Watch R.O.I. '06 on Video (Windows Media)
LOS ANGELES - On February 1, 2006, a standing room only crowd packed Korn Hall for an evening with two of the nation's most prominent fixed income investors, PIMCO Founder, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Director Bill Gross ('71) and BlackRock Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink ('76). Part celebration and part summit meeting, the inaugural event was presented by UCLA Anderson's Center for Finance and Investments.
Among the guests were members of UCLA's Board of Visitors, dozens of faculty members and hundreds of students and alumni. The program began with the Finance Center's Director, Professor Richard Roll, outlining the Center's goals. They include preparing students for complex work in finance, undertaking and sharing research, taking the lead in recruiting finance faculty and sponsoring forums and presentations like the one held that evening.
Introduced by UCLA Anderson Dean Judy D. Olian, Gross and Fink took seats and prepared to take questions from one of the nation's most prominent business journalists, Alan Sloan of Newsweek. Sloan opened by stating that there was "more than a trillion dollars in assets sitting on that couch," a figure that summed up the significance of having the two UCLA Anderson alumni together on the stage.
What followed was an open discussion that ranged from their takes on retiring Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan to global economics to the danger of mounting United States debt.
On Alan Greenspan ...
Larry Fink: "Quite frankly, Alan was not a great economist. However, as a Federal Reserve chairman, the man was brilliant. He basically allowed the market to handle situations. He understood markets and understood that the dynamics of the market would sort itself out. He has been the ultimate as a free market Federal Reserve Chairman. We all benefited from his 18 years. Do I think we'll miss him? No, because I think Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve understand that the role of the Fed is to allow the market mechanisms to work and to intervene when they need to. I think the institution will be fine without Chairman Greenspan but I think his legacy will last a long time."
Bill Gross: "I think he was a great fireman. He came to the rescue and provided masses doses of liquidity at the appropriate time and there's no doubt that there were many of those times … I suspect that what he turns over to Ben Bernanke is the result of that liquidity. You can't continue to pour money into a system and not have that system take it and generate massive amount of debt and in some cases speculative bubbles. There's no doubt that, as the world's primary central banker he has presided over a massive build-up in liquidity that one day will have consequences."
On the danger of foreign investment ...
Bill Gross: "It doesn't necessarily end with a bang. It may end with a long whimper. Simply because in my view the U.S. economy is being hollowed out. The game has moved to Asia and parts elsewhere. And to the extent that we've lost our manufacturing edge, we've suggested that we have a knowledge technological edge. But that in turn is at risk in the face of the Chinese and others producing more scientists and the like that we ourselves do. The claim that the United States superiority will continue to prevail I think is certainly at risk. And so it ends, perhaps with a bang in terms of the liquidity implosion if the Asians, the Chinese and others decide to sell those bonds. It's certainly not in their interest, (but) it could happen. Otherwise it ends gradually over time as the tremendous liabilities that we generated, not just in terms of paper, but in terms of pensions and health care have to be paid and that's something that we haven't faced up to yet.
Larry Fink: "I'm worried about the dependency that we have on foreign investing in the U.S. market … it feels really good now. We as bond investors are winning a lot of mandates from overseas clients. It's a circle. They are selling us goods. They get dollars. They invest those dollars back in to the United States in the form of bonds at lower interest rates. Lower interest rates help the housing market. The housing market helps the consumer. It's worked. When I go overseas and talk to our foreign clients, they would like the circle to last forever. And they are all very happy with this model. And that's what frightens me. Everybody likes this model. The whole world is dependent on this model. I don't see what's going to change this model. But I think back in 1999 or 2000, we knew the Internet bubble was a bubble but we had no idea what was going to break it. We have the same problem today. We are terribly dependent on our economy to fund our deficits. It works really well for the Chinese and us, our Middle East clients, but it just feels too good. And so as a cynic, it's not going to work forever."

Alexey Radul began graduate work at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) in 2003, he was interested in natural-language processing -- designing software that could understand ordinary written English. But he was so dissatisfied with the computer systems that natural-language researchers had to work with that, in his dissertation, he ended up investigating a new conceptual framework for computing. The work, which Radul is now pursuing as a postdoc in the lab of Gerald Sussman, the Matsushita Professor of Electrical Engineering, is still in its infancy. But it could someday have consequences for artificial-intelligence research, parallel computing and the design of computer hardware.
Artificial-intelligence systems, Radul explains, often tackle problems in stages. A natural-language program trying to make sense of a page of written text, for instance, first determines where words and sentences begin and end; then it identifies each word's probable part of speech; then it diagrams the grammatical structure of the sentences. Only then does it move on to stages with names like "scope resolution" and "anaphora." The process might have a dozen stages in all.
In a multistage process, however, errors compound from stage to stage. "Even if they're really good stages, they're 95 percent," Radul says. "Ninety-five percent is considered extraordinary." If each stage is 95 percent accurate, a five-stage process is 77 percent accurate; a 20-stage process -- by no means unheard-of in AI research -- is only 36 percent accurate.
Systems that can feed information from later stages back to earlier stages can correct compounding errors, but they're enormously complicated, and building them from scratch is prohibitively time consuming for most researchers. A few such single-purpose systems have been designed for particular applications, but they can't easily be adapted to new problems.
Radul envisioned a new type of computer system that would handle multidirectional information flow automatically. Indeed, not only would it pass information forward and backward through stages of a multistage process, but it would pass data laterally, too: The results of one stage could be fed into, say, two others, which would attack a problem from different directions simultaneously, reconciling their answers before passing them on to the next stage. At that point, the stages of a process wouldn't really be stages at all, but computational modules that could be arranged in parallel or in series, like elements in an electrical circuit. Programmers would simply specify how each module was connected to those around it, and the system would automatically pass information around until it found solutions that satisfied the constraints imposed by all the modules.
This reconception of programming, however, required a commensurate reconception of computation. Classically, a computer is thought of as having two main parts: a logic circuit and a memory. The logic circuit fetches data from memory, performs an operation on the data, and ships back the results. Then it moves on to the next chunk of data. In Radul's system, on the other hand, multiple logic circuits and memory cells are arranged in a large network. Any given logic circuit can exchange data with several different memory cells, and any given memory cell can exchange data with several different logic circuits.
The danger with this arrangement is that logic circuits storing data in the same memory cell may arrive at contradictory conclusions. Which conclusion should the memory cell store? Instead of working together to solve a problem, the logic circuits could end up simply overwriting each other's data.
In the prototype system that he developed for his doctoral dissertation, Radul solved this problem by devising memory cells that don't so much store data as gradually accumulate information about data. One logic circuit, for instance, might conclude that the value of some variable is between five and 15; the memory cell will register that the number it's storing falls within that range. Another logic circuit, with access to the same memory cell, might conclude that the value of the variable is between 10 and 20; the memory cell would thus contract the range of the value it's storing to between 10 and 15. A good analogy might be someone solving a Sudoku puzzle, who's identified two or three candidate values for a puzzle square and jots them in the corner, expecting to winnow them down as new information comes to light.
A programmer using Radul's system is free to decide what kinds of data about data the memory cells will store. But in his prototype, Radul enabled the memory cells to track where data comes from, a capacity that he thinks could be useful in a wide range of applications. In explaining this aspect of the system, Radul assigns the logic circuits arbitrary names. Say that a group of three logic circuits -- Alice, Bob and Carol -- converged on a value between 10 and 15 for some variable, but a fourth circuit -- Dave -- assigned the variable a value of 237. The system could warn the entire network that the results of Dave's calculations are suspect and should be given less weight until new information propagating through the network brings them in line with everyone else's. (It's also possible, however, that the new information could vindicate Dave and force Alice, Bob and Carol to revise their initial conclusions.)
Again, the Sudoku analogy might help. Sudoku solvers sometimes make mistakes; but once they've identified a mistake, it may already have propagated across the whole puzzle. Radul's system would, in effect, automatically back out all the other errors that flow from the original mistake.
Radul's network of logic circuits and memory cells is an abstraction: It describes how information flows through a computer system, not necessarily the design of the system's hardware. It so happens, however, that computer chip manufacturers have reached the point where the only way to improve performance is to add more cores to each chip. Splitting up programming tasks so that they can run, in parallel, on separate cores, is a problem that has bedeviled computer scientists. But a mature version of Radul's framework would allow programmers to specify computational problems in a way that automatically takes advantage of parallelism.
"All of computing -- all of it, object-oriented, parallel, all those kinds of computing," says Daniel Friedman, a professor of computer science at Indiana University, "they put all the responsibility on the programmer." With a system like Radul's, however, "large hunks of the responsibility would likely go away." Friedman cautions that "there's a huge amount of research to be done to demonstrate all that. All they've done so far is demonstrate it on a very small scale." But, he adds, "this is spectacular stuff. I'm just looking for the right student to come along to get all fired up about it."

So I thought I'd just make one thread with everything I've written that's just a one-shot or just a couple of quick chapters instead of cluttering up the section with smaller fics. Anything I write and post on my ff.net profile I'll post here. So sporadic updates throughout the year. Everything's rated between G to PG-13.
Batman: Arkham Knight--It Was Over:
It was over. The entire world knew that Bruce Wayne and Batman were the same man now. Thanks to Scarecrow making Jim Gordon unmask him on television, Bruce knew everything was over. Flying down to Panessa Studios and taking the elevator down to the base within it, Bruce let his cowl hit the ground as he took it off, sitting in a chair and sighing to himself, feeling worn out and rundown after the long night dealing with the Arkham Knight and Scarecrow.
He put his head in his hands at the computer, looking at his reflection. "It's for the best," he muttered. "Barbara, Tim, Dick....they can do this without me."
"Talkin' to yourself again, Bats?" the shrill voice of Harley Quinn asked, Bruce turning and staring at her. "Geeze, you look like crap."
"Thank you for the observation," Bruce said. He walked over and unlocked the cell, stepping back as the door opened. "Please get out."
Harley slid off of the cot she was on, narrowing her eyes as she looked at Bruce, walking out slowly. "You ain't pullin' a trick are you, Bats?" she asked. "You ain't gonna Batarang me as I walk out?"
"No," Bruce said, sitting down again and sighing. "I'm done, Harley...."
"What'd you mean, done? You lose your mind?" Harley asked, grabbing a second chair. "I ain't leavin' until we got this sorted, Bats. What happened out there tonight?"
Bruce knew there was no use, and he described everything that happened since locking Harley in the cell, his hands clenched the entire time. "Now I've got nothing left. Everyone knows that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same man, and the people I care for outside of this are going to be targetted now."
Harley nodded, her arms folded across her chest. "Tell me somethin'. How'd you convince Red to help you?" she asked. "Thought she didn't like us meatbags?"
"Not all of us," Bruce said. "Her plants were going to die as well. We found two ancient roots under GOtham City, and she brought them to the surface to stop the Cloudburst. The second one....the strain ws too much on her. I went to check on her, catching her as she fell out. The...the last thing she whispered was "Nature always wins." before she faded away..."
"Red.....she's dead?" Harley asked, her hands clenching as she stood up and swung the chair she was on at Bruce, hitting him across the chest and knocking him out of the chair, her hands shaking. "You killed her?!"
Bruce looked down as he slowly stood up. "If that's what you want to think of it as," he whispered. "I didn't mean it to happen, Harley. I asked her for help and she gave her help. Her last act was saving Gotham City."
"You son of a bitch!" Harley screamed, lunging at Bruce and tackling him to the ground, slamming punch after punch into him, grabbing whatever she could to beat him with. After ten minutes she finally stopped, falling to the ground and crying as she covered her face. "You took them both away from me...."
Bruce stood up slowly, looking down at Harley. "I'm sorry, Harley. I'm truly sorry for everything. I'm sorry Joker manipulated you back in Blackgate, making you into this. I'm so sorry for everything that's happened to you," he whispered. "And I'm so sorry for taking them both away from you..."
Harley stood up, punching Bruce in the mouth one last time. "No, not yet you're not. You won't ever truly know how sorry you are for everything! You took my Mr. J away from me! You took Pammy away from me! I should kill you where you stand, Bruce!"
"Then why don't you?" Bruce asked, looking at Harley as he wiped a bit of blood from his lip. "I'm standing right here, Harley. Do it if you think you can." He took his utility belt off and threw it on the floor in front of Harley, standing in the middle of the room. "Explosive gel, Batarangs, Remote Electrical Gun, Smoke pellets so I won't see you coming, Batclaw to rip my throat out, line launcher to run me through and string me up on the wall. Pick something and do it then if you've got the guts."
Harley picked the belt up, her hands shaking as she looked at it. After a long few minutes, she dropped it back on the ground. "Take me there," she whispered. "Please, Bruce....lemme say goodbye to her....just this one thing..."
Bruce nodded, clipping his belt back on and walking with Harley out of the room to the elevator, leading her outside. He summoned the Batmobile with the remote function, the canopy opening as it stopped. "Get in," he said, his cowl securing back around his head before he got in after her. He drove in silence to the Miagani Botanical Gardens, stopping under the giant plant. "We're here." He got out and helped Harley out, the Clown Queen of Crime looking up at the plant.
"Jeeze, Red," she whispered. "How do we get up there?"
"This way," Bruce said, picking Harley up and grappling up to the roof, landing beside the 'door' that Ivy'd made inside of the plant to use her. He let Harley go, watching her run over to the plant growing out of what remained of Ivy's old Arkham Asylum shirt.
Harley knelt down, closing her eyes and touching the plant lightly. "Hi, Red," she whispered. "Hope you're ok wherever you are. I'm so sorry this happened to you, sweetie...." She started crying again, her tears hitting the petals on the plant as they fell.
Bruce sighed softly, walking over and putting his hand on Harley's shoulder. He knelt beside her, looking at the plant. "If you hadn't been in the City and if her plants hadn't been threatened by Scarecrow and Jason...I don't think she would have helped us, Harley. She did more for this City tonight then I did, and I can't thank her for helping me," he whispered. "She's the real hero tonight, not me."
"She was always the hero to me," Harley whispered, touching the plant lightly. "Can I stay here? PLease?"
Bruce nodded softly. "I'll send one of the others to find you later," he whispered, giving Harley's hand a squeeze before he walked over and dropped off of the roof, landing beside the Batmobile again. "Alfred."
"Yes, Master Bruce?
"Send the Batwing to GCPD. I'm ending this now," Bruce said. "Knightfall Protocol."
"Yes, sir," Alfred said, looking at the computer and knowing better then to question Bruce. "Authorization required, Sir."
"Martha," Bruce whispered.
"Knightfall activated, Master Bruce," Alfred said. "I will await your return."
Bruce returned to GCPD, the Batwing landing on the street. The oficers poured outside, Cash carrying Barbara since her wheelchair was gone. He got out of the Batmobile and walked over, taking Barbara's hand softly. "Thank you for everything, Barbara," he whispered, hugging her softly.
"You're welcome, Bruce," Barbara whispered, leaning up and kissing his cheek softly, tears in her eyes. "We'll keep Gotham safe."
"I know," Bruce whispered. "After tonight, there'll be something in the mail for you and Tim for the wedding. My last gift to you two. One's on it's way to Dick in Bludhaven, and...Jason's is under his headstone on Wayne Manor property."
Barbara nodded. "I'll find him and tell him," she whispered. "Goodbye, Bruce."
"Goodbye, Barbara," Bruce said, looking at the officers. "Aaron--"
"Save it, Batman," Cash said, smiling softly. "You did what you did for the City, and we can't forget that. I'd salute you, but I've got my hands full."
"Everyone says that about me," Barbara said with a grin, making Bruce chuckle softly.
"You don't have to," Bruce said, walking back to the Batmobile and driving it into the carrier under the Batwing, moving up to the cockpit and taking off for Wayne Manor and the final goodbyes.
After arriving at the Manor, Bruce dropped out of the Batwing inside of the gates, hearing the reporters and chatter from behind himself. He undid the cowl for the last time, letting it fall to the ground before he walked into the Manor, seeing Alfred standing inside of the door like always.
"Welcome home, Master Bruce," the old butler said.
"Goodbye, Alfred," Bruce said, hugging his oldest friend for the first time since his parents deaths so many years before. "Knightfall Protocol. Final activation. Bruce Wayne 51939#27."
Outside, the reporters watched as the Manor exploded, taking Bruce and Alfred with it, screaming filling the air as they scrambled to avoid the debris from the blast, Vicki Vale the only one not running away as she stood her ground, staring at the smoldering remains of the Manor.
"Goodbye, Bruce," she whispered.
As the clouds settled over the rising Gotham City sun after the long Halloween night, the remains of the Manor were finally seen in a horrific state, the realization that Batman and Bruce Wayne were dead settling into the chilly morning. It was over.

Principal Robert Clemens doesn't use the word "throwback" to describe his disciplined style of running an elementary school. Instead, when he tries to explain why his Buffalo P.S. 81 on Tacoma Avenue consistently earns the state title of "School in Good Standing," Clemens simply calls himself a dinosaur.
He maintains order and academic excellence among almost 800 students who come from families living throughout the district. His system of rules and procedures formulated during 15 years at the school are designed to maximize focus. You can hear a pin drop in P.S. 81, said one parent, who marveled at the school's quiet halls.
The father of a high school senior, Clemens grew up in North Buffalo and graduated from SUNY Buffalo State in 1978.
One would think that the classroom was a natural choice for Clemens.
People Talk: At what point did you realize you wanted to teach?
Robert Clemens: I had no desire. I hated school. I never dreamed I would go into education. It was one of those things that evolved.
PT: You may have hated school, but were you a good student?
RC: I didn't always work up to my abilities. I always did my homework but I was a last-minute kind of kid. And I was kind of shy. I caught on in college. I was a much better student than I realized when I was working toward something.
PT: So how did you end up in education?
RC: I ended up going into special-education. My mother was a teacher, and I lived with an uncle who had Down syndrome. I ended up working at United Cerebral Palsy Association, and then I went to the autistic program at the Cantalician Center. I got my master's in behavior analysis working with the severely handicapped, and I started at the Occupational Training Center (P.S. 42), which had at the time students ages 18 to 21. I did that for a while and then went back and got a degree in administration.
PT: It sounds like you did it all.
RC: I started as a teacher's aide, so I sort of have done it all. I was a coordinator, assistant principal. I was first hired as a principal in 1999 at the old Riverside Academy, but they were closing that school. It's hard to close a building. Some people were attached to it, and really wanted to stay. My feeling was it was an old, dark, dank, ancient building. I was in a strange role.
PT: You have achieved academic excellence at your school.
RC: In 30 years this school has only had two principals and it's always been a school of good standing. We're proud of that. People always think it's the neighborhood, that you're in North Buffalo so it's the population. But we take whomever they send me. We're like the Ellis Island of schools. We take them all.
PT: Would you like to be superintendent?
RC: Never. I reached my evolutionary peak here. I've been in education for 35 years. It's a long time to be on the school schedule, but what I mean is that Sunday-night anxiety. You get the knot in your stomach starting in the afternoon. You just start thinking about everything you have to do.
PT: What else contributes to your Sunday angst?
RC: It's not a job that when you go home, you're done. If you try to do it right, it's a job that keeps you humble. You're always evaluating yourself. Whenever anything occurs in your school you're constantly replaying it. A lot of people think principals are egotistical, but the ones I know who are getting things done are not. Because the moment you think that everything is going well, something will come along to knock you down to size. It keeps you on an even keel.
PT: Do you practice yoga?
RC: No. I try to run a little and I try to play basketball. I need all that. They keep telling me my blood pressure is too high.
PT: You thrive on a schedule.
RC: Maybe, but I'm sort of a dinosaur when it comes to education because I've been around so long. I really believe strongly in order and structure. I really believe that kids can't learn unless you have an environment set up where kids are focused in class and you're maximizing the teaching time. So I have a lot of rules in the building and a lot of procedures that are in place to ensure the day is very structured.
PT: Give me an example, please.
RC: When we do change-of-class for our junior high students – the seventh- and eighth-graders – it is conducted in silence. There's no talking allowed, and some people think that is a very weird rule. Our philosophy is – that when the bell rings and a child goes from class to class – if they leave one class calm and enter another class calm, the instruction starts right away. If a teacher has to tell the kids to be quiet, that teacher is wasting time. It all carries out. It's the theme of the day, that your focus is not playtime and fooling around. This is a school. People look at it and think it's punitive, but it's not.
PT: What is punitive around here?
RC: There's an alternate-education room – detention, really – but that's a half-day. Suspensions if they're deemed appropriate. Parent conferences. Telling children straight out what they need to do – clearly. We have enough systems in place where kids can go talk out their issues, too.
RC: I usually go home and make dinner for the family. They say I'm a good cook. We have a supper club and get together with friends. I'm not very exciting.
PT: What is your most important tool here at school?
RC: Observation, not observing teachers per se, but knowing what's going on in my building on every floor in every room.
PT: Do you have a favorite teacher from childhood?
RC: I really don't remember one teacher, unfortunately. I think I was such a shy kid that I just tried to get through school. I think that's important though in the sense that I always think about that middle student. You have your really good students who take your AP class and do well, and then you have your struggling students. Then there's that whole population of middle kids that we sometimes forget. Not having a special teacher left me with the feeling of being that kid in the middle.
PT: How do you re-energize? Do you have a routine or ritual?
RC: I'm full of rituals. I'm a very obsessive-compulsive person. I want kids to learn and I want families to be happy with the school. I learned a long time ago that I can't win. There is no decision that will please everybody. So you make the best decision for the building and you live with it. I try and think everything out so when I do it I'm pretty well prepared for everything.

Lisbie brace sinks lowly Bury
Kevin Lisbie scored twice, one in each half, to lead Leyton Orient to a 2-0 win at Bury on Saturday afternoon.
Last Updated: 08/12/12 6:39pm
Kevin Lisbie scored twice, one in each half, to lead Leyton Orient to a 2-0 win at Bury on Saturday afternoon.
The veteran striker sealed a tight game to take his tally to eight for the season.
Bury were extremely unlucky not to take the lead when Zac Thompson saw his effort cleared off the goalline by Mathieu Baudrey.
But Russell Slade's men punished them with their first effort on target. Dean Cox fed Lisbie and he held off Matt Doherty to fire powerfully into the bottom corner.
Lloyd James was off target with a 25-yard free-kick and Trevor Carson saved well with his legs to deny Lisbie immediately after the break.
At the opposite end, Ryan Allsopp made a superb save to keep out Andy Bishop's header before Efe Sodje rifled over the top from the resulting corner.
But Orient doubled their advantage when Lisbie poked home Lee Cook's corner.
Doherty missed a great chance for Bury, heading wide from Steve Schumacher's corner and Allsopp saved a Bishop header from point-blank range.

Phase Three of the 93rd Tour De France goes full bore with a massive stage through the dark heart of the Hautes Alpes into Isere. An early break of contenders teammates will get established on the Col d'Izoard, then it's up and over the Col du Lautaret, where the long descent will probably bring the race back together at the foot of l'Alpe d'Huez for a ding-dong battle up the final 14km to the legendary finish.

They were last spotted out in public together in New York on January 16.
Before his romance with de Lima, Anthony was married to Jennifer Lopez for seven years. The couple announced its separation in July, 2011. Lopez is currently dating dancer Casper Smart.

Delta Mike Airfield has launched five related websites that celebrate the aircraft and people who landed and signed the Golden Age Airfield Registers at Clover Field, Santa Monica, Calif., Grand Central Air Terminal, Glendale, Calif., Parks Field, East St. Louis, Ill., Peterson Field, Colorado Springs, Colo., and Pitcairn Field, Willow Grove, Pa.
Each interactive site stands alone, according to officials.
However, important linkages are made among the sites. Visitors will delight in discovering the overlap in the movements of people and aircraft from airfield to airfield. The linkages clearly reveal the patterns of air traffic and, more broadly, the evolution of civil, commercial and military aviation in the United States during what historians call the Golden Age of Flight between the years 1920 and 1940.
Since 2005, the non-profit company has also operated a sixth site, DMAirfield.org, which celebrates the history of the people, aircraft and aviation events recorded in the Register of the old Davis-Monthan Airfield, Tucson, Ariz. More than 15 million visitors around the globe have stopped by the site; hundreds are relatives of register signers. Thousands more are students or authors of aviation history, or historians with interest in the people and aircraft.
Delta Mike Airfield President Gary W. Hyatt states, "All together, my six websites now analyze the history of 21,667 Airfield Traffic Days between 1925 and 1942, across Airfield Registers that are trans-continental in scope. Each interactive site is driven by databases I built from handwritten records in the Airfield Registers. Now, embedded in the websites online, the databases form a rich, interactive environment for researching pilots, airplane registrations, and patterns of movement by people and machines across the United States during the period."
All the sites are wholly owned by the non-profit corporation Delta Mike Airfield. The mission of the company is education, encouragement and support of historical aviation research and multi-media publication around the globe. Specific emphasis is on the Golden Age of Flight. The company operates primarily, but not exclusively, through its websites. Other mixed media publications and public appearances also support the Company.
Hyatt concludes, "About 15 million hits have come to my first website. To the 30% of visitors who are repeats, I have a track record of research, publications, enhancements and additions to that site. In turn, many have contributed information and photographs, for which I'm very grateful. What I offer is a compelling mix of history, biography, stories and engineering that breathes life back into the tens of thousands of people, aircraft and events recorded in the registers. Over the years to come, I'll commit the time, resources and effort to build and maintain all my new sites to the same high levels of interest, value and robustness."

How to Use the Images
Drawing 2 illustrates the legend that Catherine Schuyler set fire to her wheatfields along the Hudson to deny sustenance to the approaching British. Although Mrs. Schuyler never actually did this, her husband, General Philip Schuyler, did attempt to slow Burgoyne's advance down the Hudson River Valley in a number of ways.
General Schuyler, who commanded the defense of the Hudson Valley until the eve of the first battle at Saratoga, had soldiers and residents destroy or carry away food and livestock so the British would not capture it. They also destroyed bridges, blocked roads by cutting down trees, and dammed creeks to turn pathways into swampland. Delayed by these obstructions and his supply train, Burgoyne averaged only one mile a day after leaving Fort Ticonderoga.
Questions for Drawing 2
1. Study Drawing 2 carefully. How did they carry fire to the wheatfield to burn it?
2. How would destroying food supplies help the Continental Army defeat Burgoyne?
3. This drawing comes entirely from the artist's imagination. Look for people, things, actions, or behaviors that seem out of place or out of character. List your findings with a brief explanation of why they seem unreal.
4. Who are the other people accompanying Mrs. Schuyler? Provide clues to support your hypothesis. Why do you think the artist included them?
* The drawing on this screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a larger version of Drawing 2, but be aware that the file will take as much as 36 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

Gotham City Imposters trailer shows bat-gunplay
A detailed look at Gotham City Imposters, the team-based multiplayer shooter based on the Batman franchise.
The announcement of Gotham City Imposters was a little odd. A licensed Batman game in which impersonators of the Dark Knight take up guns to shoot at an opposing team of Joker fans, Imposters certainly isn't taking the mythos as seriously as Batman: Arkham City. But if you let go of some preconceptions and watch the trailer with an open mind, you'll see that it's actually... still incredibly bizarre.
The new trailer shows off some gameplay and the characters that make up both sides. We even get a moment of what seems to be the Joker encouraging the carnage -- which to be fair, is totally something he would do.
The trailer reveals that the game is downloadable and coming in 2012, just in time to ride the wave of Bat-mania caused by The Dark Knight Rises.
Steve Watts posted a new article, Gotham City Imposters trailer shows bat-gunplay.

The 8th Judicial District ADR Program is assembling a Court Roster of paid mediators in commercial matters pending before the Court.
Mediators will not be compensated for the first two (2) hours spent in ADR. Thereafter, mediators who are not employed by an agency having a contract with the Office of Court Administration will be paid at an hourly rate they have listed on the Court Roster for mediation work. Billable time will include actual time spent in mediation sessions and up to one-half hour of pre or post preparation time for each scheduled session. Compensation exceeding $1,500.00 is subject to prior court approval.
Mediators' responsibilities may include:
• Coordinating with Court staff;
• Managing cases promptly and efficiently;
• Conducting mediation in accordance with the ABA, AAA and ACR Model Standards of Conduct for Mediators;
• Preparing mediation agreements and/or disposition forms in a format acceptable to the Court; and
• Mentoring apprentice and student mediators.
Requirements for court roster membership include completion of 40 hours of mediation training which includes at least 24 hours of training on mediation skills and techniques and at least 16 hours of additional training in the specific mediation techniques pertaining to the subject area of the types of cases. This training must be sponsored or recognized by the New York State Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs or training that the Office of Court Administration's Alternative Dispute Resolution Program deems to comport substantively with the curriculum guidelines promulgated by that office AND have extensive commercial litigation experience, commercial matter experience or serve or have recently served as in-house counsel.
Applicants must also document substantial recent experience mediating actual cases, preferably commercial matters. Substantial recent experience is defined by the applicable court.
Appointment to the Court Roster is at the discretion of the Administrative Judge of the Eighth Judicial District in consultation with the Coordinator of the Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs. Admission will be competitive and will be based on each applicant's training, experience, education, and availability to mediate. Applicants may be required to participate in an interview process before a review committee appointed by the Administrative Judge. Applicants may be requested to complete additional training or experiential requirements prior to admission to the roster if, in the opinion of the review committee, the applicant's mediation training and experience does not fully prepare them for mediator status.
Pursuant to the Rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts, 22NYCRR 146.3b, neutrals shall be redesignated to the court roster every two years. In determining whether to redesignate any neutral, the neutral must show proof of compliance with the requirement that they attend at least six (6) hours of additional approved training relevant to their respective practice areas every two years pursuant to 22 NYCRR 146.5. Mediators may also be removed from the panel at the discretion of the Administrative Judge in consultation with the Coordinator of the Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs.

Refresh Editor
Dr. Michael D. Merrill, a primary care doctor in Batavia, explains a doctor visit this way:
"Every 15 minutes, you have an hour of work to do. So it ends up being like working in fast food. And yet it has to be done for the public good, and it's still a good job, as far as jobs go, so I'm not complaining – I'm just explaining. You have to see a certain number of patients in a day just to keep the practice open. But at the same time every patient who walks in my office could benefit from at least an hour of my time."
"A good doctor-patient relationship is essential to achieving the best possible care, but the reality is, most doctors have less and less time to spend with each patient. So it's important for patients to take some responsibility for that relationship, too," says Dr. Paul Griner, an internist, professor of medicine emeritus at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and author of "The Power of Patient Stories: Learning Moments in Medicine."
More than 80 percent of doctors said patient relationships were the "most satisfying" part of their job, according to a survey of more than 13,000 doctors last year by the Physicians Foundation that Griner referred to in a recent news release. Those doctors also said they were spending an average of almost one-quarter of their workday on paperwork not directly tied to patient care.
Griner and Merrill provided several suggestions about how patients can compensate for the time squeeze:
1. Be early or on time: About 15 percent of patients are late, which can add to the squeeze, Griner says.
2. Have a list of medications: Or better yet, Merrill told Refresh, "My preference is to have patients bring in all their pill bottles, inhalers and insulin to every visit so that I can know what they are taking exactly. A list is OK as long as it is updated, but even intelligent and motivated people don't update the list enough."
3. Come prepared with information and questions: "Prepare your thoughts ahead of time so that you can be as precise and accurate as possible," Griner says. "What are the symptoms? When did they begin? What were you doing at the time? How are the symptoms affected by activity or rest? What makes them worse? Have you been able to do anything to relieve the symptoms? How have they affected your daily activities?"
"Don't surprise the doc with 'doorknob complaints' as the doc is leaving the room," adds Merrill. "Don't drop something on them like, 'I have chest pain.' "
4. Focus on the questions the doctor is asking you: "As obvious as it might be, it's worth repeating that the doctor is not asking you questions to be social; questions are the best way of figuring out what's wrong with you," Merrill says. "There may be 50 questions the doc needs answered. Please don't tell a long story after each question."
5. Bring copies of test or procedure records: "Primary care is a partnership. If you keep track of what preventive tests you have had and need, that helps," Merrill says.
6. Be prepared to give and get as much information as possible: "Let your doctor know when you are using any complementary or alternative medicine," Griner says, and "bring a spouse or other relative with you when the problem is complicated. Two pairs of ears are better than one for remembering what the doctor said."
"Ask your doctor how you can help make the visit more productive," advises Merrill.

"When creating this beer, we set out to create a lager that has its heart in the Northwest. This beer has a firm bitterness with flavor and aroma impressions of pine, citrus and fresh cut grass which is the signature of American hops while still on their best behavior. A new classic, a NW Pilsner will all the implied contradictions." — Laurelwood Brewing Co.
In what appears to be a nod to the International Film Channel's quirky (and strange but true) Portlandia TV show, Laurelwood "Put a Bird on It!" If you don't know what this means, watch the clip from Portlandia below. In the meantime, I'll try to get a release date for Portlandia Pils.

The 10×12 shed is one of our most popular sheds. And it's popular for good reason! The 10×12 is a great size for your basic storage needs. It doesn't overtake your small backyard, but it still allows plenty of space for a riding mower. It can also be a quiet place for you to work on your hobbies or even a little bedroom for your daughter who is home from college for the summer. The options are endless!
But is 10×12 the right size for you? Before you spend a month of Saturdays building a 10×12 or your last paycheck getting us to build you one, you want to be sure that it really is the right choice. We've been helping people choose the right shed for them since 1972, so let us help you.
Scroll on down and read this brief guide to help you decide whether a 10×12 shed is really what you need. We'll also show you some different design options for your new shed and give you some ideas for how you can maximize the space.How much does a 10×12 shed cost?
The cost of your new shed is going to depend a lot on whether you build or buy. If you buy, there are options for cheaply-made economy sheds. Obviously, higher quality sheds are going to cost more; that's no shocker!
Let's look at a few different options.
Our pricing for a 10×12 storage shed starts at about $3,000 for a painted cottage-style shed. The vinyl cottage shed starts around $3,400. Both of these come standard with a set of double doors and two windows. We also have a 10×12 run-in shed (starting at $2,400) for your outdoor storage or animal, as well as a 10×12 generator shed that starts at $3,400.
Even though we would be delighted to build you the shed of your dreams, we do encourage you to shop around. You'll find that there are cheaper 10×12 sheds out there. Just like with any other product, you'll need to decide what is most important to you – cost or quality.What will fit into a 10×12 storage building?
Your 10×12 can become a home to a whole variety of things. On the practical side of things, it can hold a riding mower, a motorcycle, four-wheeler, or go-kart. Or, if you're looking for a little personal space, it could hold a twin bed with a nightstand, dresser, and stocked mini-fridge. You could put in a few bookshelves with a couch and recliner.
Just remember: don't fill every single inch of your shed. You want to be able to get in, around, and out without any damage to you or your possessions.
The scale models below will give you an idea of what could fit in your shed. Take notice of the placement of the doors (marked in blue). We'll learn more about this further down, but doors make a big difference in how you're able to use your storage space.
