If anything, several strong Asian candidates in the race for mayor help each other.
August is a bad time to split town. When I left for vacation a couple of weeks ago, Ed Lee was just starting to act like a candidate in a slow-developing mayor's race. Nobody except my lunatic pal h. brown had any inkling that Public Defender Jeff Adachi would jump into the Room 200 sweepstakes at the last minute. And the Giants were three games up.
Now Lee is the clear front-runner, Adachi — a guy who defends criminals for a living — is the darling of a some anti-government conservatives, there are Avalos signs all over the Mission, and nobody knows exactly how to figure this all out.
Oh, and Arizona — which I hate (yeah, I hate the entire state, including the governor, the baseball team and the newspaper chain that's based there) — is leading the National League West.
Welcome home, I guess.
The first thing I want to say about the mayor's race is that none of this would be possible without ranked-choice voting and public financing. Think about it: Five serious Asian candidates, two of them leading in the polls and at least three of them real contenders — and nobody's complaining that Adachi or Lee will "split" the Asian vote. If anything, several strong Asian candidates help each other; the supporters of Ed Lee and Leland Yee may be trashing the opposition day and night, but in the end, a lot of Chinese voters will probably still rank the incumbent mayor and the man who's been elected citywide four times as two of their three choices.
And without public financing, the race would be dominated by one or two contenders — the ones who could privately raise $1 million or more to stay in the game. Instead, we have at least four and perhaps as many as five or six candidates who have a real chance of finishing on top. Already, the Chron and the Ex are complaining about the cost of public financing; the cost of closed elections where only those with big-business connections could win was much, much higher.
The other factor that will make this fascinating is that Lee's job just got much, much harder. He's not the amiable technocrat who comes to work early and gets the job done anymore; now he's an ambitious pol who has never had to stand up to the heat of a tough campaign. He's going to have to be a candidate, and campaign, and answer some hard questions about some of his political allies and supporters. That's not the gig he wanted in February. And I don't know how well he's going to handle it.
Tim, I'm kinda surprised that you were surprised by Jeff jumping in, but then I'm just another old loony who listens and pays attention to what h says; IMHO he and Hope are two of the sharpest knives in our local tackle box.
I remember asking John months ago at one of his earliest events at Cafe Le Boheme, "What are your plans if Matt or Jeff jump in at the last minute; have you thought about an IRV strategy". To his credit John's response was something like, "I can't worry about that, I'm just focused on what I believe is best for all the people of the City, staying true to my principles, and not making political deals". Apologies John if I misrepresented you. As far as I can tell to date, to his credit, he has remained a man of his word. The next few months are gonna be fascinating as 'progressives of all persuasions' decide between John and Jeff.
So Tim, ignore h at your peril, he is generally very prescient, though I think his hope for a Giant repeat will probably have to wait until next year.
Welcome back.
Avalos seems like a good guy - but Adachi can win with a combo of progressives and folks concerned about mounting budget deficits. Gotta play to win and drop the grudges- Avalos certainly doesn't have any...
Of course, nothing will stop Lee unless publications like SFBG cover his shady dealings...why the kid gloves?
H is solid.
Go Giants!
Whoever believes Adachi is actually a progressive is totally delusional. Since when has any progressive candidate been funded by Billionaires that supported Arnold, Scott Walker, Mitt Romney? Follow the money and you will see the truth.
Yes, he is a progressive. You forgot to mention the "Koch brothers"...
Don't get me wrong. I'm the first one that would declare Adachi the anti-christ, but..
Is your statement hyperbole, or can you show that Adachi indeed has the same funders as Schwarzenegger, Walker, and Romney?
I was thinking it is more localized greedy billionaires doing so ;')
"Adachi can win with a combo of progressives and folks concerned about mounting budget deficits."
That's wishful thinking. Jeff Adachi is smart, articulate, and courageous, but his chances of winning the mayoral race are slim.
If Ed Lee, the frontrunner, falters, the most likely beneficiary will be Leland Yee. He will carry much of the westside, the progressives who believe he will turn out to be a stealth progressive, and the unions.
Adachi has an Achilles' heel - He's weak when it comes to public safety. He never met a criminal defendant he didn't sympathize with.
If polls show Adachi moving ahead significantly, the police and firefighters will go after him, relentlessly hammering his weakness on public safety. You'll see TV ads about some of the criminal monsters he has defended in court. It will be a sobering spectacle.
My guess is that Adachi himself is aware that his chances of becoming mayor are low. His purpose in announcing a mayoral candidacy is to be a game-changer. He wants to make pension reform the big issue of the campaign.
The likely upshot in November is that Lee will be elected mayor, but Adachi's version of pension reform will prevail over Lee's. Both will be able to claim victory.
It started with your shilling drivel from beyondchron...
Adachi's not a favorite to win- the point was he has a shot a wider constituency than Avalos imo subject to a change in RCV dynamics.
It's pretty clear you're a Lee advocate and enjoy taunting the progressives here although you are smart not to say so outright.
This is kinda dumb:
"If polls show Adachi moving ahead significantly, the police and firefighters will go after him, relentlessly hammering his weakness on public safety. You'll see TV ads about some of the criminal monsters he has defended in court. It will be a sobering spectacle."
Come on- they hate the guy already/they threw him out of a funeral. They've already been attacking the guy for 18 months. Such an attack will be seen as the same 'ol folks fighting tooth and nail for the bloated benefits that are bankrupting the City. No one with a partial brain will miss the motivation.
Point is there is no precedent here - a zillion candidates in an RCV race. Who knows. It is folly at this point to say someone with high name recognition, a 43% base from a previous initiative and Adachi's talent (as you point out) "can't win."
Hopefully - you'll pick it up again next week.
Thanks, Guest, for your post above. Here are some thoughts –
You say:
"your shilling drivel from beyondchron..."
What's this all about?
You say:
"Adachi's not a favorite to win- the point was he has a shot a wider constituency than Avalos imo subject to a change in RCV dynamics."
What does the above paragraph mean?
You say:
"It's pretty clear you're a Lee advocate…"
Not so. I haven't made up my mind about whom to support. I'm leaning toward not voting at all.
As I said before, I believe Lee made a big mistake in deciding to run for mayor. If he's elected, he will probably be a bureaucratic hack, coasting with institutional inertia. Not an appealing prospect.
However, I believe Lee will win. No incumbent in office in SF has ever been ousted under ranked-choice voting. This system of voting makes it extremely difficult to dislodge incumbents. That's one of the flaws of this system.
You say:
"Such an attack [by the police on Adachi's public-safety record] will be seen as the same 'ol folks fighting tooth and nail for the bloated benefits that are bankrupting the City."
Adachi will also be attacked for his pension-reform measure, true. But his greater vulnerability, which has not yet gotten due attention, is his poor attitude when it comes to public safety, which will be easy to document.
You say:
"Point is there is no precedent here - a zillion candidates in an RCV race. Who knows."
Some things are known:
Ed Lee is far ahead of the other contenders.
The other contenders have no positive alternative vision, just carping comments about Lee.
Jeff Adachi is a polarizing figure, inspiring to some and infuriating to some.
Our local progressive sect is in complete disarray.
You say:
"It is folly at this point to say someone with high name recognition, a 43% base from a previous initiative and Adachi's talent (as you point out) 'can't win.'"
Jeff Adachi has won impressively at the polls as a public defender. The office of mayor is an entirely different kettle of fish.
To the best of my knowledge, no public defender has ever been directly elected mayor in SF. One reason is that the mayor is the head of the city's public-safety efforts.
A public defender will have trouble explaining his or her qualifications for such a role, and especially so in the case of Adachi.
Adachi is smart, brave, articulate, witty, and creative. But he will not be the next mayor.
AE- Generally I agree with your analysis but not here. No reason to drone on.
As far as PDs go Adachi is unique. I have seen no serious polling (non push-poll) with the actual field that shows Lee "far ahead." I'll believe it when I see it...
I agree with you on the importance of public financing Tim, however you may be the ONLY one who had no inkling about Adachi jumping in. I knew about it as early as January of this year that Adachi would run for mayor. I heard about it from a credible source on FB of all places. Mesha wrote that Adachi was seriously considering a run. And, if you recall, his critics -- including Chris Daly and Haaland -- have maintained all along that this pension reform business was more about Adachi's political aspirations than anything else. As it turns out, they were right.
(To be honest, I originally thought it was Gonzalez who would run. I just don't see where Adachi gets his base, but i suppose anything is possible with IRV.)
All the same, we didn't need h. Brown to confirm our hunch that one of these guys would likely jump in the race. If you think about it, it makes sense. Adachi was fashioning his image as "a maverick' and he was going on every conservative talk show that would have him. He's shrewd enough to understood that if he's going to win, he needs to pick up votes from the conservative West side. And that he needed an issue that would set him apart from the other candidates. Pension reform is that vehicle. It didn't hurt that the war on workers was playing well all across the nation. So, Adachi jumped on that bandwagon because it's a surefire way of pandering to conservatives.
IMHO, Gonzalez deserves scrutiny as well because he stands to gain something if Adachi is elected. The PD is an elected position. But if Jeff wins, Gonzo will most likely be appointed to succeed Adachi. The voters will not have a say in that. And I think they should because these two are virtually the ONLY 'progressives' to back this anti-worker initiative. I think it betrays a level of cynicism that is nothing short of astounding. Do these pols honestly think that the electorate is so naive that we couldn't figure out that this was their game plan all along?
Oh, and that interview of Gonzalez by h Brown was just a little too precious. There's Matt, pretending he didn't know all along that Jeff would run... and the pretense that he supports Ed Lee. Says he doesn't believe in Avalos, but Ed Lee...oh yeah. Dude knows which side his bread is buttered on, that's for sure. (I put off reading that interview since I'm positively allergic to Matt's B.S. but I have to say, it was most enlightening.) The sad thing is that Matt knows better.
*shrewd enough to understand (typo)
Lisa - pretty interesting.
Although- ..."As it turns out, they were right." I'm pretty sure you can't read minds. What motivates these folks is unknowable. The PD budget was getting slashed with benefit costs skyrocketing and everyone sitting on their as**es (new posting policy). Adachi had plenty of motivation.
"As far as PDs go Adachi is unique."
- Guest
True. But the big question here is whether he's another Martin Luther.
He might be. He might just turn out to be the type of person who will trigger a Reformation in our local progressive sect and change the dynamics of city politics for years to come.
If Adachi is this type of person, then he does have a chance of being elected mayor and, in fact, of becomine one of the great mayors.
However, Adachi may be merely unique, and not a genius. In this case, Ed Lee is most likely to be elected mayor; or, if Lee falters, Leland Yee.
All who know Adachi personally would agree that he's unique. We'll have to wait and see if he's the sort who can change history.

Four people enter the Belasco Mansion, the so-called "Everest of haunted houses," hired by a dying millionaire to investigate the possibility of life after death. Physicist Clive Revill leads the quartet, which includes his wife Gayle Hunnicut and two mediums. Pamela Franklin, young and impulsive, immediately makes contact with what she perceives as a tortured spirit, while Roddy McDowall, the only survivor from the previous investigation 20 years ago, closes himself off completely, deathly afraid of the malevolent forces that crushed his former comrades in body and spirit. Science fiction and horror legend Richard Matheson, responsible for penning such horror classics as The Devil Rides Out and Roger Corman's The Pit and the Pendulum, brings a literate sensibility and a refreshing seriousness to the haunted-house genre with this adaptation of his novel Hell House. Director John Hough follows Matheson's lead with a moody but sober approach, balancing the physical threats of objects lethally leaping to life with the slow, subtle possession of the characters by a truly evil spirit. Parts of the script feel like so much scientific mumbo jumbo, with characters discussing the finer points of supernatural manifestation and ectoplasmic activity, but Hough's deliberate direction gives it the necessary solemnity to take it all seriously. --Sean Axmaker

There is a book called "The Worst Journey in the World," by Apsley Cherry-Gerrard. He was a member of Scott's doomed last expedition to the Antarctic, and he was the survivor who found the frozen bodies of Scott and his two companions a few miles from the depot that would have saved their lives.
But the "worst journey" described in the title is not Scott's; it is a winter journey undertaken during the Antarctic night by Cherry-Gerrard and two others. Their objective was to bring back the rare eggs of the emperor penguin.
Now why would I mention all this in a review of a movie named "Deliverance"? Maybe because there is a lesson to be learned here somewhere.
Cherry-Gerrard and his friends suffered unspeakable physical and mental punishment during their journey. Their ordeal had a scientific rationale; the emperor penguin is one of the most backward of birds, and its eggs might hold clues to the evolution of our species. What Cherry-Gerrard discovered on his journey, however, is that it was quite possibly not worth it.
He did somehow survive and lived to a healthy age -- but as a melancholy, withdrawn, brooding old man whose spirit had been permanently altered by the test he put it to. If there is a worst journey in the world, Cherry-Gerrard was there and took it and knew what it was like.
James Dickey's "Deliverance" also is the story of a "worst journey." Four city slickers from Atlanta decide to take a canoe trip down a river that will soon be flooded out to make a lake.
One of the four is big on the old machismo. The other three, to various degrees, are unsuited to make the journey. Before their trip is over, one of them is dead, one has been raped by a demented hillbilly and the other two have each killed a hillbilly with a bow and arrow.
Dickey, who wrote the original novel and the screenplay, lards this plot with a lot of significance -- universal, local, whatever happens to be on the market. He is clearly under the impression that he is telling us something about the nature of man, and particularly civilized man's ability to survive primitive challenges ("Survival," the macho Burt Reynolds character tells us, "is the name of the game")
But I don't think it works that way. The movie is admittedly effective on the level of simple adventure. Director John Boorman and his cameraman, Vilmos Zsigmond, get some tremendously good (and unfaked) footage of the foursome shooting some fairly hairy rapids.
The scenes of violence and rape also work, it must be admitted, although in a disgusting way. The appeal to latent sadism is so crudely made that the audience is embarrassed.
As sometimes happens, however, the performances have a validity that transcends the film; Jon Voight, Burt Reynolds and, indeed, all the members of the cast are finely tuned and very good.
What the movie totally fails at, however, is its attempt to make some kind of significant statement about its action. For all of his 6 feet 4 inches and prowess with a bow and arrow, what James Dickey has given us here is a fantasy about violence, not a realistic consideration of it.
The adventures that occur in the film belong in Freudian dreams, and many of the exploits (particularly Voight's scaling of a cliff) are so incredible that we are back in a James Bond universe.
It's possible to consider civilized men in a confrontation with the wilderness without throwing in rapes, cowboy-and-Indian stunts and pure exploitative sensationalism. That's why I was reminded of "The Worst Journey in the World," I suppose. It makes Dickey's odyssey seem absolutely adolescent.

Robin Johnson, Editor at the Getty Information Institute began the session
by introducing herself to the attendees and asking them to introduce themselves
and any questions or topics. Most of the questions centered on the future
of the Vocabulary Program in light of the Gettys recent restructuring.
Robin confirmed the dissolution of the Getty Information Institute last
year and that the Vocabulary Program would continue at the Research Institute,
with the staff relocating there later this year. The primary topic in this
introductory update concerned the integration of the GII into the Getty
Research Institute (GRI), including issues pertaining to current staffing,
hierarchic responsibilities among the staff, and user benefits and suggestions
for improving the Vocabularies Program. When several of the attendees mentioned
that they would gladly lend support to ensure the future of the vocabularies,
she suggested all correspondence be addressed to Jim Bower, Interim Head
of Vocabularies.
Robin then began an overview of the vocabulary programs achievements
and changes over the past year. Staffing has been scaled down to
four full-time editors, an assistant, and two interns Nuria Rodriquez,
Spanish AAT, and Yelena Rakic, Ancient Site Names and Scope Notes for Styles
and Periods. Upon the move to the GRI, vocabularies staff will report
to the Head Librarian at GRI, a position yet to be filled at the date of
this meeting
Reports of the three vocabulary groups, the Art and Architecture Thesaurus (AAT), the Union List of Artists Names (ULAN), and the Thesaurus for Geographic Names (TGN), were presented by Ms. Johnson and reflected the topics covered at several meetings that took place dating back to May 1998. Among those, were the Joint Editors meeting held with Vocabulary, BHA and Avery Staff, and an indexing class conducted by Bella Haas-Weinberg. Concerning the AAT, statistical data comprised of the 2456 additional terms to the thesaurus was brought forth and broken down into categorical contributors such as BHA (254 terms), AVERY (224 terms), and the Mystic Seaport Museum (66 terms). Ambiguous terms, terms that changed other terms in the hierarchy and new conceptual terms were mentioned as last years term challenges for the AAT. Additionally, problems significant to the Scope Notes for Styles and Periods section of the AAT pertained to the needs of the user community, combining terms, related terms, and ancient and present day usage of the terms. At the date of this meeting, there were about 500 styles periods completed.
Pat Young spoke of CHINs involvement of the French equivalent to the
AAT, Artifacts Canada, a combination of the Artists in Canada, Union List
in Canada, and other humanities records. These records consist of
33 hierarchies matching Chenhalls classification system.
The ULAN demonstrated growth in contributions from 1998 to the
projections in 1999 (1986 and 4490 respectively). The contributors,
Ms. Johnson highlighted, were the Frick who primarily sent Spanish artists
names and NACO contributions, and, CCA whose names included photographers,
sculptors, printmakers, and draftsmen. Specific mention of the Gettys
involvement in the ULAN regarded their new project of loading IRIS records
as well as both updating and creating new records for the Photo Study Collection
and Provenance Index. Participants in the Users Group commented on
the need for adding fashion designers to the ULAN. Robin encouraged
these submissions to ULAN.
Like the AAT and ULAN, the 6000 records added to or edited in
the TGN over the last year confirmed the Vocabularies Programs goal to
ever increase and make these terms available to the users. Ms. Johnson
reported the Gettys inclusions of additional archeological site names
as well as ancient region names. Also, she mentioned that Finland
and England were countries that required changes for internal boundaries.
New subdivisions are also planned for addition, such as Nunavut, a newly
established territory in Canada. Improvements to the TGN resulted in REC
files becoming available on the Web and MARC formatting (although finished,
at the time of this meeting, MARC format was not yet available).
The GII has begun to update the AAT with monthly terms on the
web in conjunction with posting on VOCAB-L. In the near future ULAN
and TGN will be updated in the same manner. Even thought hard copies of
these materials are still available, there are current plans to put all
training materials on the web in addition to the existing one, Intro to
the Vocabularies http://www.gii.getty.edu/intro_vocabularies..
Future access to this website will be through the Getty Gateway.
Ms. Johnson made specific note of the discontinuation of the Bulletin
pointing out that all pertinent information will be posted on VOCAB-L.
The GII is, however, in the planning stages for what may replace the Bulletin
in the future.
Training sessions last year included several sessions given within the Getty, as well to the staff of companies such as Questor, and to MCN and VRA conference participants. The training responses from surveys taken at these sessions resulted in the addition of an Indexing module that is in the early planning stages at this time.
A future training seminar will take place in Los Angeles August
2-6, 1999 and will involve both the Getty and UCLA. The seminar,
entitled Museums, Libraries, and Archives Summer Institute for Knowledge
Sharing, will extensively explore theoretical and practical issues involving
knowledge creation, preservation, and sharing.
Maryly Snow, UC Berkeley Architecture Slide Library, requested discussion
of certain topics prior to the conference and sent them to Ms. Johnson
via e-mail. The first concerned the continuation of Avery Online
via AKA (a preference of RLG Eureka users). This access to Avery
will continue but it was noted that the information is outdated.
Updates are available only through Eureka or on CD-ROM. Next arose
the question of a more timely approach to searching for three sources of
warrant for terms to be added to the AAT. It was pointed out that
posting terms on the VOCAB-L would allow for a more consortial working
arrangement, especially for the more problematic terms. Emphasis
was made concerning the need for three sources to warrant any term.
A third question regarded the future of the vocabularies, which was covered
in Ms. Johnsons overview. Fourthly, a concern about the continuation
of the MARC tapes made available to institutions was resolved by the previously
mentioned statement that the files are mounted on the web. A license
will enable access to the files, a password assigned, and then the institution
will be able to download them.
AMICO There was a brief mention of the vision posed at an RLG
meeting that took place prior to the meeting, the AMICO database would
utilize the vocabularies. Subject and keyword searching in the AMICO database
proposes the need for controlled vocabularies.

LAS VEGAS -- Ken Griffey Jr., who'd love to play near his Orlando hometown, just might have a chance to play for the Tampa Bay Rays if their first several hitting/outfield options fall through.
SI.com reported last summer that Griffey was hoping to go to the Rays before the White Sox made a trade to get him.
The Rays are said to want to sign a bona fide hitter to a one-year deal and are thought to be considering Milton Bradley, Pat Burrell, Bobby Abreu, Jason Giambi, Raul Ibanez and possibly others, as well. Cliff Floyd, who did a great job for them last year as their designated hitter, is another possibility if he is healthy enough to return.
But many of the players figure to get multiyear contracts. Certainly, Bradley, Abreu and Ibanez should be able to do that. As it turns out, Griffey just might wind up fitting into the Rays' budget better, and he'd be thrilled with that, especially now that Tampa Bay is a contender.

Patty Andrews, last of the Andrews Sisters [1]trio, died [2] last week at 94. Amazing how a tune can be the gateway to an era, perhaps one not your own. My dad played drums in a big band during the late 1940s, for fun, and kept a small set after he was married that he would haul up and play along to old Glenn Miller 78s and Sinatra LPs and other great songs of the 30s and 40s and 50s. It worked out his frustrations, and as I lay in bed listening to the music on summer evenings it was like hearing the soundtrack to someone else's nostalgia. Which has apparently become my own.Nice video of Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy (of Company B) below, but I like this audio of "Bei Mir Bist Du Shein" [3] here.

Pope John Paul II 'regularly whipped himself'
Pope John Paul II regularly whipped himself with a trouser belt that he kept in his wardrobe and signed a secret document saying that would resign if he became incurably ill, a book published today reveals.
The book also described how, as a bishop in Poland, the future pontiff would often sleep on a bare floor as an act of self-denial and asceticism.
Msgr Oder, who like the former Pope is Polish, also revealed in the new book that John Paul had decided that in the event of an "incurable sickness" he would voluntarily step down rather than stay in office until his death.
He declared in 1989 that in "the case of sickness that is deemed to be incurable, which prevents me from sufficiently fulfilling the functions of my apostolic ministry," he would renounce his positions as the head of the Roman Catholic Church and the Bishop of Rome.
Senior Vatican cardinals would then have been entrusted with the task of putting the resignation into effect, after which a new Pope would have been elected.
Had he stepped down, he would have been the first Pope to do so willingly since 1294.

Broken telephone: the heavy price UAE firms are paying for miscommunication
Around 57 per cent of professionals polled in the UAE said that they have lost a client or a contract due to a lack of face-to-face meetings, according to a study by IHG Group's Crowne Plaza Hotels and Resorts.
The report found that a lack of face-to-face meetings has resulted in a yearly revenue loss of 26 per cent for UAE businesses.More than two thirds of the respondents said that the number of virtual meetings they attended has increased in the past five to 10 years as they opted for cost and time saving technologies such as video conferencing.
Despite a decline in the number of face-to-face meetings, the majority of Emirati business people polled – around 79 per cent – agreed that direct meetings are better for building long-term trust and strong client relationships."Face-to-face meetings afford participants opportunities to develop transparency and trust amongst each other, which would be limited through the use of other forms of communications," said Dr. Michelle Hunter, consultant business psychologist and programme leader on the business psychology programme at Heriot-Watt University Dubai.
"A major reason for this is that contact is a basic human need – this allows members to engage in and observe verbal and non-verbal behavioural styles, which can be captured in real-time."The study also revealed that the outcome of a meeting is dependent on the time of the day. The second day of the week was identified as the opportune time for a successful meeting in the UAE, the UK and the US while the first day of the week was found to be effective in India and China.
While face-to-face meetings have reduced year-on-year in the UAE, the country still scores high when compared to the global average.According to the survey, Emiratis prefer to conduct face-to-face meetings when starting a new business relationship, finalising a deal and during contract negotiations.
The majority of the Emiratis polled also said that connecting with business associates on social networks helped strengthen their relationship with the clients. Around 56 per cent opted for social networking site Facebook to connect with their business partners while 52 per cent said that they looked at an associate's LinkedIn page.
"Although developments in technology allow business men and women to make achievements in meetings that would have been impossible a few years back, meeting face-to-face continues to bring significant benefits that are much harder to obtain through virtual channels," said Hazel Carter-Showell, UK business psychologist and body language expert."One of these benefits is building trust, which research has shown is behind many profitable companies. Trusted companies have higher morale, productivity, lower employee turnover and create deeper relationships with their customers."

Exhaust Gas
Wärtsilä Scrubbers for Three More Color Line Ships
Wärtsilä has been contracted to retrofit its Open Loop Scrubber systems on three additional vessels owned by Color Line, Norway's largest cruise and ferry operator. With the latest contract, Wärtsilä's now has 36 shipsets, totalling 75 scrubber units, either already installed or in the pipeline. Each vessel will be fitted with four systems designed to rid the ships' exhaust gases of harmful sulphur oxide (SOx) and particulate emissions. The Wärtsilä systems will enable the vessels to comply with current and anticipated environmental legislation, and to operate without restrictions in Emissions Control Areas (ECAs). The contract was signed in September 2013 and it follows a similar order placed in June 2013 to retrofit Color Line's SuperSpeed II ferry. The new contract covers the company's SuperSpeed I, Color Magic and Color Fantasy ships. SuperSpeed I sails between Norway and Denmark, while the other two vessels link Oslo, Norway with Kiel, Germany. In addition to the equipment delivery, Wärtsilä has also assumed responsibility for the basic and detailed engineering and for the installation supervision. "We see an increasing interest in our capability to supply turnkey installations," said Leonardo Sonzio, Director, Retrofit, Environmental Solutions, Wärtsilä Ship Power

Automated Rapid Screening of Foods for the Presence of Salmonellae
Authors: Peng, Hui; Shelef, Leora A.
Source: Journal of Food Protection®, Number 11, November 1999, pp. 1243-1357 , pp. 1341-1345(5)
We previously reported an accelerated method to detect salmonellae in foods. It consisted of a preenrichment step (6 h) followed by immunomagnetic separation (IMS) and automated detection, based on positive biochemical characteristics, during overnight incubation. We describe here a simplified procedure with a detection limit of 2 CFU/25 g of food, a procedure that does not require the IMS step. Liquid eggs, milk, ice cream, or poultry were inoculated with Salmonella or non-Salmonella Enterobacteriaceae organisms (2 to 100 CFU/25 g). Following preenrichment for 6 h at 35 C, samples (3 ml) were added to selective liquid media (6 ml). Automated light transmittance was recorded during incubation at 42 C in the BioSys instrument. Salmonella-positive samples were identified by a sharp drop in transmittance (caused by black discoloration of the media) within 18 h of incubation following the formation of hydrogen sulfide and its reaction with iron ions. Detection of 2 to 10 CFU/25 g of the tested foods was completed in 24 h. A total of 24 Salmonella spp., including heat-injured cells, and 37 non-Salmonella Enterobacteriaceae were tested using the procedure.Document Type: Research Article

Cougars enjoying that winning feeling again
Saturday's improbable 10-7 victory over No. 25 USC might augur well for the future, considering how WSU's schedule unfolds.
The Spokesman-Review
LOS ANGELES — The lobby emptied shortly after 1 a.m. at the Renaissance Hotel early Sunday morning, a handful of men wearing Washington State gear shuffling toward the elevator with joyful exhaustion.
"Man," one of them said, "winning sure is a lot more fun than losing."
There has been much of the latter and little of the former for the Cougars during the past five years. But Saturday's improbable 10-7 victory over No. 25 USC might augur well for the future, considering how WSU's schedule unfolds.
Awaiting Saturday is Southern Utah, an FCS school and a member of the Big Sky Conference. The Cougars should be heavily favored.
So they will be the next week, when hapless rival Idaho (0-2) visits Martin Stadium, where the Cougars should have a fine opportunity to improve their record to 3-1. That would set up an interesting game against Stanford at CenturyLink Field in Seattle on Sept. 28.
"It's a start. That's what we're taking it as," said left tackle Gunnar Eklund. " ... We're just going to keep getting better."
In many ways, they already have. Coach Mike Leach spent much of last season lamenting WSU's woe-is-us attitude, often criticizing his team for either failing to maintain focus after pulling into the lead, or for hanging their heads after falling behind.
There hasn't been any of that through WSU's first two games. Week 1's 31-24 loss at Auburn was frustrating in its outcome, but the Cougars were adamant afterward that they could have — no, should have — won.
And Leach said it was obvious that even as they struggled their way through Saturday's game, there was a belief that they would be the ones celebrating when it was over.
"I really believe the second half coming out of the locker room, we really believed we were going to win, and that seemed to accelerate there in the fourth quarter," Leach said. "Nothing had really happened, but I do think our composure and confidence rose in the fourth quarter."

Phillis Wheatley (1753 – 5 December 1784 / Gambia)
On The Death Of A Young Lady Of Five Years Of Age
FROM dark abodes to fair etherial light
Th' enraptur'd innocent has wing'd her flight;
On the kind bosom of eternal love
She finds unknown beatitude above.
This known, ye parents, nor her loss deplore,
She feels the iron hand of pain no more;
The dispensations of unerring grace,
Should turn your sorrows into grateful praise;
Let then no tears for her henceforward flow,
No more distress'd in our dark vale below,
Her morning sun, which rose divinely bright,
Was quickly mantled with the gloom of night;
But hear in heav'n's blest bow'rs your Nancy fair,
And learn to imitate her language there.
"Thou, Lord, whom I behold with glory crown'd,
"By what sweet name, and in what tuneful sound
"Wilt thou be prais'd? Seraphic pow'rs are faint
"Infinite love and majesty to paint.
"To thee let all their graceful voices raise,
"And saints and angels join their songs of praise."
Perfect in bliss she from her heav'nly home
Looks down, and smiling beckons you to come;
Why then, fond parents, why these fruitless groans?
Restrain your tears, and cease your plaintive moans.
Freed from a world of sin, and snares, and pain,
Why would you wish your daughter back again?
No--bow resign'd. Let hope your grief control,
And check the rising tumult of the soul.
Calm in the prosperous, and adverse day,
Adore the God who gives and takes away;
Eye him in all, his holy name revere,
Upright your actions, and your hearts sincere,
Till having sail'd through life's tempestuous sea,
And from its rocks, and boist'rous billows free,
Yourselves, safe landed on the blissful shore,
Shall join your happy babe to part no more.

Comments about this poem (On The Death Of A Young Lady Of Five Years Of Age by Phillis Wheatley )
Soumyashree Kar
Such a wonderful, excellent and heart-touching piece of work.....i can't believe this a mortal deed....so much filled with warmth my heart sobbed at every word and eyes wet....
I admire ur every knowledge-craft......an unerring 10! ! ! ! ! -
Ramesh T A
Indeed there is no point in moaning for the departed soul from this temporary abode to permanent abode! The poet has wonderfully listed points to console the grieving mother advising her to seek heaven to meet her daughter to be permanently with her!
Kevin Straw
I think she is wrong in her psychology. To weep for the loss of a child is normal and in the long run healthy. When people leave each other they weep, it is as simple as that. I wonder if PW wept for the loss of her two children. PW is coming close to saying that weeping for the loss of a child is against God's ordinance. To lose a child is like receiving a wound - it will heal, but you cannot help weeping for it.
Is It Poetry
There is more here to the eye than modern dissection...
With racism today even more deadly than that which she endured..
Many of her formative years..were without doubt traumatic..
and what is today known of the damage..to the mind is of course without question..learning in the manner in which she did...speaks more than just to..
the core of strength she most obviously possessed..education acquired..
and her bearing being such..that she was introduced...to those whom discerned again as much...no not even that....but more...and that manner of speech...
undoubtedly but sadly...lost forever...and in such a short time...put her short life against her male counterparts...would they have over come..and still be here to be read about...let us hope so...for what crushes most...he himself keeps close...
for the rest...to become the best.... -

A far cry from a Hallmark card, that's for sure, despite Richard Lord's dismissal of a poem written centuries ago. 'Nicely wrought poesy, but a bad, bad poem, ' he asserts with the priggish assurance of a modern poetaster who seems unaware of his own ignorance. Too bad Lord wasn't stirred enough to write his own poem addressed to this theme for our time!
Read the poems by Lord posted on this site and make your own unbiased judgment as to his skills as a first rate poet. He may well fancy himself a latter day Dylan Thomas. -
Richard Lord
I find this poem to be a longish and slightly more accomplished version of a Hallmark Cards sympathy card. I'd classify it as a prime example of poetasty; nicely wrought poetasty, but ultimately a bad, bad poem.
And I'd like to point out that I am a deeply committed Christian who believes in anafterlife and a heavenly state where we can be in the presncne of God and all those in the communion of saints who have gone before us. But this piece does nothing to stir me - except stir me to write this comment.
Maybe we need a poem addresed to this theme for out time. (BTW: Dylan Thomas' attempts at dealing with this theme were much better than what Wheatley gives us here.) -

Halo Liv-a-Littles Grain-Free 100% Wild Salmon Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats Customer Reviews
Halo Liv-a-Littles Grain-Free 100% Wild Salmon Freeze-Dried Dog & Cat Treats
Expensive Snack
This is an expensive snack but my Bengals like it. The problem is that it is very small pieces because it is Salmon and it flakes. So I crush it up and put it on top of their Tuna.
August 22, 2012
My animals fight over this
We have three cats and a chihuahua. One of the cats and the dog are very finicky, with the dog enjoying only cat food at this point. I give them all Liv-A-Littles salmon treats as a noontime snack, and they leap in the air, fighting to get the first nibble. It's a "clean" product, only 100% pure salmon, so I feel confident they're getting the best possible food. It's useful, too, to break up the chunks into fine powder to sprinkle over food when animals turn up their noses at what you've put in the bowl. It serves as an enticement to eat.
September 10, 2013
Our small dogs love them !
When I opened the package for the first time, I was a little skeptical. There was a slight fishy smell. But our 3 dogs love them. I give them to our dogs as a special little treat 3 or 4 times a week. Maybe a couple pieces to each.
August 25, 2012
I thought my cats would love these treats, but boy was I wrong. They smell great but that's it. They are like the consistency of a styrofoam packing peanut only in sqaures. I did get one of my cats to eat one, but now she won't eat them anymore. They cost more than I like to spend, but I wanted to try something new to treat them. Save your money!
February 21, 2013
If I could give 6 stars I would!
Not only did all 3 kitties and 1 dog LOVE these, my 6 year old tabby literally tried to climb my leg to get more after I gave him the first one. Enough said.
February 6, 2014
The cats drool for this. The only problem is that unlike the freeze dried chicken, the salmon is hard to break into little pieces. It is even hard to cut with a knife.
I would still get it again.
July 22, 2013
My cats enjoy this but I have to crunch it up into very small pieces and the salmon is difficult to that with
February 15, 2013
Our rescued Westiepoo LOVES them!!
He loves seafood! I mix it in with his Wellness Core Ocean Recipe dry food, which he also loves. No more problems with him eating, he gobbles it up. Will continue to purchase this product from Chewy.com.

About This Data
ProPublica obtained prescribing data from Medicare's prescription drug benefit, known as Part D, under the Freedom of Information Act. The data for 2011 includes nearly 1.2 billion prescriptions written by 1.6 million doctors, nurses and other providers. This database lists about 364,000 of those providers who wrote 50 or more prescriptions for at least one drug that year. About three-fourths went to patients 65 and older; the rest were for disabled patients. Methodology »
- No comparisons are shown if 10 or fewer prescribers in the state share this specialty.
- The list of top drugs includes only those for which this provider wrote 50 or more prescriptions, but all prescriptions are counted in the summary totals at the top.
- The calculation of "Risky Drugs to Seniors" does not include drugs for which a provider wrote 11 or fewer prescriptions because Medicare redacted the information to protect patient privacy.
- Comparisons do not take into account the medical conditions of patients. Medications for certain conditions do not have generic alternatives, so patients would receive more expensive brand name drugs.
- This provider's address and specialty information was last updated on Sept. 30, 2010.

Underage "Gossip Girl" actress and raccoon-eyed wannabe Courtney Love rocker, Taylor Momsen has pulled a Miley Cyrus and ticked off a powerful parents organization for her sexed up, gun-toting magazine cover.
The Parents Television Council -- the same group that criticized Miley's new controversial music video -- believes parents should be "alarmed" with the 17-year-old (who is also the face of Madonna's clothing line, Material Girl) posing on the cover of the hard rock mag Revolver "wearing lingerie, gun belt and nothing else."
PTC further states, "By posing in this way, with guns in hand, she is making guns and violence seem sexy, and contributing to the already epidemic problem of kids' overexposure to hyper-sexualized media content, which has been linked to depression, eating disorders, and sexual risk-taking."
A rep for Taylor was unavailable for comment.
Regardless of her age she looks retarded. Knowing she's just just 16 makes her parents, her "people", the magazine and the photographer retarded also.
How about these people take responsibility of their own children and stop blaming everyone else for their failures as parents. Miley and Taylor can be as nasty as they wanna be, it's their life. They are not babysitters. Being in the spotlight does not mean a person has to be a role model.
And at 17 years old I knew full well what I was doing sexually so all the underage/pedophillia hysteria is a bunch of anti-female propaganda. Another way to oppress the sexuality of women and diminish our rights. Pedophiles should only be changed if the kid is 13 or under imo. Even at 14 I knew how to handle myself sexually. Innocence fades at about 12 so people need to stop trying to prolong childhood well after it's over.
miley and taylor = two immature brats - wanna be sluts
the new goal for teenage girls = looking and acting like whores?!!! simply pathetic.
Actors/actresses dont get into this to be role models. people shouldnt expect so much from them
What is sad and pathetic is these girls in media today are bought and sold on their sexualization more than ever, in the pseudo-feminist guise it "empowers" them. BULLSHI$ - wake up. You are nothing but shills for male dominated hollywood/media in the whorification of women everywhere. You look like an idiot, and young girls will clamor to be idiots because celebrity, of the lowest order, has become the main goal of superficial, vacuous drones looking to get "famous". You are a prostitute, girl, plain and simple. No one sees talent (lack thereof) because all you will ever be, until the age of 30 (then you will be a 'hag'), is a piece of celluloid trash to be jerked off to, and YOU will never be known for anything worthwhile. The media is the main factor in the dumbing down & sluttification of all women. Quit playing into the hands of a sick industry that makes you look like a vile skank.The Meryl Streeps and Katherine Hepburns of the world are long gone thanks to plastic surgery and youth obsessesion in this culture. Momsen-you are nothing but a skag blowup doll to the world. Sad. Girls, women, it IS worse than ever. Time to wake up and boycott Hollywood, plastic surgery, and endeavor to do more than show your ti$s on film.
Why should the parents be worried about this, if they were decent parents their children should not be reading a magazine about guns so therefore they would not see this picture of her, it is up to the parents to censor what their children see, not the media.
1. What young kid is going to read this magazine anyway???
Posted at 12:24 PM on Oct 14, 2010 by cdwight101
Who BUT a young kid Taylor's age would be reading this magazine? Revolver is a rock & roll music magazine specifically marketed to kids Taylor's age and younger. Not many adults get excited over a magazine which boasts on the cover that there is a "FREE Slipknot Poster!!!!" inside of the magazine.
Theirs always some damn group that's gonna have a problem with everything celebrities do. Hey, they got what it takes to make the money so let them make it. Obviously, her parents weren't too worried about it.
this chic is a f.cking train wreck. shes UGLY and talentless. who allows a 17 year old to wear that.. her parents should be arrested. where is DSS when you need them. Not to mention why would the producers of gossip girl allow this trashbag to control her character on the show. learn how to dress and wash your hair. ps her band blows its a bunch of 30 year old nobodies.
It's a really sad freaking day when the PTC are actually right about something. And they are a bunch of idiots, believe that. But this girl is too young to be doing all this. Controversy just for the sake of it went out a long time ago. Guns and underwear can be sexy I guess, just not on a freaking teenager for God's sake.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
I'm not a lumberjack: his job's better
My job sucks!
For the benefit of my beneficent employers, I would hasten to add this is not my opinion.
No, this is the opinion of the heartless research analysts at CareerCast.com, a prestigious job-search and career-guidance website that, for the last 25 years, has evaluated 200 professions to determine the best and worst jobs available.
CareerCast.com ranks these professions from best to worst on four "core criteria" -- work environment, income, stress and hiring outlook -- and this year "newspaper reporter" was officially declared the worst job imaginable, trailing the entire (bad word) pack at No. 200.
Sure, we defend the public's right to know, and in the movies we're portrayed by hunky actors (for the record, "actor" is the fourth-worst job) like Robert Redford, but that doesn't impress CareerCast.com, which describes the life of an ink-stained wretch as follows:
"Newspaper reporters have fared poorly in the report for years due to the job's high stress and tight deadlines, low pay and requirement to work in all conditions to get the story. Ever-shrinking newsrooms, dwindling budgets and competition from Internet businesses have created a very difficult environment, finally driving the position to dead last on this year's Jobs Rated Report."
Well, thanks, CareerCast.com. Thanks a lot. I know what you newspaper readers are thinking right now. You are thinking: "Reporter is the worst job in the world? Seriously? What about dentists?"
I am, of course, kidding around in a light-hearted manner. I faced the wrath of the dental community a few years back when, in a moment of madness, I wrote a column suggesting dentists enjoy poking people with pointy metal instruments simply because they need to make payments on their yachts.
In hindsight, that was a stupid thing to say. I now realize not all dentists have yachts. Out of journalistic fairness, I should point out dentists (No. 42 on the list) and dental hygienists (an impressive No. 6) are hugely respected compared with us lowly journalists and also have cleaner teeth and fresher breath.
Last year, you'll recall, reporter was rated the fifth-worst job on CareerCast.com's list, but this year we managed to displace lumberjack -- which had held the No. 200 spot for a couple of years -- as the worst job in the world of work.
Admittedly, there are some drawbacks to being a reporter, such as you never know when you will get a nasty paper cut or when an editor will order you to leave the safety of your office cubicle and come into direct contact with the public or, even worse, a politician.
Still, I'm not sure being scolded for improper use of the semi-colon is as menacing as having a medically valuable limb lopped off by a chainsaw or being flattened into a plaid-coloured stain by a pine tree larger than the Richardson Building.
Which somehow brings us to the top job in the world. Prepare to be confused, because this year "software engineer" was bounced out of the No. 1 spot in the rankings by (dramatic pause) the glamorous position of "actuary."
This raises a troubling journalistic question, namely: What the (very bad word) is an actuary? Perhaps someone who has spoken to one -- and remained awake during the conversation -- could write in and let us know.
According to CareerCast.com, however, an actuary is a person who, typically for insurance purposes, "interprets statistics to determine probabilities of accidents, sickness and death, and loss of property from theft and natural disasters."
Now that actuaries are No. 1, you can bet their social lives will be getting more statistically significant.
Girl in bar: "Can I buy you a drink, big boy?"
Actuary: "Statistics show drinking increases your risk of sudden death by 39.333 per cent, 19 times out of 20."
Girl in bar: "What a turn-on! Let's go back to my place!"
For now, I'd like to reassure any actuary who is currently considering suing me that I am kidding in a non-libellous manner. In fact, I think it would be fun to hang out with people in the No. 1 job in the world. You could crunch the numbers and let us know exactly when we'll be beaten to death by lumberjacks.
As for my fellow downtrodden journalists, yes, we're struggling to survive in a harsh digital age, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel -- we literally have nowhere to go but up!

Dead Sea from Amman
By Viator, December 2013
It's easy to remain buoyant in the Dead Sea and floating in its warm, mineral-rich waters is an experience that should not be missed! Its water and the Dead Sea mud - that can easily be scooped from the sea floor - have long been acclaimed for their healing properties.
Flanked by mountains to the east and the hills of Jerusalem to the west, the Dead Sea area is believed to have been home to five Biblical cities: Sodom, Gomorrah, Adman, Zebouin and Zoar (Bela).
