"There Is No Frigate Like A Book",
By H. F. Corbin "Foster Corbin" (ATLANTA, GA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
Emily Dickinson's famous lines "there is no frigate like a book to take us miles away" could not be more apropros of Lloyd Jones' magical MISTER PIP. Matilda, the narrator, is a black child entering puberty living in New Guinea when we first meet her. Her beloved father has left her and her mother to seek his fortune in Australia and try to, in the words of her mum, "turn into a white man." Matilda becomes fascinated, as does the reader, with the only white man on her island, Mr. Watts (some days he wore a red clown's nose), nicknamed by the children of the village "Pop Eye." His wife is a black woman named Grace whom he often pulls around on a trolley. When war breaks out and many people flee the settlement, Mr. Watts teaches the remaining island children. He reads aloud to his spellbound students Charles Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS, which he describes as the greatest novel by the greatest English writer of the nineteenth century. Dickens' character Pip makes an indelible impression on the young Matilda and becomes much more real to her than dead relatives. Much of the conflict in this beautifully crafted story has to do with the tension between Mr. Watts, who does not believe in a god, and Matilda's mother Dolores, a devout believer in the Good Book. Matilda sees many parallels between her life and that of the fictional Pip. As an adult she remembers his confession,"it is a most miserable thing to feel ashamed of home" and thinks of her island. That passage and many others she sees as "personal touchstones."
Mr. Jones' narrative will hold you in its spell, and you will long remember Mr. Watts. Like many teachers, he is part charlatan, part magician, but also a kind and loving mentor. He is more alive than many of the people on the nightly news-- and certainly more decent-- and as real as William Styron's Sophie, John Updike's Rabbit or Thomas Hardy's Tess. MISTER PIP says wondrous things about the power of the imagination, the permanence of storytelling-- when the novel is lost, Mr. Watts and his students remember fragments from it and write them down-- kindness and courage. The author is a wizard with words, but he also lets his characters make profound statements about life as well. For example, the Jones' ocean shuffles up the beach and draws out; Matilda hears "the lazy flip-flop of the sea--so much louder at night than during the day" and Mr. Watts defines the word "opportunity" to his students: "'The window opens and the bird flies out.'" Matilda, from reading this one book of Dickens, finds out that "you can slip under the skin of another just as easily as your own, even when that skin is white and belongs to a boy alive in Dickens' England. Now, is that isn't an act of magic I don't know what is." Another character muses on youth and age: "' Everyone was young in those days. That's the main complaint you hear from people who are getting old. You stop seeing young people. You begin to wonder if there are any left and whether there were only young people when you were young.'" When you finish this haunting and intense story, you very well may want to reread the Dickens' account of the young Pip and his journey to becoming a gentleman. I know I do.

Wondrous--An author of world-standing literary ability,
By B. Case "InquiringMind" (Redondo Beach, CA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
"Mister Pip" by Lloyd Jones is the wondrous coming-of-age story about Matilda Laimo, a 13-year old Papua New Guinean child living on the island of Bougainville. It is an enchanting, lyrical, lush, and politically powerful tale by a prize-winning author of world-standing literary ability. The book has already won the 2007 Commonwealth Prize for literature and is currently among thirteen titles longlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize. It has been sold for distribution in the United States for an unprecedented sum; even if the author fails to win the Booker Prize, it will still make him a millionaire. If the book wins the Booker Prize, it is destined to be a big-time modern literary and popular crossover bestseller.
The story is set in 1991. The mainland Papua New Guinean government is involved in a civil war with the inhabitants of Bougainville, a large island off its southeastern edge--an island abundant in gold and copper resources. The population and culture of Bougainville is more similar to the Solomon Islands archipelago. where it belongs geographically rather than to any of the diverse mainland tribes of Papua New Guinea. As the novel begins, the child is barely aware of the conflict. She is black, and she views the invading government forces as foreign redskins. Matilda lives in a tranquil primitive coastal village of no more than 60 people. They live in dirt-floored huts, and easily get all the food they need from the surrounding bountiful jungle and ocean. But in 1991, everything changes when the government chooses to blockade the island. Subsequently, all white people, including the village's teacher, missionary, doctor, etc., take the last boat off the island. All leave except Mr. Watts, an eccentric white man living a reclusive life with his black island wife in an old missionary house near the village--a house completely hidden by tall grass left uncut for decades. As the blockade progresses, all supplies slowly go scarce, then disappear altogether. There are no more canned foods, no more gasoline for the electrical generators, no more medicines. Babies start dying once again from malaria. The island children, freed from school, are aimless. The island quickly and easily returns to the way that life has been lived there for thousands of years. The author, Lloyd Jones, knows this subject first-hand--he served as a journalist in Bougainville "where the most unspeakable things happened without once raising the ire of the outside world." And that is indeed true. I consider myself well informed on world matters, yet before I read this novel and did some background research about the setting, I had no idea about the great inhumanity that this island endured during its 10-year-long civil war. The war ultimately cost the lives of more than 11% of the island's inhabitants...and the world, for the most part, completely ignored the events. Violence does occur in this novel, and it is "unspeakable," but the author treats this subject carefully--we are spared undue shock, and it is not the focus. This book can, and will, appeal to all readers, including young adults. The main story begins when Mr. Watts decides to reopen the schoolroom and become the village's temporary teacher. He teaches the children by reading aloud Charles Dickens' "Great Expectations." The children quickly become totally entranced. They fall in love with the books main character, Mister Pip. Lovingly, Matilda builds an oceanfront shrine to Mister Pip--a fictional character that has become more alive to her than anything else in her impoverished environment. But this simple act of love brings violence into her life and the life of her community. The government "redskins" see the shrine from their helicopters and are sure that Mister Pip is a hidden rebel leader. For me the most wondrous aspect of this novel is the prose--completely fresh and original. There is a rhythmic quality to the writing that is wholly new, and hard to analyze. The prose has a lovely and lyrical overall simplicity. The writing compelled me inside the story; I became part of that alien, primitive world. There is an important moral message within this novel. According to Mr. Watts: "to be human is to be moral, and you can't have a day off when it suits." Personally, it makes me think about the fact that we are all living on a large island--planet Earth. Like Bougainville, Earth is rife with conflicts and, for me, the most important are environmental degradation and global warming. Are we going to do the moral thing, even if it doesn't suit? So far I have read two other novels shortlisted for the 2007 Booker Prize: "On Chesil Beach: A Novel" by Iwan McEwan, and "The Reluctant Fundamentalist" by Mohsin Hamid. Each I have reviewed on Amazon, and recommend highly. They all are exceptional examples of modern literarature, and all have important messages to convey.

The Power of Storytelling,
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
This novel is narrated by a black girl named Matilda who is reflecting on her time growing up in an island's small village on the fringes of war-torn Papua New Guinea. The village regularly receives news and gossip about the ongoing conflict between the perceived "red-skin invading government" and the black rebels made up of many young men from local villages. They hear about the vandalism and destruction of communities as well as the gruesome murder of many innocent civilians caught in the civil war. However, Matilda is only vaguely aware of this happening in the back ground. At first, she's more concerned with the daily details of life with her protective mother (her father left them some time ago to do business in Australia), playing with her friends and wondering about the local oddity - Mr. Watts (or Pop Eye as the children call him), the only white man in the village, who is occasionally found pulling his mysterious black wife in a cart while wearing a red clown nose. When the children are left with no teacher, Mr. Watts surprisingly comes forward to educate all the local children. However, with no formal teaching skills, he spends the majority of class time reading aloud to them from the novel Great Expectations. Matilda is enraptured by the story and comes to think of its characters as her friends, finding common themes between Pip's life and her own. However, her strict Christian mother is less than pleased about the way Mr. Watts is influencing her daughter. When the fighters come to Matilda's small village, the girl's adoration for the character Pip inadvertently causes a conflict which throws the village into chaos and threatens their peaceful existence.
Jones masterfully re-creates life within this small village using straight-forward, beautifully-wrought prose. He describes the way in which storytelling can powerfully affect people, letting their thoughts and experience meld with the tales to make them wholly personal and unique. The author also manages to subtly make original and profound statements about racial differences. When scenes of horrific violence appear they are delivered with heart-breaking simplicity rather than artistic flourishes. Jones shows the slow painful destruction which war brings, exhausting and maiming the fighters, creating upheaval and chaos in the lives of ordinary citizens and tarnishing the future of the innocents. This is what makes Mister Pip a truly universal tale accessible to anyone. The thing which is shown to survive, beyond all the villagers' physical possessions, is their imagination and memory. They are what allow Matilda to reconnect with her past and rebuild her identity out of the ashes. She eventually discovers Mr. Watts has hidden stories of his own as does her beloved author Mr. Dickens. Though she endures a painful amount of hardship, it feels like a kind of victory that Matilda's own story can survive despite her childhood world being erased by the march of history. This is only the first of New Zealand author Lloyd Jones' numerous novels to be published in the UK and US. Hopefully, his back catalogue will become available to the west soon.

Changes without warning,
By Amazon Customer (Bridgehampton, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
Life can change without warning. That's one of the recurring notes sounded by Matilda Laimo, the likeable, self-effacing narrator of MISTER PIP, as she looks back on her early adolescence on a small island village in Bougainville, Papua New Guinea in the early 90s. It's a note of both warning and hope, for she was trapped on the island at the worst of times--during a ruthless, atrocity-ridden civil war--yet somehow managed to survive it. That's the one lifeline (the Mr. Jaggers--you'll learn what this means) that Lloyd throws his readers from the outset: Matilda has lived to tell her tale, we just don't know how or at what cost.
MISTER PIP's plot is likewise full of changes without warning: I didn't always know what would come next in this novel, which I found alternately heartwarming, repellant, funny, horrifying, sad, strange, uplifting. Early on, I thought I was in for another charming but sentimental homage to a teacher, that the "background chorus" of gunfire erupting from the Bougainville blockade would remain just that, an excuse for a group of trapped tropical island students to fall under the spell of a maverick teacher who reads them, of all things, GREAT EXPECTATIONS. And who would be the Donat/Poitier/Williams to star in its movie? I didn't pay enough attention to Matilda's forewarnings: "What I am about to tell results, I think, from our ignorance of the outside world." Eventually that world invades the village with a steadily increasing brutality that I won't soon, maybe ever, forget, and all my notions of getting cozy with the students as they listen to installments of Dickens were quickly disabused. There are many complex turns in this book, many levels of civil war, mysteries within mysteries, and in the end, Mister Pip couldn't be less sentimental; it has moments as bleak and soul-shriveling as THE HEART OF DARKNESS. It's difficult to speak about this or any novel without giving too much of its story away, but it might be worth knowing for some that there are spoilers galore in MISTER PIP for GREAT EXPECTATIONS; you'll get a kind of SparkNotes overview of the latter. I wonder, in fact, what the experience of reading MISTER PIP without knowing GREAT EXPECTATIONS would be like--a call I can't make, having read it a number of times. I suspect, though, that Lloyd does depend on readers' familiarity with Dickens in some way because despite his many weighty themes--race, atrocity, surviving atrocity, sacrifice, strained mother/daughter relationships, crucial life lessons, abandonment, fatal misunderstandings and clashes of culture--his MISTER PIP is first and foremost about reading and the love of literature. About story as survival and the ability of novels, as Matilda says, to supply you with another world when you desperately need one. And what book lover doesn't cross paths, sooner or later, with GREAT EXPECTATIONS? If not before MISTER PIP, then I bet soon after.

Reviews by Dr. Thomas Moore, author with Alphar: August, 2007,
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
In "Mister Pip", Lloyd Jones weaves a narrative that will transform lives... in a voice that lives on long after the final page.
During the 1990 blockade of Bougainville, a south Pacific island rich in copper, only one white man chooses to stay behind: the eccentric Mr. Watts, who sweeps out the ruined schoolhouse and begins to read to the children each day from Charles Dickens's classic Great Expectations. So begins this brilliant award-winning novel about the strength that imagination, once ignited, can provide. As artillery echoes in the mountains, thirteen-year-old Matilda and her peers are riveted by the adventures of a young orphan named Pip. A private, linen-suited figure with a native wife, Mr. Watts is a mystery to the children of the island But Matilda's fascination with the story of Pip begins to trouble her devout, practical-minded mother. She starts to wage a not-so-silent campaign against Mr. Watts and nineteenth-century England, and the distance between her and Matilda, who is immersed in the new world of Dickens, grows. Then the real war, which has been inching closer every day, arrives. The redskin soldiers visit the island and come to believe that Pip, the central character of Great Expectations, is a real, live man, being hidden by the villagers. Vengeance is extracted in increasingly terrible ways as the island fails to produce him. Yet as the villagers lose almost everything, for the children and Mr. Watts, the imaginary world exerts a stronger pull than ever. And for a moment, the power of story-telling seems as though it will save everyone. The narrator's voice is that of Matilda, a village girl. She was named by the Australians who opened up the world's richest copper mine in Bougainville, and her name stands throughout as ironic comment on responsibilities intimate and global. Lloyd Jones has a special insight into the intricacies of the human situation - intimate and global. Lloyd Jones, writing with the voice of an adolescent girl, is a middle-aged New Zealand author who has mastered a great novel: Wrought with the purity of grief, urgent in every cadence, and expanded by a faint lingering hope. But the end does not bring wonder but despair. And that's a wonder in itself, that such a grim subject can still carry something as luminous and as revealing to us readers worlds away from a forgotten village on the pacific. This book reminds me of the high;y acclaimed book Upland Road from AlpharPublish.com in that it explores the effects of a foreign civilization on children from a south pacific culture. Enjoy the book! Dr. Thomas Moore: email@example.com. Author of The Progress Of Man, Hillary

A Lesson in Literature,
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
"Mister Pip" by Lloyd Jones is the sad tale of a young woman's struggle with her very adult world. The tale illuminates on how literature can affect our daily lives and it is through Dicken's "Great Expectations" that the young woman, Matilda, learns to cope with her war-wraught world. The novel teaches her how to survive but, most importantly, how to make her voice heard in a place where individuals are lost to the vastness of the world and society. Although this theme emerges late in the novel, Matilda's moments of ephiphany evoke powerful and emotional responses.
For most of the novel the connection between Dicken's masterpiece and Matilda's life is difficult to recognize. However, one of the most important lines in the book is when the young protagonist realizes just how small and insignificant are her struggles. "This time the whole village listened in wonder, sitting by a small fire on an island all but forgotten, where the most unspeakable things happened without once raising the ire of the outside world" (166). She struggles to find her own significance and even loses a desire to live. However, the novel strongly connects with literature lovers when Matilda realizes that works are written because of the human experience. It is here where the slow beginning and unclear themes are redeemed. The reader is reminded of the time where they, too, realized that literature reflects the stories of our lives.

An interesting read that doesn't quite get where it's going,
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
This is a very interesting book indeed. The central character is a young girl caught up in civil unrest on an island in New Guinea. When all those who are able to flee the island do so, the only remaining white man, a somewhat eccentric New Zealander, begins teaching the island's children. He is not a teacher by trade and the only text he has at his disposal is a well-worn copy of Great Expectations. The scene is set for the author to explore some very interesting themes - the clash of Western and tribal cultures, the role stories play in our lives (both our own and those from literature), the way grasping an opportunity can change our lives forever, the horrors of civil unrest.....Along the way we are treated to some truly insightful moments and some intriguing plot twists. Then somewhere near the end things go wrong. None of the ideas that have been taken up are brought to a satisfactory conclusion and the plot just seems to fade away into oblivion. I would still recommend reading the book. It is conceptually interesting and ambitious, but somehow doesn't quite get where it wants to go.

Fascinating story -- beautiful writing,
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
Many have summarized the story which in itself is spellbinding; I knew nothing of the conditions of the Civil War in this part of the world and it was interesting to hear it told from "the ground up" -- from the eyes of a young woman living through it.
The writing in this book is just beautiful. It was one that when I finished the last page, I immediately went back to the first to begin again. The character of Matilda is one that I will long remember. The author has managed to tell a wonderful story in such a readable and memorable manner. The language is beautiful but not overdone; the sentences are short and filled with impact. I don't think there is a spare word in the entire book. There is unspeakable violence in the book, but it is never overdone, and the affect of the violence on the individuals of the island helps explain that seemingly blank look we see too often on TV news clips of violence in third world countries. Although I was familiar with Great Expectations, I don't believe one would have to be because this is a story about a story and its impact on a young girl. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants a truly thought provoking yet readable and loving book (there is a lot of love in this book).

Mister Pip,
This review is from: Mister Pip (Hardcover)
I have been reading avidly for over 40 years and this is the first book I have ever finished and turned immediately back to the beginning to start again. The other reviewers have covered plot and content - all of which are excellent, my enthusiasm is with the writing - if writing can be called 'gorgeous' this is. I want to eat this book. Thank you so much Mr Jones. A fantastic, intelligent, thought provoking, funny, treatise of our complicated humanity.

Beyond My Expectations,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mister Pip (Paperback)
Mr Pip ,by LLoyd Jones, is an onion of a novel. By that I mean it is layered in an intricately woven manner to encompass a myriad of themes. At first it is a deceptively simple tale set on the lush tropical island of Bouganville where the native population,isolated and blockaded, are facing a civil war of deprivation and horror.Into the mix comes the only white inhabitant who remained after others fled,Mr Watts. He steps up to take over the abandoned schoolhouse and thus becomes the Pied Piper of Bouganville. Through his storytelling of Dicken's Great Expectations he provides a safe haven for the war stricken children . They immediately succomb to the power of the written word and are transported to Victorian England where they meet Pip who in some ways is like each one of them. Imagination takes them away from the immediate horror of civil war. Mr Pip becomes a savior of sorts especially to Matilda, the young Narrator. But Mr Watt's hold on the children causes issues with the parents who see his approach as a threat to religious beliefs and cultural allegiance. These differences of culture and dogmatic approach lead to a stand off between Mr Watts and Dolores, Matilda's mother. This clash will create unlikely heroes as the war encroaches and moral decisions must be made. There is great symbolism here for a world where races and cultures face major changes in an ever more global world. When the only copy of Great Expectations disappears and the soldiers demand to see a fictional Mr Pip,(who they believe to be a real spy) there are terrible reprecussions. Storytelling becomes the weapon of choice at first, as it soothes the savage rambos who are really just misguided school children at heart.The seven nights of Mr Watts' storytelling are a heroic vehicle to stall until an escape plan is put into effect. But storytelling has created a great dilemma too, as there is no real Mr. Pip to offer up to the demanding redskins who appear savagely and without warning. I will not divulge any more of the plot but suffice it to say that Great Expectations causes major life changing effects as Matilda moves into a future off the island. The novel is a homage to literature, to teachers who change destinies, to clashes of cultures and racial divides, to the horrors of war ,to the power of the written word , to the empowering value of imagination and to the religious and moral values that sometimes must collide and clash before there can be compromises. This small novel offers huge issues to ponder . Mr Jones has exceeded many expectations with this novel.

Fashion trends are cyclical in nature. We hear this time and time and time again. But, this season, perhaps more than ever, makes a strong case for this notion. From Alexander Wang's '90s-nostalgia runway to the '70s-era fringe seen at Joseph Altuzarra, The Row, and Tibi, there's little room for debate. But, we're not saying that's a bad thing — not at all. The resurgence of these once-loved styles means that, now, a whole new generation of women can wear and love them, too.
And, it should come as little surprise that our favorite celebrities are already donning the tasseled styles — they (and their stylists) are usually pretty on top of these things, after all. But, since we're not ones to be left out, we're drawing inspiration from Kate Mara, Olivia Palermo, the one and only Tilda Swinton, and more stylish gals for unique ways to interpret the trend for our closets this spring. Ahead, see fringed skirts, fringed dresses, tops, and even purses, too! Because, isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery?

NORMAN — Oklahoma enters the 2013 football season strong in some position groups, but relatively thin experience-wise in others, most notably on the defensive line and in the secondary.
Oklahoma football: Five newcomers who could make an immediate impact
Here's a look at five newcomers who could make an immediate impact in their first year as Sooners.
Ht., Wt.: 6-1, 190
Why he'll contribute: Byrd said in late January that he'd been promised a starting position on Oklahoma's defense right away. Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops shot down that idea in his signing day news conference, but Byrd's talent will give him an opportunity to play early. Junior Quinton Hayes and senior Gabe Lynn worked as starters through the spring, but neither has much experience in those positions.
Why he might not: Hayes didn't play last year because of a yearlong suspension, and Lynn has struggled some at both cornerback and nickelback over the past two seasons. If they each prove to be good fits for the safety spots, Byrd's opportunity for regular playing time could diminish.

Why he'll contribute: Oklahoma lost both Kenny Stills and Justin Brown from last year's team, so a tall, sure-handed receiver could easily find his niche in a unit headlined by smaller, slot guys. He enrolled early and gained valuable experience through spring practices.
Why he might not: Senior Lacoltan Bester left spring football as a first-team wideout. Jaz Reynolds returns after being suspended all of last season, and if he continues working his way back into coaches' good graces, he'll be a factor. Sophomore Durron Neal also had an impressive spring.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
The Logitech C310 HD Webcam has all you need to start using things like Skype and iChat. The microphone records pretty clear and it has an easy setup that just sits right on top of your monitor. It works with both Mac and PC. The video quality isn't amazing but it's definitely pretty good. It plugs right into a USB port so you can easily take down and set up again. The only real downsides or flaws I personally saw with this product was the cord length and the stability of the clamp that holds it on your monitor. I tried to put it on my screen but it couldn't reach so I had to reconfigure my whole desk which was a total pain! Also, the clamp system it has going doesn't stick on some monitors very well (it definitely depends on the kind you have) but it's all right if you can set it just right so it won't tip off next time something gets bumped. Overall this is a great webcam with good quality video, clear recording and a sleek, very stylish looking design. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants or needs a webcam for everyday use.

Alexion Joins Eurordis, NORD And Patient Organizations Worldwide In Celebrating Rare Disease Day 2013
Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALXN), joins the European Organization for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS), the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) and patient organizations worldwide in celebrating Rare Disease Day 2013, a global effort to focus attention on rare diseases, their profound impact on patients, and the need for improved diagnosis and treatment. The theme of this year's celebration, "Rare Disorders without Borders," aligns with Alexion's mission of developing and delivering life-transforming therapies for patients worldwide who suffer from severe, life-threatening diseases that are ultra-rare.
"On Rare Disease Day, we are breaking isolation and raising awareness. Patients worldwide are not alone. We urge all stakeholders to reach across borders and find common solutions to living with serious, chronic and life-threatening rare diseases," said Yann Le Cam, Chief Executive Officer, EURORDIS. "Working together we can promote rare diseases as a public health priority, so to improve patients' access to diagnosis and treatment."
Many rare and ultra-rare diseases are chronic, progressive and marked by continuing pain, severe disability and high mortality rates. Diagnosing and managing these rare diseases is often made difficult by a lack of scientific knowledge, research and medical innovation. Few physicians are familiar with diagnosing and treating these illnesses, which frequently leads to missed, delayed or inaccurate diagnoses even when an approved, effective therapy is available. 1 Because of this, it is important to educate the medical community through disease awareness programs and diagnostic initiatives to identify patients suffering from rare and ultra-rare diseases as early as possible.
"Like many patients coping with a rare or ultra-rare disease, it took several months for our daughter to get an accurate diagnosis," said Denise Schmidt, mother of a young adult diagnosed with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), a chronic, ultra-rare and life-threatening disease that can progressively damage vital organs. "Increasing awareness among physicians and patients is a vital first step to ensuring our loved ones receive the best treatment and care."

CSA safety measurement system display changes now available for review
Among the changes being proposed are de-emphasizing BASIC percentile rankings and better describing so-called "absolute" carrier BASIC measures' relationship to scoring.
Losing the golden triangle: More proof shippers (mis)use CSA
A small fleet owner on CSA: "We lost our triangle, and it is incredible how much difference it has made. Many of our old customers ... called as soon as we lost the triangle."
Watch those post-crash-inspection violations
They shouldn't be assigned severity weights to contribute to a carrier's ranking in any CSA BASIC if the violation was a result of the crash.
CSA priorities include addressing concerns of small carriers, crash accountability, agency says
FMCSA also announced plans to launch a new version of the DataQs website for challenging inspection violations and crash assignments as early as the coming weekend.
Inconsistent enforcement: CSA's heat index
State inspection intensity ratings range from Maryland, where 32 inspections per lane-mile of National Highway System were conducted during CSA's first two year, to Idaho, where only two inspections per lane-mile were done.
Prompt updates to fleet data can help scores
Use the MCS-150 form to update annual vehicle-miles-traveled and total power unit data for your fleet, measurements you have control over and which figure in Unsafe Driving and Crash Indicator BASIC measures.
Inconsistent enforcement: CSA vs. the independent
In the two years since CSA's advent, the smallest carriers have had a much greater chance of getting inspected and put out of service than drivers and trucks of the largest carriers.


text: 000 FXUS63 KTOP 040548 AFDTOP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TOPEKA KS 1148 PM CST Tue Mar 3 2015 ...Update to aviation forecast discussion... .SHORT TERM...(This Evening through Wednesday) Issued at 330 PM CST TUE MAR 3 2015 Today the mid-level trough continued to deepen, with the trough axis extending from the Northern Plains into the southwestern U.S. At the surface, the cold front had exited the forecast area by mid afternoon with surface high pressure advancing into the area behind the front. With the frontal passage, winds shifted to the northwest resulting in cold air advection and falling temperatures for most locations through this afternoon. These northerly winds will support cold air advection overnight through tomorrow with lows in the mid/upper teens and Wednesday highs only reaching into the upper 20s/low 30s. The main focus of the short-term forecast (as well as the biggest adjustment from the previous forecast) is the increased potential for precipitation late tonight through Wednesday morning. Several short-range models are showing increased forcing and lift as the trough axis advances into the Central Plains. In fact, models show one decent band of precipitation setting up along and behind the cold front that exited the area today, but some of the associated precipitation may extend as far north as our far southern portions of the forecast area. A second batch of moisture seems to be associated with the enhanced forcing noted ahead of the advancing trough axis. We have seen very light reflectivity returns on radar across far east central Kansas for much of the day and model soundings show that low-level saturation may increase enough this evening to produce some very light rain showers or drizzle. Precipitation chances increase late evening into the overnight hours as the 2 regions of moisture try to converge near the forecast area. While the better chances for precipitation look to be along and south of I-70, portions of north central and far northern Kansas may get clipped by the western wave overnight. Drier air from the advancing surface high pressure should help to end the precipitation from north to south during the morning hours with some light lingering precipitation possible over far east central Kansas during the afternoon. Temperatures across the entire outlook area should drop below freezing by mid evening. Soundings have temperatures aloft cooling as well, so do not anticipate a warm nose above freezing as the column saturates. As a result, a majority of the precipitation should be in the form of snow. While the best forcing and lift looks to be centered over southern Kansas, some models are suggesting that modest forcing/lift could extend as far north as the I-70 corridor. Additionally, there are signs of some elevated instability extending northward into the area overnight into Wednesday morning as well, which could enhance precipitation totals. Due to this recent shift in the forecast models, confidence is on the low side with regards to possible snow accumulations. At this time, have snowfall accumulations of around 1 to 1.5 inches along and south of a line stretching from Minneapolis to Abilene to Garnett with lesser amounts north of this line. However, it`s worth noting that if any enforced snow bands develop across east central Kansas then some slightly higher snowfall totals will be possible. We will continue to monitor the short-term model trends and adjust the forecast as needed this evening. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday Night through Tuesday) Issued at 330 PM CST TUE MAR 3 2015 Lower to middle levels continue to dry Wednesday night as cold high pressure builds in. This should end any precip ending by the early evening. There remains some wind aloft and high cloud looks to remain into the evening so don`t expect a prime radiational cooling setup, but lows still should drop to around 10. Warm advection becomes the rule under persistent west-northwest flow aloft for good insolation. Westerly winds around 850mb should yield noticeable temperature gradients from west to east Thursday and Friday with highs back to near to even slightly above normal values for Friday. Models are similar in a few weak fronts passing over the weekend bringing minor uncertainty in temps, but mid to upper 50s expected to dominate. Upper trough in the eastern Pacific makes eastward progress to near the West Coast into early next week for warmer temps by Tuesday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFs through 06Z Wednesday Night) Issued at 1147 PM CST TUE MAR 3 2015 VFR to mvfr cigs will be common through 10Z then predominately MVFR through 15Z then becoming VFR by 17Z. Snow will be possible at the terminals in the 10Z-15Z period with mvfr vsbys at times. North winds around 10 kts with gusts near 18 kts through 13Z then north at 10 kts before decreasing to less than 10 kts after 00Z. && .TOP WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Ultra Music Festival Shrinks Back Down to One Weekend for 2014
Now only half as ultra
UPDATE: A second weekend for Ultra Music Festival 2014 is still possible, pending approval from the City of Miami Commission. Ultra organizers released the following statement regarding next year's event: "The 16th Annual Ultra Music Festival will take place March 28, 29 & 30, 2014. Dates for the additional weekend are pending the approval of the City of Miami Commission and will be released as soon as they are available."
Ultra Music Festival just wrapped its double-sized 2013 edition, but organizers have already revealed plans to scale the annual EDM fest back down to one weekend for 2014.
The Miami Herald reports that while this year's event was the most successful Ultra yet, with more 330,000 fans piled into Miami's Bayfront Park (including this guy) and more than 10 million people watching live streams of the festivities, next year's installment will run for three days, from March 28 to 30.
As SPIN previously reported, Ultra 2013 met with resistance from local business owners and Miami Commissioner Marc Sarnoff, who introduced a resolution opposing the showcase's expansion. Sarnoff cited traffic and noise concerns and also slammed EDM enthusiasts, saying "about 70 to 80 percent of these kids are on some sort of mind-altering drug." Earlier this month, just 24 hours before the extravaganza's kick-off, three stage workers were injured when a section of an LCD screen collapsed on site. Despite the incident, Ultra Music Festival 2013 was delayed for only one hour on March 15.
Be sure to check out SPIN's coverage of Ultra Music Fest 2013, which was the first double-weekend billing in the event's 15-year history:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Investigators determined fairly quickly that the burned human remains found after a shootout in Southern California mountains are those of Christopher Dorner, the ex-police officer suspected in a rampage that left four people dead. But the answer to a second question will likely prove more elusive — how did he die? |

It's faster than any other version of IE i've used.
Hasn't crashed once since I've been using it.
I really liked how it told you what programs would slow down "start up"Cons
It renders some pages and makes them look odd (might just be for me) but Cnet doesn't look right at all.
I know it's a small con, but still no built in spellcheck.. =/Summary
I'm a really big fan of this version. Its faster and more reliable, but its ability to render some pages is a bit of a disappointment

Bee-harming pesticides in our lavender and daisies? In the same week that an international body of scientists released a comprehensive global assessment of the harms of pesticides to bees, a new report shows that these very same pesticides are found in many of our backyard plants — at levels of concern — that are meant to support pollinators.
The report shows that 51% of garden plant samples purchased at top garden retailers (Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart) in 18 cities in the United States and Canada contain neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides — a key driver of declining bee populations. Concerning levels of the pesticides were found in places like California's San Francisco Bay Area and in Minnesota's Twin Cities. In some cases, multiple neonics were found in the same plant, in the leaves, stalks or flowers.
On Monday, researchers from UC Davis released new data linking prenatal pesticide exposure to increased risk of autism. This latest study adds to an increasingly powerful case for reducing use of these harmful chemicals that are undermining the potential of the next generation.
Researchers found that mothers who live within a mile of fields where toxic pesticides are applied have a 60% higher chance of having kids with autism. The link is strongest for the insecticide chlorpyrifos — and as a mom, this has me worried. More than a million pounds of this chemical are used every year in California, and while both state officials and EPA are taking another look at chlorpyrifos harms, the process is painfully slow. That's why we're now asking Congress to step up and help protect our kids.
"There's a perception that drift happens." That's what I heard an industry rep say when I listened in on a Kaua'i County Council meeting on pesticide issues last summer (before the landmark Bill 2491 passed). A perception of drift? Really?
If you've been following our work here at PAN you already know that pesticide drift is a problem. On-the-ground data from across the country leaves no question that drift happens — and that people in rural communities are being harmed. But did you know there's more than one kind? It's true. And right now, EPA is reviewing how to best assess the risks of the "other" kind of drift: volatilization.
Last week, I harvested the first cherries from our backyard tree. They were yummy, gorgeous and fresh — so satisfying! Having planted the little tree just last spring and tended it since, it was also satisfying to know the sweet fruit is completely free of any chemicals that could harm me or my family.
If I'd picked up non-organic cherries from the store instead, they could be coated with any of the 42 pesticides USDA found in their most recent round of residue sampling. According to PAN's newly updated WhatsOnMyFood.org online tool, 20 of the chemicals found on cherries are suspected hormone disruptors, seven are harmful to the human nervous system and five have been linked to cancer. Yikes.
Two. That's the number of votes a bill to label genetically engineered (GE) foods recently fell short of in the California Senate. And not for lack of trying, or lack of public support. A powerful coalition of moms, farmers, businesses and public interest groups joined together to push the bill forward; they filled the Capitol halls, offices and phone lines of State Senators for days leading up to the vote.
After several attempts to bring SB 1381 to a vote on the Senate floor, including convincing several Senators to abstain from voting, it narrowly failed to pass. Still, the movement to label GE food in California and beyond shows no sign of slowing or backing down.

Photos: Wyoming Cowboys beat Colorado State 22-19
Posted by mleyba on 2011-12-03 19:20:46 tags: Photo
FORT COLLINS — A disheartening season had a predictably gut-wrenching finish for Colorado State this afternoon at Hughes Stadium, with a 22-19 loss to rival Wyoming in the annual Border War. An announced crowd of 17,207 saw a competitive game, one that CSU led in the fourth quarter before falling to its eighth consecutive loss. Colorado State finished 3-9, for the third consecutive year, under embattled coach Steve Fairchild. New athletic director Jack Graham is expected to make a decision soon on whether Fairchild will retain his job.

Legendary pianist Richard Clayderman on his likes, music and tours
Call him the Prince of Romance or Phiphi, for world acclaimed pianist Richard Clayderman it's the love of the people for his music that matters most.
Soothing music
But going back to his title, Prince of Romance, he says music is the representation of his self. "I am a calm person and through my music I attempt to soothe the minds of my audience."
On his first-ever performance with santoor player Rahul Sharma, Richard was floored seeing the 3000-odd audience at an auditorium in Mumbai. "After Mumbai this is the second Indian city I am visiting and I seriously hoped there was a sea here," says Richard, who loves to jog by the sea as a fitness regimen.
Richard who is concentrating more on music tours these days says, "It is most important to keep fit. And when we are touring different countries it's the fitness of the mind that allows me to play with ease." Richard was in town for a concert called Milan hosted by Tata Teleservices.
Richard's first lessons on the piano happened when he was barely six.
"It was my father who introduced me to the piano and since then I have made the piano my life, I learnt classical music till about 15-16 years," recollects Richard. And he quickly adds, "I became a grandfather when I was 39."
Richard says he was lucky that when he started playing as there was no contemporary pianist. "But like French men I married early and had to stick to the piano to earn a living and support my family. Now we have loads of amazing pianists across the world," says Richard honestly.
Richard who plays a lot of the ABBA songs, besides his own extempore compositions, says, "It is a challenge for me to transform the ABBA lyrics into melodies. I enjoy taking up such challenges and the audience loves it."
A serious shopper Richard heard of a flea market in the city and was hoping to visit the place.
"I love shopping and my wife loves this trait of mine. Shopping relaxes me," admits Richard who is a disciplined well-organised man. Richard is also the first living pianist to have a stamp to his credit. China unveiled a stamp a few months back to mark his 200th performance in the country. "It is an honour and I sent a couple to my mother who is delighted about it," he says.
Besides his music, family and dog, Richard seems to have a weakness for desserts, "no matter what I do, I cannot stay away from the desserts section in a menu," he laughs.

Everyone knows Hansel and Gretel. Hansel's the squatty kid with a tuna can strapped over his mouth to prevent it from shattering everything around him and Gretel's the tall, pink-haired schoolgirl in the sailor suit, attacking bullies with her bamboo sword. At least that's Junko Mizuno's version!
In this twisted take on the classic fairy tale, the kids' parents run the mountain grocery store, fielding visits from the green girls who grow spinach from their scalps and the 40-foot-tall piglet who slices cuts to order off his big belly. More madness comes with the arrival of Queen Marilyn and her insidious black magic! Can the kids save the day?
This novel represents a new phase in Mizuno's art, one marked by psychedelic hues that give the arresting story the feel of a dark dream. This tale from the master of the cute and the grotesque is color illustrated throughout.

Michele Liberis, the former Cash4Gold employee being sued by that company based on her "10 Confessions" posting, today filed a "Motion to Vacate and Set Aside" the default that Cash4Gold was granted against her earlier this year. In her motion, Liberis states that the default "was improper and should be deemed void," given that it was based on a claim that she hadn't responded to Cash4Gold's initial suit against her. Liberis had, in fact, replied to the company's written questions, setting forth her "unequivocal and explicit denials" of Cash4Gold's allegations against her.

According to the Mansfield News Journal, Margaret never ordered the datebook, yet Sears sent her one anyway and put it on her Sears charge card. Her local store won't accept returns on mail-order merchandise and she refuses to pay shipping to return it. Over the years, the balance has ballooned to $130 which doesn't faze Margaret who is spending over $200 in fees to file her lawsuit. Details, inside…

Baseball's brightest gather to dissect the game |
Written by Admin |
Thursday, 07 March 2013 14:16 |
PHOENIX (AP) - The Miguel Cabrera versus Mike Trout debate for AL MVP last season thrust the idea of advanced baseball statistics into the public consciousness, pitting old-school thought against new-school ideas to decide the game's best player. The debate still rages, even after Cabrera won the award. This weekend in Phoenix, some of the game's brightest minds - team executives, statisticians, economists and more - have gathered to take a deeper look into the numbers behind the box score. The second Analytics Conference, put on by the Society for American Baseball Research, is providing a forum for everyone from club executives to college students to discuss and develop new ways to examine the game. Says SABR president Vince Gennaro, ``This conference is about sharing viewpoints, and in the process of doing so, elevating our understanding of the game.'' |

Paul Baltzer
Helen Baltzer
I was wondering if you could help me. I am searching for genealogy purposes a first cousin of mine, Helen Sara Baltzer who was born in 1908 in Lorain, Ohio and passed away in the 1960�s around Seymour/North Vernon, Indiana area. She was most likely living with her sister in law, Laura Funke (Cassidy) who lived at 512 1/2 Hoosier, North Vernon, IN and also 619 2nd Street in North Vernon, IN around that time frame. Helen was never married nor had kids and had a nickname of "Bobbi" and probably worked as a waitress. Her remains were probably handled by David Funeral Homes, which was acquired by Dove-Sharp & Rudicel Funeral Homes, who I have tried to contact. I can't request a death certificate, because I am not direct family. I have tried online resources such as Ancestry.com and Find a Grave without success and was hoping for local guidance.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time,
Paul Baltzer
