Mojave Road - 2013 Baja HID ExcursionPosted in Events on March 18, 2014
If you had to pick one place in the world to hit the dirt, where would it be? Well, that's a no brainer for us: It would definitely have to be Baja! There's really nothing quite like crossing the U.S./Mexico border into the natural habitat of high-speed Trophy Trucks and racing legends. It truly is a nonstop adrenaline rush every time we go down, and we're there at least a handful of times a year.
Sure we've heard all the exaggerations and misconceptions about the dangers of Baja from people who've never feasted on delicious tacos al Pastor on the side of the road in Ensenada while taking in the majestic view of Todos Los Santos Bay. People usually tell us we're going to get hassled, mugged, or worse. Yet, we meet the friendliest of people while visiting Baja. The only thing we've ever seen in Baja is a great time with great friends, and of course, gnarly terrain.
In August 2012, we joined the guys from Go Fast Broncos (GoFastBroncos.com). We went along for the ride on yet another BajaHID Excursion through some of the coolest sections of race course in Baja. Our trip suffered quite a few hang ups, from multiple trail repairs to flat tires, and even a long ride on the tow strap for one of the trucks in our group. And we must have been having a little too much fun during our prerun up the coast. We somehow ended up driving onto a private farm road, which resulted in the local law enforcement showing up. Luckily, most of our group is fluent in Spanish, and we were able to apologize for our mistake. The authorities were incredibly friendly, didn't hassle us at all, and even pointed us in the right direction. Although we didn't hit as many trails as we would have liked, we still managed to have a blast.
When we heard there was a new BajaHID Excursion planned for October '13, we jumped onboard for our dose of fun in the desert almost immediately. This trip, however, was different since it wouldn't be crossing into Mexico. Instead, it would take us through the Mojave Road from Barstow, California, to Laughlin, Nevada. You're probably asking yourself, "If Baja is so great, why go anywhere else?" There's a simple answer. The Mojave Road is one of the coolest trails in the Southwestern United States, and it has a deep history behind it. The fathers of the BajaHID Excursion -- Tony Rojo, Chris Puente, and Tom Webber -- also wanted the rest of the Go Fast Broncos family to be able to come out and share in the awesome experience. Who knows? They might get hooked and jump at the chance to make some dust in Baja in the near future.

There's a race on right now between the climateers and the liberal cheerleaders for big government and economic illiteracy to see who can make the bigger fool of themselves over Hurricane Sandy. Two weeks ago in my Ashland University class I drew the students attention to Frederic Bastiat's famous "broken window fallacy" of economics, and as exhibit one pointed to New York Times columnist (and Nobel Prize winner!) Paul Krugman, who wrote after the earthquake in Japan last year: "People on twitter might be joking, but in all seriousness, we would see a bigger boost in spending and hence economic growth if the earthquake had done more damage." (This was not a one-off: After 9/11, Krugman wrote: "Ghastly as it may seem to say this, the terror attack—like the first day of infamy, which brought an end to the Great Depression—could do some economic good.") Gee, if the Jihadists had just knocked over a few more buildings in Manhattan, think how much richer we'd all be by now! Maybe we should just knock them over ourselves??
So last night I challenged my students to look for the first instance of someone making the case that Hurricane Sandy would be an economic boon. It took just a few seconds to find several. In fact, the New York Times was already arguing this yesterday before Sandy had even made landfall:
Even as businesses struggled on Monday to gauge and contain the damage from Hurricane Sandy's slow move up the East Coast, economists played down the likely long-term effects. The recovery after the storm, they said, could actually pump up growth temporarily in a few sectors, like construction and retail sales, when cleanup begins in earnest in a few days. . .
The Puffington Host has a piece on the "stimulus effects" of Sandy, but I imagine the irony is lost on the PuffHo crowd that their site is offline right now because of power disruption (so this link is dead at the moment–heh). (UPDATE: Link is back up now, and the piece is a muddle; not clear whether they have the story right, or think Sandy wan't big enough to be a proper stimulus.) The Wall Street Journal offers a good illustration of why business executives are often idiots:
However, economically speaking, the clean-up is sure to generate its own visible effect on the economy. John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Grey, put it this way:
"If there is any silver lining in all the destruction the storm is expected to cause, it's that such storms tend to provide a boost to the economy in their wake. After the initial shocks to the economy related to lost output and productivity, we will probably see an employment surge in construction, skilled trades and other professions needed to help repair the damage. There will also be an increase in business and consumer spending and companies and homeowners replace damaged equipment, household items, etc. While much of it will be paid for with insurance money, the injection of money into the economy will be beneficial nonetheless."
Even Forbes comes close to botching the issue, before kinda/sorta getting it right: "Is Hurricane Sandy To Provide A Stimulus For The US Economy?"
But, what about the impact of cleaning and reconstruction that is expected to follow the hurricane? Wouldn't it give a boost to the economy? It depends on the extent of the damages and magnitude of the reconstruction to be done. Some experts talk of damages in the order of $10, $20, even $100 billion—seeing a "Sandy stimulus package." But even if we go with the highest estimate, $100 billion, it is a too small number given the size of the US economy.
So, we should have wished for Sandy to have been more damaging over a bigger area? Sign this man up as Krugman's research assistant.
And Tweeters Daniel Lin and Amy get in on it, though it appears with the proper irony.
Meanwhile, you can guess what the climateers are saying. I won't even waste your time and precious pixels. (Well, if you really must see, here's some typical off-the-hook-hysteria from the ClimateProgress folks.) The New York Times' straight-shooting Andy Revkin reminds us: "While dramatic, Northeast storminess is not place to look for signals of greenhouse-driven global warming. Read this excerpt from an important 2002 Nature paper that used lakebed cores to create a record of extreme storminess through the Holocene:
Climate models suggest that human activities, specifically the emission of atmospheric greenhouse gases, may lead to increases in the frequency of severe storms in certain regions of the Northern Hemisphere. However, the existence of natural variability in storminess confounds reliable detection of anthropogenic effects.
During the past ~600 years, New England storminess appears to have been increasing naturally. This rhythm in storm frequency may explain some of the recently observed increases in extreme precipitation events. If the pattern of millennial-scale variability that we documented through the Holocene persists into the future, New England storminess would continue to increase for the next ~900 years. Because climate synopses compiled from instrumental records cannot distinguish underlying natural increases in storminess from anthropogenic effects, detected increases in contemporary storminess may not be a reliable indicator of human-induced climate change.
So we need a name for the new Power Line Hybrid Green Weenie/Economic Idiocy Prize.

Dye Transfer
41,6 x 33,5 cm
From June 17 to July 22, 2015, Galerie m Bochum is featuring early color photographs by
Evelyn Hofer
(b. 1922 in Marburg an der Lahn, d. 2009 in Mexico City), made in connection with her famous photobooks about New York, Washington and Dublin. On view are also pictures of Paris that were not published at that time. The exhibition coincides with a major retrospective of Evelyn Hofer's work at Villa Stuck in Munich, the first comprehensive showing of the oeuvre of the "most famous 'unknown' photographer in America." (Hilton Kramer). A new monograph is being published for the survey show.
In the 1950s, color photography began to gain in importance as an artistic medium, finally enjoying a true breakthrough in the 1970s. Evelyn Hofer, who lived and worked in New York City starting in the late 1940s, where she began to receive her first commissions from prestigious magazines such as Harper's Bazaar, experienced the boom in color photography up close on the local scene. She was one of the early adopters of the new technology – most of the images she made for books or magazines in the 1960s are color shots. From that point forward, Hofer increasingly focused on cities and countries as subjects for her photobook projects. Her intense interest in the cultural and social fabric of specific places is reflected in her working methods. In some cases, she lived for several months in the cities she photographed: "I always try to immerse myself in cities I don't know, just as if I were in fact living there, integrating myself as far as possible into the normal rhythm of life [...]."
In this way, Hofer not only managed to gain the trust of the locals, allowing her to create particularly intimate portraits; she also carefully studied the light, everyday life, architecture and atmosphere in the settings she portrayed, resulting in meticulously composed tableaux. The works merge to generate contexts bespeaking the special features of each place, but are also more than capable of asserting themselves as individual images in which the use of color is a key ingredient in creating a one-of-a-kind impression. To name but two examples, the footballers in "Phoenix Park on a Sunday, Dublin" and the "Girl with Bicycle, Dublin" (both from 1966) both attest to Hofer's extraordinary eye for the aesthetic qualities of color and are considered icons within her oeuvre.
The dye transfer technique she used still fascinates today with its exceptional intensity. This sophisticated printing process, in which the colors are applied directly to the paper with the help of matrices, has become increasingly rare: the Pan Matrix Film required was developed by Kodak in 1947 and produced only until 1994.

Single-family homes
These detached homes — houses that sit on there own lot — come in one- (ranch), two- and three-level styles. Their exterior appearance can be contemporary, Colonial, Tudor, Victorian or Georgian, for example. As the name implies, single-family homes are ideal for families, especially those with children. Elderly folks who prefer not to climb stairs usually opt for a single-level ranch home. Privacy is an attractive characteristic of these homes, which usually have a fenced back yard. On the other hand, you'll have to keep up with more maintenance than with other home types.
Condominiums (condos)
Condos are individually owned homes attached to one another in a building (like apartments), and feature common facilities, such as recreation areas and fitness rooms. Each condominium building belongs to an association of all its owners. The association determines the monthly assessment fees and rules and regulations that govern the entire building. The association also decides on maintenance and improvements to the condo building. Like a single-family home, you build equity when you own a condo, but unlike a house, you have less maintenance to deal with. Among the drawbacks of condos is less privacy, and during a housing-market downturn, they usually depreciate more than a house.
Cooperative apartments (co-ops)
Similar to condos but usually less expensive, co-ops are popular in large urban areas. New York City is known for them. A co-op is different from a condo, in that instead of buying the unit, you buy shares in a corporation that owns the building. And before you can buy shares, you have to be approved by the building's co-op board. Each shareholder has the right to lease a specific unit in the building. Keep in mind that you may have a more difficult time selling your co-op unit because of the board-approval process.
Whether they're one, two or three stories tall, townhouses (also called townhomes) are typically vertical in design. Some even come with attached garages. They blend the privacy of a single-family home with the benefits of the exterior condo maintenance, which is usually done by the homeowners' association. Many townhouses are built in what are called planned unit developments (PUD), clustered communities that have areas for residential and commercial use, and public areas such as schools, parks and the like.
These are usually condos and single-family homes that are in need of extensive repairs, maintenance or updating. Fixer-uppers are usually a good value to buyers who want to put some 'sweat equity' into a property and add some personal touches to it. On the other hand, they can also be a financial drain if they have any major defects, such as foundation cracks and defective heating and air conditioning units. Have a professional home inspector check the home from top to bottom before you decide to buy it.
Vacation, or Second Homes
When you just have to get away from it all, a cabin in the woods, an idyllic lakefront property or a golf community in a warm climate all attract owners of vacation homes. Second homes are more difficult to manage, because you don't live nearby to coordinate maintenance and repairs. You may also rent your vacation home, but consider hiring a local rental-management company if you live far away and won't be able to handle problems when they arise.
New-Construction Homes
How would you like your home to look? New construction housing allows you to design a home from top to bottom. You can pick your choice of finishes, cabinets and bath fixtures and more. Some builders also allow you to move walls in predesigned models and pick the lot within their community to place your home. Expect to pay more money for a new construction. Preconstruction typically offers you reduced pricing before a development or building gets under way. You need to be fairly creative to visualize your new home from floor plans, because there usually aren't models to view until the project gets underway. If you decide to purchase new construction, make sure you research the developer or builder's track record before you sign the purchase contract.
Green Homes
Green, or eco-friendly living, is blooming everywhere in our society today. No less in the world of real estate, where green building and renovation are becoming mainstream. According to the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), a green home uses building materials from recycled products, including woods such as bamboo that are quickly renewable. A green home uses less energy, water and other natural resources, and it should generate some of its own energy with photovoltaic cells (solar panels) or wind turbines. Inside, a green home's windows and doors are well-insulated, and paints, carpets and other materials do not emit volatile organic compounds. A green household also has cost-saving Energy Star lighting and appliances, and showerheads and toilets that use less water. Look for the USGBC's LEED certification in a green home, which means that it meets sustainable constructions standards.
Many green homes are being built in green communities located on sustainable sites. These communities feature convenient public transportation, nearby health and social services, walkable options for recreation and shopping and accessible bike paths.

The Wolfpack Goes Back to Vegas in "The Hangover: Part III" Trailer
(NEW YORK) -- The teaser trailer to the final chapter in Todd Phillips' Hangover trilogy has just debuted, and it shows the hard-partying, memory-challenged Wolfpack vowing to "burn Vegas to the ground."
The snippet shows the characters played by Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, and Bradley Cooper together again, apparently for the death of the father-in-law of Justin Bartha's character.
Like in the first two films, Bartha's apparently absent for much of the hijinks that the teaser calls, "The epic conclusion to the trilogy of mayhem and bad decisions." Indeed, the clip shows leaps from buildings, machine gun-toting henchmen in pig masks, a prison riot, and the decapitation of a giraffe, thanks to Galifianakis' Alan driving the animal underneath a low bridge.
The Hangover: Part III, which also stars returning cast members Ken Jeong, Heather Graham, and Mike Tyson, as well as newcomers to the series John Goodman and Melissa McCarthy, opens May 24.

I changed the diff oil the other day and took a few pics whilst doing so. For grades and quantities see: forum/viewtopic.php?t=9
Pic showing the location of the drain and fill holes (with nuts removed).
You'll need a hex drive or allen key to remove them. The latter doesn't work so well as you need a lot of leverage to undo them.
Replace the drain plug and fill with oil, this is the tricky part. There's not much room around the exhaust pipe to fit a filler bottle. I found a 1l bottle with a pull-up spout that did the job.
It's a tight squeeze when the bottle gets empty:
Replace the fill nut, Torque them both and you are done:
Note: I'm not responsible for anyone causing themselves or their car damage by following the above. It's just how I went about it.

We have arrived in Belgium! What a relief. I cannot tell you.
We flew out from Boise airport. We were fortunate to catch a non-stop flight, from LA!! Boy, if there is anything near torture, try flying through the night in a very cramped space. After 9.5 hours on the plane, we landed at London Heathrow. We found our way through the Underground to Kings Cross Station. Amanda went and found Platform 9 & 3/4 of Harry Potter fame and took a few pictures. We waited, checked in for Eurorail at St. Pancras Station, and enjoyed a Cornish Pasty. A first for Amanda, a beloved memory for me.
We climbed aboard the Eurorail which treated us to a trip through the Chunnel. France proved to have beautiful scenery. We got off at Lille, France and switched trains. We rode to Kortrijk, Belgium. James met us at the station and now we are in our digs at Oostrozebeke, Belgium.
Funny thing, we knew we needed to get to Kortrijk but we forgot to bring James & Catherine's phone number and address. Meaning, when we arrived, we were totally at their mercy. We couldn't catch a taxi to their home, and we could not call them. It is sure a good thing James showed up with his little Toyota.
We find ourselves babysitting while J & C are off to branch council. We put the kids to bed in 15 minutes, take a shower, and crash ourselves! We are exhausted
Be sure to check our joint Blog. Amanda will include some pictures there with some commentary. I will also upload to a new European Album all our photos we deem of sufficient quality to share with the world.

Why Education?
Part of the AAVSO's mission is to "promote scientific research and education using variable star data". Variable star data can be an effective context for interdisciplinary teaching about constellations, stars, geometry, basic statistics and even history.
In the 1990's, the National Science Foundation awarded the AAVSO a grant to produce a formal curriculum package called Hands-On Astrophysics (HOA). HOA used real data from the AAVSO International Database with custom written DOS software to teach about variable stars and data analysis. The content of HOA was updated in 2009, renamed Variable Star Astronomy and placed online. The software has been rewritten and expanded into a Java package called VStar.
In 2009, the National Science Foundation awarded the AAVSO a new Informal Science Education (ISE) grant for the Citizen Sky project. The goal of Citizen Sky is to allow participants to engage in the entire scientific method while helping astronomers study the mysterious eclipse of epsilon Aurigae. The Citizen Sky web site has many projects educators can use both inside and outside the classroom, including activities for the Science Olympiad. It also has a forum and team dedicated to education and public outreach. Both are open to the public.

He was interim president at UT Arlington from 2003 to 2004. In 2009, he was asked to come out of retirement to serve as interim president of UT Pan American.
Sorber was active in a wide range of professional activities. He served as chair or member of a number of engineering committees including the National Research Council, the Stockholm Water Symposium and the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges. He was named a Fellow in the American Society of Civil Engineers in 1991. Sorber also servedas president of the Water Environment Federation from 1992 to 1993.
He was a member of several honorary societies and received a number of awards for his teaching and professional services, including the Gordon Maskew Fair Award of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers & Scientists and the William J. Orchard Medal of the Water Environment Federation.

Giving Day: Skip this alert description. Today is Giving Day! Make a gift, spread the word, and show you're Proud to be Beloit!
The Liberal Arts in Practice
What does it mean to practice the liberal arts?
At Beloit College, it means digging in. It means integrating knowledge with hands-on experience. It is studying, doing research, reflecting, and intentionally testing and applying what you've learned through a range of connected experiences, such as internships, field work, study abroad, special summer programs, entrepreneurial projects, symposia, capstone experiences, and labs-based courses in nearly every discipline. Beloiters who can practice the liberal arts know how to build on what they learn as they confront new challenges in a rapidly changing world.
Beloit's curriculum requires practice, not only through one course or a requisite internship, but with a set of opportunities that connect knowledge with action at many points. A Beloit education gets a strong start with the Initiatives program, which guides you through your first two years, while courses in the curriculum are designed to give you the skills to write convincingly and reason with evidence, engage broadly in different ways of knowing and understanding the world, and attain in-depth knowledge of your field(s) of choice.
You will own your academic trajectory by selecting academic and co-educational opportunities with the help of a faculty advisor, your mentor and advocate from the day you arrive on campus. Although a Beloit education offers a degree of flexibility, and even the option of a self-designed major, all students are required to complete:
- A capstone experience
- A required "beyond the classroom" liberal arts in practice experience
- Three writing-intensive courses
- One quantitative reasoning course
- A minimum of one intercultural literacy course
- A breadth of study requirement, which requires a course in each of five "domains," or areas of knowledge
- Requirements within their major
- A minimum of 31 units of earned credit with a cumulative GPA of at least 2.000

WINCHESTER MP Steve Brine has taken up a new role within government following the Prime Minister's reshuffle.
The Winchester and Chandler's Ford MP was previously Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) to Mike Penning, within the Department of Work & Pensions, and now follows him to the Home Office and Ministry of Justice.
Mr Brine said: "This is an exciting move for me, which takes me into the heart of Theresa May's Home Office team.
"Mike is the new Minister for Policing and is also at the centre of the Ministry of Justice under Chris Grayling, as this is actually a cross-departmental brief. I hope my experience on the Justice Select Committee these past three years will be of use in this new role which I am hugely looking forward to getting stuck into when Parliament returns in September."

PNG thrashes Am. Samoa 46-0 in Oceania U19 rugby
The American Samoa National Under 19 rugby team suffered its second terrible loss yesterday in the ongoing Oceania Under 19 Rugby Tournament in Samoa, against a much heavier and more experienced team from Papua New Guinea.
The PNG team was well aware of their weight advantage and from the starting whistle, their forwards sprang into action gaining valuable ground with brutal frontal attacks running phase after phase, then feeding the ball to their fast backs who took the ball over the tryline on more than one occasion.
American Samoa on the other hand were swept away as their opponents controlled the pace of the game with their big forwards like bulls on the rampage.
However, they bravely held on and put their bodies on the line by throwing themselves at their opponents. They also made bashed their way into enemy territory when they had the ball in hand, but these runs were always quickly snuffed out by their bigger opponents.
It was in the first ten minutes of the game that PNG drew first blood with their center touching down near the corner after a backline attack inside the American Samoa 22-meter area.
The conversion attempt was unsuccessful.
Desperate to put some points on the scoreboard, Captain Kalisi Tialii opted to kick for goal when the referee penalized PNG for infringements in forward play.
There were three penalty kick attempts at goal, two by first-five Tuafale Faisauvale and one by halfback Pa'upa'u Penitusi but unfortunately, none was successful.
Three more tries by PNG followed all unconverted and brought the half-time score to 20-0.
Coming back in the second half, American Samoa tried to slow the pace of the game and pass the ball around, but the faster PNG backs seemed to be everywhere.
Injuries further spoiled American Samoa's chances for scoring a try, with two players not able to continue the game. Fortunately, they were not serious injuries.
PNG took advantage of the situation and scored another four tries in the second half, three of them converted to bring the final score to 46-0.
American Samoa Coach Leaupepe Terry Chang said that his team had put themselves into trouble by not sticking to their game plan.
"I knew the PNG team was much heavier than our boys, so I told them not to attempt to confront them play by play, but to play the ball wide and spread the PNG defense," Coach Leaupepe said. "However, PNG exploded into the game using their big forwards to move the ball forward and our team kept trying to go against them to no avail. But our boys played their hearts out and they deserve credit. We'll just have to go back to the drawing board and work out a winning strategy."
American Samoa will take on Vanuatu in their third game on Monday next week.
"Of all the teams in this tournament, Vanuatu has a similar pack weight to us, so we really have a good chance to come out on top next week," the coach said.

Author Notes: Asparagus and Hollandaise is a match made in heaven. I always made my Hollandaise with butter and egg and lemon but decided one day to try a variation on the tried and true. Instead of the butter I added mascarpone and discovered it is a wonderful way to switch it up a bit. The mascarpone is thick and creamy and there is no danger of it breaking like butter. Its kind of a lazy mans (or woman's) hollandaise. Its wonderful on cold or hot asparagus or other vegetables. — sdebrango —sdebrango
Food52 Review: A classic with a twist. Simple roasted asparagus served with a surprisingly easy to make mascarpone hollandaise. The hollandaise whipped up super fast in the blender and had a great lemony flavor. You could almost pass it off as a classic hollandaise! - jvcooks —jvcooks
Serves: 6
bunches Asparagus (If a large bunch just use 1)
tablespoons Olive Oil
Kosher Salt
black pepper
ounces Mascarpone
egg yolks
lemon juiced and zested
teaspoon Kosher salt
teaspoon Black pepper
- Preheat your oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and prepare your asparagus, breaking off the ends to remove the woody part. Pat dry with paper towel. Lay your asparagus on the baking sheet not overlapping single file. Drizzle with olive oil and add your salt and pepper. Roll to make sure the olive oil, salt and pepper are covering your asparagus. Bake in your preheated oven for 10 minutes or until asparagus is tender but not mushy.
- To make the Hollandaise, add two egg yolks to your blender, add the lemon juice and give it a whirl. Add the mascarpone, salt pepper and lemon zest and blend until incorporated. It will be thick but should be of pourable consistency. You can adjust the seasoning to your taste.
- Pour the sauce over the warm asparagus and serve.
- I make the Mascarpone Hollandaise the day before I am going to be serving it as it sits in the refrigerator it becomes more intensely lemony.

Marseille, France, 21 October 2013 – Effective management and more funding for marine protected areas are urgently needed to secure a longer life for our oceans and the vital services they provide, urges IUCN at the 3rd International Marine Protected Areas Congress (IMPAC3), which opens today in Marseille, France.
A target of at least 10 % of the world's marine and coastal zones to be protected by 2020 was agreed by most of the world's governments in 2010. Co-organized by IUCN and the French Marine Protected Areas Agency, IMPAC3 will gather over 1,200 managers of marine protected areas, marine specialists and other key players, including ministers, from around the world. Its aim is to evaluate the progress made so far and propose new solutions for the future, including ways to improve funding, management, research and monitoring of marine protected areas.
"It's encouraging to see the progress that we've made to date in terms of protecting the global ocean area – from less than 0.5% at the turn of the 20th century to over 2% today," says Julia Marton-Lefèvre, IUCN Director General. "However, if we continue at the current pace, it will take us another 30 to 40 years to reach the 10% mark. A strong, combined effort is urgently needed to meet the 2020 deadline agreed by governments."
According to the latest report by IUCN and the International Programme on the State of the Ocean (IPSO), ocean's health is "spiralling downwards" far more rapidly than previously thought. This is due to decreasing oxygen levels caused by climate change and nitrogen run-off, combined with other chemical pollution and rampant overfishing.
"This really is the last call for us to reverse the ongoing degradation of marine life," says François Simard, Deputy Director of the IUCN Global Marine and Polar Programme. "We need to make sure that we have enough resources, including financial ones, to continue increasing our knowledge about these places and improve their management. Failure to do so can soon have devastating effects on all of us."
Areas that are beyond national jurisdiction, which represent more than 60% of the global ocean, need special attention, according to IUCN. This includes a new high seas biodiversity agreement that is needed to set the legal basis for more comprehensive management and a truly global system of marine protected areas.
The oceans cover more than 70% of the earth's surface. More than 3.5 billion people depend on them for food, energy and income. Marine protected areas are defined zones where natural and cultural resources receive special protection. They therefore play a central role in addressing some of the global development challenges of today, such as food and energy security, poverty and climate change.
The 3rd International Marine Protected Areas Congress is taking place from 21 to 25 October, followed by a high-level ministerial meeting in Ajaccio, Corsica on 26 and 27 October.
Management and funding of marine protected areas will be discussed further at the IUCN World Parks Congress, a global forum on protected areas held every ten years, which will take place in November next year in Sydney, Australia.

Ewa Magiera, IUCN Media Relations, +41 79 856 76 26, [email protected]
Editor's notes:
The target of at least 10% of the world's marine and coastal zones to be protected by 2020 was agreed at the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) held in Nagoya, Japan in October 2010.

Expansion in China's services sector slowed in April, an official survey showed on Friday, in line with slower factory activity and reinforcing views that recovery in the world's second-largest economy remains modest and faces risks.
China's official purchasing managers' index(PMI) for the non-manufacturing sector fell to 54.5 in April from 55.6 in March, the National Bureau of Statistics(NBS) said on Friday.
Continue Reading Below
Slowing growth in services showed that subdued expansion in manufacturing has begun to feed through to the rest of the economy, though the services industry has so far weathered the global slowdown much better than the factory sector.
"New orders for the services industry dropped below 50, lower than the historical average levels. The prices index also declined relatively sharply, showing operating activity is moderating," said Cai Jin, a vice president at CFLP, the China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing. (The 50 level separates contraction from expansion.)
The CFLP conducts the official survey together with China's National Bureau of Statistics.
"We should pay attention to supporting service industries and expanding consumption demand to enhance their role in supporting overall stable economic growth," Cai said in a statement accompanying the data.
Two recent PMIs showing cooling in manufacturing sector growth have already suggested the euro zone recession and sluggish U.S. demand may be risks to China's economic recovery, though economists see a mild pickup this year, aided by government support.
The official PMI's sub-index for construction fell to 62.4 in April from 62.5 in March.
The new orders sub-index fell to 50.9 from 52, while the index for new orders excluding construction dropped to 49.8 from 51.4 in March.
Firms in catering, transport and maintenance had fewer new orders in April, while new orders for hotels, telecommunications, broadcasting, television and satellite transmission services fared better, the NBS said.
China's economic growth unexpectedly stumbled in the first quarter, slipping to 7.7 percent versus 7.9 percent in the previous three month period, as factory output and investment slowed.

Autocross in general is pretty new to me. Over the last few years—five to be exact—I've had a lot of seat time with our resident C5 Z06, which I often refer to as Twitch. I've tried short technical courses and big open tracks that have allowed me to take full advantage of the available horsepower, but it wasn't until recently that I felt comfortable ... actually, "comfortable" is not the correct term.
I think "natural" is more fitting. I mean feeling confident enough behind the wheel to drive through a course without having to think about each process methodically. It was freeing to have my arms and feet go through the motions while I could focus on what was ahead and prepare for the upcoming turns.
Recently, I headed out to the NMCA West season opener at Auto Club Raceway in Fontana, California, and entered the Street Muscle class. I wasn't expecting much, only to hang out and have a little fun. Suffice to say, I had a lot of fun, but to my surprise, I found myself in the No. 2 position after the first session. Don't get me wrong, I'm always competitive in what I do, but autocrossing isn't exactly second nature to me. It's a motorsport that I really have to work at.
I didn't expect to maintain my position; yet after the third session, I was still holding on. By this time, we were well into the late afternoon, but because the crew was doing such an exceptional job of getting the cars down the course efficiently, they decided to add a fourth session. To be perfectly honest, I wasn't sure how that was going to go for me.
During my first lap of the final session, I had lost my momentum and slowed down significantly. As I waited in line for the last two laps, I started to mentally review the conversation I had with Casey Cronin, the leader in our class with a third-gen Camaro. We discussed a few problem areas I had and he was kind enough to offer suggestions, such as trying different lines and changing up throttle and braking points. It's amazing what can happen if you listen to the right people. The second lap of that session ended up being my fastest one of the day, and the last lap was only slightly slower, within a couple of tenths. It was fast enough to take the runner-up spot to my new mentor.
While this may not seem like a monster achievement, this was a first for me in corner carving and a moment I will never forget. If nothing else, it's really created a new addiction that I'm looking forward to satiate. And to Casey, thank you for the help. The next time I see you, lunch is on me, but feel free to keep giving me pointers, because I'll happily listen.
Practice may not make you perfect, but it'll always help

Oilers 3, Blues 0 – Game 32 – 2013-03-26 @ 6:00 PM MST – SNET-EDM
OK, one thing to immediately get out of the way here.. goal 3 vs. Nashville last night. I don't like to single out one player on a goal, but I think I will here. For some reason, many fans in Oilerland are pointing fault at Corey Potter on this one. I think this is the whipping boy factor that we have here. Guys hate a player so much that they completely lose any sense of rational thought. It reminds me of a tweet I saw. Can't remember it exactly, but it was something like "Defenseman and center get puck watching while winger chases after puck carrier in corner.. who is at fault? The Russian" (on a play in which Yakupov was chasing down Sedin, who made a nice pass to the front of the net where Gagner and Whitney were caught puck watching as it was tapped into the net). Steve-o's response was probably the best on this one – "only argument I see is that Potter shouldn't be on the ice." OK, I'll give you that one.. frequently. I think Potter is a good 7th/8th filler guy. But at any rate, to blame him for that goal is just… crazy.
The way the play broke down…:
For starters, the Oilers play a man-to-man defense. This is well known, but even if they played Zone defense, Fistric still doesn't escape blame here (although Potter would also eat some blame). Anyways, Potter is on right D, Fistric is on left D. Chris Meuller is skating down the right wing (Fistric's side) while Brandon Yip is in the middle of the ice. Potter clearly has Yip targeted (which is what he should do.. this IS his man). For some crazy reason, Fistric is also staring right at Yip as the Preds enter the Oilers zone. Potter commits to stay with his man, Yip. Fistric steps across and is now positioned to double team Yip. As Meuller goes wide on the boards. As the Predators cross the blue line, Potter is nearly in line with Yip and there is a bit of gap there. Fistric has equal gap between both players, and Meuller is to his front-left (noting that in order for Potter to be covering Meuller, which would be crazy, he would have to skate through or across Fistric). Yip starts skating to his right, towards the right boards where Meuller is, across both defensemen. Potter follows suit (as should be expected in man-to-man coverage). Right now at this point, Meuller is close to Fistric, but Fistric completely blocks him out mentally. Yip dishes it off to Meuller just as Fistric commits to honing in on Yip (what the hell?), going for the hit. Potter recognizes this fairly quickly, but it's really too late. Fistric has boxed him out from Meuller (who should be covered by Fistric to begin with). Fistric misses the check (doesn't really matter at this point anyways), Potter scrambles to catch Meuller, who goes in all alone on Dubnyk with Smyth chasing him down as quick as he can… and Meuller then scores.
Anyways, my mind is completely blown here as to how people can fault Potter on this one. Potter's man was Yip. Fistric's man was Meuller. Fistric decided to change the gameplan, go for a big hit on Yip which was clearly a mistake. This left his man uncovered. An easy pass from Yip to a wide open Meuller sealed this one.
Now to end this big rant, I want to say I'm a huge Mark Fistric fan. Absolutely love him. He made one mistake.. a big one… but I still really like him and think he should be in the line up any chance we get. He is a guy I'd play ahead of Whitney, Peckham or Potter. But I call it like I see it. Oiler fan hate is strong and blinding, however.
Anyways, I've ranted myself out of rant relevant to tonight's game… I'll be away for part of this one as I've got a dinner thing going on tonight. I might PVR the first part. I don't care how crappy the team is, I watch every game.. so to miss a period.. well it's a big deal for me. No bandwagon for this guy!

Masakari/Tempest - Split 7''
2012, Replenish Records
Masakari is possibly one of the most interesting hardcore acts around today. After a only a handful of releases they have quickly established themselves as one of the genre's most progressive and forceful entities, both willing to, as well as eminently able to, blend metal, crust, grind and hardcore in uniquely inventive ways that very few, if any, other band today can duplicate. Their music is so forceful it's unbelievable, there is an edge and an exactness that is razor sharp in all aspects of their music. There is nothing half-assed to anything they do. There are shades of Tragedy, His Hero Is Gone and Discharge bringing both melody, aggression and dissonance to their sound; as well as huge doses of Entombed-styled metal, fleshing out the writing with battering metal riffs, barely contained chaos and a sludgy, implodingly dense heaviness. Here they contribute two versions of the same song. It is a previously unrelesed track, X.Pain Concieved As A Tool, recorded during the The Profit Feeds album sessions. They come in both a studio and a live version. It is a quick rager with lots of bouncy d-beat aggression and a nice Tragedy-like guitar melody weaving in and out of the chaos. The live version is obviously a bit rawer but works really well, both as a track in and of itself but also as a contrast to the fairly polished studio version and displays quite well the ferocity of the band's live performaces.
On this ep they team up with Canadians Tempest, whose style differs quite a bit from Masakaris', but they are nonetheless one of the more interesting bands coming out of this whole dark hardcore style that is evolving out of metal and hardcore today. Their style is extremely dynamic and is moored in lots of chaotic raging black metal-colored aggression, Botch and Converge-like chaotic twisting guitars and monolithic Neurosis-influenced post-hardcore. All of it coated with depressively dark crust-like melodies, infusing everything with an oppressive sense of hopelessness and desperation. Just as with Masakari's contribution, they deliver a live version and a studio version of the same track, titled Death Rattle (off their 2010 Passages album). Death Rattle is one of the bands slightly more accessible songs, where at first dense chaotic riffs and howled/shrieked vocals, goaded on by galloping, fairly complex drumming, all of it drenched in dark atmospheres, batter you with a chokingly heavy attack, but goes on to open up somewhat, with emerging melodies and guitar lines that eventually moves on to a fairly serene ending. It's a complex and also quite beautiful song, in its way, and a nice introduction to the band's music. The live version comes off as slightly more chaotic, no less dense but a bit more brittle than the studio version, but otherwise it's very well executed.
This ep is a benefit release, whose proceeds will go fully to two non-profit canine shelters, one in Cleveland and the other in Vancouver, each band's respective hometowns. You'll find a downloadable version of the ep at the label's bandcamp site here.

text: Seller: palatina (5,768) 100%, Location: Heidelberg, Ships to: Worldwide, Item: 362318808242 Combined shipping is possible! EUROPEAN PREHISTORIC ARTIFACTS BY PALATINA AUTHENTICITY GUARANTEED! From the old collection Archives Prehistoric Europe! Outstanding Middle Paleolithic ( Paleolithic ) scraper Homo Neanderthalensis - the Neanderthal ( Neandertal ) Man Mousterian phase about 40.000 - 60.000 years ago. Wonderful thick patinated marble-like white flint! The Mousterian industry appeared around 200,000 years ago and persisted until about 40,000 years ago, in much the same areas of Europe, the Near East and Africa where Acheulean tools appear. In Europe these tools are most closely associated with Homo neanderthalensis, but elsewhere were made by both Neanderthals and early Homo sapiens. Mousterian tools required a preliminary shaping of the stone core from which the actual blade is struck off. The toolmakers either shaped a rock into a rounded surface before striking off the raised area as a wedge shaped flake (see photo at left), or they shaped the core as a long prism of stone before striking off triangular flakes from its length, like slices from a baguette. Because Mousterian tools were conceived as refinements on a few distinct core shapes, the whole process of making tools had standardized into explicit stages (basic core stone, rough blank, refined final tool). Variations in tool shapes could be produced by changes in the procedures at any stage. A consistent manufacturing goal was to increase as much as possible the cutting area on each blade. Though this made the toolmaking process more labor intensive, it also meant the edges of the tools could be reshaped or sharpened as they dulled, so that each tool lasted longer. The whole toolmaking industry had adapted to get the maximum utility from the labor invested at each step. Tool forms in the Mousterian industry display a wide range of specialized shapes. Cutting tools include notched flakes, denticulate (serrated) flakes, and flake blades similar to Upper Paleolithic tools. Points appear that seem designed for use in spears or lances, some including a tang or stub at the base that allowed the point to be tied into the notched end of a stick. Scrapers appear for the dressing of animal hides, which were probably used for shoes, clothing, bedding, shelter, and carrying sacks. These accumulating material possessions imply a level of social organization and stability comparable to primitive humans today. Because tools were combined with other components (handles, spear shafts) and used in wider applications (dressing hides, shaping wood tools, hunting large game), Mousterian technology was the keystone for many interrelated manufacturing activities in other materials: specialized tools created specialized labor. As these activities evolved and standardized, the efficient and flexible Mousterian toolmaking procedures made possible the accumulation of physical comforts on which wealth and social status are based. Homo sapiens neanderthalensis is the species name given to a homo specimens that inhabited Europe and the Middle East. In 1856 Johann Karl Fuhlrott, a teacher and amateur naturalist, first recognized the fossil called "Neanderthal man", discovered in Neanderthal a valley near Mettmann in what is now North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Homo Neanderthalensis is a distinctive form of archaic Homo sapiens, with a long, flat, braincase (capacity 1200–1750 ccm), a retreating frontal, heavy brow ridge, and a projecting face with a large nose. Contrary to early reconstructions, Neanderthals were fully upright, but had stocky, muscular body build. Fossil evidence indicates Neanderthal characters evolved slowly from the Homo Heidelbergensis about 500.000 years ago, but the full set of features only occur after 100.000 years ago as a result of adaptations to a cold climate. There is a particular concentration of finds in W Europe, where Neanderthals disappear ca. 33.000 years ago with the arrival of anatomically modern humans (H. sapiens sapiens); in SW Asia the two subspecies coexisted for c.60 000 years (100 000–40 000 years ago). Provenance is an old Southern German collection. More details will follow the artifacts. I guarantee absolutely for the authenticity of this wonderful Middle European artifact.

Los Angeles: Michael Lohan defends his daughter Lindsay, who is said to be drinking again after being treated at rehab for alcohol addiction, calling the reports "ridiculous".
Rumour mills were abuzz when Lindsay was seen reaching out a half filled bottle of wine suggesting a relapse.
However, Michael says his daughter doesn't drink wine.
"Oh my god! The story is ridiculous. First of all, I've never known Lindsay to ever, ever, ever have a glass of wine," radaronline.com quoted Michael as saying.
"I speak to Lindsay constantly and every time I do, she is of clear mind and by no means do I have any suspicion of her relapsing in any way," he added.
Lindsay was ordered to stay in a rehabilitation centre for 90 days by a Los Angeles court for treatment of alcohol addiction. She was discharged July 31.

|[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1377) Creation time and modification time for hadoop files and directories
|Wed, 13 Jun 2007 21:01:47 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1377?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12504421 ] Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-1377: --------------------------------------------- DFSClient.java - Please avoid introducing methods with deprecated UTF8. String would be a better in this case. public DFSFileInfo getFileInfo(UTF8 src) throws IOException { FileStatus - all imports are redundant - I think that in terms of different file system compatibility FileStatus should be an interface. For the hdfs we should have a class HDFSFileStatus, which should be a part of DFSFileInfo combining all status fields. That way we will not need to change protocols and internal name-node interfaces when we add/modify status fields. - In the FileStatus constructor you are assigning blockSize to itself. this.blockSize = blockSize; I guess a parameter is missing. DfsPath - I am not sure whether HADOOP-1377 should be built on top of HADOOP-1298 or vise versa, but I agree with Doug that public api should use FileStatus. That is why DfsPath should introduce getFileStatus() rather than getters for each new field. FSDirectory - Rather than multiplying parameters for each method related to meta-data modification I would just add FileStatus as a parameter once. - getFileInfo should not be public and should not have UTF8 as a parameter public DFSFileInfo getFileInfo(UTF8 src) throws IOException {...} Same for FSNamesystem.getFileInfo(). FSEdiLlog - loadFSEdits() has a lot of code replication, which deserves to be wrapped in separate method(s). I'd serialize entire HDFSFileStatus, which is Writable anyway. Same for FSImage, I'd serialize the entire FileStatus. > Creation time and modification time for hadoop files and directories > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1377 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1377 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: dfs > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assignee: dhruba borthakur > Attachments: CreationModificationTime.html, CreationTime.patch > > > This issue will document the requirements, design and implementation of creation times and modification times of hadoop files and directories. > My proposal is to have support two additional attributes for each file and directory in HDFS. The "creation time" is the time when the file/directory was created. It is a 8 byte integer stored in each FSDirectory.INode. The "modification time" is the time when the last modification occured to the file/directory. It is an 8 byte integer stored in the FSDirectory.INode. These two fields are stored in in the FSEdits and FSImage as part of the transaction that created the file/directory. > My current proposal is to not support "access time" for a file/directory. It is costly to implement and current applications might not need it. > In the current implementation, the "modification time" for a file will be same as its creation time because HDFS files are currently unmodifiable. Setting file attributes (e.g. setting the replication factor) of a file does not modify the "modification time" of that file. The "modification time" for a directory is either its creation time or the time when the most recent file-delete or file-create occured in that directory. > A new command named "hadoop dfs -lsl" will display the creation time and modification time of the files/directories that it lists. The output of the existing command "hadoop dfs -ls" will not be affected. > The ClientProtocol will change because DFSFileInfo will have two additional fields: the creation time and modification time of the file that it represents. This information can be retrieved by clients thorugh the ClientProtocol.getListings() method. The FileSystem public API will have two additional methods: getCreationTime and getModificationTime(). > The datanodes are completely transparent to this design and implementation and requires no change. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Source of Gulf Oil Plumes: 7 Miles from Deepwater Horizon
Postby Gnosty » Today, 20:39
After reading the following, I'm sure everyone will also reach the same logical conclusion as I have based on the evidence, facts and truth I'm presenting here. All illustrations are taken directly from the referenced reports cited below.
At Latitude 28/40/00 N and Longitude 88/26/00 W [decimal Latitude 28.6666 Longitude -88.4333] in the Gulf of Mexico is an ancient volcanic crater. It's geographically classified as an undersea hill and the common name given to it is the Biloxi Dome. It's located approximately 7 miles or about 12 kilometers southwest from the BP Deepwater Horizon well [Latitude 28/44/17 N Longitude 88/21/57 W].
In this satellite picture, the Biloxi Dome is at the center of the picture and looks like a shoe or an oblong shaped rim of a volcano:
In this satellite image, the BP Deepwater Horizon well is marked in white and is positioned northeast of the Biloxi Dome crater:
NOAA Underwater Joint Analysis Group Study
NOAA (National Oceanographic and Aeronautical Administration) has now released their underwater study, the Joint Analysis Group (JAG) Review, which examined subsurface oil in and around the BP Deepwater Horizon well #1 - located in Mississippi Canyon block 252 - from May 19 to June 19, 2010.
Their report presented data collected by five research vessels; the R/V Brooks McCall, R/V Ocean Veritas, R/V Walton Smith, R/V Thomas Jefferson, and R/V Gordon Gunter.
They used a scientific method called Fluorometry to measure for underwater oil. Fluorescence Spectroscopy - a/k/a Fluorometry or Spectrofluorometry - is a type of electromagnetic spectroscopy which analyzes fluorescence. It usually utilizes a beam of ultraviolet light that excites the electrons in molecules of certain compounds and causes them to emit light of a lower energy, such as visible light. For more information on how this works, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_spectroscopy.
Conclusions made from their report stated that their Fluorometry measurements showed the presence of oil at a depth between 1000 and 1300 meters. They also concluded that active oil seeps were mapped at about 12 kilometers southwest of the BP Deepwater Horizon wellhead.
As I stated above, the Biloxi Dome is located approximately 12 kilometers southwest of the BP Deepwater Horizon well. This means that NOAA and the Joint Analysis Group positively identified the Biloxi Dome to be the source of the active oil leaks.
Below is a closeup of the leaks from May 19 through June 19 at the (now identified) Biloxi Dome. There are seven major leaks shown as purple colored cylinders from the JAG report:
Included within the NOAA Interim Project Mission Report June 3-11, 2010 aboard NOAA's Research Vessel, the R/V Thomas Jefferson, is a 3D rendering of the Biloxi Dome leaks showing greater detail. At the time, they did not report the location of these major ocean floor leaks. If you look closely at the 3D rendering, you can easily see it shows the seven purple cylinders denoting the identified leaks along the rim of the Biloxi Dome crater.
Oil leaks (red and yellow columns) mapped by Thomas Jefferson, and by Gordon Gunter (purple cylinders) along with CTD stations showing high fluorescence (brown, green and white spheres). Deepwater Horizon well site is in background (red cylinder) and distribution of Bottom Following Reflectors is represented by orange lines.
Using the identified sea floor leaks in the Biloxi Dome crater rim along with the BP Deepwater Wellhead position, and then overlaying that NOAA map with Google Earth, the following image reveals a very clear and startling picture:
Map created by Alexander Higgins
Each verified oil leak along the crater rim of the Biloxi Dome is tagged with numbers 3 through 9. Here are the calculated distances between each identified leak and BP's Deepwater Horizon well #1 along with the Latitude and Longitude locations of each oil leak:
No. / Latitude / Longitude / Kilometer distance / Mileage distance
#3 / 28°40'38.71″N / -88°24'51.74″W / 08.26 km from BP Well / 5.13 miles from BP Well
#4 / 28°40'14.87″N / -88°24'34.36″W / 08.63 km from BP Well / 5.36 miles from BP Well
#5 / 28°41'39.42″N / -88°29'05.44″W / 12.59 km from BP Well / 7.82 miles from BP Well
#6 / 28°41'00.14″N / -88°28'33.90″W / 12.36 km from BP Well / 7.68 miles from BP Well
#7 / 28°40'51.22″N / -88°27'04.30″W / 10.49 km from BP Well / 6.51 miles from BP Well
#8 / 28°40'19.30″N / -88°28'04.34″W / 12.38 km from BP Well / 7.69 miles from BP Well
#9 / 28°39'28.11″N / -88°27'24.13″W / 12.59 km From BP Well / 7.82 miles from BP Well
The average distance between all seven oil leaks and the Deepwater Horizon well is 6.8 miles or 11 kilometers.
I have been repeatedly posting on other forums (including GLP under my User Name Oiled in Florida) and have stated on Free Association Radio hosted by Robert Phoenix that the cause of the major oil plume in the Gulf of Mexico was from a source 7-10 miles away from the well that exploded the Deepwater Horizon rig. My estimated distance was short by 2/10ths of a mile.
The major oil leak source that is creating enormous undersea lakes of oil a/k/a oil plumes - which BP then mixes Corexit into - is the ancient seabed Gulf of Mexico volcanic crater commonly called the Biloxi Dome.
The recent July capping and pressure testing of BP Deepwater Horizon well #1 did NOT cause the Biloxi Dome leaks as they were verified between May 19 and June 19 while the Deepwater Horizon well was still leaking oil.
There is a calculated and deliberate cover-up regarding the facts I have presented above. Not a single talking head on TV nor a single newspaper has dared to report the truth... and that truth is more than obvious to anyone who would have bothered to read the latest JAG Report. Apparently, they can neither read nor do they have any investigative reporters on their payrolls. That includes over 100 days of erroneous, misleading, and downright lying statements made from the DC Executive Mansion as well as the US Coast Guard.

Thanx ME and Robert!

text: The defeat marked Argentina's inaugural match in the new four-nation Rugby Championship competition [EPA]Zane Kirchner, Marcell Coetzee and Bryan Habana grabbed tries as South Africa brushed Argentina aside 27-6 at Newlands on Saturday in their opening match in the inaugural Rugby Championship. The Springbok pack did not yield in defence against the massive opposition forwards and their strong ball-carriers won enough momentum to dominate territory and possession. Flyhalf Morne Steyn steered South Africa to victory, booting three conversions and two penalties and also helping to set up two of the three tries. Argentina's points came from two penalties by flyhalf Juan Martin Hernandez.Early penalty Two incisive attacks down the flanks by wings Habana and Lwazi Mvovo created an early penalty by Steyn but the home side were rocked when hooker Bismarck du Plessis went off with a knee injury. He was replaced by Adriaan Strauss who came on to win his 13th cap. Argentina held on to the ball well in the opening exchanges but could not make any headway against the steely Springbok defence until Hernandez launched a pinpoint up-and-under. Santiago Fernandez dispossessed fullback Kirchner who then played the ball while lying on the ground, gifting Hernandez a penalty to level the scores at 3-3 after 14 minutes. Kirchner made amends with a touchdown, pouncing on a pass from Steyn before cutting inside and evading two tackles. Steyn's conversion made it 10-3 and Argentina, who fell foul of referee Steve Walsh in the first half due to indiscipline, handed three more points to the prolific flyhalf when they were caught offside at a lineout.Indiscipline The Pumas continued to concede penalties and South Africa used rolling mauls to good effect before one of them brought a try as Coetzee broke on the blindside to charge over the line. Steyn booted the touchline conversion to give the Springboks a 20-3 advantage. Hernandez then kicked his second penalty before halftime to reduce the deficit to 20-6 after Strauss had been caught offside. Any hopes Argentina had of getting back in the game were dashed when Hernandez and centre Marcelo Bosch missed three penalties between them in the opening six minutes of the second period. That served to reinvigorate the Springboks as they started pinning the Pumas in their own half. Habana wrapped up victory when he leapt high to claim a crossfield kick from Steyn and plunged over the line. Steyn sent the 39,000 crowd home happy by converting from the touchline. Earlier in the day, New Zealand beat Australia 27-19 at Sydney's Olympic Stadium. SOURCE: Reuters Sport Argentina Australia New Zealand South Africa

Olympic artists Martin Linson and Primo Angeli are the United States Sports Academy's 2013 Sport Artists of the Year.
Linson is an emerging artist who won the United States' first gold medal of the 2012 London Olympics with his sculpture paying tribute to the Paralympic athlete. Angeli is a world-renowned artist who the late International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samaranch personally selected to create the official poster to commemorate the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games.
Both artists will be honored at the Academy's annual Awards of Sport event, "A Tribute to the Artist and the Athlete," scheduled at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Daphne, Ala., campus.
The 36-year-old Linson won first prize in the IOC's Sport and Art Contest in the sculpture category with his bronze, "Omnipotent Triumph" that was displayed at the London Games. The St. Charles, Mo., sculptor became the second American artist in the past three Olympiads to win the international art competition.
Selected from entries from 62 nations by an IOC jury with judges from five continents, Linson's bronze sculpture features an Olympian crossing the finish line in his wheelchair with his arms uplifted in a triumphant "V" for victory pose.
Angeli, who founded and headed one of San Francisco's oldest and largest design studios, won the U.S. Olympic Sport and Art Contest. Angeli's mixed-media illustration, "London Calling," depicts the classic portrayal of the ancient Greek discus thrower, Discopolis, who wears an armband bearing the 2012 London Olympic. The piece integrates contemporary branding with ancient fine art for an Olympic celebration.
Dr. Thomas P. Rosandich, a member of the IOC's Culture and Olympic Education Commission, served on the judging committee for the art entered into the 2012 London Olympic Sport and Art Contest. The Academy president and CEO also founded in 1984 the American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA), which conducted by the U.S. contest in cooperation with the Art of the Olympians and under the auspices of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). It was the fourth consecutive U.S. Olympic Sport and Art contest that the Academy's ASAMA has overseen.
"These are two excellent artists who have embodied the Olympic Movement through their artworks," Dr. Rosandich said. "We are honored and proud that they are our newest Sport Artists of the Year."
The Sport Artist of the Year Award has been presented the past 28 years to an individual who captures the spirit and life of sport so that future generations can relive the drama of today's competition. The recipients, which includes artists who are well-known throughout the world, use a variety of art media to depict the breadth and scope of both the agony and the ecstasy of sport.
ASAMA, a division of the Academy, is arguably the largest sport art collection in the world. The ASAMA collection is composed of nearly 1,700 works of sport art across a variety of media, including paintings, sculptures, assemblages, prints and photographs. The museum is open free to the public from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays.
Linson qualified for the IOC art competition when he won the U.S. Olympic Sport and Art Contest in February. Linson's joined American Sergey Eylanbekov, whose sculpture, "Five Continents," won the IOC Sport Art Competition for the 2004 Athens Olympics.
Linson, who finished as the runner-up in the U.S. Olympic Sport and Art Contest in 2008, has a unique style in the representation of the human anatomy that has brought him major commissions, such as the President of Lindenwood University. Linson has studied under well-known, St. Louis-area sculptors Harry Weber, the 2011 Sport Artist of the Year, and Don Wiegand. Linson has other works displayed in numerous private collections.
He teaches art at Lindenwood and The St. Louis Art Institute, and he is the owner of Linson Studios and Lighthouse Screen Printing.
Angeli, a creative director and designer, became a major player in the fields of branding, corporate identity, packaging and naming. He also has a long history as an Olympic artist with his piece for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. He did official designs as well for the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics and for the U.S. Olympic Team for 1998 Nagano and 2000 Sydney.
Angeli has been busy finishing his latest book "Primo," which is scheduled for release later this year. Already Angeli, whose designs have been featured in major publications throughout the world, has had two other books published—"Twelve Stories" by Rockport Press and "Making People Respond" by Madison Square Press.
His artwork can be found in permanent collections and exhibitions worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institution, Library of Congress, Cooper-Hewitt Museum, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw Poster Collection, Centre Pompidou, the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, and the Achenbach Collection at the Legion of Honor. In addition, he has been recognized for numerous awards.

NORTH DARTMOUTH, Mass.—For the second consecutive season, junior outfielder Kristina Bove (Medford, Mass.) has been named to the Little East Conference All-Conference Softball Team, the league office announced Tuesday afternoon.
Bove was named to the Second Team for the second-straight season and becomes the first Beacon outfielder in program history to earn multiple All-Conference accolades. She joins former teammate Sue Killilea ('12) and Andrea Ciarletta ('07) as the only Beacons in program-history to have been named to the LEC All-Conference Teams on more than one occasion.
The Medford, Mass. native moved up in the lineup and was the most consistent hitter all season long for the Beacons, while playing stellar defense in left field.
Bove led UMass Boston with her .396 batting average, .470 on-base percentage and 40 total hits. She also tied for the team-lead with her nine doubles and ranked second with 16 runs batted in and a .485 slugging percentage.
On the base paths, Bove swiped a career-high six stolen bases on six attempts and tied for second on the squad with her 14 runs scored.
She ranked amongst the top 10 in the Little East Conference in batting average (sixth), on-base percentage (third) and hit by pitches (tied for first with four).
In 36 games played, Bove hit safely in 25 contests and reached base in 29 of 36 games. The second-year Beacon recorded 11 multiple-hit games and registered a career-high 10-game hitting streak in early April.
Bove enjoyed one of the best doubleheaders of her season on April 10 in a sweep of Framingham State University. She finished 5-for-6 with five runs scored and three RBI, to help UMass Boston earn their lone home doubleheader sweep of the year.
Two weeks later, Bove led the Beacons to their only two LEC wins of the season, with a career day at the University of Southern Maine. The Beacons' leadoff hitter finished 4-for-7 with two doubles and four RBI, including recording the game-winning RBI single in the Beacons' 6-5 game one victory.

Central Oregon Viewing Report 4/22/09
by ODFW
Prineville Area
Resident ducks and geese are to pairing up in preparation for nesting along the Crooked River and Prineville Reservoir Wildlife Management Area which is home to a variety of shorebirds and nesting birds of prey. The access road along the north side of Prineville Reservoir through the area is open and offers great opportunities for camping, hiking and wildlife viewing..
Directions to the wildlife area: From Prineville, take Paulina Highway 1.7 miles. Turn right onto Juniper Canyon Road at the Prineville Reservoir State Park sign. Take Juniper Canyon Road 12.5 miles to Prineville Reservoir State Park. Access to the wildlife area is a primitive dirt road in the northeast corner of the state park. Visitors also may continue southeast along Paulina Highway for 15 miles (from Prineville) and turn right at the bottom of the hill after passing Eagle Rock near milepost 14 onto the signed wildlife area primitive roadway. For more information, visit ODFW's Web site.
The Dalles
Spring is here, and neotropical migrants are right behind it. This is a great time of year to take a hike in the Columbia River gorge. The gorge is host to many migrant songbirds in the spring, as well as a great place to find wildflowers and other wildlife. The Mosier Twin Tunnels provides a great hard surface trail to avoid the spring mud. For more information visit Oregon State Parks Web site.
The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center is now hosting a raptor interpretive program on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays except holidays. Visitors will get to see the Center's Bald Eagle up close and personnel, as well as learn about other raptors in the program. For more information on the raptor program.
White River Wildlife Area
Visitors to the area can see a wide variety of birds, including Lewis' Woodpeckers, Cooper's hawks and pileated woodpecker's
From The Dalles, travel 34 miles south on Hwy. 197 to the blinking light at Tygh Valley. Turn right into Tygh Valley and follow the signs to Wamic on Wamic Market Road. Continue straight ahead on Dodson Road rather than follow the sharp curve. Continue on Dodson Road through three 90-degree turns. Turn left on the gravel road 1/4 mile past the last curve, and continue 1-1/2 miles to the cattleguard and area signs. The wildlife area headquarters is located 1/2 mile past the cattleguard. For more information, visit ODFW Web site.
Lower Deschutes Wildlife Area
Many different species frequent the Deschutes Canyon at this time of year with opportunities to view a wide variety of waterbirds, passerines, deer and bighorn sheep. Bighorn sheep are a common site in the canyon. One of the most popular spots to view Bighorn rams is across the river from Jones campground, along the Mack's canyon access road. Bighorn ewes are now congregating in large cliff areas to have their lambs. One area where visitors can view bighorn lambs is in the cliffs across from Beavertail campground along the Mack's canyon access road. Good binoculars and a spotting scope will improve the odds of viewing sheep.
