Nxai Pan National Park, well known for its huge springbok population, covers over 810-square-miles (2,100-km2) and is located north of the Maun-Nata road in Northern Botswana. The Nxai Pan is a fossil lake bed about 15-square-miles (40-km2) in size; it is covered with grass during the rains. The landscape is dotted with baobab and acacia trees. Kgama-Kgama Pan is second to Nxai Pan in size.
In addition to southern giraffe, wildlife includes gemsbok, eland, greater kudu, blue wildebeest, red hartebeest, springbok, steenbok, brown and spotted hyena, cheetah and other predators. During the rains, elephant and buffalo may also be seen. After the first rains have fallen (December through April), game viewing can be good. Bird life is excellent during the rains.
Baines' Baobabs, situated in the park not far from the Maun-Nata road, were immortalized by the famous painter Thomas Baines in 1862. His painting, titled "The Sleeping Five," is of five baobabs, one of which is growing on its side. Seldom are baobab trees found growing so closely together. Baines' Baobabs were later painted by Prince Charles.
Nxai Pan Camp has been built into a tree line and features eight tents (seven twins and one family tent accommodating four people) with en suite facilities, outdoor showers, private viewing decks, ceiling fans and powered by solar-technology with back-up generators. The main area, connected by a raised walkway, includes a dining room, lounge and viewing deck. Activities offered are game drives in open 4wd vehicles, guided walks, excursions to Baines' Baobabs.

SWFUploadField Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent
17 June 2010 at 11:49am
I have successfully installed DataObjectManager and SWFUploadField modules on my local machine, using them for a basic image gallery. I upload the files via ftp to the server, the SWFUpload still works for me on my local machine when uploading images using the CMS on the server.
My colleagues get the flash error:
Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent
Then a js alert box with:
An error occured in the upload. Try again later.
I have the same version of flash, browser etc. I think a file path or bad upload URL is to blame and that my machine is perhaps using some files from the local harddrive to successfully complete the upload? Not sure what config changes I need to make or anything, when I look at var_dump(SWFUploadConfig::DumpConfiguration()); all the paths seem correct.
Also, what file does this URL point to?

Re: SWFUploadField Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent
23 June 2010 at 10:59am
Update: This one took a lot of debugging.
I think the situation was on my Ubuntu machine I had flash version 10.1 r53 installed, but NOT the debug version. Other Windows machines with the same version of flash may have had the debug version installed. I could upload files from my Ubuntu machine, the Windows machines would get a js popup with an error like:
An Error occurred in the Upload. Try again later.
Also a flash related error like:
Error #2044: Unhandled IO Error Event. Error #2038 File I/O Error.
This was being triggered by an HTTP ERROR, the server handing back a status code of 406 "Not Acceptable"
SWF DEBUG: Event: uploadError: HTTP ERROR : File ID: SWFUpload_0_0. HTTP Status: 406.
The solution for us was this one line in the .htaccess file to turn OFF mod_security:

|Previous College:
|Cal State Fullerton
|Assistant Coach
|2nd Season
Former Titan standout Kirk Saarloos becomes the full-time pitching coach under Rick Vanderhook in 2012. He was an undergraduate assistant for Dave Serrano in 2011.
Saarloos, 31, returns to the school that propelled him to a seven-year major league career with Houston (2002-03), Oakland (2004-06, 08) and Cincinnati (2007).
The right-hander was the most used pitcher in the history of the Titan baseball program, racking up a school record 127 appearances from 1998-2001. He was strictly a reliever for his first three season, compiling a 18-10 record with 18 saves out of the pen, but then earned first-team All-American status and was named the Big West Conference Pitcher of the Year after going 15-2 with 4 saves as a senior starter.
Also that year, Saarloos became the third Titan hurler to toss a no-hitter when he blanked Pacific in a 28-0 rout on Apr. 8, 2001.
Over four collegiate seasons, Saarloos compiled a 33-12 record with a 2.96 ERA, and ranks 6th all-time at Cal State Fullerton in career innings pitched, 2nd in wins, 5th in saves and 3rd in strikeouts.
Saarloos made two trips to the College World Series (1999 and 2001) with the Titans where he logged a save and gave up just 2 runs over 15.1 innings in four appearances.
After being selected as the 83rd pick overall (3rd round) by the Houston Astros in the 2001 Major League Baseball draft, the righty went on to become the 2002 minor league pitcher of the year and was called up to the big club on June 18, 2002.
Saarloos was 29-30 with a 5.02 ERA in his major league career, with his best season coming in 2005 with Oakland (10-9, 4.17 ERA, 159.2 IP).
In 2003 he again made no-no news, but this time, not by himself. On June 11 he was one of a major league record six Houston Astros pitchers to combine for a no-hitter against the mighty New York Yankees.
After his final season with the A's, Cleveland signed Saarloos as a free agent in 2009, but he never appeared in a big league game with the Indians and was again granted free agency in November of 2009.
Saarloos is a product of Valley Christian High School in Cerritos, Calif.
He earned his bachelor's degreee in public relations from Cal State Fullerton in the Spring of 2011.
Saarloos and his wife, Kristen, have a four-year-old son, Brady, and a two-year-old daughter, Emery.

July 8-10
Three opera performances at the Arena di Verona were the grand finale to our trip. The arena dates back to 30 AD, when it was used for spectacles and sporting events. It seats approximately 15,000 spectators:
Here's a group photo in front of the orchestra pit. The set for The Barber of Seville is on stage. I assume the enormous roses are a reference to Rosina (the lead female character), and they were quite beautiful under stage light:
Enjoying a glass of prosecco with George and Lee Anne Carter, as the crowd starts to file in:
The word "spectator" is apt in this arena - one feels less like a member of a typical opera audience, and more like a spectator and participant in some enormous, grand event. Attending The Barber of Seville on Friday night made this abundantly clear. The overture featured at least 100 dancers in 18th century dress moving about the stage in a series of tableaus and choreographed sequences.
Throughout the performance, an endless number of dancers, servants, mimes, gymnasts, soldiers, etc, appeared in the large areas stage right and left - dancing, miming, posing, etc, while the story of the Barber of Seville happened to be taking place center stage. Here's a photo from the performance:
All of us agreed that Barber was a very odd choice for a venue this size, because of the intimacy of the opera itself. There are only six main characters in Barber, and the chorus (who rarely appear) is typically 12 to 16 singers. The opera never really stood a chance in this cavernous venue, and the soloists had to compete with a parade of "extras" all evening (almost all of whom had no bearing on the plot whatsoever).
The next evening we saw Nabucco, another great early Verdi opera (like Attila at La Scala), and a much more appropriate piece for a venue of this size. Nabucco is a grand biblical opera, told on a grand scale, and the huge choruses of Hebrews, Babylonians, armies, etc, are a crucial part of the opera. Indeed, while there are five leading roles in Nabucco, the chorus is essentially the main character of the opera. Here's a photo from Act II:
I mentioned the chorus "Va Pensiero" in my third entry for this blog, referring to it's popularity and deep significance in Italian history. The performance of this chorus was quite beautifully sung, and a highlight of the evening. Afterwards the applause was thunderous, as were the calls of "Bis". Sure enough, the chorus was repeated! It's the first time in many years that I've experienced an encore during an opera performance.
Our final performance at Arena di Verona was Verdi's Aida. This is the opera most associated with the venue, primarily because of the enormous size of the procession during the Act II triumphal scene. And this production did not disappoint. Here are two photos of that scene, which barely capture its size and scale:
My guess is that there were close to 1,500 people on stage (soloists, chorus, dancers, children, supernumeries, animal handlers, etc) for this scene - incredible!
As it turns out, a hail storm descended upon Verona during the last act of the Aida performance. It happened during the scene when the priests are condemning Radames for betraying his people. Judgment truly came from on high for poor Radames that night! But it must have been the first performance in history that had a happy ending - Aida and Radames were never condemned to death! The lovers lived! Bravi!
A patron, while speaking about attending an opera in this famous arena, said to me,"this really isn't about the music, is it?" I had to agree with him.
Attending an opera in the arena is not unlike the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, or the half-time show at the Super Bowl, etc. It's much more about the "experience" of being there, then the actual opera itsef - being outside, viewing the immense size of the ancient ruins, enjoying a drink, and perhaps a chat - all while the opera is taking place. This is not unlike how opera was occasionally experienced during the 18th century - patrons might enjoy a full meal in their opera box, and come and go throughout the performance.
Also, there are no surtitles. A woman sitting a few rows behind me was audibly explaining the plot of The Barber of Seville to her son, scene by scene - perhaps it was his first opera, and she wanted to make sure he knew what was happening. While the audience was mostly attentive, one could hear occasional chatter throughout the evening.
And although there were announcements to not use cameras (the performance photos I've posted in this blog were found online), the flash bulbs were popping non-stop during long stretches of each performance - how could the average tourist resist with such spectacle?
The question is how does one concentrate on the singing or staging or story in such an environment? But I don't think that is the point of seeing opera at the Arena di Verona...
That said, a very good time was truly had by all, and it was fun trying to guess the number of bodies on stage, or how they were able to have the Babylonian temple explode during Nabucco, or what the spectacular live fire works at the end of The Barber of Seville (no kidding) had to do with the opera, or if they had four white horses on stage for Aida, why couldn't they have elephants too, or...?
We all had a great time together on this "Viaggio Operatico in Italia", and more than one patron commented on how quickly the time flew by. Here's a photo of us having a final toast together at the hotel in Verona:
This was a very special group of travelers. I'm grateful to have made new friends, and to have deepened friendships that have been built over the years - all based on a common love of opera!
And now, back to the great Northwest, back to the office, back to the great Portland Opera!
Ciao cari amici,

Minneapolis police and animal control officers executed search warrants at 10 addresses Wednesday in connection with a suspected dog fighting ring.
Nine of the properties were in Minneapolis and one in New Hope, Minn. Officers seized 15 pit bulls, two guns, a dog fighting training manual and an unspecified amount of narcotic drugs and supplies associated with dog fighting.
The dogs were found in fairly good condition; however, many had injuries consistent with dog fighting. The pit bulls are currently being cared for at the Minneapolis Animal Care and Control shelter.
"The dogs [were], like I said, they're in a kennel, they're chained up. Most of them [were] on a dirt surface. Some had feces in the kennel area," said Sgt. Lindsay Herron, animal crimes investigator with the Minneapolis Police Department. "Most of them did not have water. I did not locate food in most of the kennels, so these dogs are not well cared for."
A suspected dog fighter was arrested and booked into the Hennepin County Jail, where he is awaiting charges.
Fox 9 News has learned that the man apparently rented homes specifically to keep the dogs.
Anyone with any information about this ongoing investigation is asked to call the tipline at 612-692-TIPS (8477) or text information to 847 411 (Tip 411), enter MPD and the tip.

Miniflora Roses
The ARS defines a miniflora as, "Those roses whose leaf structure and leaf morphology and bloom structure are essentially smaller than a floribunda but larger than the typical miniature." They were created largely through the breeding of large roses with miniatures. The average miniflora bush is 2 ½ -4 ½' tall and can be within that range for plant width as well.

text: [Federal Register: February 23, 1996 (Volume 61, Number 37)] [Notices] [Page 6980-6983] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program AGENCY: Department of Education. ACTION: Notice of proposed priorities. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [[Page 6981]] SUMMARY: The Secretary proposes an absolute priority and a competitive preference priority under the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program. The Secretary takes this action to focus Federal financial assistance on specific approaches to identifying and serving gifted and talented students. The Secretary may use these priorities in FY 1996 and subsequent years. DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 25, 1996. ADDRESSES: All comments concerning these proposed priorities should be addressed to Linda Jones, U.S. Department of Education, 555 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., Room 500, Washington, D.C. 20208-5645. Comments may also be sent through the Internet to (email@example.com). FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Jones or Janet Williams. Telephone: (202) 219-2153 or (202) 219-1674. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern time, Monday through Friday. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program is designed to build nationwide capability in gifted and talented education and encourage rich and challenging curricula for all children. The Secretary seeks to improve the education of gifted and talented children, and to promote the use of strategies developed in gifted and talented education programs to help improve the education of all students. The Secretary believes that improving the education of gifted and talented students is an integral part of achieving the National Education Goals, which require that every student attain higher standards of academic excellence. The Secretary is particularly concerned that the educational needs of gifted and talented students from populations historically underserved by gifted and talented education programs be addressed. In addition, the Secretary wants to see gifted and talented education programs contribute to systemic education reform by modeling coordinated systems of challenging standards and assessments, curricula, and teacher preparation aligned with those standards to improve education. The Secretary believes that the use of challenging content and performance standards is the most promising way to raise students' achievement. Therefore, the Secretary proposes an absolute priority that would support the development of model demonstration programs that focus on economically disadvantaged children, children with limited English proficiency, or children with disabilities. Each project would be required to involve a school or schools that serve at least 50 percent low-income children and to incorporate professional development of staff and training of parents into the program. In addition, the program must be based on challenging content and performance standards in one or more of the core subject areas, and include a comprehensive improvement plan for each school involved in the project. The Secretary proposes a competitive priority to direct financial assistance to projects that primarily benefit areas that have been designated as Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities in accordance with Section 1391 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), as amended by Title XIII of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (OBRA) of 1993. Background on Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community Program--(EZ/ EC) The Empowerment Zone and Enterprise Community program is a critical element of the Administration's community revitalization strategy. The program is the first step in rebuilding communities in America's poverty-stricken inner cities and rural heartlands. It is designed to empower people and communities by inspiring Americans to work together to create jobs and opportunity. The Departments of Agriculture (USDA) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) have designated empowerment zones and enterprise communities, which are communities located within the cities and counties listed in the appendix. The Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities were designated based on locally-developed strategic plans that comprehensively address how the community will link economic development with education and training, as well as how community development, public safety, human services, and environmental initiatives together will support sustainable communities. Designated areas will receive Federal grant funds and substantial tax benefits and will have access to other Federal programs. (For additional information on the Urban EZ/EC program contact HUD at 1-800-998-9999 and for the rural EZ/EC program contact USDA at 1-800-645-4712.) The Department of Education is supporting the Empowerment Zone and the Enterprise Community initiative in a variety of ways. It is encouraging zones to use funds they already receive from Department of Education programs (including Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act, the Adult Education Act, and the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act) to support the comprehensive vision of their strategic plans. In addition, the Department of Education is giving preferences to EZ/ECs in a number of discretionary grant programs that are well suited for inclusion in a comprehensive approach to economic and community development. The Empowerment Zone initiative and the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program share some common features. Both programs are concerned with the educational advancement of students caught in high-poverty communities. Under the Javits Gifted and Talented Education Program, at least one-half of the grants in any given year must serve students who are economically disadvantaged, limited English proficient or who have disabilities. Communities that have been designated as Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities have demonstrated a capacity for the type of planning that allows communities to use, where appropriate, methods and materials developed in gifted and talented programs to improve the educational opportunities for all children. The Secretary believes that the limited resources available under the Jacob K. Javits Gifted and Talented Students Education Program will have the greatest impact if the funds are directed to communities that have the greatest need and have already established comprehensive community development plans. Therefore, the Secretary establishes the following competitive priority to focus Federal funds on gifted and talented projects that would address the needs of Empowerment Zones or Enterprise Communities. Note: This notice of proposed priorities does not solicit applications. A notice inviting applications under this priority for fiscal year 1996 will be published in the Federal Register concurrent with or following publication of the notice of final priorities. Priorities Under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(3) the Secretary proposes to give an absolute preference to applications that meet the following priority. The Secretary proposes to fund under this competition [[Page 6982]] only applications that meet this absolute priority: Proposed Absolute Priority--Model Programs Projects that establish and operate model programs to serve gifted and talented students in schools in which at least 50 percent of the students enrolled are from low-income families. Projects must include students who may not be served by traditional gifted and talented programs, including economically disadvantaged students, limited English proficient students, and students with disabilities. The projects must incorporate high-level content and performance standards in one or more of the core subject areas as well as utilize innovative teaching strategies. The projects must provide comprehensive ongoing professional development opportunities for staff. The projects must incorporate training for parents in ways to support their children's educational progress. There must also be comprehensive evaluation of the projects' activities. Proposed Competitive Preference Priority--Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community Within this proposed absolute priority concerning model projects, the Secretary, under 34 CFR 75.105(c)(2)(i), proposes to give preference to applications that meet the following competitive priority. The Secretary proposes to award five (5) points to an application that meets this competitive priority. These points would be in addition to any points the application earns under the evaluation criteria for the program: Projects that implement model programs in one or more schools in an Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community or that primarily serve students who reside in the EZ or EC. Applicants must ensure that the proposed program relates to the strategic plan and will be an integral part of the Empowerment Zone or Enterprise Community program. Intergovernmental Review This program is subject to the requirements of Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR Part 79. The objective of the Executive order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism by relying on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. In accordance with the order, this document is intended to provide early notification of the Department's specific plans and actions for this program. Invitation to Comment Interested persons are invited to submit comments and recommendations regarding this proposed priority. All comments submitted in response to this notice will be available for public inspection, during and after the comment period, in Room 500, 555 New Jersey Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday of each week except Federal holidays. Applicable Regulations (a) 34 CFR Parts 74, 75, 77, 79, 80, 81, 85 and 86; and (b) the final regulations for Standards for the Conduct and Evaluation of Activities Carried Out by the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI)--Evaluation of Applications for Grants and Cooperative Agreements and Proposals for Contracts, published on September 14, 1995 in the Federal Register (60 FR 47808), to be codified at 34 CFR Part 700. Note: The regulations in 34 CFR Part 791 previously applicable to this program will no longer apply to this program. Program Authority: 20 U.S.C 8032-8036.

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- Our kitchen is small, but the yellow walls and white cabinets make it feel sunny, airy, and completely spacious. My sister/roommate loves to cook (and I love to eat!) so we're always hanging out in the kitchen, which is why it was so important for us to make it feel cozy and welcoming.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.
- We like to keep our kitchen pretty well stocked, so it was tough to figure out how to store all of our food products without it looking messy or cluttered. A small herb garden on the window sill, well organized cabinets, and spices and grains kept in glass jars keep everything looking neat and fresh.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?
- The weekend is when we really get to enjoy cooking, so I love a leisurely Sunday brunch of Huevos Rancheros. Fried eggs, tortillas, avocado, refried beans, and salsa = food heaven!

Most GPS-enabled cell phones use some type of navigation or mapping software. They're great when you're walking the streets of an unfamiliar town, but problems often surface when you try to use them in a moving vehicle. The main problem is mounting the phone so you get a good GPS signal lock while still allowing you to access the phone's buttons and hear the directions. Magellan has developed a premium car kit that, when used in conjunction with the company's RoadMate app, will transform an iPhone or iPod Touch into a complete in-car navigation system. The phone cradle offers a secure mounting location, charging station, built-in GPS receiver, amplified speaker for clear directions, and a noise-cancelling microphone for hands-free calling. The use of the Magellan Premium Car Kit is not restricted for use only with RoadMate will work with all navigation applications.

The problem with drive-by-wire throttle systems is that they can give an unbalanced, non-progressive throttle feel. You may feel you have to floor the gas just to get the car to move with any authority. There's a sensor located on the fuel pedal that converts the angle of the pedal into a digital signal that is then relayed to the ECU, which instructs the throttle body on what to do. The Sprint Booster unit is installed between the pedal sensor and the ECU and is designed to intercept and modify the electronic signals to increase pedal sensitivity and throttle response, and eliminate throttle delays.

Applications Development
UCL Multimedia develops a wide range of Multimedia Applications, which are deployed to support and enhance Teaching & Learning, R&D and Academic Research across UCL.
Teaching & Learning
Multimedia Applications come in a wide range of varieties and complexities, ranging from small educational games to help in teaching and learning, such as those developed for the ATLAS Language Project.
We also develop much larger applications such as the ongoing 'Read-Right' project developed in conjunction with UCL Institute of Neurology (ION) with the aim of using a web-based therapy to help stroke survivors to read again. Projects such as these require a multitude of different disciplines such as extensive R&D; web design; graphic design; video production and software engineering.
After the initial demonstration website was created in 2007, the project has now been developed further over the last three years after receiving a substantial funding grant from The Stroke Association.
The Read-Right website (www.readright.ucl.ac.uk) and free web-based therapy were officially launched to the general public in June 2010. Since then Read-Right has received notable praise and was featured in the national press in a recent 'Mail On Sunday' newspaper article.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - An Albuquerque man has been sentenced to eight years in prison for possessing a stolen firearm and ammunition.
Prosecutors say 61-year-old Charles Brown also was sentenced Tuesday to three years of supervised release after serving his prison term.
Brown was been in federal custody since October 2011 after he was indicted on two counts of the unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition in Bernalillo County. He pleaded guilty to the charges last August.
Authorities say Brown was prohibited from possessing firearms or ammunition because he previously had been convicted of numerous felony offenses in New Mexico from 1972 to 1996. The offenses include robbery, burglary, larceny, receiving stolen property, receiving a stolen vehicle and heroin trafficking.
They say Brown also was convicted of endangerment in southern Arizona in 2003.

With their fell running heritage, Walsh have taken a different direction to trail and approach shoes to that used by climbing shoe manufacturers. Essentially they've beefed up their lightweight fell running shoes and this has produced a range that works very well in the UK mountain environment.
Most climbing footwear companies now include 'approach shoes' in their ranges, with the general design featuring reasonably stiff, smoothish soles with beefed up fabric and leather trainer-style uppers. While this general design works brilliantly for the alpine terrain – rocky trails, via ferrata etc of their manufacturers' heartlands - they can sometimes struggle on UK mountain rock approaches where bogs, steep grass slopes, steep mud slopes and more bogs are a recurring theme.
Walsh's Spirit range all feature an almost completely studded fell running derived sole unit made from a soft sticky rubber compound (Walsh are rumoured to guard the secret of their rubber almost as jealously as climbing shoe makers). Above the sole is a compressed EVA foam midsole, topped off with a lightweight, all synthetic upper.
The range all have slightly different uppers. I tested the lightest version (oddly enough called the 'lite') which features a minimal reinforced mesh upper, with the other models giving options of a slightly more supportive upper, a waterproof/breathable lining or a high ankle. All except the low cut waterproof/breathable 'React' model feature a handy heel pull on loop which takes a krab for easy carrying on a harness. A removable footbed allows the use of custom orthotic footbeds if required.

Walsh Spirit Lite
How did they perform?
In short - brilliantly! Use has included lots of days in the mountains and crags, from evening raids through to a midsummer Lake District 'alpine day out' of ten routes on five mountain crags.
The studded sole gives excellent and reassuring grip on steep grass, mud and spring snow, and great friction on rock, though the sole will wear quickly if used lots around town or on roads. The midsole gives reasonable cushioning on paths and scree while remaining very light and flexible enabling the whole sole to contact and grip the ground on steep ups or downs. The uppers are very breathable and let the shoes drain and dry quickly.
Overall, their light weight (around 30% lighter than more conventional approach shoe designs) makes them great for moving quickly in the hills and carrying up long routes for the descent.
And how do they climb?
As mentioned previously, the sticky sole gives great friction on rock. Due to their flexibility the spirits don't edge as well as conventional stiffer 'rock-shoe' based designs but especially as the studs wear down a bit they smear very well. On scrambles and easy climbs (classic VDiffs and the like) they perform brilliantly, and on harder routes their lightness makes them easy to carry clipped to the harness for descent.
In summary
A different take on approach shoes with many advantages (light weight, quick drying, very grippy sole) for use in the UK mountains especially for fast moving days, long boggy approaches and crags where taking shoes up the route for descent is required.

About Viv Scott
I've been climbing for a bit over ten years, and am currently based in Edinburgh having escaped from the southern flatlands. Climbing highs include Scottish winter climbing, a couple of trips to the Alaska Range, classic alpine routes, sunny ski touring, cragging in the UK and abroad, and beers and craic in the pub afterwards. Lows include Scottish winter climbing, alpine bivies, base camp blues, midges and the UK weather... I guess I'd like to be a jack of all trades and I'm definitely a master of none, but most enjoy the great variety of climbing and look forward to trips back to old favourites and hopefully many new and different places.

Answers to Key Questions Raised by M. Crichton in State of Fear
Read these comments in Japanese (pdf)???
See also comments posted on www.realclimate.org
Press accounts suggest that Michael Crichton spent three years researching his latest novel, State of Fear, in which environmental extremists engineer natural disasters to raise concern for global warming. Although Crichton attempts to use real-world data and studies within the novel to highlight some of the realities and uncertainties in climate science, the novel contains a number of strawman arguments, misinterpretations of the scientific literature, and even a few misleading statements drawn from the so-called "skeptics." Despite his research and the book's many footnotes, Crichton has a less-than-commanding understanding of climate change science. The book is much more of a vehicle for his own opinions on the issue rather than an objective commentary on the state of the science and policy debate. Discussion of key questions raised by Crichton in State of Fear follow:
Sea-Level Rise – Is it Accelerating? In the dialogue, one of Crichton's characters attacks the concept that the rate of sea-level rise has accelerated in recent years. It is unclear what point Crichton is trying to make here. Given that the ability to identify an increase in the rate of sea-level rise in the present has no bearing on whether that rate will increase decades down the road, the statement by Crichton's character is irrelevant. Crichton may be using his character to dispel a public misconception about sea-level rise, but it's not a misconception commonly shared by the scientific community. For example, the 2001 IPCC report explicitly stated that there was insufficient evidence to conclude that the rate of sea level rise has increased. Strangely, the evidence that Crichton offers to shore up his character's statement contradicts it instead. In two footnotes, Crichton cites a rate of sea-level rise of 3.1 mm/year over the past decade (measured by satellite), compared to 1.7-2.4 mm/year over the 20th century as a whole (measured by tide gauges), which suggests that the recent rate of sea-level rise has indeed accelerated relative to the long-term average. However, scientists are uncomfortable making direct comparisons between satellite and tide-gauge data due to the difficulty in calibrating data collected by different methods. Though the recent satellite data cannot be taken as proof of an acceleration in sea-level rise, they're certainly not proof that such an acceleration hasn't occurred.
Cooling Trends – Are They Inconsistent with Global Warming? Much of the data presented within State of Fear are temperature data from specific locations throughout the world. Crichton makes two points with these data. First, he uses the data to demonstrate that not all locations of the world show warming trends. This is correct, and is acknowledged by the climate science community – as one moves to smaller geographic scales, local factors (e.g., terrain, altitude, land cover, wind patterns, etc.) become increasingly important in determining climate conditions. Hence, the importance of averaging temperature data over large areas, which yields an unambiguous warming trend. Crichton's cherry-picking of sites to show cooling is a common, yet irrelevant tactic. Crichton's second point is that warming appears to manifest only in urban areas, suggesting the effects of urban heat islands explain warming trends. This issue has been investigated repeatedly over the past decade (including a few papers just in the past 18 months), using a variety of methods. Although heat islands are known to occur around urban areas and affect local temperatures, the consistent conclusion is that their influence on global temperature trends is negligible. Furthermore, both satellite and surface observations indicate that the most rapid warming has occurred over land in the Arctic (e.g., northern Canada and northern Asia). Obviously, these are regions that are sparsely populated with low occurrences of dense development or urbanization that could influence temperature trends. Similarly, urban heat islands cannot account for the observed warming of the world's oceans.
20th Century Temperatures – Did Scientists Forecast a Coming Ice Age during the 1970s? In the novel, Crichton's characters discuss one of the more popular myths of climate change science – that the scientific community projected during the 1970s that another ice age was imminent. The scientific community predicted nothing of the sort. This myth emerges from three sources. First, global temperatures did cool slightly from the 1940s until approximately 1970, but the scientific literature cautioned against interpreting anything from short temperature records (e.g., a U.S. National Academy of Sciences report recommended further research). Second, during the 1970s there were a number of studies and publications investigating the mechanisms responsible for past Ice Ages. These papers suggested that such climatological events were cyclical in nature and, as a consequence, another ice age was possible on time-scales of ~20,000 years (i.e., not in the near future). More recent research indicates that there is potential for another ice age, but on a time scale on the order of 50,000 years – making it an even more distant proposition than suggested during the 1970s. Third, research was also being conducted on the potential for atmospheric aerosols to have a cooling influence on the global climate. Since then, research has confirmed that sulfate aerosols do indeed have a cooling effect and largely account for the cooling observed during the 1940s-1970. However, the magnitude of their influence has been revised downward, and thus warming from CO2 now outweighs the effects of aerosol cooling. In any case, the published literature from scientists during the 1970s does not reflect alarmist predictions of an impeding ice age, and, in fact the research conducted at the time has proven to be robust. The myth of ice age predictions stems largely from the popular press, which extrapolated legitimate scientific findings such as those listed above to arrive at more alarming, but erroneous, conclusions.

Hurricanes – Are They More Frequent? Crichton's novel also mentions recent literature examining 20th century trends in hurricanes that show periods of high and low hurricane frequency, but no trend despite rising temperatures. Here, too, Crichton is correct – no long-term trend has been observed globally, although all hurricane experts agree that the frequency of hurricanes has increased in the North Atlantic, which is where hurricanes form that affect the Gulf of Mexico and the East Coast of the U.S. Here again, Crichton is attacking a strawman - at the time that State of Fear was published, no scientists had claimed that global warming was affecting hurricanes. However, several papers published since June 2005 now provide evidence that hurricane activity may indeed be responding to global warming (a conclusion which is supported to some extent by historical observations, but remains controversial). A more serious scientific flaw in Crichton's story is that his character extrapolates data from hurricanes to extreme weather events in general, suggesting there is no evidence of a change in extremes of any kind. Yet data suggest that the northern hemisphere has experienced an increase in precipitation over the 20th century, with most of the increase manifesting as heavy precipitation events. Low-temperature extremes (e.g., frost days) have become less frequent in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. High temperature extremes have become more frequent in some regions, but declined in others.
Glaciers – Are they retreating? Crichton's characters also attack the prevailing wisdom that glaciers worldwide are in retreat via three arguments: a) we don't have data for all of the world's glaciers, b) we have long-term data for even fewer, and c) some glaciers are advancing. All of the above are true. Scientists are not able to monitor all glaciers throughout the world, and the advance of glaciers in Norway, for example, is well documented and appears to be due to increases in regional precipitation (i.e., snowfall). Nevertheless, as documented by the IPCC and the recent Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, a consistent pattern of glacier retreat has been documented at low- mid- and high-latitudes in North and South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Of the numerous glaciers that are currently being monitored about 90% are decreasing in size. [for more on this, see World Glacier Monitoring Service at http://www.geo.unizh.ch/wgms/ ] Crichton's characters also challenge the assumption that the snows of Mt. Kilimanjaro are wasting away due to global warming. The literature does suggest that the decline of Mt. Kilimanjaro's snows started over a century ago when the climate of the Mt. Kilimanjaro region became abruptly more arid. Dryer air around the mountain resulted in less snowfall, which was necessary to maintain the mountain's ice fields. As such, Mt. Kilimanjaro may not be the best poster child for the effects of human-induced global warming.
James Hansen's 1988 Testimony – Did He Exaggerate the Problem? In the book, Crichton's characters recall the 1988 Congressional testimony of James Hansen. The book reports that in his testimony, Hansen presented an alarming scenario of future warming, which, as of 2000, was 300% greater (0.35oC/decade) than what had been observed (0.11oC/decade). However, the description of Hansen's testimony within Crichton's book is not the real version, but a distorted version presented by the well-known skeptic Patrick Michaels ten years later [for Hansen's account of this, see http://www.giss.nasa.gov/edu/gwdebate/ and http://columbia.edu/~jeh1/hansen_re-crichton.pdf]. In his actual 1988 testimony, Hansen discussed three scenarios of future climate change (A, B, and C) based upon work published that same year in the Journal of Geophysical Research. In his testimony, Hansen presented maps of future global warming that were based solely on scenario B (the mid-range projection), which he described as the most likely outcome. Scenarios A and C were meant to represent upper and lower bounds of the uncertainties in future projections. In 1998 Congressional testimony, Michaels presented a figure from Hansen's 1988 Journal of Geophysical Research paper showing projections of average global temperature change for Hansen's three scenarios. However, Michaels doctored the figure by erasing scenarios B and C, leaving only the highest scenario (A), which Michaels then cited as evidence of Hansen's alarmism and the fundamental failure of climate models to represent reality. Hansen's mid-range and favored scenario (B) has thus far matched observations well. Crichton's misrepresentation of history here suggests that either he was rather cavalier in his research or he simply preferred Michaels' fictional version of events.
Attribution – What's Causing Climate Change? In the appendix, Crichton proposes three explanations for recent and future global warming. The first is "a natural warming trend that began in 1850 as we emerged from a four-hundred year cold spell known as 'Little Ice Age.'" Skeptics frequently discuss the idea of a natural warming trend or rebound, yet they never offer a mechanism to explain the rebound (e.g., what has changed in the climate system that has enabled it to recover from the Little Ice Age?); they simply state that it is natural. Climate scientists always ask the question of whether natural influences can explain climatic changes, and multiple examinations of the major natural influences on the climate (e.g., solar energy and volcanic activity) have concluded that natural factors alone cannot explain observed 20th century climate change. Therefore the current warming trend does not appear to be natural.
Crichton's second explanation is land-use change, via urban heat islands and forest clearing. Here, Crichton appears to misinterpret or simply ignore the scientific literature. As mentioned earlier, Crichton exaggerates the influence of urban heat islands on global temperature trends, despite the existence of a number of scientific studies demonstrating negligible effects of urbanization. In fact, the best available research on this issue indicates that urbanization does have a net warming influence, but at most accounts for perhaps 0.1 °F of the 1.4 °F warming that has occurred in the past 150 years. A character in the novel states that converting forest to agriculture/grasslands causes warming, which is true. Deforestation has had a net warming effect due almost entirely to the large amount of CO2 that forest clearing has released into the atmosphere, which equals less than half of the of CO2 that has been emitted from the burning of fossil fuels. Other effects of deforestation, such as changes in the reflectivity of the earth's surface and emission of fine particles to the atmosphere, have actually had a small cooling effect, thus reducing the overall warming effect of deforestation.
As a third explanation, Crichton acknowledges a role for greenhouse gases, although he argues this will be a "minor component" of future climate change, rather than a driver of the changes already observed to date. In so doing, he ignores the large body of scientific literature that has already linked global (and increasingly even regional) climate change to human emissions of greenhouse gases, and the fact that there is very little debate regarding the existence of an anthropogenic influence – even among skeptics [e.g., see Roger Pielke Jr.'s blog entry of 12/27/04 at http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/].
Climate Models – How Large is the Disagreement? Crichton points out in his appendix that the projections of warming from different climate models vary by 400%, suggesting models do not, and cannot, agree on future climate change. What Crichton is really saying is that the high estimate from IPCC's projected range for 2100 (5.8oC) is 400% greater than its lowest estimate (1.4oC). This isn't a valid expression of model variation or uncertainty. The variation around the average warming projected by the IPCC of 3.6oC is about 60%. Perhaps more importantly, the reason for the wide range (1.4-5.8oC) is not due to the models themselves, but the use of a range of emissions scenarios. The rate of future warming is not solely a function of the response of the climate system to greenhouse gases, but also the future atmospheric concentrations of those gases, which is a function of population growth, economic development, and technological change. Crichton also inserts a number of disparaging comments about climate modeling throughout the book. He refers specifically to the absence of real world data, the lack of model testing and validation, and the lack of independent assessments of model performance. Here Crichton seems unaware that the discussion of climate model validation is a common feature of publications utilizing these models and model errors and biases are often explicitly quantified and described. Similarly, Crichton appears unaware of the various model comparison, evaluation, and validation projects that currently exist. For example, the Program for Climate Model Diagnosis and Intercomparison at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has been conducting model comparison and validation tests since 1989 (including the climate models used by the IPCC), and published a publicly available report of its research in the summer of 2004. [see http://www-pcmdi.llnl.gov/ ]
Crichton's Personal Views – Where Does the Author Stand? In his appendix, Crichton offers his personal views on climate change. He acknowledges that the world is warming and that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 are increasing, but argues that no one knows how much of the observed warming is due to natural versus human forces. Further, because it is impossible to know exactly how much warming the world will experience a century from now, he argues that his guess is just as credible as the projections from any scientist. By this argument, if my doctor is not 100% certain of his diagnosis of my medical condition, then I'm just as well served by self-diagnosis via random guess.
Crichton also states that fossil fuels will reach their demise regardless of the efforts of politicians or environmentalists, future populations will be better off, and environmental principles represent unfair attempts to prevent the developing world from achieving the standard of living obtained by the developed world. Here, Crichton is encapsulating the arguments of the late Julian Simon, which have recently been resurrected by Bjorn Lomborg (The Skeptical Environmentalist). Crichton goes on to warn about the dangers of politicizing science, arguing (citing Eugenics as a case in point) that the insertion of subjective values into science corrupts the scientific process leading to bad policy decisions. Instead, all values should be eliminated from scientific endeavors, scientists should be dispassionate, objective analysts and suppress the temptation to use science to advocate for or against certain policies or actions.
Crichton concludes by stating that the policy measures currently being implemented or debated to address climate change, "have little basis in fact or science." Actions to address climate change are being advocated by groups with hidden agendas, and those actions will have adverse consequences for others. Apparently, the scientific community is complicit in this behavior, as "open and frank discussion of the data, and of the issues, is being suppressed" by scientists and scientific journals. Crichton does not go as far as to suggest that climate change is a hoax (although he certainly believes the consequences are exaggerated), but rather that climate change is a vehicle that many have seized upon, for various reasons, as a means to an end.
Crichton's frank discussion of his subjective views regarding the issue of climate change provide important context for the novel itself. It's clear that his personal opinions have shaped his portrayal of the environmental community as well as the science of climate change. That he opts out of leveling any of his criticism toward those who politicize science for the sake of dismissing climate change as a non-issue is disappointing. The one-sidedness of his novel and personal comments have actually contributed to further politicization of climate change science, enhancing a phenomenon that Crichton himself argues is ultimately dangerous. As a novelist, this is his prerogative, but the end result is a work of fiction that does little to educate while it seeks to entertain.

After refusing in the past even to acknowledge the existence of memos offering a legal basis for targeting American citizens who've become Al Qaeda leaders, the Obama administration on Thursday agreed to show these documents to members of the congressional intelligence committees. It's a positive step, but doesn't go far enough. The administration owes the public a broader explanation of the legal theories behind drone attacks on Americans who have joined Al Qaeda, such as Anwar al-Awlaki, the radical cleric who was killed in 2011.
The attacks have become a topic of concern surrounding President Obama's nomination of John Brennan, the White House counterterrorism adviser, to head the CIA. Earlier this week, NBC obtained an administration "white paper" outlining its procedures for targeting American citizens who have become "high level" Al Qaeda officials. The paper states that the CIA can strike only if "an informed, high-level official" decides the citizen poses "an imminent threat of violent attack against the United States."

It's the New Year – 2013. Time to kick off your new year's resolution. Losing weight and getting fit are two of the top resolutions.
Some valley gyms have already started to see a spike in new membership.
Did you know the best time to buy a gym membership is actually in December? But these first few months of the year are the busiest and most important for gyms.
"Every year at this time," says Mark Kopoian.
"Everyone comes in starts to work out," says Joel Mercado of Mountainside Fitness.
It's the New Year and that means more people working out, determined to stick to their new year's resolution.
"It takes work and commitment and I think internally, if they're committed to do it they can do it," says Kopoian.
Gyms around the valley are offering deals right now to get you to join.
"Currently we're running a special for zero enrollment," says Mercado.
Mountainside Fitness has a zero enrollment fee special and so does LA Fitness, Lifetime Fitness, and 24-Hour Fitness.
Planet Fitness is offering a $10 down, $10 a month deal. And most yoga and Pilates studios are offering big discounts on their monthly passes.
The mad rush typically ends in March. That's when 80-percent of people give up on their resolution.
"Best advice? Is obvious we talk about what is your goal. Think about your goal, see how fast you're going to get there, it's a consistency you want to do with your life, it's a life change," says Joel Mercado.
Experts say you should try to go to the gym regularly for at least 3 weeks. It takes 21 days to form a habit.

Have seen plenty of Cruise Controls out there, but this one takes the cake. It doesn't require any deep involved installation and it works. I had this while on a 500 mile ride and it made life so much nicer. I was able to relax both hands instead of just the clutch hand. No throttle cramp, nothing uncomfortable. It isn't something that takes a lot of room on the grip either. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for an inexpensive, durable throttle control that works! It will make your ride so much better.Read All Reviews
