Active Standard ASTM E2005 Developed by Subcommittee: E10.05 |Book of Standards Volume: 12.02
This guide describes approaches for using neutron fields with well known characteristics to perform calibrations of neutron sensors, to intercompare different methods of dosimetry, and to corroborate procedures used to derive neutron field information from measurements of neutron sensor response.
This guide discusses only selected standard and reference neutron fields which are appropriate for benchmark testing of light-water reactor dosimetry. The Standard Fields considered are neutron source environments that closely approximate the unscattered neutron spectra from 252Cf spontaneous fission and 235U thermal neutron induced fission. These standard fields were chosen for their spectral similarity to the high energy region (E > 2 MeV) of reactor spectra. The various categories of benchmark fields are defined in Terminology E170.
There are other well known neutron fields that have been designed to mockup special environments, such as pressure vessel mockups in which it is possible to make dosimetry measurements inside of the steel volume of the "vessel." When such mockups are suitably characterized they are also referred to as benchmark fields. A variety of these engineering benchmark fields have been developed, or pressed into service, to improve the accuracy of neutron dosimetry measurement techniques. These special benchmark experiments are discussed in Guide E2006, and in Refs (1) and (2).
1. Scope
1.1 This guide covers facilities and procedures for benchmarking neutron measurements and calculations. Particular sections of the guide discuss: the use of well-characterized benchmark neutron fields to calibrate integral neutron sensors; the use of certified-neutron-fluence standards to calibrate radiometric counting equipment or to determine interlaboratory measurement consistency; development of special benchmark fields to test neutron transport calculations; use of well-known fission spectra to benchmark spectrum-averaged cross sections; and the use of benchmarked data and calculations to determine the uncertainties in derived neutron dosimetry results.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.

Bills Fire Gailey And Bills Fans Rejoice About It
Happy New Year Bills fans, the move has finally happened. Much to the delight of nearly ever Bills fan out there, Buffalo has fired Chan Gailey as the team's head coach.

Bills fire Gailey after three seasons
The failure to break the NFL's longest playoff drought cost Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey his job.
As first reported by the Buffalo News, Gailey was fired Monday following the completion of a 6-10 season. The Bills confirmed the report through their team Twitter account.
General manager Buddy Nix, who hired Gailey to replace Dick Jauron in January 2010, could be the...

Report: Bills will likely fire Chan Gailey next week
According to Don Banks of SI.com, Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey will be fired next week after a very disappointing season.
The Bills are expected to end the three-year Chan Gailey coaching era following this season's major disappointment, but the mystery in Buffalo is whether general manager Buddy Nix is also on his way out. Team CEO Russ Brandon is thought to be in favor...
Bills vs. Dolphins: The future of Chan Gailey
"The Buck stops with me. I understand that."
Huddled over a podium in the warmth of the Rogers Centre press area, Chan Gailey may have proven to be more profit-like in the moments following the Buffalo Bills 50-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks than he ever would have liked to. In front of a luke warm crowd of just over 40,000 at the Rogers Centre the Bills came out flat...
Time for a 'Chan-ging' of the guard in Buffalo
No more excuses. No more hoping and waiting for things to get better. No more false promises and generic answers. The time is now to change the regime that now runs the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Chan Gailey is now 15-31 after a blowout at the hand of the Seattle Seahawks in Toronto. With two games remaining on the schedule against a resurgent Miami Dolphins squad and a New York...
Chan Gailey gives up too soon: Eliminates Bills from playoff race prematurely
It's one thing to throw on the towel; for Chan Gailey, he might want to wait until the bell rings. After losing to go 5-8, Gailey said on Monday morning: "The playoffs are out of the picture for us now," Gailey said in his post-game press conference. If the Bills win their last 3 games and get help from around the AFC, they still have a shot at the sixth seed with an 8-8 record.
Stevie Johnson says Chan Gailey needs to stop calling the plays
After today's loss to the Colts, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stevie Johnson told the media that he believes head coach Chan Gailey should stop calling plays and allow quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to take over.
"How I see it, I think we need to let our quarterback call these plays," Johnson said, per The Buffalo News. "He's out there on the field. He sees the adjustments...
Bills vs. Patriots: Chan Gailey's play calling not to blame
If on Saturday night I told you that the Buffalo Bills would amass 481 yards of total offense, score 31 points, gain 35 first downs, and control the time of possession 33:50 to 26:10, you would sign up for that, right? Well you would be signing up for another loss to the New England Patriots. Make no mistake about it, the Bills have found every way possible to lose to the Patriots...
NFL Rumors: Is Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey on the hot seat?
The Buffalo Bills were a trendy pick to reach the playoffs heading into the 2012 regular season. After five weeks into the season, you have to wonder if Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey will last after the regular season ends. Early on in this season, the Bills have to be considered one of the biggest disappointments in the league.
Buffalo Bills fans have long lamented that the...
Buffalo's Gailey has Bills offense up and running
Chan Gailey refuses to be pigeon-holed as a pass-first coach just because he's introduced several fancy four-receiver spread formations to the Buffalo Bills repertoire.
Gailey still has plenty of old-school throwback in him to appreciate a good ground attack. If he had his druthers, Gailey would call a run every chance he had.
''Every snap,'' Gailey said Wednesday...

The annual Bike 'n Hike event is back
A popular annual event that raises thousands of pounds for the restoration of churches in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire wants to step it up a gear and beat last year's total.
The Bike 'n Hike event is taking place this Saturday with people joining together to raise sponsorship to walk or cycle to over 600 churches and chapels across various towns and villages in the two counties.
Madeline Russell, counties organiser, said: "It continues to be extremely popular, we have a growing band of regulars who look forward to the day with great anticipation and new people are joining each year, anxious to explore our countryside as well as visit the amazing variety of church buildings open, some of which are perhaps a thousand years old.
"Last year, through sponsorship, they managed to raise a total of £102,000 in the day, it would be good if we can beat this total in 2012.
"It is still not too late to join in by cycling or walking."
The event is organised by the Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust and is now in its 21st year.
The aim is to raise money both for the Trust and for the participating churches with half of every cyclist's and walker's sponsor money going to the Trust and half goes to the church of their choice.
In the last financial year local churches and chapels in the two counties benefited by more than £260,000 through grants and fundraising by the Beds and Herts Historic Churches Trust with cash for repairs or structural improvements.
Organisers are looking for more cyclists or walkers who woudl like to take part, so for more information visit www.bedshertshct.org.uk or firstname.lastname@example.com

A raging house fire destroyed two single wide mobile homes Saturday, according to a report from the Carlsbad Fire Department.
The fire began at approximately 5:19 p.m. in a mobile home park at 3401 National Parks Highway between K and L streets.
All four Carlsbad fire stations responded to the 911 call, and it took an additional three tanker trucks and one engine from the county to put out the fire, Fire Chief Rick Lopez said.
The fire initially started in one mobile home, which burnt to the ground, and spread to the one next door, destroying both of the trailers and cars parked nearby. The second mobile home is still standing, but "totaled," according to Lopez. No one was injured.
"With the wind, it could have gotten a million times worse, but they (firefighters) were able to stop it," Lopez said.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, but Lopez said there are no reports or suspicions of foul play and he believes the cause was accidental. There will not be an investigation.

"The atmosphere and food is fantastic."
"The desserts were wonderful"
"We both got the Chef's tasting menu with wine pairing and cocktails and would have gone back otherwise, but it left a bad taste with the poor inital impression."
"hate seafood and only made reservations here for my wife, but I was very pleased with the entire experience."
"Went recently for the chef tasting menu with wines, the wines chosen were quite good (even a Hirtbzerger Guner Veltiner, a nice red burgundy and a good 2000 German, among other things)."
"This is NOT the best fish restaurant in America let alone NYC."
"The pastry chef should go back to the basics, keeping the food clean the flavors distinct and remembering that deserts should be harmonious and cause people to sigh."
"The room was beautiful, the food was perfect, the service was exemplary."
"ordering piecemeal is for tourists and one-offs, so it's bad value."
"The only complaint I had was that the service was pretty slow."
For all its asian inflections and supremely elegant simplicity, the food at Le Bernardin is potent to the point of richness -- a testament to chef Eric Ripert's vision and balance. Service is impeccable and the sommelier, Aldo Sohm, the best in the country.
AMAZING!!!. can eric rupert do wrong? i think not. i was lucky enough to get to come to le bernardin for dinner recently and i was totally blown away. the hamachi was delicate and balanced, the langoustine was meaty without being overpowering, and the lamb was better than anything i've had. swoon!
Place for the wannabe upper class.
My wife and I have made it a hobby to try as many restaurants in Manhattan as we can, given the city's wide variety of choices. For her round birthday, I wanted to surprise my wife with a truly special place, and I had read and heard a lot about Le Bernardin, so I gave it a shot.
To sum it up: it was a huge disappointment for both of us. The atmosphere is exceptionally stiff, the average age in the (very well populated) dining room was about 60 (I am not exaggerating), and the whole experience felt like dining in a museum. We went for the 4-course menu: the food was very good. That said, food tends to be very good in 95% of Manhattan's upscale restaurants, so that's sort of a given and not really a great differentiator anymore. The price was pretty steep ($300 including tip, and we did not have any alcohol): but again, that's what can be expected....for a great dining experience, which this was clearly not. To be perfectly candid: Le Bernardin feels like the kind of place that upper middle-class people frequent when they think they are rich. For example, I don't think you would find a lot of celebrities in a place like the Bernardin. But you will likely find a lot of people there who think they are, or should be celebrities.
The staff was not exactly unfriendly, but again, they made you feel like they were there to teach the plebs some "etiquette" -- which to me, is an utterly ridiculous, old-fashioned, and almost touristy concept.
If you want to spend a few hundred bucks and have a great evening, go to Megu, Kittichai, Tao, Nobu or one of the upscale steakhouses in the city. Spending a lot of money on food in Manhattan is easy, but the results can be vastly different.
I can't get it out of my head even after 2 years!. I haven't been to Le Bernardin recently but I've been wanting to go back for the past 2 years. It's the kind of place that sticks with you, from the taste to the atmosphere to the staff. It's just a wonderful place. The only down fall is that I can't afford to eat here even once a year! But if you can put down a few hundred for a special occasion or person I would recommend going to Le Bernardin as much as you can...and bring me something back!
Very nice.
Went for lunch and it was delightful. Had 3 apps, 2 entrees, 3 desserts.
Nicely plated, a couple dishes didnt really wow me for a 4 star restaurant though. I guess I just expected a lot more. The desserts which I had been told by someone else in the food industry, was their best part was eh. I liked 1 out 3. It was the chocolate peanut that was great. citrus-praline sorbet was outstanding. They combined 2 flavors I'm not hot on and made it fabulous.
Chocolate hickory was too much chocolate and not enough hickory. 3rd one I cant recall.
The 6$ capp wasnt good at all for that price. It was literally 80% foam. +there were coffee grounds. I did not finish that. All in all, good for a $240 lunch.
Ill go back for dinner and try again.
bon appetit. i was disappointed to see that the 'top chef' entrees were absent from the menu but we were able to find solace in the almost raw (hamachi, geoduck), barely touched (lobster carpaccio, salted cod) and lightly cooked (monkfish) items. aside from an inadvertent gob of icing on the side of my dessert plate the service was flawless, if not notable. trust me, they are quick to rectify their gaffes and apologetic to the point of awkwardness when the slightest tic occurs. based on our experience i am surprised others on this site called them out for sluggish service, considering we were there on a busy Saturday night; maybe they changed their MO in the past few months.
Very Delicious.
I dined here this weekend with my family. We all enjoyed our food. The oysters were the freshest I've had.
Our group ordered many things, from lamb chops, to steak, to red snapper and everything was so delicious.
The desserts were wonderful
It was a bit pricey, but worth the money for such quality.
I will be back again.
Words cannot describe this place. My boyfriend took me to Le Bernardin for Valentine's Day this year and I can't even describe how wonderful our meal was. Everything we tried melted in our mouths, which is why I guess it is considered one of the best seafood restaurants in the world. I will definitely be returning to Le Bernardin in the future,
there are far better ways to spend your money.
The stars are strictly for service. Regarding food, I've never in my life had salty kumamotos, these oysters are naturally some of the sweetest ones, so please, how in the world can you screw them up? The scallop appetizer was literary one scallop sliced into 5 pieces as if on a mandolin, as was the octopus. If you break it down it's $60 for both dishes, while a whole pound of those baby octopuses costs $3.99 and something like $18.99 for a pound of scallops. In general I would splurge on great tasting food no matter the quantity, but this was nothing special, my boyfriend even mentioned that he'd trade this octopus for the one I make at home any day... And the place is full! Don't people know any better?
The only thing that was 3 stars was the service - impeccable. I wish the money we spent there would go straight to the waiters, sommeliers and maitre d.

"Space farming ain't like jumping through hyperspace boy! You got have patience, lots of water and thousands of kilometers of tubing."
A 100-word piece of Sci-fi minutia
Some stories call it the first real warship, others just Typhoon. But they all agree on one thing, the ship is one of the most elite in the galaxy.
She was our first warship. By god we weren't going to roll over and show those damned arrogant space bastards our bellies.
Arthur Eastmorland, retired Welder
Perhaps the rarest combat vessels in known space, the Crystalline Altercation Tools are the Thoron's approach to war, on the unlikely occasion that they can be roused to it.
The smallest of the Kel'Regar combat vessels, the Parasite-Fighter is an impossibly agile and quick fighter craft, though it lacks the damage output and staying power of more conventional vessels.
This tremendous colony ship is the largest ship of the Kel'Regar, grown and built in stages, birthed within the great 'dry' dock of Regar-kel-Osh. Fully organic, this ship is the ultimate expression of the Kel'Regar's power.
In a binary star system circled by four dead, scared planets, a shell of asteroids, and one of the largest intrastellar dust clouds on this side of the quadrant the Silvers are one of the strangest and most enigmatic groups not quite known. Their two giant, red, dying suns leave the system cold and foreboding. They accept no strangers, much to the chastisement of those miners lusting after the rich deposits that span the system. Those few who ignore the shrieking klaxons of the warning beacons meet sleek, silver ships, and then; Oblivion.
Of the little known about this reclusive group a few details are assured, they were founded by some insanely rich (and perhaps insane) personage in ages long past, their ships are feared and envied by nearly every spacer alive, and they are the best mercenaries money can buy, provided you can actually afford them.
The largest warship of the Terran Hegemony capable of landing on Earth and launching again into orbit.
Ships, that have character, are the best means to get to the stars.

Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Of all the blessings to be thankful for on Thanksgiving Day, none of them surpasses the riches of the eternal blessings which the Lord has bestowed on his sons and daughters in Christ Jesus.

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Series: The Genesis of Everything
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
Series: Chosen by God: Biblical Election and the Imago Dei
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
The Heavenly Declaration
The universe that inspired the psalmist three thousand years ago grows grander as each new generation of astronomers adds yet another layer of understanding.
Jefferson's Bible and the Tears of Christ
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Oscillators for Singers
Dr. Heather Whitney's double major in physics and performing and visual arts suggests that she lives—as well as understands—the connections between subjective and objective ways of engaging the creation. She is committed to communicating that experience with her students, too.
Life and Death
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
Creation? Which Creation?
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
Series: Recovering the Doctrine of Creation: A Theological View of Science
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
What's Art Got to Do With It?

Front Page Crapfest
This post first appeared on Regretsy on August 10, 2011.
If you have a shop on Etsy, then you're already familiar with their sophisticated method of promoting sellers. I like to call it, Get Your Friends to Buy Your Shit. I don't know what Etsy calls it, but it's probably something like, Locally Sourced Commerce Incentivizationizing™.
Of course, you don't get to be the 53rd biggest web site in the United States by taking your customers for granted (that's just a lucky bonus). And that's why Etsy also offers their favorite sellers two exceptional promotional opportunities:
• Etsy's Handmade Portraits: hoary, desaturated YouTube videos of women with oversized glasses riding bikes and talking about yarn
• Etys's front page: the mecca for all scrambling handcrafters who use their disability benefits to buy pony beads
With so few real opportunities for exposure, the front page has become a coveted piece of real estate. Not only does it get you much needed publicity, it's also the only time Etsy acknowledges your existence. Apart from collecting your listing fees.
Needless to say, Etsy takes the curation of this page very seriously. And by seriously, I mean "let's put that up there because it's yellow."
Here then, are a few selections recently chosen for Etsy's front page. Think of this as a teaching moment. If you've never had a piece on the front page, study this work carefully, and compare it against your own.
And then you can pour yourself a drink with your bloody, burned, stained fingers.
What a fantastic tale! I wonder if I can get it on Kindle.
By the way, I hear they're making this into a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren as the button.
Five bottles of Pepsi, delivered to your door for $75. Awesome! I think BevMo had a sale like this in 2031.
$32. For a plastic shark. Plus $15 shipping. Because it ships from Switzerland. Which means you're going to have to go to the post office and fill out customs forms. For a toy shark. Because you're an idiot.
It has come to our attention that the artwork you are currently displaying is in violation of our copyright. We demand that the finger painting on your refrigerator entitled "Momy" (sic) be removed by end of business day, or we will pursue our claim to the full extent of the law.
Sometimes, when I'm really stressed out, I like to look at my wall decal and remind myself to take a nice deep breathe.
Isn't that so French? It's from Le Road Rash collection™. It reminds me of the time I had my wisdom teeth extracted and drooled all over my sham. ça vaut le coup!
Okay, all kidding aside, I can see why this made the front page. Of everything here, this is may be the most nuanced and carefully crafted. It has an interesting textural quality – a playful and unexpected juxtaposition of soft and sharp, cool and hot, smooth and rough. I would actually wear this.
Nah, I'm fucking with you. It's a piece of shit.

I agree with a purple. Black shows every dust spec and white is too popping. I'd do a color that blends them all in or go with a deep turquoise or a deep jade.

I like the purple idea also but that is my favorite colour so I could be a bit biased!
After you're done with that, care to fly out to San Diego and do my house?

not generally a popular choice but if you are looking for contrast as you say, a soft canary yellow or a sherbert orange may do the trick. since you have cooler colors already, warmer colors would make the bookshelf 'pop'. Or you go with a similar green with navy trim/stencils if you dont want be as loud.
black and white would work as they are technically colors that are absent of colors. sounds crazy but its true. |

Creative People - Bookcase - UPDATE
I settled on a cream colour (I liked the idea of white and yellow, so mixed them!)
Then I got some stencils and did this to it ... not sure I like it or not so I only did two ... HONEST opinions ... if you think it sucks say so ... If you can recommend a stencil, please feel free!!! Shipping to Canada would be helpful if I can't find it in a store! The blue that is on one of the borders is the blue I would go with for the "new" stencil if that's what's chosen ... as well as the blue for all the borders and the feet. Thanks so much everyone, all the input is greatly appreciated!

Group of 1,200 New Yorkers force court review of Cuomo's gun control law
ALBANY — A New York court agreed Friday to review whether the state's strict new gun controls were rushed into law in violation of the state constitution.
A state Supreme Court justice granted the request for a hearing by plaintiffs who claim the law violates the guarantees of free speech, property ownership and the right to petition the government guaranteed under the state and federal constitutions.
Plaintiff Robert Schulz called Gov. Andrew Cuomo a "king" for pushing through the nation's toughest gun law by suspending the three-day review usually required before votes on bills.
"Kings govern by opinion," said Schulz, who calls himself a "constitutionalist" and has challenged governors for decades in court although he isn't a lawyer. "There has to be some rationale, some justification of facts before waiving the people's demand for three days' " review of a bill.
The law enacted Jan. 15, pushed by Cuomo, sets a seven-bullet limit on magazines, tightens the definition of illegal "assault weapons" and requires owners of formerly legal semi-automatic guns to register them, among other measures.
The New Yorkers are representing themselves, without lawyers. A March 11 date in state court is scheduled. State officials will have to argue their case to avoid an injunction against the law.
"We believe the law is, and the process was, valid and constitutional," Cuomo spokesman Rich Azzopardi said.
Cuomo and legislative leaders agreed on the bill in closed-door negotiations and put the politically dicey measure to a vote at night in mid-January. That was after Cuomo issued a "message of necessity," which allows the constitutional waiting period to be suspended.
Schulz, of Warren County, called the gun control law "repugnant" and seeks to have it declared void. The plaintiffs said they have 1,200 backers.

The Closer Review: "Home Improvement"
On The Closer this week, Brenda finally got herself a lawyer at the suggestion of Raydor, and when she heard his retainer was $25,000 her entire attitude went to the birds.
Elsewhere, the beating death with a ball peen hammer of a registered sex offender resulted in one of the most violent looking autopsies I've ever seen on the show. The case and Brenda's attitude made for a heck of a ride.
Even though the case was less than savory, I was laughing throughout the hour. Admittedly, I'm iffy on rape when both parties are still in their teens, so I wasn't as appalled at the mixture of crime and humor like I was in the recent past.
There was little chance the neighbor's daughter would have been hurt, as she had been duly prepared to scream like a banshee and blow a rape whistle should the guy have come near her. The little spitfire demonstrated both of these little tidbits with gusto. Nobody was going to get their hands on her!
They got more laughter out of me when Brenda informed Fritz she cut out their little luxuries like, oh, their phone service and those extra cable channels they never watch (hello, ESPN!) so they could afford her attorney.
I had never noticed their kitchen before, but it was full of old fashioned appliances and Brenda cooking in her lace blouse really made her look like a 1940s housewife. She looked fully prepared to jump through the centuries for a little sacrifice.
Mark Pelligrino, most - recently seen on shows like Lost, Supernatural and Being Human - offered up a role of a completely different kind as Brenda's outlandish attorney. Not only was his character eccentric, but some of the suspects came off like C movie thespians from a Cinemax production.
Watching the Missus and her artificial breasts attempt to lift a three-foot cement garden gnome off the ground was particularly effective... in making them look like idiots.
Introducing us to Brenda's new attorney, having her and Fritz squabbling like an old married couple, and the valley girl knockoffs whodunit provided a nice respite from the intensity that has intermittently plagued us as the series winds down.
Not too cold and not too hot, "Home Improvement" was just right.

I loved Mark Pelligrino's character. I've seen him in a lot of roles but, none like this. This role showed how truly versatile he is. I'd like to see him land a role as part of an ensemble cast or at least as a recurring character in a series sometime soon. Something like fellow actor, Titus Welliver (this guy must be the hardest working man on TV) with whom he was part of the cast in Lost and Supernatural.

Where can i find such a patient, selfless and loyal husband as Fritz is? i love Brenda to bits but sometimes she is insufferable, he has a patience of a saint.
on a general note, i LOVE this show! -
August 16th, 2011 9:36 AM
I wait anxiously for Monday night to watch The Closer and am never disappointed as long as Brenda is on. Don't like Captain Radar since she first came on and won't like her with Brenda gone. The chemistry won't be there without Brenda. She will be solely missed by all.

The Closer is a great show! The actors always do an excellent job of making the episodes believable & it's pretty obvious that they themselves enjoy working with one another very much. While this particular episode wasn't one of the best, it certainly showed a humorous side to the characters & I did enjoy watching it. As I understand it, current plans are that next season will be the final season for The Closer, and I'm really going to miss this show; hopefully, the powers-that-be concerning this show will re-think that decision & keep Brenda Lee Johnson in our lives for many years to come!

LAS VEGAS—Christine Petersen, president of TripAdvisor for Business, vouched Friday for the veracity of the thousands of hotel reviews on the company's site.
"The No. 1 thing we stand for is the authenticity of our reviews," she said during a general session at Best Western International's annual convention. "We know if people come to the site and don't believe the reviews, they won't come back. And if you don't come back, we don't have a business."
Petersen declined to identify all of the ingredients of the "secret sauce" TripAdvisor uses to identify honest reviews from those that are paid for, or negative comments intentionally posted by a hotel's competitor. She did, however, list several of the factors the company looks for when deciding whether to boot a review from the site.
Those factors include:
Every review kicked off the system is reviewed again by members of a TripAdvisor team, she said. Further, Petersen said the company relies heavily on users flagging reviews they believe look suspicious.
Petersen said hoteliers should be comforted by the fact that reviewers on the site also are peer-reviewed. "You can see what the community thinks of the reviewer," she said.
Petersen often is asked why TripAdvisor doesn't just go to a system where reviews can be authenticated. Such a process is not ideal for the company, Petersen said.
First, there are 50 reviews submitted to TripAdvisor every minute. That's far too much volume to authenticate each and every review, she said. Secondly, Petersen said the company wants to provide as little interference as possible during the review process.
TripAdvisor misconceptions Petersen also took time to clear up what she said are some "misconceptions" the public has about the review site, including:
You can't trust the reviews. Petersen said TripAdvisor has had 60 million unique visitors to the site year to date in 2012 and there are more than 75 million reviews on the site. The truth, she said, is bound to shine through when considering that kind of volume. "More reviews, more accurate," she said.
The only people who post are people who want to complain. The average score of a hotel on TripAdvisor is 4.01 out of 5, Petersen said. "People are happy," she said. "People around the world are eager to share positive experiences."
Also, Petersen said a recent study TripAdvisor commissioned found that 74% of people reported they want to share a good hotel experience with others.
Finally, Petersen offered some words of wisdom when it comes to the negative hotel reviews that are on the site. She said a hotel's management would be wise to respond to such a review.
"Management responses are the last word," she said. "A carefully written management (response) is the end of the story."

People Doing It
The Problem
The inspiration for this project came from years of staring out of my classroom window at a bleak manicured lawn with few trees and a desire to educate my students about the native plants that are found all around them. Therefore, I created a class to design and implement a native plant garden and a small vegetable garden upon the school grounds. This year the class consists of six girls from grades 10 through 12. I am guiding the students, but the students are in charge of the project this includes one of the first steps we took which was setting the goals for the project. Our main goal is to build and maintain a visually appealing and instructive vegetable and native plant garden. In doing this, we will educate our class, teachers, schoolmates, and other people involved in our school on gardening in our environment, as well as on native plants. In conjunction with education, we would like to involve all these people in our project in various ways. For example, the drafting classes in our school could design and manufacture benches and local community members could participate in the planting of the native plants. Another of our goals is that this project will inspire people to become active in their community and to learn more about where they live. Finally, because our class is made up of only girls, it is our goal that this project will empower other women to take leading roles in community and environmental projects. To accomplish these goals we have already surveyed staff and students about potential use of the gardens, consulted a local landscape architect, researched native plants, designed environmental education lessons to educate younger students, developed rough plants for the native plant garden, and started planting native plant seeds in our greenhouse. In the future we plan to consult more local experts in landscape design and irrigation, continue growing plants in the greenhouse, develop a more finalized native garden plan, and develop a plan for a small vegetable garden. Then, by the end of the school year, we plan to install both the native plant and vegetable gardens, so that they can both be used and enjoyed by the students, staff and community.

Here is the WWE Divas spoilers for the August 3, 2012 episode of WWE Smackdown…
Layla congratulated Booker T backstage.
(Source: ProWrestling.net)
Here is the WWE Divas match for the August 2, 2012 episode of WWE Superstars…
Natalya vs. WWE Divas Champion Layla is next. Good Divas match with lots of good offense from both women.
(Source: ProWrestling.net & Wrestlinginc)
When was the last time the WWE had a divas match on RAW or Smackdown that didn't feature AJ?
The WWE Divas Division is non existent at this point, yes, the only matches we have seen on Raw or Smackdown recently has involved AJ, for the most part. She has been doing a great job. In theory, her push shouldn't really affect the other women not being used. The wwe could have wrote a title feud involving Layla.
More interesting is, a few Divas matches taped for Superstars in the past few weeks have not been making it on the show.
This is why i never get mad at TNA for leaving out the knockouts, they have been going live for what 2 months now? And only 2 episodes i could remember they kept the knockouts off the show BUT whenever they did leave them off the show, they were quickly advertised on their website and all over their social networks that the Knockouts were going to have a match next week, making it seem like a big deal. WWE has had 1000 episodes worth of Raw and over 400 episodes worth of smackdown to work live shows and YET they always scrath off Divas matches and segments. WWE is a mess, and it doesn't look like they have any intention of fixing it either.
I can recall very few times the Knockouts Division was not featured on Impact.Even with no matches, there were segments or backstage promos. And technically, the Brooke Hogan/Dixie Carter segment was about the Division.
Up until the news of Kharma leaving, I was assuming they were waiting for her.
True, but still, if this week, we get no match, first thing Friday Morning, a Knockouts match is advertised for next week. And they continue to promote it on their social Media, WWE never promotes Diva Matches a week before unless it's a gimmick match celebrating a summer bash or something.

Dear Spring community,
We are pleased to announce that Spring LDAP version 1.1 has been released. Download|Documentation|API
About Spring LDAP
Spring LDAP is a Java library for simplifying LDAP operations, based on the pattern of Spring's JdbcTemplate. The framework relieves the user of the burden of looking up and closing contexts, looping through NamingEnumerations, encoding/decoding values and filters, and more.
The LdapTemplate class encapsulates all the plumbing work involved in traditional LDAP programming, such as creating, looping through NamingEnumerations, handling Exceptions and cleaning up resources. This leaves the programmer to handle the important stuff - where to find data (DNs and Filters) and what do do with it (map to and from domain objects, bind, modify, unbind, etc.), in the same way that JdbcTemplate relieves the programmer of all but the actual SQL and how the data maps to the domain model.
In addition to this, Spring LDAP provides Exception translation from NamingExceptions to DataAccessExceptions, as well as several utilities for working with filters, LDAP paths and Attributes.
Spring-LDAP requires J2SE 1.4. J2SE 1.4 is required for building. J2EE 1.4 (Servlet 2.3, JSP 1.2) is required for running the example.
Where to start
Download the distribution from the link above. The distribution contains extensive JavaDoc documentation as well as full reference documentation and a sample application illustrating different ways to use Spring LDAP.
The permanent home of Spring LDAP is at http://www.springframework.org/ldap.
Spring LDAP is based on the SourceForge LdapTemplate project. Users of LdapTemplate are advised to switch to Spring LDAP
Best regards
Mattias Arthursson & Ulrik Sandberg
Spring LDAP project team

The (Not So) Little Team That Could: Exhibition Victories
Colorado Springs, Colo. - March 9, 2010
<< Previous
Sixteen finalists were named on July 11, and by the USA's July 18 clash against France in Monte Carlo the roster was down to 15. When the U.S. downed France 93-63, critics thought maybe it was a fluke. Then the red, white and blue dispatched Spain 95-78 the following day and people began to take notice. Sports Illustrated even sent out Ian Thompson to cover the team's final exhibition game for a feature that dubbed the squad the âDirty Dozen,' along with a headline that read: The retreads and rejects representing the U.S. in Athens may not be a Dream Team, but they do have a Dream.
-Coach Tomjanovich did a great job in the whole process and (made) the chaos surrounding the whole event much more bearable," said Alexis. -Again, it was a little disheartening to be brushed aside and be called the âNightmare Team' and âNo Name Team.' But the guys that we had certainly didn't feel that way. It was a good mix of young players and veteran players that came together. We kind of adapted the USA against the world, literally, attitude."
The final 12-member team was announced on July 23, two days prior to its final exhibition game. The squad moved to Rome for a match against a strong Italian team, and the USA came out on top in a tough battle, 80-75, to keep its exhibition stretch perfect.
-This is the real Dream Team," David Wood, a 10-year veteran of the NBA, CBA and European leagues, stated at the time. -Because nobody here had a dream they could make the team."
Unfortunately, Michigan State's heralded guard Mateen Cleaves injured his ankle during the game against Italy and was unable to compete in Athens. Duke University's Trajan Langdon, who had been one of the final players cut and has since gone on to a very successful career in Russia, got called back to Europe by USA Basketball.
Langdon, who arrived back in Durham late afternoon and was home for just a few short hours before he got the call from USA Basketball's Jim Tooley.
-I remember getting a call late during that night saying that Mateen turned his ankle and if I would be interested in returning to the team," Langdon wrote in an email from Moscow, where he currently is in the hunt for another EuroLeague title. -They said that there was a flight the next morning for Athens. I didn't think twice about it. I didn't have time to unpack anyway so I got back on the plane and was excited about the prospect of rejoining the team."
With Langdon inserted back into the lineup, the squad went about final preparations for the World Championship.

Part of a second phase, the bridge is off Humboldt Road, south of Fir Street and just east of the Highway 99 overpass. The bridge links the Teichert Ponds area near Kohl's to Humboldt Road.
A crane and construction workers from Franklin Construction and its subcontractors put the bridge in place very early on Thursday morning.
According to city inspector Mike Herren, the city hopes to open the bridge by Labor Day. Still to be done are paving and tile work on the path, and applying concrete to the deck.
Humboldt Road was closed for a short time near the California Highway Patrol office for the project.
Installing the prefabricated bridge removes one of the biggest hurdles to a more convenient route.
In the works since 2009, the route is a mixture of dedicated paths, bike lanes and bike routes, stretching from Eaton Road to the Skyway.
Not only does the bike path provide an avenue for recreation, it links north and south Chico for commuting purposes as well.
Federal stimulus funds of $2.425 million, along with another federal grant, is paying for the project.

In the year 1808 E.T.A. Hoffmann, the composer, painter and poet came to Bamberg and took over the role of musical director at the theatre.
The Bamberg years, which lasted until 1813, may not have been the happiest, but they did lay the foundations for his career. During his time here, the town strongly influenced this multi-talented romantic author. He too, however, also made his mark on the town which can still be felt to the present day. An important place to visit in this context is the E.T.A. Hoffmann House. His former home is now a museum with a poetry room beneath the roof. During the anniversary year, these long-standing features have been complemented with a Hoffmann trail which leads to important stations of his Bamberg years.
