For Starkville Daily News
Cincinnati has a timely history with much of it riding the venerable grandfather clock. At one end of the pendulum was the Samuel Best Clock Company with Herschede Hall Clock Company chiming out the other end.
Not much is known about Samuel Best except that he had three wives, was 12th in the list of pioneers owning a section of Sycamore Hill, and made clocks in Cincinnati around 1810.
Herschede Hall Clock Company is known throughout the world. Frank Herschede was born on July 30, 1857 in Cincinnati, Ohio. At the age of 16, he started to work as an apprentice watch and clock repairman.
In 1857, he went into business for himself and moved to Vine and 5th Street. He branched out to jewelry, watches, diamonds, etc. and in 1885, the store moved to larger quarters at the corner of Arcade and Vine. This same year, he started to import movements and have cases made in a cabinet shop on Front Street. The clock business expanded to the point that Frank bought out the cabinet shop in 1900.
In 1901, he exhibited in the South Carolina and West Indian Exposition at Charleston, S.C. where he received a gold medal for his hall clocks. This was the first of several. Frank's son, Walter, graduated from high school in 1902 and went into the cabinet shop to work. On December 29 of this same year, steps were taken to incorporate the Herschede Hall Clock Company.
The factory moved from Front Street to 1011-1013 Plum Street in 1903. Several medals were won by Herschede in the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis in 1904: a gold medal for the best hall clock, a gold medal for the best hall clock cases and a silver medal for tubular chimes.
In 1909, the company leased the building next door at 1007-1009 Plum Street to make clock movements. The first movement was assembled and passed final inspection on January 10, 1911. In 1913, the third melody was added to the Whittington and Westminster Chimes, Charles Eisen, "a gifted American pianist," especially for Herschede, composed "Canterbury Chimes."
At the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the quality of the line again resulted in two major awards: the grand prize was presented to the Herschede Hall Clock Company for chime hall clocks and mantel clocks, and a gold medal was awarded for the hall clock cabinets manufactured by the company.
By the early 1920s, branch sales offices were opened first in New York City, then in Chicago and San Francisco. Frank Herschede died on September 15, 1922, and Walter was named president in January of 1923.
In 1925, Walter started to work with Mr. Warren with the electric movement chime clocks. By April 1926, the Revere Clock Company came into being.
On February 4, 1934, Walter's son, Dick Herschede, started full time employment with his father. Many years later, in 1959, contact was made with the North Mississippi Industrial Development Association and Herschede moved to Starkville, Mississippi in May of 1960. At that time, Herschede was America's oldest maker of chiming floor clocks.
Roy and Jean Slater moved from Time Hill in Cincinnati with the company to Starkville. It was not until 1968 that Jean began working at Herschede. However, Roy started working for Herschede Hall Clock Company in Cincinnati as a welder in 1946 right after a tour of service. Upon the retirement of the clock maker, Steve Stinchcomb, in 1950, Slater was asked to become the clock maker. He had seen it done but felt he needed training. The Herschedes' were all quite accomplished clock makers, so he was taken into a room where he watched a 9 tubular clock be dismounted and was then left in the room alone to put it back together again by himself. His training consisted of taking the clock apart and putting it together again and again for one week and then he became the clock maker. One of the most important techniques he remembers is putting the clock in beat and setting the cylinder to chime at the right time. He said while at the plant in Starkville, he taught around one hundred fifty people how to do this. Through the years, Slater made suggestions to Herschede, which were implemented for many improvements to the clocks, which include the tubular chimes and the lift foot. Clock owners all over shipped Slater their clocks for maintenance and repair and as they traveled collecting antiques, he would frequently stop to repair a clock or clean it for his customers. He also made house calls all over Starkville and vicinity until recently.
A fond memory that Slater recalled was in 1958 when Herschede sent three clocks to Cuba, one for President Fulgencia Bastista, one for the Minister of Finance, and the other for the Secretary of the Interior. Bob Herschede and Slater flew to Cuba to set up the clocks and stayed in the Caprice Hotel, which had a casino, etc. and was a magnificent hotel. Herschede had sold Cuba some parking meters prior to this because the U.S. and Cuba had good working relations under Bastista. President Bastista gave Slater a box of the most expensive Cuban hand-rolled cigars as a gift. Upon Slater's return, he gave every cigar away to his friends and didn't even keep one for himself.
Slater also remembers the enjoyment shared by several employees of Herschede who had their own bowling team who bowled at the Starkville's first Bowling Lanes, which was located where Back Stage Music is today.
Slater's favorite Herschede clock is Model 250, "The Clock," the clock with the highest price tag in history -$3,400 at that time. Some say they have seen it on the web as high as $100,000 now. According to R. L. Herschede, Sr., spokesman for the company, there hasn't been a new clock like it since the old European craftsmen faded away more than a century ago. "The Clock" was made at the Herschede Hall Clock Company in Starkville.
"Nothing was spared – wood, metal, glass, human ingenuity – in its design and manufacture," said Herschede.
"Money was no consideration. We set out to build the Rolls-Royce of clocks and, up to a point, we didn't care how much it cost."
"The Clock" (that's its real name) looks as if it came from a Venetian castle. Its 7'2" case is made of Obeche, a South African mahogany, and prized Acacia burl, a rare California wood characterized by flaming colors and patterns.
Each 14-karat, gold plated dial is hand engraved by an 83-year old craftsman. This old master, who retired from Herschede years ago worked not at the plant in Starkville, but in the backyard of his home in Arizona.
The case is hand-fitted with some 170 feet of strip brass, which undergoes the full finishing process of the cabinet. Beveled plate glass covers the front and sides of the cabinet permitting a peek at the highly polished brass weights and nickel-chime tubes inside.
A special finish, created by deJonge Creations of Grand Rapids, gives The Clock the appearance of a 200-year old antique.
"DeJonge is like a Rembrandt with a piece of wood," enthuses a Herschede executive. "He can build depth into wood like nothing you ever saw."
Even the tubular chimes in The Clock are unique and were the extraordinary work of the old master, Roy Slater, who came with Herschede from Cincinnati to Starkville. The company says it developed a special suspension system that increased the chime vibration from 11 to 35 seconds.
The Clock plays three chime tunes: the Westminster, the Whittington and the Canterbury, a melody written in 1920 especially for the company's founder, Frank Herschede.
Herschede was the only firm in America that actually manufactured movements for its grandfather clocks. Other manufacturers import the movements from Germany and install them in American-made cases.
In 1973, Herschede merged with Howard Furniture and Briarwood Lamps into Arnold Industries, Inc.
When Herschede moved to Starkville in 1960, Roy and his wife, Jean, moved into a house, which was located where the former Holiday Inn was built on Highway 12 and Montgomery Street. Moving from a city to a small town was quite different but they fell in love with the people of this small town plus many of the office personnel and plant workers moved from Cincinnati so they were not alone.
In 1961 when Greenoaks subdivision was established, the Slaters' had their home built on Aspen Road and were the first ones to live in Greenoaks. Many of their friends asked them why they moved so far out. That area was rural, and they even had rural mail delivery back then because they were not in the city. They remember an airplane landing on Highway 12. Jean and Roy each had a motorcycle, which they got on to go investigate the landing. The pilot had run out of gas and asked if they knew where he could get some aviation fuel?
Roy Slater retired in 1985 with almost 40 years of service with Herschede. He continued working on clocks for people who had them shipped to him and making house calls in Starkville and vicinity until recent years. With this many years of making clocks, it is no wonder that many people refer to him as "The Master Clock Maker."
Today, he and his wife, Jean live in another rural home with a shop called "Back Roads Antiques" some ten miles from Starkville down the Chapel Hill Road which they have operated since 1984. When you enter the shop, you will be greeted by two of the friendliest people with smiles that make you know you are welcome. Through the years their customers have come from many states and even a group on a tour from Japan. Recently a tour from Chicago stopped by to shop. Roy and Jean both say, "it is the people that we fell in love with that makes us stay here and keep our business going." The Slaters' are also the last remnant of the Herschede Hall Clock group from Cincinnati who moved to Starkville in 1960.
Richard L. Herschede, Jr. remembered, "I've known and admired Roy Slater since I was a little kid—which was quite a while ago. He always had the respect of my Dad and myself as the man who knew hall clock movements and how they worked and how to fix them. As Starkville welcomed Roy and Jean, his clock reputation grew. I don't think there is anyone who has a Herschede clock that doesn't know the name of Roy Slater. In addition to his clock reputation, he is also one of the nicest and kindest men that you could ever meet. He always has a smile on his face and has never been heard to say "No."

OK ; a couple more eggs and we will eat !
A lemon entry my dear Watson!
When life gives you lemons…….
Lemon tree very pretty and the lemon flower is sweet
But the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.
The pollen is terrible this year.
I've got the snitch.
I'll get you my pretty
Reaching for the brass ring (so to speak).
Ah, nuts!
Wifey thinks i never get her anything on these rides, wait until she sees this lemon……
Come to Papa !!!
Harry's later years, when he could no longer ride a broom to chase the golden snitch
Tour de Lance, no yellow jersey…just his old testicle.
Ahhh…my Precious!
Probably full of ticks.

Building a car is a series of milestones that fall in line until the builder is ultimately rewarded with a finished car. One such car-building milestone is paint, but another key moment is getting the car down on all fours and rolling about on its suspension. Our Camaro project Track Rat is no exception. A few months back we stitched a CA Chassisworks four-link arrangement under the back and now it's time to give the same TLC to the front. After having the '68 on a dolly for the last two years it'll be nice to see it rolling on terra firma.
For the front of the Camaro, we will be running a complete subframe from CA Chassisworks. To be precise, it will be their g-Machine subframe. This is a direct bolt-in deal, but that's where any similarity to the stock subframe assembly ends. The suspension itself was designed on a "clean sheet of paper," not just a variation of OEM geometry. Using high-end Pro/Engineer software, the wizards at CA Chassisworks were able to create a current-technology, yet competitively priced, g-Machine front clip. And while the performance of this subframe will be similar to late-model Corvette-based systems, it doesn't force you to run flat-face, high-negative offset wheels. Prices range from just under $4,400 for their "value system" to $6,698 for their "ultimate pro-touring system." But, there are myriad of various options available to tailor the subframe to both your needs and your wallet, so you might want to grab a notepad and hit their website at www.cachassisworks.com.
01. OK, so obviously the main player in the front subframe assembly is the subframe itself. The Chassisworks sub is larger and stronger than other tubular designs on the market. A lot of this is due to the massive 3x4-inch subframe structure at the critical chassis stiffness area from the front crossmember rearward through the firewall mounts. The design is completely enclosed, which adds strength, and each rail is assembled from four separate 12-gauge sheetmetal panels. The rail panels are CNC laser-cut and, once the contour bends have been made on the fully automated press, the panels are assembled using positioning features. They explained it as a three-dimension puzzle since the rail panels can only be fit together in the absolutely correct shape. Once in place, the four corner seams are welded with a continuous bead to completely bond the joint. The welds are so nice that even though they will sand them smooth (for $375), we recommend you spend that money on some open track days.
02. Installing the frame under the car was as straightforward as stuffing a stock frame under there. This is in large part due to the alignment holes, which duplicate the factory arrangement. Chassisworks also supplies a pair of CNC-machined alignment pins for even greater accuracy. Once both pins were in place, we simply tightened down the bolts through our aluminum body bushings (PN 6816). They do offer urethane bushings for those who want to cut down on transmitted vibration a bit, but we sort of like it.
03. According to Chassisworks, their lower A-arms are the strongest and most rigid pieces out there. The TIG-welded arms feature 1.25x0.156-inch wall steel tubing and 1x0.156-inch wall, multi-plane triangulated crossbraces. The CNC-machined weld eyes create a stable bushing housing that inserts into each arm tube and gradually tapers to match the outer tubing diameter. This eliminates fatigue points normally found in other "T"-style tubular bushing-housing joints. The geometry offsets the ball joint forward to improve static positive caster. It also places the shock very close to the spindle in a dropped position for better control. The lower pivot points are spread broadly apart, increasing performance while eliminating the need for secondary strut rods.
04. The lower arm was then secured to the subframe using the unique pivot-stud hardware. This specially designed Allen-drive, beveled-head pivot stud threads directly into the g-Machine crossmember. The fasteners feature a thread-free ¾-inch shank for maximum shear strength and have a broad bearing contact surface that reduces wear. There's also a shoulder on the bolt that ensures the correct amount of bearing preload. The arm is further secured using oval-point set screws. Also, you can see one of the rack mounts (red arrow) that uses Chassisworks' interlocking-slot-tab technology. Self-fixturing female slots in the frame are used to properly locate mounts, which employ corresponding male tabs. They are then fused together using a spray-arc welding process.
05. The upper arms may not look strong, but they are. Constructed from mandrel-bent 1x0.156-inch wall steel tubing, with 0.875x0.156-inch wall crossbraces, they are TIG-welded into a triangulated design that is strong and allows for plenty of shock clearance. With the aid of a fixture, the tubes are seated into recessed faces along the ball joint housing to create an interlocking fit. On the geometry side, the arm provides positive caster upon installation by offsetting the ball joint rearward. The pivot bearings are self-lubricated and require little maintenance thanks to minimal linear resistance and zero deflection. And if they do wear, the arms are easily rebuildable.
06. The use of CNC-machined billet steel allows Chassisworks to create A-arm mounts with specific areas of increased thickness for added strength. The fixed-axis pivot-pin design eliminates the possibility of shifting pivot shafts, has greater shear strength, and increases bending resistance. The increased rigidity of the design keeps the arm in place, making the car's handling predictable. You can see the one-piece clevis shock mounts that have an integrated gusset resulting in a great-looking, and more importantly, stronger mount that won't fail over time.

Forty years ago, most people thought of adoptive parents as couples who could not become pregnant, and who adopted an infant to raise as "their own." Today, some adoptive families are formed in this way and for this reason, but there are many new ways in which adoption brings families together.
Adoption today may include infants born in the United States or abroad, or it may involve children joining their new families at any age before 18. Children may be of the same race as the family they join, or they may not. They may be placed individually or as part of a sibling group. Domestic adoption includes adoption through private adoption agencies, or independently with the assistance of an attorney or other intermediary, and adoption through public agencies. The latter involves children who are adopted from the foster care system, often by relatives, known as kinship adoption. In international adoption, children are placed from countries in Eastern Europe such as Russia, and from South American countries such as Guatemala and Peru. Many children are also adopted from Asia, where China and Korea are the leading countries sending children to the United States.
These behaviors can certainly wreak havoc on family relationships and result in worry and conflict. The behaviors do not necessarily mean that the child is experiencing difficulty related to adoption, but only a therapist who understands post-adoption challenges can help decipher the problem.
It is important to note that post-adoption issues can also surface during adolescence, a life stage that can often be a challenging time for any family. Teens are trying to figure out their identities: who they are. As teens struggle to formulate their identity and figure out who they are, having two sets of parents can complicate this task because adopted teens must determine how they are like and different from both their adoptive and birth parents, whom they may have little or no information about. Adopted teens often have more anxiety about emotionally separating from parents, as well as leaving home.

Mitigation services are fast becoming a great work at home business model for many around the country.
There are many types of mitigation services, some of which involve loans and lawsuits, those are not the services we will be discussing as home business opportunities. The services we are highlighting have to do with the true definitions of the word mitigation " to make less severe, less painful and less costly" after catastrophic damage to one's home or business.
That is where the opportunities are bountiful and rewarding as a start up or franchise work from home business.
Consider these important industry facts concerning just a few types of home or business loss services.
- Water damage is the number one homeowner insurance claim.
- One third of all insurance claims are mold or water damage related.
- Water damage and mold damage cost insurers $5 billion nationally on an annual basis.
- Changes to water chemistry contribute to accelerated corrosion and failure of copper pipes.
- A 1/8-inch crack in a pipe can release up to 250 gallons of water a day.
- Property damage resulting from water damage due to plumbing failures and freezing pipes is the third most common cause of homeowner loss.
That is just a sample of the industry statics that equal a lot hurt, pain, damage, and cost that require immediate mitigation to avoid becoming worse.
What Drives All The Damage?
Think about the simple fact that the insurance policy market pays out around US$ 200 billion each year to recover storm damage consisting of roof, home siding, home window in order to rain gutter harm, a number that normally rises yearly. And also it is an exterior insurance restoration firm that commonly does the job.
As the number of solid tornados including rain, higher winds and hailstorm is on the rise. In 2010, the U.S. was struck by additional all-natural catastrophes compared to ever before, with 247 snowstorms, thunderstorms and floods that cost the country 10s of billions of dollars in damages.
Insurance policy business in 2010 paid out more than US$ 9 billion for electrical storm harm alone, highlighting a 500 % rise in typical yearly electrical storm loss since 1980.
Basing the info on the CBS Morning Information, in the three-day duration of April 24-27, 2011 there have been more than 1,000 intense weather forecast across the country. 2011 has actually verified to be a historical year for tornadoes and tornado damage to property. 90 % of all damages will be repaired at the expense of the insurance policy market!
Continue to browse our site as we look at the different type of mitigation opportunities and the right kind of people for these extraordinary businesses.

I tried glominerals other mascaras in the past. I loved that they are good for me. I loved that they look great on me. However, I constantly had a problem with smudging. While this isn't the most water resistant mascara in the world (hence the 4 stars instead of 5), it does give me the "is good for me, looks great on me" results I expect from glominerals without all the smudging! Thanks, glominerals!

This mascara is the answer to what I have really hated about other water proof mascaras in the past. While it stays on all day long, it is still easily washable with facewash and warm water at the end of the day - no tugging or pulling on my eyelashes or around my eyes with this water resistant, not waterPROOF mascara.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Former Gov. Terry Branstad rode his claim of experience and stability back into office Tuesday for a fifth term as Iowa governor, defeating incumbent Democratic Gov. Chet Culver.
The loss by Culver marked the first time since 1962 that Iowa voters have ousted a sitting governor.
Branstad beat Culver by a solid margin, with about 53 percent of the vote to 44 percent for Culver with 78 percent of the state's precincts reporting.
Branstad promised to hit the ground running, saying he'd move quickly into the transition.
"We'll start right away, tomorrow," Branstad told The Associated Press.
He noted that Republicans made gains in the Legislature and said that would ease his task as governor.
"That's going to give us an opportunity to get things done," Branstad said.
Branstad credited his win to "hard work and a focus on jobs, those things that Iowans really care about."
He said it was a tough election.
"It's never easy to beat an incumbent," said Branstad. "We worked hard, and we turned our votes out."
A somber Culver said he was proud of his accomplishments during his single term in office, pointing to increasing the minimum wage and recovering from disastrous flooding.
"It's been an enormous privilege to serve the people of Iowa," said Culver. "We are proud of our record."
With the decision, Culver and Branstad must begin a rare transition from one party to the next, and they will be under severe time pressure.
While Culver will deliver the annual State of the State speech to a joint session of the Legislature in early January, Branstad will be responsible for submitting a new budget by late in the month. The two sides appeared to be making the initial moves toward cooperating, with Culver telephoning Branstad with congratulations, and Branstad praising the governor he defeated.
"He was a real competitor," said Branstad.
The race for governor was filled with unusual twists, including both candidates claiming their experience in office was the difference.
Branstad's fifth term will come 12 years after he left office as the state's longest-serving governor.
The campaign for governor has stretched on for more than a year and has been the most expensive in state history. Each candidate has raised more than $8 million, spending much of the money to air nonstop television ads.
Culver argued that he led the state through a deep recession and dealt with plunging tax revenue by cutting spending and not increasing taxes. He's contrasted that with Branstad's 16-year record as governor, which included tax increases as well as tax cuts.
Branstad has focused on his claim that much of Iowa's economic problems could be blamed on Culver. He was especially critical of a Culver program that borrowed more than $800 million in an attempt to generate jobs while also financing flood repair and infrastructure work. The debt is being repaid through state gambling revenue.
Culver, 44, is the son of former U.S. Sen. John Culver. He attended Virginia Tech University on a football scholarship and returned to Iowa to get his master's degree at Drake University. He taught and coached at Des Moines high schools before winning the first of two terms as secretary of state in 1998. He was elected governor in 2006.
Branstad, 63, served in the Legislature, then was elected lieutenant governor in 1978. He was elected governor in 1982 and went on to service four terms. After leaving office in 1998, Branstad became president of Des Moines University, a medical school.

The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
This traditional American carol turns to Song of Songs 2:3 for inspiration; it uses the familiar apple as a emblem of the very tree of life, emphasizing that the promise we have in Jesus goes beyond the merely material to encompass our complete shelter, nourishment, and passionate joy.
BioLogos has been following a sermon series by Pastor Tim Keller entitled The Bible: The Whole Story-Redemption and Restoration." The book of Romans masterfully addresses the solution to the issues raised in Genesis.
Today's featured message focuses on the uniqueness of Christ Jesus. This week's discourse accentuates Jesus' engagement in history, his disclosure of reality, his embodiment of the ideal, and finally, his triumph over the grave.
Although it is now clear that we, "the sons and daughters of Adam," were created through an evolutionary process, we believe that all of humankind has a fallen nature in need of redemption. Like Eve before us, we hear a voice telling us that we can sort out good and evil on our own. We don't need God, we think.

172 flights canceled in Duesseldorf airport strike
BERLIN (AP) - Scores of flights have been canceled at Duesseldorf airport after security personnel walked off the job in a one-day strike to press their demands for higher pay.
By midday Monday, the dpa news agency reported 172 starts and landings of 593 planned had been canceled. Some 250 workers staged the so-called warning strike, a tactic used by German unions to increase pressure on employers.
The ver.di union seeks a roughly 30 percent pay increase this year for private security workers, including about 2,000 airport security personnel and 32,000 others in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. Employers have offered a 9 percent raise.
Ver.di has staged regular strikes this year at the state's Cologne-Bonn and Duesseldorf airports as well as in Hamburg, where it's also seeking a new wage deal.

Is there any evidence that it does actually help ?

Anyone know any different ?

Indiana Baseball, Men's Golf and Women's Tennis Receive APR Public Recognition Awards from NCAA
June 14, 2012
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Indiana University baseball, men's golf and women's tennis teams are among an elite group of Division I sports teams being recognized for top academic performance as part of the NCAA's academic reform program.
Based on their most recent multi-year Academic Progress Rates, these awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs. The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester or quarter by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention, and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport.
The 954 teams publicly recognized this year for high achievement represent 560 women's teams and 394 men's or mixed squads. Full APRs for all teams, including access to postseason play and penalties for low-performing teams, will be released June 20.
"I want to congratulate the baseball, men's golf and women's tennis student-athletes for their outstanding work in the classroom, and commend the leadership of head coaches Tracy Smith, Mike Mayer and Lin Loring for continuing to reinforce academic achievement as a top priority.," said IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Fred Glass.
High-performing teams receiving public recognition awards this year posted APR scores ranging from 978 to a perfect 1,000. Baseball had a multi-year rate of 992, men's golf was at 1,000, as was women's tennis.
"These teams prove that it is possible to not only balance academic and athletic commitment, as most student-athletes do; but to exceed standards and post outstanding academic scores," said NCAA President Mark Emmert. "The drive and determination shown in the classroom and on the field by these men and women represent what it means to be an NCAA student-athlete."
A total of 263 schools, out of 347 Division I colleges and universities, placed at least one team on the top APR list. Additionally, 8 schools that offer athletics in more than one division, out of 49 overall within the NCAA, placed Division I teams on the list. In seven years of the NCAA's academic reform program, 2,946 different teams have received Public Recognition Awards, representing 46 percent of eligible teams during that time. Of that total, 209 teams have received Public Recognition Awards each of the seven years of the program.
The most recent APRs are multi-year rates based on scores from the 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 academic years.
We are very proud that these programs are being publicly commended on their outstanding academic achievement," Glass added. "The academic success of these teams is fortunately typical of our programs which routinely exceed the NCAA acceptable minimum of 925 by a very large margin."

text: Over the offseason, I've been attempting to figure out my best guess for what Mike Shanahan and company will do in their first real offseason. Shanahan and Allen have had their staff for a full year now, and are now familiar with all the players. Shanahan knew the players only by film last offseason, but now knows what he truly has. It will take a couple seasons before Shanahan is fully comfortable, but he is on his way. In all of the mock drafts, most people have the Redskins selecting from a pool of players consisting of Julio Jones, AJ Green, or Jake Locker- often stating WR and QB as the biggest needs. But, this is my take on the Redskins approach, come April 28th. Read more

Robert Porter went from broken home to career helping make homes
Last updated at 20:23, Thursday, 05 April 2012
Robert Porter came from a broken home and was brought up in a children's home.
It's not something he dwells much upon, but it is certainly what helped to mould him.
It has given him what he calls a "passion" to help those who get a tough start in life.
It is what has driven him – as director of social landlord Derwent & Solway Housing Association – to try and create more positive communities on some of West Cumbria's biggest housing estates over the past nine years.
As we sit chatting in the boardroom at Derwent & Solway, Robert confesses: "The things I went through in my early life have given me the passion and have driven me in this role to help make conditions better for people in similar circumstances."
He stepped down from his position at the social landlord on Friday.
He has been promoted to be group director of communities for Your Housing Group, where he will have the responsibility of overseeing four regional directors.
Robert, 50, of High Street, Workington, says: "I came from a broken family and was raised in a children's home but I don't want to go too much into that.
"I didn't go to university as most people would have expected me to. I only went to Whitehaven Secondary School. I never consciously had a career path or a plan but I always loved being involved in housing, working with the local people and community.
"I worked my way through the ranks and I've had fantastic support and encouragement off many individuals.
"I still have a home in the area, and my new role will incorporate Derwent & Solway so I will be keeping a watchful eye."
Robert, who is married with children, started his housing career at Allerdale council in 1988 as a rent collector.
He joined Derwent & Solway when it was formed in 1999 and worked as a support service manager and central service manager before being appointed director in 2003.
"Things were very different when I started and there wasn't a clear vision," he says.
"There had already been three directors in the years before me and that was very destabilising for the team.
"I've always had an open door approach and been accessible to tenants, and treated everyone as individuals.
"I recognised that there was a lack of opportunity in the area in terms of such things as education and poor health, and through our vision I wanted to help regenerate the local communities."
Under Robert's leadership, the team achieved external funding in excess of £10 million to support community based regeneration. This has gone towards programmes such as Routes 2 Work, which was awarded a gold award from The Housing Initiative in 2008 and Drama, a scheme to provide people with affordable loans.
The social landlord has also won Cumbrian Business Awards in 2007, 2008 and 2009, and created employment for 25 local people.
But the scenario that sticks in Robert's mind is the disastrous 2009 floods, which affected 1,000 Derwent & Solway properties.
He recalls: "The floods will always be something I remember because of the devastating impact they had, but I do also look back on that time with huge affection because of how West Cumbrian people responded.
"Their resilience was touching. It was a time which really tested us, but within three weeks we had our first properties dried out in Keswick and the residents back in before Christmas.
"We had everybody else back in within a three-month period, which was a huge achievement."
He is struggling to hold back the emotion, as he adds: "My heart and my fondness will always remain in West Cumbria but by moving on I hope to replicate some of the things we've been able to do at Derwent & Solway.
"Doing this role has never been about me looking for any praise as I'm one to shy away from the spotlight, but it was a fantastic opportunity to help those people who really needed help.
"Workington and West Cumbria is place that is rich in culture and the people are fantastic, they should be very proud.
"I don't think I've ever been anywhere else where people have had the same warmth and care for each other.
"I leave behind a team that is equally committed to the region and I've not doubt that, they, along with my successor, will continue to strive for customer service excellence, making a positive difference in the lives of our residents and the local community."
A decision is yet to be made on a new director for the housing association.

With the first half of the 2013 NFL season coming to a close, NFL fans have witnessed the ups and downs that come each year. While Broncos and Chiefs fans have much to be excited about, Jaguars and Buccaneers fans are on the other side of the coin. And while most (not all) fan bases can find something to cheer about for their favorite team, at least one player on every team has failed to live up to the hype and expectations that the fans, coaches, and likey themselves had at the beginning of the year.Check out the following ten players who are putting together a pretty disappointing season so far.

Comedy, Romance
It's modern day South Africa, and in Cape Town, the beautiful Ayanda is just days away from achieving her lifelong dream: the perfect white wedding. The only problem is that her husband-to-be, the loyal, committed Elvis is 1800 kilometres away in Johannesburg. He sets off on Tuesday night by bus to Durban intending to connect with his childhood friend and best-man Tumi. But the plans start to go awry when Tumi doesn't show up at the bus station. Not an auspicious beginning, but this is just the first in many comic and illuminating misadventures they meet along the way. In the end, the two lovers learn that celebrating their union is more about the journey than getting to the church on time.

Apple Macbook Air compact available in time for Christmas
Coming in at around the same size as a fourth generation iPod nano, the Miroir de poche MirrorBook Air is bound to be the biggest Christmas wish for any self-respecting fangirl out there.
Sure, it's not exactly Apple-endorsed and no, there's no cutting edge tech on board (in fact, there is no tech at all on board) and your girlfriend or wife may not recover from the disappointment for the whole of Christmas Day should they think, even for a split-second, that you'd generously bought them the latest Apple kit - but we still think this could be a stocking-filler favourite.
On offer from French etailer w3shstore, the mini mirror MacBook Air costs a fraction of the price of the real thing and is even slicker than Apple's latest Wonderbook (Apple doesn't like the name Ultrabook, so we've devised our own moniker).
And just look at that crisp display. Talk about life-like. Not exactly anti-reflective though.
Think your loved one may prefer the real thing? Check out our Apple MacBook Air review just in case.

A short history of the past and future of Oregon Health and Sciences University
When scientist Joe Gray reports to a new lab now under construction just north of the Ross Island Bridge, he'll find himself on some of the firmest ground in the Northwest. His research suite is being designed and engineered to protect some of the world's most powerful (and expensive) electron microscopes: devices that can create images of individual atoms, and can't be allowed to vibrate any more than the thickness of a fingerprint on a piece of paper.
The lab's location, in some ways, couldn't be worse. Built atop jelly-like riverside soil, it will sit next to a rumbling streetcar and a new MAX line. And so engineers will surround those microscopes with a 30-foot-deep trench, isolating them from the rest of the foundation of the new Collaborative Life Sciences Building, a $295 million, 500,000-square-foot behemoth that will become home in spring 2014 to various programs run by Portland State, Oregon State, and Oregon Health & Science University. The lab will also sit on piles driven 130 feet into the ground to reach denser soils, plus a four-foot-thick concrete slab.
Gray, a New Mexico native recruited to Portland in 2011, and his lab are part of an extraordinary effort at OHSU. Fitting metaphors for what man and machines will add to both the medical institution and Portland might include the Trail Blazers suddenly adding a Hall of Fame forward, or the Oregon Symphony nabbing enough philanthropy to build Portland's own version of LA's Disney Concert Hall. Gray, his lab, and the team of elite researchers who will work there are part of an audacious quest to change how we battle cancer, and to become one of the world's leaders in that struggle.
The vision: a day when doctors can replace the assault of chemo and radiation with strikes that target specific tumors in individual patients—and even the genes and molecular structures within tumors. The man guiding this vision, Brian Druker, is already famous for developing Gleevec, one of the first drugs to target the genetic changes behind a specific cancer. Four years ago, Phil Knight, the Portland-born founder of Nike, and his wife, Penny, gave OHSU $100 million for cancer research—at the time, the largest gift in the school's 125-year history. (The Knights later topped it with $125 million for heart research.)
The gift launched OHSU and Druker on a campaign of recruiting coups, scooping up top-tier researchers from elsewhere for the newly renamed Knight Cancer Institute. "We can attract the best 'athletes' at the peak of their careers to work here," Druker says. "This attracts more talent, including the young stars of tomorrow, to move here to learn from the best and make their own contributions."
Druker's first two major scores are Gray, a pioneer in cancer imaging and genetics, and Lisa Coussens, a biologist who studies the environments in which tumors grow. While OHSU doesn't disclose exact details, each such recruitment costs about $20 million in salaries, relocation money, and promised budget for researchers who will work with Gray and Coussens. Each brings a handpicked team of other top scientists with them, essentially moving whole labs (and millions in research budgets) to Portland from former employers Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the University of California, respectively.
"Cancer is complex," Druker says. "It's not going to be one person or even one individual lab that solves the problem."
"We need to understand how cancer cells function, how they grow, how they die, how they move, how they make new blood vessels." —Joe Gray
The near-term goal will be creating a complete guide to cancer: a picture of how cells start growing out of control, how it lives, and how it spreads. As Druker explains it, "We'll have a manual of every single part that can break." Druker also wants to know more about what surrounds tumors, and how cancers interact with other cells. "We're already figuring out how the broken parts are assembled into a cell and how to visualize them," he says.
This understanding will help scientists develop more drugs that attack cancer on the most minute level, targeting the molecules in individual cancer cells. The ultimate payoff: an era in which life-saving results come without the punishing side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, which exact a toll on healthy cells even as they kill tumors. In the longer term, Druker wants to make Oregon's death rate from cancer the lowest in the country. We currently rank smack dab in the middle, with 173.4 annual cancer deaths per 100,000 people. (Utah's cancer mortality rate, 120.7, is the current lowest.)
These goals could take decades to achieve. But the team that will pursue it is coming together now—led by scientists whose insights and drive represent Portland's best chance to rewrite a feared ailment's future.
Brian Druker | Fast-tracking science
Today, brian druker manages an annual budget of about $120 million. In the early '90s at Harvard, he could barely get his research funded.
Druker wanted to study drugs that could target the molecules causing abnormal cell growth in a white-blood-cell cancer called chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). He was developing a drug that interfered with biochemical processes inside cancerous cells themselves that were driving their growth—a complete contrast with an earlier, less-direct approach of blocking activity on the surface of cancer cells. ("It's getting into the criminal's head and changing the criminal's behavior, " says Otis Brawley, chief medical officer at the American Cancer Society, "versus handcuffing the criminal and throwing it into jail.") Many in the field considered this idea too new and untested to fund with precious grant money. Druker managed to win OHSU's backing in 1993—a gamble that led to his pioneering drug Gleevec and simultaneously made and saved Druker's career. "Quite honestly, if it had failed," Brawley says, "Brian would have been drummed out of academics."
Gleevec transformed the prospects of people afflicted with CML—where once patients almost always died within five or six years, most can now manage the cancer as a chronic illness. It also broke open the field of targeted cancer therapy, an approach that seeks to treat cancers not just based on what part of the body they attack—as breast cancer, colon cancer, and so on—but by the makeup of the tumors themselves. Today there are as many as 40 such drugs on the market, Druker estimates, with hundreds more in clinical trials. In 2009, Druker won a share of the coveted Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research award—considered America's Nobel. (He's been mentioned as a potential recipient of the actual Nobel.)
But the broader potential, as he sees it, lies in expanding Gleevec's basic concept—attacking a specific cancer using a nuanced understanding of how it works—to battle all cancers, perhaps even before they start. "We may get to a point where we understand the molecular basis of risks," Druker says, "and could use a treatment that would prevent people from developing cancer."
As the Knight Cancer Institute's leader, the soft-spoken Minnesota native sees his role as building a team that can turn that theoretical insight into clinical practice—fast. "Whether it's with one drug, five drugs, or 10 drugs," Druker says, "I just want to make an impact, and I want to do it as quickly as we can."

Canepa: McCoy may be for real
The powder blue jersey has been turned inside-out. And we have no idea how it's going to look in Sunday light or how it will wear on San Diego's skin.
The Chargers have decided to go with two young captains to run their football team, and we have no choice but to come aboard knowing by this compass reading that the direction has been set toward Parts Unknown.
A week ago, club President Dean Spanos hired 40-year-old Tom Telesco as his new general manager. Tuesday, Spanos hired 40-year-old Mike McCoy as his latest head coach. Neither has held similar jobs, Telesco coming here as Colts director of pro personnel and McCoy from Denver, where he served as offensive coordinator.
Risky? You bet. A disaster? We can't know. Telesco may be the next Tex Schramm. He may be the next Steve Ortmayer. McCoy may be the next Tom Landry. He may be the next Kevin Gilbride. What we do know is they are bright and devoted to their sport.
Again, I'll quote my father, a lifelong commercial fisherman: "You never know what a captain's like until you get on the water with him."
"So true," says Ted Tollner, who has served as a head coach at USC and San Diego State and spent many years as an NFL offensive assistant. "Position coaches want to be coordinators and when they get the jobs find it different than what they thought. Same with coordinators wanting to be head coaches. I don't know either of them personally, but I do know that, until the guy's there doing the job, you just don't know."
It appears to me Spanos and his search party of son John, Telesco, capologist Ed McGuire and venerable consultant Ron Wolf did due diligence in a week's time (although Spanos, knowing for weeks he was canning Turner, very well may have had Wolf sniffing around long before season's end). The two choices are very highly regarded in NFL drawing rooms.
It's easy to say McCoy spent last season in Denver with quarterback Peyton Manning, who often is considered his own offensive coordinator. But McCoy the season before coached different-than-everybody Tim Tebow to a playoff win _ no chance Tebow called his own plays _ and the year before that McCoy coaxed a decent year out of Kyle Orton, who reminded nobody of Joe Montana.
"No question, Peyton Manning can make you look good," Tollner said. "But on the other side of it, there's the argument that McCoy was able to adjust and bring the best out of his people. He was able to figure out that (Tebow) fiasco last year and this year he found himself in a totally different situation with a leader (Manning) and made it work. He has to have some real people skills."
McCoy, who admits he's "not a yeller and screamer," has the right approach.
"It's our job as football coaches to take advantage of what players do best," he said Tuesday at his christening. "I have no problem running the same play 10 times a game."

KAHLA Tao Bowl
About the Designer
The handwriting of a team The speziell design agency seeks what is special in the ordinary. When Sybille Fleckenstein, Jens Pohlmann and Thilo Schwer founded their design agency in 2002, they called it speziell (special) in order to express their aim of seeking a unique, surprising and special solution for every project. The three product designers believe in the strength of a design process to which different team members contribute their different experiences and priorities. This enables pithy solutions to be created which focus not on an individual's ego but on a jointly discovered approach. These are subtle designs that display exceptional functionality, allow emotional aspects to be incorporated, are thought out in detail and for which a holistic concept can be found that fits in exactly with the brand and company. It is this handwriting of the team that provides the designs of speziell with a strong and self-contained character but without ever appearing artificial or exaggerated. The speziell design agency has became known internationally above all through its innovative surface design for the Thuringian porcelain manufacturer Kahla: The flock elements on plain white porcelain caused a stir in the sector and also significantly enhanced the company's brand awareness. Prizes speziell received for "Touch" included the Red Dot Best of the Best and the if-Award. The focus of the design agency's work lies in the furniture, kitchen and bathroom areas; the projects range from lighting to office furniture and from porcelain sets to trade fair stands and have received numerous design awards.

About the ManufacturerThe modern global world is characterized by flexibility, speed and a constant change of focus – and everyday life thus primarily calls for variable concepts, unconventional solutions and compatible systems. What Kahla does best is ensure that when it comes to porcelain your every wish comes true. Porcelain that suits you, that is as individual and flexible as your life style.
For Kahla, innovation means producing solutions that go beyond inflexible processes and the conventions of yesterday. Solutions that are produced economically, ecologically and are ultimately affordable. With this challenge, Kahla has set out to create a new dimension to eating, to enjoyment and to hospitality. By means of design competitions and workshops Kahla is in a permanent dialogue with a host of ambitious avant-garde minds. The fact that Kahla are asked again and again by young innovative designers to enter into partnerships proves to us that we know what you want.
More than 40 design prizes in ten years – two numbers that underscore KAHLA/Thüringen Porzellan's success story. In 2003 alone Kahla won an impressive ten awards, for the most part for our product design, but their marketing activities and packaging were also singled out for glory. Kahla is rightly proud of the numerous red dot awards and German Designer Club prizes. Kahla is particularly pleased that their porcelain even picked up awards in the USA (in 2004 in the renowned IDEA competition) and in 1999 and 2002 the Good Design Award in Japan.

So, please note the most current, accurate Yellow-rumped Warbler nomenclature
appears at the 1/26/11 article, below.
Past articles about this species from 10/10/09, 10/5/09, and 7/8/09 are no longer necessarily
correct, in terms of the subspecies names associated with the Yellow-rumped Warbler species.
Please read the 1/26/11 article for more precise direction you can take to learn more.
Now back to your wood-warbler questions, with many to answer after I go birding.....Cheers, Daniel
Got wood-warbler questions? If so, I have answers for you. I'm Daniel Edelstein — biologist, birding guide, birding instructor (www.warblerwatch.com and firstname.lastname@example.com) — who ponders: Are there any wonders in our world more fascinating than the elegant beauty of wood-warblers?

On the covers of the first two Discworld books, Josh Kirby actually drew Twoflower with four physical eyes. Consensus on alt.fan.pratchett has it that Terry was trying to get across the fact that Twoflower was wearing glasses ('four-eyes' being a common insult thrown at bespectacled folks), but that Josh Kirby simply triggered on the literal text and went off in a direction of his own. Whether this action essentially shows Kirby's interpretative genius (the KirbyFan explanation) or his inability to get the joke / read very carefully (the NonKirbyFan explanation) is a matter still under discussion.

FLL Mission Overview Part 10 - Personal Vehicle Choice
13 comments:
- Krishna Kumar said...
Jonathan, I find these mission related posts extremely helpful. Thanks. As a first-time mentor, the tips you are providing are extremely valuable.
One of the thing I need clarification on and not sure if it has been covered in a post here is: for the mission challenges do the kids have to combine all the missions they will be attempting into one program or can they have the robot complete a mission and return to the base, where the kid can start the second mission by running the second program and also in the process aim the robot or position it in the right direction.
Thanks in advance
- Nov 12, 2007, 10:11:00 AM
Most teams return to base after every mission to change attachments and set the robot to a new mission program. Some missions that are close together on the mat can be combined into one trip. Last year, after hearing that never in the history of FLL had a team completed every mission in one trip, the Flying Geeks did the entire challenge in one trip. (They did touch the robot at the very end to put on an attachment so the robot could activate the other team's elevator lever to get a perfect score.) You can see this amazing video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABx9jsJ4r5o

- Krishna Kumar said...
Thanks Linda
Also, what is a decent score? Or decent number of missions to attempt.
- Nov 12, 2007, 9:05:00 PM
- Kurt said...
A decent score is whatever makes your team feel good. Some teams probably will be lucky to get the 50 points you get if your robot doesn't do anything. Others will score 400's. The kids should be proud to have learned something, no matter what the score.
- Nov 13, 2007, 2:19:00 AM
Unlike most years, the power puzzle challenge has very few scoring opportunities that can be referred to as missions. In the past the robot could drive straigh out, push or pull on something, return to base and receive some points. This year some of the tasks are so complex that multiple trips out of the base will likely be required. The vehicle choice mission is an excellent example of this. Other complex missions are the corn, grid and power supply missions.
For the vehicle choice mission some teams may use three robot excursions to score the 25 points. My team does most of the mission in one excursion, and the remaining bit as part of another. With so many tasks to perform this year it is very important to combine multiple activities into one robot program.
The last time I checked my team has the robot return to base 6 times in the course of completing all the missions. They are trying to cut that down to have enough time for the robot to perform an interpretive dance as time expires.
- Nov 13, 2007, 6:08:00 AM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
Hey that's great, Krishna, thanks for letting us know. We're glad we can help people understand the missions better.
Linda's right about returning to base - my team does a lot of that.
As for a good number of points... it really depends on what the team members are up to. 200 is great score, and at my state tournament (New Jersey), a 300 last year (probably less this year, because of the harder challenge) would have won the Robot Performance if you don't count my team.
- Nov 13, 2007, 11:15:00 AM
I watched two teams at a scrimmage last week score 20 and 40 respectively, meaning that they did not complete any missions, AND they lost some barrels for rescues.
It is possible to post a respectable score without a lot of talent. Our team scored 200 points by doing just the easy "push-it-there" missions (4 trees in one place, 2 wind turbines in one place, satellite, grid connex to one property with hydro-dam, and then push the wave turbine). We put these missions together in 4 hours.
Unfortunately, we probably lack the ability/talent to perform any of the other missions, even with 5 weeks until tournament time.
It's fun, though. We chose the easiest missions, and the kids (9 and 10 yrs old) had blast.
- Nov 16, 2007, 4:50:00 AM
- Team Brick said...
lets not forget about the three oil barrels that start in the truck. Each worth 10 points in base
- Nov 16, 2007, 5:16:00 AM
- Krishna Kumar said...
Thanks for all the helpful responses.
Our qualifying round (we are in upstate NY) is this Saturday. We must clear this for the Dec event. We also decided to go with simple push technique.
Another quick question: we are doing the missions as multiple programs. We have the robot return to the base at the end of each mission, where we select the next program and aim the robot with the payload. :-) We find that for some missions, the robot does not come back completely into the base area. Is it okay to pull it in or if gets stuck outside the base, can we pull it in. Will there be a penalty?
- Nov 16, 2007, 1:25:00 PM
- Jonathan Daudelin said...
If any part of the robot is touching base (it doesn't have to completely be in base), you can touch it without penalty. If the robot is completely OUT of base, and you rescue it, you lose an oil barrel, unless there are no oil barrels in base.
- Nov 16, 2007, 1:48:00 PM
- Krishna Kumar said...
Thanks everyone for the helpful comments.
Today our team participated in the qualifying round and we have advanced into the regionals to be played on Dec 9th.
We used simple push technique, and were able to score 180, 185, and 215 in the three rounds. The top score was 270 at our competition center. I didn't get much chance to look at other teams. But most were using the push technique with some help from optical and US sensor.
Thanks for the help.
- Nov 18, 2007, 1:24:00 PM
Are those scores you posted raw scores, or do they include any RCX Bonus Points, which would be 60 points at this scoring level.
I'm very disappoinited with the RCX bonus this year. It's far too many points and it's applied very poorly. I think that teams that used the NXT last year should not be allowed to use the RCX just to increase their scores.
- Nov 20, 2007, 5:09:00 AM
- Krishna Kumar said...
The scores I posted are all for NXT based robots.
I don't think I saw an RCX based robot at our qualifying round center.
