About this blog…
"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

- Easy to Build Mashups: Enables the user to pull in useful thematic maps (from map tube) or other layers (from OpenStreetMap) and to create markers on top of them. For example, you could map population density, show where tesco stores are and then tag interesting examples where tesco stores don't seem connected with high population.
- Greyscale Base Map: One of my continual gripes about Google Earth/maps is that it isn't easy to avoid the visually busy satellite data/road base level data. Gemma enables a greyscale map that allows location still to be seen but doesn't crowd out the view enabling the map producer to show more layers with clarity.
- Easily import in Mobile created data: Its linked to an iPhone app so a student can collect data and easily feed it in. I haven't checked out how this works but the idea is very promising.
The team deserves a big cheer IMHO. I do have some grumbles:
- Pull down options not search: If its possible, I'd like to see the search option for OpenStreetMap replaced with a pull down menu as the default option, with a search available if you really want it. Its a pain to have to guess what will pull up the right data, view the map, then go and delete the layer because it wasn't what you thought it was.
- Layout: I think the use of space could be more compact. A lot of screen real estate is taken up by the header and the layers appearing at the bottom of the screen will also take up considerable space if you produce a number of them. I found this old screenshot of Google Earth v4 (I think? - see below) which showed that their original design similarly lost screen real estate. In the next version they abandoned the thick bottom panel after user comments.
- Simple Markers Needed: The markers available are all complex visually with color grades and multiple colors. This is OK for a few markers on a simple map but if you add in lots of markers then the screen will soon get busy visually.
However, overall its a great resource. I notice that the project blog stopped in November almost a year ago, its a shame if there's no follow on funding to take it further and get it out of beta.
I usually promote Google Earth as the best tool for education, the three big pros of this project are something it would be great to see in GE in the future.

I haven't yet been able to enjoy your struts I bought a couple years ago...I first have to fix my roofbox, then get a torsion bar adjustment. Hopefully this Spring!

I highly doubt rich needs a new roof box. Rich you could fix that yourself. I have done 2 roof box repairs including swapping a door and adjusting torsion bar. You may find after you re seat your roof box that your torsion bar doesn't need re adjusted. And if you used robs rivet method you won't even screw up your headliner .

The NIJ-sponsored Sensors and Surveillance Technology Working Group has completed a market survey of through-the-wall sensor technologies.
Read the report (pdf, 31 pages)
Through-the-wall surveillance (TWS) technology detects motion through interior or exterior building walls. It can penetrate brick, reinforced concrete, concrete block, sheetrock, wood, plaster, fiberglass and common building materials, but not solid metal (e.g., it can "look" through rebar reinforced concrete but not a solid metal wall). It can be used, for example, to locate and track individuals inside a building during hostage rescue operations.
Some TWS devices must be placed next to the structure; others can operate at a distance from it, enabling building searches from a vehicle or other safe cover.
Refinements in technology and policy have overcome many barriers posed by earlier versions, which were often costly, had to be placed near or directly up against the wall, or were approved for use by the military but not law enforcement.
The NIJ-funded Sensor, Surveillance and Biometric Technologies Center of Excellence has published several reports on TWS technology:
Read the Federal Register Notice for NIJ's evaluation of through-the-wall sensor devices.
Read an
NIJ Journal article, "Through-the-Wall Surveillance: A New Technology for Saving Lives."
Akela Standoff Through-the-Wall Imaging RadarView a larger version that demonstrates how the system works
NIJ supported the development of the first standoff through-the-wall surveillance device approved for law enforcement use.
1 The Akela Standoff Through-the-Wall Imaging Radar; a portable radar system that can, from a distance, map and image the internal structure of a building and locate living personnel inside the structure. It can detect a motion as small as the that of a person breathing. The system can be networked, runs remotely using wired or wireless Ethernet, and provides the controls and display through a regular laptop computer. NIJ is funding further development and testing and evaluation in operational settings.
Read the report Through the Wall Standoff Detection and Tracking of Individuals (pdf, 70 pages).
[note 1] In late 2011, Akela received a waiver from the Federal Communications Commission to produce a system the use of which is "limited to state and local police and firefighters, and … limited to actual emergencies involving threats to safety of life, and necessary training."

This question already has an answer here:

Is there a place to find all (or nearly all) flights going from a certain airport during a certain time period?
If the "departure announcement board" at the airport was much longer (covering months rather than hours), that would work as an answer for me.

Wow, I seemed to ruffle a few feathers with my Mountain Bike Cornering Foot Position Part 1 post. I was simply asked a question from a student and I answered it. I was not intending to offend anyone and certainly it was nothing personal. A couple people said that I had "harsh criticism for Shaums March" which is interesting to me as I didn't mention his name, and I simply stated my opinion (and Greg Minnaar's) on cornering. Shaums is a friend of mine who have great respect for and some of what I know about cornering is from getting friendly arguments with Shaums and then testing his theories verses my theories. I believe that a good deal of what Shaums and I believe about cornering is the same with two exceptions (that are closer to one exception explained two ways): 1. Shaum's has said dropping and putting all your weight on the outside pedal is a bad habit, which I disagree with and say that sometimes your goal is 100% of your weight on the outside pedal (those times mentioned in my previous post) 2. Shaums has said (in his rebuttal of my post) that you always want your weight equal on both pedals throughout the turn, which I agree with A Lot of the time but NOT all the time.
Also remember, other than dropping your inside foot which is dangerous and off balance, foot position is not as important as vision (looking through the corner), braking before the corner, hip placement and upper body position. Focus on getting the BIG Picture skills dialed before the smaller picture skills.
What matters with foot position in corners is your goal in that corner. Sometimes your goal is to set an edge, other times it is to pump the corner and gain speed, other times it is to keep the wheels on the ground in a rough corner. I am defining a corner as being approximately 80 degrees of direction change or more. Often on trail there are wiggles (20-75 degree minor changes in direction) when your foot position doesn't really matter (no need for foot down). The last thing I want a ride doing is thinking on trail, "is this a foot down corner or a foot level corner?" so we teach most riders to focus on dropping your outside foot and most/all of the time you enter a corner where foot down is not required your subconscious "auto-pilot" simply doesn't drop your foot. Our goal is to get you to understand and do the skills we teach (there is huge difference between understanding and doing! Understanding is worthless if you can't do!) and for students with limited practice time we have found this is the best way to get them to do (and think less). Rarely will dropping your foot when you didn't need to hurt you but 100% of the time if your feet stay level when you should of dropped and weighted the outside foot you WILL Slide out!
Short recap, I (and Greg Minnaar) believe that when your goal is to set an edge like a ski racer and corner a full 90% or more at the highest possible speed in a smooth corner you want to drop the outside foot and put 100% of your weight on that foot. Doing this gives you; more traction, a lower center of mass, 155-175 mm of leverage, easier separation from bike when big lean angle is necessary and more leverage using your skeletal structure for support instead of your muscles (to fight the G-forces in a corner).
I have been told by so many riders, racers and students that you keep your feet level in berms! Again it depends on your goal, berms have little to do with foot position. If your goal is dig the tires into the berm for maximum grip at max speed you are going to drop and put 100% of your weight on that outside pedal, like Greg Minnaar in the photo squence above (which, when we shifted our focus to pumping corners Greg entered the berm slow enough to not worry about traction, kept his feet level and he gain an amazing amount of speed!). If you are going slow enough that you want to pump the corner and gain speed (which means you obviously aren't worried about sliding out) you will keep you feet level.
Much of the time, when you are on twisty trails with a lot of 50- approximately 79 degree "bends" you goal is to keep equal weight on each pedal and stay fluidly in balance (feet are level to the ground but outside foot moving "down" in relation ship to your bottom bracket). Also, in rocky, rooty or braked bumped corners where your goal isn't to set an edge but to keep the wheels on the ground you will corner feet level. Again, there is no time to think on the trail so with enough drills this will become second nature, switching from foot down to feet level hundreds of times in a ride. Watch Danny Hart in this sick run alternate between the foot down and foot level in the corners on his World Championship winning run below. At 21 seconds in (1:27.4 on the freecaster clock on screen), 41 seconds in and 50 seconds in (1:56.3 on freecasters clock on screen) Danny plants the outside foot for maximum traction. On quite a few other corners he is foot level.
Some examples. Saturday I rode the McKenzie River Trail and since it basically follows a river there weren't to many full 90 degree corners so for at least a minute on one descent I realized that my feet were level through 8-10 "turns" then, a very high speed a 100 degree left turn appeared and I dropped that outside and railed the turn. On Sunday I rode the Alpine trail in Oakridge, OR which had many more 90 degree high speed corners so I was dropping my outside foot way more than I was on Saturday on the straighter trail.
Learning to corner feet level AND foot down is important to reaching your best as a rider. There is no one way for all corners but there is definitely a better way for each individual corner.
Next week, part 3 the advantages and disadvantages of riding switchfoot (switching which foot is forward in corners) for cornering.
We spend three hours on cornering in our camps! This is a lot of information and it is much easier to explain, demonstrate and have you practice it in person than over the web! This is meant to be brief and to the point, not every bit of cornering information I have.

bento belly flop
I make a lot more bentos than you ever see on the blog. Most of the really lousy ones I just don't bother posting. I DO take pictures of them most of the time though, regardless. I would usually put this one in my bentos-best-be-forgotten folder, but as a special treat I'm going to show the latest one to you. Feel free to laugh at my expense. ;-)
On the right is a mini silicone cup of mango, a few frosty blackberries and another pastry treat from Whole Foods, this one a cannoli.
On the left side is some easy peasy pasta salad. I shared before how I keep pasta in the fridge to throw together quick meals...this one was tossed in a little Italian dressing and dressed with peas and grated cheese.
*** This is your friendly reminder that there are a few more days left for the the last bento goodie giveaway to benefit the Kallas family. Thanks, guys! Your support has really lifted their spirits, and that means so, so, so much. :)
6 comments:
I happen to love this! It really is well packed with tons of variety and textures, and beautiful colors. Good luck and prayers for the Kallas family... I have been voting daily! Thank you for putting on a wonderful contest to benefit such a worthy cause. :)

PS - I don't this this one is a flop at all!

I think this Bento looks delicious!If you won't mind I'd love to guide Foodista readers to this post.Just add the foodista widget to the end of this post and it's all set, Thanks!

MsCinderella, I do make bentos for myself, but I don't tend to put much care into them so they aren't all that cute! In the "post topics" over there in the left margin you can find the tag "bento4grown-ups" - some of my lunch photos are there. :)
Alisa, I'll look into that. Thanks!
Queenie, bummer your girls didn't like it! Maybe try a different dressing? Add some parmesan? Add pieces of salami? It's just a big hit with Paige and Tyler both - and the ease of it is a real godsend sometimes!

I am interested in breast implant reconstruction after my breast cancer surgery. What is involved?
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
I am interested in breast implant reconstruction after my breast cancer surgery. What is involved?
Rachel McKenna, MSN, CRNP, Nurse Practitioner in the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, responds:
Implant reconstruction is almost always at least a two-step procedure. At the time of mastectomy, we will put in a tissue expander, which is a balloon device that is placed underneath the skin and muscles of the chest wall. At the time of surgery, the surgeon will put in a small amount of saline (salt water) into the expander through a valve in the device; however, you will be essentially flat. You are usually in the hospital for 2 days for this surgery, and recovery time is about 4 weeks.
After you heal from the mastectomy, approximately 3-4 weeks, you will begin the process of tissue expansion. This means that you will need to come into the office on a weekly or every other week basis. At your office visit, a small needle will be inserted through the skin in the chest wall and into the valve in the tissue expander. A small amount of saline is added at each visit. The chest muscle and skin are slowly stretched to accommodate the appropriate sized implant. Once your tissue expanders have the correct amount of saline in them you will need to wait another 4-6 weeks before the second stage of the surgery. If you need to undergo chemotherapy, the next stage is delayed until chemotherapy is completed.
In the second stage we will go in through the same incision on the breast, remove the tissue expander and place implants. This can be either silicone (gel) or saline filled implants. Both types of implants are made of a silicone shell, the difference is what the implants are filled with. Both are safe. Your surgeon will help you to make the choice of permanent implants that are best for you. This surgery does not require an overnight stay in the hospital and recovery takes about 2 week.
The whole process from time of mastectomy to when the final implants are placed takes anywhere between 3-6 months.

Document Shredding Procedure
1. Schedule in advance
All departments must schedule a time to deliver shred documents to the Records Office. The Records Office has limited storage space, and can only accept documents within a week of each scheduled shred run. We will no longer be able to accept documents dropped off unannounced or on extremely short notice.
2. Charges will be assessed on a per-box basis
Due to the high cost of document shredding and the growing volume of material needing to be shredded, the Records Office can no longer afford to pay shred costs for other departments. One box of documents costs approximately $12.66 to shred. (Actual costs vary slightly depending on the total volume of the shred run.) One tote holds about six or seven legal-sized boxes of documents. Please provide org/fund numbers when calling to schedule delivery of your documents.
3. Confidential documents only
Only confidential material can be shredded. We will not accept text books, magazines, binders, or any other items of a non-confidential nature. Non-confidential documents must be removed prior to document delivery or the documents will not be accepted.
4. No hanging file folders permitted
Remove any hanging file folders from documents prior to delivery. The Shredway document destruction process can handle staples, paper clips, binder clips, and file folder prongs, so it is not necessary to remove such items prior to document delivery. However, the spring steel bars in hanging file folders can produce sparks in the shred truck during the destruction process, so they pose a significant fire hazard. Documents containing hanging file folders or other larger pieces of spring steel will be refused. Please contact the Records Office prior to document delivery if your documents contain any questionable metal parts.
If you have any questions about the shredding process, please contact Aerin Troxel by email at email@example.com

Happily, there are lots of natural repellents in the form of essential, or volitile, oils derived from many aromatic botanicals. Essential oils are used in very small amounts when mixed with neutral carrier oils such as sweet almond or grapeseed oils. Other repellent oils, such as Neem and Karanja, are cold pressed oils that can be used directly as insecticides and/or repellents when mixed in a formula, such as a lotion or salve.
Essential oils such as lemon eucalyptus, eucalyptus globulus, lemongrass, lavender, pennyroyal (do NOT use if pregnant), citronella, mints, thyme, sage, and rosemary are all useful repellents, and these can be used in dried herb sachets tied to ankles and wrists (perhaps spiked with a few essential oils). My prefernce, however, is to use the pure and very potent essential oils (try just a few drops at a time) in water-based spray solutions, oils, and/or balms. Such preparations utilizing repellent essential oils need to be re-applied more frequently than chemical deterants (such as Deet), but I would much rather surround myself with a cloud of essential oil-scented solution every hour or two than apply a chemical that poses health risks, especially when it comes to children. (It's pretty incredible to me, actually, that something with potentially harmful neurological effects would appear in bug sprays made specifically for children!) For infants, try to stick to a solution with extra gentle essential oils such as lavender, perhaps with a tiny bit of spearmint or rosemary.
Try the recipe below for your own insect repellent oil spray. This will last for a long time, as water based formulas are always more susceptible to problems than oils. Vitamin E and Rosemary Oil extract are anti-oxidants that help protect the oil against rancidity.
DIY (oil based) Insect Repellent Spray
1. measure 30 drops of any of the above e.o.s
2. add to 2 oz. carrier oil, such as olive, grapeseed, or sweet almond
3. add a few drops Rosemary Oil Extract or vit E (optional)
4. Store in 2 oz. spritzer bottle
Neem (Azadirachta indica) is an Ayurvedic herb well known for its insecticidal effects, mostly by targeting the reproductive system of pesky wee critters. Unlike the volitile essential oils used in the herbs above, neem oil is a coldpressed oil derived from the pressed kernals of the neem fruit. Snowdrift farm features insecticidal recipes for a salve, lotion, and massage oil using Neem & Karanja oils for treating mange and mites in pets.
There's a fascinating folk remedy called "vinegar of the four thieves" that I've recently come across. It is tied to a story about perfumers during the Black Plague who utilzed the antiseptic properties of several herbs to create a protective infused vinegar. Using wormwood, lavender, rosemary, mint, and sage, one can create an infusion that can then be sprayed on cutting boards, diaper pails, or anywhere else that some anti-septic, and insect repellent action is necessary. It can also be applied to clothing and exposed skin, it is supposed to be effective against chiggers, ticks, and fleas.
DIY Infused Vinegar:
1. Measure 1 oz of dried herbs, including lavender, wormwood (or rue), sage, rosemary, and mint
2. Put herbs in a mason jar and cover with cider vinegar
3. Steep 1-6 weeks in a cool, dark place
4. Strain into a spritzer bottle and use liberally wherever an anti-septic or insect repellent is needed.
(This will keep indefinately, as vinegar is a natural preservative)
Herbs of wormwood and garlic also have insecticidal properties, and these herbs can be used even as protection for house or garden plants. The spray below is easy to make and the materials are cheap, though I've never tried it. You can try subsituting beeswax for the paraffin and see how that works (and let me know how it goes!).
DIY Houseplant insecticide using Garlic:
1. chop 90g raw garlic
2. soak in 2 Tbsp paraffin oil for 24 hrs
3. slowly add 600ml water with 7g soap dissolved in it.
4. Stir well and strain through cheesecloth or muslin.
5. Store it in a glass container (do not use a metal).

, which seems to take place on the most frequently touched plastic areas of the white MacBooks, first surfaced in early June. A related post on an Apple discussion board got hundreds of replies--including many from MacBook owners experiencing the same problem--before it was locked by the company five days later.
"My MacBook is three weeks old and looks as though I've been using it for three years and rubbing my hands in turmeric each day (OK, a slight exaggeration)," read one post from a London man. "Everything else about my MacBook has been fantastic, and I'm really, really happy with it; but I am appalled that it gets discolored so easily."
Frustrated by the situation, Jose Munoz-Olaya, a MacBook owner and molecular biologist from Spain's Canary Islands, decided to put together a Web site devoted to pressuring Apple to respond fairly. As of Friday afternoon, his site lists 76 MacBook owners from around the globe who are experiencing the problem and have listed their device's serial number.
Most of those on the site started noticing the stains just a few weeks after they began using the MacBooks, which went on sale in mid-May. The Intel-based replacement to the iBook and 12-inch PowerBook comes in three models. The two lower-end models (starting at $1,099 and $1,299) come in white; the top-of-the-line model (starting at $1,499) comes in the apparently unaffected black.
Apple spokeswoman Teresa Weaver said the company is aware of the customer complaints and is looking into them. She added that those customers with "technical issues" should contact AppleCare. But Weaver declined to answer further questions, like how many people have contacted AppleCare thus far with discoloration and what might be causing the problem.
According to MacBook owners, the company has responded in different ways. Munoz-Olaya said Apple has replaced laptops for some who noticed the discoloration within the first two weeks of ownership. Apple told others, however, Munoz-Olaya among them, that it would repair the device only by replacing the plastic.
Munoz-Olaya, who reported the problem to Apple three weeks after the MacBook was released, said he would be fine with that, except that he can't be without his device for the estimated two weeks it will take to fix it.
"So basically Apple is penalizing me for being loyal to them and being one of the first to buy the MacBook," he said. "Please understand, I don't want a new MacBook, I'm otherwise happy with the one I have. It's just that I need a solution that won't leave me unplugged for weeks. A rich person would simply buy another computer. I can't."
Some online skeptics were quick to dismiss the allegations and wondered whether those experiencing the problems were just using their notebooks with dirty hands. But after trying a range of cleaning products, from soap and water to nail polish remover to hydrogen peroxide, Munoz-Olaya and others have debunked that theory.
"I work in a lab and have attempted to clean it with ethanol (which doesn't damage plastic) and the stains are permanent, they seem to be damaged plastic instead of built-up dirt," he said.
In addition to the complaints posted on Munoz-Olaya's and Apple's sites, the Unofficial Apple Weblog conducted an unscientific poll of readers and found that about 20 percent of some 1,560 voters had experienced problems with the discoloration.
A similar Web effort was launched following reports last fall that the screen on the iPod Nano, which had just been released, was prone to scratching. A related class-action lawsuit was later filed.
And several years ago, Apple's stylish Power Mac G4 Cube ended up marked with hair-thin lines some said were cracks.
Apple acknowledged a different problem with the MacBook earlier this month; some MacBooks were coming from the factory with a plastic film covering the rear exit vent, .

- This event has passed.
Intermediate-Advanced Tango with Damian and Sarah
July 18 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
An event every week that begins at 7:30 pm on Thursday, repeating indefinitely
The intermediate-advanced class is geared toward those who have been actively dancing for at least 2 years (classes milongas practicas) have a good grasp of basic technique and can fluidly incorporate different rhythmic patterns and cadencia in their dancing. We focus on improving and fine-tuning the quality of movement and developing a subtle connection between leader and follower. The sequences are more complex although often deceptively simple. We teach followers to take an active role in the dance and encourage dancers to develop expression and personality.
Class cards are available at a discount: visit the website below!

The old saying is that you don't bring a knife to a gunfight. Nor do you bring a sidewalk. Apparently the jury in the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin case bought into the fact that concrete can be used as a weapon. But it's no contest against a 9 mm pistol.
Although Zimmerman was found not guilty on all counts, including second-degree murder and manslaughter, that doesn't mean he isn't guilty. As was depicted in the movie 'Sliding Doors,' our choices carve a path to destiny - change one option and the resulting destiny is also changed. Would Martin be alive if Zimmerman had never gotten out of his vehicle? Yes. Would Zimmerman have been seriously hurt if he hadn't shot Martin? Maybe. Did the state prosecution overreach with their charge of second-degree murder? If Zimmerman's name had been Gonzales would the trial have even gotten national attention? Would there have even been a trial had not the president said that if he'd had a son "he would look like Trayvon Martin?"
While Obama made a half-hearted attempt to calm pending unrest following the verdict by saying the "jury has spoken" and "we're a nation of laws," his Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took a much different stance. The former trial lawyer admitted he's not always onboard with juries and stated "this isn't over with." He pushed the Justice Department to investigate further and probe for federal charges against Zimmerman. And at the same time, suggested the state of Florida revisit their own laws.
Reid is the gold-plated elitist on a progressive pedestal, challenging in the same breath the veracity of the U.S. Constitution of a jury trial, supplanting that with a trial by the Justice Department, and the 10th Amendment, supplanting state law with federal. "It is the system we have," Reid says with disdain. He and others of his ilk would abandon that system in a Nevada minute for something more along the lines of, ironically, what we had with King George before the Revolutionary War. His way. Their way.
Contrary to popular belief, the Constitution makes no provision for a jury trial by one's peers. In fact, manipulation of jury selection is one of the most powerful tools employed by wily trial lawyers. "Stacking" the jury with members most prone to be swayed in a desired direction has become a demographic and psychological science that rivals anything Google, Facebook or Amazon ever imagined.
All six members of the jury were women. Five white and one Hispanic. Some have said this was stacked against Martin from the beginning. Perhaps, if guilt or innocence was determined by race and not the preponderance of evidence.
Like Harry Reid, President Obama will not allow this tragedy to pass without leveraging it for political gain. We can honor Trayvon Martin, he said, by asking ourselves if we're doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence - in spite of the fact that the jury ruled that Martin was the aggressor, not the victim; and the gun was used not in violence, but in self defense.
Facts and verdicts mean little to elitists pursuing their own agendas.

Since the first US and allied bombers hit targets in Libya early Sunday morning, the rare voices of protest from Capitol Hill have been coming from a handful of lawmakers on the libertarian right wing of the Republican Party or the antiwar left of the Democratic Party.
These caucuses are ideological bookends on the hot-button fiscal and social issues currently before the Congress. While not meeting formally, they have found common ground in opposition to directing US military firepower in Libya without explicit authorization from Congress.
"Imposing a no-fly zone over a country is an act of war," said Rep. Ron Paul (R) of Texas, noting that the air war over Libya occurred on the anniversary of the US attack on Iraq. Like Iraq, "this could go on for a long time," despite White House claims to the contrary, he added.
On the left, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D) of Ohio said: "War from the air is still war," and called on Congress to be called back into session immediately to decide whether or not to authorize the United States' participation in a military strike. "Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution clearly states that the United States Congress has the power to declare war. The president does not. That was the founders' intent."
Many in the 87-member Republican freshman class campaigned to rein in the federal role and limit all legislation to what is strictly defined by the US Constitution. But so far, few even in that class have taken a stand to demand a more robust congressional approval of US military actions in Libya.
"It's not enough for the President simply to explain military actions in Libya to the American people, after the fact, as though we are serfs," said freshman Rep. Justin Amash (R) of Michigan in a Facebook post. "When there is no imminent threat to our country, he cannot launch strikes without authorization from the American people, through our elected Representatives in Congress. No United Nations resolution or congressional act permits the President to circumvent the Constitution," he added.
Robert Byrd's relentless floor speeches
Congress has been famously reluctant to take on executive war powers since World War II and the Vietnam War era. In the run-up to the Iraq war, the late Sen. Robert Byrd (D) of West Virginia delivered relentless floor speeches to his colleagues of the importance of congressional war powers. Since then, few lawmakers have fought for congressional war powers, especially in the face of a president of their own party.
"The only way you get authority under our Constitution [to go to war] is from the Congress," says Louis Fisher, who recently retired after four decades at the Library of Congress as senior specialist in separation of powers. Responding to congressional claims that the United Nations or NATO can legitimate the use of US force in Libya, he added: "President and the Congress through the treaty process cannot give away congressional power."
"The framers knew the last thing anybody would want is an executive who would go to war unilaterally because they had watched countries suffer so much from countries getting involved in horrible wars. War had to be authorized by the country's representatives," he added.
On March 17, 8 Republicans and 85 Democrats voted to assert congressional power to order US forces out of Afghanistan. The measure failed, 93 to 321, with Congressman Amash voting "present."
Two-term Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah, one of the eight Republicans voting for the measure, was also one of the first members of Congress to object to a US military role in Libya. "I disagree with the use of US force in Libya," he said in a Facebook post on March 19. "Projection of US force should be used to combat a clear and present danger to the United States of America. In this case, I see none."
"There is a problem that members of Congress don't want the responsibility of making decisions about war and peace," says David Boaz, executive vice president of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. "It is partly that presidents arrogate to themselves the power to make these life and death decisions, but it is also the case that Congress lets them."
So far, top lawmakers have limited themselves to requests for a more detailed explanation of the mission, some noting regret that President Obama did not take action sooner to protect Libyan civilians.
In a hearing of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Thursday, the chairman, Sen. John Kerry (D) of Massachusetts, urged the Obama administration to heed the "new Arab awakening," the Arab League's call for a United Nations no-fly zone, and "seize the moment and recognize the opportunity it presents."
Since the attacks, congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle have emphasized the need to limit the scope of the US role in Libya. "With the full and unprecedented backing of the Arab League and the United Nations, US forces, along with our allies, are enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya. I support this limited, international action," said Sen. Richard Durbin, assistant majority leader and a member of the foreign relations panel. "I also agree with President Obama; no US ground forces should be used in this operation and it must remain limited in scope and duration."
Ensuring limited scope
At issue for House Republican leaders, who so far are speaking with one voice on this issue, is ensuring that the scope and purpose of the mission remain limited. "The president is the commander-in-chief, but the administration has a responsibility to define for the American people, the Congress, and our troops what the mission in Libya is, better explain what America's role is in achieving that mission, and make clear how it will be accomplished," said Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio, in a statement on March 20.
"The speaker supports the efforts of our troops, but this administration must do a better job of communicating to the American people and to Congress about the scope and purpose of our mission in Libya, America's role, and how it will be achieved," said Boehner spokesman Michael Steel, in an e-mail.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R) of Florida, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee, called on the president to "clearly define for the American people what vital United States security interests he believes are currently at stake in Libya." "Deferring to the United Nations and calling on our military personnel to enforce the 'writ of the international community' sets a dangerous precedent," she said in a statement.
On the Senate side, Sen. Richard Lugar (R) of Indiana had called for a declaration of war by the Congress before any military action in Libya. Failing that, the president now needs to clarify the mission. "Now, the president has been very clear; no American boots on the ground, no ground troops, no American aircraft over Libya. … But we really have not discovered who it is in Libya that we are trying to support," he said on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Where Will You Be April 26, 2012? Girls and Women in ICT
In November last year, I blogged about why ICT for women and girls in engineering matters. This year, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) Secretary-General is announcing the international "Girls in ICT Day." He states:
"As the leading specialized agency of the United Nations for information and communication technologies (ICTs), ITU looks towards its Members to harness the catalytic role of ICTs in creating far-reaching opportunities for women and girls by eliminating gender disparities and empowering them to meet their goals and aspirations. I call upon all stakeholders (including policy makers, regulators, operators and industry) to adopt policies and strategies that will promote ICT opportunities for women and girls.
Women are the bedrock of our societies. They are the pillars of strength in every family and community. Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched. Women and girls are denied access to basic health care and education and to equal opportunities at work. They face segregation in economic, political and social decision-making and often suffer violence and discrimination.
This situation is unacceptable and must be addressed with all the means available to us."
Aprii 26 2012 will mark a celebration of Girls and Women in ICT and Cisco is certainly ramping up globally to be part of that celebration. ITU members will be hosting events around the world "where girls and young women are invited to ICT companies and government agencies to appreciate the opportunities the ICT sector holds for their future."
Check out the fantastic women and girls featured at the ITU Girls in ICT portal:
So where will you be on April 26 2012?
I can say: "Geek is Chic!"

BANGKOK, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. conservationists are applauding a "smart" program helping protect tigers, elephants and other wildlife species in the forests of Thailand.
Initiated in 2005 in Thailand's Western Forest Complex, the Smart patrol now serves as an example of how such systems can effectively protect wildlife, officials of the Wildlife Conservation Society said Tuesday.
The aim of the Smart system -- a suite of patrol methods and measurement technology -- is to incorporate science into enforcement efforts in Thailand's western forests, one of the last strongholds for tigers and elephants in Southeast Asia, Anak Pattanavibool, Director of WCS's Thailand Program, said at a wildlife tracking symposium in London.
"Protecting Thailand's tigers and elephants against poachers -- many of whom are armed and well-financed -- is a risky business," Pattanavibool said. "The measurable benefits of the Smart patrol to guide enforcement actions have given park guards validation and added confidence in their duties."
Elements of the Smart program include adequate numbers of patrol staff, good equipment and support, high-quality training, and standardized law enforcement monitoring which utilizes the newly developed SMART software.
The software is a free, publicly available application that tracks wildlife poaching activity.
Smart patrols have achieved a significant degree of success since the program's implementation, the WCS said, enabling a force of more than 500 rangers to effectively patrol an area some 2,500 square miles.
"Smart is playing a vital role in saving wildlife in Thailand, where the most recent data reveal that tiger numbers and distribution may actually be increasing as a result of targeted patrols," Pattanavibool said. "The system has become a model approach for protecting wildlife across Southeast Asia."

King of Fighters 97 Download
The King of Fighters 97 is a 1997 fighting game produced by SNK for the Neo Geo arcade and home console. It is the fourth game in The King of Fighters series. It was ported to the Neo Geo CD, as well as the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn in Japan only. The Saturn requires the same 1MB RAM cartridge utilized by the previous game. KOF '97 follows the same format as the previous KOF games, but introduces two distinct playing styles which the player can select before choosing their team: Advance and Extra.
KOF 97 Advance mode is based on the previous game in the series, KOF '96, but features a revamped Power Gauge. Instead of charging the Power Gauge, the Power Gauge is now filled whenever the player strikes the opponent or by performing Special Moves. The player can stock up to three Power Gauges. The player can use one stock of the Power Gauge to perform a Super Special Move or enter a "MAX" mode, in which the player's defensive and offensive strength are increased. Performing a Super Special Move while in MAX mode will make the player perform a more powerful Super Special Move.

Norwich Police Officer 1st Class Jonathan Ley is working to get back to his job.
Norwich Police Officer 1st Class Jonathan Ley is working to get back to his job.
"Every week's a little bit better," Ley, 38, said. "I've got a little more to go."
Ley was shot four times when Norwich police responded to a report of a despondent man with a gun the afternoon of Jan. 7 at the Cedar Glen Apartments on Cedar Street. Jason Razzino, 30, who shot Ley, committed suicide after an 11-hour standoff.
The Police Commissioners Association of Connecticut gave Ley an award for meritorious service at an event Wednesday at the Grassy Hill Country Club in Orange.
Ley received a plaque from the association and a proclamation from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy recognizing his achievement.
He also received a standing ovation from the crowd at the ceremony.
"His service was extraordinary, putting himself in harm's way," said Peter Torrano, president of the association.
Ley still doesn't know if his injuries will let him return to work.
With other Norwich officers, Ley was outside Razzino's second-floor apartment when Razzino opened fire with a semi-automatic rife through a kitchen window.
Razzino was enraged when Norwich police foiled his plan to commit suicide by cop, Norwich Police Lt. Christopher Ferace said. "Unprovoked, he ambushed a team of officers. Almost immediately, Jon was hit."
Bullets hit Ley in the neck, shoulder, left hand and leg. Other shots hit him in his body armor. Although they didn't penetrate, they caused trauma, he said.
Other officers with him helped save Ley's life, he said.
"I'm here today and I'm doing better and getting strong because of them," Ley said.
The officers helped him down a stairwell and lay him down to begin treating his wounds. Ley, who is a trained EMT and has received combat training in the Coast Guard, coolly gave instructions.
"As I talked to them, my teammates took care of me," Ley said. "They put me down. I unfortunately passed out, even though my training told me to stay conscious as long as possible."
Ley regained consciousness a few minutes later.
"I realized I was unfortunately in the same spot," he said.
It was difficult for an ambulance to get to where he was lying, so Ley decided he had better go to the ambulance.
"I told them I could walk," he said. "They said I shouldn't, and I said I should, using a few choice words."
He stayed awake the entire time to the hospital. He then awoke two days later in Yale-New Haven Hospital.
Despite being shot, Ley remained professional, Ferace said. "There was no panic in him."
"He stayed calm," said Norwich Police Officer Christopher Merrill, who was with Ley when Razzino opened fire. "I was happy to have him in the stairwell that day."
"Several of us helped bring him to medical attention," Officer Kyle Besse said. "He was in rough shape."
"Everybody in that stairwell that day took their training seriously," Merrill said. The training let the officers overcome whatever fear they felt. "You kick into autopilot and do what you were trained to do."
Ley wore a brace on his hand at the award ceremony. He still doesn't have full use of his hand, he said. He is getting an operation on it in a month or two. If it goes well, he said he hopes to return to work in the fall or winter.
In the meantime, he has applied to be promoted to sergeant.
"I'm walking and talking," Ley said. "I don't think this is something I can't overcome."
Ley said he goes to physical therapy three or four times a week.
"Yale has been phenomenal," Ley's girlfriend, Jaime Maheu, said.
Ferace said having a Norwich officer receiving the award was bittersweet.
"We wish he wouldn't have to be recognized for this."
"He's got a long road," Besse said. "It sounds like he's going along it well."

Hello, this is Kelly Ford, a test lead on the IE team and a big keyboard user of Internet Explorer.
In an earlier post, Aaron Sauve provided The Keyboard Lover's Guide to IE. The IE community has given us quality feedback on our keyboard model during the beta cycle, and in beta 3, we have tried to bring more predictability and consistency with earlier IE versions in response to this feedback. In beta 3, we have made some changes in hotkey assignments, added some new hotkeys, and changed keyboard behavior on web pages back to match earlier versions of the browser in most cases.
Bringing Back Menu Hotkeys
In beta 3, we've reverted hotkeys so that the hotkeys used to access menus remain the same from previous versions of IE. Specifically, this means that Alt+a will once again access the classic favorites menu, Alt+t the tools menu and Alt+h the help menu.
New Hotkeys
We've added several new hotkeys in this beta. Here's a list of what has been done:
Activate the Home button on the Command bar
Activate the feeds button on the Command bar.
Activate the Tools button on the Command bar.
Activate the Help button on the Command bar.
Open the Favorites Center set to display favorites.
Bring up a list of open tabs.
Changes in Hotkey Behavior for the Favorites Center
We have changed the way hotkeys for favorites, history and feeds work when accessing the Favorites Center. Ctrl plus the appropriate key (i for favorites, h for history and j for feeds) will open the Favorites Center set to the view indicated by the hotkey. Ctrl+Shift and the appropriate hotkey will open the Favorites Center in pinned mode. A second press of the same Ctrl+Shift hotkey combination will close the Favorites Center when in pinned mode.
Giving Keyboard Control to Web Pages
We've heard from many web developers and users about keyboard behavior in IE7 with respect to web pages and applications that specify hotkeys. Beta 3 gives priority back to web pages for all keyboard assignments with the exception of Alt+d. This will set focus to the Address bar, even if you use it as an AccessKey in a web page. This will address situations where AccessKeys like Alt+p were going to the Page menu on the Command bar or Ctrl+q was opening Quick Tabs instead of marking e-mail as read in Outlook Web Access.
Staying in Touch
Feedback from the IE community is very helpful to us. Please let us know your thoughts on the keyboard behavior in beta 3. Also, we have an online help topic that lists all of our IE shortcut keys.
