Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is Congress's directive to schools receiving any federal funding to eliminate discrimination based on disability from all aspects of school operation. It states:"No otherwise qualified individual with a disability shall solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance." Since Columbus Community School District is a recipient of federal dollars, we are required to provide eligible disabled students with equal access (both physical and academic) to services, programs, and activities offered by our schools. Section 504 is a civil rights statute and not a special education statute. Therefore, it is the responsibility of regular education staff and administration to implement those practices and procedures necessary for a school to fulfill this law's requirements. It is also important to understand that schools receive no additional funding to implement Section 504 accommodations. At each building, the responsibility for insuring Section 504 compliance rests with the building principal or principal's designee. Please note that when working with disabled students, Section 504 serves the same purpose as ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).
Section 504 Handbook
It is the policy of the Columbus Community School District not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, political party affiliation, socioeconomic status, or marital status in its programs, activities, or employment practices as required by the Iowa Code. There is a grievance procedure for processing complaints of discrimination. If you have any questions or a grievance related to this policy please contact the district's Equity Coordinator, Ms. Kristina Murphy, Elementary Principal, 1212 Colton Street, Columbus Junction, IA 52738, 319-728-6218 ext. 1090, [email protected].

Menard Finishes 43rd Under the Lights at Daytona International Speedway
Paul Menard started the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway from the sixth position, but was relegated to a 43rd-place result on Saturday evening after experiencing mechanical issues early in the 161-lap event. Menard quickly moved up to third at lap eight and radioed to crew chief "Slugger" Labbe that the Rheem/Menards Chevrolet was handling to his liking. After settling into position, the field began to spread out single-file and Menard remained in the top three until lap 24 when his car caught fire forcing him to go to the garage. After accessing the damage, the team diagnosed the No. 27 with a terminal engine issue, ending Menard's night early. The Eau Claire, Wis., native was credited with a 43rd -place finish and now sits 20th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standing heading into New Hampshire Motor Speedway.
Start - 6 Finish - 43 Laps Led - 0 Points - 20th
"We had a really fast Rheem/Menards Chevrolet tonight, and it's really unfortunate our evening ended so early. It is a tough break for our team, but we'll keep our heads up and go to New Hampshire Motor Speedway next weekend hoping for better results."
Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser Team Finish Third
at Daytona International Speedway
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser team collected their eighth-consecutive top-10 finish after taking the checkered flag third under the lights at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday evening. Starting from the 26th position, Harvick dropped back in the field during the early laps of the 400-mile event to avoid the troubles synonymous with superspeedway racing. As the race progressed, the California native waited for the right opportunity to begin working his way toward the front of the field, which came at lap 101 when he drove up to the sixth position. Following a fuel-only pit stop on lap 127, Harvick returned to the track in the fourth position and held a spot near the front of the field, working his way up to as high as second. The Richard Childress Racing driver was shuffled around in the pack during the green-white-checkered finish, but maintained ground crossing the finish line third. Following his 10th top-10 finish of the season, Harvick remains fourth in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start - 26 Finish - 3 Laps Led - 0 Points - 4th
KEVIN HARVICK QUOTE:"I thought we were in a good spot. The whole thing on the restarts is just getting your line to form. Everybody on our Budweiser Chevrolet team did a great job. We were able to hold Jimmie (Johnson) door-to-door until the exit of turn two, but on both of those restarts the No. 14 and No. 15, and whoever was behind them. just couldn't get our line formed up. All night it seemed like the top line would form pretty fast and those guys were able to get going a lot quicker than the inside line."
Jeff Burton Locks in a 16th-place finish in Kwikset Chevrolet at Daytona
When the initial green flag waved for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday night, Jeff Burton and the No. 31 Kwikset Chevrolet were lined up 17th. Right from the start, Burton and the Luke Lambert-led team elected to drop back through the field and maintain a position far enough away from the lead pack to avoid trouble, but close enough they could quickly get back and race with the leaders. For the early portion of the 161-lap race, Burton was running in the 30s with few handling issues. Through the first three caution periods, Lambert and Burton agreed to make pit stops for four tires, fuel, minor air pressure and chassis adjustments. During a caution on lap 130, Burton stayed out to lead a lap while others hit pit road as soon as it opened. Just as Burton was starting to make his move towards the front, the caution came out on lap 149 for a multi-car wreck on the frontstretch tri-oval. This brought out the red flag for eight minutes and 53 seconds, before the yellow was displayed to restart the race with Burton in 28th with 27 laps remaining. Burton dodged cars spinning in front of him with five laps remaining while he was up to 19th place. This set up a green-white-checkered finish and, as usual at a restrictor-plate race, mechanical mayhem ensued after the white flag was waved. Burton worked his way up to 16th and maintained his position until crossing under the checkered flag. Right after he took the checkers, he was caught up in a multi-car wreck damaging his Kwikset Chevrolet, but walked away unharmed. With his finish of 16th, Burton and team remain 21st in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series driver championship point standings.
Start - 17 Finish 16 Laps Led - 1 Points - 21st
"This wasn't the finish this Kwikset team deserved tonight. We played it safe there for most of the race and were just getting wound up to go to the front when that caution waved with five to go. That set up the green-white-checkered-finish and it just wasn't enough time to get to where I know that car could have run."

Paul, a journalist with Guitar World and Slam magazines in the US, went with his family in 2006 to live in Beijing because of a job opportunity that came up for his wife. Like so many westerners who go to China (myself included), Paul finds expat life in China to be the stuff that dreams are made of. Big in China is his chronicle of taking full advantage of almost every second he lived in the Middle Kingdom.
Paul, his wife, and kids knew hardly anything about China before they went to live in the country. They had no language skills, no real cultural background, and no idea what they were getting in to. It was particularly interesting how Paul's children, normal suburban kids from New Jersey, adapted to life in China. Not too surprisingly, the kids found things easier in a lot of ways than the adults did.
Paul and his family were provided a nice living space on the outer edges of Beijing in a community where other foreigners living long-term in China were placed by their companies. I saw countless foreigners come and go when I lived in Xi'an, but I didn't have much of an understanding of how such expat communities are set up in Beijing. I appreciated reading about how the expat life goes down - where their kids go to school, interaction with people from all over the world, etc. - for many expats in China's capital. It's much different than what I saw in Xi'an.
A majority of Paul's book focuses on the band he starts in Beijing - Woodie Alan. Woodie is a talented Chinese musician that Paul is fortunate to meet early on during his time in Beijing. Woodie introduces Paul to other Chinese musicians that Paul can start a band with.
Although Paul had been a writer for Guitar World magazine in his previous life living in New Jersey, he had never really transformed himself in to a proficient musician. He could jam out no problem, but he had never refined himself in to a guitarist who could play in a band or pull the music that was in his soul out to the surface. Paul had been more interested in interviewing and writing about the likes of Gregg Allman than playing guitar or singing like him.
Watching Paul develop confidence as a musician and, ultimately, as a person with his Chinese band mates was a really cool thing to witness. China was a land where Paul felt he could try anything and didn't feel as though he had to worry about making mistakes or failing.
The following passage from page 143 really captures the sense of fun and excitement and experimentation that Paul developed the longer he stayed in China:
This passage is what China is all about. My friends and I in Xi'an used to use the expression "livin' the dream" when experiencing what Paul is describing here.
I can completely relate to this notion of "livin' the dream" and Paul's story of developing confidence through experimentation in China. I, like Paul, had a few "Big in China" moments while in Xi'an.
Long-time readers of my blog and friends of mine will remember that I too was part of a music project in China: The Xi'an Incident (an explanation on the name). I went from being a truly terrible guitarist who couldn't keep time or play scales worth a lick when I went to China in 2006 to playing lead guitar at live shows and on a studio album in 2007.
The Xi'an Incident formed after a friend of mine from London who I met in Xi'an, Natan, and I wrote a few songs together in the early months of 2007. We took a few ideas he'd been working on and a few chord progressions and ideas that I'd messed around with and melded them together into nine original tracks.
Working with Natan on the early stages of our songs was something I'll never forget. Natan is a great musician and a particularly gifted song writer. Watching him weave together the fabric of a song - lyrics, chord progression, chorus, etc. - was a thing of beauty.
As we were writing and reworking these songs over the course of a few weeks, we met up with friends of ours to see about getting a band going. Will, a drummer from Boston, and Zhang Ke, a bassist from Xi'an, were co-owners of a jazz bar in a central part of Xi'an. Natan and I brought what we'd worked on and played what we had with Will and Zhang Ke. Being formally trained musicians with a background in jazz, our rock tunes were a piece of cake for Will and Zhang Ke to pick up quickly and add a lot to.
After about a month of song writing and jamming, Natan, Will, and Zhang Ke, and I played a few shows at the jazz bar and recorded an album in the summer of 2007.
Indulge me and let me post the following two videos. They're my favorites from the show that my brother sat in on drums for (Will was in America visiting and my brother, a drummer, happened to be visiting me in China) that we played in front of a full bar of about 75 people:
The first pages of the introduction to Paul's book talk about playing music on TV in Fujian Province in front of millions upon millions of TV sets. That is big in China. The music experiences I had in Xi'an are pretty small potatoes in comparison. But they are my big moments in China and I'll always treasure them.
I haven't played tons of guitar since this period of my life and have not played in a band since The Xi'an Incident. I'm not sure I ever will rock out like this again (admittedly, I've got a bit of time left to see if this will be the case). These memories I have of developing confidence in my playing, writing songs, and playing shows - experiences that Paul writes about in great detail in his book - will always mean the world to me. I have no doubt that these experiences had positive impacts on my life well outside the realm of music as well.
Back to wrapping up the review of Paul's book, I enjoyed it a lot. I really only had two issues with it.
The first issue I have is the cover. It just looks, well, hokey. I heard some hype about Big in China several months ago on the Chinese blog and Twitter-sphere. I remember looking it up online and, after seeing the cover, thinking that Paul looked like some sort of Neil Diamond-esque musician (ie. lame). I decided to pass.
This first impression I had was completely wrong and I'm glad I eventually picked up the book. Paul jammed out to raging psychedelic Allman Brothers and Grateful Dead-inspired tunes all over China. He's no Neil Diamond! I wish the energy of those bands that inspire Paul had been captured in the cover. For better or worse, I didn't bother reading this book based upon my initial negative first reaction to how it looked.
My second issue with the book is with Paul's countdown to leaving Beijing. Paul loved living in Beijing. That was obvious. It's completely understandable that he was sad about his eventual departure from China. But his anxiety about his leaving Beijing felt like it began halfway through the book and only intensified as the book drew to a close. The last several chapters are all about how hard it was to leave. Leaving China after living there for years is difficult; I know this from experience. But this leaving China theme was too dominant in the book, in my opinion, and wore on me.
All in all, Big in China is a fun, quick read. Paul lived life to the max for almost every second of his time abroad. I'd especially recommend this to someone who is on the fence about going to teach or live in China for a few years. After reading Paul's book, you'll have a tough time saying no to "livin' the dream" in China.

Louisiana has become the population center for many species of colonial wading birds. Yet there has been a conspicuous lack of research into wading bird population trends in our state, and to the quality of their foraging habitats. My dissertation established the importance of Louisiana's wetland and aquacultural habitats to the success of wading birds in the southeast. I compared the quality of natural wetland foraging habitats with that of several crawfish farms, and found strong evidence that the expansion of the crawfish industry was a primary factor explaining long-term increases in species that exploited this new aquacultural habitat.
The initial results of this research were
published in the Auk and in Conservation Biology.
I plan to focus next on seasonal changes in prey availability,
and hope to examine the spatial and temporal patterns of food
availability as part of the larger problem of how food
limitation affects reproductive success.

Wallace, a Coordinator star and former Gym Leader, is bringing his Wallace Cup event to the shores of Sinnohs Lake Valor. This Contest opportunity gets Dawn excited about entering a Contest again, but she's still uncertain about what she needs to change about her style to win. As Zoey said, Dawn has to concentrate on showing off her Pokémon—but how?
Meanwhile, the local media is sniffing around the area, hoping to get a shot of Wallace. Wallace just wants to avoid the spotlight and relax with his Milotic, but Dawn and her friends accidentally bump into him anyway. Even though it's his day off, Wallace still offers to take a look at some of Dawns Contest moves. That makes Dawn nervous, so Ash offers to let her strut her stuff in a friendly battle instead.
After Wallace sees Dawns Piplup go a couple rounds against Ash's Buizel, he suggests that Ash use Buizel to enter the Wallace Cup, too. As for Dawn, Wallace is impressed by her obvious hard work, but he reminds her to take time to play with her Pokémon and not worry about making every move dramatic. Then Jessie, using her latest Coordinator persona, tries to impress Wallace—but Milotic ends up impressing everyone with its moves, which also help send Team Rocket on their way. A day with the famous Wallace is already a fabulous treat, but there's one more surprise in store: May is coming for a visit!

Researching Challenged ("Banned") Books
alnotroc The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) explains the difference between a "banned book" and a "challenged book" as:
"A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. The positive message of Banned Books Week: Free People Read Freely is that due to the commitment of librarians, teachers, parents, students and other concerned citizens, most challenges are unsuccessful and most materials are retained in the school curriculum or library collection."
The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) maintains information on which books are challenged and why and regularly publishes this information in the Banned Books Resource Guide. Information to be included in the Resource Guide is often initially published in the Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom where there may also be an extensive discussion of the events surrounding a challenge. The Resource Guide may be ordered from the ALA Store, or it may also be available for consultation in your local public or school library collection. It is not duplicated online.
For some online resources, consult the following:
- Newsletter on Intellectual Freedom already noted. Check especially the listings under "Targets of the censor."
- Some of the more well-known banned and challenged books appear in a joint online project with Google Book Search, Celebrate Your Freedom to Read - Explore Banned Books.
- The National Council of Teachers of English reports censorship challenges received by its Support for the Learning and Teaching of English office.
- A University of Pennsylvania Library site, The Online Books Page, has links to challenged books in the public domain.
- Created by a university librarian, The Forbidden Library: Banned and Challenged Books provides brief information on challenged books, with some references to bannings (and burning at the stake!) in the 16th century.

Odd DNS replies from 10 nets and RFC1323 impacting firewalls
Last Updated: 2012-05-16 01:21:08 UTC
by Dan Goldberg (Version: 6)
Reader Bob wrote in reporting seeing increasingly frequent incoming DNS replies on UDP 53, with valid DNS answers, but coming from source addresses in the 10.x.x.x/8 range. The responses appear to be from the Internet Roots to DNS servers that are querying the root.
Anyone else see this kind of behavior?
Over the past week another couple of readers have written in reporting issues accessing the ISC web page. The SANS NOC reports that RFC-1323 timestamps were getting scrubbed by our firewall to prevent information disclosure, but the checksum wasn't being updated. The packet was subsequently dropped by the end device.
This appears to be impacting users using Bluecoat web proxies. We will have more to post on this topic throughout the day.
RFC1323 describes TCP extensions used to improve performance over high delay networks and high speed networks
These include Scaled Window Options, Round Trip Time Measurement (RTTM), and protection against Wrapped Sequence Numbers (PAWS)
Scaled window options are implemented by bit shifting the 16bit window field into a 32 bit field by adding an option indicating how many placeholders to shift (or multiply by) to get the real window size. Recall the window size is how many bytes a node can buffer before it needs the transmitter to slow down.
TCPDump displays this option as WS=6 for a factor of 6 in the TCP options
Wireshark displays this option as for example: "Window Scale: 7 (Multiply by 128)"
Round Trip Time Measurement (RTTM), or TCP option 8 contains a Timestamp value or TSval set by the sender with its sending time, a 32 bit value, and Timestamp Echo Reply (TSecr) which is only valid if the accompanying ACK TCP flag is set. This 32 bit value echos a time stamp value set by the other or remote host in a TCP session. These values are tracked over time to estimate and adapt to changing traffic conditions.
PAWS provide a simple mechanism to reject old duplicate segments that might corrupt an open TCP connection. It uses the same timestamps in RTTM, The basic idea is that a segment can be discarded as an old duplicate if it is received with a timestamp less than some timestamp recently received on this connection.
Here is what Bluecoat has to say on the topic: https://kb.bluecoat.com/index?page=content&id=FAQ1006
PAWS is looking for the timestamp to be advancing and is used to keep as much data in transit as possible between communicating hosts.
The risk to data transport in this case is if two hosts or their intermediaries can't negotiate a common method of communicating with or without these options. This can happen with firewalls, as in our case, or incompatible endpoints. It is interesting to note that Windows implemented these options in Windows 2000, but did not enable them by default until Windows 2008.
SANS Internet Storm Center Handler
Some References I used to look into this today:
The RFC: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1323.txt
This is by no means an exhaustive article on this topic, it is just a beginning, I will look to other handlers to fill in the gaps as well as look into it more as time goes on.
Another discussion that is pertinent is IP options versus TCP options. Staying in IPV4 land for this discussion
As the names state IP options and padding are in the Internet Protocol header of a packet, they are the last 32 bits in the Internet protocol (v4) header and TCP options are contained within the TCP header.
Using the following page as a reference: http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/ip.htm#Options. IP options deliver a handful of IP features that in general are not used. Most IPv4 headers begin with version (4 in this case) and the IHL the header length in 32 bit words or 5 as the minimum and default. If options are set then that number varies depending on the options set. For the most part these options are not used, IP options include features like source routing which could permit undesirable results. Each option is described in detail on the reference page above.
TCP options are more central to the operation of the protocol the IP options are. IP options add optional features, where as TCP options make the protocol work. A list of TCP options is available here: http://www.networksorcery.com/enp/protocol/tcp.htm#Options Option 8 contains the windows scaling discussed above. Other options include Selective Acknowledgement (opts 4 and 5) and Option 3 Window Scale Factor (discussed above and in RFC1323. These options extend and enhance the TCP protocol operation.
In conclusion, both TCP and IP offer different options which can enhance the protocols. Understanding them can impact operability and availability of a network.

As longtime fans of both Macklemore and metabolism pathways (weird combo, we know, but whatever), we're pretty damn excited about this "Thrift Shop" parody by Wilson Lam. You should be, too, especially if you're studying bioenergetics.
"One of the awesome things about the [intermediary metabolism] course at [The University of Ottawa] is that a song contest is held where the students are challenged to write a song about the TCA (Kreb's) Cycle," writes Lam, a biochemistry undergrad at uOttawa. "I decided to also add a little glycolysis in here as well, just because I figured that it worked well."
Anyone who's grappled with memorizing the various enzymes, intermediates and transformations of the citric acid cycle will appreciate how useful songs like this can be, especially when they're set to tunes as wickedly infectious as "Thrift Shop." Bravo, Wilson — I wish I'd had this video at my disposal when I was an undergrad.
Here are the lyrics:
I'm gonna pop some carbs
Only got a lil' glucose in my pathway
I - I - I'm lazy, lookin' for some CoA
This is frigging awesome
[Verse 1]
Now I got some glucose; hell yeah, I'm in that prep phase
I'm so pumped; doin' work with hexokinase
Glucose to the glucose with a number six phosphate
PGI to that fructose 6-phosphate (dayum)
ATP, ADP, phosphofructokinase E,
1,6-bis, FBP, adolase, two GAP;
GAPDH with some PGK & PGM,
3-P to the 2-Phosphoglycerate, and then
PEP to Pyruvate! (glycolysis)
[Verse 2]
FAD, NAD bout to go and grab some hydroG
Pumpin' out all those substrates for some work yeah that's that energy
shuttlin' through that mito-C like nobody's business
what you know about oxidation? biz-NITCH
I'mma do it TCA, I'mma do it TCA
No for real - movin' on - can I have some A-CoA? (thank-you)
Citrate synthase from that CoA to that citrate
Aconitase, step two; isocitrate
I had some NAD+ (plus), I used some NAD+ (plus)
I made some NADH (Hhhhhhhh), and alpha-ketogluterate (oh snap)
dehydrogenase complex, plus some CoA
CO2, NADH out; succinyl CoA
then I take that GDP, add a P (GTP), hold on wait
CoAs gone, people be like "Aw, he got the succinate"
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
What you know about intermediary metabolism? (not much)
What you knowin' about what's goin' on in your skin? (uhhhhh)
I'm diggin, I'm diggin, I'm lookin' for some FAD
Step 6, succinate dehydrogenase, that's the key (zing)
Movin' on, reducin' that FAD up to FADH2
fumarate, fumarase that's the enzyme now go shift your gaze
to malate (okay); step 8, malate dehydrogenase
finish off; NADH, oxaloacetate (ahhhhh)
[Hook x2]
[Bridge x2]
That's how Kreb's cycle goes
If you didn't doze now you know
This is how TCA flows
BCH actually doesn't blow

Once again, the Delino's chasing that dragon called Fantasy Football. After promising to cut it down this time around, I find myself in three leagues and staring at a draft TODAY.
I've done well in the past, even winning one league thanks to a late round pick up of Antonio Bryant (and getting points per reception). But after my travails with a mostly inherited fantasy baseball team...
I just don't trust myself.
So anyone with mob or bookie connections or any insider knowledge, speculations, or paranoid theories, pass them along. And I promise to share a percentage of my winnings.

Elephant Boy1997 Action/Adventure | Drama | Family
The unusual amalgam of documentary maven Robert Flaherty and pure-entertainment producer Zoltan Korda resulted in the 1937 money-spinner Elephant Boy. In his screen debut, eleven-year-old Indian-born Sabu plays the title character, a mahout named Toomai. When his father is killed by a tiger, Toomal is left alone and unprotected and not long afterward loses his beloved elephant to a sadistic driver. Stealing back the pachyderm and heading into the wilderness, Toomal stumbles across a herd of wild elephants, which the British government has long been seeking. With visions of a huge reward in his head, Toomal offers to lead the authorities to the elusive herd -- whereupon the dramatic portion of the story gracefully gives way to the documentary portion. More intriguing than entertaining, Elephant Boy was nonetheless one of the most successful films of its kind.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Time Beyond Imagining - A Brief History of the Colorado Plateau, Part 2
Look at a picture of one of the most famous geologic localities in the world, the Grand Canyon in Arizona: in this case, from the South Rim, in the vicinity of Desert View on the eastern edge of the park (we were on the North Rim during our recent trip, but this view works better for today's discussion). Sedimentary layers stacked thousands of feet deep, recording hundreds of millions of years of deposition in shallow seas, river floodplains, and desert dune fields. But take a closer look: there are two utterly separate stories revealed here. One story is told by the horizontal layers making up the upper walls of the canyon. Their story will be told on a different day. Concentrate instead on the tilted layers visible in the bottom of the canyon.
The upper layers of the Grand Canyon, the Paleozoic rocks, are about 4,000 feet thick. The tilted layers below, the Grand Canyon Supergroup, are closer to 12,000 feet thick, some three times thicker. How in the world did more than two miles of sedimentary layers get tucked into the bottom of the Grand Canyon, between the very ancient metamorphic rocks and the flat-lying Paleozoic rocks?
The basic story is as follows. Following the formation of the Mazatzal/Yavapai mountains in early Proterozoic time, erosion reduced the mountains to a nearly flat, featureless plain (see my previous post on the Oldest Rocks). At various times the land subsided or sea level rose, leading to the deposition of thousands of feet of sedimentary rocks: sandstone, shale, limestone, and some occasional volcanic flows. As in the older rocks, few fossils are found; life on the planet consisted mostly of single-celled organisms. Exposed land was barren of life.
The southwest part of the continent was stretched about 700-800 million years ago by forces related to the break-up of the supercontinent Rodinia. The crust broke into a series of fault blocks that tilted the sedimentary rocks, and raised a series of mountain ridges that would have resembled the faulted mountains of central Nevada and eastern California (the Basin and Range Province). These mountains may have been thousands of feet high, but as in previous events, erosion brought the mountains down, and the layers of the Grand Canyon Supergroup disappeared across the region, except in a few places where downdropped blocks protected the sediments from erosion. Only a few ridges, a few hundred feet high, projected above the plains. This surface was later inundated by rising Paleozoic seas.
So, much of the story of the Grand Canyon involves what is missing more than what is present. Some 500 million years elapsed between the Mazatzal mountains and the formation of the layers of the Grand Canyon Supergroup. Another 250 million years is missing before the deposition of the Paleozoic sequence. These gaps in the rock record, indicated by buried erosional surfaces and abrupt changes in the rock types (metamorphic topped by horizontal sediments; tilted sedimentary layers topped by horizontal sediments) are called unconformities. The two unconformities in the depths of the Grand Canyon are among the most famous in the world.
I love these particular rocks...they are difficult to access, only by long steep trails, and I have only stood on them once. But it was my first extended geology field trip; a five day backpack down the New Hance Trail and up the Grandview Trail in 1976. I came out of the canyon convinced that I wanted to be a geologist. I was able to place my hand on the unconformities, I understood for the first time the idea of the earth's crust as a history book, I touched for the first time some of the oldest fossils on the continent. For icing on the cake, I even saw the Northern Lights for the first time in my life while we were camped on Horseshoe Mesa!
What is next? Life finds a way....the Paleozoic story of Grand Canyon and the Colorado Plateau!

I've never seen the northern lights any farther south than Virginia City, NV - it sounds like it was a truly remarkable experience.
Does the unconformity have any name besides "Great Unconformity" as Powell named it?

The automotive industry appears to be rebounding at a faster rate than most (if not all) experts may have anticipated. Many OEM's and their suppliers are attempting to boost production to replenish inventories and support renewed demand for their products. Reduced inventories throughout the supply chain are creating demand that is difficult to replenish at the rate required. Short runs to bootstrap the "pipeline" are taking their toll on OEE rates but also provide the opportunity to identify new improvement initiatives.
General Motors and Toyota have both announced that increased demand for their product is anticipated for the next few months. The increases are exciting for all involved, however, the ramp up to recovery may be more painful to achieve for some. How is your company performing? Those with fixed "cells" or processes may not be experiencing the same degree of frustration as those having flexible processes running multiple part numbers.
Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) typically suffers during these times due to the frequent changeovers and short volume runs. If there was a time when you can't change over or setup and run fast enough, this may be it. Hang on and enjoy the ride.
Until Next Time – STAY lean!

Motherboard upgrade: the complete guide
Complete lowdown on the latest AMD and Intel boards
Simple but complicated. That's PC motherboards circa 2011.
On the one hand, there are fewer players in the motherboard chipset market than ever. With Nvidia pretty much out of the game and small time outfits such as Via long gone, you only have to worry about AMD and Intel chipsets.
If that's the simple bit, the complications come courtesy of a PC platform in tumult. There are three big trends at play. First, PCs are becoming ever more integrated. The end game a few years down the line will be PCs based on highly integrated system-on-a-chip devices.
In the meantime, things are getting very messy as some but not all features make their way onto the CPU itself. The most obvious example is on-die graphics.
This matters because the difference between CPUs is no longer a matter of clocks, core counts or cache sizes. There are fundamental functional contrasts and some of them mean new sockets and chipsets are required. It's not much good, for example, having an on-die graphics core or hardware video encoder if your motherboard isn't wired up to make it work.
The second major trend involves power efficiency. Put simply, PC architectures need to become much more power efficient to fend off that billions-strong swarm of tiny ARM-based processors. Intel's response is the Atom processor, not a chip that we've been remotely interested in for the desktop so far.
However, AMD's low-power Bobcat core is a little more compelling thanks to out-of-order processing and a half-decent graphics core.
Meanwhile, AMD's new Llano processors neatly combine both the integration and power efficiency trends in a single, intriguing quad-core design. Of course, just like integration, power efficiency shakes up the PC platform. Both Bobcat and Llano require new sockets and boards.
Finally, and somewhat contradicting the integration trend, remember that interesting new technologies often first appear courtesy of add-in chips. Think Nvidia's SLI-enhancing NF200 controller or Lucid's vendor-agnostic Hydra multi-GPU chip.
But there are other features, such as Intel's upcoming Thunderbolt that also fall into this category. All of which means choosing a motherboard is more challenging than ever. But don't sweat it. PCF is here to help.
What kind of PC do you want? That is the question. More than any other component, the motherboard sets the tone and defines the ultimate capabilities and limitations of your rig. This stuff matters.
Take the latest trend towards compact, power efficient and highly integrated PCs. If that tickles your fancy, you'll obviously need a low-power CPU. But you'll also need the right motherboard. Choose wisely and the result will be a snazzily-specced system with relatively few compromises compared to a full-fat PC.
A nice example involves systems based on AMD's new low-power Zacate CPUs. OK, the Bobcat CPU core design inside Zacate ain't exactly a powerhouse. But its 80-shader graphics core isn't too shabby and the whole shebang gets the job done for most things short of gaming.
Even better, if you pick up a Zacate motherboard for around £100, you'll actually get the CPU with integrated graphics thrown in, making for a very cost effective system.
To take just one example, Asus's AMD E35M1-M PRO Zacate board has everything from SATA 6Gbps to USB 3.0 and HDMI along with a dual-core processor and integrated graphics and all for around £110. Just add memory and an SSD and you've got yourself a multi-core PC with DX11 graphics.
The AMD Fusion family
The other low-power option from AMD is the new Llano chip, otherwise known as the A-Series processor. Like Zacate, Llano doesn't drop into AMD's family of mainstream AMx sockets. It has its own FM1 socket. Llano gives you four Phenom II-class cores and the most powerful integrated graphics the world has ever seen.
The result is not a truly high performance platform. But given the sub-£100 price of a Llano chip and another £80 for a decent FM1 board with USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gbps, you've got a very nice package for under £200.
In terms of motherboard chipsets for all of these AMD Fusion processors, there's not a great deal to worry about. Many key features are located on the CPU, making the chipset less critical. Essentially, you've a choice of two known as Hudson D1 and Hudson D3.
The latter is the one to go for thanks to support for dual PCI-e graphics and four native USB 3.0 lanes. It also supports two dual-link displays, which is essential if you're a high-resolution monitor junky.
Of course, the obvious downside to both Zacate and Llano is that you can't just drop in a more powerful CPU down the road. You're locked into a low-power platform with a proprietary socket. For us, that probably restricts AMD's current Fusion chips to duty in secondary systems and casual computing rather than primary PCs.
As for Intel's low power efforts: don't bother. The Atom processor has no place in any desktop. Its processor core architecture is too weedy and its chipsets with integrated graphics are worse. Third party chipsets from the likes of Nvidia are better but still not good enough.
In any case, Intel will soon give Atom graphics on-die and entirely cut third parties out in the process. Meanwhile, the low-powered version of Intel's Core CPUs are simply overpriced.
AMD Bulldozer
If that's the shizzle regarding the rage for all things low-power, what about pukka performance PCs? The big noise here is AMD's Bulldozer CPU. Or at least it would be if Bulldozer had been launched on time. But it hasn't and we're still waiting for it.
The interspaz scuttlebutt reckons AMD has been through B0, B1 and most recently B2 steppings trying to sort out Bulldozer's performance.
Meanwhile, leaked benchmarks purporting to reveal performance from the top quad-module Bulldozer processor put its performance somewhere between a quad-core Intel Core i7 2600K and Intel's top six-core Gulftown chips.
All we can say for sure is that launch events have been cancelled and the chip is clearly in some sort of trouble.
Given AMD's recent track record, we're not exactly dying of surprise. The first quad-core Phenom processor was a complete disaster, for instance, and its worth remembering AMD hasn't launched a new architecture since the Athlon in 2003.
But it is extremely frustrating, especially because Intel seems increasingly to be sand bagging at the top of its range.
The new high-end Sandy Bridge-E chips due out later this year will stick with six cores. We reckon Intel would be doing eight or even 12-core chips if AMD was putting up more of fight. So, the sooner AMD's pseudo oct-core Bullies can arrive, the sooner we can have one of those performance wars that invariably result in faster chips for less cash.
When Bulldozer does finally arrive, probably no sooner than October at this rate, the good news is that it will be mechanically compatible with all existing AM3 boards.
The first Bulldozer-based chip, code named Zambezi, slated to be sold under the AMD FX banner, doesn't have integrated graphics and it sticks with a dual-channel memory controller, so it doesn't need a radical new interface with lots of extra pins. The moderately bad news is that it will only be supported on AM3+ boards. Where things get a little complicated is chipset support.
Currently, you can buy AM3+ boards based on everything from the ancient 7 Series chipset through the 8 Series and now the spangly new 9 Series. In theory, all should be compatible with Zambezi, with 9 Series boards working out of the box and the older motherboards requiring a BIOS update from the manufacturer.
Up the Zambezi
What's not clear is whether there will be any benefit to be had from the new and supposedly Bulldozer-optimised 9 Series chipset. The facts as we know them pertaining to the top-rung 990FX go something like this: The 990FX and SB950 southbridge chips are literally the same silicon as the older 890FX and SB850 chips.
However, AMD has upped the HyperTransport specification from 3.0 to 3.1, delivering a bandwidth boost from 5.2Gtps to 6.4Gtps. The 9 Series will also be the first AMD chipset with full Nvidia SLI multi-GPU support and without the need for that silly NF200 controller chip.
Turbo Core 2.0 is another feature that may turn out to be chipset-dependent for full support. Similar to existing Turbo features from both AMD and Intel, it promises to maximise performance by clocking cores according to load.
AMD says that an eight-core Bulldozer chip will boost by as much as 1GHz when up to half the cores are active. That said, we were expecting the top Zambezi model to be rated nominally at 3.2GHz and top out at 3.9GHz with Turbo boost before the delays hit.
Time will tell, but Bulldozer can't come soon enough and we certainly wouldn't consider buying an AM3 board with AM3+ models now available for as little as £50.
Indeed, if you're planning on going with Bulldozer but need to build a rig now, you have the option of picking up an AM3+ board along with something like a £60 triple-core Athlon II chip. Then chuck the tripler on eBay when Bulldozer finally shows up.
But what about Intel? The big change coming from the biggest noise in processors arrives with Panther Point chipsets, otherwise known as the 7 Series. At the top end is the X79 chipset, taking over from the crusty old X58 chipset.
There's a new socket, too, boasting a scarcely credible 2,011 pins. Say hello to LGA 2011. It replaces LGA 1366 and needs so many pins because the new Sandy Bridge-E processor has no fewer than four memory channels.
Existing triple-channel Bloomfield and Gulftown processors aren't exactly memory-starved, so you're in good company if you can't quite understand why Intel is adding even more memory bandwidth.
The explanation, of course, is that the extra bandwidth is almost definitely redundant on the desktop. But the LGA 2011 socket is really designed for multi-socket workstations and servers. And when you have multiple sockets in the same system, bandwidth is king.

16th Arcata Eye Ball Could Nail Ridge Trail
Kevin L. Hoover
Eye Editor
ARCATA THEATRE LOUNGE – This Saturday, you can enjoy entertainment, bid on auction items to benefit the Ridge Trail and in doing so, save a tree at the Arcata Theatre Lounge during the 16th Annual Arcata Eye Ball. You may also choose to enjoy a nourishing beverage and nosh.
With just $7,000 in funding needed to complete the Arcata Ridge Trail and numerous enticing auction items donated by local businesses and individuals, the event stands a good chance of sealing the Ridge Trail deal.
Better yet, if that amount is exceeded, the additional finds will be used for trail improvements such as rocking and stabilizing trail segments and trail signage. "Anything extra will reduce the amount spent from timber harvests," Andre said.
The official press release
The 16th Annual Arcata Eye Ball takes place Saturday, March 9 at the Arcata Theatre Lounge. Admission is $15; doors open at 6 p.m.
Tickets are available at Wildberries Marketplace, People's Records, Wildwood Music, California Welcome Center, The Works and at arcatatheatre.com.
As with past years, the 2013 Eye Ball offers an action-packed evening of entertainment and music. Starting at 7 p.m., enjoy the vaudevillian antics and artistry of Shea FreeLove and his FreeLove Circus. Next, prepare to bump and grind with the Rutabaga Queens. The Eureka Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence will bring glamour and elegance to the evening. Michael Fields and Dell'Arte will deliver a subset of their theatrical musicality to the Eye Ball stage. Gil Cline and his Trumpet Mob elevate the affair with a classy dash of classical music. Then, the ever-saucy gyrations of the PomPom Queens. Headlining band Paranoid Android will rock you with their unique and powerful Arcata-rock, and will back performances by a number of guest artists. Finally, the All-Star Arcata Eye Rockestra will complete the night with local luminaries playing stirring renditions of classic rock tunes.
Don't forget to dress like your favorite rock star and compete to win a prize!
This year's Eye Ball is a benefit for the Arcata Ridge Trail.
After years of work and fundraising, the four-mile trail through the Sunny Brae Forest and Arcata Community Forest is just $10,000 away from being fully acquired. Once complete, users will be able to walk, bike or ride a horse from West End Road to Margaret Lane in Sunny Brae.
Thanks to many generous donors, the Eye Ball's live and silent auctions hold the promise of providing the final bit of funding for this project, with all auction proceeds to benefit the Arcata Ridge Trail. If you or your business have an item to donate to the auction, please call Debi Farber Bush at (707) 845-3873.

Slam poets prepare for a linguistic battle
By AMY OUTEKHINE
Sun Staff Reporter
Arizona Daily Sun © 2005
If you met Christopher Fox Graham on the street, you wouldn't know he was a walking repertoire of 1,800 poems.
If you saw him in a dark, crowded room on a stage, you would know he is a master slam competitor of nearly 100 poems.
This Saturday he could pull out one of 12 poems from his arsenal at the Northern Arizona (NORAZ) Poets Grand Slam event, being held at 7:30 p.m. at the Orpheum.
Graham is among the 10 poets competing for the Grand Slam title. The top five finishers will qualify to compete in the National Poetry Slam in Albuquerque in August.
A poetry slam differs from an open-mic poetry reading in a couple of different ways. Slam poets have three minutes for the reading, can use drama elements while performing and are judged by non-poets from the audience. Performers are scored on a scale of 0-10 with one decimal, just like the scoring in the Olympics.
To compete in the NORAZ Grand Slam finals Saturday, poets had to compete in at least five slams prior to this one. There were 19 poets in northern Arizona that fulfilled that criteria, and Graham finished second in the overall point total.
Graham began reading poetry publicly on Oct. 11, 2000. Three months later, he won his first poetry slam and then quickly rose in the ranks with the help of his poetry mentor, Sally Y in Tempe.
While flash and dash may impress some, Graham believes in the fundamentals of poetry writing. "A good poem slams itself," Graham said.
He also sited examples of his favorite dynamic poetry readers.
"Christopher Lane is an amazing performer," Graham said. "Dan Seaman reads a very imposing poem about his grandfather in the mines in Jerome. It is incredible."
Graham's sincere and quiet poems have helped launched his success in competitions. He was a member of the inaugural Flagstaff National Poetry Slam Team that competed at the 2001 National Poetry Slam in Seattle.
Since then, he's been the former Slam Master of the Flagstaff Poetry Slam, founder of the Flagstaff Area High School Poetry Slam, two "Zoning-Out in Vegas" poetry tours, a co-founder of the four-person, 3-month-long "Save the Male" National Poetry Tour that performed in 26 states and Canada in summer 2002, and was a bout manager at the 2003 National Poetry Slam in Chicago.
He placed second in the 2002 Arizona All-Star Slam, third in 2003, and fourth in 2004, against the 15 best slam poets in the Southwest. He was also the Grand Slam Champion of the inaugural NORAZ National Poetry Slam Team that competed and placed 24th at the 2004 National Poetry Slam in St. Louis.
Those competing this year are Logan Phillips, of Flagstaff; Aaron Johnson, of Flagstaff; Al Moyer, of Flagstaff; Ryan "Guts" Guide, of Flagstaff; Meghan Jones, of Flagstaff; Christopher Lane, of Sedona; Sharkie Marado, of Sedona; Eric Larson, of Prescott; Rowie Shabala, of Flagstaff; and Graham.
In June the five-member NORAZ team will compete with a team from Denver in Sedona.
"They are a really good community and we really support each other in competition," Graham said.
Graham's education and career choices also reflect his love of language. He received a Bachelor of Arts in English and history from Arizona State University. He currently is a copy editor of The Red Rock News in Sedona.
"Words are pretty much all I have," Graham said.
Tickets are $10 for adults and $7 for students with ID.
This is the official blog of Northern Arizona slam poet Christopher Fox Graham. Begun in 2002, and transferred to blogspot in 2006, FoxTheBlog has recorded more than 670,000 hits since 2009. This blog cover's Graham's poetry, the Arizona poetry slam community and offers tips for slam poets from sources around the Internet. Read CFG's full biography here. Looking for just that one poem?

The U.S. and Japan tested a new Theatre Missile Defense (TMD) technology Wednesday off the coast of Hawaii. A missile was launched by an Aegis cruiser and successfully deployed a new Japanese-designed nose cone.
These developments indicate that U.S. and Japan's efforts to expand joint military operations in the Asian-Pacific region are moving ahead. The U.S. is now pressuring Japan to get rid of their constitutional prohibition against having an offensive military. Together, the U.S. and Japan are now preparing a major military escalation in the region that is like a dart pointed at the heart of China.
China today has 20 nuclear missiles capable of hitting the west coast of the U.S. The U.S. has over 7,500 nuclear weapons. The new TMD technologies under development by the U.S. and Japan are intended to make it possible for China's 20 nuclear missiles to be taken out during an attack. The idea is that the Aegis destroyer would be based in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, thus giving the U.S. the ability to virtually surround China's coastal region. Add to that the new permanent military bases the U.S. is now building in Afghanistan, right on China's inland border. These bases would also be outfitted with ground-based TMD systems. Together, along with planned airborne and space-based systems, the U.S. plan is to be able to launch a preemptive first-strike attack on China and then take out China's retaliatory response by using the new TMD interceptors.
At the U.S. Space Command, during the past couple of years, they have been war gaming this first strike attack on China. Set in the year 2016, the U.S. launches the attack and then attempts to pick off China's anemic nuclear response.
These joint U.S. and Japanese TMD operations are helping to increase tensions in the region and are forcing China to make defensive military build-ups along their border regions.
It should be remembered that not long ago, Japan was the fascist imperial power in the region that invaded Manchuria, China and Korea that helped kick-off World War II. The Japanese were known to have killed large numbers of civilians during their brutal occupations of these countries. Japan blew up one of its own
trains in September of 1931, blaming it on China, and using it as a pretext to invade Manchuria. The incident was used to justify the invasion on the grounds that Japanese interests had to be protected from assaults by the Chinese. (Sound familiar?)
So the U.S. and Japan are now playing an old game. They are moving to militarize the region, as China defensively responds, the U.S. accuses China of trying to control the region. China gets surrounded, tensions rise and at some point the fuse gets lit. An explosion happens and China will get blamed. The U.S. and Japan do not intend to let China become a major power without first trying to control her. As the Washington Post said in 2001, the U.S. will now double our military presence in the Asian-Pacific region so that "we" can "manage" China.

Your wooden wall art is gorgeous - you've done a lovely job! I have this linked to my wooden signs post too today, for inspiration!ReplyDelete
How did you paint the words? Free hand? Stencils? They are Awesome!ReplyDelete
I too would really like to know how you paint the letters, stencils? freehand?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJuly 24, 2012 at 12:13 PM
Me three would like to know how you painted the letters. I love you pallet pieces and wish I were a creative as you.ReplyDelete
I'd love to hear how you painted the letters as well. Love all your work. Found your site today. It's awesome! I have tons of pallets and I keep getting hung up on things being straight and flush. Now I have so many ideas to get going that I'm sure I'll never want to go back to making things "square"ReplyDelete
How did you do the letters..ReplyDelete
First I'd like to applaud your talent and your blog. So glad I found you.ReplyDelete
Looks like a few people had beat me to asking how you did the lettering on your signs. Love how each one is different. Did you use a silhouette? If so I'll be having to figure out a different way as I don't have one and chances of getting one are zero. I've tried using stencils with different fonts but spacing is a problem for me, have had to scrap several signs due to lousy spacing.
Besides loving to make things our budget suggested making things with pallets would be good to supplement with, keeping 2 seniors busy is even better.
Is there a reason we couldn't hand print or write them? I've thought of printing them out on computer, cut them out then trace on boards. If you can reply please do so at: email@example.com Thx Happy Days
Please tell me how you did your letters. I am new to this crafty stuff. :-) firstname.lastname@example.com
How did you paint the boards and do the letters? firstname.lastname@example.com
Can you share how you got your letters like that? Wonderful work. What type of paint as well.ReplyDelete
