Alice Springs is a big friendly country town with a lot to offer travelers with excellent museums, a fantastic wildlife park and outstanding galleries of Indigenous art. The landscape is stunning and you will find that the ruggedly beautiful MacDonnell Ranges are a magnificent backdrop for our desert sunsets.
There's a few quirky things about Alice Springs will only happen in the outback.
The most unusual is the famous Todd River that runs dry almost all year around.
Does that bother the locals? No way! They run a charity boat race called the 'Henley on Todd' instead!
You don't have to venture far to find yourself amongst rich orange-red gorges, the contrasting pastel hues of the MacDonnell Ranges and the ghostly white gum trees. Be warned, the landscape absolutely will take your breath away!
If you're interested in Aboriginal culture or traditional art, some of the most spectacular outback scenery, world famous hiking trails and National Parks, then you must include Alice Springs in your Australian adventure plans.
I've put together a few suggestions to help you plan your Alice Springs itinerary.
Some of our best Natural Attractions
- Anzac Hill – The Alice Springs township is reasonably flat so the most popular vantage point is Anzac Hill with great views over Mt Gillen and the MacDonnell Ranges. Anzac Hill is a great place to watch the sun go down against the MacDonnell Ranges and experience the amazing desert sunsets.
- Alice Springs Desert Park – an extraordinary glimpse of the unique desert flora and fauna. Be sure not to miss the 'Flights of Fancy' bird displays. Alice Springs Desert Park is information packed with displays for nocturnal creatures, reptiles and other bush wildlife in their natural habitats.
- Alice Springs Kangaroo Sanctuary – Guided sunset tours will take you on a leisurely walk through the Alice Springs Kangaroo Sanctuary's wildlife reserve where you discover kangaroos, wallabies and other wildlife unique to Alice Springs.
- East MacDonnell Ranges – An easy Day Trip, so pack a picnic and head east towards Emily Gap, Jessie Gap, Corroboree Rock, Trephina Gorge and Ross River Resort. It's well worth the drive and if you have a 4WD there are additional options like John Hayes Rockhole if you have the time.
- West MacDonnell Ranges – an easy drive out through spectacular gaps, gorges, waterholes and extraordinary scenery. A Day Trip opportunity if you start early, visit Simpsons Gap, Standley Chasm, Ellery Big Hole, the Ochre Pits, Ormiston Gorge, Finke River, Glen Helen Resort – or take the other road to Hermannsburg. If time is short – opt to just visit Simpsons Gap.
- Simpsons Gap – The first 'gap' in the West MacDonnell Ranges. Only a few miles out of Alice Springs Simpsons Gap is one of the most scenic waterholes so close to town. An important spiritual site to the Arrernte people where the rugged mountains are rich in the desert colours and black-footed Rock-wallabies blend into high mountain cliffs. Simpson's Gap is a magnificent sight at dusk or dawn when the sunlight hits the mountain cliff face.
A touch of History
- Olive Pink Gardens – Located on the banks of the Todd River, 10 minutes walk from the central business district of Alice Springs. The Olive Pink Botanical Gardens are a credit to Miss Olive Pink who lived there in the 1950's. Showcasing a collection of native shrubs and trees, these gardens have become a spectacular tribute to Olive Pink. Stop in for coffee at one of the best cafe's in Alice Springs.
- Telegraph Station – The Telegraph Station is known as the birthplace of the Alice Springs township. Marking the site of the first European settlement in Alice Springs. Established in 1871, the Telegraph Station relayed messages between Darwin and Adelaide and later, to link up with an underwater cable network to London providing the first lines of communication between Australia and England. Now the Telegraph Station is a popular recreational park to BBQ and spend time with family.
- Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame – Situated at the 'Old Goal' in Alice Springs, the National Pioneer Women's Hall of Fame is one of two women's museums in Australia. 'Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives' this museum has managed to capture the stories of our pioneer women.
- The Araluen Cultural Precinct – home to a several art galleries, museums and a performance theatre. An extensive gallery where you are able to view rare original art by Albert Namatjira and many other artists. The Strehlow Research Centre for Aboriginal Culture has an extensive display of cultural artifacts and archaeological finds, the Museum of Central Australia and the Connellan Aviation Museum is also located in the Precinct. Local crafts are available for sale too.
- Royal Flying Doctor Service – Alice Springs is an integral part of the Royal Flying Doctor Service providing critical medical services to people who live in the Outback. RFDS originally started in Alice Springs. There's an interesting museum, holographic theatre, and a 'life to air' screen identifying the locations of RFDS planes. The tour is highly recommended and be sure to stop in at the cafe for lunch or a snack afterwards.
- The School of the Air – Also originated in Alice Springs. This is the world's biggest classroom and it's open to the public. When you visit the School of the Air you'll be able to see how children on remote cattle stations attend school. It's a fascinating concept which allows children to connect with others in a learning environment.
Turn a Holiday into an Adventure
- Cycling – Alice Springs has a number of cycling and mountain bike trails that are fantastic opportunities for an Outback Cycling adventure. Guided tours are also available.
- Larapinta Trail – a popular walking and cycling trail, the Larapinta Trail is 223 kilometres long, however there are 12 individual sections of varying grades, terrain & experiences passing through some of the most magnificent country you will ever see.
- Mt Gillen Climb – The walk from Flynn's Grave to Mt Gillen takes about 2 hours return and gives you spectacular views over Alice Springs. A variety of birds and black-footed Rock Wallabies can often be seen on this walk. This climb is challenging and most suited to the physically fit.
- Camel Tours – Take an authentic desert adventure right in the centre of Australia to learn about camels and their part in Central Australia's early history. Take a camel tour around Alice Springs, along red sand tracks and desert trails to see kangaroos and wallabies in the wild.
- Hot Air Ballooning – If you want to do something surreal whilst you are in Alice Springs, Hot Air Ballooning is an experience to take away with you! This tour requires an early morning start!
- Earth Sanctuary – provides a unique astronomy experience. Explore the the night sky with experienced Outback Star-Guides. Central Australia is fortunate to experience some of the best night skies in the world. Earth Sanctuary is a 'must do' experience!
Time your visit around some of these Fun Events
- Finke Desert Race – the Finke Desert Race is an off road, multi terrain two-day race for bikes, cars, buggies and quads through desert country. Held each year on the Queen's Birthday long weekend in June, "Finke" is one of the biggest sporting events in the Northern Territory. It enjoys the reputation of being one of the most difficult off-road courses in the world.
- Henley on Todd – A unique boat race, the Henley on Todd is held on the dry sands of the Todd River! Dress up for a day of frivolity and fun and enjoy the hilarity as you watch teams race in bottomless boats through the coarse river sand! Held annually in August.
- Beanie Festival – The festival has grown into a fun event where Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal artists share their culture and exhibit together. The Beanie Festival's aims have always been to develop Aboriginal women's textiles, promote women's culture and handmade textile arts. Usually the Beanie Festival is held in late June each year.
- Camel Cup – The first Camel Race was run in 1970 in the dry Todd River Bed as a bet between two mates, and was declared so much fun that the event has become an annual event. The Camel Cup is held mid July each year and is a fun day for all.
- Alice Springs Cup Carnival – The Alice Springs Turf Club is a popular course located at the foothills of the beautiful MacDonnell Ranges. Cup Carnival is held during throughout the month of April each year concluding on the Mayday weekend.
Uluru, Kata Tjuta & Kings Canyon
Alice Springs is the gateway to some of Central Australia's most stirring landscapes: Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park is a just four-hour drive from Alice Springs. These infamous landmarks are world heritage listed and some of the most impressive experiences to take away with you.
A further opportunity to experience Kings Canyon in the heart of Watarrka National Park, where the unspoiled bush and the ancient red rock canyons create an unforgettable outback adventure.
How much time you will need in Alice Springs
This depends on how heavily you want to immerse yourself into Alice Springs and it's surrounds, and when you plan on visiting. My recommendation is that if you allow 7 – 10 days you will have plenty of time to visit almost all of our suggestions above. Add an additional 4-5 days to visit Uluru, Kata Tjuta and Kings Canyon whilst you're there.
When is the Best Time to Visit Central Australia
The winter months are usually the best times to visit Central Australia – May to September. Remember, winters in the desert are often quite cold so be sure to pack accordingly. Average winter temperatures vary and can sink as low as -6 degrees celsius (approx 21F) whilst the days can be quite warm at 25 degrees celsius (77F).
There is a wide range of accommodation available in and around Alice Springs with a range of dining options available.
Alice Springs is an extraordinary place to visit and certainly one of the most enjoyable places I've ever lived. I visit as often as I can and am still drawn by the intense colours of the desert. I recommend you put Alice Springs on your 'must visit' list!
Alice Springs really is an experience not to be missed – check out my "21 great reasons to visit Alice Springs". It's the perfect place to experience the heart and soul of the Outback.

online metronome which is perfect for practicing with other musicians. David Thomas, principal clarinetist of the Columbus Symphony and I are preparing to perform the Strauss Duet Concertino for Clarinet and Bassoon with String Orchestra and Harp. We've been using this online metronome to ensure that we can both hear it clearly. (We grew weary of passing the little metronome back and forth, taking turns being the one who could hear it.) Even through modest computer speakers, this metronome can be very loud and impossible to ignore. When practicing by myself I sometimes prefer to use the online metronome just because it is so imposing. I'll definitely use it during chamber music rehearsals from now on - it will be great for keeping quartets and even quintets in line!

'Following an interval of seven years, brewing returns to the Rat and Ratchet pub in Huddersfield this September. The brand new plant will have a brew length of six brewers barrels (24 firkins), and with three fermenters the plant is capable of producing 72 firkins per week.
A range of seven core beers are to be produced, supplemented by special and one-off brews as demand dictates. The core beer range includes something for everyone:
Dirty Rat (Mild) 3.5% abv
Brown Rat (Brown Ale) 3.8% abv
Golden Rat (Golden Ale) 3.8% abv
White Rat (Extra Pale, Hoppy Ale) 4.0% abv
Rattus Rattus (Wheat Beer) 4.3% abv
Black Rat (Porter) 4.5% abv
King Rat (IPA) 5.0% abv
The Rat and Ratchet itself will be the primary outlet for the beers, with any excess being sold as guests through the rest of the Ossett pub estate as well as local free trade.
The pub was originally established as a brew-pub in 1994, however brewing had already ceased when Ossett Brewery bought the pub in 2004. In early 2011, with Ossett Brewery nearing full capacity, the Rat and Ratchet with its large and under-used cellars was identified as an ideal location for Ossett's fourth brewing site.
The Rat joins Ossett Brewery (200 brewers barrels per week), Fernandes Brewery (12½ barrels per week) and the Riverhead Brewery (10 barrels) as the newest brewing site, with an initial capacity of 18 barrels per week. Future expansion to produce 120 firkins per week is possible should the need arise.
Under the supervision of Ossett Head Brewer, Paul Spencer, the Rat Brewery is run by a team of three working in rotation. Lisa Handforth, a Brewster who has worked at the Riverhead Brewery for two years prior to joining the Rat team; Graham Stead, who has been at Ossett Brewery since 2007 as part of the brewing team; and also Rob Allen who became Landlord of the Rat and Ratchet in 2010 and was one of the main drivers behind returning brewing to the pub.'

does aromatherapy fit in with other healing therapies?
Aromatherapy complements many treatments including; massage, herbal wraps, acupuncture, meditation, chiropractics, skin care and, in some cases, allopathic drugs. Essential oils can actually increase the effect of certain medications. Valerian (a well-known sedative), rose oil, and phenylethyl alcohol (commonly found in perfumes) all increased the sleeping time in mice given the barbiturate Pheno- barbital as opposed to mice who were not given these substances. Because the scents from essential oils are processed by the olfactory system, they can greatly help any medication which is alleviating stress. The effects of another treatment can be enhanced when combined with essential oil use due to the olfactory element linking the original treatment with stress reduction.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.
Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.
Newly promoted Swansea's quest for premiership safety begin in the cauldron of Eastlands as they take on a Manchester City side which are amongst the favourites for the title (8pm kick off).
The Swan's are the first Welsh side to play in the Premier League and will enter their first top flight campaign since 1983 as overwhelming favourites for the drop.
Despite having no household names Brendan Roger's side play a brand of football that is very pleasing on the eye and similar to Blackpool very attack minded, all of which should mean plenty of goals and surprises, with tonight's televised encounter with City a perfect chance to show the rest of the Premier League their intentions.
City meanwhile begin their campaign with expectations at an all time high. Last season's FA cup win has not to mention the summer capture of Sergio Aguero has many believing that Manchester City could land a first title since 1968.
The build up to the new season has not being helped by the uncertainty over Carlos Tevez and the Argentine, who only returned to training this week following an extended break will not feature in tonights game.
That means that the former Inter Milan coach will pair Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli up front for with record signing Sergio Aguero set to start on the bench, although the indications are that the former Athletic Madrid star will enter the fray at some point.
Meanwhile Swansea could be without Captain Gary Monk who is struggling with a foot injury and could miss out.
However Brendan Rogers, who revealed he was wanted as assistant manager at Manchester City after leaving Reading, could hand debuts to summer signings Danny Graham, Leroy Lita, Wayne Routledge and Steven Caulker.
Man City (from): Hart, Pantilimon, Taylor, Richards, Zabaleta, Savic, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Kolarov, Boyata, Johnson, Barry, De Jong, Milner, Silva, Toure, Weiss, Wright-Phillips, Balotelli, Dzeko, Aguero.
Swansea (from): Vorm, Williams, Taylor, Caulker, Tate, Bodde, Britton, Orlandi, Beattie, Graham, Sinclair, Dyer, Cornell, Dobbie, Routledge, Monk, Cotterill, Lita, Moore, MacDonald, Moreira, Rangel, Harley, Agustien, Butler.
Last six League & Cup games:
Manchester City: WWWWLW
Swansea: WWDWWW
Key players:
Scott Sinclair: Rose to national prominence with his performance in the play off final win over Reading and the former Chelsea starlet will be keen to make an impression in the Premier League.
Mario Balotelli: With Tevez sitting this one out and Sergio Aguero likely to start on the bench, Mancini will be looking to his enigmatic Italian striker to scores the goals that ensure there are no opening day upsets.
Sportsnewsireland.com will have live score updates on all GAA Championship matches over the summer.

Mets manager Jerry Manuel gets a hard time all over the blogosphere, not just in this specifically anti-Mets corner. Jerry does bizarre things, Jerry makes bizzare decisions. The return of superstar Carlos Beltran to the Mets mix means things are now more than messy, as it means Manuel has many mistakes to make.
Somehow, improbably, Manuel sent out a decent lineup last night to start the Mets second half. He hit statnerd poster boy Angel Pagan leadoff, slotted David Wright in third and cleaned up with the returning Beltran. Lefty Ike Davis and right-handed Jason Bay round out the meat of the Mets order.
Unfortunately for Mets fans everywhere, the Mets ran into two-time Cy Young winner Tim Lincecum, fresh off a whole wack of rest. Timmy threw a whole pile of strikes, missed more than his share of bats, only walked one and basically shut the Mets down en route to a six-hit shutout.
Expect nothing good to come of this. Angel Pagan came to the plate in a key spot in the fifth inning only to pop out and snuff out a mini-rally. Carlos Beltran was caught stealing, which nearly never happens. Beltran quickly and clearly shed light into his flawed thought process after singling in his first game back:
"I guess when you drink too many coffees and too much sugar before the game, it makes you do crazy things,"
While Jerry avoided saying anything crazy in the papers, you know the old gears are turning and he's ready to pop in lineup sparkplug/crappy baseball player Jeff Francoeur at a moment's notice. Already pledging to rotate Pagan, Beltran, and Frenchie through right and center fields, it won't take much for Manuel to go completely nuts and play Jeffy for six straight nights, admiring his gumption after striking out on three pitches once again.
The return of permapuff Jose Reyes should give Mets fans a reprieve from the Alex Cora - Number Two Hitter Experience, though Jerry's known to throw slap hitters among the trees without any rhyme or reason. My fondness for Beltran aside, the Walkoff Walk Stylebook decrees we must find joy in Mets failings. So here's to the continued struggles of Jose's brittle bones. Get in there and play us some jazz, Jerry!

Matte Black is making a comeback on our blog and it's slowly becoming one of the most interesting exterior colors on a BMW. For us it all started last year when we published the first photos of a BMW X6 sporting the matte black color and back then, we were quite charmed by it.
Moving into 2009, we started seeing more and more BMWs sporting the matte black coat, from 335is and M3s, to more X6 models. As we learned back then, matte black vinyl wrap was created by some shops in California and as we learned, it was an 8-10 year vinyl that is washed by using a mixture of water and baby shampoo.
The total cost of "upgrading" your car to matte black is around $3,000, pricey for some, but worth it for others.
Responsible for the gorgeous BMW M3 Coupe featured below, are the fellows at RDSport, a California based tuner.

WEKA can easily be used to perform some simple Machine Learning in JAVA. While developing a small project for classifying some data derived from a wearable for activity recognition, I missed a short summary what is needed to classify with WEKA in a JAVA project. So this post serves as a memo to myself (or anyone who finds it usefull).
A standard WEKA installation contains all the needed java files. Normally in your WEKA installation folder there resides a weka-src.jar file. Extract it with an archive manager which is able to handle the ZIP format. Create a lib directory (if not present) and run ANT.
Now it's pretty straight forward to create some code that builds a model from some data (in this case stored in a CSV file) .
I've setup a short GIST containing everything needed to build the model, Evaluate a model and classify some live captured data (aka classify a single datum).
This is just a starting point to get setup. It is possible to implement much more sophisticated ML Pipelines with WEKA 😉 The Documentation under http://weka.sourceforge.net/doc.stable-3-8/ might help you.
If you want to use that on Android you can do that. The Problem is that WEKA makes use of the JAVA Swing libs to realise the GUI. This can be solved by just stripping these parts out, or just use the this repo where someone did it for us: https://github.com/rjmarsan/Weka-for-Android.

The steep incline of adolescence, scaled.
Here, from this mind-made peak, the years begin
as sediment, to shift, and merge, and settle.
But barren path of past, still fertile yet,
Will come to welcome flower-framed revisions,–
Arbouring truth beneath beguiling nettles.
Familiar fingers and faithful feet alone
May now unearth from flora honest stone.

Washington-St. Louis Skims By Wheaton, 55-52
March 13, 2009
Courtesy of Washington University in St. Louis
Wheaton, Ill., March 13, 2009 - The No. 2 ranked Washington University in St. Louis men's basketball team advanced to the 2009 NCAA Sectional Championship game with a 55-52 win at No. 3 Wheaton College on Friday night in front of a sold out crowd of 2,618 fans at King Arena in Wheaton, Ill.
Washington University advances to the Sectional Championship to take on No. 1 University of St. Thomas on Saturday at 7 p.m. for a berth in the Final Four held March 20-21, at the Salem Civic Center in Salem, Va. The Tommies posted an 86-69 victory over No. 7 University of Puget Sound on Friday.
"This was a great Division III basketball game tonight," said Washington University head coach Mark Edwards. "Both teams played great defense tonight and showed will power. When you get to championship play, sometimes that is what you have to have to win."
Despite losing senior Tyler Nading to his second foul one minute into the contest, Washington U. gained an early advantage on Wheaton with its outside shooting. Junior Aaron Thompson, Elida, Ohio (Elida) drained a three-pointer from the wing and then sophomore Caleb Knepper replaced Nading and quickly hit a three from the wing to make it 10-4.
After a miss by Wheaton, Thompson drained his second triple of the half to cap a 9-2 run to push Washington U.'s lead to 13-6 with 14:58 remaining in the first half. Another three by Sean Wallis gave WU an 18-10 lead, as the Bears hit four of its first five shots from beyond the arc.
Washington U. went through a stretch of five minutes where the Bears missed four shots and committed a turnover to let Wheaton back in the game. Jake Carwell's lay-up at the 6:03 mark capped an 8-0 run to knot the score at 18-18. Tied at 26-26, Wallis nailed his second three-pointer of the game and then freshman Alex Toth's jumper at the 2:04 made it 31-26, which was the score at halftime.
Wallis (12 points) and Thompson (10 points) combined to score 22 of Washington U.'s 31 points, as the Bears shot 50 percent (13-26) from the field. Wheaton All-American candidate Kent Raymond had 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting in the first half. The Bears also hit 5-of-12 from three-point range while the Thunder was 2-of-10.
Wallis stole Wheaton's opening possession and went in for a lay-up, and then scored another in the paint at the 18:28 mark to give the Bears a 37-28 lead early in the second half. Ben Panner got the Thunder back into the game quickly as he scored eight-straight points in a span of two minutes to trim the advantage to 44-42.
A put-back by Wheaton's Andy Wiele at the 3:09 mark gave Wheaton its first lead since 18:08 left in the first half. Two free-throws by Wallis gave the Bears a 53-52 advantage, and then a lay-up by Nading made it 55-52. Raymond's three-pointer with three seconds left was off the mark as WU advanced to the Elite Eight for the third-straight year and sixth time in school history.
Wallis led the Bears with 18 points, six assists and four steals, while Thompson chipped in with 14 points and five rebounds. The Bears shot 50 percent (23-46) from the field, including 6-of-17 from three point range. Nading added seven points as he moved past Gene Nolan (1992-96) and Chris Alexander (1997-01) into fourth on the all-time scoring list with 1,495 points.
"I got into a rhythm tonight early and hit a couple shots and that opened up things up for me to get to the basketball the rest of the game," said Wallis. "My shot has been feeling good the past few games and I am going to ride this streak as long as I can."
Wheaton, which ended its season with a 26-4 mark, shot 42 percent (21-50) from the field and had 15 turnovers. Raymond (22 points) and Panner (20 points) combined to score 42 of 52 points for Wheaton, including the first 24 in the second half.
"Most of our focus this week was on post defense and to front their post players," said junior Cameron Smith, who along with Thompson held Raymond two points below his season average of 24.0 points per game. "Because our guys fronted the post so well, Raymond had to take tough shots all night long."
The victory for Washington University was its 17 in the last 18 games, and a school-record 26th of the season.

For Immediate Release
Stephanie Lindloff, American Rivers, 518.482.2631
Caitlin Jennings, American Rivers, 202.347.7550 x3100
National Flood Safety Awareness Week Begins Today
Over $1 billion in stimulus funds available to remove unsafe, outdated dams to protect communities
today, American Rivers called on recipients of federal stimulus funding
to eliminate a serious flood risk to many communities across the
country unsafe dams. Communities and the environment benefit from the
removal of unsafe and obsolete dams.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act includes more than $1
billion that can be applied to removing these safety hazards. The
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is accepting such
proposals through April 6 (www.habitat.noaa.gov/recovery).
The Natural Resources Conservation Service is also accepting
applications through March 27 for the Emergency Watershed
Protection-Floodplain Easement Program (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/).
American Rivers also called on the Army Corps of Engineers, U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service,
and Bureau of Land Management to wisely invest their Recovery funding
and achieve safer conditions and a healthier environment through dam
"While some dams are beneficial to society, many have outlived their
usefulness and the repairs and regular maintenance they require are an
economic drain on taxpayers," said Rebecca Wodder, president of
American Rivers. "Now more than ever we can't afford to waste money,
and dam removal is often the cheapest way to deal with a dam's safety,
economic, and environmental problems."
According to the Association of State Dam Safety Officials, there
are 10,213 high hazard potential dams across the United States that
would pose a threat to human life if they were to fail. When these
dams do more harm than good, they should be removed.
The challenges of flooding are not new, but today they are
unprecedented in scale. The average cost of annual flood damages has
already tripled in the last century to a staggering $6 billion.
Between global climate change-which will bring bigger storm surges and
more rain-and population growth, those damages will likely increase at
an even faster pace as human, economic, and environmental resources are
more and more taxed.
Unfortunately, many of the measures taken to reduce flooding
actually exacerbate the problem. Dams and levees may temporarily reduce
local flooding, but river scientists agree destroying the natural
functions of healthy rivers and floodplains ultimately makes flooding
In addition to improved public safety, communities that choose to
pull out obsolete dams can also benefit from better water quality,
revitalized fisheries, new recreational opportunities, increased real
estate values, and recovered land suitable for parks and other public
For more than ten years, American Rivers has led a national effort
to restore rivers through removing dams that no longer make sense. This
effort has enabled a gradual shift in society's view of dams and
dramatically increased consideration of dam removal as a reasonable and
beneficial option for restoring rivers.
"When we tear down old infrastructure like obsolete dams, we build
up our natural infrastructure the streams, wetlands and floodplains
that give our communities essential services like clean water, flood
protection, and other economic benefits," added Wodder.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Flood
Safety Awareness Week is designed to educate people on the way floods
occur and what can be done to protect people and property.
This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.
Because of people like you, another world is possible. There are many battles to be won, but we will battle them together—all of us. Common Dreams is not your normal news site. We don't survive on clicks. We don't want advertising dollars. We want the world to be a better place. But we can't do it alone. It doesn't work that way. We need you. If you can help today—because every gift of every size matters—please do. Without Your Support We Simply Don't Exist.
American Rivers is the only national organization standing up for healthy rivers so our communities can thrive. Through national advocacy, innovative solutions and our growing network of strategic partners, we protect and promote our rivers as valuable assets that are vital to our health, safety and quality of life.
Founded in 1973, American Rivers has more than 65,000 members and supporters nationwide, with offices in Washington, DC and the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, California and Northwest regions.

The systems in your environment are extremely important assets. There's a reason that you're trying to secure them. There are often many ways to think about these important assets. Some are used for financial information, some are web servers, and others store intellectual property and so on.
These same assets may be in many different locations around the country or the world. When the number of systems you're managing reaches a certain level, automation of the system monitoring becomes a must and classification of the systems becomes an important way to prioritize and manage the information about your assets.
Tripwire Enterprise (TE) introduced Asset Tagging as a way to automate many of the ways you manage change and configuration information. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how this is done in TE and you can use it as a powerful method of bringing important security information to the forefront.
Creating Asset Tags
Asset Tags give you a way to assign information about a System (a node in Tripwire) to the asset item. This also creates groups for those nodes in the Smart Node Groups area of the Tripwire GUI.
There are 3 common types of Asset Tags you may want to create.
- Tags for assigning Tripwire Rules to an asset
- Tags for what assets to include in Tripwire Reports
- Tags for administrative purposes
An example of a tag used to assign rules: tag an asset with an Linux -Oracle tag, then create a Tripwire Task that uses the Oracle application Rule (filesystem) and then indicates the node group Linux-Oracle for running the check. Any new assets that are assigned the tag "Linux-Oracle" will be automatically added to that group and then next time the Task created for that group runs that new asset with that tag will be baselined.
An example of an asset tag that deals with reporting is to assign a Threat Level to an asset based on the scan results from IP360. Any systems with a Threat Level that's High may be automatically added to a report such as "new executable files added to the system". Until the system is patched and rescanned, this report about an unpatched asset reduces the risk that the vulnerability was exploited by showing you any new executable files on that set of at-risk assets.
Example of an Administrative Tag could be "EG-Processed" to show that you've turned on the Tripwire Event Generator for that asset. Not used for reporting or checking, but still useful for the Tripwire Administrator. The first step is to create the asset tags to be assigned in the Tag Sets area of the Tag Management display.
In Screenshot 1 you can see that "Manage Tagging" was clicked on, then in the left pane "Tag Sets" was chosen. This brought the currently defined set of Tag Sets and their tags into view in the center pane. The right pane has some documentation with suggestions and help for creating Tag Sets and tags.
If you know what traits you'd like to assign to your various assets, then you're ready to group them by their function and come up with a Tag Set name. Then add the tags that belong to that group to the tag set. Empty tag sets have a link called "add tags" across from the tag set name. Click on the "add tags" link and start entering the names in the space provided below the tag set name.
Once you've created all of the Asset Tags you need to classify your assets, the next step is to start assigning those tags to your assets.
Assigning Asset Tags Manually
You can manage tags for each asset (or multiple assets) from here by choosing the checkboxes next to each asset and then following the steps to manually assign asset tags. This is usually done for one-off assets or if there's very little change in the list of assets tracked by Tripwire.
Check the boxes next to the names of the assets in the center pane you want to assign tag to and then notice the right side pane changes to show the "Edit Tags" button. Choose the Edit Tags button and the center pane changes to show the tags.
Next, you open up the tags set(s) by clicking on the > icon next to the tag sets you're interested in using.
Once the tag sets are open, click on the tags you want to assign to the chosen assets. By clicking on the checkboxes next to the tags you want to use you've now assigned those tags to the assets. Click on the "Close" button at the bottom of the center pane when you're done.
Assigning Tags using Tagging Profiles:
Tagging profiles are very convenient for doing automatic Tagging via the basic information Tripwire gathers from a system when it first reports into the TE Console. When a new asset first reports to the Tripwire console, it gives three basic areas of information: the hostname of the asset, the IP address of the asset, and the OS the asset is running.
Choose the "Manage Tagging" section in the left pane of the Asset View. Click on the 2nd item in the left-hand pane – "Tagging Profiles". Make sure you've created the Asset Tags you want to assign before getting to this step else you won't have anything to assign here.
I've added a set of locations to the Locations Tag Set. Start by clicking "New Profile" in the center pane of the display. The display changes and shows the asset tags in the center and at the top of the pane there's a space to give the profile a name. This tagging profile will be "Tag Herndon Assets". We will assign the "Herndon" location to the assets in 3 ways:
Tagging by Hostname:
There are several ways to tag by the hostname:
The Hostname Contains, Does Not Contain, Matches (Regex), Does Not Match (Regex). The easiest is "Hostname Contains". I just enter "HERN" in the space below the "Host Name" and "Contains" dropdowns and if the asset has the letters "HERN" together anywhere in the hostname it will match and assign it to the Herndon location (choosing of the location happens in the section on "Choose Tags to Apply").
To be more precise with the naming convention there is the Regex option. Click on the "Contains" dropdown and choose "Matches (Regex)". The Java Regex is supported. So, if you want to ensure that only hosts with "HER" in the 3rd , 4th and 5th positions of the hostname match, in the space provided you'd enter:
The first two dots ".." represent the 1st character and then the 2nd character of the hostname. Then the HER in the naming scheme ( in this case ) means "Herndon". Then the rest of the hostname follows. By using the "Add a new condition" you can get very precise with asset tagging. Add a 2nd condition by leaving the option at the top set to "All" for the Match "All" conditions. That means you AND together each condition.
Thus, if I add a second condition that the IP-Address much be in the 10.10.22.0 to 10.10.22.255 range as well, then only systems with HER in the 3rd to 5th positions of the hostname and have an IP address that falls into the correct range will get the asset tag you'll assign with the "Choose Tags to Apply" section. If you want to match on any of the conditions (an "OR" case), then click on the "Match … contains" dropdown and choose "Any".
Tagging by IP-Address
Tagging by the IP-Address range is straightforward. There are a few options for how you might setup that range though:
You may use a typical IP address range "10.10.22.0 to 10.10.22.255". You may use Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).
Thus, any assets in the range you define will then have the Asset Tag(s) you pick in the "Choose Tags to Apply" section set to those assets.
Finally, you can set a node's asset tag by the System Defined Tags. This means that when a node registers with the TE Console there are tags that are assigned to the node automatically. The OS for a filesystem agent, the Database type for a new database node and so on for each node type.
Typically, using the system defined tags allow you to tag assets in a more generic fashion, for instance: Any system type with Red Hat in it – Red Hat 5.3, Red Hat 6.1, Red Hat 6.3 can be lumped into a Red Hat group so that you can report on all of the Red Hat boxes from one group (or run the Red Hat rules against every version of the Red Hat OS that you have from one TASK).
Assigning the Tag
Once you've defined how to identify systems for a tag, now you need to choose the tag that the Tagging Profile will assign. Just under the Tagging Profile Name click on the "Choose Tags to Apply".
The Available Tags appear – open up the Tag Set that defines what was tested for in the Conditions. Click the checkboxes next to the tags that apply. Click on the Save button at the bottom right of the display to save the Tagging Profile.
When a new node is added that matches the condition it will now automatically be tagged with the label assigned here.
Assigning Tags via Tripwire ACTIONS
Assets can also be tagged using a Tripwire Action. In the ACTIONS portion of the TE GUI you choose "New Action" and then choose the Common Action "Tag Action". Like most Common Actions in Tripwire, they are usually attached to a Conditional Action. You can change an asset tag based on the content of a change that's detected.
Give the new Tag Action a name and choose "Next".
Choose the Tag Set that contains the tag you want to set then pick a Tag from the "Choose a Tag" dropdown.
As with all Tripwire Actions, the Tag Action must be attached to another Action, to the Action tab of a Rule or in the Action tab of a Task.
A change must be detected before the Action will run. So, Tag Actions are excellent for dropping an Asset into a particular Smart Node Group for reports when changes to specific files or certain configuration changes are made.
Assigning Tags via TECommander Calls
There is one more way to assign asset tags. The Tripwire Professional Services group has produced a Command Line tool to interact with the Tripwire Console. TECommander takes the Tripwire RESTAPI calls and exposes them via a command line tool thus making scripting of TE Console interactions possible.
One possible implementation is to use a script that can look up information from Tripwire or from other sources (CMDB, a spreadsheet, etc) and use that information to make decisions on tagging assets. The example in the script screenshot shows TECommander retrieving information from Tripwire Elements, testing the content and then Asset Tagging the asset based on what was found in the element contents.
To Asset Tag new nodes when they are discovered, setup an Asset Tag Set for Administrative processing. One of the Tags is shown in the screenshot is "Processed". Any node that has the Tripwire Event Generator turned on or another other on-board processing will have the "Processed" tag set (once you've implemented based on the steps below). Given that any asset that is "Untagged" in that Tag Set hasn't been processed you now have a set of "unprocessed" assets in a group that can be handled at one time.
The "Untagged" grouping of a Tag Set does NOT show up in the Smart Node Groups. So, how can you access that information when you want to work on "Untagged" assets? Create a "Saved Filter"! A saved filter allows you to create a Smart Node Group that includes assets that are "untagged".
Once you have the Assets in the Saved Filter named, for example — "Unprocessed Assets", you can then take action on those assets. Setup a Task that uses the "Unprocessed" assets, choose a Rule to run on the Unprocessed Assets, say, look for a particular application on the systems.
Then create an Execution Action that you call from the Action portion of the Task – and call the TECommander Script you've created. Test the asset for information you're interested in (from the initial baselined information) and then Tag the asset with the Asset Tags based on your script logic.
The execution action to call the script (in the screenshot below) would look like this:
The execution action for this script is set to run every time the task is run even if no changes are found. But it will only do something if there are Nodes in the Saved Filter we setup. Once the "Processed" tag is set on an asset it will no longer be in our Saved Filter. Thus, only new TE nodes will be processed by this script — just one time.
Scripting is a little more complicated, but gives you the ultimate in flexibility. Tripwire Professional Services group often builds integrations and custom logic for our customers using TECommander and other integrations tools. Just ask your sales rep if you require their expertise.
Combining Tags with Saved Filters
Saved Filters allow you to combine asset tags. If you want a group of systems that are in one location and have a particular OS, say, "Herndon" nodes that are running "Oracle". Click on the "Saved Filters" entry in the left pane, click on "New Saved Filter" button at the top of the center pane. Then give the Saved Filter a name, say "Herndon Oracle Servers". Then click the checkboxes next to the Location "Herndon" and the Application "Oracle".
All assets that have both of those asset tags will show up in that saved filter group in the Smart Nodes Group view. That way, if you have MS-SQL nodes in Herndon as well you can create another Saved Filter for Herndon-MSSQL. Then you have the equivalent of 2 DB types nested under Herndon.
And, as noted above, Saved Filters are the only way to take a set of "Untagged" assets and make them visible as a group in the Tripwire Smart Node Groups.
The Asset Tag functionality in Tripwire Enterprise makes management of TE much easier and is another great way to integrate with other products so that information can be shared. At more and more large customers, TE has become the glue between several other security products as well as adding valuable information about unexpected modifications to those products. By using Asset Tags along with the the TECommander script, integrations with TE have helped to break the silos of security information making a combination that is more powerful than the applications alone.

RONNIE VERRELL, who has died aged 76, was Britain's best-known big band drummer for half a century. He achieved star status with Ted Heath in the 1950s, and subsequently became a model for several generations of aspiring British drummers.
Verrell possessed a rare combination of craftsmanship and bravura showmanship. His feature numbers, such as Hawaiian War Chant, invariably brought audiences to their feet.
At the same time, he was able to read complex percussion parts at sight, an accomplishment which made him a much sought-after musician in the recording field.
Whenever a drum was beaten or a cymbal crashed on a British-made film or television soundtrack, it was likely to be Verrell's work.
Ronald Thomas Verrell was born at Rochester, Kent, on February 21 1926 and began playing drums as a young teenager. He took one lesson, from the formidable veteran Max Abrams, and thereafter taught himself.
At 14, young Ronnie was evacuated to South Wales, where he gained his first practical experience, playing in the bands of Glan Evans and Jack Morgan at Porthcawl.
Returning to Kent in 1943, he worked professionally at Gillingham Pavilion with the Claude Giddins band before working as a "Bevin Boy" in the South Wales coalfields. He returned briefly to Gillingham before joining the clarinettist Carl Barriteau's band at the Embassy Club in the West End.
This was followed by a few months with the Londonaires Dance Orchestra in Munich before he attained the higher reaches of the profession as a member of Cyril Stapleton's broadcasting orchestra in 1949.
Verrell joined Ted Heath's orchestra in 1952, when it was at the peak of its early success, and remained for 15 years. He can be heard on such Heath hits of the time as The Champ, Hot Toddy and Swingin' Shepherd Blues.
Like most former Heath players, Verrell looked back on those years with unequivocable pride. "It was full houses everywhere. I used to read in the papers 'such-and-such a band at so-and-so Empire, with guests so-and-so.'
"Ted Heath never had guests and we were always sold out. That's how good it was. I remember thinking I never wanted it to end."
Like most of his former colleagues, Verrell turned after Heath's retirement to a full-time career in the recording and television studios, mainly with Jack Parnell's ATV orchestra.
Among many other productions, Parnell provided the music for The Muppet Show, and it was here that Verrell became an international superstar, albeit anonymously. He provided the sound for "Animal," the manic puppet drummer.
In one episode he even found himself (as "Animal") playing a duet with one of his own heroes, the great American drummer Buddy Rich.
By 1980, Verrell had been almost exclusively a studio musician for more than a decade when he received a call from Syd Lawrence, leader of Britain's leading Glenn Miller-style band: "Can you help me? I know you're busy. How are you fixed next Sunday?"
"So I helped him out that Sunday," Verrell recalled in a 1996 interview - and, for almost two decades, he continued to work for Lawrence. "It was great to be playing again to a live audience, and playing what you want to play to a full house and be appreciated."
A serious road accident put Verrell out of action for almost a year, leaving him with a permanently bent posture, but he returned to making regular appearances with the Lawrence band.
In 2000, he joined the touring all-star band Best Of British, with which he continued to earn a standing ovation with his driving solos.
Until recently Verrell also made weekly television appearances on Frank Skinner's show, as a member of the resident "senior citizen" trio.
Ronnie Verrell was married three times. He leaves his wife and two daughters.

For sequence 1, the sequence is \(312211, 13112221, 1113213211, \dots\). It is called "look-and-say" sequence, which has the property to describe the amount of same digits concatenating together, then concatenate that word with the digit itself.
For example, start with 1 (one 1s), 11 (two 1s), 21 (one 2s and one 1s), 1211 (one 1s, one 2s and two 1s), 111221 (three 1s, two 2s and one 1), 312211 (one 3s, one 1s, two 2s, two 1s) and so on. Notice that the next number is formed by concatenating the amount of that consecutive digit into the number itself
For sequence 2, see sequence A082492 at OEIS
For sequence 3, see sequence A006942 at OEIS
For sequence 4, it is \(1828, 45904, 523536, \dots\). It follows the significant figures of \(e\).

Kaley Cuoco Lunches with Sister Briana!
Kaley Cuoco is joined by her younger sister Briana to get lunch at Porta Via on Thursday afternoon (November 14) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 27-year-old Big Bang Theory actress was also accompanied by her parents for the family filled lunch outing.
While talking about her upcoming wedding to fiance Ryan Sweeting, Kaley talked about how she would like to incorporate her love for animals into her big day.
"I'm a big animal freak. I'd rather the animals be there than real people," Kaley said on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. "The whole farm's going to be at our wedding."
"I might ride in on one of my horses," she said. "I secretly want to do that."
25+ pictures inside of Kaley Cuoco out for lunch with her family…
