At the start of the summer, hopes for Fiorentina were relatively low. A disappointing 2011/12 season finished with them in 13th place and many of their fans feeling frustrated. Their season was hardly ideal, after manager Sinisa Mihajlovic was sacked in November, and replaced by Delio Rossi who steered them, well more like dragged them to a place in mid table mediocrity with a 13th place finish.
Fans of the Florence based club were hardly filled with excitement heading into this season. With big named players who helped them qualify for the prestigious champions league regularly in the mid to late 2000's such as Alberto Gilardino and former Chelsea man Adrian Mutu now long gone, few felt Fiorentina had enough world class players to push the club into Europe again. However, the actions of the owner over the summer showed the club weren't willing to accept another mid table finish.
Over the summer, in came; Borja Valero from Villarreal, Alberto Aquilani from Liverpool, Emiliano Viviano on loan from Palermo and David Pizarro from AS Roma to name but a few. However, arguably the most positive news of the summer for Fiorentina was the news that the previous season's breakout star Stefan Jovetic would be staying despite rumoured interest from most notably, Manchester City.
The season began well for Fiorentina, as they got impressive wins against, amongst others, Udinese, Catania and Lazio, and famously a 3-1 win against AC Milan at the San Siro. So what is it about them this season that wasn't there last season? Well, of course, the investment has helped. Borja Valero has been influential in central midfield, having played in all twelve of the club's games so far this season, as has on loan goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.
Their defensive organisation has improved massively from last season, with the side having conceded a mere 9 goals in 12 games, significantly more impressive when you consider Fiorentina have played Internazionale, AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli already this season. As expected, Stefan Jovetic has been an integral part of the success enjoyed by the club this season. His guile, energy and trickery have helped him to six goals this season, a record that will only lead to more speculation in January or the summer over his future.
As long as they can keep Jovetic, I am confident that Fiorentina can remain in the top six, or even four, as they are now. With the new signings settling in well and the squad looking settled and confident, Fiorentina are the sort of side that look like they can defeat anyone on their day. Another huge advantage that Fiorentina have is the fact that they are not in any form of European competition unlike their rivals at the top of the table.
They could well be a team to watch for the remainder of the season.

Jan Hudson's Photography Tips is a weekly feature here for anyone interested but especially for musicians who need or want to do their own photography work. This week, Jan discusses how to get the best look for those action shots – the ones you want when you really want to show that your band knows what to do on stage. To read previous tips, just search for "Jan Hudson" on the "search feature" in the sidebar of this page.
Welcome back! In this week's blog we are going to learn how to photograph your band in action. Action or live shots look great on your website and shows prospective promoters that you have what it takes to put on a great show.
Firstly, make sure that everyone knows ahead of time that you will be shooting photos of the band. This way you can plan your course of action and follow through on it. Don't be afraid to do a good job. Doing a good job sometimes means that you will have to put yourself into situations where you might feel uncomfortable, such as getting onto the stage to shoot while the band is playing. Pull up those bootstraps and get on with it. You want to look like a photographic genius, now don't you? =)
Here are some tips for getting great on-site, live action shots of your band.
1. MOVE IN CLOSE...don't be afraid to photograph each member of the group as they are playing.(see the image of the close up of a band member) Photograph that person from several different angles, keeping an eye on the headstocks and expressions. Take tons of photos, this is digital, it's not going to cost you a thing. That being said, if you are using flash on a darkened stage, you may want to use "bounce" flash or take a couple of shots and move on to the next person, that way your subject gets a chance for their eyes to recover from the flash. If you are shooting outdoors on a nice day, have at it. You don't need flash and even if you do use it, the light outside allows the eye not to be bothered as much. Think of it this way, when you are in dark space, the iris of your eye becomes large (kind of like when you have your eyes dilated when you go to the eye doctor) well, imagine someone taking flash shots over and over directly into your dilated eyes. ouch... your subject wouldn't be able to see and you wouldn't either and that's dangerous when you're on the edge of the stage.
If your band is on a stage that is darkly lit or they are in front of a dark background but the group is lit well, the computer/light meter in your camera is fooled. It sees all of that darkness and thinks, "holy moly, it's dark, I have to slow down this exposure!" Wrong. Bad camera! The problem with automatic cameras is that the light meter "averages" the exposure. It looks at the scene and tries to balance the exposure. Most of the time, this is okay. But, when you have a dark background and a lighted subject, the meter is seeing everything and it's computer is fooled. (see the photo of the band that is totally washed out) As you can see from the image, the band is totally washed out. Well, since the band is the main objective of our photo, how do we fool the camera into getting the correct exposure? Get in as close as you can and remove as much of the background from the viewfinder that you can. This way, the camera/meter sees the important areas of the picture to take it's light reading and your photo should look great. If it has to average the scene, make sure the scene is tight and the best way to do this is use the zoom or telephoto lens. You will find that just the opposite happens on a bright sunny day with a stage that has a roof over it. Again, move in close and try to get just the stage, not the sky or surrounding area.
TELEPHOTO LENSES ( or the zoom feature on your camera) ALSO ARE GREAT FOR THE TIMES THAT YOU WANT TO STAY INCOGNITO...many people get nervous when they think that they're having their picture taken and you know who those people are. Rather than terrorize them by standing in front of them while they're playing and trying to concentrate on the music, back away and let the lens bring them to you. They will never know that you are getting fantastic shots until you show them the pictures.
2. MOVE AROUND THE STAGE...who says you can't get right up on stage and photograph the group? The photos are so much better because you aren't constantly looking up everyone's nose and you can get creative. If this makes you a little nervous at first, you can always sit on the edge of the stage and get angle shots. Then get up and move stealthily around the stage. (see images from onstage) I usually wear darker or plain clothing so I don't look so conspicuous. Shoot from behind to get the band and the crowd. Just let everyone know what you're going to do ahead of time and maybe plan on shooting during the second set, when they've relaxed a bit. Sure, it feels awkward at first, but once you start seeing the advantages and how great the shots look, you'll relax and get into it and the photos will knock their socks off.
[Editor's Note: Jan is talking about a photographer who is "with the band" and therefore has permission to be on stage." If you're not actually authorized by the band or the venue, you'd probably best not try to just walk on stage with a camera or you may find security people escorting you out of the concert or festival. On the other hand, if you have a professional camera and want to try to get these types of shots, contacting the band or the venue prior to the show and asking for permission often will get you those privileges.]
3. TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT.... shoot down the headstock for a unique image. (see headstock with guitar player) The camera will focus on the headstock and the player will be out of focus, but what a neat effect. Be different!
4. GET CREATIVE, SHOOT THE DETAILS.... You'd be surprised what you can do with detail shots. You can use them on ads, business cards, composites...if you shoot them, you'll have them available to use when you get a creative streak going. (see detail shot)
5. REMEMBER THAT THE ON-CAMERA POP UP FLASH IS USELESS AFTER 12 FEET...so, come in close and use the wide angle feature of your lens. This will widen the angle of your shot allowing you to come closer to the group so your flash will expose the entire band correctly. (see dark shot of band taken too far away)
6. SHOOT DIFFERENT ANGLES OF THE BAND.... Try shooting straight on and then move to the end and shoot down the line of the group from both sides...just shoot!
7. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE...many times you have to frame your subject and wait. When you see the expression that you are looking for, shoot! Everyone will think that you got lucky, but great "candids" are hard work and patience.
I'm hoping that this information will help you take better live photos of your band. Next time your band or a friend's band is playing, grab that camera and start shooting. Practice really does make perfect. Please let me know if you have any questions!
NEXT WEEK...AFTERCAPTURE...AKA: ruh roh...I shot the group shot and it's dark, what now? Oh, boy, there's a huge refection in that window, can I fix it? Let's try a little magic! Most of you have Windows Live Photo Gallery, let's learn how to use it to our advantage. Let me know if you have any questions concerning Photoshop, and I'll try to answer those for you, too.
Thanks everyone. See you next week! Jan Hudson

Most Common Problem Areas When Refereeing Soccer
Comments : 0
- Keep up with play. It looks bad from the side line and the players/coaches get upset when you give (or don't give) decisions because you are near the halfway line while the play is up one end of the field! DO NOT HAVE YOUR BACK TO THE LINESMEN.
- Your most important piece of equipment is your whistle. Make sure you purchase a good whistle. Your whistle is necessary to control the game, attract the players' attention and convey your directions. All players must be able to hear your whistle from wherever they are on the pitch.
- Know the main rules in soccer and don't be afraid to instruct the players (especially novice/young). Show them how to take a throw in if they keep doing it wrong! It is not an offence to be in an offside position, only if they gain an advantage. Learn the offside rule as it is the number one problem especially when we don't have neutral linesmen.
- Look interested, give hand signals (who's free, which way is the throw in), be assertive and friendly. Use the whistle properly. If it's a normal free, short sharp whistle, hard tackle that could cause an injury, long loud whistle. If you need to gain players attention (i.e. making a sub/goal kick), a few short bursts of the whistle, when they look at you, hold out your hand in the stop position and you can also say "wait".
We learn from our mistakes. Ask the coach for an honest opinion after the match. Remember we are going to make mistakes and can't see everything. Ignore the abuse, but don't allow it to continue. Use the yellow card sparingly but with authority.

Today my Pappy Tanner passed away. Last week he had open heart surgery and unfortunately had a tough time recovering. After having issues with his kidney and lungs he died this morning from cardiac arrest at a hospital in Texas.
He will be missed by many. I have many memories of playing with him at our home in Tennessee as a child. He was always very good to us grandchildren and to his great-grandchildren.
This is a photo taken in May 2007 just after Rylee was born. It is the only photo I have of four generations of Tanners.
Goodbye Pappy.

Mylan to serve as title sponsor of World TeamTennis in three-year agreement
PITTSBURGH — Generic drug maker Mylan and World TeamTennis announced a three-year agreement under which WTT will be renamed Mylan World TeamTennis.

For Mylan, access is our purpose. We are working every day to set new standards in health care and provide the world's 7 billion people access to high-quality medicine — and breaking down barriers to access along the way."
Mylan said it would serve as the title sponsor of the WTT Pro League's more than 50 matches per season through 2015, and it hopes to extend the reach of WTT to new markets outside the United States.

Report: Kroger extends call center pilot
HAMILTON, Ohio — Kroger has extended a pharmacy call center pilot project with Koncert IT through February 2013, according to a report published Tuesday by JournalNews.
"Right now [Kroger is] looking at possible infrastructure expansion in the event that it continues to move forward," Walt McLaren, president of Koncert IT, told JournalNews.
The initiative is expected to untether in-store pharmacists for more on-site patient interaction while the call center will enable Kroger pharmacists to engage patients on their health and wellness over the phone.
The pilot consisted of a call center serving 14 Kroger pharmacies across eastern Cincinnati.

Medicine adherence, long-term care and provider status on agenda at NCPA meeting
SAN DIEGO — The National Community Pharmacists Association released its third online pharmacy benefit manager video at the Association's Annual Convention. Titled "Fed Up With Phil," the video is part of campaign to create greater awareness of how pharmacy benefit managers can undermine the relationship between patients and their pharmacists.
NCPA's CEO B. Douglas Hoey, R.Ph, said the organization will work this year to raise awareness among patients, plan sponsors and policy makers about how independent pharmacists help patients get the maximum value of their health plan.
Hoey said NCPA medicine adherence programs were a dominant theme at the meeting, with specialized programming and a special section devoted to the issue in the exhibition hall.
Lack of adherence costs the U.S. $300 billion a year, said Hoey. The shift to a preventive care philosophy makes it more crucial that pharmacists are recognized for their roles as healthcare providers, he said.
Long-term care niche marketing was also a hot topic at the meeting with a half-day of programming and a special section in the exhibition hall devoted to the area.
Donnie Calhoun, NCPA's president elect, said that in 2012 the organization will focus on expanding community pharmacies' scope of practice and will seek provider status for pharmacists. "It's time we championed the patient's choice of pharmacy and our role as healthcare providers," he said.
Calhoun, who has worked as a pharmacist for 20 years and is the owner of a community pharmacy in Anniston, Ala., said that pharmacists should be paid for immunizing patients as well as providing the consultation and follow-up care essential to ensuring that patients adhere to their medication and healthcare regimen.
On the legislative front, John Coster, NCPA's senior VP government affairs, said the organization will be focusing on "bringing more sense to how PBMs regulate pharmacies" and how much pharmacists will be paid for services, and will support legislation that exempts small pharmacies from bidding on Medicare competitive acquisition programs and pricing.

Remember when the higher you bid per click, the higher your position was? Seems like forever ago, and some PPC networks still work on this design. Not AdWords.
Nowadays, what is important when advertising via Google AdWords? The answer is your Quality Score, as Google no longer operates on the "highest bid wins" system and has moved to a new Quality based bidding system.
To help you understand exactly how your Quality Score effects bid prices and ultimately your ROI, check out this great video posted by Google's Chief Economist Hal Varian.
After viewing, you can clearly see how important it is to improve your quality score by bumping up your click through rate and re-evaluating your landing page relevancy. Doing so will reduce your overall costs as well.
Video highly recommended!

CNET First Look
Samsung SyncMaster XL2370The Samsung SyncMaster XL2370 looks great, performs well, and hits at just the right price point.
[ MUSIC ] ^M00:00:03 >> Hey, guys, this is Eric Franklin from CNET.com, and today we're taking a first look at the Samsung Syncmaster XL3270. This is a 23-inch LED backlit monitor that kind of looks like a thinner, prettier, younger sister of the Samsung P2370. It's actually so thin and sexy that a few CNETers have started to totally shoot it the stink eye. >> Wow, I am sooooo hot. How did I get this really, really, really ridiculously good looking? [pause] Uh, uh, oh my God. What, what the? She is sooooo skinny. Uh, what a [beep]. >> Girls, girls, girls! You're all pretty. Okay, to their credit, the display really is thin, measuring just under an inch in depth. So you know, they have a right to be jealous. [shuffling] Get this out of here. [sigh] The edges of the bezel are transparent as are the edges of the footstand. Now this isn't the most stable footstand in the world, but that may have more to do with the display's low, sub-eight-pound weight. That's even lighter than some 20-inchers. The screen height isn't adjustable, and there isn't a screen rotation or pivot option for portrait mode. The capability to tilt the screen back 25 degrees is the only ergonomic feature included. Connection options include DVI, HDMI, and both analog and digital out connections. And the connections face backwards, making them easy to access. The onscreen display, or OSD, includes seven presets which can be easily accessed through a shortcut at the touch of a button. You can choose to have the OSD array to always be on -- watching you, judging you -- or you can set it to disappear after a few seconds. We used the display's movie preset to check out a few hi-def videos, and found that the XL to be bright in places it needs to be and appropriately dark when it was called for. The colors also look very natural. Games continue this high-contrast trend with bright and vibrant imagery. In power consumption, the XL2370 will cost you about 10 dollars per year to run, compared with the P2370's 9 dollars per year and the Dell G2410's low 7 dollars per year. Samsung expects the XL2370 to have an estimated street price of 300 dollars when it's released in October. That's about 35 dollars more than what the P2370 is currently going for, and about the same price as the 24-inch LED backlit G2410. Our pick for the best overall 23-incher, however, is still the 319-dollar Dell SP2309W. While the XL doesn't have as many features as the SP2309W, it attempts to compensate with better looks, a fitter design, ease of portability and great performance. For more information, check out my full review at CNET.com. Once again this is Eric Franklin, and this has been a first look at the Samsung Syncmaster XL2370. ^M00:03:16 [ MUSIC ] ^M00:03:21 So you know, they have a right to be jealous. [beep] We both -- [laughter] >> [inaudible] >> Dude, you're such a girl, jeez. Throw with both hands, okay? >> Okay, okay. ^M00:03:32

Working in 3D on a flat computer monitor can sometimes be disorienting. To aid navigation in the 3D space you can change your viewer to display views from different angles.
Changing the view
At the top left of the Viewer the current view mode is displayed.
Clicking on the view mode displays all the available modes.
Active camera view
The active camera view shows what will be rendered when you export. This is what will appear in your videos.
Changing the position and orientation when in active camera view will change your camera's properties.
For more information on cameras see Camera layers.
Perspective view
The perspective view is a useful way to explore your scene without affecting the position of your camera.
This view works almost identically to the active camera view, with the exception of 2D layers which will not be visible.
Orthographic views
The orthographic views provide flat, 2D dimensional views of your 3D scene. The orthographic views do not show perspective or depth.
You can choose from front, back, left, right, top and bottom views.
As they are presented in a 2D 'blueprint' form, the orthographic views are very useful for precise positioning of layers in the 3D space.
The orthographic views are controlled in a similar way to the Viewer when it is in 2D mode.
Zoom and pan controls in the corner of the Viewer can be clicked and dragged for quick movements.
Multiple views
HitFilm Ultimate only
You can display up to 4 views in the Viewer at the same time. This enables you to cross-reference different views simultaneously to ensure that your positioning is accurate.
The Views menu at the top of the Viewer can be used to change the number of viewing areas.
Each viewing area has its own menu for changing the view mode and the Viewer customization options can be set individually for each panel.
RECAP 3D composite shots can be worked on from several different viewpoints.

Chris takes a look at one of the new Star Wars novels: Star Wars Aftermath by Chuck Wendig. It's not very good.
One of the worst parts of the Star Wars Expanded Universe novels, before the great Disney purge, was that most felt like fan-fiction at best. It is unfortunate that Sci-Fi series can sometimes attract sub-par talent, which in turn diminishes the legacy of the brand. I'm unsure if this is a "lower bidder" kind of thing, or if companies just figure the license can and will sell itself, that they are unwilling to invest in a major talent to produce books for their heaviest hitters.
Which brings me to Star Wars: Aftermath by Chuck Wendig. I, a professional bookseller with lots of science fiction experience, had never heard of Wendig before this novel. Upon further research, he appears to being a very Internet-savvy kind of guy, and probably grew up with Star Wars, just as I have. Apparently, he used his Twitter account to rally his fans to petition Disney to allow him to write a Star Wars novel. And as we all know, only good things happen when you listen to the Internet.
Star Wars: Aftermath commits the ultimate sin: it is boring as hell. I went from being literally giddy with anticipation for this novel, to slowing forcing myself to finish it over the course of two weeks. So many new characters, planets, spaceships, droids, slang, and whatnot are introduced so frequently, and so poorly fleshed out, that everything jumbles together into one big mess that you won't care about.
Aftermath is the first in a planned trilogy that will establish the new canon of the Star Wars universe following the events of Return of the Jedi. The Empire has been dealt a crushing blow, the Rebels have formed into a new Republic, and everyone is trying to pick up the pieces. It is a damn shame that these themes, which have the potential to be incredibly exciting, are slopped together into a seemingly random jumble of chapters, sentence fragments, and both boring and confusing action sequences. The reader never knows where they are, who the characters are, and what anything has to do with anything else.
|Chuck Wendig
Wendig has taken the lazy way out and chosen to place most of the "action" on the remote Outer Rim planet Akiva, which is totally NOT Tatooine, except in the way that it totally is. There's so much possibility in the freshly de-cluttered Star Wars universe, and the author chose the least exciting route. How many times do we need to see a desolate planet, full of scum and villainy, drunk cantina patrons, and junk scavengers?
The inhabitants of these new locals feel like different versions of the same character, and Wendig is never able to break himself out of his own tone enough to establish a personality for any of them. Everyone is witty, in a snarky kind of way, and everyone is deceptively clever and skilled in confrontation with enemies. A kid is a skilled pilot (just like Anakin), his mother is protective yet strong (like Anakin's mom) there's a confrontation in a cantina (just like in A New Hope) and a good guy gets caught in an Imperial ship and has to sneak around the base (just like The Phantom Menace.)
|The forthcoming sequels.
If this series is to truly continue to all three planned parts, serious intervention is needed. A co-writer should be brought in, a new editor assigned, and far more hands-on work from the Star Wars Story Group needs to be applied to whatever skeleton of a plotline this series is supposed to have. Wendig has severely tarnished his reputation with Star Wars fans with this bargain-basement book, and after the release of The Force Awakens this winter, it will be hard to get excited for another book written in this time period again. At least I've heard good things about the YA novel written by Claudia Gray.

Daycroft's Academic Philosophy,
Mission, and Goals
Early childhood and elementary education at Daycroft incorporates a unique blend of the traditional Montessori approach complemented by traditional and progressive teaching methods. We share the belief of Maria Montessori and many other educators that children must be allowed to learn at their own pace. We recognize that children demonstrate intelligence in many ways and acquire understanding through many learning styles.
The mission of Daycroft Montessori School is to provide a personalized learning environment that appreciates individual differences, nurtures the whole child, and enables students to develop at their own pace and achieve to their full potential.
- To provide the child with opportunities to work and cooperate within a mixed age group
- To encourage each child to carry out assigned tasks and meet deadlines
- To assess and challenge each child's individual cognitive ability
- To provide each child with a stimulating learning environment where he or she can work at his or her own pace
- To make education "student-centered" and accommodate all learning styles
Character Education
At Daycroft Montessori School, education of character is considered equally with academic education. Our students learn to take care of themselves, their environment, and each other. They practice cooking, cleaning, building, gardening, moving gracefully, speaking politely, being considerate and helpful, doing social work in the community, and much more.
"I loved going to school at Daycroft because of all of the wonderful teachers and environment there."
—Catherine Lillard, alumnus

"Every ordinance of secession that was drawn was drawn by a Democrat. Every man that endeavored to tear the old flag from the heaven that it enriches was a Democrat. Every man that tried to destroy this nation was a Democrat. Every enemy this great Republic has had for twenty years has been a Democrat. Every man that shot Union soldiers was a Democrat. Every man that denied to the Union prisoners even the worm-eaten crust of famine, and when some poor, emaciated Union patriot, driven to insanity by famine, saw in an insane dream the face of his mother, and she beckoned him and he followed, hoping to press her lips once again against his fevered face, and when he stepped one step beyond the dead line the wretch that put the bullet through his loving, throbbing heart was and is a Democrat. Every man that loved slavery better than liberty was a Democrat. The man that assassinated Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat. Every man that sympathized with the assassin — every man glad that the noblest President ever elected was assassinated, was a Democrat. Every man that wanted the privilege of whipping another man to make him work for him for nothing and pay him with lashes on his naked back, was a Democrat. Every man that raised bloodhounds to pursue human beings was a Democrat. Every man that clutched from shrieking, shuddering, crouching mothers, babes from their breasts, and sold them into slavery, was a Democrat. … Soldiers, every scar you have on your heroic bodies was given you by a Democrat. Every scar, every arm that is lacking, every limb that is gone, is a souvenir of a Democrat. I want you to recollect it."

1964: The Saw
1980: Reagan Likes Proliferation
2006: Laffey Hopes You Die and Burns Hates Firefighters
2008: McCain's 100 Year War and Merkley Needs a Moment
Unique feature: Incentive to interfere in other party's primary cause disunion or simply support weaker candidate (must be secret)
Example: Muskie in 1972
Just before New Hampshire primary, conservative paper's editorial accuses Democratic front-runner Muskie of using an ethnic slur against French-Americans, a large voting bloc in NH. Evidence = letter from a Florida man (actually a hoax planted by Nixon White House). Muskie reacts emotionally (tears or melted snow?), and is defeated by ultra-liberal McGovern.

Android: DSLRNinja Rate My Picture Game!
I was planning this application since I made the histogram one. Actually, my initial idea was to make a "histogram game" where the user would find out if their photo histogram was considered "good" by the software. I had some of the app written by copying existing code and modifying it, but I kept putting the project off. In retrospect I probably felt the app wasn't exciting enough to bother … Continue reading

Comparison of direct covariance flux measurements from an offshore tower and a buoy
TypeJournal article
Peer reviewed
MetadataShow full item record
Direct covariance flux (DCF) measurements taken from floating platforms are contaminated by wave-induced platform motions that need to be removed before computation of the turbulent fluxes. Several correction algorithms have been developed and successfully applied in earlier studies from research vessels and, most recently, by the use of moored buoys. The validation of those correction algorithms has so far been limited to short-duration comparisons against other floating platforms. Although these comparisons show in general a good agreement, there is still a lack of a rigorous validation of the method, required to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the existing motion-correction algorithms. This paper attempts to provide such a validation by a comparison of flux estimates from two DCF systems, one mounted on a moored buoy and one on the Air–Sea Interaction Tower (ASIT) at the Martha's Vineyard Coastal Observatory, Massachusetts. The ASIT was specifically designed to minimize flow distortion over a wide range of wind directions from the open ocean for flux measurements. The flow measurements from the buoy system are corrected for wave-induced platform motions before computation of the turbulent heat and momentum fluxes. Flux estimates and cospectra of the corrected buoy data are found to be in very good agreement with those obtained from the ASIT. The comparison is also used to optimize the filter constants used in the motion-correction algorithm. The quantitative agreement between the buoy data and the ASIT demonstrates that the DCF method is applicable for turbulence measurements from small moving platforms, such as buoys.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
In the initial stage of dating, the guidebooks say we should stay positive — put our best foot forward. If that's the case, Dan* and I both committed epic fails.
I met Dan at a friend's birthday party. His tall, lithe frame instantly got my attention, and his pleasant personality held it. We talked long enough for me to learn we both loved the outdoors, solitary adventures, and cats. He used to ski competitively, which I took as a sign that he might understand my own drive to compete in the duathlon (run-bike-run). I decided I wouldn't mind spending more time with Dan. He gave me his card, I e-mailed, and we set a date.
He was an absolute gentleman. He picked me up in his large SUV. (I'm not too keen on gas-guzzling vehicles, but I was glad that I didn't have to drive anywhere.) We had a lovely light dinner at a tapas restaurant in Berkeley. Conversation flowed nicely. He opened doors. He didn't try to kiss me, and he asked to see me again. He waited in front of my building until I was safely inside. I floated up the stairs, thrilled to have met such a charming, intelligent, and, yes, handsome man.
In the days to come, everything went awry.
The week after our Friday night date, Dan and I e-mailed every day. We shared the minutiae of our workdays and even made loose plans for date two: an afternoon stroll around Lake Merritt in Oakland, where I live. On the weekends, the area is alive with activity, with people of all stripes running, walking, and biking around the lake, or picnicking, dancing, and even tightrope walking in the adjacent park space. A Lake Merritt walk with a new date seemed like a fun, low-pressure way to get to know each other.
Unfortunately the positive momentum crashed around midweek, when our e-conversation turned to bikes. He expressed his unease at bike commuting (understandable), and then proceeded to list everything cyclists do that irritate him while he's driving.
"They take over the whole lane!"
"They ride the wrong way in the bike lane!"
"They run red lights!" he wrote.
All of these complaints and more I've heard before. But I had never heard what came next.
The gentleman that served me slivers of smoked salmon and charmed me with thoughtful conversation just days before wrote, when explaining the challenges of bicycling in city traffic, that hitting a pedestrian is "more fair" than "playing dice" with a car.
I read the note over and over, assuming he had either made a twisted joke or I had seriously misunderstood. I'm still not sure what he really meant, but regardless, it seemed acceptable to him to hit a pedestrian while riding a bike.
I immediately thought of Sustchi Hui, the 71-year-old man that was hit and killed by a rapidly descending cyclist in a San Francisco crosswalk. The cyclist ran a red light and barreled into pedestrian traffic. The incident generated some heated words against the cyclist that hit Hui and cyclists in general. Even those of us that ride respectfully were suddenly at fault.
Dan knew that I am a runner and cyclist. He knew that I spend a ridiculous amount of time on my bike, much of it in the company of cars. On Saturdays alone, I usually ride four hours or more on hilly roads throughout the San Francisco Bay Area's eastern side. What Dan didn't realize was that the car-bike collisions experienced by my club mates and myself have heightened my sense of bike advocacy. After riding head first into the side of a maroon Honda Accord that made a swift illegal U-turn, I became very interested in my city's efforts to keep the roads safe for bicyclists, pedestrians, and cars.
I had to speak up. Dating rulebooks be damned.
"Hitting a pedestrian is never okay," I wrote. I wrote and wrote some more, countering his criticisms and the off-the-wall comment.
Suddenly, I was less excited about date two and my supposed gentleman. I imagined him in his large SUV, cursing at cyclists and pedestrians. (I know that's not fair, but my mind wanders.) Could he really understand my time-consuming, expensive hobby? My anticipation over this budding friendship and potential relationship fizzled with a simple email. I wondered how much we really had in common after all.
I didn't cancel the date. I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt, so I worked to let go of my irritation. Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, I thought. Maybe I'm being too hard on the guy. I can be super-critical of new dates, as if I'm just waiting for them to screw up. Eventually, I find some character flaw that deems them unacceptable: an odd habit, an opposing opinion, back hair.
As much as I wanted it to, the infatuation never came back. I wasn't floating up the stairs anymore. A walk around the lake suddenly sounded tiring, not playful. I wondered if I might catch a cold in the next few days.
Turns out, date two mutually fell apart. We agreed to talk in a few days, but I didn't hear from him for two weeks.
"I don't think I want to date anyone right now," he said.
Or did he just not want to date me, a woman that called him out on his B.S. just days after the first date?
So maybe I did break the "rules" by expressing my opinion and challenging his so early in the relationship. I'm glad I did. I realized that cycling is more important to me than I thought — more important than a date with a gentleman that doesn't respect a mode of transportation and sport that I love. Next time I seek out a date, I'll make sure he has a positive attitude toward me as well as those lovely two-wheeled machines.

What is the first step when starting online? This is a question I frequently get asked. I do have an opinion as to what, I believe, is the fastest way to get started online. However, for purposes of this article I will identify some of the more common business models that are used for creating an online business.
Let's start by defining what a business model is. A business model is the method used by a company, to do business, that generates its' revenue and allows the company to sustain itself. So, a first step to take, for someone considering an online business, is to understand the online business models available. A second step is to then determine how you would like to position yourself in the online business world.
In this article I will talk about 5 online business models frequently used by newcomers to the online business world. While additional business models exist, these 5 are a good place for beginners to familiarize themselves with the options available.
Online Business Models
- Ecommerce Model: Ecommerce is the buying and selling of products using an electronic medium such as the internet. Amazon is probably the largest ecommerce site. However, you do not need to be large to have an ecommerce site. You can start small and specialize in the type of products you carry. This will differentiate you in the marketplace. While pros and cons will not be specifically discussed in this article, it should be noted that the ecommerce model can be a very competitive space within which to work.
- Membership/Subscription Model: In this model a monthly subscription fee is paid and in return members are provided with access to various types of products. Now these products can be physical or digital. The products can be mailed, downloaded or streamed. The purpose of the site usually surrounds members receiving ongoing training, as well as, industry updates.
- Freelance Service Model: Anyone possessing a marketable skill can establish a website from which they can promote their services. Outsourcing is very popular as both large and small companies look to keep their in-house staff small. Services such as transcription, website creation, graphics creation, video creation are just a sample of the types of freelance services offered in the marketplace.
- Information Products/Consulting Services Model: For someone who possesses expertise in a particular field, this model can be very appealing. Creating and selling digital products that can be downloaded or streamed is a growing segment in online business. The creation of ebooks, how to guides, online courses, webinars and podcasts are all methods used to share particular knowledge with the world. The approach that has the greatest one on one interaction is the consulting services approach.
- Affiliate Marketing Model: Affiliate Marketing is the easiest method to use to get started online. It is the process of marketing other people's products and services in return for a commission payment when a sale is made. Because the product owner provides their affiliate with the needed marketing material and is also responsible for product fulfillment, someone can become an affiliate marketer without even having their own website. I only mention this, because it relates to the speed with which someone can get started. If you are working online it is in your best interest to have a website.
As I mentioned early, the second step to consider when getting started online is to determine how you would like to position yourself in the online business world. Which of the business models is most appealing to you? To answer this question, a good place to begin is with the environment within which you want to live and work. So, ask yourself the following questions:
- Who are the people I want surrounding me?
- How do these people think, act and talk?
- What common interests do I have with them?
- What do I enjoy doing?
- What brings meaning to my life?
Give these questions a great deal of thought. Picture what your new working environment will look like in as much detail as possible. Then re-review the online business models to determine what looks like a good fit for you.

In its ongoing quest to turn its outdoor space into a fun place to hang, the High Museum of Art will install four large-scale sculptures in Sifly Plaza this summer, onto which kids are encouraged to climb.
The four wooden sculptures, painted in stripes and polka dots, will have stairs and slides and kid-sized openings, which send the message you don't hear at museums that often: "Please touch."
Called "Tiovivo," they were designed by whimsical Spanish artist Jaime Hayon, born in Madrid in 1974. In 2015, the High acquired Hayon's "The Green Chicken" rocking chair for its decorative arts and design collection. "Tiovivo" is Hayon's first major commission in the United States, and will be displayed June 3 through Nov. 27.
The site-specific installation continues a multiyear effort to encourage visitors to the High to have fun. This began in 2014 with "Mi Casa, Your Casa," an installation of 36 three-dimensional, frames, shaped like houses, installed in a large grid on the piazza. Visitors could relax in hammocks and swings hung from those sturdy frames.
Last year the High installed "Los Trompos" ("The Spinning Tops") -- more than 30 functional tops that served as mini-merry-go-rounds for patrons. Both installations were created by Mexican designers Héctor Esrawe and Ignacio Cadena, and were enjoyed by nearly 250,000 visitors.
On June 10 the High will celebrate "Tiovivo" with an evening party, and plans regular Friday night activities in the piazza during the period when the sculptures are on display.
The piazza installations were sponsored by a grant from the Lettie Pate Evans Foundation.

Filters are becoming a thing of the past but for a landscape photographer they are one of his best tools. I am a photographer that started in the film era where there was no "Chimping" or "Photoshop" where things can be corrected after the fact. You had to get it as right as you could "In Camera" . Most filters nowadays can be duplicated in some sort of Editing Programs like Photoshop and Lightroom. The problem here is the more that you do in post production the more that the image is damaged. My goal is to get it as good as I can "In Camera" and then take it to Photoshop or Lightroom to do final touch up. I consider this to be the best way to get good photographs.
There are all shapes and sizes of filters. They come in round,square,screw mount and filter holder systems. Filters help the photographer let you see what he sees. When unwanted light like in a sunrise or sunset I used a graduated neutral density filter to tone down the brighter part of the frame so I could pick up some detail in the foreground. With out the filter you get the foreground under exposed and the background over exposed so we use filters to trick the camera. There are all types of filters I mentioned a neutral density filter but there are many others from polarizers , UV filters, Colored Filters. The main filters I use are Neutral density filters that darken all or parts of the photo without changing the color. There are different types of neutral density filters , Plain, Graduated,Soft graduated and hard graduated filters. These filters help you take photo's when the light is very difficult to get the correct exposure like sunrises and sunsets. They can also bring out detail in flat light. The sunset below was taken with a graduated Neutral Density filter attached to tone down the bright sky and bring out detail in the foreground. Polarizers are the other type of filters I use. Polarizers are like sunglasses for your lens. When you put on a pair of sunglasses notice how the grass,sky and things just pop the same thing happens with this filter. It will take the glair off of water and shiny things. They will also enhance the sky making it bluer that you normally see it. The polarizer is the only filter that cannot be duplicated in post production.
I use two different styles of filters Screw on filters and ones that require filter holders. My main filter system is made by Lee Filters. I use their filter holder and filters . This type of filters can be very expensive but its because they are hand made. Here is a link to a youtube video of the Lee Filter Factory http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMu_m203YaY its very cool to see how they are made. Filters can enhance your photos if you give them a chance.
Keep Shooting!!!
