Paul Ryan's 2013 budget shows not only that the GOP is wildly out of touch with average Americans, but that they lack the ability to lead us anywhere but off a cliff.
Cities for Peace
Cities for Peace is building a network of local elected officials who are working to highlight the local costs of U.S. foreign policy and to put pressure on the U.S. government to end the war in Iraq, prevent a military strike against Iran, and press for a non-militarized foreign policy.
These mayors have a decision to make about who they stand with: The 1% or the 99%.
A series of links symbolizing the key moments that led to victory for the people of Egypt and to honor their inspiring call for democracy. From desperation to celebration!
With the cost of the war projected to exceed $3 trillion, it's time to demand that the money being spent on continued occupation in Iraq be spent at home in our own communities now!
Thirty-two U.S. mayors have signed a resolution saying "No" to invading Iran. Will the federal government listen?
Tired of being ignored by the feds, citizens pass city laws declaring peace.

Download the latest AWS SDK for Java
New Features
Change | Description |
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) - Instance Profiles |
IAM Instance Profiles allow you to securely deliver AWS credentials directly to your Amazon EC2 instances. You can use the updated IAM API, or the AWS Management Console to create IAM Instance Profiles, then launch instances using that profile to have your AWS credentials securely distributed to the Amazon EC2 instances running your application. The AWS SDKs make it easy to access the IAM Instance Profile credentials distributed through your EC2 instances. See below for more information on the new SDK client constructors and credentials provider implementations. The Amazon EC2 and Auto Scaling APIs have also been updated so that you can launch instances or create Auto Scaling groups that take advantage of the new, easy to use, credentials distributions feature. |
Default Client Constructors |
Each client in the AWS SDK for Java now includes a default constructor to make it even easier to work with the SDK. The default constructors use an AWSCredentialsProviderChain that chains together three new implementations of AWSCredentialsProvider that search for your AWS credentials in this order:
Developers are free to create their own custom implementations of AWSCredentialsProvider or custom chains of credentials providers using the AWSCredentialsProviderChain class. |
Auto Scaling - Spot Support |
Developers can now take advantage of reduced prices for Amazon EC2 Spot instances from their Auto Scaling groups. |
Amazon S3 - More Custom ACL Support |
The latest API update to Amazon S3 allows you to specify custom Access Control Lists (ACLs) when you upload objects. Previously you could specify a generic CannedAccessControlList at the same time as uploading an object, but the latest API update allows you to specify any custom ACL to be applied immediately when your object is uploaded. |
Amazon RDS - Option Groups |
The latest update to the Amazon RDS API adds support for option groups. Option groups are currently supported only for the Oracle DB engine. The first option to be supported is Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control. For more information, see the full release notes. |
Amazon EC2 - VM Export |
The latest update to the Amazon EC2 API allows you to export Windows Server instances that you originally imported into EC2, and adds timestamps to instance status and system status to indicate the date and time that a status check failed. For more information, see the full release notes. |
Supported API Versions
This release of the SDK supports the following API versions:

Finding The Target: How Timing Is Critical In Establishing An Olfactory Wiring Map
Stowers investigators reveal a developmental switch in targeting capacity of olfactory neurons
The human nose expresses nearly 400 odorant receptors, which allow us to distinguish a large number of scents. In mice the number of odor receptors is closer to 1000. Each olfactory neuron displays only a single type of receptor and all neurons with the same receptors are connected to the same spot, a glomerulus, in the brain. This convergence, or wiring pattern, is often described as an olfactory map. The map is important because it serves as a code book for odorants that allows the brain to distinguish between food odors and the scent of a predator, among others.
Unlike photoreceptors in the retina or hair cells in the inner ear, which cannot be replaced once damaged, olfactory neurons have the unique capacity to regenerate throughout the life. More remarkably, the regenerated neurons must dispatch their axons on a path through the nasal epithelium to the brain through a distance a thousand times the length of the cell, where they make the proper connections. If regenerating neurons are mis-wired to different glomeruli, odor perception would be altered.In the April 11, 2014 issue of Science, Associate Investigator C. Ron Yu, Ph.D. and colleagues at the Stowers Institute of Medical Research identify a developmental window during which olfactory neurons of newborn mice can form a proper wiring map. They show that if incorrect neuronal connections are maintained after this period, renewing cells will also be mis-wired.
Their results also hint at how the olfactory neurons connect to their targets. Although scientists can induce stem cells to become neurons, they know little about how to precisely steer them to make the proper connections. This work suggests additional targeting skills that stem cell-generated neurons need to acquire to repair the brain or spinal cord.
Previously, researchers thought that since olfactory neurons exhibited lifelong regeneration, they likewise retained the ability to re-establish correct connections. "We show that this is not the case," says Yu. In the report, his team uses a number of transgenic mouse lines to demonstrate that the first week after birth is a critical window of time during which incorrect projections can be restored to normal. "If mis-targeting does not get corrected within this period, cells still regenerate but many get locked onto the wrong tracks." Yu adds.
Neuronal wiring has intrigued Yu since he was a post-doc in the lab of Richard Axel, M.D., at Columbia University. Back then Yu created a genetically engineered mouse in which he could temporarily muffle the firing of olfactory neurons. He found that inactivating neurons caused them to connect to the wrong glomeruli. After joining the Stowers Institute in 2005, Yu began to wonder whether an incorrectly wired olfactory map could be restored in mice.
In this new work, Yu's team, led by first author Limei Ma, Ph.D., reports that if the silenced sensory neurons are reactivated within a week of a mouse's birth, erroneous olfactory neuron connections are restored. Beyond that critical period, however, neurons appeared to lose the capacity to make the right connections and in fact maintained connections to the wrong glomeruli.
"After the first week, we believe that newly generated neurons follow pre-existing tracks to their target," says Ma, Senior Research Specialist in the Yu lab. A key finding in the report supports this idea. The team provoked a temporary identity crisis in olfactory neurons by broadly mis-expressing an odorant receptor called M71 in cells where it would not normally be displayed. Surprisingly, only the neurons that normally express the M71 receptor targeted the "wrong" glomeruli, not the neurons that express different odorant receptors.
An interpretation of this experiment is that late-born olfactory neurons expressing a particular receptor recognize and follow a track laid down earlier by neurons expressing the very same receptor—even if the latter expressed that receptor due to experimental manipulation. "These olfactory neurons have identity tags," says Ma, referring to the receptors. "And they like to follow others displaying the same tag."
As yet, investigators have not identified the molecular basis for the targeting switch occurring at the end of one-week period. "We don't know what keeps these late stage cells from re-establishing the right connections," explains Ma. "Either the cues that guide them disappear or their axons encounter a physical barrier to the target."
Yu envisions the studies in the olfactory system will provide clues on how a regenerated neuron, either through a natural process in the case of the olfactory neuron, or by stem technology, find their target and make the right connection. "To repair a damaged spinal cord, you will need to ensure that newly generated motor neurons target the right muscle," says Yu. "The next goal is to identify the molecular cues that enable correct projections to be established."
The Yu paper is accompanied by a companion Science study led by Gilad Barnea, Ph.D., of Brown University, who reports a similar critical time period while employing a different approach. In addition to Ma, other contributors to the study include Yunming Wu, Qiang Qiu, Ph.D., Hayley Scheerer and Andrea Moran from Stowers.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Winter Hiking › Snow shelter question
Nov 11, 2012 at 8:35 am #1295948
Hi folks,
A friend of mine asked me would I post this question.
I will point him to this thread to read the replies.Cheers,
For winter camping where snow is used in the construction of a shelter (snow trenches, snow holes, dog houses, quinzees, etc.), which sleeping bag would be best suited to this purpose?In other words, which combination of sleeping bag properties (down vs synthetic fill, Pertex vs. Gore Wind Stopper shell, etc.) would present the optimal sleeping bag for snow camping without a tent?
Also, what sleeping bag temperature rating would you shoot for? As some snow shelters can warm up to just above freezing temperatures, would a bag rated for 32F/0C be ideal? Or taking into account other factors (bag taking on moisture over time–impacting thermal efficiency, the possibility of having to use a less than ideal snow shelter, where you are more exposed–such as a trench, etc.), would you shoot for a much lower temperature range (if so, what?)?
Finally, which items, if necessary, would you use to augment your sleeping bag/snow shelter combo (bivy, vbl liner, tarp, etc.–sleeping pads are a given) to efficiently perserve and maintain warmth?
Suggestions for specific product makes/models would be appreciated.
Nov 11, 2012 at 10:10 am #1927620Stephen
I think the right answer is, "it all depends" on expected weather, snow conditions, length of trip, elevation, itinerary, your expertise at building a snow shelter.I go out for relatively short trips of one to three nights in the Sierra Nevada. You often do not know if there will be enough snow to build a snow cave, and a snow trench is of course cooler than a cave.
In the Sierra Nevada most of the time below tree line the night time temperatures do not drop much below 5 or 10 degrees F. I have never been cold sleeping in my zero degree C down bag from MH. I take an old BPL bivvy sack for use inside a snow cave but most of the time end up sleeping on top of it.
I have rented various brand zero degree C synthetic bags and found 1) they took up too much room in my backpack and 2) the temperature ratings were very optimistic.
Nov 11, 2012 at 2:28 pm #1927661Thanks Bruce,
Nov 24, 2012 at 3:11 pm #1930755Because conditions can vary so much and depending on the length of your trip, I would recommend some kind of bivy to augment a down or synthetic bag. If there's no snow or not enough to build a cave, you have something of a shelter and wind break. I'm a cold sleeper so will use a bivy with my 15 degree down bag if snow caving. We have very dry conditions in Colorado so down is usually a safe bet. If you're going to the NW or NE, I would probably tend to a synthetic bag. Just my two cents…

Kim Kardashian knows from extravagant weddings. Remember her last one?
Now that the reality star is engaged to baby daddy Kanye West, for what will be marriage #3, rumor has it that the couple will be planning another spectacle of an event.
A source close to the couple tells E! News that the upcoming nuptials are "going to be huge." Though Kardashian had mentioned prior to her engagement that, should she marry again, she'd rather it be an intimate gathering with close family and friends, it appears plans may be changing.
The source says that when the chime comes for Kardashian and her rapper beau to tie the knot, "It's going to be the size of the capital … There won't be anything small about it."
West proposed to Kardashian on Monday (Oct. 21) night with a 15-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond ring, surprising her by taking over San Francisco's AT&T Park with a 50-piece orchestra.
Are you looking forward to the inevitable E! special featuring the reality couple's big day?

Dazzlingly confusing
It's heartening – and a bit mind-boggling – how Lady Gaga at 26 is already more advanced as a global force than virtually all her contemporaries, yet still seems years away from having her act together entirely.
The second half of that notion might irritate many who were on hand Sunday night at Staples Center for the provocateur's first of two sold-out dates at the arena, the long-awaited Southern California arrival of her spectacular Born This Way Ball. It's a theatrical wonder, a pyrotechnics-free explosion of outrageous sights and chest-thumping sounds that suck you into a strange futurism even when the concept makes no sense at all.
To casual admirers Gaga is a boundary-buster like we haven't seen since Madonna's taboo-rattling heyday. But to her minions – her Little Monsters, inspired to live unshackled from societal judgment – she's iconic in pervasive ways. Rarely will you find such fervent devotion between artist and audience, a bond Gaga admirably strengthens in relatable ways few performers of her magnitude indulge.
Perfect example: As she sat at a "ThunderDome"-ready piano two-thirds into her two-hour-plus performance, by which time the story line had been lost while the gimmicks were still dropping jaws, she pulled out her phone and called an overcome acolyte, a young man named Kyler (I think), to share a moment while several thousand onlookers watched and cheered.
Here was a young guy with a shaved-up hairdo, "Flashdance"-style bandanna, nail polish as sparkling as the makeup around eyes weeping with sweat. He and his boyfriend had driven all the way from Bakersfield, where they surely aren't half as accepted as they must have felt walking around L.A. And now Kyler was speaking directly to this surrogate Mother Monster, who soulfully sang part of "Born This Way" to him.
For years stars at this scale have aimed to heighten the intimacy for their idolizers, yet no one thought to try such simple outreach. The spirit it generated was palpable.
In that moment, more than during any other stunning, powerfully belted numbers, she achieved that I-am-you-as-you-are-me oneness to which she so frequently refers when addressing audiences.
Not only does she strike a raw nerve in the name of LGBT people – who may feel Rufus Wainwright's claim has been fulfilled and the Gay Messiah has come – she also proudly represents for all manner of outcasts. At this point her crusade for embracing individuality fuels her artistry more than mere naked ambition.
And yet the overall response was a bit muted compared to the outpouring she received at Honda Center two years ago.
Put that down to the L.A. effect. Kids in the Midwest soon to encounter Gaga in all her bizarre magnificence may experience rapture beyond what their daily reality can provide, but it's harder to stave off jaded restlessness out here, even amid unbound imagination and titillation. It's the unavoidable pitfall of being so over-the-top – you're only as good as your last trick, and demand for something wilder gets feverish.
The response wasn't always so intense, I suspect, because so many prim lookie-loos have intruded on this orgy of excess, like voyeurs at a swingers party who won't take off their coats. There also are convinced fans (I'm one) who still move their bodies when the beat gets infectious but otherwise stand there scrutinizing, curious to know what will come next.
Not just what comes next on stage, although spotting whoa-inducing eye-grabbers is a sport unto itself at this outlandish ball.
Get a load of her castle, for starters, complete with hidden chambers, movable towers (housing her band) and a gothic appearance like Camelot at midnight. Then there's her array of stupefying effects. She enters to "Highway Unicorn (Road to Love)" looking like a giant alien bug, nudging a mechanical horse around stage extensions. During "Heavy Metal Lover" she fleshes out the cover of her latest album, lying forward across the seat of a three-wheel motorcycle, her arms snug inside pipes down the front, one of her dancers suggestively riding her.
There's a narrative to all this, furthered by a disembodied face that speaks in computer tones while floating high above the stage. But don't ask me to explain anything, particularly since Gaga jettisons comprehensibility halfway into the production.
Granted, it remains riveting even when conceptually deficient. Outside of Roger Waters' mammoth restaging of "The Wall" and any number of marvelous Madonna monstrosities, this Kingdom of Fame is like nothing else you'll find in concert. Among today's superstars, only Kanye West, who has scaled similar heights on tour with Jay-Z and alone at Coachella, exhibits as much vision.
Yet Gaga's sprawl is ultimately a recapitulation – an often brilliant one, but a retelling of her rise to power all the same.
Will it always be so? It's much easier to redecorate, which she does frequently, than to fully reinvent, which she has yet to do at all, her greaser alter ego aside. Will the next album and tour, toasted here, bring still more oddities expressing the same free-to-be-you-and-me sentiment? That may not be enough to maintain wider enthusiasm beyond her reverent cult.

Los Angeles, CA (July 17, 2012) -- Motorcycle drifting has been the hottest trend in street motorcycling this year, with many YouTube videos posting well over 3 million views and one featuring XDL athletes Nick "Apex" Brocha and Ernie "E-Dub" Vigil even reaching almost 11 million. The subject of motorcycle drifting has been on the minds of XDL management since the beginning of the year and in the early Spring discussions ensued with Motul over starting a motorcycle drift competition. The result is the Motul Drift Battle that will feature a single rider format in which an athlete has to complete a drift course in the shortest amount of time possible and will also be judged on style. Given that XDL competes in small and large venues, the configuration will be flexible to allow for the Motul Drift Battle to be run in even the smallest XDL venues.
"There is a rather ironic twist in the development of motorcycle drifting into an XDL competition," stated XDL series founder Randy Grube. "One of the most commonly asked questions is: 'What does XDL stand for?' and I usually have to come up with a long-winded explanation. The truth is that XDL stands for 'Xtreme Drifting League,' a name that dates back to a prior lifetime when I was engaged in automotive racing and drift events. I remember getting into an argument with branding expert about 2 years ago that said the name XDL is bad because it doesn't reflect what the sport is about and he wanted to change the name, which I refused to do. Now it looks like we've come full circle and the name XDL might actually be the most fitting thing we can come up with! I'm so glad Motul came on board for this project in 2012 and I look forward to a lot of exciting riding, or rather, drifting."
"Motul has been an XDL sponsor for 2 years now, and we saw enough promise in the series to allow us to make this big jump and jointly develop content with XDL. " remarked Motul USA President Dave Wolman. "It's an exciting time because motorcycling as a form of entertainment is going global quickly with the help of video clips on YouTube and the heavy use of Facebook. XDL has a good plan and a lot of promise of growing into an strong action sports property both here in the U.S. and overseas, and we're excited to be part of the team."
2012 XDL Championship Series Schedule
R1: Budds Creek, MD - Maryland International Raceway, 7/21 & 22
R2: Long Beach, CA - Queen Mary, 8/3 & 4
R3: Indianapolis, IN - Downtown, 8/17 & 18
R4: Albuquerque, NM - NAPA Speedway, 8/31 and 9/1
Finals: Portland, OR - Portland International Raceway, 9/14 & 15

About XDL:
XDL is the only championship of its kind and is a leader in reaching the 18-34 old sportbike demographic. Each XDL event features the world's most skilled athletes squaring off in five unique competitions for over $10,000 in prize money. Since its inception in 2006 the series has built a global following in places as far off as India, Indonesia, China, Japan, Australia, France, Thailand and Eastern Europe, and in the process emerged as the fastest growing action sport in America.

This code is an Add-In for MSN Live Messenger. It updates the system time on the Messenger status after every second. It is useful in allowing the user to perform a scheduled task and notify the target user even when the source user is not available. This concept can be used widely to read Web Services, XML feeds or any database Stored Procedure to work in the same way as services.
As I was looking at this MSN Addin, I found that there are many hidden functionalities which are possible as its interface MessengerClient.dll is accessible to developers. People can do virtually anything, they can even turn off the target system. But the article suggested that only interface class function is accessible. Therefore I tried to work on this interesting application as now a days, it is used everywhere for communication.
This class TimeUpdate implements the Messenger Client Class. This code creates a Messenger Client Object and a Timer Object. timer is set to trigger after every 1000 milliseconds which allows the date to be updated. You can even change other parameters (such as name, display picture, etc.) as well. MessengerClient library is provided with MSN Live Messenger in c:/Program Files/MSN Messenger folder. To use the plugin, you need to enable the registry plugin option as used in WindowsLiveMessengerAddin article. I have pasted the steps as below.
If you want to begin programming your own new feature into MSN, you are going to try and test the plug-in. This will not work. If you remember what I said a few lines earlier, "It isn't enabled by default." To enable the feature, you must create or adapt a key in your registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\AddInFeatureEnabled must be set to 1. To turn it off, you must delete it or change its value to 0.
Now add the AddIn through MSN Messenger Options. Tools>Options>AddIns>Add To Messenger. After adding the DLL file, you need to turn on the Add-In by Selecting it from Personal Status Drop Down List.
Private MessengerClient client = null; Timer timer = null;
//Default initializer from interface class public void Initialize(MessengerClient messenger) { Client = messenger; timer = new Timer(); timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(Timer_Tick); timer.Interval = 1000; timer.Start(); Client.Shutdown += new EventHandler(Client_ShutDown); } // Timer tick event public void Timer_Tick(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs args) { Client.AddInProperties.PersonalStatusMessage = DateTime.Now.ToString(); }
It is a code just for fun and users may find it of no use to show the time in Messenger as they can see it more easily. But the idea is to provide a way to develop an intelligent Messenger which could do any task remotely. Most of the organizations block network connection while leaving the MSN port which could prove handy.
A code worm just trying to interfere in every aspect of programming.

From Russia with Love: Viking Truvor Cruise Review by Bucky Pope
Overall Member Rating
From Russia with Love
Destination: Baltic Sea
Embarkation: Moscow
As for the ship and the crew, they were very professional and accommodating. The food and service were excellent with plenty of variety including local dishes. The guides were exceptional, all native Russians, mostly from St. Petersburg. Their English was excellent and, along with local guides, they provided us with reams of information about Russian history up to the current day. They were open about their recent history and the transition from Soviet to modern day Russia. After may years of propaganda on both sides of the Iron Curtain, it was refreshing to experience the openness.
We were impressed with how clean and friendly both Moscow More and St. Petersburg were. You've read about the heat and the smog. That was a challenge but we worked around it, thanks to an air conditioned boat and tour buses.
This is an education trip, not one that you kick back and snooze ... although you can to that, but you would miss the best parts. When the trip is over, you brain is full and needs a rest. At least mine does.
Not everything was perfect. Viking advertises WiFi. It worked sporadically and when it did, the bandwidth was very narrow. I took my new iPad which does not have an Ethernet connection, which was a problem so I had less access than those with net books or laptops. I wish Viking was fix the connectivity or set expectations better.
Several people complained of feeling ill. Nothing serious but certainly took the fun out of the trip. We're not sure if someone brought a virus on board or maybe the ships water wasn't purified enough. Although hand cleansing stations were available, Viking was not as diligent as other lines in encouraging their use. I don't know if that would have helped.
All in all, the experience was well worth the money. It gets four thumbs up from us. Less

Amen to the above comments. Every time another song of Vic's comes on, I get a wave of goosebumps even stronger than the last. I'll never forget the time I introduced my mom to Vic. It was in a bar next door to the venue where he was playing. She looked at him, said, "Vic! God Damn!," grabbed a lit cigarette out of his hand, took a drag on it and handed it back to him. (OK, I think she might have had something to drink.) I'll never forget the look on Vic's face -- confusion, awe, wide-eyed wonder -- and that's the way I'll always remember him. | |

Researcher Bart Remes and his team of the Micro Aerial Vehicle Laboratory at the TU Delft faculty of Aerospace Engineering have designed, built and tested the world's smallest open source autopilot for small unmanned aircraft. A smaller -- and lighter -- autopilot allows these small flying robots to fly longer, fit into narrower spaces or carry more payloads, such as cameras. That makes them more suitable to be used in for example rescue operations. Remes: "Our aim? Make MAVs so small and light that every firefighter can fit one in his pocket."
The world's smallest autopilot
The world's smallest autopilot for micro aerial vehicles -- small flying robots that can be used in safety and rescue operations -- is called Lisa/S. It weighs 1.9 grams, more than 30 grams less than its predecessor. The autopilot measures 2 cm by 2 cm. Bart Remes, project manager at the Micro Aerial Vehicle Laboratory at TU Delft: "We programmed new software, Superbitrf, that keeps the autopilot connected to a ground station and a normal RC transmitter at the same time." This combination of functions made it possible to miniaturize the autopilot. Making the autopilot smaller and lighter allows a micro aerial vehicle to stay up in the air longer and carry heavier cameras and sensors. This makes it easier to use MAVs in for example search and rescue operations.
Watch a demonstration on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ0w51m8_LY&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Open source
The research team have chosen to develop Lisa/s open source to make it possible for users to test it and come up with suggestions for improvement. Making all the details available online also helps to make MAVs easily accessible for all. Remes: "Our aim is to make MAVs as commonplace as smartphones and laptops. Farmers can use MAVs to inspect crops for example. Our dream is that every fire fighter carries a MAV in his breast pocket to use for inspections of collapsed or burning buildings without having to go inside."

Purdue comes up short against Illinois lose, 20-16
Steve Hull caught a career-high 10 passes for 169 yards and two touchdowns to help Illinois defeat Purdue 20-16 on Saturday afternoon.
Nathan Scheelhaase completed 24 of 30 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns and Josh Ferguson ran for a career-high 115 yards for the Fighting Illini (4-7, 1-6 Big Ten), who snapped a six-game losing streak this season and a 20-game skid in conference play.
Akeem Hunt ran for a career-high 102 yards and a touchdown and Danny Etling completed 20 of 29 passes for 163 yards for Purdue, (1-10, 0-7), which has lost nine in a row.
Purdue had a chance to win late. The Boilermakers reached the Illinois 30-yard line, but Etling was pressured and threw an interception to V'Angelo Bentley to end the threat with just under a minute to play.

Fishing preserve entrepreneur Donny Beaver has dropped his court case against state agencies, thus closing the book on a lengthy battle over the public's right to fish the Little Juniata River, one of the state's most coveted trout waters.
In a letter to Commonwealth Court dated Monday, Mr. Beaver's attorneys indicated that he would drop his challenge to a ruling handed down a year ago by Huntingdon County Common Pleas Judge Stewart Kurtz, stating that the Little Juniata is navigable and open to the public.
Mr. Beaver had claimed that a section of the river was private and could be fished only by members of his club.
Mr. Beaver's appeal was tentatively scheduled to be heard in April.
"This sets precedence on the [Little Juniata]," said Dennis Whitaker of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and lead attorney for the state. "It prevents Beaver from making future legal challenges on the Little J, and discourages anyone else from doing the same thing, since case law is pretty clear that if any part of the river is navigable, the whole river is navigable."
Mr. Beaver's attorney, Douglas Y. Christian, did not return phone calls seeking comment.
Discontinuing the appeal keeps Judge Kurtz's decision legally binding only on the Little Juniata, according to John D. Echeverria, executive director of the Georgetown Environmental Law and Policy Institute at Georgetown University.
"Beaver has prevented the case from turning into legal precedent that would have binding effect across the state," he said, "although it nonetheless represents a persuasive authority with regard to other cases."
In 2003, the DEP, the Fish and Boat Commission, the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and Spruce Creek fishing guide Allan Bright sued Mr. Beaver and his Spring Ridge Club for advertising a 1.3-mile section of the river as private, and chasing non-club members from the water. The state won its case in June 2006, by proving that the river was used historically as a public highway.
Still unresolved is Mr. Bright's damage claim against Mr. Beaver and the club for lost business, although Mr. Bright's attorney, Stan Stein, said that case will now move forward.
"One would have to assume that Beaver is more willing to settle than he would have been before," he said. "Regardless, we are going to pursue Allan's claim for damages."

Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us. Feels like I was right there with you!
Thank you,
Trip Start
Mar 02, 2013
Trip End
Apr 06, 2013
Tony loved doing the research for the special places to see, and I loved seeing those special places. Day trips were always an adventure, each one teaching us something. I loved that the Provans lent us their GPS! We loved the orchard and being able to pick fruit off of the trees everyday. The weather was perfect even when it rained because it did not rain for long.
We had a wonderful holiday!
Now on to another chapter, one of them being the arrival of a new grandchild in October. Kate and Chris are very excited, as we all are. Yeah! Our family was very happy to have us home, especially our two granddaughters. We got the best hugs!
I know sometimes I have rambled on, used too many exclamation points, but I write like I talk. My father said to me many, many years ago, "if you have something to say and no one is listening write it down", well I have been writing things down ever since, but I have never shared.
Thank you for your comments, for taking the time to read and especially for listening. You never know I may pop up from time to time, but until then
Take care and keep well,
I read the stories to Mike every morning over coffee and after the food pictures Michael Flamina had me in the kitchen creating something new.
See you soon and thanks for letting us feel like part of your adventure.

Thanks for the review Project86! I just got my impressions done today and placed an order for the AC2's. They will be replacing my UM2's, which I am quite happy with, other than having to buy a new set of Comply's every week to keep a consistent fit. I feel like I'm renting my earphones sometimes haha. They will be used the majority of the time as stage monitors, but I plan on using my iPod as a source sometimes as well.
You're review reassured me that I was making a good decision, as I love my UM2's. Thanks for the contributing so much to HeadFi... and all of us newbie's out there haha!
Awesome! Please post your impressions when you get a chance. It doesn't have to be long and rambling like mine (sorry!)... just any thoughts you have would be great. As a regular UM2 user, you would have a great perspective on how similar/different the AC2 sounds.
I just saw this; great review! From your description they seem like they are different as most customs I have heard and have read about don't offer a V shaped sound signature. And your description of who you would recommend the product to seems similar to how I would recommend the TS842!
Keep up the great work!
Thanks Joe! I don't know if V shaped quite captures the sound, but I certainly don't have a better way of putting it. Westone said they don't release their frequency response charts, just as a general practice, so I really don't know. But they sure are interesting.


text: Game Farms Growing As Pillar Of Tourism Economy by Hopewell Radebe Game farming and hunting is becoming an increasingly important pillar in the economic development of the country, with an enormous capacity to improve the social, economic and cultural life of local communities, a study says. According to Prof Melville Saayman, a specialist in tourism economics, management and development at North West University, the study's results have dismissed myths about the perceived negative effects of game farming, the quality of its jobs and its input to the economy as compared to conventional livestock farming. About 20,5-million hectares (17%) of South African land are used for wildlife ranching and conservation, compared to 72,6-million hectares (59%) for commercial agriculture. About 200000 South Africans take part in hunting as a recreational activity. In a survey that measured the contribution of the industry in provincial economies using the Northern Cape as a case study, provincial government and private sector investment in the development and promotion of the industry resulted in game and hunting farming being valued at R774,3m, according to 2007-08 figures. With regard to the employment benefits in the Northern Cape, the survey sample indicates that hunting establishments employ about 5180 workers. In terms of direct employment, 2486 (48%) are coloured, 2176 (42%) are black and 518 (10%) white, of which 134 are active professional hunters, while 67 are active hunting operators. The province has at least two active black hunting operators and 15 active black professional hunters. The average farm size in the Northern Cape on which hunting is conducted is 6145ha, w hile hunting establishments have been operational on average for 16 years, dating back to the first democratic election . The Northern Cape hunting fraternity provides a bed capacity of 11972 beds, with the average bed occupancy rate standing at 48% a year. This is about 10% lower than the South African norm. However, the study highlights the fact that hunting is seasonal. Prof Saayman says the figures show that provinces and the national Department of Tourism need to "promote the industry aggressively". "It is a job creator and an active contributor to rural development," he says. Asked about the tension between stock farmers and game farmers due to suspicion that game animals are carriers of disease detrimental to cows, sheep and goats, Prof Saayman says the two can coexist and in most instances animals can even be mingled without one kind exposing the other to any danger. He says there is sufficient evidence and knowledge to properly manage animals such as blue and black wildebeest, which have to be separated from domesticated stock. Animals such as the kudu, springbok and antelope have co- existed for hundreds of years alongside farming stock. Most hunting for biltong is carried out in Limpopo (37%), followed by the Northern Cape (15%) and North West (14%). Of the animals most frequently hunted, springbok top the list, followed by impala, blesbok , kudu and warthog. Other provinces being studied include Limpopo and the Free State, where the industry has been gaining momentum. Results are expected later this year. In the technical report on the state of the wildlife-hunting and safari industry in the Waterberg district in Limpopo, Theo Venter of the South African Hunters and Game Conservation Association says there is limited infrastructure available in the country to certify game meat according to the Red Meat Safety Act. Game farmers are proposing investment in infrastructure to provide proper certification and processing services to the sector on a bigger scale. He says less than 5% of the total game population is estimated to be of trophy hunting quality, despite the high demand for trophy animals. "A trophy animal refers primarily to mature males of an appropriate quality, of which there are only so many." "This is a constraint on the future growth of the sector as it is bound by the total size of the industry's game population," Mr Venter says. Government needs to promote the industry .… It is a job creator and contributor to rural development. Source: BusinessDay
