Scientists recommend you should be accumulating typically an hour of exercises each day to be able to maintain healthy levels. Just what does time mean? During the period of a normal day, you should be doing some kind of exercise that results in roughly an hour. Whether it's during a workout session around the treadmill or simply within the garden for that mid-day, adding exercise is essential.
First we have to understand what really constitutes exercise. The word Healthy activity could be damaged lower directly into three groups Cardiovascular, Resistance, and Versatility.
Cardiovascular training
It's suggested to complete cardio two or three occasions per week. Based on your level of fitness., cardio can include a pleasant walk together with your dog, or perhaps a energetic operate on the treadmill. Ideally you are attempting to improve your cardio capacity. that has many health advantages.
Strength Training
A part of living an energetic lifestyle is as simple as doing some kind of strength training a minimum of 2 occasions per week. That does not mean you must see a fitness center and strength train, it is simple to get it done in your own home by doing movements as easy as pushup and sit-ups, or by utilizing something similar to resistance bands. Strength training is equally as essential as cardiovascular activity and contributes to your general health.
Versatility (stretching)
Once you exercise, it's suggested you stretch for roughly ten minutes, holding each stretch for 15-thirty seconds. Stretching is vital to keep versatility and lower the risk of injuries from exercise.
Advantages of Exercise
Now we all know that exercising is important, but do you know the really advantages of living an energetic lifestyle? Here are just 5 from the numerous advantages of being active.
Reduces the chance of Dying Prematurely – Individuals living a proper active lifestyle live longer compared individuals who're more sedentary.
Lowers the chance of developing diabetes – Exercise keeps excess fat in charge helping regulate sugar levels

Basically being healthy is all about adding good balance to your existence. It's not necessary to be considered a Lance Lance armstrong, or perhaps a Venus Johnson that need considering active, you just need to then add extra activities for you routine.
Ukrainian Family Lifestyle
Talking about modern Ukrainian traditions and customs it's important to worry the Ukrainians be proud of their colorful folk culture. They love good drink and food and also have a love of existence.
Most Ukrainian middle-class minimizing class urban families reside in flat in multi-storied structures only rather wealthy people are able to afford to construct cottages either inside or outdoors the town.
Ukrainians possess a deep passion for the land. Many families have small country houses, known as "dacha". They could grow almost anything within their neat gardens, orchards, and homesteads. Many people grow food just for their own individual consumption. They spend some time canning vegetables and making compote from various fruits throughout the summer time to make it with the lengthy cold winters. They also have something within their houses for everyone visitors.
A contemporary average Ukrainian family members have two parents in most cases a couple of children. Simultaneously there's an increasing number of one-parent families usually headed with a lady rearing a young child. As with a number of other countries, you will find a great deal of youthful unmarried people living together and discussing a family group. Getting up a young child in Ukraine is extremely pricey this is definitely the reasons couples made the decision to possess just one child, or perhaps no children. Children have a tendency to accept there parents lengthy once they finish school. Sometimes children need to depend on their own parents in financial matters because the unemployment rate one of the youthful is extremely high. A recently husband and wife frequently lives with either of the parents because other product money to purchase in order to rent a home or perhaps a flat that belongs to them. Frequently either grandma and grandpa accept their kids which help take proper care of young children. Grandma and grandpa play an excellent role in raising children in Ukraine.
Within the village people are usually bigger, and everyone utilizes a farm (or perhaps a patch of land they've) together. Many parents who reside in the nation want their kids to obtain a greater education, so that they send these to study to big metropolitan areas. After five years of studies, the kids get accustomed to the town method of existence and rarely go back home.
Within their struggle for survival people dwindle determined by one another within families. But nonetheless parents think you should educate their kids daily skills and fundamental values of existence. The effect of a resent nationwide survey demonstrated that the most crucial values parents wish to educate their kids are honestly, good sense, purposefulness, responsibility, politeness and behavior training to oldsters. Adults believe children ought to be introduced as much as expect that they'll have to find it difficult to succeed.
Like the majority of others, Ukrainians like holidays and merrymaking. They often attempt to prepare many tasty dishes and enable lots of buddies and relatives for their places. Another factor Ukrainians like to do is talk (while strolling, in cafes and restaurants, or in your own home over a mug of coffee or tea or any other drinks). Conversation is commonly light, relaxing, humorous, and often philosophical. Many Ukrainians enjoy picnics within the wood or somewhere water at just about any season. Picnics frequently involve shashlik or barbequed meat, homemade salads, and often alcohol. Ukrainians like to sit around fires during the night and snack, drink, and sing songs to some guitar.
Popular outside sports in Ukraine are soccer, volleyball, badminton, ping pong, and hiking (walking within the forest). Fitness clubs have made an appearance everywhere. Yoga and fighting techinques are very common as well. Rock climbing and mountain climbing clubs are available. Diving, yachting, as well as golf have lately become available. More and more famous Ukraine are a variety of extreme sports (horseriding, white water rafting, downhill biking, spelunking, etc.), and, more generally, all types of active entertainment (hiking, biking, boating, horse riding, skiing, etc.).
Not everybody is going to do the items we have described above. Some Ukrainians' culture will strike you as incomprehensive and intolerable, while others' behavior and attitudes will appear rational and compatible with your personal.

Comedian Andy Dick has found love with actress-turned-reality TV star Jennifer Gimenez after bonding over their shared battle with sobriety.
The actor, who is fighting to stay clean after 13 rehab efforts, befriended "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star in 2009 when he appeared on the first season of reality treatment show Sober House, which Gimenez helped to run.
Their friendship recently blossomed into romance and Dick, 47, admits he is smitten with the 41-year-old beauty.
He tells Star magazine, "I love her to the moon and back! She is so supportive."
And it appears the feeling is mutual – Gimenez, who previously battled substance abuse issues, claims she has never been happier, saying, "I love Andy. He is amazing."

CHAPEL HILL � UNC-Chapel Hill Chancellor Carol Folt made a public admission Thursday that the university accepts responsibility and is �absolutely� accountable for the bogus African studies classes populated by athletes for years.
Speaking to the university�s Board of Trustees to mark six months since she became chancellor, Folt said of the academic fraud: �At Carolina, proceeding toward meaningful athletic and academic reform is requiring us to fully acknowledge and accept lessons of our past.�
She did not go as far as to say the bogus classes and independent studies were created specifically to keep athletes eligible.
�Although we don�t have evidence that the anomalous courses were initiated in order to benefit athletes, close to half who did enroll were student-athletes,� she said.
The unsupervised courses were �not reflective of the standard that we expect for our university,� she said.
�All of those students who were involved in those courses deserved better from us,� she said. �We also accept the fact that there was a failure in academic oversight for years that permitted this to continue. This too was wrong and it has undermined our integrity and our reputation, and created a very unhealthy atmosphere of mistrust. I think we all know that to move forward we have to make sure that everyone understands that we absolutely feel accountable and we�re going to learn from that painful history.�
In the African and Afro-American Studies Department, there were 200 lecture-style classes dating back to the mid-1990s that showed little or no evidence of any instruction. Investigations also found that roughly 500 grade changes were suspected or confirmed to be unauthorized.
University officials have placed the blame on the former department chairman, Julius Nyang�oro, and a department secretary, both of whom left the university. Nyang�oro has been indicted on criminal charges of obtaining property by false pretenses.
She called the academic fraud �a betrayal� of students but said the university has already taken many steps to make sure it doesn�t happen again.
�There isn�t a faculty member or a staff member or people that are part of this that don�t want to get it right,� she said.
Folt�s remarks came after more than a week of explosive headlines and national news coverage about the literacy levels of UNC basketball and football players.
A university learning specialist, Mary Willingham, has said she analyzed data showing that a majority of a subset of athletes over an eight-year period could only read at elementary or middle school levels. Up to 10 percent were functionally illiterate, she has said.
University officials examined the data and last week called into question Willingham�s methodology and results. Provost Jim Dean called Willingham�s research �a travesty.�
The data will also be reviewed independently, the university has said.
The study is suspended for now, while Willingham applies to an internal review board that oversees research on human subjects.

10,000 Creatives. 10 Years.
Creative Portland is a nonprofit organization that leverages, grows, and sustains Portland's creative industries, enterprises, and workforce. As the City's official local arts agency, we also pay particular attention to supporting the artists and cultural institutions that are central to Portland's identity, economy, and community.
In 2010, highlighting the critical need for a skilled workforce to sustain a prosperous economy, our founding president Andy Graham called on Portland to adopt this BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goal): Attract 10,000 creative-minded people in 10 years. Not 10,000 artists, but 10,000 people who value arts and culture.
Portland is a destination for young people fresh out of college, highly skilled professionals, retirees, entrepreneurs—anyone who wants to become part of Portland's distinctive zeitgeist. We welcome visitors, but what we really want are new residents who share our sensibilities and values.
If you like what we do, please let us know and share with others.
What We Do
Creative Portland strives to attract people who value our creative community and support the artists and creative entrepreneurs who already live here. Here are some of our key projects:
Creative Portland promotes Portland as an ideal place to live and work. While Maine is universally recognized as tourist destination, we want people to consider Portland a great place to start a business, pursue a career, retire, or raise a family. So we are connecting members of Portland's broad creative community to one another and to like-minded people in other cities who may consider moving here.
"In Portland, it's two degrees of separation, not six." 2 Degrees Portland is a networking service for creative types (engineers, artists, entrepreneurs, designers, "big thinkers") who want to find out what it's like to live and work in Portland. When someone contacts 2 Degrees, our coordinator puts them in touch with someone with similar interests who can answer their questions about who to know, which neighborhoods to live in, where to walk the dog, where to buy local produce, or the best place to launch their kayak. We also host 2 Degrees mixers so that our volunteers can get to know one another and new arrivals have a place to meet new friends.
First Friday Art Walk, which began in 2000, has blossomed into a monthly arts and cultural event that takes place on the first Friday of every month (regardless of weather) throughout the city, centered primarily in the Arts District. Over 3,000 people come downtown each month to visit galleries and museums, see live performances, buy work from street artists, and greet friends as they stroll along city streets.
Creative Portland launched a Professional Development Series: Business Basics for Artists in partnership with Maine College of Art and the Maine Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts in 2012. We continue to offer workshops specifically designed for artists, artisans, and creative entrepreneurs, addressing such topics as grant-writing, money matters, pricing art work, and starting a creative business.
For more information about these and other projects, please contact us. The City of Portland website has more information about the Creative Portland Corporation.

Saving water is such an important aspect of gardening these days. But, for me, saving maintenance time is just as important. I want a beautiful garden, but I don't have the time or energy to work hard to make it that way. So, while I do have some special babies that need lots of tender loving care, I'm always on the lookout for great filler plants that look really good — even when I ignore them.>> read "The Perfect Plants" #Irrigation #Succulents #Xeriscaping
Keeping the vegetable garden hydrated during the heat of the summer is a challenge in the South, where the sun beats down for weeks, the rain barrels run dry and even heat-loving crops wilt under summer's fiery breath. Water restrictions have even become commonplace in many parts of the region, making watering the garden even more difficult.
Water-efficient systems such as drip-line irrigation can make a big difference. But Durham, N.C., gardener Scott Belan found a cheaper and simpler solution by building an olla out of a humble clay pot. This watering solution satisfied Belan's personal philosophy in gardening: Look to the cultures and climates that make the most sense for your surroundings.
Vegetables for when Mother Nature turns up the heat
A kitchen garden's survival during a drought, or periods drier than normal requires planning, preparing and making smart, water-saving decisions along the way.>> read "High and Dry" #Irrigation #Summer #Vegetables
When I first heard about hugelkultur from Paul Wheaton, it was a true "aha" moment. Why are gardeners working so hard to keep their plants watered during the drought of summer when Mother Nature is doing just fine all by herself? No one is watering the plants in the woods during a drought! If there's one thing that makes me want to throw in the gardening towel, it's wrestling with a kinked hose when it's 95 F and 100 percent humidity outside. Just imagine not having that nightmare to contend with anymore!>> read "Hugelkultur" #How to #Irrigation #Raised Beds #Unusual
Too much water is a fairly common problem in many flowerbeds in this region, where we may get about 4 inches of rain every month between late fall and early spring. Four inches of rain wouldn't be considered "too much" water during the summer, when plants are actively growing and transpiring. During the cool season, temperatures are low so water loss through evaporation is limited, and plants are not actively growing, which does not take up a lot of water. Without good drainage, you may have a problem with too much water.>> read "Wet Feet" #Hardscaping #Irrigation #Raised Beds
Just as we communicate through facial expressions and the spoken and written word, plants communicate as well. When we learn a foreign language, it is to understand our neighbors, just as it is important for gardeners to understand the language of their plants. When leaves start turning yellow, that is a plant's way of telling you that it needs your attention. This is true for treasured indoor houseplants and plants in the landscape.>> read "The Language of Plants: Yellow Leaves" #Disease #Irrigation #Yellow
There is nothing I like more than being out in my vegetable garden in late March and April, working my soil in anticipation of a bountiful harvest. Temperatures at that time are usually splendid and I have no problem enjoying one of my favorite pastimes. As I fast-forward several months into the summer, my enthusiasm begins to wane as 90-degree days and high humidity begin to plague me. Not only do I have a problem staying active in such unbearable temperatures, but my plants always seem to be suffering as well. While many gardeners throw in the towel during the hottest part of summer and recline back in their air-conditioned homes, there is still an opportunity and possibility to extend your harvest season all the way until the cooler months of fall.>> read "Second and Third Season Pointers" #Edibles #Irrigation #Summer #Vegetables
Alright. So, now we're in the field, and this head has already been installed. So, it's in the ground, and what I need to do is change the nozzle on it because I did have the wrong size nozzle initially. It's probably a number 2 nozzle, and that wouldn't be big enough for a 360 degree radius - which is what we are using. Instead I'm going to put in a number 6 nozzle, so I've selected a nozzle. It's a number 6 nozzle.>> read "How To: Change a Sprinkler Nozzle (Part 2)" #How to #Irrigation #Video

Defining Problem Solving
|Introduction | Connecting to Other Problem-Solving Experiences | Teacher's Role | Monitor and Reflect on Problem Solving | Providing Rich Problems | Your Journal
Let's look at several aspects of problem solving in the mathematics classroom.
Successful problem solvers are able to see connections between problems they have solved in the past, and new, yet mathematically similar, problems. Many students need assistance in seeing the mathematical connections between problems as well as problem-solving strategies. For example, consider how you would solve the following problem:
This problem can be visualized by using a tree diagram. Each branch on a diagram represents the probability of a particular event taking place (there are 24 possible outcomes). The first set of four branches represents the probability that a randomly selected student is either in the group of students that turned in a contest entry (three branches: 1/4, 1/4, and 1/4), or in the group of students that didn't (1/4). The second set of branches represents the probability of each individual student being selected (1/6). Multiplying the two will give you the probability that a selected student will be on one of the first set of branches AND on one of the second set of branches in that group: (1/4) • (1/6) = 1/24. Finally, to get the probability that a student will be selected from the group of all students who turned in a contest entry, you need to add the probabilities on those three groups of branches: (1/24) + (1/24) + (1/24) = 3/24 = 1/8.
It may not be obvious that the area model for multiplying fractions shares some features with problems that involve finding the probability of an event happening. For example, an area model can help show that, in this case, there's a 3/24 or 1/8 chance that a randomly selected student will be a prize winner. The area of the rectangle with the dimensions of 3/4 and 1/6 will be equal to the product of these two fractions. To construct such a rectangle, first draw two squares with sides equal to 1. Then shade 3/4 within one square, and 1/6 within the other one. Overlapping the two squares will produce the desired rectangle. The area of the rectangle is equal to 3/24, since there are 24 pieces in total and three of them are in the overlapping area (double shaded):
To simplify this fraction, you can rearrange the double-shaded pieces into a different rectangle. First, you'll need to further subdivide the square, and rearrange the rectangle as shown below. The area of the new rectangle is equal to 1/8:
Rich problems offer multiple paths of access to various students and can be solved through a variety of strategies. They provide opportunities to compare, contrast, and critique the effectiveness of various methods and to analyze connections between methods.
It is more important for the teacher than for elementary students to be aware of a list of possible strategies and accompanying problems. Rather than teaching strategies, students can be presented with problems that are more likely to elicit use of specific strategies. When the opportunity arises, attention can be drawn to details and to the benefits of the strategy. Gradually, a class can be asked to reflect on such questions as, "Do you think this seems like a problem where we would want to make an organized list, or one where we should try 'guess and check'?" Being able to decide which strategy is likely to be appropriate for a given problem is a very important aspect of being a successful problem solver.

Ankle boots: 3 ways to wear them this summer
See Gallery
With only a month left of summer, fall fashion is on my brain. Especially with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, since everything from their fall lines are on sale. And when I buy a few things in anticipation of fall, I have a really hard time resisting those new items. I mean, who wants to wait two months to wear something new? Not me. I mean, I'm always the kind to wear my new birthday clothes on my birthday...obviously I have no patience.
So when I picked up these black Sam Edelman booties at the Anniversary Sale, I knew I had to figure out a way to wear them during the summer so I could get lots of use out of them even before it started to cool off.
And even if you haven't bought any new ankle boots, dust off your pair from last season that are stuffed in the back of your closet and give them some love, because even during the summer these shoes can be totally appropriate!
Check out the slideshow above for inspiration on how to wear your ankle boot this summer

Latest News
In Bosnia, economy still struggling with fallout of civil war
Nineteen years after the end of Bosnia-Herzegovina's 1992-95 civil war, the country is beset by dire economic hardship that broke out into violent unrest earlier this month and rumbles on in low-key protests and public assemblies.
From a small-scale industrial march in the northeastern city of Tuzla on Feb. 4, the violence spread to 30 towns and cities. In the capital Sarajevo, the presidential palace was set on fire.
This unrest has now given way to public meetings, called plenums, to draw up demands. But the reason for the discord – poverty – is unlikely to be resolved by meetings or proposed revisions to the constitution.
More than 100,000 people died in the three-year war that pitted ethnic Serbs against ethnic Croats and Muslim Bosnians after Bosnia-Herzegovina declared independence from the fracturing Yugoslavia in 1992. Economic distress is typical for the survivors.
In the Muslim-Croat Federation, one of the two autonomous areas that were created in 1995 by the agreement that ended the war, unemployment is around 40 percent and the per capita gross domestic product, a measurement of the economy, is less than a third of the European average and only a tenth of what it is in the United States.
The Serbian Republic, the Serb entity that is the country's other autonomous zone, suffers the same miserable conditions, though the protests didn't take off as they did in the Muslim-Croat sector.
The focus of protesters' anger is a political elite whose pilfering and cronyism allows it to live in relative comfort. But while revulsion against the political elite is generally accepted as driving protests, others say a deeper cause is the way Bosnia is governed and the European Union's unwillingness to exercise power it was granted under the 1995 Dayton peace accord that ended the war in 1995.
A recent report by the Democratization Policy Council, a Washington, D.C., research organization, blamed "Western policymakers – particularly in the European Union" for rewarding what it called Bosnian politicians' "malfeasance." It said that outside powers had abdicated their responsibilities in 2005 under the Dayton agreement to make sure Bosnia's politicians were acting in the public interest.
Others say the complicated government structure that was designed to prevent Muslims from dominating the smaller Serb and Croat populations, which, respectively, tend to be Orthodox and Roman Catholic Christians also makes it impossible to pass laws or to implement them. It has also proved immune to significant change.
But many say it's too easy to blame the governing structure of the country. They say it makes better sense to blame the people who run the government.
"It is not all the fault of Dayton," said Alexandra Stiglmayer of the European Stability Initiative, a think tank focused on southeast Europe. "The political elite could have done more to improve the economy."
The initial mistake was not recognizing the scale of the problem. On the surface, Bosnia was a thriving economic hub in the communist Yugoslavia of the 1970s. In reality its distance from hostile borders and its mountainous terrain brought in huge subsidies for its weapons, coal and chemical industries.
So in 1995 the destruction of war was only part of the problem. In the aftermath of the dissolution of Yugoslavia, there was no one left to trade with or to bail out companies that lost money, many of which had been earmarked for bankruptcy as early as 1987. Nevertheless, Bosnia's rulers decided simply to restart them and somehow everything would work out in the end.
"The politicians kept businesses going rather than bankrupting them," Stiglmayer said. "They themselves personally believed they could be made to work." There were "irregularities" in privatizations, she said, where politically connected people profited from buying and selling assets on false pretences.
Siphoning off funds through corruption, however, wasn't the biggest issue. What loomed larger was the crippling cost of supporting legions of long-defunct businesses with large workforces that could not be paid and mounting debts to the government and electricity companies for unpaid utility bills. Many employees found that their employers were not paying promised health insurance and pension contributions.
Bosnia's viable businesses, meanwhile, had no financial support, development bank funding, technical support or technology transfer, said Milford Bateman, a Croatia-based business consultant. Instead, international development specialists favored microcredit – tiny loans to untried businesses – that sparked a spectacular meltdown when those businesses failed.
Bosnia's desire to join the European Union, which requires countries wishing to join to submit a survey assessing their economy by sector, may be an opportunity. Up to now nobody has thought to do a systematic economic development assessment.
"In Bosnia they didn't break with the past," said Stiglmayer. "They long for the past."

The D-Block debacle
When the FCC's wireless spectrum auction came to a close earlier this year, the plan to establish a public/private partnership – through which a robust, multi-purpose, national, interoperable, wireless broadband public safety network would be built – fell short of becoming a reality. In fact, in "falling short" of attracting an investment partner, the nascent public sector broadband network virtually made an audible "ka-thunk" when it hit the ground. This surprised some and left others saying "I told you so."
Finger-pointing and recriminations aside, the fact is that a much needed national interoperable communications network – conspicuously absent on September 11th 2001 and again during the Hurricane Katrina disaster in 2005 – remains undone more than decade since it was first proposed.
The reserve price for the so-called D-Block (wireless spectrum set aside for a national public safety broadband communications network) was $1.33 billion. Considering the fact that the FCC auction (which included four other "blocks") was a wildly successful financial venture as it netted nearly $20 billion – nearly double the intended target – this doesn't seem particularly high a price for assuring universal communications interoperability for the nation's first responders. The Street – read: private companies that could have made bids on this valuable swath of wireless real estate – thought otherwise. The D-Block garnered just one bid ($472 million rumored to be offered by Qualcomm) in the opening round of the auction, and after that, the airwaves both literally and figuratively went dead.
Both the private and public sectors are working to resolve the issue and it's all but certain that a resolution will be carved out between the various interests – a group comprised of the FCC, NPTSC, PSST, APCO, IACP, DHS, wireless industry giants, technology industry titans, and others. But fundamental questions remain. How will the solution be structured; who will fund, build, and maintain it; and perhaps most notably, when it will be in operation?
Building the Information Autobahn
Little known fact: the Swiss and Austrian autobahn systems both require toll "stickers" and the German autobahn recently instituted a toll system for truckers seeking to use the ultra-fast road. The public/private national wireless broadband public safety network would effectively create a nationwide "information toll-road" on which commercial customers would pay for access to the mobile broadband network but would "pull over" to allow first responders to pass in times of emergency. Revenue raised in the collection of "tolls" would go to the ongoing improvements and upkeep that such a network would require.
Potentially at least, this is privatization in its most efficient, elegant form, and in theory would solve the massive problem of not just paying for the construction of the network – no small chunk of change, that – but also enable much faster upgrades to the communications systems than public safety entities use today. It's not atypical for major metropolitan forces (let alone smaller municipalities) to be operating communications gear reliant on decades-old technology. For all practical purposes, this new system would make that problem a thing of the past.
Rocky Road (Block)
The plan, as it originally had been conceived, was to award a nationwide 10 megahertz commercial license in the upper 700 MHz "D-Block" to a winning private sector bidder, provided that aforementioned bidder enter into an FCC-approved Network Sharing Agreement (NSA) with the Public Safety Spectrum Trust Corporation (PSSTC).
This is bureaucrat-speak for: "We'll license to you a nationwide swath of broadband on which you can build (and sell) valuable services, just as long as you give priority access to first responders in a time of critical need."
The 10MHz of "space" that comprises the D-Block effectively would have been divided into two 5MHz segments – one devoted to public safety and the other set up for "paying customers" with a need for a high-speed national broadband (voice + data) network. These paying customers could include, but certainly not limited to, railroad companies, long-haul trucking concerns, passenger airlines, as well as national and international enterprises with large numbers of "mobile workers" who maintain their workplace in the nation's hotels and convention centers. This premium would represent a significant source of revenue for the winning bidder.
No dice. The stakes proved just a shade too high for investors. Many feel that the rules and restrictions outlined in the auction became hurdles set too high to make the prospect an appealing business venture, despite the potential upside.
Changing the Rules
Even before the auction began, many had said that the rules governing the auction of D-Block spectrum had preordained the outcome we're now faced with. While the FCC is to be commended for doing something that government agencies fastidiously avoid – that is to say it tried something new and untested – we can in also say that the rules were certainly part of the problem, and rule changes are a must if the re-auction is to be successful.
Earlier this month, APCO suggested changes to the FCC rules that would significantly sweeten the pot for potential bidders by doubling the offer from a 10-megahertz block to be divided two ways to a 20-megahertz of spectrum to that which is already allocated to creating a public safety network. This idea may prove workable – it certainly makes the potential payoff for the winning bidder a lot more appealing.
Another idea that's been floated is to remove the requirement that the network be coupled to a national licensee and instead create a set of technical specifications that regional bidders would have to meet. U.S. Cellular advocated this concept at the recent meeting of the principals from the FCC and the other parties concerned that was held in early August in Brooklyn, New York.
Under such an arrangement, the burden of the business "risk" would be shared more broadly – perhaps a half dozen or more companies would shoulder the cost and responsibility of building out the system rather than just one. This seems like an excellent idea, particularly from the standpoint of seeking to get the attention of the private sector, although many people in the public sector remain wary of the concept.
Still another solution is to simply reduce the asking price – many speculate that the original $1.3 billion reserve price was prohibitive – for the privilege of spending some unknown sum or money to build out the infrastructure. A different but nonetheless numerically-based answer could be to drop the required population coverage from its present mark of 99 percent to something along the lines of 93-94 percent, with the theory being that a truly serious mass casualty incident (other than a downed airplane) is less likely to happen in a very rural area not covered by the network than it is to happen in an urban area that is. Similar to this solution is an idea to extend the build-out deadline (the date by which the system would be operational) by five or ten years. Considering the fact that it's been more than a decade since the national communications network was mandated by the Congress and Clinton administration, time may not be the best variable for negotiations.
Political Remedy?
The prospect of a private/public partnership to solve this problem continues to have a great deal of appeal among people presently holding and/or seeking political office – and in case you hadn't noticed, there are several such folks getting a considerable amount of attention these days.
As recently as early July, presumptive Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned the need for a public safety broadband network at the National Sheriff's Association Annual Conference. McCain last year sought to double the broadband capacity that the FCC set aside for public safety. The measure failed, and in point of fact was doomed from the outset, but the Republican surely will make an effort to help out the cause of the public safety broadband network from the "bully pulpit" should he win in November.
For his part, Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has spoken from the stump of the need for a national Chief Technology Officer who would hammer out the details of private/public partnership. This could prove an effective tactic since the CTO would have the bandwidth – pun intended – to get deep into the weeds on creating a framework solution with the FCC and other parties.
Regardless of who wins the Presidency, it's abundantly clear that there will be a new regime in the White House and new faces in both the House and the Senate. Many of these people will bring to the Beltway a new energy and potentially even some new ideas – no guarantees on either front, but one can hope.
Lines of Communication
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin recently indicated that the decision on whether to re-auction the 700 MHz D-Block spectrum could happen in September. September begins next week, and thus far, no news from Martin or the other Commissioners, let alone from the private sector. We did hear from PoliceOne readers however — check out the results of our poll question in the chart below.
Even in the pursuit of this article, there has been nothing from the private sector but radio silence regarding the public safety network. Various companies in the computer technology and wireless broadband sectors contacted by PoliceOne chose to "…not comment at this time…" or opted to not reply to our outreach at all.
Ralph Haller, Chairman of the National Public Safety Telecommunications Council (NPSTC) did reply to our request for comment and said in an email to PoliceOne: "We are encouraged at the progress being made within the community to resolve the differences between some of our NPSTC members and look forward to a resolution so we can get the national broadband network built for our first responder community."
Haller is talking about the fact that all the interested parties are talking. This is good because the viability of a public/private partnership for public safety communications interoperability and mobile broadband access will depend on these open lines of communication. Being hashed out are those lingering questions, like whether there be a re-auction in February 2009 as planned. If the re-auction happens, will licenses be made regional or will they remain national? Will the target build-out schedule stay at ten years or jump to fifteen? Will the reserve price be lowered, and if so, to what level?
Most importantly, how can the FCC be sure that the rules it sets out for the re-auction will actually result in a winning bidder, and what will it do if no one steps to the table? Maybe the thing to which the FCC will revert – notwithstanding whatever happens in November in the House, Senate and White House races – will be to ask Congress to rewrite the law governing the Commission's rulemaking proceeding addressing the 700 MHz D-Block and public safety broadband allocations such that the national public safety network can become a publicly-funded operation.
After all, tax dollars pay for practically every other piece of public safety infrastructure.

CALGARY - Premier Alison Redford ended her election campaign urging voters to think about how a Wildrose government would look in the eyes of Canada and the world.
Redford took aim at Wildrose leader Danielle Smith's stance that the science behind whether human activity causes global warming has not been settled.
She questioned how someone who denies climate change can tout Alberta's energy industry on the world stage.
On a campaign stop in Calgary, Redford says the strong turnout in advanced polls shows Albertans are engaged in this election.
She says some who may not have been politically active in the past are now.
Redford, who is trying to extend the governing Progressive Conservatives' 40-plus year dynasty, says the outcome will tell the rest of Canada who Albertans are.

In February 1976, producer Dino De Laurentiis was one month into the shooting schedule for King Kong when the engineering firm bidding to build the giant ape informed him that, using an electromechanical system, would require five months to build a small prototype model, and an additional year to scale it up to its final size. And De Laurentiis had to release the film in December, 1976, less than 11 months in the future!
Glen Robinson, MGM's chief of special effects on loan to De Laurentiis came up with the answer. "We can do it in four months. But you'll have to let me do it my way — with hydraulics."
With an estimated cost of $500,000, De Laurentiis gave the go ahead. Robinson, his special effects foreman Joe Day, layout foreman Jimmy Thomson, and a host of welders and hydraulic mechanics were on their own.
No time for circuit diagrams
Considering the tight time schedule they faced, there was no time for designing the circuits first on paper. Based on anatomical sketches by Italian sculptor-engineer-designer Carlo Rambaldi, King Kong's hydraulic systems were breadboarded directly on the floor of a cleared section of MGM's construction shop.
"If we had relied on engineering drawings, we really would have been in a bind because we had to change the size of Kong three times," Robinson said.
Breadboarding was well on the way for a 35-ft ape when it was discovered that leading lady Jessica Lange, who plays Dwan, could not snuggle safely in the palm of a 6-ft, 2-in. hand. The hand was reworked to a span of 6 ft, 10 in., and in proportioning, King Kong grew first to 48 ft, then shrank to 42 ft.
With no engineering drawings, the practical experience and inventiveness of Robinson and his crew were of prime importance. Because there was no time to order custom cylinders, they used standard cylinders, tested them in assembly, and then improvised if something didn't work right.
For example, there was danger at one point that the cylinders that animate King Kong's hand might over stroke and cause the ape's fingers to crush his leading lady in his palm. To overcome this problem, they incorporated positive stops into each cylinder that shortened the stroke of each finger cylinder and stopped piston travel at a precisely measured point. They could have used conventional external control valves to limit piston travel, but that would have meant adding equipment that might fail— something the leading lady wouldn't like!
The stops were simple, failsafe, and quickly made in the machine shop. They machined a brass cylindrical "plug" to fit the ID of the ¾-in. bore by 2-in. stroke finger cylinders. The plug was drilled with a center hole through which the piston rod passed. Axial holes provided free flow of fluid inside, Figure 1.
Each plug was then cut to the exact length to accommodate various piston strokes. When installed in the cylinder, there was no way the piston could travel beyond the positive stop.
Success of the design was demonstrated during an early set-up scene with stunt woman Sunny Woods substituting for Jessica Lange. As Kong's huge arm lifter her into the air, a ¼-in. wrist cable failed. The hand suddenly drooped limply from the wrist, swinging her abruptly from a vertical to a horizontal position. But the stops held the fingers in position, neither crushing her, nor permitting her to fall.
Proportional valves control motion
Cylinders in Kong's hand varied in size from a ¾-in. bore by 2-in. stroke for his fingers, to those with 4-in. bores and 3-ft strokes to flex his 4½-ft diameter, 20-ft-long arms. Remotely controlling these cylinders was to present an equally serious challenge.
Whatever made Glen Robinson, who is chief of special effects in MGM Studios in Culver City, think that he could do what a high-priced mechanical engineering firm had said would take three times as long and much more money to accomplish?
The first thought was to put a special effects man in an ape suit (to be used for some location shots) and outfit him with potentiometers that would be wired to proportional valves controlling the big ape's cylinders. As the actor would move inside the suit, the big Kong would duplicate his movements exactly.
But suppose that while Jessica Lange was in the big hand, the man in the suit sneezed and flung his hand up toward his nose? "We could just imagine the big ape doing the same," said Robinson, "sending the female star flying over his shoulder and into the rafters of the stage!"
They then decided to use manual remote control boxes, one for each cylinder, manned by carefully rehearsed operators. However, there were still problems.
Applying a variable electrical input signal to a proportional control valve controls only cylinder speed, not its final position. In addition, the 30% deadband in the standard proportional control valves they were using caused a delay before the valve spool shifted far enough to actuate the cylinder. This delay meant that the ape would not respond quickly enough when director John Guillermin called for a certain action, and the scene would be ruined.
Sandard valves modified for special control
Robinson got what he needed with innovations that show promise of finding their way into a variety of industrial hydraulic systems. To control the cylinder's position accurately along its stroke, his team attached a small rack on the cylinder rod, Figure 2. The rack engages a pinion gear to position the sweep of a feedback potentiometer as the rod extends or retracts.
Voltage from the feedback pot passes to the proportional valve, as does voltage from the command pot in the manual controlled. When the voltage of the command pot in the control box equals the voltage on the driven pot, the proportional valve shifts and blocks fluid flow to the cylinder.
The problem of deadband lag was resolved by Ernie Escobar, of SLI Industries, by removing 0.030 in. from the width of the spool lands at the input and output ports, Figure 3. Reworking the valve spool was the key: it reduced the deadband to zero and eliminated any time lag between remote control commands and Kong's responses. When the control operators moved levers to order Kong to caress Dwan, he did so instantly, creating the illusion of a living creature on screen.
Aside from these modifications, Kong's hydraulic system was made with off-the-shelf components, put together in a hurry with products from nearby distributors and manufacturers.
All hydraulic components were rated for 3000 psi because Robinson and his staff wanted to be sure they had all the power they needed. As it turned out, they over-specified, because Kong behaved perfectly operating at pressures to only 1200 psi supplied by pumps delivering flows from 15 to 35 gpm.
"Our Kong is full functional", Robinson said, "He wiggles his arms, turns his head, twitches his ears, rolls his eyes, bends both legs, pulls his mouth back to show his gums, rotates on his hips, thrusts out his legs, and, when he has to, smiles." All hydraulically.
"He really frightens you, he is so thoroughly alive," reminisces Robinson, "even when you realize he is only eight tons of hydraulic animation, latex skin, horsetail hair hide (1012 lb of it), and 3½ tons of aluminum framework."
Kong preformed with minimal time out to repair frame breakage and fluid leaks. The leaks were often caused by a technician in a hurry, who had not properly tightened a hydraulic connection.
Cost-saving as well as time-saving
What did it cost to animate King Kong with hydraulics? Even with the job completed, Robinson can only estimate.
"But," he told us, "it was only a fraction of the cost of electromechanical animation. You can begin to get some idea from our having Kong ready for the cameras in less than five months, compared to the year-and-one-half estimated for the electromechanical proposal."
"I had told De Laurentiis we probably could do the bare-frame hydraulics and aluminum tube skeleton for around $500,000. Adding two extra arms (for close-up, interior camera shots, see box), and the hydraulic pumps, which were exterior to the studio to avoid noise pickup, and renting cranes to lift the extra arms and erect the big ape, the total possibly went to $800,000 — still several times less than the cost of the electromechanical animation.
"We started with a budged of $1.5 million for all special effects, excluding the animated Kong. Only an auditor's accounting could verify it, but I've been told that we wound up with a budget surplus of about $385,000."
This article was originally published in the April 1977 issue of Hydraulics & Pneumatics. It is reprinted here for its historical and archival value.

How do you animate a 42-foot, 11½-ton hairy ape?
After Dino De Laurentiis gave the go ahead for Glen Robinson and his crew to build a hydraulically animated ape, they set out to create King Kong. Four-and-one-half months later, Kong was erect, on the set, and ready to perform — a mere half hour before filming. At director Guillermin's commands, the huge Kong instantly and smoothly raised his hands 55 ft into the air; blinked his eyelids; moved his eyes to "focus" on the object of his gaze; and curled or uncurled his 8-in. diameter fingers. Cylinders moved aluminum plates in his chest to make him "breathe".
Hidden within his hairy figure were hydraulic muscles and their commanding nerves — 140 hydraulic cylinders; 84 remotely-controlled proportional valves (stacked 16 high in his belly); two hydraulic motors to turn his wrists and arms; 150 potentiometers; and 3100 ft of hydraulic hose, with as many feet of remote control electrical wiring. To operate the extra pair of arms for detail shots, there were: 50 cylinders; 34 proportional valves; two hydraulic pumps and motors each; potentiometers for each cylinder and motor; and hundreds of feet of hydraulic hose and electrical wiring.
For remote control of each animating cylinder and motor, nearby benches were arrayed with 150 manual control boxes and their actuating levers, manned by as many operators as were needed for a particular scene. Each control box included its own potentiometer to sense control lever position, and to electrically transmit it to the remote proportional valve commanding the related hydraulic cylinder or motor. The photos in this box show some of the stages in construction of the giant King Kong.

That being said, since I do not have a shop or an established way to resell, I try to only buy things which I can use and truly love. To me, a bargain isn't a bargain if you are just buying something because of the price. So in all honesty, I do my best to limit yard sale and thrift store stops. However, every once in a while I do visit the local Salvation Army. Most times I leave empty handed but a few days ago I was lucky and found a few great deals.
Have you found any great bargains lately? If so, I would love to hear about them.

Reforms should include handgun controls
A woman, who lost her 19-year-old son to gun violence in New Haven last year, asked a disturbing question at the Connecticut Capitol the other day: Where do the killers get their guns?
"How could these little kids just be running around with these guns? They must be coming from somewhere," said Kim Morrell, whose son's murder remains unsolved.
The answer is more disturbing. We don't know.
We do know that most of the gun deaths in Connecticut take place in just three cities, Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport and the weapon almost exclusively used is not an AR-15 like the one used in Newtown, but a handgun.
While the state and nation have been focused on ways to help prevent another Newtown, we needed to be reminded that attention must also be paid to the deadliest firearm.
Ron Pinciaro, executive director of Connecticut Against Gun Violence, which organized the Capitol meeting with members of the General Assembly's Black and Puerto Rican Caucus, told CT News Junkie that most urban crimes are committed by people prohibited from owning guns, but we don't have laws that would help us determine how they got them.
Admittedly, tracking guns back to original owners, often after they are bought by so-called straw purchasers, intent on quickly unloading them to anyone with the cash, is difficult.
That's why it would make sense to pass a law requiring that all handguns be registered with the State Police on an annual basis and that individual gun purchases be limited to one a month. Mr. Pinciaro said these changes would make it difficult for gun sellers to get bulk discounts and sell guns privately and anonymously. It would also expose volume purchasers who quickly resell their guns to suspect buyers.
Not surprisingly, veteran lobbyist Robert Crook of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen, disagreed, saying limiting gun sales has not succeeded in other states and doing so, "only impacts the legitimate citizen."
We don't understand why "the legitimate citizen" would consider it a hardship or even an inconvenience to be limited to the purchase of a gun every month. This reminds us of the frequent gun lobby complaint that registering a gun makes the owner a criminal even though registering a car is just fine.
But Mr. Crook has a point when he calls for better enforcement of existing laws. The most recent reports from the Office of Legislative Research on gun laws indicate that as recently as 2007 most gun charges were nolled or not prosecuted by the courts. And in a three-year period ending in 2007, about half of the 1,800 people arrested for not carrying a gun permit were not prosecuted.
New Haven Rep. Gary Holder-Winfield, a member of the Black and Puerto Rican Caucus and a Democratic candidate for mayor of New Haven, said his caucus will add handgun legislation to the governor's recommendations.
"If we get rid of AR-15s and we limit magazines and kids are still able to easily get a hold of a gun, then I think we failed," Mr. Holder-Winfield said.
We agree.

Doctors 'cure' child born with HIV
Issued on: Modified:
One Kenyan paper publishes a rough draft of the victory speech of one of the eight candidates in Kenya's presidential race. Admittedly, it is by a front-runner, PM Raila Odinga, but is a surprise considering Kenyans have not yet ended voting. The Independent launches what it says is a "landmark series" of articles on Iraq which the world, it argues, has forgotten. And US doctors announce good news on HIV treatment.

Ryan Larson Released in Officer's Death Out of Jail Again
BUFFALO (AP) — A man who was arrested but not charged in the killing of a Cold Spring police officer has made bail on a felony stalking charge.
Thirty-four-year-old Ryan Larson was booked into the Wright County Jail Friday and later released after making bail.
Sheriff's Capt. Greg Howell says Larson is again accused of violating conditions of his release on the stalking charge. Larson was released from jail on Monday after posting bail. He was jailed for violating a no-contact order involving a former girlfriend. Charges against Larson say he repeatedly had contact and emailed the woman on Nov. 29, the night Cold Spring Officer Tom Decker was killed.
Decker was making a welfare check on Larson when the officer was killed behind a Cold Spring bar. Larson was jailed following the shooting and later released.

Late summer always brings an abundance of zucchinis, and in my past life as a gluten-eater, lots of wholesome zucchini baked goods would result. Having a slice of fresh zucchini bread or a tasty muffin with my morning coffee was the ultimate way to start the day.
In my current gluten-free, sugar-free, caffeine-free existence, zucchini bread and coffee just doesn't fit in the picture so well.
So, I made something close that does: spiced congee with a zucchini 'bread' twist
In my bowl I mixed together the following:
Congee (a ginger/anise/orange spiced wild rice, brown rice, sweet brown rice blend)
flax seed
flax seed oil
ginger and cinnamon
finely chopped zucchini
I threw the whole thing in the microwave until the zucchini softened. Yum! It was delicious! I threw on a little roasted laver, because I love laver endlessly. It would be amazing with walnuts or pecans too... It was the perfect midmorning snack at work. And close enough to the flavor of zucchini bread to satisfy.

#174 What is a .DS_store file?
May 28, 2013
When using USB flash drives for both Mac and Windows computers, hidden files will be created with names like ".fseventsd" or ".Spotlight-V100". As soon as the USB flash drive is plugged in, these files are created by Mac OS X. The files are automatically hidden on the Mac when created, but display on Windows devices.
Here are the files that are typically created and why:
- .fseventsd - records file system events
- .Spotlight-V100 - indexes files for the Mac Spotlight feature
- .Trashes - records deleted files
- .DS_store - records icon placement in Mac Finder
These files are only intended to help Mac OS X organize the file system. If the USB flash drive doesn't need to be used with the Mac system again, then you could delete these files from a Windows machine.

Amelia Co., VA History, 48 pg bklt; incl. Anderson surname; transcription online
Back in the 1980s, I copied a booklet from the Virginia State Library Archives entitled "History of Amelia County". It's been a while since I read my copy & when I started reading it again the other day, I decided to transcribe it at the same time to share with others.
I think it's very interesting, covers a great variety of topics including Paineville, the early post office, tobacco raising & selling, mica mines, overseers, slavery, Infidel Club, Masonic lodge, Amelia County Marriages, Amelia County Court House, early life in Amelia County, early churches in Amelia County, Vaughan Family, brandy making, whiskey making, ordinaries, early doctors, Amelia Sulphur Springs, Mills, early Colonial church in Virginia, Old Paineville Church, early land grants, marriages, etc.
Surnames mentioned include: Allen, Anderson, Archer, Booker, Chappell, Clement, Ford, Foster, Gauldin, Jeter, Johnson, Jones, Orange, Perrin, Randolph, Seay, Tabb, Vaughan, Whitworth, Williams, Wingo, Wood, etc.
There are tons of places and names mentioned in this relatively small booklet.
I have put this transcription on my rootsweb web site -- the link is available from the General Research Pages or Site News & Updates links found on the main page:
As always, I hope others find it as interesting as I did & that it helps someone w/ their research! Corrections & Comments are welcome -- just sign the guestbook on the site. If you have research or documents you would like to share relating to topics or families on the site, please let me know.
