Training and testing: Not knowing the difference can paralyze a fire department
Firefighters not given the freedom to fail during training will engage in one of these three dangerous behaviors
During a recent training evolution, a newer firefighter, Pat, gets confused going through the SCBA maze and ends up tangled in the hoseline and gear. When Pat emerges from the building, observing firefighters immediately start to make jokes about the situation and before the day is over, Pat has a new and derogatory nickname that is likely to last a career.
On a different training exercise, an older firefighter, Sam, forgets a step in the process of extricating a dummy from a simulated car wreck. The result is a delay in completing the process that affects the entire crew.
Some at the training exercise talk about what happened with others on the department, speculating that Sam just "doesn't have it" anymore when it comes to more technical aspects of the job.
Everyone in the fire service understands the importance of training to maintain top performance and readiness on the job. For training to be most effective, it must allow people to experiment, try new things, and occasionally make mistakes and even fail.
Win at all costs
Unfortunately, this is not how a lot of fire service training is done. Among firefighters, training often becomes testing or a competition to be won or lost.
This approach to training may begin in recruit school, where new firefighters might be divided into teams that compete with one another throughout the course of the academy. If not controlled, this environment can lead to a culture where winning becomes more important than learning.
There is nothing inherently wrong with competition as one motivating factor. Firefighters are naturally competitive, and when managed appropriately, competition can be fun and drive people to higher levels of achievement.
The danger occurs when mistakes become a source of shame or stigma rather than a learning opportunity for all involved. When mistakes are not acceptable, people will go to extraordinary and often very damaging lengths to avoid them.
Quest for perfection
Consider the recent scandal among military officers responsible for safeguarding the launch codes at missile bases. At one base in Montana, 92 Air Force officers were suspended when it was discovered that crews routinely cheated on monthly certification tests.
There is no excuse for cheating, especially when the stakes are as high as whether nuclear missiles are launched or not, but it is worth digging deeper in this case. The subsequent investigation revealed that crews felt pressured to cheat because although the published passing standard on the tests was 90 percent, many supervisors made it clear that anything short of a perfect score on the tests would undermine a person's chances for promotion or other considerations.
In other words, mistakes were not an option. As a result, crews did what was necessary to meet that new implied standard. As the Air Force Secretary said as a result of the initial investigation, "They didn't cheat to pass. They cheated because they felt driven to get 100 percent."
In fact, controlled follow-up testing resulted in nearly all officers achieving at least 95 percent.
If people feel that mistakes will limit career options, lead to relentless ridicule, or result in shunning or disparate treatment, they will either find ways not to make them, cover them up if they are made, or will avoid situations where any mistake might occur. All three of these situations are bad for any organization.
3 results
When mistakes are not an option, for whatever reason, the first effect is that people will not take risks or try new things. This level of caution goes far beyond a healthy culture of safety to one where people are so fearful that they are paralyzed when action is needed.
Cheating and other dishonest behavior often follow. If people think they will be vilified for making mistakes, it is not surprising that they would try to cover up those mistakes or blame others for them.
The demand for perfection leads to a culture of fear that undermines the real value of training. As the Air Force Secretary said, "We have lost the distinction over time between training and testing."
It is in everyone's best interests for fire service leaders, from informal peer leaders to company officers to training chiefs, to reconsider how training is done.
- Is training a safe environment where people can try new things?
- Are training classes done in different ways to engage all types of learners?
- Is it always possible for people to ask questions or admit they don't know something?
- Are people allowed to make honest mistakes or even occasionally fail?
If the answer to any of these questions is no, then there could be the seeds of real problems within a department. It is critical that fire departments make training a safe place where mistakes can be made, so that mistakes are not made when there are lives on the line.

Microsoft has officially launched the public beta of its WorldWide Telescope, a rich Web application that brings together imagery from the best ground- and space-based observatories across the world to let people easily explore the night sky through their computers.
"The WorldWide Telescope is a powerful tool for science and education that makes it possible for everyone to explore the universe," said Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft. "By combining terabytes of incredible imagery and data with easy-to-use software for viewing and moving through all that information, the WorldWide Telescope opens the door to new ways to see and experience the wonders of space. Our hope is that it will inspire young people to explore astronomy and science, and help researchers in their quest to better understand the universe."
The application itself is a blend of software and Web 2.0 services created with the Microsoft Visual Experience Engine, which allows seamless panning and zooming around the heavens with rich image environments. WorldWide Telescope stitches together terabytes of high-resolution images of celestial bodies and displays them in a way that relates to their actual position in the sky. People can freely browse through the solar system, galaxy and beyond, or take advantage of a growing number of guided tours of the sky hosted by astronomers and educators at major universities and planetariums.
But the service goes well beyond the simple browsing of images. Users can choose which telescope they want to look through, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Center, the Spitzer Space Telescope or others. They can view the locations of planets in the night sky -- in the past, present or future. They can view the universe through different wavelengths of light to reveal hidden structures in other parts of the galaxy. Taken as a whole, the application provides a top-to-bottom view of the science of astronomy.
"Users can see the X-ray view of the sky, zoom into bright radiation clouds, and then cross-fade into the visible light view and discover the cloud remnants of a supernova explosion from a thousand years ago," said Roy Gould, a researcher at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "I believe this new creation from Microsoft will have a profound impact on the way we view the universe."
Microsoft's mission to make the universe accessible to everyone was begun years ago by renowned Microsoft Senior Researcher Jim Gray. WorldWide Telescope is built on top of Gray's pioneering development of large-scale, high-performance online databases including SkyServer and his contributions to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a project to map a large part of the Northern sky outside of the galaxy. Microsoft Research is releasing WorldWide Telescope as a service free of charge to the astronomy and education communities as a tribute to Gray with the hope that it will inspire and empower kids of all ages to explore and understand the universe in an unprecedented way.

Alec Baldwin apologizes for gay slur, sort of
Alec Baldwin has apologized for his Twitter outburst last week, in which he called a reporter a "toxic little queen" and suggested the man might enjoy a foot up his rear.
George Stark, of Britain's Daily Mail newspaper, accused Baldwin's wife Hilaria of tweeting during James Gandolfini's funeral. Baldwin responded by threatening the man's life, then deleting his own Twitter account.
Baldwin told website Gothamist he won't be returning to social media.
"Twitter began for me as a way to bypass the mainstream media and talk directly to my audience and say, 'Hey here's a show I'm doing, here's something I'm doing.' But I realized it's something I'm not really ... it certainly isn't worth the trouble," he said.
Neither is an impulsive and explosive temper.
According to the Los Angeles Times, Baldwin apologized to GLAAD, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.
"My ill-advised attack on George Stark of the Daily Mail had absolutely nothing to do with issues of anyone's sexual orientation," he said. "My anger was directed at Mr. Stark for blatantly lying and disseminating libelous information about my wife and her conduct at our friend's funeral service. As someone who fights against homophobia, I apologize."
Baldwin pointed out he'd worked for marriage equality and said he wouldn't advocate violence against people for being gay. Rich Ferrarro, the group's vice president of communications, said
"Alec Baldwin is making it clear that the intent behind his tweets does not excuse his language, especially at a time when there were 11 incidents of violence against gay men in New York City just last month. As we all work to end such senseless acts of violence, allies like Baldwin are right to use these moments to reinforce support for the community and LGBT equality."
According to the Times, some questioned why Baldwin was seemingly getting off so easy.
"Why does #AlecBaldwin get a pass when he uses gay slurs?" CNN's Anderson Cooper tweeted Friday. "If a conservative talked of beating up a 'queen' they would be vilified."
TMZ flew a headline saying "Alec Baldwin just got a 'Get Out of Homophobia Jail Free' card from the people at GLAAD ..."
Baldwin told Gothamist he didn't believe he used a gay slur, while sidestepping the part about threatening to "put my foot up your ( expletive), George Stark, but I'm sure you'd dig it too much."
"(T)he idea of me calling this guy a 'queen' and that being something that people thought is homophobic ... a queen to me has a different meaning," he said. "It's somebody who's just above. It doesn't have any necessarily sexual connotations. To me a queen ... I know women that act queeny, I know men that are straight that act queeny, and I know gay men that act queeny. It doesn't have to be a definite sexual connotation, or a homophobic connotation. To me those are people who think the rules don't apply to them. This guy could blatantly lie, I mean blatantly lie about my wife on the internet and there are just no rules that apply to him, but that's outrageous to me."
His rant, he said, was not "a call for violence against a specific person because they're gay, it's a call for violence against a person who lied about my wife."
Nice try.

The ivory-billed woodpecker was hunted to the point of extinction back in the 1930s, and ornithologists had long assumed it had died out entirely. But one amateur birdwatcher swears that he's seen them...and now he's out to get some proof.
Louisiana resident Michael Collins claims without hesitation that he's spotted these woodpeckers at least ten times, and he says he's got three videos to back up his claims. A researcher at Naval Research Laboratory-Stennis Space Center, Collins is a trained mathematician but only a hobbyist when it comes to ornithology, and he claims that has kept his research on the ivory-billed woodpecker out of professional journals.
Leaving aside the academic controversy, here's what we can say for sure. The ivory-billed woodpecker was once the largest woodpecker species in the United States, and the last confirmed sightings were in around 1940. In 2005, Cornell ornithologists published a video that showed intriguing but hardly definitive evidence of an ivory-billed sighting in Arkansas. Collins, aware that these woodpeckers had once lived in the Pearl River area of Louisiana, headed out on a kayak to search for evidence of them.
Collins has found some potentially compelling evidence for the woodpecker, as Natalie Wolchover of Life's Little Mysteries reports:
By analyzing the size of the bird relative to its surroundings in the video, he determined that its wingspan was approximately 30 inches – the historically recorded size of an ivory-billed woodpecker. Careful frame-by-frame measurements revealed a flight speed of 15.6 meters per second (35 mph) – approximately its purported speed, according to the historical record, and much faster than its relative the pileated woodpecker. Collins also analyzed the bird's coloring, and found that the pattern of white and black on its wings matched ivory-billed, not pileated.
The audio recordings, which he obtained in conjunction with the videos, also smack of the Lord God bird, which makes very distinct double knocks when pecking, and makes vocalizations somewhat like a blue jay's and nothing like a pileated woodpecker's. Collins used his mathematics expertise to construct sophisticated acoustical models of the bird's vocalizations. The audio and video evidence combined, he says, give firm support to his claim that ivory-billed woodpeckers live at Pearl River.
Taken together, it's fascinating evidence that maybe these woodpeckers really have survived in some of the remotest corners of the southern United States. And whatever Collins's actual relationship with the professional ornithology community - which you can read more about in the original article - there is a mounting consensus that these birds really are still out there, even if they are extremely hard to find and the evidence is not yet definitive. And on that point, Collins has a fairly straightforward message:
"All these politics are very damaging. We should be saying, 'OK, the bird exists, it's just very difficult to observe. Now where are they? Where do they live? How can we save them?"

Neville keen to celebrate Moyes
Everton's departing captain Phil Neville insists his final match at Goodison Park should be a celebration of manager David Moyes as he too is set to leave.
The Scot, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has agreed a six-year deal to become Sir Alex Ferguson's successor at Manchester United. After 11 years at the club, where he has regularly had the Toffees punching above their weight, Neville believes Moyes deserves to take the plaudits.
"With the events of this week for Everton, for me personally, the manager, players, supporters and chairman, it will be one of those special days we remember for the rest of our lives," said the 36-year-old, whose eight-year association with the club will end next weekend.
"Forget my situation, just in terms of the celebration of the manager and his achievements it is going to be an unbelievable day and one I can't wait to be involved in.
"I am actually a little bit glad (the attention will be on Moyes) in a way. I don't want any fuss, I've not deserved the fuss, I've just been a player. Better players than me have left this club and have achieved more than me at this club."
After 303 appearances for the Toffees, the end is almost upon Neville. He wanted to extend his playing career elsewhere after not being offered a new contract by Everton but there may yet be a twist in the tale as Moyes' move to Old Trafford throws up a number of possibilities.
Neville, who will help with England Under-21 coaching duties at this summer's European Championships, has not only been mentioned as a potential replacement for Moyes but as an assistant at United, where he started his career. But for the moment the midfielder is just thinking about showing his gratitude to the Everton faithful.
"You never think it is going to get to this stage where you get to a point where you are leaving a club you have loved playing for, have captained and have a real special space in your heart," he told evertontv.
"We are at that time on Sunday. I just want the opportunity to say thank you. I also want to put my feet on that turf again, to wave and clap and do a lap of honour with the players and my family.
"This has been an unbelievable period in my career. People say I've not won a trophy and, yes, that has been a big disappointment. But in terms of happiness, meeting friends, learning, growing up as a person this has been an incredible period."

Life as a Vapor: 31 Meditations for your Faith. Life Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It.
"You do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away" (James 4:14).
Living knowing that your life is a vapor is different than just living. Things here are passing away. You've got to hold on to what will stand. Savor what matters. This collection of thirty-one articles is full of that heart-longing after Christ that distinguishes Piper's preaching ministry. Readers will feel as though they have stumbled into a garden as they enter these pages. The Scripture cuts, Christ is exalted in God, and we worship Him.
Life Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It.
You will exist forever. You and God are both in the universe to stay—either as friends on His terms, or enemies on yours—which it will be is proven in this life. And this life is a vapor. Two seconds, and we will be gone.
In these thirty-one meditations, John Piper will connect you to a fresh understanding of God and a renewed relationship with Him. You'll find your faith stirred to make every day count for Christ when you consider life as a vapor.
Time is precious. We are fragile. Life is short. Eternity is long. Every minute counts. Oh, to be a faithful steward of the breath God has given me. Three texts resound in my ears: "Redeem the time" (Ephesians 5:16 ); "It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy" (1 Corinthians 4:2); "His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me" (1 Corinthians 15:10 ).
Surely God means for our minutes on earth to count for something significant. Paul said, "In the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain" (Philippians 2:16). In the same way, I have good hope from the Lord that my "labor is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58).
"Jesus Christ came into this world – this fleeting, fallen, fickle world – and did the greatest thing that will ever be done" (p. 12).
John Piper

So students from all over work together in teams at their respective school to design and build a LEGO Robot to accomplish a series of tasks. They have to program the actions and then automate the robot to navigate an obstacle course and accomplish certain missions for points. This is my first experience of this program via Elliott's participation. It turned out to be a wonderful experience. I volunteered to help out and ended up a Teamwork Judge for the competition.

A Sandwich A Day: The Heebster at Russ and Daughters
A new sandwich every day.
In this great city of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around New York. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.
What is a Heebster? I first encountered this Heebster ($8.45) on the sandwich menu at Russ and Daughters, below the Mensch but above the Super Heebster. This Heebster has multiple dimensions of spread: a full-bodied whitefish and baked salmon salad rests lightly on a bed of horseradish dill cream cheese. There are a few sandwich architecture issues; at the slightest bit of bagel pressure, everything comes smushing out the sides. But the point of Heebsterdom, if I can infer anything from the Hipster code of ethics, is all about messiness. Or, according to Lisa Alcalay Klug, who wrote "Heebster, Know Thyself," a Heebster is "much more than bagels and loxy. It's about moxie, about feeling yiddishe foxy!"
Yeah, what she said.

Who would have thought a Java-based game about creating a world out of 3D blocks would blow up like it did? But with more than 5 million copies sold and 25 million registered users, Minecraft is still going strong and spawning new ventures. Can its creator duplicate this kind of success? Well, we may soon find out because a new game is in the works.
Minecraft maker Markus "Notch" Persson revealed his plans for a new game, temporarily called "0x10c," that has roots in hard-core science fiction. Still in early development, 0x10c is based on the idea that a group of humans were accidentally put into a deep sleep in 1988 and are now finding themselves waking up in the year 281 474 976 712 644 AD in a parallel universe that's nearing extinction.
As one of the survivors, you, the player, will explore the multiverse and engage in mining, trading, and looting, as well as battling artificial intelligence and other players. Similar to Minecraft, user customization plays a key role in 0x10c, as players will have the ability to program an emulated 16-bit CPU to control their spaceships and perform other tasks.
Full specifications of the CPU will be released shortly, so those who feel like it can get an early start. In fact, that's how Persson plans to develop the entire game. "...like we did with Minecraft, we expect to release it early and let the players help me shape the game as it grows," Persson writes on the game's Web site.
He goes on to say that he will make sure the science in the game has some kind of plausible theoretical basis, but he wants to hear from users if there are any mistakes.
There's no word on when we might see the early release of 0x10c. Pricing is also up in the air, though it's likely there will be a monthly fee to play. You can keep tabs on the game development by following Persson on his Twitter account.
So what do you guys think? Is this something you'd be interested in playing?

LONDON (Reuters) - A child rape victim apologized on Friday to an ally of former prime minister Margaret Thatcher who had been falsely identified on the Internet as his abuser, after days of furious speculation of a high-level pedophile ring in Britain.
Steven Messham, who had told a flagship BBC show last week he was abused as a child in social care by a leading political figure in the late 1970s, said former Conservative Party treasurer Lord Alistair McAlpine was not among his attackers.
The BBC, reeling from Messham's disclosure, apologized "unreservedly for having broadcast this report", and froze all investigations on its Newsnight program for reassessment.
McAlpine, 70, who served as Conservative treasurer from 1975 to 1990, had earlier been forced to deny a flood of Internet allegations, saying he had been wrongly named in a "media frenzy" as the mystery pedophile.
From the BBC to the police and the National Health Service, some of Britain's most venerated institutions have grappled with claims they failed to protect children from Jimmy Savile, a former BBC presenter who was unveiled as a prolific child sex offender in October.
A November 2 report by Newsnight about child abuse involving an unidentified Conservative Party figure, and claims by a lawmaker about a pedophile ring with links to a former prime minister's aide, propelled the scandal firmly into political circles.
Prime Minister David Cameron commissioned an investigation after the BBC report, and a host of Conservative Party figures - including McAlpine - were named on Internet and social media sites as pedophiles whose alleged crimes had been covered up.
The blunder is another embarrassment for the state-funded broadcaster which is already facing awkward questions over why Newsnight axed an expose of Savile after his death last year.
"I want to offer my sincere and humble apologies to him and his family," Messham said of Lord McAlpine.
"After seeing a picture in the past hour of the individual concerned, this is not the person I identified by photograph presented to me by the police in the early 1990s, who told me the man in the photograph was Lord McAlpine."
McAlpine's lawyers said they would take "legal action against all media who have defamed Lord McAlpine's reputation and published defamatory statements".
"He's broken hearted over this, his family is very upset and he feels that, bearing in mind his health isn't that good, that this is a total shock to receive at his time in life," one of his lawyers, Andrew Reid, told the BBC.
Any allegations linking the scandal to the Conservatives could be damaging to Cameron's party - which rules in an uneasy coalition with centrists - and may tarnish the image of the era of Margaret Thatcher, prime minister from 1979 to 1990.
Cameron has warned that speculation about the identity of alleged abusers could become a "witch-hunt" of homosexuals.
"I have heard all sorts of names bandied around and what then tends to happen is, of course, that everyone then sits around and speculates about people, some of whom are alive, some of whom are dead," Cameron said during an interview on Thursday.
During the ITV television interview, Cameron was passed a piece of paper with the names of people identified on the Internet as being alleged child abusers. Some of the names were visible to viewers.
"There is a danger, if we are not careful, that this could turn into a sort of witch-hunt, particularly against people who are gay," Cameron said.
At least 10 inquiries have been ordered amid allegations of cover-ups at the BBC, the police and at senior levels of public life, including one into widescale assaults at children's care homes in North Wales where Messham was abused.
Messham's lawyer said his client would still co-operate with that inquiry.
"Mr. Messham has spent many years living with the memory of abhorrent abuse perpetrated by individuals whom were never brought to justice," lawyer Mike Gray said in a statement.
A major police investigation is also under way into claims by hundreds of victims that Savile and accomplices abused them. Detectives have questioned former glam rocker Gary Glitter and comedian Freddie Starr. Both men have been released on bail.

Yields on 10-year Treasuries hit the widely watched and psychologically significant 3 percent level Tuesday for the first time since January 2014, continuing a months-long climb that has been driven by expectations of rising inflation and the possibility that the Federal Reserve might quicken its pace of rate hikes in response.
Higher interest rates increase the cost of government borrowing, making it more expensive to service the growing national debt.
The cost of interest on the debt is projected to grow more quickly than any other major component of the federal budget, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which estimated this month that spending on interest payments will nearly triple by 2028, rising to $915 billion that year.
CBO projected that net interest costs will grow larger than the defense budget by 2023 and exceed non-defense spending by 2025.
Politico's Ben White puts the rising Treasury rate in long-term perspective:
Yes the 10-year yield is climbing and 3 percent is a big deal. But let's not get crazy. Here's where we are and where we've been the last 50 years. It's not exactly 1981. pic.twitter.com/ZuN3PfzR4t— Ben White (@morningmoneyben) April 24, 2018

Another Can Of Hairspray On Its Way
Get ready for another shot of Hairspray.
New Line Cinema has made a deal with Hairspray creator John Waters to write a treatment for a sequel to summer 2007's hit musical feature.
Planning to return are director-choreographer Adam Shankman, producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron and Tony-winning songwriters Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who will write new songs for the film.
No cast has been engaged yet, and none of the stars of Hairspray had sequel options. But the studio hopes to reunite the original cast in a film that will be ready for release by Warner Bros. in mid-July 2010.
Hairspray grossed more than $200 million worldwide and served up a strong-selling DVD and soundtrack album. The mid-July target would mirror the release of the original, which was replicated this summer by Mamma Mia!
Original starred John Travolta (dolled up in a fat suit to play Edna), Christopher Walken and Nikki Blonsky as well as Zac Efron, Queen Latifah, Michelle Pfeiffer, James Marsden, Amanda Bynes, Elijah Kelley and Allison Janney.
Aim is to pick up the Baltimore saga of the Turnblad family after the resolution of the first film, which was set in 1962.
"I never thought of musicals as franchises, but it certainly worked with High School Musical, and the idea of working with that cast again, and creating new material and music, is a dream come true," Shankman told Daily Variety. "John (Waters) has such an original and extraordinary voice; we all can't wait to see what he has come up with."
There won't be movement on hiring a screenwriter until Waters completes his work. Leslie Dixon scripted the original.

The name of this region should at least give you a clue to what's ahead. The blue waters of the Thousand Islands-Seaway region offer some of the greatest freshwater sport fishing in the world. Lake Ontario is a great place to catch Pacific salmon introduced to its waters several decades ago. Flowing 700 miles from Lake Ontario to the ocean, the St. Lawrence River is a top spot for bass and pike fishing. Area fishing guides can show you the best places to drop your line.
Day One
Seaway Trail Discovery Center
Follow the Seaway Trail signs to the Seaway Trail Discovery Center in Sackets Harbor, to learn about local history and discover hundreds of miles of scenic coastline. The scenic byway is dotted with quaint villages, historic sites, and lighthouses. Pick up some nautical souvenirs in the gift shop, and then launch your own voyage of discovery.
Long Point State Park
This small park is on a peninsula facing Chaumont Bay on Lake Ontario. Nearly surrounded by water, the park guarantees spectacular views, even if you're sticking to the shoreline. Aside from black bass fishing, Lake Ontario has become a destination for fishing Pacific Coho salmon introduced here several decades ago. If you like camping, stick around. ReserveAmerica named Long Point one of the Top 100 campgrounds in the nation.
Day Two
Tibbetts Point Lighthouse
At Cape Vincent, this historic lighthouse stands where Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River meet. Take a look through the lighthouse telescope to survey the surrounding waterways and islands. You can even spend the night there. The Victorian-era lightkeeper's quarters have been converted to a hostel, with family rooms available by reservation. Explore the Lighthouse Museum at the visitor's center next door and head into the village to see the Cape Vincent Historical Museum and the Cape Vincent Aquarium.
Cedar Point State Park
This park overlooks the St. Lawrence River, which was the site of a former world-record catch for muskellunge. Muskie hunters often troll along the edges of shoals in the area. Since catching a musky can be demanding and require specialized knowledge, a guide service might come in handy. The sandy beach here offers a great place to swim in summer, and there are docks, a fishing pier, and picnic grounds.
Day Three
Antique Boat Museum
In Clayton, you can see a collection of more than 100 classic and antique wooden boats, as well as exhibits on river life. Visit the museum docks to board a 106-foot Gilded Age houseboat, rent (and row) a St. Lawrence skiff, or take a 45-minute ride in a triple cockpit runabout speedboat. Events include regattas, children's activities, and even boat-building classes.
Wellesley Island State Park
Wellesley Island is known as one of the better spots for largemouth bass on the St. Lawrence River. Fish for them in shallow weedy bays and along the edges of shoals. The park is also home to the 600-acre Minna Anthony Common Nature Center, museum, butterfly house and shoreline trails. The park offers a full-service marina, boat launches, excellent canoeing and kayaking, and a sandy beach that's great for swimming.
Day Four
Keewaydin State Park
The park sits on the St. Lawrence River and is known for some of the best fishing in the area. The waters around Alexandria Bay are bountiful homes to northern pike, walleye, smallmouth bass, and muskellunge. Over 48 campsites overlook the river.

I'm talking about an action game with no upper score limit and no way to verify the score on the server by replaying moves etc.
What I really need is the strongest encryption possible in Flash/PHP, and a way to prevent people calling the PHP page other than through my Flash file. I have tried some simple methods in the past of making multiple calls for a single score and completing a checksum / fibonacci sequence etc, and also obfuscating the SWF with Amayeta SWF Encrypt, but they were all hacked eventually.
Thanks to StackOverflow responses I have now found some more info from Adobe - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/secure_swf_apps_12.html and https://github.com/mikechambers/as3corelib - which I think I can use for the encryption. Not sure this will get me around CheatEngine though.
I need to know the best solutions for both AS2 and AS3, if they are different.
The main problems seem to be things like TamperData and LiveHTTP headers, but I understand there are more advanced hacking tools as well - like CheatEngine (thanks Mark Webster)

1942 : Allies confer secretly about Operation Torch1942 : Allies confer secretly about Operation Torch
On this day in 1942, American Maj. Gen. Mark Clark meets in Algeria with French officials loyal to the Allied cause, as well as Resistance fighters, regarding the launch of Operation Torch, the first Allied amphibious landing of the war.
It was decided as early as Christmas 1941, at the Arcadia Conference in Washington, that an Allied offensive against Rommel and the German army in North Africa would be launched. The details were debated for months, as American government officials objected to an early British operation, nicknamed Gymnast, which was deemed costly and ineffective-and was scrapped. The American chiefs of staff were also anxious to engage the Germans in Europe-not Africa. An ultimatum was even proposed: Unless the British supported an Allied cross-Channel attack, that is, an invasion of France, the United States would turn its attention to the Pacific and maintain only a defensive posture toward Germany. President Roosevelt was unwilling to issue such an ultimatum-and the chiefs of staff were ordered to work out a compromise operation for North Africa.
Operation Torch was that compromise. A secret meeting in Algiers, which was also one of the intended landing targets, was planned by an American diplomat stationed in North Africa. General Clark and members of his staff flew to Gibraltar and were then taken to Algiers via British submarine. Meeting with French army officers and Resistance fighters, Clark laid out the plan for the American landing and opened the discussion for who would be entrusted with leading the French forces. Gen. Charles De Gaulle, so instrumental in the organization of Resistance forces, was ruled out, as he would prove antagonistic to those French soldiers and officers still loyal to Petain and Vichy France, but who might be encouraged to turn on their German masters when supported by a massive Allied operation. It was finally agreed that Gen. Henri Giraud would lead the African French, as he had support in both the Vichy and Free French camps.
The meeting was interrupted at one point by the arrival of French police loyal to the Vichy government. Clark and company had to hide out in a nearby wine cellar. The conference resumed the next day--and plans for bringing the "Torch" of freedom to French North Africa took final shape.

The trouble is, beyond that, there really isn't that much new under the hood.
Avengers, assemble for our video review!
Ultimate Alliance 2 actually combines two of Marvel's best, fairly recent storylines -- Secret War and Civil War. The game opens with SHIELD Badass Nick Fury leading Captain America, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Iron Man into Latveria to take down the new prime minister. Seems even though she's been making nice with the U.S. brass, Lucia von Bardas has really been supplying villains with deadly technology. Trouble is, Fury didn't mention to the supers that this wasn't a government-sanctioned mission, so when Latveria retaliates by attacking New York, people kind of flip out about the team's "Secret War."With feathers ruffled over the terror attack, people begin kicking around the idea of a superhero registration act that would require capes to register with the government, give up their secret identities, and take orders from commanders and such. Anyone who refuses to register would be a criminal, and suddenly, we have the superhero world split in two -- there are the people ready to fall in line with the law and those ready to go underground and fight it.
You'll play through all of this with a superhero squad of your choosing. If you somehow missed the first three games using this setup, you'll constantly be in control of a team of four characters. At any time, you can switch which member of the team you're controlling, and most of the time you can swap in and out any number of the 24 heroes and villains there are to unlock in the game -- folks like Venom, Hulk, Daredevil, Penance, Ms. Marvel, and more
Putting a wrinkle in this formula is the fact that Civil War breaks the hero community in two. There's going to come a point when you have to decide if you want to give up your identity and register with the government or if you want to go be a fugitive. When you make that choice, you loose access to a certain number of heroes. Captain America, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist are always Anti-Reg, so if you side with Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic, Cap and company are locked out and vice versa.
The typical MUA2 level has you and your other three teammates storming though an environment from an elevated, behind-the-back perspective and tearing everything apart -- boxes, cars, and anything else you can find usually hemorrhages experience points and health when destroyed, so get to smashing. Occasionally, you'll run into bad guys and use the moves you've been perfecting on inanimate objects on them. Now, there are normal button commands such as light attack, heavy attack, jump and grab, but the real fireworks come when you combine those buttons with the superpower shoulder button.
When you start up the title, most characters come armed with two superpowers, but as you play and level-up the characters, you'll unlock the two additional ones. These four moves are the ones that make me feel like the hero I'm playing as -- Iron Man's repulsor blasts, Spidey firing off a ton of web balls, Iceman creating ice spikes, and so on. Not every one of them is a winner (Captain America just running into people isn't going to turn heads), but the majority of these are really cool. Watching Deadpool plant his feet, cross his wrists and blast fools until he runs out of superpower juice is a sight to behold.

FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - Alberta occupational health and safety officers are investigating the death of an employee at the Suncor (TSX:SU) oilsands development in northern Alberta.
Government spokesman Barrie Harrison says the man who died Sunday was a 27-year-old Suncor electrician who was working near electrical panels on the worksite.
His identity and the official cause of his death have not been released.
Suncor has said the man was severely injured and was pronounced dead in hospital in Fort McMurray.
Investigators have issued a stop-use order for the electrical panels as they try to determine what happened.
They will be looking to see if there was an equipment failure, and are reviewing what the man was doing, the company's work rules and what kind of training he had.
"We will be looking at every possible angle," Harrison said.
"We owe that not just to this worker, but to his co-workers and his family and friends. We want to find out what happened in this circumstance so it doesn't happen again."
This is the second death of a Suncor employee at the worksite this year.
In January, tailings operator Jerry Cooper's body was found submerged in a sand dump at the worksite.
Suncor officials were not available for comment Monday.

The Hillsborough charity single has nudged ahead of X Factor winner James Arthur in the race for the Christmas number one.
James took a surprise early lead yesterday in a tight battle for the festive top spot by a margin of just 3,000 copies.
However, the star-studded Hillsborough track, recorded under the name of The Justice Collective, now has the edge with a 3,400 lead.
The single – a cover of The Hollies hit He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother – features names such as Robbie Williams and Sir Paul McCartney.
It has now sold around 109,700 copies, to Arthur's 106,300, according to figures from the Official Charts Company.
In a celebrated battle for the top of the charts in 2009 Rage Against The Machine's Killing In The Name and Joe McElderry's The Climb were in a tight race but the two records were at least 8,000 sales apart during the week and the rock act finally finished 52,000 copies ahead.
Official Charts Company managing director Martin Talbot said: "This really is the closest number one battle we can remember. There is a long way to go yet – but this one looks like going down to the wire."
The number one will be revealed during the chart countdown on Sunday on Radio 1.
Meanwhile, campaigners for a tax break on sales of the Hillsborough song have been given good news by Chancellor George Osborne, who confirmed he would effectively waive VAT on it.

very nice! i want to make this for my girlfriend. Did you nail the packing flats together or just stack them on top of each other and have the weight keep them in place? How did you apply the mdf boards? Also, did you put an mdf board underneath? And was there anything under the botton mdf board?
- November 26, 2009 at 4:28 PM

what type of paint did you use on the mdf and the pallet? any protective paint/product used on top of the finish?

Hi, I love this coffee table. It is actually what I've been looking for, but have been too cheap to buy similar versions. I want to make it and have a few questions. What are the dimensions of your table? Did you cut the pallets down so that the wood overhung on the edges?
Thanks for your help ahead of time.
- August 11, 2010 at 8:28 PM
FANTASTIC! I love how this turned out and I linked it to my coffee tables post too, it's just great!

What a great idea! I was looking for shipping pallets for another project, but I wasn't sure about how to get them. Can you just take the ones behind the stores or do you have to ask? (I am down with dumpster diving if I have to! lol)

I ditto all the questions asked on here... have you answered them anywhere yet?
- July 13, 2011 at 8:58 PM
- Joanna B said...
I emailed everyone whose email addresses were available in the comments, but for the rest of you...The mdf boards are screwed to the top and the bottom of the table, and on the bottom, I added metal rollers to make the table easy to move. I picked clean pallets, so they did not need major cleaning, and painted them with brown acrylic paint. The mdf top is painted black with a thin coat of varnish over it. I totally dumpster dived, and even asked an employee to help me put them in my car! :-) I did have to cut down the mdf to fit, and I left a two inch overhang on all sides. It's totally easy, trust me!
- July 30, 2011 at 11:22 PM
- Rachael said...
I am absolutely head over heels for this table! I have the mdf board and I picked up 5 pallets. No lie, I am sitting in my driveway RIGHT NOW, ready to put together my new coffee table. One problem, I have NO CLUE how to get this pile of pallets to look like your masterpiece. LOL. Could you please email me how you did this to email@example.com? I'm curious if you had to take the pallets apart and rebuild it?

This Poem came from Rhymes of Bible Doctrine (and other poems) written in 1949 by Benj. F. Dotson. I was given the booklet by my good friend, Dr. Dennis J. Brown. jnh
The new year, January one,
Tells us another year's begun;
Adding one more span to the years,
Before the age-end soon appears;
Old nineteen hundred forty-eight,
Brought us so many things of fate;
The world's outlook is not so bright,
The peace we hope is not in sight.
Nations are seething and in fear,
Worrying much that war is near;
They do not have that peace and calm,
For fear of the atomic bomb;
They fear
they say; America
That is war we will lead the way;
They should know war of aggression,
Would ne'er be waged by this nation.
For wars of ev'ry kind to cease;
That nations should dwell together,
Doing good to one another;
Laying aside all suspicion,
Ev'ry act of indiscretion;
Live in harmony day by day,
We're sure this is the Bible way.
But it won't be, we're sad to tell,
It would defeat a devil's hell;
'Twould also contradict the word,
Its revelations of the sword;
The age-end is too close in war,
Its Tribulation's exit door;
It will bring the millennium,
That glorious age yet to come.
Cheer up, sad heart, lift up thy head,
There is One risen from the dead;
His soon return we are assured,
To reward those who have endured
The trials and sufferings for His sake,
Oh, let us for Him undertake;
His oft reproaches gladly bear,
Until we meet Him in the air.
By Benj. F. Dotson, D.D., Litt. D.

A game as sexy and strange as Catherine deserves a special edition that accurately reflects the game's exploration of the pleasures and horrors of love. So Atlus is stuffing underwear into a pizza box and delivering it to your local game store on July 26.
Giving Aksys' Really Naughty Limited Edition of Record of Agarest War a run for its money, the Love is Over deluxe edition of Catherine for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 at least aims at keeping gamers fully clothed. That's why it includes both a t-shirt and boxer shorts, attire acceptable at convenience stores around the country, at least they never say anything to me about it.
It's also suitable attire for the bedroom, where you can take full advantage of the Catherine-covered pillowcase however you see fit.
All of this and the game itself are packed inside a pizza delivery box from the Stray Sheep bar, one of the game's central locations. It'll run you $79.99, $20 more than the standard edition, but then the standard edition doesn't come with underwear, now does it.
Fans preordering Catherine ahead of its July 26 release date will also receive a lovely art book and soundtrack CD, whether or not they opt for the more expensive edition.
Check out the gallery for shots of the preorder bonuses and Love is Over special edition of Catherine.

JPSO: Marrero thieves hauled items away in shopping carts
Call Crimestoppers with information: 504-822-1111
Two people seen in surveillance video are being sought in connection with a theft that happened at a business in Marrero on April 9.
Authorities in Jefferson Parish said the incident happened about 10 p.m. in the 4800 block of Lapalco Boulevard.
About $7,000 worth of merchandise was taken from the business, investigators said.
Video surveillance from the store shows a man and woman walking out of the garden center with shopping carts, transporting the stolen items.
After getting the items outside, the Sheriff's Office said, the two placed the loot in a light-colored Chevrolet Suburban.
The woman seen in the surveillance photos has a large tattoo on her left wrist. Authorities said the tattoo appears to be the design of a sun in the style of a circle with points extending from the edge of the circle.
The man is wearing a black T-shirt with what appeared to be a sombrero and a flag on the front.
Anyone with information is asked to call JPSO Detective Ray Gorman at 504-875-3334, Detective Lisa Lunsford at 504-875-3333 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.

* 49ers set record for biggest comeback in NFC title game
* Falcons held scoreless in second half of defeat (Adds quotes, details, opponents in Super Bowl)
By Simon Evans
ATLANTA, Jan 20 (Reuters) - The San Francisco 49ers battled back from a 17-0 deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 28-24 on Sunday and book their first trip to the Super Bowl in 18 years where they will face the Baltimore Ravens.
Running back Frank Gore scored two unanswered second half touchdowns as the 49ers, who came up one win short of reaching last year's Super Bowl, booked their place in the Feb. 3 decider in New Orleans.
Second year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, in just his ninth start, delivered a composed all-round display, throwing for 233 yards and one touchdown while tight end Vernon Davis had 106 yards receiving for a San Francisco team which never lost faith despite falling so far behind.
"We are tough, it is hard to break us. We aren't going to give up," said Gore. "We will keep fighting into the fourth quarter and until the game (clock) hits double zero."
The victory was a record comeback for a team in an NFC Championship game and capped a pulsating encounter at a packed Georgia Dome.
The 49ers, who had losing records in seven of the eight seasons before Jim Harbaugh took over as head coach last year, now have a chance to win a record-eqalling sixth Lombardi Trophy, tying the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Backed by a raucous home crowd making a thundering noise in the roofed stadium, Atlanta dominated at the outset with quarterback Matt Ryan leading an 80-yard opening drive that culminated in a 46-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Julio Jones.
After a 35-yard Matt Bryant field goal for Atlanta, the San Francisco defense was clearly struggling as Ryan and Jones again combined to deadly effect - the receiver showing outstanding agility to grab a 20-yard touchdown pass deep in the left corner as the Falcons built a 17-0 lead.
"We just knew we had to score on that next drive. You can't let a team like this get any more than that," said Kaepernick.
The 49ers responded with LaMichael James slicing his way 15 yards through the Falcons' defense to reduce the deficit to 10 points midway through the second quarter.
Suddenly San Francisco's offense was alive, with Kaepernick starting to look like the mobile quarterback who tore apart the Green Bay Packers last week and turning to recently under-used Davis.
The 49ers pulled to within three points with Davis grabbing a perfectly weighted four-yard touchdown pass with just under two minutes to play in the first half.
Ryan, however responded in perfect fashion with an 80-yard scoring drive in just 90 seconds, ending with a pinpoint 10-yard pass to veteran Tony Gonzalez in the end zone as Atlanta went into the half with a 24-14 lead.
The second half opened with another touchdown as Gore burst five yards to complete a seven-play, 82-yard drive.
After throwing an interception that didn't result in a score, Ryan then gave up another turnover with a fumble and once again got away with it - Michael Crabtree fumbling as he dove towards the end zone and was hit by Dunta Robinson. William Moore recovered the ball for the Falcons.
San Francisco grabbed the lead though with Gore powering through with a nine yard touchdown run to make it 28-24 to the visitors with 8:23 on the clock.
Atlanta had a late chance to regain the lead but Ryan, struggling with a shoulder injury, and missing injured running back Michael Turner, was unable to convert on a fourth and four.
"This is a group of men who have done an outstanding job but we just didn't get it done today," Atlanta head coach Mike Smith told Fox Sports.
"We didn't make the plays when we had the opportunities there were ebbs and flows and changes in momentum and they made more plays then we did." (Editing by Frank Pingue and Julian Linden)
