This is another Crambidae similar (I think the same) to the A. selasella that I posted before. The only difference are the palpi, here the palpi are straight.
24.09.2013 - North Italy
Thanks for the help!
For exotic moths and other animals you would have a better chance on other forums, such as this: http://www.projectnoah.org/
As in our previous topic (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/natureplus/message/35267#35267),
I suggest not paying too much attention to the palpi;
I think you are right - I think this one is also A. selasella.
Hi Mike,
thank you for the answer and the info.

|Well, it was too easy after having climbed Mont Blanc. The summit is too flat and there was a log near the top. The snow was very soft so when I joined my mates we hardly descended to Refuge du Goûter, we didn't carry enough water. By the way, I solo climbed it because my mates were talking about the Mont Blanc ascent. So I decided to reach the summit and return with them soon.

should be an interesting next 18 hours. It's conceivable that the 6, 7 and 8th seeds all may go into blow up mode. or do nothing
just prayin' that imma wake up in 6 hours and 30 minutes and that the first thing I see when I'm opening my computer is a blockbuster deal that lands us Al Jefferon who then signs a 4 yrs 48M extension.
From tonight's game, I would LOVE to have Boozer or Millsap. Bargnani was such a non factor.
Twitter: @ReubenJRD NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.
Fingers crossed today!
Chicago is likely to be desperate. Given how cheap they have been over the years, I can't see them going in to the luxury tax.... but on top of that it would be burning a year counting towards the repeater tax.
The trade last night with PHX/HOU/SAC involved also caused some problems for CHI as seen here:
Only teams that can help Chicago now are those with an exception. However I don't see Memphis going back in to the tax and I don't see the incentive for Denver same with Orlando.The first real deadline deal in the NBA went down today, with the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and Phoenix Suns combining to send Thomas Robinson to Houston and reunite the Morris twins Marcus and Markieff in Phoenix.
Now, you may well be saying to yourself, Why do I care? And isnt this a Chicago Bulls blog? To which I say, Touché. However, there is a Bulls angle here. And it starts with Richard Rip Hamilton.
Sad Rip Hamilton is sad.
Of the three teams involved, two of them stood as potential candidates for a Rip Hamilton salary dump. Both the Rockets and Suns had enough cap space to absorb Rips deal without sending anything back. However, after taking on Marcus Morris and his approximately $2 million cap figure, that is no longer the case for Phoenix. Also, they have to dump someone to take on Morris, and would therefore have to dump another player to take on Rip.
The Rockets, however, would still be an option, at least financially. But Houston seems to be A) building for the future and B) set on the wing anyway. The Bulls would likely have to give up an asset of some sort to facilitate a deal, so any Rip trade pretty much comes down to exactly how much Jerry Reinsdorf feels like avoiding the luxury tax.
Of course, if someone is willing to take on Carlos Boozer and his gargantuan contract, then forget we said anything.
I hope and pray Colangelo is holding out for Chicago to include a 1st rd pick. Maybe Houston relents and makes the deal if Chicago included a 1st however that does not solve the $23/24M in salary tied up in Boozer and Gibson for the next 2 seasons.
Why would Chicago/Reinsdorf do this? Obviously it is not a basketball decision, it is a financial decision.
- puts Bulls under luxury tax this season (saves $3.75M)
- Bulls also eligible for share of revenue sharing
- saves a year towards repeater tax
- solves the Boozer problem long term without having to resort to amnesty (which still costs team $$)
C'mon Colangelo - get it done!
Boozer/Nate/1st for Bargnani/JL3
Send Haddadi off to someone for a 2nd rd pick (TOR or SAC in '14), luxury tax avoided this season.
Just hope Chicago isn't that desperate and Bryan and/or Bell/Rogers rethink the Boozer trade.
Issue... man something has to be done.Ryan Wolstat @WolstatSun
Folks, Raps already over lux tax next year even with Kleiza amnesty. How on earth are they supposed to afford Boozer? Just not doable
#tradeBargnani #tradeBargnani @tradeBargnani
@WolstatSun Raps would have next yr trade deadline to solve a few million $ problm. But you also ignore cap/tax rate increase - Coon est $5M#tradeBargnani @tradeBargnani
@WolstatSun Also as a fan that is total BS. Multi-billion corp owners in a very profitable franchise & market. We ain't Memphis! @Raptors
I don't understand Wolstat's math. Looking at salaries on hoopsworld assuming all options are picked up, the Raptors have a payroll of $74,348,759. Assuming the luxury tax stays the same as this year it would be $70,307,000.
Kleiza makes $4,600,000. Remove that from the payroll and Toronto will have $69,748,759 in salary which is below the tax line. Unless if he is assuming AA is coming back and that would raise the payroll but that's a big assumption that doesn't have to be made.
Boozer will get them into tax.. but they won't be in luxury tax territory without the Booz, not with my math.
This is a post I did in another thread:
This season -
Raps payroll $66,928,406
Proposed trade Boozer/Nate for Bargnani/JL3 results in +4.355M
New Raps payroll is $71,283,406
The Raptors will be over the tax by just under $1M (McGuire certainly looks stupid now: $992K).
Finding a team to take Haddadi for a future 2nd rd pick puts the Raptors under the tax with 14 on the roster.
Next season -
Raps payroll with Boozer (minus Haddadi & JL3) is $75,934259.
Amnesty Kleiza: $71,334,259
Larry Coon has been speculating that the salary cap and luxury tax thresholds are likely to go up $5M (salary cap around $63M and luxury tax $75.3M). If that speculation turns out to be true, then the Raps are $4M below the luxury tax for next season with 10 players on the roster.
Anyways, things certainly get a little more tangly but the key thing is to avoid paying the tax this season as after 3 consecutive years of tax paying, the repeater tax kicks in. http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q21
*EDIT* I am all for getting Chicago's pick in any Boozer deal - actually I'd likely consider not pulling the trigger and waiting until the summer actually. If the Raps were to pick 16-20 (lets assume 16 to make salary >) then the Raps would be able to draft player ($1.4M) plus fill out the roster with 2-3 minimum guys ($854k). The bulk of the roster for next season would already be set.
Looks like Toronto will land Telfair.
Can we include Gortat and Bargnani in that trade as well?
On Telfair, sadly maybe the most realistic PG that TO could trade for, considering other top choices would likely have to be part of a Bargs trade.
Anyone else thinking it would be Haddadi for Telfair???
Ughh.. I hope BC pulls a rabbit out of his hat today
I agree on the personality aspect. However, there are just 28 games left in regular season, hopefully playoffs. It is not a long term commitment.
Maybe the goal is to get Gasol and Calderon this summer. Who knows. But any argument about financial implications of trading for Boozer are much more relevant for Gasol - unless you plan on just keeping him for 2013-14.

A win is a win but this one was ugly, Charlotte played very loose defensively and Justin Peters gave up some weak goals but Zach Boychuk bailed the team in with a beautiful OT breakaway winner top shelf over Jake Allen's blocker.
Also very disappointing was the loss of two defensmen during the game. Bobby Sanguinetti took a vicious hit to the head from Cody Beach in the second and did not return for the third. Hopefully this will lead to a long suspension for someone who looks like nothing but a goon in his first AHL game. I looked up his stats on hockeydB and in only nine ECHL games this year he has 40 PIM and a ton more in juniors. Later in the game Marc-Andre Gragnani left with what looked like a hand injury and did not return. Two great offensive D-men down in one game is going to hurt going forward and hopefully both are not too badly injured.
The main problem on defense was sloppy clearing, turnovers in the defensive zone and forwards chasing the puck (this directly lead to the second goal). Justin Peters also gave up a couple of real soft goals but maybe he was tired from the lack of support in front of him?
A couple other observations:
- Jared Staal does finally look as if he is getting what it takes to play at this level, puck handling was better and he started to play more physical!!!!!!
- Justin Faulk continues to make really bad decisions with the puck in the defensive zone looking for home run passes.
- Michal Jordan puck handing has regressed from what I saw at the end of last year.
Charlotte knew they where more talented than Peoria but did not have the same effort or heart and it almost cost them tonight, hopefully they will take this performance and come out and stomp the Rivermen tomorrow night.
Nice to have Wilson back trying to motivate a team and crowd that was dead tonight for long stretches.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AGGRESSIVE FORECHECKING TEAM THAT PLAYED SUNDAY? That is two straight games where they laid back and looked more like they wanted to play the Paul Maurice system.
Looking forward to seeing the team again tomorrow and hoping they come out ready to play a whole 60 minutes and crush Peoria!!

The US sentencing commission considers whether computer criminals who use proxy servers and anonymizing tools deserve stiffer sentences.
Read the whole story
Let me get this straight - if I'm going to commit computer crime, I need to use the least sophisticated tools possible to get a lesser sentence? So they'd prefer it if I forced the bank manager to make the transfer at gun point than if I used something "advanced" like a proxy, or heaven forbid a web browser.
This kind of legislation seems wasteful, because if you are going to commit computer crime, chances are you will need tools. So anyone who commits computer crime gets an automatic +4-6 months to their sentence. Why not just change the law/sentencing whatever to reflect this? Or better yet find out what you are legislating on before you do the legislating.
So basically, script kiddy who hacks from home and manages to bring a botnet against a company causing massive site slowdowns could get a much much lower sentence than a moderate hacker using "standard means" (that includes proxies to me; after all, any decent hacker is going to attempt to hide their trail, duh!) who breaks into a processor and actively steals information. Yeah, right, that's fair.
Punishment should be based on the outcome and actual damages, not how they did it. That's like saying Murderer #1 deserves a lower sentence because he only used a single shot to the head to kill his victim, but #2 deserves a higher sentence because he used a knife to the gut. Does it matter? Both victims are dead.
Seems like a silly argument to me. It's the digital equivalent of giving a bank robber that uses a getaway car a stiffer sentence than a bank robber that uses a getaway bicycle. I understand that intent has meaning in the law, but I don't think that criminals should get lighter sentences because they are stupid or unsophisticated. Both of them intended to get away with their crimes.
Punish the crime of bank robbery not the method, no?
This doesn't surprise me much, but it is pretty stupid. They are thinking of this the same way one might think of "police evasion" or "destroying evidence" issues. Even here I think the reasoning is tenuous at best, but it gets even worse with computers.
Formatted that drive? Maybe you just destroyed evidence of a crime you didn't know you committed. Then, next week when you get arrested for said crime, they think you formatted it on purpose to throw them off. Further, with the proxy idea, maybe you didn't realize you were connecting through a proxy, or even if you knew, maybe you were just trying to keep your privacy.
The problem with these sorts of laws is that they infer intent. They assume the act was done in an attempt to throw law enforcement off your trail. This leaves two problems:
1. Maybe you weren't doing the action for that reason. This is especially true with computers where data is deleted all the time and proxies are common place.
2. Even if you did mean to throw them off, well duh! A criminal doesn't want to get arrested, hence all of them will try and throw off law enforcement in some manner.
What comes out of this is the logical conclusion: its pointless. Criminals will still resist being convicted of a crime, its only natural to do so. This type of rule will never have an effect on crime since it presupposes a criminal is worrying or gives a damn about such things.
So they currently need to decide between a thief wearing gloves and a mask because it was cold that night or to avoid leaving fingerprints and being identified?
Once again, because it's 'new' and 'technology', it must have special rules attached.
This will lead to stupid rules like:
-if you embezzle money from a bank electronically, you get, say, 5 years
-if you rob that bank with a gun, you get 7 years
-but if you embezzle money from a bank electronically through a proxy you get 8 years
holy cow, are all of you people hackers? you actually want to be allowed to do this? you shud all go to jail for life. end of story. im sick of this hacker garbage. you are all committing crimes far worse than walking into a bank with a gun. you'r all freaks and deserve to die.
Aren't there already laws pertaining to this already at the national and state levels?
I have an easier solution... to increase jail time add more charges - duh!
I really hate it when legislators think that have to create new laws when they already have ones that cover a situation in place. For example, using a cellphone while driving - wouldn't this fall into a distracted driver law. No, we must cover every possible situation. What's next - a law banning trumpet playing while driving (I've seen it), or increased penalties for using bullets with your gun during a robbery?
Who's to say a simple NAT firewall isn't a circumvention device under these guidelines?
Hy john, the only real difference between a black hat hacker and a white hat hacker is a thin line of morality. In other words, any decently competent system admin in the world could reek utter havoc upon any given system they so chose. So you see, it is you who are the fool. All of them are "hackers". That is what they do do in essence. They keep the Internet that you are using running with those skills.
Saying that they "deserve to die" is also equally retarded. So you consider "hacking" worse than 2nd Degree Murder? If so that is very lame to say the least.
This law is just another attempt at looking tough on electronic crime. In the long run it will not have very much effect in real world ways, but it will make some politicians look great in the eyes of their constituents.
"often created by infecting victim computers with malicious software that permits the cyber-criminal to use the victim computer as a proxy without the owner's knowledge or consent."
I'm pretty sure this covers my Linksys router. Of course, it doesn't have the sentience to object.. yet.
Why does this sound like an order job from the media industry? If you try and anonimise your downloads you get extra bonus jail time?
Sounds like he's just confused. He uses botnets as an example of proxy servers.
For botnets, I'm all for adding to the sentence. After all, they represent an additional crime of taking over lots of people's computers.
But proxy servers? Lots of people use them for every day computing. Some people say it is the only way to be safe when using public wireless networks because you can encrypt everything going over the air.
Basically, if the criminals use an illegal activity (botnets, hiding money from the IRS in offshore accounts) to assist in their crime, then by all means add to the penalty.
But we are really going down a dangerous slippery slope when we change the law so that certain perfectly legal activity can add to the sentence for crimes.
john = hacker?!?
- It's his first post
- When viewing inline with the article he has a star next to his name denoting him as an employee of Ars.
- If you view his public profile is says his name is "aquahealer" and his "Date Registered: 3 hours from now"*
* It's 6:16 pm EST as I post this....
Don't feed the troll, etc. etc.
"The accused used sophisticated mathematical tools like counting to determine the amount and value of the money he stole. He also used advanced social engendering skills such as not telling us he committed the crime to cover his tracks."
I'm pretty certain that john was attempting sarcasm.
Hah. Like they could catch me...
Think that by defining criminals computer technology can be defined ? Problem being those that define them,or develop them should fear of discovery or usefullness (from law enforcement) or the advantage gained from the technology itself.?
If to this vain,the certain jeoulosy of law enforcement to use of technology (if perhaps without it themself) ,means that it shouldn't be used unless equiped by law enforcement.?
Law speaks in all sorts of cryptic already.The statement:""do not necessarily require technical sophistication or indicate unusual expertise; they do not necessarily contribute to avoiding detecting; and they do not necessarily indicate premeditation or a commitment to a course of criminal conduct."" - is pretty forebearing.
If it was that the subject of audience gain was that of consideration here(this article here),then perhaps the comparable listing would be to that of the audience actually pertaining to clandestine law enforcement. Rather than who might benifit from knowledge of their existance. Since I would not feel jeolousy here. Although I know the audience not 'hearing',is the implementation of the deafness that is certainly all encompassing as much in and of itself.
Separate criterias in separate vains. Certainly. A "reasonable expectation of security",vrs being exposed,or having regulation that to be so by the same entity requiring being exposed . I dont think there are not court nerds for example,or there are prosecuting nerds,although defence nerds are probably just as respectable as say law enforcement. There are law maker nerds,and then the big what have you nerd.
We would be more suspect of being w/o 'reasonable expectation of security'',than a law enforcement,that is w/o means to detail the same. Even on the general perceptable level- that we might consider realistic. Proxies,anonymotity,cryptography,its the expectation of that security that gives us the right w/o the detail. Necesary of the government. I dont think that trying the separate premises will create more detail. Even for law enforcement.
Think there should be a differnt type of court,and a different type of law enforcement officer .
I remember some kind of advertisement one time where (perhaps it was for some hollywood movie),this guy pulled his head off of his shoulders,lowering to his waist ,on his side and said 'ahhh,that feels better".
This stuff is all backwards,with lawmaking becoming the 'dramatic'rather than the implementable. The computer stuff is pretty volatile. Still in just what manner has not been listed or detailed. When law comes up with things using the wrong criteria,along to the wrong premise,then there is only a 'yes,or no'in whatever code,say 'criminal,vrs regulation' there is something there that is not much to be considered for it. Least common denominator is certainly multiplicative,but for which certainty a direction ?
If there is to be badge shining,then the audience should be at least in sync. (*)....the separate directions are separate destinations as well. If there is a type of new criminal based on a certain technology we will be safer from ourselves.Bah.
Wait until you get accused of a computer crime. Should you go to "jail for life" or "deserve to die"? You are exactly the kind that leaves a wireless connection unsecured by accident and you and your types should take full blame for this action.
I quote Ayand Rand:
"Did you really think we want those laws observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it... There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or objectively interpreted – and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with." ('Atlas Shrugged' 1957) {WMail Issue #23}
The atlas keeps shrugging.
Ayn Rand is a true cynic. She doesn't appear to have given true thought to much, only producing a massive overreaction to what she grew up with in Russia.
Interesting to me that several people equate severity of punishment to the outcome of the crime. Why is the punishment greater for murder than attempted murder? The intent was still the same - the fact that the bullet ended up one inch to the left and therefore didn't kill the person doesn't change what the person did.
Notwithstanding the excellent point that the article raises regarding the way proxies are routinely and often transparently used, if it is the crime that is injurious to society then what does it matter to that society whether or not the person committing it took steps to avoid capture? It seems illogical to punish someone further just because they took such steps. In pushing for this, it's as if Mr. DuBose is trying to imply that there's some kind of "law of crime" whereby if you play by the rules and don't try to hide yourself while you commit one, you get a lighter sentence. To me, this is absurd.
It's the digital equivalent of giving a bank robber that uses a getaway car a stiffer sentence than a bank robber that uses a getaway bicycle.
More like giving a stiffer sentence because you stuck tape over the license plate on the getaway car.
Umm...I thought the Department of Injustice was being shuttered by Obama? Why are they still with us? And will the Department of Justice please investigate them already?
"Sophisticated" tools like proxies. Yeah. Next it's going to be "Sophisticated tools" like DNS servers.
Excellent point.
Although...I mean I can see the shell corporations and stuff like that. They're obviously bad, etc. So I can sort of see that, but...proxies? Geez.
I want to know what they're defining as a proxy. If you use the normal computer science definition then it would apparently exclude the likes of botnets because the botnets don't cache or modify the requests in transit, they just pass them along the same as routers do. By contrast, using a broad sort of dictionary definition would seem to include every router on the internet because they all act as a go between for the two endpoints.
It seems like what they're after is intermediaries that substitute their own IP address for that of the endpoints, but with that definition you're still picking up the NAT routers that better than 50% of users connect through.
I still don't even understand why they need "computer crime" laws in the first place. Fraud, embezzlement, vandalism, these are all actionable whether done over the internet or otherwise. Is there any practical difference between committing fraud via the internet vs. the postal service? No. Do we need separate laws? No. So close the department of redundancy department, stop filling the law books with this unnecessary tripe, and charge the criminals with the same crimes whether they used the internet or not.
Well I'm glad I'm not in the minority thinking this is just stupid on so many levels.
We all use proxies everyday if we use the net at work, lots of us use them at home or when we're travelling. I mean we use HTTP to request and receive all our web pages - a protocol that is in clear why shouldn't some of us use proxies, ssh tunneling to protect our information - doesn't mean we're up to no good.
If you've ever connected to a hotel wifi system and started a network sniffer you'll see how much privacy we have.
It's a technology that people use everyday, trying to criminalise it - is ridiculous. Target criminals, catch them and punish them on their crimes not how hard it was to catch them. You might as well base their sentences on their IQ if you follow this absurd logic.
And actually I believe TOR development was actually initially began using a European Union grant (although I am not 100% sure on this)
I use a proxy to watch the BBC when I'm travelling - is that criminal behaviour (I do pay a BBC TV licence fee btw) ???
BBC Iplayer Abroad
It's all about privacy and Governments disliking anything that stops them spying on us simple as that.
Oh and good article BTW
I was originally going to say something similar, but john's post is so painfully sarcastic I doubt he's trolling.
So, um, yeah. Don't feed "Comic Book Guy".

{This is, obviously, a not-so-meatless recipe. Check back next week for a fresh and seasonal Meatless Monday recipe.}
As a devotee to all-things-dairy, I was excited to spot the "Goaterie" blog party mentioned on Twitter. Of course, there's more to goat (or from) than cheese, so it seemed time to give the meat a try. Fortunately, I knew right where to turn for "happy" goat meat — Painted Hand Farm at the Bloomingdale Farmers Market in DC. When I asked which cut of meat would be best for cutting up, I was steered towards the leg — more meat than the shoulder. I bought two small leg pieces and headed home to research recipes. I originally had a curried dish in mind, but the Middle Eastern kabob recipe jumped out at me. I had read complaints about goat meat's toughness, so I employed my favorite tenderizing marinade: yogurt. In this case, goats-milk yogurt, of course. The result was quite tasty — grilled to medium rare, the meat was still tender and moist. It has a flavor somewhat in between that of lamb and chicken, and in fact, goat meat has less saturated fat than even chicken. I used my favorite purple bell peppers from the market, but you can use any color you prefer.
Recipe: Middle Eastern Grilled Goat Kebabs
Adapted from Blue Kitchen
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1/4 cup pomegranate molasses
- 1/2 cup goat milk yogurt
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 pounds trimmed goat meat, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 6 bamboo or metal skewers
- pita bread
For yogurt sauce, layer the following in a small bowl:
- 1/2 cup goat milk yogurt
- 1 tomato, diced
- several leaves fresh mint, chopped
Instructions: Heat small skillet over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and stir until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes. Grind cumin in mortar; add garlic, salt, pepper, oregano and cinnamon and grind to a paste. In a large bowl or 1-gallon plastic bag, mix the spice mixture with pomegranate molasses and yogurt. Add goat meat and rub to coat pieces evenly with the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. While meat marinates, soak bamboo skewers (if using) in water.
Preheat grill to medium-high. Remove goat from marinade. Thread goat pieces and pepper pieces on to skewers. Grill, turning frequently, for 5-7 minutes for medium-rare. Serve with yogurt-tomato sauce and warm pita bread. Makes 3-4 servings.

The Daily Bagel is your dose of the interesting reporting, writing and quipping from around the Internet.
• Video: Another day, another dance video. This time it's Caroline Wozniacki dragging Maria Sharapova onto the court to do something vaguely resembling a cabbage patch during a Brazil exhibition.
• Andy Murray says he'll swear off swearing in 2013, but points out that non-English-speaking players get away with worse simply because umpires generally speak English. I back Murray on his point, having sat beside foreign journalists who have translated some of the things Spanish, Serbian, Croatian, French and Italian players have said on the court. Some of their rants would make a sailor run home crying.

"I think a lot of people don't realize what the River Valley has to offer," Hale said. "We don't have to drive far to get far out into the woods."
It wasn't until Arkansas trail guide, photographer and author Tim Ernst spoke at Gardner Junior High School 15 years ago that Hale saw an opportunity to meet that need.
"We just put out a sign-up sheet to see if there was any interest in a hiking group in Russellville," Hale explained. "At the end of the night we had 50 signatures."
And from that, Takahik (pronounced "take a hike") River Valley Hikers was born.
"Mostly my wife and I just wanted someone to hike with," Hale said. "We didn't know the trade and we wanted someone to show us around."
Since that time, Takahik members have been on 383 hikes, had 6,412 hikers and hiked 1,632 miles, with as many as 72 hikers showing up for any given trip.
Suffice to say, they've come a long way since snagging 50 signatures at the speaking event. Hale said that he believed their group meets a real need in the community.
"The majority of our hikers are older folks. People who just want to get out and meet people and to experience nature," Hale said. "And we meet Saturday mornings at Tucker Coliseum, and we get a lot of the foreign exchange students going with us. It's real interesting to see them get out there and experience the things that we take for granted."
While the trials may be a challenge for some, Hale said he was constantly surprised at the enthusiasm and longevity of his older members.
"We've got people out there older than me who can out hike me," Hale said. "We're talking about 80-year-olds who have survived open heart surgery, cancer, and just about every other surgery you can think of. They won't hardly miss a hike, despite all that. They really step up and take leadership roles."
Having been traipsing across the Arkansas River Valley for 15 years, Takahik members have walked nearly every trail available multiple times — but Hale keeps it interesting for his hikers.
"Every hike is different," he said. "I've done them over and over and every time I see something new. We also try and hit the trails at different seasons so that people can see what they look like in the fall, winter or spring."
To keep it further interesting, the group participates in something Hale called "Bushwhacking."
"We'll just go out and explore. We may stop the car on the side of the Highway and explore a hollow and see where that takes us. Two or three times a week just go out and explore and see what I can find. It's exciting for the people who have been with us for a long time because they like to see something new."
The group also enjoys the occasional geocache — an activity made popular by the invention and availability of the portable GPS device and the Internet. Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunt. Participants try to locate hidden containers called geochaches using a smart-phone or other GPS device. Treasure hunters are allowed to take what they find, but they are honor-bound to replace it with a little something for the next person.
"I guess the weirdest thing we found was a fifth of whiskey," Hale said. "And we usually just sign the guest book and leave Takahik decals for whoever comes around next."
From uncovering hidden treasure, dipping into the many caves that riddle the Ozark Mountains to discovering the region's pictographs — adventure is there, right in plain sight. Never more than an hour's drive away.
And Takahik welcomes newcomers.
"You don't have to have fancy hiking gear," Hale said. "Just show up. Chances are there'll be someone there you'll know. Hikers are friendly people. We'll try to introduce you to everyone. Someone will likely take you under their wing and walk beside you."
The group will set off from Tucker Coliseum at 8 a.m. Saturday to explore Tyler Bend. All are welcome. Your life can only be bland if you let it.

Is it fair game for political opponents to attack a lawyer who represented clients accused of illegal and sometimes violent acts against adults and children?
The Republican Governors Association thinks so, but lawyers groups in South Carolina and nationally disagree.
Already, the South Carolina Bar Association is working on TV ads that defend "the legal profession." These ads are in response to the Republican group's ads aimed at state Sen. Vincent Sheheen, a Democrat. He is running against incumbent Republican Gov. Nikki Haley.
In response to the controversy, South Carolina Bar Association President Alice Paylor issued a statement, which says in part, "It is the job of a criminal defense lawyer to ensure his or her client has a fair trial, not to defend the crime."
"Members of the South Carolina Bar fall all along the political spectrum, and as such, the Bar does not pledge support for political candidates. Irrespective of party lines, candidates and those supporting them should present their own credentials and experience and allow intelligent voters to make informed decisions as to how to vote based on those facts…. Lawyers promote good government and economic growth. They represent the individual, the small business, the larger entities and the government. Some of those individuals are the poorest in our communities, and lawyers go to court for them without charge," the statement adds.
In addition, the American Bar Association has weighed in on the controversy, too. ABA President James R. Silkenat wrote to the Republican Governors Association and its chair, Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ), in an effort to retract the ad.
"A fundamental tenet of America's justice system and Constitution is that anyone who faces loss of liberty has a right to legal counsel," Silkenat said in the statement. "Lawyers have an ethical obligation to uphold that principle and provide zealous representation to people who otherwise would stand alone against the power and resources of the government — even to those accused or convicted of terrible crimes."
"The message the ad sends is wrong in the context of the American system of justice, and it must be rejected," the letter added. "The Republican Governors Association ad sends a disturbing message to lawyers — that their clients' past actions or beliefs will stain their own careers, especially if they want to serve their country in public office. Voters who subsequently pass judgment on the candidate for the singular reason that he was a competent lawyer are disqualifying him from public service. On the contrary, lawyers who represent unpopular or guilty clients demonstrate the kind of courage and confidence in our legal system that characterizes the finest public servants."
But South Carolina Republicans so far appear to find no reason to pull the ad.
"This is not about due process or the right to have counsel. It's about someone who wants to represent South Carolina not standing up for our citizens," state GOP Chairman Matt Moore was quoted in news reports. "He could have stood with abuse victims and exploited children and instead took a paycheck. Vincent Sheheen made a choice that was wrong."
"This is fair game," Moore added in a recent press conference. "He simply took these clients to make money. We think he's not fit to serve as governor."
Also, Haley's campaign spokesman, Rob Godfrey, said, "South Carolinians have the right to know exactly who Vince is and who he chose to represent when they vote for governor."
On the other hand, Sheheen said he wanted to have diverse cases in his legal career.
"I tried to experience every type of case I could whether it was prosecution, defense, or civil because that's what I think a lawyer should do," Sheheen was quoted in news reports. "It's a lawyer's obligation to take on many types of cases during their career to uphold the values of the Constitution."
Also, former state Attorney General Charlie Condon, a Republican, tweeted recently Haley, "should have this ad taken down."
"The basis of our whole constitutional system is that it's a noble calling, it's a really positive profession, positive calling, to be a lawyer and particularly a criminal defense lawyer," Condon added.

Still hosting the Cards, trying to end a slide.
The Phillies (48-43) continue their three games series with the Cardinals (51-40, 2nd National League Central), with a night game at Citizens Bank Park. The game will begin at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies' starter will by rookie J.A. Happ (0-0, 3.86), who is coming off a recent no-decision against the Mets on July 4, where he would pitch four and two-thirds innings, giving up only two earned runs on three hits, in the Phillies' 3-2 victory. He will be trying for his first major league victory while seeing if he will be able to pitch good enough to stay in the majors. The Cardinals will counter with their rookie Mark Mulder (0-0, 13.50), who is making his first start of the year, after spending some time in the bullpen. In his last appearace in the bullpen, on July 2 against the Mets, he would only go a third of an inning, giving up two earned runs on two hits. He will be seeing if he can do well as a starter, while trying to keep the Phillies' bats quiet.
Speaking of the Phillies' offense, someone among the players needs to lit into the rest of the team to get them out of their present funk. The offense has been acting like a sleepwalker for almost a whole month, and quite frankly, it needs to stop, and the only way it is going to stop is for one of the players to start acting like a team leader and get on the collective tails of the other batters. If this will ruffle some feathers, tough. This team is suppose to be better than this, and if they are waiting for someone to get a big hit, then they have been waiting too long. Someone needs to take command and tell the rest of them to get off their collective ***** and prove to themselves and everyone else in the league that they are the fourth best team in the National League and are a potent runs producer, instead of appearing to be a weak team that is playing a lot higher than they should be. Otherwise, they might as well start looking forward to another year of not being in the playoffs and a lot of really ticked off Phillies' fans.
The Phillies lead is presently a game over the Marlins as they have just defeated the Padres. They are a game and a half ahead of the Mets as they prepare to greet the Giants. They lead the Braves by five games, as they plan to play the Dodgers later tonight. The Phillies hope to get the offense restared while trying to stave off both the Marlins and the Mets, two teams who they have allowed back into the pennant race because of their inconsistant play.

Home » Mayor's Office » Press Releases » 2014 » 20140501 Homelessness Reduction Announcement
Subscribe to the Mayor's Press Release feed
NEW ORLEANS,LA - Today, UNITY of Greater New Orleans announced that homelessness in Orleans and Jefferson parishes dropped 15 percent over the past year. Chronic homelessness dropped even further, by 30 percent, according to UNITY, a collaborative of more than 60 agencies working to prevent and solve homelessness in the two parishes.
"Today's announcement is another sign that we are making a real difference in the lives of our most vulnerable citizens," Mayor Mitch Landrieu said. "In 2011, the City announced a Ten-Year Plan to End Homelessness and created the New Orleans Interagency Council on Homelessness to oversee its implementation. Together with UNITY of Greater New Orleans and the 63 partner agencies and service providers that make up the Continuum of Care, we are connecting homeless individuals and families with the essential services they need to put them back on the path towards stable, permanent housing and prosperity. Through our combined efforts, we have reduced homelessness in New Orleans to pre-Katrina levels, a significant achievement that gives us momentum as we continue this work into the future."
Nan Roman, president of the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the leader in the field of homelessness services, hailed the "spectacular reductions" in homelessness. Roman noted that the work in New Orleans is helping create a national model for effective street outreach, engagement and re-housing. National, state, nonprofit and local partners also said they were encouraged by the data.
Brad Sweazy, Chief Operations Officer for the Louisiana Housing Corporation also spoke. "One of the core missions of the Louisiana Housing Corporation is ensuring that everyone who lives in Louisiana has access to safe and sustainable housing," said Sweazy, who emphasized that ending homelessness - "not managing, addressing, or working on, but ending" - homelessness is one of the agency's biggest concerns. "The Shelter Plus Care program allows us to work on the core needs of chronically homeless individuals so that they can successfully transition into safe permanent housing," he said. "I am thrilled to join our partners today in celebrating the progress we've made in reducing homeless. We pledge to continue to support efforts to end the problem completely."
UNITY announced the new data today in front of a sunny St. Claude neighborhood apartment rented by UNITY client Barry Knox, 59, a chronically homeless 9th Ward native with lung disease who was sleeping under a raised section of Claiborne Avenue until he was housed in December. Other clients present at the event included Jerry Buster, 56, who had been sleeping in the Calliope camp, suffers from leukemia, is in line for a bone-marrow transplant, and needed to be housed before doctors could ensure that his recovery would be sanitary and successful.
Chronically homeless people, who are both disabled and have been homeless for more than a year, represent a distinct subset - 22 percent - of the city's overall homeless population. They often suffer from severe mental illness that causes them to resist housing and use public services at high levels. UNITY and its partners have focused on housing increasing numbers of chronically homeless people in recent years, following the lead of federal plans, which have prioritized the elimination of chronic homelessness.
As a result, the New Orleans partners have reduced the numbers of chronically homeless and vulnerable people by 85 percent over the past four years. Last month, the New Orleans team pledged to eliminate chronic homelessness in the city by the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina next year.
UNITY's newest numbers, announced today, are the result of the federally mandated Point in Time count, which provides an annual snapshot of people who are homeless on one given night. Through interviews conducted on the streets of Orleans and Jefferson as well as in shelters, service-centers and
abandoned buildings, UNITY determined that 1,981 people were homeless on that one night, March 31, 2014. That is a drop of more than 15% from last year's snapshot, which was 2,337, and a drop of 83 percent from the 2007 count of 11,619, after the post-Katrina explosion of homelessness.
Other homeless subpopulations also were reduced over the past year, according to the 2014 Point in Time count: homeless children (under 18) decreased by 38%, the number of families dropped by 17%, and veterans by nearly 43 percent.
This year's count also marks another milestone, since it is 3 percent lower than UNITY's 2005, pre-katrina Point in Time count. "We have still got lots of work to do, but we're thrilled to see dramatic progress," said UNITY executive director Martha J. Kegel. "It's confirmation that the techniques
we're using are working."

text: I don't think so. They certainly had different nationalities and races represented in their crew line-up. But that's to be expected of an international space-team. Certainly nothing new. I'm particularly at odds with the claim that the first interracial kiss is often credited to Star Trek. The problem with that is that it's not true. I don't know if the Star Trek production team as a whole is taking credit for that, but I don't see a rightful denial.

Sweetwater Union High School Leading the Way in Green School Building
By: Hon. John McCann, President, Board of Trustees and Dr. Edward M. Brand, Superintendent
After serving eight years on the Chula Vista City Council, John McCann was overwhelmingly elected to the Board of Trustees of Sweetwater Union High School District in November 2010. An independent leader, John McCann as a parent himself is committed to be the voice of parents and students and is working for academic excellence, fiscal responsibility and resources for the district's classrooms.
Dr. Ed Brand spent most of his education career in the Sweetwater District serving as a teacher and coach. He later served as Sweetwater's superintendent for 11 years before leaving in 2005 to become superintendent of the San Marcos Unified School District. In June 2011, Sweetwater's Board or Trustees appointed him acting superintendent where he continues to work with staff, parents, and community members to provide a quality education for all students.
Approximately one out of every four Americans step foot on the campus of an educational institution each day as students, teachers, staff, faculty and administrators. With such a significant percentage of the country affected by the state of the nation's educational institutions, building state-of-the-art schools is more critical than ever. However, many campuses that currently exist are in need of repairs and constructed with outdated and potentially harmful materials. Today, a concerted effort is being made to supply school districts with the funds to build sustainable educational facilities. These green facilities not only provide a safe and healthy environment for students and teachers, but they also have long-term positive effects on the environment and reduce the overall operational costs of the facility. Currently, Sweetwater Union High School District in San Diego County is leading the way in building sustainable educational institutions.
Founded in 1920, the Sweetwater Union High School District (SUHSD) has grown to include more than 43,000 students and 32,000 adult learners, making it the second largest secondary school district in California. Abutting the U.S./Mexico border, the district encompasses a population with a rich and diverse cultural makeup. More than 72 percent of district students are Hispanic and more than half speak a language other than English at home. Many of the campuses where these students are currently attending classes are nearly a century old and lack the 21st century technologies that are vital to preparing them for future success in post-secondary education. As a result, the Sweetwater community voted to begin building a brighter future for SUHSD students and passed Prop O in November 2006.
Prop O, the $644 million school construction bond, is now funding the repairs and improvements needed to ensure that the district's students are in a safe, healthy and quality learning environment. The first phase of Prop O construction addresses the critical and urgent needs of nine of the oldest schools in the 32-campus district. While specific modernization projects vary from campus to campus, each site will be enhanced to include university-grade classrooms and laboratories as well as Smart Boards with wireless technology in many classrooms. Under the district's leadership and direction to implement green building practices where possible, Prop O has resulted in California's largest school construction program designed to be 100 percent LEED certified.
One of the first schools to undergo Prop O construction, Sweetwater High School, recently unveiled its modernized educational facilities. As National City's only high school, the nearly 100-year-old campus was in dire need of the new 87,000-square-foot building that features 34 classrooms, a counseling and health center, a student services office, a library and a 200-seat theater.
"Every room inside of the new building gives students a state-of-the-art learning environment with the latest technologies," said SUHi Principal Dr. Roman Del Rosario. "SUHi students now have facilities that will provide them with the first class education they deserve."
The overall design of SUHi's new three-story structure emphasizes energy efficiency. Wrapped in floor to ceiling glass windows, the new building maximizes student exposure to natural sunlight. The prevalence of openly-lit spaces is not only visually appealing but also works to create a more harmonious classroom environment. Research indicates that teachers are happier when they have the ability to control their environments and healthy, happy teachers save our schools money. These seemingly non-monetary benefits are integral to the overall cost savings for the District because absences decrease while teacher retention and test scores increase – an overall value to the district and community at large.
Additionally, the new building at Sweetwater High School incorporates state-of-the-art motion sensor lighting to ensure that lights cannot be left on and energy cannot be wasted. Photo Voltaic (PV) panels are being installed on the campus as well. By relying heavily on energy-efficient technologies, SUHi will save 15.3 percent more energy and attain a total cost savings for the campus of 20.8 percent, or $35,544 per year. These efforts are coupled with SUHi's use of water conservation methods in restrooms throughout the new facility. By providing students and staff with dual flush fixtures and low flow faucets, SUHi will save 46.5 percent or 596,000 gallons of water per year.
The well-being of students, teachers, staff, faculty and administrators — particularly their physical and psychological comfort — is of upmost importance in every scholastic environment. By focusing green building efforts on the ways in which daylight can improve performance, good indoor air quality can improve health, sound acoustics can increase learning potential and comfortable indoor temperatures can increase occupant satisfaction, the Sweetwater Union High School District is creating state-of-the-art environments for students to excel.

MIAMI -- By consistently pursuing a strategy of continual innovation, Digital Centre has established itself as a global leader in coin-operated photobooth design and manufacture. The company now is introducing the latest version of its system software and convenient Share Secure identity-protection technology, both of which are expected to improve the consumer experience.
Since debuting its first unit, Dr. Face, in 1997, Digital Centre -- known around the world as DC -- has gone on to create such international photobooth hits as Dr. Fashion, Crazy Doctor, Pix-Mix Factory, Photo-ID and Ping-Pong Kombat, as well as the New Generation line in blue, pink brown and black versions and the novel Baby Boom model. The new Mega Combo delivers four individual images printed on large (6"x16") strips. Rounding out the line is a variety of event models including the Party'N'Go, Fold'N'Go, the Strip, Wall Strip and Mega Strip. Also in the DC lineup is the Instant Photo Souvenir kiosk that transmits photos from consumers' digital still cameras to a printer, email accounts and/or social media.
DC chief executive Josep Tarres recalled that the company's first photobooth, Dr. Face, was a worldwide hit and remains in operation in some Dave & Buster's stores and other top locations. It allows users to superimpose their faces on fanciful bodies of their choice. "The patron can place his or her face on a different body and the software automatically adjusts the chosen image's skin color to the color of the face," Tarres explained. "Dr. Face was a true photobooth innovation."
The company's latest photobooth software supports a wider range of options for photo types and sizes. Rolling out this fall, the Expression 3.0 suite incorporates state-of-the-art face-recognition software and features an improved main menu interface. After the initial vend is delivered, the patron is invited to print additional images, in different sizes, as an upsell. And all prints generated through Expression 3.0 software are imprinted with exclusive quick-response QR-Photo codes that allow the patron to access them on his or her smartphone, print them again and share them through email and social media.
The DC booths have social media, email and video messaging options, and the new models are equipped with Share Secure. When the patron chooses one of the sharing options, DC's Share Secure software sends the photos to his or her smartphone, so it is not necessary to type email addresses and passwords at a public terminal; logging on to Facebook or Twitter is done from the privacy of the customer's own mobile device.
This feature meets a growing need, Tarres told VT. An increasing number of contemporary photobooths can send photos over the Internet, but this raises privacy concerns. "Imagine you and a friend are at a booth, and you want to send the photo to your email address or share it on Facebook," he instanced. "Many booths make you enter your personal data, or log in to your account; you're typing personal information in a public terminal where third parties could steal data, and you're exposing passwords in the presence of another person. Share Secure reduces the risk of identity and password theft by allowing the customer to complete a sharing transaction on a personal device."
Extending the new software suite are two mobile applications, one for operators and the other for patrons. The operator app, PhotoBooth, allows an owner or manager to identify every photobooth on location and, if desired, to display them on a map. They can also use it to retrieve transaction reports and receive alerts from the equipment when the print stock is low or the cashbox is full.
The customer app, MyPhotoCode, brings a new dimension to photobooth operations. It works with the Share Secure software and the QR Photo code imprinted on each strip vended; the patron need only scan that code with a smartphone to load the images down to the phone, then share them in a variety of ways. A "Wall & Vote" feature enables customers to invite their friends to vote on shared pictures.
DC customers also receive a personal QR-ID code. A patron can use the camera in a photobooth to scan this code, which brings up an archive of all the images he or she has purchased, and buy reprints. This can be especially valuable if a particular strip has been lost.
Digital Centre also has pioneered the use of nontraditional photobooth cabinet designs. Often looking more like videogames, the cabinets not only boast a smaller footprint than traditional photobooth formats but come in attention-getting designs. The company's well-remembered Baby Boom model (which used photo compositing software to predict what a couple's offspring might look like) was heart-shaped; the present line includes the distinctive Strip and Strip Wall "open roof" offer a small footprint and attention getting style.
"Creativity and innovation have always been the best points at DC," said Tarres. "But we believe we need to bring that innovation to operators at the right price, so they can profit from operating photobooths. One example that differentiates us from the competition is the Mega Strip, which prints a giant 6" x 16" strip, compared to the usual 2" x 6" strips."
Today, with the photobooth market on the upswing and competition tougher than ever, DC continues to emphasize innovation as the answer to maintaining an edge. DC's New Generation line, for example, combines a classic cabinet style with an array of novel features. Measuring in at a slim 29" W. x 37" L. x77" H., the unit weighs only 370 lbs. Its programmable features include the ability to offer seasonal backgrounds for holidays such as Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas and Independence Day, and the software gives users an extensive choice of frames and customizable hairstyles, as well as the option of printing images in color or black and white, and in vertical or horizontal formats. The Windows-based operating system controls a Mitsubishi dye-sublimation printer delivering 600 vends per photo paper roll.
"The industry has changed a lot. The new digital options have brought a lot of new functions to the market," Tarres observed. "Most important is the flexibility that operators now have to customize their equipment, and the Internet functionality to send the pictures to Facebook and other sites."
The new Mega Strip, which also is in a classic photobooth cabinet, measures 76" H. x 56" L. x 34" D. In addition to a full line of image-modification options, such as wigs and hairstyles selected with a 22" touchscreen interface, the unit features an exterior camera.

The new Strip, by contrast, is a novel small-footprint module that recalls the nostalgic "four-for-a-quarter" photo strip with a vertical array of four flatscreen monitors. Designed for portability and installation flexibility, Strip measures 80" H. x 22" W. x 24" D. The companion Wall Strip is formed of three Strip units side by side, presenting an impressive 12-screen matrix. Both are well suited for event rentals as well as pay-per-use installation in location types previously difficult to serve.
"The size and design are great for any location," Tarres noted. "The Strip can fit into any fashionable store, even a small jewelry shop or similar specialty retailer."
Designed specifically for events is the Fold 'N'Go, a full-featured portable booth that folds to a compact size.
Digital Centre, with offices in Barcelona, Spain, and Miami, FL, sells its photobooths through a network of authorized dealers around the world. Information can be had by visiting digital-centre.com, or calling the Miami headquarters at (305) 387-5005.
