CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — Northern Iowa scored on four of its first five possessions, then held on to beat North Dakota State 23-13 Saturday in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
Northern Iowa (5-2, 3-1), which has won three straight games, intercepted North Dakota State quarterback Ryan Mertens four times and recovered a fumble. The Panthers kept the Bison out of the end zone until midway though the fourth quarter when Mertens hit Kole Heckendorf on a 7-yard fade.
North Dakota State (3-4, 1-3) lost for the fourth time in five games.
Pat Grace threw for 149 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game in the second half with a leg injury. He completed 12 of 23 passes, including a 35-yard touchdown to D.P. Eyman early in the second quarter, helping the Panthers to a 23-6 lead at the half.
Corey Lewis scored UNI's first touchdown on a 25-yard run with 5:38 left in the first quarter. It came on the first play after Jarred Herring's 70-yard kickoff return. Lewis finished with 64 yards on 13 carries.
Billy Hallgren kicked three field goals in the first half, including a career-best 47-yarder. His final kick of the half, a 21-yarder with five seconds left, capped a six-play, 50-yard drive.
NDSU struggled offensively all game. The Bison came in averaging 178 yards rushing but were held to just 99 yards on the ground. Pat Paschall ran 16 times for 57 yards.
Heckendorf scored NDSU's only touchdown with 9:09 left to play. He finished with 55 yards on five catches.
Mertens was 14-for-33 for 128 yards.

Jane Neill had a kiss to remember, even if she says the infamous smooch might make her husband a tad bit jealous.
"The highlight was a kiss on the lips," Jane Neill said about meeting musician and legendary guitarist Les Paul. "I have a picture of it, too."
Jane Neill, and her husband, Tom Neill, have seen Paul in concert several times. They both had high praises for the "Wizard of Waukesha."
"He was just a wonderful man. He always remembered his roots, and he was personable," Jane Neill said. "The times we met him in New York, he would remember you months and months later when you would see him here. He always made you feel so special."
Jane Neill shared her story while attending a private gala for the kickoff for Waukesha GuitarTown Thursday evening.
because the Milwaukee suburb is the The famous musician is known for inventing the solid body electric guitar, as well as other inventions.
GuitarTown features 10-foot fiberglass Gibson Les Paul guitars, as well as some normal-sized guitars, designed by local and national artists and displayed throughout downtown. The public art project will close on June 9, Paul's birthday.
Paul never forgot his roots, Tom Neill said, and always remembered Waukesha. Paul, who died in August 2009, would have loved seeing the Wisconsin community become a GuitarTown.
"He would be just so proud," said Tom Neill, who clerk/treasurer for the city of Waukesha. "He always highlighted Waukesha when you went to see him in New York."
GuitarTown Brings Wisconsin Native Home
Alicia Lemke, a Madison native, is based out of New York City. But Waukesha GuitarTown brought her home to her roots as she performed with the Les Paul Trio during the gala event. She also plans to take the stage Friday night during the public unveiling of the guitars.
"There is a rich history of people who come from Wisconsin – Les Paul being a major one of those," Lemke said. "I think that is a really nice nod to the fact that not everybody in music comes from the coasts. A lot of really incredible contributors to rock and roll and music at large come from the Midwest. I think it is important. … Midwest needs to represent too."
Lemke said she was more and more impressed with Waukesha and its GuitarTown plans as the evening at the gala progressed. She was especially enamored by the large guitars that will be on display.
"They are gorgeous," Lemke said. "Every single guitar is absolutely beautiful and so unique."
Not Without Hard Work
In a matter of months, the committee that was running the project found sponsors, artists, approved designs and did the work needed to plan the celebration weekend. They faced criticism over how the project was handled, but in the end, the guitars are here.
Norm Bruce, owner of , said it was worth the hard work, calling the project "fantastic."
"I think it makes Waukesha stand out like we want it to stand out," Bruce said.
Waukesha County Executive Dan Vrakas described the project's turnout as "phenomenal."
"It is the result of a lot of hard work that has come together," Vrakas said. "It is also the beginning of what I see as the next phase for Waukesha.
"I just couldn't be prouder of the fact that people are recognizing how extraordinary Les Paul was and the fact that Gibson is involved," he added. "It is just going to be wonderful."
Mayor Jeff Scrima, a key player to the GuitarTown project, was the one who reached out to Gibson. He said the project was a collaborative effort and that the city is "very grateful" to Gibson.
And now, Waukesha residents will get to experience the large-scale public art project that has been talked about for months.
"I think it the experience," said Scrima, encouraging people to attend the opening events. "Citizens will most enjoy the experience of the gala, being able to meet people from Gibson, being able to meet some of the national musicians that are here and then the experience tomorrow night on the streets."
Friday's Public Celebration
Ready to walk around downtown Waukesha and check out the guitars? Here's where they are all located:
The kickoff event begins at 5:30 p.m. Friday at the Five Points in downtown Waukesha, which is being set up as the main stage. The Les Paul Trio will take the stage at 6 p.m. and the Sam Llanas Band will play with Richie Furay and Rusty Paul at 8:30 p.m.

New Burger Joint @ Yonge & St. Clair - BYO Artery widener!
A new place has opened where the Retro Burger used to be.
Read the menu here: Bewarned, there is a bacon, fudge and sea salt milkshake on the list.
Retro Burger
1450 Yonge St, Toronto, ON M4T 1Y5, CA
I passed by this place yesterday and was curious about it.
"Beer chocolate chili"? That sounds intriguing enough to get as a topping. I might spit it out, but I do want to taste it.
There's a not-so-good review of it in this thread:
re: TorontoJo
Well you order a double burger with fresh ground beef (think 80/20 min fat, bacon, cheese, and caramelized onions) and don't think its gonna be greasy?
Went to today, good burger, loved the flavour. I only had a cheeseburger with onions, mustard and ketchup with fries. Only wish they had relish, as a condiment. (what is so wrong with it on a burger? BP guy is ridiculous about it, hint you're not in the US anymore).
Liked the fries but could of done with a little less herb flavouring, but that's just me. They were nice and crispy and really liked them.
I'm a great fan of gridled burgers with fresh meat, given a choice I'd prefer Burger Priest but this is great alternative if you are sick of charbroiled frozen patties. Actually there is no choice if your option is frozen.
I ate there with my husband last week. Super-delicious. The burgers were fresh and juicey and meaty…the way a burger should be. I had mine with cheese, chipotle mayo, and the best carmalized onions I've had in a loooong time. I really hope people visit this place so it stays around for a while. I know I'll be back.
I enjoy the Holy Chucks! Went for the first time on Saturday, craved it for a few days and went back on Wednesday.
I'm not into the crazy big burgers so I stick with the cheeseburgers and a few toppings. It is pretty delicious. I'm still on the fence about the fries. They are well cooked but sometimes I don't want the herby goodness that they put on it. Totally a personal preference.
The owner seems nice and open to feedback which is always good.
I live not far from Yonge/St Clair and I have a feeling this will quickly become my local burger spot.
re: wontonfm
I won't see you there.
Adequate burger but very high price for what you get. Fries were pathetic - soggy and little taste.
I have to admit though, the lamb burger was quite enjoyable - fresh mint taste. Also a noticeable lamb taste - so it can't have been Ontario lamb - this version had far too much flavour - so given their claim that NONE of their meat has been frozen, I'm curious about the source.
And I'm teed off that they didn't honour the discount coupon - could have been a mistake but I figured out later that I'd been charged the 'full' amount - but didn't take a receipt so couldn't prove it.
re: estufarian
re: callitasicit
I have tried both the Bacon, Fudge, and Sea Salt and the Reese's Pieces and Banana shakes. The bacon one was good on one sip but then a bit too much. Maybe I'm just tiring of bacon in *everything*. Reese's Pieces was excellent. Both very thick.
In related news, a group of friends and I conducted a blind taste test between the Holy Chuck double cheeseburger and the one from The Burger's Priest. We were all impressed by how similarly excellent both were. By a 3 - 2 vote we preferred Holy Chuck. A sixth taster arrived ten minutes late and independently chose the Burger's Priest burger.
Nearly a tie but still remarkable, I think.
Holy Chuck
1450 Yonge Street, Toronto, ON M4T 1Y5, CA
Having moved jobs into the area I am really enjoying the fact that I no longer have the usual six food court/power centre choices and took advantage of Holy Chuck yesterday. I visited after the lunch rush and ordered a cheeseburger and fries along with a Coke to stay. As I was about to eat my recommended daily intake of calories (with a substantial amount of them stemming from fat) in one sitting, I knew that sugar and caffeine were going to be needed to keep me awake through the afternoon.
My burger looked much like the ones I'd been served at Burger's Priest although my the cheese never melted fully. I don't know if that's because my BP meals have always been consumed off-site after travelling some distance in a paper bag or not but I thought it'd be worth mentioning. As such, the cheese had a pronounced flavour that seemed to cut the burger's greasy richness somewhat, kind of like how it does on a Big Mac.
I appreciate burgers grilled on a flat top. The crust that forms on a burger cooked this way is something quite special and that on my Holy Chuck cheeseburger delivered. Beneath it, tender meat still a tiny bit pink sat on a soft, sweet bun that I believe was supplied by Weston's. I also enjoyed my fries, although I found them quite salty. Their herbed flavour lent some sort of relief to the guilt of eating such an outrageously unhealthy lunch, however I didn't finish them.
I will go back to Holy Chuck but not for a few months as their price structure makes it prohibitive to enjoy their product any more frequently. Perhaps that's for the best, given how sinfully unhealthy this place's food is.
I was there today. This is a summary I provided to a friend of mine who shares my passion for burgers, and pension for eating them medium rare. It was done as a +/- to Burgers Priest:
Holy Chuck:
Nice space with good seating, flat screen on the wall, a comfy place to eat so you don't have to eat in your car +1 HC
Service was good and prompt, no long line +1 HC
Bun – I would call this a draw. Both use basically a wonder bread bun. Draw
Meat - This is a pretty tough call. The meat was good. I would say on par with BP. Flavour was similar and also no additives. Just meat and salt. BUT IMHO there was a touch too much salt. This is the kind of thing that can be a bit different each time depending on who prepares it. I just felt it was a touch to salty, and have never felt that about BP. +1 BP (but not by much)
Toppings – I had their signature one which is just processed cheese fried onions and Bacon – Bacon was not as good as BP. Onions were good. Cheese was processed cheese. BUT IMHO there was too much cheese for the burger and was left with the overwhelming flavour of cheese as being dominant in the sandwich. +1 BP
Fries – crispy well done as I like them. Again maybe too much salt (maybe it is just me) Draw
Cooked to order? - Really good job here. Ordered Medium Rare – received exactly med rare. Juicy pink and slightly red meat. +1 HC
Price – I suppose the best way to put it, is that neither is a real value. DBL w cheese and bacon , fries and drink = $16 tax in. I think the equivalent at BP is around $14. BUT IMHO it is a wash. More expensive location, better facilities, comfortable and clean with washrooms all has a price. Draw
So there you go. Basically the result is that if Burger Priest could cook to order as they used to, I am confident that it would be better (not by a huge amount mind you but still win). However, work in location, space, service, comfort I think HC is a good offering and certainly competes. A worthy alternative if you are in that area.
This has been Dining with LaRue.

It is pretty sad to see that is not just America which is sending home PhDs that could improve the country. The United Kingdom has been doing the same, which is bad news for Britain's economy in the long run.
Motes and beams, I just don't get it. Conditions in some countries are so rotten that a significant portion of their citizens would face possible death and imprisonment to live in the US rather than stay in the country of their birth, but it is the US that has to face the critisism on this matter. Believe me, these migrants contributed mightily to the rotten conditions back home, even if it was by omission. We have just seen in the Arab world what is possible if the citizens of a country manage to find their collective spine, even if they manage to stuff it up afterwards.
"The worst thing would be to cherry-pick, doing the popular and easy part (the H-1Bs) now, while leaving the 11m still in the shadows."
No. The worst thing would be to do nothing at all, letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Build a fence - no wait - appropriations were provided for in 2006. Still no fence. Please make sure that you make an exception to prevailing laws - that i might choose to disregard - whatever they might be. Thanks for your assistance.
Let them stay, Let them in!
Immigration is popoluar issue for the developped country. Maybe the cause is so complex.
"Spain's former Prime Minister Zapatero having convinced himself that he has formed an axis of powers with Madrid, Paris, Berlin and Moscow against London, the English speaking hub of the Anglo Celtic nations of the United Kingdom and the United States (and by extension Australia, Canada, Ireland New Zealand and Singapore) also went on to rally a Hispanic axis making up of Asunción, Bogotá, Caracas, Buenos Aires, Lima, Montevideo and Quito to challenge Washington with a vengeance.
Vincent Fox, hero to all those who blame the United States of America for their own inadequacies and failures (along with the current President Calderòn) has a megalomaniacal aspiration to go down in history as the dauntless statesman accountable for the break-up and ultimate demise of Anglo-dominated America and Canada.
(Killing the geese that lay the golden eggs and cutting off one's nose to spite one's face all at once)
Reinforcing la "Alianza Estratégica" (strategic alliance) with México meant covertly encouraging, aiding and abetting Mexicans in their mission to reacquire the northern half of Mexico (Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Utah) and take revenge by infiltrating "illegal immigrants" (similar to the Islamists' attempt to saturate Australia with "refugees" prior to 9/11) to become fifth columnists using the Spanish language as the weapon to divide and eventually galvanize separatist movements across America in a massive scheme to destroy the Anglo-Celtic built society from within, not dissimilar to what de Gaulle tried to do to Canada with Québec in 1967."
With ostensible friends like these, perhaps America needs erstwhile reluctant enemies of the Warsaw Pact
Well, no. "The Pew Hispanic Center reports that of those here now illegally, 33% have not finished 9th grade and are functionally illiterate in Spanish; 62% do not have a high school diploma."
Actually, it says:
"Some 52% of foreign-born Latino adults are high school dropouts, compared with 25% of the native born. And among Hispanic dropouts, some 21% of the native born have a GED, compared with just 5% of the foreign born."
I spent 22 years in academia and know rather a great deal about what students know and don't know. I also have family in Mexico. Yes, things are marginally better there than they were, apart from a body count in the tens of thousands from the ongoing war against the cartels and the torture inflicted by the government. Every civil society institution is corrupt from the cops to the courts to the army. Despite slight improvement in the economy, American workers still make nearly 10 times as much as Mexican workers. You actually don't think the vast majority of Mexicans wouldn't move to the US in a heartbeat so long as they could do so legally? Seguro de si! If you think otherwise you are seriously deluded, and that is putting it mildly.
I appreciate your reply. But I must disagree with most of it. I, personally, would not mind working in such occupations for more money than is currently offered. If we had proper border security, and no or few illegal migrants, wages in these professions would go up to levels where the native population would be willing to work. This is just logical. People will do these jobs for the correct amount of money. Also, as soon as cheap labour supply is reduced, then oftentimes the same businesses that want unlimited migration mechanise the farms and work traditionally done by illegals. This happened in California after 'operation wet-back' in the 1950s.
I do not think they contribute much to society, although certainly this has nothing to do with them as people, who are I'm sure perfectly good people. They are on low-wages, even as illegals get lots of government support, drain public services, and generally transform communities. If you are saying they don't commit much crime because they are illegal, will you admit that when they become legal, crime will go up?
It is not simple-minded. If we legalise them today, in twenty years we'll have to legalise whole new illegal population. If anything, it's humane to end this once and for all with a show of strength.
Obviously this would be politically impossible, but the simplest and best solution for the US would be to automatically grant visas to anyone who has no history of violent crime, trafficking, etc.. To allay fears of immigrants coming to live off the public dole, most social welfare programs could be reserved for citizens (and, perhaps, permanent residents).
Sounds like in your system, poor people are takers and the rich people are makers. This is the kind of thinking that empowers guys like Castro to come to power.
"The worst thing would be to cherry-pick, doing the popular and easy part (the H-1Bs) now, while leaving the 11m still in the shadows."
Interesting. When the debt ceiling was linked to getting fiscal reform it was referred to as a hostage situation. Would the same logic imply that we are holding the H1-Bs hostage when this could have otherwise been agreed upon. While I understand the point, I abhor hypocrisy and moving of the goalposts. Something Obama and friends do over and over again while the public can't see through it since they act like the party of the hipster in the apple mac v. PC commercials...
Immigration Reform is a Job creator for the rich world
Just to add to my point earlier, the US & Europe will benefit from a much more evenly developed world, it means more people will be able to buy the products we produce(hence more jobs in the US for native citizens), and we can also export more of our services like higher education, i.e. establish satellite campuses of US universities overseas so more of their poor can be educated at an affordable cost, then stay in their country and help develop their country.
Clearly all of the world's 7 billion people cannot all live in the US or Europe. Instead of making these 2 regions overpopulated while leaving other parts of the world increasingly destitute, the more sustainable way to develop would be to raise the standard of living in many more parts of the world.
I agree. I think immigration contributes to the continued and worsening lopsided development of the world. When we suck away all the best brains and able bodies from 3rd world countries, the only ones left are the poor, sick, old, weak, corrupt and criminally inclined. Just look at Mexico, no one's left to fight the drug cartels, or India, no good people around to run the country so it's run by the weak and corrupt. Now many of China's monied elites are escaping to the west too, taking with them billions in ill-gotten gains, leaving behind a country in highly polluted and corrupt conditions which they helped create.
This self-serving immigration policy of let-them-all-in is directly resulting in continued and ever more lopsided development of the world. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
Did you read the article? Mexican immigration is at an all-time low due to economic conditions, not law enforcement.
And can you have an ounce of empathy for the people who come here? They're fleeing some screwed up countries for a land of opportunity. Hell, if I had to break some silly laws to put food on the table, I would. Kind of like yours and mine ancestors did.
I am afraid that American citizens and legal residents have been overlooked in the name of greed and commerce. We must face the fact, one way or another that a good majority of politicians have their grimy hands in the cookie jar. The cookie jar is full of wealthy special interest cash and all the special favors. What we really need is the reenactment of the 1924 QUOTA SYSTEM, so every country got a fair share of the immigration pie? Instead what we now have is abject poverty, uneducated, uncontrollable FAMILY CHAIN MIGRATION that is causing hundreds of billions of dollars taken by the IRS to pay for the children's, children of the great Reagan amnesty disaster. And if Obama get his way, we will be facing the same possibility and consequences? If the American people of any political membership think that for one bloody minute people will not be clamoring to arrive here for any comprehensive immigration deadline, you really have been drinking Cool Aid laced with a sleeping draft of Ambian?
These morons in Washington refuse to take the pressure off, by voting in the "Legal Workforce Act" to aid in closing a loophole of illegal workers, stealing some of the 23 million American jobs. Likewise the Birthright Citizenship bill that if passed would stop the growing billions of dollars taking from American taxpayers payroll checks. This financial support for the new citizenship of illegal alien children that taxpayers cover because the stupid court system has fabricated that not only the descendants of slaves, but infants of illegal migrants and immigrants have a right to citizenship status? The cost is growing in medical care, school education and other benefits, destroying our own children's future, because the majorities of these kids come from non English speaking families and are retarding nationwide school education performance. Go to California where the children enrolled there have greater proportions of foreign nationals than citizen offspring.
Call or otherwise contact the Senate office or the Congressional House of Representatives by going to United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Government pages should also be in your telephone book and switchboard operator will connect you directly with your desired party.
President and "Bi-Partisan" Group Want to Reward Criminals With path to Citizenship
by Stephen Frank on 01/30/2013 of California Political News & Views
Who says crime does not pay. All you have to do issue stolen or false ID, steal jobs, health care and education from honest people. Lie on job applications—all of which would put us in jail. Do these criminals acts long enough and the President and self proclaimed Republican and Democrat "leaders" want to reward illegal aliens for a lifetime of crime with a path to U.S. citizenship.
If you murder enough people maybe the same folks would give you a job in law enforcement. Honest immigrants are demeaned by this effort. Why apply for citizenship—violate the law and you can do it anyway. Oh, this group says a requirement of "citizenship" is to learn English. Does that mean they will stop publishing ballots and other government forms in dozens of languages?
Thats why those brave people - with a sense of enterprenurialship can't make it in Mexcico - how naive. Carlos slim lives in Mexico and he's the richest man in the world - facts - facts - none in your argument.
Most of the LATINOS who come to this country are between 20-30 years old, with some younger or older. And the LATINOS you speak of dropping out of high school, getting pregnant, and getting food stamps are young kids who, for the most part, have already grown up in THIS country and are of the American culture. If they are undocumented, chances are they came when they were younger and were capable of growing up in the culture. They don't have the mentality of an immigrant who works their ass off to get by in the country. If they are young immigrants, many times they go to school and drop out because their priorities are working and being with the family trying to make life a bit easier for themselves by getting a job, which is much more rewarding than staying in school. AND they continue to speak Spanish because they have to communicate with their families, NOT because they adamantly choose to negate speaking English. If you're young, in school, surrounded by friends, living in the American culture, English is not hard to learn and you'll be forced to use it. Those having troubling learning and speaking English are mostly young adults or adults who are more confident in Spanish but that does not mean they, too, negate speaking/learning English. They do.

North Carolina House Approves State Equity Crowdfunding Bill
Raleigh, North Carolina – North Carolina's House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed the Jump-Start Our Business Start-Ups Act to jumpstart equity crowdfunding within the state. The House approved House Bill 680 by a vote of 103 to 1. The bill now moves to the state senate.
House Bill 680 allows certain North Carolina businesses to raise funds by the sale of securities under certain circumstances by exempting the businesses from the registration and filing requirements of the North Carolina securities law. The bill allow funds to be raised in $2,000 increments up to $1 million. Up to $2 million could be raised if a business goes through additional disclosures.
"Businesses need access to capital," said State Rep. Tom Murry (R-Cary) who sponsored the bill. "That's what this bill is about." The crowdfunding provisions will expire July 1, 2017, with the expectation that the SEC would have implemented before then regulations to govern crowdfund investing under the federal JOBS Act.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
West Virginia American Water issued a precautionary boil water advisory Friday for approximately 200 customers in the Spanishburg and Gardner areas of Mercer County in the company's Bluestone water system.
The affected area includes all customers along Route 19 from the Route 10 intersection to the end of the system along Route 19, including all side roads off of this section of Route 19, water company officials said.

The old aphorism that "you snooze, you lose" doesn't apply to students who stay up late to cram for a test or finish a class project. New research shows that sacrificing sleep for school work is a bad trade.
Researchers from UCLA's Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior enlisted students from three Los Angeles high schools to help them figure out whether academic performance suffered the day after a late night of studying.

Carlos Reygadas admits that when he first heard the concept behind the new movie "Revolución" — a compilation of 10 short films by 10 different Mexican directors — he felt "a little reluctant" to join in.
Omnibus movies, he knew, often add up to less than the sum of their parts. And the theme of this particular film came spring-loaded with significance: the legacy of the Mexican Revolution of 1910-1920. Furthermore, the movie's release would be timed to coincide with this year's heavily hyped centennial celebrations taking place on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border.

John Jervis - Early Life:
John Jervis - Early Career:
The next five years saw Jervis serve aboard several vessels operating in the Caribbean. Rated as a midshipman, he worked to learn his chosen trade under the guidance of Townshend and Admiral Thomas Cotes. Returning to Britain in November 1754, Jervis received an assignment to HM Yacht William and Mary early the following year. While aboard, he served under navigation expert Captain John Campbell. This period also saw him pass his lieutenant's exam on January 2, 1755. Ordered to HMS Nottingham (60), Jervis joined Vice Admiral Edward Boscawen's fleet on the North American Station. While aboard, Nottingham took part in Boscawen's attempts to block the reinforcement of New France during the early part of the French & Indian War. After a brief stint aboard HMS Devonshire (74), Jervis received orders to join Captain Charles Saunders' HMS Prince (90) in the Mediterranean.
John Jervis - French & Indian War:
Following Saunders to HMS Culloden (74) in November 1756, Jervis was given temporary command of HMS Experiment (24) the following year. During this time, he fought an indecisive action against a French privateer off Cape Gata. The next several months saw Jervis rejoin Saunders as well as command the newly captured Foudroyant (80) on a voyage back to Britain. Serving as first lieutenant of Prince, he took part in Saunders and Major General James Wolfe's expedition against Quebec in 1759. Crossing the Atlantic, Jervis was given temporary command of HMS Porcupine (16) on May 15. In this role, he distinguished himself by assisting in moving troops upriver past the city prior to the Battle of Quebec on September 13. In recognition of his efforts, he was promoted to commander and given HMS Scorpion (14).
After a brief period commanding HMS Albany (14) both in North America and in the Channel Squadron, Jervis was promoted to captain in October 1760. Given the frigate HMS Gosport (44), he commanded the ship until the end of the war in 1763. With the peace, Jervis found himself on half-pay without a ship until 1769 when he assumed command of HMS Alarm (32). Operating largely in the Mediterranean, Alarm hosted the Duke of Gloucester during the winter of 1771/2. After Alarm was paid off in May 1772, Jervis and his friend Captain Samuel Barrington traveled widely across Europe. Visiting Russia, Scandinavia, the Netherlands, and France, the two made extensive notes regarding each region's harbors as well as created their own highly detailed charts of the their coasts.
John Jervis - American Revolution:
With the beginning of the American Revolution in 1775, Jervis was ordered to HMS Kent (74). Finding that the ship was not seaworthy, he was soon given command of Foudroyant instead. With the French entry into the conflict following the 1778 Treaty of Alliance, the war widened to European waters. Sailing as part of Admiral Augustus Keppel's Channel Fleet, Jervis took part in the inconclusive First Battle of Ushant on July 27. Continuing to serve in the fleet, Jervis took part relieving Gibraltar in 1780 and 1781. The next year saw him capture Pégase (74) off Brest on April 19. Wounded in the battle, Jervis was knighted for his efforts. Later that year, he participated in Admiral Richard Howe's third relief of Gibraltar as well as the Battle of Cape Spartel. In December, Jervis was made a commodore and directed to take a squadron to the West Indies. These orders were revoked before he sailed due to ongoing peace talks.
John Jervis - Peacetime:
With the end of the war, Jervis married his cousin, Martha Parker. He also embarked on a political career which saw him elected to Parliament from Launceston in 1783. Initially a supporter of William Pitt the Younger, his voting record proved largely independent. Elevated to rear admiral on September 24, 1787, he hoisted his flag aboard HMS Carnatic (74). This assignment proved brief, though after a short time ashore he returned to active duty three years later aboard HMS Prince (98). Though Jervis remained in Parliament, he increasingly limited his comments to naval matters. In 1793, with the British entrance in the Wars of the French Revolution, Jervis was promoted to vice admiral and dispatched to the Caribbean with orders to attack French colonies.
John Jervis - At War:
Cooperating with ground forces led by Major General Sir Charles Grey, Jervis' fleet succeeded in restoring royalist rule to Guadeloupe, Martinique, and St. Lucia. Though Guadeloupe was later lost to French counterattacks, the expedition was largely judged to be a success. Returning to Britain, some of the campaign's luster was lost due to arguments over prize money. On June 1, 1795, Jervis received command of the Mediterranean Fleet and travelled to Gibraltar to hoist his flag in HMS Victory (104). Establishing a close blockade of Toulon, Jervis also directed part of his force to aid Austrian troops in Italy. With the land campaign going poorly, he was forced to withdraw from the Mediterranean in late 1796 and base the fleet in the Tagus River.
John Jervis - Battle of Cape St. Vincent:
In wake of the British withdrawal, Admiral Don José de Córdoba elected to move his fleet of 27 ships of the line from Cartagena through the Straits of Gibraltar to Cadiz in preparation for joining with the French at Brest. This movement coincided with Jervis putting to sea with 10 ships of the line. While at sea, he was reinforced by Rear Admiral William Parker who brought five ships of the line from the Channel Fleet. On February 14, 1797, Jervis sighted the Spanish fleet off Cape St. Vincent. Despite being outnumbered, he elected to strike at the enemy. In the resulting Battle of Cape St. Vincent, Jervis won a clear victory and captured four Spanish ships of the line. The battle was highlighted by Commodore Horatio Nelson violating orders and wearing ship to engage the Spanish vanguard. This action directly led to the capture of two enemy vessels.
John Jervis - Mediterranean Fleet:
A morale-boosting victory, both Jervis and Nelson were hailed as heroes with the former being elevated to Baron Jervis of Meaford and Earl St. Vincent. In addition, he received the thanks of Parliament and was given a gold medal by the King George III. Having defeated the Spanish, Jervis began a blockade of Cadiz. Over the next two years, he maintained the blockade while also directing operations in the Mediterranean and working to improve the Royal Navy's facilities at Gibraltar. In 1798, St. Vincent dispatched Nelson with 15 ships of the line to intercept French forces bound for Egypt. Locating the enemy fleet at Aboukir Bay, Nelson soundly defeated it at the Battle of the Nile on August 1/2. Promoted to admiral on February 14, 1799, St. Vincent resigned his post due to ill health and returned to Britain that June.
John Jervis - Channel Fleet & First Lord of the Admiralty:
Recovering his health, St. Vincent took command of the Channel Fleet on April 26, 1800. Flying his flag from HMS Namur (90), and later HMS Ville de Paris (110), he began a close blockade of Brest. Using the charts he created during his travels with Barrington, St. Vincent implored his commanders to be aggressive in maintaining a tight blockade. A strict disciplinarian, he forbade the fleet's officers from sleeping ashore or its ships putting into Spithead without written orders. Despite this rigidity, St. Vincent took great care in regard to living conditions for his sailors. Dramatically improving the fleet's diet and hygiene, he was able to greatly reduce disease in the Channel Fleet.
In 1801, new Prime Minister Henry Addington selected St. Vincent to serve as First Lord of the Admiralty. Leaving the Channel Fleet, he took office and began a campaign to eliminate corruption from the Royal Navy and its dockyards. Conducting a sweeping investigation, St. Vincent's Commission of Inquiry ultimately produced twelve reports outlining corruption in various parts of the service. An avid reformer, St. Vincent worked to improve port facilities, naval hospitals, and invested in new technology such as Marc Isambard Brunel and Samuel Bentham's machinery for making blocks. A believer in promotion by merit, he also sought to prevent the advancement of officers through the use of influence and social class. Having made numerous enemies, including Pitt, due to his efforts, St. Vincent left office in May 1804 after Addington's government fell.
John Jervis - Return to Sea & Final Years
On November 9, 1805, St. Vincent resumed command of the Channel Fleet. Though flying his flag from HMS Hibernia (110), the aging admiral was forced to spend much of his time living ashore at Rame. During this time, St. Vincent continued to argue for reform of the promotion system and stated that non-flag officers should be barred from sitting in Parliament. Retiring in 1807, he became known as a philanthropist and donated money to numerous causes. Though entitled to a seat in the House of Lords, St. Vincent seldom appeared and often limited his comments to military matters. Made acting Admiral of the Fleet in May 1814, he was confirmed in the post by King George IV in January 1820. St. Vincent died on March 13, 1823 and was buried in his family mausoleum in Staffordshire. A monument in his honor was later erected at St. Paul's Cathedral in London.

Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Robust, well-made case and keyboard. Versatile landscape/portrait/tilted options with 4 options for tilt when using the keyboard. Rubberised outer layer is grippy but so far seems to be grime repellent. Charging cable (included) hides in a covered slot behind the screen. Soft keyboard cover that can be used when typing minimises coffee spills or the like if it's a potential problem. Also acts as a protective layer to avoid keyboard scratches on the iPad screen although it may not be necessary as there is normally a gap between keyboard and screen when the case is closed. Base has a magnetic switch to shut the iPad down when the case is closed.
Cons: Keyboard not quite as smooth as Apple's bluetooth models, but still perfectly useable. Latch to release the lid could be a wee bit bigger. Does not connect to iPad's bluetooth automatically, I have to delve into the Preferences to turn the keyboard 'on'. Mildly inconvenient, but not a deal-breaker. Combined weight quite heavy: 1079g but the iPad accounts for 591g so, again, not a problem. I would sooner have 'robust' than 'flimsy'.
Other: I have already recommended this model to friends. Love it!!
Involvement Level: Expert (understands the inner workings)
Pros: Robust, well made case and keyboard for my iPad2. Keys are not quite as smooth operating as on Apple bluetooth keyboards, but perfectly useable. Like the options for tilting and the stability when in use. The iPad is located nearer the center of gravity so there is no chance of it toppling backward (unlike other keyboard cases I've tried.) Black surface treatment is rubbery and grippy, not picking up dirt or scratches so far....appreciated.
Cons: Doesn't connect to the iPad automatically, I have to go into the Preferences and select the keyboard each time I want to use it. Mildly inconvenient, but not a deal-breaker. iPad is quite difficult to release from the cover, but I would sooner that than have it drop out too easily.
Other: Have already recommended it to friends with iPads.

As of September 2013 I am working at Facebook, based out of their London office. I was a founder of Monoidics Ltd, a software verification company which was acquired by Facebook in 2013. I am maintaining my connection to UCL and my Professor position, but am not taking new PhD students or postdocs.
I am a Professor of Computer Science at University College London, in the Programming Principles, Logic and Verification research group. I have worked on theoretical topics (e.g., on separation and bunched logics, on category-theoretic models...) and on automated tools for program verification and analysis (e.g., Smallfoot, Space Invader, Abductor). I like to think that fundamental theory, tool development and application can and even should play off one another via mutual feedback in computer science research, in a way reminiscent of the experimental method.

Damn, it sucks to watch other people packing up to go back. :) I'll
only be going back for a month max in December. I guess it's just as
well since I'll be graduating next year in July anyway. Anyway, I've
been busy these few days with my IE programming modules that I want to
get done before I go back. Oh well, at least I got some Cheetos today
at Coles. Mmm…Cheetos.

I have been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this blog. Thank you, I'll try and check back more often.
I don't believe I've seen this depicted an informative way before. You really have made this so much clearer for me. Thank you!
I've been browsing around #hostname and really am amazed by the good content here. I work the nightshift at my job and it really gets boring. I've been coming right here for the previous several nights and reading. I just wanted to let you know that I've been delighted with what I've seen and I look ahead to reading more.
Hey, I haven't checked in here for a while, but I will put you on my bloglist so I don't forget to check back.

While we all wish that the PlayStation Network, Qriocity, and Sony's websites had never been hacked, and we hope that this is a security lesson learned for the cloud-obsessed corporate world, the "Welcome Back!" package is pretty generous. Once the networks are back online, I'm sure a good number of us are going to thoroughly enjoy getting back to using our Sony devices again.
Below you'll find a complete list of everything Sony has announced thus far to be included in the PSN/Qriocity "Welcome Back" package. All of the items are free, and will hopefully ease the pain and hesitation customers may feel as they dip their toes back into the pool of Sony's online services. PSN users will most likely be able to download the package starting May 24th.
North American PlayStation Network (PSN) and Qriocity Customer Appreciation Program Details and Contents Two free PS3 games. They must be selected from the following list, and they must be downloaded within 30 days of the PlayStation Store going live. The free PS3 games have no expiration date.
- Dead Nation
- inFAMOUS
- LittleBigPlanet
- Super Stardust HD
- Wipeout HD + Fury Expansion Pack
- LittleBigPlanet (PSP)
- ModNation Racers
- Pursuit Force
- Killzone Liberation
100 Free PlayStation Home Virtual Items. If you have been missing PlayStation home, you'll be excited to know that you'll be getting not only 100 new unspecified virtual items to show off, but also a new Home Mansion personal Space and a new game, "Oobag's Alien Casino" will be released. 30 Days PlayStation Plus trial. If you aren't a PlayStation plus subscriber, you'll get a month of the service for free. PS+ is quite a good value, so this will be a nice introduction for many people.
60 Days PlayStation Plus extension. If you already have subscribed to PlayStation Plus, you will receive an automatic two month extension of your subscription.
Free movie rentals. Though the details are fuzzy, PlayStation Network (PSN) users will be able to rent "On Us" movies for one yet-to-be-announced weekend. Most likely this will be a weekend of free rentals for any Sony Pictures movie, but details are still forthcoming.
30 days & lost time for Music Unlimited. If you have subscribed to Music Unlimited, either basic or premium, you will not only be given make-up time for the days you lost, but an additional month extension to your subscription.
It should be noted that while the PSN/Qriocity "Welcome Back!" package is robust, much of it will not be available until the PlayStation Store is back online.

Paying AIG Counterparties 2X For Same Toxic Trash?
by bobswern, Sat Mar 21, 2009 at 11:44:45 PM EDT
This morning, Frank Rich asks us in his weekly NY Times column: "Has a 'Katrina Moment' Arrived?" There's a diary on the Daily Kos Rec List about this article as I write this. But, this diary is about a bit of new information relating to compensation received to date, and going forward, by entities such as AIG.
For the record, however, I would answer, "Yes," to Frank Rich's question.
But, I say that knowing that there may be an even bigger outrage behind the AIG story than just executive compensation issues. It may be somewhat of a scoop, too. Then again, maybe not. You tell me?

July 31, 2014
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – A little more than a month ago, a large-scale training exercise was held for agencies across the state leading up to Monday's ribbon cutting.
The state opened up the new Commonwealth Emergency Operations Center at Boone National Guard Center in Frankfort.
The hope is, the new $12 million facility will help speed response times and lead to better preparedness for a disaster.
"This is a facility that has the adequate space and size to bring a collaboration between Kentucky Emergency Management, the Kentucky National Guard and our state partners, " said Wayne Burd, Project Manager for Kentucky Emergency Management.
The new building received rave reviews in its state-of-the-art design and technologies.
But, as with anything brand new, there were a few bugs that had to be worked out prior to its opening.
Mostly federal funds were used to build the center, which took about three years to complete.

The Wizards today are holding exit interviews, but Gilbert Arenas did his talking last night following his team's loss to Boston.
I could do a bunch of translating, but Gilbert Arenas is always at his best in his own words, so let's let fly. …
On his expectations for his play next season: "To be honest, I want to lead the league in triple-doubles next season. I'm not gonna go out there and try to score 30. We have enough scorers on this team and I can dominate the game in other ways."
Arenas said he thinks Flip Saunders can definitely help the Wizards, and did his best to dispel the belief that he and the new coach could clash, given the laid-back Saunder's reported struggles with another eccentric player in Rasheed Wallace.
"I think it's going to be great. Everybody's going to respond. He's coming into a great situation. We are a playoff team. We showed it when we had the team back, what we did to Cleveland. He's coming into a great situation. There are no head cases. I know everyone thinks I'm gonna be this big head case, but I don't fight with anybody, I don't fight with the coaches. I don't say anything, just in the media. I'm just the hype man.
"It's all smoke and mirrors with me. Everyone looks at what I say from my blog and everyone thinks I'm this big headcase. I was watching Tony Kornheiser, and this interview with this lady and I'm just sitting there laughing because I'm like, wow, I can understand you attack the player, but don't attack my character, because that's not the person I am. I've never fought a player, never fist fight or argued. Never actually argued with a coach, that's just not me. I'm quiet, I work out real hard, and I just hype up games. That's what I am, I'm the hype man. I'm not the problem in the locker room.
"If that's going to be our coach, he's got a great sense. He's a very great X and O's guy coming out of timeouts. He's very offensive. I remember running against some of his plays with Troy Hudson and all of those guys, and they all succeeded. If those are the offensive plays we're running, I should be in the league in top assists.
"Next year, I'm trying to turn into a real point guard. Since, we didn't have a legit [shooting] guard, I took on the scoring mentality, especially in Eddie's system. Eddie's system was just two guard, two forwards and a center, it wasn't really no point guard, and no [shooting guard]. So, when Larry [Hughes] left, I was the only scorer at the guard position so I took that over the scoring position and [DeShawn Stevenson] took over the shooting and the passing. So, now we're coming into a regular system when I'm going to be the point guard, it's the my chance to really manage the team for the first time in my career.
"I averaged 10 assists in high school, in college I was a [shooting] guard, at Golden State they gave me the ball and that was my best assists year. In Eddie's system I was just a guard, so I scored. It was like one night I was the point guard, the next night Larry was the point guard. Then when D-Steve and Jarred [Jeffries] were here, I was the point and they were the floater. Now, [Flip] is going to put the ball in my hands and just let me run the team."
Arenas said he believes winning – and him playing – will repair his image and silence his critics, because he doesn't believe what he views as misconceptions started until he got hurt.
"When I was playing, there was no problem. For the last two years I've been hurt and suddenly I'm uncoacheable. How can I be uncoacheable when I haven't played? That's kinda funny, though. So, I just can't wait until training camp comes around and then see what everybody has to say then."
And in one last parting shot to his critics, Arenas took another chance to make the argument that he isn't a headcase or unmanageable player.
"Since we're talking last year, Eddie was never caught off guard by anything. He knew everything that was going on. I can say that. The day I came out against Milwaukee, he knew what was going on, he told me what time to come out. It's a business, I mean, it's what we do. I'm a controlled chaos. I'm controlled chaos. That's what it is with me. The only thing I ever did that Eddie didn't know I was gonna do was the trampoline dunk, and that was just spur of the moment because Shaq dared me. But I'm just a controlled chaos. It's all planned with me."
