The McDonnell Douglas KC-10 Extender is the military version of the three-engined DC-10 airliner operated by the United States Air Force (USAF).[N 1] The KC-10 incorporates military-specific equipment for its primary roles of transport and aerial refueling. It was developed to supplement the KC-135 Stratotanker following experiences in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The KC-10 was the second McDonnell Douglas transport aircraft to be selected by the Air Force following the C-9. A total of 60 KC-10s were produced for the USAF. The Royal Netherlands Air Force operates two similar tankers designated KDC-10 that were converted from DC-10s.
The KC-10 plays a key role in the mobilization of US military assets, taking part in overseas operations far from home. These aircraft performed airlift and aerial refueling during the 1986 bombing of Libya (Operation Eldorado Canyon), the 1990-91 Gulf War with Iraq (Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm), the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force), War in Afghanistan (Operations Enduring Freedom), and Iraq War (Operations Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn). The KC-10 is expected to serve until 2043, but the USAF is considering an earlier retirement of the fleet.[2]
Design and development[edit]
Requirement and design effort[edit]
The KC-10 Extender was born out of the need to augment the Air Force's large fleet of more than 700 Boeing KC-135 Stratotankers. During the Vietnam War, doubts began to be raised regarding the KC-135s' ability to meet the needs of the United States' global commitments. The aerial refueling fleet was deployed to Southeast Asia to support tactical aircraft and strategic bombers, while maintaining the U.S.-based support of the nuclear-bomber fleet. Consequently, the Air Force sought an aerial tanker with greater capabilities than the KC-135. In 1972 two DC-10s were flown in trials at Edwards Air Force Base, simulating air refuelings to check for possible wake issues. Boeing performed similar tests with a 747.[3]
During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the Air Force commenced Operation Nickel Grass to supply Israel with weapons and supplies. The operation demonstrated the necessity for adequate air-refueling capabilities; denied landing rights in Europe, C-5 Galaxy transports were forced to carry a fraction of their maximum payload on direct flights from the continental United States to Israel.[4][5] To address this shortfall in mobility, in 1975, under the Advanced Tanker Cargo Aircraft Program, four aircraft were evaluated –– the Lockheed C-5, the Boeing 747, the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, and the Lockheed L-1011.[6] The only serious contenders were Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. On 19 December 1977, McDonnell Douglas's DC-10 was chosen. The primary reason of this choice was the KC-10's ability to operate from shorter runways.[5] Initially, a batch of 12 aircraft was ordered, but this was later increased to 60.[5]
The KC-10 Extender first flew on 12 July 1980, but it was not until October the same year that the first aerial refuel sortie was performed.[7][8] The design for the KC-10 involved modifications from the DC-10-30CF design. Unnecessary airline features were replaced by an improved cargo-handling system and military avionics.[9] Meanwhile, the KC-10 retains 88% commonality with its commercial counterparts, giving it greater access to the worldwide commercial support system.[5] Other changes from the DC-10-30CF include the removal of most windows and lower cargo doors.[10] Early aircraft featured a distinctive light gray, white and blue paint scheme, but a gray-green camouflage scheme was used on later tankers. The paint scheme was switched to a medium gray color by the late 1990s.[11]
The most notable changes were the addition of the McDonnell Douglas Advanced Aerial Refueling Boom (AARB) and additional fuel tanks located in the baggage compartments below the main deck. The extra tanks increase the KC-10's fuel capacity to 356,000 lb (161,478 kg), nearly doubling the KC-135's capacity.[7] The KC-10 has both a centerline refueling boom and a drogue-and-hose system on the starboard side of the rear fuselage. The KC-10 boom operator is located in the rear of the aircraft with wide window for monitoring refueling. The operator controls refueling operations through a digital fly-by wire system.[1][11][12] Unlike the KC-135, the KC-10's hose-and-drogue system allows refueling of Navy, Marine Corps, and most allied aircraft, all in one mission.[7] The final twenty KC-10s produced included wing-mounted pods for added refueling locations.[3] In addition to its tanking role, the KC-10 can carry a complement 75 personnel with 146,000 lb (66,225 kg) of cargo, or 170,000 lb (77,110 kg) in an all-cargo configuration.[7] The KC-10 has a side cargo door for loading and unloading cargo. Handling equipment is required to raise and lower loads to the cargo opening.
Further developments[edit]
A need for new transport aircraft for the Royal Netherlands Air Force (Koninklijke Luchtmacht) was first identified in 1984.[13] The 1991 Gulf War highlighted the deficiencies in mobility of European forces.[14] In 1991 four categories of transport requirements were established. Category A required a large cargo aircraft with a range of at least 4,500 km and the capability to refuel F-16s. In 1992, two DC-10-30CFs were acquired from Martinair in a buy/leaseback contract. When one of the two aircraft was lost in the Martinair Flight 495 crash, a third aircraft was bought from Martinair.[13]
The conversion was handled via the United States foreign military sales program, which in turn contracted McDonnell Douglas. Costs for the conversion were initially estimated at $89.5 million (FY 1994). The aircraft was to be equipped with both a boom and a probe and drogue system. However, because McDonnell Douglas did not have any experience with the requested Remote Aerial Refueling Operator (RARO) system, and because the third aircraft differed from the original two, the program could not be completed at budget. By omitting the probe and drogue system and a fixed partition wall between the cargo and passenger, the cost could be limited at $96 million. To make up for the cost increase McDonnell Douglas hired Dutch companies to do part of the work. The actual converting of the aircraft for instance was done by KLM. Conversion of the aircraft was done from October 1994 to September 1995 for the first aircraft and from February to December 1995 for the second. This was much longer than planned, mostly because McDonnell Douglas delivered the parts late. This would have again increased the cost, but in the contract for the AH-64 Apaches which the Royal Netherlands Air Force also bought from McDonnell Douglas, the price was agreed to be kept at $96 million.[13]
To modernize the platform, the USAF has awarded a contract to Boeing in 2010 to upgrade the fleet of 59 aircraft with new communication, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management (CNS/ATM) system. This is to allow the aircraft to fly in civil airspace as new ICAO and FAA standards take effect in 2015.[15] Rockwell Collins has also been awarded a contract in 2011 for avionics and systems integration for the cockpit modernization program.[16][17]
Operational history[edit]
United States[edit]
The first KC-10s was delivered to the Air Force's Strategic Air Command (SAC) in March 1981 at Barksdale AFB; the 60th and final KC-10 arrived on 29 November 1988.[18] The KC-10s served with SAC until 1992, when they were re-assigned to the newly established Air Mobility Command. In the aerial refueling role, the KC-10s have been operated largely in the strategic refueling of large number of tactical aircraft on ferry flights and the refueling of other strategic transport aircraft. Conversely, the KC-135 fleet has operated largely in the in-theater tactical role. There are 59 KC-10 Extenders in service with the USAF as of 2010.[1][15] The USAF's KC-10s are stationed primarily at Travis AFB, California, and McGuire AFB, New Jersey.
When faced with refusals of basing and overflight rights from continental European countries during Operation El Dorado Canyon, the U.S. was forced to use the UK-based F-111s in the 1986 air-strikes against Libya. The KC-10s and KC-135s allowed 29 F-111s, along with other Air Force and Navy aircraft, to reach their targets.[19] The KC-10 again played a key role during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm in 1991; KC-10s facilitated the deployment of tactical, strategic, and transport aircraft to Saudi Arabia. In the early stages of Operation Desert Shield, aerial refueling was key to the rapid airlift of materiel and forces. In addition to refueling airlift aircraft, the KC-10, along with the smaller KC-135, moved thousands of tons of cargo and thousands of troops in support of the massive buildup. The KC-10 and the KC-135 conducted about 51,700 separate refueling operations and delivered 125 million gallons (475 million liters) of fuel without missing a single scheduled rendezvous.[1]
Since then, the KC-10 had participated in other smaller conflicts. In March 1999, NATO launched Operation Allied Force against the government of Yugoslavia. The mobility portion of the operation began in February and was heavily dependent on tankers. By early May 1999, some 150 KC-10s and KC-135s deployed to Europe where they refueled bombers, fighters and support aircraft engaged in the conflict. The KC-10 flew 409 missions throughout the entire Allied Force campaign and continued support operations in Kosovo.[1] Since 11 September 2001, KC-10s had also flown more than 350 missions guarding U.S. skies as a part of Operation Noble Eagle. During Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, KC-10s have flown more than 1,390 missions delivering critical air refueling support to numerous joint and Coalition receiver aircraft.[1] KC-10s are expected to serve until 2043.[20]
The Air Force is considering retiring its fleet of KC-10 tankers in response to sequestration budget cuts. The option was being considered as part of the service's FY 2015 budget. The Air Force requires 479 tanker aircraft, with most of the refueling fleet made up of 1950s-era KC-135s, while there are only several dozen KC-10s. One of the service's top priorities is the KC-46 tanker to replace one-third of its Cold War-era KC-135 fleet. Having three tanker models in service is costly and prevents acquisition of the new fleet. Because a "horizontal cut" across the refueling fleets would achieve small efficiencies across a large force, a "vertical chop" is being considered to divest all KC-10s to achieve greater savings over a shorter timeline.[21] Some believe retiring the KC-10 would not benefit the Air Force, given that it is equipped with both boom and hose-and-drogue refueling systems, the fleet's relatively young age, and its importance for movement across the Pacific.[2] At first, officials claimed that the initial focus on retiring the KC-10 in September 2013 was a "trial balloon" to call attention to Air Force operating cost issues. As of early 2013, the KC-10 had a per hour flying cost of $21,170 and a mission capable rate of 87 percent. The 59-aircraft KC-10 fleet has no structural or fatigue issues and serves as a cargo transport as well as a tanker.[22] A FY 2015 budget plan does not include cuts to the KC-10, but the fleet is in danger of being retired during FY 2016 if sequestration is not repealed.[23]
The two Dutch KDC-10s are used for both refueling and transport.[24] They are stationed on Eindhoven Airport as part of the 334th Transport Squadron. Of the 5,500 hours flown in the first 3 years of use, the aircraft were used in their tanker role for 50% of the time. Besides being used by the air force and NATO allies, the KDC-10s are also used to support peacekeeping and humanitarian aid operations. Of the first three years, 32% of the flight hours were used for peacekeeping and humanitarian aid.[13]
In this function, the aircraft have been deployed to Kosovo to evacuate refugees, to the Caribbean and Central America to provide humanitarian aid after the hurricanes Luis, Georges and Mitch and to various countries in Africa and Asia to provide development aid. In 1998, the aircraft were also used to evacuate Dutch citizens from Indonesia during the Fall of Suharto. Dutch KDC-10s have been operating out of Manas AFB in support of allied forces during Operation Enduring Freedom.
Civilian operators[edit]
Commercial refueling companies Omega Aerial Refueling Services and Global Air Tanker Service operate two KDC-10 tankers (N974VV and N852V, respectively) for lease.[25][26] They were converted from DC-10-40s and provide both boom, and probe and drogue refueling capabilities similar to the KC-10.[27] In June and July 2011, Omega Air's KDC-10 supported 3 of Royal Australian Air Force's F/A-18 Hornets, en route to Red Flag – Alaska.[28]

LCH and Haussmann found the key to longevity is going where others fear to tread

The loss of faith in funds of funds has happened for a number of reasons. The first is simple evolution. A decade ago, many investors wanted to invest in hedge funds and they bought FoHFs as they had little knowledge or understanding.
Ten years later they are now savvier and want to try investing directly. The stories of General Motors and the California Public Employees Retirement System illustrate this perfectly. To this day, CalPERS still works with funds of funds, albeit in a different...

Raising Muslim Achievement: Parents, Curriculum and Schools Date: Saturday 28th April 2012 Venue: Queen Mary University, Mile End, London There are over 400,000 Muslim pupils in full-time school education, more than 96% of whom are being educated in the maintained (state) sector. There is a substantial lack of representation and involvement from the Muslim community in the state school sector particularly on school governing bodies and the teaching profession. Significant challenges include academic underachievement for a large proportion of Muslim children and the development of Islamic character, e.g. issues relating to spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We consider the active and influential participation of the Muslim community in maintained (state) schools to be essential in bringing about significant improvements in the educational fortunes of Muslim children.

Required Textbooks for Courses
Students may view the textbooks required for clasess in two places, on their COIN account or at the Campus Store's website. The UMass Dartmouth Campus Store carries all required and recommended texts of UMD. Textbooks for fall day classes go on sale in early August and Continuing Education PCE course books go on sale one week before class is scheduled to start. All textbooks can be purchased in-store or at our online store. The UMass Dartmouth Store carries the largest selection of New and Used Textbooks for courses. We work with faculty and an aggressive book recycling/buyback program to offer books at 30% discount. Textbooks are arranged in alpha-numerical order, by a three letter course abbreviation, course number and section; for example, ACT 101-01. Please refer to your COIN course schedule when choosing textbooks. You must have your course schedule printed and with you for assistance in the textbook department.
eBooks Digital Textbooks
The UMass Dartmouth Campus Store provides digital textbooks, a cost-saving electronic alternative to printed textbooks, for selected digitally available titles. The bookstore's decision to participate in the Universal Digital Textbooks Program™ reflects a deep commitment to delivering a proactive response to the high-cost-of-textbooks discussion. The store believes that introducing a lower-priced electronic textbook option, in addition to the new and used print versions of certain titles, offers students an important choice when it comes to both price and learning environment.
eBooks versions of the text offer students the opportunity to save up to 40% off of the new book price. Unlike printed textbooks, which may or may not have buyback value at the end of the term, eBooks offer upfront savings at the time of purchase and are not subject to buyback.
In addition to presenting significant upfront savings, downloadable eBooks offer students the convenience of bringing the text wherever they bring their laptops. As well, eBooks transform the learning environment into an interactive experience where students use free reader software to search the text, highlight, take notes and make comments, and print selections as desired. Many eBooks also offer read-out-loud capability. Most eBooks never expire and have no printing limitations, however, a few titles expire 12 months after download and restrict printing to 100 pages per week. In these cases, limitations will be noted on the eBooks cards that students will use to purchase their digital textbooks.
eBooks are available to students on-line or as cards in-store. On line customers will receive a code and instructions via e-mail. In store eBook purchases are shelf cards, similar to electronic gift cards and phone service cards, and can be obtained in the textbook department as an alternative to the new and used versions of the printed text. A student who chooses to purchase an eBook will present the card to the cashier, who activates the card by swiping it at the register. The student can then download the book. There are currently more than 1600 titles in the Universal Digital Textbooks program, with more being added all of the time.
The information contained within eBooks is copyright protected in accordance with Digital Rights Management rules. These rules protect intellectual property by allowing a single download to a single computer, setting the length of time that the book can be accessed on the computer (ranging from 12 months to unlimited availability, depending on the publisher), and using an encoding technique that prevents file sharing. While students cannot share eBooks, they can make backup copies to prevent data loss in case of computer failure.
To purchase an eBook, or for more information about this money-saving option, visit the Textbook Department of the Campus Store, 508-999-8419.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Steven Romano has a lot on his plate.
By day, he manages the GROW entrepreneurial program at Charleston Area Alliance, helping people start and cultivate businesses. In the evenings, he does the Superman costume change and suits up to teach kickboxing classes at two local gyms. Also in his busy mix, Steven is working on plans to start his own business.
When I learned that he grows a garden and cans his harvest, I knew we needed to chat outside the business classroom. I had a million questions, beginning with "Where do you find the time? Do you have time for an interview? May we photograph your canned peppers? Your garden?"
I was not prepared for his response: "I will teach you! Let's can together, I have everything we need, and I'm off on Thursday nights." I did not hesitate -- "Yes, Thursday, perfect!"
I've been cooking my whole life and began teaching my craft many years ago. Canning, however, has never entered my repertoire. Until that Thursday, and now I'm converted.
Steven and I had a ball in the kitchen. He brought his 'canning bible,' "The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving," and borrowed some simple canning equipment from a friend. We worked together, blanching, peeling and quartering market tomatoes, which were briefly cooked and then canned in quart jars. We also capped and smashed gem-like strawberries for jam. As we transferred the fragrant strawberry jam into smaller jars, Steven exclaimed, "Doesn't that just look good!"
We removed all of our hot jars from their canning baths and watched and listened for the lids to pop. "This is the really fun part! Because if the lids pop, that's when you know you've done it right. That's when you know you're a canner," he said.
Steven's philosophy is totally contagious. "I think it's absolutely fun! The whole home gardening thing is sweeping. You enjoy fresh produce now and can for later. It makes me self-sufficient. I'm home canning everything for Christmas presents."
There are books and guides and seasoned experts on the subject of canning. Team up with an experienced friend, get your hands on some great produce and do some canning. It's a rewarding project to conquer together and you'll have lots of food that's ready to quickly assemble into delicious meals.
Note: As I was writing, my mom called from Florida. "How's your column coming along," she asked. I explained the topic and, go figure, she had just finished canning her backyard mango harvest into chutney for Christmas gifts. 'Tis the season to do some canning!
Tomato Basil Bisque
Add some fresh baby spinach at the end of cooking to make a Florentine variation
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

Fanbois will get wet queuing for iPad 3
Sydney, Newcastle, Melbourne and Brisbane each have a better than 75% chance of rain on 16 March, the day Apple will put the new iPad (which our US bureau covers in magnificent detail) on sale in its Australian retail stores. Even Perth, the other city graced with an Apple store, has a 25-50 per cent chance of rain on the day. …
Admit it...
You only checked the weather because you were planning on being first in line...
They won't notice - they'll be moist with anticipation anyway. How much does it cost to hire a water cannon?
"The iPad two remains on sale at $439 for the base model"
JB Hi-Fi still have them at $553 in store and online. It should be $429 for the base model (http://store.apple.com/au/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad/select_ipad2#in-the-box)
I still cannot understand how anyone can queue for hours, days even, to spend money on a gadget.
Seriously they are totally and utterly mad!!
Re: Queuing
Because then they'll have theirs a few days before everyone else, which will make them unbelievably cool; with members of the opposite sex throwing themselves at them in adoration? They can then rush onto the internet and post pictures of it, and everyone on the internet will idolise them.
In their heads.
Supposed 4G incompatibility in Australia? Or Telstra strikes again?
Just heard on the radio that the 4G version is not coming to Australia. TBC
Surely the loyal can remain dry....
.... just by wearing their iMacs?
Icon for both reasons.
Won't make any difference in Newcastle
Both the Fanboi stores in the North East are inside shopping malls.
What I want to know is what happened to Geordieland, around five years ago there wasn't even a Starbucks and now they're every other shop and there are two Apple stores.
I blame the X-Factor. (May as well.)
never mind queing I can't wait for those YouTube unboxing ceremonies. Wowza, an iPad taken out of its packaging!! Hotter than a new 007 movie

Other map pages:
[ Boston | Locations | Map themes & related | Cartographers ]
An excellent map of Massachusetts from Carey's American Pocket Atlas of 1801. This is the second state of one of the very early American maps of Massachusetts; the first state was issued by Mathew Carey in 1796. Unlike many other cartographers of the day, Carey updated his maps in subsequent versions, and this 1801 example from the Pocket Atlas is a good example of this. In 1796 either Carey did not have information on the roads, or he thought it not important. However, by 1801, this had changed and Carey added clear delineations of the roads in the state. $250
Samuel Lewis. "Massachusetts." From A New and Elegant General Atlas by Aaron Arrowsmith and Samuel Lewis: Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Petersburg and Norfolk, 1804. 7 7/8 x 9 3/4. Engraving by Tanner. Minor spotting in margins and upper left corner. Otherwise, very good condition.
The maps from this early American atlas were the works of Aaron Arrowsmith, one of the foremost cartographers of his era, and Samuel Lewis, one of the leaders in the nascent American cartographic field. This map of Massachusetts is a fine example of Lewis' output. Also of note, the map was engraved by Henry S. Tanner, who started as an engraver, but soon came to dominate the second generation of American cartographers. $150
Fielding Lucas. "Massachusetts." Philadelphia: H.C. Carey & I. Lea, 1822. 11 3/4 x 18 3/4 (map); 16 1/2 x 20 1/2 (full sheet). Engraving by J. Yeager. Full original hand color. Repaired separation along bottom half of centerfold. Else, very good condition.
In 1822, Henry Charles Carey and Isaac Lea published their A Complete Historical, Chronological, and Geographical American Atlas. This volume was based on Emmanuel Las Cases' Atlas Historique of 1803, with updated maps and text modified by Carey, a political economist. He considered himself an American foil to John Stuart Mill and the London economists who were proclaimers of "the gloomy science" influenced by Ricardo and Malthus. Instead of preaching overpopulation and degeneration of the human species, Carey illustrated the nations of the western hemisphere through maps that showed an expanding region with ample promise of developing into lands of great new opportunity and growth. The sheets from this atlas, which cover North America, Central America, South America and the West Indies, are comprised of an engraved map surrounded by text documenting the history, climate, population and so forth of the area depicted. The atlas is particularly known for its excellent early maps of the states and territories of the United States. This map of Massachusetts is filled with information on towns, lakes, rivers, and some orography, all very attractively presented. The road system is clearly shown and quite impressive. $450
"Massachusetts." From John Warner Barber's Historical Collections of Massachusetts. Worcester: Dorr, Howland & Co., 1839. Folding map on bank-note paper. 7 1/4 x 11 3/4. Original hand color. Very good condition.
A scarce and detailed map of Massachusetts (also showing some detail of Connecticut and Rhode Island), issued in John Barber's important booklet on Massachusetts. The map was produced in Worcester and the cartographer had access to very good information on the state. Towns, cities, counties, rivers, lakes, and major roads are indicated throughout. Attractive and with good detail, a nice map of the state. $150
Thomas G. Bradford. "Massachusetts." From A Universal Illustrated Atlas. Boston: Chares D. Strong., [1838]-1842. 11 1/4 x 11 1/4. Engraving by G.W. Boynton. Original hand color. Very good condition.
A precisely engraved map by Thomas G. Bradford, a Boston map publisher. This map was first issued in the 1838 edition of Bradford's atlas, and this edition came out four years later. This map is up-to-date in showing the political and topographical situation with very good accuracy. Detail includes rivers, lakes, towns, and counties. Of particular interest are the depictions of the rail lines running south from Boston to New Bedford and Providence, as well as the "Western R.R." running across the state from east to west. The whole is attractively presented with original hand coloring. A rare and early map of Massachusetts. $275
SDUK. "Boston with Charlestown and Roxbury." London: Chapman & Hall, 1842. 14 1/2 x 11 1/2. Steel engraving. Original outline color. Very good condition.
A detailed and precisely drawn map of Boston by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (SDUK). This wonderful English enterprise was devoted to the spreading of up-to-date information and the enhancing of understanding. The Society is noted for their excellent maps, in particular their series of city maps of all parts of the world. These maps show most streets and major buildings. This map of Boston is typical of the Society's output, with clear presentation of much detail of the city. The parks, roads, docks, and roads are shown with good detail, and double lines indicate railroads coming into the city from many points. Outlying towns of Charlestown and Lechmere are separate communities as are East Boston and South Boston. A fine plan of the city from the middle of the nineteenth century. $375
H.S. Tanner. "Massachusetts and Rhode Island." From Tanner's Universal Atlas. Philadelphia: Carey & Hart, [1841]-43. 10 3/4 x 14. Engraving by J. & W.W. Warr. Full original hand color. Very good condition.
A strong and beautifully crafted map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island from the nineteenth century by the great American cartographer, Henry Schenck Tanner. In 1816, Henry, his brother Benjamin, John Vallance and Francis Kearny formed an engraving firm in Philadelphia. Having had experience at map engraving through his work with John Melish, Tanner conceived of the idea of compiling and publishing an American Atlas, which was begun in 1819 by Tanner, Vallance, Kearny & Co.. Soon Tanner took over the project on his own, and thus began his career as cartographic publisher. The American Atlas was a huge success, and this inspired Tanner to produce his Universal Atlas, of more manageable size. This atlas contained excellent maps of each state, focusing on the transportation network, including roads, railroads and canals. All details are clearly presented, and these include towns, rivers, mountains, political boundaries and the transportation information. In 1844, Carey & Hart issued an edition of the atlas, and the maps were later purchased by S. Augustus Mitchell, and then Thomas, Cowperthwait & Co.. Maps from the early Tanner/Carey & Hart edition are quite rare and desirable. This map of the two states is typical of the Tanner maps. It shows excellent information, especially of the transportation network. An inset in the lower left gives a detailed plan of Boston. $325
"Massachusetts and Rhode Island." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, 1849. 11 1/2 x 15 1/4. Lithographic transfer from engraved plate. Original hand-coloring. Very good condition. With an inset of Boston.
For much of the middle part of the nineteenth century, the Mitchell firm dominated American cartography in output and influence. S. Augustus Mitchell Jr.'s maps of the 1860s are probably the best known issues of this firm, but his father's earlier efforts are excellent maps derived from H.S. Tanner's atlas of the 1830s. This map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island is a good example of this work. Topographical information, including towns, rivers, roads, canals and railroads, is profuse and clearly shown, and the counties are shaded with contrasting pastel colors. A statistical table about the states is included, as is an inset map of Boston. It is obvious from the quality and attractive appearance of this map why Mitchell's firm became so important. $275
"Massachusetts and Rhode Island" New York: J.H. Colton, 1856. 12 3/4 x 15 3/4. Lithograph from engraved plate. Original hand-coloring. Very good condition. With inset of "Boston."
In the mid-nineteenth century, the center of map publishing in America moved from Philadelphia to New York. The Colton publishing firm played a large role in this shift. This map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with its fine detail, is a strong example of their successful work. Not only is it informative, with it's depictions of towns, roads and railroads but it is also decorative. The counties are depicted in subtle pastel shades and the entire map is surrounded by a decorative Victorian border. $165
G.W. & C.B. Colton. "Colton's Boston and Adjacent Cities." New York: G.W. & C.B. Colton, 1856. 14 x 11 1/4. Lithograph. Full original hand-coloring. Full margins. Smudge in bottom margin, else, very good condition.
This map of Boston, with its fine detail, is another strong example of Colton's work. The map presents the area of downtown Boston today with an inset showing the great area in contrasting pastel shades. The major mode of transportation was the new and vibrant railroad system that was growing at the time. An attractive map as well as a worthwhile historical document. $375
"Map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island." Philadelphia: Charles Desilver, 1857. 11 1/2 x 15 1/4. Lithograph. Full, original hand color. Very good condition. With inset of "Boston."
Charles Desilver, one of the many publishers working in Philadelphia during the mid-nineteenth century, issued an atlas of maps based on the famous Tanner-Mitchell-Cowperthwait series. Desilver used much the same information as originally drawn in the 1840s, but updated the maps with new counties, roads, towns, and especially the transportation network of roads and railroads, always the focus of the maps from this series. This map is typical of the rather unusual and scarce Desilver atlas. In the lower left is a detailed inset map of Boston, with major buildings indicated and named. An attractive and fascinating document from just before the Civil War. $165
"County Map of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., 1872. 11 1/2 x 13 3/4. Lithograph. Original hand color. Decorative border. Very good condition.
S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr., of Philadelphia, was one of the largest map publishers of the middle of the nineteenth century. The firm was founded by his father, who from around the middle of the nineteenth century issued atlases and maps of all parts of the world in all formats. The Mitchell atlases contained up-to-date maps which were as attractive as they were accurate. With its bold hand-color, decorative borders, and interesting information from this interesting period of American history, this is a fine example of the Mitchell firm's output. $125
"Map of the Railroads of the State of Massachusetts Accompanying the Report of the Railroad Commissioners 1874." Boston: Rand, Avery, & Co. , 1874. 27 7/8 x 37 3/8. Lithograph. Uncolored. With folds as issued; minor wear along folds. Otherwise, very good condition.
A clear and striking map of Massachusetts and surrounding states, including all of Rhode Island and Connecticut as well as portions of New York (encompassing both New York City and Long Island ), New Jersey, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Detail is crisp and clear as railroad lines spread in a web across the Northeast Corridor. Each stop along the lines is clearly marked, making this an informative document of the interconnectedness of towns in southern New England. $200
"Gray's Atlas Map of Massachusetts and Rhode Island." Philadelphia: O.W. Gray & Son, ca. 1880. 12 x 15. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
A nicely detailed map of the state by the Philadelphia firm of O.W. Gray and Son. The firm began its publishing around mid-century and published regional and U.S. atlases up to the 1880s. This map was issued shortly after the American centennial and it is typical of their work. Though similar to the above mentioned maps in terms of information, the style is simpler than it's more decorated Victorian contemporaries. $125
"Map of the Railroads of the State of Massachusetts Accompanying the Report of the Railroad Commissioners. 1883." Boston: Wright & Potter Printing Company, 1883. 24 5/8 x 33 5/8. Wax engraving in three colors. With folds as issued. Wear along folds; else, good condition.
A fine map with great detail on the daily life facilitated by the railroad. Post offices are marked (classified by whether or not they also sold money orders), as are county towns and villages of all sizes. Using data from the 1875 census, mapmakers also noted the populations of many cities and towns throughout the state. Railroad stations are, of course, marked, and railroad lines are labeled according to the operating company. Beyond the borders of Massachusetts, railroad lines and ferry routes stretch through the states of Connecticut and Rhode Island, as well as portions of New Hampshire, Vermont, New York, and New Jersey. With inclusion of New York City and Long Island, this map provides an inter-state snapshot of rail transportation throughout the busy northeast corridor. $175
Double page maps. 23 x 15.

loneriderrr1OK so asking you to act like an adult was a little bit of a stretch. Sorry I asked to much of you on that one. Readers can see the difference on who acts like a 3rd grader and who doesn't. And no oozes doesn't count as proof. Anyway you have a fine Sunday in never never land and enjoy what's left of the day. 0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MonkeyboyLoner is playing his favorite 3rd grader's game, "If I'm one, you're one too". I call him childish and tell him to stay on topic and now it's his answer to everything. Write your own stuff, Loner. Big Boy stuff. 0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Pull up your big boy panties and try to act like an adult please. I know for you how hard that is. Also at some point do you think in any forum you could comment on the topic at hand and not just those about your lifestyle? 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Every comment you have made in this forum has been a slam against me. Except for the one where you slammed the newspaper. And you try to call out others for doing what you do more then anyone. You sir are a troll. 1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MonkeyboyI see nothing you have written here that relates to the subject except the letter you plagiarized. Every other comment since then has been about other posters. You win the prize! 0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Ok you win monkey. You are by far and away the most childish poster in any of these forums. You seldom comment about the topic and always about the poster. It will be impossible to top you on being the most useless poster in the forums. You have won top dog prize in it. Now you can go away happy. As long as you go away. Have a great day doing whatever it is people like you do. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MonkeyboyChildren go through their "potty mouth" stage at about 4 years. Some appear to get stuck at that stage of development. 0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Yes I do have an obsession with the scatology that comes from anything left wing. They try to feed everyone BS and it seems about 50% are duped by them. I may have been a little off on the hemorrhoid comment. But the definition did seem to fit the left like a glove. So if the scatology glove fits you (and it does most left wingers) then wear it. It's fun to play with the lemurs isn't it. 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MonkeyboyThe second most childish comment here, "But maybe he did mean the democrats as they are quite rectal" can also be attributed to Lonerider,. Does anyone see pattern here of scatological obsession? 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Monkeyboy"About as good as the hemorroid you use as a brain", I think qualifies as the MOST childish statement I have seen here in a while. In addition, when you use a big word like "hemorrhoid" you really should look up the spelling or pay attention to spell-check. 0 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1The comments of Jul-28-13 2:59 PM and Jul-28-13 2:34 PM are "Easily one of the more childlike responses I've seen on this page" or any page at all. 2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Now as far as my quote of Jul-24-13 4:52 PM, if you are referring to that one just ask and I will gladly tell you it came from canadafreepress.c om.

Nor would I quote Obama, Pelosi or reid as the truth. If you don't trust my comments then do what you have told myself and others to do. Look it up, research it, find out where it came from. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MonkeyboyLoner, I understand what quotation marks mean. My point is that you should state WHO you are quoting. It is particularly important with you since you usually use right-wing websites as your "authority". Then the reader can decide if your source is credible. 1 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1Must be the monkey doesn't realize that the "" marks around a quote means it is copied word for word. That is why it is classed as a quote lemur-boy. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » 50s4everThe congressional black caucus wants no Republicans or white members voted into office by black districts. It might interfere with their complaints of blatant racism and partisan politics. If it weren't so stupid, it would be funny. Like Trayvon Martin's Dad telling them he wants to make better race relations. It's equivalent to a troop of Klansmen removing their hoods and revealing black faces. 3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » EmelyeThe Republican policy of obstruction to anything proposed by any Democrat is blatantly obvious. Mr Obama wants to get things done so he maneuvers his way past the obstructions to do his job for the American people. Then the right, frustrated by their failure to obstruct, call him an "imperial president." I try to keep my cynicism from degrading into pure bitterness but editorials like this one make it a lot harder. 1 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » loneriderrr1My source that can't spell is " DavidVA Jul-24-13 11:31 AM We only two parties: a rectionary one" Any other useless questions? 3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MonkeyboyLoner, how about telling us whose words you are using and who is your source who can't spell. You should at least proof what you cut and paste. You are really getting paranoid, Loner.

(from Spring 1996 Ohio Geology)
Three small earthquakes were recorded in Ohio during 1995. The first one struck at 7:57 a.m. local time on Sunday, February 19, in southeastern Highland County. Ronald Street, seismologist at the University of Kentucky, recorded this event on two of his seismograph stations in northern Kentucky and was able to provide the epicentral location and a magnitude of 3.6. The earthquake also was recorded on the MOMA seismic array.
The U.S. Geological Survey reported Modified Mercalli intensities of V at Cynthiana in western Pike County, IV at Seaman and III at Winchester in northern Adams County, and III at Mowrystown in southwestern Highland County.
Robert G. Van Horn, Deputy Chief of the Ohio Geological Survey, felt the earthquake at his weekend farm in southwestern Ross County, near Bainbridge. Fred N. Bowman, of the same area, also felt the earthquake.
Historically, Highland County and adjacent Pike and Ross Counties have had very low seismic activity--each county had recorded only one event, all of them in the last century. However, in 1994, a 2.5-magnitude event was recorded in western Pike County.
Another earthquake occurred at about 4:32 a.m. local time on Thursday, February 23, in Ashtabula, in northeastern Ohio. According to Ed Somppie, Ashtabula County Emergency Management director, this 2.9-magnitude event woke many residents, as numerous felt reports were received at his office. Many people thought that it was a sonic boom. The lack of seismographs in the area made it difficult for the Division of Geological Survey to confirm that the event was an earthquake and to obtain a magnitude. Seismologists at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University in Palisades, New York, analyzed data from seismic stations near Buffalo, New York, and from Ottawa, Canada, and provided a magnitude and general location. Felt reports were confined to the City of Ashtabula, suggesting that this event occurred beneath this community. The seismic stations at Ottawa and Buffalo are at sufficient distance that a precise epicentral location was difficult to determine.
There was some concern that the earthquake may have been related to a Class I injection well in Ashtabula, although the well was shut down in December 1994. Lamont-Doherty seismologists have suggested that series of small earthquakes--one in 1987, two in 1989, and three in 1992--were triggered by this injection well. The cause of the 1995 earthquake is unknown.
On Sunday, May 14, at 4:21 p.m. local time, Dr. Street recorded a 2.5-magnitude earthquake on his Kentucky network. The epicenter was in northern Lawrence County, in southern Ohio. Although this earthquake was large enough to have been felt in the epicentral area, no felt reports were received from this sparsely populated county. No earthquakes have previously been documented from this area.
The second half of 1995 yielded no documented earthquakes in Ohio, although periodic calls were received by the Survey from citizens indicating that they felt vibrations that they suspected to be earthquakes. None of these events could be confirmed as small earthquakes because, in part, operating seismographs are located at considerable distance from the areas of reports.

I have a been a fan of frankie and maze since the late 70's and their concert have never disappoint me. Their music sounds like the recordings. I am looking foreward to the new cd they are releasing and the tribute cd frankies son and daughter in law are producing featuring different artist paying tribute with their rendition of frankey and maze music

i went to his concert in philly,his hometown. it was a rainy night but everyone showed up. i took my daughter for her b-day she turned 31. she enjoyed herself so much she wanted to go back. i told her thats old school music. frankie & maze are the best.
I was one of the first people to get my tickets. As soon as they went on sale, I was there. I absolutely love him, everything about him. He was here in Missouri where he performed in St.Charles, and it was all that I had expect and more. Some day in this life I will get to meet him personally. At least to shake his head, or kiss his cheek, to let him know just how much I appreciate him, and the music that he gives. He's awesome. Your 50 year old fan.

A Federal Court is Proposed for Plattsburgh
May 13, 2004 — Plattsburgh may soon be home to a new Federal Court. Increased border patrol, as part of the nation's Homeland Security efforts, has lead to a greater caseload in the Northern District. And, as Jody Tosti reports, making space for a federal court in Clinton County will help minimize an already burdened federal courthouse in Albany.

Preseason: Pacers vs. Wolves
The preseason comes to Minnesota tonight as the Wolves take on the Pacers at the Target Center at 7:00pm CST.
Timberwolves coach Randy Wittman appeared a little
frustrated Monday. Just when he thought he was closer to getting his
point guards back, setbacks struck.
Randy Foye and Sebastian Telfair both took a step
back during practice when they aggravated injuries. Foye bumped his
right knee, which has been bothered by tendinitis, and Telfair tweaked
his sprained left ankle. Wittman said both players are doubtful for
tonight's exhibition game against the Indiana Pacers, the Wolves' first
game this preseason at Target Center.
Telfair, Al Jefferson and the three other Celtics acquired in the
Garnett trade have played on the Target Center floor before, but never
coming out of the home team's dressing room.
"First time," Jefferson said. "I've been waiting on this all preseason.
When I used to play here, it was always a tough crowd. Now I'm looking
forward to the fans to show me love like they used to show love for
their team when I played here with the Celtics."
Mike Wells/Indy Star on the Pacers lineup tonight
He said forward Shawne Williams will sit out the final two preseason
games since Williams is suspended for the first three regular-season
games after his arrest last month.
Forward Jermaine O'Neal will miss his third straight game tonight with
a swollen left knee. Center David Harrison (ankle) will be a game-time
decision. Center Troy Murphy is still out with a strained Achilles.

Workshops | Workshop Schedule | Training Materials | Other Resources
On-site WorkshopsThroughout the year, Livermore Computing (LC) offers on-site workshops focusing on parallel programming, parallel tools, and the use of its High Performance Computing (HPC) systems. Introductory level workshops are intended for new users, with the goals of improving LC user productivity and minimizing the obstacles typically encountered by new users of such complex systems. Introductory level workshops typically include both lectures and hands-on exercises using the actual machines. Other workshops are targeted towards more experienced users and can cover a range of topics related to new technologies, performance/programming tools, ASC cross-platform training, and other topics as requested by LC users, researchers, and staff. These workshops may or may not include "hands-on" exercise time. Most hands-on workshops are held in the Laboratory Training Center. Lecture only training can be scheduled in other venues as needed.
Tri-Lab Cross-Platform WorkshopsLC collaborates with Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory to develop and deliver cross-platform ASC parallel computing workshops. These workshops can be delivered at any of the Tri-lab sites and can include information specific to more than one ASC architecture. Like the on-site workshops, these workshops typically include both lectures and hands-on exercises using the actual ASC machines.
ASC Alliance Remote WorkshopsASC Alliances are invited to work with LC to deliver workshops at their respective sites. These workshops may be comprised of lectures and hands-on exercises covering any LC ASC platform, or they may also include cross-platform training similar to the Tri-lab workshops.
Suggestions?LC is interested in what kind of training the
user community would like. Please send your suggestions for workshop and/or online
tutorial topics to email@example.com.
