The major cloud platforms defy a simple, side-by-side analysis. Each of the major IaaS public-cloud platforms offers their own unique strengths and functionality. Options for on-site private cloud are diverse as well, and must be designed and deployed while taking existing legacy architecture and infrastructure into account. Then the reality is that most enterprises are embarking on a hybrid cloud strategy and programs.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless.

It would be too obvious to play "It's A Long Way To The Top" so our performer chose to blow "Thunderstruck" for the crowd and adds in some nice effects.
Food theft is a constant danger in the animal world, and some animals are better at it than others.

Some animals just don't seem to understand that we need to see out of the windshield, and that sitting right on it harms our ability to do that.
It used to be that a tandem bike meant a bike for two. Not so anymore.
Horseback riding can be tons of fun, unless of course the horse just doesn't like you.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Advertising Advisor Services and Credentials Section 206 of the Investment Advisers Act contains the anti-fraud provision of the statute and ensures that RIAs advertising and marketing practices are consistent with the fiduciary duty owed to clients and prospective clients.
- U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Information This information sheet contains general information about certain provisions of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and selected rules under the Advisers Act. It also provides information about the resources available from the SEC to help advisors understand and comply with these laws and rules.
The Financial Services Institute (FSI), the association of independent broker-dealers, e-mailed a 10-page letter to the SEC on Friday, warning of the "important unintended consequences" for IBDs, their reps and those reps' clients should the SEC's proposed changes to Rule12b-1 be adopted by the Commission.
Signed by the president and CEO of FSI, Dale Brown, the letter warns that adoption of Rule 12b-2 would have the effect of "limiting investor access to service and support" and instead would create a "duplicative, ineffective, post-transaction disclosure regime."
FSI said it polled its individual advisor members to get their feedback on what 12b-2 would mean for them and their clients. The polled advisors, the letter said, would support "adoption of proposed descriptive names for mutual fund distribution fees and enhanced prospectus disclosure improvements" as called for in the proposal.
However, the advisors said they would oppose the "detailed confirmation disclosures" in the proposal, worried that the proposed new rule's cap on ongoing sales charges would "reduce investors' access to competent service and support," and that moving "low net worth" clients from C-shares to investment advisory accounts would result in "higher costs for the investor."
FSI says the conclusions to be drawn from their survey of advisor members is that those advisors would support "common sense improvements" to the disclosure of mutual fund distribution fees, but that the SEC's proposal on making confirms more detailed would "confuse investors or prove ineffective."
In its letter, the FSI argues that 12b-1 fees are at least partially responsible for the growth of the mutual fund industry and investors' participation in mutual funds, and asks the SEC to "substantiate its recommendations" before changing the current mutual fund distribution fee "structure," particiarly in light of the Commission's "ongoing standard of care owed to investors" BDs and their reps.

Tariffs tabled in state energy talks
The New England States Committee on Electricity (NESCOE) was looking for a potential vote next month.
Meanwhile, the New Hampshire Office of Energy Planning, in consultation with the state energy advisory council, expects to release a final report on the state's 10-year energy strategy by Sept. 1 after releasing a draft report May 1.
The difference can be made up by power providers buying renewable energy credits.
In June, William Quinlan, president and chief operating officer for Public Service of New Hampshire, told the New Hampshire Union Leader that Northern Pass was moving ahead as planned and not waiting for NESCOE to make recommendations about energy projects that could use eminent domain and ratepayer funds.

Wow, "foreign nationals". No mention of what country they come from. I'm willing to bet they all flew in from either Belgium, Canada, Iceland, or maybe Greece.

SKIING BOOT 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 IN VEN TOR.
United States Patent Kurt Giirtner, Koflaeh, Styria, Austria, assignor to Schuhfabrik Koflach F. Herunter 0HG., Vienna,
Austria Filed Feb. 16, 1962., Ser. No. 173,782 Claims priority, application Austria Feb. 22, 1961 Claims- (tCl. 36-25) In the manufacture of shoes, the uppers are connected to the insole by a seam. For this purpose the insole has on its underside a so-called lip, which is defined by an oblique cut extending along the periphery of the insole. It is also known to make the insole of plastic or rubber and provide the lip in the form of a molded rib. The insole must then be connected to an intermediate sole. Because the lip or rib depends from the insole, a cavity will be formed if the intermediate sole has a flat top surface. This cavity is filled with a filler, which may consist of an inserted piece of leather or of felt, cork, rubber cork etc. This provision of the filler requires manual work and particularly in the case of heavy shoes involves the disadvantage that surface irregularities may develop in the shoe itself when it is worn and may have undesirable eifects because the insole is unevenly loaded by the foot. In shoes having a soft, flexible sole, it is known to make the filler integral with the intermediate sole by giving the latter a stepped cross-section. In this known design the intermediate sole consists of soft, flexible chrome leather and the actual outsole is secured, e.g., adhesively connected, to the underside of this intermediate sole.
To ensure a positive connection to the ski, skiing boots should have a sole which is not flexible but as rigid as possible. For this purpose, steel inserts, e.g., have been provided in the sole of skiing boots. Such steel inserts, however, are not suificient to impart to the sole the required flexural rigidity, and if such steel inserts are so thick that they actually increase the fiexural rigidity of the sole they will detrimentally increase the weight of the skiing boot. For this reason it is preferable to impart fiexural rigidity to the sole of skiing boots by giving the sole an appropriate thickness. The leather soles used for this purpose, however, will absorb moisture, whereby their flexural rigidity will be partly lost.
It is an object of the invention to provide a skiing boot in which these disadvantages are avoided. The skiing boot according to the invention is essentially characterized by an intermediate sole which consists of a deformationresisting plastic and the cross section of which is stepped to form a filler which is integral with the intermediate sole, and by an insole which consists of a deformationresisting plastic and which has a preformed lip rib, which surrounds the filler of the intermediate sole and the height of which corresponds approximately to the height of the filler-forming step of the intermediate sole. The lip rib of the insole preferably surrounds the filler-forming step of the intermediate zone so as to leave a clearance required for the seam which connects the upper to the insole. As the filler is formed by a portion of the intermediate zone and the thickness of the intermediate sole is increased at this point by the size of the filler, an intermediate sole of high fiexural rigidity is obtained. The preformed lip on the undersideof the insole acts as a stiffening rib, which stiifens the insole. Because the rib of the insole embraces the filler-forming step of the intermediate sole, the insole and intermediate sole interlock so that the composite sole is stiffened to have a bending strength which is higher than would correspond to the bending strengths of the intermediate sole and the insole, considered individually. Thus, the invention provides a skiing boot having a sole of extremely high fiexural rigidity 3,125,816 Patented Mar. 24., 1964 although it has no inserts. The outside edge of the fillerforming step of the intermediate sole and the inside edge of the lip or rib of the insole are suitably defined by sur faces extending at right angles to the plane of the sole, whereby the interlock between the intermediate sole and the insole is improved.
The intermediate sole may have cavity-forming recesses in its portion covered by the insole, more particularly in its filler-forming portion. Whereas such cavities, which are preferably rectangular in cross-section or of substantially rectangular shape when viewed from above, will virtually not reduce the bending strength, but result in a saving in weight and provide for a good heat insulation. These cavities enable the manufacture of a sole which in spite of its high bending strength is lighter in weight than where the usual filler is employed.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is diagrammatically shown in the drawing.
FIG. 1 is a top plan view showing the intermediate sole. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional View taken on line II- H of FIG. 1 and showing the intermediate sole. FIG. 3 shows an insole. FIG. 4 is a transverse sectional view taken on line IVIV of FIG. 3 and showing the insole. FIG. 5 is a transverse sectional view showing a skiing boot having an intermediate sole as shown in FIG. 1 and an insole as shown in FIG. 2.
The intermediate sole 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a deformation-resisting plastic, such as a suitable polyvinylchloride. In its central portion, the intermediate sole has on its upper side a step 2, which forms the filler. In this portion, in which the thickness of the intermediate sole is increased by the filler or the steps 2, the intermediate sole is formed with recesses 3 and 4 to reduce the weight and to improve the heat insulation. The outside edge 5 of the filler 2, however, is continuous. The depth of these recesses 3 and 4 is larger than the height of the step which forms the filler. This results in a substantial saving in weight. The recesses 3 are separated from each other by longitudinally and transversely extending ribs, 7 and 6, respectively.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show an insole 8, which is suitable for being assembled with an intermediate sole as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The insole 8 consists also of a deformation-resisting plastic, such as a suitable polyvinylchloride, and is integrally formed with a rib or lip 9. The insole may consist of two layers, the lower layer 8 and the rib or lip 9 consisting of one piece of the high-strength plastic, such as polyvinylchloride, whereas the upper layer 10 may consists, e.g., of a softer plastic or leather, which is highly compatible with the foot. In order to stiffen the rib or lip 9 the connection to the sole 8 is sloped or bevelled at the outside of the rib or lip at 11. At 12 the seam is stitched.
An intermediate sole as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 and an insole as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 are assembled in a skiing boot as shown in FIG. 5. The outside contour of the filler 2 is somewhat smaller than the inside contour of the rib or lip 9 of the insole 8 so that a clearance 13 is formed between the filler 2 and the rib or lip 9 to accommodate the seam 14 whereby at least one upper 15 and the lining 17 are sewn to the insole 8, more particularly, to the rib 9. As is known, in most instances, a skiing boot includes two uppers arranged one within the other with the same being laced separately. For simplicity, only one upper has been illustrated in the drawings. The outside edge of the filler 2 of the intermediate sole 1 as well as the inside edge of the rib 9 of the insole 8 are confined by faces which extend vertically to the sole face, thus forming a good interlocking of the insole 8 and the intermediate sole 1. The height of the rib 9 corresponds to the height of the filler 2, and the insole 8 and the intermediate sole 1 are in close engagement with each other.
This enables a direct adhesive connection between the insole and the intermediate sole on the surface of the filler 2. Since the insole 8 and the intermediate sole 1 consist of plastic, a perfectly durable adhesive connection may be provided between them with plastic adhesives. An outsole 16, e.g., of rubber, is adhesively connected to the intermediate sole 1. 18 is the welt, through which the seam 14 extends and which is connected by a seam 19 to the intermediate sole.
What I claim is:
1. A skiing boot comprising at least one upper, and a sole member defined by an insole of deformation-resisting plastic material, an intermediate sole of deformationresisting plastic material and an outsole, spaced vertical members projecting upwardly from said intermediate sole and being integral therewith to form cavities therein, a vertical rib member extending downwardly from said insole adjacent the periphery thereof, and said vertical members and vertical rib member extending substantially the same distance above and below said intermediate sole and insole, respectively, to provide a filler for said boot.
2. The skiing boot as claimed in claim 1 wherein the outside edge of said filler is continuous and formed by one of said vertical members and a seam secures said at least one upper to the rib member of the insole, and said rib member is disposed around said continuous outside edge to provide an annular recess for said seam.
3. The skiing boot as claimed in claim 1, wherein said vertical members and said vertical rib member are disposed at substantially a right angle to the horizontal plane of said intermediate sole and insole, respectively, said rib member being substantially rectangular in crosssection and having inner and outer sides, and said outer side of said rib member being provided with a bevelled surface where said rib member joins said insole for stiitening said rib member.
4. The skiing boot as claimed in claim 1, wherein said cavities are covered by said insole and are of greater depth than the distance at which the vertical ri'o member extends downwardly from the insole.
5. The skiing boot as claimed in claim 1, wherein said vertical members are defined by longitudinally and transversely extending ribs thereby providing cavities which are substantially rectangular.

I grow this one too slowpoke. Not too many flowers on mine either this year. Mind you, it's not as floriferous as the standard plain green summer jasmine. (mine has masses of scented flowers). The variegated jasmine isn't, too my mind, a great flowerer......anyone else getting lots of flowers on this?
This autumn I intend to scatter potash around my gooseberries and blackcurramts as well as the variegated jasmine. (they are in the same area). I prune mine back fairly hard every autumn, as I do with green jasmine. Try potash slowpoke.
Good morning FORKERS
Lovely morning here.
My front lawn ....to all intents and purposes looks good..... Soft, green even. But I increasingly am aware that it needs some rough treatment. Parts of it are not anchored securely and vigorous raking and scarifying will pull up strips of grass. So I'm inclined to dig it all over and reseed. I tend to jump in and make a start once a notion hits me so I prob will get some glyphosate and spray lawn ASAP.
Shame cos front garden is looking pretty good and the lawn sets it off. A week of turning and levelling, two weeks before germination means at least 3 weeks of bare soil covering over 150 sq metres.
Ah well! I could simply raise cut and forget it......but I will have to do it next year!
It's been that sort of year Christine. Were your plants hit by frost and cold weather earlier this year? We had a long cold spring and everything was late. They normally flower in spring and early summer so by the time plants recovered they simply,wanted to grow, in my opinion.
I never feed mine. I think you are prob over tending them. I would stop feeding
Summer prune to encourage fruit formation. August is best time, generally, to summer prune. Done mine. If your trees are spur bearers summer pruning by shortening the shoots off the main branches to 3 or 4 leaves encourages fruit. It is bit late now for summer pruning in my opinion.
I prune not only my own cordon, espalier and bush apples n pears but also a friend's.....she has a score of apples n pears. We both have easy to pick trees with masses of blossom and, currently, heavily laden with fruit.
For me, winter pruning is for growth.
You are welcome. Your questions are absolutely fine.
Explain to your friend though that if he plants the right things in the right soil he will have happy thriving plants. Plant the wrong things and they will simply look miserable and awful
Its TOO ACID. Loam is just a name for good soil.....eg sandy loam is a good sandy type soil, clay loam is a good clay type soil.
I think it's too wet for heathers too. They like it drier.
My advice is not to grow lavendars. I have no doubt.....no doubt at all....if you contact the forum again in a few months it will be to say the lavendars have died.
The very wise maxim is......work with the soil and conditions you have. You are tryIng to work against them. What is the point of that? Plenty of advice to help you do that but grow something else.
I want a bed of azaleas but my soil won't allow that. So I don't grow them in my garden.??????
Echinacas? Noooooooooo. Rudbeckia Goldsturn is a brilliant yellow perennial that will grow there as will astilbes. Astrantias, etc.
Azalas, dwarf rhododendrons, kalmias, etc. will grow there. Lithodora is a low cascading evergreen with brilliant blue flowers in spring and early summer and will love it there too.
Plenty of better options
Lavendars NEED light, free draining alkaline or neutral soil. It's a long border to dig in mushroom compost, etc. that will only slightly improve comditions. You need a lot of compost.
I think it is madness to grow lavendar there....the wetness will simply engulf the area again. You are working against all the natural comditions to,provide something that prob won't look right anyway.
You can raise the bed and do all sorts......costing money. I think ferns will look better there
Hiya everyone
Been lovely day today. Plenty of sunshine.
Mrsgarden. I went to one of those garden clubs for a couple of weeks. Drove me up the wall.......nobody knew anything, talk was of the next outing and tea and cakes seemed to be most,important thing. More of a social club.....boooooooooring! Had more fun sitting on the loo
Rococo, simply put,
you can't plant lavendar there.
Your friend needs to accept this basic fact. The soil is too acid, too wet and lavendars planted there will die in a matter of months if not weeks. If budget is tight this is even more of a reason not to waste money.
Your friend needs to think again
You need to TALK to your doc about that Chicky!

Deposit Cabin Rental Photos and Description
3BR/2BA/Sleeps 7 comfortably, will accommodate 8
The Red House River Cabin is 1550 luxury square feet and approximately 200 feet from Delaware River. It sits directly in front of one of the best wild trout fishing holes in the Northeast. The cabin comes with a fully equipped state-of-the-art kitchen and boasts a large living room with cable TV, and Internet - great for entertaining. It has been completely remodeled; beautiful and comfortable for fishermen as well as non-fishing people. The Red House River Cabin has a covered porch and a 600 sq.ft. deck with patio furniture for outdoor entertaining. Perfect for family get-togethers, couples rendezvous or romantic get-away. Enjoy a private, secluded setting with friends, business people or by yourself for some 'R&R.' Golf courses are within minutes, 3 ski areas are within one hour and a state park with a swimming beach is 15 minutes away. Mountain biking trails nearby or you can bring your canoe or kayak and launch down the road. Come to fish or to relax. Enjoy.
Fishing the Upper Delaware: The Upper Delaware is some of the best dry fly fishing in the East. Serious hatches begin in April with the Hendrickson, Quills, and evolve into the hatches of March Browns and Sulphurs in May. The last few years I have fished sulfur patterns from May until September. Of course, you can always count on various doses of caddis and blue winged olives throughout the season and of course the mysterious tricos on misty summer mornings. There are plenty of riffles and braids to try your favorite nymphs as well. When the water is a little higher, don't be afraid the bang the banks with big streamers whether you are wading or in a boat. The River Cabin is across from the Gentleman's Pool access, canoes can be launched here too. Stilesville and Indian Country drift boat launches are each within about two miles.
Other Activities: Golf, skiing, hunting, and general outdoor pursuits are all within short driving distances. Oquaga State Park is within 6 miles and includes a beach, golf, hiking, and fishing. Other golf courses include the Hancock Golf Course and French Woods about 14 and 20 miles respectively. Elk Mountain skiing is 34 miles, Hunter and Windham are each about 95 miles. As the gateway to the Catskill Mountains and Delaware River Valley you are in the perfect area to explore small towns, hike mountains, and simply get lost! There are several spas in PA and NYS within 30 to 40 miles. Be sure to look for the nesting bald eagles across the street!
Your invitation: We invite you to enjoy our home as we enjoy it. We have personally taken part in all the activities we mention in the descriptions above. We will do our best to put you on the right flies, recommend the right restaurant, and give the best directions we can to make your stay enjoyable. If you are here to fly-fish, imagine fishing for a couple of hours in the morning and then taking in nine holes of golf and still be back on the river in time for the evening hatch! If you don't fish, come and enjoy the peace and quiet and what nature has to offer all in the comfort of a 1500 square foot home away from home.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Our family of 5 (and occasional friends) have been blessed with the Winkler's love of fishing! We have frequented both of the cabins they own in the Hancock area between 2009-2011 and have only the fondest memories. We miss our visits and hope to return some day.
Both the Red House in Hancock and the Red House River Cabin in Deposit are well-kept, well-decorated, and welcoming. Our family has felt comfortable as if at home at both of these locations and the owners couldn't be more accommodating.
We have stayed at the Red House in Hancock during all seasons and have been quite comfortable. Along with the cabin itself, the remote surroundings are also peaceful and relaxing. There were a few occasions where our visit to Hancock fell on dates already booked at the Red House and we sorely missed our home away from home when this happened!
When the Winkler's purchased the Red House River Cabin in Deposit, we did not hesitate to rent their new cabin. It's larger, allowing for more friends to join us. We even had a graduation party at this location in June 2011 and the barbeque, porch and manicured lawns were delightful amenities for our celebration!
During our stays, and since, the Winkler's continue to make updates and improvements on the properties (not that they were needed). I would recommend staying at either property at any time whenever in the area!

For much of her professional life, Dr. Susan Rosenberg has studied the puzzling response of bacteria to stress and the mutations that result. In the current issue of the journal Science (www.sciencemag.org), she puts together the pieces of that puzzle, describing most of the members of an elaborate gene network that functions in causing mutations during repair of double-stranded breaks in the DNA of stressed cells.
"We now know the 93 genes more than half of which are funneling into three nodes that go down the mutagenesis pathway," said Rosenberg, professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine and 2009 winner of the National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Award.
Rosenberg's groundbreaking work has shown that the rate of mutation can be increased in response to stress such as starvation or environmental challenges such as antibiotics. This changes old ideas about constant and gradual accumulation of mutations over time. Some mutations are detrimental; others can promote survival. In this work, she and her colleagues sought to define the cellular pathways that result in this stress response.
"We screened for every gene in Escherichia coli that is needed to make this happen," said Rosenberg. E. coli is a "model" organism often used in the laboratory to study cells, because its DNA and other components work similarly to those in humans.
They have found that the mutagenic part of the process is not required to repair the broken DNA strands. When they "knock out" or remove the special "error-prone" DNA copying enzyme or polymerase, "the DNA is repaired beautifully and there are no mutations." So, cells do not make mutations because they have to, to repair DNA. Rather, this mechanism appears to regulate production of mutations, making more during stress, when cells are poorly adapted to their environments, and most likely to benefit from mutations.
"Fewer than 16 proteins that are needed to accomplish stress-inducible mutagenesis were known previously. This is about the number known for any molecular mechanism of DNA biology," said Rosenberg. "Our screen sought the whole list of all proteins the cell uses to make it happen."
The painstaking process, begun by then postdoctoral fellow Dr. Mary-Jane Lombardo, now of Seres Health, Inc., in Cambridge, Mass., was completed by Dr. Amar Al Mamun, an assistant professor in Rosenberg's laboratory at BCM.
Large fractions of the network work "upstream" of the activation of the stress response, showing that these proteins apparently "sense" the stress. In delineating how the network functions, Rosenberg and her colleagues identified specific pathways through which the proteins sense the environment and connected them to the molecular mechanism that promotes the mutations.
The findings reveal key factors about the cells, such as that stress-response regulators act as key network hubs, she said. Most of the proteins in the network deal with whether or not the cells feel stress, said Rosenberg.
"The cell devotes a large number of proteins to controlling the process that generates diversity," she said. "And most of them are sensing the environment and coupling mutagenesis to stress."
They have determined the function of about half the network and are working on the rest.
"It's a resounding confirmation of the regulation of mutagenesis by stress responses, which causes mutations specifically when cells are maladapted to their environment—when mutations might allow the cell to adapt," said Rosenberg.
It is also a demonstration that one can hope to detangle large protein networks into specific biological functions. Large protein networks are being discovered in many areas of biology, but what roles the proteins play in particular biological processes is often difficult to determine. Rosenberg's study shows that by working backwards from a defined molecular mechanism, they could assign roles to more than half the network proteins. Rosenberg thinks this strategy will be useful for many other protein networks.

The subway now under construction at the Lawrence Road level-crossing here is likely to be completed by July-end.
After taking unusually long time, a part of the structure has now surfaced at the level-crossing. Divisional Railway Manager (Tiruchi) Manjula Rangarajan, along with Senior Divisional Engineer K.Rajakuamr, inspected the progress of works on the subway recently.
The Southern Railway on its part would have to erect three "concrete boxes" that would form part of the subway directly under the railway track. Of these two boxes were already in place and the third one would soon be erected, she said.
"The construction wing of the Railways has been entrusted with the task of subway formation and by July- end the subway would be ready," the DRM said. Then, it would be the joint responsibility of the State Highways Department, the Cuddalore Municipality and the district administration to construct the road and to make lighting arrangements.
The level-crossing situated on the arterial Lawrence Road was closed for road traffic in December 2011.
It served as the gateway to the historically renowned temples such as Padaleeswarar Temple at Thirupadiripuliyur and Sri Devanatha Swamy Temple at Thiruvahindrapuram.
Above all, it is the commercial hub with thriving gold jewellery market that attracts heavy influx of customers from far off places. There is a widespread notion that the traders' lobby hampered the execution of the project by suggesting an "alternative route" which did not find any takers.
As things stand, it would take not less than a year for the subway to get ready, because only after the Southern Railway competes its task the State Highways Department could take up its works such as excavation of the soil for laying the road on either side of the subway," Mr Maruthavanan of the Federation of Cuddalore Residents' Welfare Association said.
Southern Railway clarifies

Sales of new homes rose more than expected last month to the highest level in more than a year as the housing market shows stability after its historic collapse.
WASHINGTON — Sales of new homes rose more than expected last month to the highest level in more than a year as the housing market shows stability after its historic collapse.
The Commerce Department says sales rose 6.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 430,000 from an upwardly revised 405,000 in September. Economists surveyed by Thomson Reuters had expected a pace of 410,000.
Home shoppers in October were acting before lawmakers decided to extend a tax credit for first-time buyers and expand it to existing homeowners. Nevertheless, sales were up 5.1 percent from a year ago, the first yearly increase since November 2005.
The median sales price of $212,200 was off 0.5 percent from $213,200 a year earlier, but up 0.7 percent from September's level of $210,700.

Halberstam and his family live three and a half blocks from Engine 40, Ladder 35, and he writes of these 13 men in such a loving and precise way that he could be describing members of his own clan. Deeply felt and emotional, Firehouse is a tribute to these decent, honorable, and heroic men and a celebration of their selflessness not only as firefighters but also as husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, and friends. --Shawn Carkonen
As always with Halberstam this is is very well written book.
Halberstam does a great job of personalizing the September 11, 2001 tragedy by the portrayal of 13 brave New York firefighters of Engine 40, Ladder 35.
For this reason alone, the book's mere 200 pages are well worth the short time it takes to read.

Volvo recalls 270 people at New River Valley plant
Volvo says it will be recalling about 270 people to its New River Valley Assembly Plant beginning the week of Sept. 6.
The recall will support a production ramp-up driven by increased orders, according to the company.
"In addition to some positive market trends, we believe the order increase is also being fueled by the very positive experience customers are having with our new EPA 2010-compliant trucks," Volvo says
The company also says it "has also been working very hard to get people behind the wheel of demonstrator trucks to show them first-hand the quality, performance, and productivity of these vehicles. Beyond meeting the most stringent emissions requirements in the world, the new Volvos are also delivering up to 5 percent better fuel economy than their predecessors."
In a special media announcement, Volvo noted that it publicized an order for 370 trucks from Knight Transportation back in February and an order for 600 from Penske Truck Leasing in May. "Beyond these orders, which we had permission from the customers to publicize, we're continuing to win significant orders from new customers that until now have not had Volvo trucks in their fleets," the company said in the media announcement.
A visit to the plant — which the company says is increasingly being used as a sales tool — has been a big part of bringing several customers to Volvo.
The NRV plant currently employs just more than 1,200 people.
This recall represents a staffing increase of about 23 percent.
Although Volvo doesn't publicly discuss its build rates, the company says "a recall of this size is in line with a significant increase in production."

GIVEN how much evil there is in the world; given how many signs of moral, intellectual and economic decline there are here in America; and given the increasing irrelevance of America to world events, it is fair to ask why the American left is preoccupied with the name Washington "Redskins."
The Washington Redskins have been in existence for 82 years. For about 80 of those years, virtually no one, including the vast majority of American Indians, was troubled by the name.
Yet, it is now of such importance to the American left that the majority leader of the US Senate has repeatedly demanded, from the floor of the US Senate, that the team drop its name; 50 US senators, all of them Democrats, have signed an open letter demanding the same; Sports Illustrated's Peter King no longer uses the name; other leading sportswriters have adopted the same practice; and the president of the US has weighed in on the issue.

New Vernon Davis a 49ers leader
Vernon Davis stepped behind the podium and, with an air of confidence and self-awareness, prepared himself for whatever might follow.
HOW THEY GOT HERERetrace the paths of the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers that got them this far.
He surely knew how this would go. Questions about how much he'd changed. About how much he'd grown. About how, exactly, he'd become the leader he is today — how he became the man who was more than the sum of his talent. Each question a compliment, yes, but each pointing toward a past that was far from complimentary.
"I changed my life around and I became more of a leader, because in the beginning it was all about me and that's not right," he said. "You don't want it to be all about you. I find it that, when it's more about the team and you put the team first, you have more success."
This was Vernon Davis at his best: Comfortable in his own skin, having a few days earlier hauled in "The Catch Three" to power the San Francisco 49ers to the NFC Championship Game Sunday against the New York Giants. This was the highly-touted tight end having traversed the route from underperforming talent to fully-realized leader in a few short years — a journey made possible because instead of changing his game he changed his outlook.
Drafted in 2006 with the sixth overall pick, Davis was graced with a contract that at the time made him the highest-paid tight end in football. His first two seasons were a study in mediocrity, 265- and 589-receiving yard totals that quantified the shortcoming of a player many saw as selfish and underperforming.
Then came 2008.
Davis' receiving yards for the season nosedived to 358, nearing his rookie season. He scored a career low two touchdowns — the same number he had this past Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
LET'S DO THISCan Alex Smith do the unthinkable and lead the Niners to the Super Bowl? Championship round preview.
The turning point — the moment when fate, anger, shame and self-awareness combined to create the Davis who scored those two touchdowns against New Orleans and the 180 receiving yards that accompanied them — came after catching a pass for a long completion and then doing something stupid.
Davis turned, slapped a Seattle Seahawks defender and was subsequently flagged for the play — and then banished to the locker room by then head-coach Mike Singletary.
"From that point on, I was ... I just kept my head up and just kept going down the straight path because I knew from there, from the talk that we had, I was going the wrong direction," Davis said.
"(Singletary) said to me, I can't remember what he said word for word, but it touched me," Davis said. "It touched me. But I do remember him saying that, 'Vernon, when you put the team first, then you'll start to take off.' So I did that, I did that. Since then, life has been really good."
This is one of the funny things about football, and the fine line between excellence and an early exit. Singletary, by almost every account, was the wrong guy to lead the Niners back to respectability and perhaps glory — as much as head coach Jim Harbaugh appears today to be the right guy.
But it's equally true that Singletary was the exact right guy for Vernon Davis at the exact right time. Singletary may have been a failed head coach in San Francisco, but he succeeded in reaching Davis. And that's had a lasting impact.
ROAD TO INDYThe Giants and Patriots will kick off Feb. 5 at 6:30 p.m. ET in Indianapolis for Super Bowl XLVI. Want more info?
"Very grateful, very grateful," Davis said of his former coach. "He was here at the right time. He was here at the right time, and the timing was perfect, couldn't have been better. I am very grateful that he was able to be here and help me make that transition."
The transition worked. In 2009, Davis' numbers jumped to 965 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns for the season. In 2010 and 2011 he had 914 and 792 receiving yards, respectfully, but also grew as a leader. He wasn't just the talented tight end. He was the talented tight end working overtime to be the right kind of teammate.
He let his emotion run to the positive side, channeling it into speeches and a visceral showing that he cared about his team — that they, and not just him — mattered.
"His leadership has been through actions," Harbaugh said. "It's been through support of other teammates. It's been through his willingness to contribute to the football team in ways that don't show up on the stats sheet. All those things are noticed by everybody. Everybody's antenna perceives that Vernon is a guy that's about us and not about himself."
Said Niners linebacker Patrick Willis: "The way Vernon has changed is, as any player would, the longer you play this game, the more you mature, the more you understand what things to do and what not to do. Vernon has certainly changed the way he was thinking. He's turned out to be the player we've always envisioned him being. I hope he continues to do that."
STARGAZINGEverybody loves the NFL, even celebrities. See A-list actors and recording artists on the sidelines.
It's fair to assume he will.
On Sunday, having just pulled in the touchdown that sealed the Niners' jaw-dropping comeback against the Saints, a little glory was in order. A little self-congratulations. A little boasting.
Instead, asked to compare his moment to the one in 1982 in which Joe Montana connected with Dwight Clark in the NFC championship game, Davis made it about ... what else?
About someone else.
"I don't know, I just made the play," he said of his own version of The Catch. "If it wasn't for Alex I could not have been able to make it happen. Alex, you are the man."
This is the new Vernon Davis, the one who in turn represents the new Niners: Selfless, together, unified and winning.
Asked to sum up his team in one or two words Thursday, Harbuagh said he would instead do it in six: "The team. The team. The team."
Those same six words could apply to just whom Vernon Davis, a changed man, has committed himself — and just why he's the emerging star who has helped his team to the verge of the Super Bowl.
