Government entity issuers of tax-exempt bonds affected by Hurricane Sandy may qualify for additional time to file certain returns related to tax-exempt bonds, qualified tax credit bonds, and specified tax credit bonds.
Following recent disaster declarations for individual assistance issued by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, affected government entities in covered disaster areas in Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island will receive filing and payment relief.
Affected issuers who are required to file a Form 8038 series information return or a Form 8038-T in connection with an arbitrage payment, with a due date between late October and Jan. 31, 2013, may file such returns and make such payments up until Feb. 1, 2013.
Affected issuers may also file such returns and make such payments up until Feb. 1, 2013, if the records necessary to make such filing or payment, the conduit borrower, or the bond counsel or other profession upon whom the issuer relies to make such filing or payment are located in a covered disaster area.
The IRS will abate any late-filing penalty that would otherwise apply. The IRS automatically provides this relief to affected issuers located in covered disaster areas. Issuers need not contact the IRS to get this relief. However, affected issuers should clearly indicate on the top of the return that such late filing or payment is the result of devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy.
In addition, an affected issuer required to file a Form 8038 series information return or a Form 8038-T in connection with an arbitrage payment, due between late October and Jan. 31, 2013, may request authority to file a Form 8038 or Form 8038-T after Feb.1, 2013, by requesting an extension under Revenue Procedures 2002-48 and 2005-40, which provide guidance on how issuers may request extensions of time to file Form 8038 series information returns and waivers of penalty associated with a late arbitrage payment. Affected issuers should request relief in accordance with these revenue procedures and clearly indicate that such late filing or payment was the result of devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy.
In addition, a Form 8038-CP authorized to be filed by an affected issuer between late October and Jan. 31, 2013, but filed thereafter, will be immediately processed upon receipt.
So far, IRS relief for affected issuers applies to the following covered disaster areas:
- In Connecticut (starting Oct. 27); Fairfield, Middlesex, New Haven, and New London Counties and the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and Mohegan Tribal Nation located within New London County;
- In New Jersey (starting Oct. 26): Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Cumberland, Essex, Gloucester, Hudson, Hunterdon, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, Salem, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren;
- In New York (starting Oct. 27): Bronx, Kings, Nassau, New York, Orange, Putnam, Queens, Richmond, Rockland, Sullivan, Suffolk, Ulster and Westchester;
- In Rhode Island (starting Oct. 26); Newport and Washington Counties.

I was reading through the code of StackOverflow's new SQL Object Mapper. And I noticed at the bottom of the SqlMapper.cs there is some code that I had never seen before. After reading some of the documentation on MSDN and a tutorial on MSIL this feels a little over my head.
As a professional .NET developer (6 years), should I invest time to learn this? What is the advantage of understanding the ILGenerator?
I hope I'm not confusing things and the question is clear.

This tool will let you use a GUI to visually see, edit, and add name/scope definitions to your color scheme files. It is written in AutoIt3 - but there is a compiled EXE if you don't have AutoIt3.
The only caveat is that this tool only reads JSON format files. It was too tedious for me to figure out how to read the Plist format with AutoIt3 - whereas there was a ready made function library for JSON which this tool uses to read and write. So you must first convert your color scheme into JSON via PlistJsonConverter Plugin or AAAPackageDev Plugin and then open that JSON file with this tool.
Download: SublimeJSONColorSchemeEditor.zip - includes compiled EXE and also source .au3 files if you would like to run/edit with AutoIt3.
Update: Please re-download to update to v1.08 - bug fixes, major speed improvements, and window can now be resized.

If you do, you might want to flip to page 58 of the November 19 issue, which is currently on newsstands. On the bottom of the page, in the section titled "What's Online?" you'll find two pictures of Dierks Bentley - one showing him with long hair, the other with short hair. Next to that , you'll find a blurb written by Music Editor Chris Neal, which reads:
Dierks Reaches OutWild.
The mother of an autistic child recently posted an open letter to Dierks Bentley on her blog, momnos.blogspot.com. She recounted how her son, Bud, was confused by the fact that Dierks has long hair in some of his videos and short hair in others. Dierks' wife, Cassidy, read the post and e-mailed her - and then Dierks himself sent Bud a package including a one-page handwritten letter explaining how he got his hair cut a year ago. The mother reports that Bud is now comfortable with seeing both the long- and short-haired Dierks. "I believe that The Dierks Bentley Hair Crisis of 2007 is officially over," she writes.
Initially, I was thinking that as an homage to Country Weekly - and as a tip of the Stetson to anyone who might surf over to my blog after reading the article - I should use a country music reference for the title of this post. I considered using Miranda Lambert's "Famous in a Small Town," but then it dawned on me that I'm not sure you can consider yourself "famous" if most people don't know your real name. And, certainly, few people in my small town would connect this particular blurb to me.
But, still and all, it is pretty cool, don't you think?

A blueprint for high-volume, high-quality lung cancer screening that is detecting cancer earlier—and helping to save lives
Undertreating childhood obesity may be tied to payment codes, and specifically the perception of pediatricians that the ICD–9 diagnosis code for obesity (278.00) is not covered and that using it will result in nonpayment of services, according to Sarah Hampl, MD, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine.
Hampl and colleagues conducted a large retrospective study of claim data for 8,404 children that revealed that the increased health care utilization and charges that have been reported for obese adults are also present for obese children. The researchers compared the utilization and expenditures for healthy-weight patients, overweight patients, and patients with diagnosed and undiagnosed obesity.
Even if the child is obese, the diagnosis code is still not used. In the study, in only about 42 percent of claims did the provider use the diagnosis code for obesity when it should have been applied based on the child's body mass index.
In the current coding situation, "insurers cannot see that more claims for obese children should be submitted. It is a shame, but it appears that the child must develop a comorbidity that can be coded for before the visit will be reimbursed," says Hampl.
"Given the likelihood that obesity and its comorbidities will track into adulthood, the costs for obese children will continue to climb," says Hampl.
She recommends spending money now "to identify comorbidities in obese children to try to treat them and the underlying obesity in the hopes that further morbidity, disability, and death will not occur."

Agharta wrote:I've seen plenty of reviews showing that the 140W TDP i9 parts are capable of consuming much more power than that at stock speeds and when over-clocked the power consumption jumps dramatically.
Seemingly gone are the days of medium range over-clocks that don't push the power consumption too much.
Here is one review:
As I say, it's improved over time as the chips and firmware support has improved. The problem at launch is that most people (reviewers and us builders) get very little time to test and optimize pre-launch, Normally 10 - 14 days would be seen as an absolute win, although in the case of that last launch it was more like 5 - 10 days if you were lucky!
In an ideal world, we'd all get plenty of time to tweak and test our overclocks and even stock settings. I realised after launch that the settings both advised to me by Intel and the tweaking I did prior to launch, didn't take it quite as far as it would go voltage wise. Since then I've found myself able to bring the core voltages down a bit more where we can and the average temps I'm seeing have certainly improved.
We expect to see changes to the BIos auto & default settings too over the first few months and this tends to translate into improved temps too.
For instance, on the launch chips I was seeing a 140w at stock idle raising to 160w under load and maybe 170w post minor overclock.
The i9's were more like 165w idle, 175w pushed and 190w minor overclock.
I think myself (and most other people I spoke to pre-launch) were running about 10% higher voltage wise than we'd use on the current chips, if only because the first few batches wouldn't overclock without it but that has improved over time, bringing the temps down along with it.
On top of that these chips use a poor quality thermal compound under the heat-spreader which means the temperatures are higher than they need be which negatively impacts the ability to cool them quietly whilst keeping temps in check.
I was interested this week to see a news site delid and replaced the TIM on one of AMDS and the was no thermal difference. Here's to hoping that Intel pay attention...
I do wonder how relevant most CPU reviews are for DAW usage in terms of power usage and temps.
Well, maxing out your ASIO, should pretty much fully load your CPU too in a perfect scenario. Running a CPU torture test should at least give you a worst case scenario, although you'd rarely if ever hit it.
Usually it seems to be video encoding software is used when testing power consumption which typically can load all threads fully and continually leading to figures which I think a DAW will struggle to match as the load tends to have more peaks and troughs which leads to lower average power consumption and temps.
Yeah, that would be the perfect scenario! :)
On top of that some of this video software uses AVX instructions which pushes the chip much harder than most.
My early testing on the i9's was avx based and it melted the system. I had a long conversation with a few developers who laughed at my concern regarding AVX and audio. So, my concern was lessened by those chaps, and to be fair I've had zero negative feedback with AVX issues since launch.
Pete, have you done any testing of DAW power consumption?
I'll do it in general when loadtesting with AIDA or OCCT, but I haven't done a daw specific test with it for quite a few years.

That was my concern, I wasn't sure if you'd have the invoice details or would only have the linked personal details. Well located!
I'm still using the dark power PSU's, although the newer version, with the improved fan, so that should be fine.
The noise levels on the cooler (bequiet) and the ARchon you have there are similar too, so also shouldn't be a concern.
Case fans on yours are the Fractal basic model that ships with it. Reasonable noise levels with them, but not overly efficient. I'd certainly look to upgrade them for an i9 build, as they won't hold up to shifting that much heat.
Depending on the chip you go with, the two options I'm going with currently are:
Bequiet Silent WIngs 3 (same as the PSU)
Nanoxia N.N.V
I use the Bequiets up to around the entry level i9. Above that, I use the N.v.v's.
The Bequiets are quieter in general and move a fair amount of air.
The N.V.V's are about as loud as your current Fractals but easily shift twice as much air, so preferred for cases that need to vent efficiently.

Nicolas Anelka's disciplinary hearing into his alleged anti-Semitic 'quenelle' salute is to start today.
A three-man independent regulatory commission will hear the case which is expected to be completed by the end of the week.
West Brom's French striker faces a minimum five-match ban under the Football Association's new anti-discrimination rules if found guilty. Anelka has been charged by the FA with performing an alleged anti-Semitic gesture during his club's match against West Ham on December 28.
The 34-year-old has denied the salute was anti-Semitic and requested a personal hearing.
Anelka was charged last month with an aggravated offence after making a gesture that was judged to be "abusive and/or indecent and/or insulting and/or improper".
The aggravated breach was that it included "a reference to ethnic origin and/or race and/or religion or belief".
UEFA's French president Michel Platini said at the weekend the European body would take a "zero tolerance" approach to the quenelle adding that "any display of racism on a UEFA pitch will be sanctioned and penalised".
UEFA is dealing with a similar case with a gesture allegedly made by Belgian player Omar Rahou in a European futsal championship last month.
The quenelle has been described as an inverted Nazi salute and its invention has been credited to French comedian Dieudonne M'bala M'bala, a friend of Anelka's, who was been prosecuted in France for anti-Semitism.
Anelka maintains his goal celebration was an anti-establishment gesture in support of Dieudonne.
Last month, Dieudonne was banned from entering the UK after the Home Office made him subject to an exclusion order.

Officially, California's high-speed rail project is going ahead with construction, scheduled to start late next year. But in reality, the project is in deep trouble, amidst critical reports, escalating cost estimates, revelations of poor governance and the departures of key supporters from the board overseeing the project.
The project is a zombie -- still walking, but almost certainly dead. Here are five reasons why:
1. The state budget
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Backers of high-speed rail thought they were doing a smart thing in 2008 when they convinced voters to pass $9 billion in general obligation bonds for the project. Such bonds are paid back out of the general fund, which gave high-speed rail priority and a measure of financial security. But the persistent state budget crisis has turned that logic on its head. The $20 billion necessary to pay off those bonds, if they are ever sold, will have to come from other programs or taxes. As a result, high-speed rail has political enemies across the spectrum among advocates for programs funded through the general fund, and among those who oppose higher taxes.
2. The federal budget
The project already has more than $3 billion in federal funds. But it needs at least another $17 billion in federal funds for completion, according to various reports. And the feds have no dedicated revenue source for high-speed rail. And the feds are cutting spending because of debt concerns.
3. Obama administration impatience and high-handedness
The federal government has insisted on building the first stretch of the high-speed rail project in the Central Valley, instead of highly populated areas of California that would make more sense. The feds also want this done quickly, even though the funding plan and governance structure of high-speed rail are unsettled.
4. Poor governance
The board overseeing the high-speed rail authority has not proven itself up to the task of overseeing this project. There have been conflicts of interest. Many board members lack relevant expertise. The Legislative Analyst's Office recommended bringing the project inside Caltrans as a way of saving it.
5. Overpromising
Ridership estimates by the project are woefully inflated, according to independent assessments. The environmental and economic benefits of the project also have been overstated.
All that said, high-speed rail in some form might make sense for California. But the state first needs to kill the zombie project it currently has, and come up with a new plan.

Here are just a few of the top make-up artists, A-listers and magazines who chose Kryolan to help them create incredible make-up artistry.
"If you are a perfectionist and demand a product that will never let you down, as I am, then there is one brand that has stood the test of time during my 23 years as a professional make-up artist - and that is Kryolan. My favourite product above and beyond everything else is Dermacolor. I literally have one in every single set bag - and never do a movie without them. They are great for anything, even High Definition, as they blend so flawlessly and will get you out of a whole load of potential trouble! When you work with faces that can fit the size of a movie screen, with NO Photoshop available, you really do need an excellent brand behind you. I truly believe that Kryolan is that brand."
"I have been using Kryolan products as an invaluable part of my kit for over 30 years in the field of make-up and hair for movies, TV and theatre. I just do not travel without it. Now the range is even bigger and better with some fabulous new and exciting products for both glamour and character make-up work as well as all my old favourites. It can only get better and I am and always will be a Kryolan fan."
"From Hollywood to Bollywood, from the Milka cow to James Bond: make-up from Berlin captured the movie: [...] What makes the company for 67 years so successful, is the customer service, and their customers are professionals [...]. Kryolan - this is the paintbox of God, every skin tone on earth can be mixed in Berlin."
"I have been a fan of Kryolan Professional Make-up products and its team since my career began. There is always something new to learn and I love being inspired by the new innovative products. I cannot live without the selection of Kryolan foundation range especially the HD micro foundation cream. Amazing results every time!"
"Kryolan Professional Make-up is one of my staples. I remember how excited I was when I got my first Dermacolor Mini Palette because all of my teachers and mentors had them in their kit. That palette was like a merit badge telling everyone I was finally a professional make-up artist! I'm extremely tough on products and demand high quality and durability. Kryolan meets these criteria brilliantly and is unsurpassed for ALL media formats. I am also a bit of a product junkie, so I'm always excited by the steady stream of new and innovative make-up they introduce."
"What makes me love Kryolan Professional Make-up is the quality of their products. Their make-up makes my skin look healthy and beautiful on the outside, while giving me the confidence on the inside. My must-have Kryolan products are High Gloss and Eye Shadow because they are long-lasting and the colors are vibrant."
"Being part of the Kryolan International Make-up Team to create make-up looks for the new corporate design of Kryolan Professional Make-up was such an honor. It was one of the most inspiring and fun photo shootings I have ever done. I really enjoyed it and appreciate that Kryolan made me feel free to create my best work. Glamour Glow was a must-have product for these looks."
"During all these years in the bodypainting industry Kryolan Professional Make-up has always been an integral part of our make-up bags. The consistently high quality, both in the brush, sponge and airbrush area of Kryolan products make it indispensable for us. With the new line of Aquacolor Plus Kryolan will complement its product range to another highlight."
"I have been a patron of Kryolan Professional Make-up for my personal make-up on and off screen appearances from the time I began my career. In continuance to this, Kryolan has been a partner on I AM She, Miss Universe India pageant since its inception in 2010. It has an amazing range of products to suit every skin type across countries, and their commitment to quality is what makes them an outstanding brand! Way to go Kryolan!"
"I was introduced to the Kryolan Brand many years ago. In 1987 I became the Designer/Make-up Artist Supervisor on Star Trek and remained there for the next 18 years. The many colors and shades of Kryolan Aquacolor was the single most important cosmetic that I depended on day after day. Aquacolor gave me the quality, durability and coverage I needed; it would always hold up during a long day of filming. Kryolan Professional Make-up, along with Aquacolor, has become a very important part of my career."
"Kryolan is based - just as we do with GLOSSYBOX - in Berlin. But not only that unites us: Quality is more than a promise, or a slogan for Kryolan. Our customers enjoy every time they find one of the great Kryolan products in their GLOSSYBOX. We share this enthusiasm, as we appreciate the professionalism of Kryolan enormously and therefore we are very happy to cooperate with this company."
"I love working with Kryolan make-up - it's great for what I do because of the range of colors and products allowing for many possibilities of expression. They have everything that I need for bodypainting and it's always a great pleasure working with the Kryolan team."

Guardian CIO on how innovation and collaboration work together
When Frank Wander took over as CIO of The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America, he was faced with several challenges in his quest to transform IT. At the time, innovation and collaboration could have seemed like long off goals -- but instead, Wander used them as the basis for turning the IT department around.
In this CIO Innovators video, Wander discusses his philosophy for creating a culture of innovation, which comes down to building a "culture of collaboration."
"People can make a difference," he says, adding that he knows the model works because everyone is contributing to the company's success.
More on IT innovation
Guardian Life transforms IT by putting knowledge workers first
"We don't try to measure [innovation]," he explains. "The business is measuring its goals, and if we are working well together and deciding on all the right things to do … all of this has to show up on the bottom line. At the end of the day, we are growing and the results are the results we need to achieve as a business. We are getting the business results from a collaborative model where people are sharing in the outcome."
In a recent profile of Wander on SearchCIO.com, he delved further into the human side of the innovation equation, acknowledging that the knowledge worker is central to success.
"We have a set of management practices in corporate America that are tied back to the industrial era. We still use the term human resources, as if our people are interchangeable resources like steel or energy," he said. "People are the furthest things from an interchangeable part. In the area of knowledge work, it is the amount of knowledge that they've acquired over time and how well they are able to fit into social working environments that make them productive."
Read the full transcript of this video below:
Guardian CIO on how innovation and collaboration work together
Chris Gonsalves: I'm SearchCIO.com executive editor Chris Gonsalves. I'm here at the CIO Synergy event, New York City talking technology innovation as part of our SearchCIO.com CIO Innovator series. Joined now by Frank Wander, senior vice president and CIO at Guardian Life Insurance Company. Thanks for joining us today Frank.
Frank Wander: Yeah. Glad to be here. Thank you Chris.
Chris Gonsalves: With all this discussion of innovation and business leadership, I'm curious what you see as the role that the CIO plays in effecting innovative change in their organization.
Frank Wander: You know, at the end of the day we know and understand technology. And because we've grown up we understand what is possible. We see what's coming, we understand how to use it, and we can see capabilities because of how close we are to this that our business partners wouldn't be able to see.
So what we do at Guardian is we have a highly collaborative environment where we work with the business, we discuss what's possible, and when there's an idea that resonates with our business partners and they want to make it a part of the strategy, then we go forward and then we build that together.
Chris Gonsalves: Help out your colleagues and competitors here play academic for me.
Frank Wander: Sure.
Chris Gonsalves: How do CIO's make themselves more effective? What's the key? I mean, they need culture of innovation, right? So how do they build the culture of innovation and how do they evangelize business use of technology?
Frank Wander: I would say that we have a culture of collaboration. You know, we have at Guardian, there's really three corporate values. People count, we do the right thing, we make a difference. That's a relatively good foundation to build the collaborative environment on.
So we can take IT and we can embed it in the business. And with IT embedded in the business my folk know what's going on in the business and they understand what technology's available. They have a seat at the table, and then we can have, or they can have, a very good discussion about what's possible, make sure it is centered into the strategy in the plans.
The good thing is, because we have an environment where it's embedded in the business, we don't really run IT projects. We actually run business projects where we share joint ownership in the outcome. And with that level of buy-in we get all the right people working on it and we make it happen. So I think you know, we want people who know and understand technology, they know the business well enough to be a business partner to bring things to the table that makes sense for business folks and we've been able to do that effectively.
Chris Gonsalves: So once you establish a culture of collaboration what is the best method to manage it and to measure the effectiveness of this innovation that you worked so hard for?
Frank Wander: Well you know, look we don't go out and try to measure innovation, right. The business is really measuring its goals. So we have sales goals and all the typical goals you would see in a company. And if we are working well together and we are deciding on all the right things to do some of which could be increasing operational effectiveness, some of which could be innovating a new solution for the business, some of which, some of which could frankly be building the many products and services that we built to bring to market.
All of those at some point have to show up in the bottom line. You can try to look at the ROI of every single individual thing we do, but it's a mix. Some go a little bit beyond what we thought, some may be don't achieve everything we thought, but at the end of the day, we're growing. What we are deciding on doing collectively frankly is achieving the results that we need to achieve as a business. So I would say that's the parameter. Are we getting the right business results from a collaborative model where everybody you know is sharing in the outcome? And I think in fact we do. And I think the model works great.
Chris Gonsalves: We talked about a number of different technology here and the earlier session Cloud, Mobility, Social networking. What are the technologies that are on your radar and should be top of mine for CIO's who themselves are trying to get some business success under their belt?
Frank Wander: When you look at technology changes and evolution, they come in major waves. And as those major waves show up, we can go back to mainframe computing, right, with the advent of OS/360 in 1964, we can go to the desktop PC and local area networking. We can take a look at the internet revolution that really allowed companies to put their front ends out to their customers and ultimately have social networking solutions with them. This is the next wave, mobile ubiquitous computing, and at the end of the day it is going to produce a lot of business value like every other one of these revolutions. I couldn't tell you where it ends up. These tend to go for seven to eight years of innovation and another seven to eight years to digest them.
The reality is, you've got to be in it to win it, right? And we're in there, we tend to go with the trend. We use it, we evolve with it, and we build business solutions that make sense over time. We're not here to predict the future and pick winners or losers. We're in the game, we want to be able to use it in a very finely collaborative way where it makes sense. And we don't make the big bet, right? That we're going to pick the winner and bet the ranch on. That never makes sense in this business. There's no picking the winners, never has been.
Chris Gonsalves: We've been talking to Frank Wander, the senior vice president CIO at Guardian Life Insurance Company as part of our SearchCIO.com CIO innovator series. Frank, thanks so much for chatting with us today.
Frank Wander: That's it. Chris, it's been great. Appreciate you having me on and I very much enjoyed it. Thank you.
Chris Gonsalves: For all of us at SearchCIO.com I'm executive editor Chris Gonsalves. Thanks for watching.

Dear all,Thank you very much for the information and the explanation. They are very much appreciated it.I found that the Arduino Due has 12 bits for the input (4096).However what I haven't been able to figure out if with the Arduino Due can I change the reference voltage to lets say 1 V?Thank you very much,Luis
That is done by using the analogRead() function (analogRead() reference). Unfortunately for your needs this is too granular giving 5000mV/1023 = 4.9mV per step by default so it might be able to tell you something was present by returning a 1 or a 0 only.

A while ago, someone asked me to make a lesson on a character from the Fruits Basket manga series by Natsuki Takaya. Of course I wanted to fill the request, and to tell you the truth, I did. The problem is, I forgot all about the lesson, and therefor I didn't upload it. So, for my fifth lesson of the day, I will upload a tutorial that will teach you "how to draw Ayame", step by step. Who is this manga character anyway? Well, in the Fruits Basket series, he is the snake of the Chinese zodiac. Ayame is thought to be around twenty eight years old, and he is the only man that has the longest hair when he is in his human form. He is also well recognized by his long whitish gray hair, and his extraordinary green colored eyes. Although he is very pleasant to look at, if you was to actually talk with, or hang around Ayame, you would definitely feel depressed once you've left his company. He is also the older brother of Yuki, and with each waking day, Ayame makes sure that he becomes the most annoying person in the world when it comes to antagonizing Yuki, and Kyo. Another annoying thing about Ayame Sohma, is the fact how he thinks that the world world revolves around him. What I mean by that is, he is into himself way too much, and he shows it by displaying an abundance of confidence. I never really got into the manga myself, but I have been reading a few chapters here and there, and I have to say, the series is interesting. This lesson goes out to all you Fruits Basket fans who always wanted to learn "how to draw Ayame", step by step. I only have one more lesson left for you guys, and when you see what it is, you will be roaring for a pencil. Adios my brethren, and be sure to have an awesome drawing Sunday!

Australian national team coach Peggy Liddick gave an IG an update on the state of her squad of veteran and newcomers as they prepare for 2013 competitions ranging from the Australian Youth Olympic Festival to the world championships.
Liddick, a native of Nebraska, has guided the Australians to a consistent place among the world's best teams since she took over as head coach following the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games.
Liddick competed in gymnastics and track-and-field at the University of Nebraska before she embarked on her coaching career. As a coach in the U.S., her most successful gymnast was Shannon Miller, whom she coached with Steve Nunno at Dynamo Gymnastics in Oklahoma. Miller's accolades included world all-around titles in 1993 and 1994, five medals at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, and gold medals on balance beam and in the team competition at the 1996 Atlanta Games, among others.
Under Liddick's leadership, the Australian women's team qualified for the last four Olympic Games, where it placed seventh at the 2000 Sydney Games, eighth at the 2004 Athens Games, sixth at the 2008 Beijing Games and 10th at the 2012 London Games.
The Australian team in London included three members of Australia's sixth–place team at the Beijing 2008 Games - Lauren Mitchell, Georgia Bonora and Ashley Brennan – along with Emily Little and Larrissa Miller. 2008 Olympians Daria Joura and Olivia Vivian also tried for spots on the squad for London.
In world championships competitions, Australia won its only team medal, a bronze, in 2003. Australia's other worlds finishes under Liddick include fifth in 1999, sixth in 2006 and 2010, seventh in 2001, eighth in 2011, and 11th in 1997 and 2007. The next world championships will take place in Antwerp, Sept. 30-Oct. 6, 2013.
Also on Liddick's radar for 2013 is the sixth Australian Youth Olympic Festival that will take place Jan. 16-20 in Sydney. Inaugurated in 2001 as a legacy event of the 2000 Sydney Games, the 2013 edition will include 17 sports in which 1,700 athletes from 30 countries will compete. (Though originally held every two years, the competition will now take place every four years.)
IG spoke with Liddick this week to assess the state of her team and forecast its prospects for the coming year.
IG: Your team in London, and the contenders for your team in general, included lots of veteran talent. How difficult was it for you to choose among so many experienced gymnasts who had served the team well in previous Games and other big competitions?
PL: It was really nice that the returning veterans wanted to still be in their gyms and part of the national team. I felt the selected gymnasts were the ones who completed the needs of our team and showed the most consistency in training and competitions, so that was the main criteria for their selection. It is always difficult come selection time, but I feel the gymnasts and personal coaches are well informed and were aware of their standings at any time.
IG: Of the London squad, which gymnasts will continue in 2013?
PL: I have not yet asked for a full commitment to the national team. I wanted the team to have enough downtime and I have given them the responsibility to let me know when they are ready to begin training again for national team assignments or for the 2013 World Championships and beyond. So I will know more by the January training camp.
IG: Has Daria Joura indicated if she will give 2013 a try? If so, what do you think she could contribute to the team?
PL: Dasha is still in and out of the gym, keeping her feet wet. Again, she has not committed either way and I feel she can always contribute to our team when she is fit.
IG: It's also interesting that Olivia Vivian not only spent four years competing in the NCAA (for Oregon State Univ.) but tried for London, and has since won the Level 10 clubs title. What do you think keeps her going?
PL: It is simple. Olivia is one of those gymnasts who absolutely loves the sport, loves performing and has endless energy. She is always a pleasure to have around and her positive spirit is infectious.
IG: Heading into 2013, who are some of the younger girls, and girls coming back from injury such as Georgia Simpson and Nikki Chung, whom you expect will impact your team?
PL: Georgia is training well and has added some new skills to her program. Nikki is still recovering from ACL knee reconstruction from May and finishing up her Year 12 studies. The new young gymnasts are looking good and are excited to begin their journey. I am not ready to single any one out yet, but we just finished a camp and lots of good work was being produced.
IG: How much do you think or hope the Australian Youth Olympic Festival (in January 2013) will boost the motivation of your younger gymnasts?
PL: The AYOF has provided many young gymnasts a platform to break into the international scene. This one will be no exception.

How To Build a Customized Wall Unit
When it comes to living space, everyone seems to want more. But what if you have the opposite problem? Our Jane-in-training, Ellen, had just bought her first home and had no idea what to do with her living room. She wanted to use the space to entertain as well as for storage. When it came to deciding what road to take, she was lost.
Too often furniture serves only one purpose, and Ellen needed two! For this reason (and the excuse to use power tools), we plunged headfirst into building our own custom shelving unit complete with built-in seating.
Interested? Building your own furniture is not as daunting as you think, but it does require a lot of steps and an abundance of patience. To get your head around this project, first think about what it is you really want out of a piece of furniture and check out catalogs and stores for ideas. This is your chance to build exactly what you want, but you have to know what that is!
So, what are ya' going to build?
The first step of this project involves choosing a pattern. You can either go with ours or another pre-existing pattern pulled from a book or the Internet, or draw your own.
Woodprojects.com and Plansnow.com have patterns for tables, chairs, chests, even toys for children that start at just a few dollars. Information for projects includes drawings, a materials list and sometimes, instructions on how to use power tools, such as a router. Opt for one that is relatively simple if this is your first project.
Determine how much wood you'll need for your project
The shelving unit we built was a total of 15' long. If you have less wall space or just want a smaller unit, adjust your measurement accordingly. Or you can always opt for not including all components. Either way, use your imagination and fill your wall with a fun and functional design element.
We used four sheets of birch plywood for this project, chosen for the wood's light color and nice grain pattern. After we determined the cut list, we cut all our boards to size. Make sure you measure at least twice before making any cuts.
The best way to cut full sheets of plywood is to either set up sawhorses, use a work table or use crates on the ground (as we did in this project) for support. Not only do you want to support the board you are cutting, you should do the same for the piece that will be cut off to prevent pinching and stalling of the circular saw's blade.
Jane Tip: If you are using a saw, don't forget your protective eyewear and mask! If it's been a while since you worked your circular saw, take some time and practice until you can cut a straight, even line. If you aren't comfortable using a saw, your local home improvement center will make all of the cuts for you.
Measure twice, cut once!
Next, mark your cuts. Do this one at a time since as you cut, the wood that turns into sawdust, "kerf", accounts for that 'lost material' in your overall measurement.
On plywood sheet #1, mark your first cut by measuring 11.75" in from the edge of the board. (See diagram) Do this in two or three places from top to bottom to be sure that the line you trace is straight. Then, use a straight edge and place it on the marks. Once it's aligned, draw your mark.
Straight-edge anyone?
For the next cut, use your straight edge as your guide for the circular saw. If you're right-handed, measure the distance from the cut line of your saw base (indent for 90 degree cuts) to the edge of the base guide.
Ours was 5½". We then added 5½" beyond our line and drew more marks. This is where we clamped our guide. Before you cut, hold your circular saw next to the guide and ensure that your blade will in fact line up on your line. If so, you're good to go!
Steady as she goes!
Start your circular saw by depressing the 'trigger' on the handle. Some models have safety locks that you must first depress prior to pulling the trigger, so read your manufacturer's instructions first. Be sure to let the blade start spinning first before cutting into the wood. Go slowly and steady for the full length of the plywood and be sure that when you get to the end that you continue to cut straight through the plywood until your saw is out on the other side.
You're such a cut-up
Continue in this manner making all your cuts to match the cut list. You'll cut several of your longer 'strips' of boards into shorter lengths per the cut list. Since these will be shorter cuts, they'll be much easier but the overall cut process is still the same as Steps 3 through 5.
Smooth out the edges
Once all your plywood is cut, give each board a good sanding. Since you're working with birch plywood, we recommend starting with either 80 or 100 grit to get the edges smooth and just lightly sand the face (broad part) of the board. And don't forget to wear your protective eyewear!
Put your iron to a better use
Apply veneer tape to the edges of the plywood that will be exposed. This hides the raw edges of the plywood and makes it look neater and more polished. You'll simply need to place the strip over the edge to finish and mark the length, then you can cut it either with scissors or a razor. Edging comes in iron-on form, which is what we used. Peel and stick edging is also available if you want a quick alternative to the iron.
Clean up your edges
Once dry, it's time to trim the edging. Use a razor and slowly go over the parts that hang over the plywood, using the edge of the wood as your guide. Just be sure that you don't cut into the wood!
Or, another option is to go with power. There is a tool called a laminate trimmer which is basically like a mini-router. You'll use a pilot flush cut bit which basically is just a router bit that has a ball bearing on the end to guide your cut—it rolls along the plywood while the blade of the bit cuts off the excess veneer to make it flush with the plywood.
Repeat steps #8 and #9 for all exposed sides of each of your board pieces.
Jane Tip: We didn't edge the back sides of the boards as they'll be facing the wall. We also left the edges that would be attached directly to another board since they too wouldn't be visible in the end project.
Sanding, one more time!
Now comes the time for finish sanding. We know it seems like a lot of prep work, but the beauty is in the details! You'll want to be sure that your finished piece is smooth and shows the wood grain well.
Put a 150-grit sanding disk on your random orbit sander and sand all your pieces, including the newly-applied edging. Be sure not to press too hard on the corners of the edging when sanding—you don't want to pull it up. But even if you do, you can re-heat with the iron to melt the glue and adhere again, or use a dab of wood glue. Once you've sanded with 150 grit, give it a light final sand with 200 grit.
It's all coming together: assembly
Now, you should have all of your wood cut, sanded, stained and ready to assemble! This is a great opportunity to do a "dry run" with your pieces, just to see how the arrangement will look.
Side towers first
Starting with the S-shaped towers, line up one of your 2.5' x 11.75" boards (the length or run of the shelf) with one of your shorter 18.5" x 11.75" boards (the height or rise). You'll want the rise to be on the inside of the run (see diagram) - this will allow the boards to support the majority of the weight, not the just the fasteners (screws).
Glue for extra stability
Adhere your pieces with wood glue to give your piece of furniture added stability. Be sure to use stainable wood glue so that it doesn't show in the final piece. Don't use too much, though! You don't want any spill over.
Pilot holes help avoid split wood
Then, hold flush and pre-drill pilot holes first. Next, insert your 1 5/8" screws to attach boards. We used two screws for each joint (where the boards were attached).
An interesting 4th side
Now you will insert the pipe into the open side of your assembly. We purchased 1/2" plumbing pipes with threaded ends in the plumbing section of our local home improvement store.
We used 1/2" floor flanges for each end of the pipe. These allow you to screw the pipe right into the flange which has four holes for screws to attach to the wood. Use 3/4" #8 wood screws with big enough heads that won't pull through the holes on the flanges. You're using the shorter 3/4" screws to be sure that they don't go through the other side of the wood!
Align the pole unit halfway back from the front edge of the boards and approximately 1/4" in from the edge. Attach the top and bottom with your smaller wood screws. Be sure you measure both the top and bottom to ensure that your pipe assembly is perfectly plumb (straight up and down).
Complete the towers
Now continue adding boards per #12-15 above and then inserting the poles until you have your two shelf units.
Side box assembly
Repeat steps Step 12 through 14, but you'll be using boards for each side and for the top and bottom. Basically, you're creating a rectangle with the boards. You'll then take the pipe assembly unit as Step 13 and place this in the middle of your newly-created box. This will help to provide stability as well as strength to your unit and will tie it in with the two main towers. Repeat to make two of these units.
Bench seat assembly
Take your lengths or runs (top and bottom pieces) and place the two side supports (or risers) in place. Glue and attach with screws through pre-drilled pilot holes. Then, mark equal lengths in for your two interior support boards. These will be the same size as the two end boards.
Be sure to mark the top and bottom to be sure that your boards are plumb. Place a bead of glue on the top and bottom, push board into place, (you may need to tap into place with a hammer) and then screw through the top and the bottom of the unit into the divider. Repeat for the other divider.
Putty up the gaps
Check for any gaps where the boards meet. You'll want to put some stainable wood putty in these areas either with your finger or with a putty knife. Let dry and sand smooth with #150 sandpaper or finer.
Almost there!
You are almost done! The only thing left is finishing! We chose a natural wood stain finish to enhance the wood grain but not change the wood's color.
Brush on the stain in the direction of the wood grain being sure to get all areas but don't let the stain pool. As birch is a hardwood, it isn't necessary to use wood conditioner, however you may wish to if you're concerned about uniformity of your stain. Usually wood conditioner is only necessary on softer woods such as Pine or when you're using a darker colored stain.
After the stain dried according to manufacturer's directions, we applied three coats of water-based Polyurethane being sure to allow ample drying time in between each coat and doing a very light sanding with 200-grit sandpaper in between each coat to smooth out.
Installation—stable does it
Start by placing your two towers where you want them in your room against the wall. Then place your bench assembly in between. Be sure that the location is correct. Locate a wall stud behind the tower units using a stud finder. Mark their location. Next, using an L-bracket (see diagram), screw one side into the stud with the other side of the L on the underside of your shelf. Then, screw it into your shelf. You may want to use two L-brackets per tower to ensure stability. Be sure that both towers are tight to your seating unit which you will attach next.
A place to sit
Now, attach your seating unit to the towers to create one cohesive and stable unit. Use 1-1/4" screws and screw from the inside of your bench unit directly into the side of the tower unit (per the diagram). Use about three or four screws per attachment location.
Create your padded bench seat
Cut a scrap piece of plywood to the same size as the bench top or a few inches shorter on the ends as we did here to allow for drinks to be set down. Then take your foam and place it on top of the plywood, followed by batting and finally - the fabric.
Using a staple gun, stretch the fabric tight over the foam and batting and attach to the bottom of the wood. Once all sides have been attached, place your padded seat on top of the bench assembly. Attach from the underside of the bench assembly with 1 ¼" screws - be sure you don't use screws that are too long or they're likely to poke a guest in the rear-end!
Voila! Custom-Made Furniture!
After that final coat has dried, you can your new piece of furniture. We brought Ellen's room together with a few inexpensive decorations, such as a rug, pillows and picture frames, all of which can be interchanged for a quick makeover sometime down the road.
Building the shelving unit turned Ellen from a Jane-in-training to a full-blown Jane! The unit allowed her to store and display books and photos, while the benches gave her room to entertain. If you are looking for a piece of furniture that just doesn't seem to exist, we encourage your to build your own. Because it is custom-made, it will be the perfect size, shape and color. Now, if only clothes shopping was that easy!

The Indian Ocean is the second most important tuna fishing ground in the world, with approximately 24% of the world's tuna catch. Fishing capacity in the region is already estimated to be more than what the fish stocks can sustain in the long term. Yet, many coastal states are allowing more and more vessels to enter the fisheries, using various types of gears including large-scale driftnets.
The Case Studies in our Rainbow Warrior Indian Ocean Expedition report raise a number of concerns, and highlight the urgent need for better management of fishing fleets in the region.
Download Rainbow Warrior Indian Ocean Expedition 2012 - Summary of Findings
More than 60% of the world's tuna is caught in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. Industrial fleets from distant water fishing powers take the overwhelming majority of this catch. As demand for tuna grows, that proportion is increasing. Due to the lack of monitoring, control and surveillance capacity, foreign fishing vessels use the high seas to launder fish out of the region. Key areas are becoming safe havens for illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing activities.

|Peshtigo Times, 06OCT1971, Sec D, Pg 8
"Hale One Of Fires Heaviest Losers
The largest loss of property during the fire, with the exception of the Peshtigo Company, was sustained by Levi Hale, who lost the Peshtigo House and part of its furniture, several dwellings and contents, hay, wagons, carriages, horses and cattle totalling [sic] an estimated $30,000.
Hale was a builder who rented several home in Peshtigo to other families and had built the Peshtigo House in 1859 and ran it for seven years.
After having lost all this property, he became a farmer and stock raiser on the property later known as the John Bell farm or Reber's property. It is now owned by Ray Pavelin. The Hale road was named after the land's original farmer -- Levi Hale.
Hale, born in Jefferson Co., N.Y. and grew up in St. Lawrence Co., came to the Menominee River during the fall of 1841. he spent the next year prospecting in the copper mines of Lake Superior. In 1846, his traveling brought him to Peshtigo where he followed lumbering and various kinds of work until he built the hotel.
Hannah Windross became his bride in 1856 and they had two daughters, Martha and Katherine. She was an immigrant from England and her brother, Dr. William Windross started a medical practice in Peshtigo in 1877.
The youngest girl, called Kittie by her family, was twelve years old when the fire struck and her daughter, Mrs. Cecil Engels, of Marinette recorded the story of that family's flight from the flames.
According to that account, the quiet of the Sunday supper table was interrupted Oct. 8, 1871, when Hall suddenly excused himself and went unstairs [sic] to peer at the fire from the west window.
|Peshtigo Times (Peshtigo Fire Centennial Ed) 06OCT1971, Sec D, Pg 8
Hannah immediately began packing the dresses she had made for an anticipated trip back to her homeland. She also grabbed a pail of over a thousand buttons which she had saved as a little girl.
But her preparations were interrupted by sudden shouts from Hale.
'Get to the creek or be burned!'
The mother and the children ran to the creek carrying what they could only to drop it when crossing the creek.
Fire was everywhere and the creek outlining the barn was their only escape.
They sat that night in the creek with large pans from the kitchen over their heads for protection from cinders. Occasionally they lifted them to catch a breath of air.
At last morning came, and they emerged from their all-night bath, wet, cold and hungry. They went to the stone basement of what had been their home. Hale built a bonfire from the remains of the back fence to dry their wet clothes.
Meanwhile he went to the village to discover all his buildings were destroyed. His consolation was that, while many of his friends had lost members of their family, he had lost none.
Descendents [sic] of Levi and Hannah Hale now living in the area include Mrs. Cecil LeBlond Engels, Marinette, Mrs. William J. Smith, Menominee, Mich., a great granddaughter, and Franklin Hodgins, Marinette, a great grandson."

Delirium in older patients in an emergency room setting can foretell other health issues. But according to a new study published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the condition is frequently overlooked because of a lack of screening tools in emergency departments.
An estimated one in 10 older adults seen in hospital emergency departments in the United States experiences delirium, but this acute change in mental status is often not recognized. Researchers from the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana University conducted a systematic review of existing studies on delirium in emergency departments and found that neither completely validated delirium screening instruments nor an ideal schedule to perform delirium assessments exist there.
The emergency department is a unique environment with significant time pressure challenges. Emergency department physicians typically don't have long-term relationships with patients; they are often unaware of patients' baseline mental status as the health care team tends to the emergency.
"Fewer than a third of older adults with delirium in the ED are being recognized, and we need to improve that detection rate," said Regenstrief Institute investigator Michael A. LaMantia, M.D., MPH, who led the systemic review of delirium screening. "Patients sent home from the ED with undetected delirium have six-month mortality rates almost three times greater than their counterparts in whom delirium is detected. Unrecognized delirium presents a major health challenge to older adults and an increased burden on the health care system.
"Patients with delirium will have hospital stays that are more than twice as long - 21 versus nine days," said Dr. LaMantia, who is also an IU Center for Aging Research scientist and assistant professor of medicine at IU School of Medicine. "They will also have a greater probability of being discharged from the hospital to a long-term-care facility and a much higher probability of developing dementia than individuals who do not experience delirium."
Delirium is a state of confusion that can develop suddenly and usually goes away in days to weeks if treated properly, according to the American Delirium Society. The society estimates that more than 7 million hospitalized Americans experience delirium annually.
Dr. LaMantia, who is a geriatrician, said further work is needed to develop and validate emergency department-specific screening instruments and to determine how often to administer screenings in the rapid-paced environment. He also encourages those accompanying an older adult to the emergency department to serve as patient advocates by passing along baseline mental status information.
"The ED doctor is unaware of what the person looks like in daily life," he said. "They aren't seeing a complete set of colors. A family member or friend can help fill in the colors and gradations of colors. Nothing can replace having someone who knows the patient telling you that person's baseline."

Today, we are highlighting one of the State Archives' exciting endeavors: audio digitization.
Since 2003 the State Archives has digitized thousands of audio recordings in the Florida Folklife Collection. The goal of this effort is to preserve Florida's folk culture and make it accessible to educators, researchers, and Florida folk enthusiasts around the world. The Collection includes interviews, field recordings and performances gathered by folklorists from the Florida Folklife Program and recordings from the Florida Folk Festival dating back to 1954.
Audio recording formats in the Folklife Collection consist of reel-to-reel tapes, cassette tapes, digital audio tapes (DATS), compact discs (CDs), and digital audio files. They are kept in a temperature and humidity controlled environment in the Archives' stacks to minimize deterioration.
To bring you these recordings, the original source materials must be transferred from their analog medium to a digital file. This process requires legacy audio equipment, like reel-to-reel tape machines and cassette decks, to play the audio recordings, and new digital technology, such as analog-to-digital converters, high quality sound cards, and audio computer software to capture the sound digitally.
The resulting digital audio file is an uncompressed 96 khz 24 bit WAV file. This file specification is a national archival standard, chosen for its ability to capture all frequencies in the human hearing range.
These high quality files are called "preservation masters" and are stored without undergoing any editing whatsoever. The idea is to preserve all sonic qualities (good and bad) of the original recording. Some recordings undergo minor editing for listenability when making access copies (e.g. CDs) for users, and mp3 versions for the Florida Memory website and Florida Memory Radio.
