Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. It was referred to as Hoover Dam after President Herbert Hoover in bills passed by Congress during its construction, but was named Boulder Dam by the Roosevelt administration. The Hoover Dam name was restored by Congress in 1947.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium called Six Companies, Inc., which began construction of the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume when full. The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction; nearly a million people tour the dam each year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened.

Super cool experience! Actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be. The views were breathtaking. The gift shop there isn't too bad either. I got a cute shirt that wasn't too expensive. Not a place I'd thought would be cool, but I really liked it 👍

School Specialty Reports Fiscal 2009 Third Quarter and Year-to-Date Results | School Specialty, Inc.
GREENVILLE, Wis., Feb. 19, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- School Specialty (Nasdaq:SCHS), a leading education company providing supplemental learning products to the preK-12 market, today reported fiscal 2009 third quarter and year-to-date financial results. The company reported revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 of $121.7 million, a 9.7 percent decline from the prior year's third quarter. Loss per share from continuing operations in the current year's third quarter was $1.15 per share, reflecting the seasonally low period for educational product sales, as compared to a $0.95 loss per share in last year's third quarter. Restructuring charges and the impact of share repurchases have contributed $0.04 and $0.10 per share, respectively, to the decline from the prior year.
The company generated $93.4 million of free cash flow in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to $70.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008, an increase of $23.1 million. The company has utilized its free cash flow to reduce its outstanding debt by approximately $85 million during fiscal 2009.
Chief Executive Officer David J. Vander Zanden said he's optimistic that the federal economic stimulus aid for education will work to loosen education spending. "Schools have been very cautious in their spending, preserving their remaining budgets as they await decisions on next year's state education funding," noted Vander Zanden. "The states now have certainty as to the benefits of President Obama's economic stimulus package, and the governors' proposed budgets will be released over the next few weeks. We expect state education funding to improve significantly in these proposed budgets as compared to the states' previously released budget estimates. The stimulus funds should result in higher levels of school spending beginning in our first quarter. Our previously announced $20 million cost saving program is exceeding target and our associates are making great progress in driving cost savings, pursuing revenue growth opportunities, and generating strong cash flow."
Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 was $121.7 million, a 9.7 percent decrease from fiscal 2008's third quarter revenue of $134.8 million. Specialty segment revenue was down $8.3 million, or 10.6 percent, from $78.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $70.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Essentials segment revenue was down 9.2 percent from $57.5 million in last year's third quarter to $52.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The decreases in both segments were attributable to a combination of reductions and delays in spending by school districts as state budgetary concerns and the ongoing global economic slowdown have resulted in uncertainty as to the education funding levels in the upcoming state budget cycles.
Gross profit was $43.3 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009 compared with $51.7 million in last year's third quarter. Gross margin declined 270 basis points from 38.3 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to 35.6 percent in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Specialty segment gross margin in this year's third quarter declined 430 basis points from the third quarter of last year. Approximately 160 basis points of the decline was due to product mix within the segment, particularly related to the reduction in higher margin curriculum-based revenue. The remaining decline is due primarily to a combination of Science product promotions impacting the third quarter and underabsorption of overhead costs due to lower volume. Essentials segment gross margin declined 50 basis points from the third quarter of last year. The decline in the Essentials gross margin was due to a higher mix of furniture, which historically has carried lower gross margins as the product is shipped direct from vendors.
As of the close of third quarter, the company has completed its pricing adjustments and cost negotiations with vendors that should result in future quarterly gross margin improvements, when compared with the prior year's comparable quarters.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses decreased $3.3 million from $76.6 million, or 56.8 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2008 to $73.3 million, or 60.2 percent of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. SG&A in the current year's third quarter included a $1.3 million restructuring charge, or $0.04 per share, associated with the cost reduction efforts. The restructuring charge has been more than offset by both volume-related cost savings and operational efficiencies in transportation and warehousing costs, savings from cost reductions, and a reduction in performance-based compensation costs.
The operating loss for the quarter was $30.0 million, including the restructuring charge of $1.3 million, compared to an operating loss of $24.9 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008. The loss from continuing operations was $21.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, including the $1.3 million restructuring charge, as compared to a loss of $19.0 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2008.
Net loss was $21.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2009, compared to a net loss of $20.3 million in fiscal 2008, which also included a net of tax loss of $1.2 million, or $0.06 loss per diluted share, for the discontinued School Specialty Media business sold during fiscal 2008. The company's stock repurchases over the past year have increased fiscal 2009's third quarter loss per share by approximately $0.10.
Revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was $890.8 million, down $23.5 million, or 2.6 percent, from $914.3 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. This reduction was attributable to an expected $25 million decline in state adoptions of the company's curriculum-based products during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Excluding state adoption revenue, revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was flat as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Specialty segment revenue declined $28.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $535.3 million in fiscal 2008's first nine months to $506.4 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2009. Excluding state adoption revenue, Specialty revenue declined 0.8 percent in the first nine months of this year. The company believes the comparison is meaningful because state adoption revenue will have significant variability between years due to the cyclical nature of curriculum adoptions, which are based on schedules established by individual states. The Essentials segment revenue for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 grew 1.0 percent from $383.8 million to $387.7 million. This increase was attributable primarily to increased furniture orders associated with school construction projects.
Gross margin declined by 180 basis points in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008, from 42.9 percent to 41.1 percent. Approximately 40 basis points of the decline in gross margin was related to a higher mix of revenue from Essentials. Specialty segment gross margin declined 110 basis points from the first nine months of fiscal 2008 to the first nine months of fiscal 2009. Approximately 50 basis points of the decrease in Specialty segment gross margin is related to changes in product mix due primarily to the reduction in higher-margin curriculum adoption revenue. Essentials gross margin declined 190 basis points for the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Of the decrease, 60 basis points is attributable to a change in product mix due to increased furniture sales, with the remainder due to commodity cost increases and transportation cost increases.
SG&A expenses decreased $2.0 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2009 to $274.4 million, or 30.8 percent of revenue, from $276.4 million, or 30.2 percent of revenue, in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. SG&A expenses in fiscal 2009 included a $3.0 million restructuring charge related to the Lyons, NY distribution center closing as well as other one-time cost reduction efforts. Higher average transportation costs in fiscal 2009's first nine months have been offset by reductions in variable selling costs associated with state adoption revenue, as well as reduced performance-based variable compensation costs.
Operating income in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 was 10.3 percent of revenue as compared to 12.7 percent of revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2008. Earnings from continuing operations decreased 21.6 percent to $45.8 million, including the $3.0 million restructuring charge, in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 from $58.5 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2008.
Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations decreased 12.9 percent from $2.78 in fiscal 2008 to $2.42 in fiscal 2009, which included $0.10 per diluted share in restructuring charges. The percentage decline in diluted earnings per share was less than the percentage decline in income from continuing operations due to the reduction in the shares outstanding associated with share repurchases over the past year. The incremental diluted earnings per share in the first nine months of fiscal 2009 as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2008 due to the share repurchases was approximately $0.15 per share.
During the first quarter of fiscal 2009 the company repurchased 497,600 shares for a net purchase price of $15.3 million. The company did not purchase any shares during the second and third quarters. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2009, the company has remaining authority to purchase $34.7 million of outstanding common stock.
School Specialty is maintaining its fiscal 2009 free cash flow guidance of $70 million to $80 million. This range excludes approximately $11 million of additional free cash flow expected to be received in fiscal 2009 related to cash tax savings from the sale of School Specialty Media in late fiscal 2008. The company is reducing its prior revenue guidance to a range of $1,040 million to $1,055 million from a range of $1,065 million to $1,080 million, and expects total year state adoption revenue to decline by $27 million compared to fiscal 2008. Previous guidance for diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $2.04 to $2.24 per share, which excluded an estimated restructuring charge of $0.14 per share, is being lowered to a range of $1.80 to $1.95, which excludes a restructuring charge of approximately $0.14 per share for the year.
School Specialty will host a conference call to discuss its fiscal 2009 third quarter financial results. The conference call begins today, February 19, at 10:00 a.m. Central (11:00 a.m. Eastern). The call will be simultaneously broadcast in the Investor Information section of the School Specialty web site at www.schoolspecialty.com, and a replay of the call will be available.

Indian TV What's Happenin'
TV Heartthrob Karan Kundra bags lead film role
After winning over thousands of hearts as Arjun Punj in the hit television show Kitani Mohabbat Hai, Karan Kundra has taken the leap from the small screen to the big screen as he begins shooting for an upcoming Punjabi film.
Titled 'Pure Punjabi', the movie tells the story of four close friends in Punjab who have a passion for music and is described by the makers as a totally youth-come-family orientated musical drama.
Alongside Karan, the film stars Manjot Singh (Oye Lucky Lucky Oye fame), Nav Bajwa, Kanwar Zorawar Singh, Sangram Singh (Khatron Ke khiladi fame), Dhriti Saharan, Deepak Raja, Sukhbir Singh, Narinder Jattu, Paamjot Singh and Harpal Singh.
It is being made by the same producers of 'Mel Karra De Rabba', 'Jinhe Mera Dil Luteya' and 'Yaar Anmulle'.
Karan's popularity soared to new heights after his first appearance on TV and constant persistance from his fans saw Kitani Mohabbat Hai become the first Indian daily soap to be brought back on television for a second season due to public demand.
Fans will also be looking forward to seeing Karan bust a few moves in the film after seeing him participate in dance reality show 'Zara Nachke Dikha' alongside co-star Kritika Kamra.

LEADERSHIP, FEDERAL COURT, AND FORENSIC ODONTOLOGY - 014 -
This week on The Writer's Detective Bureau: Leadership, Federal Court, and Forensic Odontology.
I'm Adam Richardson and this is The Writer's Detective Bureau.
Welcome to episode number 14 of The Writer's Detective Bureau, the podcast dedicated to helping authors and screenwriters write professional quality crime-related fiction.
A few weeks ago, Joanna Penn on The Creative Penn podcast was talking about Patreon. She said, "I think patronage is one of the most powerful things that you can do to support creators that you want to continue hearing from. It's one of those ways that you can support people and encourage them to do the things that are either useful to you or just putting good stuff in the world."
Regardless of whether you support me on Patreon, I absolutely think you, as a creator of stories, should look into setting up your own Patreon account. You can learn more at writersdetective.com/patreon.
And as always, thanks to my patrons Joan Raymond, Guy Alton, Natasha Bajerma, Natalie Barelli, Joe Trent, Siobhan Pope, Leah Cutter, and Kim Hunt Harris. They support me, and I hope you will support them as well. You can find links to their author websites in the show notes by going to writersdetective.com/14.
I recorded this episode last week while out on the road, which I'll talk about here in a little bit, but I should've published it last Friday. But like many things we try to accomplish, life sometimes gets in the way. Shit happens. Whether it's producing podcasts, writing, dieting, exercise or anything we try to accomplish, there's an important concept to learn here, and I want you to remember this and make it your mantra:
Never miss twice.
Say it again with me. Now, mutter it under your breath if you have to, if you're on a train or sitting somewhere with someone who's listening to you, but say it again:
Happy November, by the way, or NaNoWriMo, National Novel Writing Month, as many of you will think of November. I want you to remember as well that you are not alone in this for NaNoWriMo. If you get stuck with your story, come find us in The Writer's Detective Q&A Group on Facebook to get unstuck. You can literally search "WritersDetective Q&A Group," but get after those daily word counts, and if life gets in the way of your daily writing, don't let it derail you for the whole month. Just get back to it the next day. Remember, never miss twice.
All right, let's get into episode 14.
Yesterday, I drove from Southern California up to Marin, California, just north of San Francisco, to join my mother in hearing former FBI Director James Comey speak. The core of his lecture was on the topic of leadership. Now, he initially talked about two pairs of leadership traits. The first pair are kindness and toughness, and they go hand-in-hand. And the second pair, confidence and humility. Toughness without kindness is cruelty. Kindness without toughness is just as bad when we're talking about leadership. It's weakness. It's the inability to make a decision or the inability to affect a change that needs to happen. It can lead to you being easily taken advantage of.
As for confidence, now this did not come from Director Comey, but one of my favorite quotes is, "Cockiness is thinking you're superior. Confidence is knowing you're not inferior." And then the balance to that confidence is humility, and one of the ways you can spot if a person has humility when we're talking about a leader is by looking at those who flourished, became leaders themselves after working for a leader with humility. Leaders with humility do not seek glory or praise. They defer that to the workers below them that deserve that praise in that work rather than being glory hounds, but leaders with humility will shoulder all the blame when things go wrong.
The reason I'm talking about this, besides the fact that it was the FBI Director that was having this conversation, was that when we typically think of leadership, we think of bosses. Now, it's key to understand that management or managing, you manage work but you lead people. We have a lot of managers, but in my experience, we're a little short on leaders. But every cop is a leader. The very first time you step into a living room to settle a domestic dispute, guess who the leader in that room is? It's you, the one with the badge, the one who's making the rules, who's laying down the law quite literally as to what's going to happen. As you create and grow your law enforcement officer protagonists, recognize and bake in those leadership traits into those characters, because that balance of kindness and toughness, confidence and humility, is what really makes a great cop and a great leader.
Now of course, most of the people that attended this talk weren't there to hear about leadership. They had questions they wanted answered about current events, especially with regard to the fact that he was fired by the president, and he played quite a role in how the election turned out, and this is not a political podcast. I really respect your own opinion, and I'm not going to go off on any kind of political tangents, but what I found really interesting, when Director Comey was asked about the Hillary Clinton email investigation, and in particular his decision to disclose the re-opening of the case due to newly discovered evidence, he explained that in the post-Watergate, post-J. Edgar Hoover era, that a chief concern for any FBI Director is the appearance of impropriety, and especially as it relates to concealing the facts, that concealment was one of the major causes of distrust of the FBI.
And the FBI has spent decades trying to repair and rebuild the confidence that the American people have in the Department of Justice in general, and the FBI in particular, with regards to trust with the American people. He explained that he really had two choices, a fork in the road, two doors to choose from, and the first door was transparency, to tell the American people what was going on, and obviously that was the door he chose. Or door number two was concealment, to not bring it to light, and he was fundamentally against that based upon his belief of what the FBI stood for, and he did say that both doors led to Hell, or at least that was one of the quotes from someone in his office.
What I found interesting was that he told the audience if he had to make that decision all over again, he would make the same decision. He just could not see concealing those facts as something that was of value, and because the FBI's decisions must be independent of politics, and because they should never be viewed as favoring, they being the FBI, should ever be viewed as favoring a particular party or candidate. In what was clearly true candor and reflection, he said, "I just don't see taking the choice of concealment," and he seemed really flustered, and he tried to explain that he knows it may not make sense to the audience from the perspective of looking back up the path from where we are now to that fork in the road where he had to make that decision alone.
It's quite a formidable thing for an FBI Director to have to make that decision, but the fact that he referenced staying above the politics, being non-partisan and being independent and being the voice of reason and being the voice of doing the right thing, the best way I can explain this is, it is a Kantian ethical principle, or deontology. What I'm trying to say here is, normally when we talk about an ethical decision, very often we think in the very basic terms of utilitarianism, so the Consequentialist theory.
I know I'm throwing a lot of philosophical terms at you here, but essentially, most people will simply say, "Which action benefits the most people?" And if it benefits the most people, then that's the ethical decision to make. The counterargument to that, which Immanuel Kant the philosopher argued, is that there are some actions that you have a duty to make, regardless of the outcome, regardless of the end result, regardless of the consequences. It's the action itself is either moral or it is not, and there is a categorical imperative to this that it has to be equally applicable, so it would not be ethical if you felt that this duty was right if you did it, but not right if someone else did it to you.
It's that Golden Rule theory, but if we all agreed that we were all in the same position, and we hold that transparency in government to be an important thing, then even though as tough a decision as it is and the consequences being the election and all of that kind of stuff, that can't factor into that decision-making. You either have a duty to do this thing or you don't. It was really fascinating to me that that was his thinking, that it was a true deontological argument, which a lot of cops will ... They go through this decision-making process on a regular basis, but they may not have the philosophical terms for it.
A lot of times, you will hear them referred to as the letter of the law or the spirit of the law, and that's that same balance between utilitarianism, Consequentialist ethical theory, or deontology, Kantian ethics. I found it neat, being a nerd in this regard, to actually see the Director, former Director of the FBI literally explain that he was using a Kantian principle to make the right decision. Whether that was the right decision or not, I will leave to, I'm sure, the comments, but at the very least, the history books and all the other arguing that's going on on social media that I tend to avoid.
But anyway, I wanted to share that with you. That was the reason I was in Northern California, but earlier this week, I posed a where am I question on social media. I did it through Instagram and Facebook, so if you follow me on either of those, you'd have seen part of my head and this interesting mirrored-looking architecture behind me, and then I dropped a clue to try to help you guys out, and that was of course city hall from Los Angeles, which you would recognize if you had ever seen an episode of Dragnet. But I want to give a big congratulations to James Patrick Joyce. He won a Writer's Detective coffee mug for guessing my location.
I was in front of the brand spanking new United States courthouse, also known as federal court. I was down there to testify in a federal case. It would be a good time to explain that, in the United States, we have a body of laws that are federal law. They're nationwide laws, normally under the United States code, so those would be the laws that the FBI or the DEA or the US Marshals, those are the agencies that are enforcing federal laws. And then at the state level, we have our own state laws, state penal code, so if I am testifying ... As a local peace officer, a police officer, I make arrests for robbery, I'm going to be testifying in the local superior court, where it is a state charge for a state robbery crime.
My prosecutor may be a district attorney, it may be a state's attorney if you're on a different jurisdiction other than California. It could also be the state attorney general's office that is the prosecutor, but then when you're at the federal level, it is the United States attorney that is the prosecutor. Those are two different, literally two separate legal systems, to the point where if you're convicted of a state robbery crime, you're going to state prison, which is in our case, a California prison. If you were convicted of a federal crime, you're going to go to a federal prison, a United States penitentiary or a federal correctional institution, which they jokingly call Club Fed, the little play on Club Med terminology.
I was down in Los Angeles to testify in this brand new, beautiful federal court building, and it was actually an interesting experience, because I have never seen a courtroom with this layout before. When you walk into a courtroom in the United States, somewhere along the back wall, it may be the corner, I've seen it in the middle of the room, but normally along the back wall, the focal point of the courtroom is usually the judge and where the judge sits is called the bench. And then to once side or the other will be the jury box, and that's obviously where the jury of your peers will sit and listen to testimony and evidence, and at some point will come to a decision about the guilt or innocence of the person charged.
Depending upon which side of the room the jury box is located, let's say it's on the right wall as we walk through the front doors of the courtroom. The judge is straight ahead of us, and the jury box is off to the right. Between the jury box and the judge, off to the judge's side, is usually the witness stand, so that way you're roughly equal distance from both the jury and the judge, and that way, everybody can hear you when you're giving testimony. Directly in front of that witness stand, usually down a little bit below, because that witness stand is up on a riser often by about a foot or two, will be the court reporter, also known as a stenographer.
Then the attorneys, the prosecutor always sits on the side closest to the jury, and then the defense table is the opposite one. Typically, going back to our example of the way the tables are laid out, the prosecutor's table, in this case it would be on the right because the jury box is on the right, and the defense table would be on the left. Those tables are usually parallel to the bench, so that way the attorneys and the defendant, everybody is looking straight ahead at the judge.
In this federal courtroom, and apparently this is the layout for this new building, the counsel tables, the attorney's tables, face one another, so when I walked in that door and I have that judge straight ahead, I have attorney's tables that are perpendicular to the bench. The prosecutor actually has his or her back to the jury box. It was just a really weird layout, but it was a beautiful building and quite the interesting layout. I figured you might be interested in hearing how the courtroom is laid out and how attorneys know where to go. If you are a prosecutor on your first day and you walk into the courtroom, you have to look to see where the jury box is, and then you take the table closest to the jury box.
And finally, this week in our Facebook Writer's Detective Q&A Group, which you can find by going to Facebook and entering "WritersDetective Q&A" into the search bar. And Writer's Detective is one word for this group. It's a closed group, but if you click on the join link, you'll be given a couple of questions to answer and I will get you added as soon as I can. We would love to have you in there.
But this week's question comes from James Beach, who you can find on Amazon*, and I will be sure to include a link to his Amazon page in the show notes. James asks, "When investigators are trying to confirm a body's former identity by comparing it to dental records, how are the original dental records found? I mean, how would an investigator even know what dentists that person might have gone to? Or alternatively, do dentists routinely send their dental records to some central location with patient ID or something else that police can search?"
Now, there are quite a few people, Tink and RJ both gave some great answers to this. The short answers are that you do need to have a potential identity of this person to begin with. There's no central record system for dental here in the United States. When we're dealing with a missing persons case, if that person has been missing for an extended period of time, we will ask the family or the person that made the report to see if we can get connected with the dentist, and try to get dental records, x-rays, castings, whatever we can get to have on file if and when we have to try to make a identity determination based upon dental records.
And RJ explained that, "Dental records help us to make an identification when we suspect who it is, but do not have other ways to confirm the identity." He said, "For example, we had a car crash and fire that killed four college kids in one vehicle. They were all unidentifiable. From the VIN number on the car, we knew who owned the car. From talking to students and professors on campus, we figured out who might be in the car with the owner. Then we went to the four families to find out what dentist they used, and finally, an odontologist confirmed the IDs of the bodies."
Then I chimed in to say, "It isn't just the dental work done, meaning not just a record of root canals and placement of teeth, but also the bite pattern itself, and forensic odontologists can cast the decedent's teeth as a mold if they have enough teeth, just like you would if you're getting tooth whitening trays. And they can also then compare the bite pattern to the dental records." And I talked about when I attended homicide school, where a forensic odontologist was teaching a course. He showed us a case where he had made a bite mark comparison between a mold cast from a suspect's teeth and bite marks on a decedent's body. If this sounds even remotely interesting to you, I highly recommend checking out ABFO.org, and that stands for American Board of Forensic Odontology, so ABFO.org. Of course, a link will be in the show notes, but that way you can go down the rabbit hole of learning all about forensic odontology.

Prospects in Merchant Navy are too fascinating and adventurous but to get there as an officer the opportunities are bleak and lasts for a very short period of time. this field offers a variety of monetary benefits as well as incentives are surely guaranteed. As an officer you need to passionate and equally hard working to be at the right place and your ultimate destination would be the Maritime Academy.

For about 2 weeks, I had a box of things that Baby E never used during the first couple months of his life (i.e. Newborn diapers, formula, etc) which I had been meaning to donate to someone or some charity that could use it. Then it occurred to me that the St. Louis Crisis Nursery might be an option. So I located the facility and headed down half expecting to just drop off the box and leave, no interaction what so ever. When I got there though, what happened was completely unexpected.
Once I got through the security (the building is locked down, no one goes in or out without someone knowing), I came into a big room where I found a few children watching TV, probably trying to go to sleep and then behind them was a kid (maybe around 19 or so) rocking with an infant in his arms that looked to be about Baby E's age. It was such a precious site. I don't have to tell you how wonderful those moments are when they fall asleep in your arms like that. I asked the volunteer about the boy and he said "I've tried to put him down three times and all he wants is to be held." I almost cried. It saddened me that this little baby couldn't get that type of moment at home but I was happy to see that he looked so content at the nursery.
This happened about 3 weeks ago and I'm still thinking about it. I'm so fortunate to be able to provide Baby E with an environment where he's loved, fed and happy without any worries of abuse, etc but for many babies and kids that isn't the case. The Crisis Nursery tries to help this group and I'm happy that they are. As a mom, you don't want to think about any child being deprived of love, or abused. It makes me sick. So I'm going to continue to support the Nursery in anyway I can and I encourage you to do the same in STL if you're around here or in your own towns.


With design approvals already in hand, the Related Group appears to be steaming forward with its planned Wynwood 29 mixed-use tower. The developer just closed its purchase of the land it needs to build the project for $12 million.
County records show a Related-controlled company bought roughly 1.2 acres at the intersection of Northwest First Avenue and Northwest 28th Street. The seller was Tony Cho, whose Metro 1 is also partnering with Related on the project.
Related and Cho's plans for the parcels include two mixed-use buildings on either side of Northwest First Avenue.
The larger of the two is a 12-story tower with 182 micro-condos on the western site of the street. On the eastern side, a six-story office tower with roughly 26,600 rentable square feet will be built. Both will have a combined 19,726 square feet of retail and commercial space.
The project is also slated to have 272 parking spaces. Wynwood 29's apartments will range in size from studios with 416 square feet to two-bedrooms with just below 900 square feet. The project will also have amenities like a rooftop pool deck, fitness center and club room.
Cho told The Real Deal that prices will start at just below $200,000 and range upward to $500,000. The developers expect to launch sales in the first quarter of 2017 with Metro 1, Related Realty and Fortune International Group handling marketing. Construction is dependent on the pace of sales, though Cho said he believes ground breaking could happen next year.
The office and retail space is also for sale with asking prices between $500 and $600 per square foot. Cho said the developers are already in talks with several co-working operators about a possible deal, though nothing has been set in stone yet.
No financing was recorded with the deal. Related's $12 million purchase price breaks down to about $226 per square foot of land, or $39 per buildable square foot for the planned project. Cho's partner for the nearby Magic City redevelopment project, Dragon Global, will also take part in Wynwood 29 as an equity partner.
According to county records, Cho — acting through a company called Wynwood 1st Ave Projects — scooped up the nine parcels through separate deals in 2014. All told, he paid roughly $5.4 million for the land, most of which is currently occupied by houses and small apartment buildings.
Related, along with a host of other developers launching residential projects in Wynwood, are banking on millennials to fill their buildings. Despite a speed bump in Wynwood's retail landscape earlier this year caused by the Zika virus, the neighborhood has become a hotspot for development amid soaring land prices and a booming art scene.
"This is more for creatives, entrepreneurs; People who want a pied-à-terre in basically the coolest neighborhood in Miami," he said.

Listen to Active Child's intricate new song, "Subtle" featuring Mikky Ekko
by Michelle Geslani
on September 11, 2013, 12:15pm
Los Angeles indie-pop artist Pat Grossi, a.k.a. Active Child, returns with his new Rapor EP on October 22nd via Vagrant Records. The six-song effort serves as the first release since his excellent full-length debut, 2011's You Are All I See. We've already heard the theatrical instrumental "She Cut Me", and now comes a new track called "Subtle".
Despite its name, it's anything but understated; instead, the track's a thick, intricate whirlwind of sweeping and flickering electronics — a hybrid of the eighties' synth era and something so distinctly today. Grossi's joined by famed Rihanna collaborator Mikky Ekko, and together their similarly feathery vocals twist and soar about weightlessly, making for a surprising contrast to the busy, heaving backdrop of music.
Rapor Tracklist:
01. She Cut Me
02. Subtle (feat. Mikky Ekko)
03. Feeling is Gone
04. Silhouette (feat. Ellie Goulding)
05. Calling in the Name of Love
06. Evening Ceremony

Allstate Seeking $2M in Accidental Payments in "Consumer Protection" Measure
By it
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., — Allstate Insurance Company has filed its first insurance fraud lawsuit of 2012, seeking to recover $2 million dollars against 27 New York area defendants. The Complaint names multiple physicians, chiropractors, medical professional corporations, and clinic lay-owners allegedly used to control the medical professional corporations, including 18 individual defendants currently under federal indictment.
The complaint alleges that New York medical professional corporations known as St. John Medical Care, P.C., Lenox Wellcare Medical, P.C., CB Chiropractic, LLC, New Age Orthopedic Rehabilitation, P.C., First Aid Medical Care, P.C., Rosedale Medical, P.C., TDL Medical, P.C., LDT Medical, P.C., and West End Chiropractic, P.C., were fraudulently incorporated through a scheme using the names of licensed medical physicians and chiropractors, and that lay-owners, none of whom were physicians, secretly owned and controlled the professional corporations.
The lawsuit was filed following an investigation by Allstate's Special Investigative Unit and seeks reimbursement for no–fault benefits Allstate paid on behalf of its customers during timeframes specified in the lawsuit. The lawsuit is the latest in a string of actions taken by the insurer to protect consumers from these and similar activities. Since 2003, Allstate has filed 37 fraud lawsuits in New York State seeking more than $ 201 million in damages.
According to the Insurance Information Institute, the state of New York is in an insurance fraud crisis and no-fault fraud is costing New Yorkers millions of dollars year-after-year in higher premiums. "In essence, honest, hardworking New Yorkers are paying a 'fraud tax,'" said Krista Conte, spokesperson for Allstate's New York office. "We need lawmakers to enact meaningful insurance reform that puts the citizens of New York first."

Guessing from the title, one would say that this game is about butterflies, but it's actually about something much more interesting. Wazdan provided us with a great game based on an old Chinese legend about two lovers Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shango. It's a 4 reel slot with 4 rows and a Cluster Pays system. The game carries a great story and, thanks to the features, great payouts as well.
Forbidden Things are the Dearest to the Heart
The legend this game is based on goes back a long time, all the way to the period of the Eastern Jin dynasty. It tells the story of two lovers whose love was forbidden by society. With all forces, they were separated and died alone. This is where the butterflies start to make sense. It's believed that after death, their spirits turned into butterflies and they have reunited once again. It's an amazing story to inspire a great game. Â
The main scene of events takes place in nature. The background is beautiful and the graphics are quite good. The snow on the mountains compliments the green grass and trees perfectly. There is also a small river with a gorgeous bridge to cross over it. What adds a special touch, is the two lovers standing on opposite sides of the grid, dressed in traditional clothing. The soundtrack is very calming as one would expect from this type of slot and just as the rest contributes to keeping the legend alive. Â
Some of the symbols include the regular royals, jewelry, different local fruit, flowers, and the two lovers together serve as the wild symbol. Everything was designed to have a very loving and cutesy feeling to it. Aside from the design and thanks to the features the game has good gameplay as well. Instead of the regular paylines, wins are created whenever 8 or more matching symbols appear in a cluster.
The player can bet a minimum of 10 and a maximum of a 100 coins per spin. With everything the game has to offer, the player can win up to 2000x the stake in a single spin. The game has all three volatility levels which is great when combined with the reasonably set 96,16% RTP.
Collect Butterflies and Reunite the Lovers
The game has very unique features that are connected to the legend. First to mention are the two meters on each side, that count the collected butterflies for each lover. When the meters are full, the blue and pink butterflies activate bonus rounds. The blue ones combined with an additional spin with 5 butterflies activate the Liang Shanbo Free Spins feature. The player gets 16 free spins and the wilds landed during them get locked in place for a bigger chance of scoring a winning combination.
Then there are the Zhu Yingtai Free Spins that are activated the same way only with pink butterflies. The player gets 16 free spins and multipliers that increase by one each spin. This means that on the last spin a x16 multiplier is applied which can mean a huge win.
What makes the meters hard to fill, is the Magic Sack meter placed on the top. When it isn't full and a sack lands on the reels 2-5 butterflies get removed from their meters. It's not that bad though, since collecting the sacks has it's good sides as well.
The Magic Sack Bonus is activated when the player fills the Magic Sack meter on the top and then lands an additional Magic Sack symbol. The player then gets 8 free spins with 5 wilds placed randomly on the reels. One of the royals becomes the sack symbol and every other sack gets turned wild. All wild characters are locked in place and a multiplier that increases with every spin is applied. The multiplier goes up to x9 and when combined with the wilds causes for a big win.
Last but not least, is the classic gamble feature that lets the player gamble the wins and try their luck.

Stenotus binotatus is a species of plant bug, originally from Europe, but now also established across North America and New Zealand. It is  long, yellowish, with darker markings on the pronotum and forewings. It feeds on various grasses, and can be a pest of crops such as wheat.

Description
Stenotus binotatus is a fairly large plant bug ( long), which is somewhat variable in appearance. The insect's sides are roughly parallel, and the colours depend on both the animal's sex and its age, the markings becoming darker and stronger with increasing age. Males are mostly yellow, with darker markings on the pronotum and forewings, which females are greenish-yellow with paler markings.

Distribution
S. binotatus is native to most of the Palearctic but has been introduced to temperate regions around the world. It is common "throughout the northern and central U.S. and southern Canada", and it has been introduced to New Zealand, where it is now found almost throughout the country.

Ecology
Both the nymphs and adults feed on the inflorescences of grasses, especially timothy-grass (Phleum pratense). In New Zealand, S. binotatus has been collected from a large variety of plants, including the grasses brown top, Yorkshire fog, cocksfoot, wheat, barley and maize, and many other plants (including rushes, Hypericum, Leptospermum scoparium, Metrosideros, Nothofagus, Coriaria, Olearia, Muehlenbeckia, Carmichaelia, Larix decidua, Eucalyptus, Melicytus ramiflorus, Coprosma robusta, hemlock and nettles).

Adults are active from June to September in the United Kingdom, and in December and January in New Zealand.

Crop damage
Stenotus binotatus produces an enzyme which degrades the gluten in the grasses it feeds on. These enzymes are believed to be responsible for the characteristic "sticky dough" produced from wheat which has been attacked by plant bugs such as S. binotatus.

The wheat grain does not show a pale area or puncture mark after attack by S. binotatus, in contrast to other bugs. Instead, the grains appear collapsed. Wheat grains from known bug infestation in New Zealand do not resemble those produced by S. binotatus, and SDS-PAGE patterns also suggest that S. binotatus was not the cause of infestations.

Taxonomic history

Stenotus binotatus was originally described under the name Lygaeus binotatus by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1794. The genus Stenotus was erected by Wassily Ewgrafowitsch Jakowlew (also transcribed as "Jakovlev") in 1877, and S. binotatus was designated its type species.

S. binotatus is known by various common names, including two-spotted plant bug, timothy plant bug, and slender crop mirid.

Jean Frédéric Frenet (Périgueux, 7 februari 1816 - aldaar, 12 juni 1900) was een Frans wiskundige, astronoom en meteoroloog.

Hij is vooral bekend als een (onafhankelijk) co-ontdekker van de formules van Frenet-Serret. Hij schreef zes van de negen formules, die op dat moment nog niet werden uitgedrukt in de vectornotatie of in de taal van de lineaire algebra. Deze formules zijn belangrijk in de theorie van de ruimtekrommen (differentiaalmeetkunde), Frenet presenteerde de formules in 1847 in zijn proefschrift in Toulouse. Dat jaar werd hij professor aan de Universiteit van Toulouse. Een jaar later in 1848 werd hij professor in de wiskunde aan de Universiteit van Lyon. Hij was ook directeur van het sterrekundig observatorium in Lyon. Vier jaar later, in 1852, publiceerde hij de formules van Frenet in het wiskundig tijdschrift, de Journal de mathématiques pures et appliquées.

In 1856 werd zijn calculus primer voor het eerst gepubliceerd, dat liep tot en met zeven edities, waarvan de laatste postuum werd gepubliceerd in 1917.

CastAR was created by Jeri Ellsworth and Rick Johnson. A pair of glasses and a scanning surface for the glasses are the two things that make these glasses. The camera in between the glasses scans the surroundings and adjusts itself to project the images. The images are projected through the micro-projectors that are placed on top of the frames. Once the glasses are worn, the augmented reality comes into the picture and AR world is right before you. An additional component called "Magic Wand" makes CastAR unique by helping you interact with the augmented world. You can also play an augmented reality game with the help of this component by moving objects in the augmented world.
These glasses may range from $290 to $765.
Meta is very different from Google Glass. The reality is overlaid by Augmented Reality by these glasses. 3D objects can be easily manipulated and can be treated as clay after being identified by these glasses. By just grabbing a piece of paper, unlimited screens can be obtained making it more flexible. Full fledged 3D modeling using just one device is possible through meta. Motion tracking, 3D HD Display, and 3D surround sound are the other key features of these glasses. These glasses may cost you $667-$3650.
ORA-S is developed by Optinvent. It is an innovative smart glass that enables a number of augmented reality based applications. They are bigger and brighter than Google Glasses. It uses two modes to locate virtual images. Images can be viewed at 0-degree angle by standard AR mode and 20-degree angle from Glance mode. By tilting upwards and downwards display, AR mode and Glance mode are activated respectively. Orientation sensor, Sound, Wi-Fi, 1.2GHz dual-core microprocessor, 4GB flash memory are the other specifications of these glasses. These glasses run on Android 2.2 and can be connected to your smartphones and tablets as well. These glasses cost you $949.
These are the most anticipated upcoming smart glasses that integrate physical reality and augmented reality. 3D objects can be easily manipulated using these glasses. There are more smart glasses that are being developed. Check them out on Hongkiat. Few of these are also available for pre-order. Keep reading this space to keep a track of such innovative devices.

eBiking Wales, Peak District, & Midlands! Guide to Electric Bike Rentals/Hire [VIDEOS]
September 5, 2018 By Richard Peace Leave a Comment
Covering the delights of these relatively small areas of the UK that punch above their weight in terms of marvellous cycling country.
In biking terms both Wales and the Peak District National Park are perhaps most associated with superb mountain biking opportunities and areas such as Wales' Snowdonia and Brecon Beacons have done much in recent years to promote themselves as offering some of the finest cycling opportunities in the UK.
But outside of the well-known tourist hotspots there are some fantastic trails and areas to explore, including hugely scenic Cheshire and Wales outside of its National Parks, full of fine beaches and ancient castles.
This guide to eBike hire will help with planning an eBike holiday and it is also a good way to test a few eBikes before purchasing your own.
Many companies detailed here are also retailers and do good deals to those who have hired e-bikes from them.
Enjoy this eBiking guide and hopefully it will give you some ideas on new places to ride!
North Wales Coast, Snowdonia & Around
After a long string of beaches the North Wales coast takes a dramatic turn where it meets the dramatic Conwy Castle (part of a World Heritage Site and bang on a Sustrans cycle route to boot) and the magnificent geographical feature of the nearby Great Orme at Llandudno.
Inland lies the Snowdonia National Park, based around the tallest mountain in the whole of England and Wales and certainly one of the most spectacular.
Electric Bike Hire, Mold
The E-bikes
High-quality Kalkhoff Agattu step-thru comfort models. From £20 per half-day to £200 per week.
The Riding
If you want a little-explored but highly scenic area for e-biking the countryside to the west of Mold is ideal for exploring due to its network of quiet lanes and tracks.
It includes the Clwyidian range of hills and the Clwyd Valley with attractive towns such as Ruthin, Denbigh, St Asaph and beautifully sited Rhuddlan castle.
There's also the chance to stay at the same place as hires out the e-bikes.
Great pics and video here.
Busters Cycle Hire
Based inside Sunnyvale Holiday Park at Kimnel Bay but offering a mobile service operating along the North Wales Coast with pickup and dropoff points at Prestatyn, Abergele, Towyn, Rhos-on-Sea and Llandudno.
Folding, step-thru hub motor 'Stepper' model at £15-40 (2-7 hours)
Sustrans National Cycle Network route 5 runs along the north coast of Wales and is largely traffic-free.
This area around the Conwy estuary is simply magnificent for riding and includes a ride around the Great Orme headland.
Beics Brenin, near Dolgellau
Three Trek Powerfly+ e-mtbs available
Beics Brenin is located in the Coed y Brenin Forest Park which has a plethora of waymarked mtb trails for all ability (graded blue, red and black).
Dolgellau itself is at the centre of the South Snowdonia greenway, a 27 mile largely traffic-free route through spectacular hill country.
If you want the ultimate e-mtb challenge you could tackle the monster that is Snowdon (though note there is a voluntary emtb ban on riding there in the summer months as it is so popular..).
Here's a video to give you a taste of what to expect and your options:
Wales capital city of Cardiff is also handily placed on the Taff Trail which gives access to the Brecon Beacons National Park which includes the Black Mountains.
The shape of the Beacons is totally arresting, huge curving ridges on one side and gentler slopes on the other, with plenty of bridleways to let you explore them by e-bike.
Drover Cycles, Hay-on-Wye
Haibike e-mtbs and leisure models from Raleigh and Freego
Hay-on-Wye is right on the Welsh-English border and gives great access to the Black Mountains (containing Wales highest tarmac road, Gospel Pass) and there are some stunning ridge rides just one of which is filmed here:
Here's a nice overview of the gentler cycling available in next door Herefordshire.
Bike Park Wales, near Merthyr Tydfil
Another opportunity to hire an e-bike right in the heart of a trail centre and one voted the best in the UK over the last couple of years.
Trek Powerfly FS 8LT from £65
There's a great network of trails at the bike park but it's also on the doorstep of the Brecon Beacons National Park which lies just to the north and offers numerous mountain biking opportunities.
For an easy leisure ride you could try the lovely Monmouthshire and Brecon canal towpath that heads south-east of attractive Brecon.
Here's a video to give you a taster of the type of riding available:
Pedal Power, Cardiff
Pedal Power is a cycling charity that has a range of electric bikes for hire, including some suitable for disabled riders.
There is a fine, largely traffic-free ride around the picturesque Cardiff Bay, and the Taff Trail leads north out of the city to the Victorian fantasy building of Castel Coch.
The Welsh Marches – Chesire, Shropshire and Herefordshire
The Marcher counties are largely rural, very picturesque but without the extreme terrain of the mountains of central Wales or the English Peak district and so a fine escape for some peaceful and relaxing e-biking.
Cheshire Cycle Hire, Cuddington
Diamondback Corvus e-mtb hardtail and Raleigh Strada TS hybrid.
Cheshire offers a great variety of riding from nearby off-roading in Delamere Forest to the largely minor signed road route of the Cheshire Cycleway that heads into the beautiful and historic county town of Cheshire.
The Peak District National Park has some of the best and most contrasting riding in the country. In the north the Dark Peak is made up of gritstone ridges and peat bogs and in the south the White Peak features steep limestone valleys.
Bike Garage, Hope Valley
Trek Powerfly full-sus e-mtb models at £50 per day. GoPro camera hire also available.
Superb mountain biking country on the edge of Dark Peak and White Peak country with splendidly steep and green hillscapes and the riding just about as difficult as you want to make it, including the famed climbs of Mam Tor and Rushup Edge.
There are easy off-road leisure rides too on tracks around the nearby reservoirs in the Derwent Valley.
Here's one route recommended by the Bike Garage, the aptly-named Beast of Hope Cross (the beast being a particularly rocky descent).
Hassop Station Cycle Hire, Bakewell
There are Raleigh hybrid models available at the station bike hire from £17 for two hours whilst upstairs Peak Ebikes retailers have emtb demo bikes that can be booked for £50 per day (redeemable against a purchase).
The Monsal Trail is yet another fine traffic-free ride on a former railway through wonderful White Peak scenery.
You can also make the short hop over to one of the UK's premier stately homes, Chatsworth House.
The following video gives an idea what to expect along the Monsal Trail but there is also a great network of tougher mountain bike rides and minor roads in the area.
Peak National Park Hire Centres at Parsley Hay and Ashbourne
Raleigh hybrid models from around £30+ per day.
Both centres are ideal for exploring two of the UK's most popular and scenic traffic-free trails, the Tissington Trail and the High Peak Trail.
Ashbourne is at the southern end of the Tissington Trail and to the south-east of the village is some fine country road riding with the lovely Kedleston Hall as your target.
The once-industrial cities of Sheffield and Nottingham might not seem obvious cycling destinations but both have growing urban cycle networks and give access to some fine countryside riding.
Further south the Midlands centred around Birmingham and Coventry, have several gems including Shakespeare's birthplace of Stratford-upon-Avon.
To the east is the largely rural county of Lincolnshire with its cathedral-famed capital, Lincoln.
Russell's Bike Shed, Sheffield and Nottingham
Raleigh mid-drive hybrid models from £15 per day.
NCN route 6 lies to the north-east of Sheffield in the form of the Five Weirs Walk path and exits to the south-west, climbing gradually towards to Peak Disrict. You can head north-west along NCN627 for some nice forest trails at Wharncliffe Woods.
There is a nice ride out from Nottingham centre to Wollaton Hall and some great traffic-free riding alongside the river Trent and along the Erewash Valley Trail.
Ebikes Derby
EBR has already covered the basics of this city e-bike share scheme
The best leisure riding in Derby is to be had alongside the River Derwent (follow it to the south-east to visit attractive Elvaston Country Par) and along bridleways to the north-west for a visit to Kedleston Hall.
Cannock Chase Cycle Centre, near Rugeley
Trek full-sus e-mtbs from £45 for 3 hours
Cannock Chase is an extensive and very pretty area of lowland heath interspersed with commercial forestry plantations and designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
There are designated leisure, cross-country and downhill trails in the area.
E-bike Electric Bike Centre, Leicester
Various models for hire at £25 per day and £95 per week.
There is some lovely riverside riding to be had along the Grand Union Canal and River Soar which run through the centre of Leicester.
Leicester itself is home to some fine parks, churches and a cathedral.
City Hire Bike Lincoln
Lincoln's city bike-share scheme also includes some e-bikes which can be hired via the automated docking system and app for £3 per hour.
Lincoln has a stunning cathedral at its centre and there is some fine traffic-free riding along the Lincoln-Harby path, the Fossdyke Navigation and the impressive Water Rail Way.
Sherwood Pines Cycles, Old Clipstone, Mansfield
Various off-road models
Lots of graded off-road trails through Sherwood Pines Forest Park and there is a fine traffic-free ride to the north along NCN to the scenic Clumber Park where more trails await.
Stay tuned for more e-bike news and reviews and keep on riding.

The MVVM feature of the Kendo UI framework provides powerful two-way data binding capabilities, built on the popular Model-View-ViewModel concept. In this way you can easily make attribute values for widgets observable and modify them automatically when changes are applied in the data source, or alter the underlying data when the user interacts with the UI.
In this example we show how to configure the Kendo UI treemap to make use of the MVVM functionality exposed by the framework. For this purpose we create a viewmodel instance (with kendo.observable call) which wraps the treemap data source, and instantiate the widget, its attributes and binding definition using data- attributes. The important detail to wire the viewmodel is to invoke kendo.bind to the container element of the treemap, passing the viewmodel as a second argument. Review the code snippets from the demo for more info.
Details on the MVVM features of the Kendo UI framework can be obtained from this chapter of the documentation.

'Caliph of Cologne' loses battle
Kaplan's group wants an Islamic state in Turkey
A court in Germany has ruled that a radical Muslim leader can be extradited to Turkey to face treason charges.
Metin Kaplan is accused of planning to crash a plane loaded with explosives into the mausoleum of Kemal Ataturk, founder of modern, secular Turkey.
The decision overturns a previous ruling that he was unlikely to receive a fair trial in Turkey.
Mr Kaplan, the self-styled 'Caliph of Cologne' can appeal against the decision to a federal court.
The extradition announcement is a victory for the German government, which has been seeking to deport Mr Kaplan since he was released from jail last year after a four year sentence for inciting the killing of a rival cleric in Berlin in 1997.
Group banned
Mr Kaplan's group Caliphate State, which seeks to overthrow the secular government in Turkey, was banned in Germany after the 11 September attacks in the US.
"This is a decision to be applauded," said German Interior Minister Otto Schily in a statement.
"Today's verdict is an important signal: for foreigners who represent a danger to the security and order of our nation, there is no place in Germany."
Previously German courts have noted claims that some militant suspects have been tortured in Turkey.
But on Wednesday the court said that it had seen assurances by the Turkish government, and that Mr Kaplan "is not faced with a significant probability of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment in Turkey, and so is not entitled to protection from extradition".
