Home > Learn and Discover > The Underwater Archaeology Search for Franklin's HMS Erebus and HMS Terror > 2011 Expedition
Sir John Franklin's two lost ships, HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, are designated together as a national historic site of Canada – the only such 'undiscovered' national historic site – due to the importance of Franklin's voyage and his ships to the history of Arctic navigation and exploration. The discovery of either or both wrecks, or their contents, will offer unprecedented information on the search for the Northwest Passage, the exploration of Canada's North and the fate of Sir John Franklin. HMS Erebus, HMS Terror and their crew are also a testament to the history shared between Canada and Great Britain.
HMS Erebus and HMS Terror also have historical and cultural significance for local Inuit who speak of the ships in their oral history. The expedition team and Inuit have worked closely together in conducting research and planning for this search as it is believed that Inuit oral history and research could hold the key to the ultimate discovery of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror.
In 2008, Parks Canada and its Underwater Archaeology Service (UAS) initiated a three-year project in collaboration with the Canadian Hydrographic Service with the support of the Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) and Government of Nunavut. An initial expedition in 2008 achieved the survey of a 65 km-long approach corridor leading from the main navigation channel through largely uncharted waters to an archaeological target area near O'Reilly Island, located west of the Adelaide peninsula and where Inuit oral tradition situates one of the wrecks. In the second field season in 2010, this corridor provided safe navigation access for the support vessel and enabled the successful survey of approximately 150 sq km from two smaller survey launches.
This August, the UAS led a third archaeological expedition in Nunavut to search for HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. The expedition again proved to be a collaborative effort, with the inclusion of new organizations: the University of Victoria's Ocean Technology Laboratory (UVic) and the Canadian Ice Service (CIS). This collaboration brought a breadth of expertise and new information, adding to the growing body of research on the ships' fate. The survey was once again staged from the CCG Ship Sir Wilfrid Laurier with archaeologists working alongside Canadian Hydrographic Service's hydrographers over the course of a 6-day dedicated effort.
The 2011 search for the Franklin vessels shifted northward from the O'Reilly Island area to Victoria Strait where one of the vessels is thought to have foundered. This new area was a priority for the Canadian Hydrographic Service and CCG in their mandate to promote the safety of shipping though the principal navigation corridors of the Canadian Arctic, and Parks Canada was able to take advantage of this opportunity to embark on the search for the second vessel. Collectively, the Canadian Hydrographic Service and Parks Canada were able to systematically survey 140 square km of previously uncharted waters in Canada's Arctic, while bringing Canada closer to solving the mystery of the final resting ground of Franklin's vessels.
In addition to technologies already deployed which included side-scan sonar and multi-beam bathymetry, the search enlisted LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), as contracted by the Canadian Hydrographic Service. This bathymetry sonar is operated from an aircraft as opposed to being deployed from a boat, and although its primary use is for charting the seabed, this technology can detect a shipwreck. This technology provides water depths and is useable in shallow waters (usually less than 40 m) where it is difficult to operate boats, especially in uncharted waters. It also has the capability of covering large areas in a relatively short period of time, which will increase the survey area coverage quite significantly once the data has been compiled. Results from the LiDAR will need to be analyzed by the archaeology team over the next several months.
As in 2008, an archaeologist from the Government of Nunavut joined the survey team to investigate potential shore remains in the area that may be related to the Franklin expedition. Covering approximately 25 km of shoreline on the northeast area of the Royal Geographical Society Islands, the archaeologists also made a brief visit to Cape Felix, the northernmost point of King William Island, where Franklin had set up an observatory. This site was first documented by Lt. Hobson of the 1859 McClintock Expedition and only briefly visited since then. Parks Canada is proud to also have been working with the support of the Gjoa Haven Community and the Inuit Heritage Trust.
The search for HMS Erebus and HMS Terror is made more challenging by the vastness of the Canadian Arctic and the harsh conditions that are frequently encountered in northern waters. It is also complicated by differing accounts of the fate of Franklin's ships as preserved in Inuit traditional knowledge, and the many interpretations given to these accounts on the possible resting place of the wrecks. A number of attempts to locate HMS Erebus and HMS Terror have been unsuccessful to date but an increasing area of the seafloor has been systematically ruled out, thus narrowing the search.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed in August 1997 between Great Britain, as owner of the vessels, and Canada, as the nation in whose water they were lost. If and when they are found, the MOU assigns control over site investigation, excavation or recovery of either wrecks or their contents to Canada. Mandated to protect and present subjects of national significance, Parks Canada is the responsible federal agency for the search and subsequent preservation of the vessels.
The Government of Canada is the proud steward of HMS Erebus and HMS Terror National Historic Site of Canada, and is working with the Government of Nunavut and Qikiqtani Inuit Association towards the creation of a national marine conservation area in Lancaster Sound at the eastern entrance to the Northwest Passage.
Itinerary and Logistics for the Search for HMS Erebus and HMS Terror:

Jeff Bezos on Leading for the Long-Term at Amazon
An interview with Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon.com. For more, see The 100 Best-Performing CEOs in the World.
ADI IGNATIUS: Welcome to the HBR IdeaCast from Harvard Business Review. I'm Adi Ignatius, the editor in chief, and recently I talked to Amazon's Jeff Bezos, who in are new survey, which appears in the January issue, comes out as the world's number one living CEO. Here are excerpts of our conversation.
Jeff, thanks for joining us. When Amazon went public back in 1997, you wrote a letter to shareholders that said it's all about the long term. Did you feel at the time that you were really challenging orthodoxy?
JEFF BEZOS: I felt that we were trying to make sure that we were correctly advertising the actual event. Warren Buffett has a really good phrase for this. He says, "You can hold a rock concert, and that's OK. You can hold a ballet, and that's OK. Just don't hold a rock on and advertise it as a ballet." And the job of the public company is to be clear about whether you're holding a ballet or a rock concert, and then investors can opt into that.
ADI IGNATIUS: So what does it really mean from the perspective of a CEO to think in the long term?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, if you're long term oriented, customer interests and shareholder interests are aligned. In the short term, that's not always correct.
Also, we like to invent and do new things, and I know for sure that long term orientation is essential for invention because you're going to have a lot of failures along the way.
ADI IGNATIUS: Jeff, you've said that you like to plant seeds that may take seven years to bear fruit. Doesn't that mean you'll lose some battles along the way to companies that have a more conventional two or three-year outlook?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, maybe so, but I think some of the things that we have undertaken I think could not be done in two to three years. And so, basically if we needed to see meaningful financial results in two to three years, some of the most meaningful things we've done we would never have even started. Things like Kindle, things like Amazon Web Services, Amazon Prime. The list of such things is long at Amazon.
ADI IGNATIUS: So how much do you care about your share price?
JEFF BEZOS: I care very much about our share owners, and so I care very much about our long term share price. I do not follow the stock on a daily basis, and I don't think there's any the information in it. Benjamin Graham said, "In the short term, the stock market is a voting machine. In the long term, it's a weighing machine." And we try to build a company that wants to be weighed and not voted upon.
ADI IGNATIUS: So does it make sense for Amazon to even stay in the hardware business, which is low margin and low profit for you?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, our approach to our hardware Kindle devices, Kindle Fire and our Kindle readers, is to sell the hardware at near break even, and then we have an ongoing relationship with the customer where they buy content from us-- digital books, music, movies, TV shows, games, apps. And the reason that we like that approach is because we don't make $100 every time we sell a Kindle Fire HD, since it's near break even. Instead of making a bunch of money, then, we're happy if people keep using our products. We don't have to have you on the upgrade treadmill.
ADI IGNATIUS: You've said that you would be interested, if you had the right concept and approach, in creating a physical Amazon retail experience. Why even consider that?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, We like to build innovative things. We'll look around the world, and we'll be inspired by what we see. But we like to put our own unique twist on it and do something that's not redundant. If there are 100 physical stores that are doing a great job, we don't want to be the 101st. If we can find something that we think customers would like that would be differentiated, it would be super fun to do that.
ADI IGNATIUS: So would developing a phone also fall into that innovative category?
JEFF BEZOS: Yeah, absolutely. That's the kind of thing where you would ask what is the idea? How would it be differentiated? Why wouldn't it be me too?
ADI IGNATIUS: So do you fear is your biggest challenger?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, we don't get up every morning thinking about what's the list of the top three companies that are going to try to kill us? I do know of companies, and their annual planning process starts with the list of their three top enemies, and they work from there. They get motivation from the competitive zeal. Our approach is not to start with that list. We do look at other companies, and so we pay attention, but it's not where we get our energy form.
ADI IGNATIUS: So disruption is obviously a rough business. Do you have any personal regrets about the pain that your success has caused to traditional retailers?
JEFF BEZOS: I'm just as sentimental as the next person I have lots of childhood memories of physical books and things like that. Our job at Amazon is to build the best customer experience we can in every way and then let customers choose where they shop.
ADI IGNATIUS: At what point will the goal change from lowering margins, building market share, to making a bigger profit?
JEFF BEZOS: Percentage margins are not one of the things we are seeking to optimize. It's the absolute dollar-free cash flow per share that you want to maximize, and if you can do that by lowering margins, we would do that. So if you could take the free cash flow, that's something that investors can spend. Investors can't spend percentage margins.
ADI IGNATIUS: Amazon has done a great job of self-cannibalizing its revenue streams, going from Amazon Store to Amazon Marketplace, from print to ebooks, and so on. In most companies, moves like those would be hard to execute without organizational turmoil. How have you managed the transitions?
JEFF BEZOS: When things get complicated, we simplify by saying what's best for the customer? And then we take it as an article of faith if we do that, it'll work out the long term. So we can never prove that. In fact, sometimes we've done a price elasticity studies, and the answer is always we should raise prices. And we don't do that because we believe-- and again, we have to take this as an article of faith-- we believe by keeping our prices very, very low, we earn trust with customers over time, and that that actually does maximize free cash flow over the long term.
ADI IGNATIUS: What have you learned about leadership from running what has become a very big company?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, I would say one thing that I have learned within the first couple of years of starting the company is that in inventing and pioneering requires a willingness to be misunderstood for long periods of time. One of the early examples of this was the customer reviews. One wrote to me and said, "You don't understand your business. You make money when you sell things. Why do you allow these negative customer reviews?" And when I read that letter, I thought, we don't make money when we sell things. We make money when we help customers make purchase decisions.
ADI IGNATIUS: How do you institutionalize the ability to come up with these good, misunderstood ideas?
JEFF BEZOS: Well, I think it's a couple of things. One is we have a lot of internal stories that we tell ourselves about persistence and patience, long term thinking, staying heads down, focused on the customer even while being criticized.
The second is selection of the people. When they wake up and are thinking in the shower in the morning, they're thinking about customers, and thinking about how to invent on behalf of customers, and they find that fun. And if you get here, and you find that you get your motivation from having a more competitive-focused culture, you might find our culture dull. We don't. We find a culture intensely fun.
Some companies, if you wanted to put it into a single word, they have a conqueror mentality, and we have an explorer mentality. And the people who like our mentality of exploration and pioneering, they tend to stay here, and have fun here, and that's self-reinforcing.
ADI IGNATIUS: You generated a lot of attention recently. Is all this publicity good for you and for Amazon
JEFF BEZOS: I have to be very choosy, and I've done less and less of it over time. And the reason that I'm doing this interview with you is I want customers to understand what makes us tick, how we operate, what our principles are. I think customers want to know who they're doing business with.
ADI IGNATIUS: Well, if you don't talk, how in the world can we misunderstand you?
JEFF BEZOS: Believe me, that wouldn't stop it.
ADI IGNATIUS: That was Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. For more, visit hbr.org.

School officials say preparing for a good career starts with succeeding in college and even before that in high school too.
Happening today, you can learn more about how to do just that.
Some say preparations can start even sooner, in the pre-teen years at the middle school. It is all about the magnet programs.
There are two magnet programs at Cholla High School. One of which is a law related studies course, that is on track for students who want to go into law enforcement or become a lawyer. The other is an international baccalaureate program, or IB program.
They all take college level courses and if they do well enough, they get an IB diploma, which is recognized all over the world.
Many of those students do well in college and many are first generation students too. There are about 300 students in the IB program at Cholla, about 18 percent of the student population, and the number keeps growing every year.
There will be a presentation tonight at Pister Middle School on South Cardinal on these programs, and there will be another on December 13, at Mansfield Middle School; with both presentations running from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.

My 1942 Farmall A has an after-market hydraulic unit. It is barrel-shaped and the "barrel" contains the pump and fluid reservoir. It lies horizontal and is attached by a bracket so that the PTO shaft runs the pump. The pump then activates a remote hydraulic ram. The previous owner has painted over any indentifying decals and the only numbers on the unit are EE1090528.
See picture attached.Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com to see more pics.
I am told that these units were adapted to various tractors. From the information provided can anyone identify this unit and possibly have a manual.
Thank You!

Shaun Wright-Phillips and Bradley Wright-Phillips play football with West Wickham youngsters
3:33pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in Bromley By Heloise Wood, reporter
FOOTBALL star siblings Shaun Wright-Phillips and Bradley Wright-Phillips gave school children in West Wickham some sporting tips.
Charlton striker Bradley and England and Queens Park Rangers winger Shaun specially congratulated the girls' football team at Pickhurst Junior Academy in Pickhurst Lane, West Wickham, after they were named Kent Schools Football Champions.
They spent the afternoon answering questions, autographing PE kits and pencil cases, as well as showing off their penalty-scoring skills.
The visit, which was organised by a father of one of the pupils, finished with a penalty shoot-out between the girls' team captained by Bradley and the boys' team led by Shaun, culminating in a draw.
PE teacher Tom Cowan said: "It was brilliant, the kids loved it. They were so excited they were finding anything for the Shaun and Bradley to sign, even pieces of fruit from their lunches."

Volusia County Sheriff's deputies are searching for a convicted sex offender who broke free during an arrest attempt on Wednesday afternoon. The incident started shortly before 1 p.m. when deputies took the suspect into custody at a location in New Smyrna Beach.
Luis Alberto Hernandez Dejesus, 31, is a convicted sex offender out of north Florida who has been living in the New Smyrna Beach area. Convicted sex offenders are required by Florida law to register their address with law enforcement.
A deputy located Dejesus in New Smyrna Beach and took him into custody for moving without notifying authorities of his new address, as required by law. A deputy placed Dejesus in handcuffs and was getting ready to put him in the back of a patrol car when he attacked the deputy, broke free and took off running.
Dejesus bolted through a marshy mangrove before jumping into a tributary of the Indian River. The escape sparked a massive search from the ground and air, with patrol deputies and investigators, a Sheriff's K-9 unit and a helicopter involved in the hunt. New Smyrna Beach police and County beach units also were assisting in the search.
The search started near an auto lot in the 1300 block of North Dixie Freeway and has continued to focus in that immediate vicinity. As of 6 p.m., the suspect was still at large.
The deputy who was attacked sustained minor cuts, lacerations and bruises in the scuffle. Dejesus is 5'9" and weighs approximately 150 pounds and has black hair and brown eyes.
Anyone who sees Dejesus is asked to dial 911 to report the location.

Search teams working with the King County Sheriff's office on Saturday recovered more pieces of bone from human remains found Friday at Saint Edward State Park near Kirkland, and authorities on Monday were waiting for results from the King County Medical Examiner's office.
"We're expecting to hear back from the medical examiner's office in a few hours, possibly with an ID," Sgt. Cindi West, King County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman, said Monday afternoon. "We hope to find out exactly who the person was and what happened to him."
A skull and bones were discovered by Bastyr University students Friday just off a trail in the 316-acre park, not far from the school's campus. The medical examiner's office determined that day that the bones were of an adult male, and that the remains had been there for some time.
West said they are not the prehistoric remains of a Native American, and that detectives were checking records of missing persons that might match the remains. "Once we have the remains identified, that will give us a starting point to find out what happened," she said.
West said there were no obvious indications of foul play in the remains found so far. The medical examiner's office possibly will be able to identify the remains through recovered teeth or DNA.
Forested Saint Edward State Park is on Finn Hill and mostly in Kenmore, but with a small southern strip inside the city limits of Kirkland. Bastyr University is adjacent the park's southwest section.
Kirkland Patch will update this story as soon as more details are available. For a previous Kirkland Patch story on the case, click here.

WASHINGTON -- Extending an apparent olive branch to Venezuela, Secretary of State John Kerry suggested Monday that Sunday's much-awaited local elections there failed to rattle the country's populist authoritarian government, and said the United States is "ready and willing" to improve bilateral ties.
In a rare interview on Latin American affairs with the Miami Herald and "Oppenheimer Presenta" on CNN en Espanol, Kerry also criticized Brazil's efforts to set up its own Internet system in response to the National Security Agency's reported spying on the Brazilian president and other world leaders. He said the system would endanger the free flow of information on the Internet.
Kerry also addressed Cuba's jailing of U.S. contractor Alan Gross, saying that the U.S. government hopes to use "private'' diplomatic channels to secure his release.
Asked about Venezuela's local elections, where President Nicolas Maduro managed to win most municipalities – except in the country's biggest cities – thanks to its near total control of the media and last-minute mandatory price cuts for most household goods, Kerry said that "there are some questions of irregularities," but added that "fundamentally, they (the elections) met the standards."
"They didn't produce the kind of change that I think a number of people thought they might," Kerry said, referring to the fact that the opposition failed to win a landslide victory across the country.
Kerry said that the U.S. is concerned about Maduro's recently acquired powers to rule by decree, which he said could lead to "potential' abuses, but he indicated that he is ready to resume the bilateral talks he held in June with Venezuelan Foreign Minister Elias Jaua.
The Kerry-Jaua talks, in which both sides pledged to work toward improving bilateral ties, where interrupted in October when Maduro ordered the expulsion of the top U.S. diplomat in Venezuela and two other U.S. diplomats, accusing them of conspiring with the opposition against the government. The U.S. responded by expelling top Venezuelan diplomats from the country.
"We are ready and willing, and we are open to improving that relationship," Kerry said.
"Our hope is that the government will stop using our relationship as an excuse for not doing other things internally, and really opening up more to the people," he said. "We've been disappointed that the Maduro government has not been as ready to move with us and to engage, and that it seems to take more pleasure in perpetuating the sort of differences that we don't think really exist."
He said the U.S. has chosen a different tact in its dealings with Venezuela.
"The United States has not been involved in one (single) effort to deal negatively with the Maduro government," Kerry said.
Asked about Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff's plan to set up the Internet system and call for a global regulation of the web to prevent new cases such as the recent NSA surveillance scandal, Kerry said such moves pose "very real risks" to the integrity of the Internet system.
It could lead to "censorship, lack of access, lack of breath of availability of sites, of flow of information, to all kinds of problems," Kerry said. "The world needs to look very carefully and cautiously at what they have today, and what has been protected by our approach, versus what they might have if this were to be disaggregated and broken down into local control."
But Kerry acknowledged that "the NSA problems are real," adding that "neither the (U.S) president nor I believe that some of this gathering of information that has taken place" against foreign leaders "is appropriate." President Barack Obama will announce shortly the results of an inquiry into the NSA activities, "which I think will be very constructive," he said.
On the U.S. effort to get the Cuban regime to release Gross, a U.S. contractor who was trying to deliver Internet equipment to Cuba's Jewish community, Kerry said that "if and when we are able to advance it, it will be through personal and private diplomacy. Nobody's going to bludgeon this into what we need, so we need to continue to stay focused."
Gross has been detained in Cuba since Dec. 3, 2009. Judy Gross took part in a demonstration outside the White House last week calling for the Obama administration to do more to seek her husband's release. In response to the protest, Kerry told reporters that he has been engaged in behind-the-scenes talks to win's Gross's freedom.
In the broad-ranging interview at the State Department, Kerry also discussed the former South African President Nelson Mandela's legacy. He said Latin America could learn a lot from the freedom fighter and statesman, who died Thursday at the age of 95. Obama will join leaders from more than 90 nations in a tribute to Mandela at a massive memorial service Tuesday in Soweto.
"This is a man who could come out of prison after 27years and hug his jailer, and become very close to him as a friend. I think this is a lesson," Kerry said.
"If you look at a place like Colombia, where President (Juan Manuel) Santos is trying so hard to negotiate with the FARC (guerrillas) both -- I mean everybody -- should look beyond this struggle that has been going on for so long and find the common future. That would have been Nelson Mandela's message to them…the lesson is: focus on the future."
Kerry said he doubts that Mandela's close ties to Cuban dictator Fidel Castro will tarnish the South African leader's memory.
"No, not in the least. This was a man who was global. He had a universal aspect to him," Kerry said, adding that Mandela would have the same message for Colombia's fighters as for Castro.
"He (Mandela) would say, Let your people be free. Let your people do what they did in South Africa, where we defined a nation and gave everybody the opportunity to have a part of that future."
Andres Oppenheimer's full interview with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry will air Sunday at 7 p.m. on CNN Latino, and at 9 p.m. on CNN en Espanol.


text: Aspen Food & Wine Classic Food Trends Food Trends From Aspen by Susannah Chen 6/22/12 0 Reactions 7 Shares Print 0 0 7 0 0 With its star-chef presence and around-the-clock offerings of food and drink, the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen is quite possibly the best place to spot the latest culinary trends. Last year, we eyed plenty of fruity-spicy cocktails, sea urchin, and Spanish croquettes, all of which proved to be huge over the past year. When we looked into this year's Classic crystal ball, what did we see? Find out when you keep reading. Meatless Mondays What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Meat-free eating has been talked about in the food community for a while, but I think this is the year in which everyone, from celebrity chef to commoner, is putting it into practice. Michael Symon's seminar topic this year was Meatless Monday, and in his demonstration, he offered up recipes for gnocchi with peas and fava beans and a shaved asparagus salad. "There will be a vegetable focus that will downplay animal protein," Tom Colicchio said of his upcoming Bridgehampton restaurant (and the future of food in general). On Sunday, even our producer Donna vowed that "meatless Monday starts tomorrow." 1 / 5 Game What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Andrew Zimmern's seminar, Game On!, kicked off the F&W Classic seminars for us, and he showed us how to cook with everything from antelope to elk to even African kudu. The class set the tone for the rest of the food served over the weekend, whether it was Blaine Wetzel's venison with spruce or Beaver Creek chef Dianel Joly's wild Colorado lamb gnocchi. 2 / 5 Highbrow Dessert What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Top Chef Just Desserts didn't prompt the trend of taking pastry to the next level; the show merely reflected it. For the first time ever, Food & Wine named a Best New Pastry Chef, Chris Ford, who was in the tents not far from the Best New Chefs serving up a pistachio rocky road pudding. A new Friday night event this year? Last Bite, a late-night dessert party hosted by Gail Simmons. Even Grand Cochon was spilling over with desserts, like the porky-chocolate pudding with whipped leaf lard buttercream and cinnamon (shown here), by Naomi Pomeroy of Portland's Beast. 3 / 5 Rabbit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rabbit has joined the ranks of duck, geese, and other animals that seem too cute to eat yet stun gourmands with their tender, succulent meat. Case in point: the rabbit crepe tacos prepared at the Stella Artois luncheon and a fork-tender rabbit "cassoulet" served at the Lexus tasting tents. 4 / 5 Greek Wines What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The first time I tried Greek wines, it was a revelation, but I wasn't yet convinced that Assyrtiko and Moschofilero were on the fast track to becoming mainstream. After seeing both Andrea Robinson's It's All Greek to Me! seminar and the massive Greek wines booth in Aspen, my mind's been swayed. Maybe we'll be seeing bottles decked out with Dafni after all. 6 / 5 0 0 7 0 0 Read More 2012 AspenTrendspottingAspen Food And WineFood Trends Aspen Food And Wine Give the Classic Martini a Modern Twist 2 hours ago A Modern Twist on a Classic: Fried Chicken 2 weeks ago Try Not to Blush Watching These Celebrity Chefs Talk About Foodgasms 2 weeks ago 15 Hangover Cures That Chefs Swear By 2 weeks ago Get the Dish: Scott Conant's Spaghetti Aglio e Olio 3 weeks ago The Next Great Mashup: Tex-Mex Barbecue Tacos 3 weeks ago Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

Scouting talent
As the 2011 season professional baseball warms up, it will be more than just New York Yankees fans and other franchises watching the performance of the team's "core four" veterans who have helped lead the team to a record five World Series championships and seven American League pennants since 1996.
As the four — shortstop Derek Jeter, 37, pitcher Mariano Rivera, 40, catcher Jorge Posada, 39, and pitcher Andy Pettitte, 38 — begin to show their age at a time when two of the players' contracts are expiring, Yankees former executive Bill Livesey, a 1962 graduate of the College of Education at the University of Maine, will be watching with a trained eye. Considered one of the best baseball scouts in the business, Livesey — a former UMaine athlete and coach from Brewster, Mass., and Yankees' vice president of player development and scouting — oversaw the signing and development of the core four in the early 1990s. It is the longest athletic dynasty in baseball history, but it could end this year.
Livesey's scouting contributions to the Yankees include 19 years from 1977 to 1995 and, after a 13-year stint in player development for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Toronto Blue Jays and New York Mets, back with the Yankees as a major league professional scout from 2008 to the present.
Yankees General Manager Brian Cashman calls Livesey a "baseball purist" and "one of the game's better evaluators of talent, one of the best baseball men that's around," crediting Livesey's role in the resurgence of the Yankees franchise.
"He's a Bill Parcells type. He just knows talent," Cashman says. "He's got a fiery demeanor. If he's got a position to take on a player, you're going to know it. Most of the time, he's spot on. He's right up there with the best because he is one of the best."
Now 70, at an age when most people are well into retirement, the Florida resident is getting ready for more national and international scouting forays and prospective player analysis in the minor and major leagues, including Japan and Latin America. He has no plans to retire.
"I still enjoy it," Livesey says. "I tell everybody you have to have something to retire from and you have to have something to retire to. Regardless, I'd be at games."
We asked Livesey to share his thoughts about his accomplished career and recollections of his four years at UMaine.
How did you get started in scouting?
Jack Butterfield, my UMaine coach and mentor, became scouting and player development director for the Yankees and in fall 1977, offered me a job managing and scouting.
What does it take to be a good baseball scout, and what does one look for?
Good scouts have a keen sense of awareness and a passion for the job. And it's greatly beneficial to have had many baseball player comparisons to draw from, whether obtained as a fan, player or coach.
How much pressure are professional scouts under?
Most professional scouts put great pressure on themselves to be a part of making good decisions for the organization.
What, exactly, is player development?
In a nutshell, it's teaching very talented young players to play championship baseball at the major league level. There is a ladder system of minor league teams in place on which players move upward toward the major leagues. They become proficient in each league before arriving at the major leagues. Hopefully, the process will produce a major league player who has impact upon arrival and longevity in the game.
How has the business — how has baseball — changed since you started scouting?
The game hasn't changed, but there have been a lot of changes in the game. The financial investment in the player has dramatically risen and competition from the other sports for the best athletes has increased considerably.
What is the most exciting or rewarding part of your work?
The most rewarding part of my work is playing a part in building a championship organization that produces players, coaches, scouts and executives for the major leagues.
What was it like working for late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner? Was he larger than life, as he has often been characterized?
Mr. Steinbrenner was a very demanding boss who expected excellence and was willing to give you all the resources necessary to get the job done. He demanded the pursuit of excellence in everything.
You were an accomplished athlete at UMaine. What sports and positions did you play? Did you ever play professional or semi-pro baseball?
I played basketball my freshman and sophomore years at the point guard position. Baseball was my primary sport, playing my freshman year and three varsity years, captaining the team as a senior. I played in the Cape Cod Baseball League during my time at UMaine in the summers and later went on to manage in the league.
What do you consider your most significant accomplishment?
I received four varsity letters, was named to several post-season teams and captained baseball at UMaine.
Why did you choose to attend UMaine?
My high school coach, Elmer "Doc" Biggers, was a UMaine alumnus and also several schoolmates had attended UMaine.
How did UMaine prepare you for what you are doing today?
I felt very well prepared in all areas, but exceptionally prepared in my area of passion. My coaches were outstanding in their fields — Jim Butterfield coached freshman basketball and baseball, Brian McCall was the varsity basketball coach and Jack Butterfield was my varsity baseball coach. Jack Butterfield was not only an outstanding coach, but was a mentor to me and became a close friend. We were taught championship standards and the proper approach to same.
How did your UMaine experience shape who you are now?
Many faculty members at UMaine contributed to my growth as a student-athlete, but in the profession I chose, the Athletic Department was full of outstanding coaches who prepared us to compete at a high level. We pursued excellence.
What is your most memorable UMaine moment?
Receiving my degree.
Favorite professor or mentor?
Although many made an impression on me, none made more of an impact than Jack Butterfield, from whom I received many baseball lessons, as well as life lessons.
Class that nearly did you in?
I have managed to forget that class, but it was math-related.
Best UMaine tradition?
Loyalty of UMaine people and their support of UMaine athletics.
What was your favorite place on campus?
Memorial Gymnasium and athletic complex.
While in Orono, I spent too much time at the Student Union.
If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have graduated in four years.
What advice would you offer UMaine students today?
Take advantage of all the opportunities and experiences on campus and find an area about which you are passionate. You will enjoy it and there is a good chance that you will succeed.

The biggest night of the year is coming up for the local Peer Court program.
The annual Peer Court auction is scheduled for Friday evening at Turtle Run Banquet Center, 332 E. Liberty Lane. The auction begins at 7 p.m. with a preview of the items starting an hour beforehand. Peer Court will provide hors d'oeuvre during the preview.
Katie Osterbur is associate director of the Peer Court program. She said proceeds from the annual auction amount to around 25 percent of the program's yearly budget — almost the same cost of housing a minor in the Illinois Department of Corrections.
"This event is a great way to show the kids how much support they have," she said. "It is overwhelming the amount of items that are donated.
"Then to have 300-plus come and bid on these items," Osterbur added. "I feel like we get more and more people each year."
This year marks the 20th year for the Peer Court program in Vermilion County.
Last year the event brought in more than $20,000 for the program. Peer Court has increased its income each year an auction has happened. It began in 2006.
As an event known in previous years for original and unique gifts, this year will be no different for the Peer Court auction.
Osterbur indicted there are several eye-catchers this year, starting with an experience at the University of Notre Dame campus.
"The Day at Notre Dame is a big one," she said. "That will be a full-day experience."
In addition, she said there are a number of items from the University of Illinois as well.
"We have a lot of Illini stuff this year with Chief Illiniwek," she said, including a woven blanket of the former longtime mascot for the Champaign-Urbana school.
Two plane rides have been donated from separate people this year as well as a combine ride for those who prefer to stay closer to the ground. A litany of handmade items ranging from pottery to quilts have been donated and will be up for bids.
Aside from unique gifts, there is a vast array of other items that will be up for bid at Friday evening's event, such as gift baskets filled with specialty items from local businesses. Also at the event will be tickets to local musicals by the Danville Light Opera and productions by the Red Mask Players.
"It's a fun time and a good cause," Osterbur said.
In addition to the auction, tickets for a 50/50 raffle also are on sale for the event. The tickets — $5 per ticket or $20 for five tickets — are available by contacting the Peer Court Office at 443-9044.
The Peer Court program, a United Way agency, has worked with first-time juvenile offenders in Vermilion County for more than 15 years, teaching the youths to take responsibility for their actions. Through a court/jury scenario of their peers, the offenders are sentenced to community service, apologies, essays and other penalties intended to improve the youths' choices in life.
Osterbur said increasing funding through the success of the annual auction has opened new doors for the Peer Court program, allowing it to offer a variety of new opportunities to participants.
"We've been able to offer clients more opportunities," she said. "We've been able to go out more in the community and train and recruit more volunteers."
According to 2012 statistics, the Peer Court program received a total of 178 referrals during the year — 94 from the Vermilion County State's Attorney and 84 from city Municipal Court.
"The thing with Peer Court is that no matter what, we're going to be here," she said. "We have that much support."
Peer Court auction tickets are $10 per person and are available at the door or before the date of the Peer Court Auction. For information or purchase, contact the Peer Court at 443-9044 or coordinators Paul Sermersheim at 304-8821 or Katie Osterbur at 260-0023.

HAVERHILL — Police said they have located the driver involved in a hit-and-run crash yesterday morning in which a 13-year-old girl was injured.
Police said they are not releasing any information about the driver — not the name or even the gender — because the investigation is continuing. But, police said they expect to bring charges.
The girl is recovering from her injuries and has been released from Lawrence General Hospital, police said. They said the girl did not suffer any broken bones, although she was reportedly unconscious and bleeding from her head at the scene.
The incident was reported to police at 8:03 a.m. yesterday and happened on Summer Street at the intersection of Stage Street, near City Hall.
Police said the girl was in the road when she was hit by the vehicle.
School Superintendent James Scully said the girl is in the eighth-grade at Nettle Middle School and that she was on her way to her school bus stop when she was hit. Scully said he spoke to the girl's mother late yesterday afternoon and was told the girl was home from the hospital. Her condition was improving, Scully said.
"She will be out of school for a few days," he said.
Police Deputy Chief Donald Thompson said investigators were able to locate the driver, but he would not say what information police were given that lead them to the driver.
"Police have interviewed the driver and we do anticipate (filing) charges," Thompson said.
He would not say what those charges would be, indicating that as of yesterday afternoon the investigation was still ongoing.

The shows are truly amazing! We saw the Comedy Show (really funny); Hairspray (probably as good as at the theater in the States); the Water Show (divers from 50 feet, what can I say; and the ship was moving at about 24 knots -- truly amazing); Ice Show (as good as in the States); and the Main Show with high flyers and great costuming.
The two parades were equivalent of Disneyland, minus the floats. The young children were just amazing to see at them.
The MDR had great food including lobster on the second to last night. We were My Time Dining which always worked out well. The speciality dining (cost more but worth it) was special; especially 150 Central Park (loved that unique martini and the Kobe beef cooked to perfection), Vintages (for tapas) and Izumi (great sushi).
Our inside stateroom was efficient (loved the shower; but not certainly for the overweight types). The room was so dark (but we loved it) and we slept the first night till almost 9:00AM (pretty rare for both of us).
We thought that Amy, the young Cruise Director, was amazing. Always up and seemingly everywhere. When did she sleep?
We were so impressed with this ship and its family atmosphere that we will plan a trip for our whole family next year.

Duval has an incredible backstory, and she's going to be the talk of the tournament over the next few days.
But it's important to note that she's just 17 years old, ranked 296th in the world, and had never beaten a top-50 player before last night.
There's a reason teen phenoms are all but extinct in women's tennis, and it'll be awhile before Duval contends at tournaments week-in, week-0ut.
In short, she's really, really young. Check out this video of her ESPN interview last night to get a sense of her youth:

Story:I had just finished teaching my 7:30 a.m. English 302
(Advanced Composition) class and was at my desk for Tuesday
office hours. Colleagues at NCC came into 416 Enterprise
(we academic advisors call our office space the "bull pen"
because 7 of us have office cubicles crammed into this room),
announcing that the first World Trade tower had been struck
by a plane. Very soon most of the NCC office staff/faculty
were gathered around the TV in the computer lab on this
floor. We watched, stunned, while a plane hit the second
tower. Then more news about the Pentagon, possible strikes
on other buildings in D.C. Faculty/staff came and went,
returning to their desks to call spouses, friends, relatives
who might have been involved. I remember thinking "Is this
the beginning of the end?" I wanted to see my two daughters,
both in high school at Woodson, in Fairfax, VA, just 5
minutes from my office, but I was scheduled to teach a class
for NCC at noon. Still in a state of shock, my team-teacher
and I walked over to our classroom to announce that class
was cancelled. In subsequent days, I feared coming to my
desk, thinking that universities would be a target for
follow-up terrorist attacks. I still live with a fear, kept
just below the surface, of living so close to the nation's

Dougherty County School Police say gang members are in every school in the system, even elementary schools. They're trying to reach kids at younger ages before the gangs can recruit them. That's why many of their officers are working with the CHAMPS summer program.
This is the 17th year that a summer youth program like CHAMPS has been promoted by the Dougherty County School Police and Sheriff's Office. School police officers are active this year, because they say the camp is more important than ever.
10 year old Alexzandria Love is one of the 105 kids enrolled in this year's CHAMPS Summer Program. She loves playing dodge ball and cheering games, but has also learned a lot about gangs. But the fifth grader at Sherwood Acres Elementary does not think there are gang members at her school. Love said "No, no. Not at all."
School police say they are glad Alexzandria does not know them, but she is wrong. Dougherty County School Police Assistant Chief J. C. Phillips said "Unfortunately gangs are in the elementary schools. One of our elementary schools we came across an all girls gang actually, called Stacks On Deck. It just starts younger and younger every year."
That's why School Police Lt. Ted Thomas is at the CHAMPS program, playing games with and educating campers about gangs.
Thomas said, "They are looking for kids with low self esteem, and here in the camp we are basically telling the kids to build their self esteem up. Have confidence in themselves, so when they say no, they mean no."
So bedsides dodge ball, Alexzandria and the other campers have been given lessons about gangs, and she learned them well.
Love said "Somebody ask you to be in a gang, or they are buying stuff for you, so they can get you in, don't be under pressure. Tell them no. Make sure you get an adult involved."
And school police officers say that lesson needs to be taught to ten year olds.
Thomas said "We do have gang members in all the schools in Dougherty County, and we are hoping that with school police we can educate the kids a lot more that gangs are not welcome in school."
Funs and games for Alexzandia and the kids, but with an important lesson behind them.
The School Police and the Sheriff's Office know if they can keep these kids from joining gangs, that is less crime and violence on our streets, so a safer community overall.
The five week CHAMPS summer program will continue through July 2nd.

"We're going to have somebody killed up here if we don't get some real, genuine security," said Circuit Judge Jerry Selman, who said there have been two attempts on his life during his time on the bench.
After a couple of recent incidents at the courthouse, Selman said he feels officials are starting to take the issue seriously.
"I think our present Walker County Commission wants to help with the problem," he said. "They've seen the security problem, and I hope they are willing to do something about it."
The courthouse was placed on lockdown on Thursday after a Jasper man reportedly threatened to kill several people, including his ex-wife. Aubrey Dill is currently being held in the Walker County Jail on a $125,000 cash bond after reportedly threatening to kill his ex-wife and eat her remains. It was reported by police that Dill also said he would kill others. Dill has been charged with three counts of making terrorist threats. Police said Dill was upset that a court ruling did not go his way.
Several weeks ago, another incident took place in a district courtroom when a man fled the courtroom after being found in contempt of court by District Judge Henry Allred.
"I placed him in contempt and he took off," Allred said. "We've all known we have security problems at the courthouse. These incidents have only highlighted those issues. We need to do something about it."
The man didn't run far, because he tripped and slammed into a wall near the offices of the Walker County Commission, which was meeting at the time.
"We all heard it when it happened," District 4 Commissioner Steven Aderholt said.
Commission Chairman Billy Luster said a state official is expected to visit the courthouse in the coming days to evaluate its security. Once that evaluation is complete, Luster said commissioners will act on the issue.
"We want to see what all areas need to be improved and then decide the best route to take to better secure the courthouse," Luster said. "This is something that needs to be done, and we are going to take care of it."
Aderholt called the security issue a "serious problem" during a commission meeting last week.
Several officials have said they believe fewer public access points will be a part of the solution to the security problem.
"I think we are going to have to close off some of the entrances to the public," Luster said. "That's something that may not be popular, but we'll have to all learn how to accept it. We've got to do what we can to make the courthouse safe for our employees and for the public."
Selman said he would support blocking all doors except one in the main courthouse and one at Annex 1. Annex 2, which houses the Probate Judge's office, has just one entrance. "There are just too many ways for people to get in and out of the courthouse," he said. "We need to limit that in some way."
Walker County Sheriff John Mark Tirey said he would be in full support of securing the courthouse.
"I will do what I can do to the best of my abilities," he said.
Luster said he expected the security issues would be addressed soon.
"We're not going to wait around on this," Luster said. "This is an important issue and we will deal with it accordingly."

Our story
Several years ago, I spent an uncomfortable hour with a slick salesman at a well-known High Street beds retailer, trying to decide which bed and mattress to buy. Needless to say it was an unpleasant experience, but pivotal in realising that consumers want to shop for furniture in the same way they do everything else, and they want delivery to work within their lives and schedules. And so now our team is focussed on offering a great range of furniture which is delivered direct to the consumer, without the High Street hassle.
Happy shopping,
Founder of Wedo, lover of good coffee.

What is a Deluxe Steel Shopping Cart XL
By Lea the lady who doesn't give up on life
from Ewing, NJ
About Me Handicapped Wsciatica, Renter
Ship assembled, but not opened up. Not everyone has time, capacity to create finished product for use. That is why I bought to begin with. Am disappointed and frustrated. I need product to take groceries, etc. from car to apartment which is on first floor. I use a cane now and cannot carry much now, but I still need things from supermarket, etc. That's why I don't shop at malls anymore. I cannot walk easily or stand for any length of time.

This product is basicly good. The design would be better if the small wheels were able to rotate.Making it easier for the disabled to push the cart and get it to go where they need it to go.Pulling it behind is not always an option.

My red Granny cart
By Mari7422000
from Milford Michigan
I love my new Granny Cart As I call it. I use this once a month to go to the market to buy all my vegetables and meat as no shopping cardts are availabe as this is an outside market. the wheels are grat and it handles beautifuly it is very spacious and fills my need well. I do not like the liner and have set a large cardboard box in bottom until i can have a washable heavy duty liner made from sheets
Many uses for this one cart!
By STP
from Jacksonville, Alabama
I use my cart to take my trash out (then clean my liner, of course). I do reccommend getting the liner with the cart. I don't go to the grocery store without my cart. With my work, I use it to take materials to and from my setup points and it has been a lifesaver. I've had many folks ask where I got the cart. I'm on my second cart...my first one lasted years.
