U.S. Supreme Court
Mason v. The Ship Blaireau, 6 U.S. 2 Cranch 240 240 (1804)
Mason v. The Ship Blaireau
6 U.S. (2 Cranch) 240
Salvage. One-third of the gross proceeds of the ship and cargo allowed as salvage, one-third of which was allowed to the owners of the saving vessel and cargo, which was divided between the owner of the vessel and the charterers, who were owners of the cargo.
Apprentices to the owners of the saving vessel, who are entitled to a portion of the salvage adjudged to those who were actively engaged in the saving, are entitled to the portions allowed to them, and the same does not belong to their master.
The right of the master to the earnings of his apprentice in the way of his business or of any other business which is substituted for it is different from a right to his extraordinary earnings, which do not interfere with the profits the master may derive from his services.
When a seaman had been left by the master of the vessel, which he, with all those who belonged to her, had abandoned as a wreck on the ocean, and the seaman assisted in bringing the wreck and cargo into a place of safety, where they were libeled for salvage, the Court allowed the seaman a portion of the amount adjudged to the salvors. The principles of policy which withhold from the mariners of a ship their wages on her being lost and which deny them salvage for saving their ship, however great the peril may be, do not apply to this case.
If we search for the motives for the very ample reward for services rendered at sea in saving property from peril, we shall find them in a liberal and enlarged policy. The allowance for such services (one very much exceeding the mere risk encountered and labor employed in effecting them) is intended as an inducement to render them, which it is for the public interests and for the general interests of humanity to hold forth to those who navigate the ocean. It is perhaps difficult on any other principle to account satisfactorily for the very great difference which is made between the retribution which is allowed for services at sea and on land; neither will a fair calculation of the real hazard or labor be a foundation for such a difference; nor will the benefit received always account for it.
The captain of the saving vessel, having embezzled a part of the property saved, forfeits all claim to salvage. If a wise and humane policy be among the essential principles which induce a continuance in the allowance of that liberal compensation which is made for saving a vessel at sea, we must at once perceive the ground on which it is refused to the person whose conduct ought to be punished instead of rewarded.
The salvage allowed to a slave who was one of the salvors was adjudged to his master, the master having agreed to manumit the slave and to pay him one-fifth of the sum allowed him as a salvor.
The French merchant ship The Blaireau, laden with sugar and coffee and bound from Martinique to Bordeaux on the night of 30 March, was run down by the Spanish sixty-four gun ship called the St. Julien, in latitude 35

Police have launched a scheme to help protect Hertsmere's historical sites, monuments and artefacts from crime.
Hertfordshire Constabulary has joined forces with English Heritage and Hertfordshire County Council as part of its new Heritage Watch programme.
The scheme has been introduced at sites and museums across the borough by Hertsmere Chief Inspector Dean Patient.
He has teamed up with the de Havilland Aircraft Museum at Salisbury Hall, near Shenley, to roll the project out in Hertsmere.
The force hopes to further protect the county's historical artefacts and heritage sites - such as the museum - by improving communication between people who live in the area.
Alan Brackley, chairman of the de Havilland Aircraft Museum, said: "De Havilland is the oldest aviation museum in the UK and is home to several de Havilland aircraft, including three Mosquitos - more than in other museum in the world.
"These aircraft and other artefacts in the museum are irreplaceable and a testament to the courage of the women and men who designed, built, flew and maintained them.
"As a result it is of the utmost importance that we all take responsibility for their safe keeping and why we are happy to support Heritage Watch and encourage people to join the scheme."

In a comment to a fellow MHRer's post earlier this week I preached patience and said that I thought the Broncos would sign all of the remaining rookies before the start of camp. With 9 players to sign - including 2 first-rounders and 3 second-rounders, and five days to do it, I am now in full panic mode. We had seven picks in the first 4 rounds - presumably guys who are to see the field this season (Moreno, Ayers, Phonso, McBath, Quinn, Bruton and Olsen - not to mention Brandstater and McKinley in the later rounds).
I mean, I assume we're in negotiations with them all but, dude, 5 days to sign 9 contracts? That is a lot of signage. I hope I'm freaking out for no reason. I hope X get everyone signed by the 26th so we're ready to go by the 27th but, I'm beginning to wonder whether that's going to happen. It's not unlikely at this point that we could have multiple holdouts, a fact I'm sure the players' agents are reminding the broncos of as we speak.
Anybody else worried?

Three ways to prepare and flourish in a mobile world.
It seems every year there is a proclamation that this will be the year for mobile marketing. Well, it's just not that simple. The fact is, mobile usage is growing steadily each and every year, accounting for a larger and larger percentage of how we communicate with others, interact with brands and marketing, and shop and purchase products and services. This steady growth is best represented in the studies that look at the compound annual growth rates across various metrics such as data usage, advertising, payments, and more. The truth is this is the decade for mobile as we make the steady transition from our desktops and laptops to spending the majority of our time on our smartphones and tablets. Don't believe it? Take a look at the facts:
So as marketers, what will it take to protect our customer relationships and, more importantly, flourish in a mobile world?
While we are still in the early stages of the decade of mobile madness, it's time to get focused - think about the mobile experience, collect, cookie, connect, and look to forge the critical partnerships and investments in technology that will properly position your brand for years to come.

Since the oil in the Gulf keeps spilling we need to think of more creative and innovative methods for 'bio-remediation'. Listen to what mycologist Paul Stamets has researched about mushrooms as petroleum absorbers in this TED Talk. By inoculating diesel-contaminated soil with oyster mushroom spores, he and scientists from Battelle Laboratories managed to cut the toxicity of the soil from 10,000 parts per million to less than 200, over a period of 16 weeks

Justices Take Up Battle Over Exxon Valdez
Justices Take Up Battle Over Exxon Valdez
The Exxon Valdez oil spill, which caused a 3,000-square-mile oil slick and still affects Alaska's fisheries after nearly 19 years, was a "tragedy," Exxon's lawyer told the Supreme Court on Wednesday. But the company has been punished enough by $3.4 billion in criminal fines, cleanup costs and compensation payments, the lawyer added, arguing that the $2.5 billion in punitive damages approved by a federal appeals court served no additional "public purpose." Exxon's appeal of the biggest punitive damage award ever upheld in federal court led to a lively Supreme Court argument in which everything was open to dispute, from the significance of a 200-year-old case about robbery on the high seas to the world of modern maritime commerce in which a 1,000-foot tanker like the Exxon Valdez is considered a separate "business unit" in the organization chart of its corporate owner.
These pricks, these record setting multi billion dollar quarterly profit oil pricks have managed to dodge the punitive damages against them all this time since 1989 when one of their drunk captains ran aground and caused one of the worst oil slick of all time, they argue that it wasn't their fault the captain was drunk and that there is no additional reason in forcing them to pay $2.5 Billion as it wouldn't be of any public purpose – perhaps Exxon don't understand the term Punitive Damages – they are awarded to reform or deter actions like this, and they are very high so you won't forget the lesson, that these maggots have managed to avoid paying their pound of flesh is just another blot on an industry as soaked in blood and injustice as they are in oil.

 by Erica Rex
I've been following, via Twitter, the trail of my colleague, David Biello, during his coverage of the Copenhagen conference for Scientific American, where he is Associate Editor for environment and energy.
Aside from his brief reports of climbing a wind turbine "climbing a wind turbine is grueling but pop the top and enjoy spectacular view (at least on Samso) better if they didn't sway though,†most of the reports I've been reading from Copenhagen are downright depressing.
A late-breaking story from Reuters reported that the Copenhagen climate talks will put more carbon into the atmosphere than any previous climate conference – equivalent to the carbon output of over one-half million Ethiopians. Ethiopa, however, and other members of the G77 delegation, disgusted enough with the profligacy of their fellow attendees from developed nations, protested by walking out of the conference today. There simply isn't enough pressure, they feel, being put on developed nations to reduce greenhouse gases.
The G77′s chief negotiator Lumumba Stanislaus Di-Aping, from Sudan told BBC Radio 4's World at One today: "We decided to stop and reflect on what is happening, because it had become clear that the Danish presidency – in the most undemocratic fashion – is advancing the interests of developed countries at the expense of the balance of obligations between developing and developed countries."
Asked whether he was simply wasting time, when what was most needed was an agreement between all nations, Mr. Di-Aping said:
"What we want is a process that is democratic, that allows us full participation, that ensures the safety and lives of the developing countries in Africa and small island states. We want a deal that will save the Kyoto Protocol and we want finance and mitigation targets, the commitment periods signed at this conference. If that doesn't happen, I am afraid we cannot accept the idea that we are going to create a new legal instrument."
He accused the European Union of pursuing a strategy of killing the Kyoto protocol, and of hiding behind US. Both the US and EU have refused to commit to ambitious targets commensurate to the risk they're asking from developing countries. Developing countries, said Mr. Di-Aping, have only two mandates: one is to mitigate the catastrophic situation they are facing; the second is to insure that developed countries address problems of underdevelopment and poverty eradication in the developing world.
Late this afternoon, the delegates from the G77 returned to the conference.
Bill McKibben, author of such notable books as Deep Economy and The End of Nature, and co-founder, 350.org, wrote, in a moving piece in The Huffington Post of attending a service at Copenhagen's main Lutheran Cathedral – where the Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, gave the sermon and Desmond Tutu read the Psalm. He had this to say about what is occurring in developing countries:
"People are dying already; people are sitting tonight in their small homes trying to figure out how they're going to make the maize meal they have stretch far enough to fill the tummies of the kids sitting there waiting for dinner. And that's with 390 parts per million CO2 in the atmosphere. The latest numbers from the computer jockeys at Climate Interactive – a collaboration of Sustainability Institute, Sloan School of Management at MIT, and Ventana Systems, is that if all the national plans now on the table were adopted the planet in 2100 would have an atmosphere with 770 parts per million CO2. What then for coral, for glaciers, for corn. I didn't do enough.â€
Ben Goldacre of The Guardian, has a pretty good assessment why everything humanly possible will never be enough.
The reason? The "zombie argument.â€
"Zombie arguments," he writes, "survive, immortal and resistant to all refutation, because they do not live or die by the normal standards of mortal arguments. There's a huge list of them at realclimate.org, with refutations. There are huge lists of them everywhere. It makes no difference.â€
I can't help wondering, on a daily basis, when human beings are going to decide to get real.

The best aspect of a research environment, in my opinion, is the abundance of bright people with whom you argue, discuss, and nurture your ideas. I thank all of the people at Penn and elsewhere who have given me the feedback that has helped me to separate the good ideas from the bad ideas. I hope that Ihave kept the good ideas in this thesis, and left the bad ideas out! Iwould like toacknowledge the following people for their contribution to my education: I thank my advisor Mitch Marcus, who gave me the intellectual freedom to pursue what I believed to be the best way to approach natural language processing, and also gave me direction when necessary. I also thank Mitch for many fascinating conversations, both personal and professional, over the last four years at Penn. I thank all of my thesis committee members: John La erty from Carnegie Mellon University, Aravind Joshi, Lyle Ungar, and Mark Liberman, for their extremely valuable suggestions and comments about my thesis research. I thank Mike Collins, Jason Eisner, and Dan Melamed, with whom I've had many stimulating and impromptu discussions in the LINC lab. Iowe them much gratitude for their valuable feedback onnumerous rough drafts of papers and thesis chapters.

Nokia Lumia 900 (LTE)
Reviewed by simbadogg (Currently owns)
Lumia 900 in cyan might be one of the more personalized phones I've ever owned. The color is something that really helps to distinguish it from the sea of black slabs that are out on the market. And that differentiation also makes itself inside to the OS with the customization of live tiles that you can do w/ the WP OS.
The camera quality, compared to other phones on the market like the (Samsung Galaxy S II/Samsung Focus S, iPhone4S, HTC One X) does leave a little to be desired, as images can be a little soft and tinted blue in many instances, but hopefully this is something that can be fixed with a firmware update.
The display, though lacking in terms of resolution, does leave the phone with incredibly blacks because of the AMOLED technology. And one of the things that I've been incredibly happy with is the outdoor readability because of the Clear Black technology.
LTE is no existent where I live, so data speeds are simply average when browsing on 3G, but because I have turned off the 4G LTE modem, battery life has been amazing because of the large 1800 mAh battery. So really, the ability to get through the day is more than a possibility and shows that you can really get all day battery life by simple OS optimization, rather than just stuffing an incredibly large extended battery into a phone like the Droid Razr MAXX
Though there are a lot of applications and games that I would love to have on the platform (Words with Friends, Draw Something, PayPal, official Pandora) I must say that the ecosystem for now is acceptable, but barely so. In just about every instance if you can't find the official app, there's a more than adequate 3rd party to fill the void (i.e. Metro Radio for Pandora), but still getting more big name apps should be a push that is made in the future. But with official apps from The Daily Beast/Newsweek, LinkedIn, and Time Magazine all coming online in the marketplace in the last week, and more apps like PayPal and Angry Birds Space slated for the coming months things are beginning to look brighter for Windows Phone.

Tears and anger from advocates and critics of pit bulls flowed during Riverside County supervisors' meetings and made for the number four spot in our Top 10 Inland political stories of 2013.
Following a series of fatal maulings blamed on pit bulls, supervisors asked county staff to come up with an ordinance to require the spaying or neutering of pit bulls in unincorporated areas. Animal control officials also wanted the ordinance to cope with what they said was an overflow of unwated, unadoptable pit bulls in county shelters.
Pit bull supporters said the ordinance was unfair and that the dogs are the victim of media sensationalism. Both sides made their case before the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the ordinance in October.
The Riverside City Council soon enacted its own sterilization ordinance and county officials hope more cities will follow suit.

I am looking forward to upcoming combine and wondered if you guys could answer some questions I have regarding it?
I have seen that Tim Tebow and Dan LeFevour have chosen not to throw at the combine. Is this something that will likely affect their draft stock or will their Pro Days be enough for them to show that they have the necessary abilities? With these guys not throwing and Clausen and Bradford both injured does this open the door for another QB to showcase his talent and improve his draft stock and if so who would say has the best chance to shine?
Which players do you think will benefit most from the combine and which players might lose out from the combine? I have seen many talk about Taylor Mays and would be interested to know how the combine may affect his position in the draft if he runs a fast 40 is this just expected and he stays as he is or does it shoot him up the boards? and if he doesn't run a quick 40 does he slide big time?
With regards to the Broncos are there any guys that they will be keeping their eyes close on and looking for a big showing? and are there any potential targets that, with a great performance, could either put themselves out of the Broncos reach at 10/11 or make it a good value pick at 10/11?

LAS VEGAS — JaVon McGee scored 14 of his game-high 25 points as Pittsburg State rushed out to a big lead then held off a second-half charge by Arkansas-Fort Smith to claim an 84-76 victory in the Las Vegas Challenge at Orleans Arena Tuesday (Dec. 18).
The Lions (5-4) scored the game's first basket 19 seconds into the game, but UAFS never lead again. The Gorillas (8-1) scored the next nine points and eventually worked their way into a 21-point margin, 51-30, at halftime.
Pitt State stretched it leads to as many as 22 points in the second half, before the Lions made a late push in the game's final four minutes. UAFS drew as close as six points, at 74-68, on Djordje Stojanovic's layup with 1:52 to play in the game, but Pitt State converted five of six free throws and McGee added a three-point play to seal the win.
McGee coverted 10 of 14 shots from the field to help Pitt State shoot 47.1 percent (32 of 68) from the floor. Porter knocked down seven of seven free throw attempts to offset a five for 14 shooting night. As a team, the Gorillas converted 15 of 16 free throws in the game.
Marky Nolen chipped in with 11 points in a reserve role for Pitt State, while A.J. Adams reached double figures with 10 points. Rico Pierrevilus contributed a game-high 10 rebounds to go along with five points.
The Lions shot just 39.7 percent from the field (27 of 68) but UAFS benefited from 15 offensive rebounds. Jake Toupal paced the Lions with 24 points, while Stojanovic added 14 points. Corey Copeland and Xavier McClish finished with 10 apiece.
Pitt State will close out the Las Vegas Challenge action by facing Dixie State Wednesday (Dec. 19) at 8:30 p.m. (CST). The Red Storm face MIAA foe Central Missouri in Tuesday's late game.

Make sure you build the libdispatch RPM last, after all of the other RPMs have been built and installed.
Two of the unit tests ran very slowly on my AWS virtual machine and I killed them before they completed. This may or may not be a problem, and I would be interested to hear any feedback on whether the test suite runs.

Temporary ACA Route Road Closures / IHSMBR - Willow Creek Singletrack Option« on: August 20, 2014, 01:03:00 pm »
The Boise National Forest had significant intense rain in early August and many roads and trails are a "mess" with debris flows, deep washouts, and logs/rocks across roads and trails. In some cases rain fell at 1 inch/hour, with some of it falling on recently burned and minimally vegetated land – the mountains moved!
Mountain bike riders should check with the Boise NF web page for the latest on official road closures, which currently number seven.
From Atlanta, Forest Road 207 along Flint Creek is closed to the Flint Trail trailhead.

PLATTSBURGH - Job-seekers have a new resource in the area.
The Community Computer and Employment Resource Center officially opened in the Plattsburgh Public Library Oct. 13. Library board members and staff joined elected officials and representatives of the North Country Regional Workforce Investment Board, the organization which the library partnered with in establishing the center, for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting to mark the occasion.
Janelle Shepard, director of the center, said the center will offer important tools people will need in their search for employment.
"We'll be hosting workshops for resum writing, how to use the Internet to job search and even how to turn on a computer," said Shepard.
The goal of the center is to stimulate employment and connect people with job opportunities in and around the region. The center was established through a $244,517 federal economic stimulus grant received by the Plattsburgh Public Library earlier this year. The library was selected as one of 30 public libraries in upstate New York with higher poverty and unemployment to receive the two-year grant.
The grant, explained Shepard, was used to purchase computers, desks and supplies as well as provide high-speed Internet service for the center. The location - in a section of the library which formerly housed periodicals and books on tape - made sense because of the volume of traffic seen by the library, said Shepard.
"We spoke to library staff and found there are people coming in here, looking for employment on computers," said Shepard. "So, [the center] is very important to have with the high unemployment rate and just another resource we can offer in the community."
Mary Linda Todd, a library development specialist in the Division of Library Development at the New York State Library, said the center will be critical connector between job-seekers and places of employment. Making that connection will help the North Country's share of the estimated 800,000 people out of work in New York State alone, according to a report Todd said she had heard on National Public Radio.

I found a couple of SIS files in the sdk which actually install both jar on the phone!Originally Posted by bpitk
Don't you know Symbian's redirect application?"PRINT" function need to run on console.
If you try to run it as standalone app.,"PRINT" function will do nothing,try using TextArea&TextArea method.
I think I already tried this combination of parameters with no luck. Anyway I'll check again.on PC
"java -cp .\myApp.jar;C:\jython\jython.jar -Dpython.home=C:\jython myApp"
is equivalent to this on Phone.
"-cp myApp.jar;D:\jython -Dpython.home=D:\jython myApp"
In our Jython on phone,we Extract jython.jar in D:\jython(to make it faster),so "-cp"(on phone) should be add "D:\jython".
But I got weird errors during last "test session": it looks like 1.1.8 version of javac is not able to compile .java files generated by jythonc with 1.4 version of JDK! And 1.1.8 JVM can't run .class files generated by jythonc (wrong version, 46 rather than 45, if I remember correctly).
This sounds really weird, as we know that jython IS working on Personal Java environment!
Let me understand: every time I launch my .py script using jRun on the phone, the script is compiled before, and then executed? i.e. , it is compiled on the phone? Maybe I could search somewhere corresponding compiled .class files and package them into a .jar, so I'll be sure they are the right files?

Known since Middle Ages for quality of local products, especially venison, olive oil and wine, Mugello is synonymous of good food.
Among the typical dishes of this part of Tuscany, the most famous is the potato Tortello: every year thousands of people arriving in Mugello, especially during summer, to participate in the festivals dedicated to this dish.
As explained by Roberto Zanieri, alias Jerry, chef of Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, Tortello is actually a dish born in theTuscan-Emilian Apennines and from there came to Mugello over a century ago.
"The ingredients that are used for potatoes tortello are simple: flour and eggs for homemade pasta, white potatoes Alto Mugello, garlic, parsley and nutmeg for the filling, "I add also a sharpened tip of tomato - says Jerry - It is actually a plate of so-called simple cooking, which everyone could afford and that will quickly spread".
To characterize the Tortello of Mugello, from the classic square shape, is that the filling just made with white potatoes. Also not everyone knows that if the ingredients are so simple, each zone has a variation that makes this dish unique and worthy of be sampled.
"The typical sauce for potatoes Tortelli is meat sauce, duck sauce or mushroom sauce - adds Jerry - especially mushrooms and duck are widely used as a summer condiment".
The collection period of the white potato is from July to September and in these months the most popular dish is the Tortello, thanks to the numerous festivals around the Mugello.
And if you are followers of vegan cuisine, Jerry has some advice for you: "You can replace the eggs with wheat bran and season with tomatoes or mushrooms: in this way you can also enjoy this fantastic dish of Mugello, "says the chef.
If you are curious to taste the potato Tortelli, you come and visit our restaurant L'Olivaia.

The ink has just started to dry on the Rams new blockbuster deal with the Washington Redskins. Now the question is, what the rams should do with the 6th overall pick. Matt Kalil is certainly out of the question, giving the Rams a choice of Justin Blackmon WR, Morris Claiborne CB and Reilly Reiff OT. Now I'm going to give you a breakdown on each player( using my very limited knowledge of college football, please give me any corrections in the comments) from my perspective.
Justin Blackmon WR Oklahoma State
He is considered the best prospect in this draft, at the WR position. However hes not considered as good as the top two receivers of last years draft, and therefore some people think he shouldn't be taken in the top ten. On my analysis, I think that Blackmon deserves to be in the top ten, and has a great chance to become a star in this league. His route running, while slightly rough around the edges, is very good for a college prospect.to me he seems to be a natural route runner, as he can feint the CB and make his cuts quite well. He seems some what like Brandon Llyod, who can also feint and cut really well. His speed and size is what many people seem to doubt and to that I say nonsense! Yes he might be slightly under ideal height and may not run the fastest 40, but his game speed and leaping ability is amazing. Very rarely do you see him get caught from behind. Isaac Bruce was not very tall or that fast, but he turned out pretty well. So did Torry Holt. Why Justin Blackmon is a lot like Holt, his hands may not be as stellar, but his game speed and leaping ability ans size are quite similar. Also while he comes from a very offense minded team, his Stats are just amazing. This guy can produce.
Morris Claiborne
Claiborne is the best Corner back prospect in the NFL draft. Some would say the best prospect after Luck and RG3. He hails from LSU lock down defense, considered the best in the nation. Claiborne is an elite prospect who can shutdown one side of the field. Many consider him better then last years top cornerback prospect( and former teammate) Patrick Peterson. After witnessing Rams cornerbacks falling like flies last year, and the unknown about the Rams two starting cornerbacks, Ron "Broken Neck" Bartell and Bradley "I hurt the same knee 3 times" Fletcher, it makes sense to get a good CB, who can also be a notch above both our starting cornerbacks. Personally, I think getting Claiborne, as good as he is, over Blackmon is crazy, because the Rams, even though were devastated at the cornerback position and had an awful run defense, their pass coverage wasn't so bad. They unearthed some gems like Gordy, and have solid depth at the CB spot. Next year however, depending on how what happens to the Rams cornerbacks, they may need to find a project player to develop, to replace Bartell.
Reilly Reiff
To me, I see LT as being one of the most important positions in football. They protect the blind side of a right handed QB, and therefore, has to be perfect in pass-protection to succeed. I am a big supporter of Matt Kalil, but he wont be available here. Reily Reiff the second best option at the LT section isn't very far off. However, while his run-blocking isn't bad, his pass-protection is nowhere near Kalil's level, and the most important skill for a LT is pass protection. His ideal position would be RT, which requires some more run-blocking. If we drafted him, it would be drafting a RT at no.6, not a very good idea.
Upon thinking about it, I have to say that IF, and thats a big if, IF all three players are there, then I would choose..... Blackmon. The Rams desperately need a wide receiver, and Blackmon isn't very bad. However, the Browns may scoop him up at no.4, so my second pick would be....... Claiborne. He's an elite talent, and would have been my first choice if not for the fact that he does not fill a major need, while Blackmons does. As you probably understood, Reiff is my last choice and thats because he isn't a great option at LT, definitely at no 6. Rodger Saffold would probably be better at LT, so we aren't upgrading the position. We can always get a good RT in free agency or later rounds of the draft.
Thanks for reading, this is a really long post, about 700+ words. What about Trent Richardson? Well, I'll (hopefully) be doing a post on him later, which also compares him to next years and this years running backs.

Title of Talk: "Lessons Learned from the Boston Marathon Bombing".
Superintendent-in-Chief Linskey began his career with the Boston Police Department on November 24, 1986. He graduated at the top of his class earning the prestigious Hogan Award for academic excellence.
Chief Linskey rose through the ranks as a Detective, Sergeant, Sergeant Detective, Lieutenant and Lieutenant Detective Deputy Superintendent, and Superintendent. He spent a large portion of his career in the Drug Control Unit serving at different ranks. He was assigned to the Police Academy as a Criminal Law and Drill Instructor. He served on and oversaw the Dignitary Protection Security Unit, along with Commanding the Special Police Division overseeing the Boston Municipal Police Department. When his Marine Corps Reserve Unit was activated for Operation Desert Storm/Shield he served six months on active duty.
In May 2006 he was promoted to Deputy Superintendent by acting Police Commissioner Al Goslin and appointed as his Chief of Staff where he acted as a liaison between the Boston Police Bureau Chiefs, City Departments, assorted community groups and the Commissioner. As Chief of Staff he was an advisor to the Police Commissioner on policy and staffing issues and oversaw the daily operation of all units assigned to the Office of the Police Commissioner.
In December 2006 Commissioner Edward Davis was sworn in and asked Linskey to maintain the same duties in the newly organized Commissioner's Office as his First Assistant. He oversaw the new Commissioner's transition process and assisted in helping get several new initiatives implemented such as Compstat, a process which helped increase accountability.
On July 18, 2007 Linskey was promoted to the rank of Superintendent and assigned to oversee the Bureau of Field Service, in charge of all uniformed officers with a responsibility for the implementation of Community Policing and the delivery of effective and efficient police services to the community as well as the responsibility for delivering tactical police services and joint Bureau Operations.
On September 1, 2009 Linskey was appointed Superintendent-in-Chief, the highest ranking uniform officer in the Department. Chief Linskey is responsible for overseeing the day to day operation of the entire department and reports directly to the Commissioner.
Chief Linskey has garnered a national reputation as a special event planner and critical incident commander. He has helped plan and implement the Boston Police Department's response to the Democratic National Convention, 7 World Championship sporting events (including the Red Sox 2007 World series, 2 Celtic's NBA Championship series, 2 New England Patriots Super Bowls and the Boston Bruins Stanley Cup series). The Chief has helped plan and implement the Boston Marathon response plan from 2008 to the present. He was the Incident Commander at the 2013 Boston Marathon and implemented the response to the bombing attacks. He, along with Police Commissioner Edward Davis oversaw the investigation of the terror attack on the Marathon. Chief Linskey was one of the first commanders on scene on April 19th and oversaw the arrest and capture of the terrorists after a fierce gun battle which included bombs being thrown at officers, an unprecedented shutdown of the city and one of the largest and most challenging tactical responses in the history of civilian law enforcement.
Chief Linskey is the Jurisdictional Point of Contact for the Boston Urban Area Security Initiative overseeing the funding and implementation of the Boston Region's homeland security initiatives. As such he was instrumental in bringing the Urban Shield training exercise to Boston and was the Executive Committee Chairmen who oversaw the planning and implementation of the exercise. This exercise was the largest multi-disciplinary, multi-jurisdictional full scale exercise in the region culminating with a consolidated event that simulated the terrorist attacks on Mumbai, India. Many of the lessons learned from that training were instrumental in the Marathon bombing response.

The post position draw for Saturday's 2012 Preakness is in the books and it's time for the handicapping to begin. Unlike the Kentucky Derby, the draw for the Preakness tends to have less of an impact on the ultimate outcome of the race. While there is always the possibility of trouble leaving the starting gate, a bad break is compounded in the Derby with twenty horses all fighting for position. In the Preakness, that problem is not as severe.
While the Preakness draw might not be as critical as the Derby, there is still a tactical advantage for some horses depending on which post position they end up with. The connections of Derby winner I'll Have Another (post 9) have to be extremely pleased with his draw, not in regards to a specific number, but because he drew outside of Bodemeister. By breaking outside of Bodemeister (post 7), I'll Have Another will be able to track his rival from the very second the gate open which increases his opportunity to secure a perfect stalking trip around the track. I have no doubt that all trainer Doug O'Neill wanted from the draw was to be to the outside of the Bob Baffert horse.
On paper, Bodemeister looks like the clear lone speed horse in the Preakness field. As a result, his post position is pretty much irrelevant. Jockey Mike Smith's primary concern on Saturday will be breaking from the gate cleanly and allowing Bodemeister to settle into a good rhythm as quickly as possible.Given the tactics that Smith is likely to use with his mount, the post position is almost completely irrelevant.
Four of the new shooters running in the Preakness drew into post positions one through four (1-Tiger Walk, 2-Teeth of the Dog, 3-Pretension and 4-Zetterholm). While the connections of all four of those colts probably preferred a wider draw, none of those posts are a complete bar to victory.
One thing that the Preakness and the Derby draws have in common is the low impact of wide post positions on a horse's ability to win. Unlike races at a mile where the starting gate is much closer to the first turn, the Preakness and Derby starting gates are positioned near the top of the stretch which give horses breaking from the outside posts plenty of time to tuck in prior to heading into the first turn. With an 11-horse field and a starting gate almost a quarter mile from the first turn, a horse has plenty of opportunities to avoid a wide trip.
For horse racing fans, every year hope springs that this will finally be the year that the Triple Crown drought comes to an end. That dream either stays alive or is crushed on the rocks on the third Saturday in May at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore. I'll Have Another should have every opportunity to run a big race in the Preakness and take the second step towards a place in history.

Four fire crews tackle blaze at Bradford laundry
Updated 10:19am Sunday 16th February 2014 in News By Chris Tate, Aire/Worth Valley Reporter
A blaze in a Bradford laundry was tackled early today by four fire crews using breathing apparatus to protect them from toxic chemical fumes.
Fairweather Green led the fightfighting at the modern industrial unit near Legrams Terrace, Listerhills, and were joined by two crews from Bradford and one from Odsal.
"We were called to a commercial linen laundry on Field Head Business Park at about 3am and had to break in," said Andy Collis, Watch Commander at Fairweather Green.
"The building was heavily smoke-logged and there were chemicals used by the laundry which cleans linen for hotels and restaurants.
"Six sets of breathing apparatus were used and two hoses to put out the fire which was under control in ten minutes.
"We then used fans to force out the smoke and ventilate the building and those either side."

Spencer, Dufresne partner
November 8, 2012-- Furniture Today,
Jim Spencer, left, and Jeff Edgeworth, The Spencer Group, Saltillo, Miss.; Mark Dufresne, The Dufresne Group, Winnipeg, Manitoba; and Chad Spencer, The Spencer Group. The newly formed Dufresne Spencer Group replaces the Spencer Group name.
It's also expected to give the Top 100 Spencer Group unidentified expansion options in Canada, according to the companies.
The two formed Dufresne Spencer Group, which replaces The Spencer Group name. It will continue to be led by Spencer's key executives, said Chad Spencer, president of the newly minted DSG.
Through the arrangement, Dufresne has acquired an equity interest in Spencer, although the terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Saltillo, Miss.-based Spencer is No. 61 on Furniture/Today's latest Top 100 with estimated 2011 sales of $91 million. It has since opened two additional locations for a total of 11 Ashley Furniture HomeStores, two HomeStore outlets and two Stash home furnishings stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas, and expects sales of about $98 million this year.
Dufrense operates 12 Ashley Furniture HomeStores in western Canada, 11 Dufresne Furniture & Appliance stores in Manitoba and Ontario, and the 93-store Dufresne Retail Solution Group buying group.
Chad Spencer said the two companies have worked together for the past five years through a retail performance group. But now, instead of meeting two or three times a year to discuss operations and best practices, they will be able to "create a new dynamic," sharing resources and talent.
"This is about the power of two great companies combining their resources, people and strategies," Spencer said. "This partnership will provide great opportunities for our people, our partners and ultimately, our guests."
The Dufresne Group and the new Dufresne Spencer Group will maintain separate management structures and operations "with an advisory role connecting the two," according to a release.
"Both TDG and the newly formed DSG are focused on growth opportunities on either side of the border," the companies said. Chad Spender added that DSG is looking to expand both its HomeStores operation and the multi-line, value-oriented middle to upper-end Stash business, but he declined to elaborate.
"Partnering with the Spencers is a great introduction to expanding The Dufresne Group into the USA and we thank the Spencers for welcoming us as partners," Dufresne Group CEO Mark Dufresne said.
Historically, Canadian furniture retailers have not fared well when crossing in to the U.S. market. However, Dufresne said he believes TDG will do better because it isn't taking control of the Spencer organization, but rather partnering with an already successful and dynamic retailer much like itself.
Jim Spencer, CEO of the Dufresne Spencer Group - and former CEO of the Spencer Group - added that he welcomed Dufresne "as our colleagues, our friends and now our partners. I can't wait to see what the future will bring for DSG."

Last week I saw a baseball game in Brooklyn, where the Cyclones play in my all-time favorite minor-league ballpark. You can stroll along the Coney Island boardwark, take in a New York-Penn League contest, and then finish your evening with a "ride" on one of the world's oldest and scariest and painfulest roller coasters. Is this Brooklyn? No, it's heaven.
The game I saw featured Mahoning Valley Scrappers catcher Sicnarf Loopstok.
Top 5 Sicnarf Loopstok Nicknames
1. Loopy
2. Sicky
3. Stocky
4. Narfy
5. Sneezy
Other things I have learned ...
Sneezy's Scrappers play in the six-team Pinckney Division of the New York-Penn League. There are also two four-team divisions; the Cyclones play in the McNamara Division, and there's also the Stedler Division. Who were Pinckney, McNamara, and Stedler? They were all heroes of the oft-forgotten 1836 Appalachian Conflict, which pitted the Empire-Keystone Militia against a coalition of invading troops and irregulars from Minnesota and Michigan (Upper Peninsula).

The first round of the 2012 Tour Championship is officially in the books, and favorites Tiger Woods and Justin Rose each managed to take hold of the 18-hole lead on Thursday after firing rounds of 66.
Woods began his day with birdies on two of his first three holes before bogeying the par-4 fifth, but closed strong with a pair of birdies on holes No. 15 and 16. The 32-year-old Rose got off to a slow start with bogeys on two of his first seven, although picked himself up nicely down the stretch with five birdies over his last 11 holes.
Despite the strong play of Woods and Rose on Thursday, as many as 12 players currently sit under par and within three strokes of the lead. Among the notable names in the middle of the pack all hoping for a bounce-back day on Friday are Phil Mickelson, Rory McIlroy, Bubba Watson and Dustin Johnson, who are each currently 1-under par heading into the second round.
