Newburyport Daily News
---- — To the editor:
As Community Service of Newburyport begins its 101st year of attending to the needs of low-income families and individuals in our community, we would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the help we receive from the different groups and organizations in the area that help us to continue our mission. Community Service of Newburyport is a private, nonprofit organization that receives no government funding, so over the years we have come to realize just how true the statement, "It takes a village," truly is. Without the help and support of so many over the years, Community Service would have closed its doors decades ago.
Community Service has a food pantry that is supported by many diverse groups. Each month a different area church collects food from their parishioners and delivers it to our office. These churches that participate yearly are: First Religious Society, Unitarian Universalist, Central Congregational Church, Belleville Congregational Church, Old South Church, First Parish Church of Newbury, People's United Methodist Church, First Church of Christ, and Immaculate Conception Church. The Immaculate Conception School collects food throughout the school year with each grade being given a month to be in charge of the collection. The eighth-graders deliver the food to our office. Leeward Industries, also known as Leeward Light Thrift Shop in Salisbury, has contributed thousands of dollars in support of our pantry since its opening in 2009. Pennies For Poverty helps us several ways. They hold a food drive at Shaw's Supermarket twice a year and we are given some of the food they collect, and we have been the recipient of money and gift cards bought with the money from the many penny jars around town. Other groups who have collected food for us over the past few years include: the Post Office Letter Carriers, Molin Upper Elementary School, Newbury Council on Aging, River Valley Charter School, Flukes & Finds & Friends, Charity Girls of the North Shore, Newburyport High School students and the Institution For Savings. With all of this support our pantry remains stocked with a large variety of healthy and nutritious food for the families we serve.
In late August of each year, the Daughters of Isabella and the Immaculate Conception Church parishioners gather together hundreds of packages of new underwear and socks for the children who are returning to school. Our clients look forward to this every year and are greatly appreciative of the hard work and lovely creations.
At Christmas time we have a Red Stocking Program that could not exist without all of the wonderful organizations and individuals that sign up to provide gifts for the children of our clients. You know who you are and we cannot thank you enough for all you do. You truly know how to make the spirit of Christmas come alive in our office and in the homes of the people we serve. We also team up with a wonderful organization called Christmas Tree Santas, which provide beautiful live Christmas trees to our clients for free.
Many individuals keep our clothing racks well-stocked with gently used, stylish clothes that is given away for free. Again you know who you are, and we can't thank you enough for taking the time to bring this clothing that is "new" to them. It is often the highlight of their day and they are thrilled to be able to provide good quality clothing to their families without having to spend a dime. We are also grateful to the organizations that have held clothing drives for us: Children's Castle, The Newburyport Bank and Immaculate Conception School.
There are several individuals who go above and beyond in supporting our organization. For all they have done for us over the past few years, we would like to give special recognition to Steve Stronge and his late wife Regina, L. Jane O'Brien, Barbara Roche, Betsy and Al Wencl, Kitty Pearson, Sue and Jim Noyes, Betty Abby Stearns, Ghlee Woodworth, Duncan MacBurnie, Linda and Will Buddenhagen, Jean Perkins, James Shanley, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Attenborough and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Walsh.
We must give a special tribute to our late president, Lorraine Leary, who helped our organization in innumerable ways. She is sadly missed by all who knew her.
Last and certainly not least, the board and staff of Community Service of Newburyport would like to acknowledge the organizations that have made substantial monetary donations to us over the past few years. They are: Leeward Industries, Newburyport Area Industrial Development (NAID), Institute for Savings Charitable Society, Newburyport Odd Fellows, Grog Chili-Fest, Pennies for Poverty and all of the area churches who have done special collections for us: Belleville Congregational Church, Central Congregational Church, Old South Church, People's United Methodist Church and First Religious Society. We wish to also thank all of the individuals who send us donations throughout the year.
The city of Newburyport and the surrounding towns are filled with kind, thoughtful, giving people who have contributed to the longevity of Community Service of Newburyport's ability to provide assistance to the less fortunate. Indeed it takes a village. Thank you all for what you do.
Betty Leary and Martha Arias
Community Service of Newburyport, Inc.

BRADLEY COUNTY, TN (WRCB) - A Bradley County battalion chief is under fire after claims he's sexually harassed female employees.
We've been contacted by multiple former and current Bradley County employees who claim Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Don Tankersley made sexual advances toward women on the job. None wanted to be identified, but say it has to stop and want their side to be heard.
One of those accusers claims Battalion Chief Don Tankersley texted her pictures of his genitals.
"He did it on his company phone while on the clock. The picture is waist down, but you can still see his uniform," she said. She said he repeatedly asked for "sexts" in return, but never got them.
One accuser says Tankersley offered to undress and change her into her uniform.
When Channel 3 confronted Tankersley, he did not confirm or deny the allegations. Instead, he directed us to Interim Chief Troy Spence. Chief Spence directed us to Human Resources and the county attorney, who was out of the office Friday and hasn't returned our calls. Human Resources said it's against their policy to comment on if an investigation is going on.
At least one accuser says she's filed a sexual harassment complaint with the Human Resources Department, but hasn't heard anything back. She has an attorney and is working on a civil case, saying "Bradley County has a big rug and a big broom"."
Two others told us they quit because of similar claims going unacknowledged on more than one occasion.
Don Tankersley was promoted from Station 10 Lieutenant to Battalion Chief in recent months. We know he is not on suspension.
We also tried reaching out to the Bradley County Mayor, but he was also out of the office Friday and our calls have not been returned.
We'll continue to follow this developing story.

The nation has experienced 7 percent job growth in the solar industry during the past year. California in particular has the most solar jobs out of any other state, with 25,575 employed in the industry. Nationwide solar energy has led to 100,000 jobs. These stats come from a new study by The Solar Foundation, a nonprofit education and research organization. The report would appear to show that the clean-tech industry is doing quite well, which may counter the bad coverage from the Solyndra fiasco (the company went belly up after a half-billion dollar federal loan guarantee). The LA Times reports:
"Nationally, employment in all parts of the solar industry, including manufacturing, installation, residential, commercial and large-scale power generation, grew 6.8% in the 12 month period ended in August. Overall U.S. job growth was less than 1% for the same period, the census said. Growth is expected to accelerate 24%, creating 24,000 jobs, over the next year, based on a survey of solar employers."
Andrea Luecke, executive director of The Solar Foundation, commented that "Employers are slightly less optimistic than they were last year. But they feel that if the market conditions and the policy conditions are in place, they will have the need and the desire to grow (the workforce) by 24 percent in the next year."
A list of states with the most solar jobs is below:
1. California 25,575
2. Colorado 6,186
3. Arizona 4,786
4. Pennsylvania 4,703
5. New York 4,279
6. Florida 4,224
7. Texas 3,346
7. Oregon 3,346
8. New Jersey 2,871
9. Massachusetts 2,395

Proceedings, 2000
The performance of the U.S. economy over the past several years has been remarkable, including a rebound in labor productivity growth after nearly a quarter century of sluggish gains. To assess the role of information technology in the recent rebound, this paper re-examines the growth contribution of computers and related inputs with the same neoclassical framework that we have used in earlier work. ; Our results indicate that the contribution to productivity growth from the use of information technology - including computer hardware, software, and communication equipment - surged in the second half of the 1990s. In addition, technological advance in the production of computers appears to have contributed importantly to the speed-up in productivity growth. All in all, we estimate that the use of information technology and the production of computers accounted for about two-thirds of the 1 percentage point step-up in productivity growth between the first and second halves of the decade. Thus, to answer the question posed in the title of this paper, information technology largely is the story.

Officials in Mayes County are reporting possible tornado damage near Spavinaw.
John Janzen, with Mayes County Emergency Management, says there are several trees down and damaged homes near the center of town.
The school superintendent said the storm damaged the school building and classes are canceled for Thursday and Friday.
One mobile home was lifted and landed on top of another mobile home.
About 20 to 30 people are being housed in a temporary shelter because their homes were damaged by what appears to have been a tornado, Janzen said.
Initial reports indicated there were several injures near Spavinaw, but Janzen says there was only one minor injury.
Most of the town is without power.

Yes, like a small child on a long car journey I am
desperately in need of a bathroom getting frustrated and bored and I am bouncing around on the back seat of the car demanding we be there already. 'Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet? Are we nearly there yet?
Yay! The draft! Its a few hours away! I love the fact the draft is here, not because I am like a child at Xmas (Draftmas apparently) eagerly wanting to tear at the wrapping paper and being delighted with my awesome Patrick Willis, my unsure what to make of it Aldon Smith (subsequently delighted) or my frankly terrifying and disappointing Kentwan Balmer (props to Steve Busichio for digging up THAT pic in his worst of the worst article). No, I am delighted the draft is here because it means the run up to the draft is over.
At this point I have to say a huge thanks to every member of the Niners Nation community who created a mock draft, tried to order out who the Niners would take at every pick and every subsequent comment related to these posts. I don't watch College Football, oh I am sure I could get to watch some if I was desperate to in the UK but frankly I don't have the time, What with all the warm beer (never) I have to drink, heavy food (occasionally) I have to eat and all the other British stereotypes I have to adhere to (constantly).
So when people take the time to talk about these players I genuinely benefit a great deal, I know who players are, who's good or bad at whatever and why I should or should not hope for their appearance in a Niners shirt. But I have to say honestly the whole mock draft thing frustrates me. Sure we all see a team's need, we all see the players that fit, but the minute the draft starts the GM's will be on the phone discussing trades and everything goes out the window. That's not to add in the fact that players can be awesome at the end of the college season, the whole per-draft combine, conversations can go ahead, that player drops off the face of the earth, only for a team to then pick him early and confound everyone OR they select Kentwan Balmer (uuurrghhh can't get that image out of my head). Experts produce a new mock seemingly everyday and it changes constantly and I am sat here like some hideous crack whore constantly clicking links to get the latest updates.
The pain, the agony, and then it gets compounded with the who's tweeting news early vs watching the TV feed buzz. My twitter feed rains Tre Niner's tweets (that happens occasionally but I think he's a great, if a little mental at times, follow), other people tweet and I am sat at my desk at work and I am sure my colleagues are wondering why I look like the kid who ate too much candy at the party and is being told to sit still. Sort of wild eyed not really focusing on anything and looking for my next sugar fix.
I am not sure I know enough about the intricacies of player evaluation in relation to the draft, beyond the fact it is a crazy train and I wish some non US sports had it. Because frankly if Coventry City had, had the opportunity to draft Steven Gerrard (Drew Brees ish) rather than signing the succession of rubbish they did, they might not have ended up in the third tier of English football having plummeted from the Premier League (soooo many Chilo Rachal's out there). I digress though, apologies.
No, I have to say I love the draft, the idea of it, the system, hell I am addicted to the build up from the stand point of no college knowledge. Yes I will hungrily gather up all the post draft stupidity of grades too. Though like Homer Simpson in the episode where that Hog Roast is freed?? by Lisa and it ends up flying through the air hitting various things and Homer is chasing it going 'it's still good. it's still good' - A.J. Jenkins; I still believe!
I am glad we are there, I thank all of you for the information I have received, I hope the Niners draft Interior guys DL/DE early, not sure who but I'd prefer that, you know, just FYI. I might even fall asleep during the draft, I have been subtly adjusting my sleep patterns I am just not sure it has been working (probably wouldn't look at Twitter anyways - oh and UK fans in the unlikely circumstances you haven't heard Gamepass is free on draft weekend so you can watch).
Going mental on the backseat of the car as I gaze out of the window pointing at Radio City Music Hall!
Enjoyed the journey here with you, might just have a nap...or check out just the one more mock draft

The Weeknd – The Zone (VIDEO) Live in London, Ontario
The Weeknd is the most slept on artist around. He is secretly creeping up on the R & B industry, quick. The Weeknd was in Ontario, London recently and decided to grace the stage at a tent party. He doesn't make many appearances so to catch him live is definitely a treat. He performed "The Zone" which talks about letting him "get in his zone." while he prepares to "give you what you called for." "The Zone", comes from his recently released mixtape project, House of Balloons.
The soulful crooner knows how to carry a note and does it well. His mixtape is chock full of R & B goodness. He even enlists the help of fellow Canadian artist Drake on "The Zone" but he was not available for the live performance. Weeknd released a new track "Initiation" on Saturday to Tumblr. Dope track equipped with played with vocals and deep lyrics. Keep up with Weeknd and check out this impromptu live performance…

Anybody have a spare one for sale?
Re: H belt pulley
I don't have one for sale, but you might check with JP Tractor Salvage, one of the suppliers at the bottom of the screen. Call them, do not depend on email, theirs is not dependable. Are you looking for the fiber one or the steel one?

Jolted awake in the middle of the night!
By Adie

Comments about Hunter 23849, Low Profile Plus Provencal Gold Flush Mount 42" Ceiling Fan with Light:
If you're looking for a bedroom fan, don't even think about Hunter. I bought the 52" model fan six months ago and only used it for a couple of months before turning it off for the winter. But spring is humid on the Gulf Coast so started using it again at night for sleeping. I always sleep with a ceiling fan on in warm months and use the chain to turn the light on and off. I live in the country so power outages -- usually just for a minute or two -- are not uncommon. They were never a problem until I had the Hunter fan installed. Unbeknownst to me, when there's a power outage with a Hunter fan that has a light fixture, the lights are wired to come on once power is restored. It doesn't matter if it's 10 o'clock in the morning, 3 o'clock in the afternoon or 2 o'clock in the morning. If there's a power outage, when power is restored, the lights on the fan will come on -- even though you only have the fan running with no lights! Imagine my joy of learning this at 2 a.m. when my electricity flashed on an off three times within an hour -- each time jolting me awake when the lights suddenly turned on. Finally I gave up on going back to sleep. Somewhere a village is missing its idiot. So I can either unscrew the light bulbs during the summer to use the fan only and have no overhead lighting -- or get a new fan that isn't wired idiotically.I wish I had been forewarned before purchasing this that Hunter fans are designed by incompetents -- but at least you won't have to make the same mistake as I did. ANYTHING BUT HUNTER.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Tuesday, Oct 4, 2011 5:05PM
[With rap stars like DMX and Coolio having previously shown interest in getting involved with Mixed Martial Arts, retired MMA fighter-turned-actor Randy Couture speaks on the sport's growing popularity.]
I think MMA is a great form of fitness first of all. I've got a gym full of guys that never really want to get punched in the face, but they just want to use mixed martial arts as a form of working out, learning some skills and getting and staying in shape.
I think once you've been in the gym setting and have learned the technique and done some of the training, it's a natural progression to want to test yourself by putting yourself out there and being in the heat of it. I think that's why those guys go out and seek training.
Everybody asks those questions like, "What would I do in that situation?" and "How would I respond under that kind of pressure?" and it kind of goes back to being little kids and wondering what it would be like [to be] in a war. You run around with sticks and pretend to be shooting a gun, responding like you would if somebody was really shooting at you. It's kind of that same thing. I think it's pretty normal for a lot of guys to want to do some fighting and wanting to get out there and compete.Mixed martial arts appeals to so many people because it is so visual and real. Each and every fight is unlike most of the boxing matches or even some of the pro wrestling matches where it's more about the main event. Each and every MMA fight is exciting. The guys really put it on the line for each and every fight. I think it does capture people's attention and that's why they like it.
And I don't think [participants] are going to get hurt. I've been doing this sport for a long, long time and I've never seen any real serious injuries. I never saw nothing that couldn't heal in a couple of weeks. So I don't think it's bad. It is what it is and I think the guys realize where they're at, having fun and trying to test the water with how they can hold up.
The amount that sports has evolved in the 14 years I've been involved is remarkable. We went from weigh ins in the lobby of Holiday Inns in Augusta, Georgia to now courting off half of an arena to accomodate six or seven thousand fans who come for the weigh ins for the pay-per-views now. It's a remarkable difference and it's been an amazing ride. I've had an absolute blast seeing it continue to grow.
Randy Couture is a mixed martial arts fighter and boxer. He is the first to hold two Ultimate Fighting Championship titles in both the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions. He is regarded as a master strategist in boxing. Couture began acting in 2003, taking a small part in the film Cradle 2 the Grave and acting as himself on the hit reality show, The Ultimate Fighter.

Im a bit stuck on the code above.
Depending on how deep the xref nesting goes, it appears that .net will step back out of the code one level at a time.
I can hit this line with a valid ObjectId: Return myEntOID
But when I hit that point, it steps through to End Function, Like I would think it would.
Then goes back to:
ChildrenGet(child, i_Tx, myHNDL, myOwnerHNDL)
Is this normal .net behaviour, How do I exit the function with my value?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Matt,
I think this is a general behavior with any recursive function.
If you want the recursion to end, you may try using a boolean value that gets passed into the function. This will let the top level recursions to know that the value that you are interested in has been found and it no longer needs to invetigate further. If so, the function can simply return which willl make it go back one level up and this will repeat until your recursion ends.
Thank you, Im just figuring out what all of the .net functions do I guess. I assumed, the RETURN would return me and exit out of the function.
Thanks again for the explanation.


text: Most of us are aware of Beyonce saying she has "another side" of herself that comes out when she is onstage. I have recently encountered seemingly regular people (one girl I work with) who has a name for her "bad side". When she is acting like a Christian, she is herself. When she begins cursing, gossiping or flat out being mean to people, she claims it is this "other person" that has taken over. This is becoming incrasingly common from my understanding. Are we now a society that blames "another side of us" did the bad things and now ourselves? Is this some sort of demonic influence? I'm perplexed by this, but from what I've seen, I beileve it to be demonic in nature. I have a feeling this will get worse as time goes on. No need to ask for forgiveness if it wasn't "you" who is committing the crimes/sins..... Scary.

Women's golf in 11th at the DeBary Intercollegiate
Oct. 29, 2006
DeBARY, Fla. - Therese Karlsson's seven-over par 79 led the JU women's golf team as the Dolphins carded a round of 325 with only four players to finish in 11th after the first round of the DeBary Intercollegiate on the par-72 DeBary Country Club.
Minnesota leads the team competition after posting a 298 with four players finishing in the top 10. Florida Atlantic's P. Phol-unayporn leads the individual competition with a one-under par 71.
"With the injuries we've suffered and playing shorthanded, this is a good round for us," said JU assistant coach Pamela Shelley. "Vicki really stepped up today when we needed her, which the whole team fed off of during the day."
Karlsson posted a 41 on the front side but responded with a two-over par 38 on the back side to finish in a tie for 26th.
Heather Fudge finished just a shot back of Karlsson, posting an eight-over par 80, with a 39 on the front side and a 41 on the back nine to finish in a tie for 33rd.
Camilla Loveid tied for 46th with an 82, going out in 40 and closing with a 42. Vicki Nektheden carded a career-best 84 to tie for 54th.
The Dolphins wrap up the tournament on Monday morning starting at 8 a.m.

Being a big fan of metal, my initial reaction to Traced in Air was negative. Cynic was never super brutal or heavy, but they had a death metal edge on their first album that is missing on this one. In fact, it sounded at first like emo-influenced prog-metal, and struck me as less adventurous than the jazz-death-metal of Focus.
But after a few listens, I stopped caring. The songwriting on the album is just that good. Whereas some of the riffs on Focus's songs were unmemorable, every single riff on Traced in Air is golden. The instrumentation is intricate, and the music is passionate. Just like on Focus, the lyrics are very spiritual (with plenty of influence from Hinduism and Indian spiritual philosophy in general). I am not a spiritual person, but these are some really good lyrics. The production is surprisingly good, and does not suffer from the usual clipping that plagues many modern rock/metal releases.
There are a lot of music artists who make emotional music. But very few of these artists are able to support such emotionality with appropriately gripping music (hence why I'm not a fan of emo or any whiny music for that matter). But Cynic did it on Traced in Air. You have to give this album a chance. It's practically a spiritual experience, and one of the best albums of the decade.

Outdoor resetLast April, a law was passed ,that make it mandatory to have outdoor reset on all boilers. Does anyone know this as fact.

Actually...The new standards for residential boilers were passed in 2007 taking effect Sept 1st 2012.
See link:
The new regulations do not say ODR type controls must used, only that "Automatic Means for Adjusting Water Temperature". must be used. Some boiler manufacturers have chosen to use "thermal targeting" controls such as the Hydrolevel.
Any unit manufactured after the Sept 1st date must comply.

outdoor resti just installed a knight wall hung 110 and while reading the instructions on page 53 it stated the united states energy policy and conservation act requires residential boilers with inputs of less than 300,000 btu/hr to be equipped with a control that automatically adjusts boiler water temp in relation to heat demand .

SemanticsIn the 1960's I installed a bunch of simple hydronic systems in small three bedroom ranch homes. The systems had cast boilers baseboard and ONE pump NO zone valves. The pump ran continuously 24-7 forever. The only controls were a 24V transformer, T87, limit and gas valve . No bypasses no protection against condensing. The temperature of the boiler would modulate with changes in the outdoor temperature all by it's self. No reset controls etc.. I have had this system in my own house since 1982 and there are no signs of rust or sooting. It seems to me that this setup meets the new regulations except for one thing. A wall thermostat responds to ACTUAL changes in the load and the regulations say that the means of control should respond to changes in the INFERRED heat load.bob

Semantics"The temperature of the boiler would modulate with changes in the outdoor temperature all by it's self"
IS reset control. How did it detect outdoor temperature?
bob April 24, 2013 @ 2:10 AM

ResetThe colder it gets outside the more time the contacts in the stat stay closed because the load has increased. I know that sounds flip but thats how it works. At the time I designed my system I was going to Hydropulse school and got brain washed. I hoped to get a pulse
and sized the baseboard for 150º water.After I installed and serviced a couple dozen pulses I changed my mind and opted for a SlantFin Galaxy . The water temperature just follows the load and never hits the limit. Its the same way gravity systems work. Another
benefit of the constant circulation is there is never any residual heat in the boiler.bobThis post was edited by an admin on April 24, 2013 2:21 AM.

Why have the circ runeven in the summer ? Back then a simple relay with dry contacts was pretty cheap . I'm sure electric was cheap too ............ How often did the circs have to be changed running 24/7 ?

PumpsRon, most homeowners would flip the switch in the summer. The pumps were B&G 100's.
I didn't dream this control scenario up, this is what was recommended by IBR at that time.
We didn't replace pumps we rebuilt them. We carried impellers, seal kits, couplings, bearing assy. , wicking, motor mounts, motor centrifugal starting switches and motors on the truck. If you kept them oiled they lasted a long time.bob

I get yaI liked doing things by the KISS method too .
As an aside , we did a few gravity hot water changeouts . 2 or 3 we left gravity . I was kinda amazed how fast the rads heated up , even without a circ .....

Large thermal massThis has been seen by some who have put bang-bang boilers with just an aquastat as a control on old gravity systems or other large thermal mass emitters. The water temp never gets a chance to climb to the setpoint before the thermostat cuts out the call for heat. It does seem like a thermostatic boiler bypass would be a good thing under those circumstances.
Chris April 23, 2013 @ 6:36 PM

Means For AdjustingThe inferred load. In other words. Pre Purge until the boiler sees 140 return or 2 minutes which ever comes first before the burner will fire. On a call for heat, the boiler pump will run, the boiler is looking for 140 or 2 minuted which ever comes first.
Just another way around ODR just like someone in the A/C world came up with as long as I don't ship R-22 units charged I'm ok.
The new talk is that DOE is looking to change the Energy Star Rating from 85% to 90% and mfgs of boilers are not too happy."The bitter taste of a poor installation remains much longer than the sweet taste of the lowest price."
Ron Jr. April 23, 2013 @ 6:45 PM

Big caveat .Boilers that maintain temp for a hot water coil are exempt .
We use them anyway . In case they step up to an indirect or storage tank . And most of these controls come with an added benefit , built in low water cutoff ....

By Frank James
BP pledged to spend up to $500 million to research the environmental impact of its Gulf of Mexico oil spill and its attempts to counter the oil with chemical dispersants. That should keep a lot of scientists flush with grant money for quite some time.
An excerpt from a press release on BP's website:
"BP has made a commitment to doing everything we can to lessen the impact of this tragic incident on the people and environment of the Gulf Coast. We must make every effort to understand that impact. This will be a key part of the process of restoration, and for improving the industry response capability for the future. There is an urgent need to ensure that the scientific community has access to the samples and the raw data it needs to begin this work," said Tony Hayward, BP's chief executive.
If BP is also trying to improve its cratering public image or try to mitigate the eventual damage the company might have to pay in damages, there's nothing about that in the press release.
BP also provides a list of questions it developed with scientists it'd like answers for.
The key questions to be addressed by this 10-year research program reflect discussions with the US government and academic scientists in Washington DC last week. BP will fund research to examine topics including:
Where are the oil, the dispersed oil, and the dispersant going under the action of ocean currents?
How do oil, the dispersed oil and the dispersant behave on the seabed, in the water column, on the surface, and on the shoreline?
What are the impacts of the oil, the dispersed oil, and the dispersant on the biota of the seabed, the water column, the surface, and the shoreline?
How do accidental releases of oil compare to natural seepage from the seabed?
What is the impact of dispersant on the oil? Does it help or hinder biodegradation?

Synopsis: Many visitors to Yellowstone National Park don't realize that the boiling hot springs and spraying geysers are caused by an underlying supervolcano. It has erupted three times in the last 2.1 million years, and it will erupt again, changing the earth forever.
Fifteen-year-old Alex is home alone when Yellowstone erupts. His town collapses into a nightmare of darkness, ash, and violence, forcing him to flee. He begins a harrowing trek in search of his parents and sister, who were visiting relatives 140 miles away.
Along the way, Alex struggles through a landscape transformed by more than a foot of ash. The disaster brings out the best and worst in people desperate for food, clean water, and shelter. When an escaped convict injures Alex, he searches for a sheltered place where he can wait—to heal or to die. Instead, he finds Darla. Together, they fight to achieve a nearly impossible goal: surviving the supervolcano.
While I read ASHFALL, I couldn't help but recall scenes from one of my favorite books, The Road by Cormac Macarthy (reviewed here). Only, in this case, the writing is more accessible, especially to the younger audience for which it is intended.
I received this book for review, and the cover caught my attention, but it wasn't until I read Miss Remmers' Review that I picked it up. (Thank you again, Reagan!) And once I picked it up, I could not put it down. The only time I think I glanced up from the book was to ask my husband, "Could the supervolcano at Yellowstone actually erupt?" or, "How do we get water if we lose power and the generator?" or ,"Do you think we need a gun for protection in case of a cataclysmic event and everyone around us loses their minds?"
This is what happens to Alex, or more appropriately, what happens around Alex. The adults around him have fallen victim to one of the most devastating side-effects of a crisis - panic. The ugliness these people demonstrate is enough to make any person give up hope. Instead, Alex pushes forward, despite the dark skies, lack of natural resources, and unknown.
"The volcano had taken our homes, our food, our automobiles, and our airplanes, but it hadn't taken our humanity. No, we'd given that up on our own."
He sets out on a journey to find his family, meeting both hope and despair along the way. Most importantly, he meets Darla. She is one of the best female characters I have discovered all year. She's smart and practical, tough yet sensitive, and she becomes the one person in this ugly unknown world that Alex can trust.
Even though Alex is a typical teenager who fights with his sister and rebels against his parents, he is also a black belt in Taekwondo. As someone whose sons are currently enrolled in classes at the local dojang, I am learning that martial arts is more than punches, kicks, and defense. It's about hard work, commitment, and character. Alex is obviously a product of that.
I don't want to give too much of the storyline away, because I really want you to read this book. It's everything a book should be - interesting, creative, exciting, thoughtful, and suspenseful.
Even though I probably shouldn't have read this book following the Snowtober storm that dumped 16 inches of snow in my part of New Jersey, leaving us without power for a week, I HIGHLY recommend this book for adults and older teens alike. I especially think boys will be grabbed by the collar from the first page.
Ashfall was written to be a trilogy, with the second installment due out in October 2012 from Tanglewood Press.
Parents' Note: Many bookseller websites are recommending this book for ages 12 and up. I have raised that recommended age a bit to 14 years old. It has been a long time since I wrote a parents' note for any book, but I feel the violence in Ashfall may be too graphic for a younger audience. As always, when in doubt, read it yourself before giving it to your teen.
Book Extras:
Official Ashfall website
Mike Mullin on Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Google+ and his blog
About the Book:
ASHFALL is Mike Mullin's debut novel, which has already received awards and honors. Prior to writing, Mike worked for Proctor and Gamble. Mike holds a black belt in Songahm Taekwondo. He lives in Indianapolis with his wife and her three cats.
Disclosure: A review copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for nothing more than an honest review.

Test Center preview: Fedora turns 10
Red Hat's open source standard bearer and mineshaft canary is still everything to every Linux power userFollow @infoworld
There comes a point in the life of any hard-core Linux user when the idea of digging about to find yet another obscure piece of software, compiling the code, and integrating it into your daily routine just seems annoying, not compelling. This is where Fedora comes through. Because more of the popular and necessary packages "just work" with Fedora, less time is burned spinning wheels and more time is available for productive tasks.
To those who grew up with Red Hat Linux, the birth of Fedora was a bit of a surprise. In 2003, Fedora rose from the ashes of Red Hat Linux when Red Hat commercialized its Linux offering under the now-familiar name of Red Hat Enterprise Linux and made Fedora its open source initiative. As it played out, Fedora was, and is, essentially the beta release of Red Hat Enterprise Server. When a Fedora distribution has been released and used the world over for a significant period of time, it forks to become the next iteration of RHEL. Thus, Fedora has always been a community-supported preview of the next version of RHEL.
[ Need a Linux that can boot from a pen drive, run in a sliver of RAM, rejuvenate an old system, or rescue data from a dead PC? See "Specialty Linuxes to the rescue." Read about the very best open source software products in InfoWorld's Best of Open Source Software Awards 2008. ]
Fedora is clearly meant to be a Swiss Army knife, with not just something for everyone, but nearly everything for everyone. Fedora is at home providing an attractive and responsive desktop experience, but it's also nicely equipped to run server tasks without a GUI, and offers a myriad of out-of-the-box development and administration tools that just make life simpler for Linux admins.
For many in the Linux community, Fedora has become the mainstay of projects big and small. Legend has it that Linus Torvalds uses Fedora. It runs on desktops and servers, serving as a foundation to myriad tools and projects, and is generally viewed as a generally stable Linux distribution, but one that can and does change radically from release to release. As befits what is essentially beta code, those releases tend to come fast and furious. Fedora 10 is no exception.
Fedora 10, code-named Cambridge, incorporates some significant changes from Fedora 9, such as a whole new boot process, dubbed Plymouth; support for the ext4 file system; inclusion of the Sugar GUI, originally developed for the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) initiative; updates to both Gnome and KDE; and a new theme, dubbed Solar. The good news is that users who stay current with Fedora releases can update their existing Fedora systems with a few commands rather than a wholesale reinstall.
On the inside
Under the covers, Fedora 10 offers updates to several key elements (such as to kernel version 2.6.27) and incorporates a wide variety of coding tools, from Java, Ruby, Python, Perl, and even Haskell, to the Eclipse IDE, as well as supporting players. Most of these are part and parcel of any Fedora release, of course.
Virtualization is provided in the form of Xen, with options during installation to include and boot a Xen-enabled kernel to perform paravirtualization of Linux VMs running under the main system. Clustering support is there as well.

Dion Phaneuf to the East?
According to the rumor producer ESPN insider. Dion Phaneuf could be headed to the tri-state area. Now the problem with ESPN Insider is that you have to pay for it to look at the full rumor and they give you a preview of the first sentence to entice the reader to buy it the sentence says the following. ''Stud Blueliner could be getting closer to Avery.'' Take this for what it is but if this is true and if someone of prominence comes the other way I'm all for it. So if anyone out there has access to ESPN Insider please enlighten us on the situation, till then all we can do is speculate and make up what the trade could be.

COSHOCTON, Ohio (AP) - Authorities say an Ohio woman has died from injuries suffered last week when the family dog attacked her.
County sheriff's reports and a hospital spokeswoman said 35-year-old Rachael Honabarger of Coshocton died Saturday at a Columbus hospital.
Coshocton's dog warden said Honabarger was attacked Tuesday by the family's dog, a 100-pound, 3-year-old German shepherd. She is believed to have suffered wounds to her neck.
The Coshocton Tribune (http://ohne.ws/11NmHGP ) reports that a neighbor was credited with seeing Honabarger in distress, pulling the dog off her and performing first aid until emergency personnel arrived.

An Illinois River levee breach leaves portions of eastern Brown County underwater.
According to Brown County Emergency Management Director Curt Hannig, the breach happened at the Little Creek Levee on the south side of Camp Creek Thursday.

The majority of the flooded area is at the Meredosia National Wildlife refuge. Hannig says about 50 acres of farmland were flooded. Several houses in the area are now surrounded by water, including Ronald Fischer's vacation house in Versailles. Fischer now has to take an air boat to get to and from his home.
"We saw a lot of water where water isn't supposed to be.," said Fischer. "There is a levee back there which, in the past, for years and years and years the levee always held the water back."
Fischer and his wife live in Springfield and have been driving down every day to check on water levels. Fischer says last night he got the call from a neighbor that the river had breached the levee near their home.
"We got up this morning thinking what we were going to see, we saw," said Fischer. "But, it's always different in person."
What they saw surprised them. Mail boxes were submerged, cars under several feet of water and a building only visible by it's roof.
Brown County Emergency Management Director Curt Hannig was down in the river bottom Friday afternoon. Hannig says the majority of the flooded area is considered 'wet-land,' leading him to make the decision to not sandbag the levee district.
"We don't want to pull an resources that could be used in other locations such as Beardstown and Meredosia where they really need the help to get their levees strengthened up so they don't have a critical failure," said Hannig.
Luckily, Fischer's home, like many others, only has water damage to the basement. However, he says this is all a part of living on the river.
"We'll be back, there's no question about that," said Fischer. "It's too beautiful out here not to work as hard as you can in order to enjoy the fruits of your labor."
A three mile area of County Highway 12 is closed until further notice.

Monsignor Scanlan got the drop on host Monsignor Farrell with a second-period burst and hung on for a 74-63 CHSAA victory on Sunday afternoon.
"We just could not get over that slight deficit," said MF assistant Pete Tutrone after the Crusaders outscored the Lions 24-17 to take a 38-30 lead into the halftime lockers.
"We battled throughout the game, but could not nail the shot when we needed it."
Tutrone pointed out the inside work of 6-9 Jonathan Nwankwo (20 points) and the play of George Pena (13 points) kept the Bronx visitors on top.
Joe Zieris led the Farrell scoring with 17 points, including a trio of treys. Nick Corbett added 10 points, 6 assists and 6 rebounds and Timmy Bradley contributed a dozen points and six boards.
The (9-14 overall, 5-5 in the CHSAA A) Lions play at Bishop Ford on Tuesday.

Christmas-tree story was wrong choice
Re: the Dec. 24 article "100 Christmas trees create tiny forest in couple's home."
What rhymes with conspicuous consumption? Poor story selection. The Daily Star got the story all wrong. This is a perfect example of the materialistic vulgarization of Christmas. Who was the intended readership of this story? The elitist 1 percent?
Pray tell: How many among us can afford the cost of 100 Christmas trees to gaudily decorate our home? I would have been impressed if the story was about this family's donating 99 Christmas trees to many people who could not afford a Christmas tree this year. What were you thinking?

With Isquierdo, no wonder district hurting
Re: the Dec. 18 article "Isquierdo now faces new US tax debt."
Sunnyside Superintendent Manuel Isquierdo owes the federal government $57,000 for unpaid income taxes, in addition to various other unpaid taxes on property. Yet he makes $237,500 a year, probably 10 times the household income of many families who send their children to schools in his district.
No wonder Sunnyside is fraught with budget problems. Its superintendent thinks nothing of spending our taxes indiscriminately, but he doesn't pay his own. I'm certainly relieved that Isquierdo is not handling my finances.

Glitches to be expected on major public program
One needs to realize that when a large program — designed to provide insurance coverage to millions and increase the coverage of millions more — launches, there will be some glitches. Certainly not of the impeachable type or even close to it.
If you look back at when major programs such as Medicare, Social Security and most recently "Romneycare" in Massachusetts, you find it took years to resolve all issues. Had everyone pulled together to make the health law a success, we would probably not be experiencing these problems, but unfortunately, we have a large group of politicians and individuals who find fault with anything this president does.
The president's efforts to provide coverage to all who need it should be lauded. It will take time to resolve all problems. It will succeed as long as we look past the negative reporting and commentary.

Over a third of applicants to Guilford College will not be admitted, and successful students will need to have a solid academic record. In the scattergram above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. You can see that the majority of admitted applicants had high school averages of "B" or higher, combined SAT scores of 1500 or higher, and ACT composite scores of 20 or better. Note that Guilford has test-optional admissions, so your grades are going to matter much more than standardized test scores.
You'll notice a few red dots (rejected students) mixed in with the green and blue of the graph. Some students with grades and test scores that were on target for Guilford were rejected. You'll also notice that a couple students were admitted with test scores and grades below the norm. This is because Guilford's admissions process is holistic. The admissions folks will want to see that you have taken rigorous high school courses, not courses that get you an easy "A." The school uses the Common Application, and they will be looking for a winning essay, interesting extracurricular activities, and strong letters of recommendation. Students who do not submit standardized test scores will also need to submit a portfolio of written work including a graded writing sample. In general, the college is looking for students who will contribute to the campus community in meaningful ways.

"Thence did dark king LeBron bring heavy rain upon the hating masses, and lo was there much anguish"
I had a very long day yesterday so I didn't even get to stay up for the end of the MIA-SAS Game 6. I last closed my computer and closed my eyes with ESPN.com showing this score:
But I still knew for sure that Miami would come back to win. How was I so sure? Because rule #1 in Karmic Deitification is that GOD HATES CLEVELAND SPORTS. Any thoughts of what will or should happen at any sports moment should first start with "will this agonize Cleveland sports fans in some way". If not, then start applying karma rules 2 through 687 (very last and most inconsequential rule being to never wear a baseball glove to a game if you're over 12 years old).
So anyway, because it would agonize Cleveland sports fans, Miami was assured to win. The history of Cleveland sports agony is long, illustrious, and fun, but can probably be best summed up with a simple gif of their marginally talented 28-year-old rookie quarterback that they took in the FIRST ROUND last year having this happen to him in warmups:
Stanley Cup Game 4 tonight, and of course some Beisbol. Have fun, Hamsterdammers

The news is still hard to process for Harvest Lane neighbors. "This is an absolute tragedy," says Kelly Lewandowski. "We've lived here on 15 years and nothing like this has ever happened in the neighborhood."
On Saturday, three kids were raking leaves on the front lawn. By Monday, they were gone. Now authorities are left piecing together the story, like the ongoing custody dispute between parents Chris and Mandy Hayes, and the grandmother, Sandy Ford.
"What's so bad about it...we don't know," says Dean Sparks with Lucas County Children Services. "We only know that there was a lot of conflict, there was a lot of allegations back and forth. It's not at all an unusual situation."
Counselors were on hand in every Whiteford Elementary classroom on Tuesday to help students process the news.
"It's going to be a longer process with our fifth graders," says Brad Rieger, superintendent of Sylvania City Schools. "But even at the kindergarten and second grade, they were sitting in a circle and talking about the student that is not with them today."
Children Services workers visited the parents and grandparents as recent as Saturday, but say nothing indicated such serious problems and deadly decisions."We pray for everyone that knew them, our staff that knew them," says Sparks. "We only hope the family can find some resolution to this as quickly as they can."

Blame for high oil prices is misplaced- even by conservatives
By Merrill Matthews There has been some media grumbling lately – including from some who are viewed as conservative leaning – about U.S. oil companies exporting oil. The complaint: The U.S. imports and refines lots of oil, so why isn't that oil being sold to and used in the U.S. rather than to other countries? …

He has a horrible rebounding rate, he is constantly beat in the paint, he has poor shot selection, poor form, low FG%, non existent shot blocker, he can't pass, and he's a total idiot.
Why would you want a player like that on your team?
JJJ is better I promise.
We need someone that shoots well, and can finish the break, someone who can spread the floor and pass over people. Even if Glen was amazing he is still undersized. Leon Powe is an example of a good undersized player, Glen Davis is an example of a bad one. With that being said I still wouldn't want Powe I want a 6'10 player who can block shots and finish the break. Glen is awful at both, and everything else.

We're On the Same Team Part One: One Oar at a Time
Manufacturers and retailers of the home décor industry are stuck due to ineffective and sometimes harmful habits in their dealings with one another. It's not just the struggles of the economy that's causing this disparate relationship, either. Like a rowboat that's not going anywhere fast, the home décor industry's two primary 'oars' - manufacturers and retailers - are working one oar at a time, floundering in the waters of opportunity for an unproductive and useless expenditure of energy.
In the current model, the retailer and manufacturer each act without thought or care to the effect on the other party. Retailers might give prominent showroom space to one brand over the other, causing the underexposed product to suffer in sales. Retailers are claiming that some manufacturers are allowing anybody with a business license or fly-by-night e-commerce site to 'sell' their products, happy to make an extra buck, while their retailer partners lose business to price slashing. Unless they come together and row in tandem, they'll continue to spin in circles until they waste away from their directionless exertion.
Are better days ahead if they can put their oars in the water simultaneously and work together?
Potentially, yes. But first, they must both recognize that they can't survive or be successful without the other. Manufacturers need to understand that due to the consumer's changed buying behavior, their control over their brand online is crucial to their retailer partners' survival. They can't allow just anyone to sell their products; they must maintain stricter discipline and discernment, sanctioning only those retailers who best represent their brand. Retailers need to protect and promote the value of their brand partners to the end customer via better merchandising.
Second, they need to work together to maintain the integrity of the market - starting with pricing. Pricing should conform to an equitable policy from all elements of the trade - retail online and offline - using a strategy such as Minimally Advertised Price (MAP) that is governed carefully on all retail platforms. Manufacturers should set and oversee these policies, while retailer partners should uphold them and support their implementation efforts (reporting violators and unsanctioned retailers).
These elements can only be achieved through a collaborative effort that promotes accountability - something I'll address in more detail in my next post. Manufacturers and retailers who work in tandem, rowing together toward the mutual goal of sustainability in our industry's future, will experience durable growth and success over others who are lacking discipline in controlling their brands.

"People who take an Internet handle of a great warrior, are usually the first to go fetal when crunch time comes." - Me
Yes, I have had training, and found it quite useful. I honestly agree with you (and have stated repeatedly as a caveat) that ANYTHING can happen to ANYONE at ANY TIME. I have never argued that point. But that statement is the written equivalent of Muzak. It conveys nothing and provides you nothing to work with. It's like repeating water is wet. I even hate seeing it in print.
My point has been that many gun hobbiests and posters here like to point statements such as "anything can happen, you never know.." to validate their self-defense choices. If you want to train like a ninja, carry around an entire arsenal of weapons, and condition like a SEAL, the exercise will do far more for your longevity than the ability to win a fight - especially if avoiding fights is your goal.
I certainly don't "bet my life" on anyone's numbers, but I do spend a good deal of effort endeavoring to effectively prioritize my risk management profile. To toss out another cliche', only a fool puts all his eggs in one basket.
When the one guy posted about his concern about potentially fighting a heroin addict across the street who calls him out, I am grateful I spent most of my early training resources on an undergraduate and graduate education in the military so I could move to a neighborhood where that scenario is simply unthinkable.
Could that happen in my neighborhood? Sure. I'll post here when that day comes. Don't hold your breath.
All kidding aside....
Yes, training is necessary. At least beyond what you get in a PCW (CCW, or whichever acronym fits your state). I posit that you cannot train for every possibility... The lion being a fairly good example.
I'm also certain that those who train constantly are living their lives to the fullest.... They enjoy the training... It's not for me. But it surely floats their boat...
I have several rods and reels... I go fishin' every once in a while... There's a state lake within 1/2 mile of my house... I catch some fish, too... even et a couple once or twice.... But I ain't no fisherman... I got no mega buck bass boat. don't have the 4X4 to pull one if I did... But... I still catch some fish... I still eat some I catch...
I've even gone huntin' in the past... got me some squirrel and some 'coons in my time.. don't have no 'coon hounds... but still got me a 'coon... even went on a deer hunt with my uncle... I didn't get a deer... but I et some...
Got me a table saw and a few other wood workin' tools... built me a stair case... did pretty good at it too... but I ain't no cabinet maker/finish carpenter
oh, and BTW all them joints is dovetails:
Got me a little cement mixer... one of them 31/2 cubic foot units.... I ain't no mason... but I built my fireplace.... Works pretty good too....
I even did the outside of it too.... here's when I started:
Made it alllaway to the top too I did.... But can't find those pix... guess I ain't no photographer...
Point is... I got a gun... I carry it, I got the permit to go with it... if I need it... I'll prolly make out okay...
But I ain't no pistolero... that'd be SIXTO
It could be worse!

Dang, oakchas, that's flippin' AWESOME!!!!
Oakchas, a state lake 1/2 mile from your house? You lucky dog. I have to drive about 80 miles to the closest one. It's worth it though. Last time I was up there we caught 161 Perch in 3 hours. One more trip and I should be have enough fish to last through the winter. Oh, and nice handywork too. Wish I could build stuff like that.
I think this thread is probably past any possibility of civil discussion, so who wants to talk fishing?
Put your mind to the task at hand and come out on top.... whatever the task is... and by whatever means necessary...
It could be worse!
I suppose
