[Instructions on Viewing the QTVR Movie]
Highlights from this Movie
Artiodactyls are even-toed ungulates (hoofed animals), in which the weight is carried between two center toes. They are also herbivores (plant eaters).
Ruminants and Their Stomachs
The common deer (Odocoileus) had its origin in North America. A number of living offshoots remain in South America.
The family Bovidae (cattle, antelopes, goats, etc.) bear simple unbranched horns (usually in both sexes, but in a number of antelopes, only in the male) of bone covered by a permanent horny sheath. By far the largest living group of artiodactyls, the bovidae appeared rather late, in the Miocene (about 5 to 25 million years ago) of Eurasia. Their greatest development was in the Pleistocene (about 2 million years ago) of southern Asia and Africa. Only a few cold-hardy forms reached North America , and none reached South America.
A large group of fossil and living "Antelopes" is represented by the sable antelope, oryx, hartebeest, and gnus. Most are now African, a few Asian. Very closely related to the true cattle are large African "Antelopes" such as the Kudu and eland, and certain Asiatic forms.
The most widespread ruminants today are the true cattle of various wild and domestic types. Cattle, true buffalo and bison arose in the Pleistocene from large cow-like antelopes of the Old World (Europe, Asia, and Africa). Man has found them widely useful and has selectively bred, from primitive types, cattle specialized for particular purposes.
North America in the Pleistocene (about 2 million years ago) had numerous bison, derived from Old World immigrant stock and including types now extinct. Some were of gigantic proportions. These animals were a principal source of food for humans. Once they were domesticated, they gave humans a mode of transportation. They could be trained to till the ground for crops. They gave milk, provided hides for clothing, and fuel for fire. In some cultures they were possessions of prestige, had sacred significance and were the basis of myth and legend.
Camels & Llamas
Their feet are different from other artiodactyls', having two spreading toes nearly flat on the ground, small nails instead of hoofs, and a heavy pad beneath the toes. The reduction of toes and fusion of leg bones are typically artiodactyl. As typical camels evolved, they grew larger; the toes spread, hoofs were reduced, and the metacarpals and metatarsals (the bones between the ankles and toes) became fully fused into cannon bones.
Camelops, a highly evolved large camel, lived in our Southwest until rather recent times. Its teeth had been reduced in number and adapted for browsing. The cause of its extinction is unknown.
One or Two Humps?
The Bactrian camel has two humps on its back. Most Bactrian camels live in the mountain deserts of Asia. Nomadic people depend on domesticated Bactrians for wool, meat, and milk. They are also used for carrying loads and for riding. Wild Bactrian camels are still found in remote areas, but their numbers are dwindling.
The Dromedary camel has one hump. The Dromedary is important to nomadic tribes in the deserts of northern Africa, the Middle East, and India.
There are four species of South American camel, also called lamoids. They are smaller than the camels of the Old World, and do not have humps on their backs. The llama is a domesticated South American camel, which has been bred for use as a pack animal.

Resurgent Frieri seals win to cap terrific trip
MILWAUKEE -- Ernesto Frieri started the at-bat with five consecutive mid-90s four-seam fastballs, and Jonathan Lucroy didn't go anywhere. Then Frieri decided he'd mix it up. He'd come with the slider, get him off balance and finally retire the Brewers' catcher for the second out of a bases-loaded situation in the eighth.
But Lucroy fouled that one off, and Frieri realized that he was in for the battle of his life.View Full Game Coverage
MILWAUKEE -- Ernesto Frieri started the at-bat with five consecutive mid-90s four-seam fastballs, and Jonathan Lucroy didn't go anywhere. Then Frieri decided he'd mix it up. He'd come with the slider, get him off balance and finally retire the Brewers' catcher for the second out of a bases-loaded situation in the eighth.
But Lucroy fouled that one off, and Frieri realized that he was in for the battle of his life.View Full Game Coverage
"He just made contact," Frieri said. "I don't know how he did it, but he did. He's great. He's a really, really, really good hitter."
The at-bat lasted 12 pitches -- including two hard-hit balls that were inches shy of landing fair and changing the complexion of Sunday's series finale -- and ended on a Frieri strikeout, the Angels' closer finally retiring Lucroy swinging on a 95-mph fastball that was a tad outside.
With his next 14 pitches, Frieri recorded four more outs, finished off a five-out save and sealed the Angels' eighth win of their nine-game road trip, the last being a come-from-behind 5-3 effort at Miller Park.
Afterwards, Frieri could laugh about perhaps the toughest encounter of his career.
"When you're out there, you don't think about it -- you're just trying to do your job and help the team," Frieri said, bags of ice sitting on his right elbow and shoulder. "But yeah, honestly, after I got the last out, I was like, 'Oh man, I'm tired.' We played a really good game, and we deserved the win."
C.J. Wilson pitched six innings of three-run ball, Mike Trout finished a homer shy of his second cycle this season, J.B. Shuck drove in the winning run with a two-out, three-run double, and Frieri notched his sixth save of at least four outs this season.
The sweep at Miller Park came after the Angels took two of three at Tropicana Field, which followed a three-game sweep at Safeco Field. It marked the first time the Angels won three straight series since taking four in a row June 25 to July 7.
And though they're 63-72 and 15 1/2 games out of first place on Sept. 1, it's something to build on.
"Best one we've had all year," Wilson said of the three-city road trip. "With some of the guys we have here, obviously the majority of them are returning, so if we can just kind of go into the last month with some momentum like this, it'll be a good way to head into the offseason. Obviously, we started off poorly and haven't really played to our potential all year, but this has been a good showing the last couple of weeks."
The most obvious sign that things have gone the Angels' way lately came on the Shuck double.
Down two in the seventh, Hank Conger and Luis Jimenez led off with singles and Andrew Romine moved them over with a sacrifice bunt. Josh Hamilton then pinch-hit for Wilson and was intentionally walked by righty Rob Wooten.
Shuck's ensuing grounder rolled down the line, catapulted off first base, sailed into right field, caromed off the fence and bounced awkwardly, allowing all three runs to score.
"I was just hoping it stayed fair," Shuck said. "I saw it, didn't think he could get to it, and then I saw it hit the bag, and I was like, 'Aw man, hopefully it gets by him,' because I knew that was going to slow it up. It just worked out."
Two batters later, with Shuck on second and two outs, Trout -- who doubled in the first, tripled in the third and singled in the sixth -- was walked intentionally, robbing him of another chance at a cycle and surprisingly drawing boos from an opposing crowd of 29,733.
"You gotta play the game," Trout said. "But I wanted to hit, obviously."
The next batter, Kole Calhoun, muscled a ground-rule double into left-center field to give the Angels a two-run lead. Two innings later, the usually reliable Dane De La Rosa got into trouble. And so in the eighth, with the bases loaded, one out and the Angels clinging to a two-run lead, manager Mike Scioscia went to the guy he removed from the ninth-inning role just one month ago.
Due up was Lucroy, who entered 4-for-11 in this series, was batting .315 with runners in scoring position and ranked 31st in the Majors in pitches seen per plate appearance (4.01).
Pitch No. 1: Fastball, outside corner called strike.
Pitch No. 2: High fastball, fouled back.
Pitch No. 3: Low fastball, fouled to right field.
Pitch No. 4: High fastball for Ball 1.
Pitch No. 5: High fastball, fouled into the right-field seats, prompting a mound visit.
Pitch No. 6: Low slider, defensive swing to foul it off.
Pitch No. 7: High-and-outside fastball, fouled into the right-field seats, drawing hearty applause.
Pitch No. 8: Low-and-outside fastball, lined down the right-field line, foul by a couple inches, and -- with the speedy Jean Segura on first -- could've scored three if it stayed fair.
"That was going to be a triple," Frieri said. "Easy."
Pitch No. 9: Inside fastball, resulting in a hard grounder to third that stayed foul by about a foot.
Pitch No. 10: Slider, fouled towards the third-base side, drawing a standing ovation.
Pitch No. 11: Another slider, this one a hanger, fouled into the right-field seats.
Pitch No. 12: Fastball, 95 mph, a few inches off the plate. Lucroy comes up empty. Strikeout. Finally.
"Hey, it's the way the game is," Lucroy said. "That's baseball. Sometimes they fall, sometimes they don't. He didn't get me out; I got myself out. I swing at balls, and I missed a couple of hangers, so I got myself out, and I'm not too happy about it. But, hey, it is what it is, so you have to live with it."
However it happened, Frieri recorded the out, struck out the next three hitters and finished the game with a lazy flyout by Jeff Bianchi. It went for his 30th save and gave him 10 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings.
Less than four weeks ago, the 28-year-old right-hander went through a seven-outing stretch that saw him give up 12 runs in 4 2/3 innings and temporarily lose his job.
This is a different Frieri.
"My confidence came back," he said. "In the past, I was thinking so much, worrying about things in and out of baseball. But now, I'm going out there and having fun. I forgot about that. One month ago, I wasn't having fun. I was worried so much about some stupid things. But finally, I'm having fun, we're playing good baseball. It's good to come to the ballpark and see the team that we are right now."

I have been here for a while posting but haven't introduced myself yet. I have no dog of my own, but I have a niece bully called Gotti (I have been here long enough to know that name may raise some hackles here, but please don't be alarmed), she is about 8 months old I guess, I love her to bits and pieces, I will get a picture of her up as soon as possible, she is the best ever. There is also Tango, and Shae who are older and two super laid back easy going adult bulls. I have not yet become an ambassador but I would consider myself an advocate, as I spend every opportunity trying to educate people on the true nature of the Bully breeds, after spending the past nine months or so educating myself and putting my media driven fears to rest. I have connected myself with a local information group, (hug-a-bull, vancouver bc) and also try to help the dogs I know become ambassadors. This is a phenomenal breed and I am very proud to be associated with them, I look forward to the day I have a home that allows pets so that I can join the ranks as a foster or adoptive mom. I have a seven year old son who has learned along with me, the lessons of open-mindedness, compassion, possibility (along with some thick skin). We have learned to investigate not just take the first word we hear on something, and we have been blessed with the chance to befriend, support and love the bully breeds.
I might as well introduce myself

DETROIT (AP) — What role Detroit's elected leaders will play in the city's fiscal crisis is now up to a Washington, D.C., lawyer appointed by the governor to turn things around.
Detroit's emergency manager, Kevyn Orr, says he wants to work with the City Council and the mayor, though many in Detroit see the state takeover as stripping away the voice of the people to have their elected leaders lead.
"I'd like to have full partnership with the council and their staffs," said Orr, a 1983 University of Michigan Law School graduate who resigned from the international Jones Day law firm to take the emergency manager job. Orr was the turnaround expert who represented Chrysler during its successful restructuring.
"I don't see it as being a punishment in terms of if you don't help me things are going to happen," he said Thursday in Detroit. "I will say this ... everything is on the table. But it's going to be driven by the data and by the need, not by necessarily punitive behavior."
Gov. Rick Snyder appointed Orr to the job on Thursday, making Detroit the largest city in the country to fall under state oversight. Orr starts work on March 25, taking over the finances of a city with a budget deficit of more than $300 million and long-term debt of more than $14 billion.
Mayor Dave Bing has been frustrated in his efforts to restructure the city's finances by labor conflicts with municipal unions and head-butting with the council. The city has been making ends meet with the help of bond money held in a state escrow account. The city has also instituted mandatory unpaid days off for many city workers.
The emergency manager will have much greater control over spending. Michigan law gives them the ability to singlehandedly renegotiate labor contracts, sell off assets and even suspend elected officials' salaries.
That means that although Orr can't yank elected leaders from office, he does have say-so over their pay and budgets — a power other emergency managers have used.
"They don't need the same budgets. The staff is going to get cut first," said Dr. Carla Scott, a Detroit pediatrician who served two terms on the Detroit School Board.
Scott was on the school board in 2009 when then-Gov. Jennifer Granholm appointed Robert Bobb as the district's emergency financial manager. Board members only received $30 per meeting stipends. Bobb didn't allow them to have input in anything tied to district finances "because he controlled all the money," said Scott.
"A lot of the decisions the board made were tied to money," she said. "Some people took the attitude 'we're here; let's try to make it work.' He was very clear that he wasn't really willing to work with the board."
Snyder in 2011 appointed a replacement for Bobb. The district is one of three in Michigan under state control.
Detroit joins Pontiac, Ecorse, Benton Harbor, Allen Park and Flint as other Michigan cities with emergency managers.
Flint's council saw its compensation package drop from about $25,000 to $7,000 under an emergency manager.
"We met once a month with them," said Michael Brown, current city administrator and emergency manager for nearly a year beginning in late 2011. "They didn't function as a body that passed ordinances or had a legal function. They were still responding to constituent services and bringing those things to us."
Orr has 18 months to get the job done in Detroit. He said Thursday that the task and timeline are doable.
Bing has pledged support from his administration and referred to Orr's presence as a "partnership."
Louis Schimmel, appointed by Snyder in 2011 as emergency manager of Pontiac, north of Detroit, said Orr has to be clear on who the boss will be, which could mean ignoring Detroit's elected leadership.
"The mayor and City Council in Detroit will have to be invited to be part of the solution, and if they're not invited to be part of the solution they should be put aside," Schimmel said.
Councilman Andre Spivey said in a statement that he is "willing to work together" with Orr, Bing and Snyder.
"As a council, we fought until the very end in hopes that democracy would prevail," Spivey said. "The reality is a financial emergency does exist and the time has come for all parties to unite and embrace this new concept of governance in order to properly correct many of the financial wrongs that have plagued this city for decades on end."
Regardless, Schimmel said, changes are coming.
"You have a city that's on the edge of the cliff and you need to put together a really solid team that replaces what's there," he said.

Ok I have one of my PIX boxes dropping logs to a Symantec SIM box which we are doing an eval on.
While scanning through what the SIM presented to me I came across the following log entry which is a bit of a head scratcher:
IP address 0.1.0.4 has directed a denial of service exploit event at 0.1.0.4.
I did some quick googling on that IP address and found RFC 3330, and a few references to people seeing this exact same IP. One of them was in a snort log, the other "big" hit was from someone seeing this IP assigned to a Logitech webcam.
Anyone seen this before? Any ideas what it could be about?

i love this idea! I had a belt on hand so i promptly cut it up & ran to the store for the snaps. Here is my problem- i have never done snaps & this is my first time- so far it's a major fail for me. I can't get the snap to stay in the belting! What am i doing wrong- the snap directions don't trouble shoot for me, lol!ReplyDelete
Moss Fam - The snaps can be tricky. Make sure you cut a big enough hole through the fabric for the middle part to come through. Then, beyond that, it's a matter of pounding it inn really hard. It took my a few tries. Also, make sure you're matching up the correct parts. They look really similiar. Hope that helps!ReplyDelete

Strand Theater
West Georgia Street & Granville Street,
2 people favorited this theater
Opened on August 16, 1920 as the Allen Theater, one of the first super deluxe movie houses in Canada. It was promoted as the finest and modern theaters in the country. It cost $300,000 to build and in just six months. After only just one year, this grand theater went bankrupt and was purchased for a nickel on the dollar.
At one point in 1932, the theater went dark for a year due to the depression. It had many modern amenities including a built-in cigarette lighters and boasted sculptures by Charles Marega.
On March 6, 1958 it featured the movie "Windjammer", presented in Cinemiracle. Closed in 1973, there was much opposition to the Vancouver Centre project at the time because it mean't the destruction to the Strand Theatre, The Birks Building and the loss of an iconic restaurant called Scott's Cafe. The developers would not budge on the design and demolition came quickly in 1973. The Birks Building clock was restored and relocated to a new location and a White Spot Restaurant, which was part of the Vancouver Centre, is located where the Strand Theatre once stood.
Recent comments (view all 6 comments)
An article titled "Some Problems in Theatre Construction" in the July, 1921, issue of the Canadian journal Construction is illustrated by photos of the Allen Theatre in Vancouver. The facade, entrance, foyer, mezzanine, balcony, and auditorium are all depicted. Judging from the photos, I'd consider the architectural style to be predominantly Adamesque rather than Greek Revival.
The article is available online from the Internet Archive (for those whose browsers might not be compatible with that format, you can select other formats from this page.) Navigating the Internet Archive's online reader can be tricky, until you get used to it, which is why I usually link to the easier-to-use Google Books when they both have the item available, even though Internet Archive provides far better page scans.

Does anyone know the make of organ
The (now demolished) White Spot was on the 500 block of W. Georgia, not the site of the Strand.
That White Spot was once "Scott's Cafe" into the early '80s
Sorry but Scott's Cafe was located at 722 Granville street (Reference: Vancouver Public Library) next to Birks Jewellers. And the White Spot took up a portion of the site on Georgia Street where the Strand theatre originally was. I enjoyed several films at the Strand and I became engaged in Scott's. Then we went next door to Birks to purchase my engagement ring. Hope this helps.

This is such a relief. I have diverticulosis. If you're not familiar with it, I have polyps along my intestine and it sometimes causes very
painful cramping, and it especially gets worse mid-pregnancy (for me).
It's really, really, bad, agonizing pain during cramping and it usually
lasts about an hour.
Well, for the past week, I've had it about 5 times. I've done both the
peace cue and other times turned off my lightswitch, and it worked! I
am so happy about this, it's such a difficult thing to deal with. This
morning I was in the grocery store with my husband and I felt it coming on, and the peace cue worked for me.
Thank you Hypnobabies!!!

I liked Guts because it's interesting and kind of gross. My favorite part was when they showed inside the mouth because it is interesting and it looks cool. This book has photographs. I like that because it shows what things really look like.
I would recommend this book to people who like non-fiction books and people who like gross books, like my brother.

Ivan Brandon reveals details of Offset, a 'giant, amorphous experiment'
After quietly announcing Offset Comics in July, Viking and NYC Mech writer Ivan Brandon further introduced the project at New York Comic Con, describing it to The Associated Press as a "giant, amorphous experiment" that approaches storytelling from a "100 percent creative declination." That doesn't exactly clear up the mystery, does it?
"I'm calling Offset a lab," he tells Comics Alliance. "And what that means to me, anyway, is that it's a series of experiments intended to try completely new routes in terms of story and in terms of who's entertained by it. Comics has been for all of my life and most of its life defined by some very specific logistical parameters: pages are 6.875 inches by 10.437 inches based on bulk paper costs. Margins and trims are determined by the potential for printer error. Comics are expressed in eight-page increments, and so on. Offset is among other things an attempt to discard logistical motivation and be 100% creatively motivated. Not worrying what markets will support a thing or what demographic it speaks to or how economical anything is. The first experiment people will see from us is, obviously, a form of comics."
The first three Offset projects are Brandon and Eric Canete's Destroyer, exploring what happens after the end of the world, Daniel Krall's Doublecross, about a man who held the shadows at bay until the shadows made him a better offer, and Brandon, Chuck BB and Ryan Browne's Deathface, an homage to 1980s action heroes.

Description: Mastersmith Bill Burke's chef's knives are among the highest performing cutlery found anywhere. His heat treatment technique, combined with his choice of steel, results in edge holding that is far beyond other knives. This is a knife that you won't want to put down.
This high performance sujihiki is well suited for slicing and portioning meats and fish due to the slender, long blade. Extremely sharp, it is also well suited to preparing sushi and sashimi.
The blade was hand forged in a technique known as hon warikomi. This modification of san mai (three layers) forges stainless steel to the sides of a carbon steel blade. The result is the exceptional edge holding of carbon steel with significantly easier care. The transition line between stainless steel and carbon steel is exceptionally dramatic.
Like his hunting knives, this chef's knife was pre-tested for edge flex and cutting ability before assembly. The heat treatment followed the formulas developed by Mastersmith Ed Fowler in conjunction with Bill and has been proven to create some of the sharpest and most long lasting edges found anywhere.The mokume gane bolster was welded to the blade for strength and durability. The elegant damascene lines in the mokume gane were created by forging multiple layers of copper and nickel. The handle is formed from extremely rare high Arctic musk ox horn. Musk ox horn is one of the most rare and majestic handle materials used in the knife world. The highly polished musk ox has a unique grain structure that immediately grabs the eye. The swirling tone in the musk ox is nicely complemented by the damascene lines in the mokume. The handle is nicely carved to swell toward the front, move into a slimmer waist and finally to swell again at the beak. The knife has perfect balance and feels exceptional in the hand.

Lolo Jones with Team USA Basketball (Photos)
Olympic Hurdler Lolo Jones tweeted some pictures with the guys from Team USA Basketball. The below picture features Anthony Davis, the lone rookie on the squad.
If you were to show this picture to 100 people not familiar with either of them and asked "One of these people is a virgin, which one?" How many people would guess Lolo? Is one being too generous? Of course, I am assuming Anthony Davis has cashed in on the UK groupies like Jesus Shuttlesworth.
She also sent out this picture with LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Chris Paul. Check out the arms on Lolo. She looks like a miniature Serge Ibaka.
And one final picture of Tyson Chandler laying down in a severely undersized bed.
Ok, so run this by me again @tysonchandler, why wont the men's basketball team sleep in the olympic village? http://t.co/dqMH5QaK

Wells Fargo, BofA accused of violating mortgage accord
ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York's attorney general says Wells Fargo and Bank of American have violated the terms of last year's national mortgage settlement by failing hundreds of times to process refinancing requests promptly.
Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has notified the national monitoring committee established to enforce the five-bank agreement, citing complaints of 210 prompt-processing violations by Wells Fargo and 129 by Bank of America.
If the committee defers taking action, Schneiderman says he will sue for compliance.
Under the settlement, the banks are required to respond to mortgage modification requests within 30 days.
Schneiderman says delays put homeowners further into debt, pushing them closer to foreclosure.
Wells Fargo declined to immediately comment.
Bank of America did not immediately reply to a request for comment Monday.

Brown talks terrorism, immigration during Londonderry Rotary eventBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
August 20. 2014 8:27PM
LONDONDERRY — During an appearance in Londonderry Wednesday, U.S. Senate candidate Scott Brown contemplated what would happen if Capitol Hill was run like the local Rotary Club.
"Your mission is one of friendship, of community service," Brown told the small crowd of Rotarians seated in the audience. "But that's not the case in (Washington) D.C. They're not friends, they're not working together."
Brown, who attended the early morning breakfast with his wife, Gail Huff, mingled with about 25 local business owners and town officials before stepping up to the podium.
He began his speech on a solemn note, inviting his audience to join him in a brief moment of silence for slain New Hampshire journalist James Foley.
Later, the former Massachusetts senator criticized the Islamic militant group believed responsible for Foley's violent death, as well as the current state of foreign policies.
"The goal of ISIS is to take over a country, of the world," Brown said. "Right now, I feel like the whole world is on fire."
"Our allies don't trust us and our foes don't fear or respect us," he continued. "And our president is off playing golf."
Asked about his stance on illegal immigration, Brown didn't mince words.
"We have to secure the borders once and for all," he said. "When it comes to children, of course we need to treat them with compassion. We need to work with some of these countries, establish more embassies, and really get to the root of what's going on."
Other topics tackled included Obamacare, taxes, energy costs and his potential Democratic opponent, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
"As things go forward, things will get pretty intense," he said of the current political climate. "I will never say anything that's mean spirited when it comes to (Shaheen). But I will certainly discuss both of our voting records."
Some of the Rotarians offered up some thoughts on their most pressing issues.
Longtime Londonderry resident Reed Clark said he fears for his grandchildren's futures, particularly when it comes to the dangers presented by religious extremist groups.
"I'm very worried they may take the brunt of ISIS," Clark said. "I'm worried about our foreign policy."
"The only way to address what's happening now is with your votes," Brown told him.
George Brooks III of Brooks Real Estate Services in Londonderry said he's concerned about the challenges posed by increased immigration, particularly in the nearby city of Manchester.
"It's something you worry about when you hear that there are over 60 languages being spoken in some of the schools," Brooks said.

Think back to the first time you saw a multi-function display (MFD) screen in a cockpit. For me, it was around 1987, when I saw a McDonnell-Douglas F-15E Strike Eagle on static display at an air show. The high-tech fighter had a head-up display and thermal imaging system, too. That was all exceptionally impressive to me, a lowly student pilot with just a few hours in a Robinson R22. It might have been a couple of years after that before I saw a "TV screen" in anything that was not a military aircraft.
Most avionics historians, however, cite 1982 as the point in time when glass cockpits made the jump from military and space applications to commercial aircraft. And after relatively inexpensive microprocessors arrived on the scene in the late 1990s, even two-seater piston airplanes had GPS with colorful, digital images to help aviators find their way.
But have you ever noticed that cockpit technology – at least the really cutting-edge stuff – commonly found aboard corporate airplanes seems to take much longer to reach the rotorcraft world?
Many believed that helicopter users represented such a small slice of the aviation pie, glass avionics for rotorcraft didn't warrant a lot of research and development. After all, it was designed for high-speed, high-altitude, cross-country travel in jets and turboprops. Helicopters, on the other hand, were these slow, utilitarian things used for short hops close to the ground.
Well, it's a new day! The sophisticated avionics suites once reserved for airliners and top-of-the-line corporate jets are now standard fare aboard a wide range of helicopters. You can even get an after-market, digital display suite for a Robinson R22!
In an effort to prove that the newest and most exciting technology is making its way to the helicopter community, Morristown, N.J.-based Honeywell International invited Rotor & Wing to come fly one of its latest helicopter avionics prototypes. The engineers call it the "Smart View System" – SVS, for short.
SVS is what the tech world refers to as "synthetic" technology. It starts by taking data on the locations of streets, waterways, power lines, terrain and buildings, and uses the data to produce a colorful, digitized, moving-map depicting of that information. (That's the "synthetic" part.) But Honeywell's system designers went one step further by precisely superimposing an infrared (IR) image over that digital map. The result is an MFD image that displays the environment ahead of the aircraft based upon what mapping data says ought to be there, and what the thermal imager actually finds there. For example, a data-driven rendering of a river will show a blue band weaving through a city. But since the information on its shape is just an average that cannot show how its dimensions have changed with the tides, the image may not accurately represent its true appearance at any given time. The IR camera mounted under the nose of the aircraft, however, is delivering a thermal look-see that will show the waterway's actual dimensions at that exact moment. That marrying of data and IR information is what Honeywell calls a "Combined Visual System," or CVS.
CVS was actually certified for fixed-wing aircraft several years ago, and has since been hailed as a valuable tool, particularly at night when uncharted towers can pop up out of nowhere, and deer can be found strolling onto a runway just as a pilot is about to land.
"We've been doing research and development work with helicopter SVS for about seven years," said Dr. Trish Ververs, Honeywell's crew interface and platform systems research scientist. "But you can't just take this technology, throw it into helicopters and expect it to work."
The reason for the delay between the FAA's acceptance of the equipment aboard airplanes and its approval for use in helicopters is a simple matter of aerodynamics: Helicopters don't move like airplanes.
The data-generated and IR images presented to the pilot on the cockpit's MFD must show what's in the aircraft's flight path. That's a snap for an airplane, since with few exceptions its nose is pointed in the same direction that it's going. But in order to meet the tough standards required for FAA Part 29 (airworthiness standards for transport category aircraft) approval, engineers have to prove that the data and thermal images provided by the CVS will show what's in the direction of flight, even when the nose of the helicopter is, let's say, pitched up 10 degrees while at a steep angle of descent. Honeywell has cracked the code for doing that in rotorcraft, and as of this writing, is completing the tests needed to get it certified.
I was taken to Honeywell's corporate flight line at Morristown Municipal Airport (MMU), and over to the company-owned AgustaWestland AW139. From all outward appearances, N139H was like any other AW139, except for a Astronics Max-Viz 1500 IR camera in an enclosure mounted under its starboard chin.
Honeywell's lead helicopter pilot, Marc Lajeunesse, parked me in the left seat and he took the right. After a routine startup, he set my left MFD to display the CVS system, and the right one to show a "god's-eye view" integrated navigation screen. The three remaining screens – one center and two in front of him – were the standard flight instrument, system monitoring and navigation displays found on Honeywell's Primus Epic system.
Once airborne and tracking through New Jersey towards the southern tip of Staten Island, the SVS – that's the data-only map – provided me with a digital, out-the-front view of the roads, hills, power lines and towers in my path, along with the usual flight information, such as airspeed, altitude and heading. Located near the center of the screen was a small, green circle with one line coming out of the top and one on each side. Fighter pilots will recognize it as the flight path vector (PFV), which uses the aircraft's pitch, roll and power to show where the aircraft will go if left in that profile. So, had I reduced power and begun a descent, the PFV would have slipped off the horizon, and gradually moved towards to the bottom of the screen to indicate where we would end up. Had I banked left, it would have moved left, and so on.
Honeywell's engineers also drew a white "zero pitch" line across the screen. Any feature that protrudes above this line is at an elevation that will eventually put you in harm's way if you maintain that flight profile.
As we reached Lower Bay near Staten Island and turned north towards the Varrazano Narrows Bridge, Lajeunesse asked me to compare what I saw of the western shoreline through my window to what I saw on the SVS. As with most systems, the digital image was just a rough calculation of where the water stopped and land began.
"Now, look at this," said Lajeunesse, as he switched the screen to CVS mode – the one that uses the IR camera.
Instantly, a transparent IR overlay centered itself on the screen, and used the heat signatures of all that lay in front us to show what was actually there. The moving, digital image was now enhanced with black, white and grey outlines of every feature, from private piers jutting out from the shore, to small boats headed for New York Harbor.
"Now, what if it was dark and you had to make an emergency landing?" Lajeunesse asked. I was way ahead of him. The shoreline was now crisp and precise, and not just a casual, featureless curve. If it had been nighttime, I would have been able to see exactly where I could have made an emergency landing without getting wet, or ditched without being split in half by a cargo ship.
Farther up the river, as Lower Manhattan was coming into view, all of the bells and whistles of CVS came into play. As the IR image gave me details of small boats, buildings, and even other aircraft, the enhanced ground proximity warning system (EGPWS) began identifying potential obstacles.
The EGPWS finds obstructions, and then does a split-second collision evaluation. If it decides that your helicopter is lined up to hit something – in our case, the skyscrapers near Battery Park – the screen will outline the structures in yellow to indicate that at your current speed and trajectory you are 30 seconds from hitting it. If you do not alter your course, altitude or speed to avoid it, the color will change to red, letting you know that you are now 20 seconds from an unfortunate encounter. That's good news when visibility poor.
After flying up the Hudson River to the George Washington Memorial Bridge, then reversing course to run the New Jersey shoreline towards Hoboken, it was time to see what SVS and CVS had to offer when flying approaches.
Lajeunesse received approval to shoot a visual to Runway 5 back at Morristown. Once lined up 4 nm out, I compared the view out the window with what the synthetic information was telling me.
Even from as far out as the final approach fix, the SVS drew a blue, diamond-shaped target on the end of Runway 5. Without the IR image on, I was still presented with a colorful, GPS-like display of the airport environment. With the CVS up, the screen showed me IR images of houses, roads, automobiles, and distant towers. Either way, all I had to do was adopt and hold an attitude and airspeed that would put that green PFV circle inside of the diamond, and that's exactly where I would end up. It's redundant when the sun is up and VFR conditions prevail. But what if it was dark, and the landing area was an unimproved hole in the trees, unlit heliport, or remote medevac scene that the pilot was not familiar with? The crew would be able to get an excellent look at almost every hazard before committing to a landing, plus be able to judge their descent path above featureless terrain.
Before calling it a day, Lajeunesse asked the tower if we could have Runway 13/31 for a little while. Once approved, we taxied to the approach end of 13 so I could put the CVS to one last test.
You see, synthetic vision has been aboard commercial planes for over 10 years. And while jets are quite fast machines, they're only swift going forward. Helicopters, as we all know and love, move forward, backward, sideways, and can spin on their yaw axis at pretty impressive rates. Consequently, digital and IR images can be useless if they cannot refresh themselves quickly enough to keep up with the aircraft.

So, while on the closed runway, I asked Lajeunesse to put the AW139 in an in-ground-effect hover, and stomp in some pedal. As he did, my eyes were glued to the display. Even at a pretty robust yaw rate, both the digital data image and the IR view kept up with us. The results were the same when he executed an exaggerated quick stop.
That was it for me, so we parked the ship back at the company hangar.
Make no mistake about it; Honeywell's SVS/CVS synthetic avionics gear seems to have made the transition from the fixed-wing world to the whirly-world. It manages to keep its camera pointed where it ought to be, gives the pilot a ton of useful information, and can be turned off and on as needed. It takes the color, database-driven map many of us have grown to rely on, and make it even more useful by adding a sharp, IR overlay to the screen. Once the FAA certifies it – and I suspect that it will – it should find lots of fans.
Ververs still calls the helicopter version of all of this a "work in progress." Many of these features, "we would expect to transition into the eventual product," she reported. "But some of them may not."

How to Use the Images Illustration 1
Illustration 1
Photo 2: Confederate Dead, Oct. 4, 1862.
Questions for Photo 2
1. Review Reading 3. How did Confederate losses in the Battle of Corinth compare with Union losses? Armies attacking fortified positions usually lost many more men than those defending them. Why do you think that would be the case?
2. This photo shows the Confederates who died attacking Battery Robinett, after their bodies had been collected for burial. If you look carefully, you may be able to see the names that have been scratched on the photographic plate to identify some of the bodies. Who do you think might have done that and why?
3. The Civil War was the first major conflict to be recorded in photographs. Although photographic images had to be converted to lithographs to be printed in newspapers, this was the first time that people not directly involved in the conflict could see unromanticized views of what war was like. Views like this, however, were rarely published. Why do you think that was the case?
* The photo on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Photo 2, but be aware that the file will take as much as 35 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

With cotton growers continually trying to cut their margins, it's important for pest control advisers and consultants to find ways to increase their value to the grower. One way they can do this is by becoming an expert on pest management issues.
This is just one reason why the Central Coast Cotton Conference will begin this year by including an expanded session on a pest management issue. For 2005, the topic is weed management.
Rick Leonard, a technical sales rep for Bayer CropScience believes the addition of the pest management session to the conference will be a great benefit for PCAs and consultants, and in turn – the grower.
"A PCA can generate a lot of value being an expert or a resource for weed identification and control methods," Leonard said. "Being able to identify seedling grasses and broadleafs is a tremendous value to the grower and I think the weed management session will help with that."
In addition to the expanded pest management session, the conference will also include an expanded session on irrigation management and a course on laws and regulations. The meeting will continue to include an overview of cotton production techniques, but also highlight two new topics each year. One will focus on a production issue and the other a pest management issue.
According to conference organizers, the changes are part of ongoing efforts to make the conference an invaluable tool for PCAs, consultants, and growers; and to give them a reason to come back year-after-year.
Popular session
"The cotton production review is a very popular session and will continue to be an important component of the conference," said conference education director Lowell Zelinski. "Each year we try to make the conference a little better. Last year we did so by adding the special session and more speakers and this year we're doing it by expanding sessions on topics."
This year's weed management session will be taught by Tulare County Farm Advisor, Steve Wright. Wright covers cotton, small grains and weed control for Tulare and Kings County. He has been with the U.C. Extension service for 25 years, taught weed management courses at California State University, Fresno and is active in weed science societies.
In keeping with the conferences' overall goal of focusing on practical, hands-on knowledge, Wright plans for his session to take PCAs back to the root of the problem.
"So many things have changed out there – there's more dairy manure, more growers leasing from dairies, less crop rotation and other things – we're starting to see things happening that are putting PCAs into a different realm," Wright said. "We've sort of gotten away from the fundamentals of weed management, which are leading to some serious problems. For this session, I want to bring it back to the fundamentals because weed control is the foundation of the whole system and I think sometimes people forget that."
The weed management session will include weed identification, herbicide modes of action, application techniques, and resistance management, along with new advances in biotechnology and new herbicide tolerant cottons.
Zelinski will conduct the expanded irrigation segment.
Laws, regulations
The laws and regulations session will address an increasingly important topic in agriculture today: respiratory protection. Brian Settlemire, vice president of Guardian Safety Services of Bakersfield will conduct two one-hour sessions that will give PCAs and certified agronomists one hour of continuing education credit. The session will cover issues such as laws governing the use of respirators and how and when to use them.
The 2005 special session is: "Changing Tides: How to stay afloat in the changing California cotton industry." The topic will be an overview of what's currently happening in the California cotton industry and how it affects those working in it. It will be presented by a panel of industry experts via a facilitated discussion, and will also include a grower panel.
The 2005 conference will be held Nov. 16-18 at the Cliffs Resort in Shell Beach, Calif. For more information, visit www.cottonconference.com or contact Becky Zelinski at (805) 434-0113.

One week after violence swept across much of the Middle East over a YouTube video extremists blamed on the United States, there were only subdued demonstrations against France over cartoons published in a French magazine insulting the Prophet Muhammad.
In Lebanon, thousands of Sunni Muslims and Shiite Muslim supporters of Hezbollah held a peaceful protest against anti-Islam movements. In Egypt,where thousands set off the worldwide protests by stomring the U.S. Embassy compound Sept. 11, scores of protesters, outnumbered by the police, gathered at the French embassy in Giza Friday and demanded an international law criminalizing insulting religions and prophets.
In Alexandria, the demonstrators in front of the French consulate could be counted in the dozens, though they did, according to Egyptian state radio, burn a French flag.
In Cairo, protesters wearing beards of ultra conservative Islamists and dressed in white robs raised black Islamic flags as they marched toward the French embassy. Police blocked roads leading to the building.
"Insulting the prophet is a red line. Religions should be respected," said Attef Taj el Din, 40, a graphic designer, while carrying a bannerthat read: "A question to all rational people: Why insult the prophet? What about talking about the Jews holocaust? Is it a red line?"
But unlike last week's protests, in which went on for days and left dozens injured, the crowds Friday dispersed in a few hours. Bynightfall, the police appeared bored sitting on the curb awaiting crowds that never appeared.
Some of those who did arrive seemed to be gathering in protest of the United States, not France.
"Who are the ones who started World War I, World War II and killed the American Indians? Who are the radicals? Us or the crusaders?" askedWalid Mahrous, 30, a ceramic worker, offering an odd take on history.
Unlike last week, no group called for Friday's protests. The Muslim Brotherhood, which had urged last week's protest beforeattempting to cancel it at the last minute, issued a statement Wednesday strongly condemning the caricatures published in the Frenchmagazine Charlie Heddo. But the group did not urge supporters to take the streets.
"Are there hidden hands manipulating the West to provoke Arab and Muslim peoples who have just begun winning their freedoms fromcorrupt, authoritarian regimes?" the Brotherhood asked in a statement.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Playing a revenge minded team, UCSB fell to No. 12 Hawai'i in a five-set finish, as the Rainbow Wahine evened the season series in the Thunderdome on Saturday night. With final scores of 22-25, 25-15, 23-25, 25-22, and 15-12, the match was reminiscent of how competitive the teams were in the previous time they faced off in Honolulu a month ago.
The loss ends UCSB's eight-match winning streak and sets it record at 13-9 overall and 8-2 in Big West play. Hawai'i picked up its second win of the weekend and moves to 20-4 on the season and 9-3 in conference.
The Gauchos maintain their second-place status in the Big West standings, as Cal State Northridge still sits in the top spot at 11-1. Hawai'i remains third in the league as they trail UCSB by one match.
Katey Thompson lead the Gaucho offense with 12 kills against the Rainbow Wahine, and also held her own at the net with four blocks assist and a solo block.
Just behind the senior in the kills category was Ali Barbeau and Ali Spindt who finished with 11 and 10 kills, respectively.
Spindt also added a career-high 19 digs to her final stats, as she has now recorded her ninth double-double of her freshman campaign.
On defense, the Gauchos were again led by Leah Sully who tied a season-high with 27 digs.
The match hosted a battle at the net, as the Gauchos edged the Rainbow Wahine in total blocks 20 to 15. UCSB set a season-best of 32 block assists, which beat its previous high mark of 30 that it garnered against Hawai'i in their previous matchup.
Starting in the first set, the Gauchos fell behind early 9-4, but quickly made their way back into contention with an 8-2 run.
Allie Sullberg registered one of her six kills of the night to trigger the scoring spree. Jaylen Villanueva and Spindt followed their middle blocker with back-to-back kills.
Later on, Villanueva found another kill to tie the set at 11, setting the stage for Phoebe Grunt who put UCSB ahead with her first kill of the match.
From that point, Santa Barbara never gave up its lead and reached set point at 24-20. Hawai'i fired off two quick kills, but Spindt hit the game clinching kill to end the first 25-22.
Hawai'i responded with a strong showing in the second set and came away with the 25-15 victory.
Unfazed by the Rainbow Wahine's play from the second, the Gauchos responded with a gritty 25-23 win in the third.
The set was a test for both squads, as neither could establish an early lead. However, UCSB broke away with a 7-2 run when Hawai'i was leading 12-9. Barbeau had a pair of kills during the stretch, while Katey Thompson bookended it with a kill and a service ace.
Aside from that offensive run, Thompson felt comfortable at the service line in the third set, as she went on to secure the game win for UCSB with another service ace. The senior finished with a match-high three aces.
It was a pivotal point for the Gauchos, as Hawai'i previously cut into the UCSB lead and tied it at 23. The Gauchos were able to get to set point thanks to a Barbeau kill, putting Thompson in place to finish the job.
After the Rainbow Wahine took a tightly contested fourth game 25-22, the teams found themselves in a five-set match for the second time this season.
The opponents traded off points early on, but Hawai'i was able to establish a three-point lead at 7-4 with the help of two kills from Emily Hartong. The Rainbow Wahine gave up their advantage as soon as they captured it by recording three-straight attacking errors, which tied the game at 7-7.
Hawai'i retook the lead and found itself ahead 13-10, but the Gauchos refused to go out easy. UCSB played to a 14-12 score, but ultimately could not keep the Rainbow Wahine from the decisive 15th point.
The Gauchos will look to get back into the win column next week when they travel to UC Davis and Cal State Northridge.

CHAMPAIGN – Jake Snow left town with a medal around his neck, though it wasn't quite the one he had envisioned.
The Newman junior, one of the Class 1A favorites at 126 pounds, wound up third at the state wrestling tournament Saturday at Assembly Hall.
Snow, who was upset by Seneca's Sage Friese in Friday's quarterfinals, rebounded on Saturday with a trio of dominating performances. He now has two state medals, as he was a champ as a freshman.
"I still think it's a great attribute to have," Snow said. "Losing in the quarters was kind of a downer. I haven't had to be in consolation before, so I didn't really know how it would go. It's nice to know when something devastating happens, I can bounce back and keep pushing forward."
Snow (42-5) scored a takedown 20 seconds into the third-place bout against Litchfield's Devon Fenton, and didn't even sniff danger the rest of the way. He got two back points to up his lead to 4-0, then finished off the bout with a late takedown to finish off a 6-1 decision.
Earlier on Saturday, Snow pinned Orion's Jacob DeVolder in 5:47 in the wrestleback quarterfinals, then needed just 1:47 to polish off Dakota's Nathan Olsen in the semifinals.
Three more area wrestlers – Rock Falls' Carlos Gutierrez, Sterling's Isaac Anderson and Erie-Prophetstown's Brandon McCullough – came up short in their bids for third place and wound up fourth.
Gutierrez had a back-and-forth affair with Belleville Althoff's Jarrid Braunagel in the 1A 113-pound third-place bout before Braunagel pulled out an 8-6 decision. The difference was a takedown with 35 seconds left in the third period.
"I didn't do as good as I wanted, but I'll take it anyway just because it's a big tournament," Gutierrez said. "I'm not too glad about having that kid [Coal City's Corey Jurzak] in the finals that I majored [at the Princeton tournament]. That's pretty sad. I didn't come here and wrestle to my full abilities."
Gutierrez (38-7) was dominant in posting a 10-4 decision over Sherrard's Chance Teel in the wrestleback quarterfinals. He then squeaked by LeRoy's Tate Ruffner 6-5 in the semifinals.
McCullough (39-4) began Saturday with a 6-3 victory over Sherrard's Hunter Spengler in the 1A wrestleback quarterfinals. It was the fourth time he defeated Spengler this season.
In the wrestleback semis, McCullough gained a 5-3 decision over Kankakee McNamara's Zach Lorek.
McCullough then dropped a 5-1 decision to Warsaw's Will Lucie in the third-place bout.
"This feels wonderful," McCullough said. "It would have been nice to get third, but being fourth in the state is nothing to hang your head on."
Anderson (29-9) began his tournament on Thursday with a 6-3 decision against Cahokia's Dameon Adams. They hooked up again in the Class 2A third-place bout, and this time it was Adams who took an 8-5 win.
"I'm very excited getting fourth," said Anderson, who dropped both of his bouts as a freshman state qualifier. "Like my coaches said, I'm just a sophomore and I've got two more chances. This kid, I beat him before, but he changed his style up and kind of threw me off.
"I'll take that fourth-place medal, put it up in my room, look at it every day I wake up and remember I was right there in that match."
West Carroll's Jacob Klein, a surprise Class 1A semifinalist at 182 pounds, ended up with a sixth-place medal.
Klein (35-14) lost to Byron's Nick Elsbury 6-4 in the wrestleback semifinals, then was handled 14-6 in the fifth-place bout by Olympia's Garrett Kelson. Kelson recorded seven takedowns in the bout.
Dropping their quarterfinal wrestleback bouts and getting eliminated for the tournament were West Carroll 132-pounder Zach Hartman, Newman 138-pounder Stephen Adamecz, Dixon 138-pounder Kylian Lally and Sterling 285-pounder Curtis Lilly.

Grae's Rating:
My dogs were barking to leave the theater.
If you want to watch a whole bunch of L.L. Bean-clad upper middle class folks wander through the woods yelling, then this is the picture for you. Oh, and if you love dogs and don't mind not being able to see any for most of the film, this may distract you enough so you don't notice all the yelling. Other than that, I can't fully recommend it to anyone, outside of its wonderful cast and pretty autumn trees.
I don't have a life resembling any of these characters. Joseph (Kevin Kline) and his nephew (Mark Duplass) are doctors, and Joseph's wife Beth (Diane Keaton) doesn't seem to have anything better to do than be irritated with him. But ideally, shouldn't movies contain some kind of equalizing factor that makes it speak to more people than just the ones represented onscreen? I don't know how to fly a plane or punch aliens but I liked Independence Day. Anyway, I suppose that's why Beth rescues a dog off the side of the freeway and he becomes the center of her life, despite Joseph's protests--the script is trying to be relatable. So at this point we've hooked the dog lovers. But what about interesting character arcs or humanity that keep me invested in a story? They forgot that part.
They name the dog Freeway because guess where they found him. Then, the heartless and cruel husband loses Freeway but doesn't think it's a big deal, even though they're at their Colorado cabin and a stone's throw from any number of dog-eating wildlife. The search begins, that causes all of them to fight, air their grievances, and learn a little bit about each other and themselves. All while hiking.
Watching an abundance of Amazing Race has taught me that the best way to really get to know a person or work out long-standing issues is to go through some kind of harrowing event with them. So while this dog is lost, Beth and Joseph have to face their frustrating marriage, everyone has to get comfortable with Beth's sister (Dianne Wiest) and her new doofus of a boyfriend (Richard Jenkins), and everyone gets comfortable with the idea of gypsies' psychic powers. At the end of the film, it just seems like everyone has given up instead of actually learning something. I mirrored that feeling completely.

BOSTON — As you probably know by now, Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli announced today at TD Banknorth Garden that winger Michael Ryder underwent successful surgery last night to repair three small fractures in his frontal sinus.
Ryder is out of the hospital and recovering, and he's expected to miss two to three weeks of action. He should be back to riding a bike by the end of this week.
All in all, it was positive news for Chiarelli and the Bruins.
"I just thought, based on when you hear fracture and in that area, you just figure he'd miss more," Chiarelli said.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Red lines. When it comes to the Middle East, President Barack Obama is encountering them everywhere. They are painted on the ground as directional markers for visiting dignitaries, and they are in Obama's and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's foreign policy rhetoric as not-to-be-crossed warnings to Syria and Iran.
As Obama prepared to tour a missile battery that is part of Israel's Iron Dome defenses, an aide at the Tel Aviv airport directed him to follow the red line on the tarmac.
"Bibi's always talking to me about red lines," Obama quipped, referring to Netanyahu by his familiar name.
Netanyahu has set "red lines" on Iran's nuclear development capabilities. Israel repeatedly has threatened to take military action should Iran appear to be on the verge of developing a bomb. The U.S. has pushed for more time to allow diplomacy and economic penalties to run their course, though Obama insists military action is an option. The issue has become a point of tension between the two allies.
Obama himself has used the phrase to describe limits that could prompt action against the Syrian government. Any use of chemical weapons by Syria, Obama has said, would constitute a "red line" that if breached could prompt direct U.S. intervention. It's a threat that could be tested amid new accusations that the regime used chemicals in an attack in a village in the north of Syria.
Referring to the painted red lines at the airport, Obama joked that it was "a psychological ploy."
Netanyahu replied: "It was minutely planned."
His tone turned serious hours later, during a news conference with Obama, when he was asked about their banter about "red lines."
"We did have a joke about that but obviously this matter is no joke," Netanyahu said.
Obama found a lighthearted way to poke fun at his Israeli counterpart as he thanked Netanyahu, his wife and two sons for the welcome they gave him at the airport.
"I did inform the prime minister that they are very good-looking young men, who clearly got their looks from their mother," Obama said at the news conference, prompting laughter from the government officials and reporters in the room.
Before Obama could continue, Netanyahu shot back: "I could say the same thing of your daughters."
Never one to relinquish a chance to show common ground, Obama said he and the Israeli leader had a shared strategy when it comes to matrimony.
"Our goal is to improve our gene pool by marrying women who are better than we are," he said.
Obama received a rock star's welcome at Israel's international airport from Netanyahu, Israeli President Shimon Peres and other dignitaries.
Netanyahu's new Cabinet, seated just two days ago, lined up and excitedly shook hands with the president, who chatted with each one as he moved down the line.
There were no signs of the sometimes frostiness between Netanyahu and Obama. The two smiled, joked and warmly exchanged pleasantries throughout the day.
In his speech at the airport, Netanyahu kidded Obama about his desire to explore Israel incognito. Netanyahu said he could arrange a trip to the bars and cafes of Tel Aviv. "We even prepared a fake moustache for you," he said.
When Obama visits the West Bank on Thursday, the Palestinians will send a message of music and peace.
Dozens of Palestinians will perform the traditional Dabka dance for Obama at the Palestinian Youth Center El-Bireh. The dancers were busy practicing on Wednesday.
Obama is set to meet with 120 youths chosen from four centers across the West Bank that are funded by the State Department's development arm, the U.S. Agency for International Development. After that, he will meet with seven of them for half an hour.
Saja Abdelraheem, one of the lucky seven, said she'll tell Obama she "has a dream" of seeing the conflict with Israel end during his term.
"I will ask him what can he do to make our dream come true, living in an independent state, ending our daily suffering," the 23-year-old said.
Mohammed Nazal, 28, who also will meet Obama, said: "I'm going to tell him that we want to live in peace and dignity, to work, build, move freely and in peace."
Among the guests invited to dine Thursday with America's first black president is Israel's first black beauty queen.
Yityish "Titi" Aynaw, 21, who was named Miss Israel three weeks ago, is the first Ethiopian-born Israeli to wear the crown.
Israel began airlifting Ethiopian Jews — the fabled descendants of the Israelite tribe of Dan — three decades ago, but the community has complained of discrimination and has still struggled to integrate into Israeli society.
Aynaw hopes to be a role model to her immigrant community — and says President Obama is her role model. In high school, she researched his biography and wrote a paper about his accomplishments.
President Shimon Peres has invited her to attend Thursday night's state dinner. She said if she gets a chance to speak to the U.S. leader, she'll thank him for inspiring her.
"He paved a road, for people who want to dream and go far," Aynaw told Israel's Channel 2 TV.
It's no secret that Obama is left handed. But, he confessed to Netanyahu, it wasn't always easy to be a southpaw.
As Obama signed a guest book at Netanyahu's residence, the Israeli prime minister took note of Obama's distinctive inverted writing style.
Obama said that in Indonesia, where he lived as a child, using your left hand was considered bad manners and that instructors tried to correct it.
He said he stuck with it "even though I would get hit with the rulers."
Israelis and others awaiting Obama's arrival at the airport were surprised to see his signature black limousine sitting on the back of a flatbed truck.
The U.S. Secret Service said the vehicle suffered mechanical problems before Obama arrived but the agency wouldn't say what happened. Mechanics were examining the vehicle.
The disabled limo was swapped out for a backup, and Obama went ahead with a busy day in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The Secret Service says it plans for these types of glitches.
The days before Passover are usually one of the busiest times in Jerusalem, with Israelis swarming stores and supermarkets to get ready. But with Obama in town, downtown Jerusalem was eerily silent.
Well accustomed to the traffic jams caused by visiting world leaders, many residents stayed off the roads, fearing sudden closures, detours and backups.
"The whole city is upside down, we can barely walk and barely drive," said Sophie Casper. "Look at this. It's unbelievable!"
More than 5,000 Israeli police officers were deployed throughout the city, coordinating with American security officials to secure roads for Obama's motorcade, said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld.
Devora Avidan, a longtime Jerusalem resident, said the streets looked much different than when President Richard Nixon visited Jerusalem in the 1974 — the first-ever visit to the city by an American president. Then, Israelis were asked to line the streets to greet the president's motorcade.
Wednesday's scene was more similar to Yom Kippur, she said, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, when Jerusalem's streets are empty of cars. "It was really nice."
Associated Press writer Daniel Estrin contributed to this report.

Reader's Recipe: Sesame-seared Tuna with Coconut Rice
Reader's Recipe: Sesame-seared Tuna with Coconut Rice
There are a few dishes out there that, no matter how full I am, I can always seem to find room for more. One of these dishes is tuna, just about any kind of tuna. Be it raw, seared, baked, or grilled, as long as it's tuna I love it. So when I saw that reader WhiplashGirlchild posted a recipe for Sesame-seared tuna with coconut rice I knew it was going to be a winner. To check out the recipe for this and a snow pea salad too,
Recipe submitted by reader WhiplashGirlchild
Last night, the boyfriend and I met friends at Jones, my favorite restaurant in Philly.
I ordered one of my favorite dishes there last night, the sesame-seared tuna with coconut rice, snow pea salad and wasabi-sweet soy sauce. They won't share the recipe with me, but I went online and found some very similar recipes. It sounds pretty easy, and I assure you, it's delicious!
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
4 (6 ounce) tuna steaks
1/2 cup sesame seeds
wasabi paste
1 tablespoon olive oil
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, mirin, honey and sesame oil. Divide into two equal parts. Stir the rice vinegar into one part and set aside as a dipping sauce.
Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot. Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side. Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.
Home-style Caribbean fare is often accompanied by coconut rice, a wonderful side dish to temper the heat of spicy food. Pair it with the spicy okra for a simple and satisfying vegetarian meal.
2 cups long-grain rice
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 (13- to 14-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup water
1 (3-inch) cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon salt
Rinse rice in a sieve under cold running water 2 to 3 minutes, then drain well.
Melt butter in a 2- to 3-quart saucepan over moderately high heat. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until it becomes opaque, about 3 minutes.
Stir in coconut milk, water, cinnamon, and salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, 20 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes. Discard cinnamon stick and fluff rice with a fork.
Makes 8 side-dish servings.
1 pound snow peas, trimmed
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin or dry sherry
2 teaspoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
a few gratings of fresh ginger
Steam the snow peas for NO MORE than 1 minute; then rinse them quickly under cold water and drain them well. Your goal here is to have them seem raw without being obnoxiously so. T
oss the drained snow peas with the toasted sesame seeds.
In a medium bowl, combine the other ingredients and toss the snow peas with them. Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes before serving at room temperature.
Can also chill for a few hours and serve it cold.
Serves 4-6
