Coltrana Springtime Lassie, born 23rd May 2004.
Owned and adored by Dave and Becky Trueman.
Shelby is now retired from working: at nearly 12 she is an old lady. She was rehomed at nearly 5 years old as a demanding young lady, and settled down into the demanding old lady she is now! You could not meet a Newfy that more typifies the breed: she is sweet, gentle, strong, powerful, stubborn, and very slobbery!
Shelby took to the draught work very well, and a few days before her 8th birthday (the limit at which a Newfy can’t enter a Level 4), she passed her Level 4 draught! She also achieved the multi-passes at all the other draught Levels, and did lots of christmas tree pulling and sleigh rides for children at Christmas. Nothing phases or scares Shelby at all (except for wasps), and so she made a wonderful draught dog.
Shelby needed much more work in the water, as although she always loves a paddle, she did not really understand how to swim and she would not retrieve anything on land or in water. After lots of training, she started to enjoy the water, and even achieved her multi-pass B, which for a dog who didn’t retrieve anything is a great achievement!
Shelby loves nothing more than to eat, sleep and receive lots of love and strokes. She also loves small dogs and meeting one still gets her tail wagging in her old age. Her name in her previous life was ‘Shebah’, which was felt to be a bit too feline, hence her name Shelby, although she does also answer to ‘biscuit’!

To many tea connoisseurs, the leaf is like a fine wine what with its colorful flavors, delightful scents and beautiful array colors. There is also another attribute that tea has in common with wine: that their flavor (for some teas) grows better with time.
Pu-erh tea is just that…a tea that is stored for a period of time where its flavor matures and improves with time. However, it is not just stored in loose leaf form, it can also be packed tightly into balls or disks or other fun shapes.
How is it that flavor can improve with time? Well, like wine (or beer) Pu-erh goes through a fermentation process while stored which changes the chemical make-up of the tea thus giving it a different flavor. It even changes its color!
Isn’t that cool? It makes you wonder who came up with that idea. Well, never fear, dear readers, there is a legend for that!
According to some , tea merchants of the Tang Dynasty (618-907 A. D.) began packing the teas into bricks, which were easier to load and transport. It would take these teas month to reach their destination. These destinations ranged from Tibet to India to Beijing. During the extended travel and the ever changing climates something happened: the tea began to change. The aforementioned fermentation process occurred during transport. This made the tea’s color change from green to dark and the flavor became richer and more complex.
The tea was called Pu-erh after the town of the same name which is located in central Yunnan. The teas did not actually originate from this village; however, it was a centralized trading post for teas harvested and made from the nearby areas before being sent to faraway lands.
I thought this was such a fascinating and unique take on tea. I think it would make such a great gift idea! Think about it… It would make a great wedding or birthday gift. Each year or anniversary, the tea can be enjoyed because it will continue to improve.
What do you think, dear readers? Any other ideas of what you could do with this tea?

Does my wife have vaginitis?
Q: During sex with my wife, I get itching on my penis foreskin and when I rub it, it turns into a wound. We have gone through various tests like DTD-HIV-etc. and the results are all negative. The doctor gave me Fluconazole capsules and advised to give the same to my wife also. He also gave me a skin cream to put on the foreskin. The treatment finished and I was fine. But again the same problem has appeared and I notice that during sex my wife gives out some smelly white fluid in large quantity. This has given me the same itching problem. Please advise what kind of treatment has to be given to my wife and me?
A:Your wife could be suffering from Vaginitis. It is an inflammation of the vaginal surface usually caused by a Candida (a yeast), Trichomonas (a protozoan) or Gardnerella (a bacterium). A woman with this condition may have itching or burning and may notice a discharge. Treatment may include Sitz baths and instruction regarding proper toilet and hygiene techniques. Treatment taken should be after a visit to a Gynaecologist can include the use of Anti-fungal agents, antibiotics (eg metronidazole) etc. Treatment of sexual partners of patients (in this case you) is essential.

Feedback on PsykerWarhammer 40K Feedback 8
I like the class and the idea of risk/reward with the warp heat but some parts of it don't feel right.
The risk is quite clear:
- in green, no risk
- in yellow, a risk to spawn a warp anomaly
- in red, a higher risk to spawn a warp anomaly AND self damage on each skill use
But the reward is unclear.
There are two rewards:
- positive warp anomalies
- passive bonuses
The positive anomaly has no explanation in game. There are only some hints to make understand they exist.
We don't known the chances to make them spawn, what they look like, what they do, how to use it...
It doesn't feel like a reward. We have to know they exist and, eventually, they are the risk of a risk: on a negative event, it can turn to be positive.
It should be the other way around : on a positive event, it can turn to be negative.
It's mostly a different way to present the same thing but it changes the mecanism a lot.
It's the ONLY reward of the warp heat for many psykers. It should be able to make players want to leave the green area even though there is a risk for a bad event.
I don't believe it achieves that the way it is now.
The passive bonuses are not for all psykers. We have to have it then choose to use it. Only one of the three starting psykers got one.
Then, the passive requires to have a high heat level to activate, either 75% or 100%, both in the red area.
We need two increases in risk to get one increase in reward. Not really appealing.
Something that would help would be to get a partial bonus at each increment of risk.
Example: instead of getting +20% damage at 100% warp heat, we could get +5% in yellow, +10% in red and +20% at 100% heat.
Partial bonus for partial risk instead of all or nothing to encourage to take at least some risk. Else, there is no point for the yellow area.
Moreover, there is what I believe is a bug in the risk application on a skill use.
Risk for each heat level is described in game as effect on skill use. When using a skill in green level, there should be nothing happening as per description of the system.
But, if the skill make us go from green to yellow, a warp anomaly can spawn.
Risk is not applied on skill use but after skill use, when warp heat is updated.
- Inferno and Scryer's Gaze often get stuck in environment
- Molten Beam fires in the cover a few seconds before starting to attack the ennemy
- Fiery form destroys cover
- Inferno damages are not displayed on tooltip
- Staves and Rod are melee weapons but there skills seem to be ranged, so we don't really know what skill trees and what tarot cards apply to them
- Psyker items can't be salvaged
- Psyker items often have "+x% damage to" with nothing after
Your Thoughts? Please login to place your opinion. Not a member yet? Register here and now!
Update with 0.7.3 (some new things, some old things)
- "Unburdened corrected" but "Scourge by the warp" still bugged (stuck at 10/100k since a long time ago)
- Add an additional filter (so keeping the current ones) to display heroic deeds in progress only for the current class (ex: with a psyker, display psyker-only and classless but not crusader-only and assassin-only)
- Molten Beam targeting seems to be less effective than before (and I'm playing with mouse/keyboard)
- Death Augury still often doesn't apply on self in multiplayer games (no modifier for targeting allies, buff never applies on first cast and need 2-3 casts before applying, with 2min cd between each cast - no issue in solo games)
- Vulnerability modifier doesn't seem to apply debuff to enemies (or debuff is not displayed)
- More modifiers should be usable with Molten Beam (at least slow, blind, damage to cover). A check of what modifier can be applied to each skill and if it works correctly should be done before release.
- Armour Breaking description states "Ingores 50% of armour" (typo is from the game) while Armour Piercing description states "Completely ingores armour" (same typo in game), it would be better to unlock modifier for Armour Breaking before Armour Piercing (NB: Armour Breaking modifier has the advantage of not increasing warpheat cost, else I would have suggested to remove it completely)
- Haven't tried it in 0.7.3 but no reason for it to have changed: if we cast two blessing skill with the same buff modifier, the effect doesn't add (two skills with +10hp/sec will result with +10hp/sec instead of +20hp/sec). It should add or be stated that it doesn't add.
- Great visual feedback on yellow/red area
- In multiplayer games, feedback for yellow/red warpheat appear when we are in green area and I suspect another Psyker is in yellow/red
- Warpheat seems to increase faster than before and seems harder to reduce with a staff
- Moreover, yellow area is no more attractive than before
- Aether Blade skill can no longer be cast without a target is a good thing as it was way too powerful, but the skill can no longer be used to reduce warpheat and can no longer be used to come near an enemy behind a cover/turret. Maybe simply increasing cd would have been better?
- Pyrokinetic Staff is listed as Force Staff in the craft window
- Rods shouldn't all have the same second skill
- Haven't tried it in 0.7.3 but no reason for it to have changed: Wyrdvane Seekers go in a totally wrong direction when trying to attack an enemy on higher or lower ground
Not related to Psyker:
- Not a fan of PR displayed outside of menus, but at least don't display it during a mission
- Don't display the massacre or killstreak popup during mission if there is no bonus associated to it
- Add an option to not display item you just picked up
- When auto-loot is activated, make anybody loot for you and don't force everybody to go everywhere, it breaks the pace of the game way too much to have to backtrack for maybe nothing
- Missions seems to grant less account xp than before
- In the character menu, make the shortcut available (in inventory, pressing K makes me go to skills, pressing C makes me go to character sheet and pressing I close the inventory), not only outside of menus
- Various bugs: error pop-up on starting the game, crash on starting/ending mission (way more often than before last patch), no name in chat, party chat not working, team chat during a mission even though there is a party chat
Forgot some points on skill trees (all already present before 0.7.3):
- Defense tree and Physical Attacks tree talk about the status Warped. From the passives in the PA tree, we can guess that it is one warpheat level but the tutorial page says that the levels are Safe, Imperiled and Exposed. No Warped.
- In Close Combat tree, some passives are of no use to a Psyker (bonus to Fleshbane or Combo skills)
- In Area Effects tree, there is a passive to increase area of aura skills by 10%. The only aura is fiery form with a radius of 3m. The increase to 3.3m is not really impressive. Increasing it to 4m would be better as it would make the change visible.
- In Area Effects tree, there is a passive to increase range of line or cone skills by 10%. But there is no line nor cone skill. Closer is Bio-Lightning which is a "path" skill. Don't know if the passive applies but if is does, the passive is not really impressive either as it bring the range from 10m to 11m - even less noticeable as the skill pierce foes but stops on first obstacle. Increasing it to 12m would be better.
- Heat tree is mostly about heat and energy weapon, making the tree less useful for psyker as your restricted to 1 1h heat weapon, so two skills. Some passives of the tree should applie to pyromancy skills as well. At least Spontaneous Combustion (master passive) and Volatile Output. Maybe Adamantium Heat Sink (for warpheat, with a lower %) ans Superheated Discharge (too powerful?). As it is now, there is no point to invest in the tree for a Psyker.
- Bottom part of the Support tree is all about Focus that Psyker doesn't use.
One thing i would add: The visual feedback for warpheat is displayed for every member in party, not just psykers. thats a bit annoying cause its confusing when the screen suddenly changes in colour. although... maybe its a good warning for temammembers as well, got insta-killed by a warpanomaly from my fellow psyker today on my sader with 5.8k hp... :D
Meanwhile, with Ranged Combat tree, you can get +16% for 5 points (as long as there is no ennemy within 5m, which is most of the time) without restriction of items and skills to use.
In my list, I forgot to talk about Holocaust even though I planned to.
One of the three last skills unlocked by the psyker but one of the worst skills. It spawns fix columns of fire randomly at close range of the psyker.
So you have to go in the middle of enemies and cast the skill hoping some column will spawn at a position that will actually hurt someone. At the end, you've taken more damage by exposing yourself than you inflicted by using the skill.
Holocaust shall be reworked. I don't believe anyone use it the way it is now. It's really disappointing as last skill of a tree (two others are way better).
Maybe spawn a fire column or fire wall at target and invert in the tree that reworked skill with Inferno (if it no longer get stuck in environment).
SO, I'M NOT MOVING FROM HERE UNTIL WE GET PILLARS WORTHY OF THE GAME, INSTEAD ABOMINATION WE CURRENTLY HAVE, WHERE THEY - ADMITTEDLY, CASTING LOOKS IMPRESSIVE, BUT THAT'S ABOUT IT - REQUIRE COMBOS OF SKILLS JUST TO SURVIVE AND STILL LEAVING THE RISKS WITH RATHER UNCERTAIN RESULTS!
Oh, as a mage of high experience FROM many games, I find some other spells disappointing and bleak, or ill-concieved - 60+ seconds for a simple protection spell, really??? Switch skills and wait a minute - voila! Those problems (IF the spamming of those can be one, debatable at least) are typically solved by high resource cost or such. 60+ coooldowns are mostly reserved for 'Wrath of the Emprah kill'em all' type of large scale destruction, and not for a stupid SHIELD.
Set this current order state as My default.

43:0624(52)AR - - AFGE Local 2814 and Transportation, Federal Railroad Administration, Washington, DC - - 1991 FLRAdec AR - - v43 p624
[ v43 p624 ]
The decision of the Authority follows:
43 FLRA No. 52
FEDERAL LABOR RELATIONS AUTHORITY
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
FEDERAL RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION
December 20, 1991
Before Chairman McKee and Members Talkin and Armendariz.
I. Statement of the Case
This matter is before the Authority on exceptions to an award of Arbitrator James P. Whyte filed by the Agency pursuant to section 7122(a) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute) and part 2425 of the Authority's Rules and Regulations. The Union filed an opposition to the Agency's exceptions.
A grievance was filed disputing, among other things, the grievant's performance ratings for her mid-year performance appraisal. The Arbitrator sustained the grievance and concluded that the grievant had been improperly evaluated. The Arbitrator directed the Agency to raise the ratings to fully successful or better on all of the grievant's performance appraisals or evaluations given after July 1, 1989.
For the following reasons, we conclude that the portion of the award directing the Agency to raise the grievant's performance ratings is deficient. We will deny the Agency's exceptions to the remainder of the award.
II. Background and Arbitrator's Award
The grievant began to work for the Agency on February 28, 1988. She received her first performance appraisal on February 27, 1989, which covered the period from February 29, 1988, to January 31, 1989, and rated the grievant as "fully successful". A grievance which was filed protesting the grievant's performance appraisal alleged, among other things, that she had not received critical job elements (CJEs) for her position and that no performance plan had been issued prior to the performance appraisal.(1)
On August 30, 1989, the grievant received a memorandum containing her mid-year performance appraisal. The memorandum covered the period February 1, 1989, to August 30, 1989, and stated that the grievant was rated "unacceptable" as to CJE #1. The grievant was advised that she had sixty (60) days to improve to the "partially successful" level in order to remain in the Federal Service. The memorandum also stated that the grievant was rated "partially successful" on CJE #2. Based on these ratings, the grievant's supervisor decided to provide the grievant with on-the-job training.
On September 14, 1989, a grievance was filed alleging, among other things, that the August 30 memorandum was a misapplication of the Agency's regulations. The grievant requested to review the materials on which the performance appraisal was based. The Agency responded by stating that the supervisor would continue to assist the grievant. The Agency's response also contained the grievant's "performance appraisal" for February 1, 1989, to January 1, 1990, and "a statement of CJEs." Award at 3.(2) The award does not indicate whether this grievance was processed further.
Another grievance was filed on September 28, 1989, alleging, among other things, that the Agency had given the grievant the mid-year performance appraisal to retaliate against the grievant for the grievance she had filed in the immediately preceding rating period. The Agency responded that there had been no retaliation and that the August 30 memorandum was a semi-annual progress review and a notice of an opportunity for improvement period (OIP). On December 7, 1989, the Agency denied the September 28 grievance. The matter was not resolved and was submitted to arbitration. On January 3, 1990, the Agency issued a Notice of Proposed Removal to the grievant. The Agency discharged the grievant on March 3, 1990, for unacceptable performance of CJE #1.
Before the Arbitrator, the parties stipulated to the following two issues:
1. Was (Grievant) properly evaluated as Unsatisfactory at the semi-annual progress review?
2. Did (Grievant) receive proper training pursuant to FRA Order 3430.3 prior to the removal and subsequent to the Unsatisfactory performance rating.(3)
Award at 6.
The Arbitrator concluded that the grievant was improperly evaluated as unsatisfactory on her semi-annual performance appraisal. He found that the parties' Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and Agency regulations required that the employees participate with their supervisors in the development of performance standards for each CJE and that the supervisors review the CJEs with the employees to ensure they accurately reflect the duties of the job. Id. at 9-10. However, the Arbitrator did not find "a scintilla of evidence . . . even remotely suggesting that Grievant received the benefits of the consultations and discussions mandated by MOA Article VIII and FRA Order 3430.3." Id. at 10. The Arbitrator concluded that the failure of the grievant's supervisors to consult with her regarding her performance standards and CJEs, the absence of performance standards at the outset of her employment, "and the situation into which she was placed before issuance of [p]erformance [s]tandards and CJEs had an adverse effect . . . on her supervisor's appraisal of her performance." Id. Accordingly, the Arbitrator found that she had been improperly evaluated.
The Arbitrator also found that the grievant was assigned tasks without having been thoroughly trained in the use of the new computer system. Therefore, he concluded that the grievant did not receive proper training during her OIP. Id.
Accordingly, the Arbitrator sustained the grievance and directed the Agency "to substitute satisfactory or fully successful, or better, ratings on all documents, appraisals, and evaluations given Grievant by her immediate supervisor or supervisors after July 1, 1989." Id.
III. Positions of the Parties
A. The Agency
The Agency contends that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority by improperly expanding the scope of the issues submitted by the parties and that the award is contrary to law, rule or regulation.
The Agency argues that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority by considering whether the CJEs received by the grievant were properly established rather than considering whether the CJEs were properly applied to the grievant. The Agency states that under the Authority's decision in Social Security Administration and American Federation of Government Employees, AFL-CIO, 30 FLRA 1156 (1988) (SSA I), awards may not interfere with management's rights to establish performance standards and critical job elements. The Agency claims that the grievant failed to raise the issue of whether she was afforded the opportunity to participate in the establishment of her CJEs within the time limitations provided in the parties' MOA. Therefore, the Agency argues that that issue was not properly before the Arbitrator. In the alternative, the Agency contends that even if the Arbitrator properly considered establishment of the grievant's CJEs, the Agency's failure to provide an adequate opportunity for the grievant to participate in their establishment is not a sufficient basis on which to invalidate the CJEs. According to the Agency, this failure of the Agency would constitute harmless error.
Next, the Agency argues that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority by substituting his judgment for that of the Agency when he concluded that the grievant did not receive proper training during her OIP. The Agency maintains that the Arbitrator neither explained his conclusion nor established any nexus with the Agency's regulations, as the stipulated issue requires. The Agency claims that the Arbitrator's decision in this regard directly interferes with the Agency's right to assign work and determine the appropriate training necessary to accomplish that work under section 7106 of the Statute.
Finally, the Agency objects to the award, which requires the Agency to raise the grievant's performance appraisals given after July 1, 1989, to "fully successful, or better[.]" Exceptions at 5 (quoting award). The Agency states that under SSA I, the Arbitrator may not direct the Agency to reappraise the grievant without a determination that management has not applied the established performance standards or applied them in violation of law, regulation or contractual provision; nor may he determine what the grievants's rating would have been under a proper application of those standards without a sufficient basis in the record for making such a determination. Because the Arbitrator did not consider the application of the CJEs to the grievant, the Agency argues that there is no basis in the record for the Arbitrator's award.
B. The Union
The Union maintains that the Arbitrator did not exceed the scope of his authority in determining that the Agency failed to properly apply the CJEs to the grievant. According to the Union, there is a distinction between the establishment of CJEs and the proper application of CJEs to the employees. The Union claims that the Arbitrator did not examine the substance of the CJEs. Rather, the Arbitrator only determined whether they had been properly applied to the grievant. The Union argues that if the Agency violates its own rules and regulations in establishing and applying CJEs, then the grievant's performance cannot be properly rated. As the Arbitrator found that the Agency would have reached a different result if it had properly rated the grievant, the Union also argues that this finding is sufficient to support the Arbitrator's direction to raise the grievant's performance ratings.
The Union claims that the Arbitrator was within his authority to determine that the grievant did not receive proper training during her OIP, especially in view of the fact that the stipulated issue expressly required the Arbitrator to determine whether the grievant received proper training pursuant to FRA Order 3430.3. In addition, the Union contends that under the parties' negotiated grievance procedure, the Arbitrator has the authority to interpret contractual provisions and Agency regulations in the course of resolving disputes between the parties. Therefore, the Union argues that the Agency is merely disagreeing with the Arbitrator's interpretation of the Agency's regulations.
IV. Analysis and Conclusions
A. The Arbitrator Did Not Exceed His Authority by Expanding the Issues
The Agency contends that the Arbitrator exceeded his authority by improperly expanding the scope of the issues stipulated by the parties. An arbitrator exceeds his or her authority when, among other things, the arbitrator resolves an issue not submitted to arbitration. See U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1765, 43 FLRA No. 20, slip op. at 6 (1991).
According to the Arbitrator, the parties framed the first stipulated issue as follows: "Was [Grievant] properly evaluated as Unsatisfactory at the semi-annual progress review?" Award at 6. The Arbitrator determined that the parties' MOA and the applicable Agency regulation require that the Rating Official conduct a formal mid-year appraisal of each employee and provide the employee an opportunity to discuss objectives and to revise CJEs and performance standards. In essence, the Arbitrator concluded that the grievant's semi-annual performance appraisal encompassed the establishment and application of CJEs. He further found that the Agency's failure to engage in consultations with the grievant regarding her performance standards and CJEs and the absence of performance standards when she started the position had an adverse effect on her appraisal. Based on this conclusion, the Arbitrator found that the grievant was "improperly evaluated." Id. at 10. We conclude that the Arbitrator's findings were responsive to the stipulated issue. In view of the Arbitrator's finding that the establishment of performance objectives is a component of the appraisal process, the Arbitrator did not exceed the scope of his authority by examining the Agency's establishment of the CJEs.
We also conclude that the Arbitrator acted within the scope of his authority in determining that the Agency improperly applied the CJEs to the grievant. First, the Arbitrator made no findings as to the content of the established standards and he established no new standards. Rather, he determined that the Agency erred by appraising the grievant on established standards that had not been communicated to the grievant according to the provisions of the parties' MOA. As the Arbitrator did not invalidate the CJEs, we need not address the Agency's alternative argument that its failure to permit the grievant to participate in the establishment of the CJEs constituted harmless error.
We conclude that the Arbitrator did not exceed the scope of his authority by finding that the grievant did not receive proper training during her OIP. First, the parties stipulated the second issue for resolution to be whether the grievant "received proper training pursuant to FRA Order 3430.3 prior to [her] removal [but] subsequent to the Unsatisfactory performance rating." Id. at 6. As noted above, an arbitrator exceeds his authority when he resolves an issue not submitted to arbitration. We find the Arbitrator's decision to be within the stipulated issue.
We further conclude that the Arbitrator did not substitute his judgment for that of

Cheltenham 2017: Ulster horses in bold quest for Festival success
The Foxhunters on Gold Cup day is always the focus and annual target of local owners and riders - Anseanachai Cliste and Balnaslow represent Ulster connections this afternoon.
The former, owned and trained by Portadown-based Stephen McConville, was champion point to pointer last year and extended his unbeaten run to eight when recently returning to action at Armagh.
The horse is a family pet and will be partnered by the owner's son Michael on his first visit to Cheltenham.
Balnaslow is trained by Graham McKeever at Templepatrick for long-standing Ballyclare owner Peggy Hagan and is the mount of multiple Irish champion rider Derek O'Connor.
Downpatrick rider David Maxwell partners Mendip Express, which he also owns, and Banbridge-based Stephen Clements is on dual Foxhunter winner Salsify, but it will be hard to beat the hat-trick seeking On The Fringe with Jamie Codd in the saddle seeking further Cheltenham success.
Mega Fortune, formerly trained in County Tyrone by Andy Oliver prior to his purchase by Belfast bloodstock agent Kevin Ross, has had the opening Triumph Hurdle on his agenda since making a winning debut over hurdles at Down Royal in November last year. The son of Irish Derby winner Soldier Of Fortune is now trained by Gordon Elliott, who is on a roll this week.
Wakea was the very easy winner of the feature hurdle race at the Down Royal Festival and paid the price with a massive rise in the ratings.
However, the Karl Thornton-trained runner gets his preferred conditions in today's County Hurdle.
Joey Sasa was another to win last November at the local track. The pair hold solid each way claims.
Death Duty, for many of the Irish contingent, is a banker and won his second bumper at Down Royal since when he has this season established an unbeaten run of four wins over hurdles.
Runfordave is a very well fancied runner for the Templepatrick-based Sloan family in the concluding Martin Pipe Hurdle.

Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU), the biggest search engine of China, has come forward to support the taxi-booking app, Uber Technologies Inc., by purchasing a minority stake in the company. The recent round of funding put the app company at a whopping market valuation of $40 billion dwarfing automobile manufacturers such as Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA).
Uber has laid down plans to expand in China and the app-booking company is likely to start with 14 cities in the country. The company has received support from Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) and the search engine company is likely to invest up to $600 million in the car-booking service. The investment will be made in both cash and non-cash assets. As of now, Uber has its presence in Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Guangzhou and southern Shenzhen.
It is an excellent opportunity for Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) to expand its footprint in the industry considering its rivals including Alibaba Group Holding Ltd (NYSE:BABA) and Tencent Holdings Ltd (HKG:0700) already working in the field.
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd has investments in the largest taxi-booking app in China, Kuaidi Dache, which registered 54.4% business of the taxi-booking market of China at the end of the third quarter. Similarly, Tencent Holdings Ltd (HKG:0700) is backing Didi Dache, which has 44.9% market share at the end of the third quarter.
As per the market experts, this is an excellent opportunity for both the companies and Li Yujie of RHB Research Institute Sdn Hong Kong said,
“Uber needs a local player like Baidu that really understands the Chinese market. Baidu is trying to promote its mobile payment system, Uber would help it gain more traffic and boost its location-based services.”
Baidu Inc (ADR) (NASDAQ:BIDU) is holding an event on December 17 titled “Uber Press Conference” and the company is likely to make further announcement in the event itself.

“ Brand: La Cafetiere / Type: Manual / Subcategory: Coffee Press „
What do you get when you put a cafetiere and a hot chocolate frother together? A chocolatiere!!!
This is a black and white ceramic pot in the style of a cafetiere, you apply the hot chocolate granules and pour the milk in once you have warmed it up to the right temperature you like and then pour on top of the milk. The best thing to do is only fill up a quarter of the way or half the pot maximum, any more than that and you will risk a chocolate carnage all over your kitchen!
When you plunge down as you would with a cafetiere, you keep retracting the plunger until you mix the powder and milk and create a foam topping as you would a normal hot chocolate.
You can use any milk, any type of chocolate and get the same results.
This is a little hard work and the foam develops better with fresh milk.
Although this is a ceramic pot, it feels extremely light and quite cheap and you almost get a sense this couldn't last but it is effective, easy to clean and fun for any hot chocolate lover.
We also use this, as recommend by the company, to make milkshakes, so this doubles up nicely as a product to get more use out of it.
You will have to hold this down well when using the plunger, but in their newer designs they have now attached a silicon mat.
The web site you can find this on is LACAFETIERE.COM
I purchased mine from Whittard of Chelsea a few years ago for £20 but would love to update now as they have a range of colours online and choice, prices vary so best to shop around,

PORTLAND, Ore. - Kings co-owners Joe and Gavin Maloof made it clear from the start of this season that 'In Geoff we trust' was still their mantra even after the franchise-low 17-win campaign in 2008-09.
And after Joe Maloof told Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski that they would "sit down soon" with Petrie to discuss a contract extension, I caught up with him this morning on the topic. There will be more in tomorrow's paper, but this is Joe Maloof on the state of affairs on that front.
"I think we want to visit (extension talks) fairly soon, and we want to look at it within the next couple weeks. We'll sit down with Geoff, and discuss the state of the franchise, talk to him about his feelings on the team, how he feels about the situation and go from there and try to work a nice agreement for both parties. We want to sit down in Sacramento. I'll be there for rest of the month.
On whether he thinks the eventual negotiations present any significant hurdle to getting it done. Petrie is among the league's highest-paid general managers under his current contract that expires after this season, earning $4.6 million this season...
"No, I don't think there will be any tough negotiation. I don't think he even has an agent. We just have that kind of a relationship. I just feel very confident (it will get done). I feel that it's going to get done, and it'll be fair for both sides...The world's not the same as it was (business-wise), nobody in the country is doing business the way it was done before."
On the motivation to get it done now rather than the end of the season...
"I think the community really really loves Geoff Petrie. They like him. He has proven himself. He is one of the community. People like him. He does a lot in the community. I think we need to some good news, and I think good news would be to have Geoff sign.
"I think that he's a proven winner, he's got a talent like nobody else in the league at spotting great players. Nobody has been able to do things he's done through the draft - we had three rookies on the court the other night and two second-year guys and we're competing (against Minnesota) and won by 20 points. I think he wants to see this through. Like all of us, we go up and down. We understand that. That's part of the game. We're taking a few punches. That's alright, now we're going to start dishing some out." - Sam Amick

Judging by the flow of jazz masterpieces recorded that year — among them, the Columbia Records classics Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis, and Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus — 1959 may indeed be described as the landmark year in the history of modern jazz recording.
In celebration of “1959 – Jazz’s Greatest Year,” all three of those albums have been reconfigured as multi-disc expanded editions (either with an additional audio CD, or video DVD, or both). With brand-new liner notes essays also planned for each title, these new editions of Time Out, Sketches of Spain, and Mingus Ah Um will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting May 26th through Columbia/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.
The confluence of ground-breaking jazz albums issued in 1959 is a subject that has fascinated scholars and critics for the better part of a half-century. The same year that saw the deaths of jazz icons Lester Young in March, Sidney Bechet in May, and Billie Holiday in July, also included the releases of Kind Of Blue by Miles (which was reissued in January 2009 as a deluxe double-CD Legacy Edition), Blues and Roots by Mingus, John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come, The Genius Of Ray Charles, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco, the Oscar Peterson Songbook series, and Duke Ellington’s soundtrack for Anatomy Of A Murder, to name a few.
Columbia revolutionized the industry with the introduction of the long-playing (LP) 33 1/3 rpm microgroove vinyl disc in the spring of 1948 — whose 12-inch configuration could hold up to 26 minutes of music. Within a decade, jazz composers (and bandleaders) were taking full advantage of the scope of the LP, with longer conceptual pieces containing multiple movements and extended improvisations. The advent of the live performance LP also came into its own during the 1950s, and such favorites as the Woody Herman Band’s Live At Monterey (1959) and Ray Charles’ What’d I Say (1959) found their way into many collections.
Legendary Columbia Records producer Teo Macero produced both Time Out and Mingus Ah Um, and co-produced Sketches of Spain with Irving Townsend.
Individually, “1959 – Jazz’s Greatest Year” celebrates the following.
Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet: Exotic non-traditional rhythm signatures became one of the trademarks of the quartet, with Brubeck on piano, Paul Desmond on alto saxophone, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello. A 5/4 vamp turned “Take Five” into an instrumental jazz staple and jukebox hit single b/w “Blue Rondo a La Turk.” The LP hit #2, stayed on the chart for more than three years, and became the first jazz album to sell a million copies. Liner notes for the 2009 edition of Time Out (which will contain a DVD documentary) are written by Ted Gioia, whose book West Coast Jazz (1998) contains two chapters devoted to Brubeck.
Sketches of Spain by Miles Davis: Each of Miles’ four orchestral album collaborations with arranger-composer Gil Evans — Miles Ahead (1957), Porgy And Bess (1958), Sketches Of Spain (1959), and Quiet Nights (1962) — was a masterwork in its own right. Sketches was Miles’ first post-Kind Of Blue project, and retains that LP’s modal feel on the 16-minute version of Rodrigo’s “Concierto de Aranjuez,’ the inspiration for Davis and Evans. Liner notes for the 2009 edition of Sketches are written by composer academician Gunther Schuller, whose hundreds of accomplishments in jazz include playing French horn for Miles on the 1949-50 Birth Of The Cool sessions. Sketches was recorded in 1959 and released in 1960.
Mingus Ah Um by Charles Mingus: 2009 also marks the 30th anniversary of the death of the mercurial bandleader-composer, who had the budget at Columbia to double his two-horn front-line for the big sound of “Better Git It In Your Soul” and “Fables Of Faubus”, and homages to jazz greats Ellington (“Open Letter To Duke”), Morton (“Jelly Roll”), recently deceased Lester Young (“Goodbye Pork Pie Hat”), and Mingus himself (“Self-Portrait in Three Colors”). The film noir quality of this album — considered to be one of the five truly essential Mingus LPs — predates a certain vein of film music later popularized by Henry Mancini. Liner notes for the 2009 edition of Mingus Ah Um are written by three-time Grammy Award-winning producer-annotator Michael Cuscuna.

If you’ve got a Kamado-style cooker, you’ve probably heard the term, chasing temps. This is where people become almost obsessed with achieving and maintaining the perfect temperature in their Kamado. And it can suck some of the fun out of the whole experience.
One start-up, IOT Controls, seems to have a solid solution: a WiFi enabled robotic temperature controller it aptly calls, the SMOBOT. We found it on Kickstarter and it seems to be doing OK (about half-funded at the time of this writing), but time for the all-or-nothing campaign is coming to an end on April 6th (2017). The company does say that its crowdfunding effort is being used to finish product development, and since it seems pretty far along, we’re betting it’ll move forward regardless of its Kickstarter success.
SMOBOT is a robotic damper that attaches to the top vent of most Kamado style smokers, like the popular Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, and Primo Grills. The SMOBOT monitors the internal temperature of the smoker using a high-temperature probe. That probe tells the SMOBOT how much the damper should be opened or closed to maintain the desired temperature.
According to its inventors, SMOBOT was designed to allow Kamado smokers to work as intended—by controlling natural airflow. They say the SMOBOT doesn’t do anything a human wouldn’t be doing anyways—it just does it automatically.
SMOBOT is Wi-Fi-enabled, allowing users to monitor their smoker from anywhere. Its accompanying cloud-based application, mySMOBOT, provides information about current grill and food temperatures, as well as real-time graphing to monitor trends that you can learn from once you determine just how good (or bad) your meal turned out. MySMOBOT also provides alerts based on pre-set conditions to ensure users are informed without having to constantly look at their mobile devices for updates.
IOT Controls expects to ship SMOBOT units to crowdfunding backers by June (2017). The minimum investment to become a backer of the campaign is $229, which is lower than what the company says will be its final retail price. You can also learn more at on the product website, SMOBOT.com.

Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond MP has confirmed in his budget today £690 million of funding for local authorities to tackle the growing problem of urban congestion, and get local transport networks moving again. However, fuel duty remains frozen and a review of taxation of diesel vehicles has been delayed until the autumn.
Commenting on the announcement, Claire Haigh, Chief Executive of Greener Journeys, the sustainable transport campaigning group, said:
“Congestion is strangling towns and cities across the UK, bringing urban centres to a standstill and costing the economy more than £13 billion each year. We are delighted the Chancellor has acknowledged the severity of this problem, and await with interest further details of the £690 million fund to ease traffic on the worst pinch points in local transport networks.
“Investment in bus priority measures and bus infrastructure can ease congestion and reduce roadside emissions, delivering £7 of economic benefit for every £1 invested. The Department for Transport must ensure these funds are allocated to measures which make public transport a more convenient and appealing travel option for drivers.
“This funding is a step in the right direction. But if this Government is serious about tackling congestion, and confronting the emerging public health threat caused by roadside air pollution, it must have the courage to confront the root cause of the issue – rising car use.
“While fuel duty remains frozen and the cost of driving remains low, we can only expect traffic and pollution levels to get worse. Only by raising duty and the cost of driving the dirtiest diesel vehicles can we encourage people out of their cars and tackle the congestion and air quality problems once and for all.”

About Greener Journeys: Greener Journeys is a campaign dedicated to encouraging people to make more sustainable travel choices. It is a coalition of the UK’s leading public transport organizations, user groups and supporters. It aims to reduce CO2 emissions from transport by encouraging people to switch some of their car journeys to bus or coach instead. Switching from car to bus for just one journey a month would mean one billion fewer car journeys on our roads and would save 2 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

Billboard #1 Hits: #9 “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”-The Platters. #1-January 19, 1959 for 3 weeks. Mercury Records. Written by Otto Harbach and Jerome Kern. Genre: Doo-Wop. Time: 2:40. B-side: No Matter What You Are.” Grade: A+
“Smoke Gets In Your Eye” was written back in 1933 for the musical Roberta. Sung during the play by Tamara Drasin. It was first recorded by Gertrude Niesen- and the orchestral direction from Frank Sinatra’s second cousin Ray Sinatra. The most well known version of the song is this single by The Platters which went to #1- it also went to #1 in the UK singles chart where it spent 20 weeks on the chart. Buck Ram the producer said that one of the writers Otto Harbach liked the recording but the widow of Jerome Kern the other writer hated it so much she considered suing to prevent its distribution. I am sure she accepted the money she had coming in though from the royalties.

Nature takes its toll on asphalt. Praised for its affordability and aesthetic, asphalt nevertheless falls prey to the natural elements, as well as human error like excessive wear and poor installations. The good news is a few small cracks here and there are easily remedied with asphalt repair.
Take a look at which factors deteriorate asphalt and how a sealcoating contractor can fix the damage.
Heat from the sun
Sunlight bears down on pavement all year long. While excessive moisture can damage asphalt, pavement needs an appropriate level of moisture in order to maintain its flexibility. Over time, heat will make the surface layer brittle and prone to cracks. Dried asphalt is more likely to crack from vehicle and foot traffic.
Sunlight exposure is unavoidable; however, you can reduce the risk of cracking with a sealcoat. A sealcoating treatment will restore the asphalt’s flexibility and help it resist the drying effects of the sun. Schedule an appointment with your local sealcoating contractor so that your driveway can receive the best quality possible.
The surface of asphalt gradually breaks down when heavy loads are left stationary for long periods of time. Excessive weight from parked trucks, trailers and RVs creates pressure on a localized spot, causing the asphalt to sag and develop cracks. Some roads are designed for smaller vehicles only and will crack if load-bearing trucks frequently drive on it.
Unlike exposure to sunlight, excessive and/or stationary weight is easy to avoid. Move parked vehicles on a regular basis, so their weight is evenly distributed throughout the pavement. This will reduce the need for asphalt repair and extend the lifespan of your driveway.
Rainwater and runoff
Water is the biggest threat to asphalt. Moisture starts to penetrate asphalt’s surface layer as soon as the installation is complete. Rainwater leaks into the smallest fissures, expanding over time and causing the asphalt to crack even more. Water eventually trickles into the foundation where it washes away sand and gravel. This creates an unstable base layer, which in turn causes the asphalt to shift and crack.
It’s impossible to stop moisture from entering the asphalt altogether. However, repairing small cracks early on can minimize overall damage and spare you the cost of installing a whole new driveway. Ask a sealcoating contractor to fill cracks before they grow larger and create a system that directs runoff away from the pavement.
Shifts in the ground
The ground experiences natural shifts year-round. Ground movement occurs during frost-and-thaw cycles as well as long periods of rain or drought. Soil with a high concentration of clay is also more prone to shifting. When the ground shifts, it disrupts the base layer of sand and gravel. Unstable foundations cause asphalt to crack. While ground movements are unavoidable, a good contractor can restore your driveway back to its original state.
Asphalt will eventually reveal signs of wear and tear. With a little bit of preventative maintenance, homeowners can keep damage to a minimum and get the most out of their driveway installations. The professionals at Sunstar Seal Coating, Inc. specialize in asphalt repairs, so you never have to worry about faded or cracked pavement again.

Deutsches Buch-und Schriftenmuseum der Deutschen Bücherei Leipzig (German Book and Scripture Museum at the German Library, Leipzig)
Research into Nazi-confiscated cultural property in the museum's collection
The German Library, of which the museum is part, intends to undertake detailed research into all its collections in order to identify items that may have entered the collection through "book confiscations in the occupied countries or from emigrants".
Research into cultural property missing from the museum
In September 1945, incunabula were removed from the museum's collection by the Soviet occupation forces. These are today located in the Russian State Library in Moscow. More information on these incunabula can be obtained here.

Heidi Holton -
Deep in the heart of southern Appalachia, sounds from the Mississippi delta echo through the lush mountain air, haunting the fretboard of Heidi Holton’s well-worn Gibson guitar. Original and fresh, traditional with a contemporary flair, Heidi is turning heads with her mastery of the music of the deep south. Her songwriting shines like the sweet glistening sweat on the brow of a Piedmont preacher behind the pulpit on a sultry Sunday afternoon. Following in the footsteps of guitar-slingers like Memphis Minnie and Reverend Gary Davis, Heidi Holton is making a name for herself in the international blues community.
A 15 year old Heidi found a copy of Hot Tuna’s first album in her dad’s record collection, and was so inspired by the elegant fingerstyle blues guitar of the legendary Jorma Kaukonen (Jefferson Airplane) that she bought a $60 guitar from a drug store in Ducktown, TN and began to hone her skills. When an opportunity to study with Jorma arose a decade later, Holton strapped an acoustic guitar to the back of her motorcycle and headed north from New Orleans to Ohio. She found a mentor and kindred spirit in Jorma and quickly became an accomplished finger picker and slide guitar player. With her musical skills on a new level, Holton recorded her darkly seductive debut album, “Mockingbird Blues” in 2016.
It wasn't long before people began to take notice - including the iconic blues woman and national treasure Rory Block, who produced Heidi’s sophomore release. “Why Mama Cries” (released in 2018) includes Heidi’s damn near definitive version of the standard “You Got To Move,” and positively brilliant Mississippi Fred McDowell inspired original, “Hardest Card To Play;” the whole album is a stunning step forward. Rory must’ve thought so too, because the project forged a friendship that led to a whirlwind year of snowy road trips across the USA and into Canada. By the end of their latest wander, Heidi had enough new material to begin the writing and recording process on her upcoming album, “Black Strap Molasses,” which was written, recorded, and produced at Rory’s home studio between their adventures together.
Heidi doesn’t perform so much as she casts a spell on her audience. There’s some serious voodoo going on in her live shows as she sways and moves to the sweet sting of her acoustic slide, raising a hand in the air and stomping her foot. She holds the crowd in that raised hand; you could hear a pin drop. She’s got them.
Popular demand keeps Heidi busy playing about 150 shows a year to a wide variety of audiences. She recently completed a four week tour in Italy, and plans to perform in the UK in the summer of 2019. She has opened for Jorma Kaukonen, Rory Block, and Roy Bookbinder and is a regular performer at the Arts and Minds Festival at the Fur Peace Ranch. In the words of her friend and mentor Jorma: “People often ask me if I ever worry about the future of our music. With artists like Heidi… the future is safe.”

Genghis Khan. Nomads with epic hats. Nomads who train wild eagles. Camels. Herding goats to their appropriate goat quarters before sunset. Asia’s largest desert. Sand dunes – (I hiked one!)
I’ve dreamt of going to Mongolia for years now. Before my backpacking trip around China, I thought I would start in the capital city of Ulaanbaatar, sleeping in a few yurts (or a Ger, as they call them in Mongolian) along the way before heading south to China.
I didn’t end up going. Four years later, last month after teaching for a year and a half in South Korea I flew from Seoul to Ulaanbaatar.
I landed in a sprawling, golden and mountainous paradise, followed by a frenzy of taxi touts at the airport. Compared to the bright lights of Seoul, being in Mongolia’s most populous city (or only city) I felt like I was in the countryside. I checked in at Sunpath Guesthouse (and Tours) and relaxed in the cozy house turned hostel on Peace Avenue.
I was in Mongolia.
After a day of exploring the country’s oldest Buddhist temple (similar to Tibetan Buddhism, just a different Lama), a wander down the main road followed by dinner on a patio with new friends, a late sunset (10 p.m!) yummy Mongolian beer and dumplings with sour cream I wasn’t ready for a week tour of the countryside. I wanted more city vibes! Patio dinners and sour cream…it had been so long. It had been so long since any type of dinner before sunset, for that matter.
In Korea the only meal while the sun is up is lunch, and a boiling hot pot of “hangover soup” early in the morning.
My friend Jean woke up the next morning jet-lagged, and I woke up with a sore throat and a slight fever. “Great, I’m headed to the desert today,” I thought. Perfect timing. I hadn’t been sick in over a year. I couldn’t stop sniffling for the longest time. I’m still convinced it was my sinuses adjusting to the lack of smog.
They were confused. I was confused. I’m still confused. I’m not sure what continent I’m on right now. Is the Black Sea the part that separates Europe from Asia? Was I in Asia when I arrived in Bishkek, where people shook hands and ate with forks? A lot to ponder. More world to see.
We lucked-out with the sharpest and most appropriately named guide for our tour. A lady named Bogi. We were headed to the desert Gobi, with Bogi! We told her later that she should start her own tour company. “See the Gobi with Bogi!” #gobiwithbogi. So many options, we told her, while relaxing outside of our ger one evening as we played the ankle bone game. It’s a game where you roll pieces of goats ankle bones (cleaned and meat already eaten, of course) like dice. Then you flick the bones to the matching ones. Repeat. Yes, Mongolia is so hardcore that even their leisure play involves parts of an animal carcass.
Bogi is a lovely woman from the Eastern Gobi desert, who works as a guide in the summer (tourist season May-October) while her husband takes care of their son. He then works the rest of the year, while Bogi seeks shelter from the harsh Mongolian winters in the city.
One world for Mongolia: VAST. It’s pretty vast. The epitome of vast. Vastness personified in one beautiful country. We would drive in an old Russian van through the countryside, and maybe once a day we’d see a town. One town.
Every second day we’d stop in a town for lunch on the way to another Gobi site, before settling into a ger for the night. We’d play with nomad kids and have dinner in a cozy ger before an inevitable trip to an outhouse in the middle of nowhere. You haven’t peed outside until you’ve peed in front of about a hundred goats starring at you.
All the tour groups who travel by Russian vans with modest travel companies are a way for the nomads to earn some extra income, who host different groups almost every night during the high season.
The woman in charge of the household always greeted us with a fresh bowl of goat (sometimes camel) milk, as per Mongolian custom. We rode camels, horses (the horses were more fun, but the camels so pretty) and I think my fever broke when I hiked the sand dunes after dinner on the fourth day of the tour.
One day was an ancient monastery, another was a beautiful spot called the “flaming cliffs”.
My favourite day of our tour in Mongolia was walking through a valley as we approached the desert. The valley, Yol Valley, is home to these tiny little animals called “pikas”, which Pikachu was named after.
Jean and I spotted about 30 of them before they’d run into their little holes.
Along the way, we saw the locals prepare for the annual Nadaam Festival which happens every July by racing their horses around. Some little boys even do it without a saddle. Mongolians eat mostly meat, and their “milk tea” consists of pure and fresh goat or cow’s milk, and a lot of people know how to ride horses bareback. Mongolians don’t mess around.
When are you planning to visit? Personally, I feel feistier, healthier and overall more awesome since stepping foot in Genghis Khan’s homeland.

I can't believe we live in such a cold world. When I say hello to people from my wheelchair, often they just ignore me. Are there that many dead people walking around?
I had 13 strokes, but it beats being dead. God brought me back four times. It's real scary.

As I reported here, Juckes et al 2006 stated that the source code for MM05 (GRL) was not "available". On Oct 29, I objected to Juckes and coauthors about this false claim. It turned out that Juckes had been unable to locate the relevant code and had been remarkably ineffective in his efforts to locate the code. Let’s look at how he’s tried to justify this.
On Oct 29 (Eastern 8.46 am; 13 46 GMT) , I emailed Juckes and coauthors as follows:
As you either know or should know, the code used in McIntyre and McKitrick 2005 is available at the Supplementary Information to the article at ftp://ftp.agu.org/apend/gl/2004GL021750, as is made clear in the article itself. (The code for MM05 (EE) and MM03 (EE) are at http://www.climate2003.com/scripts/MM05_EE and http://www.climate2003.com/scripts/MM03 respectively). The Wegman Report specifically noted that they verified availability of our source code at the time of their report last summer. Previously, both Huybers and Wahl and Ammann had examined the source code, neither of whom required any assistance from me. Huybers annotated the code in his Supplementary Information.
On Oct 31 (Eastern 955 am 14 55 GMT), Juckes replied:
Thank you for the correction: The citation at that point in our article should be to the Energy and Environment article (which we refer to as MM2005c) and not MM2005 as it stands. I’m sorry for this mistake. I had an email from you at the start of this year saying the code used by MM2005c was not then available (and that you would inform me when it was), but since the situation has been remedied I will correct the text accordingly.I was, I think, also thrown off the track by your web-site which says "The computer script used to generate the figures and statistics in the E&E here will be located here [in a couple of days]." It might help to avoid further confusion if the page you refer to below was linked to from your site.
However, I note that the code available at http://www.climate2003.com/scripts/MM05_EE requires the function NHbeta in order to compute the reconstructions for figure 1 of your 2005 Energy and Environment paper. This function is not defined in any of the scripts I could find at http://www.climate2003.com/scripts. Can you tell me where to find this function?
On Oct 31 ( yahoo 4.33 pm; 16 33 GMT) , I uploaded the file "ee2005.functions.txt" with the requested function NHbeta to http://www.climate2003.com/scripts/MM05b.
On Oct 31 (yahoo 11.54 pm; 23 54 GMT), I uploaded an edited backup script producing figures and statistics "backup.txt", which included a commentary on MM05 Figure 2, about which I’d heard that Juckes had concerns. I’ll post some more on MM05b Figure 2, but, in brief, the observation about the "perverse" flipping property of the Mannian PC method was correct.
Martin’s Big Day – November 2
Here is a riveting episode of 24.
05 29 GMT (Eastern 12.29 am) – I notified Juckes as follows that the function NHbeta had been uploaded and went to bed.
Your statement, as it stands, is untrue about source code for either article – MM05(GRL) or MM05(EE). Source code for MM05 (GRL) was archived in January 2005. Source code for MM05 (EE) was archived on March 1, 2006, shortly after your original inquiry, but long before the submission of your article to Climates of the Past. If you propose to simply substitute an untrue statement about MM05(EE) code for an untrue statement about MM05(GRL) code, that is unacceptable to me. Further, given that your allegation occurs in the context of a discussion of principal components — an issue treated in MM05 (GRL) to which your text currently refers, your proposed substitution is opportunistic as well as untrue.
In response to your query about the function NHbeta, I have uploaded this function. I have also made a couple of slight edits to the backup script so that references to local directories are replaced by references to online directories to enhance the script so that it is as turnkey as possible. (I have continued to archive the original scripts.) In March 2006, I inadvertently uploaded a file containing the function NHgamma, a slight modification of NHbeta. I apologize for this oversight. However, the differences between NHgamma and NHbeta are immaterial to the issues at hand, as the differences only pertain to the handling of undocumented MBH re-scaling and the relevant methods are documented in NHgamma. The modifications were made in response to new information on MBH methodology, which became available during 2005.
Your paper purports to carry out an intercomparison and evaluation of millennial paleoclimate reconstructions. To our knowledge, ours were the first studies in the field which provided source code so that results could be directly tracked and, to date, are the only studies in this field in which figures and statistical results can be replicated from an online script. (Wahl and Ammann, following our example, have provided considerable documentation, but fall well short of providing an equivalent script that generates their figures and statistics.) None of your coauthors have archived code for any of their articles; in some cases, they have even failed to archive their data as used or to provide accurate data citations for their articles and have refused or failed to provide this information upon request.
If you wish to intercompare and evaluate availability of source code for paleoclimate studies, I strongly welcome the effort. However, any attempt to disparage our efforts in providing source code through untrue or misleading statements or any caviling about these efforts while omitting to discuss the record of your coauthors can only be interpreted as an intentional effort by you and your coauthors to provide a misleading representation of the research record.
By only objecting at this time to this particular allegation, please do not consider that this constitutes acquiescence with any other statements in the article. I have made an immediate objection to this particular allegation because, given our emphasis on code availability, your false claims are both disparaging and defamatory and well outside the bounds of academic give-and-take. I intend to respond to scientific and statistical issues in other venues over the next few weeks.
I re-iterate that I am not prepared to acquiesce in your presentation of untrue and defamatory statements about source code availability or to acquiesce in your presentation of a misleading representation of the research record on availability of paleoclimate source code. I re-iterate my previous notice requiring that you immediately amend your submission so that it contains no such untrue and defamatory statements.
09 48 GMT (Eastern 4.48 am) Juckes sent me an email reply, twitting me about supposed "uncertainty" about what we had done and saying of the secondary website:
I notice that your website still contains the statement: "The computer script used to generate the figures and statistics in the E&E here will be located here [in a couple of days]" which may lead many people to think that the code is not yet available.I appreciate that you have disclosed more code than is normal in this and other fields of research. Our paper is an intercomparison of reconstructions: the statement about unavailability of your code was only there because there is uncertainty about the interpretation of your results which would be easily resolved if the code had been available. As many people would assume, on the basis of your many writings on this issue, that the code was available I thought it was worth pointing out that it was not (though we could of course have found it if we had happened upon the web page you have now disclosed to us).
14 24 GMT (2.24 pm yahoo) – I uploaded a new Index page for climate2003.com removing the stale index page and inserting a link to the MM05b SI.
15 17 GMT (9.17 am blog time) – I posted up new version of Figure 2 at climateaudit here
16 04 (Juckes blog time). Juckes archived the file 2004GL021705-NOAMER.txt downloaded from AGU (originally archived by us in January 2005.)
16 04 (Juckes time) Juckes archived ee2005.functions.oct.txt.
16 07 (Juckes time) Juckes made a directory for Mc-Mc files.
16 13 (Juckes time) Juckes saved Fig 2p.txt
16 14 (Juckes time) Juckes saved Fig 2.txt
16.14 (Juckes time) Juckes made a zip file of these above four files.
16 15 Juckes made a pdf directory.
16:15 (Juckes time) Juckes posted up Comment on Figure 2 here , asserting an "Error" in MM05. I guess that he was quivering with excitement. In this Comment, which I will discuss separately, he made no reference to the re-stated Figure 2 posted earlier that day at climateaudit – and explicitly documented in the revised script of Oct 31, 2006 to which I’d directed him.
17 40 (CPD time – presumably GMT) . Juckes posted up his "Correction" at CPD in which he stated:
At the present time this page is not linked to from the main site (www.climate2003.com), which contains the statement that “The computer script used to generate the figures and statistics in the E&E here will be located here [in a couple of days]” Our intended comment (that the code used by MM2005c was not available) was based on the above statement and on an email from Stephen McIntyre to us saying that he would forward the code when it became available. He first informed us of its availability after the publication of our manuscriptIntro page modified at MITIRE to link to new docs.
The Next Day Nov 3, 2006
10 48 GMT (4.34 am blog time) Juckes wrote to CA as follows:
Firstly I’d like to apologise for an error in our manuscript: On page 19, line 6, the manuscript states: “The code used by MM2005 is not, at the time of writing, available”: This comment should have referred to the code used by MM2005c (their Energy and Environment paper) “¢’¬? the code used by MM2005 (their GRL paper) was made available at time of publication.We apologise to McIntyre and McKitrick for suggesting that the code for MM2005 was unavailable when it was in fact the code for MM2005c which we had not been able to obtain, and note that they have made efforts to provide code for this and other publications which go beyond the norm in this field.
Further details are on the Climate of the Past Discussion site, where anyone is welcome to post a comment.
Stephen McIntyre has now made the code for their Energy and Environment paper available to us (though his http://www.climate2003.com site still declares that it is unavailable). Interestingly, given the strong emphasis of McIntyre and McKitrick’s 2005 Energy and Environment paper on the importance of centering data for principal component calculations this step appears to have been omitted for figure 2 of their paper, which displays a principal component of uncentred data. Further details are available at mitrie.badc.rl.ac.uk.
Concerning the code, this is provided in the spirit of transparency. I fully agree with the comment above that python should not be judged on the basis of this code.
13 20 GMT (7.20 am blog time) Juckes writes in to CA as follows:
Response to comment 32. The lower two curves in the plot are calculated using the MBH method, centred on the calibration period, which is described in the caption as “decentred”, i.e. not centred on the complet data record. The upper two curves, which are described in the caption as “Above: PC1 using centred calculations” are calculated without centering of any kind. The discussion on page 77 of the paper makes it clear that the authors intend to show the contrast between the MBH PC and a centred PC, but what is plotted in the figure is a comparison between the MBH PC and a PC calculated with no centering.
Response to comment 33: I have never advocated that code should always be disclosed. For the record, I asked for the code for the McIntyre and McKitrick 2005 paper in December 2005, and it was not provided. I checked Stephen McIntyre’s website prior to submission and found a line clearly saying that the code was not yet available. It has now been provided and, as I acknowledge, this goes beyomd what is normal in the field.
13 35 GMT 7.35 am blog time. I wrote at CA:
I will revert on a number of points here more fully. I wish to note for the record that the stale index webpage at http://www.climate2003.com was updated yesterday (November 2, 2006) and that a direct link to the Supplementary Information for MM05 was placed on the index page. This change was made promptly after the matter was brought to my attention. The date of the change is recorded at the website and, if Juckes wishes confirmation, I will provide an access password to coauthor Zorita to confirm this. I presume that Juckes either did not double-check the webpage when he submitted his correction or possibly he may have inadvertently used a cached version.
Second, on the issue of EE Figure 2, when the matter was brought to my attention, I edited the backup script on Oct 31, 2006, including a commentary and a script to produce a re-stated version of Figure 2 using prcomp. I posted this re-stated version at climateaudit on Nov 2 here . Juckes discusses Figure 2, but failed to discuss the comments as of Oct 31, 2006.
14 24 GMT (8.24 am blog time) Juckes replied:
Hello Stephen,As you are no doubt aware, my update to the Climate of the Past Discussion site was posted yesterday, Nov 2nd, not today. Concerning your revised figure 2, would you confirm that you still have a minus sign multiplying the centred PC, and that without this minus sign the effect of the adjustment to the non-BCP is to decrease the PC in the first 50 years, as it does for the MBH PC?
1457 GMT (8.57 am blog time) Juckes again:
See http://www.cosis.net/members/journals/df/article.php?PHPSESSID=fb8156e80bb4fef23d9f9e1c22527f86&a_id=4661 for further details of the correction to our paper. I haven’t responded on this page previously because Stephen McIntyre only drew my attention to the related discussion on http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=886.Regarding comment 83 above, the centred PC would also show what Stephen McIntyre calls `this perverse property of the Mann method’ if Stephen didn’t have a “-” in his code inverting the centred PC. I am sure this is an oversight.
1530 GMT (9.30 am blog) Juckes again:
The sign of the Principal Component is arbitrary, I only mentioned it because you appear to attach importance to the direction of the perturbation.As regards the difference between your centred PC and the Mann et al. PC, would you agree that this is partly due to the fact that you have not normalised the data, so that proxy series with high variance contribute disproportionately to your PC? If the data is normalised (by setting cor=TRUE in the call to princomp) the leading PC does reflect the anomalous growth in the 20th century, though it is still significantly different from the Mann et al. PC. Wouldn’t you agree that using normalised data is appropriate here?
As far as I can tell from your modified site, it was updated after I posted the comment yesterday, but if I’ve got that wrong, and the check I made on your site yesterday got information from a cache for some reason, please accpet my apologies.
Just a brief comment in response to 41: the paper is on a discussion site, the idea is that the site can act as a forum for discussion (hence the name). This is slightly different from traditional printed publications.
15 49 (949 am blog time) Juckes:
So have you contacted the editor of Energy and Environment about the mistake in your published paper
Juckes seems to be absolutely frothing with excitement here.
17 40 (CPD time) Juckes wrote a "Clarification" at CPD as follows:
I’ve been asked to clarify that “Åat the present time’ in the AC S516 refers to the time I was writing the document, not when it was posted a few hours later — by which time the site had been amended to reflect the availability of McIntyre and McKitrick’s code. Detailed discussion on this and related issues can be found at
http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=880 and http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=886
Oddly enough, we have a rather nice little time line of Juckes’ activities on November 2. The webpage was amended at 14 24 GMT and the Correction was online at 17 40
GMT. update – Martin Juckes suggests that the surmise that CPD is GMT is an assumption; at present, the submission is timed only to CPD time, which appears to be GMT time, but might be GMT plus one hour.) So the amendment was over 3 hours (update – perhaps 2 hours) before the submission of AC S516. We have direct evidence of Juckes working on these matters between 16 04 and 16 15 and then submitting the "correction" at 17 40 (perhaps 16 40). My personal belief (although the evidence is merely circumstantial) is that Juckes wrote the Correction after 14 24 and that the amendment had already taken place when he "was writing the document".
Juckes could easily have said that he didn’t think about re-checking the webpage at the time that he was writing the article and apologized. That would have been the simplest course of action. Now after already making a couple of untrue statements about this matter, he’s made one more claim that seems very suspicious to me.

In Reply to: Flying over seas with green conure posted by Magdalena on Sun, May 13 2012 at 06:06 PM CDT:
Birds are shipped by air all the time, and if you get a carrier that fits under the seat in front of you, you can take them in the cabin with you -- you need approval from the airline, but most will allow one or two pets in the cabin per flight. I flew with a cat once. From Spain to California.
You might want to extend your layover and go for a pet friendly hotel room if you can find one, to give you both a break! But well socialized birds travel much better than cats do, and my cat survived.
If not clipped, you might want to consider it as there is extra risk of a mishap when not in your familiar surroundings. Security made me take my cat out of the carrier coming into the US, which made me very upset, but I was unable to talk them out of it.
If you can't find a friend you trust to take your bird and you can't bring him home with you, look for a reputable rescue in your area.

The father of a 14-year-old boy killed last year during an illegal drag race has filed a wrongful-death suit against the racers and an off-duty sheriff's deputy who witnessed the crash.
In his lawsuit filed last week, John R. Gomez blames the driver, Mykel Balderas, for the death of his son because Balderas was allegedly driving while drunk on March 31, 2002. The lawsuit also accuses street racer Andre Mucelroy and Williford Burton III, a flag man, for organizing the race.
Jonathan Gomez and an 18-year-old man died after a car slammed into a crowd watching the race. Several others suffered broken legs or scrapes.

Giants fans of a certain age, the age where hair turns gray or thins, joints ache and eyesight fails, might feel nauseous.
They’re the ones who heard that the current Giants (4-10) matched the team’s worst 14-game record since the franchise moved to San Francisco in 1958 — a mark previously logged by the 1980, ’83, ’85 and 2000 clubs — and wondered, “Are they really that bad?”
Long memories can be a curse for experienced Giants fans. The 1980, ’83 and ’85 squads ranged from mediocre (’83) to bad (’80) to horrible (’85, the lone 100-loss season in Giants history).
The mere suggestion that the defending World Series champions could in any way be as dreadful as these teams is enough to prompt nightmares of Buster Posey metamorphosing into Milt May or Madison Bumgarner transforming into Phil Nastu.
The outlier in that foursome, of course, is the 2000 club. That bunch recovered from its slow start to win the West division with a National League-best 97-65 record. That should serve as a lesson. Anybody dismissing this year’s Giants as failures with 148 games remaining does so at his or her own risk.
But fans who watched those other three teams perform (that’s using the term loosely) and emerged with their love for baseball intact must be praying that this year won’t become an early ’80s revival.
For the uninitiated, here’s a synopsis of the hopelessness those 4-10 teams of the ’80s evoked. You young ‘uns have no idea: These days, it’s fashionable to be a Giants fan. Back then, people actually laughed at you if you rooted for the Giants.
Eventual finish: 75-86, fifth place NL West
Most games over .500: 2
Most games under .500: 11
Saving grace: This was one of the greatest moments in Giants history, but it got overlooked in such a crappy year. On June 29, Willie McCovey, who announced his retirement a few days earlier, lashed a pinch-hit double to break a ninth-inning tie and give the Giants a walkoff victory over the Dodgers. The mighty knight had risen to slay the evil dragon one last time.
But it was usually like this: The Giants were five games out of first place on Aug. 14. Twelve losses in 13 games to start September dashed any wild postseason dreams. The Giants scored 32 runs in that stretch, which included three consecutive shutout defeats.
Eventual finish: 79-83, fifth place NL West
Most games over .500: 6
Most games under .500: 10
Saving grace: Atlee Hammaker, whose 2.25 ERA was the NL’s best, allowed as many as four earned runs only four times in 23 starts.
But it was usually like this: The Giants scored 13 runs on Opening Day, demonstrating their formidable offensive potential. Just one problem: San Diego scored 16.
Eventual finish: 62-100, siXth place NL West
Most games over .500: 1
Most games under .500: 39
Saving grace: A 4-3 walkoff win on Opening Day. The 161 games that followed were mostly futile. These guys finished 33 games out of first place!
But it was usually like this: Through June 4, the Giants owned an admirable 2.42 team ERA. Yet they were a day away from taking up permanent residency in last place, due to their .216 team batting average and their scoring rate — a shade less than three runs per game.
— Chris Haft
Friday, April 3
SAN FRANCISCO — Not surprisingly, Brian Sabean said Friday that two of his proudest seasons during his 18-year tenure as the Giants’ general manager occurred during the past five years, when the team won three World Series in that span.
Here’s the catch: The two years when San Francisco didn’t even reach the postseason, 2011 and 2013, were the ones Sabean singled out, primarily because of the club’s diligence.
“Against all odds in ’11, we almost made it in,” Sabean said. In fact, remarkably little went right for the Giants that year. Cody Ross and Brian Wilson began the season on the disabled list. Injuries also hounded Pat Burrell, Santiago Casilla and Barry Zito. Jonathan Sanchez failed to fulfill his promise. Aubrey Huff’s performance plunged precipitously. Free-agent shortstop Miguel Tejada was a bust. Pablo Sandoval broke his right hamate bone at the end of April, when the offense was slumping and he owned a gaudy slash line of .313/.374/.530. Freddy Sanchez sustained a career-ending shoulder injury. Acquired at the Trade Deadline to bolster the sagging offense, Carlos Beltran injured his right hand, robbing him of his power.
And, of course, Buster Posey experienced his unfortunate home-plate collision with Scott Cousins on May 25.
But the pitching was superb — Wilson, Matt Cain, Tim Lincecum and the previously unheralded Ryan Vogelsong made the All-Star team — which helped keep the Giants atop the National League West standings through Aug. 9. Arizona inevitably surpassed them.
“While that was frustrating,” Sabean said during Friday’s news conference at AT&T Park to announce contract extensions for him and manager Bruce Bochy, “I appreciated the effort.”
Sabean related that he felt much the same after 2013, which began with several Giants injured or on the disabled list. Most of them participated in the World Baseball Classic, which the Giants came to regard as a cursed event, albeit a well-intentioned one.
The offense went soft. Posey hit .294 but totaled only 15 homers. Marco Scutaro posted one of the quietest .297 batting averages in Major League history. Injuries limited Angel Pagan to 71 games. Lincecum (4.37 ERA) and Cain (4.00) weren’t the same, and Vogelsong (4-6, 5.73) was almost unrecognizable.
“That season could have, should have been a disaster,” Sabean said. “And Boch will tell you, our guys, to a man, didn’t give up. They stayed professional, they knew what it meant to the fan base to finish on a high note.” Mustering a 76-86 record, Sabean concluded, “catapulted us into ’14.”
After five seasons, with this year’s Spring Training tacked on, the Giants basically ran out of patience with Gary Brown.
The organization’s No. 1 selection (24th overall) in the 2010 amateur draft, Brown was designated for assignment Tuesday and claimed on waivers Friday by St. Louis. The Cardinals have room for a center fielder at Triple-A.
“Sorry to see him go,” Giants general manager Bobby Evans said, “but as I told him, ‘It’s an opportunity. Take advantage of it.’ ”
Brown simply didn’t hit enough to suit the Giants. He batted a rousing .336 at Class A Advanced San Jose in 2011. But he struck out 254 times at Triple-A in 2013-14 as he hit a combined .250.
“He has extremely strong defensive tools and still has the speed tools. It’s just that the bat has taken a little longer to get into a consistent rhythm after that first year in San Jose,” Evans said. “It’s in there. I hope it comes out in some fashion sooner rather than later.”
Moreover, the presence of outfielders Juan Perez and Mac Williamson and the emergence of Daniel Carbonell obscured Brown, 26. Evans said that Brown sank to the “bottom” of the 40-man roster, having been rendered expendable by the aforementioned trio. So when the Giants added Justin Maxwell to the 40-man roster, they subtracted Brown.
“We knew he had value,” Evans said. “We’re not surprised that he got claimed.”
Not to be overlooked in Friday’s cluster of promotions and contract extensions was Jeremy Shelley’s elevation to vice president and assistant general manager of professional scouting and player evaluation.
Shelley, entering his 22nd season with the Giants, has proven valuable behind the scenes regarding international operations, amateur scouting and the statistical analysis that critics believe the Giants ignore.

My admiration for Nick Peters had relatively little to do with his writing ability, which was considerable, or his vast experience as a baseball beat writer, which was virtually unmatched.
Rather, I respected Nick for the ardor with which he lived and his seemingly innate identification with me. He considered me a kindred spirit; I considered myself lucky to be in such good company.
I’ll always associate Nick, who died Monday at 75, with vigor. He seemed to do everything with enthusiasm or in a robust manner, whether he was bustling across the clubhouse to interview a player, devouring a meal or just being himself. He and his saintly wife, Lise, traveled constantly, and I don’t mean just to the various and sundry National and American League garden spots (though they did that, too). They spanned the globe, apparently intent on sampling everything this world has to offer.
Also, I’ll remain grateful to Nick for treating me so well. I believe he sensed that I was a lot like him. We shared the feeling that covering baseball was a privilege; we shared a special love for northern California in general and San Francisco in particular; and we shared an appreciation for Giants lore.
Nick took an interest in my family and my health. He genuinely cared about what was going on with me. And when I wrote an article he particularly liked, he quickly sent a complimentary e-mail. Nick was a like a big brother, friend, favorite uncle, drinking buddy and confidant all in one.
That’s a lot of people to replace. There’s no use trying to do so, especially when all those figures are rolled up into one person. People like that are truly rare. God Bless You, Nick, and thanks for everything.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Copies of the 2015 Spring Training media guide were distributed to reporters today. Receiving this little spiral-bound fount of information is one of the highlights of camp, since it’s a rich source of entertainment value.
The first thing many baseball people do with the guide is examine each team’s list of non-roster invitees. It’s always intriguing — or sometimes sad — to see which ex-Giants landed elsewhere for an opportunity to prolong their careers.
This was a big year for left-handers, besides Barry Zito. Six southpaws formerly belonging to the Giants earned non-roster invitations to other camps. The catch is that only three of them pitched in the Major Leagues for the Giants: Dan Runzler, Jose Mijares and David Huff. They’re with Arizona, Cincinnati and the Dodgers, respectively.
Three other lefties who spent time in the Giants’ Minor League system coaxed invitations. They were Ryan Verdugo (A’s), Joe Paterson (Royals) and former Marlins ace Dontrelle Willis (Brewers).
Three teams each have a pair of invitees who once called themselves Giants. In Angels camp are outfielder Roger Kieschnick and catcher Jackson Williams. The Washington Nationals have infielders Emmanuel Burriss and Dan Uggla, whose four-game stint at second base with the Giants last year immediately preceded Joe Panik’s rise to prominence. Besides Mijares, the Reds latched onto infielder Chris Dominguez.
Right-hander Brad Penny, who excelled for the Giants in September 2009 when they were on the fringes of the National League West race, is in camp with the White Sox. Two other guys who keep getting chances are outfielder Jeff Francoeur (Phillies) and infielder Eugenio Velez (Rays). Another ballplayer who still manages to get a look is infielder Ryan Rohlinger (Indians).
Catcher Johnny Monell, a native of the Bronx, will play in his backyard if he can break through with the Mets.
Two outfielders who have displayed big league ability but must constantly fight for jobs are Nate Schierholtz (Texas) and Cole Gillespie (Miami).

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants have recorded their first sellout of the season, except the patrons are medical professionals, not fans.
The ballclub’s medical and athletic training staffs will conduct the team’s inaugural Sports Medicine Conference, presented by Dignity Health. All sessions on Friday at the Palace Hotel and Saturday at AT&T Park, which address baseball-related maladies literally from head to toe, are full.
Dave Groeschner, the Giants’ head athletic trainer, said Thursday that he and other event organizers initially wanted to cap attendance at 200. That grew to 250, then 275. Groeschner, team orthopedist Dr. Ken Akizuki and their Giants colleagues finally ceased accepting applications when the number reached 300.
“People keep wanting to come, which is great,” Groeschner said.
Groeschner noted that he and the rest of the Giants’ medical and training staffs are eager to receive knowledge, not just impart it. He expects question-and-answer periods to be lively.
“There will be a lot of smart people there who maybe we can learn from, too,” Groeschner said. “It makes us better at what we do.”
Akizuki initially broached the possibility last year of staging this sort of conference, Groeschner said.
Naturally, shoulder and elbow injuries, as well as concussions, will be heavily discussed topics. Caring for the arms of youngsters who are beginning to pitch also should generate ample interest. That’s a subject Groeschner particularly welcomed, since it enables the seminar’s participants to “give back to the community.”

SAN FRANCISCO — Giants fans can give themselves a nice year-end present by activating their television sets. Or their TiVos.<p>
Comcast SportsNet Bay Area will ring out 2014 by replaying the Giants’ last five postseason victories that brought them their third World Series title in five years. The sequence begins Wednesday night at 7 with San Francisco’s 6-3 victory over St. Louis in the National League Championship Series clincher — otherwise known as the Travis Ishikawa Game.
That will be followed by the Giants’ quartet of World Series wins: Game 1 on Wednesday, Dec. 24, Game 4 on Friday, Dec. 26, Game 5 on Sunday, Dec. 28 and Game 7 (otherwise known as the Madison Bumgarner Game) on Monday, Dec. 29. All telecasts will begin at 7 p.m. except for the Game 5 review, which is set for 7:30 p.m.
These won’t strictly be FOX replays, either. Viewers will have the privilege of hearing the radio calls of Jon Miller, Duane Kuiper, Mike Krukow and Dave Flemming.
As a bonus, Comcast will re-broadcast the Giants’ World Series parade and City Hall celebration on Thursday, Dec. 25 at 10 a.m. and Thursday, Jan. 1 at 9 a.m.

Friday, Oct. 31
SAN FRANCISCO — When Willie McCovey talks, you listen. And it’s always worth it.
McCovey, 76, sounded youthfully enthusiastic while sharing his impressions of the once-and-again World Series champions. “It’s amazing, the resilience this team had,” said the Giants legend, who attended Friday’s ceremonies honoring the club at City Hall.
Though McCovey gained fame for hitting 521 home runs, he appreciated the Giants’ ability to win without the longball. They hit just seven homers all postseason.
“They ran other teams into mistakes. It was fun to watch,” McCovey said. Consider, for example, the first two games of the National League Championship Series, when the Giants capitalized on St. Louis’ slipshod defense.
McCovey expressed deep appreciation for right fielder Hunter Pence’s spectrum of contributions.
“You’ve got a lot of good players who lead by example like (Buster) Posey, but, boy, it’s great to have a guy like Pence who does it on the field and can inspire the team in the clubhouse, too,” McCovey said. “You always hear, ‘We wouldn’t have won without him,’ but I think (because of) his inspiration, I don’t think the team would have won without him. He has been a godsend since he came over here.”
Pence wasn’t the only Giant who impressed McCovey.
“We got contributions from guys we didn’t know existed a month ago,” McCovey said, citing second baseman Joe Panik. McCovey embellished Panik’s sudden emergence only slightly; the rookie became a Giants regular in August. “He was amazing!” McCovey said. “He was a new ‘blockbuster.’ ”
“Blockbuster,” you might remember, was the nickname given to San Francisco’s previous World Series-winning second baseman, Marco Scutaro, who was tantamount to a blockbuster acquisition due to his prodigious production after joining the Giants from Colorado in July 2012.
— Chris Haft
KANSAS CITY — One of the brightest surprises of the postseason so far was bumping into Jim Brower, the former Major League reliever who just completed his second season as the pitching coach for Kansas City’s Double-A Northwest Arkansas affiliate.
Giants fans will remember Brower for his inexhaustible performance in 2004, when he led the Majors with 89 appearances. The Giants released him the following June, as he lasted only a fraction longer than two years with five different clubs after his workhorse season.
I covered Brower during his 2001-02 stint with the Reds, as well as his aborted ’05 season with the Giants. He was always a perfect gentleman, regardless of circumstances. It was great to learn that he’s still contributing to the game.
Two other ex-Giants are pitching coaches in the Royals’ Minor League system: Larry Carter with Triple-A Omaha and Mark Davis with rookie-advanced Idaho Falls.

Friday, Sept. 26
SAN FRANCISCO — Dave Dravecky has long been an inspirational figure. Now his gift for motivation is taking on a fresh dimension.
Dravecky, the ex-Giant who’s renowned for overcoming cancer to return to pitching in 1989, has begun urging people to undergo cholesterol screenings as part of National Cholesterol Education Month.
Saturday, Dravecky will be at AT&T Park as part of an event sponsored by AstraZeneca in which free cholesterol screenings will be conducted from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Lefty O’ Doul Plaza.
Dravecky, whose personal saga touched so many hearts, again offers a tale everybody can relate to as he emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
Dravecky recalled playing with one of his grandsons for a couple of hours about three years ago. After playtime ended, Dravecky collapsed on the nearest couch, thoroughly exhausted.
“I felt like I had just been in a major prize fight,” Dravecky said. “And here’s why: At that point in time I was pushing 280 pounds. I was tired of feeling miserable. I was not eating right. I was not exercising. I knew that my cholesterol was high.”
After that experience, Dravecky consulted his physician and took the necessary steps toward changing his lifestyle and improving his cholesterol levels. “Today, I can tell you my life is so much better because of making those choices, and I’m in a much better place healthwise to be the grandpa I want to be,” he said.
Dravecky also wants to raise awareness regarding the link between high cholesterol and heart disease. His wife, Jan, lost both of her parents to heart attacks, which further sharpened the family’s attention to maintaining health.
Cholesterol screening, Dravecky said, is “a really easy thing to do and a very important thing to do in relationship to heart disease. Obviously there are things that can be done to prevent that.”

Friday, Sept. 19
SAN DIEGO — Though the Giants have no ironclad guarantee that first baseman Brandon Belt and center fielder Angel Pagan were fit to play, both rejoined the lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the San Diego Padres.
Belt’s pinch-hitting stint Wednesday represented his first activity for the Giants since Aug. 6, which followed his recovery from a concussion. Pagan missed the three-game Arizona series with back stiffness. Their last joint appearance in the lineup was June 14.
“I wish both of them would have had a week or two of at-bats,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said before Friday’s game.
But the urgency of the Giants’ pursuit of a postseason spot left Bochy little choice but to field his best potential lineup, even if it wasn’t the healthiest contingent he could have used.
Belt passed multiple “tests,” Bochy said. Staying in the Phoenix area while the rest of the team left for San Diego following Wednesday’s series finale against the Diamondbacks, Belt worked out at the Giants’ instructional league camp at their Scottsdale training headquarters. Belt estimated that he took 100 swings in extra and regular batting practice, besides working on his defense.
“It was productive,” Belt said of his extra work. He noticed that certain aspects of his hitting needed further sharpening. “But I knew that was going to happen,” he said.
Bochy’s reasoning for reinstalling Pagan in the leadoff spot was simple. The switch-hitter declared after Wednesday’s game that he would play Friday “no matter what,” Bochy said.
First baseman-left fielder Michael Morse also caught the health bug, telling Bochy that he felt ready for action. Bochy acknowledged that Morse was available to play. But Bochy also indicated that he wanted to wait at least another day before deciding how or whether to use Morse, who missed San Francisco’s previous 15 games with a strained left oblique.
Bochy hinted that even if Morse is playable, Gregor Blanco might remain in left field. “With the job he’s done defensively and with the bat, he’s been a catalyst and has really played some great ball on both sides,” Bochy said of Blanco, who actually entered Friday batting .182 (4-for-22) in his previous seven games.

Cathy McAleer will make her professional debut at the Shorts Sports & Social Club, in Belfast on Saturday night.
The Belfast fighter has been a successful kick boxer before now trying her hand at boxing.
And McAleer is looking forward to getting down to business.
“I am excited and nervous at the same time. It comes in bouts of – ‘I can’t wait it’s going to be unreal atmosphere’ to then seeing how big the support is and thinking ‘it’s really happening, I’d hate to let anyone down’.”
“Overall I can’t wait and I will give it 100% and more for a dream to actually coming true for me” she added.
And the bill will see a return for Luke Wilton as he takes on Georgi Georgiev.
Wilton - a former challenger for the British title - will be looking to get himself up the rankings as quickly as he can.
And Belfast cruiserweight Tommy McCarthy also returns to action after a year out of action. McCarthy has ability and he will be guided now by new manager Mark Dunlop. David Jamieson, Tony Nellins, Conor Cook and Kelvin McDonald will also be in action.

Pay close attention to the water fountains around campus in the upcoming months; some of them will be getting upgrades. Kara Nipper, a Wilson student and employee on the plumbing crew, applied for and received a $500 grant from the Environmental Learning Center. Plumbing Crew has used this seed grant to purchase water filters that will modify several existing fountains around the school. The hope is that this improvement will encourage students and faculty to be more willing to carry reusable beverage vessels rather than disposable plastic and paper ones.
The first filter will be installed in the FMTS building, near the plumbing shop. After that, filters will be potentially placed in Gladfelter, Morse, Ogg, and on the third floor of Jensen. The student body and faculty will be able to enjoy clean, good-tasting water without relying on the impractical, expensive, and far less sustainable Mountain Valley Spring Water brand water coolers that lurk in some of the administration buildings. Mountain Valley may be a local Asheville company, but all that water which is siphoned from a spring in the Nantahala Forest and delivered by truck to Warren Wilson, is water that could be coming from our (soon to be) freshly filtered fountains.
The water filters are on order, but have not yet arrived. According to Kara Nipper and the plumbing crew, the improved water stations should be functioning on campus some time after spring break.
Apart from the direct environmental benefits from cutting down on the use of BPA laced plastic bottles, the installation of the filters will help bolster Warren Wilson’s image as being a school that cares about the condition of our planet.

Our fourth wireframe test was of our Help pages. Forty-nine percent of beta testers completed the task. You can see the larger version of each wireframe by clicking on the image.
For the new website, we wanted a much more robust Help section that would help visitors easily find frequently asked questions and answers. This includes bringing popular questions to the forefront and providing multiple ways to browse FAQ entries, for example through broad topics and specific tags that will be applied to each FAQ entry.
We presented five scenarios to the testers:
- You've gone to the Help section of the website for aid with a problem. You don't see a topic or tag for the question you have. Where would you search for help using terms that describe your problem?
- You just received your first e-reader as a gift. Where would you go to browse FAQs about e-books available at the library?
- You're receiving an error message when you try to request a book. You looked but haven't found an Help entry pertaining to your error message. Where would you go to fill out a form which allows you to report the problem you are having?
- You are reading the Help entry: "What is the difference between home delivery, reserves, and holds?" Where would you find related questions?
- Where would you indicate whether the FAQ below was helpful or not?
We also asked the testers three questions once they completed the wireframe test:
- What features are missing? Please indicate which wireframe you are referring to (A, B, and/or C) in your response. They are listed above for your reference.
- What would you change? Please indicate which wireframe you are referring to (A, B, and/or C) in your response. They are listed above for your reference.
- Please share any additional feedback you have on any of the wireframes.
Testers were provided the wireframe of the Help default page for the first two scenarios.
The focus of the first scenario was the location of the search bar in the Help section. Eighty-one percent of testers chose options where they could directly (61%) or indirectly (20%) search for help using terms to describe their problem. The 61% who indicated a location in the wireframe that was more directly successful chose the Help section search bar area. The 20% who indicated a location in the wireframe that was indirectly successful chose the website's main search bar. Like the Help section search, the website search will also return results from FAQ entries. Seven percent of testers chose the "Submit a help request" link while 4% chose Help in the top navigation.
Our intention with the second scenario of the Help default was to test the ease with which testers could locate options for browsing FAQ entries. The example used in the scenario was to browse FAQs about e-books available at the library. Ninety-one percent of testers made selections that would directly or indirectly lead them to FAQ entries about e-books. The majority, 88%, made selections that were directly successful, with 27% choosing the "e-book" tag in "Browse by tag" and 61% choosing "E-books" in "Browse by topic." The selection made by the remaining 3% we consider indirectly successful as they chose Books & Magazines from the top navigation and the E-book page in this section will contain e-book FAQ entries, in context.
For the third scenario, testers were provided the Help search results wireframe. The purpose of this scenario was twofold: to show the search results wireframe for feedback and to test finding the Submit a help request link. This scenario met with the second greatest success of all the scenarios with 92% of testers making a selection that was directly successful. There were a few comments in the open feedback regarding the location of the search filters with a couple testers suggesting they be moved to the right side of the page, to match where "Browse by tag" was on the Help default. We've purposefully placed the topic and tag filters on the left of the search results as this is typically where you find filter options when conducting searches. It's also a visual cue that the function on the left (filtering) is different from the function on the right (browsing by tag) on the Help default page.
Testers were provided the wireframe for a page in Help that contains a complete FAQ entry.
In the fourth scenario we wanted to test the ability to find questions related to the FAQ entry presented in the page. Eighty-six percent of testers made selections that would directly lead them to questions related to the FAQ entry on the page. Most testers (73%) click in the "Related questions" area, while 13% clicked either a topic or tag listed in the FAQ entry. Three percent clicked Help in the top navigation and 2% clicked on the question title of the FAQ entry.
In the final scenario, we tested locating the "Was it helpful?" comment box in the FAQ entry page. This scenario had the greatest percentage of direct success with over 96% of testers clicking somewhere in the "Was this helpful?" comment box.
Feedback was very positive. Forty-nine percent of testers responded to at least one of the questions listed after the wireframe test was completed. The vast majority of comments conveyed that nothing was missing and that they wouldn't change anything. There were a handful of comments suggesting various pieces of content be moved around on the pages, but there wasn't enough consensus (popular opinion) in these suggestions to warrant changing the layout of the Help wireframes.

Virtuoso flutist Elizabeth McNutt discovered her passion for new and adventurous music almost as soon as she began playing. She has dedicated herself to this path, commissioning and premiering countless new works and becoming an expert interpreter of the masterpieces of the last century. Besides her ongoing collaborations with young and upcoming composers, “commanding flutist Elizabeth McNutt” (LA Times) has worked with such recognized figures as Pierre Boulez, Brian Ferneyhough, Harvey Sollberger, Cort Lippe, Philippe Manoury, Russell Pinkston, Roger Reynolds, Joji Yuasa, and Joan Tower. Particularly drawn to the new sound worlds of electronic music, she collaborates intensively with composers and technologists to create groundbreaking works for flute and live interactive computer systems. Her solo CD pipe wrench: flute + computer, on the Electronic Music Foundation Media label, was recently described as “astounding” (Flute Talk), “high octane” (Musicworks), and “a delightful listen” (SEAMUS Newsletter). Her other recordings are on the CRI and SEAMUS labels.
McNutt has performed across the USA, including concerts in Baltimore, Birmingham, Chicago, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. Her international appearances include England, Germany, Greece, Korea, Singapore, and Switzerland. Her "cyber-flute" repertoire has been featured at the Los Angeles Philharmonic Green Umbrella Series, Hallswalls Contemporary Art Center, Steinberg Gallery of Art, the Berkeley Symphony, and International Computer Music Conferences. She was the featured artist in the 2002 Electronic Music Midwest Festival (the first time they have featured a performer instead of a composer), and the 2003 Third Practice Festival. She has also been a soloist at such festivals as Darmstadt, Scotia, Norfolk, and Arcosanti. McNutt is a frequent lecturer on topics including contemporary performance practice, flute technique, performing with technology, and collaboration. She has lectured at Peabody Conservatory, Louisiana State University, Cincinnati Conservatory, and Minnesota State University, among others. American Composers’ Forum, Colorado Flute Association, Mid-South Flute Society, and New Jersey Composers’ Guild have also sponsored her presentations. Her writing has appeared in Organised Sound (Cambridge Press), the National Flute Association’s Flutist Quarterly, Music Theory Online, the Boulder Daily Camera, and the Colorado Flute Association Newsletter.
McNutt has won awards and fellowships from the Boulder County Arts Alliance Neodata Endowment, National Foundation for the Advancement of the Arts, Arts International, the Rocky Mountain Women’s Institute, and the American Composers Forum. Formerly an instructor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, she recently joined the faculty of the University of North Texas. She also co-directs the new music organization Atomic Clock Music Events. Her degrees are from UC San Diego (DMA, 2000; MA, 1994) and the St. Louis Conservatory (BM, 1990); her teachers have included Harvey Sollberger, John Fonville, and Jacob Berg (flute), and Miller Puckette (computer music).

The daughter of a billionaire property tycoon who doubled a marriage bounty on her head has published an open letter asking her father to accept her for who she is.
Shipping magnate and property developer Cecil Chao Sze-tsung made global headlines in September 2012 when he offered a reward to the man who could persuade his daughter Gigi to marry him, despite the fact she had already entered into a civil partnership with her female partner of almost nine years, Sean Eav.
The 77-year-old then reportedly doubled the money on offer to HK $1billion (£80m) after his first offer attracted 20,000 unsuccessful responses.
In an interview with a Malaysian magazine, he also insisted it is "not too late" to change his daughter's mind on her sexuality, and was quoted as saying: “I don’t want to interfere with my daughter’s private life. I only hope for her to have a good marriage and children as well as inherit my business.”
Hong Kong billionaire Cecil Chao 'doubles marriage bounty to £80m' for man who marries his lesbian daughter
In a letter to her father published on Wednesday by two Hong Kong newspapers, Ms Chao said she said understood it may be “difficult for you to understand, let alone accept” how she could be romantically attracted to a woman.
In regards to her partner, Ms Chao, 34, added that “it would mean the world to me if you could just not be so terrified of her, and treat her like a normal, dignified human being.”
She writes: "I do love my partner Sean, who does a good job of looking after me, ensuring I am fed, bathed and warm enough every day, and generally cheering me up to be a happy, jolly girl. She is a large part of my life, and I am a better person because of her.
"I’m sorry to mislead you to think I was only in a lesbian relationship because there was a shortage of good, suitable men in Hong Kong.
"There are plenty of good men, they are just not for me."
In a separate interview with The Times, she said: "Since Dad thinks it's so easy for me to switch from gay to straight, I should just leave it for him to demonstrate. I think I'll marry a man when he marries a man," she said.
The South China Morning Post, one of the papers that published the letter, reported last week that Ms Chao has received "strange" phone calls from would-be suitors since her father made his comments, and that most open by saying, "I want to be a billionaire!"
In an interview with the newspaper last year, Ms Chao said it was difficult dealing with the sudden publicity after Mr Chao "threw her out of the closet", because "Hong Kong is horrible at accepting and welcoming diversity."
Ms Chao is an executive director of luxury property development company Cheuk Nang, which has projects in Hong Kong, China, Macau and Malaysia. Ms Chao is now considered as a LGBT activist and has become closely involved in Big Love Alliance, a gay rights group that lobbies the government to pass anti-discrimination legislation.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A plane carrying three U.S. prisoners released by North Korea landed near Washington D.C. on Thursday to be met by President Donald Trump, clearing a major obstacle to a planned summit between him and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The prisoners, freed after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo traveled to the North Korean capital, landed at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington, where a giant U.S. flag was suspended between ladders of two fire trucks on the edge of the taxiway.
The flight, which arrived at around 2:42 a.m. (0642 GMT), was also to be met by Vice President Mike Pence, White House national security adviser John Bolton and Trump’s wife, Melania.
A White House spokeswoman said the three men would be taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in nearby Maryland for further medical evaluation.
They are Korean-American missionary Kim Dong-chul, detained in 2015; Kim Sang-duk, also known as Tony Kim, who spent a month teaching at the foreign-funded Pyongyang University of Science and Technology (PUST) before he was arrested in 2017; and Kim Hak-song, who also taught at PUST and was detained last year.
“We would like to express our deep appreciation to the United States government, President Trump, Secretary Pompeo, and the people of the United States for bringing us home,” the three said in a statement released by the State Department as their plane stopped over in Alaska.
“We thank God, and all our families and friends who prayed for us and for our return. God Bless America, the greatest nation in the world.”
North Korean state media said they were arrested either for subversion or “hostile acts” against the government.
Until now, the only American released by North Korea during Trump’s presidency was Otto Warmbier, a 22-year-old university student who returned to the United States in a coma last summer after 17 months of captivity and died days later.
Warmbier’s death escalated U.S.-North Korea tensions, already running high at the time over Pyongyang’s stepped-up missile tests.
Americans detained in North Korea: tmsnrt.rs/2r5xYpB
The release of the last U.S. detainees in North Korea appeared to signal an effort by Kim to improve the tone for the summit and followed his recent pledge to suspend missile tests and shut a nuclear bomb test site.
A U.S. official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said Singapore has emerged as the likeliest location for the planned summit after Trump ruled out holding it at the heavily fortified demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.
Trump, who previously said Singapore was under consideration, said agreement had been reached on a date and venue and details would be announced within three days.
The release of the prisoners also gave Trump a chance to tout a diplomatic achievement soon after his decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear deal drew heavy criticism from European allies and others.

The Lower Klamath and Tule Lake National Wildlife Refuges, located in the upper Klamath Basin of Oregon and California, encompass approximately 46,700 and 39,100 acres, respectively. Demand for water in the semiarid upper Klamath Basin has increased in recent years, resulting in the need to better quantify water availability and use in the refuges. This report presents an evaluation of water-use estimates for both refuges derived on the basis of two approaches. One approach used evaporation and evapotranspiration estimates and the other used measured inflow and outflow data. The quality of the inflow and outflow data also was assessed.
Annual water use in the refuges, using evapotranspiration estimates, was computed with the use of different rates for each of four land-use categories. Annual water-use rates for grain fields, seasonal wetlands, permanently flooded wetlands with emergent vegetation, and open-water bodies were 2.5, 2.9, 2.63, and 4.07 feet per year, respectively. Total water use was estimated as the sum of the products of each rate and the number of acres in its associated land-use category. Mean annual (2003-2005) water use for the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake refuges was approximately 124,000 and 95,900 acre-feet, respectively. To estimate water deliveries needed for each refuge, first, annual precipitation for 2003-2005 was subtracted from the annual water use for those years. Then, an adjusted total was obtained by adding 20 percent to the difference to account for salinity flushing. Resulting estimated mean annual adjusted needed water deliveries in 2003-2005 for the Lower Klamath and Tule Lake refuges were 107,000 and 82,800 acre-feet, respectively.
Mean annual net inflow to the refuges for 2003-2005 was computed by subtracting estimated and measured surface-water outflows from inflows. Mean annual net inflow during the 3-year period for the Lower Klamath refuge, calculated for a subsection of the refuge, was approximately 73,700 acre-feet. The adjusted needed water delivery for this section of the refuge, calculated from evapotranspiration estimates, was approximately 77,600 acre-feet. For the Tule Lake refuge, mean annual net inflow during the 3-year period was approximately 76,100 acre-feet, which is comparable to the estimated annual needed water delivery for the refuge of 82,800 acre-feet.
For 1962-2005, mean annual net inflow to the Lower Klamath refuge was approximately 49,800 acre-feet, about 23,900 acre-feet less than for 2003-2005. Although mean April-September net inflows for 1962-2005 and 2003-2005 have remained fairly constant, annual net inflow has increased for October-March, which accounts for the difference. Consistently higher autumn and winter flow deliveries since the mid-1980s reflect a significant change in refuge management. More sections of the refuge are currently managed as seasonal wetlands than were in the 1960s and 1970s.
Flow records for the Ady Canal at State Line Road, Klamath Straits Drain at State Line Road, and D Pumping Plant were evaluated for their data quality. On the basis of USGS flow-record criteria, all three flow records were rated as 'poor.' By definition, 95 percent of the daily flows in a record having this rating could be in error by more than 15 percent.

I would really be reluctant to destroy this car with late model engine and drive line. While I knew what a Cord looks like, wasn't aware of the different models so did a search. This is one link I found:
"Only 1174 of these 1936 Cord model 810 Westchester Sedans were manufactured. Lauded at the time as the most impressive American design, it was late getting to production and many orders were cancelled. Despite the trouble Cord had getting the cars delivered, it is still an impressive and imposing creation. Innovative in design, the 810 presented one of the first cars without running boards, with an "alligator" hood, front wheel drive, and hide-away headlights. This Westchester was restored in the US in the early 70's and is in good running condition. It has been in a Museum for many years so will need to be refurbished, though the paint, bright work, and interior are all in very good condition and show extremely well. There is no rust on the car. The original 288ci V-8 is sound. Belts and hoses may need replacing, the brakes need service, and new weather stripping will need to be installed. This Cord is a remarkable car for any age. Car is available for inspection where located in Germany. Documentation is available. For more information please call Tom at 803-370-6354 or follow the link to email - themotorclub21.com/Contact.html" themotorclub21.com
The asking price was $69,500, selling price, probably still North of $60,000.
Now, if you are really interested in doing this, don't mind the $$$ hit to your retirement options, we'll give you lots of advice.
As far as a cross mounted engine/front wheel drive - why? There are many others, but IMO, that little 3.6 you suggest, probably not going to give you the performance you would like, especially if you stay with tall tires. Then any front wheel drive could give you major pain for adaptation to that chassis as I'm guessing some of the suspension geometry will be altered to fit the chassis/wheel well requirement

At Logentries, we feel strongly about the power of log data and the unparalleled role that logs can play in effective end-to-end system monitoring. Yet we feel it also important to recognize how other monitoring approaches can further supplement a log monitoring solution to provide even greater, actionable insight into system performance. One such approach is Application Performance Management (APM) and today we’re excited to announce our first APM Community Pack.
While log data provides a more comprehensive overview of system health than traditional Application Performance Management, an APM tool can offer insights into an issue’s root cause at the code level. Logentries’ new APM Community Pack leverages a new extension recently added to our Python library that gives developers the ability to calculate important metrics related to any function they choose to measure.
Using the Logentries’ new APM Community helps to easily analyze the effect of function execution on overall system performance.
Using the new Pack, developers can do things like identify low performing functions, reveal memory leaks and monitor remaining system resources.
With this new level of insight, developers can spend less time searching for answers and more time writing good, clean code.
The recent APM updates to our Python library also enable users to extend the functionality of the library. For example, a developer could now decide to add network or disk statistics to their logs and measure network load generation by function. Developers could also create a counter to measure the number of method calls over time.
The Logentries Python APM Community Pack is available for free and takes only seconds to install. Visit community.logentries.com/packs/python to get started today.

RICHMOND – The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has been called in to investigate the manner in which a Richmond dentist has been disposing of solid and chemical wastes after a complaint was filed with the McHenry County Health Department.
Dr. David Domenella said he doesn't think he's done anything wrong and believes his practices – alleged to include improper storage of X-ray developing fluid and improper medical waste disposal – are not harmful.
"This is a typical example of bureaucracy going way over the top, impractically and wastefully," Domenella said. "They're wasting taxpayer money going after someone like me who is environmentally conscious and upstanding."
After investigating a complaint filed Feb. 10 against Domenella, the McHenry County heath officials made referrals this week to five other agencies to further assess the situation, health department spokeswoman Debra Quackenbush said.
"This will remain an ongoing investigation with the health department and five other agencies," she said.
The other agencies now involved are the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, the Illinois Department of Professional Regulation, the village of Richmond, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's Department of Nuclear Safety.
At least one employee told county health officials that Domenella has been improperly disposing of chemicals used to process X-ray film, as well as teeth and bloody tissues, for many years.
Edie Sehr, who has worked for Domenella for 11 years, recently was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. She believes that it was caused by exposure to the chemicals that Domenella allegedly keeps in a basement at his office building, 9716 Route 12, Richmond.
Sehr said that the chemicals aren't all that she's seen Domenella dispose of improperly.
"He puts his dirty bibs and extracted teeth and bloody items in the trash," Sehr said. She also added that Domenella takes waste containers from his office to his father's Harvard area farm.
State regulations govern the disposal of medical waste, but Domenella said he does not see a problem with tossing some bloodied items in the regular trash.
"I have the volume of blood that isn't anymore than would be in a sanitary napkin in someone's garbage," he said. "That was my common sense of my actions."
Quackenbush said the complaint against Domenella received Thursday, Feb. 10, related to the operations of Domenella's business, as well as the working conditions. She declined to reveal specific findings. The Northwest Herald has filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the department in an attempt to gather further details.
"We go in first, do the assessment and now have asked five different agencies to assist with this," Quackenbush said. "We may assist in getting proper disposal resources at the local level after the EPA does their investigation."
"I have no idea when this will be resolved."
Domenella said that he has been storing the X-ray developer for years, delivering more chemicals to his father's Harvard farm every month or so.
"I've been accumulating that material because it contains silver," Domenella said. "Due to the county requesting that I get rid of it, I have contacted a recycler who will pay me to dispose of it."
He added that he believes the investigation is baseless.
"Some of these charges are beyond the realm of common sense," Domenella said. "The county is saying it's wrong to contain these chemicals, which I planned to recycle on my property. It's not getting into the groundwater, it's completely sheltered and it's been there [in the barn] for 25 years."

Users of IBM Cloud on Tuesday afternoon reported an outage that rendered the websites of many unresponsive.
The company's own status page was also returning an internal server error due to it being hosted on the IBM Cloud, with the page last checked by ZDNet at 4:20pm PT Tuesday.
"Sorry, we've encountered an error on our end, and our developers are working on clearing this up. Please try reloading the page or following these links back," the page reads.
IBM is yet to release a statement, and its Twitter account is silent, but DownDetector shows users have been reporting issues since around 2:30pm PT.
IBM Aspera, a unit of Big Blue that sits under its hybrid cloud business unit, at 3:06pm PT said it was alerted to a service disruption that affected all regions.
"We have been alerted to a service disruption affecting: IBM AoC Managed Storage. Our engineers are currently investigating the incident and will provide updates when more information is available," it wrote.
At 4:06pm PT, IBM Aspera said it was continuing to investigate the issue.
According to Aspera, AoC Managed Storage is suffering a "major outage" in Amsterdam, Dallas, Frankfurt, Melbourne, and Toronto.
IBM Cloud Transfer Clusters in Amsterdam, Chennai, Dallas, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, Melbourne, Mexico, Milan, Montreal, Oslo, San Jose, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto, Washington DC, Paris, and Singapore are also listed as suffering major outages.
IBM Aspera API services are reported as operational.
Meanwhile, customers of IBM Cloud said they have been told of the outage.
"Our database provider, IBM Cloud, told us the following privately 'This is what appears to be a networking issue affecting a large portion of IBM Cloud services'," marketing automation software maker Autopilot wrote at 4:20pm PT.
"The issue has been identified and a fix is being implemented."
IBM Cloud eventually took to Twitter to tell users it was aware of reported outages and that it was investigating the matter.
"IBM Cloud services are being restored following a reported outage earlier today. We are focused on restoring full services as soon as possible," it posted at 6:30pm PT.
ZDNet has reached out to IBM for comment.
Updated 11:52am AEST Wednesday June 10, 2020: Added IBM Cloud tweet.
MORE FROM BIG BLUE
Reports indicate Big Blue could be letting go thousands of staff, globally.
Big Blue fears the technology could be used to promote racial discrimination.
Zero-days impact the IBM Data Risk Manager (IDRM), one of IBM's enterprise security tools.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna didn't shock anyone with the company's strategy, but brought more focus to Big Blue's strategic plan.

Private Firms may be Allowed to Extend Loans to Directors
Private companies will get to extend loans to their directors if a new proposal of the Corporate Affairs Ministry gets notified.
This proposal forms part of several realistic measures taken by the Ministry to improve the working environment for private companies.
The move is significant as it would reverse a position in the new company law that barred private companies from extending loans to directors or any other person in whom the director is interested.
The breather will, however, not be available to all such companies.
Only those private companies with no or low public interest will benefit from the proposed move.
All private companies with borrowings from banks over a specified limit will not be eligible to extend loans to their directors.
“The intention is not to provide this dispensation to private companies where significant exposure to banks/public funding exists,” Aseem Chawla, Partner, MPC Legal, told Business Line.
However, Chawla suggested that all private companies, irrespective of their borrowings or shareholdings, should be allowed to extend loans to directors.
Yogesh Sharma, Partner, Grant Thornton India LLP, said the new measures are welcome as they would address the practical difficulties faced by many small and medium-sized private companies in complying with certain requirements.
It is worth citing that none of the exemptions and relaxations proposed by MCA would hamper the interest of the investors or public at large as they cover only private companies with no or low public interest, he said.

No Tax On Flea, Tick and Heartworm Medications for this season
What is heartworm?
Heartworm is a serious and fatal condition for dogs and cats even indoor cats caused by parasitic worms that live in the heart, and blood vessels that supply blood to the lungs of infected animals. Pets can contract heartworm disease from mosquitoes that are infected with heartworm parasites. In Ontario, heartworm season starts in late March/April and ends in November/early December. During the last 3 months of heartworm season (September to November) flea infestation is on the rise. The new heartworm medication also covers ticks that carry Lyme disease as well. Your dog needs an annual heartworm/tick test prior to starting heartworm preventive medication to make sure he or she is negative for heartworm. Puppies under 6 months of age are considered negative for heartworm and do not need the test.

21144 Hillside Dr. TOPANGA CA 90290 $2,850,000 4bed 4 bath 2,827 Sqft
No house should ever be on the hill it should belong to the hill. Frank Lloyd Wright dictum is well embodied by this property whose organic feel and yet modern design sits beautifully in the canyon in harmony with nature and its surroundings. The house transcends the idea of California living by blending indoor/outdoor through massive windows and use of wood inside and outside.
Beautifully restored and redesigned to bring the beauty of the canyon inside with views from every room. The thoughtful use of natural woods such as Kayu on the exterior of the home along with Radiata Pine on the main living level creates a special connection to the outdoors.

Bangladesh coach Chandika Hathurusingha said that at tea time during on third day of the Mirpur Test there was apprehension that another winning position was slipping from their grasp after England had moved to 100 without loss chasing 273.
Hathurusingha, who has been influential in Bangladesh's rise in the last two years, praised the role of the players who stood up to his challenge to turn the situation around, particularly the likes of Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan and Mehedi Hasan. Tamim, Mushfiqur Rahim's deputy, took an active role in setting fields while Shakib and Mehedi shared the ten wickets that fell in the third session, handing Bangladesh their maiden Test win over England.
"The best thing I can tell you is that the big players stood up," Hathurusingha told ESPNcricinfo. "I was disappointed and upset that we are nearly wasting another opportunity which we had in our hands. I had a chat with the boys. I challenged them to stand up. I told them that this opportunity will never come again. I am glad that a few people stood up and decided to do something different."
Bangladesh had previous frozen when near to a winning position on a number of occasions during England's tour this year - particularly the first one-day international and at key moments of the opening Test - but Hathurusingha said that the team will become more successful if they keep getting out of difficult situations in matches.
"This group is still learning. They have a long way to go. Otherwise we would have had more success. I hope that after this win, they will have better memories if they get into such winning positions in the future, to do on their own. They can find the ways on their own in the middle. There's a lot of idea sharing and making sure we create the environment that they get challenged."
Hathurusingha, who has now overseen four Test wins for Bangladesh, said that he is more interested in getting the job done rather than pleasing those around him. He said that the players and the BCB were supportive of him.
"I got lot of support from the players, who are open for ideas, and the board members which is all you want. You don't need everyone to like you. In that way, you're pleasing people. The more people criticise you, it means you are challenging what is happening. Results on top of that, give you a positive sign."

- I love being married, but it can be challenging. If you try to maintain an attitude of fairness and an ability to admit when you’re wrong, you can get through most things.
- We decided before marriage that divorce was NOT an option. Our problems would be worked out no matter what. Of course, it helped that we were at least 10 hours from the nearest in-law, so running home to Mama wasn’t an option.
- Divorce is too easy these days. In a marriage, you have to keep working at it and not just focus on the bad qualities. You’ve got to remember the good qualities of your partner, why you loved them when you first married them.
- Keep an open mind, openly communicate, and don’t let things get out of hand. Handle small slights and problems immediately. It’s been positive in our marriage and has helped us to survive.
- My wife and I don’t make very many decisions by ourselves, especially when it concerns family needs. We are very good about bouncing ideas off each other. We don’t argue. We just state our opinion to each other and go on loving.
- We both willingly give up our wants and our needs for the other’s benefit. We have always bolstered each other and tried to keep our criticisms gentle, never bringing each other down intentionally. We are always willing to forgive and forget quickly, and go forward.
- Communication is the most important thing — without it on both sides, there is no marriage. The point is not trying to change the other to fit our desires; it’s taking them as they are.

Miscellaneous Tax Credits
Definition of 'Miscellaneous Tax Credits'
A group of less common tax credits that apply to taxpayers in various situations. As with all other tax credits, miscellaneous tax credits are designed to reward and promote certain types of economic activities, such as the purchase of hybrid automobiles or to reward those who have taken appropriate measures to make their homes more energy-efficient.
Investopedia explains 'Miscellaneous Tax Credits'
There are several miscellaneous tax credits available, such as the mortgage interest credit, the prior-year alternative minimum tax credit, the foreign tax credit, and the hybrid and electric vehicle credit.
Most miscellaneous credits are non-refundable, except for the credit for excess Social Security or railroad retirement withholdings.

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has made it clear that this is a now-or-never year for Andy Reid and his Philadelphia Eagles, and Reid seems to understand that. Yet he knows how crucial Michael Vick is to the team’s success, and Reid notes that Vick’s ability to stay healthy has a lot to do with dumb luck.
Andy Reid joined Angelo Cataldi on WIP in Philadelphia to discuss the support he received from fans after the death of his son at training camp, the pressure being applied by owner Jeff Lurie and Michael Vick’s ability to stay healthy.
On the city’s support when he lost his son this summer:
“The outpouring was incredible. It touched our hearts as a family and it was unbelievable.”
On owner Jeffrey Lurie saying he’d have to do better than 8-8 to save his job:
“I’m right with him. We’re shooting for better than 8-8 and s0 that’s our goal. Our goal is to win championships. That’s what we’re striving for and that’s why we work hard and spend the time doing it. So I’m on board. I understand. I understand the business, I’ve got a great relationship with Jeff Lurie, and so I don’t worry about that. I worry about the things that we can control and that’s getting better as a football team every day and trying to get ourselves better.”
On if he’s confident Michael Vick can stay healthy:
“I don’t really worry about that. I want him to just go play and be himself. And there’s a time and a place where he knows he’s gotta get down or out of bounds, but other than that you go play. That’s what’s made you great — you play a certain way and you go for it. And this game, I think if you asked any player they’re going to tell you they gotta catch a couple breaks here and there with the injury bug. And so hopefully this is his year where he does that.”

Welcome to Willoughby Close… a charming cluster of cozy cottages, each with a story to tell and a happy ending to deliver…
Alice James has been a drifter her whole life, working her way through several foster homes before ending up in Wychwood-on-Lea, feeling anchorless and invisible. When a chance encounter leads to Alice accepting a position as a caretaker and companion to Lady Stokeley, she starts to feel as if she might finally be able to put down some roots and live the way other people do.
Then, Lady Stokeley’s nephew, city banker Henry Trent, storms into Willoughby Manor, seeming to find fault with everything, including Alice. As the next in line to the manor and title, he threatens to upturn everything she’s started to build. But Henry is hiding his own secret fears and weaknesses, as well as a long-running feud with his aunt. A surprising and inconvenient attraction that simmers between them leaves Alice feeling more confused than ever, and Henry torn between duty and desire, fear and love.
When circumstances become even more difficult, both Alice and Henry must decide who they really are, and what they are willing to fight for. Could Alice possibly the next Lady of Willoughby Manor?
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT WILLOUGHBY CLOSE:
‘When you find a book that gives you a feel good snuggly I want to know what happens next story feeling…One you don’t want to put down, and one you think you’d love to be a fly on the wall in, you know it’s a winner. This is one of those books.’
‘Loved it… I didn’t want their story to end.’

You're all familiar with facebook, myspace, classmates, etc. and so on ad finitum? Have you found any long lost friends? Caught up with an old classmate? Made snarky comments about the pictures in someone's profile? Fun no? This week I found an old friend that I had sort of forgotten about.
I used to work at Salomon North America, the ski company, before they were bought by the giant adidas. I worked with an amazing group of young sporty types. We were encouraged to ski, snowboard, inline skate and hike. If we didn't know how to do any of those things, odds were your co-worker did and was willing to show you. My best buddy Mike taught me how to skate which I'm sure was no easy task. After Salomon moved to Portland OR, Mike moved on to another opportunity in Colorado and I moved on to get married and start my family. We lost touch and now it's been 9 years.
Last week I was searching through facebook's "Salomon" group and there was my old friend. We messaged back and forth, were happy to get reacquainted, and eventually came to this question: "How come we lost touch?"
Good Question. Why do we lose touch with people we are still happy to speak to? You forget to return a phone call, life gets busy and before you know it ten years have gone by and you don't even know where that person IS anymore. I'm sure I'm guilty of it with more than just this example. I'm thrilled to be back in touch with Mike and I can think of at least one other friend that I need to step up the contact with or I'm sure to lose touch with her as well.
I'm off to send a heartfelt email, can you think of anyone that's slipped from your life?

This post will make some of you say, wha!? For others, awe. German designer Stefan Ulrich created a shape-changing object, not a pillow, using artificial muscle technology. The concept? To help relieve loneliness...awe.
Okay, it took a few reads to understand this. In extreme layman’s terms, the Funktionide changes shape and texture when an electric current is passed through it, creating movement. Are you following me? The Funktionide simulates a living, breathing being.
Seems futuristic for sure, but part of me wants to snuggle up with the Funktionide. And maybe make it dinner.
No word on pricing as it's still in conceptual stages. Watch a video of how the object simulates breathing here.

Feds Step In After School Refuses Autism Service Dog
After almost three years, an Oregon school district has agreed to allow a 10-year-old with autism to bring his service dog to class following a meeting with Justice Department officials.
Jordan “Scooter” Givens’ parents requested that his trained German shepherd, Madison, be allowed to attend school with the boy nearly three years ago. They said the dog would help the boy remain calm and minimize behavior problems by intervening if Givens began acting aggressively.
But officials from the Hillsboro School District, located outside Portland, Ore., refused, arguing that the dog was not necessary.
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
The Givens family subsequently worked with an attorney at Disability Rights Oregon to file a federal civil rights complaint.
Now, after meeting with two Justice Department officials, the school district is reversing course, offering to allow the dog to attend school on a trial basis.
“Service animals assist students with disabilities across the United States every day of the school year without incident,” said Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for civil rights. “Fears, generalizations and stereotypes are simply insufficient to deny access to a student’s service dog.”
Details of the trial period have yet to be worked out.

Out of polymer clay, Russian artist Michael Zajkov creates doll faces and moveable doll body parts that are unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. The detail within his work is utterly exquisite. The handpainted glass eyes are from Germany and the dolls’ hair is fashioned from French mohair. The end result, to me, is quite spooky. The longer I stare at them, the more lifelike they seem. The quality of the expressions is haunting, like they’re lost souls or have tortured pasts.

Burns was assigned to the 22nd SAS, with Sergeant Wallcroft and Corporal Griffen in Bravo Six. They were tasked to investigate a group of suspicious trucks being loaded from the docks in London. Fighting their way to the truckyard using a combination of stealth and lethal force, Burns and company open the first World Charity Organization truck to reveal nothing. Makarov's men fall back into the Tube and highjack a train. Bravo Six and Bravo Nine give chase in subway work trucks. The train derails under Westminster Abbey, killing Bravo Nine and Corporal Griffen in the process. Burns and Wallcroft fight through the station and, after regrouping with other members of the SAS, manage to stop the second World Charity truck by killing the driver. However, they are unable to contain all the World Charity trucks, and Makarov's men release a chemical agent throughout Europe, causing innumerable casualties, including The Davis Family.

My wonderful Father passed away on March 9th. Truly a beautiful man. Thank you for your support. I , as many of you, will never be the same again.
Hello, I have not been on site in long time. My father had multiple bile duct stents and then in past 2 months two duodenal stents. They are now clogged and we are told they can't put another one in. A drainage tube/bag for bile had been put in. They offered another "procedure" to eliminate bag with internal external drain. It didn't work. He has been throwing up bile in hospital and had not slept in a week. They put a ng (nasal gastric?) tube into his nose into his stomach to have the bile sucked out so he wouldn't throw up. He had pulled it out in sleep last night. they said they can poke a hole in his stomach and add a bag for the food backed up in his stomach. Then they said cardiologist say its high risk due to his age and other conditions. He will no longer get nutrition. we now have decisions to make. He was first diagnosed with bile duct cancer and then later they changed it to pancreatic cancer. He is my best friend and greatest ally in this world. He had chemo and radiation and has been off it a long time due to weakness. He has suvived a long time and is fighting now.
Doc said nutrition via shots/iv is dangerous
doc said he can't handle chemo
doc said 2nd radiation dose can't be done.
In my mind, if he gets radiation tumor may shrink a tiny bit and unblock duodenum which is still parially open. they won't do it.
felt obligated to document this on this site for some reason.
My father is being treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York by Dr. Eileen O'Reilly The most caring and professional folks I've ever encountered.
HI Sharonlee. It sounds like you mother is in good,capable medical hands. I am praying her tumor shrinks.
Low platelet counts are preventing chemo treatment. I heard that sesame oil may help. Has anyone tried this?
Gavin, I think they said that Gemcitibine works better than 5-FU. I read that Tarceva has better results but who knows? I will search this site as you and Lainy mentioned.
It seems cancer in my father has not metastasized but spread close to an important blood vessel so whipple is not an option now. They will give him gemcitabine to try to kill some of it and re asses in 2 months. Starts tuesday. RWJ said it was CC but Sloan says pancreatic. Treatment the same. They said the 5fu wouldn't help with this type of cancer. I don't even know what it is but I asked. has gemcatabine alone helped anyone with this?
yes scan with contrast. Surgeon says its stage 1 or 2. suggests chemo and says no rush. Says not candidate for whipple now. this makes no sense to me. No word on cyberknife either. A consultation with Dr. Oreily will hopefully answer more questions. God Bless.
We finally went to Sloan. RWJ said he needed bypass surgery no matter what but we found out from Dr. Oreily about a test that shows much more than a pet scan. At RWJ it felt like we were bothering everyone and they were cold. Sloan is better. Test includes dye I think but I can't remember the name of it. He'll go next week. If it shows cancer spread to important blood vessels then whipple is out for sure. He probably will not have this even if possible. They told him it was probably cancer 2 years ago. Nothing showed for all this time but last stent change a 3.5CM tumor. My dad is acting differently and it is a little tough. I am trying to be strong as you all appear to be.
I think incurable because of his health. Diabetes, 2 of 3 arteries fully blocked and other things. Only thing is whipple which would probably be too much as he is 84 also. We shall see what petscan shows.
Hello, I have been off this site a while. My father's unseen tumor is now about 3 cm. They found it last week when inserting metal b-duct stent. We are told it's incurable. He has petscan apt. next Thursday and we will try to get him into sloan k asap. I heard they are caring there. Bypass surgery has been mentioned. He also has a lump on his leg that makes me fearful this has spread. He is so loving, caring , funny and great. You would love him if you met him. Sorry to be so wordy.
Marrions, thank you for the info and links. Lainy, thanks for the info as well. I am glad your Teddy had success with cyberknife. Regarding my dad, It could be scar tissue causing blockage but ca-ca19 level was high. I guess they need to know exactly what is causing it and where it is for cyberknife. They can't see it on these cat/petscan machines. Thanks again!
A while back surgeons told us cyberknife is the same thing as what is out there already with less side effects. They pretty much put it down. I believe it can shrink tumors but has it ever got rid of them? also Is a petscan better than a catscan? What is the difference? Forgive my ignorance in these matters. My father is on his 2nd metal stent and I'm sure they said he had a tumor but now they say no growth in bile duct but something is still blocking it. Seems exploratory surgury is the only way to know but I've doubts about that. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your great news. My father is 83 years old and it is encouraging to hear a glass half full story of someone his age. God bless!
My deepest sympathies for you and your family Elaine.
Thanks. My father will be going in for a biopsy in the next few weeks/month your post plus what I've read in my sleepless internet studies shows the needle biopsy (fine needle aspiration?) can spread. Does anyone know if ercp biopsy can spread? Is it possible for an ercp biopsy to not yield results? When they put his metal stent in they said they couldn't biopsy because they didn't have the right machine? They did brushings (non conclusive) It is confusing.
My father is facing the surgery or no surgery now. His heart doc said he did good on stress test. My father was almost hoping the doc would say no surgery but now decision time is coming closer. All of your insights are helpful. Thank you.
Hello - We met with gastro today. They have to take out the big metal stent they just put in to get a biopsy with a "baby scope" that goes into the bile duct and give him a new metal stent. Makes me angry they didn't do it first time. They only did brushings. I asked about the things I read about like ca19-9 tumor markers and he said they are only about 50% accurate and medicare won't pay for it. I asked about cyberknife and he said the results are the same as other radiotherapy but with less side effects My father feels very good at the moment which makes it even more deceiving. He is aware that he would most likely not pull through the whipple surgery as 2 of his 3 main arteries to heart are 100% blocked. The tumor is less than 1cm but may be connected to pancreas but he said they can't tell. Gastro also mentioned bile duct bypass surgery but this seems for comfort and less stent replacement visits. Every day with my dad is a gift. He had a grandmother with cancer who was given 6 months to live and lived 10 years to come back to the doomsday doctors to their surprise. He believes this will happen to him. I keep reading how fast this cancer grows. Thank you for your support. I am praying and hoping for those on this website. God Bless you
On Sept. 2 my father had an ercp and a metal stent put in. a brushing test was inconclusive. An appointment to discuss situation with the gastro doc who did the ercp is now in October. I'm worried time is being wasted. shouldn't a biopsy be done immediately to determine if the tumor is definitely cancer? The surgeon says it probably is. Time is ticking and we are waiting for these doctors to make appointments to talk. It could be another few weeks to a month after that just for the biopsy. Am I unduly panicking? I don't know what to think or do but i feel that now is the time for something while the tumor is small. I am praying for those on this site and am encouraged by the good news/ whats working section.
Thank you for your thoughtful responses. My father has mentioned he may not pull through if he gets the operation. The tumor is located in the main bile duct . My parents are waiting for doctor to call and make appointment for biopsy. Surgeon is convinced it is cancer. I will research cyberknife. I read about pdt and that it can kill some cancer cells and shrink tumor but I guess you can't keep doing that . Thank you again for your responses.
My father had itching for four months and was told he had scabies which he didn't. After tests we were told a small tumor in bile duct. He did have jaunders. A brushings test was inconclusive and a biopsy will be taken soon. My father is 82 years old with quite a few health issues . He had a metal stent put in during ercp 2 weeks ago. I have been reading for over two weeks day and night and understand the grim outlook but here are my concerns which I would like your help with. His tumor is less than 1c. My father has a healthy appetite and no pain. The surgeon seemed cold and insensative to my parents but I guess this is how it is sometimes. IF cancer I'm guessing its early stages? They told him they can do the whipple surgery if his heart doc approves (which he probably won't) or maintain it but they didn't say anything to him about anything else. I read average life expectancy after diagnoses is 3months to 18months (high end). He was not told anything. Sorry being wordy. My soul is torn as many of you can relate. thank you for reading this.

Another San Diego County resident has tested positive for measles, bringing the total local case count to four and prompting public health officials to warn the public of exposure at four additional locations in Chula Vista and south San Diego.
The first case, reported to the public on Feb. 21, occurred in a resident who had recently visited the Philippines where a measles outbreak is raging with more than 1,700 cases reported in 2013.
Two more cases popped up last week, prompting the county Health and Human Services Agency to warn the public that the pair had visited several locations, including the Navy Exchange at Naval Base San Diego on Callagan Highway. That location was again on the list this week when a fourth case was reported. The unidentified person is said to have visited the exchange on March 9 between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m.
Additional locations include:
• Veterans Affairs Chula Vista Clinic, 835 3rd Ave., Chula Vista, from March 3 to March 7 and on March 10 from 7 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
• 24 Hour Fitness, 870 Amena Court, Chula Vista, on March 3 and March 9 from 6:30 and 10:30 p.m.
• Mater Dei Catholic Church, 1571 Magdalena Ave., Chula Vista, on March 5 from 6:30 and 9:30 p.m. and March 9 between 5 and 8 p.m.
Measles takes between seven and 21 days to develop after exposure. Initial symptoms include a runny nose and red eyes. A distinctive red rash appears on the head and face one to four days after those first symptoms and spreads outward and downward toward the hands and feet.
Complications of measles can include diarrhea, ear infection, pneumonia and, in rare cases, death.
Though there is no treatment after infection, prevention is possible with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine, which is routinely given to children at 12 months and again between ages 4 and 6.

Ambassador Eric Goosby, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, visited Nigeria at the end of February to meet with senior government leaders, legislators, implementing partners and members of civil society.
While in Nigeria, Ambassador Goosby reinforced the U.S. Government commitment to Nigeria as a partner in the fight against HIV/AIDS and ensured that the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) would continue to work with Nigerian leadership to develop a sustainable, long-term response to the epidemic.
Ambassador Goosby's trip to Nigeria coincided with the visit of UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidibé. Together, they visited Maitama Public Hospital, which is jointly supported by PEPFAR and UNAIDS. They also attended a roundtable discussion with implementing partners to discuss local ownership of the response to HIV/AIDS and partnerships for sustainability.
During a meeting with Nigerian Minister of Health Professor Babatunde Oshotimehin, Ambassador Goosby reiterated the U.S. Government's support for Nigeria's response to HIV/AIDS.
"It is gratifying to hear that Nigeria has developed a robust, orchestrated response at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. What we need to work on is the deficit in prevention of mother-to-child transmission services and shortfalls in counseling and testing. Despite the global economic meltdown, we remain firmly committed to Nigeria's response to HIV/AIDS," he said.

This HOWTO describes the process of enabling acceleration for certain cryptographic algorithms on the BeagleBone Black(BBB). A week ago, I tried and failed due to all sorts of kernel modules problems, but it now appears I have everything in order. Specifically, I will detail how to configure OpenSSL to use the BBB crypto hardware. Update 3/22/14: In the 3.13 kernel, the OMAP TI crypto drivers are enabled by default (for the BBB images).
- Download and flash the Debian eMMC flasher image.
- Do a
apt-get install build-essentialsto get a toolchain on the BBB.
- Download the cryptodev-linux-1.6.tar.gz device source. This allows user-space applications access to the hardware accelerators.
- Download the linux kernel headers provided by Robert Nelson. First run a
uname -aon the BBB to see what version of Debian you have. I was running v3.8.13-bone26 so that’s the folder to which you should navigate. You’ll want to download the linux-headers.deb for your version. If you have v3.8.13-bone26, you file is here.
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-3.8.13-bone26_1.0wheezy_armhf.deb.
- There is a slight problem with one of the headers. Basically, RNelson’s deb doesn’t install all the headers because he was trying to save on precious space for the BBB. So, you need to make one tweak: (Thankfully, I stumbled on this post which gave me this idea!)
sudo nano /usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-bone26/arch/arm/include/asm/timex.h
Remove / comment out the line:
#include <mach/timex.h>and replace it with:
tar zxf cryptodev-linux-1.6.tar.gzand cd into that directory and do a
sudo make install.
sudo depmod -ato register your module.
sudo modprobe cryptodevto insert it.
lsmodand you should see cryptodev in the list!
cryptodevon a line by itself at the end of the file (this will make sure the module inserts on boot).
- Ok, we are done with the module, so go back and download OpenSSL (the starred version) and
tar zxf openssl*and cd into that directory. There is a patch from TI for OpenSSL that their instructions say to install. But that patch was a year old, so I’m not sure if that’s current. I did not install it.
./config -DHAVE_CRYPTODEV -DUSE_CRYPTDEV_DIGESTS shared
make(this takes a long time)
sudo make install. One thing to note, this will install openssl in
/usr/local/ssl/binwhich will not be first in your path to
/usr/bin/openssl. So you should either change the default install directory or update symlinks as appropriate.

2013 was an exceedingly busy year and it doesn’t look like 2014 will slow down. From the launches of new gTLDs to the patent reform bill in Congress, the IP community in the United States will be encountering many changes. Here are some highlights from the last few months.
New gTLD protection
With the roll-out of the new generic top-level domains (gTLDs), brand owners are still facing concerns over protecting their IP. To help address these concerns, Donuts, the largest registry operator of gTLDs, has created the Domains Protected Marks List (DPML). The DPML provides trademark holders a vehicle to proactively block domain names registered on all Donut-operated gTLDs. This is an additional layer of protection beyond ICANN’s Trademark Clearinghouse. For more information:
- World Intellectual Property Review asked Bob Samuelson, VP of Sales and Marketing at Donuts, for more details
- You can also visit the Donuts page
First New gTLDs open to public
On January 29, the first seven gTLDs - ‘.bike’, ‘.clothing’, ‘.guru’, ‘.holdings’, ‘.plumbing’, ‘.singles’ and ‘.ventures’ – opened for general availability. On February 5, Donuts opened seven more for general availability - ‘.camera’, ‘.equipment’, ‘.estate’, ‘.gallery’, ‘.graphics’, ‘.lighting’ and ‘.photography’. Each week thereafter in the month of February additional new gTLDs will be rolled out for general availability.
The first seven days after general availability of the gTLDs are considered early access and subject to a premium price. From day one through seven, the respective pricing is $12,000, $3,000, $1,200, $600, and $150 for the last three days. After the seventh day, regular pricing will go into effect.
Looking for articles on the pros and cons of registering a new gTLD? This post by Berkens at Domains.com offers an interesting perspective on the Forbes article, “7 Things to Consider before Registering a New gTLD.”
Need assistance navigating the new gTLDs? Dennemeyer & Associates’ new Trademark Clearinghouse Service can help.
Supreme Court patent ruling
The Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision, reversing the Federal Circuit, ruling that the patent owner always bears the burden of proof regarding patent infringement. Specifically, the Court held that “when a licensee seeks a declaratory judgment against a patentee that its products do not infringe the licensed patent, the patentee bears the burden of persuasion on the issue of infringement.”
Read more from Stan Gibson at the Patent Lawyer Blog.
In January, the UN launched a new campaign to fight the trafficking of counterfeit goods called “Counterfeit: Don’t buy into organized crime.” This campaign kicked off in Times Square in New York City with a PSA video, “Look Behind.” The goal is to raise awareness of the serious consequences, like funding organized criminal groups and severe risk to consumer health and safety, when buying and selling counterfeit goods.
To read more about this campaign and watch the video, go to the UNODC website.
This global campaign is similar to the national U.S. campaign created by INTA called the “Unreal campaign”. The goal is to raise awareness among young adults, primarily those in high school, of counterfeit goods. Dennemeyer is proud to have participated in this campaign in Chicago last year. Find out more information on Dennemeyer’s involvement with the Unreal Campaign.
Interested to participate in the Unreal campaign like Dennemeyer? Go to INTA’s website for more details.
The first U.S. Dennemeyer Annual Meeting will be held in Chicago, IL from April 9 – 11, 2014. Guest speakers from top companies like Dow Corning and Louis Vuitton Americas will be discussing hot topics in counterfeiting, trademarks, patents and software. The conference is free to attend but seats are limited, so we invite you to reserve your spot today at USannaulmeeting@dennemeyer.com. More detailed information can be viewed on our website.
- April 9th, Evening: Reception at the Willis Tower Skydeck.
- April 10th, Full Day: Hot IP topics sessions at the Sofitel Chicago. View full agenda here.
- April 11th, Morning: Software informational and training sessions at the Sofitel.

For many reasons, the battle of Fort Hindman, or Arkansas Post, holds my interest. Granted, the fight was a “push over” more often remembered for the bashing of egos on the Federal side than for what happened on the field. To understand this battlefield, and begin to imagine how it looked, one must take a step back and see what brought military forces to such a remote area. For starters, consider one of the justifications made by Major General John McClernand for this campaign:
The reduction of [Arkansas Post] will free the navigation of the Mississippi River in the vicinity of the mouths of the White and Arkansas Rivers from the molestation inflicted by hostile parties sent from the Post.
Yes, in my opinion the only justification given that stands up on its own. The rationale is easy to illustrate, given a map of the area from 1863.
On the right is the Mississippi River. Off the map to the south are Federal staging areas, including Milliken’s Bend some 128 miles river miles downstream. The proximity of the White and Arkansas River, between Montgomery Point and Napoleon, offered backwaters and byways that Confederates could hide within waiting to prey upon Federal shipping. A cutoff just west of Montgomery Point, allowed boats to shift between the tributaries without entering the “big muddy.”
Indeed, at the first of the year Confederates captured the steamer Blue Wing, with barges in tow, near Napoleon. Among the cargo was a shipment of Parrott shells for General Sherman. And the Rebels could put those to good use.
To the west, and left, of the cropped map, along the Arkansas River is Arkansas Post. At a sharp bend of the river, the post stood on some of the first high ground upstream from the mouth of the river. Thankfully, the Federals made detailed maps of the area after the battle.
The bend is significant, not just in terms of topography, but historically. It’s one of those places that seems to “collect” history as if rain in a bucket. When Hernando DeSoto passed through in 1542 there were Indian villages nearby. From the 1680 onward, the French established outposts in the area and even fought a battle here with the Chickasaw in 1749. On April 17, 1783, the westernmost battle of the Revolutionary War occurred at Arkansas Post. With the Louisiana Purchase, the post became one of the first American garrisons in the territory.
After Arkansas secession, the post was the site of more military activity. By January 1863, however, it was the site of Fort Hindman which blocked any Federal advance up the Arkansas River towards Little Rock.
When McClernand’s short lived incarnation of the Army of the Mississippi arrived downstream on this day (January 9) in 1863, along with Rear-Admiral David D. Porter’s gunboats, the fort included a pair of 8-inch shell guns and a 9-inch gun, along with several field pieces. The riverboat view of the fort was depicted in the Coastal Survey map of the site drawn after the battle. Note how tall the bluffs were at that time. The “hills” in the background are trees growing in the uncleared land beyond the fort.
Now you’ll note I have not offered any site pictures of Fort Hindman and vicinity. Today, it is no more.
Here’s my take on the location of the fort and relative wartime features. I think the fort and other Confederate defenses (red lines) are close to accurate, but the downstream (right side of map) course of the river is a little more guesswork:
And a view of Fort Hindman from the last time I visited (I think it was April 1993).
Not much to see after the river has changed courses a few times. Here’s another view, offered by Dale Cox for the Civil War Album, from March 2008:
Maybe a place to go fishing, but not exactly a spot for battlefield stomping.
Over the next few days I’ll post more on the battle of Fort Hindman, or Arkansas Post.

HONG KONG said on Tuesday it would release the nine Singaporean armoured vehicles it seized in November on their way home from military exercises in Taiwan, easing tensions between China and Singapore.
After the troop carriers had been seized, Beijing, which regained sovereignty over the former British colony of Hong Kong in 1997, warned countries against maintaining military ties with Taiwan, which it views as a wayward province.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong wrote to Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying requesting the return of the carriers, and Hong Kong said it would handle the matter in accordance with its laws.
The seizure came amid signs of tension between China and Singapore, which has deepened its security relationship with the United States over the last year and remains concerned over China’s assertive territorial stance in the South China Sea.
Since then, Beijing has been unsettled by U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement, made in December before his inauguration, that the United States did not necessarily have to stick to its long-standing position that Taiwan is part of “one China”.
Singapore’s foreign affairs ministry said Hong Kong authorities would release the Singapore Armed Forces’ (SAF) troop carriers and other equipment to the Singapore government, but it did not give details such as a time frame.
“This is a positive outcome,” it said, adding that Lee had thanked Leung for Hong Kong‘s cooperation.
“State of Flux”
Analysts said the impounding of the troop carriers and China’s subsequent comments on Taiwan showed Singapore had to adjust to the region’s changing geopolitical climate.
“This whole incident is a reminder that things are in a state of flux,” said Gillian Koh, deputy director for research at the Institute of Policy Studies in Singapore.
“We didn’t know that we would be influenced or infected by this state of flux, but this is now brought home very acutely and explicitly.”
Singapore has a long-established, if low-key, military relationship with self-ruled Taiwan, using the proudly democratic mountainous island for infantry training.
Beijing has grudgingly tolerated this agreement since re-establishing diplomatic ties in the 1990s with Singapore, which recognises Beijing’s “one China” policy that says Taiwan is part of its territory.
But China has repeatedly warned Singapore to stay out of the South China Sea dispute, where China’s claims overlap with those of Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam.
Singapore has no claims in the South China Sea, but the open economy of Southeast Asia’s biggest port depends on free navigation in the area.
In a post on his Facebook page, Singapore Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said: “SAF Terrexes are coming home to Singapore. Looking forward to this happy reunion with all Singaporeans in the Year of the Rooster.”
Hong Kong‘s commissioner of Customs and Excise, Roy Tang, said in a statement the vehicles were seized because of “a suspected breach of the Hong Kong law.
“Hong Kong Customs has completed its investigation of the suspected breach. The investigation might lead to criminal prosecution,” Tang was quoted as saying.
“The military vehicles and the associated equipment will be returned to Singapore through the carrier.”
Singapore has said the vehicles were being shipped commercially as with previous exercises. – Reuters

What a sweet cup and saucer. Made by Trimont China, this square cup and saucer feature a green base with a pink orchid design. The collectible, bone china tea cup was made in Occupied Japan, dating it to the 1940's. The footed cup has a gold rim and gold swirled handle. The saucer has a scalloped, gold trimmed edge and a matching, hand painted flower design. The bottoms of both pieces are marked "TRIMONT CHINA Made in Occupied Japan".
The cup stands approximately 2 3/4 inches tall from the top of the handle to the bottom of the feet and is 2 inches square at the opening. The saucer measures 3 1/4 inches square. This little tea party piece is in excellent condition. There is a scratch on the back that seems to have been from the original manufacturing (see photos).
A sweet little cup and saucer to add to your china cabinet or feature at your next tea party.

If you wanna go sharp, you gotta go PC.
Capcom revealed recently that the console version of Devil May Cry HD Collection would not support 4K resolutions and the consensus was that this will also be true of the PC version.
The company revelaed when asked about the PC version of the game:
“The engine and game code/logic is likely tied to the video refresh cycle. The game will support resolutions 4K and beyond though.”
Good news then. Devil May Cry HD Collection will debut on March 13, 2018.

Self Directed Learning
by Paula Cleary
Just wanted to share my own experiences of the children being obsessed with something for seemingly 10 hours a day!!! And the whole worry of 'they're doing nothing all day except for that!'
My boys have been obsessed with lego for the last two years, and play with it every day, with the same verve and enthusiasm as they did when they first discovered it! No wonder it has been voted the world's number one toy!
Occasionally I get in a panic about the fact that they can sometimes seem to be lego building all day. Yet they have taught themselves how to build all-sorts, following the step-by-step instructions from the booklets that come with the lego, and also by experimenting with endless combinations.
The boys LOVE star wars and have some star wars lego, and enjoy playing the PC game too. I sat and watched one time as my five year old negotiated his way through multiple levels which involved an incredible amount of skill to master. The boys often play this game co-operatively, and have advanced in their understanding of the game through playing together like this.
In terms of the models that are being made, one of my boys demonstrated to me how to build a spaceship he had made, which was perfectly symetrical (maths skills). He built it piece by piece, then deconstructed it, then built it again in the same order over and over again, almost to the point of autism. I couldn't get over the kind of engineering processes which had gone into his thinking. Maybe all those episodes of watching 'the way things work' helped!!!
And I guess all those hours playing the various Lego games for the PC, subscription to Lego magazine (which is free incidentally) and a trip to Legoland (magic!) in the summer all helped to build and consolidate on the many wonderful things that encompass my boys world of Lego learning!!!

I posted a code on Maitreya and Bush at http://www.hiddencodes.com
This has been a long time coming. It is something I have been seeing for ages. And now it is so dominate in the codes right now I can't Not run into it. It's dominant. Completely.
I couldn't do a code on Mickey Mouse right now and this Maitreya stuff wouldn't be dominating in it instead. Think the Lord is trying to get my attention?
And talk about a head wound. Now that would be taking it completely literal wouldn't it? I just reveal what is there folks, I don't come up with this stuff on my own..I am just a messenger, and no, I don't care whether it fits into your opinions and theology and dogmatics, it's there the way it is. I don't have anything to do with that but revealing it.
Reminds me of the Miami code. The Miami bombing was delayed, but it still hasn't been cancelled. I remember seeing months later, and even now at times in the codes how exasperated and frustrated they were about those plans being exposed.
There is a war among the factions of the NWO. Seen and unseen. But they all work together to bring about prophecy whether they want to or not. For Bush, it's not exactly a death but a promotion. They view things differently than most people do.

For young people, text messaging is rapidly replacing talking on the phone. Parents could easily assume that typed text is the best way to stay in touch with their tech-savvy kids.
But newly published research suggests that, in times of stress, there’s no substitute for the soothing sound of mom’s voice.
That’s the conclusion of a research team led by University of Wisconsin-Madison cultural anthropologist Leslie Seltzer. In a study released last year, Seltzer and her colleagues found comforting words from mom decreased levels of cortisol (a biomarker of stress) and increased levels of oxytocin (a hormone linked to trust and kindness) in 7- to 12-year-old girls.
But was the soothing a response to their mother’s words, or simply the sound of her voice? That increasingly relevant question was explored in a follow-up experiment, which the researchers describe in the journal Evolution and Human Behavior.
The study featured 68 girls between the ages of 7 and 12. They were instructed to give a talk and solve math problems “in front of an audience trained to maintain a neutral facial expression.” After this stress-inducing 15-minute session, the girls were randomly assigned to one of four groups.
Those in the first group met in person with their mothers, who provided reassurance via both conversation and touch. Girls in the second group rested alone, with no parental contact. Members of the third group spoke with their mothers over the phone. Those in the fourth group sent and received instant messages with their mothers but did not speak with them.
All the girls had their cortisol and oxytocin levels measured before and after the experiment. The results: those who had in-person interaction with their parents and those who spoke with them by phone had similarly higher levels of oxytocin and comparably low levels of cortisol.
However, those who communicated via text message had low levels of oxytocin and increased levels of cortisol, both of which were comparable to those who had no contact at all with their parents. In terms of bodily stress response, the instant messages apparently had no impact.
For Seltzer and her colleagues, this suggests that “auditory cues” rather than “the linguistic content of an exchange” promote the hoped-for hormonal response. They note that this makes sense from an evolutionary perspective, since mothers were soothing their children with words thousands of years before the advent of written communication.
The study has its limitations, of course; for one thing, it was restricted to mothers and daughters, and the girls were in a specific age range. What’s more, the researchers concede it is possible that the mothers’ lack of proficiency with text messaging may have frustrated the daughters, increasing their stress levels further.
Nevertheless, this study suggests we’re losing something by turning so heavily to text.
Reading the words “How did you do?” and hearing them are two very different things — especially if the voice in question is a familiar one and its tone conveys concern and empathy. Spoken language provides level of emotional communication words on a cell-phone screen cannot quite reach.

Check out this funny football video of the most entertaining medic in the history of football. This medic thought it was a good idea to show off his gymnastic skills before helping the injured player who looked in some pain.
Of course such skills can only come from Brazil with the aid of some white gloves.

I am continuing my experiments with paired pies and ice cream. This is apple. The pie is King Arthur's Secret Ingredient Apple Pie, made with boiled cider. The cider is rich and thick and makes the filling more intense in a very nice way. The ice cream is made with homemade apple butter. The intense spices of the apple butter go very well with the cream and add to the rich experience. The apples don't get lost in the ice cream and the cream helps to modulate the intensity of the pie. Everything works together perfectly. Vanilla ice cream on pie is a safe choice but these pairings are definitely worth the effort.
