INFORMATION ON GOODS AND SERVICES GOODS (CENSUS BASIS) Data for goods on a Census basis are compiled from the documents collected by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and reflect the movement of goods between foreign countries and the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and U.S. Foreign Trade Zones. They include government and non-government shipments of goods and exclude shipments between the United States and its territories and possessions; transactions with U.S. military, diplomatic, and consular installations abroad; U.S. goods returned to the United States by its Armed Forces; personal and household effects of travelers; and in-transit shipments. The General Imports value reflects the total arrival of merchandise from foreign countries that immediately enters consumption channels, warehouses, or Foreign Trade Zones. For imports, the value reported is the U.S. Customs and Border Protection appraised value of merchandisegenerally, the price paid for merchandise for export to the United States. Import duties, freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in bringing merchandise to the United States are excluded. Exports are valued at the f.a.s. (free alongside ship) value of merchandise at the U.S. port of export, based on the transaction price including inland freight, insurance, and other charges incurred in placing the merchandise alongside the carrier at the U.S. port of exportation. REVISION PROCEDURE (CENSUS BASIS) Monthly Revisions: Monthly data include actual month's transactions as well as a small number of transactions for previous months. Each month, the U.S. Census Bureau revises the aggregate seasonally adjusted (current and real chained-dollar) and unadjusted export, import, and trade balance figures, as well as the end-use totals for the prior month. Country detail data and commodity detail data, based on the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 4 and the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), are not revised monthly. The timing adjustment shown in Exhibit 14 is the difference between monthly data as originally reported and as recompiled. Quarterly Revisions to Chain-Weighted Dollar Series: For March, June, September, and December statistical month releases, revisions are made to the real chained-dollar series presented in Exhibits 10 and 11: the previous five months are revised to incorporate the Bureau of Labor Statistics revisions to price indexes, which are used to produce the real chained-dollar series and to align Census data with data published by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPAs). Annual Revisions: Each June, not seasonally adjusted goods data are revised to redistribute monthly data that arrived too late for inclusion in the month of transaction. In addition, revisions are made to reflect corrections received subsequent to the monthly revisions. Seasonally adjusted data are also revised to reflect recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments. These revisions are reflected in totals, end-use, commodity, and country summary data. Other Revisions: For December and January statistical month releases, each prior month of the most recent full year is revised so that the totals of the seasonally adjusted months equal the annual totals. U.S./CANADA DATA EXCHANGE AND SUBSTITUTION Data for U.S. exports to Canada are derived from import data compiled by Canada. The use of Canada's import data to produce U.S. export data requires several alignments in order to compare the two series. 1. Coverage - Canadian imports are based on country of origin. U.S. goods shipped from a third country are included. U.S. exports exclude these foreign shipments. For May 2014, these shipments totaled $186.9 million. U.S. export coverage also excludes U.S. postal shipments to Canada. For May 2014, these shipments totaled $24.1 million. U.S. import coverage includes shipments of railcars and locomotives from Canada. Effective with January 2004 statistics, Canada excludes these shipments from its goods exports to the United States, therefore creating coverage differences between the two countries for these goods. 2. Valuation - Canadian imports are valued at the point of origin in the United States. However, U.S. exports are valued at the port of exit in the United States and include inland freight charges, making the U.S. export value slightly larger than the Canadian import value. Canada requires inland freight to be reported separately from the value of the goods. Combining the inland freight and the Canadian reported import value provides a consistent valuation for all U.S. exports. Inland freight charges for May 2014 accounted for 2.2 percent of the value of U.S. exports to Canada. 3. Reexports - Unlike Canadian imports, which are based on country of origin, U.S. exports include reexports of foreign goods. Therefore, the aggregate U.S. export figure is slightly larger than the Canadian import figure. For May 2014, reexports to Canada were $4,073.5 million. 4. Exchange Rate - Average monthly exchange rates are applied to convert the published data to U.S. currency. For May 2014, the average exchange rate was 1.0894 Canadian dollars per U.S. dollar. 5. Other - There are other minor differences, such as rounding error, that are statistically insignificant. Canadian Estimates: Effective with January 2001 statistics, the current month data for exports to Canada contain an estimate for late arrivals and corrections. The following month, this estimate is replaced, in the news release exhibits only, with the actual value of late receipts and corrections. This estimate improves the current month data for exports to Canada and treats late receipts for exports to Canada in a manner that is more consistent with the treatment of late receipts for exports to other countries. NONSAMPLING ERRORS The goods data are a complete enumeration of documents collected by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and are not subject to sampling errors. Quality assurance procedures are performed at every stage of collection, processing, and tabulation. However, the data are still subject to several types of nonsampling errors. The most significant of these include reporting errors, undocumented shipments, timeliness, data capture errors, and errors in the estimation of low- valued transactions. Reporting Errors: Reporting errors are mistakes or omissions made by importers, exporters, or their agents in their import or export declarations. Most errors involve missing or invalid commodity classification codes and missing or incorrect quantities or shipping weights. They have a negligible effect on aggregate import, export, and balance of trade statistics. However, they can affect the detailed commodity statistics. Undocumented Shipments: Federal regulations require importers, exporters, or their agents to report all merchandise shipments above established exemption levels. The U.S. Census Bureau has determined that not all required documents are filed, particularly for exports. Timeliness and Data Capture Errors: The U.S. Census Bureau captures import and export information from administrative documents and through various automated collection programs. Documents may be lost, and data may be incorrectly keyed, coded, or recorded. Transactions may be included in a subsequent months statistics if received late. Low-valued Transactions: The total values of transactions valued as much as or below $2,500 for exports and $2,000 ($250 for certain quota items) for imports are estimated for each country, using factors based on the ratios of low-valued shipments to individual country totals for past periods. The U.S. Census Bureau recommends that data users incorporate this information into their analyses, as nonsampling errors could impact the conclusion drawn from the results. For a detailed discussion of errors affecting the goods data, see U.S. Merchandise Trade Statistics: A Quality Profile, available at www.census.gov/foreign-trade/aip/index.html#infopapers or from the Foreign Trade Division, U.S. Census Bureau.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR SEASONAL AND TRADING-DAY VARIATIONS Goods are initially classified under the Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (Harmonized System), which is an internationally accepted standard for the commodity classification of traded goods. The Harmonized System describes and measures the characteristics of the goods and is the basis for the systems used in the United States: Schedule B for exports and Harmonized Tariff Schedule for imports. Combining trade into approximately 140 export and 140 import end-use categories makes it possible to examine goods according to their principal uses (see Exhibits 7 and 8). These categories are used as the basis for computing the seasonal and trading-day adjusted data. These adjusted data are then summed to the six end-use aggregates for publication (see Exhibit 6). These data are provided to BEA, from the U.S. Census Bureau, for use in the NIPAs and in the U.S International Transactions Accounts (balance of payments accounts). Exhibit 19 shows goods (Census Basis) that are seasonally adjusted for selected countries and world areas. Unlike the commodity-based adjustments discussed above, these adjustments are developed and applied directly at the country and world area levels. For total exports and imports, data users should refer to the commodity-based totals shown in the other exhibits. The seasonally adjusted country and world area data will not sum to the seasonally adjusted commodity-based totals because the seasonally adjusted country and world area data and the commodity-based totals are derived from different aggregations of the export and import data and from different seasonal adjustment models. Data users should use caution drawing comparisons between the two sets of seasonally adjusted series. The seasonal adjustment procedure (X13-ARIMA-SEATS) is based on a model that estimates the monthly movements as percentages above or below the general level of series (unlike other methods that redistribute the actual series values over the calendar year). Because the data series for aircraft is highly variable, users studying data trends may wish to analyze aircraft separately from other trade. ADJUSTMENTS FOR PRICE CHANGE Data adjusted for seasonal variation on a chained-dollar basis (2009 base year) are presented in Exhibits 10 and 11. This adjustment for price change is done using the Fisher chain-weighted methodology. The deflators are primarily based on the monthly price indexes published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics using techniques developed for the NIPAs by BEA. PRINCIPAL COMMODITIES Goods data appearing in Exhibit 15 are classified in terms of the SITC Revision 4, with the exception of agricultural and manufactured goods. Agricultural goods are defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA); they consist of non-marine food products and other products of agriculture that have not passed through complex processes of manufacture. Manufactured goods conform to the NAICS; they consist of goods that have been mechanically, physically, or chemically transformed. USDA agricultural goods and NAICS manufactured goods are not mutually exclusive categories. Reexports are foreign merchandise entering the country as imports and then exported in substantially the same condition as when imported. Reexports, included in overall export totals, appear as separate line items in Exhibit 15. ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS About 500 of some 22,000 Schedule B and Harmonized Tariff Schedule classification codes used in reporting U.S. merchandise trade are identified as "advanced technology" codes, and they meet the following criteria: 1. The code contains products whose technology is from a recognized high technology field (e.g., biotechnology). 2. These products represent leading edge technology in that field. 3. Such products constitute a significant part of all items covered in the selected classification code. The aggregation of the goods results in a measure of advanced technology trade that appears in Exhibits 16 and 16a. This product- and commodity-based measure of advanced technology differs from broader NAICS-based measures, which include all goods produced by a particular industry group, regardless of the level of technology embodied in the goods. GOODS (BALANCE OF PAYMENTS BASIS) AND SERVICES Quarterly and annual statistics for goods on a balance of payments (BOP) basis and for services are included in the U.S. International Transactions Accounts (ITAs), which are published by BEA in news releases in March, June, September, and December and in the Survey of Current Business in the January, April, July, and October issues. The next release of the ITAs is scheduled for September 17, 2014. The Survey of Current Business is available online at www.bea.gov/scb/index.htm. GOODS (BALANCE OF PAYMENTS BASIS) Goods on a Census basis are adjusted by BEA to a BOP basis to align the data with the concepts and definitions used to prepare the international and national economic accounts. These adjustments, which are applied separately to exports and imports, are necessary to supplement coverage of the Census data, to eliminate duplication of transactions recorded elsewhere in the international accounts, and to value transactions at market prices. They include both additions to and deductions from goods on a Census basis and are presented in this release as net adjustments. Adjustments that exhibit significant seasonal patterns are seasonally adjusted. BEA also publishes more detailed quarterly and annual statistics for net adjustments in ITA Table 2.4. U.S. International Trade in Goods, Balance of Payments Adjustments and in the January, April, July, and October issues of the Survey of Current Business. The export adjustments include: Exports under U.S. military sales contracts - This adjustment reflects the net amount of two separate adjustments. BEA first deducts goods identified in the Census data as exports under the U.S. Foreign Military Sales program. BEA then adds primary source data for these exports, which are reported to BEA by the U.S. Department of Defense. Gold exports, nonmonetary - This addition is made for gold that is purchased by foreign official agencies from private dealers in the United States and held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Census data only include gold that leaves the U.S. customs territory. Goods procured in U.S. ports by foreign carriers - This addition is made for foreign air and ocean carriers fuel purchases in U.S. ports. Net exports of goods under merchanting - This addition is made to include the net value of the purchase and subsequent resale of goods abroad without the goods entering the United States. Because these goods do not cross the U.S. customs frontier, their value is not recorded in the Census data. Other adjustments to exports include: Deductions for equipment repairs (parts and labor), developed motion picture film, and military grant-aid. Additions for sales of fish caught in U.S. territorial waters, exports of electricity to Mexico, private gift parcels, vessels and oil rigs for which ownership changes, valuation of software exports at market value, and low-value (below reporting threshold) transactions for 19992009 to phase in a revised Census Bureau low-value methodology that was implemented for goods on a Census basis beginning with statistics for 2010. The import adjustments include: Gold imports, nonmonetary - This addition is made for gold sold by foreign official agencies to private purchasers out of stock held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The Census data only include gold that enters the U.S. customs territory. Goods procured in foreign ports by U.S. carriers - This addition is made for U.S. air and ocean carriers fuel purchases in foreign ports. Imports by U.S. military agencies - This addition is made for purchases of goods abroad by U.S. military agencies, which are reported to BEA by the U.S. Department of Defense. The Census data only include imports of goods by U.S. military agencies that enter the U.S. customs territory. Inland freight in Canada and Mexico - This addition is made for inland freight in Canada and Mexico. Imports of goods from all countries should be valued at the customs valuethe value at the foreign port of export including inland freight charges. For imports from Canada and Mexico, this should be the cost of the goods at the U.S. border. However, the customs value for imports for certain Canadian and Mexican goods is the point of origin in Canada or Mexico. BEA makes an addition for the inland freight charges of transporting these goods to the U.S. border to make the value comparable to the customs value reported for imports from other countries. Other adjustments to imports include: Deductions for equipment repairs (parts and labor), repairs to U.S. vessels abroad, and developed motion picture film. Additions for non-reported imports of locomotives and railcars, imports of electricity from Mexico, conversion of vessels for commercial use, valuation of software imports at market value, and low-value (below reporting threshold) transactions for 19992009 to phase in a revised Census Bureau low-value methodology that was implemented for goods on a Census basis beginning with statistics for 2010. SERVICES The services statistics cover transactions between foreign countries and the 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other U.S. territories and possessions. Transactions with U.S. military, diplomatic, and consular installations abroad are excluded because these installations are considered to be part of the U.S. economy. Services statistics are based on quarterly, annual, and benchmark surveys and information obtained from monthly government and industry reports. For categories for which monthly data are not available, monthly statistics are derived from quarterly statistics through temporal distribution, or interpolation. The interpolation methodology used by BEA is the modified Denton proportional first difference method. This method preserves the pattern of the monthly indicator series, if available, while satisfying the annual aggregation constraints. See An Empirical Review of Methods for Temporal Distribution and Interpolation in the National Accounts for more information. Services are seasonally adjusted when statistically significant seasonal patterns are present. Services are shown in nine broad categories. The following is a brief description of the types of services included in each category: Maintenance and repair services n.i.e. (not included elsewhere) - Consists of maintenance and repair services performed by residents of one country on goods that are owned by residents of another country. The repairs may be performed at the site of the repair facility or elsewhere. Excludes such services in which the cost is included in the price of the goods and is not billed separately or is declared as a part of the price of the goods on the import or export declaration filed with the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Maintenance and repair of ships, aircraft, and other transport equipment are included under transport services, and maintenance and repair of computers are included under computer services. Transport - Consists of transactions associated with moving people and freight from one location to another and includes related supporting and auxiliary services. Transport covers all modes of transportation, including air, sea, rail, road, space, and pipeline. Postal and courier services and port services, which cover cargo handling, storage and warehousing, and other related transport services, are also included. Travel (for all purposes including education) - Includes goods and services acquired by nonresidents while abroad. A traveler is defined as a person who stays, or intends to stay, for less than one year in a country of which he or she is not a resident or as a nonresident whose purpose is to obtain education or medical treatment, no matter how long the stay. Purchases can be either for own use or for gifts to others. Travel is a transactor-based component that covers a variety of goods and services, primarily lodging, meals, transportation in the country of travel, amusement, entertainment, and gifts. Excludes air passenger services for travel between countries, which are included in transport, and goods for resale, which are included in goods. Travel includes business and personal travel. Business travel covers goods and services acquired for use by persons whose primary purpose for travel is for business (including goods and services for which business travelers are reimbursed by employers). Business travel also includes expenditures by border, seasonal, and other short-term workers in their economy of employment. Personal travel covers travel for all non-business purposes, including for medical or educational purposes. Insurance services - Includes the direct insurance services of providing life insurance and annuities, non-life (property and casualty) insurance, reinsurance, freight insurance, and auxiliary insurance services. Insurance is measured as gross premiums earned plus premium supplements less claims payable, with an adjustment for claims volatility. Premium supplements represent investment income from insurance reserves, which are attributed to policyholders who are treated as paying the income back to the insurer. Auxiliary insurance services include agents commissions, brokerage services, insurance consulting services, actuarial services, and other insurance services. Financial services - Includes financial intermediary and auxiliary services, except insurance services. These services include those normally provided by banks and other financial institutions. Services primarily include those for which an explicit commission or a fee is charged; implicit fees for bond transactions, measured as the difference between bid and ask prices, are also included. Services include securities brokerage and underwriting, financial management, financial advisory, and custody services; credit and other credit-related services; and securities lending, electronic funds transfer, and other services. Charges for the use of intellectual property n.i.e. - Includes charges for the use of proprietary rights, such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights, and charges for licenses to use, reproduce, distribute, and sell or purchase intellectual property. Telecommunications, computer, and information services - Telecommunications services include the broadcast or transmission of sound, images, data, or other information by electronic means. These services do not include the value of the information transmitted. Computer services consist of hardware- and software-related services and data processing services. Sales of customized software and related use licenses, as well as licenses to use non-customized software with a periodic license fee, are also included, as is software downloaded or otherwise electronically delivered. Cross-border transactions in non-customized packaged software with a license for perpetual use are included in goods. Information services include news agency services, database services, and web search portals. Other business services - Consists of research and development services, professional and management consulting services, and technical, trade-related, and other business services. Research and development services include services associated with basic and applied research and experimental development of new products and processes. Professional and management consulting services include legal services, accounting, management consulting, managerial services, public relations services, advertising, and market research. Amounts received by a parent company from its affiliates for general overhead expenses related to these services are included. Technical, trade-related, and other business services include architectural and engineering, construction, audio-visual, waste treatment, operational leasing, trade-related, and other business services. Government goods and services n.i.e. - Includes goods and services supplied by and to enclaves, such as embassies, military bases, and international organizations; goods and services acquired from the host economy by diplomats, consular staff, and military personnel located abroad and their dependents; and services supplied by and to governments that are not included in other services categories. Services supplied by and to governments are classified to specific services categories when source data permit. GOODS (BOP BASIS) AND SERVICES BY COUNTRY AND AREA Monthly country and area detail is not available for goods on a BOP basis or for services. However, quarterly statistics on goods on a BOP basis and on services that are seasonally adjusted by geography are shown in Exhibit 20. Unlike the seasonal adjustments by commodity and by service type that are applied to the global totals, these adjustments are developed and applied directly at the country and world area levels. For total exports and imports, data users should refer to the by-commodity and by-service type totals shown in the other exhibits. The seasonally adjusted country and world area data will not sum to the seasonally adjusted by-commodity and by-service type totals because the two sets of statistics are derived from different aggregations of the export and import data and from different seasonal adjustment models. Data users should use caution drawing comparisons between the two sets of seasonally adjusted series. The definitions of the world areas shown in Exhibit 20 are consistent with the definitions for goods on a Census basis (see AREA GROUPINGS above) with a few exceptions. For services, CAFTA-DR is not available because trade with this areas member countries cannot be separately identified. For goods on a BOP basis and for services, European Union and OPEC reflect the composition of the areas as they were at the time of reporting. REVISION PROCEDURE (GOODS ON A BOP BASIS AND SERVICES) Monthly Revisions: Each month, a preliminary estimate for the current month and a revised estimate for the immediately preceding month are released. After the initial revision, no further revisions are made to a month until more complete source data become available in March, June, September, and December. Quarterly Revisions: The releases in March, June, September, and December contain revised estimates for the previous six months to incorporate more comprehensive and updated source data. Annual Revisions: Each June, historical data are revised to incorporate newly available and revised source data, changes in definitions and classifications, and changes in estimation methods. Seasonally adjusted data are also revised to reflect recalculated seasonal and trading-day adjustments. Other Revisions: The release in February contains revisions to goods for January through November of the most recent year and the release in March contains revisions to both goods and services for all months of the most recent year. These revisions result from forcing the seasonally adjusted months to equal the annual totals. DATA AVAILABILITY The U.S. International Trade in Goods and Services news release (FT-900) and the FT-900 Supplement are available at the following: www.census.gov/ft900 www.bea.gov/newsreleases/international/trade/tradnewsrelease.htm MONTHLY RELEASE SCHEDULE Statistical Month Date Day January 03-07-14 Friday February 04-03-14 Thursday March 05-06-14 Tuesday April 06-04-14 Wednesday May 07-03-14 Thursday June 08-06-14 Wednesday July 09-04-14 Thursday August 10-03-14 Friday September 11-04-14 Tuesday October 12-05-14 Friday

Victim in alleged rape at Pitt Meadows rave appeals for more witnesses
A day after charges against her alleged attacker were stayed, a teenage girl maintained Wednesday that she was sexually assaulted at a Pitt Meadows rave party in 2010.
"No one, including myself, would let this happen to them willingly," she said, flanked by her father at the South Bonson Community Centre in Pitt Meadows.
"I have often wondered why women never report when they are sexually assaulted. Now I know why. It's a he said, she said thing. I am devastated that this case did not proceed."
Crown entered a stay of proceedings Tuesday against Colton Ashton McMorris on one count of sexual assault, saying the available evidence did not provide a substantial likelihood of conviction.
A trial for McMorris was scheduled to begin Feb. 27.
Lawyer for accused in Pitt rave says client "innocent until proven guilty"
The girl and her father insist a code of silence still persists amongst the teens who were at the rave. The girl, who was 16 years old at the time of the incident, pleaded for more witnesses to speak to RCMP.
"I am asking you to please come forward, no matter how small and insignificant you may think it is. Please, please, please, come forward. It would mean the world to me and my family."
Her father also urged the teens to "do the right thing."
"I want to address to the individuals who observed the happenings ...that night who have never come forward to offer what they observed," he said.
"It's never too late to do that."
The alleged assault took place at at "Another Night in Bangkok," a party held on a farm at 12993 Harris Road on 10 Sept. 2010.
Hundreds of teens and young adults attended the party. Police learned of the alleged assault after graphic photographs appeared on Facebook.
Six days later, on Sept. 16, police called a press conference to stop the distribution of the photographs which were as spreading like "wildfire" on the Internet and used strong words to describe the alleged assault.
"Make no mistake, this girl was raped, likely drugged and abused by numerous people," said Sgt. Jennifer Hyland, the officer in charge of Ridge Meadows RCMP's serious crime unit shortly after the incident.
Although police are no longer using the term "rape", Sgt. Peter Thiessen insists an assault took place at the rave, and it likely involved more than one person.
"We still believe and have evidence to support the belief that there was absolutely a sexual assault that occurred here," said Thiessen on Wednesday.
"It is quite likely and we strongly believe it involved more than one individual."
Thiessen bristled at suggestions that police had blown up the alleged assault.
"I can assure you knowing the content of these photos, it was not exaggerated what happen to this girl," he said.
"I would say if anybody heard the details of what this girl experienced, we wouldn't be having this discussion. I can assure you, you will all be shocked by these photos."
Police continue to investigate the allegations and joined the family in calling for more witnesses to come forward.
"There is more evidence out there. We simply need to tap into that evidence. We have done everything we possibly can," said Thiessen. "Investigators have worked day and night since September of 2010 on this investigation. It is unfortunate that it has resulted in a stay of proceedings but our investigators are not going to give up."
McMorris was the only person charged with sexual assault, although police believe more than one person participated in it and dozens watched.
Besides McMorris, two others faced charges following the rave.
A teenage boy, who was initially charged with making and distributing child pornography, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of distributing obscene material and was sentence Feb. 10 to 12 months probation.
Dennis John Allen Warrington, 20, faces a charge of making and distributing child pornography. His trial is set to begin in September.

Shopping Info
Petzl Men's Sama Rock Climbing Harness - The Men's Sama Rock Climbing Harness by Petzl is ideal for sport climbing. With its EndoFrame construction, it provides excellent weight distribution around the waist and legs to ensure optimal comfort. The waistbelt and leg loops have double straps while the waistbelt is wider on the sides. There are no compression points or chafing zones on the waistbelt because there are no crossing seams, and the elastic leg loops remain adjusted and offer complete freedom of movement. The DoubleBack Light buckle allows quick and easy adjustment of the waistbelt, while high-tenacity polyethylene tie-in points improve resistance to rope friction and a red wear indicator on lower bridge easily identifies when the harness should be retired. The Sama has four equipment loops, two rigid loops in front for quick and easy access to equipment and two flexible ones in the rear to avoid creating pressure points with a backpack. It also features two slots for CARITOOL tool holder (not included), a rear loop for haul rope and detachable elastic leg loop straps. The Men's SAMA Climbing Harness provides a comfortable fit in a practical design.
Sizing for Men's Sama Rock Climbing Harness:
Great value for the money, Extremely comfortable and lightweight. Look great and feels great, what more can you ask for! Definitely my go to harness! I was worried about the sizing, as I work out frequently and focus on legs which the "average" climber doesn't really do. Needless to say, I wear a size 30 waist and my thighs are 23" and with the medium the leg loop holes are very snug, any more and it would be uncomfortable. The waistband cinches almost all the way down. I'm extremely happy i did not purchase the small!
Kerry L Happle
I wanted the ease of having a light, fitted harness, and not having to worry about cinching, and un-cinching leg loops. However, I had a really tough time trying to determine the size according to Petzl's size chart on their website. I ended up ordering a Large because my leg size was at the top tier of the medium sizing for leg loops. I am 5'10 175lbs and my thigh measurements with loose gym pants were 59cm. So far, the harness feels great, I've only worn it once climbing so I anticipate a bit of stretching, but very comfortable so far. I will update this review when I spend more time with it. Update: The ease of this harness is great! Once the waist strap is loosened its super easy to step out of, no hassle! However, I noticed the waist size is a bit big for me. The large fits great as far as the legs are concerned, but I have to cinch the waist down quite a bit. My waist with a t-shirt measures around 84cm. Hasn't given me any problems yet, but it would be nice to have more room if it stretches. According to Petzl's sizing, I could have gone with a Medium, but I would've risked sitting too tight in the legs, which could've made the harness very uncomfortable. If I happen to come across a Medium to try, I'll update the review once more, but so far, very pleased with the Large size and the harness.

Now here's one to reduce the oversupply in the housing market. As the reluctant owners of vast amounts of foreclosed and abandoned houses it can't sell, Bank of America is going to start bulldozing patches of them.
The bank is working with local housing partnerships to donate some of the houses and pay for the demolition of others. BofA will pay as much as $7,500 per tear-down. Some of the houses are worth less than $10,000.
They're giving up 100 properties in Detroit, 150 in Chicago and will be doing the same in nine other cities.
"Donating a house may create an income-tax deduction, said Robert Willens, an independent accounting analyst based in New York. A bank might deduct as much as the fair market value if a home wasn't acquired with the explicit intent of knocking it down," reports SF Gate.

Assessed Navigation Accuracy – part 2
Technorati Tags: navigation accuracy,gps,navigation,dgps,waas,ephemeris,atomic clock,ephemeris error,survey
So, if you read part 1 of this topic, you know that we need to determine the navigation satellite's ephemeris and clock errors - because those somehow affect the accuracy of your receiver. As mentioned in the previous post, these errors are the same (mostly) as those broadcast by dgps systems - so how do dgps systems determine the errors? Its actually pretty cool. We know how a receiver works - it moves and it's position updates as it moves around - the position being calculated by the governing navigation equations. Suppose the receiver was fixed at a known (surveyed) location? It's location is no longer an unknown in the navigation equations - now we can take the satellite position as an unknown and solve for it instead. Since the satellite is broadcasting it's precise (predicted) position, we can difference the two and get the ephemeris error. Easy.
What about the clock error? Well, we'd need a 'surveyed' clock state to compare the satellite's clock state against. This is achieved at some monitoring stations (as these fixed stations are known) by using a local atomic clock to compare states against. Other techniques exist as well, such as syncing to the USNO time standard.
Two problems occur when calculating the difference in this manner:
- They difference data becomes spatially decorrelated
- The data is noisy
Let's look at the second problem first. Measured data is noisy by definition. Many types of measurement errors can be included in any measurement. One common resolution to this problem is to use a filter to smooth the measurements. In the case of GPS measurements, a Kalman filter is commonly used in practice. The output of the filter is a smoothed measurement, providing a better estimate of the ephemeris or clock error. We'll use this result to solve the first problem.
The first problem arises out of the fact that the differences are good for that location only. As you start to move away from the surveyed location where the difference was calculated, it becomes less and less effective. This is because the differences were determined using specific line-of-sight paths through the atmosphere - the farther you move away from the station, the more the line-of-sight paths change. How can you overcome this spatial decorrelation?
In practice, at the GPS Master Control Station, (and in other operational global differential networks) this is overcome by using the smoothed estimate for the clock and ephemeris error for any location on the globe. There is a chance that the estimated error will diverge from the observed error, but the more surveyed stations there are supplying observations, the smaller the chance. Judicious measurement weighting and Kalman filter tuning can also reduce that likelihood.
So what do these ephemeris and clock errors look like over time? Which one affects your receiver's accuracy more? Is there a plot?
Here are the errors for the entire constellation for a whole day:
Y axis in meters |
Y axis in meters |
Notice how some of these errors tend to run off. This is the estimate diverging from the predicted, broadcast ephemeris or clock state. When these divergences get too big, new ephemeris predictions are made and a new upload is sent to the satellite, bringing the age of data back to zero and the ephemeris and clock errors back to zero (or close to zero).
So how do these errors combine to provide the error your receiver will experience?
Ahhhh, now you have to wait until Part 3.
Smooth sailing! (...maybe smoothed sailing? )

Just as power suits transitioned away from dark, dull and boxy, with the growing influence of women in the workplace, so too are laptops slimming down, lightening up and being designed with a more stylish clientele in mind. This trend was in evidence on Sept. 12, when fashion icon Vivienne Tam sent her models walking down the runway at New York City's Fashion Week holding her latest collaboration with Hewlett-Packard, the HP Vivienne Tam digital clutch.
The "clutch" is a netbook with the look of an evening bag, and features a Tam-designed theme called "Butterfly Lovers," reportedly based on a classic Chinese love story. It's a peachy-tan, with an enormous orange, Monarch-ish butterfly dominating the netbook's cover, beside two smaller butterflies with yellow and pink accents.
"I'm excited to partner with HP again on a new design that truly embodies my inspiration for the new spring collection," said Tam in a statement. "When women around the globe carry HP's digital clutch and wear my clothes, I want them to feel beautiful and confident."
Tam's previous effort with the computer maker, titled "China Chic," debuted at 2008's Fashion Week and was a hot-hued, velvet-looking theme of pink and purple peonies on a blood-red background. It featured a 10.1-inch-display, a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, 1GB of RAM, 60GB of storage and the Windows XP Home operating system. The price tag-rather high end for a netbook-was $699.99.
Butterfly Lovers will come at the same price, though the specs of the device are yet unknown. It will arrive in spring 2010, along with Tam's spring line.
"With her spring collection, Tam debuts HP's next tech must-have," said HP's Satjiv S. Chahil, in a statement. "Products as beautiful as those Vivienne makes deserve to be presented in an inspiring, unique retail experience, so we've extended our partnership to showcase her line in Vivienne's Soho boutique."
Other beautiful and recent PC efforts include Dell's Adamo-something of a long-limbed beauty, dubbed the world's thinnest laptop at its March 17 release. And like HP, competitors such as Dell these days also offer notebooks in a range of colors meant to add personalization-and some prettiness-to the silver-and-black universe of PCs. Apple, which lately sticks to snow white and metallics, was an earlier innovator, with its candy-colored iMacs in the late-90s.
"Acer also offered some colors at the very beginning, but they were very muted mauves and turquoise, which-if they didn't match your interior, what were you going to do with those?" Roger Kay, president of Endpoint Technologies, told eWEEK. "They weren't very bold about it, and it didn't work out for them."
Kay points out IBM's use of black with red accents, but says that Apple, with its bold use of color, gets the credit for making color an important feature and a "dramatic dimension."
As for the HP Tam digital clutch, Kay says it creates an upmarket halo effect over HP.
"In other words, I don't know how many Vivienne Tams HP will sell, but it creates a halo over the HP line overall, which is a good thing for HP," said Kay. "For what you're getting, though, you're really paying a premium."
HP, Vivienne Tam Offer the Fashionable Digital 'Clutch' Netbook
New York Fashion Week audiences caught a glimpse of HP's newest netbook, the HP Vivienne digital clutch, set to debut in the spring with Tam's spring 2010 collection. It's covered with a soft-colored design of Tam's creation, titled 'Butterfly Lovers.'

ADDISON COUNTY — Spring is in the air, the days are getting longer and for some homes and businesses, the increased sun exposure may mean more than starting gardens, wearing shorts and slathering on SPF-65.
A growing number of homeowners around Addison County are considering putting photovoltaic solar panels on their rooftops or in their yards, which until recently constituted a substantial up-front investment — from $10,000 to $100,000, depending on the size of the home and the location.
VERGENNES — Vergennes city council members at their meeting last week said they will almost certainly fill the vacancy on the council at their April 9 meeting, and two candidates have emerged for the vacancy created when Alderman Bill Benton won a race for mayor on March 5.

Hey Bee,
I will be on this tour – I'm also travelling alone.
I've previously done Best of USA tour back in 2010 and found that I didn't have enough time in NY so I'm going back for more.
I did do a bike tour thru Central Park which was great – you should do that. - 0 people like this

I was almost a lunchtime regular when this very authentic bistro was opened by Charles Zadayan of French Pastry Shoppe fame. Favorites were the excellent frites mentioned by Twinkly, the fresh sardines, the fish soup, and the crème brulée.
While I wasn't looking the Zadayan family sold the place -- imagine the nerve of these people! On a recent re-visit with a party of six, we were all very very impressed. The service was excellent, speedy and bi-lingual, and the menu had something for all of us. The frites are still the best in town and have shrunk almost to alumette size. The fresh sardines went away (the only place left serving them, to my knowledge, is Sea Rocket) but the fish soup and c.b. still reign. Also singled out for praise were the veal stew with wild shrooms and the trout. A request for Chardonnay brought a workmanlike bottle whose origin was no more precisely defined than "Languedoc" (a vast area of SW France noted for affordable vins de table). As it so happens, this suits us very well.
Update on your headers, Reader-Food-Gurus: Outdoor seating and Reservations are both YES. Check with them about delivery (I doubt it).
This small and cozy place shows some signs of struggling in the current atmosphere of credit crunch and swine flu. It deserves to thrive.

Kenny Chesney is knocking down a tabloid report that he's engaged.
"Kenny Chesney is not getting married. He's not engaged. He's not planning on being engaged any time in the near future," his rep tells People. "In fact, he was surprised by the news and isn't sure how or why anyone would've gotten that idea. As he recently told PEOPLE, 'I enjoy being a bachelor. I enjoy everything that comes along with it.'"
Chesney, 40, recently won the coveted entertainer of the year award at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Tom Gehrels
Tom Gehrels | |
Gehrels at Spacewatch Telescope 1980's
Born | Haarlemmermeer, the Netherlands |
February 21, 1925
Died | July 11, 2011 Tucson, Arizona, United States |
(aged 86)
Nationality | Dutch–American |
Occupation | Astronomer |
Anton M.J. "Tom" Gehrels[1] (February 21, 1925 – July 11, 2011) was a Dutch–American[2] astronomer, Professor of Planetary Sciences, and Astronomer at the University of Arizona, Tucson.
Youth and education[edit]
Gehrels was born at Haarlemmermeer, the Netherlands on February 21, 1925. During World War II he was, as a teenager, active in the Dutch Resistance.[1] After he escaped to England, he was sent back by parachute as an organizer for Special Operations Executive SOE committing sabotage against the German forces.[1]
After the war, he attended the University of Leiden where he graduated with a degree in physics and astronomy in 1951. He continued his education at the University of Chicago where he obtained his doctorate in astronomy and astrophysics in 1956 under Professor Hamza[citation needed]. In 1960, he moved to the University of Arizona along with Gerard Kuiper where he would remain for the next 50 years.[3]
Astronomical work[edit]
64P/Swift-Gehrels* | 8 February 1973 |
78P/Gehrels 2 | 29 September 1973 |
82P/Gehrels 3 | 27 October 1975 |

1979 Sakharov | 24 September 1960 |
2247 Hiroshima | 24 September 1960 |
also see Discoveries by Tom Gehrels |
Gehrels pioneered the first photometric system of asteroids in the 1950s, and wavelength dependence of polarization of stars and planets in the 1960s, each resulting in an extended sequence of papers in the Astronomical Journal.
He discovered, jointly with the husband and wife team of Cornelis Johannes van Houten and Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld, over 4000 asteroids, including Apollo asteroids, Amor asteroids, as well as dozens of Trojan asteroids. That was done in a sky survey using the 48-inch Schmidt telescope at Palomar Observatory and shipping the plates to the two Dutch astronomers at Leiden Observatory, who analyzed them for new asteroids. The trio are jointly credited with several thousand discoveries. Gehrels also discovered a number of comets.
He was Principal Investigator for the Imaging Photopolarimeter experiment on the Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 first flybys of Jupiter and Saturn in the 1970s.
Gehrels initiated the Space Science Series of textbooks, was General Editor for the first 30 volumes of the University of Arizona Press, and set the style by participating in the editing of six of them.[3] He also initiated the Spacewatch program in 1980 and was its Principal Investigator (PI) for electronic surveying to obtain statistics of asteroids and comets, including near-Earth asteroids. Bob McMillan was co-investigator and manager, and became the PI in 1997.
Gehrels taught an undergraduate course for non-science majors in Tucson in the Fall, and lectured a brief version of that in the Spring at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad, India. His recent research was on universal evolution,[3] which was woven in as the guiding thread through these courses. He was the named winner of the 2007 Harold Masursky Award for his outstanding service to planetary science.
Gehrels was requested by the Journal Nature to write a review on a book regarding Wernher von Braun, in which he quotes inmates of concentration camp Dora. He has therefore charged that von Braun was there regularly and much in charge, and that von Braun bears greater responsibility and guilt than his official biography would imply.[5] Towards the end of the book review it reads: Von Braun needs no phony defense, for he was a great man in his own scientific specialization... What is needed is a more sophisticated historical perspective....
Tom Gehrels was the husband of Aleida J. Gehrels (née de Stoppelaar) and father of Neil Gehrels, George Gehrels and Jo-Ann Gehrels. He died in Tucson, Arizona. The minor planet 1777 Gehrels was named in his honour.[6] The professional and personal papers of Tom Gehrels are held at the University of Arizona.

Please Note: A student must complete the level of language in which s/he was placed. If a student believes that s/he has been placed in an inappropriate level, the student must talk with both his/her professor and the Chair of the Foreign Language Department about his/er concerns. Only in extraordinary circumstances will a student be permitted to drop down to a lower level of language.
- Students who have insufficient preparation for language study at the second year level must meet with the Chair of the Department of Modern and Classical Languages to discuss options for satifying the foreign language reuqirement.
- Students whose primary language is not English may request permission to satisfy the language requirement by completing comparable courses in English.
- Students with a documented learning difference may also request permission to satisfy the language requirement in an alternate manner.
Fine & Performing Arts or Literature (One course)
This requirement may be satisfied by choosing one course from the Departments of Art, English, Music, Theater & Film, or Modern & Classical Languages. Please note that some of these courses may have pre-requisites.- In the Art Department, this requirement may be satisfied by any course offering 3 credits or more.
- In Music, Theater & Film Department, this requirement may be satisfied by any course offering 3 or more credits.
- In the English Department, this requirement may be satisfied by any English literature course. Theory and writing courses do not fulfill the GER Art/Lit requirement unless noted.

- Students may also fulfill this requirement by earning a 4 or a 5 on one of the following AP exams:
- History of Art (credit for ART 101 or 102)
- Music Theory (credit for MTF 151)
Mathematics (Two courses)
Unless particular courses are specified by the major department, students may fulfill the mathematics requirement by completing any two mathematics courses (normally both semesters of a two-course sequence) for which they qualify. For additional information and a list of GER math courses offered, please see the GER Registration Help page.[top]
Natural Sciences (Two courses)
Two courses are required. Some major concentrations specify particular natural science GER courses that their students should take to satisfy the natural science requirement. For those majors that do not specify a particular natural science, students may consider the following courses designed for non-science majors. Some of these are offered every semester, some in a fall and spring sequence. For a list of GER natural science courses offered next semester, please see the GER Registration Help page. Below are examples of courses that will fulfill the natural science GE requirement for non-science CAS majors:Biology
160 Heredity & Evolution
161 The Human Organism
165/165L Exploring the Living World (lab-based science designed for non-science majors)
100 Chem for the Consumer
Environmental Science

Philosophy (one course in addition to the Human Person and Moral Foundations)
In addition to the two philosophy courses specified under the GER common courses, all students are required to complete a third course of their choosing. PHL 101 is a pre-requisite to all other courses offered in the department. Choices for a third level course include PHL 201 Knowledge & Existence and other select courses numbered PHL 250 – 470. Please note that PHL 318 Legal Theory and PHL 320 Business, Society & Ethics do NOT fulfill the 3rd level Philosophy. See the GER Registration Help Page for a complete list of 3rd level courses.
Some majors require a specific third philosophy course (e.g., Fine Arts Majors are required to complete the Philosophy of Art; IHS majors are required to complete Philosophy of Science or Philosophy of Death).
Social/Behavioral Sciences (Three courses)
The social/behavioral sciences requirement requires three courses from economics, education, political science, psychology, or sociology, with no more than two courses from one area. Review your major requirements to determine if your major requires specific courses. Please check the SJU catalog to confirm if a class in one of these areas will fulfill this GER requirement. Below are examples of courses in each of these areas (please note that this is not an exhaustive list):
ECN 101 Microeconomics and ECN 102 Macroeconomics. ECN 101 is not a pre-requisite to ECN 102. These are the two introductory courses for economics. Other courses may fulfill this GER, assuming you have completed any required pre-requisite courses.
SOC 101 and SOC 102 may be taken independently, and either course serves as prerequisite for upper division courses in sociology which also satisfy the GER.
PSY 100 – 124 are courses specifically designed to satisfy the social/behavioral sciences requirement. Courses at the 200 level or above may be taken to satisfy the requirement if the student has completed the required pre-requisite courses.
Political Science
Any introductory or upper division course will meet this GER requirement. Some introductory level courses include:
POL 111 Introduction to American Government and Politics
POL 113 Introduction to Comparative Politics
POL 115 Introduction to International Politics
POL 117 Introduction to Political Thought
EDU 160/160F Schools in Society and EDU 151/151F Development, Cognition, & Learning will satisfy the GER social science requirement. Please note that both of these courses require 3 hours of fieldwork per week in addition to class time. Please check the SJU Catalog for additional education courses that may meet this requirement.

Why Start Fencing?
Great exercise, meet new friends, learn a new skill and it's a great conversation starter. Kids apply discipline and problem solving skills learned at home and school; adults get to network in a small community. Our fencers learn how to succeed both in winning and in failure; teen fencers can continue to collegiate varsity programs. And let's face it, we love to play with swords.

Invasive Species: What We Do
Encourage Better Business Practices
The Nature Conservancy is actively working with the nursery industry and leading landscape architecture firms to reduce the use and spread of invasive horticultural plants through voluntary codes of conduct.
The St. Louis Declaration
In 2001, experts from across the globe met in at the Missouri Botanical Garden in St. Louis to explore and develop voluntary approaches for reducing the introduction and spread of non-native invasive plants. With input and participation from The Nature Conservancy, this landmark gathering yielded the Saint Louis Declaration, which includes principles that frame the invasive plant problem as well as Voluntary Codes of Conduct that help govern decisions made by commercial, professional, recreational and government groups whose actions affect the spread of invasive plant species.
Voluntary Codes of Conduct
The Codes of Conduct create a process to identify and promote voluntary measures to prevent the introduction of invasive plants through horticulture. If successful, the Voluntary Codes of Conduct and related state-level efforts will engage hundreds of leading and influential horticulture businesses, institutions and professionals in taking a proactive stand in protecting the nation's biodiversity.
This process of connecting horticulture professionals with land managers, ecologists, and scientists strengthens the resulting outcome. Plants that have been identified as invasive can be swiftly removed from the shelf and replaced with alternative plant choices that are non-invasive. The industry working in conjunction with other professionals can really make a difference.
Among the many groups who have endorsed the Voluntary Codes of Conduct, The Nature Conservancy is proud to partner with:
- The American Nursery and Landscape Association

British electronic rock group Infadels are comprised of Bnann (vocals), Matt Gooderson (guitars and programming), Wag Marshall-Page (bass), Richie Vermin (keyboards), and Alex Bruford (drums). Formed in Hackney, East London, the band exploded onto the live rock scene after forming in 2003. Founded by Bruford (son of drumming legend Bill Bruford), Gooderson, and Bnann, the trio was later joined by Vermin and Marshall-Page, using Vermin's Dead at Thirty Records to release their first couple of singles, "Leave Your Body" and "Can't Get Enough/Murder That Sound." The songs combined with the band's rapidly growing underground credibility won it Best Live Act and Best Dance Band honors at 2004's Diesel-U-Music Awards. These accolades tipped the scales in their favor, garnering Infadels a contract with Wall of Sound Records. The band headed into the studio in January of 2005 aided by producer Jagz Kooner to begin work on its debut record, We Are Not the Infadels. The record was released a year later in Jan of 2006. Infadels spent the duration of that year on the road, playing better than 150 shows throughout Europe and Australia. In addition to headlining, they shared the stage with established groups like the Chemical Brothers, the Prodigy, and Faithless. For their innovative sound and tireless performance schedule, Infadels quickly became something of a favorite in the emerging European rock-dance crossover scene. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez

Natalie Wood drowned aged 43 while boating off of Catalina Island, near Los Angeles on November 29, 1981 Classic Film Scans
- Natalie Wood was yachting with her husband and a friend, when she disappeared.
- Comments by Lana Wood and the captain of the yacht "Splendor" have caused LA police to reopen the case.
- Wood's sister Lana is interested in "the truth coming out," but no new implications have yet been made.
US police reportedly are to re-open an investigation into the death of screen legend Natalie Wood, the "West Side Story" star who died in mysterious circumstances while yachting in 1981.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) on Thursday said new information had come to light over the death, which was deemed an accident at the time but which has long fueled speculation.
Wood drowned aged 43 while boating off of Catalina Island, near Los Angeles on November 29, 1981. Her death was investigated by the LASD and the LA County Coroner's Office, who ruled it was an accident.
PHOTOS: Elizabeth Taylor as You've Never Seen Her Before: Big Pics
"Recently, Sheriff's Homicide Investigators were contacted by persons who stated they had additional information about the Natalie Wood Wagner drowning," said an LASD statement.
In response, the Sheriff's Homicide Bureau "has decided to take another look at the case," it added.
Wood -- born Natalia Nikolaevna Zakharenko to Russian emigre parents in San Francisco -- enjoyed a glittering Hollywood career, and is best known for classic movies including "West Side Story," and, "Rebel Without a Cause."
Wood and husband Robert Wagner -- whom she had married for a second time in 1972 -- were spending the Thanksgiving weekend on their yacht the "Splendour," with actor friend Christopher Walken as their guest.
They had eaten at a dockside restaurant before returning to the boat to drink, when a heated row erupted between Wagner and Walken.
Wood left to go to the master cabin, and eventually the two men calmed down -- but when Wagner returned to the cabin she was not there. She was believed to have come up on deck to tie a loose dinghy.
She was later found drowned about a mile away from the yacht. Police reports said she was wearing a long nightgown, socks and a down jacket, and had multiple bruises on her body and arms, and an abrasion on her left cheek.
INVESTIGATION DISCOVERY: Learn all about the investigation into Nathalie Wood's death
"I have gone over it so many millions of times with people. Nobody heard anything," said Wagner, quoted by the LA Times.
Last year the actress' sister Lana Wood and the captain of the yacht, Dennis Davern, asked the sheriff's office to re-open the case, although it was not clear if Thursday's announcement was in response to that.
Lana Wood told CNN last year that she believes a fierce argument between her sister and husband on the yacht's back deck preceded Wood's drowning, but said she does not suspect foul play.
"I just want the truth to come out, the real story," she said, according to the broadcaster.
LA County Sheriff Lee Baca told the newspaper that that homicide detectives want to talk to the captain based on comments he had made recounting the case on its 30th anniversary.

"He made comments worthy of exploring," Baca said, without giving any further details.
A publicist for Wagner -- famous for a number of television series including "Hart to Hart" -- said his family supported the police investigation, while sounding a note of caution.

"Although no one in the Wagner family has heard from the LA County Sheriff's department about this matter, they fully support the efforts of the LA County Sheriff's Department," the publicist told AFP.
The Wagner family "trust they will evaluate whether any new information relating to the death of Natalie Wood Wagner is valid, and that it comes from a credible source or sources other than those simply trying to profit from the 30 year anniversary of her tragic death," it added.
A press briefing is scheduled for Friday morning to give more details on the case.
