The transformation of the world's oceans due to overfishing, pollution and climate change will be the focus of a lecture at the University of Maine by a senior scientist emeritus at the Smithsonian Institution.
Jeremy Jackson's lecture, "Ocean Apocalypse," begins at 4 p.m. April 11 in Wells Conference Center, sponsored by the UMaine School of Marine Sciences. The lecture, followed by a reception, are free and open to the public. For more information or to request a disability accommodation, call 207.518.4385.
Overfishing, pollution and climate change are laying the groundwork for a massive transformation of the oceans with dire implications for biodiversity and human well-being. Jackson will speak about the fundamental changes humans need to make in order to save the oceans and themselves.
Jackson, the author of "Shifting Baselines: The Past and Future of Ocean Fisheries," also is professor of oceanography emeritus at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He studies human effects on oceans and the ecology and paleoecology of tropical and subtropical marine ecosystems. He has written more than 150 scientific publications and is the author or editor of eight books.
Jackson has received many awards including the 2012 Darwin Medal from the International Society of Reef Studies, the Peterson Medal from Harvard University and the Paleontological Society Medal. Jackson and filmmaker Randy Olson co-founded the Shifting Baselines initiative in which filmmakers and marine scientists collaborate to bring marine environmental issues to the larger public.

As Oracle has been prone to do for the past nine months, company officials Tuesday pledged a strong commitment to Java technology. They even offered glimpses of a modular future for the platform.
Oracle vice president Jeet Kaul, who is a former Sun Java official, and Oracle senior vice president Steve Harris offered perspectives on Java and road maps on technologies, including the GlassFish application server that serves as a reference implementation for Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 6. The two officials spoke at the at the EclipseCon 2010 conference in Santa Clara, Calif.
[ Also at EclipseCon Monday, Red Hat bolstered SOA and application development technologies. | Is it too late for JavaFX to succeed in a crowded marketplace? See InfoWorld's report. ]
Oracle became proprietor of Sun Microsystems Java technologies when its acquisition of Sun, announced last April, closed in January. The company has been offering reassurances to Java developers about the future of Java at different intervals since the JavaOne conference in San Francisco last June.
"[Java is] incredibly important to our business," Harris said. Priorities for Java at Oracle include adding to the developer base, boosting adoption, increasing competitiveness, and adapting to change, according Oracle.
"The key part of the Java story is the platform. That's the key part of its success," Kaul said, noting Java features a language as well. While Oracle has been an Eclipse Foundation participant for years, Sun always shunned the foundation. Now, former Sun officials can embrace Eclipse too.
The upcoming Java Development Kit (JDK) 7 will feature modularity, thus offering benefits in performance, scalability, and packaging, Kaul said. Modularity is featured as part of the Java Specification Request (JSR) 294 support in JDK 7. JSRs are proposals within the Java Community Process for amending Java. Other capabilities in JDK 7 are derived from JSR 203, which offers I/O APIs, and JSR 292, supporting dynamically typed languages on the Java platform. Java EE 6 also has featured modularity.
Following his presentation, Kaul offered assurances that there will be a Java EE 7 released at some point. "I'm sure there is going to be," said Kaul. Beyond Java EE 6, modularity will be key, according to the Oracle officials.
OSGi, meanwhile, plays an important part of the Java ecosystem and Java platform overall, Harris said.
GlassFish is to be upgraded later this year with version 3.1, featuring clustering, state replication, and coherence. Virtualization will be featured in an update to GlassFish planned for the first half of next year.
Kaul also lauded the JavaFX platform for providing rich user interfaces based on Java.
A Java developer attending EclipseCon felt reassured by Oracle.
"I think I was nervous about Sun was going to go with -- or rather where Oracle was going to go -- after they acquired Sun," said developer Alan Hantke, of Intuit. "I think they're going to continue the legacy of a fine product."

Villlage Empowerment
University of Massachusetts - Lowell, 2008 - $31,000Village Empowerment was founded on a commitment to sustainable partnerships among students, faculty and professional volunteers from a wide range of disciplines and institutions along with Quechua villagers in Peru. VE has installed over 80 systems that address renewable energy, health care, education, communication, water, food production and housing needs in 44 villages/towns with the help of more than 120 students, volunteers and 5 faculty from Umass Lowell. The long-term vision for this grant is to develop and offer a multi-disciplinary course on global poverty focusing specifically on Peru as a representative case study. Instructors will work together to develop a course on overcoming poverty using Peru as a case study. It will be a multi-disciplinary undergraduate course, which will involve service-learning projects, according to a student's major, for installation in a Peruvian village. The course will be structured to foster team-work and efficiently and effectively use the knowledge of Peruvian villages to innovate systems to help alleviate poverty throughout the world. Some of the students will travel to Peru. The course should provide students with the opportunity to complete a community-service project in Peru as well as give them a deeper understanding of mass poverty.

This is one fantastic wide crack! This is a fifty-degree overhanging dihedral that starts out bigger than fist/fist stacks and suddenly pinches down to hand/hand stacks about a third of the way up. At the lip, it suddenly widens back to bigger than double fists. Start sitting on the obvious jug to the left of the crack. This is a high standard wide crack that is tall, committing, and pure. The rock is excellent on this one, the landing is perfectly flat, and the line is aesthetic. This is one of the best and proudest wide crack problems I have done anywhere, and I am extra proud to have onsighted this one.
This is the big, obvious line that dominates The Stone Cold Cave.
A couple of pads and a spotter. The lip is about fifteen feet up, and the crux starts where it pinches down and finishes when you top out.

The Thomson Reuters Social Sciences Citation Index for 2013 has now been published and its good news for the ECPR's journals. The increase in the EJPR's Impact Factor has been such that it is now back in the top 10 – at number 8, with a 56% increase on 2012. EPS, the ECPR's professional journal, received its highest Impact Factor to date and a move up in the rankings from 118 to 69.
Unfortunately, the news from EPSR was not so good with a fall from last year's high, but preliminary analysis shows that the figures were very strongly influenced by the movement out of the impact factor window of one particular article - Vivien Schmidt's 'Taking ideas and discourse seriously: explaining change through discursive institutionalism' from issue 2:1 (2010), which has received 80 citations to date!

Bun's not over for burger bar
Updated 1:11pm Wednesday 13th February 2013 in Business
BURGER bar owner Hakan Keskin is to hand over the spatula to staff member Sally Newport after 24 years of keeping Didcot well fed.
The father-of-three is taking a break from catering and Keskin's Snack Bar, in Market Place, has been bought out by member of staff Mrs Newport.
Mr Keskin, 53, from the Fleet Meadow estate, took over Bilko's Burger Bar in October 1989 and renamed it after himself.
He said: "It's been hard work over the years but it's been rewarding too and I have seen lots of changes in Didcot — I had lots more hair when I started!
"I feel like I have done my bit for Didcot and I'm going to take a break for a few months, although I might go back into catering at some point.
"We have served thousands of loyal customers with our food, including bestsellers – burgers and breakfast rolls."
Mum-of-three Mrs Newport, an employee of 10 years, said: "Hakan deserves a break and I have taken over the lease. I'm carrying on a Didcot institution."
She will be helped by daughter Kayleigh, 21, and, in keeping will tradition, will carry her name – Sal's Snack Bar.

Withdrawal Procedures
Withdrawal is defined as disenrolling after the current semester. Should a student withdraw prior to the census day, no record will exist. Should a student decide to withdraw prior to the last day to withdraw, a grade of "W" will be posted to the student's transcript. Should the student decide to withdraw after this date, the instructor is given the prerogative to award either a "W" or an "F".
How to Withdraw
In the event a student wishes to withdraw from the Health Science Center, a Student Request for Official Withdrawal must be completed in myHSC by clicking on the Withdrawal link under the Registrar tab. You will complete an on-line form and submit it for approval by the appropriate parties. Then, the Withdrawal Request is submitted to the Offices of Financial Aid and Student Financial Services. You will receive an e-mail communication when the withdrawal is complete. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the withdrawal process has been completed.
Specific Details
Details regarding the repercussions of a withdrawal are available from each service office. Students are encouraged to contact the Offices of Financial Aid and International Services prior to withdrawing from the institution.
Students should refer to their respective component's academic calendar for the last day to withdraw. No withdrawals will be accepted after the last day to withdraw from the HSC for any given semester without the approval of the Registrar and the student's component representative.

Ten-Second Residential Parking Permit Program On-Line Survey!
Original post made by Craig Laughton on Feb 22, 2013
Inside my mail box is a flyer from somebody named Aaron Greenspan, or so the flyer says/suggests. He want wants College Terrace neighbors to do a "Ten-Second" online survery, with his stated position to opt out of the RPPP in College Terrace.
I looked up his website, that he directed all to go to. It is a real absurdity, in terms of running a real poll...completely driven to to get a vote to oppose the current RPPP in CT.
I would suggest that all CT residents just refuse to buy into his bogus poll. He will come up with a set of results, I am sure, but it is has no statistcial value.
However, I do suggest that all CT residents who are intereted, go to his website to determine how absurd his poll is. Look in your mailbox, where he (illegally) placed his political flyer.
on Feb 22, 2013 at 6:56 pm
I support getting rid of the RPPP in college terrace and support allowing at campers on our streets. I used to be a right wing but now I am a leftist, so I support car camping and oppose residential parking permits
P.S., Craig, if you are donating your time, do not make an issue out of it -- sounds more like " look at me I am donating y time and it is very taxing. Aren't I wonderful"
on Feb 23, 2013 at 1:49 pm
Please try to show some respect for College Terrace. It is not "college terrace", it is College Terrace. We are a real neighborhood that deserves respect, and we fight for it. The RPPP is one example of this respect we have for ourselves.
I notice that you are OK with the Downtown North handle. BTW, do you think that DN needs an RPPP? I am aware of several people who want it.
Not to mention: I am proud of my volunteer work, and I don't mind mentioning a hard day at the job, only to find an illegal political flyer in my mailbox. This is the first time I have ever gotten such a thing in my mailbox. All the others, including the solicitors of landscaping offers, avoid my mailbox. "Aaron Greenspan" (according to the flyer) ignored the U.S. Mail law...that really pissed me off...after a hard day at the park. Then only to see how his ridiculous poll was pushed....
on Feb 23, 2013 at 4:30 pm
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
Obviously some people are not happy with the RPPP in college terrace. Don't they have a right to change the system?
If you have an issue with the flyer n your box contact the post office or police.
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
I am against RPPPs n any neighborhood and I am in favor of car camping in college terrace

For Northeast Ohio car dealers, 2012 so far hasn't brought a repeat of the big sales of 2011, when consumers returned to the market after a terrible 2010. But they're optimistic things will pick up as the year goes along.
As a 21-county region, Northeast Ohio car dealers sold 47,855 cars through March — about 1.8 percent more than the same period last year, according to the Greater Cleveland Auto Dealers Association.
That's a more modest gain than in other U.S. markets, where sales jumped by 20 percent during the same period, according to a National Auto Dealers Association report. But area sales managers don't focus on such comparisons. Their confidence in a slowly improving economy and a loosening loan market hasn't wavered.
If the GCADA's prediction for the rest of the year holds true, dealers are in for a repeat of a robust 2011, when area sales jumped 20 percent over the previous year.
"I think we're going to duplicate it and do better," said GCADA President Louis A. Vitantonio. "Our market is continuing to turn, and people's stability in jobs and the economy is better — not certainly where we want it to be, but better than it was in previous years, which means people are going to spend a little money on that big purchase."
Last year wasn't good for all brands. Local Toyota dealers suffered first from a series of recalls that damaged the brand and then from the effects of the tsunami, which constricted supply just as sales started to recover.
Matt Gile, general manager of in Cleveland Heights, hopes that two new Prius models and the typically top-selling Camry help him forget last year, when at times he had fewer than 50 cars available to sell. He's got about five times that figure now.
"It's hard to be in the car business when you don't have cars to sell," Gile said. "This year, we finally have inventory and the market's back … Banks are back to buying more deals, and the incentives are really good."
Gile said excitement surrounding the annual Cleveland Auto Show in late February and early March usually helps boost March sales, but this year regional sales of all brands actually fell 4 percent. Still, 16 brands sported increases during the year's first three months, including Kia, Chrysler and Ford, the area's best-seller, which accounted for 8,874 vehicles.
At , by contrast, the only way to go is up; to open in the country last year. It had been 27 years since the brand was sold in the U.S.
Paul Podnar, a Fiat specialist in Strongsville, said that was exciting and complicated, all at once.
"It's not like you're opening a Ford dealer; you're bringing a brand that's been gone for 30 years," he said. "Lots of education goes into it, because most people don't realize how big Fiat is."
To rebuild brand recognition, Fiat of Strongsville held a number of promotional events including a cookout on the sales lot, and debuted a new Fiat 500 model with Gucci leather seats at Tower City Center, Podnar said.
While local auto sales figures for March aren't as robust as the national stats, as The Plain Dealer reported in April, local dealers now say they're not worried.
The GCADA's Vitantonio said he has little concern for such comparisons, and that hiss member dealers feel the same way.
"It's not important," he said. "They're concerned about what they control, which is how their store performs. You have Detroit and some big markets that have a lot of sales based on people who work in the industry. You can't compare yourself to that.
"We're more concerned about the reports we put out for our 21 counties."
Besides, he added, 2011's numbers might have looked rosy because 2010's were so bad. The combination of pent-up demand and the desire for fuel-efficient vehicles will be the determining factors this year, he said.
"It may be an alternative fuel vehicle or just one that (offers) more miles per gallon," Vitantonio said. "That's the factor that will lead us to higher vehicle sales.
"I think there's going to be a shift in this segment going forward for the remainder of 2012."

Following last night's Bellator 98 event, we're rounding up a couple of Bellator news items for your edification and enlightenment.
First up, a source is claiming that former Bellator Bantamweight champ and Fight Master reality star Joe Warren was KO'd in training. Chuck Mindenhall has more at MMA Fighting:
MMA Fighting was told from a source close to the commission on Saturday night that Warren was "knocked out while sparring," and that is "100 percent the reason he was pulled from the card." This prompted the Tribe's commissioner Mike Mazzulli to pull the plug on the bout upon seeing the medical report. The source said that he only learned of the situation on Wednesday, meaning the incident happened fairly close to the fight.
Bellator's CEO and founder Bjorn Rebney wouldn't go so far as to say the reason out of respect for Warren, but did say the former featherweight champion could be cleared in a couple of weeks.
"What [Mazzulli] did was, out of respect for Joe and for how long Joe had been prepping in Albuquerque with Greg [Jackson], Mike allowed Joe not just to get bounced out because of the medical results from the initial doctor," Rebney told MMA Fighting. "He allowed Joe to get back and go to a specialist and then see if those tests would clear him at the higher, more involved level of testing. And they almost did.
"What I can tell you is, the specialist who tested him in Denver said, look, if it were my son I wouldn't approve it. But there are circumstances that would cause me to approve it if you can wait three or four weeks and we can do the tests again That'll answer any questions, and we'll be 100 percent. And [Mazzulli] said, if we're not 100 percent we're not allowed to go.
Rebney also attempted to clarify the status of Light Heavyweight champ Attila Vegh who had told the Polish media that he was not injured and that the Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal vs. Emanuel Newton rematch at Bellator 106 was booked for "business reasons," via MMA Fighting:
"What honest to God happened with Attila Vegh is, Attila came to us and said, 'I'm injured, here's the medical report," Rebney said. "And we went back to him and said, 'great, tell us when you're off the injury because we've got to do the Newton fight.' Then Attila came back to us as we started to schedule the Newton fight, which we wanted to do in July, he said I can't go in July. Because we wanted to do the finalization of the tournament in addition to the Newton fight against Vegh, but couldn't do it.
"Then we waited until mid-August, and said look, we've got to start planning the fall schedule. You've either got to say to us, 'I'm in," and give us a date in October or November. But if you're still ambiguous and can't give us a date we've got to schedule something and then you'll get to fight the winner of the interim fight. And he said, 'I understand it's a business, schedule something because I can't give you a date right now.' So we did.
"Vegh called us and said, 'I was quoted out of context,' and that he said 'I understand it's a business, people want to see that fight, so they'll do it now.' And people construed it to mean he was saying he was bypassed to step aside. I've got a seven-page addendum to his contract that says, I'm injured, here's the medical report, and I understand I'm injured."
Bellator 99 will take place this coming Friday, September 13 and will feature The Bellator debut of Featherweight Diego Nunes against Patricio Freire and Light Heavyweight Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Houston Alexander.

Claiming Police Harassment, Ai Weiwei Skips Court Hearing
Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei's attempt to appeal the $2.4 million fine he faces for allegedly failing to pay taxes has hit a roadblock—a few of them, actually. His legal counsel has disappeared, and he says that Chinese authorities told him not to attend a scheduled hearing and sent police to his Beijing studio, leading to a scuffle of some type with one of his assistants.

On tap at the brewpub. Poured into a 10 oz. goblet glass.
Appearance: Deep brownish amber orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. About two fingers of off white head with decent retention. Good lacing is left on the glass.
Smell: Big yeasty aroma with lots of banana and clove. Good hints of bready malts with hints of caramel and toffee. Coriander and pepper spices. Hint of citrus orange. Also some subtle earthy hops lingering around. A little bit of alcohol is the smell. Very forward with the banana and spices.
Taste: Like the smell leads, a very banana and spice forward bock. Lots of bready yeast with a big taste of banana and clove with some coriander and pepper spice. Caramel malts with a hint of toffee. A little bit of orange and some light earthy hops. Also a light hint of vanilla. Again very banana ester and spice forward.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a moderate level of carbonation. Creamy and slick with a light kick from the alcohol. Still very smooth.
Overall: A very good take on the Weizenbock style. Very fruity but the sweetness is kept in check well by the spices.

Pours a very hazy, dark orange with about a quarter-inch light tan head. The beer lightens up around the sides of the glass - a slightly more yellow version of its hazy-self. The nose is mostly clove with banana hiding behind the very spicy aromas best described as a rich wheat bread.
There is a more subdued version of all the scents in their flavor versions - perhaps less bready and less spicy. There is a decent amount of booze qualities especially in the mouthfeel, sort of bourbon-like, but not quite: warm and oily and with bits of cocoa, vanilla and caramel tones layered in the background. As it warms, the beer gives off more of the banana and clove flavors.

On-tap at the brewery, served in a 10oz straight-sided tulip. This batch is listed at 8.1%.
Cloudy copper-tinged redwood liquid, nearly opaque with an off white collar and faint crust. Fine lacing, poor retention.
Soft wheat cereal aroma with a touch of fruit - pleasant but weak.
Pleasing fruit and malt on the palate. Clove emerges as the beer warms. Light tartness comes out mid-palate and a smooth wheat-filled finish leads into a final bite from the alcohol.
Creamy, rich mouth-feel with low but adequate carbonation.
A decent, slightly hot rendition of the style.

Served in a pint glass a murky burnt orange with a thick cap of foam that leaves a few spots of lace.
The smell is all banana and clove. Big, fruity and mildly spicy. Smells very much like banana cream pie.
Oh yeah, the flavor is all banana and clove too. A little wheat in there, but it's nearly drowned out by the aforementioned flavors.
Chewy with creamy carbonation. Mediumish bodied.
A great example of the style. A very enjoyable beer that hides the alcohol extremely well. I would have this one again for sure.

Pours a beige head. Color is a caramel brown.
Aroma: wheat meet bock. Bananas, cloves, coriander and spice. Then caramel and chocolate malt. Awesome!
Taste: pretty much the nose but I taste cocoa now. I also get the raisins and vanilla. A decent amount of sweetness.
Mouthfeel: smooth and creamy. Medium bodied with a good amount of carbonation.
Overall, this was a great take on the style. Tasted very German. Well done and enjoyable.

This looks great. Beautiful murky mess with a glowing orange presence. Head is bubbly and dense and tan. Lacing is quite full. Very good nose. Bready, yeasty aroma of freshly baked bread. Slight pepper spiciness. Slight banana and a little chocolate. Flavor follows through in a big way. Way too easy to drink. Could be dangerous. Warm bready maltiness with mashed bananas, very slight clove, light chocolate and estery goodness. This is great.

An ok beer....not as much spicy clove impression some....pretty sweet....a lot of mashed overripe banana and a sweeter sugary feel...borders on cloying..not getting much of a dark cocoa impression either....very sticky and sweet....this is decent enough but just a little too one sided with the sweetness

On tap at Town Hall Brewery. This beer arrives a cloudy amber-orange color. The head is one inch in height, and recedes quickly into moderate lacing. The aroma is of banana bread, and cloves. The taste is a bit more complex than the aroma. There are over ripe bananas, cloves, vanilla, and a hint of black pepper. The mouthfeel is full bodied with a chewy texture, and lively carbonation. Overall, this is a really nice weizenbock that I will surely drink again given the opportunity.

Quick response from the Vermilion Police Department saved the life of a 17-year-old swimmer in Lake Erie.
On Sunday May 26, 2013 at approximately 7:05 p.m. the Vermilion Police Department received a phone call from Delores Kovacs stating that her daughter, 17-year-old Carolyn Kingsboro, was swimming in Lake Erie off of Main Street Beach.
Kovacs was concerned that her daughter was too far from shore to be able to return.
Vermilion Police sent a police boat to the area. No one was spotted.
The mom later told police her daughter was in the area near Showse Park instead.
The police boat found the teen a mile off shore in the area of Showse Park.
They noticed she was clearly in need of help. Police say she was cold, pail in color and out of breath. She had no other visible injuries.
The teen said she didn't know why she was swimming so far off shore.
At the time of the rescue Carolyn was in 9 feet of water. Water temperature was 56 degrees. Air temperature was 57 degrees.

Cup exit for Tottonians against Brighton
8:10am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in Sport By Clive Downton, Rugby correspondent and sub-editor
Tottonians have been left to concentrate on league honours after losing to Brighton in the RFU Intermediate Cup.
Totts gave as good as they got in the home fixture but lost out 11-28, with Brighton eventually pulling away from their battling opponents in the latter part of the second half – despite the home side having the lion's share of the game after the interval.

Eric Cephus, the on-call Sacramento County sheriff's deputy who was arrested for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old girl at a Lincoln hotel, was sentenced today to 18 years in state prison.
Cephus, 39, who had pleaded not guilty to molestation charges on March 4, abruptly changed his plea to "no contest" in Placer County Superior Court in Auburn to two felony charges of committing a lewd act with a child under the age of 14 years old.
In addition, he admitted a special allegation of kidnapping the victim for purposes of having sex with a minor. That admission accounted for 15 of the 18-year prison sentence.
Judge J. Richard Couzens also ordered Cephus to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life, submit to non-confidential AIDs testing and pay fines and restitution totaling $5,260.
Cephus agreed to accept two felony strikes on his criminal record and he will be on parole for three years after being released from prison.
In a barely audible voice, Cephus apologized in court to the victim and her family, who were in the courtroom.
"I just want to say I'm sorry," Cephus said. "I've destroyed my life. I let people down."
His attorney, Barry Rekoon of the Placer County Public Defender's Office, said his client's life "is basically over."
Rekoon said Cephus might find a job doing janitorial-type work "but even that might be difficult."
The defense attorney said his client changed his plea because a conviction in a trial exposed him to a potential life sentence. Cephus will spend more than 15 years in prison before being eligible for parole, Rekoon said.
Prosecutor Jeff Wood of the Placer County District Attorney's Office said the plea punishes the defendant and protects society. It was also made in an effort to avoid placing the 13-year-old girl on the witness stand, although Wood felt the girl would have done well under questioning.
"We had a pretty strong case," he said, adding that he thought the change of plea and the sentence "was a fair resolution" to the case.
The incident involving Cephus and the girl occurred on Feb. 26. He picked up the victim and another 12-year-old girl while patrolling in Sacramento County and drove them to a children's receiving home.
He dropped off the 12-year-old girl but enticed the other girl to come with him to a hotel in Lincoln for sexual favors after he first changed into regular clothing and switched his patrol car for his own vehicle. In exchange for the sexual favors, he offered the girl clothing and a place to stay, Wood said.
The following day, the victim walked into a beauty salon in Lincoln and tried to borrow a phone to call a taxi for a ride back to Sacramento. Employees at the salon were suspicious of the story she gave them and called Lincoln police, who investigated and arranged to have Cephus arrested at his home in San Jose several days later.
Cephus, who was being held in the Placer County jail on $1 million bail and who has resigned from the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, had gone to court today for a preliminary hearing, in which the prosecution presents evidence to a judge to determine whether a case should go to trial.
But an hour after the scheduled starting time, the judge convened proceedings by announcing that the defendant had agreed to change his plea.
While technically not a guilty plea, an entry of "no contest" means a defendant does not admit guilt for a crime but is willing to be punished by a judge as if the plea had been that of guilty.

Right off the heels of a recent recession and recovery, the Flathead housing market is at a stand-still during this government shutdown.
John Middleton, a realtor in the business for more than a decade, is getting some mixed signals.
"The general consensus is that those types of loans which are a huge part of our market right now are generally being held up," said Middleton.
Government-backed loans typically make it easier for lower income and first time home buyers to take that next step.
"Outside of the luxury market, they're the driving force in lending right now in the Flathead Valley," explained Middleton.
With the government shutdown, the housing market in the Valley is in limbo. Every loan taken out for a single family home requires a tax transcript from the IRS, meaning even traditional loans such as RD loans and FHA loans, in addition to government subsidized loans, are on hold as long as federal loan officers are furloughed.
"Active buyers have seemed to back off the gas a little bit," observed Middleton, "They're not pursuing properties as aggressively as they may have."
Scott Fair already owns two properties in Whitefish. He is concerned, though, about possibly taking on a third in the middle of a government shutdown.
"We'll look at properties and opportunities," said Fair "but it would have to be an extremely attractive deal to take the risk on right now."
Both Fair and his wife work from home and use money earmarked for their retirement to fund their real estate purchases. Before the shutdown, his rental property tenants were talking about buying the house on Birch Court. Now, that talk has fallen silent and Fair does not think he will be rolling the dice anytime soon.
"I hope things get resolved and the markets stabilize and the growth continues that we've been experiencing recently," said Fair, "Then, I would feel better about diving back in."
Middleton also mentions that less people will see and take an interest in the Valley-- as a potential new home or second home--since Glacier National Park is closed.

should never be sealed. The purpose of the cedar
paneling is to release the aroma and volatile
compounds in the cedar into the closet to repel

I will start by saying I was more disappointed with the fact that Zakk Wylde was not permitted to write for Ozzy's recent "Down to Earth" album because it wouldn't have been commercial enough, so I was anxious to hear the new BLS album. While its not as brutal and staggering as "Stronger Than Death", "1919 Eternal" has a lot going for it. Opening track "Bleed For Me" screams radio single, boasting Zakk's trademark growl and a catchy opening riff followed by a blazing solo. "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom" is an album highlight, featuring the longest solo on the album. However, songs like "Battering Ram", "Demise of Sanity", and "Graveyard Disciples" sound like these songs were written for Ozzy, I mean the way Zakk sings them you can imagine Ozzy singing them, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. The album closer is Zakk's rendition of "America the Beautiful", a touching acoustic tribute to our country and those who died on September 11th. All in all, "1919 Eternal" may not be Zakk's best work, but to say that its worth a look is an understatement.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Zakk sinks his teeth in once again on 1919 Eternal! 1919 has a much more polished sound than the previous two BLS offerings giving it a much better dynamic feel without losing the edginess of prior BLS work. His guitar work on this disc is probably more reminiscent of his Ozzy work than prior BLS. The sound and overall "feel" may give it enough 'radio-friendly' feel for former hard rock/metal stations that are now close minded rap with a guitarist stations. This disc shreds into action with the opening track, Bleed For Me (start requesting it on your local stations SDMF's!!) and continues a great thick heavy groove through much of the disc. The exceptions are Bridge to Cross; showcasing Zakk's mind blowing ability to write incredible, melodic ballads. Speedball; an instrumental reminiscent of T.A.Z. Lost Heaven; another excellent ballad. Finally the CD ends with a very warm, well done version of America The Beautiful that even your mother would love. Zakk I think has mastered another excellent disc, possibly his best metal disc to date. P&G and BoS are still two of my favorite CDs by far from any artist but this CD will be in rotation for a long time to come. Finally someone has released a CD that lives up to metal tradition.
A good run of the mill metal album, with a few standouts – and they do stand out. 'Bridge To Cross' is a beautiful song with a suberb solo, and 'Bleed For Me' is good also. However, the vocals are sometimes perhaps below standard, and I'd easily reccomend 'The Blessed Hellride' over this, but if you like rock and like Zakk Wyldes stuff with Ozzy then buy this album for 'Bridge to Cross' alone.
However, for people who aren't Z.W devotees, the shredding may get annoying after a while – this is something he's improved with newer stuff – the solo's have feeling in them, not just speed. Recommended, but don't expect a masterpiece. I am suprised to read that BLS fans like this album the best – possibly because it is more metal-head orientated and not as mainstream.
I've been a big fan of Zakk Wylde since his days with Ozzy, and have purchased every one of his CD's throughout his career. This one is has both the heaviness of Stronger Than Death and the variety of Sonic Brew. I'd say its a better album overall than Stronger Than Death. It was just recorded poorly and dominated by too many of similar-sounding riffs. This album containing 14 songs is still very heavy, but has a couple slower songs, including a nice but short instrumental: Speedball. Finally after all the hardcore songs it finishes with Zakk's own version of "America the Beautiful." Something I wouldn't normally expect on an album of his, but a nice interpretation nonetheless. If you like BLS this is a must buy, but if you're also tired of all the mainstream rock/rap trash like Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit, this album will definately remind you of what rock 'n roll is all about.
One of Black Label Society's most straightforward metal albums (at least one in a trilogy of them, along with STRONGER THAN DEATH and THE BLESSED HELLRIDE), this features some of Zakk Wylde's best metal work. After a few noise effects and a strangely brutal howl, a fairly fast, rumbling riff smashes in with the intensity of a derailed train on "Bleed for Me," one of the most memorable songs in Black Label Society's (and Zakk's) career.Black Label Society is one of the ultimate metal outfits I have ever heard; they (and by "they," I mean Zakk and whomever else he hires as extra help) can do it all. There are the fast-paced, riff-based juggernauts like "Bleed for Me," "Lords of Destruction," "Demise of Sanity," and "Battering Ram." Songs like "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom," "Graveyard Disciples," "Refuse to Bow Down," and "Berserkers" carry Zakk's signature chugging, lock-step rhythms. Then there's a couple ballads/semi-ballads, including "Bridge to Cross," "Lost Heaven," and the absolutely amazing acoustic instrumental "America the Beautiful," which is to this day my favorite of Zakk's quieter pieces.Zakk's vocal performance, as is unfortunately often the case with Black Label Society, is somewhat marred at times. After hearing his amazing singing voice on BOOK OF SHADOW, I know he can do better than this; but then again, Black Label Society is an entirely different beast from that album. As well, his lyrics are their usual subjects of fighting, death, war, getting drunk and/or stoned, and generally being a bada**. However, it is ultimately the instrumental work that is Zakk's emphasis with Black Label Society, and it works.Still one of my top 5 favorite guitarists, Zakk never fails to impress me, especially not on this album. Riffs aplenty, his solos and leads here are especially vigorous and ferocious, and often trippy (just listen to the lead in the pre-chorus of "Lords of Destruction"). Perhaps my favorite track, instrumentally, is "Demise of Sanity," where he has fast riffs played in a lock-step rhythm, with simply killer bursts of distortion in the choruses. And the solo…it nearly makes me have seizures listening to it. Well, not really, but you know what I mean.His acoustic guitar talents are fully exercised here, too, as evident on "Bridge to Cross," "Lost Heaven," and "America the Beautiful." He puts such soul and nice grooves into the strums and finger-picking, it really is some amazing stuff. Again, for more of this, check out BOOK OF SHADOWS. And yes, he has one of his little acoustic guitar solos, which might not be much, but sure show off his talent.Finally, the hired musicians: Craig Nunemacher, longtime drummer for Crowbar, once again lends his excellent talents to Black Label Society. However, on several tracks ("Bleed for Me," "Demise of Sanity," and "Life, Birth, Blood, Doom") someone known as Christian Werr is the muscle behind the percussion. Whoever he is, he is quite good. Also, on "Demise" and "Life…" is featured Robert Trujillo, currently the bassist for Metallica and formerly of Suicidal Tendencies and Ozzy. He adds a nice, funky sort of groove to the work, and really has a good stage presence. His work will be missed.And…that's it. For an ultimately good, old-fashioned heavy metal album, check out Black Label Society's 1919 ETERNAL. Just don't headbang too hard.

By: John Carlton from Norwalk Ct on 07/11/2009This is a very solid quiet compressor. The noise level is low for a compressor of this capacity, the tank fills up quickly and it could push air through my double action Iwata brush for a long time without draining the tank. If you are running it on the floor you should plug into a power strip on your bench to make it easier to turn off. There was no pulsation. All in all a great machine.

I am now a week behind myself on my postaday plans. My excuse is that I have been on holiday and it has been too hectic to find time to order my thoughts and write. The upside of the hectic holiday and pause in posting is that I have had a couple of days at Woodhorn Archives and fitted in a couple of cemetery photo shoots so I have a lot to write about as I catch up. During the coming week I will be writing more to make up for the missing period. (This is catch-up post for Sunday 1 April).

Happy Easter
This Easter is the second anniversary of my genealogy activities. It is two years since my first trip to Woodhorn and I think I may have broken through a brick wall yesterday. I believe I may have found my Cracket 3x great grandparents. Still have a couple of things to check before I can confirm the theory.
More things to do on the next UK trip
These are a few additions to the list of items to follow up on my next trip to the UK:
- Take a look at the Coldstream tollbooth where some of my relatives married to avoid using the established church
- Check Coldstream churchyard for any of my Murray kin
- Take a trip to Ulgham churchyard to see if it helps with the Watson line
Planning next archive trip
I have been doing some planning this evening for my next trip to Woodhorn Archives and NDFHS at Percy House. Among the checks I want to make if I have time are:
- Confirm the correct father for Margery Hall born 1803 in Elsdon, Northumberland, since we have found conflicting information in various transcripts
- Try to confirm which Isabella Cracket married Garnet Caisley
- Integrity check on the various Adam Cracket and David Cracket births and marriages in the early 1800s. I think I may have some errors in my data.
- Take a closer look at the Olivers of Netherton and Hauxley
- Try to find a marriage record for Thomas Oliver born 1800 in Hepscott and his wife Alice
- Try to find parents for Robert Parkinson born 1792, probably somewhere around the Walker area.
- Look for a marriage record for William Reay born 1776, possibly somewhere around the Walker area
- Look for a marriage record for Thomas Carr born 1815 in Willington and Ellen Reed (Reid or Read) born 1822 and try to find her parents
Ambitious plans, and if previous experience is anything to go by, I will no doubt get sidetracked onto something completely different but equally useful.
Full month of postaday
When I picked up blog writing again in February after a year of writer's block I decided to be ambitious and aim for a new post every day. Today is the one month anniversary of the new kick-off and so far I have achieved the postaday goal. In the past month my main readers have been from Norway, UK, USA, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and the Netherlands.
Sunny spring Sunday
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon. I took advantage of the spring sunshine to sit out on the balcony with a cuppa and do some blog tidying in preparation for writing some of the more interesting stories that will flesh out the names and dates and give a better picture of my ancestors' lives. Among the changes made today are:
- Surnames– added several new names to the list and set up a marking system for names added in the current month.
- Places– developed the introduction further and added a few more towns and villages to the list of those I intend to write about.
- Wrongdoings– tidied up the introduction and the list of events I plan to write about
- Gruesome ends – added to the introduction and to the list of unpleasant and untimely deaths that I plan to write about.
Research database statistics
After a couple of years of wondering how to produce a table in my blog I have finally realized that the solution is to link up Windows Live Writer to WordPress. If this proves successful then I will be able to improve the readability of several pages. Testing out the table functionality with some statistics about my research database: Continue reading
Changing layout
This evening I am going to be rash and apply a different "theme" (layout) to my blog. If everything winds up higgledy-piggledy I hope that readers will bear with me until I disentangle it again.
Page list tidied up
I have now structured the page list in the right hand column of the blog, so it should be easier to use as a navigation tool. The page hierarchy is similar to the menu structure.
Back to blogging
A combination of a house move and changing roles at work in 2011 resulted in lower activity on my genealogy research and blogging. Back in action now and planning more regular updates.

According to a State Farm survey using national data, Montana is second in the nation with a 1 in 65 chance of colliding with a deer. The national average is 1 in 174. The only state which is worse is West Virginia.
In the past year, there were about 1.22 million collisions caused by deer. The average damage was about $3,414. The only good news for Montanans is the likelihood for such a crash is down 6%.

Hi all,
I have a problem registering my N95 phone via a SIP REGISTER.
The SIP register message that I would like the SIP stack on the phone to send should look similar to below:
REGISTER sip:test.abc.com;transport=UDP SIP/2.0
Route: <sip:test.abc.com;lr;transport=UDP>
Via: SIP/2.0/UDP 10.1.0.55:5060;branch=z9hG4bKcbcun07br1hc71i5sbnoe9q;rport
From: <sip:alice;email@example.com>;tag=f70en01n8dhc7ee0sbno
To: <sip:alice;email@example.com>
Contact: <sip:alice;email@example.com;transport=UDP>;expires=3600
CSeq: 1181 REGISTER
Call-ID: -dTHw5-KoIcKtebLsJC25cmRA10ojK
Supported: sec-agree
User-Agent: Nokia RM-227 1.0633.22.05
Max-Forwards: 70
Content-Length: 0
The problem that I have is that the Sip stack on the N95 phone does not like a SIP user parameter like "alice;mext=123456". If the user parameter is specified like this, the SIP stack does not send any REGISTER (I use Wireshark to monitor the SIP traffic).
If I change the user parameter to "alice" only, the SIP stack sends a REGISTER message as it should!
I have tried the same SIP settings on a Nokia E61i and on a Nokia E65, and the SIP stack on these phones do not have a problem with having the SIP user parameter specified as "alice;mext=123456", they send SIP REGISTER messages that looks like above. I only see this problem on the Nokia N95 phone...
Any ideas?
