Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge
Date Listed:
Inventory No.:
North East Road (MD 272), Bay View, Cecil County
Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge spans North East Creek near the village of Bay View. It originally carried Nottingham Road, but was bypassed by the construction of MD Route 272 a short distance to the west (upstream). Constructed by contractor George Johnson in 1859-60, it is a Burr arch through truss structure. The bridge measures 119 feet in overall length, making it the longest surviving covered bridge in Maryland. The trusses consist of a series of twelve kingpost panels, with a pair of concentric timber arches fastened to the vertical members on both sides. The bridge rests on concrete abutments. The internal clear road width is 14 feet. Overhead clearance is approximately 13 feet. The bridge is capped with a gable roof covered in wood shingles; the exterior is clad in weatherboard siding which terminates below the eave line to allow light into the bridge. Horizontal window openings appear in both side walls, at mid-span. Just below the bridge, North East Creek drops 106 feet over Gilpin's Falls, named for Samuel Gilpin, a distant relative of the Washington family, who acquired extensive land holdings in Cecil County in the early 1730s. Gilpin harnessed the Falls' power to operate a grist and saw mill; in later years, a woolen mill and hydroelectric plant occupied the site. A dam breast, sluice, and foundation walls survive from these enterprises, located a short distance below the bridge. The Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge was closed to vehicular traffic in the early 1930s. Roofing and siding were replaced in 1958-59 following storm damage. Ownership was transferred to the Board of County Commissioners for Cecil County from the Maryland State Highway Administration in 1987. An engineering study in 1997 revealed significant deflection and side sway and advanced deterioration and insect infestation of the timbers, and the bridge was subsequently closed to pedestrian use. A comprehensive restoration is planned.
The Gilpin's Falls Covered Bridge is architecturally significant as it exemplifies the type of structure patented by Theodore Burr of Connecticut in 1817. In Burr's design, a series of king-post trusses was combined with a long wooden arch, a combination which resulted in a stronger bridge. Single king posts had been used since the Middle Ages for short crossings. Nineteenth-century bridge builders learned to combine a series of structural triangles into a unified span. In Burr's truss, the arch, upper chord, and the diagonals act under compression; the vertical members and lower chord act under tension. A gable roof and weatherboard siding protected the structural members from deterioration by exposure to weather. The Gilpin's Falls bridge is one of only six covered bridges surviving in Maryland, and one of two located in Cecil County. A ubiquitous form in the latter 19th century--some 50 covered bridges are said to have existed in Harford County alone--the covered timber bridge was quickly superseded by metal and , later, concrete structures which were invulnerable to rot, insects, and fire. Maryland's surviving covered bridges include four Burr-truss structures: Gilpin's Falls, Fair Hill, Jerusalem/Jericho (1865), and Utica (c. 1860). The other two were constructed without Burr's reinforcing arch: Loys Station (c. 1865) is a multiple king-post truss, and Roddy Road (c. 1860) is a shorter span with a single king-post truss. At 119 feet in length, it is the longest remaining wooden covered bridge in Maryland.

I am just home from a preternaturally awesome conference in Los Angeles, CA called Farmhouse. I've been to a lot of conferences and as a whole, I tend to enjoy them although the exhaust me. MomentemCon in Washington D.C. was a marvelous affair and I think I shall always file it as my first big family reunion of sex positive feminism and its cousins, second cousins, in-laws, and maybe even a few party crashers, too. I learned a lot and had many a tremendous moment and I was also very much in my comfort bubble.
One of the reasons why I agreed to speak at this crazy little thing called Farmhouse was because it wasn't but it sounded like a cool idea that I could get behind. I wanted to meet the kind of person who looks out at their backyard in Hollywood, CA with a massive avocado tree casting a fruitful canopy across the space and could see a bunch of people getting together to break down walls and rocks in their brains at a conference. At the same time, I didn't really think I fit into a very tech-centric conference in Los Angeles. That's my home town and one that I left because I never felt like I belonged in it. I was intimidated by speaking with a tech satellite event and tangled complicated knots about coming back to old haunts of social and cultural incompetency.
I've put a lot of personal work into not running away from things like that. Anxiety is a motherfucker and L.A. gives me a lot of it. That's the place that civilized me, by and large, produced those early fundamental experiential moments that are etched so indelibly into your brain you take them utterly for granted. Moreover, I literally did grow up in L.A. underneath two large avocado trees that were very likely cross-pollinated over the century they have grown in such a relatively close proximity quite accessible by the L.A. public transit system. These were ideas that ran through my head as I rode a train from Oakland to L.A. Union Station over the course of 12 hours.
Farmhouse was the best conference I think I've ever been to and the realization of this hit me in one of those rare and precious times where happiness is a full body experience. Everyone filters the world into something we can navigate. Asking what "reality" looks like is just like asking what the internet looks like. The way the internet looks and interacts with you has a lot to do with with what you're running, the hardware and the software and the experiences both have had since they first powered on and started to take a look at this universe that humans have created. If you're a running a committed and positive, "I'm going to get something personally valuable out of this experience," personal web browser, you're going to see that which is personally valuable. Part of confronting my anxiety issues was recognizing the kind of project I was going to do and making conscious software decisions that would help facilitate my optimum user experience. I made a choice to stay committed to positivity and listening to people and staying as open as possible to their ideas without letting my very unhelpful anxiety corrupt my network and limit my experience.

text: Families usually like vacations during the summer time months of the year. Not a lot of winter vacations ever get planned. There are a number of folks who will make long trips during the winter for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. In most cases, families will be taking a lot of items with them on these family trips, so they normally don't choose to fly. Driving becomes the best option for visiting family members during the holidays. A van or recreational vehicle are a couple of common choices a family will choose to drive, for these long winter trips. If the weather is cold in late November or December, you don't want to be stuck on the side of the road, waiting on rv repairs. It is best to take care of all the tune ups and oil changes, before you head on these long distant trips in the winter time. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and a rotation and tire balance is not a bad idea either. Anything we can do to avoid breakdowns on the Interstate highways, will help to make these cold travels a lot more safer for our families. I hope you and your family all reach your Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday destinations safely. It's never fun breaking down on the road and it is even dangerous; when these breakdowns occur during the cold winter months.

Sell In May? Maybe Not This Year
By Yale Bock
The Concentrated GARP portfolio had a poor month of returns in February as the model lost 3.7%, net of fees, for the month, while the S&P 500 Index (SPX) rose 2.6%. The distinct aspect of this portfolio is focused on companies which we believe are in a good position to grow.
A big part of investing is handling periods of time when your portfolio does not perform or does nothing. In fact, those two situations are usually the norm with investing. However, what happens is after a long while of doing nothing, or worse, your portfolio can have a good week or month, and your returns go from below average or average to very good. So hanging in there is crucial for investing success, just like in other dimensions of life.
We are quickly approaching "Sell in May, and go Away," the dominant mantra of the last few years during this time in year. So far, that approach has not worked. With the economic tailwinds of low interest rates, a recovery in housing, and lower energy costs and higher energy production, a flipped macroeconomic situation in the United States makes owning stocks a little more palatable.
Gigamedia (GIGM) The company reported a loss again on April 11, 2013, but said it will be operationally profitable next quarter. The company continues to emphasize the new Gigacloud based business, but the rest of the year will determine how that proceeds.
Digital Globe (DGI) is a satellite provider of commercial earth imagery and information services. Digital Globe closed its acquisition of competitor Geoeye.
Corelogic (CLGX) is an information provider which specializes in data about real estate related industries. A large part of their data centers on property and mortgage information services. In addition, they provide credit information in a variety of industries as well. The company raised and updated its guidance for 2013
Cass Information Systems (CASS) provides information, invoice, and payment processing services to a wide variety of enterprises in the United States. Cass also has a small banking division as well. The company reported earnings in line with expectations.
Dolby Laboratories (DLB) provides audio and video products for the entertainment industry on a global scale. Much of the company's revenue comes from licensing its technologies on personal computers, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
In addition, the company makes sound systems for a wide variety of customers, from movie studios, theatres, and network and satellite television providers. The company reported earnings which were better than expected estimates:
Jamba Juice (JMBA) is a health food and beverage retailer with a presence in 26 states domestically, as well as operations in Canada, the Philippines, and South Korea.
Cash America (CSH) is the largest operator of pawn shops in the United States. The company reported solid fourth quarter 2012 earnings and announced a buyback.
Build A Bear Workshop (BBW) is a provider of build your own teddy bears for small children. A value based play on a stock which has been decimated and is dirt cheap. The company pre announced fourth quarter 2012 earnings and the CEO is announcing her retirement. The balance sheet is strong with 45 million in cash and no debt.

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer ES Review
Engine has potential given you can find mods and money, suspension is best Ive felt in a while. You actually feel sorry for the other guy if involved in a Car acciedent.
Mechanical is a little lacking, cost a little more then the car to repair
Economic Grocery Hauler — What can I say when Mitsu says economy they mean it. Out of the Three Mitsubishi Cars Ive owned this one breaks on me more than I would like it to. Ive already had to replace the clutch twice, and I have to replace the Cat converter, fix the A/C , replace break clips, amongst other wear and tear items. On the plus side it is a beautiful white, mitsu never skimps on paint. As always a little low on the HP but makes up for it in torque so launching is a specialty, and the suspension is well set up for a econo car. I can enter and hold corners faster then most people on the road, or maybe thats because Im one crazy SOB!!!

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer ES Review
it has a tendency to spin out in the rain
Awesome — awesome car very quick for the ES lancer in my opinion very good handling along as its dry good for racing and flying around corners all in all i would say this car is an amazing piece of machinery and would recommend it to any one
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Review
Decent overall power and good torque.
Cant really think of one.
Good Car As A Daily Driver, Works Great With Future Mods. — This car is a nice car. The power is decent from stock, but the torque makes up for the lack of power. The gear ratio is nice and tight often times makes me wish I had a 6th gear. Handles the corners like a champ for a FWD. This RA still sits in the shadow of its bigger brother the Evo.
Primary Use: Family transportation

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart Review
awesome handling
heavy and bulky :(
Ultimate Street Car — fun to drive, good acceleration, little bit underpowered when compared to other rivals, really good handling... it will stick on to the road no matter how sharp the corner is... interiors are outdated.. maintenance is less but fuel consumption is not great... especillay when you rev it hard....
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer O-Z Rally Review
Red Bull Stock — Lancer is an economic and environment friendly car. Its petrol driven. Acceleration and braking on dubai roads is quite exiting. Parts are easily available. its just AED 40000.00 Its just for a high output amplifier and a 6 cd changer.
Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

fast for its power
Awesome Second Car — its a small sedan with some zip to it easy to modify and very reliable 162 horse 162 torque 0-60 in 8 seconds at best(stock) low center of gravity easily maneuverable good fuel economy a lot of trunk space and very fun to drive
Primary Use: Commuting to work

2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Review
Ultra smooth gear changes with no jerks and the car can adapt to your driving style!
less resale than other vehicles
Extremely Reliable In All Aspects! — Likes: 1)INVECS-III CVT sport gearbox 2)Air conditioning 3)Rear head room since my head touches the roof of civic 02-06. 4)More advanced suspension as compared to competing vehicles. It has a coiled spring Multi-link Suspension which is tuned to handle the car superbly and provide relief from bumps simultaneously! Dislikes: 1)Once you drive it, it doesn't leave anything to dislike!!!!!!
Primary Use: Family transportation

Primary Use: Commuting to work

If you're already participating in or thinking about a new payment model, you've probably seen that the pundits insist you must have a full IT infrastructure in place before you push the button on these initiatives. Whether it's a Medicare accountable care organization (ACO), bundled payment, an ACO-like arrangement for a payer's Medicare Advantage or commercial business, or even your own self-funded employee health plan, following this advice could mean IT investment requirements of $2.0 to $20.0 million.
It's enough to make you reconsider participation. Fortunately, there are simpler and less expensive ways to address immediate IT needs for these programs. You don't have to take on implementation of a major IT infrastructure solution to identify opportunities for improvement, manage value-based contracts, and monitor financial performance. The early rounds of the new payment models offer upside-only options (e.g., Track 1 of the Medicare Shared Savings Program) that significantly mitigate risk. These options give you time to ramp up your infrastructure incrementally, investing less now, while preparing for the more significant financial exposure that will inevitably come with the next round of payment deals.
Your most important first step is to master the data. Without clean, reliable, and integrated data, the best IT solution out there is worthless. Once your "data house" is in order, you can prepare for that perfect population health management solution, matching the investment to your degree of financial exposure. By that time, the IT solution market will have shaken out, pricing will stabilize, and unfulfilled promises should be a thing of the past.
Medicare, the health plans, and third-party administrators (TPAs) provide ACOs and participants in the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Initiative (BPCII) with claims data. This data can be scrubbed and integrated with cost, quality, and other data from legacy systems to produce a robust database. Coupled with relatively affordable but still powerful reporting and analytic tools, this type of solution is all you need to monitor and manage financial performance. It enables you to understand how you are doing along the way, month to month, quarter to quarter, long before reconciliation with Medicare or the payer.
This approach also will help you answer important questions to inform and help you prioritize improvement initiatives—a necessary capability during a three- to five-year ramp-up to that eventual "financial risk" tipping point. You'll be able to answer questions like:
You will have what you need to really understand the financial implications at the patient, physician, practice, hospital, or regional level. A robust population health solution can be the goal once the concept is proven, but in the meantime, you can keep your finger on the pulse of all of your value-based payments without losing your shirt.
So the IT issue should not scare you off; strategic and physician engagement considerations probably carry more weight. Invest wisely, step by step.

What's new on WUOG? Strangest collab of the year, Helium/Autoclave/Wild Flag's Mary Timony's newest band and a buncha Canadian garage punks!
What's new on WUOG? Strangest collab of the year, Helium/Autoclave/Wild Flag's Mary Timony's newest band and a buncha Canadian garage punks!
During an annual fundraiser for their radio station, two student DJs at California Polytechnic State University's KCPR offered to send pictures of their genitals over Snapchat in exchange for cash donations. Whether meant as a joke or not, the university's administration was not pleased.
The station was labeled "rogue" and complaints about lack of oversight and professionalism on KCPR surfaced. A faculty member even had her name removed from the station's FCC license, and administration began devising a panel to oversee changes in the station.
All of these moves could have been expected from the raucous fundraiser exploits, but one note from the Dean of the Liberal Arts College struck a different chord.
"I am beginning to believe that we should sell the radio license (we have had an offer)," said Douglas Epperson in an email obtained by CalCoastNews.
If you tune into WUOG you might hear the latest from Texas post-rockers This Will Destroy You and California dance-poppers Lemonade. Both albums have blue covers, so this article is visually pleasing.
This Will Destroy You – Another Language
Many have heard of Texas post-rock band Explosions in the Sky. Their atmospheric sound has made it into the hit TV show (and movie) "Friday Night Lights", bringing music lovers' attention to the Texas Post-Rock scene. Although Explosions in the Sky is usually the headliner when talking about this style of music, San Marcos, TX quartet This Will Destroy You is revolutionizing the scene. The biggest difference is that most post-rock bands such as Explosions in the Sky will follow the same formula for each song: Intro, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action. This Will Destroy You was also guilty of following this set formula, but they seem to have break away from it in their latest record Another Language.
TWDY have been active since 2004 and they have come a long way in developing their sound. This record seems to realize the emotional effect certain sounds can evoke in a person's mind. The band strays from using strictly guitar with delay pedals and pounding drums, focusing more on layering sounds and recognizing their effect on the listener. In tracks such as "Mother Opiate" the drums only use brushes to capture the hazy nature of opiates, while the spacey minor key offers a tone of depression and loss to the whole mix. The album ends with "God's Teeth", a track that I listened to constantly over and over again. The guitar swells drone in the back while a piano offers a progression that is calming. While that fades away, there are more sounds that come in offering the listener a pushing and pulling feeling, much like the internal struggle of someone struggling with faith, or someone on their deathbed. The song fades to black at the end, offering an eerie solace. This album is the perfect example of how music itself can speak so much to the soul. I highly recommend This Will Destroy You's Another Language.
-Shubham Kadam
Lemonade – Minus Tide
This album by Lemonade provides the perfect synthesis between heavy electric beats and muted dance music. The vocals are harmonic and follow nicely with the instrumentals, creating a smooth synth pop experience for the listener. Sampling sexy saxophone for their ballads and heavy drums for the dance numbers Minus Tide is an extremely versatile album. The lyrics are the true gem. while dance music focuses on the beat and lyrics can fall by the wayside, that is not the case with Lemonade's Minus Tide, as they combine inspirational lyrics with their tunes. The 80's inspired vocals mesh well with the modern electronic beats, especially with softer songs such as "Durutti Shores," providing pleasing hazy sounds, while "Water Colored visions" shows the lyrical capability of the band and the more dance music inspired "OST" allows for a high energy ending.
-Isabella Ballew
We have two featured albums that went into rotation this week, the soundtrack from twee king Stewart Murdoch's new film and the latest from garage king Ty Segall.
Stewart Murdoch – God Help the Girl
The soundtrack for Stewart Murdoch's debut film is everything you'd expect from the frontman of Belle & Sebastian. God Help The Girl embodies all the twee charm of the Scottish indie band, but instead of the signature pipes of Stewart Murdoch, actors Emily Browning and Olly Alexander, amongst other actors, dominate the soundtrack. God Help The Girl follows a coming age story of three young adults: Eve, James, and Cassie. To cope with their own personal struggles, the trio strives for musical success with their band God Help The Girl. The soundtrack is made up of musical numbers from the film interspersed with instrumental pieces and dialogue between the characters. God Help The Girl is upbeat and fun with tracks like "I Dumped You First", "God Help The Girl", and slower and mellow with "Act Of The Apostle" and "Baby's Just Waiting". Overall, God Help The Girl is warm and whimsical, highlighting the best songwriting talents of Belle & Sebastian.
reviewed by Anna Anderson
Ty Segall – Manipulator
Ty Segall's seventh album, Manipulator, has a very clear psychedelic influence while still highlighting Segall's garage rock roots. The album is a departure from Segall's usual chaotic sound, leaving behind most of the fuzz of his previous work. The guitar use in Manipulator has a definite 70s influence and has a much more clear sound than his last albums. The focus of this album lies in the instrumentation rather than the lyrics of any of the songs, as do most of his previous albums. Manipulator sounds as if it was plucked out of the 70s and dipped in a bath of garage rock.

Going underground: London's disused tube stations
A gallery of images celebrating the history of the London Underground
CommentsAdd +
As the construction of Crossrail changes London's underground roadmap for good, take a look back at parts of the underground transport infrastructure and subterranean spaces as they were back in the black-and-white days.
Wood Lane Station
© London Transport Museum
Wood Lane station has had three incarnations. Separate stations were opened on the Central and Metropolitan Lines to serve the Franco-British exhibition and the Olympics in 1908. Intended as temporary stations, they closed in 1947 and 1959 respectively.

The third Wood Lane station, the first station to be built on an existing line in 70 years, was opened in 2008 on the Hammersmith and City Line to service the Westfield London shopping centre. The old Central Line station is under the site of Westfield's bus station. The old platforms can still be seen on westbound journeys from White City.
York Road station
© London Transport Museum
Ever wondered why the journey time between Caledonian Road and King's Cross is so long? York Road station, which lies between them, was opened in 1906 but due to its location, in an industrial area, passenger volume was low and the station was deemed financially unviable. It closed in 1932.

During the recent regeneration of King's Cross, a feasibility study was carried out to look at reopening York Road station but the ratio of capital expenditure to potential passengers was considered too high. Today, passing westbound from Caledonian Road, you can glimpse the purple and cream tiles that still adorn the station walls.
Kingsway tram tunnel
© London Transport Museum
Opened in 1906, this tunnel was built to link the north and south tram networks and ran under Kingsway, from Southampton Row to Embankment. In the '30s it was deepened to accommodate double-decker trams. With the growing popularity of the car, the central London tram system became redundant and the tunnel was shut in 1952.

Today, the tram lines can still be seen at the north entrance to the tunnel on Southampton Row. The disused tunnel was used by the GLC as a flood-control centre before the Thames Barrier became operational in 1982. And in 2009 the tunnel hosted British artist Conrad Shawcross's huge site-specific installation, 'Chord'.
Mail Rail

Although not part of the underground network, the Mail Line provided a vital service for Londoners. Speeding up the movement of post around the city, the line was opened for deliveries in 1927. It ran from Paddington Head District Sorting Office to the Eastern Head District Sorting office in Whitechapel via eight sorting office stations.The driverless trains were finally taken out of service in 2003 as a cost-saving measure.
Goodge Street bomb shelter
© Abigail Lelliott
Though not strictly part of the transport network, this deep-level air-raid shelter was one of eight built under already tube stations. It was used by Eisenhower in his role as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe during WWII. By 1956 the shelter was abandoned and it is now leased by a secure archive firm. At one point it housed recordings of the entire output of Channel 4, whose offices were nearby on Charlotte Street. The main cylindrical entrance at surface level can be found on Chenies Street, off Tottenham Court Road.
Aldwych station
© London Transport Museum
This is probably one of the most familiar disused stations because its façade is still visible at street level. Initially called Strand, the station opened in 1907 but its name was changed to Aldwych in 1915. Many Londoners fled to safety here as the bombs fell on the city in WWII. Up to 177,000 people took shelter in London Underground stations.

British Museum station

The entrance to this station was situated on the eastern corner of Bloomsbury Court. When the interchange at Holborn with the Piccadilly Line was completed, the station was deemed obsolete and it closed in 1933. Afterwards there were stories of the station being haunted by the ghost of an ancient Egyptian. Although the station building has been demolished, the tiled walls can still be seen on the Central Line journey between Tottenham Court Road and Holborn.

Today the site is occupied by a new building housing a building society and a pancake restaurant.
Down Street station
© London Transport Museum
This disused station tucked away on a side street off Piccadilly was closed in 1932 (the residents of Mayfair weren't really the type to take the tube). During WWII the station was reappointed to serve as Churchill's bunker until the Cabinet War Rooms were finished. The station housed a telephone exchange, bedrooms, dining rooms and a kitchen.

Today the station ticket office is occupied by a newsagent.
Brompton Road station
© London Transport Museum
To speed up the service, trains often didn't stop at this short-lived station, rattling straight through to a shout of 'Passing Brompton Road'. It closed in 1934 due to low passenger numbers as people preferred to use the busier stations of South Kensington and Knightsbridge. During WWII the station housed the anti-aircraft control centre.

Today this side part of the station facade can still be seen on Cottage Place (off Brompton Road) and the building is still administered by the MoD.
King William Street station
© London Transport Museum
The oldest abandoned tube station is King William Street, which was closed in 1900 when the better appointed Bank station opened. The site was demolished in 1933 and No 46 King William Street was sold for redevelopment. It was replaced by an office block called Regis House; today the site is occupied by a more recent building of the same name. The underground space is used for storage.

Wood Lane station has had three incarnations. Separate stations were opened on the Central and Metropolitan Lines to serve the Franco-British exhibition and the Olympics in 1908. Intended as temporary stations, they closed in 1947 and 1959 respectively.

Senator Charles Schumer had some strong words for Russian President Vladimir Putin the day after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down.
"One way or the other, sadly, it looks like President Putin has blood on his hands," Schumer said. "There's only one bit of good that can come out of this tragedy. The one bit of good that can come out of this tragedy is if Mr. Putin realizes that he's playing with fire."
Schumer said Russia should join the U.S and Western Europe in working for a free and democratic Ukraine.
Schumer linked the incident to what he considers the ongoing problem of Russian aggression.
"Putin should learn his lesson and immediately stop arming the separatists, encouraging them, and mobilizing troops at his border to threaten a free Ukraine," Schumer said.
President Barack Obama said at least one American citizen was killed when the plane was shot down in Eastern Ukraine.
He's calling for a cease-fire in the area and an international investigation.
Obama said a missile fired from an area controlled by pro-Russian separatists brought down the plane, which was carrying nearly 300 people.
He also said Russia has been supporting the rebels with arms, training and anti-aircraft missiles.
The president is blaming Russia, saying it's failing to take a path to peace in the region, but he cautioned against drawing conclusions before a United Nations Security Council investigation is complete.
"We're working with the entire international community to make sure that the focus is on getting to the bottom of this things and being truthful," Obama said. "And my concern, obviously, is that there's been a lot of misinformation generated in Eastern Ukraine generally. This should snap everybody's heads to attention and make sure that we don't have time for propaganda, we don't have times for games. We need to know exactly what happened, and everybody needs to make sure that we're holding accountable those who committed this outrage."
Obama called Ukraine's president from Air Force One Thursday.
On Friday, he offered the services of the FBI and the National Transportation Safety Board to help the investigation.

PR Disaster: Notre Dame Star Manti Te'o's Fake Dead Girlfriend
It was every sports journalist's dream story: Promising college senior, Heisman trophy runner-up and near-certain first round NFL draft pick Manti Te'o suffers the deaths of his grandmother and his beautiful, supportive girlfriend within 24 hours–just before dominating the field in his team's upset victory and continuing his streak as one of the nation's most promising college football players. His heartbreaking tale of grief and victory quickly spreads beyond the world of sports.
One problem, though: it wasn't true.
Deadspin broke the astonishing story yesterday as a web of complex lies promoted by some of our most respected publications began to unravel and the damage control campaign began.
A summary for those who haven't been following: Manti Te'o is a gifted football player and devout Mormon from Hawaii who claimed, via his Twitter feed and various public statements, to have developed a relationship with a woman known as Lennay Kekua who he supp0sedly met after a 2009 game between Stanford and his team, Notre Dame. She had a Twitter account with which Te'o frequently interacted, expressing his love and encouraging his fans to follow her sister (both fake accounts were later deleted).
Then came the news that, right after the (real) death of Manti's beloved grandmother last September, Kekua passed away from leukemia approximately a month after suffering a serious car accident. Manti doesn't attend her funeral because she had insisted that he not miss a game. South Bend Tribune fleshed out the story through interviews with Te'o before Sports Illustrated, ESPN, CBS, the New York Post, The Associated Press and pretty much everybody else in the media world reported on it. Someone set up a charity in Kekua's name. Manti Te'o was an American classic: the tragic hero.
And then things began to fall apart.

Nargaroth is a German black metal solo project. Although Nargaroth is a one man band, René "Kanwulf" Wagner is supported by session musicians such as Akhenaten of black metal band Judas Iscariot (both are supposed to be the members of black metal band Torrent), Occulta Mors of "Moonblood" and one man band "Nachtfalke" as well as "Seeds of Hate" drummer L'hiver (also known as Winterblut).
300px|thumb|right|Cover of 1999 album Herbestleyd
According to Kanwulf, Nargaroth was formed in 1989, but due to contradictory statements of Kanwulf, this date is disputed, as well as the release of the seven track instrumental demo Orke in 1991. It is supposed that this demo was actually released in 1999; the demo Herbstleyd, which Kanwulfs claims to be released in 1993, was probably not released before this date. Nargaroth's first album Herbstleyd was released by No Colours Records in 1999, followed in 2000 by Amarok, which is not an album but a re-release of old recordings, as well as the controversial demo Fuck Off Nowadays Black Metal,...

Morton 0-1 Hamilton: Match Report - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game as it happened.
Morton slip to defeat
Morton's eight-match unbeaten run came to an end with a 1-0 defeat at home to Hamilton.
The away side had won just once all season before kick-off but Steven May's first-half goal gave them the three points.
May collected Jonathon Routledge's pass in the 21st minute and fired in a low 20-yard drive into the bottom right-hand corner.
The visitors were denied a second by a fantastic save by Derek Gaston, after May had headed Alister Crawford's right-wing free-kick goalwards.
Morton pressed for an equaliser and Scott Taggart's fierce effort from the edge of the area forced Kevin Cuthbert into a good save.
As the game entered stoppage-time Michael Tidser was denied an equaliser as Cuthbert held his low shot from the edge of the area.

Dean Stockwell
(Actor -
Quantum Leap; Battlestar Galactica; Married to the Mob; Blue Velvet; Air Force One; Paris, Texas; JAG
Dean Stockwell is an American actor of film and television, with a career spanning over 65 years. As a child actor under contract to MGM he first came to the publics attention in films such as Anchors Aweigh and The Green Years; as a young adult he played a lead role in the 1957 Broadway and 1959 screen adaptations of Meyer Levins Compulsion, a novel based on the true-life story of Leopold and Loeb.
More recently he became widely known for television roles, playing Rear Admiral Albert Al Calavicci in the 19891993 television series Quantum Leap, and Brother Cavil in the Sci Fi Channel 21st century revival of Battlestar Galactica.
Stockwell was born Robert Dean Stockwell in North Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, the younger son of Nina Olivette, an actress and dancer, and Harry Stockwell, an actor and singer. His elder brother was actor Guy Stockwell.
In 1945, he appeared in a main character role (Donald Martin) in the musical movie Anchors Aweigh alongside Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. Some of his other notable child roles included that of Robert Shannon in The Green Years (1946), Gregory Pecks son in Gentlemans Agreement (1947), and as Lionel Barrymores grandson and Richard Widmarks protege in Down to the Sea in Ships (1949). He also starred in the lead role of the film The Boy with Green Hair in 1948, and in a film adaptation of The Secret Garden in 1949. In 1950, he appeared in a lead role alongside Errol Flynn in Kim, the film of Rudyard Kiplings novel of the same name.
Unlike many child actors, he continued to act past his teenage years. In 1957, he starred as Judd Steiner in the Broadway adaptation of Compulsion, based on the Leopold and Loeb story; he played the same role in the 1959 film adaptation Compulsion. Compulsion also starred Bradford Dillman and Orson Welles as the Clarence Darrow-based lawyer Jonathan Wilk. In 1958, he joined Gloria Talbott and Dan Blocker as guest stars in the episode Mercyday of the NBC western series The Restless Gun, starring John Payne.
In 1960, he played coal miners son Paul Morel in the British film Sons and Lovers, an American actor cast as an Englishman, working alongside Trevor Howard and Wendy Hiller. In 1961, Stockwell appeared in the premiere episode of ABCs Bus Stop series, which starred Marilyn Maxwell. In 1962, he appeared in an adaptation of Eugene ONeills play Long Days Journey Into Night along with Katharine Hepburn, Ralph Richardson and Jason Robards. In 1964, Stockwell guest-starred in an episode of NBCs medical drama The Eleventh Hour.
In the early 1960s, Stockwell dropped out of show business, becoming active in the hippie subculture.
Stockwell appeared in a 1969 episode of Bonanza as a down-and-out former Union soldier. He then appeared in two episodes of the mystery series Columbo. In 1973, he was the leading actor in a horror B-film called The Werewolf of Washington. Stockwell played Jack Whittier, a reporter who had an affair with the daughter of the U.S. President and is sent to Hungary. There he is bitten by a werewolf, and then gets transferred back to Washington, D.C., where he gets a job as the press secretary to the President. During the mid-1970s Stockwell worked as a real-estate broker.
In 1984, he appeared in Wim Wenders critically acclaimed film Paris, Texas, and in that same year, in David Lynchs film version of Dune as Wellington Yueh. The following year he turned in a brief but significant role as attorney Bob Grimes in William Friedkins To Live and Die in L.A. In 1986, Stockwell made an appearance in another Lynch production, the neo-noir thriller Blue Velvet. In 1988, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as Mafia boss Tony the Tiger Russo in the comedy Married to the Mob. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on February 29, 1992 (Leap Day) following the success of Quantum Leap.
Along with Jack Lemmon and Marcello Mastroianni, Stockwell won the award for best actor at the Cannes Film Festival twice, for Compulsion and Long Days Journey Into Night.
Stockwell joined the cast of Battlestar Galactica starting with its second season finale, portraying what became the lead antagonist, Cylon John Cavil.

The restaurant's kitchen is spearheaded by Franck Lamache, an executive chef who has worked in Michelin-starred restaurants such as Les Ambassadeurs and Le Taillevent in Paris. The menu is purely French: we highly recommend the lamb stew with green beans – a hearty, flavourful dish – and the foie gras with smooth and creamy terrine and sweet onion and apple chutney.

If you are in the market for something a little more casual, we recommend La Vie En Rose. Set in a converted house that was abandoned for 15 years, the place looks rustic but quaint with buffed concrete floors and chandeliers. White tablecloth covered tables, vases of lilies and a secluded air create a very romantic vibe making it the perfect Valentine's Day dinner date venue.
The classic yet creative French food is exceptional: standouts include the pan-fried foie gras, truffled mashed potatoes and coq au vin. Their 2013 Valentine Day's Special includes separate menus for men and women: there are duck confit springrolls for 'her' and marinated Petuna trout and veal roulade for 'him'.
Opening Hours: 12:00 – 14:00 and 18:30 Tuesday – Sunday

Located along Changkat Bukit Bintang, Frangipani is no stranger to Kuala Lumpur's nightlife scene. Listed in Malaysian Tatler's 2011 Best Restaurant Guide, the place looks like a black-tie James Bond movie dining scene with cream, linen-covered tables surrounding a reflecting black pool with white Raj-like columns.
The chic lounge upstairs is best known to tourists as one of the city's only gay-friendly bars, but come Valentine's Day the fine-dining restaurant downstairs far outshines the bar. This year Frangipani's special Valentine's Day seven-course French dinner is perfect for those after a real foodie Valentine's night – it is culinary art at its best. Read More...

Easily one of Kuala Lumpur's most romantic restaurants, Prime at Le Meridian Hotel KL is a good choice for a low-key, candlelit dinner (especially if you are not too keen on French food). Their selection of steaks from Australia, Japan, Argentina and USA coupled with the elegant ambiance, makes it clear why they were the winners of Time Out KL's Best Fine Dining Restaurant Award in 2012. Looking a lot like an art-deco European bistro, this year Prime is offering a five-course Valentine's Day set menu.
Opening Hours: 12:30 – 14:30; 18:30 – 23:00
Address: Level 5, Le Meridien Kuala Lumpur, 2 Jalan Stesen Sentral

Located in a pre-war terraced house nearby Changkat Bukit Bintang, Palate Palette is divided into a lounge (upstairs) and restaurant (downstairs). The place is like something out of a fairytale with shady trees, pebbled walkways, flowers and lots of colourful tables and chairs.
The perfect place for a fun, flirty Valentine's Day night out, their 'Love & Peace Set Dinner' on February 14 is very affordable at RM165++ per couple. You get a choice of either herb-crusted rib-eye steak with balsamic vinegar or crispy salmon with grapefruit dressing: dessert is a glazed chocolate tart with whipped cream. Read More...

Cheesy Polenta and the Challenge
Want to know why I didn't post dinner last night? It's because I was too busy doing this:
Laying out in the grass enjoying the marvelous unAugust-esque weather. Oh yeah, I also may have been retreating from the three flea bombs going off in our apartment. But mostly enjoying the weather. Let's not talk about the fleas, it'll send me into an itching fit.
Since we were without kitchen for nearly three hours, I made sure to pack us a nice picnic.
Moving onto more recent meals. While trying to crunch our pre-vacation budget (we are renting a house on Lake Michigan next month), I found that we really need to tighten our belt in order to have the kind of vacation we want. So that means it is challenge time.
Yup. We are going to try to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 20 days on only $40. We have our weekly CSA share, a garden and a well-stocked freezer, so I think we can do it. We typically spend $150 per week on groceries. So for nearly three weeks, that would be a $410 reduction! Now that is a nice chunk of change to take on vacation with us.
We are going to try to stick to our food philosophies as much as possible, but obviously we may have to make some concessions (buying $5.99 a gallon organic milk is the first one that comes to mind).
I have NO problem with having food be a large portion of income. In fact, I think as a whole, Americans spend too little on food. But for this short period of time, and with the bounty of summer, I truly believe we can still eat real food on the cheap. And I'm taking you along with us. Plus, I think it is a fun challenge!
The 20 Days/40 Dollars/60 Meals Challenge officially starts tomorrow, but I whipped up a test dinner tonight with some pantry and fridge diving. I do well at adapting recipes to suit my taste, but I rarely venture into mixing up my own recipes. Tonight I did and it was fantastic! I'm feeling more confident in my recipe-creation skills and I hope this challenge brings it out in me more.
Parmesan Polenta with Roasted Summer Veggies and Vodka Cream Sauce
It should be noted that I've never made vodka cream sauce before, so this may or may not resemble the actual stuff. It has vodka and cream in it, so I figure that's a good start.
Roasted Summer Veggies
1 yellow summer squash, sliced into half discs
1 zucchini, sliced into half discs
1 bell pepper (any color), sliced into thin strips
1/2 c. cherry tomatoes
Olive Oil
3 c. chicken broth
1 T. butter
1 c. cornmeal (polenta)
1/4 c. grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper
Vodka Cream Sauce
1 T. olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. diced onion
2 c. diced tomatoes (whatever is fresh and sweet)
1/3 c. vodka
1/2 c. half and half
1/4 c. fresh basil, chopped
2 T. fresh oregano, chopped
Salt and Pepper
Preheat oven to 450°.
Arrange veggies in a single layer on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes, or until all veggies are soft and browned.
While veggies are roasting, begin polenta by bringing broth and butter to boil over high heat in a medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in cornmeal. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes until thick, stirring frequently. Finish by stirring in Parmesan and seasoning with salt and pepper.
While polenta is cooking, heat olive oil over medium heat in a pan. Add garlic and onion and cook until just translucent. Add diced tomatoes and let simmer until liquid of tomatoes is reduced, about 10 minutes. Stir in vodka and let cook 2-3 more minutes. Add cream, basil, oregano and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook until just warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
Serve by layering veggies over polenta and pouring vodka cream sauce over top. Makes four small portions, or two portions for hearty eaters.
We served ours with shredded Romano cheese and a sprig of basil on top.
And some nice toasted focaccia.
And a glass of Merlot.
MMMM. This was so incredibly good! The polenta was fantastic. I had to force myself to stop eating it straight from the pan after I tasted it for seasoning. Go make this.
Finished off dinner with a square of Lindt sea salt chocolate.
Tomorrow is the big day to officially start the 20/40/60 Challenge and I'm a little scared, but super excited.Wish me luck!

You rock! I also follow you on Sparkpeople. I can't wait to try this recipe. I do believe I will make it tonight. I am so excited to see how the next 20 days go for you.
Thanks! I have the polenta for lunch today and I'm super excited to eat it again.
I spend about $40/week on produce from the local grocery store. If I make time for myself to get down to the farmer's market, I spend HALF that and get much more for my money. I could also control costs (and ingredients!) by making my own bread or other "ingredients".
I've never been handy in the kitchen and don't know how to properly choose any fruits/veggies outside of the basics, so it's a challenge for me to explore new foods (even things as simple as avocado, mango, egg plant or kiwi. These are foreign foods to me that I've only recently tried to include in my diet)
Our farmer's market is the same way! I'm always shocked by organic bell peppers. $2.99 EACH in the grocery store. 3/$1 at the farmer's market!
I really enjoy the Thirty Bucks a Week blog. They eat vegetarian meals on a budget and seem to make super yummy things: http://thirtyaweek.wordpress.com/
That is very cool. I am definitely adding them to my feed reader.
Thanks once again for the wonderful soundning recipes. I made polenta for the first time a couple of weeks ago and LOVED it! However, I made it with water. Will try making it with chicken broth next time!
Oh by the way… good luck with your challenge. I have not doubt you will do awesome!
i think the chicken broth adds a nice heartiness to it. Makes it taste like it could almost be a whole meal on it's own.
So fancy yet so simple..I also adore merlot…and Lindt! I'm reading back through all your archives, making myself hungry! xx

TestNG - Overview
Testing is the process of checking the functionality of the application whether it is working as per requirements and to ensure that at developer level, unit testing comes into picture. Unit testing is the testing of single entity (class or method). Unit testing is very essential to every software company to give a quality product to their customers.
JUnit has driven developers to understand the usefulness of tests, especially of unit tests when compared to any other testing framework. Leveraging a rather simple, pragmatic, and strict architecture, JUnit has been able to "infect" great number of developers. Features of JUnit can be seen in Junit Features.
Some of the short comings of JUnit are:
Initially designed to enable unit testing only, now used for all kinds of testing.
Cannot do dependency testing.
Poor configuration control (setUp/tearDown).
Intrusive (forces you to extend classes and name your methods a certain way).
Static programming model (forces you to recompile unnecessarily).
The management of different suites of tests in complex projects can be very tricky..
What is TestNG?
Definition of TestNG as per its documentation is:
TestNG is a testing framework inspired from JUnit and NUnit but introducing some new functionalities that make it more powerful and easier to use.
TestNG is an open source automated testing framework; where NG of TestNG means Next Generation. TestNG is similar to JUnit (especially JUnit 4), but its not a JUnit extension. Its inspired by JUnit. It is designed to be better than JUnit, especially when testing integrated classes. The creator of TestNG is Cedric Beust.
TestNG eliminates most of the limitations of the older framework and gives the developer the ability to write more flexible and powerful tests. As it heavily borrows from Java Annotations (introduced with JDK 5.0) to define tests, it can also show you how to use this new feature of the Java language in a real production environment.
TestNG Features
TestNG uses more Java and OO features.
Supports testing integrated classes (e.g., by default, no need to create a new test class instance for every test method).
Separate compile-time test code from run-time configuration/data info.
Flexible runtime configuration.
Introduces 'test groups'. Once you have compiled your tests, you can just ask TestNG to run all the "front-end" tests, or "fast", "slow", "database", etc...
Supports Dependent test methods, parallel testing, load testing, partial failure.
Flexible plug-in API.
Support for multi threaded testing.

By David Torrance
There's a scene in Ridley Scott's new film Prometheus in which a scientist asserts that rather than being descended from apes, human beings have actually evolved from alien life forms. When another character asks her if she has any basis for that assertion she replies, quite simply, "no", adding, "but it's what I choose to believe".
I mention this because I have a funny feeling the "no" campaign is currently developing what might be called a Prometheus strategy. At a recent First Minister's Question Time the Scottish Labour leader Johann Lamont accused Alex Salmond of basing his vision of an independent Scotland on "assertion, belief and hope" rather than fact.
The official "no" – or as they would have it, the "yes to the UK" – campaign, reportedly preparing to launch later this month, will probably continue this refrain, questioning the basis for the SNP's stance on a whole range of issues, for example currency and the European Union, with the implication that it is predicated upon wishful thinking.
The aim will be to undermine the "yes" campaign's strategy of emphasizing stability and continuity, while planting seeds of doubt in voters' minds. As for the launch itself, I reckon this will be pitched about half way between a regular party political press conference and the glitzy (if rather lame) "yes" launch of a few weeks ago.
It's no secret that the "no" side are still playing catch up in almost every respect. While the SNP (which now forms the core of the "yes" campaign) has had since last May to prepare its case for independence, proponents of the status quo have only recently recruited the former Labour Party strategist Blair McDougall, not to mention arranged opinion polling and funding.
Its instinct will, I suspect, to be to go for the jugular. After all, negative campaigning can work, as anyone involved in the fruitless attempt to convert UK voters to the Alternative Vote back in 2011 can testify. As Peter Kellner of YouGov has argued, the general trend during referendums is that those advocating change – particularly radical change – tend to lose ground as the campaign progresses.
Unless, therefore, the "yes" campaign enters the formal referendum campaign in 2014 with a strong lead, then it has a slim hope of winning the independence battle. That said, the opinion polls were wrong about levels of SNP support in April/May 2011 and could well be wrong again. The SNP's sophisticated Activate software will have a pretty good idea of how many Scots are likely to back sovereignty, not only now, but over the next two-and-a-half years.
So what are the likely strengths and weaknesses of the "no" campaign, whatever it ends up being called? I think in personnel terms the mooted line up – former Chancellor Alistair Darling, former Scottish Tory leader Annabel Goldie and former UK Liberal leader Charles Kennedy – will be, broadly speaking, a strength. Kennedy, in particular, still polls well with normal people, and when on form can put a political case with wit and authority.
The "yes" side's chief asset is, of course, Alex Salmond, whose approval ratings continue to put just about everybody else's in the shade. And while Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie has so far performed well, the "no" campaign's trio of big-hitters probably has the edge – at least at the moment. The SNP's attempt to discredit Darling as the man who destroyed the UK economy lacks credibility (Salmond, after all, did not demur from the pre-2008 economic orthodoxy), while the former Chancellor's cool authority should prove a match for the First Minister.
The "no" campaign's other major strength, at the moment, is having public opinion on its side. Despite the events of January, most notably the Prime Minister's intervention over the referendum, there has been no real movement in the proportion of Scots intending to vote "yes" and "no". Indeed, a recent YouGov poll, mischievously released to coincide with the "yes" launch, put support for independence at 33 per cent.
This was not disputed by Alex Salmond on the day, for it had a large sample size (1,500) and the SNP fully realizes there's work to be done; only a couple of recent polls have put the "yes" vote above 40 per cent, but those had tiny sample sizes (100 or 200) which mean they're difficult to take seriously.
The weaknesses in the "no" campaign, meanwhile, could emerge over the next couple of years. As I've argued elsewhere, the consensus between the UK Coalition and Labour Party about welfare cuts will not play in their favour. Although the SNP's alternative is vague and ill-defined, it's indisputably the case that most Scots don't like what Iain Duncan Smith is proposing. And as those cuts – and indeed others – begin to bite closer to the referendum, the "yes" campaign could reap the benefits.
Another negative is the lack of a positive, compelling argument for the United Kingdom (although who knows, perhaps this will be unveiled at the "no" launch). Now there might not be a compelling argument against the UK either, but the "yes" camp have, I think, the edge in terms of momentum, aspiration and language. Negative points against your opponents – as the SNP know well – only work if masked by a broadly positive narrative.
Finally, I reckon the all-important ground war poses problems for both sides. Although those in the "yes" campaign are more likely to get fired up by their cause, what they're being asked to sell (the Independence Declaration) is rather abstract, while voters' desire for detail is unlikely to be satisfied. Those on the "no" side, meanwhile, have tended to take the status quo (i.e. the Union) for granted, and might struggle to campaign for a constitutional position rather than a political party.
For both sides, the stakes are high. If the "no" campaign fails to challenge the "yes" side's superior electoral machine it will mean the end of Great Britain, while a decisive "no" vote would spell the end of Alex Salmond's impressive political career. As the movie posters for Ridley Scott's Prometheus puts it, "the search for our beginning could lead to our end".

What David and a host of other pundits fail to observe is that there is now other voices out there whose vision of independence varies quite dramatically from that of the SNP.
That being said, the SNP have all the running for so long, being the only game in town. They still are.
New voices, however well articulated are not being heard. That is a democratic deficit in itself but at this stage of the play, hardly earth shattering.
However, as the SNP stumble and stutter through either ill thought out policies or as in some cases, no policy at all, this provides great succor to the opposition who spy weaknesses in the SNP case. This is precisely what an alternative view throws up - weaknesses.
As soon as a 'better' altrnative rears its head, if it's not been a prouct of SNP thinking it is sideleined or ignored.
That suggests a highly totalarian point of view. Not therefore an SNP strength and a denial of there assertion that they are reaching out.
Patrick Harvie I think is beginning to say the kind of things I have thought for some time and see well displayed on the web-pages of the SDA.
As for polls, well, I'm in my late 50's now and have never met anyone who has ever been polled, nor have my friends nor friends of their's. So who are these mysterious people who'se views matter so much ?.
The trio leading the campaign to retain the UK will play well I think and cover a broad spectrum of policical views. They will be a good challenge to Salmond, who needs to widen the support he has from Harvie and Sturgeon.
Salmond seems the be taking a presidential approach, the figure head for the yes camp. People may tire of his perhaps?
