Bass, Black Sea
Black Sea Bass are caught among rocky structures by both recreational and commercial fishers.
They begin life as females and become males by the time they're five years old, a characteristic that has the potential to increase their vulnerability to fishing pressure.
In the Mid-Atlantic, good management in recent years is helping Black Sea Bass recover and they're no longer overfished. In the South-Atlantic, however, Black Sea Bass are considered overfished and overfishing is still occurring.
This fish may have high levels of mercury that could pose a health risk to adults and children. More mercury info here.

Plan to study babies of addicted moms
Submitted by WIKY News on Mon, 03/03/2014 - 7:56pm
A major study of babies born to addicted mothers in Indiana would take place, under a bill that passed the House via a unanimous vote. The measure that started in the Senate creates a new definition for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, and requires hospitals to report when it happens. The state Health Department would create a pilot program, on ways of identifying and reporting affected newborns. And it assigns a commission the job of studying treatments available to women who are pregnant and addicted, and the training available to professionals who deal with children born addicted.
Warrick County votes not counted
Submitted by WIKY News on Mon, 03/03/2014 - 7:50pm
A mistake was made, it was just discovered, but it apparently would not have affected the outcome of any of the 2012 Warrick County elections. The Evansville Courier and Press reports an error caused 3700 early votes cast to not be counted. Chair of the Warrick County Democrat Central Committee, Kevin Derr says the company that services Warrick's electronic voting machines found one of their technicians inadvertently uploaded votes at the Election Office incorrectly.

Fire extinguished in Princeton
Submitted by WIKY News on Mon, 03/03/2014 - 7:49pm
Firefighters from a half dozen departments are called-in to help put out a house fire, at Pine and Seminary streets in Princeton. Chief Mike Pflug says two men had already gotten out of the home when his crews arrived. Pflug says the fire appears to have started in the back of the house near the laundry room and then spread to the attic. He says below freezing temperatures made it difficult to extinguish Monday morning. Nobody was hurt.

Boonville woman killed when he pick-up truck crashes
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 02/28/2014 - 8:00pm
A Warrick County woman is killed in a crash at Highway-62 and Maxville Road in Boonville. She's identified as 34-year old Carson Kaye Carlisle of Boonville. Sheriff's investigators say that late Friday morning, Carlisle was west-bound on Maxville at a high rate of speed, when she drove off the road, then over-corrected her steering. Her pick-up truck began to flip and Carlisle, who was apparently not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected. She was the only one in the truck.
Tanning bed restriction closer to becoming law
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 02/28/2014 - 1:28pm
A measure to block children under 16 from using tanning beds in Indiana has cleared another legislative hurdle. House members approved the proposal Thursday. The Senate passed the bill last month. The bill would throw out a current law requiring minors under 16 to have parental supervision at tanning salons. The proposal also would require the State Department of Health to create standards regulating tanning bed use in Indiana.
Kentucky decision on same sex marriage
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 02/28/2014 - 1:25pm
Kentucky must immediately recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states and countries. A federal judge signed an order Thursday that eliminates part of the state's ban on gay marriages. It makes official his February 12th ruling that Kentucky's ban on same-sex marriages treated "gay and lesbian persons differently in a way that demeans them." Same-sex couples may change their names on official identifications and documents and obtain any other benefits of a married couple in Kentucky.
Senate votes for conference committee to study early childhood education
Submitted by WIKY News on Fri, 02/28/2014 - 1:19pm
The Indiana Senate votes by a wide margin to create a conference committee, to study early childhood education. Republican Luke Kenley says the legislature needs to have a better handle on getting federal funds for education scholarships, because the annual cost of a statewide voucher program could reach $270 million. Thursday's vote was 44-4. Governor Pence had asked for a $10 million pilot program, that would provide access to pre-kindergarten for low-income Hoosier families in five counties.

Manila Nokia Lumia 710 Leather Envelope

Manila Leather Envelope
Aside from being a culturally iconic conversation piece, the

The synthetic leather construction of the case protects against drops, spills, and scratches. You will also appreciate the soft fabric lining and reinforced corners; little details that go a long way toward peace of mind.

World Championship: Anand levels the score as Gelfand blunders his queen (VIDEO)
Due to a tactical oversight by Boris Gelfand, Vishy Anand needed only 17 moves to level the score in the World Championship match in Moscow, Russia. On Monday the World Champion played 3.f3, just like in game 3, after which the challenger went for a Benoni-like structure with 3...c5 instead of the Grünfeld. The game quickly got quite sharp, but suddenly the Israeli chose the wrong path and completely missed that his queen would be trapped. The score is 4-4 with four games to go.
Anand returns to 1.d4, but Gelfand won't play the Grünfeld
If we don't take into account the second match game Fischer-Spassky, Reykjavik 1972 it was the shortest decisive game ever played in a World Championship match. Right after the opening Boris Gelfand miscalculated, and got his queen trapped on h1. He could have saved her majesty by developing his queen's knight, but his position would have been lost anyway and so he duly resigned.
For a moment the State Tretyakov Gallery was in total shock, and the journalists in the press room couldn't believe their eyes. Vishy Anand had only needed 17 moves to level the score, breaking the previous record of 19 moves in Steinitz-Zukertort (20), 1886.
At the press conference, which started a bit later than usual because the players were taken away for drug testing, Gelfand admitted that he had simply missed Anand's last move 17.Qf2.
I had to calculate a lot of lines, and I miscalculated.
Anand had seen the idea quite early.
I had seen sometime before that it was a blunder. I think I even saw this when I played exf5.
We've alreay looked at some of the online commentaries and it's striking to see how everyone, blinded by the engine's evaluations, fails to explain the blunder from a human perspective. Hungarian grandmaster Peter Leko, who was giving commentary on games 7 and 8 for the official website, told us:
First of all I don't think it's a tactical idea. It's just an accident which suddenly happens because it's completely unexpected, nobody thinks of this. For sure the computer points it out long in advance and that's why everybody thinks it's simple, but no. Black's problem was that after White's g4 he had an incredible wide range of moves. For example he could take on b1 and move his knight, and Black is fine. However, by that point Gelfand was probably very motivated, he was looking for more. Then he saw ...Re8+ and the motif with Qf6 attacking f3, and after Black takes on h1 White's attack on the kingside is not winning. Then, there is also Kc2 for White but I think Gelfand was planning to sacrifice an exchange there. So he was calculating all these complicated lines... I was explaining this to the audience already half an hour before it happened, and it all had a very logical consequence. It was very human to think like this.
The continuation of Leko's explanation is included in our video:
As the video also shows, Gelfand was amazingly professional during the press conference, answering questions the same as always, and even joking a bit here and there.
The match has really come to life now, with two decisive games after six draws. Anand was asked whether he had a different mindset.
I would like to think I play each game hard. It is true, sometimes it happens like that. The last two games were not same as before; they were emotionally tough. I don't know if I (knowingly) played aggressively today. It was a consequence of this position and I knew I had to fight hard. If I played well, I'm happy.
On Wednesday the match resumes with game 9, in which Gelfand will play with the white pieces again.

Oh dear, what an awful game. Let's hope this unleashes both players now and doesn't just presage a general collapse from Gelfand. Come on Boris!
It is funny that Leko was also advising 14.Qf6...
The match is on fire now!
Well done Vishi!
At least 3 players missed 17.Qf2, Leko, Nepomniachtchi and... Gelfand!

Where can I read / follow Leko's and Nopomniachtchi's comments?
They were today in the official broadcast on the match site, you can still watch the broadcast there. Nopomniachtchi joined almost in the end.
1 year 11 months ago
Leko is explaining here exatly why the audience is electrified http://www.chessdom.com/anand-scores-the-shortest-wcc-victory-equalizes-... but interesting to see yet another championship where Anand loses a game and then comes back. Right as what I saw in Sofia.
1 year 11 months ago
Svidler in the Russian commentary booth saw that Qf6 was a blunder and discussed the end-position before Qf6 was played.
1 year 11 months ago
Yeah. Leko, Nepo and also Shipov missed that in his blog comments. He saw it was dangerous for black. But it's hard, even for a GM, to make the precise calculations including Qf2 and realize the queen is trapped.
Evidently, for some reason Qf2 was difficult to spot, but there was hardly a lot of "precise calculations" involved ... it's like three forced moves, either you see it or you don't :)
Evidently, for some reason Qf2 was difficult to spot, but there was hardly a lot of "precise calculations" involved ... it's like three forced moves, either you see it or you don't :)
Shipov didn't miss this. Quote:
14... Qf6 Wha-a-a-t? Boris is continuing to play riskily with the motto "Not a step backwards!"
16... Qxh1 But will the glutton return from its raid?
17. Qf2 Exactly. Black's queen is hobbled
Shipov shows main variations. Taking the rook and losing the queen was not a main variation so he didn't show it before. You can't show ALL variations or it would be a forest that's unmanageable to wade trough later.
Don't make too much of this. They were live commentating without computer aid. They can't talk and think at the same time so they were showing lines based mainly on ideas and chess understanding, not deep calculation.
People are making this into some sort of amazingly complicated line that was impossible to see for a human, but for players on this level it was of course a huge blunder. Leko and Nepo were chatting about various lines and memories of old tournaments while throwing out various interesting ideas. It's another thing to sit at the board and go through everything in detail and "be responsible" for the position.
Still surprising that they didn't see Qf2 of course, it was a combination of only five ply. Maybe one reason is that they didn't even look for something like that but "trusted" Gelfand to have checked the simpler tactics, and that this is why they concentrated more on endgame subtleties after hypothetical exchange sacrifices etc.

Vishy Anand leaves the whole chess world dazed and confused!!!

It's such a shame the game ended so quickly. Leko's commentary was so entertaining, I wish I could have heard more of it. Does anyone know if Leko will be doing the commentary for the next games?
For sure one more Svidler & Kramnik on commentary. That should be awesome
Leko won´t, unfortunately. But next game Svidler will be there.

Incredible! I believe this is the shortest game ever won in a matchgame for the World Championship. Please correct me, if I am wrong.
Something for Tim Krabbé, perhaps?
1 year 11 months ago
Gelfand got relaxed and blew it. He told in the press conference that he has slept full 8 hours after his win, maybe he should sleep less and be more concerned...
Ian Nepomniatchi and Peter Leko all missed this shot. But Vishy saw it as early as he played g4. Qf2!!.
In the pressconference he told he planned Qf4 and later 'refined' it to Qf2. So he did not see the MOVE Qf2 when he played g4, only the IDEA...
1 year 11 months ago
Gelfands confidence will take a bit of a hit after that game.
Leko admitted he didn't see white's riposte (Qf2 - trapping the queen) when it was over. Despite that, his commentary over the last 2 days has been a highlight for me. As the nature of the game positions changed, he quickly came up with plans and ideas. Damn interesting and enlightening.
Leko "Good thing for Boris is that if he listens to my commentary, he will know that I also missed this".
1 year 11 months ago
Now Anand may continue to play sharp, double edged from the beginning.

Could somebody give the link to where you can follow Peter Leko's commentary?
Mark De Smedt

Alright, it was a major mistake by Gelfand, but from this title ("Gelfand blunders his queen") one may think he played like a beginner. However, at this level most miscalculations, even these huge ones, are not that easy to spot. For one thing, during the live commentary both Peter Leko and Ian Nepomniachthi (top-20) were convinced Gelfand was winning until the moment Anand played 17. Qf2. Anand also deserves some credit: during the press conference, he said he already calculated the whole line before playing 12.g4. And even in the final position it would take considerable skill to finish off the work after Black plays 17.... Nc6. Technically this allows him to save the queen (Houdini suggests 18. dxc6 Qxc6 with +1.50 for White). I'm sure Anand would have won if Gelfand had played on, but I do want to stress it's easy to criticize blunders, draws and so on. Another thing is to sit there and dispute the title. My greatest respect to both players for the chess and sportsmanship they've displayed so far.
1 year 11 months ago
And I hope hearing Leko's commentary (which has been totally terrific so far -- nobody else doing commentary in the last 3 WC matches has come close to giving the kind of lines/analysis that is going on in the minds of the players) will change the mind of his critics who are too quick to criticize his draws - and show respect for a very strong top level GM.
And, match ON.. the match couldn't be better poised at this stage.
17... Nc6 leads to a position that may be +1.50 for the moment, but without any counterchances. It would be masochism to play on like that.
may be anand should play like tal....gelfand will be mighty scared to accept any piece offeres from now....
Ok, Vishy at press conf. said, he saw this when he played 11.exf5. Ok that is pretty deep even if its expected at the wch level. May be its one of those moves either you see it or you dont. And thats why Gelfand, Leko and Nepomniatchi dint see it until it was played.

A bit dangerous to comment on this, because of course I saw Houdini play Qf2 too, before Gelfand played Qf6. But still: quite unbelievable 3 top IGM's missed this. I mean, Anand isn't just a common patzer and with Nf4 coming, his position doesn't look too good if he can't take the knight. And it looks a bit naive just to think Anand blundered the exchange with 13 Kd1. Catching a queen that takes a rook on h1 or a1 is as old as modern chess itself; no need for exclamation marks on Qf2.
So, what went on in Gelfand's mind? (I missed the press conference.)
Gelfand must have thought he was just winning the game and the match and that Anand had blundered away it all. Still, he had more than 50 minutes on the clock and should probably have checked again, it is after all not often Anand blunders that badly in the opening and this was quite an important game.
That Leko and Nepo also missed it was surprising, but on the other hand they sit in comfort in the studio and chat about this or that so they aren't as concentrated on the position as the players.
Anand had seen the whole line in advance, as he pointed out, it reminds of that game against Kramnik in 2008 when Kramnik thought he was winning and realised he was losing first when Anand's hand was in the air to make the final move.
There was no point for Gelfand to check. All other moves were already bad. The whole line was bad, starting with Re8. That's where he was calculating and obviously, miscalculated.
Well, he was slightly worse but there's a big difference between being slightly worse and dead lost, so saying that there was no point in Gelfand's checking if what he thought was the winning line worked is an exaggeration, it is the World Championship after all and it was an important game. Even if several commentators missed that Qf6 was losing it still wasn't a very complicated line for a title match, it was only five ply to the final position.
^_^ I agree with you, redivivo!
But is was also psychological. Gelfand thought he had Anand on the ropes with this secret weapon. He wasn't even considering being in a position where he had to scrape a draw.
Oh well. It's hard to play Black and Benoni is even more tricky. Even when everything goes Black's way, you can end up in losing position.
See the good thing is that they are not using engines in the live commentary...this is absolutely great....to see the expression on the faces of those GM s when they missed it...nowadays..most commentators have a rybka...or a houdini with them when commentating...its such B.S...coz it clouds their opinion...and we amateur s can t learning anything from it. Watching leko though...we really get an insight into how a GM things ...what are the plans...etc....rather than jst looking at my engine and tonnes of variations....:)

Comments On Jan 23, 2014:I bought these tires for my old man as a birthday present not knowing anything about them other than they were cheap. After a whole season I'm pleasantly surprised at how well they've held up. The front still looks brand new and the rear has only worn down 10-15% (this is going out almost every weekend for 5-6 months). Only one complaint... Don't get them for someone faster than you. They throw a mean roost.

Comments On Oct 31, 2013:I have used this rear tire several times on many different bikes. It is very predictable and wears well. It holds an edge for several rides (mx) and when the edge is gone it still hooks up extremely well. It is a very versatile and long lasting tire. Even when comparing to other "name brand" tires, this tire ranks at the top of my list.

Comments On Apr 30, 2013:I go through tires like crazy. Duros last as long as any brand, and are considerably better than most high end tires Ive used. I ride mainly tight, rocky woods, and open desert; they work well in both conditions!

Comments On Jun 04, 2012:I bought this tire simply because it was a great price and I needed a fresh tire on my CR250 for a Hare Scramble. The tire was awesome and showed almost zero wear in conditions that were perfect and really would not challenge any tire. The second ride on this tire was a 6 hour endurance Hare Scramble in dry, hard-pack, and rocky conditions. The tire lost almost 50% tread and has a fair amount of knobs that are torn. So, if you're going to beat a tire in rough conditions, the price is right for this one. If you want something that will last... spend an extra $30+ and go with a name brand. Ultimately, this is what I expected from this tire, at 8 hours of hard riding it's pretty much worthless for anything but easy trail riding.

There are 7 FAQs for Travel Basics.
Many countries have specific requirements for passport validity, and often require passports to be valid significantly longer than the length of your trip – this can vary depending on your country of origin, as well as other factors.
Please check the passport and visa requirements for all countries you'll be visiting on your journey, and make sure your passport has appropriate validity to cover your whole trip.
If your itinerary takes you via another city and you'd like to spend some time there before continuing to your final destination, tell your reservations agent or use the Stopover tab on the main Make a Booking page.
For example, if your route is Dubai to Melbourne via Singapore, you may choose to stop over in Singapore. Generally, stopovers can be added to your ticket free of charge. Be sure to ask your reservations agent about exclusive hotel rates and offers for our stopover passengers.

Universal File Mover (UFM) manages the transfer of files. The user combines a series of Action commands to create the UFM Workflow XML file. These Action commands define which actions are to be taken, the order of the actions, and how errors are to be handled. UFM processes the Action commands as per the UFM Workflow XML file. UFM currently contains 41 Action commands. These action commands fall into five categories: WebSphere MQ Actions, Network Actions, File Actions, Control Actions, and Other Actions. UFM can transfer files in one of five ways, using WebSphere MQ, FTP, SFTP, SCP, or HTTP.
MQWhat is a tool for documenting which MQ components are installed and active on a particular server. Since MQ component information is contained in various files and/or output by MQ programs, MQWhat is designed to collect and summarize the MQ information and present the information to the user's screen in a concise manner.
The Message Router (MRTR) application will move a message from a central WebSphere MQ queue to a specific application WebSphere MQ queue. The destination queue that the message will be placed into will be based on a keyword in the message. Context information is maintained. MRTR will look in the message for a Start Keyword and an End Keyword. The value between these two keywords is the Keyword Value (inifile Token). MRTR will search its ini file for that particular Keyword Value. The field value associated with the looked-up keyword value is the destination queue name. MRTR performs each MQGET and the subsequent MQPUT under a Unit of Work (UOW) so that message integrity is kept.
The Message Multiplexer (MMX) application will get a message from a WebSphere MQ queue and output it to one or more queues. Context information is maintained across the message put(s). MMX can move messages from a single source queue to (up to) 99 target queues. Messages put to each target queue are an exact replicate of the original message from the source queue (including the message's MQMD). MMX performs each MQGET and the subsequent "n" MQPUT(s) under a Unit of Work (UOW), so that message integrity is kept.
Ametys is a powerful Web CMS used by many institutions of higher education and government, but also industries and SMEs. It is known for its ergonomic design which promotes ease of use, its social Web functionality, and the ability to manage a large number of users. It makes content publishing accessible for the non-programmer and provides an easy editorial interface very similar to Microsoft Office applications.
Puppet lets you centrally manage every important aspect of your system using a cross-platform specification language that manages all the separate elements normally aggregated in different files, including users, cron jobs, and hosts, along with obviously discrete elements like packages, services, and files. Its simple declarative specification language provides powerful classing abilities for drawing out the similarities between hosts while allowing them to be as specific as necessary, and it handles dependency and prerequisite relationships between objects clearly and explicitly.
The Exquisite `df' (xdf) is a souped-up version of df(1) rewritten from scratch and focused on flexibility of field selection and output format. It offers HTML and CSV outputs, besides the traditional text-based console output. It is fit for system administrators who are tired of post-processing df(1) output through shell or Perl scripts in order to avoid broken lines or to get a simple total/summary line.
RepoGuard is an advanced validation framework with built-in integrations for several common version control systems. The integration is carried out by utilizing the hook mechanisms each version control system provides. The user may provide configurations that are processed through inversion of control mechanisms. RepoGuard is completely written in the Python programming language, which allows for easy integration of other tools. An extensible command line tool for advanced usage is provided, which allows for comfortable administration.

Check out these five interesting tidbits about Minkoff and her brand:
1. Minkoff achieved one of her earliest fashion industry triumphs in 2001, when she designed a unique "I love New York" t-shirt that ended up on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and in Us Weekly. She spent the next few years sewing these tees in her New York apartment.

Low Carbs for Just Two Days a Week Spurs Weight LossPosted: Tuesday, December 20, 2011
Adhering to a strict, low-carbohydrate diet two days per week led to greater reductions in weight and insulin levels when compared with standard daily dieting.
British researchers found that women who essentially gave up carbs for two days and ate normally the rest of the time dropped about 9 pounds on average, as compared to the 5 pounds lost by women who cut back to around 1,500 calories every day, according to a new report presented at the CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.
The study's lead author Michelle Harvie, a research dietician at the Genesis Prevention Center at the University Hospital in South Manchester, England stated that, "We came up with the idea of an intermittent low-carb diet because it enables people to still have foods that are very satiating." "Also, there's a lot of evidence from other studies showing that restricting carbohydrates has the same effect as restricting energy."
Harvie and her colleagues were spurred to find a diet that would be easier for women to follow because research has shown that obesity and the changes it causes in the body increase the risk for breast cancer. "We know from our research in animal models that losing weight has the potential for reducing breast cancer risk," Harvie said.
The researchers followed 88 women for four months. All the women were at high risk for breast cancer based on their family histories. One third of the women were put on a Mediterranean-type diet that restricted calories to about 1,500 per day. A second group was told to eat normally most of the time, but two days a week to cut carbs and also calories to about 650 on those two days. The third group was also to cut carbs two days a week, but there was no calorie restriction on those days.
At the end of four weeks women in both of the intermittent dieting groups had lost more weight -- about 9 pounds -- than the women who ate low calorie meals every day of the week -- about 5 pounds.
Women in the intermittent dieting groups also had better improvement than daily dieters in the levels of hormones -- insulin and leptin -- that have been linked with breast cancer risk, Harvie said. And, yes, this is something you can try at home, Harvie said. You just need to dramatically cut back carbohydrates two days a week and try to eat sensibly the rest of the time, she added.
What that means, Harvie said, is that you can eat protein and healthy fats on the two low carb days, but skip bread, pasta, root vegetables like potatoes, carrots and parsnips to get to the 50g limit. The diet allows for one piece of fruit on the low carb days. Other foods on the menu include: nuts and green, leafy vegetables, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, broccoli, eggplant and cauliflower.

Welcome! The purpose of this journal is to offer reflections by the Aquinas Institute community on theological, spiritual and ministerial topics that have contemporary relevance in the Church, our society and throughout the world. The title refers both to the ongoing important contribution that Aquinas Institute of Theology makes to the intellectual life of the Church-we believe that what AI stands for and offers to others matters-and to reflections regarding what matters to Christian believers today.

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
In a few weeks Israel will be celebrating the joyous holiday of Purim. One of the main activities of this celebration is the sending of Mishloach Manot (Gift Baskets) from family to family. This holiday is one that is especially memorable for children. They will dress up in costume and participate in street parades.
Unfortunately, there are many children whose parents cannot afford to involve their children in this festive time as a result of their economic circumstances. Many children rely on basic nourishment at after school centers, where they congregate in the afternoons.
Israel Today has been committed for many years to ensuring a quality life for all Israeli children. This year, as in previous years, we will be concentrating our efforts to help children from needy families to enable them to enjoy this time of the year.
Through the generosity of our subscribers and readers of the magazine, Israel Today will be able to:

The 737 MAX optimizes the market-leading strengths of the highly successful Next-Generation 737 to assure operators of competitive success far into the future.
The advanced-design Next-Generation 737 is the most cost-efficient, reliable and capable single-aisle airplane, featuring a dramatically elevated passenger experience thanks to the new Boeing Sky Interior.
The New 747-8 Intercontinental features the newest wing and engine design of any large commercial jet in-service today and has a new Dreamliner-inspired interior making it a destination all its own. The Intercontinental can carry more passengers for a longer distance while being cleaner, quieter, and more fuel-efficient than any previous 747.
The 767 family has the lowest operating cost per trip of any widebody airplane. This low operating cost, combined with a choice of three sizes, variable range capability, almost universal airport compatibility and ETOPS capability, makes the 767 a versatile family of airplanes.
Nine out of the top ten airlines fly new generation 777s. To fly the 777 is to be a part of an elite group of airlines. It is a level of status that does not come easily but should be celebrated and recognized when achieved . For many airlines the 777 is not only the backbone and workhorse of their long haul fleet but it is also the global flagship for their brand.
The 777X is Boeing's newest family of twin-aisle airplanes that builds on the passenger-preferred and market-leading 777 and 787 families. The Boeing 777X will deliver unmatched performance, exceptional profitability and industry leading reliability. The family includes the 777-8X and the 777-9X — both designed to respond to market needs and customer preferences.
The 787 Dreamliner applies breakthrough technologies to an all-new airplane design. The advanced features of the 787 increase efficiency, simplify airplane ownership and operation, and significantly improve the air travel experience.

Both Sides of the Fence
A Tosa resident since 1991, Christine walks the dog, cooks but avoids housework, writes and reads, and enjoys the company of friends and strangers. Her job takes her around the state, learning about people's health. A Quaker (no, they don't wear blue hats or sell oatmeal or motor oil), she has been known to stand on both sides of the political and philosophic fence at the same time, which is very uncomfortable when you think about it. She writes about pretty much whatever stops in to visit her busy mind at the moment. One reader described her as "incredibly opinionated but not judgmental." That sounds like a good thing to strive for!
Wild Babies Expeditionary Academy
On colder days, about the only people you encounter on the streets of western Wauwatosa are Hearty Old Broads (HOBs) Out Walking Dogs (OWDs), along with an occasional younger or male counterpart.
But seldom is a child to be seen. Most snowmen have the look of parent-built models, especially the impressive Easter Island jobs lined up on 119th Street.
Abortion, Super Bowl, and marketing; truth or entertainment?
It's not the Budweiser frogs but abortion that's generating the most buzz about Super Bowl Sunday ads this year. Focus on the Family produced a 30 second spot about Pam Tebow, mother of former college quarterback Tim Tebow, and her decision not to have an abortion.
The message: if you decide to have that baby, everything will be fine: he'll be a strong, handsome, successful guy, and you can ride the story to glory in support of a cause you believe in.
That's a snarky and slanted interpretation, of course. Still, like most snark, there's truth in it. Feminist and other groups tried unsuccessfully to get the antiabortion ad pulled, claiming it's misleading, controversial, and maybe not quite true.
Some choices are easy, but others are not. The choice to have an abortion is not often easy, but the choice about running this ad is. Of course it should run.
The way to deal with difficult issues in the media isn't to prevent people from telling and hearing their stories. It's to make sure the stories presented are free of lies, errors, and deliberate misleadings. They can still attempt to persuade you.
Tebow's story (as I interpret it) is that she was pregnant, in the Phillipines, and taking medication for a serious illness. The medication was known to have the ability to alter fetal cells in a way that would or could harm the fetus. Her doctor suggested an abortion, and she refused.
I know how she felt. In late 1989, I was pregnant with twins. My doctor made the same recommendation to me. Only in my case, the suggestion was to abort one of the twins. The reason? A prenatal genetic test, the alpha-fetoprotein test (AFP), suggested that one twin might have Down Syndrome.
I had told the doctor no genetic testing because I wasn't going to do anything with the results if they were negative. And I especially did not want the AFP test, which I knew had a high incidence of false negatives. This was my last chance to have a baby and I'd worked hard to get pregnant.
How's that mockey, snarky stuff working for ya, Sarah?
If you're a woman and you call anything about Sarah Palin into question, be prepared for the assault. It's always the same: "you're jealous because she's younger better looking successful happily married smarter yadda yadda yadda."
And if you raise the question I raised in the headline, how's that mockey, snarky stuff working for ya, Sarah, the answer is pretty darn well, thank you.
In her speech to the Tea Party conventioneers last night, Palin delighted the crowd by jabbing at the President and anybody else on the purported left. The jeer that will live longest in the minds of her fans? "How's that hopey, changey stuff working for ya?" Already, you can buy the tee-shirt.
Let's face it: we don't listen to Palin. We react to her. The same tone and triggers that thrill her supporters annoy the ones she slams.
That's exactly what's intended, of course.
I've been struggling to understand why this energetic, attractive woman bothers me so much. Last night I figured it out. Her speeches are half popular-girl-running-for-student council-cheerleading. That part's fine. But the other half is mocking-bully-girl-rabble-rousing.
Bottom line: it's disrespectful. I don't remember George Bush being disrespectful of his opponents in speeches. Strong, adversarial. But not mocking. I don't remember Ronald Reagan, whose name Palin invoked repeatedly, being disrespectful of his opponents. Strong, adversarial. Humorous, even. But not mocking.
It's also unfortunate. Though most of Palin's emotionally-targeted speech was intellectually vague, she had some valid and important points to make about transparency, about the failures of the Democratic senate, about the bailouts. But those points were never developed.
And her flip and snide presentation assured that no one who really needed to hear them would.
Today in Quaker meeting (what we call our services), a man rose and spoke of being careful with our speech. Everything we say should come from a spirit of love, he said. "When we talk to one another, we are saying 'you matter enough for me to put my love into words.' And then the love transforms the words."
Some things are just too important to leave up to the middle school cafeteria gang. If Sarah Palin wants to begin to fill the considerable promise that she holds, she'll have to get a little of that strong-but-respecty-transformy thing going on. And so will the gang that eggs her on.
A sense of proportion and history
I love old houses, their surprises and unpredictability. Of course, when that unpredictability has to do with plumbing or electricity, the charm fades. Still, there's something about adapting to a house built in another time that ties you to the stories that went before. It gives you context.
Two WauwatosaNow stories make me think other Tosans have some of that same sense.
The first is the plan of Mo's Irish Pub to move the modest ranch houses on the lots it bought for expansion. These are not houses that make people swoon with envy. They're ordinary houses of the kind in which many of us grew up or raised our children.
Kudos to the neighbors for objecting to the wastefulness of demolishing a perfectly good house, and kudos to owner Johnny Vassallo for respecting their wishes, for going the extra mile.
Sometimes I walk in Elm Grove, and I've been astonished to see fine houses being obliterated to make way for grand houses. A few years ago, the daughter of Clark Oil's Emory Clark tore down his "dated ranch" and replaced it with a 12,000 square foot mansion with 14 bathrooms, a theater, and more. One visitor exclaimed "I feel like I'm in The Great Gatsby."
Of course people can do what they want with their land, within code regulations. But I can't help wondering about what drives the need to replace the good with the grand. Or what it feels like for a single woman, rattling around in that much space.
I like a little more cozy, myself.
And as I said, I like old houses. Even ranches. I'm going to stop calling mine that, though, and call it "mid century" when I put it on the market in spring. That gives it a little more context and panache.
The other story is about turning Wauwatosa Avenue into a historic district. The Historic Preservation Commission is working on that designation for the wonderful houses between Watson and Warren avenues. Most of those houses are big enough to hold our dreams and more than enough possessions. And they delight the eye. They were built with an architectural sense of proportion that's largely lost in the era of builder-designed McMansions.
It's a great idea. It would be a shame to lose those places with individual charm and character, with stories about our past, to something more – but less. Gatsby might have a thing or two to teach about that.
Truck, the movie
It would make a great movie.
The newer kid on the block, Oshkosh Corp. (henceforward known as "Truck") wins a dream contract, some $3.2 billion over 5 years to build the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTVs) armored trucks for the front lines in Afghanistan.
(Pan in on huge tanky vehicles roaring through sand and water.)
It wins the contract fair and square by underbidding the 17-year exisiting contract holder, BAE Systems, and another favored defense contractor, Navistar.
The older, more comfortable, connected-to-the-establishment BAE pretends to be a lil' ol' good ol' boy from Sealy, Texas, but really is a hoity-toity posh Britisher. And it does not like this one little bit.
Oshkosh Corp: The book, not the movie
The triumph of Oshkosh Corporation (Truck) in winning a big defense contract away from BAE Systems in Texas is satisfying on all sorts of levels. We cheer the local team, the Davids when they take on Goliath. Our ideas about how competition works are satisfied when the low bidder gets the job-and when he's our guy.
So what's not to like about $3.2 billion and the good it can bring to our neighbors up Highway 41?
Our gain is someone else's loss. We're not talking about a net gain in jobs creation as much as a shift. Whatever positive employment and economic impact the contract will have in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, chances are the negative impact on the good people of Sealy, Texas, is greater. I've seen mention of creating 800 jobs at Truck, a number that seems inflated. And not all of them will be in Wisconsin. But 3,000 jobs may be lost in Sealy, a town of less than 6,000 souls where the only other major employer, with 800 employees, is Walmart.
To gear up for increased business, the state of Wisconsin and the city of Oshkosh are anteing up a considerable chunk of money, some $40 million to Truck's $11 million. The money is going into bricks and mortar and tools, strictly physical stuff held (and eventually owned) by the business. It's money not spent on schools, health, or community infrastructure.
If all goes well, Truck will continue to provide jobs and paychecks, make purchases from local businesses, and generally feed the economy. Everyone will live happily for as long as it works that way.
However, the overall benefit to the community is a little fuzzier than it appears at first glance.
The Oshkosh city monies come from creating a Tax Incremental Fund (TIF). The existing business will be taxed as it has been. But revenue generated from the new TIF development will not be added to the general tax funds during the 5 year period of the $3 billion contract—or for another 20 years after it ends. Instead, it goes to repay the development bonds. So while the need for schools, sewers, public safety, and the rest of services a community needs to stay strong and function well increase with the development, the funds to support them don't.
If you're a private property owner near the new TIF district, the value of your property will increase along with theirs. Your taxes will increase.
If anything goes wrong, the taxpayers hold the bag. That may not seem like a major concern, given Truck's recent history. It may be an extremely good investment. But the $3.2 billion lowball bid sliced the profit margin very close to the bone. Moody's recently upgraded Oshkosh Corps' corporate family rating and probability of default rating from B2 to B1—but that's still a junk status rating.
TIF instruments were created as a way to pay for projects for the public benefit where private funding wasn't available. More recently, they've been used for shopping malls and other questionable "public interest" projects. It would be prudent for citizens to ask some thoughtful questions about the Oshkosh Corporation as a public good.
Sealy, Texas, is learning the hard way how dangerous it is to be a one-big-industry town. Is Truck on the verge of being the business too big to fail in Oshkosh? With 62,000 people, Oshkosh is a more economically diverse community. But there's only so much Miles Kimball business to rely on for sustainablity. A strong community might want to put eggs in several baskets.
Then there's the elephant in the room: the war economy. How long will the military need armored trucks for Afghanistan—or for the next place to which the endless war front shifts?
Little children, local heroes
If you asked the twins the worst thing about me, they'd say "she doesn't remember our birthday."
Like so much child mythology, of course, this isn't true. But one year, 1997, I was attending a conference in Boston on their birthday, meeting one of my heroes. I'd sent treats to school. Their dad was with them. Grandma hosted a fine birthday party, with duck and schaum torte (I swear to you, their favorite meal even then). But to this day, every spring, they roll their eyes and look pitifully at me and ask if I'm going to stick around for the event.
The hero I met was Robert Coles, child psychiatrist and the author of The Moral Lives of Children. For years, he and his wife had studied children in crises, exploring the effects of the events of their lives, their fragility and their strengths.
Coles talked that day about Ruby Bridges, the 6-year-old girl who, flanked by armed United States marshals, integrated Franz Elementary School in New Orleans for the first time.
Glenn Beck, Jennifer Love Hewitt's butt, and crime in Wauwatosa
I lured you here under false pretenses--my own little SEO (search engine optimization) experiment. Just goes to show: you can't trust the media, and especially you can't trust the blogosphere. Or something.
Anyway, a poem for today, February 22.
Butterflies and buildings on the Community Development docket tonight (2/23/10)
It's a little slower moving than the kind of action theater we've grown use to, but community government meetings are the best act in town for the patient.
Okay. It's a lot slower. But it's good stuff.
And what happened at the meeting?
It was hot in Meeting Room #1 Tuesday night. Hot and crowded. Of course, whenever The Butterflies or The County Grounds are on the agenda, you can count on a full house. Why the meeting wasn't scheduled in the larger council chambers is a mystery, but then so many things are at these events.
The mayor's request for council endorsement of the butterfly habitat restoration plan was discussed but not acted upon. For one thing, it was a Community Development Committee meeting, and I am thinking that the committee can recommend the full council endorse but no more. In any event, there was a great deal of confusion about exactly what an endorsement at this time might mean.

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute tested leading lawn sprinklers and this model earned The Best rating because it watered the largest area and was the easiest to use. The Best Garden And Lawn Sprinkler's spray covered up to 1,920' sq., 228 more square feet than other models. The spray length adjusts from 10' to 62', 12' longer than lesser sprinklers, and two slide switches quickly adjust the oscillation and the spray width from 13' to 56', allowing users to avoid watering driveways or patios. The Best model was the easiest to connect, thanks to a specially designed adapter that attaches to a hose and simply plugs into the sprinkler, eliminating tedious twisting. Made in Germany, The Best model has a built-in mechanical timer that automatically turns the sprinkler off after five minutes to two hours of watering and it did not suffer any damage when dropped repeatedly. 24 1/2" L x 6 1/4" W x 4 3/4" H. (2 1/4 lbs.)
