ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - Promoters of electric cars are hoping to entice a few of Orlando's 56 million annual visitors to rent one at the airport and plug in at strategically placed charging stations at tourist hotels, theme parks and the convention center.
The goal of Drive Electric Orlando, which officially kicked off on Thursday with 15 Nissan Leaf cars, is to encourage broader adoption of electric vehicles by providing visitors with what amounts to an extended test drive during their stay.
"The best way is to get someone behind the wheel to drive it," said Sam Ori, vice president of the Electrification Coalition, a not-for-profit group of business leaders interested in developing an electric transportation system.
Electric cars have been slow to catch on around the nation in part because of sparce supportive infrastructure such as charging stations in some areas as well as consumer concerns about cars' limited distances on a single charge and the wait times for recharging.
The Orlando initiative is the first in the nation to exclusively target tourists, according to Ashley White, spokeswoman for the Coalition, which sponsored the plan.
Orlando is one of the world's largest rental car markets, thanks to Walt Disney World, other major tourist attractions, and the Orange County Convention Center, which is United States' second-largest convention center and helps draw 10 million business travelers a year.
The initiative will start with 15 electric cars available through Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and charging stations at 26 hotels. Nissan Motor Co donated 30 fast chargers to be installed at key locations, including 480-volt chargers capable of recharging a car in 30 minutes.
All three major theme parks - Disney, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando - have committed to installing recharging stations, White said.
The city of Orlando in recent years installed 300 charging stations within 70 miles of the city's downtown core through a federal grant program designed to boost development of electric car infrastructure.
Those who choose to participate can pick up what White called "competitively priced" electric cars for as low as $30 a day, and get perks such as free GPS, which can locate the nearest charging stations in some rental vehicles, and free valet service and overnight charging at some hotels.
While several cities offer electric car sharing programs, green energy advocates say the Orlando project is unique in its effort to create a coordinated EV ecosystem for tourists.
"What Orlando is doing is a good step, but each one of these components has been tried before," said Chelsea Sexton, an independent electric car advocate in California who was featured in the documentary movie, "Who Killed the Electric Car?", about the demise of the electric car industry in the 1990s.
Car rental companies, hotels and even Disney in California, experimented with electric cars in the 1990s before they were phased out.
"The test will be if this effort has enough coordination between the different stake holders to create a different experience than the last time around," she said.
San Diego has an extensive and innovative point-to-point EV car sharing program, EVGo, according to Max Baumhefner with the Natural Resources Defense Council in San Francisco.
BMW's DriveNow electric car sharing program in the San Francisco Bay Area also has locations at San Francisco airport and in various places in the city.
The Electrification Coalition also is behind Drive Electric Northern Colorado, launched in February to create a model electric vehicle community in the cities of Fort Collins and Loveland, including Colorado State University.
Coalition chairman Seifi Ghasemi, who is CEO of a chemical company Rockwood Holdings Inc, said weaning the country from oil is good for national security, the economy and the environment.
"Even if we convert 10 percent of them (drivers) it will go a long way. The important thing is just to get it started," Ghasemi said.

SCons / SConscript()
The SCons wiki has moved to https://github.com/SCons/scons/wiki/SConscript()
SConscript(scripts, [exports, variant_dir, src_dir, duplicate])
env.SConscript(scripts, [exports, variant_dir, src_dir, duplicate])
SConscript(dirs=subdirs, [name=script, exports, variant_dir, src_dir, duplicate])
env.SConscript(dirs=subdirs, [name=script, exports, variant_dir, src_dir, duplicate])
This tells scons to execute one or more subsidiary SConscript (configuration) files. There are two ways to call the SConscript() function.
The first way you can call SConscript() is to explicitly specify one or more scripts as the first argument. A single script may be specified as a string; multiple scripts must be specified as a list (either explicitly or as created by a function like Split()).
The second way you can call SConscript() is to specify a list of (sub)directory names as a dirs=subdirs keyword argument. In this case, scons will, by default, execute a subsidiary configuration file named 'SConscript' in each of the specified directories. You may specify a name other than SConscript by supplying an optional name=script keyword argument.
The optional exports argument provides a list of variable names or a dictionary of named values to export to the script(s). These variables are locally exported only to the specified script(s), and do not affect the global pool of variables used by the Export() function. The subsidiary script(s) must use the Import() function to import the variables.
In effect, the optional variant_dir argument causes the files (and subdirectories) in the directory where script resides to be copied to variant_dir and the build performed in variant_dir. Thus, all of the targets (for example, object files and executables) that would normally be built in (or underneath) the directory containing script would actually be built in (or underneath) variant_dir. See the description of the VariantDir() function for the details and restrictions. variant_dir is interpreted relative to the directory of the calling SConscript file.
Normally, the source for the variant build is the directory containing script. If the sources are not in script's directory, the optional src_dir argument provides the location of the sources. src_dir is interpreted relative to the directory of the calling SConscript file.
By default, scons will link or copy (depending on the platform) all the source files into the variant directory tree. This behavior may be disabled by setting the optional duplicate argument to 0 (it is set to 1 by default), in which case scons will refer directly to the source files in their source directory when building target files. See the description for VariantDir() for the details and restrictions.
Any variables returned by script using Return() will be returned by the call to SConscript().
#!python SConscript('subdir/SConscript') foo = SConscript('sub/SConscript', exports='env') SConscript('dir/SConscript', exports=['env', 'variable']) SConscript('src/SConscript', variant_dir='build', duplicate=0) SConscript('bld/SConscript', src_dir='src', exports='env variable') SConscript(dirs=['sub1', 'sub2']) SConscript(dirs=['sub3', 'sub4'], name='MySConscript')

See PANUPS updates service, for complete information.
The study, "Acute Illnesses Associated With Pesticide Exposure at Schools," examined state surveillance data in the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks pesticides program and from the California Department of Pesticide Regulation, and a national database of calls made to poison control centers in the Toxic Exposure Surveillance Systems. The study reported incidence rates of pesticide related illness of 7.4 cases per million for students and 27.3 cases per million for employees, but emphasized that individuals needed to seek medical care and be reported in order to be counted in the study. Pesticide related illnesses are grossly under-reported for a number of reasons: individuals may not seek or be able to afford medical care, doctors are often not trained to recognize pesticide related illness, and symptoms of minor or even moderate pesticide poisoning can resemble those of other common illnesses.
Children were the victims in 76% of the reported cases, and insecticides alone or combined with other pesticides were most often responsible-for 895 cases (or 35% of the total incidents). Disinfectants caused 830 cases (32%), repellants were responsible for 335 incidents (13%) and herbicides were the cause in 279 cases (11%).
Organophosphates were the class of insecticides most frequently responsible for poisonings. Children are more vulnerable than adults to the effects of organophosphate pesticides, which have been linked in animal studies to developmental delays, behavioral disorders and motor dysfunction. In both laboratory animals and humans, exposure to chlorpyrifos, one of the most commonly used organophosphate pesticides, can cause delayed effects on the nervous system, sometimes occurring years after exposure.
The study focused on acute pesticide exposure, but the authors expressed considerable concern for long term effects, "Repeated pesticide applications on school grounds raise concerns about persistent low level exposures to pesticides at schools." The authors continued, "The chronic long-term impacts of pesticide exposures have not been comprehensively evaluated; therefore, the potential for chronic health effects from pesticide exposures at schools should not be dismissed. Unfortunately, the surveillance methods used in our report are inadequate for assessing chronic effects." The authors also noted that pesticides on school grounds can be tracked inside school buildings. Once inside, pesticides breakdown more slowly, with residues remaining for months or even years.
Federal legislation to require safer pest control in schools has been stalled in the U.S. House of Representatives for several years. Introduced in 1999 and adopted twice by the Senate, the School Environmental Protection Act requires schools to adopt less toxic methods of pest control, and notify parents and staff when pesticides are applied on school grounds. The legislation is the product of years of work by parent coalitions working to bring safer pest control practices to their schools. A 2003 report by the School Pesticide Reform Coalition and Beyond Pesticides provides models for parents and school districts of least toxic pest control with profiles of 27 school districts avoiding use of hazardous pesticides. The Coalition is now collecting pledges to its School Pesticide Reform Protocol on its website, which includes detailed arguments to present to school boards and administrators.
In the absence of a federal mandate, state policies on pesticide use in schools are widely disparate and provide mixed protections. Sixteen states require posting of signs for pesticide applications indoors or outdoors, 25 require posting for applications on school grounds. Twenty-one states require parents to be notified when pesticides are applied, 10 restrict certain highly toxic pesticides in schools, and 16 states recommend or require use of Integrated Pest Management. Only seven states attempt to control pesticide drift by restricting applications near schools.

We believe that teachers are Developers of Human Potential. Martha Berry, the founder of Berry College, saw potential where others did not in the Appalachian children for whom the Berry Schools and, later, the College were established. Like Martha Berry, we also believe the role of excellent teachers is to develop the potential every student has to gain a lifelong appreciation of learning; to acquire the basic skills and wide repertoire of thinking strategies with which to construct and evaluate knowledge; to become morally responsible and fully participating partners in a democratic society within an ever-changing world; to develop and enhance positive self-esteem; and to work cooperatively with others to foster changes in society.
The mission of the college has long been to develop the head, heart, and hands of students through the academic programs, the religion-in-life program, and the emphasis on practical work. We believe that in order to be Developers of Human Potential, teachers should DO similar things: (1) Promote Reflection and Decision Making (head), (2) Facilitate Learning (hands), and (3) Enhance Self and Social Awareness (heart). Teachers who earn a degree from Berry College must model these roles in their classrooms and support all children in exploring their cognitive and affective growth. Teachers facilitate learning through effective use of technology, selection of appropriate content materials, and implementation of a wide range of instructional strategies.

"I'm so sorry. So fucking sorry…" He trailed off, then suddenly thought back to the moment his band mate, his best friend, had shouted at him, sneering that he never wanted to see him again, and his whole being just suddenly dissolved into corazón wrenching sobs.

"- go down," I heard laughter.
"What?" My voice echoed off the steel walls as I sat bolt upright in my uncomfortable bed.
"- world go down," that same voice. It was starting to sound louder, as if the owner of the voice was getting closer to me. A shiver ran down my spine.
"Where am I? What's going on? Please tell me!" I was starting to panic as my chest seized up, and my breathing quickened.
"Shh, it's ok," a whisper wrapped around me and I instantly relaxed. I yawned.
The Rev "Seized The Day" to conquer the "City of Evil" in "Bat Country" and forced the "Beast and the Harlot" to "Scream" their "Unholy Confessions". He left them "Trashed and Scatered" and "Blinded In Chains" with the "Strenght of the World". "A Little Piece of Heaven" in his "Afterlife", now he is "M.I.A" an his "Nightmare" has come to pass. R.I.P. Jimmy "The Rev" Sillvan, you're gone but NEVER frogotten...
I pledge allengence to the Death Bat, of the City of Evil, and to the música we love, one nation under Avenged. With Gates, Shadows, Plague, Christ and Vengeance for all....
Life for me ain't been no Avenged Sevenfold concert
Its had broken instruments and stage lights
And no excited fans,
And no positive energy,
And too much negative energy and sadness-
But all the time.
I've been jumping,
And screaming in excitement,
And sometimes dancing and canto along
Where the band and crowd lost energy
So don't tu give up hope.
Don't tu stop playing
'Cause tu find that tu can't play without him.
1. Your walls are covered "Avenged Sevenfold" posters and items.
2. tu say the last ten concerts they did, despite their location.
3. tu follow their tour bus.
4. tu find yourself in a situation like that of their song: "A Little Piece of Heaven".
5. tu lost your contact, and it's somewhere near your Avenged Sevenfold posters, and Avenged Sevenfold CDs.
6. There's a guy at the door and he knows tu estola the new Avenged Sevenfold album.
7. Not even M Shadows can beat tu when it comes to remembering lyrics to their songs.
And so has passed the batería, baterista of Avenged Sevenfold. The Rev. Though it was awhile ago, I still find myself a little broken inside. No I didn't know him personally but he always seemed to be a good guy and was really funny in the "All Excess" documentary and the rest of the band really seemed to live him. Despite what cruelity that was forced on the band, they're still going. It takes the strength of all of them, espically with all that they've been through to keep it up but the sheer horror of it is saddening.
In what will be his first true solo album, rock icono slash announced today his CD, SLASH, will release in April 2010. The album features an all-star roster of guest musicians including Ian Astbury, Chris Cornell, Rocco DeLuca, Fergie, Dave Grohl, Myles Kennedy, Kid Rock, Lemmy Kilmeister, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Duff McKagan, M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, and Andrew Stockdale of Wolfmother.
M Shadows is featured on the 11th track of the album, called "Nothing To Say". tu can pick up the album everywhere on April 6th, and vista previa 30 segundo clips from...
Ok, I have an idea of what I think on this topic, but i would like to get dome feedback on others out there who amor A7X just as much as I do.
Throughout their carrer as a band, Avenged Sevenfold has changed their style as each album goes por and yet they still manage to stay true to the meaning of their band. Many, as it seems to me, have a hard time trying to figure that meaning out though it seems. Let's help out those people.

BEIJING/FRANKFURT (Reuters) - China, the euro zone and Britain loosened monetary policy in the space of less than an hour on Thursday, signaling a growing level of alarm about the world economy, although suggestions of coordinated action were played down.
Of the three, the surprise move was from Beijing which lowered its lending rate by 31 basis points to 6 percent following an interest rate cut just a month ago that also came out of the blue.
The European Central Bank cut rates to a record low 0.75 percent following a dire run of economic data. But it steered clear of bolder moves such as reviving its government bond-buying program or flooding banks with more long-term liquidity.
Still, a Reuters poll found the ECB is expected to follow the rate cut with more steps to help the region's economy in coming months.
The Bank of England, whose rates are already at a record low 0.5 percent, said it would restart its printing presses and buy 50 billion pounds ($78 billion) of assets with newly created money to help the economy out of recession.
"It is a surprise that they are moving so quickly. It shows that policymakers' concerns about the global economy have only grown," Mark Williams, an economist at Capital Economics in London, said of the People's Bank of China's action.
A raft of Chinese data is due next week, including second-quarter gross domestic product that officials may know to be poor, he said. But they may also be trying to foster suggestions of acting in concert.
"Policymakers may have felt that cutting rates on the day that the ECB (did) the same would deliver a bigger impact, encouraging talk of a coordinated response to the slowdown in the global economy," Williams said. "Again, though, this might simply underline the seriousness of the downside risks."
In Frankfurt, ECB President Mario Draghi denied any globally coordinated central bank action of the sort seen after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
"On coordination, no, there wasn't any ... that went beyond the normal exchange of views on the state of the business cycle, on the state of the economy, and on the state of global demand," he told a news conference.
Asked if conditions were now as bad as they were in late 2008 when the world's financial system was teetering, Draghi replied: "Definitely not."
The action puts even more focus on what the U.S. Federal Reserve will do when it holds its next meeting on July 31 and August 1. The Bank of Japan meets next week.
Last month, the Fed held off on another round of bond-buying but its chief, Ben Bernanke, said there was "considerable scope to do more" and Wall Street bond firms polled by Reuters saw a 50 percent chance of another asset purchase program.
Some encouraging data on the labor market on Thursday tempered anticipation the central bank could undertake a third round of bond purchases, known as quantitative easing or QE3.
But more weight will be given to Friday's nonfarm payrolls report, which is expected to show job growth picked up in June but still remained tepid at 90,000 jobs.
"If we get a couple of more bad jobs reports, (the Fed) will come in with more stimulus. Today's reports suggest they might hold off, but they will want to see more data before they decide," said John Canally, economist and investment strategist at LPL Financial in Boston.
In recent weeks, economic evidence from Asia, Europe and the United States has pointed to a world economy running out of steam.
All the major central banks, with interest rates at historic lows, face the law of diminishing returns.
The Bank of England had already created 325 billion pounds of new money before Thursday's addition. In doing so, it has successfully driven borrowing costs to all-time lows, yet the UK economy is languishing in recession.
"The BoE has been excessively optimistic about how powerful QE is," said Philip Rush, an economist at Nomura, referring to the money-creating strategies known as qualitative easing.
"The latest increase is more than just a token, but it is not hugely significant for the outlook for growth and inflation."
A poll conducted by Reuters found 27 out of 47 economists believe the central bank will stop at the announced 375 billion pounds in total. A minority said the BoE would do more, with a few still calling for as much as 500 billion.
The euro zone is no better off. "We see now a weakening basically of growth in the whole of the euro area, including the country or the countries that had not experienced that before," Draghi said.
Policymakers could counter that things would be much worse if they had not acted, but with most monetary policy levers already pulled, government action is also required to improve the world's fortunes.
The International Monetary Fund has urged the United States to quickly remove the uncertainty over the path of fiscal policy, which is set to tighten abruptly at the start of next year without congressional action.
Measures announced at a European summit last week bought some calm to the euro zone debt crisis with the promise of action to lower government borrowing costs, but economists say they did not tackle the root problems.
The ECB continues to put the onus on euro zone governments to solve their debt crisis and did not even discuss on Thursday "non-standard" measures such as buying Spanish and Italian bonds to lower borrowing costs which are not sustainable indefinitely.
Elsewhere, Denmark's central bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points, shadowing the ECB's action, in a historic move that put one of its secondary rates into negative territory for the first time. Kenya ended its nine-months-long hawkish stance with a bigger-than-expected 150 basis points rate cut. ($1 = 0.6419 British pounds)

"If anything I said this morning has been misconstrued to the opposite effect, I want to apologize for that misconstruction."
That was Texas Rep. Joe Barton's apology for an apology — his ridiculously noncommittal backpedaling after telling BP chief Tony Hayward on June 17 how "ashamed" he was about our government's failure to be nicer about the worst oil spill in history. A plan to force BP to set up a $20-billion escrow fund to cover the damage was, Barton said, "a tragedy of the first proportion."
After every sober citizen who owns a television gasped at the utter perversity of Barton's logic, he tried to make things right with the above-quoted apology. And, in less than a day, Barton had given word parsers more fodder than Yogi Berra and Bill Clinton combined. Barton's grasp of the word "tragedy" alone could fuel a million blogs, not to mention his concept of "apology."
But unlike the professional pundits who parse words to get to their meaning, I scrutinize even the less-meaningful stuff. And though I'm still reeling from the content of Barton's message, I've recovered enough to notice something about its form, specifically, his use of "misconstruction."
The word sounded odd to me, so I did some digging.
Many people don't know how to find help with matters like this or even how to choose between "drank" and "drunk," "swam" and "swum," and "stank" and "stunk." But the answer to all these questions is right at your fingertips. All you have to do is spend a few moments learning how to better use the dictionary.
Everyone knows that the dictionary is the place to turn if you need a correct spelling or a word definition. But there's a ton of other great information in there for anyone who knows how to access it.
For example, every irregular verb in the dictionary is accompanied by its "inflected forms." So if you look up "drink" you'll see next to it "drank, drunk, drinking." These entries follow a formula, usually explained clearly in the front of the dictionary: The first form is the simple past tense, the second is the past participle, and the third is the progressive or "ing" participle. You already know all there is to know about the simple past tense — "Joe drank" — and the progressive participle — "Joe is drinking." The past participle is almost as easy: Just remember that it's the one that goes with a form of "have": "Joe has drunk."
But wait, some might say, what about "Joe is drunk" or "Joe is a drunk man"? Well, in those two cases, "drunk" is being used as an adjective. Adjectives get their own separate entries in the dictionary. So if you turn straight to "drunk" you'll see that you were right: it's not just a past participle, it's also an adjective. The same strategy can solve the "hanged" vs. "hung" mystery in minutes flat.
For many words, dictionaries include "related forms," usually at the very end of the entry. For example, the noun forms of a verb you've looked up or the adjective form of a noun. And that brings us back to Barton.
To figure out whether he was wrong, I went straight to the root word, "construe." "Webster's New World College Dictionary" told me that its related noun form is "construal." So I sat down to write a column about Barton's mistake, but at the last minute had a rare flash of wisdom. Just to play it safe, I looked up "misconstrue." And there, to my shock, I saw that the related form is not "misconstrual" but "misconstruction."
That's just one dictionary's view. Yours may disagree. But I'm just glad I didn't ridicule Barton, thereby inflicting on him a tragedy of the first degree.

Move or remodel? If you are dissatisfied with your home, you might wonder whether it's better to buy another house or remodel the one you own. The choice involves both financial and emotional calculations.
Continue Reading Below
"Deciding whether to move or to remodel is a life conversation, not just a money conversation," says Justin Krane, president of Krane Financial Solutions, in Los Angeles. "You should always start with life first, because thinking about money first can get in the way of figuring out what we really want."
Chris Terrill, CEO of ServiceMagic in Golden, Colo., says homeowners need to start the decision-making process by evaluating their motivations for change.
"I think people have become more aware that they need to 'move with a purpose,'" Terrill says. "If you must relocate for your job or your commute is too long, that's one thing, but if you feel you've hit the maximum capacity of your space, you may want to consider investing in your existing home."
Once you've evaluated your desire, such as for more space, think hard about the emotional aspect of moving.
"If you love your neighborhood, your neighbors, your backyard, your commute and your children's school, then you need to realize that these are things that are hard to replace," says Dan Fritschen, creator of RemodelOrMove.com and author of "Remodel or Move? Make the Right Decision." "You need to think about how your home functions during the entire year, including your ability to entertain."
Financial implications of moving
Before deciding to move, consult a real estate agent and a lender to get an evaluation of your home's market value, the cost of the type of home you want to buy and your financing options.
"Your new mortgage payments could be lower because of today's low mortgage rates and low home prices, which could offset a lower-than-expected sales price on your home," Fritschen says. "You also need to know the difference in property taxes and calculate the potential money you may need to spend to get the next house fixed to your preferences."
Terrill adds: "The real cost of selling includes the real estate commission on the sale, possibly some repairs on your home before you can sell it, closing costs on your new property, moving costs and perhaps new furniture."
Financial Implications of Remodeling
While Krane recommends funding a remodel through cash flow or savings, he says a home equity loan could be an option for some homeowners as long as they have a repayment plan.
Fritschen says homeowners with equity may be able to refinance and pull cash out for a remodel, or refinance into a Federal Housing Administration 203(k) loan that allows the borrower to wrap remodeling costs into the new mortgage.
"You need to get a feel for what your project will cost before you can decide if it's worth it," Fritschen says. "Then you can estimate potential appreciation in your home value from the project. It's also important to think about the intangible value of the improvement in terms of your quality of life."
Terrill says adding square footage can be the best remodeling investment, followed by fixing up a kitchen or bathroom. He urges caution about over-improving the home for the neighborhood.
"If you are living in a community of $250,000 homes and you upgrade with a $150,000 kitchen, you may not get your money back when you sell," Terrill says. "On the other hand, if you love cooking and you can afford it, the renovation has emotional value."
Terrill says homeowners should use a variety of resources, including local contractors, real estate agents, neighbors, online resources and visits to open houses to estimate whether a project would be an over-improvement for the neighborhood.

By Mike Rogge
Yesterday afternoon, before a boondoggle in our publisher's office, Editor John Stifter and I received the same press release in our respective inboxes. This isn't uncommon in the POWDER Headquarters. Many people are pushing a lot of ideas often.
Check this out! Check that out! Check me out!
We get it.
This release, however, had a big number attached to it. $100,000 to be exact. And the person holding that dough? Teton Gravity Research. They had our attention. Shortly thereafter, Twitter and Facebook started lighting up. ESPN Freeskiing Editor Megan Michelson, as she often does, got the scoop, and TGR released the video below announcing The Co/Lab contest.
Yep, you heard that right folks. One hundred thousand dollars for the best online video edit of the 2012/2013 season. Holy Schmidt! The skeptic in me thought there had to be a catch. If there was an endemic sponsor attached to this, it wouldn't be as successful. Few skiers would enter a contest put on by their sponsors or an opposing sponsor at that. It's why Sean Pettit, a K2 athlete, would never enter a Salomon Jib Academy. There's not much for him to gain. And it's why no one has ever done something like this with this amount of money. Too many conflicts for it to be truly open.
I called up TGR Co-Founder Todd Jones to get more information on this scarcely detailed, yet highly intriguing contest. We also chatted about the upcoming film, The Dream Factory, and discussed women in ski films.
Powder: What are the sponsor affiliations? Who is affiliated with this program? Who is putting up the $100,000?
Todd Jones: No. TetonGravity.com is sponsoring the event.
Again, to make it clear, you're saying there will be no sponsor conflicts affiliated with this event?
Negative. There will be no sponsor conflicts.
Where did this idea come from?
You know it's something we've been talking about for a long time. We've done a bunch of video contests. We did a P.O.V. of the Year contest probably four years ago. We did the grom contest and we've just been really active in the digital space. We put our first QuickTime clip on our site back in 1996. We're watching all of these amazing edits come out mid-season. In the same way I have the same access to the same cameras Peter Jackson filmed The Hobbit on, we have kids fresh out of film school or skiers with an artistic notion that have access to the same cameras we have, and so the level of editing and production has skyrocketed. YouTube had this look four or five years ago, and advertisers were trying to mimic the shaky-cam look. Now what you see in a YouTube edit is really high production value and really high quality.
We thought it would be really cool to do an open source project voted on by the people, give everyone a level playing field and equal opportunity to go up. We wanted to make a big splash with it, so we put up a big prize.
Do all of the edits need to be uploaded through your video player?
We'll be releasing details on the contest throughout the summer. We're ironing through some stuff with different legal things.
Let's say a skier uploads his edit in this contest. Does TGR now own that footage?
No. This is not an attempt to own footage. We obviously will need certain rights to perform the contest, which we'll specify soon, but we're not going to sit on people's footage and we're not taking ownership of their footage.
What kind of turn out are you expecting?
We don't really know. We expect a solid turnout. A solid 100 high-quality entries would be successful in my opinion. If we get way more than that, that's great.
You're a former pro skier and obviously a cinematographer and a producer. You've been moving more into the digital space as a media company the last few years. Tell me about the learning process for you and your brother [Steve Jones].
It's been great but it's always been about the talent. When we made The Continuum we asked, "Can we make a film?" And it was scary. As a pro athlete, I always liked being out on the edge and tickling the unknown. I think everything we've been doing in the media space and platform has been to challenge ourselves and progress TGR. We never wanted it to be just a ski movie company. It was always about being an action sports brand and a media space. We've always known that having a big footprint in media is very important to your success. You need to reach people, or it doesn't matter how good your stuff is.
Let's switch gears and talk about The Dream Factory. What came first, the chicken or the egg? Did you go into the season wanting to only film in Alaska, or was that a result of lack of snow seemingly everywhere else?
It was based off of snow. We planned for three months. We were going to Russia, Austria, and all over. We had trips fully planned out. In December, we had a vibe that it was going to be a funky snow year. Our Russian location was having difficulty with snowpack and all of the lower 48, some of Canada. So we shifted gears and threw three months of work out the window and re-planned it in about three weeks. It was challenging, I'll tell you that much.
When is the trailer being released?
That's a good question. I don't have the answer, but I would guess in about a month. It's a really elaborate film. We probably shot about 50 interviews for it, and there's a lot of archival footage. It touches on the history of Alaska, the history of skiing in Alaska, and the current state of skiing in Alaska.
How do you do the annual Jackson Hole segment in an all Alaska movie?
The tie-in there is Coombs and the Jackson Hole Air Force. They were one of the early crews that went up there, so there's the connection in the film.
Who are the new guys to look out for in the new film?
Dash [Longe], who's not new, came on one of the big AK heli trips and just lit it up. He's going to have his best segment ever, which is very cool. Durtschi is new to our film. He brings a really groovy, artistic style to skiing. Clayton Vila and Cam Riley, who are Stept guys. We were going to do an urban trip with [Nick] Martini, who was injured, so he connected us with those guys. They lit it up. That was a super successful trip and they're amazing skiers. They worked as hard as anyone I've ever worked with. And then Angel Collinson is a new face. She's definitely one of the up and coming female riders. One of the better ones I've seen in a while.
How important is it to have a strong female presence in your film?
We don't really look at it like that. Certain people have the right DNA. There's obviously a ton of sick riders out there. Angel came to us through some athlete recommendations and sponsor alliances (Ed's Note: Angel Collinson is sponsored by The North Face, a presenting sponsor of TGR's annual film). We hooked up with her and she just fit the mold. It's awesome to have, but it's not necessarily something we're out scrounging for. There's always room for it. We had Grete [Eliassen] last year, she was injured this year, but we loved filming with her. It wouldn't be out of the ordinary to have Grete and Angel in a film. The important thing is if it's clicking. It's a really important relationship between filmer and athlete, and both of those girls clicked with our team, our filmers, and they get the film game. They're pretty exceptional.

Between the Trees from Savage Films on Vimeo.
Squamish offers a varied array of trails. From its manicured groomer-esque Half and Full Nelson trails, to old school rooty, rocky, primarily fall line trails such as Powersmart. This is what makes the town such a renowned area for mountain biking. As with most trails in BC, the logging industry has created roads through the pristine forests to facilitate the cutting and removal of trees. This in turn created access for mountain bikers to explore the terrain and create trails through tireless hours of hard work.
The down side to the access created by the original logging is, with the roads and infrastructure already in place, the area is also a perfect place to re-harvest. Throughout the past two seasons Powersmart and the lower Section Skookum are sprouting colorful patches of flagging tape marking cut boundaries, future skidder roads, and log landing areas. In time, this area will be re-forested and the trails will be, at least temporarily, lost.
In recent years, local logging has done an amazing job working with SORCA (the Squamish Off-Road Cycling Association) and trail users to minimize the impact on trails and to fund the re-construction of trails. This trail evolution cycle has become quite common throughout BC, it can cause anger, frustration, controversy, and is a great topic for debate. Logging helped create the original trail, reforestation will alter the original trail forever.
For our edit this fall we really wanted to capture the look and feel of the Powersmart and Skookum trails in their current state: fast, rooty, rocky, technical. This trail has not received any significant maintenance in the past few years as logging has been expected for some time. The current state of this trail is far from how it began its life, and farther from what it may become once the surrounding trees are removed.
This season we spent many rainy evenings working on a small playground of fresh take offs and landings between patches of lush West Coast foliage. Big jumps though the ferns was the goal while keeping impact on the living forest to a minimum. This new playground, although not physically linked to Powersmart/Skookum, was the final stop for our edit.
Director's notes:
Did they really spend all of last winter building out in the cold, wet forest? What did they build? How do they decide who hits the gap first? What if you crash? How do you warm up for hitting a new gap?
These are the questions racing through my head as I follow riders Pat Foster and Jeremy Norris to a new destination in the woods they've been telling me about for months. As I discovered, these are the same questions they ask each other as they eye up the new jumps. They look much bigger in person; intimidating to someone not used to flying on two wheels. Pat and Jeremy don't seem worried. They reassure me they can hit each multiple times so I can capture many angles. We start on an old almost forgotten trail high above Squamish quickly descending toward the new awaiting features.
Everything is in place. Pro videographer, pro photographer, two talented riders, big jumps and fast trails. It's time for the boys to start flying.
I actually had Jeremy and Pat answer my questions after our shoot. The answers aren't long winded, but they definitely set the stage:
Did you really spend all of last winter building?
Jeremy: Not all winter, only on the most miserable of days.
Pat: Nope, played in the snow, worked and built in the rain.
What did you build?
Jeremy: Jumps, 26″ specific.
Pat: Gap jumps. Just like when we were 12, but with more of a focus on aesthetics than the jumps made from pallets and plywood.
Why bother?
Jeremy: December blues.
Pat: Forest beers.
How do you decide who hits the jump first?
Jeremy: You'll be angry if it isn't you.
Pat: First guy that stops just rolling-in.
What if you crash?
Jeremy: Rarely afraid of crashing, only afraid of the post-crash hospital visit.
Pat: Not really the plan. Hopefully instincts sort that out, they have had their share of practice.
How do you warm up for hitting a new trail?
Jeremy: Pinning down an old trail first.
Pat: Roll-ins until you commit, then bank on instincts for the first run through.

What's stronger than steel, impossible to see through and was created just about 50 years ago? The answer: glass. Metallic glass, that is.
"What the word 'glass' really means is a solid material that is amorphous, one in which the atoms are irregularly arranged," explained Bucknell Professor Wendelin Wright, jointly appointed in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering. "The metals found in nature are crystalline, which means their atoms are arranged in an ordered pattern. Metallic glasses look the same as other metals, but their disordered structure is quite different."
Created in the 1960s, metallic glasses are formed by mixing several molten metals, and then cooling them at up to a million degrees per second to avoid crystallization — so quickly that the atoms don't have time to form an ordered pattern. The result is an extremely strong metal. Fascinated by some of its properties, Wright has been studying the material throughout her career.
"The weakest metallic glass is at least as strong as the strongest steel, so you can imagine the possible applications," Wright said. It's currently used to manufacture items such as sports equipment, transformers, and electronics cases. Larger applications are unlikely at this point, because of one significant problem with the material: "It is very brittle. It resists high stresses, but then breaks without warning." Wright and her team are working to understand why metallic glasses behave that way.
Models have predicted that the material's brittle nature is due to what are basically avalanches of rearrangements of groups of atoms, known as shear transformation zones (STZ), that form and propagate when pressure is applied. But experimental support for that theory has been difficult to come by. One of the challenges — these slip avalanches happen within a couple of milliseconds or less (it takes hundreds of milliseconds to blink your eyes).
Wright led the experimental effort involving high time-resolution stress measurements of the avalanche behavior and worked with several researchers, including an undergraduate and post doctoral scholar at Bucknell and collaborators at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign and Johns Hopkins University. The team believes they have overcome the experimental challenges to provide evidence showing slip avalanches of STZs as the underlying cause of deformation in metallic glasses.
"We were excited when we realized what we had," Wright said. "These findings could provide valuable insight into not just informing research on how other materials deform, but also into how we can harness the engineering potential of these extraordinary materials."
The results were recently published in the physics journal, Physical Review Letters, where it was selected as an Editors' Suggestion and featured on the Physical Review Letters homepage, a designation only given to about one in eight accepted submissions.
"It still feels amazing to me that I had the opportunity to contribute as a co-author of a paper in a respected journal as an undergraduate," said Rachel Byer '13.
Byer worked with Professor Wright throughout her time as a physics major at Bucknell. She added that this undergraduate research experience is the key to her success as she pursues a Ph.D. in materials science and engineering at Virginia Tech.
"Having the opportunity to work on this project was rewarding because everyday I learned something new," Byer said. "My time with Professor Wright helped me grow so much as a researcher and materials scientist, and I use those research and problem solving skills I learned at Bucknell every day."

Closing selected county Farm Service Agency offices in Texas will allow the organization to use limited resources more efficiently.
"We are concerned about the cost of service and the quality of service," said Jerry Harris, a Lamesa, Texas, ginner and chairman of the state FSA committee.
Harris told members of the Texas Cotton Producers Association during the recent National Cotton Council annual meeting in Austin, that the Texas FSA intends to maintain all offices with three or more employees.
"We'll keep some with two or more, but a two-person office is handicapped because programs are so complex."
Harris said most appeals come from small offices. "We need to put people where the work is," he said.
Eliminating offices would allow the state committee to target resources where they are most needed. "For one thing, we need to improve our computer system," he said. "It is outdated. At one time FSA had the second largest computer system in the country."
But that system was installed back in the 1980s and is incapable of handling the current volume of work. He said farmers often have to wait several minutes for program pages to turn.
Harris cited some 12 or more county FSA offices that currently have either zero or one employee. Some of those offices open only one day a week. "They cost a lot of money to maintain," he said, and are open only because of (state) congressional pressure. We need support to close these offices. We need to close them to be fiscally responsible.
"No one likes to close an office and we understand that elected officials are pressured to keep offices in their areas open. Some are virtually closed already and are not providing service."
Harris recommended that Texas Cotton Producers Association members contact state legislators and urge them to allow the state FSA committee to reorganize the agency. "We need to develop the best process possible to utilize the resources we have available."
