Record low lake levels spark dredging debate
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been recording water levels for almost 100 years. In January, the levels in the Lake Michigan and Huron system dipped to the lowest levels ever recorded.
That’s causing problems for commercial shipping and recreational boaters.
Peter Payette has been covering this story for Interlochen Public Radio and I spoke with him for today's Environment Report.
Payette said the issue that is front and center is the need for more dredging in the smaller harbors and marinas. He says they have not been getting help from the federal government - help that used to be there.
"Traditionally, it’s been the federal government through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that has dredged these channels to keep them open, and that has not been happening, and so now with the lake levels lower that problem is really being exacerbated," said Payette.
Payette says coastal communities have been scraping together what money they can to do their own dredging. The harbor in Leland, Michigan (home of the historic 'Fishtown') spent more than $100,000 to dredge the channel in and out of the harbor.
"But that wasn’t enough to pay to dredge the mouth where sand builds up out in the open water. You need bigger equipment there, and it’s a little dicier to do that kind of work. So, there was what they call a 'speed bump' on the way in," said Payette.
On a couple of occasions, the Mishe-Mokwa, the boat operated by the Manitou Island Transit Company, got stuck.
With all the harbors that need dredging, Payette explains, there’s been quite a bit of debate about how to pay for this.
The governor recently declared that something needed to be done.
Some lawmakers came forward and proposed legislation to allow the Natural Resources Trust Fund to be tapped for this purpose.
Payette says the trust fund is a pool of money generated from oil and gas revenues in Michigan, and it’s mainly used for land preservation. He says voters objected to how the trust fund was used in the past, so its uses are now regulated by the state Constitution.
"So, it’s kind of a political hot potato, but if you talk to conservationists, they’ll point out that the trust fund is a unique fund, and that those dollars, when you sell oil and gas rights and take that money, you only get to sell the oil and gas once so it’s a one-time thing, and that the money should be used for something special," said Payette.
Tom Bailey of the Little Traverse Conservancy said because the money comes from non-renewable reources "it should be used for capital improvements and lasting recreational land and improvements that would benefit the people of the state of Michigan for the long term."
Governor Snyder has his own idea.
He’s expected this week to ask the State Waterways Commission to allow some funds the commission controls to be used for dredging.

Police call boy's death suspicious
Updated 10:32 pm, Thursday, December 27, 2012
Police are investigating the death Thursday of a 5-year-old boy as a possible homicide after finding suspicious injuries on his body.
Detectives were talking to two adults that were in the house in the 3900 block of Gayle Street when paramedics were called about 1:45 p.m. because the boy wasn't breathing, police spokesman Sgt. Javier Salazar said.
“There were very suspicious injuries in various stages of healing,” Salazar said, adding the boy was “very thin.”
He died at the scene. His name hasn't been released.
Salazar didn't have information available on the adults being questioned and their relationship to the child.

No one was arrested in the case as of 5 p.m. and Salazar wasn't yet saying the case was definitely a homicide.
Police said there were two other children in the house when EMS arrived. Their ages and relationship to the dead boy wasn't immediately known.
The activity in the quiet residential area brought out curious neighbors, some of whom said they didn't know the family that lived in the house.
Information on whether police or Child Protective Services had previously dealt with the family of the boy wasn't available.
If the boy's death is ruled a homicide, he will be the fourth child to die this year in incidents believed to be related to family violence, according to Police Department figures.

September 04, 2013 -- Desktop mapping software from GGP Systems has been used by Scotland's West Dunbartonshire Council to inform consultation on its new Local Development Plan. Designed to improve the quality of life for residents by improving access to parks and other municipal green spaces the project had to first assess the quantity and accessibility of existing open space. Using GGP’s GIS the Council first mapped areas of public open space before considering their proximity to other areas and potential barriers to access. The Council also analysed the amount of open space in relation to population data.
“The aim of this project is ultimately to improve the quality of life for West Dunbartonshire Council residents by giving them greater access to quality areas of open space,” commented Craig Valentine, GIS Officer, Planning and Building Standards at West Dunbartonshire Council. “By considering what open space already exists, where it is located and potential barriers to access – such as railway lines and major roads, we can begin to identify how to improve access for residents. In addition by measuring the amount of open space in relation to population figures we can address potential under provision.”
Prior to the release of the consultation Main Issues Report, West Dunbartonshire Council undertook two distinct studies using GGP GIS. The first considered the accessibility of existing open spaces. In order to make this assessment the Council, using land use data from consultants AECOM, mapped all areas of open space larger than 1 hectare. Using GGP GIS a buffer of 300 metres was placed around the defined areas and significant barrier to access – in this case railway lines and the A82 trunk road – were used to dissect the accessibility polygons.
As well as looking at accessibility of open space the Council also needed to consider the quantity of open space. Using the same land use data within GGP GIS the total amount of open space was calculated. This area calculation was considered in relation to population data from the Scottish Government.
“Using data from these two studies we were able to identify which areas had poor access to areas of public open space and also which areas had a significant under provision of open space,” continued Valentine. “This analysis can be used to target investment and improvements in open space ultimately improving the quality of life for residents.”

Our brand new British Towns book group meets on the last Monday of every month. This month we'll be reading The Librarian by Salley Vickers.
Following on from the Scottish Decades Book Group of last year and the Muriel Spark Reading Group in 2018,in 2020we're branching out geographically with the brand new theme ofBritish and Irish towns! This month we'll be reading The Librarian by Salley Vickers. Sylvia Blackwell, a young woman in her twenties, moves to East Mole, a quaint market town in middle England, to start a new job as a children's librarian. But the apparently pleasant town is not all it seems.A work of fiction that also reflects Salley Vickerss own lifelong love of literature,The Librarianbrims with references to favourite novels from childhood onwards (readers will appreciate the accompanying list of all the fiction mentioned in the book).Carrying echoes of Penelope Fitzgerlands The Bookshop and Muriel Spark'sThe Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, its a book about love, education and the relationship between an individual and a community. Most of all, however, it is a book about the ways in which reading can shape and foster a life.

WilmaScope is a Java3D application that creates real-time 3D animations of dynamic graph (network) structures. It comes with a number of layout algorithm plugins, and supports the easy creation of plugins for new layout algorithms. 3D geometries for graph element glyphs and algorithms for graph generation and modification are loaded dynamically as plugins, providing an extremely flexible platform for all manner of graph visualisation applications. The system has been applied with considerable success to a number of graph visualisation problems.
|Tags||multimedia Graphics 3D Modeling Viewers Scientific/Engineering Visualization|
|Operating Systems||OS Independent|
No changes have been submitted for this release.
Release Notes: UML node and edge objects added, planar force added, box and planar clusters added, nodes can now be fixed in space and dragged around, certain types of clusters such as planar clusters are able to spin and rotate, and a lot of code changed in Cluster class meaning that deeply nested graphs should be a bit more reliable.
Release Notes: Textual data may be added to nodes at run-time, and is available for viewing and editing by right clicking on nodes and selecting "Details...". HTML embedded in the nodes will be rendered, and links will be clickable. More realistic friction and inertia model. Funky new lighting scheme added (you can change the lighting by editing the WILMA_CONSTANTS.properties file).
Release Notes: The program was completely redesigned such that the underlying graph model is independant of the layout engine and the 3D views. New features include a revamped GUI, the ability to load and save graphs to an XML file format, 3D View plugin components for representing graph elements, precise geometry-based mouse picking, collapsible clusters, and more.
Release Notes: This is a new binary release for running the Wilma graph engine as a CORBA service. It includes a sample client. This release also allows for callbacks from the server when the graph settles or a node is selected by the mouse. In this way Wilma could easily be used as a 3D interactive browser front end for any system where an ORB is available.

I’ll bet if 100 people were queried, at least 75% of them would claim that someday they plan to write a book, most likely a memoir. The remaining 25% likely would admit, humbly, that though they may never get around to it, and the world will be the lesser for it, deprived of reading about their fascinating lives, they could if they wanted to. The thousands of hours required to write, edit and format a book for publication is never considered. Yet a frightening number of us do spend the time and energy, and a zillion books DO get published every year. Most of them are available on Amazon where they are buried as deep as a sticker in a cow plop among a million other Amazon books. Occasionally, one actually sells!
Now, instead of becoming a writer, where was I when someone got the bright idea of creating a website where anybody could sell his book, and the website would earn more on the sale of the book than the publisher and the author combined. What a concept! I was probably standing behind the same door when someone said, ‘Do you want to invest in this driving-sleeping thingy we’re calling Winnebago?
Now, I’ve become one of those people who decided there was a book in me that the world would be the lesser for, did they not delve into its pages. After about a skillion hours of writing, rewriting, editing, mentoring, and more rewriting, my novel was finally completed, formatted, published and made available for sale to the millions of folks clamoring to be amused, entertained, charmed and delighted by my scintillating characters. I called this cozy mystery-romance Black Cat’s Legacy. In this yet to become a New York Times Best Seller, there is even a nonplused cat who knows where the bodies are buried. He wants desperately to share his knowledge with the inferior humans who are either too busy running afoul of the antagonist, or preoccupied with trying to solve a 25 year old murder without sullying anyone’s good name…good luck with that… Well, it’s quite a ride involving jealousy, greed, unrequited love, a smattering of downright stinkerisms and a cat that is appalled that these no-good-niks can’t understand a clue when he puts it right under their inferior noses. And yes, it’s available on Amazon in e-book for only $3.99. http://tinyurl.com/lrvevgm
So, why do I write when the hours are long, the glory is nonexistent and the financial rewards are few and far between?
I guess I write, because these characters in me, are screaming to get out and even if I don’t have a Best-Seller, many of those good folks who have read Black Cat’s Legacy come back and tell me about their reading experience. For just a little while, they are able to leave their own troubles behind, travel to a little resort town and experience my make-believe world where the good guy wins. For a few hours, they frolicked through the pages with a cat on a mission to help Kimberlee solve her father’s cold case murder. Then my friend tells me how much she loved it and asks, “When is the sequel coming out?”
That’s when I know. That’s why I write. That’s why it’s all worth it.

Orangutans at zoos nationwide may soon be able to connect with one another and create their own network of friends by using iPads and online chat services such as Skype.
The use of iPads by animals is not new, but researchers and orangutan advocates closely involved with an orangutan enrichment program recently launched at Milwaukee Zoo, wherein orangutans are introduced to iPads, hope to take gadget use amongst orangutans nationwide to a new level.
Richard Zimmerman is working to get zoos across the country to introduce iPads in their orangutan enclaves and thus allow the apes to connect with their brethren thousands of miles away in "primate playdates" via Skype or other chat services. Zoos in Phoenix, Atlanta and Toronto are among those that have agreed to participate.
Zimmerman is the founding director of Orangutan Outreach, an organization dedicated to protecting orangutans in the wild and which collaborates with zoos nationwide.
“Orangutans can communicate via sounds, squeaks and squeals,” Zimmerman said. “They make all sorts of noises and they communicate with their eyes. They roll their eyes at each other. They glare at each other. It’s ingenious.”
And all of this communication is perfectly doable via Skype, Zimmerman points out.
Facebook for animals?
Zimmerman’s hope is that orangutans soon will have complete access to iPads and will be able to see who is online and available at other zoos to “chat.” An orangutan in Milwaukee, for example, might choose to chat with his cousin in Phoenix, or he might prefer another ape in Atlanta.
The first step – getting orangutans to use iPads – has already been achieved. Zimmerman is closely involved with an animal enrichment program at Milwaukee County Zoo that recently introduced two orangutans to iPads. Several times a week, 4-year-old Mahal and his surrogate mom, M.J., tinker on iPads, where they fingerpaint with an app called DrawFree (a favorite), work through the interactive “Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore,” play a number iPad games and watch TV shows.
The apes have taken to these colorful, tactile devices with ardor, which is no surprise to Zimmerman.
“We know orangutans love doing something tactile, and they are naturally very curious and inquisitive,” said Zimmerman. “Putting orangutans with a touch screen, there’s a grace to it. It’s phenomenal to watch.”
Although the Milwaukee program has been greeted by a media brouhaha, this isn’t the first time animals have been paired with iPads or touch-screen devices. In Mexico, the bottlenose dolphin Merlin has tested a dolphin app on the iPad, and the Atlanta Zoo has had a concrete “learning tree” in its orangutan enclosure for several years. Atlanta’s tree contains a touch screen where orangutans can take part in game-like activities that test their memory, such as the childhood favorite where you match identical images. But unlike the tests you take at school, these orangutans perform these “tests” without any prodding from instructors.
“One thing we’re proud of is it’s voluntary on the part of the orangutan,” said Lori Perkins, director of animal programs at Atlanta Zoo. “The tree is in their habitat, it’s in their home. If they want to interact, they do; if they don’t want to, they don’t.”
[Read also “ 8 Humanlike Behaviors of Primates.”]
Biologists say one possible reason orangutans are particularly inclined to participate in such tests is that their natural habitats present challenges that demand similar cognitive skills.
“Orangutans in the wild have a lifestyle that involves solving puzzles,” said Perkins, who also coordinates the Orangutan Species Survival Plan, which ensures genetic diversity among orangutans in captivity.
“Orangutans are tree-dwelling animals and fruit eaters. There’s a lot you have to solve cognitively if you’re a fruit eater. You have to memorize the terrain of your habitat, when different trees in your environment are fruiting and where they are. You have to know how to get inside the packages that fruits come in ― oranges have a peel, some exotic fruits have sharp spines.”
Solving conundrums satisfies an intrinsic drive in many animals, and thus it's not surprising that in Atlanta the orangutan matriarch Madu will sort different types of birds, fish or trains into distinct categories for hours without any reward other than the mental challenge itself.
Zimmerman hopes that when people see orangutans using iPads, they will realize how remarkable the animals are and that they are worth protecting in the wild.
“One thing to remember is here we are in the West, doing these fun things which are awesome, but our mission is to save the orangutans in the wild, where their situation is drastic,” Zimmerman said. “When people see that these are cool creatures doing stuff on the iPad, people will think, ‘Oh my god, we ‘ve got to protect these animals.’”
Before orangutans can start Skyping with each other, however, engineers have to figure out how to orangutan-proof an iPad, Zimmerman said.
Obstacles to overcome
Currently, the head of primates at the Milwaukee Zoo approaches Mahal and M.J. with an iPad and lets them use it, but the apes don’t have full access to the device.
“We’re not at a point where the orangutans can hold the iPads, because they have an amazing ability to dismantle, so we have to get housing for the iPads to make them unbreakable,” said Zimmerman.
“Whether orangutans will be walking around with an iPad we don’t know; that depends on the engineers. So far, we’ve been approached by companies that do wall-mounted touch screens of various sizes.”

Goldco helps customers protect their retirement savings by rolling over their existing IRA, 401(k), 403(b) or other qualified retirement account to a Gold & Silver IRA.
This is the investor's responsibility. Recognized custodians have relationships with several hundred dealers throughout the country and may be prepared to share that list. It can also work the other method. "Some metal dealerships may recommend an IRA custodian," says Johnson. "However, customers are always complimentary to look for custodians by themselves." Selecting which company to utilize is complicated, as it is a customized task that significant brokerage companies usually do not use, according to Moy.
These consist of:: Understanding all your expenses upfront can avoid any nasty surprises, such as hidden fees after you invest.: Try to find a company with an outstanding reputation from objective 3rd parties, such as the Bbb or the Organization Consumer Alliance. Moy states it might likewise be handy to go into what customers say about the company, specifically the variety of problems submitted.
: You need to just handle a business that has all the proper and necessary licenses, registrations, insurance coverage, and bonds to protect your financial investment. Ask for confirmation of those licenses and other info. Special Costs Owning gold in a gold IRA does feature some special expenses. The charges that a financier will face consist of::"Although gold takes a crack at rate, there are markups depending upon whether you desire gold bullion, coins, proofs, and so on," says Sentell.
"Similarly, each kind of gold presents its own set of requirements when a financier needs to sell," he adds.: This one-time cost is charged to develop your brand-new IRA account. This likewise varies by organization, but it may be more than the normal setup fee, as not all monetary services firms handle gold Individual retirement accounts.
: The gold needs to be held by a certified storage center for which storage fees are charged.: If you desire to close out a gold individual retirement account by selling your gold to a third-party dealer, stated dealer will wish to pay less than what it opts for on the free market.
Some individual retirement account business will ensure to buy the gold back from you at current wholesale rates, but you could still lose cash by closing the account, something that typically does not occur with opening and closing regular Individual retirement accounts. Needed Minimum Circulation Issues Once you reach age 72, you will be mandated to take needed minimum circulations (RMDs) from a traditional gold IRA (though not from a Roth one).
This problem, nevertheless, can be ameliorated by taking the overall quantity of your RMDs from other traditional IRAs. Checkbook IRAs There is one possible way to prevent having a custodian and the costs connected with one: You can open what's called a "checkbook IRA," a self-directed individual retirement account that does not need custodial management.
As Sentell points out, it does permit investors to acquire gold American Eagles, a U.S. Treasuryminted coin, for their retirement accounts and hold them personally, avoiding custodian and storage fees. No other coin enjoys this tax-code exception, described in Internal Revenue Code 408(m). The IRS is stated to be presently inspecting this kind of IRA, so continue cautiously with this choice.
The rollover procedure is the very same when it comes to any other retirement fund. You generally fill out an account application (whether online or on paper), and the account is generally developed within 24 to 48 hours of conclusion and receipt of the application. "When the signed transfer request is gotten by all parties, the 2 custodians will communicate with each other to transfer the funds to the new custodian and fund a brand-new gold IRA," states Gottlieb.
Gold's Special Risks All financial investments come with risks and benefits, gold consisted of. "In many methods, gold Individual retirement accounts have the same dangers that any investment has," says Moy.
"Gold has a 5,000-year history of being a shop of value," says Moy. "Stocks can go to zero [causing havoc to business], as we've seen with Lehman Brothers, bonds can default like in Argentina or get big hairstyles like in Greece. The worth of the dollar has actually gradually decreased [at certain periods]
If your portfolio is balanced with both gold and paper-based investments, a loss on the gold side will be stabilized by the gain experienced by other possessions. "Much of these threats exist for traditional Individual retirement accounts too. And standard IRAs have dangers that gold IRAs do not have," he includes.
Any physical commodity undergoes theft. Somebody could get into the depository where your gold is being saved. Nevertheless, to get approved for gold Individual retirement accounts, depositories are needed to be guaranteed, which would protect your investment as long as your account doesn't exceed the custodian's stated worth on accounts, "There are likewise untrustworthy custodians who might steal from their clients' accounts or devote scams by offering your precious metals that they do not in fact have nor are preparing to purchase," says Moy.
While gold has the potential of a high return, it's simple to be blinded by its shine. Gold rates can plunge suddenly. When gold is increasing, you likewise have to choose whether you 'd be buying ator close tothe top of the marketplace if you invest at that point. Waiting could make more sense.
In basic, it's never ever an excellent idea to put all of your eggs in one property basket. If gold seems like a solid option for you, Sentell recommends putting no more than one-third of your retirement funds into a gold individual retirement account. Gottlieb suggests you have no more than "10% to 15% of an individual overall portfolio purchased gold, whether in the paper kind [which is not allowed in a gold individual retirement account] or the physical holdings.".
If you have an interest in purchasing physical gold and other precious metals, a gold IRA is a choice. Examine out our choices for the very best gold IRA companies from our partners.

Republicans on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform asked Tuesday that national security adviser Jake Sullivan provide documentation about the last days of U.S. military involvement in Afghanistan.
The request for briefings, raw intelligence reports and video surveillance from the Aug. 26 ISIS-K terrorist attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport and the retaliatory drone strike that killed an Afghan aid worker and his family is signed by every Republican on the House Oversight Committee.
In the letter, obtained exclusively by the Daily Caller, the Republicans assert that the drone strike “served to limit the political fallout from the suicide bombing by changing the narrative from an Administration on the defensive regarding its Afghanistan withdrawal to one on offense.” They also blast President Joe Biden’s over-the-horizon counter-terrorism strategy, calling it “an ‘over the rainbow’ idea in need of serious recalibration.”
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) initially claimed that the strike “eliminat[ed] an imminent ISIS-K threat to Hamad Karzai International Airport” with “no indications” of civilian casualties. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley described the strike as “righteous,” adding that “procedures were correctly followed.”
However, following reporting from The New York Times, CENTCOM commander Gen. Kenneth McKenzie admitted that the strike killed “as many as ten civilians, including up to seven children.” Pentagon press secretary John Kirby announced an internal investigation on Sept. 20. (RELATED: ‘You Think You’d Kind Of Know Before You Off Somebody With A Predator Drone’: Rand Paul Blasts Blinken On Drone Strike)
Congress is also responsible for conducting investigations into the Defense Department’s handling of the withdrawal, Oversight Committee Ranking Member James Comer told the Daily Caller.
“President Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal has been an unmitigated disaster and the Administration’s strategy is nothing but reckless. The Administration’s decision to target Zemari Ahmadi, a humanitarian worker in the region, cost the lives of ten innocent civilians and only seems to have occurred because the President promised retaliatory action,” he said.
“This Administration has seemingly prioritized politics over lives and now, it’s this Committee’s constitutional duty to seek answers and hold President Biden accountable. Mr. Sullivan has played a major role in every Afghanistan decision over the past nine months and can provide Congress all the facts regarding the assassination of Zemari Ahmadi and the President’s strategy going forward. One thing is clear, a review of President Biden’s failings in Afghanistan must be comprehensive and Oversight Republicans are prepared to leave no stones unturned as we seek the truth.”
The Oversight Committee is requesting that Sullivan provide the documents and briefings by Oct. 5.
Sullivan has kept quiet on the Afghanistan withdrawal since the last American troops left the country. He last appeared on TV on Aug. 29, and has not been scheduled to testify to either the Senate or the House.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken testified to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee about the withdrawal on Sept. 13 and 14. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Milley testified to the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday.

|A New Gait Recognition System based on Hierarchical Fair Competition-based Parallel Genetic Algorithm and Selective Neural Network Ensemble
Heesung Lee, Heejin Lee, and Euntai Kim*
International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems, vol. 12, no. 1, pp.202-207, 2014
Abstract : The recognition of a person from his or her gait has been a recent focus in computer vision because of its unique advantages such as being non-invasive and human friendly. However, gait recognition is not as reliable an identifier as other biometrics. In this paper, we applied a hierarchical fair competition-based parallel genetic algorithm and a neural network ensemble to the gait recognition problem. A diverse set of potential neural networks are generated to increase the reliability of the gait recognition, not only the best ones. Furthermore, a set of component neural networks is selected to build a gait recognition system such that generalization errors are minimized and negative correlation is maximized. Experiments are carried out with the NLPR and SOTON gait databases and the effec-tiveness of the proposed method for gait recognition is demonstrated and compared to previous meth-ods.
Keyword : Gait recognition, hierarchical fair competition-based parallel genetic algorithm, negative correlation, neural network ensemble, selective neural network ensemble.

The hopeful and dreaded 2012 is here!
Here is to the hope that it will be a wonderful adventure and the weird ones who think the end is near are wrong. Even if the Mayan predictions are true..oh well..I hope I have lived my life to the best of my abilities!
That said, I posted an event on Facebook of a one day workshop making art papers for the last Saturday of January. Already have 2 students and just need 2 more to actually hold the class!!! Of course one is an artist friend and the other my son..but I was totally surprised by their desire to come and pay to play!
This particular class will be making and taking some papers that can be used in a lot of ways..from scrapbooking to book binding,journal making, collage and painting backgrounds..I will try some marbling effects so I can offer that. There will be mediums used and textures made, some collage. I read an article about Penny Brown who has done some interesting things with watercolor and other things on Rives BFK printmaking paper. So more things to experiment with.
I am even going to make some jewelry from bits of colorful 300# arches paper that was cut off some bookmarks I made to make them a better size. I kept these bits because the colors were so beautiful..and I am going to incorporate them into some jewelry.
So I will demonstrate many things and then we will go at it and play and make grand messes.
Also I will be providing lunch.. I figured this would be a good way to get people in too. It will be very healthy and taste good too!!! We can have lunch out in the lobby area which has a refrigerator, microwave, table and chairs and a nice counter area.
My studio will have to be moved around a bit but very doable.
I need to organize my thoughts because I get excited then don't know where to focus first.
I will be holding workshops on the last Saturday of every month this year unless something happens.. 4 students at the minimum my rent is paid and then some.
The other plan is developing..I have run it by Hubby and he is fine with it..
I have been researching Crowd Funding, for those of you who have not heard about it..it is a way of getting funding for projects that you want to do.
There are several sites, 2 of the most well known are Kickstarter and Indiegogo. They give you 90 days to 120 days to get the funding you ask for on their sites. You provide the dream..be it helping children with an afterschool program of some sort to renovating the local park, to taking a trip to research your next art project. You create the vision and get people on board through the site you choose and also you bring in as much interest from your friends, peers etc. leading them to the site where you have hopefully presented your dream in a way that gets them excited to help you achieve it. If after 90 days or 120 you have not received the goal funding through donations, then no money has changed hands and there is no risk to investors.But if you do get people to donate up to and beyond what you have asked for then you can get the funds with a small fee to the site and proceed with your project.
Now I need to do more research but it seems the more visual you make your vision to site goers then the better your chances are of getting funded. People apparently can donate in any amount that is comfortable for them. So videos and slideshows of your ideas are a good thing, along with a gift to donors of a minimum amount. I would think that would also cement the ideas and plan for the artist/person with project. Even if it doesn't get funded..then you have a plan you can refine, and possibly present elsewhere.
So I was trying to come up with ideas..and this is my favorite. Our house needs lots of cosmetic work and I want it to be beautiful in an artistic way. Colorful, a mural on the North wall, outdoor sculptures. Something that won't upset the neighbors too much but is enough to make people who pass by happy.
I need to go to the city and make sure what can be done within the boundaries of what is allowed but since the house is not a part of any subdivision or PUD development and on a State Highway..well we should be free to use color the way we want. Of course we want it to be tasteful but it has to be fun too. (A gallery of sorts) I have many sculpture friends whom I hope to enlist in borrowing their outdoor pieces they have no where to put or at least help me build some of my own.
This all will involve making a detailed "storyboard" of what I envision and hopefully a fun video. I don't plan to become a kitschy roadside attraction but with all the drab taupe/beige subdivisions going up all over..there needs to be some color introduced!
So if nothing else the idea has made me happy to think about even if it never actually happens the way planned.
The sun is shining here..have a wonderful New Year!


Kim Kardashian's Pal on Kris Humphries' Sexy Pics: He's Desperate to Stay in the Spotlight
Kris Humphries may not get any support from Kim Kardashian's camp for his recently unveiled sexy shots. Asked for comment about the pictures taken for WestEast magazine's upcoming issue, a so-called friend of the reality TV star tells The Huffington Post, "The pictures are ridiculous."
The pal even accuses the New Jersey Nets player of trying to gain publicity with the spread as saying, "[The pictures] show how far Kris is willing to go to remain in the public spotlight." The friend additionally believes that Kim will laugh at them, claiming, "I haven't spoken with Kim about them, but you know she will get a good laugh when she sees them."
Kris did the photo shoot with NYC photographer Christopher Logan in New York City at the Night Hotel. In one of the images, the 27-year-old hunk has his face painted and poses in skivvies while baring his chest in a half-zipped jacket. Another picture, meanwhile, shows him in James Bond-style tux and holding a gun.
An insider claimed the basketball player was interested in doing the shoot because "he thought it would be a fun thing to do." The source added, "He's a guy, so the action figure theme was appealing. Plus, he wanted to help out his friend, stylist Derek Warburton, who is WestEast's fashion director."
His representative additionally denied that Kris was seeking "revenge" with the pictures. "The allegations that he's seeking revenge with this photo shoot are false and we remain adamant that personal issues will be handled by his legal team and not in the media," the rep stressed.

Fire crews were called to a small blaze in Ryde this afternoon (Saturday).
According to a spokesman for the IW Fire & Rescue Service, only a small two inch piece of wood, one of a set of hundreds, was damaged in the blaze.
It’s understood that a resident of The Strand lit a match at around 3.52pm, with fire crews from Newport and Ryde attending the scene not long after.
The resident extinguished the small fire himself shortly after using it to light his cigarette. There is no reason to believe arson was involved.

In times of shorter product-life-cycles and new restrictions the requirements for industrial buildings steadily increase. The need of flexibility in utilisation of industrial buildings is rising and quick changes of production process need to be feasible, for instance, if a logistic centre will be used as laboratory. Furthermore, the government lays a stronger emphasis on sustainability and efficiency of modern industrial buildings. Current structures, processes and services in the construction industry are not suitable for the new requirements. This paper presents an approach which tries to handle the named complexity during the development process as well as an innovative product service system for the construction industry.

I was so touched by the interview that Mr. Jimmy Johnson gave last week. It is refreshing to see a sports figure make the statement in front of millions of people that he needs to get his priorities in order, with so much pressure on just the ordinary man and women in today's world and the stress of every day living, I hope that it did not fall on deaf ears.
Mr. Johnson can set an example for many in this world where we do tend to put aside the important things for things we feel are important. He has impressed me, and I wish him much happiness in his new marriage and success in the future.

text: This protocol explains how to use the online integrated pipeline 'peak-motifs' (http://rsat.ulb.ac.be/rsat/) to predict motifs and binding sites in full-size peak sets obtained by chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-seq) or related technologies. The workflow combines four time- and memory-efficient motif discovery algorithms to extract significant motifs from the sequences. Discovered motifs are compared with databases of known motifs to identify potentially bound transcription factors. Sequences are scanned to predict transcription factor binding sites and analyze their enrichment and positional distribution relative to peak centers. Peaks and binding sites are exported as BED tracks that can be uploaded into the University of California Santa Cruz (UCSC) genome browser for visualization in the genomic context. This protocol is illustrated with the analysis of a set of 6,000 peaks (8 Mb in total) bound by the Drosophila transcription factor Krüppel. The complete workflow is achieved in about 25 min of computational time on the Regulatory Sequence Analysis Tools (RSAT) Web server. This protocol can be followed in about 1 h.

Influenza remains one of the leading causes of death in the U.S. and is particularly dangerous for patients more susceptible to serious flu illness, including babies, young children, seniors and people with certain chronic health conditions. We have a responsibility to protect our patients, visitors and each other by making sure we are immunized against the flu.
Getting your flu vaccination at UF Health is easy. Beginning Sept. 6, the following workers are eligible for a no-cost flu shot through UF Health Shands Occupational Health, or OHS, located at UF HealthShands Hospital, Room 1004, with an ID badge:
- UF Health Shands employees and volunteers
- UF Health Physicians employees
- UF College of Medicine faculty physicians, residents and fellows
- Credentialed ARNPs
- Credentialed physician assistants
- Credentialed medical staff
In September and October, OHS will co-host several flu vaccination events with the UF Student Health Care Center, or SHCC, in the UF Health Shands Hospital Atrium and UF Health Shands Cancer Hospital, Room 1205. Staff members are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to be vaccinated at one of these events.

What in the world is wrong with Ian Kennedy?
After emerging as the Arizona Diamondbacks’ ace last season and a viable candidate for the NL Cy Young Award, Ian Kennedy has struggled to build upon his successful 2011 campaign.
In fact, at times Kennedy appears unrecognizable to the hurler who dominated hitters so effortlessly last year. So what’s changed so drastically from one season to the next?
Perhaps one problem with Ian Kennedy doesn’t stem from on the field performance but rather the lofty expectations that surrounded him entering the season.
For his career, Kennedy boasts a 37-25 record with a 3.76 ERA, which suggests it was highly unlikely the D-backs’ right-hander would replicate or improve upon his 21-4 record and 2.88 ERA from a season ago.
It’s quite possible last year was an aberration, in which the D-backs’ hurler played out of his mind. Kennedy may not be ace material, but he should still figure to be a top of the rotation starter, which makes the inconsistency of his performance this season all the more baffling.
One area of Kennedy’s game that appears indicative of his season-long troubles is his increased wildness and number of walks.
In Friday’s 8-1 loss to the Chicago Cubs, the 27-year-old hit a batter, walked two and threw two wild pitches in an erratic outing.
Kennedy was tagged for six runs on seven hits, including two home runs to Cubs’ left fielder Alfonso Soriano, and saw his record fall to 6-8 on the year and his ERA inflate to 4.55.
Sure, you could make the argument that Kennedy was a victim of a 3-hour and 40-minute rain delay and shaking off rust from the All-Star layoff, but control issues have certainly plagued the right-hander all year long.
Another troubling aspect of Kennedy’s game is the number of home runs allowed. In 107.2 innings pitched this season, he’s already surrendered 12 longballs. In 2011, Kennedy gave up 19 home runs in 222.0 innings of work.
Kennedy’s number of walks and home runs allowed are certainly alarming, as is his inability to make and locate pitches when behind in the count. There are obvious adjustments that need be made if Kennedy is going to be effective and reliable for the Diamondbacks in the second half.
It’s only been one outing, but so far it’s been a rough start on the road to redemption for Ian Kennedy.

Western Australia’s Education Department has been accused of censoring students as part of a visit by senior Labor MPs to a Perth high school.
A group of Labor MPs visited Ballajura Community College on Monday, and held a question and answer session with the school’s Year 11 and 12 political and legal studies students.
In the days leading up to the visit, students were asked to prepare a list of questions related to policy issues linked to the portfolios of the MPs.
However, the state’s Education Department later advised the students that their questions were “too political” and asked that they choose something more generic in nature.
The students ended up asking the MPs questions related to the parliamentary system, life in politics and the best and worst parts of their jobs.
Labor's education spokeswoman, Sue Ellery – who attended the event – told the ABC that she and her colleagues were shocked by the decision not to allow policy questions.
“I was to be asked questions about Labor's policy on science, the policy on services in schools, the safe schools program, all education policy matters that have been the subject of public debate,” she said.
“I think it's extraordinary that we're so afraid of what might happen if they ask the questions they actually wanted to ask that we shut them down.”
However, a spokesperson for the WA Department of Education told The Educator that the purpose of the question and answer session was for students to learn more about the workings of a modern democracy, parliamentary processes and functions of parliament.
“A number of the questions written by students were designed to elicit the political views of a particular party rather than to create general discussion about parliament and the roles of parties, which is more in line with the Department of Education's published protocols,” the spokesperson said.
“Students were asked by the principal to write questions that focussed on the processes of a modern Australian parliamentary democracy and the challenges facing those who choose politics as a career. They also had to be related to the curriculum.”
The spokesperson added that it was important for schools to “balance rich learning opportunities while maintaining an apolitical stance”.

Activ8 Radio - 3 Ways To Increase Sales Today, Effort Is A Choice, & Gym Characters
Branching away from the typical order the podcast rolls with, co-hosts Cory Gregory and John Fosco dive right in to the topic of “gym characters”. Every, well we should say most, gyms have these types of people wandering the weight room, and both John and Cory start us off with a couple stories about what they have experienced regarding the subject. As always, the Activ8 Radio Podcast is powered by our sponsor, Reebok, and we encourage everyone to #BeMoreHuman every day!
Some sports talk is offered up next by Cory and John. The critical game seven of the Western Conference Finals in the National Basketball Association (NBA) between the Golden State Warriors and the Oklahoma City Thunder is discussed and the hosts give their predictions on who will match up with the Cleveland Cavaliers for the finals. Also, some discussion on the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) takes place, alongside other current events such as the Indy 500, and Cory’s son’s baseball game.
Getting back to a familiar section of the show, the “Hot Seat” is next on the agenda, where the hosts ask each other three questions in order to get more familiar with one another, and allow the Famiglia some insight to their lives outside of business. John’s infamous backwards hat is finally addressed, and you simply can’t miss his story about his fitness idol growing up! Cory is up next and he talks about some of his relationships with current and former National Football League (NFL) players. The topic of gun control is also debated on, and Cory gives his position on the controversial subject.
Next, is “Johnny’s Inbox,” the segment of the show where John offers up his advice to people who are struggling in different areas of life. In this particular case, John and Cory speak on the boundaries that must be respected between making time for family, and living your life in a disciplined manner and a listener of the podcast sends John a message about some concerns he has with his brother not agreeing with his lifestyle. The next message is in regards to a business idea a listener is considering. John is pretty straight forward with his advice, and gives some tough love to the concerned young entrepreneur. He refers back to a previous Activ8 Daily, but tune in to the full episode below to see where the hosts take this one!
“Double Bicep with a Toe Spike, its Fit Time!” orders John as he moves the show onward. Cory’s tip this week doesn’t have a direct correlation with fitness, but is more on a universal understanding: effort is a choice. The hosts share a few stories about how effort in sports, life, business, and everything in between, is all a choice. Wrapping up the show, the business portion of the podcast is crucial for multiple reasons, and Cory and John share with the listeners three ways to increase sales today. Understanding how to maximize profits and referrals with your existing customer base are a couple of the ways the hosts suggest, but in order to get more detail and find out the last suggestion, you’ll need to give the full podcast a watch below and subscribe to the Activ8 Media YouTube channel so you don’t miss any of our daily content!

RESIDENTS of a new Kootingal subdivision have lost their eight-month campaign to stop the construction of three villas in their quiet street.
Orchid Dr homeowners were left dismayed this week when Tamworth Regional Council voted 5-3
to approve the controversial development. The decision came despite the plans clearly violating developer-imposed covenants guiding potential buyers as to the projected amenity of the subdivision. But such covenants, which in this case recommended all structures be dual occupancy and of a certain size, have no bearing on council decisions.
“We’re very disappointed,” said Orchid Dr resident Peter Smitham, 62, who abided by the covenants when building his home last year.
“People should be very wary of when covenants are advertised, because they really don’t mean a thing when it comes to council passing developments.”
Councillor James Treloar, speaking at Tuesday night’s meeting, said residents had to understand that council’s own planning instruments trumped covenants.
“Unfortunately we’re seeing again a community that is asking the council to defend them in their rights under the covenant and we actually have no authority to do that,” he said.
“Our role is to purely determine ... compliance with the council’s LEP (Local Environment Plans) and this completely complies.”
Orchid Rd residents, some of whom addressed councillors at the meeting, also maintain the development will have enormous implications for traffic in the street.
Council approved the development with 39 separate conditions, including that “all vehicular movements to and from the site shall be in a forward direction”.
“How on Earth are they going to police that?” Mr Smitham said.
“It’s ludicrous. They can’t, unless I stand here taking photos of cars, but I don’t want to do that.”
In voting against the development, Cr Phil Betts said the traffic management plan before council was “as complex as I have seen”.
“While it fits on a piece of paper, in reality if you walk out there and have a look at that block, it just doesn’t meet the requirements I feel for that amount of traffic,” he said.
But deputy mayor Russell Webb, while admitting he did not “feel all that comfortable about actually approving it”, said the council had no choice.
“If it went to the Land and Environment Court, we would lose and it would cost the ratepayers of this community considerable funds,” Cr Webb said.

One of the UK’s leading organic food and farming charities has launched Organic September – a month-long celebration of “healthy, humane and sustainable food, farming and land use”.
The event, which is being coordinated by the Soil Association, encourages people to become immersed in an organic way of life, and is supported by a number of high-profile figures, including Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, Xanthe Clay and Sophie Grigson.
“Organic September is Europe’s biggest celebration of all things organic and is a great chance for people to discover what makes organic food naturally different and to enjoy all the special offers and events happening across the country”, said Helen Browning, chief executive of the Soil Association.
“Why not give your body a boost before winter by cooking up some of the mouth-watering recipes we have collected based on fresh, seasonal organic fruit and vegetables.
“Choosing organic food has got to be one of the easiest, most delicious and enjoyable ways to make a real difference.”
Organic September is willing people on to make the switch to healthier, more sustainable food options, and encourages you to add your signature to the list of people committed to doing so on its website.
“If everyone in the UK spent just £10 more on organic products each year”, the official Organic September page states, “then the market would increase by around 30% – securing more land to be farmed in a healthy manner.”
Individuals are also asked to complete a shopping survey and to host an organic feast this month, amongst other related events.
The Soil Association list five reasons why organic food is better than non-organic, such as for environmental, animal welfare and wildlife issues. It also says that you can trust organic food much more easily.
For more information on organic and sustainable food and farming, come back to our site over the next month, as we’ll be looking in-depth at some of the Soil Association’s key themes.

BEDFORD, Mass. – –(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sep. 21, 2011– More than 200 leaders from industry, academia, and government joined Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Attorney General Martha Coakley on September 20 for the official launch of the Advanced Cyber Security Center (ACSC). An initiative of Mass Insight Global Partnerships hosted at The MITRE Corporation in Bedford, Mass., the Center is a next-generation collaboration of industry, university, and government research partners, in which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is a charter member. It enables operational, real-time data-sharing about advanced cyber threats and establishes a platform for industry researchers to engage New England’s world-class research universities in a new model for collaborative research and development (R&D) and education partnerships.
Founded in 2010 at MITRE, the ACSC is the product of a three-year development effort that began with a Mass Insight/McKinsey study on the IT and defense sectors in Massachusetts. The Center leverages the region’s significant resources to expand the information technology (IT) sector and support other major IT-dependent sectors such as financial services, defense, healthcare and utilities, and to play a national role in developing solutions to cyber threats. The ACSC also positions Massachusetts and the New England region to compete for talent and jobs in this critical area of economic and national security.
