STOCKTON - City Attorney John Luebberke will conduct a legal review to determine whether Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva violated state laws last week when he distributed a flier that included a photograph of Police Chief Eric Jones, authorities said.
STOCKTON - City Attorney John Luebberke will conduct a legal review to determine whether Stockton Mayor Anthony Silva violated state laws last week when he distributed a flier that included a photograph of Police Chief Eric Jones, authorities said.
The four-page flier is rife with punctuation and spelling errors, but those may be the least of the mayor's concerns after city officials raised legal questions about its contents.
The flier outlines Silva's successes and struggles in his first year as mayor, prominently displays statistics illustrating a dramatic decline in violent crime in 2013 and includes photos of Jones and other uniformed police officers - photos that were used without Jones' permission, according to a police spokesman. The flier also contains a written message from Silva, who referred to his contentious relationship with City Council members and former City Manager Bob Deis, claimed his "reputation has been slandered," and asked citizens to support him "in building a new Stockton."
City Council members Kathy Miller, Elbert Holman and Dyane Burgos Medina believe the photos of police officers could constitute a violation of California Government Code 3206, which states: "No officer or employee of a local agency shall participate in political activities of any kind while in uniform." A second government code, 3302 (a), states: "Except as otherwise provided by law, or whenever on duty or in uniform, no public safety officer shall be prohibited from engaging, or be coerced or required to engage, in political activity."
Luebberke could not be reached Saturday, but City Hall spokeswoman Connie Cochran said Luebberke plans to conduct a legal review of the flier later this week. Last month, Luebberke sent a review to San Joaquin County's civil grand jury outlining an alleged Brown Act violation by Silva, who divulged the name of a city manager candidate without the City Council's authorization.
Silva could not be reached for comment, but N. Allen Sawyer, a political consultant and associate of Silva's, said the flier was not political in nature. Sawyer said Silva is three years away from running for re-election, is not advocating for any political candidate or issue in the flier, and paid for the flier himself, although that isn't noted in the flier.
"I'm familiar with Government Code 3206 and it's not even a close call," Sawyer said. "There's no campaign, no election and he's not asking anyone to vote a certain way. This is just an informational flier giving an update after the mayor's first year in office. It's done all the time."
Miller disputed Sawyer's assessment, saying the language used in the flier is, in fact, political. In November, Silva urged voters to "elect fresh faces on the City Council that promise to work with me."
"If it's not political, then what is it?" she said. "I think the wording is clearly political. He's asking people to support him. He's soliciting support. At the very least, it's creating the perception that it's political."
Holman echoed Miller's remarks.
"In my opinion, it could be construed as being political," he said. "Why else would you send it out? With all the negative publicity that's been coming out about (Silva) recently, this looks like damage control, which is in itself political."
Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Police Department, said the photos of Jones and other police officers were used without Jones' knowledge or permission.
"We did not and would not give permission for a photograph of a uniformed employee to be taken or used for the purpose of political activity because of department policy, city policy and California Government Code," he said.
"Our goal is to maintain the integrity of the men and women of the Stockton Police Department, and we would not want the public to perceive that the Police Department is endorsing one elected official over another. We must remain unbiased in the performance of our official duties. A legal review will be done by the city attorney as is standard for points of legal clarification."
Sawyer said Mayor Silva did not need Jones' permission to use the photos and did not intend to create "the impression that the chief was endorsing anything."
Burgos Medina said she believes Silva's flier suggests Jones supports the mayor and his initiatives, adding that it is Jones, not Silva, who deserves credit for reducing homicides by more than 50 percent.
"Chief Jones has everything to do with all the changes that have been made - all the reductions in crime - because of the amazing work he and our police department have done, and all the changes he's implemented," Burgos Medina said. "Unfortunately, this (flier) undermines Chief Jones' ability to do his job by adding that additional layer of politics that doesn't belong in the police force. The mayor's term has been problematic, and you just don't want that interfering with what Chief Jones is trying to do."

Can you briefly describe what you do?
I make paintings.
What drives you to make work?
The feeling that I haven't done enough! I'm still a believer in paint and excited by its possibilities.
Can you tell me something of your day-to-day working practices?
I'm in the studio from mid-day till 11.30pm. In one corner of my studio I have a stack of paintings which are finished and have been photographed and the paintings I'm working on or not sure about are lined up along two walls. I spend a lot of time looking at them/not looking at them, working out if they're even interesting. They tend to have several layers of paint on them, I never scrape anything off, I always keep adding more.
I try to create paintings with no references to the 'real' world so I'm not sure they are exactly abstract, more non-objective. I don't keep a sketch book so all my working out and playing around is done on the canvas. The trick is to not get attached to any of the paintings until they feel right, then I stop. This doesn't necessarily mean it's a keeper, it might be kicking around the studio for months and one day I'll decide it's crap and add something more to it or obliterate it completely.
How long have you been working in that way?
My studio practice is still evolving but has been similar to this since I graduated from Northumbria University in 2009. I've always had a tendency to play around with paint, just to see what happens.
Which artists have had the greatest affect on your work?
Dana Schutz, Richard Aldrich, Joe Bradley, Mary Heilmann, Philip Guston, Georg Baselitz, Martin Kippenberger, Thomas Houseago, Aaron Curry, Chris Martin, Rachel Harrison, Franz West, Blinky Palermo, Vincent Van Gogh, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Edvard Munch, Howard Hodgkin, De Kooning, Gerhard Richter and many more!
What, outside visual art, informs your practice?
Not much outside of art, that's sort of the point, although I was listening to a Paul Buchanan song called 'Wedding Party' recently and was struck by the economy of word. I've been trying to figure out a way of translating that into my practice, being more economical, leaving things unsaid, with paint. It might creep in there soon.
How would you like people to engage with your work?
I don't mind, it's up to them.
Have you seen anything recently that has made an impression?
Paula Rego's drawing 'The Wide Sargasso Sea' at the Laing in Newcastle is pretty sweet.
Do you have anything exciting on the horizon?
Yes, lots of shows coming up and I am part CAVE art fair at the Liverpool Biennial in September. Plus it's always exiting to make new work!

When you take part in a tournament, the first half of winners gain 1 credit. to take part in a tournament, you just have to battle someone at a particular time so its possible you did it by accident. when you rank higher in the tournaments, you gain more clintz, but im not sure about credits.
hope this helps

The Excellence Effect
The Excellence Effect is a new movement launching in October 2010. Our goal is to positively impact 50 million families by 2015 by showing them how they can lead lives of excellence and good character by following the 8 Keys of Excellence.
The 8 Keys of Excellence are character traits "principles to live by" developed by Bobbi DePorter 25 years ago. The 8 Keys are Integrity, Failure Leads to Success, Speak with Good Purpose, This is it (make the most of every moment), Commitment, Ownership, Flexibility and Balance.
The 8 Keys of Excellence have been used by thousands of teachers and have helped hundreds of thousands of school students over the years. Now, Learning Forum International, a non-profit organization, wants to show families how they can benefit from the 8 Keys.
Primary target is parents of kids 5-18 years old in the U.S. and abroad; all socio-economic backgrounds. We also want to appeal to key influencers: politicians, media, and education, corporate, social-change and thought leaders.
We want a logo and wordmark that can work together and stand on their own. The wordmark will contain all three words: The Excellence Effect.
Primary colors are navy blue and metallic gold. The final product can be in just these two colors. At the very least, they should be the dominant colors with possibly another color as an accent.
The design of the logo and wordmark must convey "excellence." They should have an elegant, clean and sophisticated look.
The logo and wordmark will be featured at The Excellence Effect's website and in print, promotional and publicity material.

Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSH, FSHD)
Medical Management
Medical treatments for FSHD are relatively few, and none are specific to the disease. There's no treatment that can halt or reverse the effects of FSHD, but there are treatments and devices to help alleviate many of the symptoms.
Anti-inflammatory drugs known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories, or NSAIDs, are often prescribed to improve comfort and mobility. These are the same drugs taken by many people with arthritis and other inflammatory conditions.
Surgical and mechanical help
Surgical procedures to stabilize the shoulder blades (scapulae) by attaching them to the ribs have helped some people with FSHD.
In this procedure, the scapulae are fixed to the ribs so that they don't move. The patient gains some leverage with the arm on the side that's had the operation, since the scapulae no longer slide around.
Although this type of surgery may actually decrease the arm's range of motion (since the shoulder blade can no longer rotate normally), the ability of the arm to function may be better, since the arm's leverage point is now stable.
It's important to go to a surgeon who fully understands FSHD and has had experience with this exact type of surgery.
Physical therapists often recommend devices such as back supports, corsets, girdles and special bras for people with FSHD. These supports help to compensate for weakening muscles in the upper and lower back.
Lower leg braces, known as ankle-foot orthoses, or AFOs, can compensate for weakening muscles in the lower leg that cause tripping and falling. These may be recommended by the physician or physical therapist and can be purchased as off-the-shelf or custom-made models. Some people find a lightweight, high-top shoe can be as helpful as an AFO in supporting the foot, at least in the early stages of weakness.
Physical therapists advise that those with FSHD shouldn't resist using these types of devices for fear their muscles will get "lazy." A supportive corset or AFO can help with mobility and endurance, they say, and supporting muscle in a normal position can help you use your remaining strength more effectively.
Massage or warm, moist heat (for example, from hot packs you can put in a microwave) are also good for the discomfort associated with FSHD.
Since the precise underlying defect that causes muscle loss in FSHD isn't yet understood, it's hard to make precise recommendations about exercise.
However, physical therapists who have observed people with FSHD for many years say that moderate exercise appears to do no harm and may even be helpful, at least for muscles that haven't severely weakened.
Therapists advise that exercise shouldn't cause muscle cramping, significant muscle pain or extreme fatigue. An exercise program for someone with FSHD should be directed by a professional, such as a physical or occupational therapist, who has experience with neuromuscular disorders. The program should emphasize exercising muscles that are still relatively strong and resting those that have weakened. This can be accomplished with careful positioning and adaptation of standard exercise regimens.
For more on this topic, see Exercising with a Neuromuscular Disease.
There's no specific diet known to help in FSHD or any other muscular dystrophy.
Consult with your MDA clinic doctor about specific dietary recommendations for you and for advice on dietary supplements. Some doctors recommend the dietary supplement creatine for people with muscle disorders, but it should be taken with care and under medical supervision.

Living in Balance was open from May 20, 1995 through June 3, 2013.
The culture and cultural perspectives of four Native American peoples of the Southwest are the focus of this exhibition, which opened 20 May 1995. Specifically, it examines the sacred and cultural connection that the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, and Apache have with their environment. It features an Apache tipi, a Navajo hooghan framework, an illuminated walk-in sky theater, and more than 300 objects from the Museum's extensive archaeological and ethnographic Southwest collections.
As early as the 1890s the Museum was actively acquiring collections made by explorers, travelers, government officials and museum personnel. A few years later more than 3,000 archaeological objects recovered from John Wetherill and other explorers were purchased through funds provided by Phoebe Hearst. In 1901 and 1902, Museum Director Stewart Culin, funded by Philadelphia merchant John Wanamaker, made expeditions to Hopi villages, Zuni Pueblos and other Rio Grand Pueblos to purchase ethnographic material.
An Exhibition with a Native American Perspective
Guest Curator and Research Associate Dr. Dorothy Washburn held extensive consultations with representatives of the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo and Apache peoples in order to develop an exhibition which would present a native peoples' perspective. The exhibition focuses on the distinctive Native American view of knowledge, which restricts expertise and performance of different rituals to those who are initiated and trained, as well as on the highly networked nature of Native American society which functions in balance only if every individual carries out his or her family obligations and ritual responsibilities.
Specific rituals and activities unique to the cultures of the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo and Apache peoples are presented to highlight the philosophical perspective that sees everything in the universe as alive. People, rather than being in a dominant relationship with this universe, are seen as one more part of it; their goal is to live, with the help of rituals, in balance with their environment.
In keeping with this perspective throughout the exhibition, a towering "tipi" houses objects, drawn from a Western Apache girl's puberty feast, that bespeak the importance of life transition stages and community cohesiveness; an octagonal "hooghan" (house) framework encloses objects which relate to the different kinds of knowledge the Navajo believe reside in mountains in the four sacred directions; a complete Hopi bride outfit symbolizes the extensive network of inter-family obligations and responsibilities which have enabled the Hopi to prosper in an arid land; and a scale model of the Zuni kick stick race metaphorically attests to the fundamental importance of rainwater to these agriculturists.
Sun, Land and Sky
One of the most important aspects of Native American life in the American Southwest is the way the Hopi and Zuni agriculturists coordinate their activities with the sun's yearly movements, marking the turning points in their calendars around the summer and winter solstices and the spring and fall equinoxes. The exhibition features a small, walk-in fiber optic computer-driven sky theater with music and narration. In the theater, an animated pathway of the sun's travels in the summer and winter skies illustrates how seasonal changes in the amount of sunshine are directly related to the timing of Native American planting and harvesting schedules. A voiced narration explains how the movements of the planets and constellations, illuminated in a night sky, continue to be used by the Apache and Navajo to schedule nighttime ceremonies.
One food which accompanies every Hopi ceremony, a wafer thin bread called "piiki," is featured prominently in the exhibition. A video detailing the "piiki"-making process looks at the important role the making and giving of this bread occupies in the ceremonial process. Visitors can touch an actual "piiki" stone on which the bread is cooked, experiencing its unique glassy surface.
The Changing Nature of the Landscape
The Hopi and Zuni perspective and the archaeologist's perspective of the Pueblo prehistoric past are juxtaposed. Detailed studies of the changing hydrologic potential of the Colorado Plateau has clarified the growth and movements of these prehistoric cultures. An extensive exhibition of the black-on-white and polychrome wares of the Anasazi and Mogollon peoples who inhabited the area from 200 to 1700 CE provides the introductory backdrop for the presentation of the natives' perspective of their way of life in this changeable land.
Sense and Sensibilities of the Native American Universe
Large-scale color murals of the San Francisco Peaks near Flagstaff, Arizona and other local mountains form a backdrop on the gallery walls, just as these sacred mountain peaks delimit the Native Americans' world and contain the knowledge, shrines and homes of the spirit beings vital to them in the conduct of their daily lives. The exhibition design incorporates images and colors particularly significant to Native Americans' sacred directions. Through touchable objects such as the glass-smooth "piiki" stone and soft buckskin clothing, the Navajo sheep bells and the metal tinklers on Apache dance dresses, visitors can gain a feel for the textures and sounds of daily life. In this way the exhibition directs the visitor's attention to everyday things which carry significance in the lives of Native Americans.
Living in Balance was exhibited in the Ruth and Earl Scott Gallery off the Main Entrance. The exhibition was made possible by a generous gift from Ruth and Earl Scott; by grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities, a federal agency; the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission; and by the support of the Women's Committee of the Penn Museum.

BURBANK, Calif., April 3 (UPI) -- Walt Disney Co. of Burbank, Calif., closed LucasArts videogame studio, which was part of its mega-acquisition of George Lucas empire, a videogame blog said.
About 150 staffers were laid off, Kotaku.com posted Wednesday.
The studio's current projects, "Star Wars: First Assault" and "Star Wars 1313," were canceled, the blog said.
Disney officials indicated the company will still use the LucasArts name to license games, but the studio is history.
"After evaluating our position in the games market, we've decided to shift LucasArts from an internal development to a licensing model, minimizing the company's risk while achieving a broader portfolio of quality Star Wars games," Disney said in a statement. "As a result of this change, we've had layoffs across the organization. We are incredibly appreciative and proud of the talented teams who have been developing our new titles."
LucasArts was part of a $4 billion-plus merger last year when Disney acquired LucasFilm and its sibling company from Lucas.

Enough time for agencies and developers to prepare their modules (called extensions in TyPO3) to run successful in PHP 7
This is real integration of the whole TYPO3 Community and still the TYPO3 Company takes care that the goal and timeframes don't get missed.
Nothing else us wished to have from Odoo S. A. - please help that it will be soon publicized.

A mail from fp in this same thread that you have high jacked
Where is an official statement? where is your resource simply make it not to difficult to find. It would be nice if you could provide the link thanks.
Fir sure this was a decision before the fact that major OS distributions like Ubuntu changed their focus future oriented to Python 3 with just released 16,04.
Therefore ir would be advised to overthing/ rethink the decision to make version 12 a python 3 version and releasing it already in 2 years from now!!!
Not even 10 is out and not sure when it would be out and second question when wil be modules be migrated to such a 10 than 11 and than 12 version.
Review the existing process and customers would know that earliest in 2022 to 2024 they would have a first usable Python version.
I would recommend them to switch to Tryton or another System in that case even I love Odoo a lot. This is suicide and waste of time and resources for all customers who will intend to wait.
Much better would be like Graeme also meanwhile mentionned to make Odoo 10 the python 3 version as Odoo S.a. already stated that most of their modules are already ready and I think the core will be it too.
In parallel extend the support for version 9 at least until 2020 and all old API devs and all 2.7 fans will be having enough time to prepare and test their sites on Python 3 Odoo 10.
All new sites will be for sure Version 9 with new ApI and all modules developed from the point if releasing the first Odoo 10 Python 3 Version running and getting tested on it.
As the last year has shown that only a few modules of OCA seem to be on real use for customers we should no more wait and switch to Python 3 this year with a first dev release of the core.
Very sure Indian and other Asian companies will start developping immediately on Python 3 without wasting any more thoughts on backward compatibility stuff to 2.7. Allready many of them focus on verticallisation packages i.e for schools and universities. and ideal place to recrute new developers which would start with Odoo 10 and in its Python 3 Version.
We are NOT looking for an Eric Caudal statement but for a clear statement of Odoo S.A. which has been released AFTER the fact that one or even the most Server OS provider announced their 100% focus on Python 3.
Please Fabien make an official statement to the timeframe and roadmap and their milestones

Thanks Ermin for your explanations:
So what is the timeframe and the roadmap with milestones for Odoo running Python version 3.
Why do you not answer simple the question which has been pisted in this thread first by Mister Rottermann. Instead it looks like that all those who complain about Python 3 Odoo that they don't want answe to this question.
You are also absolutly right that customers are looking usually for a vertical solution with some often quite specific changes. This is also our experience why we focus in providing easy to handle package solutions which lateron can be also easily be maintained and updated to future versions.
Respect would be at first place to answer simple questions concerning the roadmap and timeframe for an Odoo Version running on Python 3.
Well expell if you like than we need to discuss this matter publicly instead of the mailinglist as at least our customersand As you could read here already also others like to get a clear answer to this important question before they will decide if they invest again or at all in Odoo. No one is interested in a product which gets just deprecated just after you have got it!
Again answer the question to stop that people adk for an answer!
Simply try it!
By the way we run als Servers at Hetzner and all of them run with Postgres and Ubuntu 14.04 and Odoo 9 without any problems. We have people who know to manage a dedicadedserver or cloudserver since 2002 and have a look for what customers we provided that service already often for many years until they were able to manage many things by themselves as we provide training to our customers too. Help to do it myself - Concerning the German translation there is only a problem if you are using the Odoo S.a Version perhaps you should switch to use the one from myodoo.com which is properly translated and gets constantly updated and improved ;-)
By the way an Open Source community needs people like you who are no developers but perhaps can help to sell a product like Odoo and it needs developers who write code others for testing and giving feedback and it needs trainers which train developers and/or customers. You will find a lot of people in that community which won't be able to write a single line of code and you will find some who can write a lot of code which is useless for customers or not userfriendly. For customers important is absutly not the single line but a project manager who fights for their interests and who has great connections and does a pre evaluation if the dev is writing nice or not so nice code ;-)
Our typical customer wants to have a product he can easily learn how to manage things by himselves and/or with professional guidance.
They are NGOs ( in the past years we worked for i. e. Unesco, East West Center and others migrating their sites and doing lots of other stuff for them )
They are usual business customers like one of the bigest dive center providers from Europe. but also lots of smaller businesses which are currently watching what's going on with Odoo and Python 3 before they will make their decision to use Odoo with its websitebuilder for future projects instead to have several applications to do their necessary administrative jobs. Also at least about 400 churches are looking towards the answer to the question - when will be Odoo running on Python3 be available in a dev version so their developers can migrate and develop modules for it. Some Lions and other clubs are also quite interested to get an answer. In most of those churches and Lions Clubs are sitting lots of business people who also would like to get such a combined solution for their other businesses.
Please Fabienne what is the timeframe and when will be a first Odoo core Version on Python 3 be released and under what license will it be released? Thanks - Looking forward for that answer
Right now we only want an answer to the question Mister Rottermann has posted. Thanks for understanding!

1. During evolution of mankind a concept became successful, the concept of "Community". A basic principle of "Community" is to give AND take. Communities need and try to expell members, which do not respect this basic principle in order to be successful. A proper balance of give and take creates respect and respect is necessary in order gain influence in the community. Respect is also owed to the contributors to the community. Open Source is based on and relies on the community principle. I could not find a single line of code provided to the community from Andi, I could not find a single translated word from Andi, the time it needs to write one of his endless posts is sufficient to translate a complete module. I do not remember having Andi seen in Odoo's help forum providing support to others. 2. I'm not a developer, but I do understand that migrations such as Python 3 are necessary, it is a question of priority, timeframe and efforts needed. I'm very sure that everybody in the community is aware of that and the discussion started already long time ago before Andi jumped on the bandwagon. So there is no need to endlessly beat a dead horse. 3. In order to stress his own agenda and priorities, Andi seems to me pretending an image of Odoo customers, which is more than strange to me, atleast I have never found such a customer. According to Andi's posts, the typical Odoo customer: - urgently needs Hetzner Hosting (and therefore can not use Postgres) - is dependent on Python 3 in order to avoid bankruptcy of his business - will depend on any other technical preliminaries, which will come up at any time. My typical customer is looking for an attractive, affordable and usable 360° business vertical solution which helps him improve his business competitiveness. My customer does not ask for Python 3, but he asks for example if it is possible to change side dishes on the fly in the restaurant POS, because this is a necessity for his business. Just my 2cents, but enough said, sorry for this long post.... On 12.05.2016 07:12, robert rottermann wrote:

She discovered that when you set about blessing others, you are the one who is truly blessed. Over the years, we have seen the truth that comes through that statement. We love being a part of everyone's special celebrations and the joy we get to experience is truly rewarding.
Here at Icing On The Top the team is dedicated to loving and serving others...that's how Icing On The Top got it's start and it's at the core of everything we do today!

Steve Jobs was "deeply influenced" by his work and Forbes Magazine called him "the most influential business thinker on earth."
Clayton M. Christensen, Harvard Business School professor and an authority on business innovation and growth, will be in Louisville on Thursday, Jan. 26, to discuss his highly acclaimed article, "How will you measure your life?"
The article, which appeared in Harvard Business Review's July-August 2010 issue, won Christensen his fourth McKinsey Award from Harvard Business Review. The annual McKinsey Awards are judged by an independent panel of business and academic leaders.
"Christensen's piece resonated with our readers in ways that few articles do," said Adi Ignatius, editor-in-chief of Harvard Business Review. "It was honest, moving, and wise — and offered profound lessons for anyone, at any stage of their lives."
The article, derived from a speech Christensen gave to the HBS 2010 graduating class, presents a set of guidelines that have helped him find meaning and happiness in his life.
"We are delighted to bring Dr. Christensen and his message of innovative leadership to our students, faculty and the Louisville business community," said Charlie Moyer, dean of the University of Louisville's College of Business.
A member of the HBS faculty since 1992, Christensen is the bestselling author of five books, including his influential best-selling work "The Innovator's Dilemma" (1997), which, among many other honors, received the Global Business Book Award for the best business book of the year. "The Innovator's Solution" and "Seeing What's Next" followed in 2003 and 2004.
In more recent years, Christensen has turned his focus toward social issues such as education and health care. "Disrupting Class" (2008) looks at the root causes of why schools struggle and offers solutions, while "The Innovator's Prescription" (2009) examines how to fix our health care system.
Hosted by the UofL College of Business, Christensen will speak at 4 p.m. on UofL's Belknap Campus in the Horn Auditorium and again at 7:30 p.m. at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Crestwood, 6401 Westwind Way.
The event is free and open to the public.

From the Field: Heading Out to Rusinga Island main content.
by AMNH on
Blogging from west Kenya, William Harcourt-Smith, a research associate in the Division of Paleontology, is directing a 20-million-year-old paleontological site on two islands in Lake Victoria. One of these islands, Rusinga, is best known as the site of the discovery of the first fossils of Proconsul, an early ape. Harcourt-Smith's multidisciplinary team includes physical anthropologists and geologists, and in addition to collecting fossils, researchers are trying to learn more about the evolutionary events and environmental conditions that may have influenced the emergence of Proconsul and other early ape lineages.
Nairobi, Kenya, June 18, 2011
I've been in Kenya about a week and things are finally coming together. As anyone who works in the expeditionary world will tell you, it's always a bit chaotic before you leave, and the run-up can sometimes feel a bit like preparing for a military campaign. There are permits to obtain, supplies to procure, vehicles to hire, and a myriad of other little things to get ready. And, of course, as paleontologists there are all sorts of strange extras that you have to hunt down: plaster and bandages to package fossils, specimen bags, rock hammers, and the like.
Perhaps most importantly, everyone on our team is here. We have people from all over the world, from senior scientists to undergraduates coming on their first expedition. Tomorrow we'll drive west from Nairobi, down the giant eastern escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, and then up the other side until we reach Lake Victoria. These days the roads are pretty good, and it should take about eight hours or so.
Our destination is called Rusinga Island. It sits in the Kenyan waters of the lake, and is one of the most important fossil sites in Africa. For one, the island produces an incredibly rich and diverse array of fossil organisms, including delicate plant and seed remains, tiny rodents and lizards, giant ancestors of today's elephants and rhinos, and even exquisitely preserved fossil insects.
Derek Nelson (L) and Brian Shearer (R), two students who work at the Museum with Harcourt-Smith, take a break from sorting through equipment for the field. Photo: W. Harcourt-Smith.
It's also where we find some of the very first true apes in the fossil record, which is one of the reasons I'm there. These animals are named Proconsul (meaning "before Consul," which was a popular name for circus chimpanzees in the 1920s) and lived at the beginning of the Miocene Era, about 20–18 million years ago. Proconsul sits at the very base of the evolutionary tree that includes all living apes (humans included). If you want to understand why the various apes that lived today evolved in the way that they did, one thing you have to do is go right back to the beginning.
The great thing about Rusinga is that the fossil richness and species diversity also allows us an unparalleled snapshot into what the ancient environment would have been like back then, which is hugely helpful in shedding light on the biology of Proconsul, why it evolved, and what might have happened to it.
That's it for now. I have to catch some sleep as it's a long drive tomorrow…….

Lawrence Okoye has enjoyed his first taste of life as an NFL player after coming through organised team activities with the San Francisco 49ers.
The British record discus thrower is now set for the team training camp as pre-season nears. The Super Bowl runners-up have four pre-season games before the season kicks off in September.
Okoye is hoping to make the 53-man roster for the 2013-14 campaign, although he may settle for a place on the practice squad.
But the 21-year-old has loved every minute of the experience so far, and was full of praise for the 49ers organisation.
"So far, so good," Okoye told the Daily Mail. "The 49ers have really got behind me, from the young and inexperienced right up to their well-known, established names, and they have given me great confidence to believe I can go all the way."
All the way for Okoye means a spot on an NFL roster - a heady aim for someone without a down of American Football experience.
But scouts loved his physical tools - his quickness, power and size makes him the ideal defensive end.
Later this month training camp begins, with the rookies who've been at the practice facility for the past few weeks joined by the veterans and starting players.
Rookies - first year players like Okoye - start training camp on July 21 at the Marie P DeBartolo Sports Center, with the veterans joining five days later on July 26.
The 49ers play four pre-season games through the month of August - beginning with the Denver Broncos on August 8th at Candlestick Park - and Okoye hopes to be involved.
"The good thing about the 49ers is that they don't have a reserve team, or a junior or B team,' Okoye explained.
"It's just the 49ers squad. I'm really excited about training camp and also the pre-season games.
"I'm told I should be featuring in most if not all of them and if I do enough in them then I'm straight into the full NFL season.
"There's a long way to go and a lot of hard work to come but I'm feeling good, it's going well and it's very feasible that I could be running out for the 49ers in the NFL by the autumn."

The rumor is true.
I got married on May 1st. Wedded, actually. Texas doesn't yet allow same-sex couples to be married, but it won't be too long before that changes, I think.
I married my partner of almost 12 years, Elton. We are lucky to be together as we complement each-other well. I'm the practical techie guy. He has more of a people person with a big heart. He's a believer, so we've had to work through some tension with my being such an atheist advocate. We are doing well, though, otherwise we wouldn't be making a lifetime commitment.
We had a grand (mostly secular) wedding ceremony with vows, exchanging of rings, and an old African tradition of jumping the broom. We have so many friends that we had to make very painful cuts to the invitee list, so only a few AE and ACA folks were invited. I apologize to anyone that feels slighted. If I could, I would have invited the whole gang. Tracie Harris was one of my grooms maids and she looked stunning. More than a dozen people have told me it was the most beautiful wedding they've seen. Elton organized most of it, so it has been a real labor of love.
We did not have a show last weekend because I had a critical number of people at my wedding. Thank you for sharing them with me.
Some pictures have been posted on Facebook and we have received an amazing number of well-wishes. It's humbling and very flattering to have so many people cheer us on as a couple. The gang of us that put on The Atheist Experience are very fortunate to have such loyal and devoted fans. Thank YOU!
I haven't been particularly open about being gay or opening up my personal life on the show. It's not that I'm closeted or anything. I used to run a gay and lesbian student group back in the '80s. I'm so "out", I don't even think about it anymore. I don't bring it up on the show because so much of it isn't relevant to the content of the show. It can too easily be a distraction. With the wedding, it's out in the open for all our fans. Let's keep the show focused on atheism, though.
When things quiet down a little bit and the red lights stop going off every time I make a credit card purchase, we'll take a vacation/honeymoon to Massachusetts and get legally married there. The marriage won't be recognized in Texas until the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) falls. It's just a matter of time, though, as challenges have already been made at the federal level.
Again, thanks for the warm wishes. Please don't send gifts. Donations to the ACA would be very welcome, however, but don't feel obliged.
I'm just happy to have so much support and love in my life.

General Atomics announced Wednesday it has received an initial contract for systems to launch and recover aircraft for CVN 79, the aircraft carrier to be named for John F. Kennedy.
Kennedy will be the second Gerald R. Ford-class carrier to be built at Newport News Shipbuilding.
Although the Navy won't take delivery of the ship until 2023, major components of Kennedy are already taking shape at the shipyard.
The contract award from Naval Air Systems Command is for the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) that replaces the steam-powered catapults on the current Nimitz-class carriers. It also covers work on the Advanced Arresting Gear (AAG) used to catch...

Actress Jennie Garth turned runway model on Wednesday as she hit the catwalk for a surprise appearance during New York Fashion Week.
The former "Beverly Hills, 90210″ star stepped into the spotlight to close designer Aerin O'Connell's Intrepid by AOC show at Pier 59 Studios, wearing a short grey and white striped dress, but she admits the experience was a nerve-wracking one.
After the show, she told UsMagazine.com, "(It felt) totally foreign, not my world. I felt nervous for the designer of this dress, I wanted to do well for her and have success for the line. I just met her today and she's a really nice lady and I want her to do well."
Garth has previously walked the runway in 2008 as part of The Heart Truth Red Dress fashion show, which raises awareness of heart disease in women and brings together a host of female celebrities.
The actress wasn't the only star to make an unexpected appearance as a catwalk model during New York Fashion Week – singer Rita Ora and actress Kerry Washington have also strutted their stuff in the past few days.

PowerPoint 2010 is the latest iteration of Microsoft's presentation tool, an interesting upgrade that includes several interesting new features.
It's now much easier to embed videos in your presentations, for instance, either local files or from sites like YouTube - and that's just the start. The program also has many editing options available. You're able to correct brightness, contrast, colour issues and more, apply borders, add shadows, perform 3D rotations and more.
If you're happy with 2D images then you may appreciate the new screen capture tool, or the background removal option, that automatically removes unwanted portions of a picture. Animation options are clearer, and there are now more slide transitions than ever, all the splits, cuts, fades, slides, wipes and dissolves that you're likely to need.
A new Sections option helps to organise your slides into sections, perhaps useful in a lengthy presentation.
Tools from other Office components have made their way into PowerPoint, so for example Word and Excel's Equation Editor now provides an easy way to insert mathematical equations into your PowerPoint presentations, too.
A range of usability improvements include a clearer, simpler Ribbon, which is now also customisable.
And if you're tired of wondering whether a recipient will be able to view your presentation, then PowerPoint 2010 offers a new and very simple solution. As well as converting your work into a PDF or XPS document, the program can now save it as a video in just a few clicks.
Please note, the download link will take you to the Microsoft Office Online site. Click the "TRY IT FREE" link, create an account if you don't have one already, and you'll be given the download link and product key necessary to activate the trial software.
And don't worry, you can install and run PowerPoint 2010 alongside previous versions without their being affected. Although if you want to protect yourself further then you could always install it into something other than the default \Program Files\Microsoft Office folder. Launch the Setup program and choose a Custom installation for the options you need.
PowerPoint 2010 has a range of useful improvements, but the highlights are the new video and image capture and editing features. If you'll make use of these then the program looks like a very worthy upgrade

U.S. wholesale inventories rose in March, fueled by increased stocks of cars and machinery which have provided support for economic growth early in the year, but wholesale sales posted the biggest fall in four years.
The Commerce Department said on Thursday wholesale inventories rose 0.4 percent, just above the median forecast in a Reuters poll for a 0.3 percent gain.
(Click here to track the U.S. stock market reaction to this economic release.)
The increase in inventories could reinforce the view that the pace of economic growth picked up in the first three months of the year, bolstered by businesses restocking their shelves.
In March, inventories of cars rose 1.2 percent, as did stocks of machinery.
Sales by wholesalers, however, unexpectedly fell in March, down 1.6 percent. It was the biggest drop in four years and confounded economists' expectations for a 0.1 percent increase.

Manuscripts, Archives, and Special Collections (MASC)
Woolf Library
Among other historical treasures, MASC is proud to be the home of the personal library of Leonard and Virginia Woolf. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) was one of the major literary figures of the twentieth century and author of numerous collections of letters, journals, and short stories.
Contained in the Woolf Library are over 150 volumes bound or, as often was the case, rebound by Virginia Woolf. A quick examination of the bindings in this online exhibit will reveal that Virginia Woolf probably regarded her binding efforts (in most cases) as temporary steps taken for maintaining the integrity of her books, rather than as examples of fine craftsmanship. The bindings do, however, provide a valuable insight into the author's personal tastes and literary interests.
MASC collections are especially rich in documents and photographs relating to the history, exploration, settlement, and development of the Palouse Country, the Inland Empire, the Columbia Basin, Washington Territory, and the Pacific Northwest.
Queries about donating special gifts to MASC should be made to Trevor Bond at 509.335.6693 or email@example.com.

Project Information
NOTE: All new material for this project will be posted on the new version of my site. Click here for Part 1...
During the Second World War, the five ships of the King George V-class were the most modern battleships in commission with the Royal Navy, and all gave invaluable service for the war effort. Built to the Washington Treaty of 1922 which, arguably, was a pointless decision, given that other signatory nations were not adhering to it (Japan, Germany and Italy), the King George V-class had a standard displacement of 35,000 tons, a waterline length of some seven-hundred feet, and a maximum speed of 28.5 knots. They carried ten fourteen-inch guns, mounted in two quadruple and one double turret - a unique arrangement of guns for any battleship, and the class's most distinguishing feature - as their main armament. These turrets were a cause for much vexation, however, as frequently during use the complex safety interlock mechanisms would cause the guns to jam.
The five ships of the class, His Majesty's Ships King George V, Prince of Wales, Duke of York, Anson and Howe, all saw active service during the war, with Anson being the only ship not to fire her guns in anger at the enemy. HMS King George V and HMS Prince of Wales were famously involved in the Battle of Denmark Strait and subsequent hunt for the Bismarck in 1941. Prince of Wales was in company with HMS Hood, when they sighted Bismarck and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen early on the morning of 24th May. The ensuing battle saw HMS Hood explode, and Prince of Wales damaged. One of Prince of Wales' shots ruptured two of Bismarck's forward oil tanks, cut their links to the boilers, and caused the ship to take aboard some 2,000 tons of seawater, compelling Admiral LĂĽtjens to head to France for repairs. A second encounter later that day saw Prince of Wales fire several salvos at Bismarck, to no effect. Suffering damage herself, Prince of Wales was forced to break off at this stage. The ship would see no further involvement in this incident, and would famously be sunk by Japanese aircraft, along with the battlecruiser Repulse in the South China Sea later that year.
HMS King George V, along with the battleship HMS Rodney and numerous other ships, engaged Bismarck on 27th May. Rodney, with her sixteen-inch guns, opened fire first, at 08h47, with King George V joining the battle less than a minute later. By 10h15, Bismarck had been reduced to a blazing wreck, and less than half an hour later, she had disappeared beneath the waves. Rodney had gained the distinction of being the only battleship to ever torpedo another. Both King George V and Duke of York were present at Sagami Bay, with the rest of the British Pacific Fleet, for the Japanese surrender ceremony.
The decision was taken to break up the four surviving ships in 1957.
This project, resurrect towards the end of 2015, aims to reproduce as accurately as possible King George V as she appeared during the time of the engagement with Bismarck, as well as potentially modifying her to her end of war condition. Additionally, the necessary alterations will be made to reproduce Prince of Wales at the time of her sinking in December 1941, just days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. And finally, the extensive alterations will be made to portray Duke of York as she appeared at the surrender of Japan in 1945.

This is just a fantastic site. I am in the planning stages of scratchbuilding a 1/128 scale KGV and these 3D images will be so so helpful for interpreting 2D plans.
I have just finished a 1/64 scale Agamemnon - pity I didn't find your site before I started!!
Absolutely great thanks. RA

#2 Simon Fowler says: 12h12:06
This is an absolutely /gorgeous/ model. The only thing that's off is the deck - RN battleships of the era had teak decking (aside from the Nelsons, which used pine in order to save a smidgin of weight).
If it's done to the same standards as on the Hood (for which I have documentation) then the planks are 9 inches wide, and (I think) 45 inches long. No idea how much of the deck would be planked on the KGVs, though . . .
Jan 1 2007
#3 Paul says: 12h23:51
All of the weather deck is planked - I just haven't got around to texturing this one yet.
Jan 2 2007
#4 Simon Fowler says: 05h46:46
It's hard to tell that it's not textured - the detail is so complete, and the grey is so close to the paint I expected . . .
I repeat: an absolutely /gorgeous/ model.
Jan 4 2007
#5 Paul says: 22h55:04
Thanks! Just so you know, I am planning on finally getting started on the texturing for this model as soon as I've finished work on Mir, which I am currently building. It's about time I finished this ship off...

#6 Will Harris says: 06h31:20
Having built a scratch model (144:1 scale) of the HMS KGV, I can say you did an excelent job. The plans I have call for the Armour belt to cover all three main turrents, but you may have other information than I had.
Great Job.
Jan 27 2007
#7 Paul says: 16h28:50
Well as I have it, the belt does cover the three main turrets. It extends from a little forward of turret 'A's barbette, to a little astern of turret 'Y's barbette. There would have been no purpose in extending it beyond those points, really.

#8 Bob Iley says: 17h12:37
Mine is more a history point. My father was on the KGV during the hunt for the Bismark. He has the fuse from the first shot that was fired at Bismark from the A turret (this cost him a months ration of rum) I still have it in my possession. He also had the ships crest which he made (and it hung in the PO's ward room until he was transfered ashore shortly after the KGV returned to her base (which I think was Scapa Flow). I have photos of both items if anyone is interested

as the two ships scored on her.
"However",(Better to say "moreover")
one of PoW's shots ruptured two of Bismarck's forward oil tanks,
Like steam engines they fascinate us. I think they seem to represent pride and the warrior spirit with less of the moral ambigutiy of subarines or the soulessness of aircraft carriers.

Beautifully done. I wish I'd had this level of detail available to me when I made a working model of this ship back in the 70's.
I might incorporate some of features shown here yet, as I still have the model (combination of a hardwood hull with a plastic/balsawood/cardboard superstructure).
Thank you mr.Dobson

#21 Artem Domnin says: 12h14:21
Very well! Are you going to do it in camouflage from different times? I think, you must make more detailed, because it is one of the few famous 2world war-ships in your country...
Oct 28 2008
#22 Paul says: 18h57:56
When I eventually get around to doing the textures (er... 2 years and counting so far!) then she'll be painted up in the scheme she wore during the engagement with Bismack - which was I think one of the Admiralty Standard schemes - though I haven't researched that fully yet.
(and there were many famous WWII ships from our country :p)

Drawn by the need for detail clarification during a KGV kit(s) build, I happened on this site and all I can say in response is this - 'I am literally blown away in admiration'.
If and when I finish my project, I would like to credit this site and your work. I just hope you have many more years, nay decades, left and your interest doesn't wane too much! All the best...

Looking through some of our family history we found a letter and article regarding a seaman who we think could be Charles W Blandford. All we have is "Wiggy" (nickname) Blandford and his family was from Hempsted, Gloucester. Was this ship ever posted to the area of Ocean Springs, Pascagoula, or Biloxi , Mississippi in or about 1940 to 1942?
Thank you in advance for any reply. John Newland
Dec 8 2011
#28 Adrian Stowers says: 06h30:11
To John Newland
How unusual my fathers nickname in the Royal Navy was also \"WIGGY\" He served for many years post-war in the Submarine service out of HMS Dolphin and Faslane in Scotland, he served on Finwhale, Tabard and Grampus also about 2 years (I think) prior to the subs on HMS Vanguard and the Cruiser Newfoundland. Active service included Malaya, Indonesia, Cyprus and the Suez. He retired after 13 years service in 1964 and emigrated to NZ in 1965 where he still lives. Isnt it a small world Cheers Adrian

Photographer Carolyn Sherer looks at her group of photographs of lesbian families on Thursday, March 29, 2012 at the Civil Rights Institute in Birmingham, Ala.,Thursday, March 29, 2012. The photographs will be displayed thru June. Sherer says she hopes the photographs start a conversation about equality for everyone. (AP Photo/Dave Martin)
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Founded to teach about human rights and the fight for equality during the days of racial segregation, the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute is introducing a new topic: Lesbian awareness in the South.
The museum opens a new exhibit Friday night featuring photographs of lesbian couples and families living in the Deep South. Some women are depicted arm-in-arm or embracing with their faces fully visible. Others who weren't comfortable being identified publicly are pictured with their backs to the camera. Some photos include the women's children.
The 40 images are stark and plain. Shot against a white background, there's nothing but the women and their kids to draw viewers' eyes.
Two women are shown in military uniforms with their faces to the side; two female ministers were photographed in clerical garb. The women are young and old; While one couple is kissing there's nothing sexual about the photos, and everyone is fully clothed.
Organizers say the exhibition is meant to encourage civil dialogue about inclusion and equality in Birmingham, once a flashpoint of conflict and violence in the civil rights movement. The museum is down the street from the spot where firefighters used water hoses to douse young civil rights demonstrators in 1963.
While lesbians are the focus of the exhibit, titled "Living in Limbo: Lesbian Families in the Deep South," professional photographer Carolyn Sherer said her work also is meant to encourage greater inclusion for gay men, bisexuals and people who are transgendered.
"We're hoping to start a conversation about equality for everyone," said Sherer. She has never before acknowledged her homosexuality publicly, but the exhibit includes a photo of her and her partner.
Alabama is a deeply conservative state, and Sherer expects some "push back" once people begin filtering through the exhibit, located beside galleries that document the struggle for civil rights in the 1950s and '60s. School groups tour the institute almost daily.
The art exhibition, which runs through June 11, is the first at the 20-year-old Civil Rights Institute to feature homosexuals. The longtime president of the museum, Lawrence J Pijeaux Jr., said Thursday he has received more than 125 emails in support of the exhibit and just one complaint.
"I've been pleasantly surprised with the reaction," said Pijeaux. As he spoke, a museum director hung the final portraits ahead of the opening.
Sherer, who grew up in Birmingham, said she was inspired to do something to encourage greater understanding and acceptance of lesbians after a friend died. The woman's female partner met resistance from the family when she tried to get clothes and other items from the home the couple had shared, Sherer said.
"That galvanized my resolve to go ahead and address my own identity as a lesbian," she said. "This is really my coming out story."
Armed with an idea and a camera, Sherer said she approached friends in the lesbian community and asked them to let her take family portraits for display at the museum.
"Most of my friends would not do this even with their backs to the camera," she said.
But a few did agree, and word of the project spread along with some of Sherer's initial photos: Soon, the dam broke and women agreed to be photographed. Anna Koopman said she and her partner, Hanne Harbison, attended a photo session with their 9-month-old son Amon after getting a couple emails about the project.
Koopman said she and Harbison had to overcome some initial doubts about being photographed as a family, but she is glad they did.
"It felt really monumental. It felt really courageous on the part of the artist, and it felt really great for us to stand up and be seen as part of this," said Koopman. "Who we are is love and commitment and caring, and we were very excited to be counted in that regard."
While the downtown institute is best known for its focus on civil rights, Pijeaux said the exhibit fits its overall theme of promoting human rights.
"I think it's important to note that we don't take sides on issues. Our goal is to bring people together to talk about issues so they can leave with some common ground as we all wrestle with many of the problems we have in the community at large," he said. "This exhibition lends itself to that end."

BRISTOL — Around 80 Bristol Elementary School third- and fourth-grade students hiked three miles and raised around $600 to support the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger's 14th annual Hike for Hunger last Thursday.
The students began their hour-and-a-half hike downtown and walked up to Mount Abraham Union High School and back through the neighborhoods to the school, accompanied by their teachers and several parents.
"We went right through town," third-grade teacher David Bouchard said. "We got a really good response."

Well, I Know Ernst Haas was from Austria, I was just responding to a question of who (photographer) inspired me, never said he was American.
... beer is 99 times more popular than Ansel..
What both Ansel and Edward Weston did was break away from the pictorialists and make "straight" photographs that were tack sharp and specific.Neither of them did anything really new. They just did things better.Henri, on the other hand, grabbed the smallest camera around and began shooting people unposed.
Somebody somewhere (and some time ago for most of us) some single photographer inspired you to either pick up a camera or learn to use the one you had.Who was that photographer?

Here is perhaps the most useful of the three, fit_split_on_gaps, which finds gaps of some specified minimum duration (default 8 hours, or otherwise specified with the -tgap option) and splits the FIT data into multiple sub-files at any gaps found which meet or exceed this threshold.
This and the other codes can be found here, on Google Docs.
It's fairly common in my experience to forget to "reset" my Garmin between activities, despite having set it to warn me at the start of a ride if I have not. GoldenCheetah, for example, contains some nice code to deal with this problem, allowing rides to be split at selected gaps. However, since I've not been using a power meter since last summer, I've been using Strava a lot more than GoldenCheetah. And Strava lacks and ride-splitting capability.
Enter fit_split_on_gaps. Its default behavior is to take each FIT file and, if it finds any gaps between meaningful data (ignoring the "power down" and "power up" records which sometime pollute idle periods), it partitions the original file into sub-files, naming each according to the Garmin convention of "yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss" with a "_split.fit" suffix (although the suffix can be changed) in the same directory. Alternately the files can be written to a separate directory with or without (default) a suffix.
There's a few options. The most important is "-h" which prints help. I won't try and describe the other options, as the code may still be modified and these may change. However, so far there's two primary modes:
- To take one or more input file, and produce output files (by default only if gaps are found) of individual segments.
- To write one file, or standard input, to standard output, retaining only one segment, and discarding the others
The project took longer than I expected, and honestly I wonder how robust it is. Presently I assume every record without a time stamp is a "definition" and should be included in each split file. So these are always written. Records with time stamps are included in a given file only if the record falls between the gaps which delimit the segment. It's assumed the records are in chronological order, so if gaps are found, everything in between is written to the same file (assuming it's not discarded as a "fragment").
Thanks again to Kiyokazu Suto for doing such nice work on Garmin::FIT.
