Birthday is a special day and has a special place in the heart. The kind of birthday celebration does not matter, but the celebration is a must. In case one is away from the person who has their birthday, they can always rely on the social media platform which has become very popular now.
Starting from sending texts messages, to making free call conversations and video call everything is possible with the most popularly used social media WhatsApp. People put up Dps and stories on their social media to wish someone on their birthday and make them feel special. After the people around you and your acquaintances wish you and make you feel special and great on that one day, it is expected of you to wish them back to and thank them for wishing you on your birthday.
A lot of things which happen on birthdays are considered a form of birthday signs.
Well, how is a birthday celebrated for children?
· As a kid, the parents are the people who celebrate your birthday, but as you grow up and have friends, they celebrate the birthday for you in the form of surprises.
· People are invited to the house and are served dinner or lunch. People are expected to get birthday present which is also a very important birthday sign.
· The house or the party venue is decorated with the ideal birthday material like balloons and birthday party poppers.
· A cake cutting is a prime ceremony in a birthday celebration with blowing out of candles. This is the most relevant and obvious birthday sign.
· Small games are arranged for the kid and return gifts are given.
Many times when people grow up, they like to spend it with a small group of people and have quiet celebrations while some people enjoy loud celebrations.

LSAMP has long been regarded as a program that produces the kind of results that more than justify its existence.
For instance, a 2006 Urban Institute evaluation, titled "Revitalizing the Nation's Talent Pool in STEM," concluded that LSAMP had "met its stated goals of increasing the quality and quantity of students successfully completing LSAMP-supported STEM baccalaureate programs, and increasing the number of students matriculating into programs of graduate study in STEM."
The report also found that LSAMP had "exceeded its goals by producing underrepresented minority students who attain graduate degrees in STEM at a rate not only higher than that of the national population of underrepresented minorities (URM) but also higher than that of White and Asian STEM baccalaureate degree recipients." For instance, the report found that 79 percent of LSAMP graduates took further coursework, 66 percent pursued graduate degrees and 45 percent completed graduate degrees.

Sarissas Lyrics
Take a deep breath and stand firm where you are
Feel the courage flow and fear no more
For glory now stand, take life with your very own hands
And fulfill what once you swore.
Can you feel the battle field breath
It's as alive now as you or me, watch how it moves
Feel the pulse, to the eb and flow of war
Its beauty like the gold one adorns.
When I beheld its majesty, it has never ceased to be
Any less to me, than a perfect tragedy.
On the edge of tears I'm held by the moment
with the knowledge that all will change
No longer the caring man, now only the cruelest hand
To ensure my victory.
So cold, is the kiss of the steel
So old, it's the fear we all feel!
Now is the time, get to the line, and give our last stand
These are the moments that define the man
My dynamics is what drives me
The will to carry on
Give it all, till the end and then we fall.
I can remember the sight, all the sarissas aligned
Like the trees under gaze of star light
When the wind would pass them through
They'd sing their mournful tune
Their call would echo through the night.
The men would ask why is the sarrisa's song so sad.
The sarissa's song is a sad one, its pipes sing soft and low
I would choose another profession he says but war is all I know
It Pierces through the cries, drew the tears from our eyes
A cold wartime lullaby!

FurstyFerret wrote:Young's sent me a sample bottle of each of the kits and I was very impressed. The kits are well put together, all use a single 3kg pouch of malt extract, with the rest of the weight being made up in dextrose. Unlike the Festival kits, no filter bag is supplied. You can crash cool the brew, or wait an extra week or so for the hops to drop, but I've found that as you siphon, if you still have a layer of hops on the surface, they tend to be dragged to the side and then cling to the walls of the bucket, so you don't tend to get much transfer to your bottles/bottling bucket.

Brian Cashman: I'm Comfortable With What We're Doing
Why not? He's got a contract through 2014, after all…
Via Bryan Hoch –
"The bottom line is tomorrow is not Opening Day, and so we've got a lot of time on the clock here to methodically continue putting a roster together," [Yankees GM Brian] Cashman said. "We're putting something together that really has a chance to put us back where we were last year, which was winning the division and competing for the title."
"I'm very satisfied and comfortable with the approach we're taking and how we're conducting our business," Cashman said. "We've been the big-game players and done the big contracts and had success doing that, and we've had failure doing that. We've also had success on the short-term stuff too, but every year is different. I'm comfortable with what we're doing."

When it comes to crust, graham is good, Oreo is outstanding, and hemp is hearty and homey. What? You've never had a hemp crust? I only feign surprise. Most people haven't tried hemp crust or a hemp milk custard like the one that fills my hemp tarts in cupcake wrappers. The reason why stems back to a misunderstanding about hemp that I addressed in my post on hemp seeds.
These hemp cupcakes will not get you high.
What Do Hemp Tarts Taste Like?
My friend and easily quotable blogger Andrew Veety described the crust of the hemp tart as tasting like a peanut butter cookie. I'm not a peanut butter fan and I enjoyed the crust, so I'd argue that the flavor is less peanut butter and more generically nutty. It's crunchy in a messy way; keep a plate handy to catch all the rogue crumbs – you'll want to eat those as a cupcake chaser.
Rather than providing a complementary flavor, the hemp milk custard almost perfectly matches the flavor of the crust. It serves only to add moisture, like the required glass of milk helps wash down a crispy cookie.
The fresh raspberries on top of the tart add vibrancy both in color and flavor to the simple tarts. Replace them with the berry of your choice, but I wouldn't leave them off.
Hemp Tart Recipe
Hemp Tarts
Hemp Tart Crust Ingredients
- 10 ounces hemp seeds
- 3 cups flour
- 1/3 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla
Hemp Custard Filling Ingredients
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- lemon zest from 1 lemon
- 1 2/3 cup hemp milk scaled (just before boiling)
- fresh berries to taste, for topping
Hemp Tart Crust Instructions
- Mix all ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Refrigerate for at least ten minutes.
- Divide the crust evenly between 24 cupcake liners. Press the crust up the sides of the liners all the way to the top. The crust should be at least 1/8 inch thick at all points. If it is too thin, the crust may burn.
Hemp Custard and Assembly Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, beat eggs thoroughly.
- Mix in sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest.
- Mix in hemp milk a little bit at a time (too much hot milk at once could start to cook the eggs).
- Spoon custard into prepared crusts.
- Bake at 350 F for 25 minutes.Top with fresh berries.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) First-time All-Star James Harden had 30 points and the Houston Rockets broke out of their worst slump of the season by beating the New Orleans Hornets 100-82 on Friday night.
The Rockets, who had lost eight of nine and trailed by double digits in 12 straight games, led almost all the way this time. Harden scored 10 points and Patrick Patterson had six during a 16-2 run early in the third quarter as Houston took control, going ahead 64-46.
The Hornets never got closer than 10 the rest of the way, losing for only the third time in their last 10 games.
Harden, selected an All-Star reserve for the Western Conference on Thursday, handed out eight assists and was 12 for 12 on free throws.

Arrows? Dragonrend? Midna just straight up pulls that dragon to the ground with a rope. Amazing.
Midna will be teaming up with Link (in his Wolf form, of course) for her appearance in Zelda: Hyrule Warriors, where she'll be using some pretty neat transformation-based magic to kick some ass.
I think I prefer this to the butterflies.

Even if you decided not to or are unable to play along you can still blog hop along with those who are playing along to find TONS of AMAZING INSPIRATION!! =)
So here was the Trigger photo for this week~
I wanted to create several different takes on this so here is the first card~
I wanted to use the Large Fabric Background stamp by Hero Arts for my card background so I stamped it with versamark ink onto pink cardstock and then embossed it with clear embossing powder to lock in the pink color of the cardstock behind the embossing powder. Then I used several distress ink colors (Rusty Hing, Spiced Marmalade, and Wild Honey) to color the rest of the card background orange like the wall paper in the trigger photo!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! Then I used a metal die from My Favorite Stamps and cut it from gold cardstock. I wanted it to mimic the headboard in the trigger photo!! I used the fabric paper from Amy Tangerine and added the ribbon edging the both sides and then added the frame on top!! I then stamped a sentiment from the My Mind's Eye stamp set and used pop dots to attach it to the frame for some added interest!!
Again I used the Large Fabric Background stamp from Hero Arts, but this time instead of embossing with a clear embossing powder I used Rose Moire'. It is a pink with gold mixed in it and it was PERFECT for this challenge!! =)

Damn, am I the only one pouncing the comics this quickly?
One wonders about Eliza. Her body is almost all machine now, all save most of her brain. So shy would her clothing be a big part of her ability to resist temperature extremes?
Or fight? If it came down to it, she could probably ignore it, and it would be torn to ribbons by her cybernetic body.
And then, she'd be naked, or nearly so, and that's hardly bad news.
I could see it affecting her ability to fly, though, her normal body suit probably incorporates part of her wings.

Hello Everyone!
I'm new to this forum, but not necessarily new to Java. I took Java twice about 6 years ago when I went to college. I had such a hard time with it. Six years later I really want to conquer this. I don't have a "career" and I'm really tired of going from "dead end" job to "dead end" job. I'm a creative person and while I love being an Artist with a passion. I feel as though I have enough passion in me to learn this and get a good job and do this well. So here I am. I'm starting over. My goal is to learn as much as I can in a short amount of time to try and get an entry level job in this field. I know that this will take time and a lot of patience and a lot of determination on my part to learn this and I'm okay with that. I just want to feel that I can still do this. I want to learn as many facets as I can. UI, and back end and any other part that you need to know.
If anyone has any advice on what I need to do and what I need to learn please feel free to let me know. I appreciate your time and I sincerely thank you for it. I'm anxious to get started!
Thanks So Much!

So what does one do when the well runs dry? Mind you, it hasn't yet, but for someone who has a need to produce that is always the fear that lurks. What do I do when nothing comes, be it words from my keyboard or shows or paintings?
When I left my job six years ago, I wasn't quite sure where it was going to take me. I learned a lot about letting things happen and trusting the universe with a little nudge from me from time to time. I have become an appreciator of process and "beshert" (destiny), of how life unfolds, each action we take feeding the next experience. I am fascinated with the way we each write our own story, most of us unaware that we are doing it day by day. And I must confess to being intrigued with watching my own story unfold, as if I am reading a very interesting novel and want to see what happens next. I often peek at endings, but in this case can only live it out.
I began this blog almost four years ago when I went to study Yiddish at the Vilnius Yiddish Institute in Lithuania. I hadn't envisioned that I would still be writing it. At the time I thought my experience would be of interest to others traveling in that region or attending the Institute. The conventional wisdom of blog writing is that you hew to a specific theme to attract readers who have an interest in that theme. I don't work that way. I have many interests and many of them interrelate. If you are reading this blog you get a mixed bag from family history, travel, literature, identity and legacy, artwork and the occasional reflection on how it all knits together.That is the benefit of not doing this for a living. I write because I have something I want to say that I think might be of interest to someone else out there in the world.
But lately I have been thinking, "What next?" I recently closed out my most recent interview series. I've written about each of the interviews in this blog. There is not much more family research to uncover and I've visited all the towns in Eastern Europe that family came from. A few weeks ago I wrapped up an Artist Residency at a local synagogue working with different groups of congregants.
Now lest you fear things have come to a screeching halt, let me assure you I still have a few things on my plate, but I am at a point of reassessment. When I began this journey I framed what I did in terms of areas of interest, artwork and family history. As I moved into it more deeply I reframed it to a broader purpose, that of telling stories. And why stories? Stories are how we understand another's experience and artwork helps to fix them in our memory. My artwork is one medium through which to tell stories, this blog and my talks are yet another. With story as my larger purpose I begin to think about the many ways one can tell a story and the prospect of a book may lie ahead. My interview series certainly gives me rich material with which to work. Researching some of the themes that arose may take me deeper into the material.
A very different direction has been suggested by friends who advise me to write about reinvention. Reinvention is something that I have done with some success and a lot of conscious thought. I am an observer by nature, identifying the patterns and points of connection, distilling them down to the core learnings. Many of my contemporaries are at that stage in life where they are thinking of how to navigate a transition to a different kind of life, one that feels meaningful and fulfilling. Whether my experience offers broader insights is something I will consider and possibly explore further in this blog.
So I am at a turning point. I remind myself that change often comes out of listening carefully and being open, a lesson I have struggled to learn and often need to remember. There is less certainty about the next step because it is a new one, one that takes me into unknown and less familiar territory.
I am often struck by the irony that in my former work life I succeeded because of my sense of urgency, my need to drive to a conclusion, to get things done. Now I remind myself that the need for immediate results is often a trap. Results come in their own time, not always in response to my sense of urgency. There is a gestational stage in painting where a painting begins to emerge in my thoughts long before I put brush to paint. Then there is an interaction with the idea, shaping and reshaping it as it begins to take form. I think that same process is one we play out at the change points in our life. A time where we must let go of result and open ourselves to the process, feeling our way, testing and reframing until we find our new direction.

Continuous availability
I'm an Oracle DBA and familiar with various HA options and I've read your book on HA. I was wondering what kinds of solutions you might recommend for continuous availability (CA).
Continuous availability as in 100%, 24x7? I don't believe that there is any such thing possible with today's technology.
High availability (HA) is all about the pursuit of continuous availability (CA). HA is generally achieved by making different system components redundant. The more components you make redundant, the higher the level of availability you can achieve. However, as long as it takes time to switch over applications from one system or one site to another, there will always be some downtime.
I would argue that instead of pursuing CA, you should work to make things as highly available as you can. (The difference is subtle. Did you know that eBay has 2-3 hours of scheduled downtime every week? They found that by introducing this scheduled downtime, they can reduce the amount of unscheduled downtime the rest of the week. I believe that if they can do it, just about anyone can.
Hope this helps.

What can protected areas do for people and nature? IUCN's project in Albania is working towards developing effective management plans to protect and conserve Albania's beautiful nature while improving human well-being. Read about the latest project achievements in the new issue of the Advance Albania Newsletter.
The Buna River management plan aims to secure the preservation of the riverine forest, the regulation of fishing and hunting activities and better law enforcement. The Shebenik-Jabllanicë plan is expected to focus on safeguarding the forest ecosystem, and local forest and agriculture products labelling. The Shebenik Jabllanicë National Park and the Buna River Protected Landscape are pilot sites where IUCN is working towards nature-based solutions to development challenges.
Tiziana Giuliani, socio-economic expert, and Michele De Sanctis, plant ecology expert, share their thoughts on the data collection process, its importance and the challenges it brings. The elaboration of protected areas management plans requires the use of quantitative data, and the experts are therefore working on the databases creation for the two project sites, in collaboration with local administrators and managers.
IUCN, the Albanian Ministry of Environment and other important stakeholders in the country recently gathered to set the standards for the protected areas management plans elaboration and to define the creation of a national database on biodiversity and protected areas.
You can read more about the two protected areas management plans' development and other interesting news on IUCN's efforts in Albania in the Newsletter and the project webpages.

Legendary Super Bowl Champion and NFL Broadcaster Makes His Official Co-Host Debut
On First-Ever "LIVE! with Kelly and Michael"
NEW YORK, NY – September 4, 2012 – Months of rumor and speculation ended this morning as Kelly Ripa proudly introduced legendary NFL star and "Fox NFL Sunday" broadcaster Michael Strahan as her new co-host during the inaugural broadcast of the newly-rechristened syndicated talk show, "LIVE! with Kelly and Michael."
After an extensive search encompassing more than nine months and top personalities from every area of broadcasting and entertainment, Strahan joined Ripa today for his first official day as co-host. He previously had made several guest appearances on the show, and co-hosted with Ripa 20 times over the last two years.
"As a guest co-host, Michael's chemistry with Kelly was off the charts, and continued to grow each time he visited the show," said Michael Gelman, "LIVE's" executive producer. "The interaction between the co-hosts always has been what makes this show different from any other on television. Kelly and Michael's ability to play off of one another and just plain have a good time together creates great TV for the audience."
"We couldn't be more thrilled to have found such a great match in Michael Strahan," said Janice Marinelli, President, Disney-ABC Domestic Television. "We had a fun time this past year with the co-host search and all of the terrific personalities who sat in as guest co-hosts, but there was a very special connection between Kelly and Michael. Together they're the perfect partnership to lead 'LIVE' into another era of success."
"Kelly and the 'LIVE' staff have done a great job of evolving the show while searching for a new co-host, and adding new viewers along the way," noted Dave Davis, President and General Manager of WABC. "Now they've found the right partner to continue that evolution. We're excited to add Michael's distinctive new voice to the 'LIVE' family, and can't wait to watch Kelly and Michael take the show to a whole new level."
Prior to joining the ranks of the top sports broadcasters in the country, Strahan's entire 15-year football career with the New York Giants was typified by the charisma and sportsmanship that made him a seven-time Pro-Bowler. As leader of the Giants, took the team to a dramatic Super Bowl victory in 2007. He also was named the NFL's 2001 Player of the Year by Sports Illustrated and the 2001 Defensive Player of the Year by the Associated Press.
With a natural affinity for people and an ease in front of the camera, Strahan has held hosting duties for several series prior to joining "LIVE." He also has appeared on "Pros v. Joes," which pits amateur contestants against professional athletes in a series of athletic feats. Strahan co-hosted the family cable show "Backyard Stadiums" on DIY Network and built outdoor recreational projects with his co-host. In addition, he participated in the kid-friendly show "Giants on Deck" and the YES Network show "Sack and Renovate," in which he led a guided tour inside his 100-year-old home. Strahan also tackled the world of scripted network primetime television as the star of "Brothers," a 30-minute sitcom on Fox from Sony Pictures Television.
Emmy Award-winning talk show "LIVE! with Kelly and Michael" is distributed in national syndication by Disney-ABC Domestic Television. Produced by WABC-TV in New York and executive produced by Michael Gelman, "LIVE" airs in more than 200 markets across the U.S. Visit "LIVE" on the web at www.livewithkelly.tv, on Facebook, or follow "LIVE" on Twitter, @LiveKelly.

Continuing our year-end stocking stuffer gift ideas for gains in 2013, we are focusing on Southwestern Energy (SWN) today.
Energy shares have been among the poorest performers in the market this year, up +4%, year-to-date, through November, vs. the S&P 500's more than 15% return. Additionally, until recently, natural gas stocks have lagged.
In 2012, the price of natural gas dropped to a decade low level below $2 per Mcfe. The erosion was attributable to a combination of increasing supply, reflecting the success of new drilling technology, as well as weather and economy-related below normal demand.
We believe that supply-and-demand forces are coming back into balance. Demand has been helped by users migrating to cheaper gas from other fuels such as coal. Supply has been cut by repositioning drilling rigs to oil. As a result, natural gas prices have nearly doubled off the bottom to today's price of $3.60; however, for many projects and companies, it is still by and large uneconomical to drill for gas in the U.S.
But thanks to its superior engineering expertise and drilling capabilities SWN is an exception, as it has one of the industry's lowest finding and producing costs,. In 2011 the company grew its production and reserves by almost 20%, at an F&D cost of only $1.31 per Mcfe.
As the sixth largest independent natural gas producer in the U.S., with a 99% focus on gas, SWN is poised to benefit from the expected recovery in natural gas pricing.
Historically the company's drilling operations have been concentrated in two areas, Fayetteville, Ark. (65% of capital spending and 87% of last year's production) and the Marcellus Shale formation in Pennsylvania (25% of capital spending and 5% of 2011 production, but increasing rapidly).
More recently, SWN has been drilling in eastern Colorado, New Brunswick, Canada and the Lower Smackover Brown Dense Play (LSBD), a liquid gas play, in southern Arkansas and northern Louisiana. One industry analyst believes the LSBD play has the potential to be a game changer for the company with a possible value exceeding the current share price. The company has methodically increased its drilling in the play but has provided limited information about its commercial prospects. More information is expected in a few weeks when SWN releases its 2013 capital budget.
What we like about SWN:
- The management team has a track record of growing production at an industry leading low cost. From 2006-2011 the company averaged over 40% annual production and reserve growth and annually replaced over 400% of production at an F&D cost of $1.31 per Mcfe.
- The company boasts a strong balance sheet (its year-end 2011 net debt-to-book capitalization was 30%). The balance sheet combined with cash flow allows the company to invest in its business and develop its oil and gas producing acreage.
- The current share price trades at a significant discount to analyst's estimates of asset value (around $50 per share) without giving any value to new venture plays such as LSBD.
- It has timely prospects as natural gas is currently a cost-effective, clean energy solution for the U.S.
Overall, we like SWN as a year-end stocking stuffer and we are expecting good things from the company in the upcoming year.

The Weather Channel will take viewers out of this world with "Deadliest Space Weather," a new original series slated to bow in January.
Each half-hour episode will highlight extreme weather conditions throughout the solar system and explore what would happen if these weather patterns occurred on Earth. Examples include Venus's acid rain, Saturn's winds and Mars' dust storms.
Weather Channel has ordered six episodes from shingle Flight 33.
"Exploring these unique weather phenomena in our solar system is a fascinating journey, but one understands the true magnitude of these galactic storms so much more when they are theoretically placed into the familiar context of life on Earth," said Michael Dingley, senior VP of content and development at the Weather Channel.
"Deadliest Space Weather" is yet another skein for the cabler's growing original programming slate that includes shows "Coast Guard Alaska," "Iron Men" and "Hurricane Hunters."

In the Photo above, CHP Officer Pierman and a Mendocino County Sheriff confer with the demonstrators about their well being and discuss their plans around the lock down.
Work at the Caltrans Willits Bypass project was once again delayed when it was discovered that two protesters, Jamie Chevalier and Travis Jochimsen, had used metal lockboxes to lock themselves to a wick drain augur, a tool used in the process of draining the wetland area along the bypass construction site. The two were locked to the augur for around five hours before they were arrested -see photos below. Photos on this page are by Ree Slocum Photography.

Around 6 am this morning, Jamie Chevalier (Photo Left) and Travis Jochimsen (photo right) locked down in a black bear device on the wick drain boom brought in by Caltrans.
Confrontation escalated this morning, April 2, 2013, between those protesting the Caltrans Willits Bypass Project and California Highway Patrol Officers, the agency charged with safety and enforcement at the project site. Using CHP SWAT Officers trained in climbing techniques, the tree-sitter known as Warbler, who was also engaged in a hunger strike, was removed from high in the tree that she has occupied for over two months. Additional tree-sitters were extracted by the CHP team later in the day.
In response to today's removal of Willit's Bypass Project protestors, by the California Highway Patrol, California Senator Noreen Evans (D-Santa Rosa) issued a statement which can be read below.
Use the player below to hear details on this story in a piece aired on the KMUD Local News on Tues., April, 2, 2013 by KMUD News Director, Terri Klemetson.

California State Senator Evans' Statement, dated April 2, 2013:
CHP was deployed to remove the protestors of the Willits Bypass Project just hours before I was set to meet with the director of Caltrans to have my questions answered. According to some reports, protestors in trees were extracted by CHP using "rubber bullets", and that CHP officers significantly outnumbered protestors.
I am shocked and dismayed at what seems to be an excessive use of force on unarmed protestors.
Thus far, I feel Caltrans and CHP have been slow to respond to my questions and quick to act regarding the Bypass Project.
It also was extremely disturbing to learn that the press was excluded from observing the removal of the protestors.
I had asked to be kept informed on a daily basis prior to any extraordinary action on this project as I represent the 1.3 million Californians living in the Second Senate District where this project is taking place. Regretfully that did not happen today.
I met today with Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty to express my dismay at today's events. I have additionally requested an immediate meeting with CHP Commissioner Joseph Farrow.
I urge everyone to remain calm and for protestors to remain peaceful in their opposition.

KMUD News Post detailing the background of this project and protests against the project
Related information contributed by Dan Roberts
The press release below dated, March 21, 2013 was jointly released by three environmental groups: Center for Biological Diversity, Willits Environmental Center and EPIC.
SACRAMENTO, Calif.— Two-dozen conservation and community organizations are joining together to take on irresponsible and damaging highway-widening projects around the state by the California Department of Transportation. The Caltrans Watch coalition cites wasteful spending, institutionalized disregard of environmental regulations designed to protect natural resources, and a pattern of refusal to address local community concerns. A dozen of the groups are calling on Caltrans to halt construction on the controversial Willits Bypass project in Mendocino County.
"With devastating budget cuts to education, health and social services and the state park system, how can Caltrans squander $350 million on five unnecessary highway widening projects in Northern California, with severe environmental impacts?" asked Jeff Miller of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Someone needs to give 'em a brake. Where's the oversight and accountability to rein in the pervasive problems at Caltrans, like refusal to consider reasonable alternatives to massive highway projects, shoddy environmental review, no transparency, faulty data and disregard for public input?"
"The Willits community is coming to realize what a disaster the Willits Bypass will be for our environment and our town," said Ellen Drell of the Willits Environmental Center. "The project should be stopped until Caltrans adequately evaluates less damaging alternatives. We want our transportation dollars and construction jobs directed toward locally appropriate infrastructure that doesn't bankrupt the state, further trash our natural resources or ignore the $300 billion highway maintenance backlog."
"From the wild canyons of the Smith River, through the redwood parks of Humboldt, to the wetlands headwaters of the Eel River at Willits, Caltrans is running roughshod over the North Coast," said Natalynne Delapp of the Environmental Protection Information Center. "Local communities are trying to engage the agency to develop appropriate transportation solutions, but Caltrans continues to bulldoze us with archaic projects straight out of the 1950s, that benefit only a limited group of economic interests."
Despite a pending lawsuit filed by conservation groups challenging the Willits Bypass — a proposed four-lane freeway to be built through sensitive wetlands around the community of Willits — Caltrans has stated its intention to cut down mature oak forests, remove brush and destroy riparian vegetation along critical salmon streams before the case can be heard in federal court this summer. State Sen. Noreen Evans earlier this month sent a letter to Caltrans echoing community concerns over whether there is a need for a four-lane project, why other alternatives or routes were not seriously examined, and if less environmentally destructive solutions to address local traffic congestion were feasible. For now, protestors and a tree-sitter in the path of Caltrans' proposed superhighway have prevented tree and vegetation removal.
The Caltrans Watch coalition includes: Alameda Creek Alliance, Bay Area Coalition for Headwaters, Campaign for Sensible Transportation, Center for Biological Diversity, Citizens Committee to Complete the Refuge, East Bay Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, Environmental Protection Information Center, Friends of Coyote Hills Committee, Friends of Del Norte, Friends of the Eel River, Local Ecology and Agriculture Fremont, Mendocino Group of the Sierra Club, Northcoast Environmental Center, Pacificans for Highway One Alternatives, Piercy Watersheds Association, Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club, Safe Alternatives for our Forest Environment, Save Little Lake Valley, Save Niles Canyon, Save Our Sunol, Save Richardson Grove Coalition, Tri-City Ecology Center and Willits Environmental Center.
Caltrans has consistently refused to consider less expensive and ecologically damaging alternatives to highway widening projects that could accomplish safety and transportation objectives, and has ignored public concerns, input and opposition. The coalition points to half a dozen highway-widening projects being pursued by Caltrans that are not needed to achieve the stated safety or transportation access purposes:
* The $10 million Richardson Grove project to widen and realign Highway 101 through Richardson Grove State Park in Humboldt County, damaging prized old-growth redwoods to supposedly increase access for large commercial trucks;
* The $210 million Highway 101 superhighway the size of Interstate 5 around Willits, not needed for local traffic volumes, requiring the largest wetlands fill permit in Northern California in the past 50 years and running through headwaters of salmon-bearing streams and habitat for endangered plants;
* The $19 million Highway 197/199 widening projects in Del Norte County along the "wild and scenic" Smith River to accommodate oversized commercial trucks, with impacts to old-growth redwood trees;
* The $76 million Niles Canyon highway-widening project in Alameda County, a "safety" project stopped by a citizen lawsuit. Caltrans now admits the widening is not needed and the Federal Highway Administration recently concluded it is not warranted by the state's safety data. It would have cut 600 riparian trees and added four miles of cement retaining walls and rip-rap along a regionally significant stream for steelhead trout;
* The $50 million Calera Parkway project to double the width of Highway 1 in Pacifica, in San Mateo County, with impacts to endangered frogs and garter snakes.
The coalition supports safe roadways and sensible transportation planning. For each of these projects the organizations have expended considerable effort through the available public review processes to encourage Caltrans to pursue reasonable and effective safety or access upgrades that would avoid needless environmental destruction. These efforts have largely been frustrated by Caltrans' refusal to even evaluate viable alternatives proposed by the affected communities.
The pattern of flawed decision-making and inadequate environmental review by Caltrans has forced community organizations to resort to litigation as the only remaining avenue to seek redress. The coalition cites systemic problems within Caltrans, beginning with the manner in which transportation infrastructure needs are identified, the proposed solutions to address those needs, incomplete and inadequate review of environmental impacts, and disregard for concerns of local communities.
In a letter addressed to Caltrans Director, Michael Dougherty, dated March 5, 2013, California District 2 Senator, Noreen Evans, communicated concerns and asked a number of questions, on behalf of her constituents, regarding the current Willits Bypass Project.

See the posts below for previous updates, background and the original post on the Willits Bypass story.
Update-Jan. 28, 2013:
This Monday, Jan. 28, about 30 to 40 protestors participated in a rally and organized a tree sit just off Highway 101, at the south end of Willits, to protest the proposed Willits Bypass Project.
Use the player below to hear more about the demonstration opposing the Willits Bypass, including interviews with demonstrators and a Caltrans representative. This piece was aired by KMUD News Correspondent, Christina Aanestad on the KMUD Local News Monday, Jan. 28, 2013.
24-year old Amanda Senseman, also known as "Warbler", sits in a tree to stop the Willits bypass.
The original post of the proposed Willits Bypass Demonstration can be viewed below.
For a number of years there has been a proposal to reroute Highway 101 around the downtown Willits area, the so-called Willits Bypass. According to the Caltrans website:
"Route 101, functionally classified a principal arterial route, is the single north-south route serving the length of coastal California and is crucial in the commerce of northwestern California. On Route 101, trucks and passenger vehicles transport goods and people to and from the many communities throughout the region. In the Willits area, it serves an increasingly heavy commuter, recreational and commercial traffic demand. Lack of capacity and congestion has resulted in delay and lengthy traffic queues within the project limits north of the city limit."
In September, 2012, concerned that the bypass project would harm wetlands, salmon streams and endangered plants, a number of environmental groups including: the Center for Biological Diversity, Willits Environmental Center, Redwood Chapter of the Sierra Club and EPIC, requested a preliminary injunction to stop the proposed bypass. Early in November of 2012 that injunction was denied by a federal judge and the work on the bypass is ready to begin as soon as funding for the project is designated.
Use the player below to hear more on this story, including a planned protest of the project on Monday, Jan.28. The piece was introduced and aired by KMUD News Coordinator, Terri Klemetson, and produced by Rian Marie and Cody Mark.

Caltrans Willits Bypass - Environmental Atlas:
According to a Press Release from the California Farm Bureau Federation, dated July 23, 2012:
Saying that a highway project has turned into a farmland-conversion project instead, the California Farm Bureau Federation filed documents requesting that state and federal agencies review and reduce the impact on agricultural land. The case involves a planned Highway 101 bypass around the city of Willits.
Acting in federal court in San Francisco, CFBF filed a motion to join in an existing lawsuit that challenges environmental review of the Willits Bypass Project; defendants include the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the California Department of Transportation.
In its motion, Farm Bureau notes that the bypass originally would have affected 150 acres of farmland. But now, more than 2,000 acres of land will be affected-with at least 400 acres removed permanently from agricultural use-as government agencies seek agricultural land to mitigate for wetlands affected by the bypass.

LOCATION:2241 Chamberlin Hall (coffee at 4:30 pm)
SUMMARY:Kelvin\, Pascal\, and mollusk shells\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Pupa Gilbert\, University of Wisconsin-Madison
DESCRIPTION:NacreaEuro"or mother-of-pearlaEuro"the tough\, iridescent biomineral lining the inner side of some mollusk shells\, is composed of aragonite (CaCO3) tablet layers alternating with organic sheets. New Polarization-dependent Imaging Contrast (PIC) maps revealed that nacre tablets are not co-oriented\, but have a broad distribution of angular orientations\, as shown by the Gilbert group (1) and subsequently by many others. The angle spread is the full-width of this distribution\, and was found to vary across different species\, and different shell growth environments. Most interestingly\, we found strong correlation between nacre tablet angle spread and environmental temperature (2)\, and this has far-reaching consequences: nacre angle spread could be used as a thermometer. Analysis of one shell with well-established stable oxygen isotope analysis and PIC-mapping validates the nacre thermometer in one modern shell. Once validated on more shells\, modern and ancient\, nacre-paleothermometry could be established as the first entirely-physical\, as opposed to chemical\, proxy for temperature (3). But the implications of this finding are more profound: if T is the temperature at which the nacre formed and AS is the measured angle spread\, then the equation T=26.826+0.051 AS links environment and bio-structure. This equation suggests that one could predict a biological structure based on the environment in which the organism forms it.

What would you like to know about me? I'm a WNY native, born and raised in Springville, and I haven't really left the nest much. I live in Eden now with my wife Brandi and two kids Madelynn and Maverick. They kind of run my world and that's how I like it. But when I'm not taking them from place to place, my newest hobby is taking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I've been taking that for about two and a half years now, so it's not uncommon to find me at my dojo. I also own a sound system, so I'm busy…a lot. Down time? I don't get a lot of that, but when I do have some time to relax, I love to fish, camp, hang out by a fire, play some poker and generally anything that involves hanging out with friends with some ice-cold beers. I love Buffalo for its seasons. Although I'm admittedly not a fan of being cold, I love outdoor sports like skiing and snowboarding. I never have enough time for that though through all the shoveling and snow blowing.

Logan is the son of Jerry and Danielle?Witt, Tama, and has brothers, Jake and Mason. Grandparents are Dale and Jackie Weiland, the late Shar Vest and Byron and Jill Witt.

Not being a wicked hard-core gamer, I have little reverence for the awesomeness of Street Fighter. Most of what I remember of the game was discreetly observed from behind the pages of the game manual (where all the character art was), while my brother and his friends would play the game. Hence, this goofiness.
Comics! (Click to enlarge.)
It's like some kind of illness--I don't know how much longer Street Fighter will plague me, but until it stops, you may or may not see more of this sort of thing.
(PS, thanks to Jed, for the M. Bison prompt!)

In Memoriam
Today, much to my dismay, our little group was broken up. Matt Braly and Javier Recio Gracia have been my office mates for the last three months, and today we were all moved to separate offices on campus. This comic is a memorial of a real life event that happened a few weeks ago...only replace "timebomb" with "recently laundered underwear."
True story.

Idle Sketching
Now and again I find myself with a little free time. I've recently discovered a drawing program called Colors on the Nintendo DS that's pretty handy. It's nice because its capabilities are limited and the screen is tiny--which prevents me from overdoing anything or trying to get too fancy. Plus it's got this neato playback function that tells you everything that's wrong with how you make drawings.
Here are a handful of my initial explorations.
A quick shout-out to the dudes that made Colors and the drawing playback possible.

Operator Driven Reliability saves coal crusher from catastrophic damage and €41 000 in repairs
The challenge
The SKF solutionSKF helped the plant set up a successful Operator Driven Reliability (ODR) program, using the SKF Microlog Inspector, SKF Machine Condition Detector and SKF @ptitude enterprise software suite.
These ODR tools provided operators with a quick, accurate, consistent method of logging and digitizing observations, plus the ability to capture vibration and temperature data. The information collected was archived in a common database for trending and monitoring alarm conditions reported through an automatic exception report generator. SKF facilitated and implemented the initial process, provided enabling technologies, and trained operators on all five shifts.
The resultsWithin a week, operators found several lubrication issues on equipment and initiated work orders for corrective action.
As part of the ongoing ODR program, operators detected an evolving bearing problem on one of the primary coal crushers. The bearing and seal were replaced for about €1,370, compared with an estimated €41,000 if the problem had gone undetected and the bearing had failed catastrophically.

Iowa is a pretty safe place. We rank among the 10 most peaceful states in America in the 2012 U.S. Peace Index report, which looks at homicide, violent crime, policing and prison rates.
We also fare well when it comes to accidents. According to the Trust for America's Health, Iowa has the 12th lowest rate of injury deaths. Our state ranks high because we meet many recommended safety standards that keep us healthy and save lives. These include tracking the causes of injuries, prescription drug monitoring to prevent overdoses, required seat belt use and increased attention to head injuries in youth sports.
We further improved Iowa's reputation for safety this year by:

1. Requiring criminal background checks of health care employees to prevent abuse and fraud.
2. Requiring repeat OWI offenders to install an ignition interlock device before they can get a temporary restricted license to drive to work and substance abuse treatment.
3. Ensuring teens get supervised driving practice in all seasons and face fewer distractions by strengthening Iowa's Graduated Driver's Licensing.
4. Requiring more criminals to submit DNA samples. Research shows those who commit property crimes have a high chance of reoffending, with crimes and violence often escalating.
5. Providing effective response to emergencies by through 911 funding.
6. Ensuring children are brought up in safe homes and get the care they need.
7. Protecting victims by providing more tools to law enforcement and helping those who've experienced domestic violence and sexual assault to get the services they need.
8. Toughening Iowa laws to better ensure law enforcement can prosecute and put away sex offenders.
9. Preventing recidivism through corrections education, which helps offenders acquire the skills to become productive members of their communities once they are out of prisons.
10. Allowing Iowans to add medical information to their electronic driving record, making it immediately available to health care providers in emergencies.

Sixty-seven museums, theaters, gardens and parks will offer a chance to visit for free this summer.
Thank God it's Friday is especially true this summer when you can visit a favorite venue or discover a new one for free.
A family of two adults and two children over age 4, for example, ordinarily would pay $112 to go to Plimoth Plantation and The Mayflower II. On Aug. 15, they pay nothing because of Free Fun Fridays, which begins Friday and runs through Aug. 29.
"People plan their summer around it," said Blake Jordan, executive director of the Highland Street Foundation, which started and funds the program. "They tell us they can't afford to go away, but they take Friday off and visit our venues. It's a stayvacation."
Plimoth Plantation, one of 67 participating museums, theaters, gardens and parks, expects about 8,000 people, based on last summer's Free Fun Fridays attendance. Typically in August, 4,000 people visit over three days from Friday through Sunday.
"It's one of our favorite days," said Courtney Roy-Branigan, the plantation's director of development. "For a lot of people, it's their first time here and there's a kind of curiosity. There are a lot of kids, and our staff are asked questions they don't normally hear."
To accommodate so many people, Plimoth Plantation adds shade and misting tents, extra benches, hands-on activities and a shuttle bus from overflow parking at Home Depot on Long Pond Road.
Started in 2008 as part of the foundation's 20th anniversary celebration, Free Fun Fridays originally had just 10 sites and 60,000 visitors. Last year, 60 sites received 165,000 visitors.
"After last year, I thought there's no way there are more venues," said Jordan, who added six new sites for this summer. "That's what's so great about where we live. There are so many unbelievable resources."
Free Fun Fridays is an incentive to explore smaller, less well known and unusual places, such as the eight-year-old Museum of Russian Icons in Clinton, near Worcester. Typically about 50 people a day visit; last year on Free Fun Fridays, about 5,000 visited.
"People say, 'I didn't know about that place' or 'I drive by, but never stop in. Today I did and I will go back,'" Jordan said.
The free admissions are spread throughout the summer, with about five to seven locations from Cape Cod to the Berkshires free each Friday. The Highland Street Foundation, which spends $650,000 on the program, gives grants to each organization to cover the lost admission fees.
The new venues this year are the MIT Museum, Sandwich Glass Museum, Cape Cod Maritime Museum, Falmouth Museums on the Green, Tower Hill Botanical Gardens, and Historic Deerfield.
South of Boston, admission is free to Pilgrim Hall Museum on July 11; Children's Museum, Easton, and Battleship Cove, Fall River, July 25; Plimoth Plantation Aug. 15; Ocean Explorium, New Bedford, July 18; Fuller Craft Museum, Brockton, Aug. 8; and Buttonwood Park Zoo, New Bedford, Aug. 29.
If you want to get started on opening day, visit the Sports Museum in Boston and save $30 for two adults and two children age 10, or visit Franklin Park Zoo and save $59.80 for two adults and two children ages 2 and up.
To make a longer trip worthwhile, combine two free sites. In the Greater Worcester area on Aug. 15, visits are free at both the Museum of Russian Icons and the Fitchburg Art Museum.
In addition to having North America's largest collection of Russian Orthodox icons (hand-painted images of holy people or events), the museum has the exhibit "Darker Shades of Red: Soviet Propaganda Art from the Cold War Era." It showcases Communist posters, banners and statuettes that promoted Soviet Union ideology from post World War II to 1990 and that caricatured the United States and Western Europe. Inside, its Russian Tea Room visitors dine on tea and authentic Russian chocolate, biscuits and snacks beneath an LED ceiling light show.
The Fitchburg Art Museum has galleries of ancient Egyptian, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and African art, as well as a significant photography collection.
While Commonwealth Shakespeare performs for free each summer on the Boston Common, this year's production of "Twelfth Night" will be preceded by Free Fun Fridays activities for kids, as well as a free concert sponsored by the New England Conservatory.
If you're on Cape Cod on July Fourth and want an addition to parades, barbecues and the beach, take advantage of free admission at Heritage Museum & Gardens, Falmouth Museums on the Green and the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouthport.
One of the most popular free opportunities is the ferry rides to Georges and Spectacle islands on Aug. 8, which can be combined with free carousel rides nearby on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. Arrive early, since the roughly 5,000 spaces on the boats are expected to fill by noon.
So, go out, have fun and be glad it's Friday.

"Oh, Adrian Peterson is on … come on A.P.," Beckham yelled out to no one in particular. After seeing Peterson get stuffed at the line on the first drive, he was already willing to trade the running back from his fantasy team.
Luckily he has a co-owner. The Yin to his Yang. The other rookie with a big future. "Nice patience," Chris Getz calmly said to Beckham, sounding more big brotherly than teammate.
Ten minutes later, Peterson had the first of his three touchdowns on the day. Beckham was still walking around the clubhouse hours before the Sunday game, the usual ball of energy that he is. Getz? He was taking a nap in a chair. …

I remember a few years back, when I had a web-site I wanted to develop, that many people recommended I go the LAMP route. Unfortunately, I never got around to studying/practicing that.
I'm currently revisiting the web-site idea.
The web-site will be dynamic, transactional, and hopefully end up with around 1,000,000 pv/mo and 300,000 members within 18 months. Will LAMP adequately support a site like that (i.e. have you seen it under a site with those specs)?

Some weekends it seems like nothing much is happening. This will not be one of those.
The Bay Area is gearing up for a remarkable confluence of sports, music and culture — a perfect storm of high-profile events where literally there is something for everyone.
Baseball playoffs. Bluegrass. Football. Justin Bieber onstage. America's Cup World Series regatta on the bay. And the breathtaking sight of the Blue Angels in the sky.
And that's just the start of a lengthy list of pulse-racing doings that will have the region hopping, dancing and cheering.
"This is what we live for here," said Giants CEO Larry Baer. "There's just a vibe to the region right now. There's so many events going on and it makes you feel alive. We're lucky to live in such a vibrant community."
That's not just Chamber of Commerce-style hype, either. Consider this marquee lineup:
"That's pretty awesome," said Jonny Gomes, the A's outfielder and Petaluma native, about the weekend. "You should go around town, soak in all that stuff, then head for Napa and do some wine tasting on your way out."
So, buckle up. Wait, on second thought, officials are asking — actually, begging — that you instead use public transportation because this convergence of events promises to create traffic headaches.
"This really is unprecedented," said Jerry Robbins of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. "We've had football and baseball simultaneously. We've had football and Fleet Week simultaneously. But we've never had everything all at once. We're encouraging people to use any transportation other than drive."
Public officials have had this weekend circled for months and are beefing up mass transit service to help deal with the masses, like the wave heading for the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass event. The six-stage, 88-act jam includes an eclectic range of artists such as Emmylou Harris, The Civil Wars, Elvis Costello and Dwight Yoakam.
The festival reportedly has drawn 800,000 in the past, but publicist Tracey Buck would only say that they are expecting a "massive" crowd.
"This is probably the craziest weekend in a good long time and maybe the craziest ever," Buck said. "When it rains, it pours." Then she stopped herself. "But hopefully there's no rain."
No worry. The National Weather Service is predicting a pleasant fall weekend in the Bay Area after the recent warm spell.
In addition to events that had been long scheduled, the Giants and the A's crashed the party by surging into the playoffs — making it a great time to be a Bay Area sports fan.
The Giants are vying for their second World Series title in three years. The A's, despite one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, have become the national pastime's best story. The 49ers are playing like a Super Bowl contender.
"It's a perfect weekend for sports," said Gary Radnich, the longtime KRON television and KNBR radio personality.
So perfect that he's staying home to watch multiple games from his couch.
Music fans also might feel there is too much going on. Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar, which monitors the concert scene, said it's only coincidence that so many must-see acts have arrived at one time in the Bay Area.
But while tickets for the Madonna show and others might have been purchased months ago, Bongiovanni said: "Your baby-sitter bills might be a little high this weekend."
Mike Ferguson, spokesman with the San Francisco area office of the California Highway Patrol, said if people must drive, they should carpool and give themselves plenty of extra time.
"We don't want to discourage you from coming out," he said. "But be smart about it. If you're going to Fleet Week, come early because if you're traveling near 49ers game time, you're going to be facing trouble."
49ers owner Jed York and wife Danielle plan to attend a rooftop barbecue Saturday to watch the Blue Angels and, of course, the 49ers game at Candlestick Park. But that's enough fun, he said, with Danielle expecting their first child in two weeks.
"This is just a great time with all the teams playing and everything going on," York said. "A rising tide really does float all boats. It's really exciting. In fact I told Larry Baer that it's a 50 percent chance that Danielle goes into labor either at a Niners or Giants game."
