New Books in Western History (9.7.09)
In the Denver Post, Clayton Moore reviews Helen Thorpe's Just Like Us: The True Story of Four Mexican Girls Coming of Age in America, which he finds "an insightful meditation on the issue of immigration, legal and illegal, in America." Thorpe, wife of Denver mayor John Hickenlooper, traces four women from their high school graduation to their time as students at the University of Denver, with the debate, both local and national, over immigration an ever-present, and often unsettling, theme in the life of each. Copies of Just Like Us have been ordered for DPL's circulating collection and the Western History & Genealogy department's collection.
Reviews appear in NewWest and the Irish Times of Margot Mifflin's The Blue Tattoo: The Life of Olive Oatman, a biography of the 13-year-old taken captive in 1851, during her Mormon family's emigration to California. Along with her seven-year-old sister, Mary Ann, who subsequently died, Olive Oatman was later traded to the Mohaves, but ultimately ransomed and returned. Mifflin's title refers to Oatman's subtle facial tattoo, a permanent denominator of difference for a life lived out in Victorian America. As Jenny Shank notes in NewWest, Mifflin argues persuasively that Oatman willingly received the tattoo, and that and other facts suggest the depth and conviction of her integration into Mohave life. Her return to white society saw Oatman become an object of fascination, and the subject of a fantastic accounts of her captivity. A copy of Mifflin's The Blue Tattoo has been ordered for the Western History & Genealogy Department. Compare it with Brian McGinty's The Oatman Massacre: A Tale of Desert Captivity and Survival (2005), with copies in DPL's circulating collection and reference copies in the department's collection.
Notices of Rebecca Loncraine's The Real Wizard of Oz: The Life and Times of L. Frank Baum appear in the Los Angeles Times and New York Times. Longcraine's book is the second major work on Baum this year, coming after Evan Schwartz's Finding Oz: How L. Frank Baum Discovered America's Great Story. And in the San Francisco Chronicle, David Perlman reviews a biography of another visionary, Frank Oppenheimer. Frank, brother of J. Robert Oppenheimer, father of the American atom bomb, was himself a physicist, an academic, a onetime Colorado rancher and high school teacher, and architect of the Exploratorium, San Francisco's remarkable and pace-setting science museum. K.C. Cole's Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens: Frank Oppenheimer and the World He Made Up details each of these lives, in a work that Perlman finds "at once an absorbing - even dramatic - biography of Cole's hero, and a wonderfully anecdotal history of the museum itself." Copies of Something Incredibly Wonderful Happens are available in DPL's circulating collection, and a copy has been ordered for the department's collection.
In the Washington Post, Carolyn See reviews of Richard Rayner's A Bright and Guilty Place: Murder, Corruption, and L.A.'s Scandalous Coming of Age, an examination of the City of Angels in the 1920s and 30s. "To love this book you have to love the wonderful novels of Raymond Chandler or James Ellroy," See writes, "where only the flimsiest veneer of freshness and glamour covers a decaying, even disgusting reality. If you can go along with that point of view, this social history will be a bonanza for you, a boundless source of creepy joy." Copies of A Bright and Guilty Place are available from DPL's circulating collection, and a reference copy is available in the department's collection.
In turn, in the Los Angeles Times Richard Rayner reviews a new edition of Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust, first published in 1939. Rayner regards West's work, along with Raymond Chandler's The Big Sleep and John Fante's Ask the Dust, as one of three books that "distilled distinctly and in very different ways the city that was being written about, and have continued to dictate how Los Angeles is perceived today."

Show designer Ray Woodbury adds Spot Ones to Pacific Amphitheatre rig
The annual Orange County Fair in California, which this year took place between July 15-August 14 across multiple venues, saw GLP's Volkslicht Zooms and new impression Spot One LED moving heads out in force.
They were specified by production manager/show designer Ray Woodbury of RK Diversified Entertainment, who is accustomed to the output and performance of the German company's LED platform, having run the Volkslichts on a number of events (such as the huge E3 computer games exhibition) and at the recent NKOTBSB sell-out arena tour, where he was creative director.
Woodbury has worked with the state-run OC Fair for the past eight years, taking on multiple tasks, including production management of several venues and lighting vendor for the Pacific Amphitheatre and The Hangar. His company also provides the event with staging and rigging services.
The production manager had first encountered GLP moving heads in Germany while working with Shakira — at the time when he was looking for a quality moving head LED fixture. "Then Butch Allen brought my attention to the new Volkslicht Zoom which we used on the NKOTBSB tour. I thought they performed well, so I bought 36 for my company."
His entire Volkslicht inventory has been on duty in the Hangar, which has been used largely for a succession of tribute acts during the festival. So what makes them special? "They are powerful, quick, light, 110v and easy for my team to use in a variety of situations — from corporate to concerts," came the reply.
"At E3 (on the Activision project) they worked perfectly around a circular prop, which provided some 'pop', and on the upstage and midstage trusses."
With 60 Rebel LED's (21 green, 21 blue and 18 red) creating a full color palette — from strong saturates to subtle pastel colors plus dimming, strobe and motorized zoom optics from 10° to 26° the Volkslicht has needed to punch above its weight, with a capacity audience of 1400 inside The Hangar and a further 2000-plus looking in from the outside.
The shows have been operated by a wide range of lighting professionals, including Joel Muir, Bear Blizzard, Andy Figueroa Jr. and Sean Coates — with the general consensus pinpointing the speed and response of the Volkslichts.
At the same time, Ray Woodbury also took the opportunity to run the new impression Spot Ones in the 8,500-capacity Pacific Amphitheatre, using them mainly as upstage floor effects in support of a number of rock bands.
This fixture has already provided a reference for a high output performance LED spot, which harnesses the output of numerous LED sources and runs them through the optical system of a spot fixture to create an even beam for color mixing (and at the same time achieve a focusable area for color projections).
"The Spot Ones have performed really well," confirms Woodbury. "We have had a different LD every day coming through with nationally known acts — and everyone seems to like them.
"We have about 200 other fixtures in this rig and it's a great compliment to the system that the Spot Ones really hold their own. They are powerful and quick color changing ... and very beamy. I really like the fixture."
He praised GLP for their overall support — particularly with fixture availability.

This is a longer version of a story that appeared in Sunday's Calendar section of the Los Angeles Times. It was a part a package of stories on science fiction in Hollywood, past, present and future.
The end is in sight for "Battlestar Galactica," and the beleaguered humans of the 12 Colonies aren't the only ones fretting about their survival after the credits roll — there are also the executives at Sci Fi, the cable channel that has ridden "Galactica" as its esteemed flagship, who will now have to carry on without her.
The final 10 episodes of "Battlestar" begins on Jan. 16, and while a prequel series called "Caprica" has been locked in for a pilot movie in 2009 — and a series to follow in 2010 — that show begins with a new cast, a new story and no guarantees. Dave Howe, the president of the cable station owned by NBC Universal, said there is anxiety about decommissioning the award-winning drama that gave Sci Fi so much of its contemporary identity.
"Believe me, none of us could ever overestimate the success of 'Battlestar' in terms of putting us on the map with not just a critical audience but actually with a new audience and an audience that is reevaluating a genre," said Howe (above). "It's been a honor to be associated with the show for all of us. It's been an amazing ride, and I think all of us will be depressed when it's over."
On a recent visit to Los Angeles, Howe was plainly proud of the broader success of Sci Fi (formerly called the Sci Fi Channel), which for a considerable part of its 16-year history was known primarily as a fanboy corner of the cable dial with reruns of "The Incredible Hulk," "Planet of the Apes" and "The Twilight Zone." Now the channel is in a different strata.
"We're at No. 5 for the year," Howe said, "and within spitting distance of A&E at No. 4, which I think has shocked some people who have assumed that we're so niche and narrow that we don't even register on the Richter scale."
The question is how the channel will make the Earth move again. Howe pointed to the series "Sanctuary," which premiered Oct. 3 and saw its pilot finish as the night's No. 1 prime-time cable entertainment program among adults 25 to 54, as part of the answer. The fantasy show — it's about the mysterious 157-year-old researcher Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping), who tends to a refuge for magical beasties — is also a symbol of Sci Fi's eagerness to embrace new models for the "next idea" of 21st century television series.
"Sanctuary" began as an internet series of "webisodes" and is filmed on a "virtual set" (green screen technology and CGI provide the backdrop for the action in the show). The show also uses "RED camera," a technique that means it is recorded straight to a computer hard drive instead of film and videotape and offers a higher-definition image and a more nimble post-production process.
Howe and his team are pushing hard online as well and view the cable channel as just part of the hardwiring they want to establish with science fiction and fantasy fans, a group that is now far broader and much less male-dominated in this post-"Matrix" and post-"Harry Potter" era.
Sci Fi is now working on a project that Howe calls "the Holy Grail" for Sci Fi: The channel is teaming television writers with video-game designers to create a franchise that is both a television series and a massive multiplayer game on the Internet — more than that, the fans who play the game will actually help shape the show's story arc with their virtual exploits.
The premise is in play, but the show-game will be set about 80 years in the future and on an Earth that looks very different than the one we know today. Summer 2010 has been circled for the launch of the venture, which is looking to win the affection of the massive multiplayer gaming audience that has made World of Warcraft a $1-billion-per-year business.
And for a channel that has fiction right in its name, Sci Fi is making a bigger push into scripted reality shows. Just last month, two series premiered with premises that sound like the bizarre offspring of "Scooby Doo" or "The Running Man." One series, "Estate of Panic," would have contestants battle each other and a haunted house for cash prizes, while the other, delicately titled "Cha$e," would have contestants run, solve puzzles and avoid being snagged by "men in black" hunters.
If anything, Sci Fi seems to be dealing with too many ideas; Howe says there are scores of potential projects being considered and dozens of option deals locked in, which may speak to the excitement of the sci-fi sector right now, but may also hint at a bit of anxious hyperactivity by a channel losing its go-to franchise.
Ronald Moore, the developer and executive producer of "Battlestar," said as a creator that he has never been happier with Sci Fi — "This is the most stable it's been since I've been there, and there's a lot to be said for that" — and he is optimistic about his "Caprica" show and the cable channel where it will live. "I think there's good people making good decisions and a sense that great things are happening."
"Sanctuary" star Tapping, a longtime veteran of the channel from her "Stargate SG-1" days, is also enthused by the direction of the channel and, more than that, by the sophistication of science fiction programming which is beyond its "gee whiz" era.
"I think fans want shows that have real and believable people in fantastic settings. I think for a long time science fiction on TV had characters that weren't very believable. People will watch a show once for the special effects, but it's the characters that bring them back."
That was certainly the case with "Battlestar," and Howe seems to recognize that best special effects on that show were the dialogue and ambitious explorations of the human heart.
"To take something that was a cheesy 1970s show and turn it into something like the 'West Wing' of outer space is not something that anybody set out to do," he said. "We set out to reinvent the show and make a space opera that could be relevant to a new audience, but to have this kind of impact and resonance way beyond anyone's expectations. It brought in people who would have never touched us nor considered watching us before. Now we have to build on that. That is our challenge."

Two hurt in Gunstock chairlift fall in Gilford
By DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
GILFORD – Two juveniles fell 6 to 10 feet from a chairlift at Gunstock Mountain Resort Tuesday night, suffering minor injuries, according to authorities.
Gunstock officials say the incident involved two children with their father in the same chairlift seat.
"It was nothing unusual, just kids being kids," said Bill Quigley, director of sales and marketing at Gunstock. "We're not sure exactly what happened, what the father was doing. I'm sure it was very scary for the parents."
Gilford fire-rescue teams were called to the resort at 8:32 p.m. for a report of a person who had fallen from a chairlift with unknown injuries. Gilford Fire-Rescue was dispatched, and off-duty and call company personnel responded with the department's second ambulance.
According to Gilford Fire Department Deputy Chief Richard Andrews, Gunstock Safety Services personnel found two juvenile patients who had fallen between 6 to 10 feet from a chair on the "Pistol" chair lift near the bottom of the mountain. Both patients were treated by Gunstock safety personnel and were prepared for transport to the ambulances.
A Laconia Fire Department ambulance was requested via mutual aid to the scene to assist with transporting the second patient. Both patients were transported to Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia with non-life threatening injuries, Gilford authorities said.
"The prompt response by both Gunstock Safety Services and Gilford Fire-Rescue helped to reduce the exposure to the elements and prevent any further or worsening of injuries that may have been sustained by the patients," Andrews said in a press release.
Quigley said the ski lift is safe, and that Gunstock officials placed the children securely on the lift, where they should have been safely held in place by a protective bar. The ski lift has been inspected and certified as safe by state officials, he said.

A new study published in the journal BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology finds that there has been an increase in birth defects due to a rise in older mothers.
The study looked at 5.4 million births across 14 Europeans countries over the span of 23 years, from 1984 to 2007. Researches found that while the overall rate of birth defects had doubled over this time period, defects were 27 percent higher in multiple births than in single births.
Being an older parent doesn't come without benefits, however.
"Age brings with it emotional stability, psychological strength, and financial security," says Pasquale Patrizio, M.D., a professor with the department of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale School of Medicine recently told Parenting.
But he did concede medical concerns. "Pregnancy-induced hypertension, preterm delivery, and gestational diabetes all increase as women deliver children at over 45 years of age."
Plus: Pregnancy at Any Age
And now, added to that list is increased risk of defects.
"The increase in multiple birth rates may be explained by changes in maternal age and increased use of assisted reproductive technology," said Professor Helen Dolk, the co-author of the study. She added that more research was needed to determine how assisted reproductive technology contributed to birth defects.

from the attic, dusted off...
By SWISSVALE 72
She finally said it last week; I knew it was coming. I sure hope the Steelers dont win the Super Bowl next year. Youre f***in ridiculous.
Im sure it had its roots in our respective upbringings.
I was born in a steel mill town .Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
She was born in a shoe mill town Lawrence, Massachusetts
I was a barbers kid
She was a PK ( thats Preachers Kid, for the majority of you heathens that populate this board)
My dad took me to Pittsburgh cultural events .Pirate baseball at Forbes Field, Diamond Belt Boxing at the Civic Arena, dropped me off at Pitt Stadium for Steeler games when I was 10.
Her dad took her to Massachusetts cultural events .museums, symphonies .
Digression #1: I went to the symphony once in Pittsburgh: Allman Brothers Symphony at the Civic Arena in 74
While her dad was praying, Dear Lord .we give you thanks .
My Dad was screaming, Smear his f***in ***, as L.C. Greenwood chased Ken Anderson.
Digression #2: My dad was actually careful about the F-bomb. The first time, I heard him drop one was when I was 18, talking about one of his Knights of Columbus colleagues, Ross Cioppa Ross, that brownnose f***er, he blurted out one night when he and my mom were sitting on the front porch. Tony, what did you say, said Mom. I I .I , said Ross was a brownnoser, Mary .thats what I said. No you didnt, scolded Mom. Meanwhile, I was engaged in a serious case of LMFAO ..good luck with this one, Dad!!
We got married with her thinking that this Steelers thing would get better. Truth is, Ive gotten worse ..much worse.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers because I sat and watched a Steelers-Cowboys pre-season game in the midst our honeymoon in 1980.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers because I made her sit with my Patriots friend, Stupid Charlie, during an 81 overtime victory, won on a Bradshaw-Swann TD pass. Surely, I thought, this will make her a fan. Dont ever do this to me again, she exclaimed .thoroughly embarrassed by the behavior of Stupid Charlie.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers because I made her drive back from Pittsburgh in a 1987 November snowstorm, while I watched the Steelers ( lose to the Saints) in my newly purchased 5 B&W car TV.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I collaborated with my Uncle Oney to bring a TV to my grandmas wake for the 89 opener. (God was pissed .Steelers lost, at TRS, 51-0).
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I jumped backwards over the couch, shrieking with delight, waking the baby as Gary Anderson split the uprights to beat the Oilers in OT in the 89 Wild Card game.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I gave my in-laws the Bums Rush out of the hospital room when my son was 10 hours old, knowing that was my only hope to watch the 92 Steelers-Bills Divisional Playoff when he was 12 hours old, freshly circumcised.
Digression #3: First, and only time in my life that I believed in karma. Opened a girls home in the face of stiff neighborhood resistance on Thursday, Anthony was born on Friday, Steeler football on Saturday .no way we could lose .we lost!!
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I brought our family to the Rutland, VT. Holiday Inn in 93 to watch Steelers-Browns. They picked up a Plattsburgh, NY station. All NE stations had the then ****** Patriots on. Steelers lost on a pair of Eric Metcalf punt returns. Nine-month old Anthony was screaming in the middle of the night. I was assigned to sit in the lobby with him.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause when Neighbor Susan called over during the Steeler-Patriot game in 93, telling Mrs. Swiss that there was a fire in the woods out back, and could Dave check it out, cause Chucks not home, .I said that I would do so at halftime. She objected; I told her to call the f***in Fire Department .thats why theyre there.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I consistently refer to Steelers-Browns 94 Divisional Playoffs as the closest thing Ive ever had to a religious experience.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause a week later, I screamed uncontrollably, F***, F***, F*** when ODonnells pass to Barry Foster was batted away, denying the Steelers a SB appearance.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I did a somersault when Steelers beat the Lions at the final gun of the 95 opener, thereby kicking 2-year-old Anthony in the nose .dropping him straight to the floor. That .ended the celebration prematurely .the next week though, after a Steeler TD, Anthony cried out, Daddy daddy .kick me in the nose again.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I stuffed my ears with cotton while accompanying her to a Saturday matinee performance of The Nutcracker during the 95 Steelers-Pats game. Should have known that no ballet-goer would be talking football, but one can never be too careful with these things.
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause I went to Pittsburgh on consecutive weekend during the 97 playoffs, leaving her home with the kids to battle the Flying Squirrels
Maybe Mrs. Swiss hates the Steelers cause Im afflicted with insomnia during the season, rising at wee hours to check the PG & Trib, and am still afflicted with PEIS (Post-Euphoria Immersion Syndrome). Prognosis is poor, condition .terminal.
I gladly accept my fate, though. STEELERS .GOT FIVE!!!

I thought I'd share these handy HDTV templates I created for Adobe Illustrator CC 2014. They probably work just fine in previous versions, though I haven't tested them. Many video artists find the transparency grid distracting and difficult to design against. We're used to working over solid black canvases in most NLEs and compositing apps. These templates use a dark gray background instead of black so you don't miss that errant default black stroke outlining your text.
Just download and uncompress the zip file.

This can be found at http://digitalzen.org/tutorials/basic-css.html as of 11-29-03
Okay, well I've noticed a few questions recently on how I created thus and such in the appearance of my site. Well I used CSS, and in response to the questions I've recieved I've decided to start writing some tutorials on CSS to help you folks get started. Now, without further ado...
- Tutorial on Basic CSS
This is a tutorial on basic CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) creation. It is going to cover many of the basic fundamentals of CSS files and how they can be used to improve the appearance of a website. This particular tutorial will focus on the syntax and use of a style sheet in a webpage or site.
Firstly, lets discuss the syntax of a style definition. The syntax is divided into three parts:
A selector, a property, and a value as follows:
The selector is usually the HTML element you want to define, the property is the attribute you want to modify, and each property can have a value. The property and value are separated by a colon and surrounded in the { and } brackets (the curly brackets).Code:selector {property: value} .button {background-color: transparent; color: #EEE8AA;}
As demonstrated in the above .button example, if you wish to specify multiple properties they should be separated by a semi-colon. The two properties above are a transparent background and a text color.
can also appear as follows, which is sometimes easier to read:Code:.button {background-color: transparent; color: #EEE8AA;}
Note that you can group several selectors by separating each with a comma. This will cause all the selectors in a group to share an attribute. This is demonstrated as:Code:.button { background-color: transparent; color: #EEE8AA; }
--Class Selectors--Code:button,textfield { background-color: transparent; color: #EEE8AA; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica; }
With class selectors you can define different styles for the same type of element. Lets say that your website requires two styles of paragraph and you want to automate the process. This can be done as follows:
With the above in your style sheet, you can identify a certain paragraph style as follows:Code:p.right {text-align: right} p.center {text-align: center}
Remember that only one class attribute can be applied per paragraph with the above method. You cannot apply both right and center to the same paragraph. It will not work. Another method of using a class selector is to omit the tag name in the selector as follows:Code:
This is aligned with the right side of the page

This one, however, will be centered on the page.

This will create a selector that can be identified for anything (not just paragraphs) by identifying the class as center using the aforementioned method.Code:.center {text-align: center}
--ID Selectors--
As opposed to the Class Selectors in the above section, which can be applied to several elements, ID Selectors can only be applied to one element. ID attributes must be unique within the document. Below is a demonstration that will match a p element with the id value of p1:
Another method for this is to use a wildcard to match the first element on the page with the id value of p1 to the style defined for p1Code:P#p1 { text-align: center; color: blue }
--Inserting a Style Sheet--Code:*#p1 { text-align: center; color: blue }
Now lets discuss the methods of instituting a style sheet.
The internal style sheet would be placed in the  of your document, and would be surrounded by the following tags:
As stated, the CSS would be placed within the tags. It should be placed within an html comment (thats what the  tags are)Code:
The external style sheet would be a file that was something like stylesheet.css. This type of file will be linked into the html document and the link should appear in the  of the document. The link syntax will appear as follows:
The above link is assuming that stylesheet.css is in the same directory as the file that you are linking it to. Otherwise you will need to modify the href link to suit your personal needs.Code:<link rel=StyleSheet href="stylesheet.css" title="StyleSheet">
--CSS Comments--
Now to add comments to your CSS (if your CSS file becomes large you will be glad you have notes to remind you of what you were thinking at the time). A CSS note is surrounded by /* and */ as follows:
/* This is a CSS comment */
--Example CSS--
This CSS is as used in http://digitalzen.org and is to be an example for anyone wishing to learn CSS.
I hope you found this informative. More to come in the CSS field.Code:BODY { background-image:url("background.jpg"); background-color: #000000; background-attachment:fixed; background-repeat:no-repeat; background-position:center center; scrollbar-face-color: #000000; scrollbar-shadow-color: #EEE8AA; scrollbar-highlight-color: #000000; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #EEE8AA; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #EEE8AA; scrollbar-track-color: #000000; scrollbar-arrow-color: #EEE8AA; color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;} .textfield {background-color: transparent; color: #EEE8AA; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica;} .button {background-color: transparent; color: #EEE8AA;} .checkbox {background-color: transparent; border: transparent solid 0px; font-family: verdana; font-size: 12px; color: #EEE8AA} A:link {COLOR: #EEE8AA; TEXT-DECORATION: none} A:visited {COLOR: #EEE8AA; TEXT-DECORATION: none} A:hover {COLOR: #EEE8AA; TEXT-DECORATION: none} }

Global air traffic is experiencing a sharp downturn, which will be sustained until the end of June 2009. This downturn will primarily affect North America and Europe. In contrast, air traffic in the Middle East continues to thrive and prosper. In Germany, for the period from April to June 2009, a downturn substantially in excess of five percent is being predicted. These are the core messages from the Global Aviation Monitor (GAM), produced for the first time by the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR).
The quarterly report by the DLR unit 'Flughafenwesen und Luftverkehr' (literally 'Airports and Air Traffic') describes the prevailing situation in the air traffic sector across individual regions of the globe and provides a look at likely trends in the next three-month period. This involves making statements about the global availability of flights and comments relating to the European and German market, as well as individual airports and airlines.
The DLR scientific researchers look at a global total of more than 3500 airports and somewhere in the region of 850 airlines. Since the fifties, air traffic volumes have grown steadily, interrupted only by short-term blips such as those caused by the oil crises in the seventies or the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001. Particularly over the last few years, there has been a strong upturn in the air traffic sector. Following the 30 million flights offered worldwide on scheduled airlines and charter companies in 2008, the entire market is currently trending sharply downwards. In March 2009, some 2.4 million flights were offered, roughly five percent less than in the same month of the previous year.
In overall terms, while air traffic is experiencing negative rates of growth, some differences do emerge when you look at individual regions. This crisis is affecting North America particularly badly, and the volume of air traffic in that market is more than ten percent below the level of the previous year. To a lesser extent, these same signs are evident in Europe and in Germany. In other regions, with the Middle East being one example, the situation is much less dramatic. Here, there is even some genuine growth, although not on the scale originally anticipated.
This trend is also reflected when you look at the airports. For example, and especially when you look at North American airports such as Los Angeles, negative growth is running at a high level, well into double figures. In Europe, the airports worst affected are Milan-Malpensa and, in Germany, Dortmund. In contrast, positive growth is being enjoyed by airports across Asia, with Beijing being one good example, as well as in some areas of Europe, for example Istanbul. In Germany, signs of positive growth can be seen, particularly for airports handling low cost carriers.
Parallel to this, a similar situation is affecting the airlines. For example, airlines such as Delta, which operates primarily within North America, are experiencing declines in excess of 10% compared to the previous year, while others such as Air China are finding it possible to increase the space they offer on flights by about 13%. In Europe, British Airways is being particularly badly affected by the crisis, while on the other hand, Turkish Airlines and a few low cost carriers are finding it possible to increase available space. This is particularly noticeable in Germany. For example, Ryanair has been able to extend seat availability for Germany by almost 20 percent for March 2009, compared to the same period last year. Even if you bear in mind that the availability of seats evaluated here was based only on what is known in the trade as planning data, there is nonetheless a close correlation with actual air traffic volumes.
For the period April to June 2009, it therefore follows that, with a small number of exceptions, virtually all air traffic markets worldwide are facing the prospect of a sustained downwards trend. In overall terms, the global availability of flights will fall substantially below 2.5 million flights per month. This downward trend will also be sustained in Germany, and forecasts suggest that the downturn during the aforementioned period will be substantially higher than five percent.

Photos: Boston's school lunches
Most of Boston's public schoools rely on frozen entrees trucked in from a food-production facility on Long Island, N.Y., and then warmed up in convection ovens. A plant worker added sauce to lunches destined for Boston's public schools at the Whitsons Culinary Group headquarters in Islip, N.Y.
These packaged lunches headed for the Boston public schools are transported on a conveyor belt at the Whitsons Culinary Group headquarters.
Line workers added fruit to lunches destined for Boston's public schools.
School lunches prepared in New York and trucked to Boston were heated and served at the Blackstone Elementary School/Blackstone Innovation School on Oct. 21. Worker Rachel Pierre moves them from the oven to a warmer.
Students moved through the line on Oct. 21 to collect school lunches prepared in New York and trucked to Boston's Blackstone Innovation School, Without a kitchen/cafeteria, the school's lunch area is called a satellite.

In an experiment this fall, Fenway High School in Boston has transformed its cafeteria into a test kitchen, teaming up with the nonprofit Project Bread to create new entrees that can be reproduced at cafeterias across the city. Project Bread chefs Gaitskell "Gates" Cleghorn Jr. (rear) and Guy Koppe worked with Carol Rodriguez (center) to prepare the tasting recipe for the day --- beef tacos -- on Nov 4.

Junior Marissa Kennedy, 16, ate her chicken tender by itself, not in the wrap, on Nov. 4.

New 2018 Coachmen RV Clipper Camping Trailers 108ST Sport
You will enjoy camping in this Coachmen Clipper folding pop-up model 108ST no matter what the weather is like. No more crawling out of a tent where everything ends up damp from the ground by a rain or a heavy dew!
You will sleep all comfy and cozy in this unit with ample space provided by two queen size 1-1/4" insulated tent end bunks. There is also a booth dinette that can be made into a bed for sleeping if you need the extra room.
Enjoy the extra storage found inside the cabinet to the right of the entry door, as well as beneath both dinette seats, and in the exterior storage compartment in the front of the camper too.
Wake up and put on a pot of coffee with the convenience of a two burner range, and the kitchen sink right next to it makes cleaning up a cinch. There is also extra seating space with a gaucho sofa directly across from the dinette, plus so much more!
Like most: Just a small note that say Thank You so much for helping my family and I find the perfect pop-up. We will use it and love to use it all season long. Thank you again. - Robert from Garden City, MI

+1 for every 4 connected regions in a territory
Does this mean that, in Austrum, the region Ha5 can't ever feature in a bonus because it's not directly attached to any other Ha regions ?
koontz1973 wrote:Why? It is a dead territ, their is no reason to add it onto the others. All of the Su territs number 3 so no bonus can ever be had from them.
ManBungalow wrote:To rephrase my question -
Can Ha5 be a part of the 4 connected regions bonus if the player holds Su1?, thus connecting the regions by a traceable unbroken line in the style of Age of Merchants and - I think - Kings Court..
Also, is there any point to having differently coloured regions in the centre of Vertex? Are they like that so that one can't actually get a bonus from them? ie. there aren't 4 regions of the same colour.

Yes, continuity of graphics and each one has its own name for the decays. Correct about the bonus though, no bonuses there. You will find nothing there apart from death (decay) and
glory (WC).

But like all things in life, things have to change. I just wanted to have dead terts on both maps, but if it is the wish, then so be it. As you know, these two days are my busy ones, so expect the maps tomorrow (to show GP only). Then I will start on the graphical changes to get these up to scratch.

Today was a conference day and then a travel evening. Stopping through the time zones across the country some of those pesky little nits about the way rude people travel come to mind. Leaving Baltimore the plane was fairly full but not completely. In the exit row we had an empty seat and we're taxing towards the runway. As the flight attendants make their sweep through the cabin to ensure we're all tabbed-into slotted and fastened low and tight across our laps they notice a seat in the row behind me isn't in the upright and locked position. Turns out it doesn't go up. So the solution is to have the shoeless passenger move up to the empty seat.
If you haven't flown a lot it may not be immediately clear than when somebody moves into the seat next to you by passing their shoes up first it will be a long flight. As the captain came on to explain the weather-related delays, both in departing and en-route the seat was filled with a book-reading passenger. In fact the book seemed so good he couldn't take his eyes off it, even while moving. Now I should be thrilled to see people reading more. The thing is I prefer those cases when they read in their seats and not so much in mine. Airplanes are small and cramped these days for sure. But when the large person next to you chooses to read their book by taking up the whole row it gets annoying.
Perhaps when it comes right down to it my annoyance was furthered by having [amazon title 0060833262 inline] read in an in your face sort of way.

Yea man, I think it just comes down to people being purely selfish. Our society tells us to get what we can for ourselves and teaches us no more to care for other people. It truly is a shame.

"I believe order is better than chaos, creation better than destruction. I think that knowledge is preferable to ignorance, and I am sure that human sympathy is more valuable than ideology. I believe in courtesy, the ritual by which we avoid hurting other people's feelings, by satisfying our own egos. And I think we should remember that we are all part of a great whole, which for convenience we call nature. All living things are our brothers and sisters." Kenneth Clark, Civilisation
The Banks must be restrained, and the financial system reformed, with balance restored to the economy, before there can be any sustainable recovery.
"In the Incarnation the whole human race recovers the dignity of the image of God. Thereafter, any attack even on the least of men is an attack on Christ, who took on the form of man, and in his own Person restored the image of God in all. Through our relationship with the Incarnation, we recover our true humanity, and at the same time are delivered from that perverse individualism which is the consequence of sin, and recover our solidarity with all mankind." Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"A credibility trap is when the managerial functions of a society have been sufficiently compromised by corruption so that the leadership cannot reform, or even honestly address, the problems of that system without implicating a broad swath of the powerful, including themselves.
The moneyed interests and their aspirants tolerate the corruption because they have profited from it, and would like to continue to do so. Discipline is maintained by various forms of soft financial rewards and career and social coercion."

Alexandra Daddario Covers 'Bello' Mag's Tech Issue
Alexandra Daddario graces the cover of Bello mag's Tech issue.
The 26-year-old actress opened up about her new movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, moving from coast to coast and more. Check it:
On making the move to Los Angeles: "The transition to LA was exciting, but also difficult because it's a very different city than New York. The biggest problem for me initially was driving… I failed my road test three times and was taking the bus around LA, which isn't as easy to do as it is in New York! But I've made some amazing friends here, and finally got a license and a car, so I feel more at home now."
On her horror movie rule she'd love to break: "Don't go exploring; it's okay to chicken out. Curiosity killed the cat."
Be sure to pick up a copy on iTunes! Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D is out TODAY!
FYI: Alexandra is wearing Ilja on the cover.

Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright believes Tottenham are capable of winning a trophy this season with Andre Villas-Boas at the helm.
Villas-Boas began his spell at White Hart Lane in unspectacular fashion, but recorded huge win at Old Trafford on Saturday as the north Londoners triumphed 3-2 over Manchester United.
The Portuguese endured a torrid time in charge of Chelsea last season and has been provided with the opportunity to rebuild his reputation at White Hart Lane.
But Gunners legend Wright expects Villas-Boas to be a hit as Spurs manager and live up to the early promise he displayed while manager of Porto.
Villas-Boas won an historic quadruple during his only season as Porto boss - including a triumph in the final of the Europa League - and Wright can envisage the 34-year-old winning the competition with Spurs.
"I think AVB will do well at Spurs," the former Arsenal record goalscorer wrote in his column for The Sun.
"They have got Panathinaikos in the Europa League and it's a competition they could do well in, not forgetting their boss won the competition with Porto.
"AVB feels that Spurs could win the trophy and I do not disagree."
However, qualification for next season's Champions League remains a priority for Spurs after surrendering a hefty lead against Arsenal to finish fourth last term, and then lose out following Chelsea's European triumph.

ATLANTA (Reuters) - Nearly 50 students and teachers were hospitalized in Atlanta on Monday after becoming ill due to a carbon monoxide leak at an elementary school, officials said.
The 43 students and six teachers from Finch Elementary School were all "conscious and alert" when they were taken to the hospitals, Atlanta Fire Department spokeswoman Marian McDaniel said.
Officials determined a faulty furnace at the 3-year-old school to be the source of the leak, McDaniel said. Carbon monoxide levels inside the school were "the highest we've ever seen," she said.
The school doesn't have carbon monoxide detectors, and none are required by Georgia law, McDaniel said.
Fire officials initially received a call that five people were unconscious at the school as a result of the leak. But first responders determined that although students and teachers were ill, many suffering from headaches and nausea, they did not lose consciousness, McDaniel said.
The students and teachers affected by the carbon monoxide were undergoing examinations at two hospitals, she said.
McDaniel said those not sickened at the school, which has about 500 students, were evacuated to a nearby middle school. Authorities hoped to reopen the elementary school on Tuesday.

Court Rejects PA DAs Attempt To Charge Teens For Sexting Themselves
from the common-sense-prevails dept
It looks like that was a dead end too. The appeals court unanimously ruled against the DA and criticized them for their efforts to bring charges against these girls. This case won't necessarily directly apply to other similar cases -- as much of the reasoning had to do with the requirement to take this class and write an essay about why what they did was "wrong," which was judged to be compelled speech, violating the First Amendment. Furthermore, the fact that the lawsuit was seen as retaliating for not obeying the order to take the class was also problematic. So, it's likely we'll still see other cases involving "sexting," where teenagers are accused of creating child porn of themselves.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Benedict XVI says he is praying for victims of the conflict between Israel and Gaza militants and gave his encouragement for efforts to obtain a cease-fire and negotiations.
He told his weekly public audience Wednesday that "hate and violence are not the solution for problems," receiving applause from pilgrims in the Paul VI auditorium.
Benedict called on both sides "to make courageous decisions in favor of peace" and end a conflict with "negative repercussions in the entire Middle East."

The two-part question was posted to Andy Reid in his postgame press conference – were Kevin Kolb and Stewart Bradley cleared following their concussions and will Kolb start next week against Jacksonville?
"Both guys have been cleared," Reid said. "And yes."
But as for today, the reason the Eagles won was largely the performance of quarterback Michael Vick, who finished with 321 total yards.
"I think he did a super job in there," Reid said. "I thought he was poised and moved around when he needed to move around, and he stayed in the pocket when he needed to. They threw a lot of things at him. I'm real proud of him."
Vick started for the first time since the 2006 season in a game against the Eagles.
"I saw some good things and I saw some things we have to work on," Reid said. "All and all, I'm proud of the kid and getting in and doing the things he's done. He was like a kid in the candy store before the game. He was so excited to get out there … There was a sparkle in his eyes."
Vick was sacked six times in the victory.
"They blitzed and did that a lot," Reid said. "A few times they went zero blitz. There were too many guys to block there. There were other times we had some breakdowns. That's a matter of guys playing and getting the reps. Every game helps you get a better offensive line there."
As he likely returns to the bench, Vick will have a larger role than he did last year, even with Kolb as the starter. Some of that was evident in the first quarter of last week's loss to Green Bay.
"We've incorporated him in there a bit more than we did last year," Reid said "He'll have opportunities to still make plays."
Left tackle Jason Peters tweaked his ankle and knee, but returned to the game.
"I'm proud of the kids for getting up and getting back in and shaking it off the way he did," Reid said. "It might have affected him a bit today, but he did some good things."
Rookie Brandon Graham, in his return home, got his first career sack, but left the game with a shoulder injury. X-rays were negative.
Overall, Reid said, "Every win is a great win in the National Football League. We're not graded on how pretty they look. That win down the stretch didn't look too pretty. There were some good things that I saw, both LeSean and DeSean made some big plays, Michael made some big plays. Defensively, we had the turnovers. You have to have those. Plenty of those we can work on. Kickoff coverage unit was better."

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) — Sudan's news agency says doctors are releasing the nation's president from a hospital in Saudi Arabia after minor surgery.
SUNA said Wednesday that President Omar al-Bashir will recuperate in his Riyadh residence "for a short period." The agency said earlier that al-Bashir had a vocal cords problem.
Media reports last month said al-Bashir also underwent vocal cord surgery in Qatar.
He has been indicted by the International Criminal Court on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide for his role in the war in the Sudanese region of Darfur. As a result, al-Bashir is a pariah in most of the world, though he is welcome in Iran, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Al-Bashir, 68, is Sudan's longest serving president. He came to power in a 1989 military coup.

When it comes to renewable energy what would Adam Smith do?
There is nothing more dismaying to football fans that a referees call that goes against their team and changes the course of game. The cry goes out: "Hey, ref let'em play."
The battle over energy policy these days has devolved to the same cry of "let'em play" as energy subsidies and tax breaks have become targets for all sides.
Republican lawmakers have lambasted the Obama Administration over guarantees for solar panel companies, such as the now bankrupt Solyndra. Environmental groups have drawn aim on the 1995 royalty waiver program designed to encourage development of expensive, deep water wells in the Gulf of Mexico. BP's Deepwater Horizon, cause of the worst offshore oil spill in history, received those waivers.
The feeling expressed by some is that energy sources and technologies ought to compete mano a mano in the open and free market and let the solar chips fall where they may. In opposing a bill pending in Congress – HR 1380 which aims to use tax breaks to promote natural gas as a transportation fuel – the Heritage Foundation argues: "Tax incentives like these allow government to decide which energy sources thrive or fail—and thereby distort the market."
But two recent analyses of energy markets, including one entitled "What Would Jefferson Do?," show, they are pretty much distorted all around and it raised the question for me of what would Adam Smith, the 18th century Scottish economist and prophet of the free market with its "invisible hand," make of the situation and what advice he might offer.

SOURCE: REGENX Biosciences, LLC.
April 10, 2012 06:00 ET
WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - Apr 10, 2012) - REGENX BioSciences, LLC. announces that it has received orphan drug product designation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its program for the treatment homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) using NAV™ rAAV8 vectors.
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is an ultra-rare, genetic disorder characterized by a defect in the gene coding for the receptor for low-density lipoprotein (LDLR), the major cholesterol-transport lipoprotein, resulting in elevated plasma concentration of LDL and deposition of LDL-derived cholesterol (LDL-C) in tendons and skin and in arteries. For most HoFH patients, current LDL-C lowering treatments are ineffective and life expectancy is greatly reduced due to the inevitable development of life threatening coronary artery disease. If untreated, HoFH patients usually die before the age of 30.
The REGENX program consists of a NAV rAAV8 vector expressing a normal copy of the human low-density lipoprotein receptor (hLDLR) gene. Research from REGENX academic collaborators at the University of Pennsylvania, Drs. James M. Wilson and Daniel J. Rader, has shown in a mouse model of HoFH that delivery of functional hLDLR to the liver via NAV rAAV8-mediated gene delivery results in dramatic decreases in circulating LDL-C. In collaboration with its academic collaborators, REGENX is developing a clinical program intended to support the licensure of a product for the treatment of HoFH.
"Receiving orphan drug designation from the FDA is a significant milestone for the HoFH program," said Ken Mills, President and Chief Executive Officer of REGENX. "This designation underscores our interests in developing novel therapies for rare, genetic diseases with serious unmet medical need."
About REGENX BioSciences, LLC
REGENX BioSciences is leading the effort to translate promising gene delivery applications into a pipeline of next generation personalized therapies for a range of severe diseases with serious unmet needs. We believe that the NAV™ technology to which we have exclusive rights represents the potential promise of curing the root cause of disease rather than the symptoms, and we are committed to establishing best in class standards for our NAV vectors. Our intent is to initially develop treatments for a number of rare, genetic diseases including hypercholesterolemias, the mucopolysaccharidoses, and retinitis pigmentosa and to ensure continuing access to our NAV technology through innovative partnerships, license opportunities, as well as the expansion of our growing team of global collaborators. REGENX holds exclusive rights to a portfolio of over 100 patents and patent applications pertaining to its NAV technology and related applications. Visit www.regenxbio.com to learn more.

Victory against IRS Proposed Regulations on 501(c)(4) Organizations—For Now
- Cordell Asbenson Congressional Action Program Director
- 2014 4 Jun
In January, we asked for your help to keep the IRS from muzzling 501(c)(4) organizations like HSLDA from talking about politics. On May 22, in a major victory, the IRS announced that they would bow to public pressure, scrap the proposed regulation, and start over.
HSLDA strongly opposed the proposed regulation due to how it could restrict organizations like HSLDA and others from informing the public about our elected officials. HSLDA Senior Counsel Jim Mason testified before Congress against the proposed regulations in late February. He, along with other witnesses from across the political spectrum, argued that this rule set forth by the IRS would be an egregious violation of free speech.
Over 150,000 people and organizations submitted public comments about the proposed regulations, and we know that many homeschoolers joined the call in speaking out publically.
Thanks to your efforts and the efforts of others, this is a major victory for free speech and an informed and engaged citizenry. This battle is not over, however, as the IRS also made it clear that they intend to propose new regulations next year. HSLDA will review the proposed regulations when they are released to see if they will impact our efforts to keep you informed about our government. If they would limit free speech and the ability of citizens to hold their government accountable, we will again sound the alarm and work to stop them from becoming law.
Until then, we can all rejoice in a well-deserved victory. Yet again, we, the people can make a difference when we stand together in defense of our constitutional liberty.
Protect Your Family
