authorities to monitor where average citizens might be at any particular time. That bothers some residents, as well as groups that oppose public intrusions into individual privacy. The groups are becoming more alarmed about license plate tracking as a growing number of police departments acquire the technology.

After being married for thirty years, a wife asked her husband to describe her. He looked at her for a while, then said, "You're A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K."
She asks, "What does that mean?"
He said, "Adorable, Beautiful, Cute, Delightful, Elegant, Foxy, Gorgeous, Hot.
She smiled happily and said, "Oh, that's so lovely. What about I, J, K?"
He said, "I'm Just Kidding!"
The swelling in his eye is going down and the doctor is fairly optimistic about saving his testicles.

User interface is among the most important parts of any web browser, but lately they're all starting to look the same.
Introducing the idea, Mozilla developer Marcio Galli asks, "What kinds of wild-eyed experimentation would we see if a new conception of browser UI could be prototyped in about the same time it takes to write a web page?" To illustrate his point, Galli posted a simple example that uses page screenshot thumbnails instead of tabs. Full Story At- http://www.pcworld.com/article/208603/

Amtrak plans to restore some NYC service on Friday
Amtrak says it plans to restore some service on Friday to and from New York City, which has been without intercity train service since it was walloped by superstorm Sandy.
The railroad said the removal of water from flooded train tunnels under the Hudson and East rivers is continuing so that repairs to tracks, signals and power systems can be made. A Friday schedule is expected to be released Thursday.
Service to Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey has been restored, but Northeast Regional service between Newark and New Haven, Conn., and Acela Express service for the length of the Northeast Corridor are canceled for Thursday. Empire Service between New York City and other cities in the state, and Canada are also canceled for Thursday.

Well, my fellow East Tennessee history aficionados, the wait is over. The McClung Museum's special exhibit Knoxville Unearthed: Archaeology in the Heart of the Valley opened last Friday night, and it's quite spiffy. Kudos to the co-curators, archaeologists Charles Faulkner and Tim Baumann (bonus points to the latter because he's a fellow Marble Springs board member), exhibits preparator Christopher Weddig, and all the other folks who helped make it happen. It's a fantastic 225th birthday present for the city.
The exhibit covers Knoxville's transition from a rough frontier settlement into an industrialized city, but being an eighteenth-century guy, I'm most excited about the early stuff. Let's take a look at some highlights.
Before there was a State of Tennessee, Knoxville was the capital city of the Southwest Territory. This English-made teapot was found at the site of the office Col. David Henley occupied after his appointment as agent of the Department of War in 1793. It was the same location where, in 1796, a convention met which drafted Tennessee's first constitution.
Remember our visit to Tellico Blockhouse back in July? Here's a pearlware teacup recovered from the site, dating to the period when the fort was an active frontier post.
East Tennessee's original historic inhabitants are represented in the exhibit, too. The archaeological record contains traces of items they obtained in trade with Anglo-Americans, like this eighteenth-century brass bucket fragment from the Cherokee town of Tomotley.
Trading with whites didn't mean the Cherokees slavishly adopted whatever products they obtained, however. Sometimes they repurposed Anglo-American goods into something new. A brass kettle from England might end up as ornamental tinkling cones, like these examples from Chota.
James White was the first Anglo-American settler to take up residence in Knoxville, moving here with his family in the mid-1780s. These bones belonged to a pig that ended up on the White family's table. Pork was an important staple of pioneer diets in the southern backcountry.
Hey, speaking of pioneers, I think I know this guy…
I'm delighted that artifacts from Marble Springs figure prominently in the exhibit. Teams of archaeologists from UT conducted excavations at the site in the early 2000s, but this is the first time their discoveries have been on display for the public.
Items dating from John Sevier's occupancy of the site include this English bowl fragment…
…and a small piece of a pepper shaker. Perhaps Nolichucky Jack used it to add a little flavor to his food while mulling over how much he hated Andrew Jackson.
Ceramics recovered from Marble Springs indicate that while Sevier lived pretty well, he wasn't using the finest dinnerware available on the early frontier. But he was wealthy enough to have other people doing his work for him. This hatchet head and knife were recovered from the location of one of the slave cabins. They offer a tangible link to men and women we know mostly from brief, passing references in Sevier's journal.
Artifacts excavated from the slave quarters of Blount Mansion, the 1790s home of the Southwest Territory's governor, provide another look at the lives of enslaved laborers in early Tennessee. One of them wore this good luck amulet…
…while fragments of English and Chinese ceramics indicate that slaves used hand-me-down dinnerware from their owners.
About a year ago, as you may recall, we paid a virtual visit to Ramsey House. When Francis Ramsey took up residence in the Knoxville area in the 1790s, he initially lived in a log cabin. Later, after completing the impressive stone house that is still standing to this day, he seems to have used the log building as an office. In the nineteenth century, the log structure changed functions again, this time to a slave quarters. Here are a few bits and pieces recovered from the site, including another amulet.
Finally, this may be the most poignant item featured in the exhibit, a neck restraint dating from the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century excavated from the Tellico Blockhouse site. Little wonder the enslaved inhabitants of early Knoxville carried those amulets; they needed all the good fortune they could get.
And we haven't even gotten to the later nineteenth- and early twentieth-century artifacts yet. Knoxville Unearthed runs until January 8, 2017. Admission to the museum is free, so stop by and check it out.

Walker's Iowa speech sparks political buzz about 2016
Iowa is where presidential campaigns begin. It's the state that holds the first presidential contest every four years.
So when Gov. Scott Walker headlined one of the biggest Republican events of the year Thursday night, the political buzz began.
WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott was in Iowa and reported that Walker's message to a crowd of Iowa Republicans was one that could have been directed to a national audience -- a message that had the party faithful thinking about the future.
"You can't win on a referendum of opposition to the president, you've got offer a positive alternative," Walker said.
The governor didn't talk about, or even hint at a possible run for the White House, but it was something on the minds of many in this audience.
"Gov. Walker is running for re-election in Wisconsin in 2014, but I think he should be given serious consideration in 2016," Republican voter Eric O'Keefe said.
"He's eloquent, thoughtful, principled, and that's what people want," Republican voter Mary Whisenand said.
It was also on the minds of his critics, some who went to Iowa from Wisconsin to blast Walker at a news conference prior to the governor's speech.
"We all know what Scott Walker thinks about rights. The rights of 175,000 workers taken away," said Scot Ross of One Wisconsin Now.
But the presidential buzz wasn't limited to this event. One political analyst told Wainscott Walker is considered by many in this state as a potential GOP candidate in 2016.
"He is in that discussion. He's probably not in the top tier, but he's within shouting distance," Loras College Professor David Cochrane said.
And if he continues to test the political waters there, it will mean more visits like this, with a message for his party that plays beyond Wisconsin's borders.
"Optimism, relevance and courage in 2014, 2016 and beyond," Walker said.
The next presidential election is more than three years away, but Iowa political observers said that now is the time that candidates typically start measuring their chances there and introducing themselves to voters.
Based on the audience response there, that introduction seemed to go well for the governor, Wainscott said.
Thursday night's turnout was the largest at this event ever.
Walker didn't take any questions in Iowa, but Thursday morning, he downplayed presidential talk and said the trip was a favor to Iowa's governor.
"It's just as simple as Terry Bradstead's a good friend of mine. He did an event for me last year when I was running in the recall election. He, like other governors across the country, has asked me to attend events and sparingly when I can, so this is one of those," Walker said.
Walker said he's focused on finishing the term he's in and will make a decision next year about running for governor in 2014.

What Happens When You Order Every Mix-In at Cold Stone Creamery?
(Abandon all hope of seriousness, ye who read this article.)
The era has long passed when I ordered what a normal man orders. I've been known to say things like, "33 pieces of cheesecake, please!" This week was a little more manageable; just a few cups of ice cream. But what cups they were.
Cold Stone claims you can get anything smashed into their ice cream. Plenty of people order cookie dough and brownies and Butterfinger, say, mixed into their scoop. They pledge to make your sundae however you want. But what happens if you order every topping? No limit exists on their website, so my interest was piqued further. Could I do it?
We just had to find out.
A Cold Stone creation lies somewhere between a DQ Blizzard and hard ice cream on the greater ice cream spectrum. The process is part of the fun, as their "sundae artists" mash toppings into your ice cream on a cold slab of stone. First, a miniature bowl is created out of a scoop of ice cream, not unlike mashed potatoes awaiting gravy. Into that well, they pour spoonfuls of toppings, and then mash the walls of the dimple in on itself to create a blended treat.
Before we committed to the big order, a little warm-up: why not try all the candies? That'd be Heath Bar, Kit-Kat, Reese's, Butterfingers, Snickers, and M&Ms. No sweat.
The sundae artist didn't seem to understand me when I said "all of the candy toppings." (Come on, there aren't that many.) To avoid confusion, I just went down the line—"Heath Bar. Okay. Then Kit-Kat. Okay..."
Once we got to three, she reminded me that I did have to pay for more than two toppings. Little did she know.
What's New On Serious Eats
The all-candy mix-in was quite the creation. It tasted heavily of peanuts, present in three of the candies (Snickers, B'Fingers, and Reese's). Of these, the M&Ms, Butterfingers, and Heath Bars smashed up well in ice cream; the Kit-Kats (mine were stale) and Snickers (their caramel hard in the cold), less so.
Still running warm-ups, we decided to see if a fruit blowout would work any better. This time, the same sundae artist smirked when I asked for "all of their fruit." She told me, "We have blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and pineapple." That sounded quite all right to me, so I watched as she folded the ice cream over the toppings, and the French vanilla slowly turned pink with raspberry and strawberry juice.
The "All-Fruit" mix-in was edible, even refreshing. Most of the fruit has clearly been frozen, which was a little disappointing, but not too much of a surprise. I did like the tartness of it all, which helped to cut the overwhelming sweetness of their ice cream. My total tab thus far: $13.95, or about $7 each.
Two down, and it was time for the finale.
When I arrived at the head of the line, my server from the last round made eye contact with me and started laughing. She elbowed her friend and said, "Have fun with him." I asked for the same thing at the ice cream case: a large French Vanilla, to which my new sundae artist obliged.
Arriving at the toppings bar, I smiled and said "I'd like every single topping, please." Her eyes widened slightly in horror: "We have 24 toppings." I replied: "Then I'll take all 24."
She made an "It's your funeral" face, but went to work immediately. She dumped a huge spoonful of marshmallows into the mix, and I gulped. "Um, maybe smaller spoonfuls? I don't want to put you guys out of business."
"You have to pay for the toppings. $0.69 each."
Having put me in my place, she recommenced dumping.
I watched eagerly as the first few toppings—marshmallows, graham crackers, and M&Ms—were placed in the bowl. But it all grew more comical as they piled on. It was hard not to giggle when she put a full piece of spongecake with cherry topping in the mix; I laughed audibly when she added a full cookie's worth of cookie dough and a massive golf-ball-sized glob of peanut butter. Surprisingly, she did it all professionally—no laughs, no comments, no giggles. She also seemed to have no problem handling what became a massive mound of ice cream and toppings. I guess they have a good training program at Cold Stone.
At one point, she did look up and ask me, "Is this some kind of bet?" Jessica, our esteemed photographer responded, "Yes, something like that."
When the dust settled, my most massive mix-in wasn't the best mix-in I had that day. (I'm sure you're surprised to hear it.) By the time I paid and scooped up a big spoonful, the ice cream was mostly melted. The mixing process softens the ice cream considerably, and boy, did they mix this one. With that many toppings, each bite was different, with the first having an odd mix of Butterfinger, gummy bears, and cookie dough. The second? Marshmallow, Kit-Kats, and cherry topping.
The mix-ins, of course, are the main reason to go to Cold Stone. But it turns out they make sense only up to a certain limit. Grabbing all the fruits, all the candy, or five different wacky toppings could make for a more manageable, affordable (if still moderately absurd) dessert. This soupy mess (surprise, surprise) isn't something I'd shell $28.90 for again.
But you can now rest assured: Cold Stone Creamery will give you any of their toppings you want. Even when that "any" is "all."

"I saw another angel come down from heaven … and he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit …For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven … torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart,
I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying,
Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city!
for in ONE HOUR is thy judgment come."
– Book of Revelation 18:1-10. Holy Bible, 1st Century AD [EMPHASIS ADDED]
ABOVE – THE OFFICIAL 50 MINUTE CITY OF LONDON BURN VIDEO FROM SEPTEMBER 3rd 2016
On Saturday night, September 3rd 2016 (the Jewish Elul 1; Jesus Christ's true birthday), over the space of ONE HOUR, a symbolic 1666 effigy of the City of London was burnt publicly on a barge whilst it floated on the Thames. Over 350 years earlier, in 1660, at the restoration of the Monarchy after the English Civil War and Cromwell's short Commonwealth, the Anglican Church began to afflict non-conformist Puritans, passing legislation which basically outlawed unauthorized religious gatherings. This persecution just increased the continued flow of Independents and Puritans towards the New World; a Wilderness of Promise! Prior to the Great Fire, in 1665 the Great Plague of London had spread viciously through the City. Britain was then ruled by Charles II, a Catholic sovereign pretending to be an Anglican, but this distinction doesn't really matter too much, because Catholics & Anglicans are/were just Coke and Pepsi (totalitarian spiritual poison). In 1666, the City of London burned to the ground over three days between September 2nd and 4th. Many Puritans interpreted this plague, followed by the fire, as divine retribution sent to punish the King, the Priests, and the London money changers; the Puritans had a good point! These Puritans, like Moses, had a sea to cross before they would find respite in the wilderness, but London was a rising naval & trading power which required colonies, so this uneasy arrangement would stand for another 110 years, until 1776 – but independence is a double-edged sword:
"For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all
people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this
work we have undertaken, and so cause Him to withdraw His present
help from us, we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world."
– Winthrop, John. "A Model Of Christian Charity", (Famous sermon: 1630)
In 1776 the Eagle's wings were plucked from the Lion, and the King's of England would slowly lose more and more power to Parliament. Then they would lose more and more power to the money changers in the City of London, and then, finally, the Parliament would succumb fully to the City. Eventually, the United States also succumbed to the British Offshore Empire, but most Americans don't realize this, because, as they say: "Pride comes before the Fall". London is now, once again, the Financial Capital of the entire world. The City (and its Crown offshore complex) controls the lion's share of the trade in offshore finance, dark pool finance, foreign U.S. Dollar denominated paper transactions, gold and silver trading, insurance, re-insurance, most world derivatives trading, and soon they will have a new carbon trading and derivatives market to wrap the world in 'green' tape. However, they have run into heavy political competition, and as they say in TBTFville: "Competition is a sin". Dragons are good at hoarding gold, but every now and then they run into a man, or men, whose swords are not so easily sheathed. If only one could rule the world on paper alone, the smoky rooms in the City of London would already have declared Monopoly board victory, but they can't seem to take down those pesky Ruskies. The 'Kings of the East' are bearing down on a new Babylon: The Anglo-American Petro-Dollar System literally harks back to Ancient Babylon, because it requires geopolitical hydrocarbon control of the Middle-East; specifically Iraq & Syria, the epicentre of the 4 Angels bound in the Euphrates.
Returning to the effigy of the City of London which was burnt last Saturday night (September 3rd 2016), on the Thames beginning at 8PM, it should be noted that this model was overseen by David Best, the man who built – then burnt – the first ritual Temple effigy at the year 2000 Burning Man festival, in the Nevada desert, United States. It just so happens that in 2016 the Nevada Burning Man effigy was burnt on the same night of September 3rd (Burning Man effigy: VIDEO LINK), and the ritual Temple in Nevada was burnt the following night on September 4th (Temple effigy burning: VIDEO LINK). These two neo-pagan events in the U.K., and U.S., were nicely synchronized, both of them hiding under the veneer of 'art', and the London version cloaked also in the pretence of 'history'. David Best's Temple's have in the past all been hybrid styles of an original design, but the City of London model which was burnt, contained a stylized replica of Old St Paul's Cathedral. This means that the crowd was cheering and clapping for a burning Christian Church! Entertainment! In addition to the model of the City, a light-show of flames was simultaneously being projected onto the dome of the current St Pauls Cathedral whilst the City burnt below, specifically highlighting the burning of this historically important anchor for Anglo-American Protestant Christianity; symbolizing Britain's 16th century split from the Roman Pontifex Maximus (see the video above from 11:35 to 12:03 – or download the 4pg EVENT PROGRAMME HERE; see pg 3).
It should also be noted, that the Twin Towers which burnt and collapsed on September 11th 2001, were analogues for the Temple Pillars of Solomon's TEMPLE – Jachin and Boaz – from ancient Jerusalem, which were first destroyed in 587BC under orders of King of Babylon Nebuchadnezzar II, and then again in 70AD under orders of the Roman Emperor Vespasian.
An example of one of the 'art' pieces at Burning Man 2001:
NAME OF 'ARTWORK': "Toss the Cross" 'ARTIST': Tobias Ricci (2001)
DESCRIPTION: "In front of a backboard will be a large metal garbage can and ten feet in front of this will be a pile of wooden crosses. The object of the game is to toss a cross into the garbage can, where they will be burnt on the night of the burn. The inspiration for this was a conversation I had with a good friend, when after telling him about my ten years as a born-again and how the programming from that time still haunts me. He simply said, "Toss the cross". This installation is to be a catharsis for exorcism of the negative guilt based conditioning of the Judeo-Christian mind set."

If he were alive today, what would John Winthrop have to say about the progress of that 'City upon a Hill'? Perhaps he would be consoled by the fact that this city is, ironically – in tune with the temporary nature of God's grace expressed in Winthrop's famous sermon – built temporarily on a desert plain. However, the Pilgrim fathers would be none too pleased at the 'progress' of American 'liberty', which had started with such a strong commitment to endure many severe sacrifices and hardships, built on the conviction of Christian Faith. There are many people who attend Burning Man each year, who would love to burn down every last trace of the Christian Civilization built up by imperfect but visionary men like John Winthrop; men who increased this civil stock to protect future generations (like Tobias Ricci) from the overbearing Kings and Priests of Europe. Though Winthrop is considered anti-democratic by most historians, his life exemplifies the continuing struggle with the double-edged sword of 'liberty': Where does 'liberty' and 'civility' collide? One mans liberty can be another mans tyranny. Time is now short for the potential prodigal children of the desert plains, to wake up. Anyone who has been to Burning Man, which is a mixture of Mad Max meets Molech worship, will realize that amongst the throng of waifs and lost souls, a highly anti-Christian – in fact anti-Abrahamic – subset of people are attracted to these annual rituals; including occult and 'spiritual' types such as Thelemites, Satanists, and Wiccans.
…the Black Rock City Clock … keeps on turning…
(City layout plan shown behind this text, or click HERE or ARCHIVE OF YEARLY MAPS)
This annual Man & Temple burning ritual/festival takes place in a temporary and seasonal Labor Day city built on a Navada desert playa – officially called Black Rock City – which is constructed yearly in a radial road format centring on a huge Burning Man (a 'wicker man' made of wood), with the radial roads being officially labelled like the hours of a Clock Face (a 12hr clock face; ie, the Temple is always placed north-east from the Burning Man at 12:00 'noon'). Please pause and think about the significance of a radial city called BLACK ROCK CITY, which is modelled like a CLOCK! Mecca in Saudi Arabia is a city built around a ritual BLACK ROCK (a series of 'meteorite' fragments on the façade of a Black Cube called the Kaaba), but towering over the Mosque, where pilgrims circle the Kaaba ritually during Hajj season once every 12 month Lunar year, is the worlds largest CLOCK TOWER complex, built by the Saudi Binladen Group (founded by Mohammad, the father of Osama Binladen). The Black Rock City Burning Man festival occurs once each Solar year, but it is a festival for libertine debauchery, much like a Dionysian dithyramb and orgy. Burning Man is a festival of sexual license, alcohol, and drug consumption, whereas Hajj is a festival of extreme chastity, and abstinence from alcohol and drugs (a basic law in Islam); it would be hard to find two communities or rituals that are such polar opposites.
The end-of-the-age described in the Book of Revelation, is upon us. We are about to witness the Clash of Civilizations between the 'Kings of the East', and a leader of NATO from the west who is given the epithetical name 'Apollyon' ('the destroyer', personified). The leaders of the 'free world' are actually the leaders of a new technocratic world dictatorship, which represents pure slavery, and who are instituting new religious rites in plain sight which revolve around fire worship (ie, Olympic Games & Burning Man, etc.), and ironically, Carbon Indulgences (CARBON: 6-Protons; 6-Neutrons; 6-Electrons … thus, the 666 element of ALL carnal and organic life). This post will document certain ritual aspects of the London's Burning and Burning Man/Temple rituals, including the esoteric aspects of Black Rock City, the two ritual naval ships placed on the Thames called HQS Wellington and HMS President, and a possible human sacrifice (burnt offering) which took place at the 2001 Burning Man rituals directly before the September 11th 2001 Twin Temple Pillars were burnt down, immolating 1000's of human victims.
"…the merchants of the earth shall
weep and mourn over her; for no man
buyeth their merchandise any more…"
― Revelation 18:11. A future city of trade, destroyed.

FUTURE FORCES Exhibition & Conference 2014 (FF14) is a highly recognised international event in defence and security field organised biennially in Prague under the auspices and supported by the Czech Ministry of Defence and Chief of Defence, civil and military parts of the NATO HQ, EDA, EUROPOL, FBI, FSMTC, European GNSS Agency, CAA, AFCEA, EMPA, and other national and international institutions.
The philosophy behind FF14 continues to remain true to the Exhibition's origins and in compliance with the principal objectives and actual core tasks of the Alliance and its Partners across the globe, namely the Connected Forces Initiative, Smart Defence, future potential crises and lessons learned from the latest operations. Exhibitors and visitors will thus still be able to become a part of what has always made this Exhibition so unique - the atmosphere of trade, information exchange and the forging of relationships. From workshops, live demonstrations and panel discussions on what Armed and Security Forces need today, to one-to-one talks with civil and military experts at international levels on the demands of tomorrow, the Exhibition is geared around people being able to meet with each other and develop business.
The FF14 will host a wide range of exhibitors, who will have the unique networking opportunity to present their state of the art or future technologies and solutions to the relevant participants, and to acquaint them with their capabilities. The experts will give the exhibitors insight into the acquisition programmes, latest standardisation and quality requirements.
The FF14 is a unique show that brings together industry, military and civil experts. All workshops are tailored to ensure relevant experts' and industry-focused experience. Furthermore, every session is chosen for its value and ability to advance the professional development of each attendee. Members of military research and development, logistics and acquisition organizations are also on hand to share their experience with you.
The 10th anniversary of the international fair Future Soldier Exhibition & Conference (FSEC), which was held in Prague on 17-19 October 2012 under the auspices of the Minister of Defence of the Czech Republic, Defence & Security Association (DSIA), AFCEA and many other organisations, and supported by NATO HQ, NSA, NSPA, NCIA, NATO MILMED COE, NATO JCBRN Defence COE, EDA, EUROPOL, or European GNSS Agency, has become a major international event representing the latest technologies in the defence and security field.
This year, the main goal was to support the Czech defence and security industry and the Alliance's main tasks, such as cyber defence, counter-terrorism and organised crime fight, smuggling and human trafficking, protection of critical infrastructure, soldiers' protection, combat training or monitoring of a large area. Another very important goal was the active cooperation with Allies and partners, international organizations (EU, UN, OSCE, etc.), private sector, academia, and potential investors.
2012 was the 10th jubilee of this event which greatly contributed to information and knowledge exchange between the NATO countries and their Allies on the current trends and needs in the area of modern defence. FSEC 2012 followed the conclusions of the 2002 Prague Summit, where Cyber Defence was mentioned for the first time and consequently integrated into the Alliance's agenda. The current development in the field of Cyber Defence and Smart Defence requires our utmost attention.
The fair was accompanied by a number of significant events, such as the congress of the European Military Press Association (EMPA), regular NATO LCG Land Engagement working group meeting and international conference "Future of Cyber Security and Defence" organised under the auspices of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association (AFCEA). The conference was primarily focused on the new trends in the field of information and communication technology, security of public sector network, defence and security forces' networks, cooperation between academia and the private sector, and many more current topics that were raised during the discussion panels.
FSEC boasted a great reputation in the international defence and security community since its inception. It has so far attracted many high ranking officers not only from the NATO HQ, but also the NATO, PfP, Mediterranean Dialogue and Istanbul Cooperation Initiative member countries and partners. The fair was visited by a total of 60 official delegations from more than 45 countries. Official delegations consisted of representatives of the political, as well as, professional military community.
Organizers of the FSEC 2012 contributed to the individual meetings of private sector representatives with the Ministries of Defence and Armed Forces' leaders in the form of round table dialogues, panel discussions and company presentations. These meetings and presentations significantly contributed to establish or deepen the business relations of all participants.
Year 2014 will follow the concept of focus on the latest trends in modern defence and security and will offer all participants a much deeper and modern approach to achieve their needs. Year 2014 will be a tailor-made event fully supporting the B2B activities and interaction between the public and private sector.

Couple Travels Across Ocean to Have Baby at LMC
When Richard and Jennifer Sanders were thinking about having a second baby, they knew they wanted to welcome the child into the world at Lexington Medical Center. But unlike other parents-to-be, their trip to the hospital was thousands of miles long and an ocean away.
Richard and Jennifer are missionaries in Moldova, a former Soviet Republic located between the Ukraine and Romania. They work with people in villages to build churches and spread the Gospel. The couple has been in Moldova for the past two years. And, according to Jennifer, they planned their entire second pregnancy around when they would be back in Lexington on a six month furlough so that they could have their second child at Lexington Medical Center.
"We wanted to be here at Lexington Medical Center," Richard said. "It's a combination – great doctors – an awesome hospital."
Their love of the hospital began in February, 2006, when they had their first baby, Kaitlyn Grace, at Lexington Medical Center, shortly before they began their mission in Moldova. Both Richard and Jennifer had lived in the Columbia area since studying at Columbia International University Seminary.
"Every person in the hospital exuded excellence in what they do and respect for us," Jennifer said. "They're joyful people to be around."
The couple especially loved LMC's innovative Doula program, which offers patients a personal birth coach to provide comfort, reassurance and pain management assistance while in labor. It's the first program of its kind in the Southeast.
"For me, that was the highlight," Richard said. "The doula allowed us to accomplish our goals of having a natural birth."
The couple also said their baby's nurse was like a mother. "She took it personally," they said.
Early this year in Moldova, they couple's plans to have a second child at LMC began to take shape. They were able to time a pregnancy and impending delivery for when they would be home on the furlough.
It all worked seamlessly. The couple welcomed a son, Caleb, at Lexington Medical Center at 11:45pm on November, 2nd: 7 pounds 11 ounces, 20.5 inches long.
According to Jennifer, "Everything about Lexington has been a positive experience for us."
Richard, Jennifer, Kaitlyn and Caleb will live in a mission house in Lexington until March, when they return to Moldova.
The couple might have more children. With a chuckle, they talked about making sure they were home again to welcome Baby #3 at LMC, too.

The city's yet new, but weekend nature escapes feel just right. This time, amiga Maite invites me to el Delta del Ebro, Ebre en Catalan.
I have (very) vague memories of Histories of Spain 365 with Chris. There was some mention that the Peninsula was drier than you might expect, and I'm sure there was a quiz question about the major rivers that I missed. I do remember the name Ebro, though. The etymology of Iberian derives from it.
Where fresh meets salt, the shallowest of islands are swallowed up in seagulls. The short cruise we take doesn't swing by close enough for a proper shot of the birds, but I'm pretty sure I note a faint "Mine? Mine?" in the humid air anyway.
Post-boat, we head to Casa de Fusta, an institution in the Delta since 1926. The whole area is covered in swampy rice fields; the grains here are so renowned they actually carry their own D.O.P. to ensure the enthusiast of quality.
We split the menú de desgustación plus a few extra special entrantes between the table. The menú is a wide amalgamation of goodies from the sea, including brandada de bacalao, cigalas y sepia con cebolla y patatas, y arroz caldoso con rape y langostinos.
I've been promised that one may enjoy ortiguillas rebozadas – fried anemone – in this area, and so request it. They're the mysterious breaded gooballs pictured above. Ñam!
The terrain here is so flat that people build lookout points to be able to take a proper survey. There are 316 species of birds that make the Delta their home. Elongated necks and beaks can be seen picking about the fields from up here for kilometers.
Post-rice feast, we take a much needed long walk on Playa de la Marquesa.
Sea to one side, rice to the other, and this tiny strip of sand in between.
Weekends are just so much longer this way.

Extra security added ahead of Corporate 5K
Extra security measures are being put into place ahead of Thursday's IOA Corporate 5K.
Police will have officers stationed around Lake Eola Park, both in plain clothes and in uniform. Event organizers said they expected at least 70 officers to be on hand.
Officers will also close Eola Drive and other streets surrounding the park.
"We feel, and the city feels, very secure," event organizer Jon Hughes said.
Organizers expect about 15,000 people to attend the event Thursday night.
Hughes said the tragic events at the Boston Marathon highlight the need for everyone to help with event security.
"I think every body realizes the situation we're in right now, that's why we're saying, 'Don't leave bags unattended.' And again, we all need to have a heightened sense of awareness, as well," Hughes said.
Event attendees were being urged not to bring bags or coolers to the event.

But actually the days of judgment are not quite over.
According to tradition, as stated in the Zohar (3:31b): "This [Hoshana Rabbah] is the final day of judgment for water, source of all blessings. On the seventh day of Sukkot the judgment of the world is finalized and the edicts are sent forth from the King."
The days of judgment are not, it seems, truly over until the seventh day of Sukkot, which is why the tashlich ceremony may be performed until Hoshana Rabbah. What is the connection?
On Rosh Hashana, God determines the fate and fortune of both individuals and communities for the year to come, including exactly how much one will earn in the coming year. Material endowments are one form of sustenance. On the holiday of Sukkot, however, God determines the world's water allotment for the year to come.
Since God is still sitting in His heavenly courtroom deciding the fate of the world, there is time to slip in a final appeal or to do an extra act of kindness in the hope of altering the scales of justice in one's favor.
On Hoshana Rabba, extra hakafot (circles around thebimah) are added to the service, as well as the beating of the willows (see above). In some communities, it is customary to stay up all night studying Torah. Additionally, many people eat a light, festive meal in the afternoon.

(67% dark & bitter, 67% working class, 100% genuine)
Okay, we all know Guinness is the best possible score on any "What Kind Of Beer Are You" test, so you can just go on and pat yourself on the back now. Like the world's most famous brew, you're genuine, you've got good taste, and you're sophisticated. What else can I say, except congratulations?
If your friends didn't score the same way, get ready for them to say: Guinness is too heavy; it's an acquired taste; it's too serious--and they probably think those things about you at times. But just brush 'em off. Everybody knows Guinness is the best. Cheers.
HA! I'm so cool.

There is an old saying that we live in a small world. It turns out that this is true for the Mozilla community as well — and definitely in that same good way!
Matjaž Horvat is a perfect example: I've seen the guy at various Mozilla events such as MozCamp Barcelona, MozCamp Prague, and the Mozilla Summit in Whistler, and I've always admired his great taste of fashion.
But it wasn't until today during a chat with him about how we could kickstart Slovenian SUMO localization that I finally realized it: this guy with the same unbelievably stylish Diesel sneakers as I was wearing in Barcelona actually worked with me on Firebird Help way back in 2003! Indeed, Matjaž was the Slovenian translator of the site, and his excellent work is still up for public viewing in the Internet Archive — only with a little bit less style.
Just for the record, Matjaž reminded me today that we actually talked about this in Whistler, and I apparently managed to completely forget that… Not sure what to say in defense other than the fact that I've never met as many new faces before as I did in Whistler.
Sometimes the Mozilla community is just so cool. Or as Matjaž said during our chat: "it's amazing how good this community feels!"
I can't wait to work with you on Firefox support again, Matjaž!

Wooden Shjips - Back To Land (CD, LP [green vinyl w/bonus 7"])
Wooden Shjips have always been one of the coolest psych-rock bands on the block, one that gives a good name to the concept of jam bands. But their latest, the aptly named Back to Land, reins in some of the jams in favor of more concrete songs. It's a bold move, as the band has relocated to Portland from SF and seems to have re-energized the band, but it's a move that likely won't upset their fans. Songs like the great title track still are allowed to drift past the five-minute mark, utilizing simple, repeated chord structures built on fuzz guitar and organ drone, encircling the proceedings with tasteful improvisation, while frontman Ripley Johnsaon's Alan Vega-esque drawl fades in and out, directing things like a super chill camp counselor. While the songs lengths may be shorter, there's no shortage of variety on Back to Land, making room for fuzzy Velvets-style ballads like "These Shadows" and the kind of driving, power-chord romp they do so well on songs like "Other Stars." Wooden Shjips may pick up a few more seafairers with the friendlier Back to Land, but there's plenty to like for longtime fans as well. Dock up and listen.

Florida biotech hiring in Carlsbad
Banyan Biomarkers couldn't find enough skilled employees to develop its disease diagnostic products in its Gainesville, Fla., headquarters. So it's hiring them in Carlsbad.
"The balance of the company is shifting from Gainesville to Carlsbad," said Henry "Hank" Nordhoff, Banyan Biomarkers' executive chairman, who works from San Diego. "We are adding people as we speak."
About 12 people now work in Banyan's Carlsbad office on Loker Avenue West, said Jackson Streeter, Banyan's CEO, who lives in Gainesville. An additional 20 to 25 employees are expected to join them over the next 12 to 18 months, he said. The company has 35 workers in Gainesville.
Banyan is conducting a pivotal clinical trial of a test to detect signs of traumatic brain injuries, Streeter said. It is also researching tests for stroke, Parkinson's disease, depression and liver disease. The brain injury test is being conducted with 2,000 patients. Banyan is also conducting a clinical trial of sports-induced concussions in college students.
Research will remain in Gainesville, because the company is working with the University of Florida, said Nordhoff, former president and CEO of San Diego-based Gen-Probe. But San Diego's expertise in the business side of diagnostics is hard to beat.
"There's no diagnostics industry in Gainesville," Nordhoff said. "Because there's no R&D (research and development) in terms of developing assays, we came to Carlsbad."
Nordhoff's willingness to hire thousands of miles away from his company's headquarters — and his own continued residence in San Diego — attests to the strong draw San Diego County exerts on biotech and medical device companies.
Streeter said that when Banyan moved beyond research into product development, San Diego's highly developed "ecosystem for diagnostics" became attractive. Streeter knows the county from his years as a biomedical executive at Carlsbad-based PhotoThera.
Other states, especially Texas, have long tried to lure biomedical companies from San Diego, but they don't have the region's advantages for innovation, Nordhoff said. The pool of qualified research and development specialists is deeper in San Diego.
But that advantage doesn't apply to manufacturing, Nordhoff said. It's easier to train employees for such jobs, he said, and cost becomes more important. So when Banyan Biomarkers sets up manufacturing, it won't be in California.
High taxes and the difficulty in getting regulatory permits for expansion and other purposes make manufacturing unattractive in California, Nordhoff said.
"There's a lot of manufacturing talent in any place," he said. "If I were to manufacture today, and it was going to be a big operation, I'd definitely wouldn't start any new company in California, if other companies had the sort of expertise that I needed outside. And Texas would be one of the places I'd look, because I know the governor, and the governor is very influential, and it's a good business climate."
What San Diego offers is a business culture of "informal intensity," combined with good people, Nordhoff said.
"There's an awful lot of intellectual capital in San Diego, with the Burnham (Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute), I sit on that board and that of the Preuss School, coming up with innovations in education. But there's an informality and unpretentiousness about San Diego. People will welcome you to these various boards, and you can have an impact almost immediately. And the climate is not bad, but basically it's the people."

Hotels in Cologne

Top landmarks in Cologne
Find out more about Cologne
Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany and probably one of the oldest ones as well. Founded in the first century A.D., it was the capital of Germania Inferior, a Roman Province, until it was occupied by the Franks in 462. The city served as an important trade route during the Middle Ages and went through heavy bombing from the Royal Air Force during the Second World War. An extensive rebuilding project followed after the war, giving the city both a historic and modern feel. Today the city has much to offer the would-be visitor. Hotels.com has an extensive listing of Cologne hotels that the traveler can consider. Because Cologne is such a large city, it can be difficult to choose a good hotel, but Hotels.com solves that problem by having an extensive listing of hotels in Cologne. With Hotels.com's excellent guest-rating system, visitors need not be concerned about booking a poor hotel. Hotels.com has a generous amount of interior photos of each hotel, which gives travelers a great preview of the rooms.
What's Cologne Like?
Cologne is an impressive city. The Hahnentorburg Gate was constructed between 1235 and 1240, and was originally meant for defensive purposes. The landmark has undergone a number of incarnations, serving at various times as a jail, exposition hall, and a museum. Since 1988, it has been owned by a carnival society. Visitors might also be interested in the Cologne Cathedral, which is Germany's most visited landmark, attracting around 20,000 visitors a day. Construction on the cathedral was begun in the late 1200s and went through a variety of budget setbacks throughout the next two centuries, leaving it incomplete in the 15th century. The famous landmark was finally completed in 1880. Visitors will be interested to know that this cathedral has the second tallest set of spires in the world. For the visitor who is looking for a more "out of the box" experience, the Imhoff Chocolate Museum is located in Cologne and chronicles the history of chocolate - "the food of the Gods" - from the Mayas to the Olmecs and also covers many of the modern-day production methods. There is a large chocolate fountain, and yes, visitors are free to get a taste!
Tips for Getting Along with Locals in Cologne Hotels
When visiting Cologne, it is important to know something about German culture. Germans tend to be very formal and can appear very reserved at first. Be sure to pick up a German phrasebook if your German skills are not up to speed, although most people speak at least some basic English. Most Cologne hotels will have maps available for you. Germans love their beer, and this is also true in Cologne. If you go to a brewery or restaurant and order beer, make you cover your beer glass if you do not want more, otherwise the waiter may automatically bring you another Koelsch - the local beer. As with any large tourist city, there is a small amount of crime, so watch out for pickpockets while you are exploring. In Cologne, there are only a few areas that are devoted to non-smoking. Moreover, Cologne is notorious for not having a very large amount of public toilets. Although you can use the bathroom in any restaurant or bar, you should be prepared to pay for the privilege if you are not patronizing the bar or restaurant.

Once you survive the newborn months of baby not sleeping through the night because of the reality that they are babies who need to eat every two to three hours, you see this beacon of sleep light in the toddler years. But sometimes that doesn't happen either. There are the wake-ups and the crawling into bed with you or even you ending up squished into the princess-themed twin sheets along with your child and 47 favorite stuffed animals, feet cold from dangling off the end, arm asleep from lying on it, and not wanting to move for fear of waking your child who finally snoozed. Why is this happening, you wonder? This no sleep business. Why can't my child sleep through the night?
The answer has everything to do with technology.
When our kids sleep less it's not good for them -- they need sleep to grow in body and mind. It's also terrible for us, as parents. We need sleep BECAUSE WE. NEED. SLEEP! I speak for myself when I tell you that if I don't get enough sleep, I am a miserable, headachey, awful human being. But what we subject our kids to, as well as ourselves, truly affects how we sleep -- or if we get any shut-eye at all. A study in Pediatrics looked at the lives of kids from 5 to 18, particularly what their bedtime routine was and how they spent the hour and a half before bed. There was a trend for those who didn't sleep well and I feel it can translate to not only our younger kids, but us as adults as well. Here are the reasons your kid isn't sleeping through the night.
More from Cafemom: Video Games Won't Hurt Kids' Sleep
1. The TV. Those who wouldn't fall asleep at the proper "bedtime" watched 13 more minutes of TV than those who went to bed earlier. The more time kids spend in front of the TV in a day, the harder it was for them to snooze at night.
2. Video games. Same effect as TV, even if we don't want to think of it as television.
3. The Internet. This seems to go for all those electronic books, too. We have to go old school when it comes to wind-down time.
4. The TV. Yes, again. It must be stressed and I know I'm making some changes in my own household as a result of this. The TV screen and its lighting seems to act as a wake-up call. Louise Foley, one of the researchers of this study, said, "There is a suggestion that TV affects sleep hormones because screens emit blue light and that could delay sleep onset."
(Note to self: Stop Pinteresting before bed.)
Of course there is no magic amount of time we should allow our kids in front of the TV, computer screen, or hand-held video game device. All kids are different -- this is a study and there are always exceptions. My niece seems to need the TV to fall asleep. But if this helps any family get more zzz's by turning off the TV sooner, then this information is a total win. This goes for babies, toddler, big kids, and adults.
Do you think TV and electronics affect your child's sleep? Do you allow them to watch TV before bed?

The Razorbill is the emblem of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, although its first cousin the guillemot could well have been chosen as they are both known as 'elegugs' in the distinctive south Pembrokeshire dialect.
It was at an early Park Authority committee meeting in the 1960s that the candidates' photographs were paraded before members. They included the clown-faced puffin, the guillemot and the razorbill - all members of the auk (Alcidae) family, the puffin seemingly a strong candidate with its colourful triangular beak, large orange feet and DJ-clad waiter costume.
The casting vote went to the chairman, Alderman Tom Scourfield of Carew, a south Pembrokeshire man with a strong and melodious local accent, who said he preferred the 'elegug' and pointed to the razorbill. So the razorbill it was, and still is. Where the name 'elegug' comes from no-one seems to know. It was thought to have been a Viking word, but the present-day Norse name for an auk is Alk or Alka, so that theory goes out of the window.
The Razorbill lays its single egg per season and rears its lone chick on a rocky ledge on a mainland cliff or island, amid the chaotic maelstrom of competing auks. It looks like the most inhospitable and dangerous situation possible but the razorbill, like the guillemot, lays a cone-shaped egg, which, if knocked or pushed, simply spins in a tight circle and with luck does not fall off the ledge. It lays a very large egg, said to be equivalent to a human baby weighing 18 to 20lbs, and the shell has an interesting individual variation in patterning, believed to be an aid to identification on the crowded nesting ledge. The razorbill's territory on the ledge could not be more restricted. It amounts to the diameter of twice a beak length, or the distance required to peck the nearest neighbour to protect the breeding space. Few birds live such restricted lives.
The British summer population is estimated at about 110,000 pairs and the European population around 430,000 to 760,000 pairs. There are thousands on the Pembrokeshire islands and on some of the stacks offshore, one of which off the Castlemartin peninsula, is known as 'elegug' stack for it is crowded with auks during the breeding season. The largest colonies of razorbills are in the north of Scotland, but they are quite numerous on Skomer and Skokholm where visitors on the boat taking them to the islands from Martin's Haven will see them floating in large rafts with other auks under the cliffs. When seen in close up their graceful beauty is appreciated, their black upper plumage glossy and their white breasts and underparts pristine. Like the guillemot, the razorbill dives from the surface to catch its food of small fish, squid and sand-eels and it can go down as deep as 60-metres. Its future is under threat from fishing nets, declining fish stocks and pollution, but happily it survives.
