2013 is set to be Corey Bohan's biggest in years. Not only is he staring down the barrel of defending his BMX Dirt crown, an event that's making its return to the big stage after a five year hiatus, he's also about to start filming the second series of his 'Wizard Of Oz' TV show that follows the lifestyle and antics of one of the world's best BMX riders and the life he leads. Making a return trip Down Under Bohan talks about where his heads at with it all, and the two events he plans to ride in NZ while he's here, Farm Jam and Red Bull Roast It!
Photography & Interview: Unit
Corey, how's it feel to be back home in Oz:
Great, I'm back home for around two months and real excited about it as I haven't been home for this long in a while. My plan is to do plenty of riding. I'll be heading to New Zealand for Farm Jam and Red Bull Roast It later in February, and in the meantime I'll be filming a 'Day in the life' type deal hitting up all my old riding spots around Brissy for my own edit we'll be putting out soon. I'll start filming for my next 'Wizard Of Oz' series as soon as I hit NZ.
Tell us a little bit about your plans for the second 'Wizard Of Oz' series:
The first series was pretty much full on no plans, no real agenda type deal. We just winged it and it turned out really well so we're going to go in with a similar approach and keep it pretty open. People seem to like the insight to what goes on in my life, and we just want to show everyone how much fun you can have in life.
Is it hard backing up after a successful series:
There is that expectation there, but for the most part because we just winged it for the first series we know by keeping it similar whilst putting more thought into the second we're confident we can produce something better. Just got to keep it real!
Who's involved in making it happen:
It started as myself riding and Dave Mavro as the head of videography, and he has a buddy Ryan Navazio who steps in when Dave can't film, or at times we'll have both guys on the job. It's just us three getting out there, which makes it super easy to get around, just cruising and doing our thing.
Farm Jam, have you been before:
I've only ever seen the footage and heard the stories. It looks like an unreal time to be had. It's such a great vibe hangin' out on the paddock hitting trails with everyone doing their thing. I never get to do many events Down Under so I'm looking forward to getting amongst it with the Aussie and Kiwi riders, and just having a good time really.
Tell us about Red Bull Roast It:
The event is held in Queenstown on a unique piece of land the city gave Nathan and his crew out there. When it comes to dirt jumps this place is perfection. Anybody that's been to Queenstown knows how beautiful it is with the mountains surrounding the place, and the trails there are set up on the side of the road amongst it all. Everything about it is epic, the trails, the backdrop, it's unbelievable, and everyone just goes there because of the location, relaxed vibe, and perfect trails!
BMX Dirt has taken a back seat over the past few years and you're the reigning champ. How do you feel about Dirt coming back at X Games in 2013:
Wow, yeah, it's been like five years since Dirt was taken out. It's such a bummer because everyone has been missing it so much, and they just didn't really care about it, so I'm stoked we have the official word it will be back this year. I don't know what kind of course they'll build, but I know everyone is really excited, and with the new generation coming through right now up against the older gen like myself, and being the defending champ, the excitement is building to see how it will all go down. I'll be giving it all I got.
A lot has changed for you in the past five years, especially with new talent entering the sport. Who do you see as being the riders to watch out for this year:
Of course we still have the veteran Ryan Nyquist still holding his own and killing it, and there's kids like Dennis Enarson and Kyle Baldock throwing down tricks once thought not possible and progressing the sport. Anyone of the younger or older riders can do it, just depends on the day and what you're willing to do and have planned to do. I'm ready and excited for it!
Have you been keeping a close eye on trick evolution in these past five years and keeping your own up to scratch:
Yeah, the way the Double Back gets thrown around these days is still impressive to see, but scary at the same time. It's not something I'll ever do; I'm not willing to risk it. I've got my own tricks, I like to do opposite stuff, go opposite variation ways, which still holds its own to a certain extent. That's what I have fun doing, and that's all I've ever done, doing stuff I love.
Tell us about the set-up you have going on back in California right now:
January 2013 marked 10 years since I've been living over there and southern California offers so many good opportunities to ride. I have a good crew I regularly ride our own trail spots with that are about 20-minutes away from my home that's in a nice residential area. My day mostly consists of heading to the trails in the afternoons when summers are real hot, plus there are skate parks and good facilities close by like Woodward West we can hit up, and the surf's closed by.
Who's in your regular crew:
Around my area there's Heath Pinter, and his yard is where the trails are at. Plus I ride with a good friend of mine from back home, Dave Dilleward, and Ryan Jordan, Jason Enns, Mike Saavedra, and Anthony Napolitan to name a few. On any given day we can have a solid crew of 10 riders show up for a session and it's just real good times.
So 2013 looks set to be the biggest year for you in a while:
It is, especially with the Dirt contests coming back, and my second 'Wizard Of Oz' series under way soon. There's also a bunch of cool underground BMX events popping up as well, so yeah, it definitely looks like being my busiest for at least three years and I'm really looking forward to it.
Last question Corey, you've popped into the UNIT office today how's it been:
Yeah good, have been doing some shooting for the new catalogue with the guys, and it's all pretty new for me here with UNIT being my second year with them. Everything is coming along so well, from product development, the team, it all feels pretty good and I think there's a whole lot more to come yet so yeah pretty stoked.

At Gnip, we are fascinated at the possibilities of how social data can be used in natural disasters. If you're on Twitter, your newsfeed is likely flooded (pun intended) with tweets about Hurricane Sandy. Our customer VisionLink uses geotagged Tweets about Hurricane Sandy and overlays them in a map with the RedCross shelters. You can also overlay Tweets with the path of Hurricane Sandy. You can play around with their map here, but this screenshot gives you a snapshot of how social data can track events such as Hurricanes.
This map makes it easier for emergency response teams to map where the flooding and other potential hazards are happening. Using timestamps, social data can even show a timeline of how conditions are worsening over time.

Hi Guys,
Me calling it Kosen judo is just a name (I am naming it Kosen to honor the old Kosen guy's) - the classes will be a combination of Judo and BJJ maybe if I explain:-
I have a black belt in judo (which I have been studying for 7 years) my speciality is in ne-waza.
I have trained with Carlson Gracie's team in Hammersmith and Leo Negao in Bethnel Green
I am also one of the coaches for the Reading Reapers
Alot of BJJ guys of blue or Purple belt are opening classes are they any more eligible than me to teach
As some of the people who I have trained with:- SteveBags, DDale, SteveB maybe some of the Carlson guy's will remember.
PS it could be considered quite offensive that someone would assume that I am only going to teach things I have learned at a BJJ seminar

'Seeing their fancy-skating, high-powered offense stifled for a second straight game was amazing enough. But you know the Sabres are in trouble when they lose the benefit of the doubt in the NHL's Toronto video room. Too late to satisfy Islanders coach Ted Nolan, who thought his team was jobbed on a tying goal in Game 4 of that series, but a certain justice nonetheless.'

The cry of the remnant to Jehovah as the God of vengeance
We have now the details of the coming in of the Only begotten into the world to establish the glory and divine order in the world, introduced by the cry of the remnant in Israel.
Psalm 94 gives us this cry, which is at the same time the expression of the fullest intelligence of their position, of the dealings of God, of the position of the wicked, and the result about to be produced, and, as all the psalms in this book, founded on known relationship with Jehovah. We have seen that Psalm 91 is Christ's taking this place with the people, that full blessing may come on them as thus associated with Him. Psalm 94 addresses itself to Jehovah as the God of vengeance, and demands that He should show Himself lift Himself up as Judge of the earth and give a reward to the proud. The "how long" is made pressing and urgent. The conduct and impiety of the wicked is stated. Verses 4-11 address the unbelieving Israelites on the folly of this. Verses 12-15 give a most instructive explanation of the ways of Jehovah Blessed is the man whom Jehovah chastens and teaches out of His law. This is the position of the suffering remnant, to give him quiet from the days of evil until the pit be digged for the ungodly.
No doubt, as indeed is expressed in the Psalms, the godly had sometimes well-nigh forgotten this (Psalm 73), not always (Psalm 27: 5); but faith does not, and this is the true meaning of the remnant's sorrows of ours too under our Father. The heart in the midst of evil has to say to God, not only in submission, but as a cup given of Jehovah (of our Father). Hence the distraction and distress felt in meeting man's will in our will without resource is gone; and God, the will being subdued (the great hindrance), teaches the submissive heart, which is in a true position before Him.* For faith it was withal a settled thing that Jehovah would never cast off His people But judgment would return to righteousness, and the upright in heart would follow it. This is the great and all-important principle of the change which takes place in these psalms. Judgment, long separated from righteousness, now returns to it. Judgment was in Pilate, righteousness in Christ. There the opposition was perfect more or less everywhere else. Suffering for righteousness' sake and divine righteousness established in the heavens may be, and assuredly is, a yet better portion. It is Christ's as man, now glorified, but it is not the maintenance of righteousness on the earth. This will now be effectually maintained. But who shall be found to make it good? Who will take up the cause of the godly one, or stand up for the remnant against the mighty workers of iniquity? If Jehovah had not, their souls had soon gone down to silence. How true this was (as to men) of Christ, how fully He can enter into this, I need hardly say. Even when the remnant feared falling, Jehovah helped them. And in the overwhelming of thought, where all the power of evil was, Jehovah's comforts delighted his soul. In verse 20 a most remarkable appeal is made. Were the throne of iniquity and Jehovah's throne about to join together? If not, the days of the throne of iniquity were numbered. That wickedness was there, was now patent. But Jehovah, the defence of the godly, the Judge of the wicked, whose iniquity He would bring on themselves Jehovah would cut them off. Thus the fullest review, as I have said, of the whole position and of Jehovah's ways is remarkably given to us in this psalm.
{*Christ, however deeply feeling what was before Him, was just the opposite of this struggling of will, being perfect in subjection (John 12 and Gethsemane). Peter would have resisted, but Christ took the cup as His Father's will.}
The introduction of the coming in of the only-begotten into the world
From Psalms 95 to 100 we have the progress of the introduction of the Only-begotten into the world most distinctly brought out; but here, all through, seen as Jehovah coming from heaven in judgment, and at length taking His place between the cherubim, and calling up the world to worship Him there. It puts the setting up of Israel in blessing by power, in contrast with their old failure when first delivered.Synopsis by John Darby

Fox Panel On GOP's Gender Gap Ignores Party's Attacks On Women's Rights
Blog ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
During a Fox News panel discussion on how women helped reelect President Obama, host Jenna Lee wondered what obstacles the Republican Party needed to overcome to win a sizeable share of the female vote. Yet apart from saying that "we heard a lot about" the "alleged war on women," Lee did not touch on the party's attacks on women's rights, including the GOP's expansive legislative efforts to restrict those rights, or the party's dismissal of wage equality.
On Happening Now, Lee hosted three women to talk about the Republican Party's gender gap and how Republicans can "do a better job of winning the female vote." Lee noted that Obama beat Republican Mitt Romney by 11 points among women and went on to ask guest Sabrina Schaeffer how Republicans can "fight the battle of the alleged war on women" if they avoid talking about gender politics.
Schaeffer, the executive director of the Independent Women's Forum, said that Republicans should talk to women about how they can expand women's liberty, which "is not a war on women." Guest Wendi Biondi, who attended the second presidential debate, added: "I cannot stand that term 'war on women.' "
Despite Lee's reference to a "war on women," not once did she note that the Republican Party has launched a wide-ranging assault on women's rights -- nor did she discuss recent inflammatory comments by two GOP lawmakers that resulted in their election-night losses.
During an interview with local St. Louis TV station KTVI, Republican Congressman Todd Akin claimed that it's "really rare" for women subjected to "legitimate rape" to become pregnant. Likewise, Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock suggested that pregnancies resulting from rape are "something that God intended to happen."
(Both Akin and Mourdock lost their Senate races. Mourdock lost among women by 10 points, and Akin was outperformed by his opponent, Sen. Claire McCaskill, by nearly three-to-two among women.)
This rhetoric is reflected in actual policies pushed by Republicans.
In its 2012 platform, the Republican Party explicitly advocated for a ban on abortion. The Republican platform did not even contain an exception for rape and incest. Joel Brinkley, a journalism professor at Stanford University, reported in Politico, "No other nation in the Western world restricts abortion as severely as the Republican Party is calling for in its draft platform." Brinkley added that "the Republican Party has placed itself in a position in which it could be totally alone in the world" by attacking Planned Parenthood.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Romney repeatedly embraced a federal constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion. In a September interview with NBC's Meet the Press, Romney stated that if elected, his preference would be to appoint Supreme Court justices that would reverse Roe v. Wade.
Moreover, congressional Republicans have pushed through numerous bills that threaten women's reproductive choices. One of those bills, "Sanctity of Human Life Act," empowered "the federal and state governments" to ban abortion and made "no exception for rape."
Republicans also voted to cut off funding to Planned Parenthood and sponsored legislation that would have allowed any corporation to withdraw coverage from its workers for contraception or any other medical treatment by claiming that it objects to such coverage.
According to the Guttmacher Institute, 916 measures meant to curb reproductive rights were introduced in the first quarter of 2011 alone.
Republican lawmakers have also dismissed concerns about wage inequality. Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, for instance, derided the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act as "an effort to help trial lawyers collect fees."
In 2009, all but five Senate Republicans voted against the Lilly Ledbetter act. Of those five, four were women and the other was the late-Senator Arlen Specter, who later switched to the Democratic Party. The Associated Press noted at the time that "[t]he measure is designed to make it easier for workers to sue for decades-old discrimination."

It's only Week 4, and we've got a long list of big-name fantasy players on the injury report. Check back here all morning long for all of the latest news on Steven Jackson , Rob Gronkowski , Mikel Leshoure , Dwayne Bowe , Fred Jackson , C.J. Spiller and many more. For the status of all other players, click on the link below to the league's official injury report.
Players who have already been ruled out for Week 5 include Kenny Britt, Hakeem Nicks, Julian Edelman, Aaron Hernandez, Darrius Heyward-Bey and Nate Kaeding.
-- Steven Jackson is active for the Rams today. He hardly practiced at all this week after not practicing last week. I don't like him in this matchup, and I think he's a risky flex play. He gained less than 30 yards on 11 carries last week in Chicago, and I don't know how much better his groin muscle is today.
-- Chiefs WR Dwayne Bowe is active. He was listed as questionable with a groin injury, but this is much different than Steven Jackson's situation. Bowe was able to practice in limited fashion Thursday and Friday. He is a strong WR2 versus the Chargers.
-- Mikel Leshoure is active and starting for the Lions today. He won't get as much work as last week, but I expect 20 touches. He's a decent RB2 versus the Vikings' tough run defense. I suspect we'll see more Kevin Smith and/or Joique Bell today.
-- Fred Jackson AND C.J. Spiller are both active today. Oh, boy. This is going to be a difficult situation for fantasy owners, but here's what we know: Jackson is going to get the start and he's clearly closer to full health. I think Spiller should be benched unless you have absolutely no other options. I expect Jackson to get the majority of the touches, but not knowing how much work Spiller will get, I consider Jackson a high-risk RB2.
Update: According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Bills plan to split the work between Jackson and Spiller "evenly." So reject what I just said about Jackson getting the majority of the carries. If both can get 15 touches, they are both low-end RB2 options. And it's only a low-end RB2 because both are not 100 percent. I have a feeling that this backfield is going to disappoint fantasy owners one way or another. Jackson is the better start, in my opinion.
-- Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder is active. He's playing so well of late that he might be a low-end QB1 this week vs. Detroit. He's still best deployed as a QB2.
-- Stephen Hill is out for the Jets due to his hamstring injury. Santonio Holmes is the only viable Jets receiver, but I'm not very high on him either considering that he's going up against a pissed off 49ers defense.
-- Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph is active today. Detroit has allowed the second-most fantasy points to TEs this year, so get him in your lineup.
-- Brandon Jacobs is inactive for the 49ers once again. That means more goal-line carries for Frank Gore.
-- Tight end Dustin Keller is inactive because of his hamstring injury. Yeah, you're benching your Jets today.
-- Here's a tight end you're not benching: Rob Gronkowski is active for the Patriots. He landed on the injury report Friday with a hip injury and was listed as questionable, but his playing status was never really in doubt. Get him in your lineup as always.
-- Dexter McCluster and Steve Breaston are active for the Chiefs. McCluster is a desperation play as a flex at best. Breaston shouldn't really be owned anywhere.
-- Patriots running back Shane Vereen is active for the first time this year. He's not a fantasy option, but he might be worth picking up in deep leagues because the Pats love to interchange their backs. I still think Stevan Ridley is an RB2 versus the Bills.
-- Peyton Hillis is inactive for the Chiefs. Jamaal Charles won't get 33 carries again, but he's an easy must-start.
-- Titans Jared Cook is active despite a shoulder injury that had him listed as questionable. He's been pretty good this year, and he should see more targets today with Britt inactive. But I hate the matchup against the Texans.
-- Matthew Stafford is active for the Lions. His hip injury is no big worry. He's a fine start.
-- Doug Baldwin is active for the Seahawks. A sleeper WR for me in the offseason, he's roster fodder right now.
-- Jonathan Stewart is active for the Panthers. Atlanta's run defense is not great, but you know the deal here. That Panthers running game is so hard to depend on. Stewart is a flex option, nothing more.
-- WR Titus Young and TE Tony Scheffler are active for the Lions. Scheffler is not a fantasy option. Young is a boom-or-bust WR3. He should be on most benches.
-- Texans WR Andre Johnson is active. He was probable on the injury report because of a groin injury -- so many groin injuries this week! You know you have to start him.
-- Texans QB Matt Schaub is also active despite losing part of his ear in the win over the Broncos last week. He's a low-end QB1.
-- Calvin Johnson was listed as probable. Yeah, he's active. Other studs who were probable on the injury report but should be in your lineups: Arian Foster, Julio Jones and Vernon Davis.
Fantasy Analysis:
Britt has told media members today that he will not play against the Texans. For what I think about this situation and how it impacts the rest of the Titans' receiving corps from a fantasy perspective, go check out the news post I wrote about Britt earlier today.
With Nicks out, Domenik Hixon and Ramses Barden will have to pick up the slack. Hixon is ahead of Barden on the formal depth chart, but Barden is the player you want. I think Barden a decent WR3 if you are in a bind today. He obviously looked great when called upon in Carolina.
Sooner or later, the Patriots are going to have no one other OTHER than Wes Welker to throw to. He'll have a big game today in Buffalo. Hernandez has a chance of returning next week. Not much has been said about Edelman's hand injury, leading to speculation that it might be broken.
I have no idea when Heyward-Bey will play again after getting knocked unconscious last week. With Rod Streater and tight end Brandon Myers also banged up, I think Denarius Moore is a strong WR3 today versus Denver.
Kaeding didn't make the trip to Kansas City because of a groin injury. Pick up another kicker. It's a crapshoot.

Private/Public: Images of Devotion from 19th and Early 20th Century Mexico Opening
Curated by Emmanuel Ortega
The images in this exhibition represent more than a group of small religious paintings. They embody the complicated artistic nature of Christian iconography, symbolism and private/public forms of devotion that were established in Mexico as the norm by the nineteenth century. Objects on display include ex-votos and retablos (small tin oil paintings presented as offerings in churches and sacred sites), wooden sculptures and milagros (small hand crafted silver offerings). These objects are the visual result of 400 years of private/public devotional practices that begun to take shape in Mexico after 1521. Their importance resides in the intricacies of the miracles narrated, the intended reception, and the type of information they reveal about private/public devotional practices in Mexico before and after the independence of 1821.
La Vendimia Mística (Mystic Harvest), Anonymous, c. 19th century. Oil on tin. 14" x 10"

If you had a budget of $300,000 for initial production, what programming language would you use to produce "web software"? Like, Quickbooksonline.com, Turbotax, inventory control, GIS, or other data management.
Ps. I'm not a troll. This is a real decision I need to make. I'm not a professional programmer, but I've built a "web software" to manage our company, and now we need to take it to the next level. We have some highly experienced programmers that say finish it out in the current language, and some say to start over. So, if I were starting from the beginning, what would be the most ideal situation?
That's a pretty big question without more specifics about what the program itself does, usage scenarios, number of people using it etc.
That said, for all its weaknesses, I think that PHP and MySQL on a linux system (LAMP) has a lot of benefits - including a large pool of developers who are used to developing on that platform, lots of web hosts who are configured to run it, and lots of both open and closed source projects that might be useful.
Wow. I agree with adwatson. There is no where near enough information here for us to give you pointers, nor will you be able to give us enough info. This decision needs to stay in house, with people who know your business and application.
Everything depends on everything else...
I would not start greenfield apps in PHP -- see http://me.veekun.com/blog/2012/04/09/php-a-fractal-of-bad-design/ for a good place to start.
I would probably follow the advice of the experience folks and finish it in the current language unless the current language is something dying fast like classic ASP. In vaccum I would look at Ruby, Python or ASP.NET MVC as my first three default choices.
Unfortunately I feel like Python might be dying out eventually as well? Google had a project underway to completely rewrite the code base to speed it up (much needed) but Google cut the funding on it. Plus they rolled out Go! Programming language. They might want to see that one into more of the market in place of python.
True, Google has been a major sponsor and probably pushed python from the status of weird academic language to popular scripting and programming platform but at this point I think python has established itself to the point where it doesn't need big G behind it. From what I can see, for the startups actually building technology (as opposed to marketing plans and exit strategies) it seems to be winning lots of hearts and minds and there is certainly a lot of non-Google backed life in the ecosystem. Even if nobody wants to upgrade to python 3.
I myself will be tackling some python here shortly. I find the language very intriguing, but the slowness just kills me, at least for the type of work that I've been doing
I feel ya -- doing a bit of python here and there now too. Everything is slow compared to the compiled, JIT'd land I am used to unless I wanted to go to straight C or something . . .
I started the project in PHP, and I've spoken to some developers who are very experienced in multiple languages, and they say to finish it as PHP. I spoke to one firm, and they said that Python is what they would use. They didn't want to use PHP because it's easy for developers to write code in 10 different ways so it's hard for a new developer to pick up on the project.
My code is written for myself. It was pretty well organized, keeping PHP in the header with only echoing variables in the HTML for output. Functions, settings, etc are all in includes and sorted well. Lots of functions help keep things tidy, and I can just change 1 function to adjust site wide changes. Overall it's still procedural though, so the programmers I've talked to suggest migrating over to OOP, but not reworking everything from the get go.
The system is meant to manage a broad scope of oilfield data, but eventually it's going to evolve to do everything our company needs, from GIS to accounting.
Prior to, we were on a strict budget, so I built the tools myself. Now, we have funding so we want to do it the right way. We don't want to look back and think "Oh geez we messed up. We should have went with XYZ". I have looked at the major companies like Facebook, Yahoo, Best Buy, NYSE, MailChimp and a bunch of others use PHP. If they can do it, I don't really see what's so horrible about PHP so long as good coding practices are put in place (of course, which wouldn't be set by me but a pro).
I'm pretty sure we will finish with PHP now, simply because we need the tools and they are mostly done. One thing the developer I'm working with is suggesting I implement a template system like Smarty. Personally, I don't see the benefit because I have my code like so:
// process all code
include 'header.php';

<?php echo $Display['Something']; ?>

include 'footer.php';
For example, I built table results and put them in $Display['Results'] and just echo it in the HTML. Each page has drastically unique contents, so a template for the body doesn't seem logical.
Is there a benefit I'm not seeing?

It's not exactly a surprise, but CBS announced it has reached an agreement for one more season of "How I Met Your Mother."
All of the cast members Josh Radnor, Jason Segel, Cobie Smulders, Neil Patrick Harris and Alyson Hannigan will be back, and series creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas will return for the final season.
And, at long last, we'll learn the identity of the mother.
For most of its run, "HIMYM" has been among the best comedies on TV. It has been showing its age of late, and the announcement that it's coming to an end isn't bad news, given that they'll have a full season to wrap up the continuing storylines.
The network released these statements: "Through eight years, 'How I Met Your Mother' has mastered the art of leading-edge comedy, emotional water-cooler moments and pop culture catch phrases," said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. "We are excited for Carter, Craig, [executive producer] Pam Fryman and this amazing cast to tell the final chapter and reveal television's most mysterious mother to some of TV's most passionate fans." "We're thrilled to have the entire and incredibly talented 'How I Met Your Mother' cast back for one final season to bring the series to a proper close," said Dana Walden and Gary Newman, Chairmen of 20th Century Fox Television. "Carter Bays and Craig Thomas are masterful and hilarious storytellers, and we have no doubt that they will guide one of the greatest comedies of the last decade to a gratifying conclusion when they finally reveal the identity of the Mother."

Johnson Highlights GSA's Role in Supporting Nation's Veterans
Video Length: 2 minutes 19 seconds
Whether it's developing a unique patient-evacuation vehicle that offers smooth medical transport for wounded soldiers coming home or designing, building, and maintaining the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Gulfport, Miss., GSA is helping to support our nation's veterans through acquisition and building projects all across the country.
Johnson highlighted that pledge to the men and women who served during a Veterans Day commemoration event at the U.S. Department of the Interior on Nov. 8 in Washington, D.C.
"I am proud to lead the General Services Administration, an agency that is fully committed to using our acquisition, design, and construction expertise to serve today's veterans and tomorrow's as befits their service to our nation." said Johnson.
Johnson was a keynote speaker for the event, along with U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry.
In addition to logistics and material support, GSA is committed to harnessing the knowledge-base and skill sets of veterans. To that end, GSA has made the recruitment and retention of veterans a top priority. In line with the president's Executive Order 13518, which calls for increased veteran hiring, GSA nearly doubled veterans hiring from four years ago to 20 percent.
GSA is also committed to aiding the veterans-owned business community by providing government contract opportunities. GSA has more than 1,000 veteran-owned businesses participating in the schedules program. Additionally, through the agency's new mentor/protégé program, which matches established businesses with small business to help learn more about doing business with the government, the agency is seeing a 25 percent participation rate by veteran-owned businesses, including many by service-disabled veterans.

BELLEVUE, WA -- Coinstar Inc. reported that profit tripled in the fourth quarter of 2010, in line with targets it lowered last month to account for disappointing sales from its Redbox DVD-rental kiosks. The company's guidance for the first quarter fell short of Wall Street forecasts.
Earnings for the three months ended Dec. 31 rose to $11.7 million, or 35¢ a share, up from $3.4 million, or 11¢ per share, a year earlier. Sales rose 31% to $390.8 million, or 68¢ a share, from $298.3 million, or 37¢ per share in the year-ago quarter.
For the full year, Coinstar earned $51 million, or $1.57 a share, down from $53.6 million, or $1.76 a share, the previous year. Revenue rose to $1.44 billion from $1.03 billion.
Coinstar, which still operates self-service coin-counting machines, issued a preliminary fourth-quarter report last month, lowering its revenue projection to $391 million, or 65¢ to 69¢ a share, a 31% revenue jump year over year. This compared with previous guidance in the range of $415 million to $440 million, or 79¢ to 85¢ a share. Officials attributed the adjustment to the unexpected impact a recently inked deal with several Hollywood movie studios to delay Redbox's access to new DVD releases by 28 days would have on holiday revenue.
Coinstar's expenses reportedly jumped to $347.6 million from $268.6 million during the fourth quarter, partly due to excess inventory purchases. The company said it had removed older inventory ahead of the holiday season to make room for newer titles, but demand wasn't strong enough to offset the cost.
"We have taken definitive steps to correct the issues we encountered with our Redbox business in the fourth quarter and will be tracking progress closely," said Coinstar chief executive Paul Davis. The Coinstar chief did not elaborate on how Coinstar might overcome the challenge posed by movie studios not distributing movies through its kiosks immediately after their DVD release.
Signaling further challenges for Coinstar, Time Warner Inc. recently announced that it plans to launch on-demand videos in the coming months, which will allow viewers to rent and watch movies from their homes just 60 days after they are released in theaters. The studio also said that it is reevaluating its distribution agreements with Redbox and mail-order giant Netflix Inc., suggesting it may further extend their existing 28-day window to access its movies and raise its fees.
Coinstar was upbeat about its trial of videogame rentals at Redbox kiosks, reporting that it recently top a million automated rentals since it began the test in 2009. Officials said they will decide over the next several months whether to roll out videogame rentals nationwide to all 30,000 kiosks from the 5,000 or so kiosks with the service today.
For the first quarter, Coinstar said it expects earnings of 15¢ to 25¢ a share on revenue between $400 million and $420 million. The company backed its previous guidance for 2011 of adjusted earnings between $1.7 billion to $1.85 billion, or $2.60 to $3.10 per share.
Analysts had forecast higher first-quarter earnings of 57¢ on $405.8 million in revenue, and full-year earnings of $2.85 a share on $1.78 billion in revenue.

Recreation Services for Customers with Disabilities
Fairfax County is committed to giving
all citizens equal access to recreation opportunities.
The Fairfax County Park Authority is committed to providing accommodations (access) to all programs, services, and activities in accordance with Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Read More >>
In keeping with that policy, reasonable accommodations are provided to customers with disabilities in all Park Authority programs, services, and facilities. ADA accommodations include sign interpreters, alternative information formats, program modifications and inclusion support for classes and camps. Every effort will made to provide reasonable accommodations required for participation. The Park Authority will make every attempt to provide reasonable accommodations; however, failure to request an accommodation with the specified time frame may limit our ability to complete this request. Contact the ADA Specialist at least 10 days in advance of the registration deadline or event at 703-324-8563 or 711 (TTY) for additional information.
PRIOR to requesting accommodations or registering for a program, class, or camp, the FCPA suggests customers with disabilities read: FCPA Inclusion Fact Sheet/Frequently Asked Questions.
Leisure Coaching
The Fairfax County Park Authority offers a limited resource for customers with disabilities to participate in camps and classes with the support of trained staff.
How does the program work?
Leisure coaches, typically seasonal staff (Special Education majors, teachers, or instructional assistants) implement the customer's accommodation plan (a detailed plan of needs and strategies). This plan may typically include behavioral and transitional support, activity modifications and/or adaptations. The leisure coach also provides training for instructors or camp leaders to ensure sensitivity awareness for customers without disabilities.
What is the goal of the leisure coaching program?
The goal is to provide customers with disabilities the opportunity to work towards independent leisure participation. Essentially, the leisure coach provides support until the point at which the customer's ability to participate independently reaches the level of other individuals in the class or camp. In addition, the leisure coach helps to facilitate a successful recreation experience for the customer in the least restrictive setting.
Eligibility Requirements:
Upon request, the ADA/Inclusion Coordinator will review a number of factors for a customer with a disability before determining whether or not the placement of a leisure coach is needed to help facilitate a successful experience. These factors include feedback from the parent, classroom teacher or group home staff, and the availability of leisure coaches. In addition, 10 days advance notice is preferred. Customers with disabilities participating in the Summer Rec-PAC program or self-contained programs (disability only) are not eligible to receive the leisure coaching service.
How long can I expect to receive the support of a leisure
Classes: A leisure coach can provide support for one class session per seasonal Partakes brochure (targeting 6 out of 8 classes in a typical class session).
Camps: A leisure coach can provide support for a maximum 3 out of 5 days for one week camp sessions. Under the ADA, parents have the right to provide their own support (aide, therapist, or parent) upon departure of the leisure coach.
Note: Flexibility is maintained in the duration of the assigned leisure coach; however, the customer with a disability must demonstrate a reasonable chance to achieve independent participation within a given session.
Staff and Services
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ensures that reasonable accommodations are available upon request in all programs and services. The FCPA, operating in the spirit of the ADA, embraces the philosophy of inclusion and supports the accommodation process with leisure coaches. Leisure coaches support accommodations by empowering staff and instructors to ensure full participation. Please note that leisure coaches are a limited resource in these programs (camps, classes) with the exception of the targeted summer Rec-PAC camp inclusion sites. Leisure coaches providing accommodation support in this program are located at specific camp locations for the duration of the six week program. Inclusion support in the form of leisure coaching is not accessible at other Rec-PAC camp locations.
To facilitate your participation, the ADA Specialist will provide the
- Qualified sign language interpreters. All requests are confirmed prior to the start of the program along with the name of the assigned interpreter.
- Alternative formats/auxiliary aids such as assistive listening devices, television captioning and decoders, TTY's, close captioned viewing, large print documents, audiocassettes, and Braille materials.
- An accommodation plan outlining how the Park Authority can meet accommodation requests of the customer.
- Training for the instructors or program staff regarding facilitation styles, communication methods, behavior redirection, or modification/adaptation of activities.
- Sensitivity training for other class or program consumers.
- Physical accessibility for all programs, services, and activities.
How to Apply
The Park Authority publishes quarterly schedule of programs, classes, tours, and camps in the Parktakes Magazine. The magazine can be obtained at all Fairfax County Libraries, Park Authority Headquarters, and RECenter locations; or you may call 703-222-4664, TTY Virginia Relay at 711 for a free subscription. Or visit Parktakes Online and check the ADA request box, which in turn comes directly to the ADA Coordinator.
The ADA Specialist is available to assist and advise customers concerning program placement and to discuss any accommodations that may be necessary for participation.
- The Park Authority requires 10 business days in advance of the registration deadline or event, whichever comes first. Overnight Tours require 45 days advance notice. If the request is less than the 10 days (or 45 days for overnight tours) prior to the start date, the FCPA will attempt to provide services; however, we cannot guarantee your request for services will be fulfilled.
- Complete the registration form in the back of the Parktakes Magazine or register online with Parktakes Online and check the ADA box.
- Request or check the ADA accommodations box if you need an accommodation.
- Return the registration as instructed
- The ADA Specialist will contact you regarding your accommodation requirements.

NASA's engineers developed a number of high-tech new machines, scattered at military bases across the nation, that would simulate aspects of what the astronauts would likely confront during space flight. And that became the driving theory behind the astronauts training regimen:
Excerpted from: "Light This Candle: The Life and Times of Alan Shepard, America's First Spaceman." Copyright 2004 by Neal Thompson. Published by Crown Publishers, New York, New York. Portions have been edited for context.
to build machines that re-created the excruciating tremors and pressures of sitting on the nose of a rocket traveling faster than any human had ever traveled; to mimic the weightlessness the astronauts would experience in outer space; to simulate the sensation of tumbling through space in a disabled and out-of-control capsule.
The training program sprang from all the what-ifs that the engineers and scientists had posited. Because, in truth, the experts weren't too sure what would happen to a man in space; opinions ranged from "nothing" to "disgusting, painful death."
So, to cover all their bases, the engineers decided to explore each what-if and then see if the astronauts could survive an approximate duplication of that scenario. When they weren't in classrooms learning about astrophysics, geophysics, and astronomy, the astronauts were flying from city to city, allowing themselves to be subjected to heat chambers, pressure chambers, a "rotating room," and other of NASA's noisy, dangerous, gut-sloshing experimental training contraptions.
"There was always another what-if," (John) Glenn once remarked, referring to the nervous Nellies in NASA's medical corps who dreamed up many ghastly scenarios. What if the astronauts experienced "separation anxiety" and inexplicably refused to return to Earth? What if the astronauts' eyeballs oozed and became misshapen in the zero gravity of space? What if the fluids of the inner ear, which control balance, floated out of the astronauts' heads, leaving them permanently dizzy and vertiginous?
And what if the astronauts' orbiting space capsule spun out of control? To prepare for the off chance of such a scenario, the brilliant minds of NASA created MASTIF - the multiple axis space training inertial facility. Similar to a gyroscope, MASTIF was an enormous set of three concentric cages, called gimbals, one inside each other. Each cage was a misshapen, geometric skeletal box that looked as though it'd been assembled from the leftover parts of a set of playground monkey bars.
The outer cage was red, and inside that was a smaller green cage, both of them vaguely circular. At the center was a yellow cage, roughly cone-shaped, to represent the astronauts' space capsule. And at the center of the yellow cage was a cockpit where the astronaut sat, strapped in tight. Each gimbal was hinged to the next, but they all rotated independently from each other and in different directions, so that the cockpit could be programmed to spin - just like the Mercury capsule might in space - on three axes: pitch (from front to back), roll (side to side), and yaw (from left to right, in a twisting motion).
The engineers could program the machine to rotate just one of the cages, which would cause the astronaut's capsule to simulate a side-to-side pitching motion. Then the programmers could rotate two of the cages, causing the astronaut's cockpit to pitch and spin simultaneously. Finally, they could rotate all three cages, simulating a completely out-of-control capsule, tumbling and spinning and yawing through space.
The astronauts had to learn to use a hand control - similar to the control stick in a jet - that released spurts of gas that acted as a brake against the rotating motion of the gimbals. The goal was to stop the cockpit from tumbling and bring it to a complete stop.
Shepard intended to be the first to master MASTIF. But in a flashback to his downcheck during flight training at Corpus Christi and the two near-fatal crash dives at Edwards Air Force Base, he was immediately, frighteningly humbled.
The practice sessions began slowly, with just one or two of the cages spinning at modest speeds, and Shepard was able to quickly stop the cockpit from tumbling. But when he first gave the thumbs-up for the technicians to spin all three cages, and also increase the speed - each gimbal was capable of up to thirty revolutions per minute - things got ugly.
As the cages spun faster and faster, their breezelike whooshing sound rose into a piercing scream. After just a minute or two, with Shepard's body being tossed front to back and side to side, he reached out and slammed the red "chicken switch" button, which set off a loud klaxon that told the technician to shut down the machine.
The cages stopped tumbling, and engineers helped a dizzy and nauseated Shepard from the cockpit and led him to the cot they kept nearby - with a mop and a bucket beside it, just in case. But Shepard was determined to master the thing.
He got back in it that afternoon and performed a little better, but still had to punch the chicken switch, and so he decide to quit for the day. A few of the doctors on hand the first day were surprised at how long it took Shepard to recover from his dizziness and nausea.
The next morning he strapped himself in again. And the next. Within a few days he was able to withstand the full thirty revolutions per minute in each axis. He learned how to quickly and accurately twist and turn the control stick until he stopped one gimbal, then the next and then the next, bringing the cockpit to a standstill.
In one of the 35 mm films NASA took of the training sessions, Shepard emerged from a session in MASTIF, then stopped and stared back at the machine, the disgust plain on his face. Then he lifted his head as if to say, I beat you, you mechanical freak, turned, and walked out, chin in the air, chest out.
Another machine - the one that Shepard despised the most - was the centrifuge outside Philadelphia. It was a small flying-saucer-shaped capsule at the end of a fifty-foot arm that spun in a tight circle, like a tree-sized croquet mallet being swung by a giant.
The sadistic purpose of the machine was to expose the astronauts to the type of excessive gravity, or G forces, that they'd experience riding atop a launching rocket. They would be traveling faster than any human had flown, and the doctors had to determine whether their bodies could take the strain.
One G is the equivalent of the Earth's gravitational pull. Two Gs is essentially gravity times two. So under two Gs of gravitational pressure, a 175-pound man would feel as if he weighed 350. As the centrifuge rotated faster and faster, the astronauts would be pushed into their couches beneath hundreds of pounds of pressure, pummeled by G loads more excruciating than any fighter pilot had ever felt.
NASA engineers calculated that during their explosive launch from Earth, the astronauts would experience at least five or six Gs - the equivalent of about half a ton of pressure for a 175-pound man.
But there were unanswered questions about how many Gs they'd experience during their capsule's plunge from the emptiness of space to the thick, friction-inducing air of the Earth's atmosphere. Ten? Fifteen? No one knew for sure, so the doctors decided to give the astronauts a taste of the worst.
At five or six Gs in the centrifuge, it was still possible - but just barely - for the astronauts to lift their arms and flip a few switches on the mock dashboard in front of them. At seven Gs they were slammed into the couch and incapable of movement, as if bags of cement had been stacked on their chest, legs and arms. They had to tense their muscles to keep the blood from draining out of their head and causing them to black out.
With some practice, they reached inhumane G loads of sixteen; the record, achieved (on a dare) by an unassuming Navy lieutenant, was an astonishing 20 Gs. Such spins would smoosh back the skin on their face like Play-Doh. After such sessions, they'd find their backs splotched and red from broken blood vessels.
As if such spinning wasn't bad enough, NASA engineers then devised an even more gruesome exercise with the centrifuge. They had asked themselves: What if the astronaut's capsule lands on its nose, instead of its behind? To test their assumptions, the engineers decided to measure the astronaut's capacity for "reverse Gs."
While the centrifuge arm was spinning and the astronaut was being shoved back into his contour couch, the engineers would rotate the capsule 180 degrees so that the man inside was abruptly thrown into his should straps.
They called it the EI/EO test, for "eyeballs in, eyeballs out," which is exactly what happened. Shepard once told a reporter that it was a "real pleasure" to go from spinning forward to backward. But Glenn wasn't the only one who found the test "sadistic."
One of NASA's doctors tried the EI/EO and emerged hacking uncontrollably, unable to catch his breath; through some testing the other doctors determined that his heart had slammed into one of his lungs and deflated it.
On May 5, 1961, Alan Shepard became the first American in space. Long after this historical flight, Shepard started to experience episodes of extreme dizziness and nausea. Some of these episodes were so severe that he would fall to the ground and vomit. Although he kept this condition quiet for some time, he was eventually diagnosed with M�ni�re's disease, where fluids were building up in the semi-circular canal of his left inner ear.
He was scrubbed from future missions; everyone imagined that he might fall off the moon ladder, puncture his suit, and be the first astronaut casualty. Successful surgery allowed him to finally fly again - on Apollo 14, when he hit the golf ball on the moon.

Step 1: Overview
The average two-car garage has the upper regions of three 24-ft.-long walls ready and available for big-time storage. Add a continuous 2-ft.-deep shelf on all three walls and you're talking about a huge, accessible storage platform without taking up any floor space whatsoever. This project will work on just about any garage on the planet, although you may have to customize it a bit for your garage. (More on adapting it later.) We show this project in a garage with finished walls, but the assembly techniques will also work on garages with open studs.
While these shelves aren't sturdy enough to store your anvil collection, they're plenty strong enough for off-season clothes, sporting goods and camping gear. In short, just about anything you'd want to hoist up onto an 8-ft.-high shelf and out of the way. In general, keep the weight under about 30 lbs. per linear foot.
The 23-in.-high apron under the shelf is a great place to drive nails and hooks for hanging garden tools, cords and hoses—all that other stuff that clutters up the garage. Add a closet rod between a couple of braces and you have a convenient place to hang jackets, raincoats or other clothes.
Cutting and installing the parts for an entire garage will only take you a weekend. As for skills, it's a project any weekend warrior can tackle. If you can handle a circular saw, a screw gun and basic hand tools, you'll have no problems. For the cleanest look, use a miter saw to cut the trim. And to speed up the job, use a brad nailer for most of the nailing.
Planning Your Shelves
There are no magic heights or widths for your shelves; you'll want to customize them for your garage and needs. The best strategy is to build a 3-ft.-long mockup of our shelf and hold it against the walls in various positions to test the fit. It just takes a little effort and may help prevent headaches later. Then you can decide what height and size the shelves need to be to clear obstacles. Some rules of thumb for sizing and positioning:
- Choose shelf heights that'll allow for enough space between the ceiling and the shelf for the tall items you plan to store.
- Make sure that shelves and braces will clear obstructions like garage doors, garage door tracks and service doors.
- In foot traffic areas (near car doors, for example), keep braces above head level and back from doorways, so you don't bump into them.
- If you have an SUV or a pickup truck, make sure the braces won't obstruct the doors.
- If you need to build narrower shelves, just shrink the plywood braces and shelves by the same amount.
Step 2: Choosing the materials
Our shelving system is made from oak plywood and solid oak trim. If you choose 3/4-in. CDX (construction grade) plywood and pine trim, you'll whittle down the cost. We prefinished everything with two coats of polyurethane. If you choose to finish your shelves, roll the finish on the full sheets of plywood and brush the finish on all of the trim boards before cutting. That'll take scads less time than finishing it later.
Measure the overall length of shelving you intend to build and then use the dimensions in Figure B to help calculate the materials you need.
Step 3: Lay out the walls and mount the aprons
Rip each sheet into one 23-in.-wide apron and one 24-in.-wide shelf. Use the factory edge of a "freehand" cut shelf as a saw guide for straight cuts on the other shelves and aprons (Photo 1).
Snap a line on the wall to mark the top of the apron and then mark all of the studs with masking tape. Take your time with this step; it's important that the apron nails anchor into solid framing, since they support the entire weight of the shelf. To be sure, poke nails through the drywall (just below the line, where holes will be hidden) to find the centers of studs. Start the first apron somewhere in the middle of the wall, making sure that both ends fall on the centers of the studs. Then work toward the corners where the freehand crosscut ends will be hidden. If you're working alone, partially drive a couple of "stop" nails at the chalk line to help align the apron (Photo 2). That'll eliminate any guesswork. Prestart a couple of nails at stud locations before hoisting the apron into place so you can tack it to the wall while supporting it with one hand.
Step 4: Cut and mount the braces
Cut the triangular braces from 20-in. squares (Photo 3). You can cut the diagonal freehand because the trim will hide minor cutting flaws. Use two 1-3/8-in.-wide spacers to center and support the brace while you're screwing the 1x4 brace cleat to the back side (Photo 4). Drill 1/8-in. pilot holes into both pieces and countersink holes in the cleats to prevent splitting. Use three 2-1/2-in. screws, one about 2 in. in from each end and one more centered. For the best appearance, run the wood grain the same direction on each brace.
Drill four pilot holes in the cleats, two 1-1/2 in. from the top and two more 3 in. up from the bottom. Then screw each brace assembly to the apron (Photo 5). Use finish washers under the screws for a polished look. Position them directly over each apron seam and then place one more in the center so no shelf span is more than 4 ft. Make sure they're flush and square with the top of the apron. When shelving turns a corner, center a brace exactly 24 in. from one wall (Figure B). This brace will support the front edge of the shelf on the adjoining wall as well as a shelf end.
Step 5: Nail on the shelves and add the trim
Lay the shelves in place so joints fall over the braces and nail them to the braces and the apron with 2-in. brads spaced every 8 in. As with the apron, start somewhere in the center of each wall so you'll have factory edges abutting each other at joints and the saw cuts will be hidden at the ends. Angle the nails slightly at joints so they hit the center of the braces.
Add trim to the raw plywood edges for a nice finished look. Trim also strengthens the assembly and stiffens the shelves. Cut the brace trim to fit with opposing 45-degree bevels at each end. Then glue and nail them to each brace with 2-in. brads (Photo 7).
Starting at one end of each wall and working toward the other, cut the shelf edging to fit (Photo 8). Overlap plywood joints by at least 2 ft. for better support. The plywood will be a little wavy, but it'll straighten out as you nail on the trim.
Customize the Design
You can easily customize this shelving to fit special items like golf clubs, hanging clothes or anything else that's best stored in a cabinet or on open shelving. Just assemble a cabinet box like the one we show here so that the sides fall over the wall studs. Go as narrow as 16 in. or as wide as 4 ft., but make sure you can attach the cleats directly to wall studs. Attach those cleats to the back of the cabinet with 2-in. screws placed every foot just as you did with the braces, and then screw the assembly to the wall. The cabinet sides replace the 45-degree braces and supports the shelf. A simple unit like this one takes no more moxie than the shelves required. If you're interested in drawers or fancier cabinetry work, you're only limited by your cabinetmaking skills.
