Statewide, Gov. Andrew Cuomo got what he wanted: He secured the Democratic nomination, he's running for re-election with Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul and Letitia James is the attorney general nominee.
But locally, progressives were able to notch key victories in the state Senate, where six of eight former members of the now-dissolved Independent Democratic Conference went down to defeat and Sen. Martin Dilan, viewed as a representative of the Brooklyn Democratic machine, also lost.
That many incumbents in the state Legislature losing their primaries in one year isn't just unusual or rare, it's unheard of — a potential harbinger of what's to come for the November the elections and a sign the Democratic base in New York is especially restive.
Sens. Jose Peralta, Tony Avella, Jesse Hamilton, Marisol Alcantara, Jeff Klein and David Valesky all lost — results that could reshape the state Senate and usher in a more confidently liberal Democratic conference that hopes to take the majority this fall.
Another rarity: Turnout was up.
The IDC had dissolved itself in April under a push by Cuomo, who had faced liberal pressure to help his party gain control of the Senate. The conference had been aligned with Republicans in the chamber since 2011, even going as far as to have a majority coalition with the Senate GOP for the 2013-2014 legislative session.
For progressive foes of the IDC, it's a rejection of how Albany was functioning.
"New York politics changed forever tonight," said Bill Lipton, the state director of the Working Families Party. "The IDC is dead. The center of gravity has shifted, and Andrew Cuomo will face a radically different Albany. For years, Cuomo, the IDC and the Republicans led a government which blocked countless progressive policies."
Lipton was on hand for the WFP's party in Flatbush Thursday night. It was a relatively subdued evening as it became apparent the ticket led by Cynthia Nixon would lose. But things picked up when the former IDC lawmakers began to fall behind. The excitement built evening further when Alessandra Biaggi was named the winner of her primary over Klein, the former IDC leader.
Nixon's concession speech dwelled heavily on the Senate shakeup.
"Your victories tonight have shown that the blue wave is real and that is not only coming for Republicans, it is coming for Democrats who act like them," she said.
But the biggest target for the left, Cuomo, took a step closer to a third term, boosting turnout and, percentage-wise, largely replicating his primary four years ago against Teachout, just with more votes.
Nixon insisted things will change for Cuomo next year, as the freshman lawmakers will want new approaches on rent control, housing and health care, including a single payer bill.
"Because in 2018, progressive rhetoric is not enough," Nixon said. "People are struggling to survive here. And we need real, substantive policies that address racial, gender and economic inequality in New York state."

As a quiet person, I am not likely to intrude when I run across egregious wrongs. Most often I let dastardly deeds go without
comment. Someday, I hope, I will overcome this character defect and stand up in opposition to wrongdoers.
Let me give you some examples. Last week, at an open-air concert by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra in Danville, I did not confront the parents of children who were swinging lighted batons. Here we have a respectful audience listening attentively to a delightful program and in the center of the seating area are distracting lights disturbing the scene, distracting our senses from the music.
What should a responsible citizen do? The proper action would be to go over to the children, disarm them, and then punch the male parent in the nose after kicking the female parent in the shins. I, however, stayed in my chair and failed to apply corrective action to this inappropriate activity. Needless to say, I am ashamed of my reluctance to act on behalf of mankind in the face of uncivilized behavior.
This was not the first time I have encountered such problems. Several weeks ago the family whose property is back-to-back with ours had a swim party for their teenage children and their guests. The screaming, shrieking and shouting were beyond what any normal citizen might tolerate. As the party went on past 10 p.m., I went around the corner to confront the malefactors.
My manner was easily interpreted as belligerent. But any aggressiveness on my part was merely a disguise for my trepidation. I might get punched in the nose and kicked in the shins for my efforts. After my brief confrontation with the parents of the household, the teens were quieted but I was more disturbed than before.
These two middle-class, well-spoken adults had asserted that I had no right to tell them how to raise their children. In effect, my complaint was seen as an intrusion rather than a plea for civilized, responsible behavior. I was appalled that they did not see that we all have a responsibility to challenge behaviors that harm others.
The cult of individualism, the anarchical call for unbounded liberty destroys civilization. We hear that call from parents in our schools and executives in our businesses. Successful societies require constraints on the behaviors of individuals and institutions when the actions of one or a few threaten the liberties of others. Those constraints may be voiced in the tales we read to our children or they may be embodied in law, but they are the foundation of healthy families and communities.
The current economic crisis can be traced to the failure of individuals to consider the consequences of their actions for the well-being of others. Some call that greed. We have an entire cadre of those who worship "the market" without appreciating the necessary preconditions of competition. Among those preconditions is the presence of many buyers and sellers, none having significant power to influence price.
When we have giant oil companies, enormous entangled financial institutions and unproductive health care insurers and providers, we do not have reason to bend the knee to "the market." When we cannot rely on parents to constrain the antisocial behavior of their children, we must look for guidance elsewhere.
Some say religion once provided a moral code that could guide the behavior of businesses and families. Yet today's church is fragmented and increasingly in the hands of self-glorifying preachers and their congregants who are alienated from society at large.
We cannot expect much help from government because elected officials too often consider themselves among the "elect," destined to rule rather than respect their constituents. My hope is that you will (figuratively) punch noses and kick shins, that you will complain about and disgrace those who behave without concern for the welfare of others. That is, after we each mend our own ways.•

Please Help Me Identify these Damaged iPhone 5 Board Components
Hello, sorry for the long post, but I wanted to be as helpful/detailed as possible about the symptoms elicited. If you aren't up for reading this, the photo basically tells the whole story =P.
______________________ How I Messed It Up:
While disassembling my past-warranty Verizon Iphone 5 (model A1429), I regrettably appear to have damaged 4-6 of what i believe at extremely tiny... capacitors?, right between the battery port on the motherboard and the screw hole to its right. I believe I crushed 1-2 with my screw driver, and damaged a few more by using too hot a soldering iron to remove the debris... (I know - brilliant, right?). I removed most (4/6) of these busted components, because there were definitely beyond repair, but a couple I left are at least somewhat damaged, so I think all 6 will require replacement. I'm not really sure if they are resistors, capacitors, or fuses, but they melt very easily, and are filled with a white substance... so will need to install the new ones at low temp - might use a cold-solder epoxy...
Before figuring out what I had done, I did take the phone apart a few times (progressively further damaging this area in the process). Initially, I had JUST lost the mic for non-speakerphone calls and voice-notes.
Before I took a look with good magnification, it was working fine other than that mic, so I replaced the lower microphone / headphone / lightning wire port insert (which didn't help). The replacement mic made no difference. Upon further messing around, I eventually lost the screen picture (it flashed vertical lines and then went black) and it was not recoverable. I then tried replacing the screen, which also didn't help, so I finally realized it must be the logic board, and pulled out my low power microscope. The attached photo shows where on the board I am talking about (on left) my board (in center) and a picture of a functional iphone 5 logic board I found online, on which I circled the components I damaged in red.
What I'm Hoping you Guys Can Help With:
They all looked the same at 20x, as can be seen in the photo. I think I'm capable of replacing them, (either by heat gun with low temp solder, a low temp iron with a needle point, or conductive epoxy).
But, I need to know what they are, and where I can get others (I guess I might have to buy a water damaged $20 board on ebay? and try to desolder them from it?). I did cause a little spark once before removing the battery, but *think* nothing else is damaged (carefully removed the metal covers and inspecting things). I know fixing it is probably a longshot, but really want to try (and frankly can't afford replacing it for >$100, or paying someone to for the same). If nothing else, and despite all odds I really want to try to do this myself, if for learning from it alone. I know I could buy a new board If i had the money, or pay apple to do an out of warrantee replacement, but I would REALLY appreciate your help in letting me try to do it myself - I know I f'ed up and was stupidly reckless. But, I have learned a hard lesson in regards to how exceptionally delicate phone logic boards are. Please let me know if I might provide any other helpful info!!
EDIT: ooh, one more thing (don't know if it will help) I used a multimeter to determine that there is power (4-5.4V or so depending on the exact pins, going to the motherboard from the charging port at the bottom of the phone, but despite this, no voltage (at all) gets from that part of the board, to the battery port just below it. Obviously, and as is visible in the photo, the circuit is currently broken without these components, but I'm guessing I can't just short them out, or they wouldn't have been there in the first place.
EDIT #2 (2/16/15): Finally got around to trying to solder this thing, and, due to it being very difficult, was wondering if conductive epoxy would work? to be clear - something like this: http://www.amazon.com/0-2ML-Silver-Condu...
NOT just normal epoxy.
THoughts? I worry about any potential effects of increased resistivity, compared to normal solder? Thanks!
I think the product you are referring to will not work like a glue to hold the components in place, and they may get knocked off very easily.
Rany is absolutely correct. That is the trouble with 1005 sized components. They do require special tools and skills to be soldered on. Epoxy is not the way to fix it:-)
thanks guys! will keep trying via hot air / a filed down soldering iron then.
try using solder paste instead of solder if you are using a hot air station
No no no don't do it! Too much exposed ground. Order some conformal coating and cover up all your spots where the solder mask is removed!

COBWEB CORNERS: Traveling shows
By Mel McFarland
In those days before instant entertainment, there was a mode of entertainment and information that to a certain extent is still quite alive. The railroad was the most common mode to transport these traveling shows. Some of them we can see on cable TV today, and not all are thought of as bad.
Indeed, there were a dozen or so traveling churches bringing religion to the tiny villages all over the West. They were sponsored by the larger churches in the country - Catholic, Baptist, Methodist, and so on - and they followed a regular route. Their cars often looked like ordinary railroad cars, but at least one carried a portable steeple, and others folded down for shipping. The Baptist and Methodist cars even stopped at the Colorado City Rio Grande depot. It was not out of the ordinary for these cars to remain on a siding long enough to attract a regular following, even the start of a regular church.
The circus troupes traveled in their own trains, comprised of dozens of cars and all the necessary equipment. There were also traveling carnivals and medicine shows. Like the church cars, they could be seen parked near a station for a week or a day. But the cars looked different, more like baggage cars, with brilliantly colored murals covering their sides.
Here is one about taking success another step. The John A. Salzer Seed Company of LaCrosse, Wisconsin, thought it was missing a great bet. Back in 1896, the company's seed show was traveling to Cripple Creek, and it paused here for a day or two. The idea was to introduce the populace to the value of the company's varieties of hardy seeds. Most of the seeds were available right on the railroad car, but a few had to be ordered for delivery at the best time to plant. Most of the Salzer seeds were for vegetables, but wheat and even various flowers were also available. One wonders how many were willing to trying high-altitude gardening. I cannot say I have heard of a revisit of the show!

QUESTION: At which race does the fastest horse come second?
Answer: At the 2008 Melbourne Cup.
Connections of cup runner-up Bauer were stunned to learn that he travelled the two miles at Flemington in a quicker time than winner Viewed — only to lose the race by the flare of a nostril.
The two horses flashed past the post together on Tuesday and were separated only after stewards studied a high-resolution image that showed Bart Cummings' runner just millimetres ahead on the line.
But the official timings told a different story. According to microchips inserted into the saddle cloths on all the gallopers, Bauer travelled the course in 3 minutes, 20.40 seconds — with Viewed one hundredth of a second behind.
The times recorded are accurate, with the microchips sending a signal to a cable placed under the track at 200-metre intervals.
"The difference came about because the timing devices are in the saddles, whereas the judges decide who has won the race by which horse's head crosses the line first: sadly our guy is a bit smaller than Viewed," explained Simon O'Donnell, one of Bauer's owners.
While Bauer stands at a diminutive 15 hands 3 inches, which means he is 1.6 metres from the ground to his withers, Viewed is 16 hands. "In racing they say millimetres can mean millions and I guess what happened to Bauer proves it," said O'Donnell, a former Australian cricketer.
The difference was $2,465,000, with prize money of $3.3 million for the winner and $835,000 for second.
"But … we were all delighted with the way he ran and it was a massive thrill to get so close," O'Donnell said.
When told of the anomaly yesterday, 81-year-old Cummings, who claimed his 12th cup with Viewed's victory, said: "Oh, that's all too technical for me."
Francesca Cumani, who oversaw Bauer's preparation following his arrival from England five weeks ago, was philosophical. "I guess if we come back next year we'll have to bring horses with long necks and big heads," she joked.
The official time of the race will now be recorded as Viewed's.
A similar case arose at the 1988 cup, when Natski, a small bay, was pipped by New Zealand giant Empire Rose. The photo finish showed Natski's rump ahead of Empire Rose's, but the mare's long neck got her over the line.
Tuesday's result could at least bring a new variant on an old joke.
A horse walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Why the long face?" Answer: To win the Melbourne Cup.

LiveScience debunks the top 5 myths about girls, math, and science:
The days of sexist science teachers and Barbies chirping that "math class is tough!" are over, according to pop culture, but a government program aimed at bringing more women and girls into science, technology, engineering and math fields suggests otherwise.
Below are five myths about girls and science that still endure, according to the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Research on Gender in Science and Engineering (GSE) program:
Myth 1: From the time they start school, most girls are less interested in science than boys are.
Reality: In elementary school about as many girls as boys have positive attitudes toward science. A recent study of fourth graders showed that 66 percent of girls and 68 percent of boys reported liking science. But something else starts happening in elementary school. By second grade, when students (both boys and girls) are asked to draw a scientist, most portray a white male in a lab coat. Any woman scientist they draw looks severe and not very happy. The persistence of the stereotypes start to turn girls off, and by eighth grade, boys are twice as interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) careers as girls are. The female attrition continues throughout high school, college and even the work force. Women with STEM higher education degrees are twice as likely to leave a scientific or engineering job as men with comparable STEM degrees.

No Sympathy for GM, Ford, Chrysler
Not a lot of sympathy today for the Big Three auto industry executives who flew to Washington on their private jets to ask Congress for tons of money to save their industry.
Dana Milbank, in his Washington Sketch, called it "a display of stone-cold tone-deafness by the automaker chiefs." Almost all of Our Readers Who Comment agree, although a number express sympathy for the real people who are certain to lose jobs no matter how the auto industry saga shakes out.
I haven't seen such unanimity in a long time. Maybe we are coming together.
We'll start with newamba_flamingo, who wrote, "...After years of making gas guzzlers and torturing the environment, let these fools go broke! Oh, wait, it won't be them going broke, it'll be some poor schmuck on the assembly line!! Thanks free market!..."
dobiaslaw suggested that "The only thing that will save Detroit is to retool and start building mass transit systems and components. It ain't a B-24 but when the existential threat is from within, it's still a war."
ric262002 wrote, "These guys have the nerve, ask for money when they dwell in luxury. I think they are more concerned about their personal state of pampering than protecting their self proclaimed successful automobile companies."
EliPeyton asked, "How many of the "business travelers" in the entire country could accomplish the goal of their trip via e-mail, phone conference, or video conference? The whole country is pampered, and much of business travel is unnecessary."
But washingtonpostmassysett, who's obviously dealt with commercial airlines recently, said, "If I were a stockholder in a billion dollar multinational corporation, I would not want my CEO spending his time in airports, sitting on tarmac during flight delays, getting his luggage lost, and waiting in airport security lines and removing the liquids from his bags. He should be flying on the corporate jet."
magellan1 challenged the press in suggesting, "Did anyone ask how [UAW President] Ron Gettelfinger got to Washington? I would hope he flew commercial and sat in coach, but, you never know until the media checks into it."
VirginiaConservative said, "...it is amusing to see the members of the most corrupt, inefficient, wasteful, entity on earth presume to smugly judge Detroit. Hey members of congress, how big is YOUR deficit?..."
MorganaLeFay wrote, "A bankruptcy really is best. It would allow management to be cleaned out, salaries to be brought in line and legacy costs to be trimmed. A bail out simply allows the clowns to keep doing the same thing expecting a different result..."
ggwalt123 said, "I would love to see the American auto industry survive and thrive because so many American livelihoods depend on it. On the other hand, it's hard to be sympathetic to an industry that has been so grossly mismanaged... For years, foreign car companies have been building better performing, more reliable, more fuel efficient cars..."
timothy2me wrote, "These three are the cream of the Republican crop... When they fly in their planes they show us what trickle down economics is all about... Of course we need to blame the unions. After all, they demanded health care and pension plans. How arrogant of them."
kse1 asked, "...let's assume that every employee, and retiree, of the big three had cancer; let's further assume that everyone else who would loose their job if the big three went down also had cancer; would you deny all of them treatment just because the CEOs flew their private jets to a cancer center for treatment?"

I agree with wpmassyset that corporate jets are a necessity most of the time. But to come begging in not one but 3 separate jets shows a tone-deafness that is mind boggling. Sure boggled the Senate. I've always thought Hollywood, DC and the Vatican are the most insular and out-of-touch cities in the world. Looks like Detroit has joined the list.

"Golf is the closest game to the game we call life. You get bad breaks from good shots; you get good breaks from bad shots – but you have to play the game where it lies ." So claimed O.B. Keeler, the famed golf writer who, from 1916-1930, travelled over 120,000 miles covering the career of Bobby Jones. We do indeed play the game where it lies. Each day is different, even if the course remains the same, and the challenges are at once maddening and intoxicating. We play the game. It doesn't matter if frost covers the ground in winter, if rain water fills the cups on the greens in the spring, or if wind blows sand in our eyes after a bunker shot in the summer.
We just love to play. Walter Simpson, in his 1892 book The Art of Golf, seemed to understand the golfer's psyche. He wrote that the game "has some drawbacks. It is possible, by too much of it, to destroy the mind. " His admonition notwithstanding, true golfers rarely get enough of it. We know that if we keep plugging along and keep trying, sometimes good things come to us when we least expect them, just as in life.
Golf is a game with incredible staying power, having been played for over 500 years. Men and women; young and old; royalty and artisans; CEOs and taxi drivers; people with bad backs and creaky knees; amputees and the blind, all play it. A few even play from wheelchairs. What is it that draws people to golf and holds them in its grip until they are too old and feeble to play any longer? The reasons are many. The game engages both body and mind in a very particular way, and some might argue, the soul as well.
James Balfour, who began playing golf in Scotland in the 1840s, explained it this way in Reminiscences of Golf on St. Andrews Links:
It is a fine, open-air, athletic exercise, not violent, but bringing into play nearly all the muscles of the body…It is a game of skill, needing mind and thought and judgment, as well as a cunning hand. It is also a social game, where one may go out with a friend or with three, and enjoy mutual intercourse…It never palls or grows stale, as morning by morning the players appear at the teeing ground with as keen a relish as if they had never seen a club for a month.
It is a game requiring not only physical skill but the ability to control our emotions, as we try to beat our best scores each time out, as well as the scores of our friends who join us in the endeavor.
The game is different because the ball must wait for us. It isn't baseball or tennis where a ball comes towards us that we have to react to in a split second. The golf ball just lies there passively, sometimes seeming to taunt us. It's up to us to make it go. "There is no hurry," wrote John Low in Concerning Golf, "we fix our own time, we give ourselves every chance of success." It is this deliberate quality of the game which "makes it so testing to the nerves; for the very slowness which gives us opportunity for calculation draws our nerves out to the highest tension…"
Golf certainly can make our stomachs churn and scramble our brains. Mark Train famously described it as "a good walk spoiled." In the short space of the fifteen minutes or so it takes to play a hole, it's possible to experience a full gamut of emotions – you name it and it can be felt, in a million different combinations. Fear and trepidation of the opening tee shot, followed by joy and relief after a great drive nailed straight down the middle, then anger and consternation at the fat second shot plunked into the water, and ending with sadness and disappointment when we walk off the green with a triple-bogey. Herein is the great part of the golf's attraction .
People are also drawn to the game because it takes them into the great outdoors; to open spaces away from the office. Theodore Haultain discussed the tactile lure of the course, each with its own personality and varied terrain, in his book The Mystery of Golf . Speaking of the delights of the game in 1910, he described the varied elements that stimulate our senses:
The great breeze that greets you on the hill, the whiffs of air – pungent, penetrating – that come through green things growing, the hot smell of pines at noon, the wet smell of fallen leaves in autumn, the damp and heavy air of the valley at eve, the lungs full of oxygen, the sense of freedom on a great expanse, the exhilaration, the vastness, the buoyancy, the exaltation.
"We live in small spaces," wrote Henry Leach in The Happy Golfer, "with many walls and low roofs ." Away from the city, and its cacophony of angry noises that strangle silence, the golf course provides us with a few hours of refuge. Steaming asphalt and concrete, honking horns, and the incessant buzz and clatter of people coming and going gives way to a quiet oasis of cool grass, green trees, chirping birds and the smell of pine needles. "A golfer on the links is uplifted to a simpler, freer self," claimed Leach.
Michael Murphy, in his classic book Golf in the Kingdom, spoke of golf in terms of "walkin' fast across the countryside and feelin' the wind and watchin' the sun go down and seein' yer friends hit good shots and hittin' some yourself. It's love and it's feelin' the splendor o' this good world ." To David Forgan, who crafted "The Golfer's Creed" in the late nineteenth century, golf offers "a sweeping away of mental cobwebs, genuine recreation of tired tissues….It is a cure for care, an antidote to worry." As Balfour and Murphy point out, golf is also a social game, one we play with fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and friends in our Saturday foursome. We even play with strangers who join us on the first tee when we sneak out for a quick nine holes after work. The game allows time for conversation between shots. "How's the job going?" "How are the kids?" "What about that game last night?" "How's the new car?" There is also considerable time for thought directed at how we are succeeding – or failing – in getting the ball from the teeing ground to the hole, as we commiserate with each other around the course.
We may enjoy the park-like setting of the golf course, the competition, and the chit-chat, but the most intriguing element of the game is trying to hit that little damn ball where we want it to go. "Without doubt," wrote Hautlain, "the ball must be impelled by muscular movement; how to coordinate that muscular movement – that is the physiological factor in the fascination of golf ."
When one considers the physics involved, this is a daunting task. We apply about 32 pounds of muscles to swing a golf club almost four feet long in an arc of twenty feet around our body, while shoulders and hips turn, arms move up and down and five separate torques may act upon the club . All of this motion is focused on making contact with a ball 1.68 inches in diameter squarely in the center of a two inch square club face on a path that will propel the ball with sufficient force to send it the correct distance to the target.
The ball is in contact with the face of the club for half a thousandth of a second (as the club travels about three quarters of an inch), and the margins of error are incredibly slim. If the club face is open or closed just 2 or 3 degrees with a driver, the ball will fly 20 yards or more off line, depending on the speed of the swing . Sometimes just hitting the ball at all is a challenge, and a proper club/ball contact that sends the ball straight to our intended target seems a minor miracle. All of these gyrations are produced with one objective: to put that ball in a four and a quarter inch hole placed in the ground hundreds of yards away. All the while around we have to negotiate water hazards, bunkers, trees, and perhaps wind and rain – in addition to our own nerves and tempers.
Yet, in spite of these considerable challenges, on the occasions when things work, by design or divine intervention, and the ball is struck solidly online, it provides a palpable physical thrill. The feel of an iron crisply pinching the ball off the turf and whistling it to the green; the drive smacked right in the middle of the clubface and blasted down the fairway; the 40-foot putt stroked with perfect line and speed and rolled into the bottom of the hole. As the old golf adage goes, "one good shot keeps you coming back." All the rest, the ones topped in the water or sliced into the woods, are shoved aside, as we choose to revel in our modest successes. "I did it once," we say to ourselves. "I can surely do it again, even better." Our minds and muscles drive us, and our memories plug into feelings of how we did it right yesterday, a week ago, or ten years ago .
Pembroke Vaile, an intriguing and pensive man from the last century, wrote expressively on the "soul" of golf. Among its elusive elements, he claimed, is "the sheer beauty of the flight of the ball," and the almost "sensuous delight which comes to the man who created that beauty, and knows how and why he did it ." There is something intoxicating in the harmonically pure meeting of club and ball. Ben Hogan, one of the best to ever play the game, loved to practice and hit golf balls from sunup to sundown. He once said that the perfectly struck shot "goes from the ball, up the club's shaft, right to your heart ." This is the true essence of what has attracted people to the game for 500 years. For whether it's a hickory shafted club from the 1800s or a modern graphite shafted titanium driver, the player still has to execute the shot properly.
Golf is a game that has been called a microcosm of life, as every day offers a new set of challenges. To succeed you must work hard to develop your gifts, possess healthy doses of self-confidence and patience, and persevere when times get tough. Golf has been described as a "self-reliant, silent, sturdy," game, which "leans less on its fellows," and "loves best to overcome obstacles alone ." Success or failure depends on one person, ourselves. There are no teammates to help us out when things go wrong, and unlike baseball, we have to play our foul balls. To
excel at the highest levels, particular and rare talents are required. Not only physical skill, but a strong and resolved character is necessary in order to overcome the adversity that will undoubtedly come. As Charles Blair Macdonald, one of the founding fathers of American golf put it in 1898: "No game brings out more unerringly the true character of a man or teaches him a better lesson in self-control ."
The people in this book all possessed confidence in their abilities and were dogged in their pursuit of excellence. But without natural talent, they would never have been heard from. Each of us is born into this world with certain gifts, which, if fully exercised, lead us to the life path we are meant to follow. There are different kinds of gifts, and different kinds of work, but the same God works those gifts in all men and women. So says the Bible. To express our gifts and build a fulfilling life around them is the highest expression of our true essence.
These champions – all of whom, with the exception of caddy Bruce Edwards, are members of the World Golf Hall of Fame – came from different times and had different backgrounds, but they all shared a gift for the game of golf. This is what defined them, just as our gifts define us. Horton Smith, winner of two Masters Tournaments, claimed that "golfing genius strikes seldom. It is something that cannot be attained by practicing any more than a really great voice. It can be developed but before a man is a genius at golf, he must have within him a spark that is the gift of the Almighty ." Three-time British Open champion Bob Ferguson said over a century ago that nerve, enthusiasm, and practice are the three essentials to succeed in golf. But to be great requires the gift .
To be great requires the gift. It is this unique and branded gift that set the truly great above all the rest. The men in this book: Harry Vardon, Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Charlie Sifford, Ken Venturi, Bruce Edwards; and the lady, Babe Didrikson Zaharias, all had gifts they exercised freely and rigorously, never squandering them, even when circumstances might have forgiven them for fading away quietly. They never quit, even when things looked bleak. Bobby Jones claimed that golf "is the most rewarding of all games because it possesses a very definite value as a molder or developer of character." It was character which guided these people's lives and girded them against persistent struggles in the face of adversity that threatened their very lives.
Harry Vardon was at the peak of his game when struck down with tuberculosis, but he resolved to play on, winning two more British Opens, and acting as a mentor to promising new players; Bobby Jones was stricken with a rare and debilitating spinal disease that would confine him to a wheelchair when he was still a young man, but he kept building the Masters Tournament, writing about golf, and being an ambassador for the game; Ben Hogan nearly died in a car crash that permanently damaged his body and caused him chronic pain for the rest of his days, but he came back and won six more major championships, and built a company bearing his name.
Babe Didrikson Zaharias was struck down by colon cancer but wouldn't quit. She became a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society and was an inspiration to fellow sufferers, especially after winning another Women's U.S. Open before the cancer returned; Charlie Sifford was the victim of incessant racism which included harassment and death threats, but he never bowed, and was a winner at the highest levels of the game, paving the way for the likes of Tiger Woods.
Ken Venturi lost his game after a car accident and later to carpal tunnel syndrome, but would capture the U.S. Open in some of the most trying conditions the championship ever produced and later have a successful broadcasting career; Bruce Edwards was afflicted with ALS, or "Lou Gehrig's disease," but kept going and inspired people with his fight, carrying the bag for one final major victory with boss Tom Watson before succumbing to his illness. What kept them going? They all loved the game. It was what they did.
"However mean your life is, meet it and live it." These words of Henry David Thoreau could describe the lives of all the people in this book, who faced tremendous physical and emotional trials in their lives, yet persevered and overcame. The strength and resilience of the human spirit – indeed, its stubborn persistence – was a common denominator in facing their struggles. Golf can be a vexing and cruel game, and teaches us much about ourselves.
Golf has been described as "a contest, a duel, or a melee, calling for courage, skill, strategy and self-control. It is a test of temper, a trial of honor, a revealer of character." Jerome Travers, the great amateur of the early 20th century, believed the character of an individual is laid bare under "the microscope of golf influence. The good and bad qualities in our make-up are exposed to view under the spell which golf casts over man …" In the end, as with most of life, our success hinges on the character and spirit we possess.
How would our tempers be tested if we were struck down by a serious illness, a near-fatal accident, or some career-threatening injury from which we would never fully recover? How would our honor be preserved if we had people telling us we were washed-up, unwanted, and persona non-grata on the golf course?
How would our character be revealed if Lou Gehrig's disease robbed us of the ability to walk and talk?
How would we face the fear? Would we give in to self-pity, or persevere and keep going? Where would we find the strength to actually carry on with our careers with any measure of success?
The people in this book displayed their character vigorously by not giving up or giving in to the suffering that afflicted them. This is not a chronicle of the tournaments they won and lost, but an examination of how they applied their gifts and pushed themselves to achieve success. Champion golfers have been identified as sharing certain qualities; among them tough-mindedness, confidence, self-sufficiency , and emotional stability – all of which provide players with the armor to press on when things look hopeless. The very nature of the game prepares one for adversity, and rewards a persevering spirit that doesn't accept surrender without a fight. "It is merely a blessing," claimed Jerome Travers, "if our temperament is such that we are able to blind ourselves to the drudgery which usually goes with indomitable persistence and hard application " in overcoming obstacles.
The stories of these champions bear witness to their courage and discipline, but also to the love and support of family and friends who helped them. As Robert Tyre Jones, grandfather of Bobby Jones, claimed, "No man ever accomplishes anything really worthwhile alone. There are always two additional forces at work – other people and Providence ." Their families and friends bolstered them, but the game itself offered them refuge and therapy for both body and mind when they were suffering.
In recent years Golf Digest magazine has featured a series called "Golf Saved My Life," which focuses on this therapeutic side of the game. Whether the men and women telling their stories have struggled with cancer, autism, bipolar disorder, or serious injuries brought on by war or accidents, they all reveal how the game has helped give renewed purpose to their lives.
This theme is nothing new. In 1965 Golf Journal ran the story of a James Ranni, 62-years old at the time, who had suffered a major stroke years earlier. The neurosurgeon who saved his life was a golfer, and had come to see the game "as an additional therapeutic measure to help patients overcome serious handicaps and regain health that has been lost." As for Ranni, he claimed that when people spoke of "how close you can get to God on a golf course," he knew exactly what they meant. "I can't tell you how important it is to me to be an example of what golf can do in rehabilitating the disabled ."
The National Amputee Golf Association was formed in 1954 in response to World War II veterans returning home with missing limbs and wanting to get back into the game. It has followed the motto, "It's not what you've lost, but what you have left that counts." Bert Shepard, who lost his right leg in WWII, spoke to Golf World in 1997 of how people claimed he had "the guts to go out and play golf and all that. What about some credit to the game of golf? I've seen guys who never got out of the house get fascinated with golf, and it changes their lives ."
Thomas M'Auliffe is a wonderful example of doing his best with what he had left. In spite of losing both arms in a horrible accident when he was 9-years old, he learned to play golf. In 1915, the then 22-year old told his story to The Golf Monthly. By gripping the club between his cheek and shoulder, he was able to hit the ball 100 yards with a driver. With a "combined swing and jerk of the body and shoulder," the article explained, "he is able to give the ball a telling stroke," and it noted that he had shot 108 at the Buffalo Country Club. M'Auliffe was certainly a positive thinker. "I never permit the thought of my accident to take possession of my mind," he declared, "nor do I think of anything being impossible for me to overcome. When the time comes, I just go ahead as best I may, and somehow, someway, I generally get there without any great difficulties ."
A decade before Thomas M'Auliffe, there was the story of Old Tom Morris. His son Tommy, who like his father won four British Opens, died on Christmas Day 1875, three months after his wife and baby died during child birth. Old Tom would see his wife and all five of his children die before him, and he claimed that if not for his God and his golf, he would not have found the strength to go on . The game sustained him – he died in 1908 at the age of 86 – and played up until the end. The game was a soothing therapy for him and others, just as it would be for Vardon, Jones, Hogan, Zaharias, Sifford, Venturi, and Edwards.
Golf is a test, Arnold Hautlain claimed, "not so much of the muscle, or even of the brain and nerves of a man," as it is a test of his or her innermost self…
…of his soul and spirit; of his whole character and disposition; of his temperament; of his habit of mind; of the entire content of his mental and moral nature… it is a physiological, psychological, and moral fight with yourself; it is a test of mastery over self .
What is there to learn from the challenges these golfers faced and how they overcame them? Why should we care? Hautlain once again offers insight. "In a picture, a sonata, a statue – the color, the sound, the form assuredly may interest us," but these "are but vehicles for the artist's thought and emotion." He continues:
It is the artist's conception of life that is so interesting. So it is with sport. We like immensely to know exactly how a man boxes or fences or drives; but underneath this, we like immensely to know how he fights the battle of life; for he will do the one as he does the other – that we feel. [italics added] So there is a great kinship between artist and sportsman. Each reveals himself in his work; and it is in this self-revelation that humanity takes an absorbing interest.
The professionals play golf, while we play at it; they know they can succeed, we hope we can. For those who have the gift of golf, we wonder what it is that makes them special. This is especially true when they triumph over adversity that could just as well crush them. What are they really like? As a spectator once asked a reporter who was covering Babe Zaharias, "Is she tough?" "Is she nice?" "I'd sure like to know how she really is. I mean, how she really is ." We want to know about their lives, but are at the mercy of what they tell us, or want us to know.
We do our best to find out what they are really like? In the heat of battle, how do they react? How do they deal with victory and defeat, both on and off the course? These are questions this book attempts to shed new light on.
These individuals, with the exception of Mr. Sifford, have all passed away, but their struggles are as relevant today as ever. They were connected, in more than a casual way, to each other by the game. Consider Harry Vardon, the greatest player of his era, knew Old Tom Morris and played with Bobby Jones in the latter's first U.S. Open in 1920. He told reporters the young Jones would be one of the very best golfers ever seen, and was right. After Jones retired in 1930, he played an exhibition in Houston attended by Babe Zaharias, which "fired up" her own golf aspirations. Earlier that same year, Jones started the Masters Tournament, which Ben Hogan won twice. Jones used to say if he had to choose one man to hit one shot to win a major championship, he would pick Hogan because of his "spiritual " assets. Hogan, late in his career, saw a tenacity in Ken Venturi that he admired, and took him under his wing. They became great friends, and Ken was a pallbearer at Hogan's funeral.
Venturi befriended Charlie Sifford in those days when racism dogged him. When the restaurant at Pensacola Country Club wouldn't let Charlie eat there, Venturi spoke up, and took his own breakfast and joined his friend in the locker room. Bruce Edwards worked for Tom Watson, whose teacher was Byron Nelson, the same man who tutored Ken Venturi. The first tournament Edwards and Watson won together was the Byron Nelson Classic. Amazingly, the chain of golf history is often connected by one or two links, much less than the well known "six degrees of separation."
The talent of the seven people in this book, in concert with character, defined the lives and created more links in a chain going back to the beginnings of the game. Today, we still remember them. When Old Tom Morris died over a hundred years ago, his achievements as a golfer were well known and documented, and were sure to endure. The greatest moral of his life, it was stressed upon his passing, was that "no matter in what sphere, it is character that achieves the greatest victories." As Arnold Hautlain wrote plainly, "It all comes back to character; not intellect or acumen or ability…just character ."
In many ways, the legacy of how these champions dealt with the physical and emotional trials life handed them is more impressive than the records they set on the golf course. "We define and admire greatness," wrote Mark Frost in his wonderful book, The Greatest Game Ever Played, "not only by the magnitude of achievement but also for the degree of difficulty that person has to ."

Are there a few of you guys in Seattle? I think there's about 3 of us Brainers in Vancouver. I would be down for a Pacific North West meet-up / trade fest at some point, doesn't have to be at ECCC.
In a place like the 'Couv, you're only Kaiju friend is the postman - and he's often reluctant to come in and help open your package : )
that would be cool i know there are a handful of us here in seattle.
I'm new to the Seattle scene, But would love to get this up and banging. We can always host a trade fest at Hip Hop Robot. Maybe have a cook out.
I can say 100% coming from NY that it can be awesome to close the vast distances these toys usually cover. Alittle show, tell, & trade never hurt a hobby
We will definitely have to do something at hip hop robot once stegoforest vinyl is ready.
The resin show was fun. We had live music and a BBQ.
Bumping this dusty thread as I will be in Seattle this weekend for ECCC, but I was also wondering if there are any good shops to check out?
I'm coming to Seattle April 12th to 17th. Sort of a family vacation my sis planned. I'll be armed with a camera (and a trip to Kerry Park to try an get that iconic skyline pic) and an appetite for Dungess crabs and those crazy hotdogs (oh and fucking coffee)!
It's not Kaiju, but Archie McPhee has some great crazy, weird, and fun toys. You can get a sampling of their store here...
@Mr. Humphreys - Thank you! Looks like an interesting store.
Post some photos if you go!
*it's like your favorite childhood prank, party, costume, gag, candy, and toy store on steroids
p.s. got to get a hand kitty!
Seattle SB'ers I love your city! Staying at the Paramount, everywhere I've gone I'm just dumbfounded. Might head out to Blue Owl in Fremont this weekend to get myself some selvedge jeans.
Here's the postcard shot (from Kerry Park) I took one evening around 8pm (froze my ass off waiting for the lights to come on). I loved Seattle, I'd move here in a minute but from what I gathered its mostly tech jobs with Amazon & Microsoft etc and really expensive to live there. I'm a lowly environmental scientist seeking my first entry level job so not sure I could get one here. Beautiful city though and the scenery took my breath away.

Matt Ryan's Resilience Keeps Falcons Flying
"What's impressed me more than anything is probably his resiliency of not playing our best the last two weeks and still being able to have success and get the outcome that we wanted. His ability to handle those types of situations is impressive. He's had 18 fourth-quarter comebacks in four years and six games. Matt, he's a guy that doesn't get rattled easily. You've got to have that. He's a calming influence across the board for the entire team."
--Mike Smith, head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, talking about quarterback Matt Ryan's mindset and leadership.
The Atlanta Falcons are the only undefeated football team in the NFL after a last second field goal defeated the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon.
Excerpt from "Ryan shows he knows how to win" by Ashley Fox, 10/12/2012, ESPN.com.

Alex Rodriguez Shows Leadership
"I couldn't be happier for Raul. Ten years ago, I might have reacted differently. I admit I might not have taken it as well. But I have matured. I told Joe when he came to me that he had to do exactly what he felt he had to do."
--Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees All-Star, celebrating a winning home run by the Raul Ibanez, who replaced him in the lineup in the ninth inning.
Ibanez tied the game, 2-2, with a home run to right field. Perhaps surprisingly to many people, Rodriguez was the first Yankee to greet Ibanez at the top step of the dugout after he rounded the bases.
Then, in the 12th inning, Ibanez did it again, winning the game, 3-2, with a second homer.
Asked if he was insulted by Girardi's decision or if he would harbor any hard feelings, Rodriguez shook his head.
"No, no way," he answered. "I'm one of the leaders of this team now. It's about winning. We won; I'm pleased. Whatever it takes."

Has Lionel Messi Got the Right Idea?
"I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else. I am more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with? When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy. I like to score goals but I also like to have friends among the people I have played with."
--Lionel Messi, considered by many to be the best soccer player in the world.
Messi has won three consecutive world Player of the Year awards and may win a fourth in 2012 after scoring a record 73 goals last season.
Excerpt from nytimes.com "Messi Wants More Than Just Accolades" (Reuters, 10/1/2012).

Roles & Responsibilities
Under the Clean Water Act, source protection plans will be locally developed and delivered. Communities will use a science-based approach to protecting their water supplies, one that works for them. But how will municipalities, conservation authorities, community groups and residents work together towards the common goal of safe water?
What does the Clean Water Act mean for your community? Source protection planning will build on the work many municipalities are already doing to protect drinking water. Source protection authorities will be established to coordinate source protection across multiple municipalities within the larger watershed. That body will then help create a source protection committee which will represent the broad interests across the watershed.
Source Protection Authority
Generally, the source protection authority follows the same structure as the conservation authority boards, which are made up of members appointed by municipal councils. The geographic area of each authority covers the watershed. These areas are grouped together to form 11 source protection regions and 8 standalone source protection areas. In a source protection region, one source protection authority will lead and co-ordinate the efforts of all the authorities within the region. The lead authority will also establish the source protection committee for the region, and provide support to the committee during the development of the terms of reference, assessment report and the source protection plan.
Source Protection Committee
Source protection committees will prepare the terms of reference, the assessment report and the source protection plan. There will be strong municipal representation on the committee which will also include conservation authorities, farmers, small businesses and a range of other stakeholders within the watershed. Through the source protection committee, municipalities will work to identify, assess and address risks to drinking water within their municipal wellhead and intake protection areas. Stakeholders such as local property owners could also participate through working groups, supporting and consulting on the work of the source protection committee.
Click here to learn more about joining the Source Protection Committee
Municipalities will have a strong role in developing and implementing source protection plans in all areas under municipal jurisdiction. Municipalities are already responsible for the delivery of municipal drinking water and land use planning and the proposed source protection process will build on this work. Municipalities will develop and implement policies to reduce risks posed by activities located in areas under their jurisdiction. This could include requiring individual property owners to take action on significant drinking water threats located within their wellhead and intake protection areas.
Conservation Authorities
Conservation authorities, with their watershed-based perspective, will help source protection committees develop source protection plans by gathering and sharing information, facilitating cooperation and coordination among communities and stakeholders, and providing technical support and advice to the source protection committees.
Property owners, industry, businesses, farmers, community groups & the public
It is important that people become involved in local source protection planning and help to find practical, workable solutions. Engaging the local community in source protection planning will build partnerships to protect common interests. Anyone engaged in an activity that poses a threat or may be affected by the source protection plan will be encouraged to become involved early on, and could be involved through representation on the source protection committees or working groups.
Broader public consultation across the watershed at three key stages: during the preparation of the terms of reference, the assessment report and the source protection plan will provide an opportunity for everyone to provide their input.

SUMMERTON, S.C. - The Georgia Southern University team of Justin Hewlett of North August, S.C., and Geoffrey Hill of Kennesaw, Ga. won the National Guard FLW College Fishing Southeastern Conference event on Santee Cooper Saturday with four bass weighing 10 pounds, 4 ounces. They endured the longest for delay in FLW history - nearly five hours to claim the win. The victory earned the team $5,000, and advanced them to the Southeastern Conference Championship.
"We had a plan set up for the entire day, down to the minute" said Hewlett, a Construction Management major. "The fog delay really threw us off our plan today, though. We came up here to Santee on our Spring Break in early March, and that definitely was one of our keys to victory today. It allowed us the time to really learn the lake. One of our areas that we found on that trip produced three fish for us today."
"It was a really slow morning," said Hill, a Mechanical Engineering major. "We shot over to our first spot where we were confident that we could get a limit, but were only able to pull three out of there. Then we decided to fish an area near the boat landing across from the marina, and we were able to pull our last keeper out of there. We actually missed our fifth fish from there, as it got off just before we landed it. We were fishing Zoom baits all day. We caught our first 3 on watermelon-colored Zoom Swimming Flukes, and our last one on a baby bass-colored Zoom Super Fluke."
Rounding out the top five teams and also advancing to the Southeastern Conference Championship:
2nd: Troy University - Connor Bedsole, Arab, Ala., and Hunter Graham, Troy, Ala. (two bass, 9-3, $1,500).
3rd: Tennessee Technical University - Kenneth Zainal, Cookeville, Tenn., and Matt Quinn, Brentwood, Tenn. (three bass, 8-11, $1,000).
4th: University of North Carolina-Charlotte - Shane Lehew, Charlotte, N.C, and Adam Waters, Denver, N.C. (four bass, 8-9, $1,500).
5th: Wake Forest University - Graham Rich, Winston-Salem, N.C., and Thomas Gravitt, King, N.C. (two bass, 7-14, $1,000).
Click here for complete results.
Four regular-season qualifying events are held in each conference - Central, Northern, Southeastern, Texas and Western. The top five teams from each qualifying tournament will advance to one of five televised three-day National Guard FLW College Fishing Conference Championships, where the first-place team wins a Ranger 177TR bass boat with a 90-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard. The top five teams from each conference championship advance to the national championship, where the first-place team wins $25,000 for their school and $50,000 cash plus a Ranger 177TR bass boat with a 90-horsepower Evinrude or Mercury outboard for their fishing club.
College Fishing is free to enter and FLW provides boats and drivers for each competing team along with travel allowances. All participants must be registered, full-time undergraduate students at a four-year college or university and members of a fishing club recognized by their college or university.
The next National Guard FLW College Southeastern Conference tournament is scheduled for May 5 at Lake Guntersville in Guntersville, Ala., and is hosted by the Marshall County Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Accidental diplomat: how Garth's guys made me mediator in five-show fiasco
Garth Brooks gives bear hugs. Standing in a music hall in Nashville and talking to a singer who has left Ireland in a political deadlock, I say to him: "I think you'll get the five nights."
"I hope so," he answers as he squeezes me tight for a photo. He stops short and asks me: "Do you think so? Do you really think we will?"
I explain that I am in no way a politician but the will and sentiment is there.
I am meant to be in Tennessee to cover the Garth Brooks press conference but instead I find myself being simultaneously pressed for information by music executives about what exactly is going on in Ireland and acting as an Irish diplomat.
I have now bizarrely become a go-between. I have officially become part of the negotiations. Before long, there's a government minister on my phone and the lord mayor of Dublin.
My iPhone, with dwindling battery power, is taken by Garth Brooks' manager Bob Doyle as he talks to the capital's mayor Christy Burke.
"Christy – he's a nice guy," said Bob as he returned from the venue's green room. "Have you a solution?" I ask. "I don't think so," comes the dead-pan answer. Next up on the blower is Trade Minister Joe Costello and he and Bob have a longer chat. By all accounts Mr Costello explained the sticky situation of planning laws to the country singer's right-hand man.
"Any solution?" I ask again. His demeanour is even worse this time. Bob does not answer. He looks over towards Garth's direction and leaves it at that.
Having tried my best and conscious of a six-hour time difference and looming deadlines, I go to excuse myself from the Brooks party.
"Have you a number for Enda Kenny?" came a voice. That I do not have, I respond, as I now realise how ludicrous this situation has become.
Not only do the singer's staff now know the name of our Taoiseach, they know how many seats Sinn Fein hold in Dublin City Council and the Lord Mayor is referred to affectionately as "Christy", with a crisp 'T' pronunciation.
As we sat and waited for the press conference to kick off, pulses and heartbeats became audible. For some unknown reason this was a very big deal.
A journalist close to me leans in and says: "I wasn't this nervous walking down the aisle."
There are no lives being saved here, no one has discovered a cure for cancer and yet the eyes of the world are on this small venue on the outskirts of Nashville.
So much attention over something that, in the grand scheme of things, is not that significant; there is almost a sense of anti-climax as Brooks left the stage after nearly an hour of talking.
Just when I think the need for my mediation services has dissipated, an email pops up on my iPad. It is from Dublin City Council.
In fudged language it intimates that they will somehow give the go-ahead for five concerts. As Brooks' manager holds my iPad, it is hard to read his face. He walks off and has hushed conversations and then talks to Garth. It appears that they have been offered matinees – therefore doing the five gigs in three days.
A few minutes later, the three members of the Irish media are gathered up by the publicist and told once again that the country legend wants to disappoint no one. And the matinee idea, just like the Aviva one, is shot down.
But still the ship, with this massive stage, is on its way to Ireland.

M.F. Campbell (Colby C.), L.K. Deutsch (BU/CfA)
Recognition that high-mass stars form only in clusters has motivated us to make new radiative transfer models for infrared emission from compact, dense cloud cores surrounding very young high-mass stars. We assume outer cloud radii are limited by the formation of stars in clusters to 0.1 pc. Since there is a high efficiency of conversion of gas into stars within clusters, we assumed the mass of gas and dust in the cloud models is equal or less than the mass of the central star. We assumed Draine and Lee (1984) dust properties with 100:1 gas to dust mass ratio, and used the Egan, Leung, and Spagna (1988) radiative transfer code. The central star in all models is an O8 ZAMS type at 1700 pc distance (the distance to NGC6334). The dust emitting clouds were assumed to have inner cavities of radius 0.006 pc, just outside an ultracompact HII region. Density distributions were taken as uniform or proportional to r-3/2. Except for the highest mass clouds, the models showed the 10 micron silicate feature in emission rather than self absorption. All models' spectral energy distributions peak shortward of 50 microns. The lack of silicate self absorption and the SEDs peaking shortward of 50 microns are apparently due to the small size of these models. In order to match observed silicate absorption in UCHIIs, an external cold absorbing component must be added to the models. The results suggest that individual high mass star-formation cores should be searched for in mid-infrared rather than far-infrared wavelengths, and that SEDs which peak in the far- infrared are at least partly produced by separate, larger outer cloud envelopes.
Draine, B. T. & Lee, H. M. 1984 ApJ, 285, 89; Egan, M.P., Leung, C.M., & Spagna, G.F, Jr. 1988 Comput. Phys. Comm., 48, 271
