Hobbit emerges from hole in the ground
For fans of The Lord of the Rings, Elvish is almost back in the building. Heading to New Zealand for the premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on Wednesday, there are excellent reasons to be optimistic about Peter Jackson's return to the world of hobbits, dwarves, wizards and dragons.
First, of course, it's Peter Jackson. Despite an earlier plan for Guillermo del Toro to direct two Hobbit movies, with Jackson producing and co-writing the script, no filmmaker could have a better feel for Middle Earth and its characters.
And now that he's drawing on Tolkien's notes for a planned revision and making three movies, few directors in cinema history have shown they can maintain such high storytelling standards over a trilogy.
There are more reasons to feel encouraged:
Structurally, Tolkien's relatively slim novel is a quest by Bilbo Baggins and 13 dwarves to seize the treasure guarded by the fearsome dragon Smaug. While it is episodic, Bilbo's rising confidence and bonding with the dwarves through a series of conflicts seems ready-made for a screen version.
Jackson says An Unexpected Journey is 160 minutes long - substantial but less than the 178, 179 and 201 minutes of The Lord of the Rings movies - but he insists there is enough story for another trilogy. Given his pacing of the earlier trilogy was as near perfect as his control of tone and melding of human emotion with epic scale, that's good enough for me.
Also heading back to Middle Earth are the behind-the-scenes team that won 17 Oscars and many of the key cast, including Ian McKellen as Gandalf, Andy Serkis as Gollum, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel and Hugo Weaving as Elrond. Amid all the acclaim, the strength of the performances was an under-appreciated aspect of The Lord of the Rings, as shown by only one of the 30 Oscar nominations going to an actor - McKellen for The Fellowship of the Ring.
English actor Martin Freeman (The Office, Love Actually, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy and Sherlock) seems just about ideal to play Bilbo Baggins, with his Hobbitish looks and ability to play comedy with heart.
There seems only three reasons to be not quite so confident:
Lightning strikes rarely for even the best filmmakers. Considering all the obstacles Jackson had to overcome on The Lord of the Rings - starting from when Harvey Weinstein wanted to replace him with Shakespeare in Love's John Madden if he refused to make just one movie instead of two - its success was nothing short of phenomenal. Could a second trilogy possibly work so well again? Precious few filmmakers have had anywhere near the same success when they return later to familiar territory, including Francis Ford Coppola with The Godfather: Part 3, George Lucas with Star Wars - Episode 1: The Phantom Menace and, more recently, Ridley Scott with Prometheus.
There is a dramatic problem with the climax to the novel. (A spoiler follows so if you haven't read The Hobbit, skip this paragraph). When Bilbo and the dwarves finally confront Smaug, Tolkien has the dragon killed by a secondary character elsewhere, only after Bilbo has identified its weakness. Dramatically, that's like having a guest character solve the crime in a CSI episode rather than your central cast. But it will be two movies before we know how they deal with the issue.
Warner Bros is requiring critics to hold back reviews until after the US premiere on December 3. This is to allow reviews to run closer to the movie's US release on December 14; in Australia, it's out on December 26. In many ways, that's perfectly reasonable given the way social media amplifies extreme early reviews over the more considered words of valued critics. But there are cases when an embargo is to postpone the news a movie hasn't worked.
No matter. We'll know soon enough.

Sheriff: No arrests made in deadly brothers shooting
Family said brother shot brother in self-defense
One person is dead and deputies are interviewing a person of interest after a shooting in Sequoyah County.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart said the shooting occurred about 5:11 p.m. at a home five miles east of Sallisaw near Highway 64.
Officials said dispatchers were talking with a 911 caller about the incident when a gunshot was heard in the background.
Deputies said that when they arrived at the scene, they found 37-year-old Scott Fueston lying in a garage at the home with a gunshot to his upper torso from a rifle.
Fueston was taken to Sequoyah Memorial Hospital where he died around 6 p.m.
Sequoyah County Sheriff Ron Lockhart said they have interviewed the suspect, who was the brother of the victim, Scott Fueston. The suspect told deputies he was scared of his brother and hid in the garage with a rifle, Lockhart said.
The suspect said Fueston refused to leave and kicked in the garage door where he was hiding. The suspect fired a shot and hit Fueston in the chest, Lockhart said.
Lockhart said there was not enough "probable cause at this time to make an arrest." The case will be submitted to the District Attorney.
Reporters with 40/29tv spoke with Fueston's family Tuesday night.
Family members said Fueston was fighting with one of his brothers when the shooting happened.
"(We're) just a little nerve wrecked -- overwhelmed. Wish I could say it ended a bit better than what it did. Other than I love them and I'm sorry that it turned out the way that it did," family member Hillary Pastore said.
Pastore said she was in her bedroom when the two started feuding.
"We came out and heard Scott yell, slam a door and I went to see what was happening and I saw him in the garage and they were fighting with each other and next thing you know that's what happened. It just got out of control really fast," Pastore said.
Lockhart said a family member called 911.
"The dispatcher was listening in and talking with the caller and overheard a gunshot. A short time later, just a few minutes later deputies arrived and found a male subject laying inside the garage door with a gunshot wound to the upper torso," Lockhart said.
The family said the two brothers fought and argued before.
"My older brother really feared for his life. Seriously, because Scott's the kind of guy that will make you fear for your life. He (Gary) acted in self-defense. I mean he was trying to save himself and the rest of my family and it turned out tragically. I mean, it is what it is, what can we do," brother Mike Phillips said.

What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. The gambling resort has always been an exceptional place in movie screenplays, a playground where the usual rules of puritanical society don't apply, but because Hollywood believes in just desserts, it's a place where whatever mischief you get up to, you have to pay for eventually. Take the oldtimers celebrating a bachelor party in this week's new comedy Last Vegas — think those seniors are going to get to party like the guys in The Hangover without slipping a disc or two?
Still, the Las Vegas dream of getting something for nothing persists. In that sense, the movies do Vegas better than Vegas does itself. We get to watch all the lust, avarice, and gluttony, and then we get to watch someone else pay for it. Here are ten such Vegas movies, where the indulgence is ours, and the bill is someone else's.

Day 1 of NEA back-to-school tour wraps up in Denver
Stop highlighted effective teacher-and union-led school transformation models
Denver - August 23, 2010 -
National Education Association (NEA) President Dennis Van Roekel kicked off a five-day, six-city back-to-school tour in Denver today. In addition to energizing staff about the upcoming school year, Van Roekel highlighted two successful teacher- and union-led innovative school transformation efforts. He was joined by Colorado Education Association (CEA) President Beverly Ingle and Denver Classroom Teachers Association President (DCTA) Henry Roman as well as dozens of Association members.
The three education leaders visited the Math and Science Leadership Academy, a new teacher-led public school where educators collaborate on all aspects of the school's operation. And they met with the teachers and administrators at Lake International Baccalaureate Middle School who are taking part in a groundbreaking employee and management partnership in transformation.
"For long-term, sustainable school transformation, shared responsibility and collaboration are essential," said Van Roekel. "All stakeholders must be at the table, working together for the benefit of students."
"The collaboration underway here in Denver with the Math and Science Leadership Academy deserves special mention. In this union-led school transformation effort, teachers are working together on everything from curriculum to peer review to professional development. This is a prime example of great things happening in public schools."
Van Roekel also visited Lake International Baccalaureate Middle School, which is beginning its first year of transformation. Educators, parents and the DCTA worked collaboratively all summer long on the plan to improve academic achievement, even taking on the task of recruiting students.
"It is very exciting to have NEA President Dennis Van Roekel here to help kick off the school year in Denver," said CEA's Ingle. "There is so much good collaborative work going on for the benefit of our students. We are pleased to shine the light on these efforts and the impact they are having on students and the teaching staff and other professionals who work in our schools."
The beginning of the school year, always an important time for students and educators, is also a good time to engage parents and the community. And that's important because research shows that parent, family, and community involvement correlates with higher academic performance and school improvement. When parents are engaged in their children's education, students are more motivated, they get better grades, and they are less likely to drop out.
"Everyone gets excited during back-to-school time, but we have to come up with creative yet practical ways to sustain that energy all year long," said NEA's Van Roekel. "We want parents involved throughout the school year and at every grade level."
On to Columbia, Missouri
The NEA back-to-school tour next moves to Columbia, Mo., where Van Roekel will award a $10,000 NEA grant to expand parent and community involvement in Columbia's public schools. NEA has given millions of dollars in grants in other communities to support efforts to close achievement gaps. He also will meet with educators at West Junior High School and Jefferson Junior High School to welcome them and their students back to school.

Wood flooring in Bedford TX is always a sought-after choice because it is simply a classic style that will never really go out of fashion. It is more refined, more healthy, and attractive, no matter what type of residence you have. Even with the transformations in other floor covering options, wood will truly never go out of style. However, just like with everything else in home design, there are certain styles of wood flooring that will come and go when it comes to fashion.
[dyna dynami="Template 1″]
So what are some of the Bedford TX wood flooring looks that we see into the years to come? Here are just three popular options:
Bigger Planks
Many of the houses built in Bedford TX tend to have more open floor plans and larger spaces, which means that wider planks and longer hardwood planks are the great alternatives for the space. Wider and longer planks make your flooring look more integrated and structured– there are far fewer lines. It also means that you have more choices when it comes to cleaning and decorating because you don't have to worry about cutting up the lines or working around breaks.
Texture is going to be an extremely prominent possibility in flooring, and that means that the call for bigger and wider planks will continue to grow. When it comes to texture, there needs to be a lot of space for that texture to look organic. With smaller planks, it tends to look choppy and a bit more fabricated and produced. With a longer plank, the texturizing looks natural.
Keep in mind that over the last few years, the production of flooring has allowed stronger planks and more structurally sound flooring.
Satin Finishing
There are many different types of flooring and finishing readily available on the market today, and as we just talked about, texturizing will be a prominent trend for wood flooring in Bedford TX. Some homeowners prefer that their flooring does not look brand new and instead looks like it has been lived in. Matte finishes are remarkably popular and the most requested type of wood flooring in Bedford TX. Satin finishes are a happy medium in between that matte flooring and the traditional semi-gloss. They bring in the best of both worlds, looking cleaner and still working with many different furniture looks and types.
Be sure to talk to your wood flooring installation team because they will know best what type of flooring finishing will work in your home and which types would not. Often, you might be able to get a satin finishing look without really getting satin finishing– even without having a satin finishing treatment on your wood flooring.
Not all wood flooring companies in Bedford TX work with satin finishing, so be sure to ask around when looking for a team to work with on your floors.
Angled Wood Floors or Diagonals
There is an increasing number of homeowners with wood flooring in Bedford TX that place their wood floors at an angle or on the diagonal. This is a complicated approach that requires a skillful hand, but it can bring a contemporary and luxurious feel to your home. Sometimes, the materials and installation will cost a bit more, but it is worth it because the feel is so much different than other types of flooring.
Certainly, wood flooring in Bedford TX will start switching just a bit in the coming years– be one of the first to embrace the style!

Charley, I really like the pics of the 1100 mile 70 Z, your engine compartment looks very similar to mine at 46k. SBMaino this is a good example of "original". Any other 69 Z or camaro in general claiming to be "all original unrestored" yet all the finishes in the engine compartment are pristine, is fooling himself."IN RUST WE TRUST"you just can't beat that original patina of a unrestored car in my opinion.
Just a quick post here to clarify here. On Han's engine, I did paint where the intake meets the cylinder head. I do this is many cases so that area does not rust. There are variations in this area and sometimes there is a light over spray of orange in this area. Other original cars have no paint there. So, restoring your engine gives you several options and how you want to do it.Regarding engine lift hooks, I have seen them both ways on Z28's. Painted orange and not painted (natural) or silver in color. I have inspected and looked at dozens of original survivor cars since the late 1980's and no two seem to be identical. Again, it's up to the restorer. If he likes them orange, do them that way. If you want them natural then that is good too. Either will net you full points in the "Legend Certification." I have many original photos both ways.Hope this helps.Jerry
Here is a 69 Z28 project on Ebay. Notice the silver paint still left on the engine lift bracket. I can't figure out how to link just the pic.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1969-camaro-z-28-Hugger-Orange-/330968144219?_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&ss#v4-42

SAN JOSE, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes set a franchise record this year with 13 shutouts, more than even the 2005 edition put up while wining the MLS Supporters' Shield.
Yet the Quakes ended the regular-season by allowing more goals than in any other match, and the sight of Kansas City's Birahim Diop scything through San Jose's back line for his first MLS hat trick last weekend was perhaps SJ's lowlight of the season.
WATCH HIGHLIGHTS: Wizards ease past Quakes, 4-1
The question is, which Quakes defense will show up Saturday for the franchise's first playoff match since being reestablished in 2008?
"I would say it's probably the defense [of the 13 shutouts]," Quakes defender Tim Ward said. "We had worked so hard in the last 10 or 15 games to make the playoffs, once we got there, I don't know if everybody felt like we could take it easy or what, but we just weren't the same team we were when we were fighting and battling and trying to make the playoffs.
"That's the kind of team we are – a team that has to fight. Nothing's going to come easy for us. If we expect it to come easy, it's not going to happen."
Certainly, very little will be easy when it comes to stopping New York and their fearsome array of weaponry in the Eastern Conference semifinal, which begins Saturday night at Buck Shaw Stadium (Telefutura, 10 p.m. ET).
Even if Thierry Henry can't play due to injury, Red Bulls coach Hans Backe can still run out the likes of Juan Pablo Ángel, Joel Lindpere and Dane Richards to put pressure on the Quakes.
[inline_node:321974]Richards had a standout game in the teams' last meeting, scoring one goal and assisting on another – Henry's MLS maiden – in a 2-0 Red Bulls victory on Aug. 28. Even with the tireless Bobby Convey playing left back, Richards' speed down New York's right flank simply bedeviled the San Jose's backline on several occasions.
"To be honest, there's not many guys in the league with that pace," Quakes center back Brandon McDonald said. "You can't really prepare for it. You've just got to come out and execute your game and do it well. We've gotten this far for a reason. I think we just keep continuing on that path and we'll be alright."
San Jose coach Frank Yallop took pains to point out that the Quakes had several solid chances go by the boards in that defeat at Red Bull Arena. And he's looking for the same kind of wide-open contest this time around.
"They've got a lot of weapons," Yallop said. "We feel that we can get at them, though. Going forward toward our goal, hopefully it leaves them a little open in the back. I expect it to be an end-to-end game. They wouldn't come down here and sit back, I wouldn't think. So we've got to be on our game, but we feel good about the matchup."
As for the lack of motivation on display in Kansas City, Yallop has no qualms about his team's readiness.
"When we needed to win, in the right moments, we did it this year," Yallop said. "So it showed you the mental toughness of our group. They've already forgot about it. That won't be a factor in this series at all."
Ward understands the skeptic's view that increasing the amount of urgency injected into a team can't be easy as flipping a proverbial switch. But he still maintains that's what will happen Saturday.
"I think we'll have it, because we brought it every game until we clinched," Ward said. "Then we let down for some reason. But I think everybody knows now that the real work begins this weekend."

Very disappointing that a company the size of Teamviewer does not have multiple redundant paths to prevent these major outages.
Perhaps less needs to be spent on Marketing and more on developement to make the good product that it is more resilient!

Down in Canada as well
Same Problem in austria, how long does it take?
Also in Saudi Arabia
We are facing issue in taking other systems through Team viewer...

If you know the IP address of the computer on your LAN and take note of the Password or know the unattended password you can still remote into it. NOTE this only works on computers on a local area network with the TV security Option set to accept incoming LAN connections.
same problem in Slovenia....need it ASAP
And Germany too
Still the same problem in austria!
Please hurry up!
in France too !...
Same in Italy, with paid license: I always keep another backup access channel (Chrome Remote Desktop, free, always on) otherwise I would be in deep trouble without access.
down in Indonesia
I have opened a ticket, it took 45min just to receive the automated responder message saying they got my email. I did read a number of others have also opened a ticket. I expect no response and to just find when I check later that it might be working again.... unless all their servers are on fire. But I'm not working tomorrow, so it wont be my problem soon! haha
Same problem from Tunisia
Same problem from Croatia.
Hi all,
I apologize for the connection problem and wanted to let you know, that our status page has been updated. Please feel free to subscribe to get all status updates immediately.
Once again sorry and I will keep you updated also in our community.
Best, Esther

Did my reply answer your question? Accept it as a solution to help others.
Does anyone already gets an answer how long will it take or even whats happen?! down are free and paid license! dissapoint
I have posted a similar topic without a notice (Ouch).
Same here in Japan and India..... Hope it gets fixed as soon as possible.
I've receieved a response from my submitted ticket that they are are aware their service is down and they're working on a solution, but no ETA when that will be as of yet. Will keep updating as I hear more.
Same here In Indonesia. Team Viewer is down
Actually that's a pretty lame response. Firstly I've seen over thirty countries listed with people complaining of full outage...not latency issues and not a limited subset.
No response from Temviewer on estimated time to fix?
You do get that we pay thousands of Euros in licesning fees for a product, because it is critical for us to be able to provide remote support. At the moment I am losing money, because clients are calling with issues and I can't service them.
I am having to look for alternate products now, and then I'm going to have to select and deploy that product....why, because you are not managing a severe outage (that should never have happened to this extent) seriously.
....limited subset, latency, status page that has to be manually updated !!!! really???
In Spain is also fallen, I need to control several servers and the service does not work, it is urgent. I hope you solve it quickly. Teamviewer 13 license paid. I request technical support.
thank god, thank teamviewer group, it work again. wait 3 hour to do 3 minute missing work in company.
great job!!!
Dear Alls,
Try now, services are back up. :D
Hi all - can you confirm whether it is working again?
Thanks, Esther
Community Manager
Did my reply answer your question? Accept it as a solution to help others.
Lithuania - Working again.
Login and connection succesfull. :-)
It's back. I confirm.
So you don't know when you've fixed the issue either?
It works in W.A. again....now you need to manually update your Status Page again....I guess looking for an Automated Monitoring Solution isn't realistic for Teamviewer?

Once again, if you're to lazy to click (which is completely understandable, here's the article in its entirety.
Boston Celtics
I've decided to use Eminem's approach in his final battle against Papa Doc in 8 Mile and address all the arguments that can be made against the Celtics right off the bat.
At 51-22, the Celtics are tied with Miami for second place in the East and sit just two-and-a-half games back of the Chicago and Derrick Rose for first. That being said, the Celtics are struggling. They're 5-7 in their last 12 games and have hardly looked like themselves. Rajon Rondo is frustrated, Kevin Garnett is constantly playing in foul trouble and injuries have crippled them as of late.
But Boston fans, come in off that ledge. All hope is not lost. In fact, the Celtics are actually ahead of schedule in comparison to 2010. Few may remember, but the C's finished 10-10 in their last 20 games last season and limped into the playoffs as a banged-up four seed. Then the "old," "tired" and "banged up" Celtics beat Miami in five, Cleveland in six and Orlando in six to reach the NBA Finals, concluding the season a knee injury away from an NBA championship.
But the Celtics are a different team now with a different identity. No longer are they the bullies at school – taking Tommy's lunch money, stuffing little Billy into a locker. Those days are over.
However, the Celtics are still a championship-caliber team.
When the Lakers lost five of nine in mid-January, the media tagged them as "old" and questioned whether they would even reach the conference finals. Now they've won seven in a row, are 15-1 since the All-Star break and look poised to defend their title.
Too quickly do people write teams off, assume the worst and rush to judge when a bit of adversity is experienced.
The Celtics are experiencing a similar drought. New players, a new system and untimely injuries have taken a toll on their wins column. When a star receiver is traded in the NFL, what's the first thing you hear on SportsCenter the next day? "Quarterback X and receiver Y spent two hours running routes after practice, working on their timing and footwork." These things take time.
The Celtics lost one key player (two if you count Nate Robinson) from last year's team. They added six. Troy Murphy, Jermaine O'Neal, Nenad Krstic and Shaquille O'Neal provide depth and an abundance of fouls in the frontcourt. Once Murphy, O'Neal and Shaq return from nagging ankle and knee injuries, the Celtics should reassume dominant form. They also added Delonte West and Jeff Green. West, a veteran with playoff experience, provides the Celtics two things: perimeter scoring and someone to come off the bench and give Paul Pierce and Ray Allen a blow. Green is an interesting player who has the potential to make the Celtics a different team. With his size and athleticism, he makes them more flexible, providing perimeter versatility not just on offense but on defense, something they will need to slow down Dwyane Wade and LeBron James.
The Celtics' nucleus, along with their six new additions, makes them championship contenders. Don't let 10 regular season games tell you otherwise. -Scott Horlbeck
San Antonio Spurs
Most assumed that the Spurs' surge to the top of the standings would be short-lived. In time, the injury bug would run its course. The Spurs have had other ideas. Many Ginobili is playing with his trademark reckless abandon. Tim Duncan is once again a defensive anchor. Tony Parker has filled the gaps with a varying array of floaters, elaborate layups and timely shooting. Ultimately however, the prognosticators had it partially right. Four starters have recently missed games due to injury.
For most teams, minor injuries cause major ripples. With little continuity on NBA rosters, each game and practice is valuable for enhancing chemistry. The Heat, Thunder, Bulls and Magic (the young and/or newly acquainted contenders) are still developing that ever-elusive chemistry while exerting their youthful energy on a nightly basis. Although this makes them more prone to injury, it's an unavoidable risk. Asking these teams to slow down is like asking Manu to play conservatively; it's ineffective and detrimental to the team.
Some teams, despite injuries, put it together when it counts simply because the chemistry is already established. Doc Rivers famously claims that no team has beaten the Celtics in a seven-game series when completely healthy. Similar statements can be made about the Spurs.
It's not that the Spurs are an immovable object impervious to defeat when healthy. History has proven otherwise. They are, however, part of a certain group of NBA teams that can shift to cruise control. Teams in this group, such as the Lakers, Celtics, Spurs and Mavs see the bigger picture. If they want to win in the playoffs, they need their guys to be healthy and rested. They can rest on their laurels as they please.
Recent NBA history suggests that veteran teams with chemistry have the best shot at a title. But each team that has actually won it has had that extra edge. The 2006-07 Spurs had the growing legend of LeBron to combat and the swirling belief that it was only because of Amar'e Stoudemire's suspension that they won the Western Conference Finals. In 2008, the Celtics had a plethora of veterans devoid of playoff success; the Lakers were hell-bent on revenge after the Celtics stuck it to them the year before. Last season, the Lakers had doubters, a possible repeat and the rival Celtics as motivation to finish the job.
So what do the Spurs have that separates them? The "nobody believes in us" factor. They are already arguably the best team in the NBA. They have reignited their stars and propelled them to new heights with a run-and-gun offense. They have the NBA's best record. And despite all that, nobody seems to be giving them a chance. When experts talk about championship favorites, the Spurs hardly enter the conversation outside of "they'll be a tough out." This added fuel can, and will, propel them to an NBA title. If they weren't dangerous before, watch out for them when they're motivated. -Dylan Murphy

City Prosperity Initiative Side Event at Habitat III, Quito
City Prosperity Initiative Side Event at Habitat III, Quito
October 18th, 2016
Measuring the New Urban Agenda and SDGs: the City Prosperity Initiative (CPI)
On October 18th, 2016, UN-Habitat presented the City Prosperity Initiative (CPI) at the Habitat III Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development in Quito, Ecuador. The event discussed the components of the global framework of the CPI, presenting the approach and modalities of measurement of the CPI and its capacity to support more informed decision-making and showcasing current examples and results of its implementation in countries all over the world. The event also informed member states and governments on the need for a systematic monitoring and reporting system for the New Urban Agenda (NUA) and the Sustainable Development Goals indicators.
The panelists of the side event presented the results of the implementation of the CPI in different countries discussing how the introduction of CPI is generating evidence-based guidance for defining priorities and promoting political dialogue at the urban level.
The director of Infonavit, Mexico, presented the results of applying the CPI in 152 cities of Mexico and the use of the tool to influence their national housing strategy. CITE-Flacso from Ecuador presented the findings of the State of Ecuador Cities Report that used the CPI to set the baseline of 27 cities in the country. UN-Habitat Saudi Arabia discussed about their results and challenges of the implementation of the CPI in the Future of Cities Programme and mentioned the important steps that the country is taking to improve the situation.
The panelists agreed that the City Prosperity Initiative can be a useful tool for monitoring and follow up on the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). INFONAVIT committed to continue using the CPI as a tool to monitor the impact of their housing-financing policy in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and increase the base number of cities that are using the CPI currently. CITE-Flacso mentioned that they will continue to use the CPI as a baseline to monitor the implementation of the New Urban Agenda and the SDGs from the civil society perspective. All the panelists stressed the need to make information at urban level more accessible for creating an open platform for developing urban policies and assessing the progress of cities.

How to train your P.I. New
Postdoctoral Researchers are typically employed on relatively short-term contracts, and are funded by so-called 'soft money' to carry out a specific project for a PI. This creates an immediate tension. The specific project will have research objectives and deliverables that must be met to satisfy whoever is funding the work, and the PI will be assessed on whether these goals have been met. However, a postdoctoral researcher will often have their own research interests and also career objectives. A really successful postdoctoral project is one in which everyone's goals are met. The talk will cover a little about Dr Flewitt's own experience of this process from the perspective of both sides and try and draw out some general thoughts for discussion.
- All new University of Cambridge Postdoctoral Resarchers
- Further details regarding OPdA's eligibility criteria are available
- A brief personal background
- Types of goals that PIs and postdocs typically have and how these map out into a Venn diagram view
- Methods for achieving all goals
- Discussion
- To hear different views on what tensions can exist in meeting both a PI's and a postdoc's goals
- To discuss what practical steps can be taken to ensure that everyone feels satisfied at the end of a project

This thesis examines the modeling, analysis, and control system design issues for scramjet powered hypersonic vehicles. A nonlinear three degrees of freedom longitudinal model which includes aero-propulsion-elasticity effects was used for all analysis. This model is based upon classical compressible flow and Euler-Bernouli structural concepts. Higher fidelity computational fluid dynamics and finite elementmethods are needed formore precise intermediate and final evaluations. The methods presented within this thesis were shown to be useful for guiding initial control relevant design. The model was used to examine the vehicles static and dynamic characteristics over the vehicles trimmable region. The vehicle has significant longitudinal …

It's one of the latest high-end, but still affordable products that Marx offers to keep the clientele at his Cementon bait-and-tackle shop coming back.
Over at the display of lures, Marx can offer the latest in bass lures that will "outsell any other rubber on the market," he says.
You can get just about anything you need to catch the fish that swim the Lehigh Valley's rivers and lakes at Willie Marx's Bait and Tackle store.
But it's not so much the products that keep his shop on Main Street holding its own against the big retailers.
It's Marx himself.
The 53-year-old shop owner will special-order equipment, fix it and give you the best advice on where the fish are biting. He says his service is what keeps his shop going against the big-box stores.
That's a common theme among owners and managers of small, independent sporting goods stores that have persevered against the big retailers and online competitors.
Service keeps customers coming back.
A lifelong fisherman, Marx says his customers like the personal attention they get from a local businessman who shares their passion. Sometimes, before the spring fishing season begins, they'll come in the store to trade fish stories. That's when things are easy for Marx, whose son occasionally helps out behind the register.
Come the busy days of March, April and May, and Marx's enthusiasm for the business he's run since 1996 will be put to the test. That's when he says he's putting in long hours, working most days 6 a.m.-6 p.m.
It doesn't hurt, he says, that the Lehigh River -- right behind his shop -- is much less polluted than it had been years ago. "It's become one really decent fishery," Marx says.
The Lehigh Valley's natural resources, such as the river, and the personal attention its small-business owners can give to their customers, help keep independent sporting goods dealers alive in an increasingly difficult economy.
The most recent national statistics show that the number of single-store and multi-store full-line and specialty sports stores is on the decline, according to Larry Weindruch, director of communications for the National Sporting Goods Association. The numbers are from a 2002 retail census, he said, but it's difficult to imagine that the trends have changed, considering the growth of online sales and the recession.
Marx says he's bought out the inventories of around 10 small fishing shops that were going out of business in recent years.
Association research shows that sporting goods sales were a $53 billion industry in 2008, so somebody has to be selling and buying all that gear.
The one retail niche that has shown growth, Weindruch said, has been in specialty athletic footwear. The Lehigh Valley sports them, too.
The managers at Aardvark Sports Shop, in Bethlehem and Stroudsburg, take the same approach as Marx.
"Customer service is the top priority," Bethlehem store manager Brian Schafer said. Testimony to that is found on the Web site of the Lehigh Valley Road Runners, which links to only two equipment retailers -- The Finish Line Running Store in Emmaus and Aardvark.
Aardvark will supply hard-to-find track spikes, he said, and will offer discounts to local high school and college teams. Running-only brands such as Brooks and Saucony are among the leading brands at Aardvark, Schafer said. The adventurous soon will have the option of trying Five Fingers brand shoes, which wrap each toe and are designed to help people move as if they were barefoot.
Schafer said the store -- the Bethlehem shop first opened 26 years ago -- has managed to survive the economy and big retailers by making sure they know the customers' needs and the shoes they carry. "We try to fit people in the correct shoes and sizes and have personal experience with the shoes we sell," he said.
Weindruch said such agility and "intangibles" help independents find a lasting niche. "Even with these traits, local merchants are not immune from the ups and downs of the economy," he said, "but retailers who exhibit those traits have a better chance of success than those who don't."
It's no surprise that Nestor's, one of the Valley's best-known sporting goods stores, also has survived by adapting and serving its customers' desires.
The store has been known for its winter sports, camping and fishing lines, but owner Peter Nestor says biking, particularly trail biking, has become a growing part of the business.
He said service such as ski tuning and boot fitting don't bring in a large portion of the store's revenue, but the customer interaction is essential. "Our best asset is our staff," he said. "Guidance and product recommendations are very much a part of what keeps us going."
Like Schafer, Nestor was enthusiastic about a shoe product, the Aline Foot Bed, that is designed to help feet that have been pounded by years of running. It's the kind of innovation, he thinks, that can help all athletes, including aging baby boomers whose feet are worn out from years of running.
It's all good for health, good for business and good for fun.
"Sports are fun as long as [participants] are improving with it," Nestor said. "Otherwise, they'll get frustrated and bored with it. Our job is to open up people's worlds with it."

Hans Gál is arguably one of the most underrated, underperformed and forgotten composers of the twentieth century. Once a prolific composer in the 1920s and 1930s, Gál's career was cut short by the Nazi regime in 1933 when he was fired, and his works banned due to his Jewish heritage. Following the Second World War, his music was relegated as obsolete, belonging to a bygone era. Hans Gál is a perfect example of the intransigence, superficiality, and discrimination of the evolving musical fashion, and his life-story speaks to the misfortunes and persecution of the Jewish people in the mid-twentieth century. …

John Silvanus Wilson, Jr. currently serves as the executive director of the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). To accomplish the initiative's mission of strengthening the capacity of these institutions, he leads his team to work with the 105 HBCUs, the White House, 32 federal agencies, and the private corporate and philanthropic sectors. Their challenge is to ensure that HBCUs are a significant force in helping the nation to reach the goal set by President Barack Obama of having the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by the year 2020.
Before working with the White House Initiative, Wilson was an associate professor of higher education in the Graduate School of Education at the George Washington University (GWU). He also served as the executive dean of GWU's Virginia campus, and he helped to develop a strategic plan for the university. While at GWU, his primary research and teaching interests included transformative advancement and finance in higher education, the role of black colleges and universities, and identifying the most sensible paths aspiring institutions can take toward greater stability and prestige.
Wilson spent the first 16 years of his career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he ultimately served as director of foundation relations and assistant provost. He was a senior officer by the second of two capital campaigns, with goals of $700 million and $2 billion, respectively. As director, he more than doubled the productivity of the office he managed and reached a record annual revenue stream of over $50 million, well above the level required to reach the campaign sub-goal of $250 million.
Wilson received a bachelor's degree from Morehouse College, a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard University, and both a master's and a doctoral degree in administration, planning and social policy, also from Harvard University. While working at MIT, he served as a teaching fellow in Harvard University's Afro-American Studies Department as well as in Harvard's Graduate School of Education.
For 10 years, Wilson served as the president of the Greater Boston Morehouse College Alumni Association. In that role, he led an effort to raise over $.5 million toward scholarships and another $.5 million toward community outreach for his alumni chapter. Based in no small part on those achievements, he was awarded the coveted Benjamin Elijah Mays Leadership Award by his alma mater in 1998.
Wilson has recently served on the Board of Trustees of Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga.; as a consultant in the United Negro College Fund Institute for Capacity Building's HBCU Institutional Advancement Program; and on the Kresge Foundation's Black College Advisory Board. From 1996 through 2000, he served as chairman of the Alumni Council of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. He has served on the boards of both the Samaritans and the Andover Newton Theological School.

E-mails to Jill Kelley, general raised stalking fears
TAMPA -- The first nasty e-mail from an account named "Kelley Patrol" puzzled Tampa socialite Jill Kelley, but the fact the mystery e-mailer seemed to know her comings and goings is what alarmed her, according to a source close to the Kelleys.
That e-mail had arrived in the inbox of Gen. John Allen, commander of the military forces in Afghanistan, in May. It was unsigned, came from an account he didn't recognize named "Kelley Patrol" and warned him to stay away from Kelley.
It implied that contact with Kelley could "harm his reputation," said the source, who requested anonymity because of the ongoing FBI investigation. "It was an e-mail that was offensive."
Allen forwarded the e-mail to Kelley. Kelley, who shared the e-mail with her husband, Scott Kelley, was concerned that someone knew of her plans, said the person, who has direct knowledge of the events and has seen some of the e-mails.
That e-mail and subsequent ones triggered a chain of events that led to CIA Director David Petraeus' resignation after admitting an extramarital affair with biographer Paula Broadwell. Also, Allen's nomination to head U.S. European Command and command NATO forces in Europe has been put on hold because of questions about his e-mail exchanges with Kelley, a Tampa socialite with close ties to military leaders at MacDill Air Force Base.
The source, who provided the most detailed timeline yet of Kelley's actions, said the Kelleys received three to five more anonymous e-mails to their joint account in June. All had a similarly accusatory tone. One e-mail questioned why Kelley was spending time with Allen and Petraeus, a retired general who was Allen's predecessor in Afghanistan, the person said. Another asked whether Scott Kelley knew what his wife was doing.
The e-mails again implied that the sender had observed Jill Kelley and knew her plans, the source said.
"Again, the concern is not that someone is saying nasty things about Jill, but that someone is stalking them electronically and physically," the source said.
The concern that someone might be tracking her and the generals and knew of their upcoming trip to Washington prompted Kelley to call an FBI agent she had met more than a year previously at an FBI Citizens Academy. Kelley didn't act until the third e-mail, the source said.
The FBI agent, who has been identified as Frederick Humphries II, told her he considered the matter serious and would look into it. Kelley provided information to the FBI at the end of June.
Several more e-mails arrived at the beginning of July, but they stopped by August, the source said.
A second FBI agent contacted Kelley in late July or early August to follow up on the investigation, the source said. It was then, that Jill Kelley learned that Broadwell had authored the e-mails, the source said.
Broadwell used at least three different e-mail addresses to send the e-mails. Petraeus is referred to specifically in at least one e-mail, the source said.
"The e-mails reflected that the sender knew where people were or where they were going," the source said.
Kelley "didn't know her name" before then, although she did know about the biography, the source said.
"She didn't make the connection," the source said. "Petraeus never told Jill to this day that he was having any sort of relationship."

I hadn't checked the FCB for a while, since it's been mostly dormant for months, but I thought to do so Monday. I was greeted by a fresh post from last Friday that the blog is shutting down. Headline of the farewell post: "The End."
The blog began in late 2006 and covered Pasadena to Claremont, linking to or excerpting news articles and presenting rumor and opinion. Its founders, who were anonymous, called themselves Centinel and Publius, after the writers of the Federalist Papers. (Eye roll from LA Observed here.)
The blog kicked up some controversy. Accusations about the then-Pomona city manager led the city attorney to try to shut down the blog by sending a cease-and-desist letter.
FCB was popular, claiming in April 2008 to have received 10,000 comments — with one of mine the 10,000th.
I wrote: "My blog recently topped 1,000 comments, so the FC Blog must be 10 times better! Congratulations on the milestone." (Co-founder Centinel promised to "find some way to reward Mr. Allen," but never did.)
FCB folded in late 2008, a demise blamed on a server meltdown, then returned that December. Centinel wrote: "…we're back in action and ready to do what we do best: make unfounded accusations, piss off local officials, and imply that local government is going to hell in a handbasket."
But the return quickly fizzled. By mid-2009, FCB promised to resume daily posting in mid-August, which never happened.
In Friday's post, referring to the blog's long-absent founders, contributor The Real Zajac notes that "the enigmatic Centinel and Publius no longer return even my email. Technological problems with the server software impare even my power to post this goodbye. Were I an administrator I could continue this struggle myself. But, as I sit, I deem it time to throw in the towel once and for all."
A moment of silence, please, as the towel flutters to the ground.
