Defining an exit strategy for GlobWetland II Project
Last week, Paul Ouédraogo, Senior Advisor for Africa at the Ramsar Secretariat, attended the GlobWetland II (GW-II) second user workshop held in Jena, Germany. GW-II was launched in January 2010 as a regional pilot project of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands. During the last three years, based on requests from the Contracting Parties (Ramsar member states) involved, the GW-II project team developed the GW-II Software Toolbox for a satellite-based end-to-end wetland monitoring system.
Together with the project team, the Contracting Parties have been operating the system and have produced 1,800 wetland maps and indicators for 200 wetlands, equally distributed along ten countries in the southern Mediterranean basin. The GW-II Software Toolbox has been generously delivered free of charge, together with some capacity building to the Contracting Parties.
The purpose of the second GW-II user workshop was to summarize the results and findings of the GW-II project, to assess the usability of the GW-II toolbox, to review the value of the maps and indicators and to share some first ideas on how to pursue the established partnership.
The Ramsar Secretariat proposed an exit strategy to this phase of GlobWetlands that includes: actions to be done during the workshop and actions to be implemented after the workshop. The participants agreed to hold a final capacity building workshop in order to solve some technical problems related to the use of the GW-II toolbox.

Stephen A
Very knowledgable guide who was history prof at local university. Learned lots and a good overview
Our tour guard (Tim) was great. He was very knowledgable about the city and knew interesting facts about each sight. He was able to answer all of our questionsFYI...the tour does not go inside Independence Hall (you need separate tickets for that. They are free and obtained at the visitor center)
Great tour!!! Knowledgeable and friendly guide.
My husband and I took this tour. We were impressed with the professional guide. He was very knowledgeable and had great voice that could be easily understood. 10 in our group that was easy to get around. I was afraid it would be a large group and couldn't hear. 1 -1/2 hr. was perfect.
Great overall view of historical sites.
History of Benjamin Franklin who knew
Awesome tour! Our guide Jason was extremely knowledgeable and answered any and all questions from our group. You can tell he is very passionate about History and the city of Philadelphia. We learned a lot, saw a lot, even got a tip on where to get lunch and recommendation to check out the Barnes Foundation.
Our guide was very personable and knowledgeable. He did a great job of explaining the sights along the way at a pace that kept us moving and yet allowed for time to take photos and explore what we were seeing. I especially liked his use of quotes from relevant Founding Fathers. We all enjoyed the tour very much.
Our tour guide was so extremely knowledgable and just a joy to be around. I would recommend this to anyone that is planning to see the sights in Philly.
I highly recommend this tour, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We only had the morning in Philadelphia and wanted to see as much as possible of this beautiful historical city.
We arrived in good time for our tour and our guide was waiting, we waited for other people who never turned up. We headed off the two of us and our brilliant guide, great fun and laughs were had.
Try it, it's great.
Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and helpful.
Our tour guide, Benjamin was very knowledgable and had a great sense of humor! Excellent tour!
Finding the right spot for meeting our guide was a small challenge, one resolved with a quick phone call and then a hookup with the nicest guy Julian our guide. We where extremely lucky to have all of Julian's time as we where his only guests. He showed and explained many sites around Phillies historical area. Julian made 'old' Philly come to life.
A great tour and experience thanks Julian.
Excellent guide who gave us the perfect overview of the various historic sites so that we could go back later and spend time at the places that most interested us. We enjoyed learning not only about the sites, but the people who were a part of that history and the more recent creation (and surrounding controversy) of the national park grounds where most of the buildings sit. I highly recommend this tour.
Excellent. Ben wasn't just informative, he made it fun and interesting for my neanderthal 8-year old. Many thanks!

Bradley leads cross country team to a win
Published on Thu, Sep 13, 2012 by
Russell Paris
Read More
Wednesday, September 5 was an ideal day for running cross country – 65 degrees and partially sunny.
Blaine high school senior Tom Bradley led runners with a winning time of 16 minutes, 49 seconds over the 5,000 meter (3.1 mile) course at Peace Arch Park.
"I was not surprised with Bradley's performance," said Carey Bacon, Blaine's cross country coach of 14 years. "He has trained really hard this summer to get his running miles in and his base down. He showed up in excellent shape."
Bradley ran a nice, disciplined pace then showed his athletic prowess by using a strong 200-meter kick at the finish to beat Dillon Quintana of Mt. Baker High School.
The boys took the overall win with strong showings from David Shapiro and Danny Thorpe, who finished sixth and eighth respectively among 37 runners. Nick Butschli and Alex Dodge made up the rest of Blaine's winning varsity boys team.
Blaine's boys have built a strong team by getting some of the spring athletes from the soccer team to turn out for cross country. They are hoping it will build endurance for their sport. Zach Rector and Chad Reimer also competed, helping the Borderites beat Nooksack, Mt. Baker and Lynden Christian. It was a competitive meet with only six points separating Blaine's winning team score and fourth-place Lynden.
"I was really proud of the whole team's performance, as Peace Arch Park is a hard course to run," Bacon said. "Because it is flat terrain it is easy to build up speed and then turn an ankle in the soft grassy holes or the hardpan bare spots."
On the girls' side, Hillary Kiele finished seventh with a time of 23 minutes, 10 seconds, and Hannah Kean finished 13th in a field of about three dozen young women.
"We are small in the number of girl runners who turned out, but those who did showed perseverance," Bacon said. "Kiele is a warrier – she is still recovering from a foot stress fracture. Those are very painful to run on, and I am amazed that she did so well not being able to train properly this summer while injured."
Special kudos go to Bacon, who set up guide cones on the three-mile Peace Arch course at 1 p.m. only to return at 3:30 p.m. with his team to find a wedding being performed on part of the course. Bacon had to run far and fast to make the last-minute course corrections.

There are no products for the condition you selected. Please make another selection.
This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and returned to us in
virtually new condition, however its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory. Also, it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. If you're looking
for a virtually new instrument in possibly less-than-perfect packaging, this is
a great value. We feel so strongly you'll like what you see, we're including our
60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories, to this used product making it a no-risk purchase.
Very Good: This instrument or product has been carefully played/used and shows few,
minor signs of use. In most respects it looks and performs like new and may be considered
equivalent to display units found in retail stores. Its packaging may not meet the
standards set by the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty.
Condition 2 products are a terrific value and you can buy with confidence knowing
our 60-Day Satisfaction Guarantee on instruments and 30 days on accessories applies to this used product.
This instrument or product is in good working condition but has one or more cosmetic
flaws beyond those of a Condition 2 product. These flaws are typical of an instrument
or product that's seen normal wear and tear, including incidental scratches, chips,
dings, dents or other imperfections. It performs just as well as a Condition 1 or
Condition 2 instrument/product. Its packaging may not meet the standards set by
the factory and it no longer carries the manufacturer's warranty. Condition 3 is

Line 6 Relay G90 Rackmount Digital Wireless Guitar SystemThe Line 6 Relay G90 digital wireless system provides a pure signal so guitars get a beautiful high-end sparkle and basses get a thunderous low-end punch, even at distances of up to 300 feet. The signal's clarity rivals that of the highest-quality guitar cables. Unlike traditional wireless systems, this system offers superior sound with full bandwidth and zero compression. Not only does the Relay G90 wireless system sounds just you're using a direct cable, but it can also sound just like the cable you would normally use. It features EQ settings to match the frequency response of your guitar cable so you can switch between the Relay G90 and your cable without having to change the settings on your sound amp. Different players use different cables, but all players can use Line 6 Relay G90.Professional DependabilityThe Relay G90 wireless mic system broadcasts its robust signal over the 2.4GHz band. This keeps the signal free from many kinds of interference. For added security, it employs exclusive signal protection technology. Each of its channels broadcasts an encrypted data over four different frequencies simultaneously. Traditional wireless mic systems, on the other hand, broadcast over congested UHF bands, so their signals can be susceptible to interference generated as far away as 100 miles or more.Refreshing SimplicityThe Relay G90 is easy to use. Bright LCDs and LEDs on the transmitter and receiver display all critical system functions including power, status, channel number, battery life, and more. Plus, it finds open channels right out of the box.The wireless instrument system includes transmitter, 1RU rack-mountable receiver, and all necessary accessories including antennas, guitar cable, power supply, and batteries.

Nokia Officially Ports Qt to Maemo 5
The Finnish mobile phone giant Nokia has announced an official port of Qt to the Maemo 5 Linux platform.
The Maemo 5 operating system is the basis for Nokia's new N900 Internet tablet. The biggest enhancement over its predecessors is the integrated mobile wireless functionality in addition to WLAN. So far a technology preview of the port is available. The Qt Developer Days in the upcoming weeks should present the occasion of a beta version of the Qt 4.6 port to Maemo, which should give Nokia enough time with its release of Qt 4.6 in the first quarter of 2010.
According to Nokia, the results of the "Qt for Maemo" community projects contributed to the porting endeavor. Nokia is justifying the step from a community-based port to the official Nokia version with its need to implement compliance with upcoming versions of Qt, Maemo, Symbian and other Qt-compatible platforms.
Nokia refers interested developers to the Gitorious repository, and those wanting to examine Qt 4.6 to the Qt website. The technology preview has its own download site.

Some of you may remember last year Adam posted a thread asking who would be the "most surprising" Chief for the upcoming 2008 year. I said it would be our third string QB Tyler Thigpen. I simply had a hunch that Croyle would not last the first two games, and since Herm Edwards wanted to go younger he would put Tyler Thigpen in even though Huard was the second string QB. I was right. I point this out not to brag (although it is nice), but to make the following prediction:
Like Croyle, Mark Bradley is also injury prone and cannot be counted on to be our second receiver. Do not get me wrong. I like Mark Bradley. I think he is a very good receiver. When he came to the Chiefs, we could all see he added a spark to the offense. When he threw that TD to Tyler last year, I jumped out of my seat and screamed like a little kid. When was the last time you saw KC run a play like that? But, Chicago, who is receiver starved, let him go for apparently one reason. He cannot be counted on. Want proof? All you have to do is look at the stats to prove this point.
In 2005 after being drafted in the second round by Chicago, he played in 7 games, starting 4 with 230 yards on 18 receptions with 0 TDs. In 2006 with Chicago, he played 10 games, starting 0 with 282 yards on 14 receptions with 3 TDs. (One TD was a 75 yarder). In 2007 with Chicago, he played in 15 games, starting zero with 71 yards on 6 receptions with one TD (a 49 yarder). In 2008 with Chicago he played in two games with no statistics, he later went to KC playing in 10 games starting 8 with 380 yards on 30 receptions with 3 TDS.
In college he finished his collegiate career at Oklahoma (2002-04) after playing 2 seasons at Arkansas-Pine Bluff (2000-01). He switched to cornerback to fill a team need during practice; then moved back to WR just prior to the start of 2003 season He started 10 career games, catching 58 passes for 1,114 yards (19.7 avg.) while adding 22 kickoff returns for 523 yards (23.8 avg.) with 1 TD. He then transferred to Oklahoma after tearing his ACL as a sophomore at Arkansas-Pine Bluff.
Although Mr. Bradley flashes talent, his durability should be a major concern for the Chiefs, especially since our third wide receiver, Bobby Engram is 36 years old and Tony Gonzalez has left the building.
Speaking of which, Bobby Engram might do and say all the right things, he might even play and practice the right way, but at 36 years old the wheels are starting to come off. I too would be shocked if he played all 16 games (Out of 13 seasons Bobby only played 16 games 6 times).
Even though Bradley and Engram are truly talented enough to play the second and third receiver roles, history tells us that they are accidents waiting to happen. We simply have to bring in more depth and more competition at wide receiver. My hope is that a veteran wide receiver not over the age of 30 and not injury prone comes available before or during training camp. We cannot risk it. We cannot afford to have history repeat itself.
Who should be brought in? Who will become available? Sound off Addicts.

By Dhanya Skariachan
(Reuters) - OfficeMax Inc
The retailer, which is awaiting regulatory approval for its proposed merger with larger rival Office Depot Inc
The news comes during the back-to-school season, the most important period of the year for OfficeMax.
"We believe the departure of Mr. Besanko could create some confusion and distraction for OfficeMax at a time when the company is undergoing a planning process for the pending merger with Office Depot and is in the midst of its busiest selling season," Citi analyst Kate McShane wrote in a note to clients.
OfficeMax shares were down 1 percent at $11.58 on the New York Stock Exchange.
In a statement on Wednesday, OfficeMax said Besanko's last day at the company would be August 6. Besanko, who has been CFO since 2009, was also leading the merger integration planning process with Mike Newman, his counterpart at Office Depot.
Effective immediately, Steve Parsons, OfficeMax executive vice president and chief human resources officer, will take over that role in the integration process.

If the Clean IT Project goes through, the government will have the right to remove any content they say is aiding terrorists off the web.
This is exactly like SOPA and PIPA except instead of being called a thief they will be calling you a terrorist.
Out of what I read this is what I believe it is stating:
- If you are seen as a threat to the government they will allowed to completely take away your internet access.
- It will also ruin the anonymity of the web, making you provide all your information to your web provider.
- They will also require the web providers to monitor your movements and what content you access, meaning anyone who pirates will likely be caught.
- They also wish to reduce the time needed to remove content off the web.
- It will require Internet companies to teach their moderators an extensive amount about how to take down illegal content.
- They will be creating specialized officers for patrolling social media.
- It will restrict the domain names one can use and will delete sites of questionable domain names.
- It will block civil servants access to said domains.
- It will blame web providers for their users actions, thereby making what you do more likely to be monitored and or far easier to be kicked from their services.
- It will monitor the keywords you search for, which is being done today, however these keywords will be sorted by the government rather than the companies.
- For young adults it will allow your parents to filter content you are allowed to see, which although is done today, will be much cheaper and easier to do if it goes through.
- All sites with social media and chat rooms will be required to have a flag button or similar implements meaning an argument could lead to someone falsely flagging a person.
- If you falsely flag a person it will be treated as a false 911 call.
I would list more but this is already lengthy enough. One thing I noticed while reading this was that there was much contradictory information. As my last point was referenced at the beginning, right after that they said the person who reported it must be able to remain anonymous. Which either means that they will log your IP but will not ask information, meaning if someone is using your IP you could be charged with the crime rather than them. However, that is just me speculating on what that contradiction means.

The most common domestic noise problems are caused by loud music or television, barking dogs, shouting, banging doors and DIY activities. If noise is causing regular and unreasonable disturbance to you at home, it may amount to a statutory nuisance.
More information and advice on noise nuisance is available in the following pdf document.
Noise Leaflet (pdf 164kb opens in new window)
Firstly, you should try resolving your complaint by talking to your neighbour to make them aware of the problem. An informal approach is usually preferable, as involving the council can sometimes damage relations with your neighbours. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to them directly at first, we have provided an example template letter which you can amend for your situation.

Read more about barking dogs, and how to report them to the council.

The following pdf documents are available to give guidance and advice on how to minimise noise disturbance to neighbours.

Alarms should be fitted with an automatic cut-off device, so that they stop ringing after 20 minutes. However, they can often misfire and are a common cause of noise complaints.
It is a good idea to make sure that a neighbour or someone close by has access to your property and can deactivate the alarm (ie. a keyholder) in the event your alarm misfires while you are away. This will avoid the need for the council to take formal action to silence an alarm if it is causing a statutory noise nuisance. In such cases the council can recharge the cost incurred to the homeowner.
You can register keyholder details online (opens in new window), so that we can contact them if you are not available, should we receive a complaint about your alarm misfiring. You do not need to tell us the deactivation code, or provide a key, just the details of someone who has them.
If officers determine that the noise complained of is a statutory nuisance and the person responsible has not responded to us then legal action will be taken against him/her or the company concerned. This will be in the form of an Abatement Notice requiring the nuisance to be abated within a specified time period. It is a criminal offence not to comply with an Abatement Notice, and anyone found guilty can be prosecuted and fined.
Additionally, the council has powers to obtain a warrant and seize noise making equipment eg. music systems and TVs when other action fails to resolve a nuisance. Works in default may also be carried out to abate a nuisance, particularly in cases such as misfiring alarms where a key-holder cannot be traced. All costs incurred while undertaking works in default will be reclaimed from the person upon whom the notice was served.
You can view a copy of the council's enforcement policy.
The same procedures normally apply for investigating a noise nuisance from commercial, industrial and agricultural premises, as they do for domestic noise complaints. Depending on the type of premises we may contact the council's licensing section or planning enforcement section as part of our investigation. Some large industrial and waste facilities may also have an environmental permit which can include conditions to control noise pollution, and these are enforced by either the Environment Agency or the council.
There is currently no licensing or registration scheme for street performers in the East Riding. However, if you intend to play live amplified music you may require a temporary events notice from the Licensing Team.
The following pdf document provides further advice to buskers and street performers on avoiding noise problems.

The following are examples of sources of noise that the council will not usually be able to investigate.
The following pdf document provides contact details to report noise from aircraft

You can report noise pollution online (opens in new window)
You can also call us on (01482) 396301 during office hours (8.30am – 5.30pm Monday – Thursday, 8.30am – 4.30pm Friday).
Outside of normal office hours please contact the customer call centre on (01482) 393939. This should only be used to report urgent problems, such as a misfiring alarm.
Unfortunately, we cannot usually investigate anonymous complaints.
To prove a statutory nuisance exists, the council will need to investigate the problem at the complainant's property. When carrying out visits, we will be as discreet as is reasonably practicable, and we will keep your details confidential, in accordance with our data protection policy. However, the complainant will be expected to keep a diary of noise problems suffered and to provide a statement of witness or attend court should formal action be necessary.
In some cases the council may not be able to get sufficient evidence to be able to take any action on your behalf. In such cases, you can take private action by complaining directly to the magistrates' court. This is a simple process and need not cost much. You do not need to employ a solicitor but it is advisable to seek some legal advice prior to taking such action. More information is available in the following pdf document.

If you are proposing a potentially noisy development such as an industrial site or certain leisure activities near to noise sensitive buildings, such as homes or schools, then you may need to carry out a noise assessment as part of your application. Similarly, if you are proposing a noise sensitive development near to an existing source of noise, this will also need to be assessed.

While other Utah Jazz players Monday told of summer vacations to Jamaica and Spain, and joked about Twitter accounts, Derrick Favors carried an air of seriousness.
At media day, the official getting-to-know-you of the NBA season for the new-look Jazz, the No. 3 pick in the 2010 draft was jovial and outgoing when talking about his offseason training and Enes Kanter's Twitter behavior. But when asked to address his role or the competition for the starting power forward spot, Favors got quiet again, deferring as he often did in his first season-and-a-half with the Jazz.
Paul Millsap vs. Derrick Favors
Season statistics, 2011

Millsap 32.8 16.6 8.8
Favors 21. 2 8.8 6.5

"That's up to Coach," Favors said.
Which means Tyrone Corbin has some big decisions to make with his 21-year-old emerging star. On a team with several positions up for grabs, no starting role is expected to be more contested in Jazz training camp, which starts Tuesday, than power forward.
Incumbent starter Paul Millsap is in a contract year and was considered an All-Star snub last season. Favors, however, was the centerpiece in the trade that sent Deron Williams to the then-New Jersey Nets two seasons ago, and is considered one of the building blocks for the Jazz.
"With Derrick being who he is, being an extreme talent, he pushes me and motivates me every day," Millsap said. "I do the same for him. That's the good thing about it. Practices are very competitive. We're learning from each other, which is good."
Millsap said Monday that he would "absolutely" like to re-sign with Utah. It raises, however, the question of how the Jazz can commit to both Millsap and Favors.
The Jazz have been down a similar road before, although in a different era. In 1986, the Jazz traded starting forward Adrian Dantley, a future Hall of Famer, to make way for Karl Malone, who was entering his third season in Utah.
Millsap, the sixth-year player who was the No. 47 pick in the 2006 draft, was offered an extension by the Jazz over the summer, but opted to explore free agency after this season.
First-year general manager Dennis Lindsey said he looks at the depth in the frontcourt, which includes Al Jefferson and Kanter, as a strength, rather than a glut.
"I think there's enough playing time and opportunity for all of them," he said, "as we saw last year. I think Ty did a terrific job of establishing those roles on who does what and when. Derrick is one of four."
Favors averaged 8.8 points and 6.5 rebounds per game in 21 minutes per game last season, but saw an increase in time and productivity in the first-round playoff series against San Antonio.
Favors spent the offseason training with Team USA in the run-up to the London Olympics. Along with teammate Gordon Hayward, he competed on the Select Team that practiced against the team that eventually won a gold medal at the Summer Games.
"The main thing I took from it," Favors said, "[is] I've got to work harder. Those guys out there work hard, and if I want to be at their level, I've got to work a lot harder than I work now."
Lindsey, who previously served as assistant general manager in San Antonio, said he had measured goals for Favors. He said Favors should use his effectiveness from a year ago "as a springboard."
"We'll see very good basketball from him this year," Lindsey said. "But frankly I don't think we'll see his best basketball because he is so young. Each year you grow, and Derrick's growing by the moment and we've seen growth this summer. In regards to the starting, the time, the team will have to sort itself out."

Strengths: Great components, my model was a 2011, came with x9. I have had no problems with the drivetrain. The fox 32 f100 rl that it came with has taken a lot of punishment from small jumps and hauling balls down hills and has held up exceptionally well. The bontrager mustang wheel set have been great, no problems whatsoever or any tacos thank god. The paragons frame just makes you want to go faster, I go up and down hills as fast as the trail and my body allows and have never felt like my bike was struggling to keep up. It's just a great bike. And the color is pretty awesome I don't know why everyone's hating on it
Weaknesses: Elexer 5 brakes, I didnt include these brakes in the rating because I feel they do not represent the quality of the bike. The brakes have Been bled 3 times, replaced pistons, replaced both organic an steal pads, and have spent many nights in the shop but still the lever will hit the grips without full braking force.

Date Reviewed: May 13, 2012
Strengths: I like the fact that I got this for way under the MSRP. It's light, strong, and very nimble. It doesn't flex and feel cheap. It's sturdy and gives you that feeling to keep riding. The shock on it, it AWESOME. You can make it almost like a solid shock or make it soft. It's nice because you can change it as your riding. I drove this home in over an hour and a half in the rain. Didn't wipe it down and rode it 2 days later. It never missed a beat. Buy a cheap bike and the gears probably wouldn't work properly. The brake also work great in the rain
Weaknesses: Color
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: July 15, 2011
Strengths: Rolls over everything, light, tracks very well, comfortable, nimble, good fork and wheels. Tubeless set up was a breeze.
Weaknesses: color scheme is a combination of matte light gray, matte medium gray and matte charcoal gray. The salesperson called it "stealthy" but it's really very gray. Not much of a weakness, though. I'm getting a little gray myself.
A major weakness was the Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires. They were more airless than tubeless. The rear constantly sprung leaks along a seam in the sidewalls. The front was fine until a month after purchase when it blew off the rim while on a bike rack. Neither I nor two bikes shops could keep it on the rim past 20 psi. LBS gave me two Bontrager 29-3 tires in exchange. These are a HUGE improvement.
Bottom Line:
Paragon in specific: very stiff laterally; surprisingly compliant in the rough stuff; very stable; tracks like a champ - you point it and it shoots; though it's a size larger than I thought I would need, it is actually nimble - I took it on tight single track up at Tahoe and it never had a problem zipping around the ax heads, trees, boulders, bear scat, etc.; Schwalbe Rocket Ron tires had to be replaced - wouldn't hold air, wouldn't stay on the rim - replaced with Bontrager 29-3s with no muss, no fuss, no more tire sealant spraying all over creation; I'm getting used to the very wide, sweeping handlebars, but they're ergo and light; the saddle is a little on the soft side but fine; the brakes are fine but who wants to slow down?; the crankset is chunky but it works fine.
I did a lot of shopping and I don't think you can get a better bike for the money.

Strengths: Good geometry for my body type (6'3", long torso). Makes me a better rider. Rigid - good for climbing while standing. Strong - frame did not bend when a car crashed into my back wheel and the bike and I hit the road hard. Classy but low-key paint job.
Weaknesses: Stock 17 degree sweep handlebar concentrated pressure on heels of my hands = pain. (Trek has now noticed and changed stock to 12 degrees.) I switched to Niner Flatbar w/9 degree sweep - a big improvement. Seat is a bit gnarly - want to upgrade to WTB Rocket. Avid Elixir brakes often rub/squeak event when centered - the shop guy told me this is a chronic problem with them. Why could Trek not have chose something better?

Strengths: Lightweight, solid groupset, not too much to upgrade (IMO), Decent wheels, durable.
Weaknesses: Big Sweep Bars-might be ok for the West Coast, but here on the East Coast riding with those things would be suicide. Waaay too many tight spots on our trails.
Bottom Line:
After doing some research on the new Trek/Fisher Collection bikes, I decided to try the big wheels again. They suit the racing I'll be doing better (endurance and XTERRA tri), as well as seem to be the 'missing link' between hardtails and FS.
Anyway, I pulled the trigger on the Paragon and have absolutely no regrets. Straight out of the box this bike handled very similar to my Trek 8000 26er. It accelerates slightly slower, but more than makes up for it once things get rolling. It's stable and nimble, with pinpoint steering. This bike is just as whippy as any 26er I've ridden.
Bottom line is it's an unbelievable value for the price you pay, and more than race worthy right out of the box. Simple upgrades would make it even lighter, rivaling even the carbon HT's Trek offers.
Contrary to what most say, I actually find the stock saddle (Bontrager Evoke 2) to be rather comfy. I'm used to a firmer saddle, but the extra cusion of the Bontrager saddle was in just the right places and didn't feel too squishy at all.
If you have any reservations about purchasing this bike, don't! You won't regret it. Trek and Fisher have combined for an amazing product.

Strengths: Fantastic bike, top-notch components, great geometry, very reliable, reasonably light. Reba is very flexible and tunable. Can run 2.3" tires in the rear.
Weaknesses: Since I got mine in 2006, Trek has been decreasing the level of the components and increasing the price of the bike. It's just not the same anymore.
Bottom Line:
I love this bike... the only reason I'm selling it is to go to a full-suspension, and am almost sad to see it go. I've no complaints at all, everything has been flawless. Enough that I'm building my new bike with the same component setup, just updated to 2011 parts.
I don't think you can find a better hardtail 29er from a major manufacturer.

Update: Aviation Week has this piece that has some good close-ups of artwork.
Boeing held a tele-conference updating the 737 MAX program. Beverly Wyse, VP and GM of the 737 Program are Michael Teal gave the briefing.
Beverly Wyse (BW)
Michael Teal (MT)
BW: 737 MAX has met firm design concept. Honeywell will provide an electronic bleed air system. Flight deck will have large displays from Rockwell Collins. MAX production will have future growth capability.
MT: We have in place a plan to preserve training commonality with large flight deck displays. We engage with regulators for training regulations and feel this will not be an issue.
Development team made significant progress to have aerodynamic design. We removed nose gear door bump from earlier iterations. We can get longer gear within the wheel well. LEAP 1B reached architectural freeze in September, freezing fan size and core size. Final design freeze will be in April 2013.
With the completion of firm concept, the completion of production design can move forward.
BW: It is important we maintain stability in our production plan. The 737 MAX transition allows us to maintain stability with NG rate increases and into the MAX.
BW: Third production line begins in 2015 with construction of first flight test aircraft. Eventually will use the third line for future rate increases beyond the planned 42 a month.
MT: Will only offer radial tires on nose gear, nose gear retracts further into the wheel well.
MT: 13% fuel reduction is a per-seat off the 737NG from today's most efficient NG (19% better than original 1997 NG.) MAX will continue with the same maintenance cost as today's NG.
MT: Goal is to have the same field performance as NG.
BW: 737-7 MAX: Many of our customers select a primary model but have substitution rights into other model. We see the -7 as being part of a family of aircraft where airlines can use -7 on thinner routes. It also serves missions in high-hot regions, such as in Tibetan plateau. We see the -7 serving these critical missions. I would no say "no question" that we will build it, but customers have asked about it and it is in our family today.
MT: Flight test plans for -8 will have four test planes. Expect to have two flight test airplanes for the -9 and -7.
BW: Part of the reason for more flight test airplanes is to proceed as fast as possible.
MT: Can't give you at this time an exact count of the amount of change of MAX vs NG. This is part of the design process between now and the middle of next year.
MT: This airplane is an amended type certification, do not see re-certification.
[Editor: UBS Securities issued a new research note even as the teleconference was proceeding, with this comment:
[Systems changes represent onset of scope creep: This morning BA announced that it had achieved "Firm Concept" on 737 MAX including new bleed air system from HON, new tail cone, new winglets, and surprise move to upgrade 737 NG displays from HON with 787 large format displays from COL. BA's move to incorporate updated systems beyond the engine represents a departure from its stated strategy of minimal design changes on 737 MAX.
[When MAX was announced, former CEO of BCA Jim Albaugh said he wanted minimal changes. The MAX has, for some time, appeared to be undergoing design creep, hence the questions about commonality and re-certification.]
BW: Right now we are saying 2017 EIS, [Southwest Airlines previously told us 4Q17, Jim Albaugh hoped to advance this schedule); as we move forward we will get more definitive about the schedule.

On the remodeling project shown here, the clients wanted to create a gathering spot that would connect their kitchen to the adjacent dining and living areas. They came up with the idea of a dry bar in the corner, with a surface that would complement the stone counter in the kitchen. They found a maker of concrete and wood counters on the Web (J. Aaron, jaaroncaststone.com) and, after seeing a photo of a top made of distressed black walnut, declared, "This is it!"
We drew up a preliminary design and forwarded it to the company to get pricing. Once we had the owners' go-ahead, we finalized the drawings, refining the edge radius and requesting some handwork with rasps and files to give the piece a natural feel.
We decided to support the top with steel brackets secured to the half-wall framing below. We ordered these from a local metalworker, who fabricated three brackets that fit perfectly in the stud bays. We installed them and tested them for strength, then waited for the counter to arrive.
The day the walnut top was delivered was exciting. It came via freight truck, packed in a 5-foot-by-7-foot wood box. Other than the photo on the Web site, how the top would look had remained a mystery. No one was disappointed.
We scribed the counter to fit against the wall, set it in place, and marked out the exact locations of the steel brackets from underneath. We then routed slots in the bottom and installed the top, using silicone to seal the connection between the wood and steel. A few coated screws driven up through the steel hold it in place, where it seems to float above the floor.

A tray ceiling can add style to a room, but the prep, framing, and finishing can be complicated and costly. With vinyl EZ-Tray angled corner bead (800/874-2333, trim-tex.com), however, drywall contractor Myron Ferguson quickly and inexpensively converted this flat ceiling to one with eye-catching detail. At a soffit depth of 2 inches, the change in plane is modest but effective, making the system a good choice for rooms of average ceiling height.
The installation begins with 2x2 furring strips screwed through the drywall into the framing, outlining the soffit areas. Intermittent blocking provides added support for the soffit drywall. The job shown here is new construction, but the method would be no different in a remodeling situation. In fact, the border areas can conceal new wiring runs for retrofit lighting fixtures.
Ferguson applies 1/2-inch drywall over the furring and then trims it flush with a zip tool. Cleaning up raggedness and dangling paper with a rasp provides a crisp edge. A block of 2x4 added on the fly backs up random butt joints, preventing movement and cracking and allowing infill pieces to be quickly fitted without reference to a framing layout.
Once the drywall is installed, the exposed edge of the furring is covered with the 3-inch-wide EZ-Tray corner bead. Ferguson covers the long runs first, butting square-cut ends into the corners. Next — although the instructions don't include this step — he applies adhesive caulk behind the top of the bead to help position and hold it against the ceiling drywall. The vinyl bead cuts easily with snips or a utility knife, and overlapping "mitered" corners are simple to make with a proprietary angle marker. Using spray adhesive, he then sticks the narrow installation flange to the drywall, staples it at 10-inch intervals, and covers it with compound. The angled face serves as a finished surface and requires no compound.
After taping, finishing, and priming the drywall, Ferguson uses acrylic caulk to blend the miters and integrate the top edge into the ceiling. The caulk readily takes texture and paint and gets finished with the ceiling for a seamless appearance. He prices the average soffit at about $10 per linear foot, based on the room's perimeter dimensions. — Dave Holbrook
Here's a technique we use on occasion to create an open floor plan in an existing ranch-style home, where the ceiling joists typically rest on a center bearing wall. Instead of installing temporary ceiling support and demolishing the bearing wall, we strip the wall of drywall and then move to the attic.
First, we spike together all the overlapping ceiling joists with plenty of 12-penny nails, then lay a 2x6 baseplate on the flat across the top of the ceiling joists, directly above the top plate of the bearing wall. We fasten the plate with #12 structural screws into the top of each joist, shimming as needed to ensure good contact with each joist. This helps to maintain the existing ceiling plane and prevent drywall screw pops.
Next, we make an opening in the gable end, then slide an engineered wood beam along the baseplate. (The beam shown here is a 6x16-inch Parallam, though the size changes depending on the spans involved.) By this time we've already installed posts or other continuous structural bearing for both ends of the beam, extending down to the foundation or a new footing.
Once the beam's in place, we lag-screw it to the baseplate from below, then use conventional rafter ties and perforated steel straps to secure the ceiling joists to the beam. At this point we can tear out the first-floor bearing wall; typically, all that's left is to patch the gap in the drywall left by the old plate.
The first time we used this method, we ran it by a structural engineer to make sure we were on the right track. Now, as long as we're dealing with the ordinary attic loads found in ranches, we size the engineered beam and metal connectors from the manufacturers' design guides.

DENVER, March 14, 2014 – The South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) recently awarded CH2M HILL a contract to provide professional engineering services as part of an $880 million plan to restore the Everglades. Under this contract, CH2M HILL will work in tandem with SFWMD to help enhance the natural region of tropical wetlands in Florida.
The Everglades, which once covered nearly 11,000 square miles of South Florida, is one of the largest U.S. freshwater wetland systems and is home to dozens of threatened and endangered species. Efforts to drain the marshland for agriculture, development and flood control have reduced the Everglades to half the size it was a century ago.
"SFWMD's mission is to protect water resources and restore the Everglades' ecosystem," said Chris Niforatos, CH2M HILL's Program Manager. "We look forward to contributing our expertise in design and construction management services for large-scale earthworks and conveyance projects to help SFWMD manage and protect this precious wetland system."
CH2M HILL is also working with the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) on its Watershed Management Program—a multifaceted program to develop flood risk information for watersheds throughout west-central Florida. In February, SWFWMD awarded CH2M HILL four contracts, including two general engineering contracts for conveyance and natural systems, as well as contracts for the Watershed Management Program and a Hydrogeological Investigation of the Lower Floridan Aquifer, to help SWFWMD manage water and water-related resources in southwest Florida.
"SWFWMD's watershed approach is critical to ensuring Florida's current and future water needs are met," continued Niforatos, who is serving as the program manager. "Working closely with SWFWMD, we are helping protect, enhance, and restore the water quality and natural systems for the District."
