Saving Water, Energy, and the Environment
Being Green is Green
An Integrated Approach to Sustainability – From the Start
At every industry event and in frequent conversations, an often-asked question among facilities professionals – you, the Buildings reader – is, "How can I get my hands around this whole environmental thing?"
You may not realize it, but you already are.
Every day in your building management practices, as well as in your construction and modernization project planning, you're confronting, questioning, and, yes, addressing the issues of environmental sensitivity. Sustainability is about energy efficiency, about workplace productivity. It's looking at cost and containment of resources, of the longevity and durability of products used in your facilities.
In other words, it's about performance.
Do you get sidetracked by what appears to be a "mystical" green philosophy? If so, ask yourself: Are you interested in best practices? In reducing costs – without sacrificing occupant comfort? Do you keep a close eye on energy costs, consumption, and the bottom line?
Of course you do.
Don't underestimate your influence on this legacy of the buildings in which you are involved. Get back to basics. Fundamental values are green, are sustainable, are realizable.
Think about your vantage point. You are already making a difference.

In January 2011, the New York Times noted in a series of articles that less than fifteen percent of Wikipedia contributors -- more likely, as little as nine percent -- were women. The news proved a wakeup call, and quickly resulted in efforts to improve that percentage. Over the last year, Sarah Stierch, a Community Fellow for the Wikmedia Foundation and Wikipedian in Residence at the Smithsonian Institution Archives is a (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:SarahStierch), has emerged as a central figure in those efforts.Stierch describes herself as a non-technical person who has found herself increasingly involved in technology and the free culture movements.

I was nonplussed about Facebook becoming a public company. Part of my reaction was due to the fact that I'd been expecting the IPO for some time. An even larger part is attributable to my deep-misgivings about Facebook, for all the usual reasons from privacy concerns to the amount of time it can suck up. But I took a while to realize the greatest source of my reaction: I've seen it all before.The year was 1999. I had newly discovered free and open source software (FOSS)), and was newly employed in a company on its cutting edge (or so I thought at the time). Eighteen year old coders were camping overnight in the boxes that office furniture came in -- not because it was crunch time, but...May 24, 2012 GMT
Whenever I review a new desktop environment, someone is sure to comment that desktops are obsolete. Apparently it has become the conventional wisdom that the future of computing lies in mobile devices. But, like all bits of conventional wisdom, that assumption deserves questioning, especially when it comes to interface design. So far, mobile interfaces have done little innovating, and mostly borrowed unthinkingly from traditional desktops.Enthusiasts always exaggerate the impact of new technologies, and mobile devices are no exception. As Larry Cafiero has pointed out repeatedly, while mobile devices are undoubtedly growing in number, traditional computers are not about to disappear...May 09, 2012 GMT
Sixteen months after its last release. OpenOffice.org has released version 3.4, its first as an Apache Incubator project. The release was covered matter of factly by The H (http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Apache-OpenOffice-3-4-0-debuts-1570353.html), and with a dash of skepticism by Brian Proffitt (http://www.h-online.com/open/news/item/Apache-OpenOffice-3-4-0-debuts-1570353.html). A week ago, it was even trash-talked by LibreOffice developer Michael Meeks (http://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2012-04-26-ooo-comparison.html), whose eagerness to discredit it was just a bit too obvious.I can't help wondering, though, whether this latest version is a release in the ordinary sense of...Apr 23, 2012 GMT
Today we have the naming of parts.-Henry ReedTitles come hard to me. I always avoid them until I've finished writing, and, even then, I have to agonize over them to make them even marginally suitable. Maybe that's why I'm fascinated at how projects and applications are named, a topic that has been in the news recently.What strategies are used for names? What are the dangers in a name? The ideal strategy? These little-discussed questions interest me because I'm constantly dealing with them in my own work.Because of my own difficulty with titles, I sympathize with those that choose a name that has no obvious connection with the project. Instead of hunting for a name that's both descriptive...Apr 18, 2012 GMT
I spent the last weekend at an art school graduation, surrounded by artists in various stages of their careers. Several times, I urged the advantages of an active online presence But, more often than not, those with whom I was talking balked at the idea, citing worries about copyright violation. Their reaction was a reminder of just how different the attitudes are in the free software and open source community from those of the general public -- and how hard that difference can be to overcome.Mind you, I sympathize with their concerns. Artists are miles away from a soulless corporation that could suck up the losses due to copyright violation. Many are near or below the poverty line. In...Apr 11, 2012 GMT
Usually, I'm not slow to give an opinion. However, after reading Ryan Funduk's "Our Culture of Exclusion" (http://ryanfunduk.com/culture-of-exclusion/), and its discussion of binge drinking at conferences, I realize that I don't know nearly enough to venture an opinion -- at least one that is worth reading, anyway. The most I can do is express the suspicion that Funduk might be right.The reason I can't address the question with any authority is that I spent the first decade of the millennium caring for my sick partner. She could neither travel nor drink for much of that time, so for the most part neither did I. And, since her death, I haven't really resumed either habit.If...Issue 161/2014

Only be cautious when booking a holiday especially when there are set dates as from personal experiences that this maybe over sold, what should have been a short vacation to Milan in August has now been arranged for November. This has cost far more than what was stated as having to pay for an extra day to accommodate the company's availability for flights and hotel.
I have been impressed up until that point with holiday I felt that more should have been done to protect the customers needs rather than having endless battles to try a rectify the problem myself?

Searching for Māori Land Records
Getting started
The following are brief notes to enable enquirers to "get started". For more detailed advice please consult the Māori Land Court.
There are three critical pieces of search information that are required to begin a search of Māori land. They are:
- The owner's name;
- The block name;
- The Māori Land Court District in which the land is situated.
Owner's name
The owner's name may appear to be self evident but researchers should be aware of the following. Many Māori in the past were known by aliases. Other Māori names were anglicised. Less frequently, children took the family names of their mother or the first name of their father as a surname.
A common way in the past that the Māori Land Court records might record an owner's name is: John Brown or Hone Brown or Hone Paraone or John Paraone.
Block name
Māori traditionally talk about having "shares in such and such a block". Block is defined in Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 as a whole parcel of land comprised and described in an instrument of title. Block name is the primary identifier for Māori. The Block name will be the original block name (such as the Puketapu block) given by the Crown or the Māori Land Court when land was originally granted.The Block name is the single most used identifier in researching Māori land.
A useful tool to search for Māori Blocks is the Māori Land Information Base operated by Te Puni Kokiri from information supplied by the Māori Land Court.
Māori Land Court district
It is important to know the Māori Land Court district that the land is situated in. Sometimes blocks in different districts may have the same or similar block names. For example, the block name Puketapu appears both in Taranaki and in Turangi.
Records of current title and ownership are now held in the Māori Land Court's National Index of the Māori Land Information System.
Prior to the establishment of this National Index in 1999, the Māori land records were held in binders (hard back files that hold lose leaf records) and were indexed alphabetically by block name. These binders provide the names of owners and references to the various partitions and/or successions that have taken place in the past.
Additional knowledge required
While block name is the primary identifier of Māori land, there have been (and still are) processes that have changed the original sizes, block names and ownerships that were originally granted to Māori. These processes are shares, partitions, consolidations, and Europeanisation of titles.
If the Māori Land Court tells you that LINZ has a record, you can order a copy of a land record from LINZ. You can also get help with land record research.
Types of records held by LINZ
LINZ holds a variety of land records. Find out about land record types LINZ is resonsible for.
In addition to the above, LINZ holds the following records that may assist you in your research:
Crown purchase deeds
These deeds are the Crown's record of land purchases that it made, including purchases of Māori land. In each case a deed was signed by the owners and the Crown.
Historically, the first Māori land purchase by the Crown was made in Auckland in 1840. The Crown continued thereafter to make purchases through its purchase officers. In the South Island purchases were of very large areas and except for specified Māori reserves the whole of this island was acquired from the Māori owners by the end of the nineteenth century. In the North Island purchases were of small discrete blocks.
The deeds are microfilmed and indexed by Māori block name. Copies of the deeds are available for viewing at LINZ regional offices.
Some North Island purchases have been reproduced in " Māori Deeds of Land Purchases in the North Island of New Zealand" Two volumes by H Hanson Turton 1877. These are commonly called Turton's Deeds.
The South Island purchases have been reproduced in "A Compendium of Official Documents Relative to Native Affairs in the South Island" Two volumes by Alexander Mackay 1873.
Crown grants
Once the Crown obtained its interest in Māori land whether by way of acquisition or raupatu (confiscation), it recorded subsequent sales of the land in Crown Grants. These grants provided the purchaser with documentary evidence of ownership.
Crown Grants are accessed via a nominal (name of grantee) index or regional office indices. As many recipients of Crown Grants were Māori, the indices are a useful tool for historic research.
Crown Grants were first issued under Royal Instructions of 1840 to Governor Hobson and later by legislation. They were granted from 1840 to 1880 although there were some Crown Grants granted as late as the 1890s. Crown Grants were overtaken by the issue of certificates of title and owners of Crown Grants were encouraged to surrender their grants for the more secure certificates of title issued from the 1870s onwards.
Provisional registers
In LINZ there exists many volumes of registers called Provisional Registers which were first established in 1871. When Freehold, Partition or other title orders of the Māori Land Court are first registered with LINZ under the Land Transfer Act, they are embodied in the Provisional Registers (PR).
Each title order is given a volume and folio number which along with the prefix "PR" can be used as a reference to access them. Almost all of these title orders are first generated by the Māori Land Court. Often copies of these are still held in the Māori Land Court where you can access them.
Against any Provisional Registration are entered memorials referring to documents containing information affecting the land or its ownership. These documents will lead researchers to other material and can be accessed through LINZ. Usually, where the land is surveyed and the fees paid, a full Certificate of Title (CT) is issued for the land. The Title will show the prior PR reference on it. The PR will also be noted in a memorial of an new title references arising from it.
Tips on searching for Māori land records
One of the biggest frustrations when searching for records is not knowing whether to contact the Māori Land Court or LINZ first.
- If the description of the land you are searching contains a Māori Block name as part of the description, then search Te Puni Kokiri's Māori Land Information Base or historic Māori Land Court records first.
- If the description of the land you are searching does not contain a Māori block name then try the LINZ help desk first.
- Read the Frequently Asked Questions below.
- If you have obtained information from the Māori Land Court and have been referred to LINZ, bring the supporting information with you.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
The following is a list of frequently asked questions relating to searching Māori land records and dealing with Māori land. This list is not exhaustive of the types of inquiries we receive. It is a selection of the most common questions asked. The questions and answers are designed to assist you in your research and to explain the processes surrounding the registration of interests against Māori land.
Q: My father has an interest in land "up north somewhere." What can LINZ tell me about this land?
A: Obtain from the Māori Land Court all the information the Court holds relating to that parcel of land, including location, land description and your father's shareholding entitlement. The key identifier will be the name of the person.
You may also search the LINZ record for information relating to title and any interests affecting it. You must go to the LINZ regional office where the land is located. Alternatively you may wish to have a land professional perform this function for you.
You may wish to go to Te Puni Kōkiri or check its on-line Māori Land Information Base to identify the land and/or narrow your search. Find a map of land registration districts.
Q: My grandmother has passed away. How do we deal with her interests in Māori land?
A: The Māori Land Court administers all matters relating to succession. For the purposes of Part IV of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 "administration" also means probate of the will of a deceased person. Once the Court issues a succession order, they may produce the order to LINZ for registration in the Land Title system.
Q: The Māori Land Court advises me that the court orders for partition of land have been lodged with the Land Titles Office for registration. What does that mean?
A: The Registrar of the Māori Land Court can present orders for the purpose of registration in the Land Title system. This is the process by which a Certificate of Title (CT) is issued for land. A Certificate of Title is a formal document that records transactions concerning the specific parcel of land identified by the CT. It records the legal description of the land, all owners, current and historic, any legal documents (mortgages, leases, rights, easements, restrictions etc) registered against the land. CsT also contain a diagram that shows the shape and dimensions of the land. The original CT is held by the department in the relevant LINZ office. A duplicate copy is held by the land owner or appointee (eg solicitor, bank). Hardcopy Certificates of Title will gradually be replaced by electronic titles under LINZ's Landonline system.
You can find out more about Landonline and New Zealand's land title registration system.
Q: My whanau currently owns land classified as "general land". We wish to change the status of our land to "Māori land" - How can we do this?
A: By applying to the Māori Land Court. Only the court can change the status of general land owned by Māori, to Māori land. The order may then be registered with LINZ.
Q: I am researching land on behalf of my hapu. What historical information can I get at the local LINZ office?
A: Māori land plans, other types of plan and field books may hold information relating to wahi tapu and other sites of significance. Old Lands and Survey records sometimes record Māori names for particular places. Land Title Services can refer you to the original Crown Grant and the Deeds registration system, which may shed light on the way the land was utilised including purchase agreements and considerations. You are also able to obtain copies of Māori Land Court orders that have been registered with LINZ. Prior to Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993, it was not compulsory for orders to be registered with LINZ and therefore the LINZ record may not be complete. Again, the Māori Land Court holds a full set of records relating to Māori land.
You may wish to visit Te Puni Kokiri and check the Māori Land Information Base to identify the land and/or narrow your search.
Q: What is my share holding in a certain Māori block?
A: Obtain this information from the Māori Land Court.
Q: Where is a Māori block located?
A: Search both the Māori Land Court and Māori Land Information Base using the block name. The Māori Land Information Base can be searched online.

NCEH Kids' Page: Lead Poisoning
Did you know that lead poisoning is invisible and 100% preventable?We discovered that lead in gasoline caused children to have a lot of lead in their blood, and we know that even a tiny amount of lead can cause serious learning problems. So, the government decided to get rid of lead in gasoline. Today, we warn parents about the other sources of lead that can hurt kids. For example, many old houses have peeling and flaking leaded paint that kids sometimes eat.

Have any of you instructed a sport pilot transitioning to a private pilot certificate? Or know somebody that has?
I'm currently a sport pilot, who has enjoyed 18 months of LSA-goodness, but am now interested in transitioning to a private pilot certificate. I'm searching for someone who has made this transition before or has instructed someone through this transition. If you fit one of these categories, I'd love to pick your brain and ask you some questions.
Please email me or respond to this message if so. Thanks for your help.
- Brady
(I also posted this in "Hangar Talk" but thought I'd also fish these waters as well)
Hi Brady-
I did transition my first Sport Pilot student through his Private last year. It was pretty simple, the flight maneuvers are not much different, and he had enough cross-country time after 2 years of flying a Champ and a Chief as a SP.
You will need 3 hours of Instrument and 3 hours of Night time, including 10 takeoffs and landings and a night XC. Private written exam, and 3 hours of prep for the ride, as long as you have enough time logged (I assume you do since I've been reading your articles!!) The upgrade should be a piece of cake,
Cheers, Tony
Hi Brady!
As a DPE, this past year I did three Sport Pilot to Private Pilot checkrides and all did very well. There are several things that over lap between the two certificates so the checkrides are very simular.
All of the applicants came from Skill Aviation in UGN and used a Evektor Sport Star. You might be able to pick both instructors and student brains with one phone call!
Hey Brady,
I transitioned to PP last year after about 18 months as an SP to have access to more affordable airplanes to own. If you received your initial SP training through a CFI, then all of your previous training hours count toward the PP, as does your XC time. The only "new" skill that I had to learn was night flying. Everything else you should already have down pat. The knowledge test is a little longer and more difficult, but study will remedy that hurdle. SP is just fine for some folks, but others will find it simply a nice stepping stone into higher levels of aviation. At your age, it doesn't make any sense financial or otherwise NOT to make the transition. Besides being able to fly your family around, you'll be providing GA with another pilot and potential aircraft owner.
Great choice, and best of luck,
Hey Brady
Good to see you're putting the training to use as well as pursuing the next level! I've also considered moving to PPL myself but am effected by the recent clarification/ruling concerning training received by SP-CFIs issued by the FAA . Unfortunately all of my training was conducted with a SP-CFI, who is working on his PPL-CFI rating. Although the instructor and training received was top notch, almost all is deemed unusable towards PPL. Only solo time and solo cross country, since I intentionally planned it to meet PPL requirements, will be transferable as it stand now.
The good news is that all is not lost...the SP training received will help me personally towards the next level because I have proven I can do it., and that confidence and current skill level will go a long way in helping to acheive my next goal... I'll just have to spend a few more hours doing it according to the ruling. I plan to pursue PPL/glider as my next step since it is very popular both in Italy and Florida where I spend 90% of my time. And I believe a Sonex Xenos motor glider could be in my future as well...
Well good luck with the training if you decide to make the jump...hope to see another blog like the last one!
Take care,
Randy Dallas
"Besides being able to fly your family around, you'll be providing GA with another pilot and potential aircraft owner."
Ahem. Sport Pilots are pilots, and can in fact own aircraft.
Back on topic:
Almost immediately on returning from my successful check ride my instructor said that he was looking forward to seeing me back next year for my PPL, since it's just night and instrument stuff. My cross country flights were PPL distances.
No need to be defensive, Frank. Of course SP's ARE pilots, and quite deserving of the title and admission to the brotherhood that is aviation. My point was simply that GA, of which LSA is a smaller part, is in need of more activity to stay vibrant and robust. In addition to training more folks to be pilots (witness efforts by EAA and AOPA) we also need folks to fly more often. In my case, as with many others, the best way to do that was to purchase an airplane. I can't afford new $100,000 sport planes (and they are very nice), nor did the performance of most of the legacy aircraft that were LSA eligible meet my personal needs. Of course SP's can own airplanes, but you'll have to admit that you are MUCH more limited than a PP in your choices. With aviation competing for the recreational family dollar, it is a lot easier for the average family to justify money spent on an airplane that can take the entire family on a vacation or a trip to see the grandparents, than it is on an LSA.
Congratulations on your achievement, and I wish you fair winds and blue sky.
We recently trained a sport pilot for the Private certificate. He hadn't flown in 6 six years so we had to do some refresher, fly the longer cross countries, towered field, instrument, night, written and prep for checkride.
He had purchased a Ercoupe that was not LSA. I think he thought it was LSA when he bought it. We did training is his plane. It had rudder pedals.

If you want to know who's really desirable, ask men!
Jennifer Lawrence has been voted the world's most desirable woman. She has snagged the title, or rather, she has been awarded the title by people who know too well what 'desirable' means―voters in an international poll released by popular online men's mag AskMen.com.
The Hunger Games star has been the choice of the majority of the poll's 2.4 million voters. Of course, physical attributes contributed, but what made her stand out was her genuine and down-to-earth attitude.
AskMen.com editor-in-chief James Bassil says:
"Overall, there's a sense that she's a little more authentic than other actors."
'She's far from a plastic Barbie' in other words.
Last year's winner, actress Sofia Vergara, slips to 12th place. Mila Kunis, Kate Upton, Rihanna, and Emma Stone round up the top 5. Other personalities who made it to the list are FLOTUS Michelle Obama and Rachel Weisz.

Buddy McLeroy couldn't wait to get off the family farm in Cold Springs and into the Navy. He was too young by a year. His dad told him firmly that there was no way he would sign for him. His dilemma was solved by a bottle of wine.
"There was a man down at the Farmer's Market in Birmingham who forged my daddy's name for a bottle of wine," he laughed.
His mother had given him a little New Testament Bible, so he changed his date of birth from July 8, 1926, to the same date in 1925 in the bible registry. The recruiter shook his head when he saw that the slender youth only weighed 108 pounds, so he listed Buddy's official weight as 118.
"My first regret for all that was after basic training," said McLeroy. "I got a short leave to go home and arrived about daylight. When I walked in the house Momma was cooking breakfast."
"It smelled so good," he exclaimed. "I was tired so she told me to lie down and rest until she finished cooking. That bed felt so good….yes, I regretted it a little then, but later on in my life I was glad that I'd joined."
Buddy wanted to be with his brother in Pensacola, Fla., so the recruiter sent him there. The Naval officers took one look at the young boy and put him to work dipping ice cream. "I wanted to be in the Navy," he said indignantly. "Not dipping ice cream. I was mad for two weeks!"
One day a soldier came in and heard Buddy growling about not getting assigned to a ship. "If you want to be a part of the destroyer fleet, you need to sign up," he said.
Buddy didn't need to hear that a second time. He went out and signed up right away. Before long, he left the ice cream business for the seven seas.
"They sent me to Charleston, S.C., where I boarded an old 'four-stacker' anti-sub patrol ship that was rusty, damaged and falling apart," he chuckled. That ship took the young seaman to Africa.
His big break came when someone mentioned that he would make a good signal-man because he was too scrawny to be swabbing decks or loading guns. He did well in signal school, which was sited just off the coast of Maine near Great Diamond Island.
After completing his training he was assigned to the U.S.S. Denebola, a Naval destroyer supply ship. His shipmates called him "Reb" because of his southern heritage. It was his job to send signals with lights, using Morse code, and with flags and sonar.
But it was aboard the U.S.S. Hilary P. Jones, DD-427, that McLeroy spent most of his time in the service. It was from the deck of this ship that he would witness one of the most famous scenes in history — the signing of the surrender of the Japanese Fleet.
There were over 400 destroyers in the area to prevent submarines, ships and planes from leaving Japan. Sometimes McLeroy's ship would anchor in Okinawa. "When they dropped the first atomic bomb we were off the coast of Japan," he recalled. "I was on the top deck, looking at Mt. Fuji through my binoculars when it went off."
There was strict radio silence in the hours before the bomb was dropped. The sailors aboard the Jones had no idea what an atomic bomb even was, although they had heard rumors that the U.S. had developed a bomb that could destroy the world. "They called it the 'ultimate weapon'," he said.
As soon as the bomb was dropped, 100,000 people disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant.
"We got orders to look for survivors of the Indianapolis, which was hit hard. Some of them were pulled from the water by the crew of the Madison," he recalled. (The Indianapolis had delivered the bomb to Guam).
"It was about two weeks before the actual surrender," recalled McLeroy. "The official surrender was Sept. 2, about 10 a.m."
McLeroy had a ringside seat, and still remembers the day in vivid Technicolor details. "The water was so calm," he described. "About eight Japanese generals, who hadn't wanted to surrender, but were ordered by their emperor to do so, stepped aboard the U.S.S. Missouri in full dress uniforms, but without their swords. They came across the gangplanks and bowed all the way down on the bridge in front of U.S. General Douglas MacArthur."
"Truman had offered them an unconditional surrender, but they asked, and were granted, freedom for their emperor," explained McLeroy.
The Emperor had announced that his people had suffered enough, so the generals reluctantly agreed to surrender.
Along with the U.S.S. Hilary P. Jones, other U.S. destroyers, Hughes, Madison, and Selfridge bore witness to the historic moment that day in Tokyo Bay.
McLeroy recalled MacArthur's speech. "We are gathered here, representatives of the major warring powers, to conclude a solemn agreement whereby peace may be restored. The issues, involving divergent ideals and ideologies, have been determined on the battlefields of the world and hence are not for our discussion or debate. Nor is it for us here to meet, representing as we do a majority of the people of the earth, in a spirit of distrust, malice or hatred. But rather it is for us, both victors and vanquished, to rise to that higher dignity which alone befits the sacred purposes we are about to serve, committing all our people unreservedly to faithful compliance with the understanding they are here formally to assume.
"It is my earnest hope, and indeed the hope of all mankind, that from this solemn occasion a better world shall emerge out of the blood and carnage of the past — a world dedicated to the dignity of man and the fulfillment of his most cherished wish for freedom, tolerance and justice."
"MacArthur had set it up so that the surrender would take place aboard the Missouri because President Truman was from there," said McLeroy.
McLeroy's captain walked up to the young sailor and said in a low voice, "You can't tell them where you are, but I want you to go below and write your momma and daddy a letter, when you finish it, bring it to me and I'll make sure it gets through the censors."
McLeroy did as instructed. Today, he still has that very letter, much worn, bordered in red and blue stripes, in an airmail envelope stamped Sept. 2, 1945, Tokyo Bay. It bears a seal with initials penciled in showing that it was approved by a censor.
After a while the sailors were allowed to go ashore. They stayed in Yokohama. "At first the Japanese people would just about break their backs bowing, but later they just smiled and were very friendly," recalled McLeroy.
He and his buddies went out in the direction of the blast. "There was nothing there — not a tree or a building or anything — literally nothing, with the exception of maybe parts of an iron safe or some metal fencing," he said of the scene. "It was ten times worse than what we saw here after the tornado."
His mother sent him packets of Kool-Aid. "We wore life belts that would inflate in the water. There were little tubes in them and the guys discovered that if they broke them open they could keep the Kool-Aid cold," he laughed. "I was the most popular guy on the ship for a while there."
He was stationed in Occupied Japan, near one of the northernmost islands until time to go home. His ship sailed past islands like Iwo Jima, the Philippines and Guam. "We would often fire on them just to let them know we were there," he said. "Some of those Japanese soldiers were still fighting the war years later."
McLeroy returned to Cold Springs Mountain after seeing death and destruction on the high seas and bearing witness to history. He was now officially a high school senior.
Walking down the hall one day he stopped in his tracks. By a girl, of course. "I thought she was the prettiest girl I'd ever seen," he smiled. "I still do."
Cleo Lott, the 1947 Strawberry Princess was indeed a beauty. Her photo was on the Alabama road map along with Big Jim Folsom that year.
She had never been off the farm. After winning her dad's approval, which wasn't easy, the two began dating. They graduated in May and married June 7, 1947.
After graduation McLeroy went to school in Jacksonville, Ala., on the GI Bill. His class toured the governor's mansion in Montgomery. "When Big Jim Folsom found out that I was from Cullman County, he got up out of his chair and invited me to sit in it," laughed McLeroy. "When I sat down he made me put my feet up on his desk."
"Look at you," laughed the popular governor. "You've sat in my chair and done what I do all day."
When the Korean War started McLeroy had the opportunity to go to work for the phone company.
"We were poor," he declared. "Even the poor folks called us poor. I'd made vow years before, standing in a cotton patch looking at my uncle's new car, that one day I'd go to work for the phone company," he said.
In 1950 he did just that.
The McLeroys have been married for 65 years. They had one son, Ronald (who passed away at the age of 54) two grandchildren, Todd and Dana, and six great-grandchildren.
McLeroy worked for the phone company for 39 years. He never turned down a minute of overtime.
"I grew up in the Navy," he said, thinking back over his life. "It changed me from a little boy into a man. One thing the Navy taught me well was discipline," he said. "You have to have self-discipline."
Men like Buddy McLeroy, living repositories of this country's proud legacy, hold our history in their hearts. He and other World War II veterans were honored this week, along with present and future veterans by Cullman County school children.
"I've had a wonderful life," he said.
It was an honor to tell his story.

The latest in a series on some of the top prospects of the Dallas Stars looks at defenseman Ludwig Bystrom, a second round pick in the 2012 NHL Draft.
Last season was a tough one for Bystrom, who played at various levels in Sweden and never seemed to get on track.
"It was quite an experience," Bystrom said. "It was up and down. It was not my best year. I hoped it would be better, but this season is over and I am just focusing on next season."
And both Bystrom and the Stars hope he can take some lessons out of last season and gain from the experience moving forward.
"He bounced around two or three teams," said Jackson. "I think last year might have been the best thing for him because he got some lessons on how to play and how to handle himself."
Bystrom started the season with MODO of the Swedish Elite League. He played 30 games, registering 6 points (3 goals, 3 assists) and a plus-7 rating in limited playing time. Despite averaging about ten minutes per game and only playing in 30 of MODO's 55 games, Bystrom's six points were second most among junior defensemen playing in the Swedish Elite League.
Bystrom, a defenseman who handles the puck a lot, admitted he was a little tentative while playing in Sweden's top league as an 18-year-old.
"The coach told me to play my game, but not make any mistakes," said Bystrom. "I can't play my game without making some mistakes. It was a hard year, but I was always learning something. That's good."
In early January, MODO loaned Bystrom to Orebro in Sweden's second highest league in order to get him some more playing time. That didn't work out well for Bystrom, who played in only nine games.
"They had eight defensemen when I came there, and I didn't know that," Bystrom said. "It was a bad loan. I played in just a few games. It didn't work out well."
He finished out the season in junior hockey, which presented its own challenges especially in the playoffs.
"That was hard," Bystrom said. "I had been playing 12 minutes a game and I get back to juniors and I played 30 minutes a game. I was tired after every shift and every period. But it was good to end the season like that."
The Stars selected Bystrom, who turned 19 last month, in the second round (43rd) overall of the 2012 NHL Draft. They signed him to an entry-level contract just a few weeks after drafting him.
Bystrom is a two-way defenseman. He's a slick skater who moves the puck well. He's not overly big at 6-0, 194 pounds, but he doesn't shy away from physical play. Like any young player, he needs to improve in all areas but play in his own end is a focus.
"I need to improve everything, but most in the defensive zone," Bystrom said. "I need to work on my play in front of the net and in the corners."
This coming season he'll play for Farjestad in Sweden.
"He signed with Farjestad, which is a good team. I think it will be good for him," said Jackson. "It will be interesting to say how he implements this year with Farjestads. He's a talented kid."
The preseason is already underway in Sweden and Bystrom is currently skating with Farjestad's Elite League squad. Bystrom spent part of the summer with Farjestad and liked what he saw.
"It feels very good," Bystrom said. "Everything is so professional and stuff. It feels good."
But he knows that, like last year, ice time won't come easy at the Swedish Elite League level. He is going to have to earn it.
"They said if I play good I'll play and if I don't I won't play," he said. "I need to play good."

There are 36 group I winners, including former American star Ron the Greek, among the fields taking shape for the eight Thoroughbred stakes on Dubai World Cup (UAE-I) card March 29.
West Point Thoroughbreds' favored Twilight Eclipse likely punched his ticket to Dubai with an impressive victory in the $200,000 Mac Diarmida Stakes (gr. IIT) Feb. 15 at Gulfstream Park.
West Point Thorughbreds' gelding returns to the scene of his world record in Saturday's $200,000 Mac Diarmida Stakes (gr. IIT) at 1 3/8 miles Feb. 15.
Following a review, the American Graded Stakes Committee has decided to reinstate the grade III status of the W. L. McKnight Stakes, contested at Calder Casino & Race Course Dec. 28.
Turf or dirt, it made little difference to odds-on favorite Twilight Eclipse, who rolled to a front-running repeat victory in the $125,000 W. L. McKnight Handicap Dec. 28 at Calder Casino & Race Course.
West Point Thoroughbreds' world-record holder Twilight Eclipse tops a field of older horses as he defends his title in the Dec. 28 W.L. McKnight Handicap (gr. IIT) at Calder Casino & Race Course.
Irish-based Magician took advantage of a fast early pace to roll to victory in the $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf (gr. IT) at Santa Anita Park Nov. 2.
Big Blue Kitten, given a patient ride by Joe Bravo, burst through an opening at mid-stretch and swept past Twilight Eclipse late to post a one-length win in the $600,000 Sword Dancer Invitational (gr. IT) Aug. 17 at Saratoga.
Boisterous may have won the Man o' War Stakes (gr. IT) last time out at Belmont Park, but he isn't scaring away competition from the Aug. 17 Sword Dancer Invitational Handicap (gr. IT) at Saratoga Race Course.
Phipps Stable's Boisterous became a grade I winner July 13 at Belmont Park, threading his way between rivals to claim the $600,000 Man o' War (gr. IT). Twilight Eclipse was second, while Exclusive Strike finished third.
Although Point of Entry will not defend his title in the $600,000 Man o' War Handicap at Belmont Park July 13, Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey hopes Boisterous will be a capable pinch-hitter in the grade I turf event.
Trainer Shug McGaughey said emphatically that turf star Point of Entry will compete in the $500,000 Woodford Reserve Manhattan Handicap (gr. IT) June 8, despite the forecast for rain over the weekend.
Twilight Eclipse ruined the return of favored Newsdad while establishing a new world record for 1 1/2 miles on turf in the $150,000 Pan American Handicap (gr. IIT) March 23 at Gulfstream Park.
Four runners from the Feb. 16 Mac Diarmida Stakes, headed by Resolute Group Stables' second-place finisher Teaks North, are among 10 entered to contest the $150,000 Pan American Stakes (gr. IIT) March 23 at Gulfstream Park.
Newsdad, Ioya Bigtime, and Twilight Eclipse will shake it up Feb. 16 in the $150,000 Mac Diarmida Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park, while Starformer and Closing Range tangle in the $100,000 Very One (gr. III).
Lightly-raced Twilight Eclipse put away 3-2 favorite Ioya Bigtime entering the far turn and continued on to post an 11-1 upset win in the W.L. McKnight Handicap (gr. IIT) Nov. 24 at Calder Casino & Race Course.
American Derby winner Cozzetti seeks a return to winning ways in the $200,000 Kent Stakes at Delaware Park Sept. 22, but plenty of new rivals including Lucky Chappy, Miami Cat, and Optimizer are ready to take him on.

OT: Will a Google search do this?
I'm developing a site for a program here at Cornell University and on
their site they have a publications page. They want an individual search option just for this page. Where the user would enter keywords to search for their publications. Keywords are limited to words in the title, Author, date. After they enter their keyword and hit "Submit," I would like each publication that contains that keyword to show up on the results page. I'm guessing adding a Google search to just search that page is not gonna work the way they want it to. Because what I know of Google, their searches just return web pages, not specific content on those pages. If this won't work could anyone give me some pointers on how this type of search would be possible? Thanks Steve |

Historical Traveler Reviews Juniper Hill Inn Ogunquit
Good place to stay especially for the location
The Juniper Inn is located in a perfect spot in Ogunquit. It is walking distance to town, beach and a few restaurants. The path that leads to the beach is a nice walk but my husband and I preferred walking along the main road to the beach. Since we went in early May alot of the town was not open at the full season opportunities but enough was open to keep us entertained for four days. The Juniper reminded us of every other hotel/inn we have stayed in before, it did not stand out nor did it disappoint. I would recommend the Juniper for people who like to be in the middle of everything but still be away from the bustle of town. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
We booked a night at the Juniper Hill Inn over April school vacation through Expedia -- at a rate of $92/night according to the reservation. When we checked in the rate was "$142 -- they stated the rate was for 2 adults ONLY and the rest was for my two kids (ages 5 and 8). I found this to be pathetic since it was Mid April. I would have lost the entire cost since I had only made the reservation a day in advance so we were stuck with it. I really woudn't have a problem with this rate in the high season but mid April this was unacceptable. Needless to say we left the next day, went to a full-service HOTEL in Portland and paid significantly less money. I won't go back -- I am a sticklor for customer service and I thought this was rotten. Room was mediocre at best, its a motel with old mattresses and pillows and musty carpeting. No screens on windows to even vent some fresh air in. The best part of the motel was the bath and body works shampoo/conditioner/body lotion they provided. We usually stay at the Ogunquit Resort Motel a few seconds down Rt 1 North, which is all brand new and immaculate, but tried this place for a change. We'll stick to the Ogunquit Resort Motel from now on.
Love this hotel!!
I must preface my comments by stating that I have been going to Maine since I was a young girl. My grandparents owned a summer home in Ogunquit, but sold it about 15 years ago. Since then, I have been staying at the Juniper Hill. This hotel is wonderful. Although it is not plush, there are not any plush hotels in Ogunquit. It is a seaside town, and the main attraction is the gorgeous Ogunquit beach. This hotel is clean, safe and everyone who works there is so friendly. It is within walking distance to everything, including the beach. If you don't feel like walking the trolley stops in front of the hotel. Overall, this resort is fabulous - I would not hesitate recommending it to anyone! This comes from someone who prefers to stay at four or five star resorts when traveling. You will not be disappointed by the Juniper Hill Inn!
Very pleasant surprise
Stopped at the Juniper Hill, without a reservation, based on the clean look of the exterior. Was able to get a room that was clean and had a very comfortable bed. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Price included a light continental breakfast and refreshments in the lobby throughout the day. Location is perfect for walks into town as well as to the beach. Would definitely stay there again.
Wonderful place to stay
My husband and I recently stayed at the Juniper Hill Inn[August,2004] and were quite pleased with our room and the entire property. The room was immaculate, roomy, and had great amenities.
Juniper Hill Inn Rules!
Having stayed at the Juniper Hill for a few years, I can attest to the professional and extreme care that all their personel take in welcoming the guests.The location is the best for all around travel to the northern and southern tiers of Ogunquit. A short walk and I mean short... to the main street stores and restaurants. Within a few minutes stroll you are at the Marginal Way, a wonderful ocean side pathway that ends in one of the most incredible coves in Maine. Perkins cove has it all. But enough about Ogunquit, staying at the Juniper Hill makes your stay on the Maine coast so much better. From the two pools and central outdoor spa, to the indoor sauna, health club and indoor pool, there is something for everyone to enjoy. I will be there again this year and look forward to a great time with my friends.
My favorite motel in the state of Maine
Juniper Hill Inn is the most comfortable and friendly motel that I have had the pleasure to stay in. Everything speaks of quality, from the decor and appointments in the rooms to the daily grooming of the grounds. The housekeeping staff and the desk personnel are delightfully friendly and helpful. We have stayed at Juniper Hill for more than 20 years, usually in June and September, and we still eagerly look forward to our next vacation there. Superb dining, beaches and sightseeing all abound within a few miles of the Inn. The large number of returning guests every year is a good indication that this is a favored destination by many people.
Feels like coming home
We have been coming to the Juniper Hill for years, since the children (now grown) were young. We used to come in summer, but now we prefer fall, when much of the inn is closed and we feel like we have the place almost to ourselves. We love the walk down the path to the beach road, and the walk into town in the brisk fall air. The rooms are comfortable, the people are friendly, and it's a great place to relax and experience the changing season. It feels like coming home.
Nice, clean, friendly
I've been staying at the Juniper Hill Inn on business for over 15 years. As a representative for a major Aircraft Engine Manufacturer, I can honestly say that most of my co-workers stay at the Juniper Hill Inn, which speaks volumns. The rooms are always clean, and bright, with large windows and great climate controls, fluffy towels. The grounds are nicely landscaped and rates are very reasonable.
Fall in maine
I have gone to maine for 27 years(June and October)I have always stayed at Juniper Hill Inn.It is very clean,beautiful rooms,great staff,great pools,close to downtown.I enjoy the fall trip as the fall foliage is breathtaking!!!!Lots of great lobster restaurants in the area....We had a family reunion there (18) we had a wonderful time.Our grandchildren did not want to leave!

He is now a gimp and embarrassing the team. Stay home A-Rod.
I'm not too confident they can end up voiding the contract. If they can, that would be beyond fantastic.

It would have been hard to see A-Rod dropping off as much as he did.
A guy like Bonds had amazing success in his late 30s and early 40s and i am sure the Yankees to some extent expected a similar decline (considering their perceived similar talent level)
With more time at DH, he could focus particularly on his offense and still be an AS into his late 30s (and being a more than serviceable player into his 40s) getting him to 763 and beyond.
It just hasn't worked out that way and he started breaking down sooner than expected.

As for NYY hopes to void A-Rod's deal, I've been told there's only standard language in contract. Tough, if not impossible, to get around.
True but there was no way to know A-Rod couldn't have at least maintained a slashline of .290/.380/.520 (with 30-35 home runs) or something similar past 35 years especially as he transitioned to their full time DH.
A lot of guys at that time were having outstanding seasons into their later 30s, i think the Yankees expected A-Rod's productivity to have had a much longer lifespan considering how incredibly talented he was.
Last edited by metswon69; 01-29-2013 at 07:35 PM.
I would feel differently about this if the Yankees started talking about voiding A-Rod's contract after he first admitted to PED use, but he was still good then. Now that he is in steady decline they shouldn't act like his use is news to them. I don't think they will be able to get out of this contract nor do I think they should.
I'm sure the Yankees could void his contract at any time if they wanted to. They might lose down the road and then have to appeal it and tie up his money for the next ten years but the only thing stopping them from voiding his contract is will and most likely some risk analysis. I'm not sure the Steinbrenner boys are that big a douche bags. I think pop would have done it in a heartbeat.
I'm curious, does a voided contract still count towards the cap?
