When they were off Cape Finisterre yesterday evening, Gabart and Desjoyeaux realised that their starboard rudder had been damaged. Diverting to Peniche since 1400hrs UTC this afternoon, the two skippers on MACIF have been carrying out a pit stop in the port there. They are replacing the blade on the damaged rudder. A technical team is on the spot in Portugal to assist them.
The class leaders, who had built margin of up to 50 miles by Cape Finisterre after a robust passage across the Bay of Biscay were racing against time to get back on to the race course. Conditions meantime remained very favourable for the IMOCA Open 60 class, racing downwind in the Portuguese trade winds, so adding pressure to the French duo who many observers, pre-start, considered favourites to win the ten boat class, racing the boat on which Gabart won the Vendée Globe solo non stop around the world race in February. Before they stopped MACIF had seen their enforced separation from the fleet to the SE reduce their lead to just 13 miles on this afternoon's 1300hrs UTC position report.
After leaving from Roscoff -where they had been required to sit out a Biscay gale _ the full 26 boat Class 40 were back in the race by this afternoon. The order among the top boats remains very much as it was when they departed from the Breton safe haven this morning. Sébastien Rogues and Fabien Delahaye on GDF SUEZ lead by just over 7 miles this afternoon, ahead of the Spanish duo Alex Pella and Pablo Santurde on the Spanish designed and built Tales Santander 2014, in turn just less than four miles ahead of Germany's Jorg Riechers and Pierre Brasseur on Mare. After sitting out the gale Class 40 are expecting to be rewarded with a relatively straightforward passage in W'ly winds of around 12-18kts across the Bay of Biscay with the leaders anticipated to pass Cape Finisterre late on Monday night or very early Tuesday morning.
The three Class 40s which have British skippers or co-skippers were together in 11th, 12th and 13th this afternoon, less than two miles separating Brian Thompson and Mike Gascoyne's Caterham Challenge in 11th from Ned Collier-Wakefield and Sam Goodchild on Concise 8 with Miranda Merron and Halvard Mabire on Campagne de France in between the two.
Arriving in La Coruna at around 0900hrs local time this morning, Maitre Jacques skippers Loic Fequet and Loic Escoffier announced their abandonment officially. Having lost the front off their starboard float of their 2005 launched Multi 50, damaged back to the forward bulkhead of the float, they had no alternative but to withdraw. At the front of the very hotly contested Multi 50 fleet Yves Le Blevec and Kito de Pavant were back in front this afternoon on Actual, 8 miles ahead of Arkema Region Aquitaine) and a further mile ahead of FenetreA Cardinal (Leroux-Eliès) as they raced downwind in 12-14kts of Portuguese trade winds, some 100 miles to the NW of Lisbon.
Edmond de Rothschild co-skippers Sébastien Josse and Charles Caudrelier seem to be reaping a dividend for their choice to head more to the south than their rivals on Oman Air-Musandam, Sidney Gavignet and Damian Foxall, as they pass to the south of the high pressure system enjoying good, fast downwind conditions making 22-26kts. The class leaders had knocked in a useful 505 miles 24hours run.
Tanguy de Lamotte , skipper Initiatives Coeur ( IMOCA ), "Everything is good, we can just see Alessandro (di Benedetto) on team Plastique, two miles behind us at Cape Finisterre. The wind has eased and we have 9-10kts of breeze and a big swell which shakes us about a bit. The shift to the west allowed us to avoid the worst of the depression and so the worst we saw was 38kts. We were both a bit sick. Now we are getting into the fun bit of the race."
Marc Guillemot, skipper de Safran (IMOCA), "The way out of the channel and the crossing of the Bay of Biscay was pretty much as we expected: fast, wet and challenging. Right now we are sailing downwind along the Portuguese coast. We have had a few technical issues but nothing too serious and nothing that will not let us continue our attack. Pascal is napping because up to midway across the Bay of Biscay we have pretty much at it all time with no sleep at all over the first 24 hours, so need to recuperate a bit.
"We are getting into our rhythm and setting patterns for eating, sleeping and getting dry! There is the high-pressure area to contend with and the run down South to the Canaries to prepare. Macif has sailed better than we have whilst we had our small technical issues to deal with and our navigation. Looking at the last position report, we can really see that they have made a big lead and the 3-mile advantage at Ushant has paid off, but above all they are brilliant.
"The game now is to try and rest and have clear head to think about the strategy to play out. All is going well on board and the fight continues because there are always tactical decisions that can be made. With downwind sailing there are gybes to be made and it is always better to be further towards the east than the east. Let's what the wind variations can let us do."
Charles Caudrelier, co-skipper d'Edmond de Rothschild (MOD70), "We are not doing too badly and sailing downwind at a good speed, so ti is quite pleasant. On there boats you have to be really carful, even in dream conditions. We have tried sleeping, but have not managed to get as much as we would have liked to. We had a lot of manouvers to do get round the squalls last night and have positioned ourselves further south. Our friend (Oman Air-Musandam) has gone straight ahead. On a multihull we move really fast so our advantage can melt away very quickly. The router is not on board, but we trust him completely. We are 170 miles from Madeira with 30 knots of wind and should be there quickly."

It's OK, you can all exhale now. After an improbable final week to the MLB season was capped with one of the greatest single days of baseball in recent memory, October baseball is finally here — one day early.
It's OK, you can all exhale now.
After an improbable final week to the MLB season was capped with one of the greatest single days of baseball in recent memory, October baseball is finally here — one day early.
It's still September for another day, but the baseball playoffs have arrived.
While the division races were anticlimactic, the wild card gave us far more drama than anybody could have expected.
In late August it seemed like the final month of the regular season would be a dud. Instead, it was a pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching few weeks that turned into a dream for baseball nerds all over the world.
Here's a quick look at each of the Division Series match-ups and a thought on who might advance to the championship series.
American League
Detroit Tigers vs. New York Yankees
This is a dangerous match-up for the Yankees. The big flaw for the Yankees is starting pitching depth. The ace is there in C.C. Sabathia and Ivan Nova is the unquestioned No. 2 starter. The problem is we've never seen Nova pitch on a stage like this in, and in such an important role at that. Nova is the "New Andy Pettitte" for the Yankees. If the ace falters, Nova needs to step up and pitch the game of his life — maybe more than once. He is the X-factor in this series for New York. If he can create a dynamic 1-2 punch, then the Yankees will be tough to beat. As for Detroit, Justin Verlander has the look of a pitcher who can single-handedly carry his team all the way — kind of like what Cliff Lee almost did with Texas last season. Of course, Verlander's only postseason experience (2006) provided spotty results — at best. He is older and wise, however, and if he is an automatic win for the Tigers, they are as formidable as any in the playoffs. Like Nova, the Tigers have a critical X-factor in their No. 2 starter. Doug Fister emerged as the unquestioned compliment to Verlander and went 8-1 over his final 11 appearances. Detroit has an underrated lineup, led by Miguel Cabrera, but the Yankees have most of the big names — as Curtis Granderson, Robinson Cano, and Mark Teixiera all finished in the top-4 in RBI in the AL. New York can mash as well as anyone, but is prone to the big slump. The Yankees need Alex Rodriguez to be the "A-Rod" again the way he was in the 2009 postseason. Verlander does to the Yankees what Lee did in 2010, and the Tigers advance … TIGERS IN 5.
Tampa Bay Rays vs. Texas Rangers
In a rematch of the 2010 ALDS, the Rays and Rangers both play a very fun brand of baseball. Texas has a deep, powerful lineup that also has lots of speed. The Rays don't have a sexy offense, and is easily the weakest hitting team in the postseason, but they're pesky and find a way to win. Joe Maddon, who should the AL Manager of the Year, guided one of the great late-season runs to get into the playoffs. Evan Longoria delivered the final blow to the Boston Red Sox September choke with one of the more dramatic regular season home runs you will ever see. If B.J. Upton can hit the way he did during the 2008 postseason, then the Rays' offense looks quite a bit better.
Texas will hit, there's little doubt of that, even against the Rays' strong pitching. Josh Hamilton, Nelson Cruz, Ian Kinsler, and Mike Napoli are quite the set of slugger, but they all can run — with the exception of Napoli — and that's what makes Texas the most complete team in the American League. The reigning league champions will eliminate the Rays again … RANGERS IN 4.
National League
St. Louis Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Phillies
The St. Louis Cardinals came out of nowhere to slip past the Atlanta Braves for the final playoff spot. Lost in the talk about the Philadelphia Phillies, the Braves' choke, and the feel-good stories of the Milwaukee Brewers and Arizona Diamondbacks? The Cardinals hung around long enough to take advantage of a banged-up Braves' team to cough up a big lead. Albert Pujols is still the straw that stirs the St. Louis drink, but a revitalized Lance Berkman and Chris Carpenter, along with surprisingly solid seasons from Kyle Lohse and Jaime Garcia have the Cardinals on fire. However, it'll be tough for them to go toe-to-toe with the Phillies. Rolling out Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels in the first three games of every series is tough to overcome for any team. The one issue the Phillies have is consistency on offense, but there's no doubt the firepower they possess. The addition of Hunter Pence at the trade deadline was a critical bat to add in the outfield. In 2010, the Phillies got shut down by the Giants' incredible starting pitching. Now in 2011, they hope to do the same to everybody else and they won't need to score many runs … PHILLIES IN 3.
Arizona Diamondbacks vs. Milwaukee Brewers
The Brewers might have been a trendy choice to win the NL Central, but very few people thought the Diamondbacks would be here. The way Maddon should be an easy choice for Manager of the Year in the AL, Kirk Gibson has to be the winner in the NL. The Diamondbacks are a fun group of players that have a mix of budding young superstars like Justin Upton, shocking 21-game winner Ian Kennedy, and other no-name players like Daniel Hudson and Ryan Roberts forming a team that nobody believed in until we all had no choice. They outplayed the reigning champion Giants down the stretch and easily won the West division. In Milwaukee, this has been "brewing" for quite a while. The Brewers made the playoffs back in 2008, but were unceremoniously sent packing by the eventual champion Phillies. While the Brewers collecting big bats like Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun, and Corey Hart, the team also found a way to quiet build a nice pitching rotation. Yovani Gallardo, Zack Greinke, Shawn Marcum, and Randy Wolf give the Brewers perhaps the second-deepest rotation behind Philadelphia. However, that foursome is relatively untested on the big stage. Wolf and Gallardo have some postseason experience, but not much. The Brewers are slowly gaining momentum as a favorite pick to upset the Phillies, but first they need to get past the Diamondbacks — which I believe they will. The pitching will respond well and the big bats won't shrink under the brighter lights … BREWERS IN 5.
ALCS: Tigers over Rangers — Again, I see Verlander officially signaling to the world that he is baseball's best pitcher with a heroic postseason run.
NLCS: Brewers over Phillies — Yes, I'm drinking the Milwaukee Kool-Aid. The Brewers remind of a team that doesn't care that it's playing in the postseason, and is just trying to have fun. I believe that lessens the pressure, which is squarely on Philadelphia to answer the hype.
World Series: Tigers over Brewers — Verlander finishes off one of the greatest individual achievements in baseball history with a ring. The bats on Detroit are being overlooked, while the Brewers' scary bullpen finally catches up to them.

True Romance Lyrics
I'm not here to judge you, I'm just here to tell you what you have done wrong. Beautiful girl, looking her best, takes off a towel puts on a dress. Fixes her hair to look good for someone who waits in a car to go to a motel. I may not always be perfect but I'll always try. Will you say your prayers just to be honest with yourself? Will you save your soul? Is this what you wanted all along? Husband can't bear to just lie to himself. Stock market falls and he loses it all. He sleeps alone for the third time this week. He's become numb he wants this to be over. Blood on the floor. What have you done? Head in your hands. What have you done? Beautiful girl, sleeps by herself, half the beds cold, she knows it's her fault. She's given in and admitted defeat, but she'll be fine.

This just came to me, I've tried to post it before, but I've changed what I think was the trouble.
Away as the soft winds blew,
Blackness with light had been filled.
Crisp the day was that I did rue,
Dreams were dark as I fiddled.
Every tale old and true,
Fair maids and knights alike.
Gil-Galad the true,
Horse riders on a hike.
Indeed their deed were great,
Just think of them in detail.
Keen of sword never late,
Lasting courage, never fail.
Masters one and all,
Never forgotten, never forgotten.
Open ears hear my call
Pact breakers are rotten.
Queens and Kings celebrate,
Rejoice and break forth praise.
Sing out loud for souls do mate,
Trust me now in this haze!
Understand the words here,
Vista's ever changing.
Wishes are hard to bear,
Xyloid, in the forest hiding,
Yellow sunsets ever flameing,
Zaps the twilight, under boats sailing.

Roads, Oil Spills, and Externalities
Planners are quick to criticize roads and highway investments for the vast sums spent to build, operate and maintain them, often questioning the value of these subsidies. Recently, on a planning list-serve, these subsidies were labeled an "external cost" of automobiles, but they are not.
Planners are quick to criticize roads and highway investments for the vast sums spent to build, operate and maintain them, often questioning the value of these subsidies. Recently, on a planning list-serve, these subsidies were labeled an "external cost" of automobiles, but they are not. I thought it might be a useful time to make this point more broadly because a crucial justification for public intervention in a market economy is to correct for market failures, including times when external costs exist.
Furthermore, fellow Interchange blogger Michael Lewyn provided his own contribution on the concept of externalities ("Externalities Meet Externalities"), and, with all due respect, I think he has confused a few important distinctions.
Defining what is meant by an "externality" or "external cost" is important because it creates a set of parameters for policy intervention. Following the conventional definitions used in economics, political science, public administration, and public policy analysis, an externality exists when a third party bears the unintended cost (or benefit) of a transaction or action even though they weren't part of the exchange. (My standard reference is the survey Dennis Mueller's Public Choice III, see page 25.) Because costs are born involuntarily, policy intervention is justified to mitigate or correct the harm. While external benefits are probably more common, they don't get much attention because they generally don't pose serious problems that must be addressed through public policy.
This brings me to the main focus of this post: Are the taxes levied to fund roads an external cost? No. For the most part, they are not costs imposed on unwilling third parties. Rather, roads are usually classified as public goods, which are products or services that are socially valuable but cannot (or will not) be provided privately. The subsidies used to provide roads are the explicit costs of providing these public goods for society's benefit in the same way that general taxes are used to support the court system. In fact, most communities vote on property and sales tax increases to fund roads, and they approve these quite often. Thus, subsidies to build, maintain, and operate roads are not properly called an external cost, or even an external effect, let alone an unintended effect, of automobile use. Since the vast majority of travel is on roads, any third party external costs as they relate to financing these transportation systems are likely very small.
A side bar is whether public funds on roads are costs "externalized" by users to the larger public through taxes and other subsidies. I'll address that in a Part 2 to this discussion that will appear next week.
Let's take the discussion of externalities a step further. In the same list-serve discussion, the BP Gulf Oil spill was called an external cost of our reliance on the automobile. Once again, the key question is: Why pays the cost? While the Oil Spill is a terrible environmental tragedy, that fact alone doesn't qualify it as an externality, or an external cost to using oil as an energy source. Nothing was inevitable about the oil spill, nor was it a necessary effect of the technology used to drill for the oil. Indeed, in principle, PB had "fail safe" technologies in place to prevent it. The spill may have been the result of negligence or rational risk analysis, but its potential was foreseeable, and to some extent anticipated, by the public and private sectors.
More to the point, to the extent BP pays for the full costs of the environmental and economic impact of the spill, the costs will have been internalized and by definition will not be an external cost. Only the portion of the cost born by third parties (presumably non-oil consumers) would be considered an external cost. The extent of this effect has yet to be determined, so it's not a foregone conclusion that the effects will be an external cost.
This is fundamentally different from air pollution from automobiles where the environmental costs were not captured or accounted for in automobile production or use. Public regulation was used to mitigate these effects, and the costs were only indirectly internalized by users and beneficiaries.
Similarly, policy choices are not properly classified as external costs either. Military expenditures to protect Middle East oil are policy choices, not externalities as defined by most social scientists.
Of course, other justifications for public regulation exist. Many of them are rooted in the traditional of planning. But planners should be aware that terms often carry very specific meanings and can be grounded in rich intellectual histories. When used outside those contexts, confusion can sully public discussion irrespective of the merits of the case being made.

I am proud to say that I just made my first annual donation to Ben's Fund in the amount of $1,000. Thank you to all that have purchased goods or tickets or pizza from my site. It takes a lot of purchases to add up to any significant proceeds, so I chose to match what you all gave through your purchases. My hope is that this will begin an annual Hawk Blogger tradition of giving back to the community in some way that ties to our shared love of the Seahawks.
Happy Holidays to everyone, and thanks for reading!

California's political and business leaders have long argued that the state can build a new economic future by becoming a leader in green technologies. A new survey suggests that while California has achieved leadership in attracting investment in such technologies, such leadership may not count for very much.
Call it a case of good news, underwhelming.
The good news: In the survey, California led North America, with 67 percent of the total share of all venture investment in clean technology. And since North America accounted for 72 percent of global venture investment in the sector, California was unmistakably the world leader.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Here's the underwhelming part: The total amount of investment globally was just over $2 billion, with California getting $980 million. That's a drop in the bucket for a state with a GDP of more than $1.5 trillion.
That doesn't mean clean technology isn't a growth business -- it appears to be. But it's not a big business, and it's not clear if it ever will be.
If you're waiting for clean, green technology to transform the state's economic model, you may wait a long time.

Their second and most commercially successful line-up featured Ian Gillan (vocals), Roger Glover (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards), Ian Paice (drums), and Ritchie Blackmore (guitar). This line-up was active from 1969 to 1973 and was revived from 1984 to 1989, and again in 1993 before the rift between Blackmore and other members became unbridgeable. The current line-up has been much more stable, although Lord's retirement from the band in 2002 has left Paice as the only original Deep Purple member still in the band.

Their sound had a variety of musical influences, ranging from jazz, folk, blues to rock and roll. Despite the prominence of punk rock during the band's early years, the band's stripped-down sound contrasted with punk, demonstrating a more 'rootsy' influence that emerged out of pub rock. Many of Dire Straits compositions were melancholic.
'Brothers in Arms' was their biggest selling album and has sold over 30 million copies. They became one of the world's most commercially successful bands, with worldwide album sales of over 120 million. The band won a number of awards during their career, including four Grammy Awards, three Brit Awards including Best British Group twice, and two MTV Video Music Awards.
The bands career spanned over 18 years and there were numerous personnel changes in the group, with Mark Knopfler and John Illsley as the only two members who remained throughout the band's career.
Donny Osmond is an American Singer, musician, actor, dancer, radio personality and former teen idol. He has been a talk and game show host, record producer and author.

Donny went solo in the early 1970s covering such hits as 'Go Away Little Girl' and 'Puppy Love'.

The duo also did a 1998-2000 talk show and have been headlining in Las Vegas since 2008. Between a highly successful teen career in the 1970s and his rebirth in the 1990s, Osmond's career was stymied during the 1980s by what some have perceived as his 'boy scout' image. In 2009 Osmond also won the ninth season of 'Dancing with the Stars'.

Led Zeppelin are thought to have sold over 200 million albums worldwide, some sources state the sale of more than 300 million records. This makes Led Zeppelin one of the world's best selling music artists of all time.

The Clash was an English punk rock band that formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. Their music also incorporated elements of reggae, ska, dub, funk, rap, dance, and rockabilly.

They achieved huge commercial success in the United Kingdom with the release of their debut album, 'The Clash', in 1977. London Calling was their third album released in the UK in December 1979; with this release they gained popularity in the United States when it came out there a month later.

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore. The band took its name from Aldous Huxley's book 'The Doors of Perception', the title of which was a reference to a William Blake quotation: 'If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite'. They were among the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, due mostly to Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973.
They had a string of multi-platinum albums, beginning with their 1967 eponymous debut album, followed by their 1967 album 'Strange Days'. The release of 'The Doors' was the first in a series of top ten albums in the US, followed by 'Strange days', 'Waiting for the Sun', 'The Soft Parade', 'Morrison Hotel', 'Absolutely Live' and 'L.A Woman'.

What Did I Do to Deserve This, My Lord!? 2 for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) announced for Europe and is scheduled to be released on May 7th, 2010.
The goal of the game is clean and simple: As the God of Destruction, you must create a dungeon that is both difficult and powerful enough to fend off the human hero invaders. The dungeon must have a self-sustaining ecosystem, so players must strategically dig and create a dungeon with a balanced food chain. Periodically, human heroes will invade the dungeon, in order to bring peace and harmony to the world. But, they are your enemies. You must destroy the heroes before they capture the Overlord and take him back to the surface.
The game system may be simple, but this game is loaded with tons of evolving monsters, environments, and heroes for hours of game play. Compared to the original game, part 2 has 2.5 times more heroes, 3.3 times more monsters, and 4 times more stages to beat.

Saudi Arabia reports 3 more deaths from MERS virus
A colourized transmission of the MERS coronavirus that emerged in 2012 is shown. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases)
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia -- Saudi Arabia's toll from a respiratory virus that has spread from the Middle East rose to 115 with three more deaths reported, the health ministry said Monday.
A 45-year-old man and two women in their 50s have died after contracting the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome in the western city of Jiddah, according to the latest update. The Health Ministry said three other people have contracted the disease -- two in the capital, Riyadh, and one in the city of Medina. A total of 414 confirmed cases have been identified in the kingdom so far.
The disease, originally identified in 2012 in the Middle East, has since spread to other parts of the world.
MERS belongs to a family of viruses known as coronaviruses that include both the common cold and SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, which killed some 800 people in a global outbreak in 2003. MERS can cause symptoms such as fever, breathing problems, pneumonia and kidney failure.

What is a Men's Shed
There is now a new way for men to pursue their interests, develop new ones, belong to a unique group,feel useful, fulfilled and have a sense of belonging. A Shed's activities usually involve making or mending in wood (e.g. carpentry, joinery, turning, carving, whittling, marquetry, furniture renovation) but may include metalworking (milling, sheet metal, welding, etc.) bike repair, gardening, electronics, tool renovation, boat renovation, model engineering (model railways, planes) and even building a car!
Welcome to Sothbourne Men's Shed
Southbourne Men's Shed is a meeting room for all 'older' men living in the area who like to remain active and socialise with other men of the same age group without commitment.
It has well-equipped workshops where men can follow a hobby or interest, share skills, work on small individual or community projects, or just sit, relax, chat, and enjoy a cuppa or two in good company.
So why not join a group of men who can unite to finish a group, community or personal project or, perhaps, work alone on a hobby or interest whilst in the company of others.
The Shed is a haven where men can make new friends and share a joke, an idea, or an experience. A place where men can engage with others, or just read the paper or a favourite magazine.
Southbourne Men's Shed is a non-profit, non-affiliated, non-political, non-religious group whose members enjoy having somewhere to go and something to do for a few minutes or a few hours a week at minimal cost.
Southbourne Men's Shed is run by its members for its members.
We meet every day of the week EXCEPT ON WEDNESDAYS
We aim to provide up-to-date and accurate information, but we will not accept liability for the accuracy or currency of the information provided by third parties.

OGC Geo4NIEM Webinar will demonstrate enhanced use of geospatial capabilities with the US National Information Exchange Model (NIEM)
info [at] opengeospatial.org
27 August 2013. The sponsors of the OGC Geo4NIEM Initiative:
- Program Manager – Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE)
- National Information Exchange Model – Program Management Office (NIEM PMO)
and the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC®) invite interested organizations to attend the OGC Geo4NIEM Demo public webinar on 19 September 2013 from 1030-1130am EDT. Geo4NIEM is an OGC initiative named Geospatial Enhancements for the US National Information Exchange Model (NIEM).
Working from a scenario in which a hurricane strikes New York City, the initiative's technology provider participants will show how enhanced geospatial capabilities enable situational awareness through the ability to identify, process, and comprehend critical information about an incident. OGC Geo4NIEM Initiative technology provider participants include OGC members Galdos, The Carbon Project, Luciad and ArdentMC.
In the demo, specific Information Exchange Packages (IEPs) from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are implemented using widely employed open standards to support rapid and flexible communication of geospatial information in cross-community information exchange domains such as public safety, emergency management and maritime operations oversight. The following two NIEM information exchanges were used for testing and demonstration in this project.
- The NIEM Request for Information (RFI) exchange facilitates interagency processes involving requirements, tasking and information gathering activities that support data collection and awareness within intelligence, public safety, emergency management and response operations. A NIEM RFI exchange document provides the mechanism through which intelligence analysts and operations managers can request and receive relevant information for processing and analysis.
- The NIEM Vessel Position exchange from the Maritime Domain supports the effective understanding of anything associated with global maritime that could impact the United States' security, safety, economy, or environment. NIEM facilitates this understanding through effective, timely sharing of vital, secure information among many key partners by representing vessels, people, cargo, and maritime locations and activities.
The Geo4NIEM OGC Initiative addressed specific functional requirements to meet the following objectives:
- Develop recommendations to enhance the standard use of the OGC Geography Markup Language Encoding Standard (GML) with NIEM data exchanges.
- Develop recommendations to enhance the use of NIEM External Adaptors for geospatial content, including GML.
- Test and demonstrate use of embedded GML and adaptors within NIEM data exchanges.
- Develop Architecture documentation and a fact sheet for the use of embedded GML and adaptors in NIEM data exchanges.
- Develop Recommendations for the inclusion of a Geospatial Domain within NIEM.
Using GML opens up many opportunities to integrate NIEM applications with geospatial web services based on OGC interface standards such as the OGC Web Feature Service (WFS) Interface Standard. Web services that use OGC standards make it possible, for example, to: keep data current with updates from diverse sources; tailor data presentation (e.g. map styles) on the fly for different communities; and exploit powerful cloud based transaction services and processing resources. GML has become a "common language" for spatial communication in NIEM-related domains such as aviation, weather, urban modeling, hydrology and ocean observation.
After the webinar, a detailed Geo4NIEM OGC Engineering Report will be made available to the public on the OGC Public Engineering Report website.
OGC testbeds, pilot projects and interoperability experiments are part of the OGC Interoperability Program, a global, hands-on collaborative prototyping program designed to rapidly develop, test and deliver proven candidate spatial encoding and interface standards into the OGC Standards Program, where they are formalized for release as adopted OGC Standards. OGC standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT.
The OGC® is an international consortium of more than 475 companies, government agencies, research organizations, and universities participating in a consensus process to develop publicly available geospatial standards. OGC Standards support interoperable solutions that "geo-enable" the Web, wireless and location-based services, and mainstream IT. Visit the OGC website at http://www.opengeospatial.org/.

DBIx::Class::MigrationUsersContributed:Perlss::Migration::PostgresqlSandbox(3) NAME DBIx::Class::Migration::PostgresqlSandbox - Autocreate a postgresql sandbox SYNOPSIS use DBIx::Class::Migration; my $migration = DBIx::Class::Migration->new( schema_class=>'Local::Schema', db_sandbox_class=>'DBIx::Class::Migration::PostgresqlSandbox'), $migration->prepare; $migration->install; DESCRIPTION This automatically creates a postgresql sandbox in your "target_dir" that you can use for initial prototyping, development and demonstration. If you want to use this, you will need to add Test::PostgreSQL to your "Makefile.PL" or your "dist.ini" file, and get that installed properly. It also requires that you have Postgresql installed locally (although Postgresql does not need to be running, as long as we can find in $PATH the binary installation). If your copy of Postgresql is not installed in a normal location, you might need to locally alter $PATH so that we can find it. For example, on my Mac, the path to Postgresql binaries are at "/Library/PostgreSQL/bin" so you can alter the PATH for a single command like so: PATH=Library/PostgreSQL/bin:$PATH [command] Or, if you are using Postgresql a lot, you can edit your ".bashrc" to make the above permanent. NOTE: You might find installing DBD::Pg to be easier if you edit the $PATH before trying to install it. In addition to the Postgresql sandbox, we create several helper scripts "start", "stop" and "use" which can be used to start, stop and open shell level access to you mysql sandbox. "dump" lets you easily access pg_dump and "config" is a Perl library that returns a hashref of the connection info, which is suitable to use in DBIx::Class Schema connect. These helper scripts will be located in a child directory of your "target_dir" (which defaults to "share" under your project root directory). For example: [target_dir]/[schema_class]/bin/[start|stop|use] If your schema class is "MyApp::Schema" you should see helper scripts like /MyApp-Web /lib /MyApp Schema.pm /Schema ... /share /migrations /fixtures /myapp-schema /bin config dump start stop use This give you a system for installing a sandbox locally for development, starting and stopping it for use (for example in a web application like one you might create with Catalyst) and for using it by opening a native "psql" shell (such as if you wish to review the database manually, and run native SQL queries). SEE ALSO DBIx::Class::Migration, DBD::Pg, Test::PostgreSQL.

SLCL Presents Acclaimed Western-Suspense Author Craig Johnson, 6/14
The St. Louis County Library Foundation is pleased to present acclaimed western-suspense author Craig Johnson for a discussion and signing of his latest novel "A Serpent's Tooth" on Friday, June 14, at 7:00 p.m. at Library Headquarters, 1640 S. Lindbergh Blvd.
The program is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase at the event from Barnes & Noble.
The inspiration for A&E's "Longmire" finds himself in the crosshairs in the ninth book of the New York Times bestselling series
The success of Craig Johnson's unique genre-bending Western-Suspense series that began with "The Cold Dish" continues to grow after A&E's hit show "Longmire" introduced new fans to Wyoming sheriff Walt Longmire. Johnson's last book "As the Crow Flies" marked the series' highest debut on the New York Times bestseller list. Now, in his ninth Western mystery, Longmire stares down his most dangerous foes yet.
It's homecoming in Absaroka County, but the football and festivities are interrupted when a homeless boy wanders into town. A Mormon "lost boy," Cord Lynear is searching for his missing mother but clues are scarce. Longmire and his companions, feisty deputy Victoria Moretti and longtime friend Henry Standing Bear, embark on a high plains scavenger hunt in hopes of reuniting mother and son. The trail leads them to an interstate polygamy group that's presiding over a stockpile of weapons and harboring a vicious vendetta.
Craig Johnson lives in Ucross, Wyoming, population 25. He is a recipient of the Wyoming Governor's Fellowship Award for Literature and is an Honorable Colonel of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. His Walt Longmire mystery series has been adapted for television in a joint venture between A&E and Warner Horizon. "Longmire" is directed by Chris Chulack ("Southland," "ER") and stars Robert Taylor ("Matrix," "Vertical Limit") as Sheriff Walt Longmire, Lou Diamond Phillips ("La Bamba," "Young Guns") as Henry Standing Bear and Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica," "24") as Vic Moretti.
Program sites are accessible. Upon two weeks notice, accommodations will be made for persons with disabilities. Contact St. Louis County Library by phone 314-994-3300 or visit http://www.slcl.org.

All the Sex in Savages Is 'Awkward' Sex, Says Taylor Kitsch
Mystifying careerist Taylor Kitsch said that filming sex scenes with his Savages co-star Blake Lively was "very awkward" because he didn't really know her at all, and that "he was just glad it was over with to be honest."
This is like that time Reese Witherspoon said kissing Robert Pattinson (for their movie Water For Elephants) was disgusting. We wish stars would just keep comments like these to themselves and stop ruining that special brand of horny movie magic that makes the cinematic experience what it is.
Said Kitsch:
A lot of sexual improv was going on there...God knows we had two weeks of rehearsal ...and then [we shot the sex scenes] on the day I think I knew Blake three days...four days maybe.
Maybe Blake is the kind of lady who sneaks out of bed in the morning to reapply her face paint. She should be herself.

Three matches into the 2010 campaign, Fire goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra hasn't experienced a dream start to his MLS playing career. Thrust into the starting lineup after veteran Jon Busch was waived five days prior to the season opener, the 24-year-old has been consummate in his professionalism, fully embracing his new role even though the results have yet to come.
On paper it's been two losses, one draw, one point and five goals conceded for the second-year net minder. He's had shaky bits, like his first touch against New York. He's also shown moments of great clarity and athleticism -- see his 37th minute save against of Bobby Convey's effort in Saturday night's 2-1 loss to San Jose.
The controversy that ensued with Busch's exit from the team, mixed with negative results on the field have left some questioning the decision. The Virginia Commonwealth product is adamant that no one is a bigger critic than himself.
"I'm always going to put things on my shoulders – it's just a habit," Dykstra said after Tuesday's training session. "When you lose, you always look at yourself and ask, 'Could I have done better?' I'm harder on myself than I probably need to be."
Though all previous goals against couldn't be blamed on him, Dykstra took some criticism for the first goal conceded in Saturday night's loss.
Don't remember?
Here's the painful recap: Left back Tim Ward played a slow ball back to Dykstra -- with San Jose winger Joey Gjertsen in hot pursuit and seeing that the pass lacked enough pace, Dykstra and C.J. Brown charged the ball from opposite directions, resulting in a collision that saw the ball squirt to Arturo Alvarez. With Dykstra well out of goal and gone to ground, the Salvadoran international had an empty net for target practice, choosing to chip the sprawling keeper to give the Earthquakes a 1-0 lead in the 49th minute.
Fans directed frustration at all Fire players involved:
"Ward should have played a stronger ball," or, "C.J.'s a veteran, he should have blasted it to the suites," or most inevitable, "If the keeper comes out, he has to win the ball."
"A lot of people have talked about that play," responded Dykstra. "They say it was because of bad communication and point fingers all around. At the end of the day, it was a difficult situation to deal with. I tried to make a play and it backfired -- that's part of the position and you learn from it."
Head coach Carlos de los Cobos reinforced the confidence he has in his players following Saturday night's loss.
''Their first goal was a mistake, a very big mistake, but we're starting the season, and I believe in my players. They're working hard,'' said de los Cobos at the post-game press conference.
Dykstra received more confidence and a little advice from his former mentor Busch, who in a unique twist of fate returned to Toyota Park as San Jose's backup keeper, just three weeks after his dismissal.
"Honestly we barely spoke. I know it was probably an emotional time for Jon, but he just shook my hand and told me, 'Keep your head up.'"
Still searching for his first win, his first clean sheet, his first spectacular save -- Dysktra remains positive and sees things shifting for the team.
"I'm not frustrated. I mean it's a new team – it's a different team with a different style of play. I'm a new goalkeeper to C.J. and [Wilman] Conde, so there's a learning process and there has to be a level of patience there. I'm not worried at all. I'm not frustrated. Obviously you want to win every time, but there's a lot that's out of your hands in games and you deal with what you can."
To be sure, the Fire haven't played badly and neither has Dykstra. The consensus has been that the club was dominant in each game, falling victim to defensive mental lapses and inaccurate finishing up top. Their lone point came sandwiched between two one-goal losses – frustrating as that all may be, there are positives to take from each performance.
Given their results and anemic finishing, there may be no better team for the club to come up against than this weekend's opponents, D.C. United.
The capital city club will enter Saturday's match worse off than the Fire -- United have leaked nine goals at the back and scored only twice so far this season, posting a -7 goal differential.
The trip to RFK Stadium, just a half-hour away from Dykstra's hometown in Woodbridge, VA, could be be the young keeper's first career victory. Before he or the team get ahead of themselves, there are very simple things that need to be fixed for the club to gain three points on Saturday.
"We have to keep learning from our mistakes. The goals that we've given up have been because of shape issues and misplayed balls – those little things that can easily be corrected. On the other end we need to take our opportunities better. Like they're trying to bond with Collins [John] I'm trying to do the same with the back line. I think we're doing fine – once we start clicking we'll be alright."
