HOLYOKE – Zenaida A. Torres' introduction to the second Great Holyoke Block Party was to be strapped into a round contraption that looked like a giant ball and spun around and upside down.
"It was awesome. I loved it," said Torres, 11, of Chicopee. "I felt like I was in mid-air."
The Orbittron was one of many events offered at the block party sponsored by Citizens for the Revitalization and Urban Success of Holyoke on Sunday at Veterans Park on Dwight Street.
This is the second year the group, which is focused on improving downtown, has held the block party. Those who attended reported better organization, more events for children and families, more food choices and more people attending.
Glenroy B. Buchanan, an employee of the Pioneer Valley/New England Growers Co-op, nearly sold out of peppers, watermelons, apples and tomatoes by 4 p.m. He said his introduction to the block party was hearing a klezmer band preparing when he was setting up at 11 a.m.
"It was a good opener," he said. "They did a song with introduction (story) about the mills and it cut across all the ethnic groups."
He said he liked the wide variety of music offered this year. The fair also featured bands playing hip hop, Latin jazz, punk and other music.
Since it was the second year of the event, it made it easier for Buchanan because he had a better idea of what people wanted and could cater specifically to requests for fruits, peppers and tomatoes.
City Councilor Aaron Vega, a member of the citizens group and one of the block party organizers, said the second year brought a lot more vendors and more community groups set up informational tables. The event also featured a tour of the Victory Theatre, which is being renovated, and the new Holyoke Transportation Center.
"Our whole mission is to make downtown Holyoke a good place to live, work and have fun," he said.
The murder of 16-year-old Jean Carlos Lauger at about 4 a.m. on Walnut Street, seven hours and a few streets away from where the Block Party started, cast a pall over the event.
"This is a piece of what we hope will alleviate the violence in Holyoke," Vega said.
Robert M. Beringer walked two blocks from his home to attend the party and said he found it to be a lot of fun.
"We should have something here. It is great to have something," he said.

Northern Lebanon graduate Chad Schulze wasn't on the second episode of "Big Break Mexico" for very long Monday night.
That's not a bad thing.
The former Millersville University golfer went the distance in the first episode, winning the advantage challenge to avoid penalizing his Maya teammates.
In the second episode of the Golf Channel's popular competition show, Schulze came up clutch from 40 yards to give Team Maya all of the points it needed to win immunity. When his approach shot landed about 5 feet from the pin, and he made the putt, Team Maya had the first points of the round and the other two teams didn't come close to matching Schulze's team.
Schulze did his sideways "happy dance" after the putt fell and viewers didn't have another chance to watch his unique pre-hit routine.
He talks to himself. A lot.
"Nobody's here, nobody's around," Schulze said as he lined up his putt.
His unique demeanor on the show causes his opponents to scratch their heads and his teammates to hope he keeps it up.
"Chad was definitely cheery the whole time, and he had reason to be," one teammate said during a group gathering after the first day's competition. "I hope he brings that to every competition."
Schulze brought it for the immunity challenge, when his approach shot led to a "he has nerves of steel" comment from another teammate.
A former Millersville University teammate said Schulze isn't putting on a show for "Big Break" audiences. It really is his personality.
"The man knows the game of golf and has fun playing it. How he is on the show is how he plays, carefree and tries to lose the pressure of it," the former Marauder said of Schulze in an email last week.
Schulze and his Maya teammates spent most of the show on the sidelines, watching as Team Aztec chalked up another strike against it. That means when the show decides it's going to hold an elimination challenge, at least two Aztecs will be on the block.
Next week is the popular wall challenge. Anyone who has played golf has encountered that shot when they had to hit over a bunker, or a stream or a tree and land it softly on the green.
Episode 3 forces the "Big Break Mexico" contestants to hit over one of three walls just a few yards in front of them. It's one of the most popular challenges each season.

2013 Futura 131
I would like to buy a 2013 Futura 121(lts) but unfortunately only the 131(lts) CARBON model is available. So I am worried whether it is the right board for me.
I weight 80(kgs) mainly sailing at long distance events. The peculiarity of these windsurfing sessions is the wide wind range. You can start with a light breeze (10-12 knots) and during the open sea part chops and (22-28 knots) can be faced. The most common sail I use is a 2-cams 7.8 freerace sail. Another issue is the upwind performance and I hope my new Futura to go deep into the wind.
A Futura 131 is definitely a stable platform when wind drops. But is it possible for a 80kgs to have a controllable session when wind raises (20-25 knots).
Thank you !

BIRMINGHAM -- Cherokee County quarterback Coty Blanchard led his team to its first state title this season, winning the Class 4A championship as the Warriors finished as the AHSAA's only 15-0 squad.
He added an exclamation point -- for himself and his team -- on Wednesday.
Blanchard won the 2009 Mr. Football award by edging Demopolis running back DaMarcus James in the closest voting in the award's 28-year history.
Blanchard passed for 2,916 yards and 35 touchdowns and ran for another 1,161 and 20 TDs in 2009 to become the first Cherokee County player named Mr. Football.
"It's been a magical year," he said moments after receiving the award. "To get it, it tops everything -- everything besides winning a state championship.
"Nothing is better than my teammates back home."
But the day was bittersweet for the Jacksonville State commitment.
Blanchard's father, Fran, was unable to attend the ceremony after undergoing emergency abdominal surgery earlier this week. Blanchard's maternal grandparents teared up and hugged one another as Coty Blanchard's name was announced as Mr. Football, while Cherokee County coach Tripp Curry hastily sent text messages to Fran Blanchard.
"I know it's killing him not to be here," Curry said.
Blanchard received 15 first-place votes for the award, while James had 5. Prattville safety Nick Perry finished third in the voting, followed by Cordova's Ryan Smith and Theodore linebacker C.J. Mosley.
Blanchard is the seventh quarterback to win the Mr. Football award in the past nine years and is the first 4A player to win the award since Alexandria's Mac Campbell in 1997.
The banquet featured the 14 backs and linemen of the year, one of each from the AHSAA's six classifications and the AISA.
Several players from southwest Alabama were honored, including Mosley (6A lineman of the year), UMS-Wright's Jay Prosch (4A lineman of the year), T.R. Miller's Johntae Brown (3A lineman of the year), Millry quarterback Dylan Whitsett (2A back of the year) and Linden's Kendarius Fritts (1A back of the year).
But the day belonged to Blanchard, who plans to play football and baseball at Jacksonville State.
"The guys on that list, none of them won Mr. Football by going 0-10, and Coty knows that," said Curry, whose quarterback also led the way for an Alabama win in the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic at Ladd-Peebles Stadium in December. "Coty is such a team player. Great teams have great players. He always put the team first."
The Mr. Football award is sponsored by the Alabama Sports Writers Association, and the banquet was sponsored by Hibbett Sporting Goods.
The Mr. Football award winners have been:
1982: Tommy Compton, Vigor, QB
1983: Freddie Weygand, Emma Sansom, WR

The table of food included hard boiled eggs, ham and rye bread, pickled beets, cheeses, pickled herring, and a multitude of homemade cookies. The ladies of the lodge worked hard to prepare the food and set the wonderful table for all. All those attending enjoyed the variety of foods. The Swedish table blessing was given by past cultural leader Allie Nelson Withers, who gave the blessing in Swedish and English.

AKRON, Ohio -- The mantra for the Browns after the front office shakeup earlier this year was "Play like a Brown." The offense took that to heart on Saturday. Unfortunately, they played too much like recent Browns -- failing to execute in the red zone, settling for field goals and turning the ball over.
So it went on a Saturday morning with rain looming at Infocision Stadium. Offensive struggles or not, there's a wide receiver battle to watch and with Josh Gordon still very much in limbo, the importance of the battle continues to loom large.
Notable plays
- Miles Austin makes a catch for 17 yards on third and long from Brian Hoyer. Austin later made a catch for seven yards from Hoyer on the left side. Austin added 11 more yards from Hoyer towards the end of the scrimmage.
- Willie Snead made a first-down catch for 15 yards on a fourth down try.
- Two receivers were able to make plays on Johnny Manziel scrambles. Jonathan Krause made a catch on the sideline for five yards with Manziel scrambling right. Marlon Moore made a grab on the right sideline for a gain of seven.
- Andrew Hawkins was mostly quiet. His one opportunity came on a throw behind the line of scrimmage. Hawkins was unable to create space and lost six.
- Charles Johnson had a shot at what would have been the day's only offensive touchdown on a strike from Manziel at the goal line. Johnson dropped it.
The verdict: Saturday was a tough day to judge the offense. The day's best receiver may have been linebacker Barkevious Mingo, who hauled in a tipped pass for an interception in the second half.
Said Hoyer of Austin after the scrimmage: "We're always talking and he always almost gets down on himself too much. ... I've developed a good relationship with him and he looks great."
Quarterbacks need receivers they can rely on, even if they don't always make spectacular plays. Based on that, Austin wins the day
- Who won Saturday: The cornerback battle
- Who won Sunday: The running back battle
- Won won Monday: The wide receiver battle
- Who won Tuesday: The linebacker battle
- Who won Thursday: The cornerback battle
- Who won Friday: The running back battle

Kites, camera, action
Ever thought of using a kite to click pictures? Probably not. It might seem right out of a James Bond movie, but French photographer Nicolas Chorier specialises in kite aerial photography. Based out of Puducherry, Chorier's firm, Kite's Eye View Private Limited, has so far taken several thousand aerial pictures of almost all major heritage sites, buildings and monuments in India and Uzbekistan. Interestingly, another French photographer, Arthur Batut, was the first to start experimenting with this technique, back in 1888 in Labruguière, a small village in Southern France. However, Chorier has used the latest advances in technology to elevate it to the level of art.
Name a major monument in the country and Chorier promptly produces a wide range of aerial images shot in unusual and astonishing angles. His list includes Taj Mahal, Jama Masjid, Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai, the entire Union Territory of Puducherry and beaches in Kerala. Chorier has even completed a UNESCO commissioned project shooting the city of Luang Prabang in Laos along the banks of the Mekong River to survey erosion-related issues in 2004. He also undertook an aerial survey on Matto Grosso, third largest state in Brazil in 2001-02 for an agronomic research department.
The equipment, says the ace photographer, is simple enough to procure. All you need are specially-designed kites that carry cameras mounted on a small cradle to shoot breathtaking pictures of anything and everything under the sun. As for the technique, Chorier flies the kite to a desired height (about 100 feet) and when it starts gliding in the air he sends his camera (Canon 5D MarkII) mounted on a small cradle, up on the line, under the kite. The best part? Chorier operates the cradle with a remote control to move it in all possible directions. An air-to-ground video link sends images to a portable television screen strapped on his neck allowing him to pick amazing views. "The camera can be lifted up to 250 m. But low altitudes are often more interesting, " says Chorier adding, "The kites' precision and potential provide an exciting, cost effective and innovative solution for any type of aerial photography, from the ground or from a boat in motion, like tracking smoking vessels or wildlife. "
Not surprisingly, Chorier has always been passionate about kites and photography. "I started flying kites about 25 years ago and I practised photography as an amateur. It was only natural to combine the two (in 1996), " he explains. Slowly he developed interest in a wide range of disciplines including archaeology, architecture, agronomy, tourism, heritage and wildlife to name a few. "Each of these applications led me to devise tailor-made hardware and photography techniques, which I am constantly improving. Each new venture brings me into contact with dedicated and highly knowledgeable specialists, " he adds.
Besides being non-polluting and nonintrusive, working with kites also allows Chorier to remain stationary over a site for a few hours, thus enabling him to take many high-resolution pictures at different angles. "It is also easy to carry the aerial platform anywhere in the world, without any hassles. It fits in regular cases and can be operational in 10 minutes, " says Chorier, who has widely exhibited his works in France, Europe, USA, Malaysia and India. Perhaps why he likes this technique so much is because it needs few square inches of fabric, little technical know-how, simple equipment and a gentle breeze. "Moreover I really like the idea of using natural energy. I wouldn't feel the same if I was using helium or any other gas for a blimp or kerosene, " he adds.
Photography is not Chorier's only accomplishment, he has written a coffee-table book, Kite's Eye View, India in 2007, published by Roli Books. The book was a product of 12 years of intensive kite aerial photography covering all major landmarks in the country. As expected, 30, 000 copies of the book have been sold worldwide. (More details about his works are available on his website http:// www. nicopix. com. )
Clearly, with an eye for beauty and digital cameras, the soaring idea of kite-based aerial photography has morphed many flights of fantasy into an artful reality.

Port Orchard man accused of second-degree rape
Judge Stephen J. Holman this week set bail at $50,000 for a 22-year-old Port Orchard man accused of rape in the second degree.
The same suspect had been arrested for third-degree malicious mischief on March 12. Around 10:58 p.m., that day, Port Orchard police arrived at a Myhre's Restaurant on Bay Street and met with the man's ex-girlfriend.
She said she had seen her boyfriend and went outside to her car. He followed her, she said.
She sat in the driver's seat while he spoke with several other people in their group, then he "was at the driver's door and leaned in, wanting a kiss," according to the statement of probable cause.
"(She) told him, 'no,'" according to the statement. "He wanted to know why she wouldn't be with him, and she told him she didn't love him."
Then, she said, he stood up and allegedly punched her driver's mirror, damaging it.
Then on May 1, police received a report that he had raped a 20-year-old woman.
The woman reported she had been "extremely intoxicated, to the degree that she was vomiting and at times during the morning she lost presence of mind."
But she said she remembered telling the man that she didn't want to go into his bedroom.
A witness allegedly said she saw him drag her into the bedroom, and she heard the victim yelling "no" and "ouch."
Police arrested the man, and his bail was initially set at $150,000.
Holman subsequently reduced it to $50,000, considering that he's worked for his father's company for six years, he's lived in the area for his whole life and he has no known criminal conviction history.
His father attended the hearing at which the bail was set, and promised he'd monitor his son to make sure he didn't get into trouble again.

MINOT AIR FORCE BASE Work is winding down on the reconstruction of the Minot Air Force Base runway, base officials said.
Sundt Construction Inc., an Arizona firm, was awarded the more than $32 million contract for the runway repairs and improvement to the center section of the runway. This is the last section of the three-phase runway project to be completed. Work on the east and west ends were finished in the previous two years.
On April 1 the runway was closed down to aircraft. Several B-52s are temporarily operating out of Ellsworth AFB at Rapid City, S.D., and others are on a deployment at Andersen AFB in Guam. Some B-52s and aircrews have remained at Minot AFB in a ready status in case they are needed.

Sundt Construction employees have spent the past several months working on reconstruction to the center section of the Minot Air Force Base runway, shown here July 9. The project is winding down and soon B-52s that have been operating out of South Dakota and Guam will be returning. The west and east ends of the runway were completed in the previous two years.
Minot AFB's runway was built in 1957 and originally intended for only a 30-year service life.
The reconstruction project was one of the top infrastructure projects in the Air Force following a study done in 2011 in which the Air Force Civil Engineering Support Agency ranked Minot AFB's runway as the worst in the Air Force out of 21 installations, with the runway's quality being rated as "poor," according to Minot AFB Public Affairs information.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is being planned for the end of the month, base officials said.
All the planes that were in Guam and at Ellsworth for past months will be returning shortly after the construction is finished.

text: It's hard to believe a week has come and gone so quickly. I'm glad to be home but I already miss the beach. I'm catching up on emails and phone calls. We had a great vacation. Here are a last few photos to share. This was a really cool beach shop in Corpus. I love mermaids and so just had to stop and take pictures of this sculpture. We played miniature golf that night too next door and had a great time except for the gigantic mesquitos that were trying to eat us alive. Guy had brough his "camera" to the beach too. He decided he also needed to take pictures! He proclaimed that he was also a photographer! I keep telling him no baby… you want to be a DOCTOR!! LOL Everytime I tried taking a picture of him he kept taking pictures of me. I suppose I should download his photos and see what kind a pictures he took! LOL Now I just have to find his camera! Then there is one of my brother in law and of my nephew! Of course I love all the boys in their hawaiian shirts! It's a classic! The next photos are of Shelby Lane, me and some of her kiddos. They came out on Saturday. Shelby had a beach session so I played with the kids while she was photographing. They had a blast! I wish we had more time that day. Then lastly the cousin's playing on the computer! They spent a lot of time playing at Cartoon Network. Guy really loves the computer. He's sooo computer savvy. He launches the browser goes to the favorites knows which are the bookmarks he likes to go to. He has figured out what keys do what on these games. He really loves computers. A programmer is a good profession too! LOL Back to the grind! It will be a busy week playing catch up!!

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. --- The New York City Districting Commission will hold a second round of public hearings, including one on Staten Island, as it redraws City Council district boundaries.
The commission is looking for public comment on the preliminary draft of district lines released on Sept. 4.
That draft showed the Island with self-contained Council districts for the first time in 30 years. Under the plan, Councilman James Oddo (R-Mid-Island/Brooklyn) would lose constituents he had represented in Brooklyn.
The Island meeting will be held on Oct. 9 at 5:30 p.m. at New Dorp High School. Meetings will also be held in the other four boroughs.
"The commission is excited to receive feedback from the public on the preliminary draft map published in early September," said commission chair Benito Romano. "As the districting process unfolds, the commission is hopeful that the final district map will accurately reflect our city's population and more importantly, our communities."
District lines are redrawn every decade to reflect population shifts seen in the U.S. Census.
Preliminary lines have the North Shore district with 160,931 residents; the Mid-Island with 154,092, and the South Shore with 153,553.
Online versions of the preliminary maps can be viewed on the commission's website.
Hard-copy versions of the maps will be also available for viewing at all five Borough Halls and at main library branches.
The commission must submit its final plan to the Council by November.

I have been reading on this forum for the past few days, and have seen so much support and advice. I wanted to post my situation and get some advice and opinions on what I should do.
My son is 2 1/2 weeks old, and I have been bf since he was born. He has a fussy period in the evenings, but from reading other posts, I see that's normal. Even if I switched him to formula, I don't think that would change.
I have inverted nipples, and have to use a nipple shield for him to latch on. It was very painful at first because the adhesions I had were tearing so the nipple could come out. It got much better, and was only painful in the very beginning of the feeding for a minute or so, but the past few days it has become really painful again. I am not sure if that is because he has been on the breast almost constantly the past few days, or if it may be thrush. He has a doctor's appt this afternoon, so I"m going to talk with him about that.
I can only bf for the first 8 weeks because then I return to work and won't be able to pump there. I know I will have to start weaning him before then, but by that point he should be all formula. I keep seeing on these posts that the first 6 weeks are the hardest, so I question if it is worth my sticking it out only to have to stop completely at 8 weeks?
Also, if I do decide to continue, can I bf at night and do formula during the day? Is that still beneficial to him? I know bf is better than formula, but I"m in so much pain, and I worry that it's a waste of my time when I know I have to start weaning him in a few weeks to have him be completely on formula by 8 weeks...
Any advice is much appreciated -- thank you!

ERIE - It all came together.
Warren had suffered three defeats in three years to Fort LeBoeuf in the District 10 title game - including a heartbreaker in 10 innings last year, but that was yesterday. The Dragons jumped on the Bison early and often Monday in a 10-0, five-inning win in this year's D10 Class AAA final at Penn State Behrend.
"It just feels like everything came together, and it feels really great," said Warren senior third baseman Kennedy Walter, who scored three runs and had two of the Dragons' 13 hits. "I love these guys - they're my family. I wouldn't want to play with anyone else."

Swing of things
Warren senior Kaitlin Ishman gets into a pitch during the Dragons' 10-0, five-inning District 10 Class AAA championship game win over Fort LeBoeuf on Monday at Penn State Behrend.
And no one wanted to be left out. Warren scored seven runs on eight hits in the bottom of the fourth inning, and senior pitcher Alexa Bupp needed just one more half inning to close the door on the program's first District 10 title since 2010.
The program has been to six straight District 10 championship games under head coach Mark Bupp, but this group of seniors, including the pitcher for the past four years, Alexa Bupp, had not won a title. Until Monday.
She was nearly unhittable for the Dragons, allowing three baserunners in four innings.
"After the last three years, we knew we had to come in ready for anything, and we did," said Alexa Bupp. "It's a great feeling knowing that we all have each other's backs no matter what. We knew that today we had to all bring our 'A' game, and I think everybody did."
Fort LeBoeuf senior catcher Kelsey Kuzma has been on all of the Bison's past three title-winning teams, and had four hits in last year's win. She started this one out with a fly ball to right hauled in by Lauren Frazier for the first out of the game.
With two outs in the first, Jolene Young hit a hard line drive to left off a changeup that was misplayed for two bases. Bupp retired the next eight in a row. She finished with nine strikeouts and two walks over five no-hit innings.
Warren senior Kaitlin Ishman has also played in four straight D10 title games, and gave the Dragons a jump start in the bottom of the first with an inside-the-park home run.
Ishman always plays with emotion, but said that home run was extra special.
After the passing of her father and brother in the past year, she said the Dragons had "two angels looking out for them.
"Every time I go to the plate I say, 'here we go, Dad,'" said Ishman. "I think about them all the time... especially after the home run."
The victory seemed destined from the start, but it was still just 1-0 Warren. After Walter walked from the two spot, Bupp doubled her in to make it 2-0 in the first.
LeBoeuf senior Hannah Cass was one of three pitchers to see time in the circle this season after Amanda Krolczyk, who graduated, led the Bison to the 10-inning win last year. While Warren faced freshman starter Madison Vorpagel in two regular-season wins, Cass beat Hickory in the D10 semifinals Thursday and earned the nod Monday. She settled down to retire six of the next seven Dragons with Warren winning 2-0 after two-and-a-half innings.
Walter led off the bottom of the third with a single and was bunted to second by Bupp. Fort LeBoeuf chose to avoid clean-up hitter Paige Wilson and intentionally walked her. With two outs, freshman Megan Wortman came up with a big RBI double for a 3-0 lead.
In the bottom of the fourth, Frazier, Alexis Munksgard, Walter, Bupp, Meghan Loutzenhiser, Wortman, Kathryn Lobdell, and Frazier again had hits to break the game wide open. Munksgard almost had a second hit, but an interference call on a Warren baserunner ended the inning.
Bupp and Lobdell each had two-run doubles in the frame, and the damage was done. Loutzenhiser, Wortman and Frazier had two-out hits.
Frazier, who was out last year with an ACL tear and became team manager, was 3-for-3 in this one. She worked out on the track at the YMCA all winter for this moment.
"Every time I go jogging, I know it's helping me to run the bases harder for my team," she said.
Alexa Bupp was 2-for-2 with two doubles and three RBI, Walter 2-for-2 with three runs, Wortman 2-for-3 with two RBI, and every Dragon reached base, including nine of 11 in the fourth.
"We just knew," said Walter. "I think the first time we stepped in the gym this year, we just knew this was our year."
Almost every Dragon has a story, but coach Mark Bupp has insisted this group didn't need any extra motivation.
"I'm proud of all of them," he said. "Their resiliency, their willingness from day one to step in and work hard... and these kids just never lost focus. We've talked about it time and time again as a staff, that they just held their focus, they held their willingness to work hard. I think that showed throughout the entire season, and it showed here today.
"We always talk about being able to learn from the past, but focus on the future, and these kids have bought into that," said coach Bupp. "Certainly, there were some trials and tribulations, but I think it helped build a lot of character in these kids. This is a group that's hung together and worked together through several things. I think what makes it sweeter is we beat a team that went to the state finals last year, and it's a quality program and we beat two quality programs in our playoff bracket... to come out and dominate (Fort LeBoeuf) like we did today is very satisfying. I really hope the kids in Warren can appreciate what they've had an opportunity to see over the course of, not just this year, but the last three to four years. There's been a lot of people putting in a ton of hours. I just want to thank everybody that's been a part of this journey for these kids."
Warren advances to the PIAA tournament June 2 to play the District 7 third-place team, the winner of Greensburg Salem and Elizabeth Forward, which play on Tuesday.

P.G. Ford, G.H. Pettengill (MIT)
CO2 clouds in the Martian polar night have been monitored by the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) Laser Altimeter experiment (MOLA) and used to derive a catalog of cloud locations and morphologies that spans the period from March 1998 to July 2001. For much of that time, the MGS Thermal Emission Spectrometer experiment (TES) viewed Mars from the same nadir direction as MOLA at wavelengths between 5.8 and 67\mum. Following the method first adopted by Kieffer et al., polar TES measurements have been interpolated to 15, 18, and 25\mum wavelengths, representing emission dominated, respectively, by an atmospheric region at about 20±5 km altitude; by the lowest scale height above the Martian surface; and by the surface itself. The MOLA cloud catalog has been combined with TES data to create polar maps of emission temperature when MOLA clouds were not observed, at intervals of 10\circ in Ls, and at each of the three chosen TES wavelengths. The cloud catalog was used again to determine emission temperatures at those times when MOLA and, by inference, TES, were observing CO2 clouds. The average temperature difference between the times when clouds were present and absent is significant at 18 and 25\mum, but not noticeable at 15\mum.

Braking News: Motorway (2012)
Posted by R. Emmet Sweeney on September 4, 2012
Car chase movies are necessarily clamorous things, as they orchestrate squealing rubber, huffing pistons and the screams of crumpling steel. Which is why Motorway (2012), the new film from Hong Kong director Soi Cheang now out on HK Blu-Ray, is so unusual. It's a particularly quiet automobile action movie, focused on the finesse of driving. The defining technique of the film is a 90 degree hairpin turn executed at 8,000 RPMs but only 2 Kilometers/hr. It requires great power exerted with careful, slow consideration, which holds true for the film as a whole. Pared down to a sleek 89 minutes during a prolonged two-year post-production process, back-stories and subplots were removed in favor of a film with narrative lines as clean as the '89 Nissan 240 SX S13 that the traffic cops are unable to stop.
Motorway is the second film that Soi Cheang has made for Johnnie To's Milkyway Studios, after the elaborately entertaining assassin drama Accident (2009). Where that is a clever expansion of the hitman movie, with its complicated Rube Goldberg made-to-look-like-accidents killings, Motorway is a reduction. Each of its characters is reduced to genre archetypes, with the audience using its knowledge of previous car chase films to fill in their background. The main driver is Chan Cheung (Shawn Yue), a speed freak gearhead who also works for the traffic cops in Kowloon. His partner is Lo Fung (the ever stone-faced Anthony Wong), who is near-retirement but is still haunted by the getaway driver Jiang (Guo Xiaodong) who escaped him decades previously. So of course that wheelman returns to Kowloon in order to spring his imprisoned pal Huang (Li Haitao), in order to set up the heist of a large diamond.
They are defined by their jobs and the roles as established by previous films. The enigmatic Jiang is descended straight from Ryan O'Neal in The Driver, whose every press of the accelerator seems to assuage some deep existential dread, while Chan, with his souped up vehicle and late night drag races, is a fugitive from the hyperactive Fast and Furious series – a hot-headed punk over his head. But while the characters are familiar, the chase scenes are not. They are uncannily intimate affairs, always at night under flickering neon lights, and they are paced and fought like duels. Cheang makes much out of dramatic pauses and rests. Jiang is constantly finding holes in the city to rest in, from the back of a truck to the obscured spot in a parking garage. There is a sense of vehicles as an extension of their bodies, no more so when Lo Fung rolls down his window in an effort to hear his adversary more than see him, as the darkening night corrodes his vision. The repeated close-ups of the engine block throbs with the energy of a heartbeat.
It is a thrillingly organic film, in which the lines of a map which Jiang is tracing morphs into the lines of the road, of the car, and of the street. And all of this rather quietly rendered structure does not diminish the impact of the chases. Using a camera attached low to the ground, Cheang and his cameraman capture the stunt-drivers locking horns through the streets of Hong Kong. I only detected CG in one shot, in which a car nearly tips over a cliff. Everything else was, at least in the movie-verse, authentic. Cheang told Edmund Lee at Time Out HK what he was going for:
You can sense the characters' human qualities through their driving styles. Jiang is elusive and fond of trickery in his ancient S13, while Chan favors a more barreling forward damn-the-torpedoes style in the police sedan. Lo Fung is harder to pin down, as he is only given one opportunity to show his driving chops, called back to the wheel after decades of refusal. He prefers a more sensorial style, as indicated when he turns off the AC and lowers the window. But everything can fail, especially when one depends on machines.
For in Motorway crashes have devastating impact, the steel frames of cars as permeable as skin. The more the vehicles are mastered and become extensions of drivers' bodies, the more vulnerable they become. Every protagonist is either bruised, battered or dead by the end, with Jiang's rabbit-punches keeping Chan off-guard until a final showdown on a pier, in which both woozy fighters circle each other in a screeching pas de deux. Motorway is a brooding original which turns the manic breathlessness of a car chase into a subtle duel of personalities.

I read a rave review of the film a couple of months ago and I'm glad to know that now it's out on DVD and on blou-ray yet. Ordering a copy today
Posted By swac44 : September 4, 2012 4:43 pm
Hope a North American release for Motorway happens soon. Nice shout-out for Ringo Lam's Full Alert, I think Lam is an underappreciated master of the modern thriller/action film and is ripe for reappraisal (I've read that he retired from filmmaking after co-directing 2007′s Triangle with Tsui Hark and Johnnie To). Any director who can manage the best film of Jean Claude Van Damme's theatrical heyday (Maximum Risk) deserves to have his best work seen by more eyes (can't say I've seen his more recent JCVD collaborations Replicant or In Hell.

Thanks for writing about this movie! As soon as I read the comparison to THE DRIVER, one of my favorite car chase movies, I just knew I had to see this. While the dialogue is not as strong as The Driver, (Bruce Dern and Ryan O'Neil are terrific), the authentic driving and characters in tune with their vehicles more than makes up for it. I really liked it and will watch it again. If only last year's DRIVE had spent as much time behind the wheel as MOTORWAY. It's nice to see there' s others out there who appreciate non-cgi car movies. Some of my faves include RONIN, BULLITT, DIRTY MARY CRAZY LARRY, TO LIVE AND DIE IN LA, THE DRIVER, THE MASTER TOUCH.
Posted By Sergio : September 5, 2012 12:09 pm
Which is why I want to see Motorway so much. I LOVE The Driver. Brilliant film and I have yet to see anything that matches. Light years far superior to a pretentious load of crap like Drive.
A few months ago the Film Society at Lincoln Center in N.Y. showed a new restored print of the film with Walter Hill is person. Could this mean a blu-ray is coming out in the future? The Last Run car sequences aren't that bad either. And Dirty Mary is in a class all by itself
Posted By swac44 : September 5, 2012 1:31 pm
Somewhere I have an old VHS tape simply titled CHASE! with favourite scenes from movies like The French Connection, Bullitt and The Seven Ups. It made for good video wallpaper at parties and so on, I think maybe even Freebie and the Bean made the cut. There's just something about a '70s car chase with those classic metal behemoths screaming away.
Now if only there could be a BD/DVD release of the first Gone in 60 Seconds with the original soundtrack left intact.

Linglestown square in Lower Paxton Township will be closed again beginning March 28.
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials said eastbound Route 39 will be closed because construction crews are building two traffic circles and repaving the road. North Mountain Road also will be reconstructed in the vicinity of Linglestown Road
This work completes the project that began in the fall of 2009.
A signed detour will direct eastbound traffic around the closure on Linglestown Road by way of Progress Avenue to northbound Interstate 81 to Exit 77 in West Hanover Township.
Eastbound Route 39 will be open to motorists to Blue Mountain Parkway. The Blue Mountain Parkway bypass that was available last year to motorists will be closed so that the roundabout at the west end of Linglestown can be built.
Despite the closure, businesses in the area will remain open, and accessible from the westbound direction.

Polanco could've made a cash grab
Talked with Dave Dombrowski this afternoon about their decisions on arbitration to free agents, and his remarks echoed the sentiments that were out there. While Dombrowski isn't bidding farewell to Polanco and plans to keep in touch with his agents, the Levinson brothers, he indicated there was a real chance — maybe more than a chance — that Polanco might have accepted an arbitration offer and gone to a hearing.
Good deal, right? The Tigers would get Polanco on a one-year contract.
Actually, it's not that simple.
The risk, Dombrowski said, was that Polanco would go to a hearing and ask for more money than the Tigers would be comfortable doing. It sounds unlikely in this market until you consider long-term contracts last winter for other All-Star second basemen, such as Brian Roberts ($10 million per year) and Dustin Pedroia (6 years, $40.5 million, including $31 million over the final three seasons). They also could've used other free-agent infielders as a reference point.
No fault in doing so; I just wanted to use the term "cash grab" in a headline.
As it is, Polanco instantly becomes a hotter commodity on the market now that teams don't have to give up a first- or second-round Draft pick for him.
The relievers, Fernando Rodney and Brandon Lyon, were a different story. Dombrowski essentially confirmed what others such as agent Barry Meister have suggested, that Rodney and Lyon are looking for multi-year deals and stand a decent chance to get them.
"I would be very surprised if either of them accepted [arbitration]," Dombrowski said.
That said, interestingly, Dombrowski didn't write off Detroit's chances of re-signing them, either. He'll keep in touch with their agents — Rodney is also a Levinson client — and see where it goes. Even as Meister fully expects to get a multi-year deal for Lyon, he said there's mutual interest from the two parties in re-signing.
Could the Tigers be open to a multi-year contract to keep a reliever? I don't think you can write that off quite yet. But they might have to clear some payroll space to do it.
Rodney, Lyon offered arbitration, Rodney not
The Tigers decided to offer arbitration to Type B free agent relievers Fernando Rodney and Brandon Lyon, but not to Type A free agent Placido Polanco.
The announcement ahead of Tuesday night's midnight ET deadline sets the stage for the Tigers to receive compensation picks in next year's First-Year Player Draft if Rodney and/or Lyon sign elsewhere, but nothing in exchange for Polanco.
Though the Tigers had to be tempted by the potential for two compensation picks, there was a logical chance Polanco would have considered arbitration if offered. While a multi-year deal is obviously a huge appeal for the 34-year-old second baseman, arbitration would've almost surely hurt his value on the market. Any other team would've had to give up a first- or second-round Draft pick to sign him, and that would've slowed the market on him. The other pick would've been sandwiched between the first and second rounds.
Moreover, the one-year salary Polanco could've earned in arbitration could have been very tempting. Polanco earned $4.6 million in each of his four full seasons in Detroit as part of an extension he signed in 2005, but contracts signed last offseason for such All-Star second basemen as Boston's Dustin Pedroia and Baltimore's Brian Roberts have come at much larger salaries.
The Tigers are prepared to promote Scott Sizemore, their Minor League Player of the Year, to second base. Sizemore underwent surgery in October after breaking his ankle while playing in the Arizona Fall League, but he's projected to be ready for the start of Spring Training. The Tigers are still free to negotiate with Polanco's representatives and try to re-sign him.
The risk is far less on Lyon and Rodney, since any other team that signs them won't have to give up a draft pick. The compensation picks on them would come at the end of the second round.
Both Rodney and Lyon are looking for multi-year deals and attracting interest along those lines, even in a relief market that can be unpredictable.
Rodney and Lyon have six days to accept or reject arbitration. Given their situations, they'll likely to reject the offers. That won't necessarily close off the Tigers' interest, but it sets the challenge of multi-year offers, something that could require the Tigers to do some of their much-rumored maneuvering to free up payroll.
Lyon's agent, Barry Meister, indicated he has stayed in touch with the Tigers, though talks won't likely progress until teams and agents gather in Indianapolis next week for baseball's Winter Meetings.
"We've each expressed mutual interest," Meister said. "Well have a chance to sit down with them and talk about him at the Winter Meetings."
Detroit's last compensation pick was a first-round sandwich selection for reliever Jamie Walker, who signed quickly with the Orioles following the 2006 season before the Tigers had to decide on arbitration.
Detroit's other three free agents this offseason — Adam Everett, Aubrey Huff and Jarrod Washburn — were not offered arbitration. They didn't qualify as Type A or B free agents, so they wouldn't have brought any compensation picks in return
My guesses on arbitration
Everyone else seems to be playing the guessing game on which free agents the Tigers will offer arbitration, so I figure I might as well chip in with my two cents before the news comes out later today. As much of a financial hit as it could be for the Tigers if Placido Polanco accepted arbitration, I'm just not sure that it's enough to justify passing up on a sandwich pick in next year's draft and possibly a first-rounder if Polanco signs elsewhere. Polanco is at the point where multi-year security looks better than a one-year deal, and I'm not sure his chances at that become much clearer in six days. If there's a concerted drive for the Tigers to bring in more young talent, this might be the simplest way they can do it this winter, so long as they believe Polanco wouldn't accept the offer. But then, that's the big question, isn't it? In the end, it might still be too much of a risk.
Brandon Lyon and Fernando Rodney carry much less risk, since any team that signs them wouldn't have to give up a pick. It's just a supplemental pick or two after the second round in this case. And if you believe that multi-year contracts are big for both of them, there's good reason to believe they wouldn't want it. Everything Lyon's agent, Barry Meister, has said indicates his client will get a multi-year contract. Rodney should, too, but in his case, he's hitting free agency off one big year. If he were to accept arbitration off a 37-save season, the payout could be huge. I like Lyon's chances of being offered arbitration more than that of Rodney, but I'm not sure the Tigers still wouldn't offer it to Rodney.
In the end, the Tigers might offer Lyon and Rodney, but pass on Polanco. Again, just my opinion. We'll see what happens.

It appears that everyone fishing off Island Beach State Park today caught striped bass, most of which appeared to be keepers. Trollers were doing well, but there was no need to grind in bass on wire line as jigging was pretty good. I joined Dennis Glennon of Fort Lee on his Tramp Piper from Brielle Yacht Club along with Capt. Chris De Stefano of Wall, Charles Coviello of Lavallette, and Ted Tomaszewicz from Fort Lee.
We got a late start and missed most of the early bird action off the park -- but later got on a long drift over readings that produced a steady pick that provided a limit of bass over 30 inches along with several other keepers released plus just a few shorts and blues. Glennon had the largest bass at about 20 pounds, and led in hook-ups by reeling slowly halfway to the surface. Almost all of our hits on jigs came well up in the water column. Green and black tails were more effective than white. The bass were full of sand eels.
Mike Koblan of Wall was out there with Stan Angelione on Scarface to limit on bass in 55-foot depths. Joe Reap of Ramsey was doing likewise on his Reaper from Manasquan with Bob Correll of Bay Head.
Capt. Arthur Stokes starting bottom fishing with his Fintastic from Clarks Landing in Point Pleasant and only had a few legal blackfish and sea bass before switching to stripers. Between jigging, and then trolling rigs close to the beach off the park, he came up with an eight-man striper limit.
Capt. Dave DeGennaro reports he's had over 30 bass on his Hi-Flier from Barnegat every day since last week by casting soft plastics such as Fin-S and BKDs. He's running open morning and evening the next couple of days. Call 732 330-5674.
Capt. Jack Shea, of Rambunctious from Waretown, had some good fishing inside Barnegat Inlet last week. When the inlet was unproductive, he fished clam inside the bay for a 28-pound striper boated by Ed Fabrizio.
Betty & Nicks Tackle in Seaside Park reported some stripers being brought into the shop by surfcasters. Anthony Senatore of Jackson caught his first -- an 11 1/4-pounder that was also full of sand eels.
Dave Lilly of Hazlet was passing by West Bank when he saw surface action develop. He trolled Esca-enhanced rigs for a limit of stripers up to 20 pounds before the action died in 45 minutes.
Capt. Stan Zagleski started off slowly with blackfish in shallow water before moving his Elaine B. from Highlands offshore for a one-drop catch of tog and sea bass. Daniel Garcia of Newark won the pool with a 6-pound black.
At Brielle, Capt.Joe Bogan reported sea bass fishing was poor on only two rough days last week. On other days, some anglers aboard Jamaica II caught over 100 sea bass to get their limits of 25 on wrecks 10 to 20 miles offshore. Wesley Shourt of Howell had an 8-pound blackfish, and Dale Isaacs from Manchester boated an 8-pound cod.
Capt. Howard Bogan Jr. will be running a14-hour Wreck-a-thon Tuesday at 4 a.m. on his Jamaica, and a 12-hour wreck trip at 5 a.m. Friday. Call 732 528-5014 for reservations.
Brielle Tackle reports Manasquan Inlet is producing late night stripers from 26 to 32 inches on black Bombers, Tsunami and Storm shads, and live eels -- and blackfish up to 24 inches on green crabs during the day. Skip Boyle landed six stripers up to 32 inches on clams south of Point Pleasant.

RARITAN TWP. — Mannon Paving & Excavating will be extending Autumn Leaf Drive out to Route 12. The contract for the job was awarded Tuesday night to low-bidder Hale Built of Easton, Pa.
But that company has recently acquired Mannon Paving & Excavating of Raritan Township, making it a division of Hale Built. "We'll be dealing with the same people at Mannon that we deal with currently. The only change is the ownership," Township Engineer Tony Hajjar told the Township Committee.
Mannon "is well known to the township and has long experience with our construction projects," he wrote in a memo to the Township Committee, recommending Hale Built get the contract.
The winning bid was for $392,451.89. Five companies bid, and the high bid was for $598,753.20. The estimated price of the job had been $497,000, so officials were pleased with Hale Built's offer.
Hajjar expects the work to begin in early June starting where Autumn Leave Drive currently ends, then proceeding out to the intersection with Route 12 after schools are dismissed for the summer.
The project calls for extending Autumn Leaf Drive behind Heritage Baptist Church out to Route 12, taking over the current intersection with Bonetown Road. Bonetown Road will be reconfigured to end in a T-intersection with Autumn Leaf.
This is the second time the township has received bids for this project; the bids received last July were over budget, and the work was postponed.
Although this plan was made several years ago, last year residents of the development on the south side of Route 12 argued against connecting their community so directly with Route 12. After some reconsideration, the Township Committee decided to proceed with the plan.

When the name Michael Bloomberg is mentioned it is sure to stir all kinds of emotions from all kinds of people who come from all walks of life. If you've been under a rock lately, the honorable mayor of New York City has been the man out front leading the charge on the possible passage of stricter gun control laws, his voice has only become louder since the tragic mass shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Connecticut last December.
Bloomberg made an appearance on "Meet The Press" this past Sunday to once again talk about the need for sensible gun control, and made a promise that Congress will have a vote on an assault weapons ban. "We've been fighting since 2007 to get a vote. We are going to have a vote for sure on assault weapons and we're going to have a vote on background checks, If we were to get background checks only, it wouldn't be as good as if we got both, but look, we demanded a plan and then we demanded a vote. We've got the plan, we're going to get the vote."
In terms of his battle on guns Bloomberg has two things going for him. One is that when your opponent is Wayne LaPierre the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association and a man who has done and said the most ridiculous and infuriating things a human being possibly could, including recently making robo calls to citizens of Newtown to pressure elected officials to reject any new gun laws, garnering public support is made much easier.
The other thing is America is undoubtedly weary of the mass violence caused by firearms over the last two decades. Columbine, Aurora, Oak Creek, and countless incidents of random violence in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Bloomberg's own New York have tilted the scales in favor of stricter gun control amongst the American public.
Bloomberg's advocacy for gun control is the equivalent of a blind squirrel finding a nut when you take into account his entire reign as New York's top diplomat though.
At the same time he is trying to negate the NRA's power and influence Bloomberg was also in the middle of what has been described by some as sodagate, A law in NYC that would limit the size of a soft drink that an individual could purchase.
Bloomberg claimed that this was him doing his part to counteract America and New York's overwhelming problem with obesity which is fine by me, until you get to the part where the ban would only apply to small convenient stores, hurting and then possibly driving them out of business, while excluding large chain stores like 7-Eleven and supermarkets, which is the epitome of a politician looking out for giant corporations who contribute to his campaign coffers.
Bloomberg is the man who has now made the phrase "Stop and Frisk" a household name. Stop and Frisk is the name for a controversial practice used by the NYPD to stop individuals who they think have committed, are in the process of committing or about to commit a crime. There is absolutely no surprise that these stops are routinely operated on young black and brown men, a countless number of whom because of possession of small amounts of marijuana are placed into the criminal justice system.
The Mayor has been anything but defensive on Stop and Frisk saying last summer that "I understand why some people have called for stops to be eliminated entirely, but there is no denying that stops take guns off the street and save lives…I believe the practice needs to be mended, not ended, to ensure that stops are conducted appropriately, with as much courtesy as possible.
This despite the fact that a high ranking police officer was heard on surveillance telling other officers that a certain number of stops needed to be made to fulfill the self imposed quota that the Department had going, during a federal trial over the merits of the program last week.
Of about the five million stops made over the past decade only about 10% of those individuals were arrested and very few weapons were confiscated. When you take into account the comments by the Mayor and Police Commissioner Ray Kelly though, the program is a long way from being stopped.
A businessman who believes in free trade, is pro business and has a penchant for balancing a budget. A supporter of strict drug laws, who doesn't think marijuana should be decriminalized. Mandatory minimum jail terms, no problem, mayoral control over public schools, yes please. Thank god this guy never decided to run for the top job.
If I've learned anything it's that in order to see Michael Bloomberg in the most positive light possible I'll have to think of Wayne LaPierre.
Let's Talk.

It was a bad week on the farm.
Shares of Demand Media (NYSE: DMD ) fell 15% last week -- and after 11% more of pummeling, they're now nearly 37% off this month's highs -- after a reportedly crushing tweak to Google's (Nasdaq: GOOG ) search algorithm that rolled out early last week.
As a content-farm operator, Demand Media relies on high rankings for timely keywords through the leading search engines. The quality of the content that Demand harvests has come into question since the company went public at $17 a share three months ago, but now its flagship eHow.com how-to website may be finally paying the price.
Search-analytics specialists Searchmetrics and Sistrix are reporting that after last week's update, eHow has lost between half and two-thirds of the traffic it generates from Google.
Demand Media is fighting back this morning, conceding a slight setback in traffic while reiterating the financial guidance it provided back in February.
The dogged dot-com admits that the latest update at Google -- its biggest source for organic traffic -- has resulted in "moderately lower" page view growth. Demand Media sees page views across all of its properties for the current quarter as "comparable to, or greater than" where it was during last year's second quarter.
That may come as a relief to the worrywarts, especially since Google reported last week that its advertisers were paying 8% more per lead than they were a year earlier. However, analysts were targeting $73.4 million in revenue for the current quarter after Demand Media checked in with $60.4 million on the top line during last year's second quarter. Unless Demand Media's domain registrar business has a monster showing, Wall Street's bound to take that target lower in the coming weeks. Demand Media's content business also carries its thickest margins, so bottom line revisions are also likely.
Demand Media isn't evil. Content farms including Demand Media, Yahoo!'s (Nasdaq: YHOO ) Associated Content, and AOL's (NYSE: AOL ) Patch aim to monetize original content scripted by knowledgeable yet cheap freelancers. Is that so sinister? When Google began cracking down on content quality, the easy targets seemed to be scraper sites that slap ads on republished and occasionally unauthorized content or sites with more Google ad blocks than keyword-optimized content. Demand Media is simply responding to what consumers are searching for with timely content that it can create on a cost-effective basis.
No one's going to shed a tear for the opportunistic sites slipping in Google's rankings. Willie Nelson isn't going to reunite musicians for a Content Farm Aid benefit concert. However, it would be wrong to dismiss the genre completely after last week's update. Content farms specialize in search engine optimization. If anyone can get back into the hunt, why not Demand Media?
