this election is about the economy and jobs. all other issue are red herrings.
Iran and bomb lets just say the Israeli's if they feel threaten enough they nuke Iran. that happens the fear of darkest days of cold war will be nothing. As for the economy and jobs who ever get elected will have those issues smack on center of there plate. |
Follow-Up Postings:
One would think. It remains to be seen if jobs are really that important to the electorate. It's easy enough to "get by" without one and unfortunately, "getting by" is good enough for many. |
Not to worry Romney says he will "create" 250K jobs per month for his first 4 years in office ... but I thought private business created jobs without any input from government/people but all on their own. This politic stuff can be so confusing. |
Likeability is also considered a determining factor and Obama seems to be ahead in this department... |
No, it's not jobs or the economy. It's Romney's tax returns. Seems even the senate has no business to take care of. Harry Reid spent his time on the floor reiterating that he heard that Romney didn't pay taxes for ten years. Seems like his time could be better spent bringing up a few of that stack of bills that came out of the house that he won't allow to come up for a vote. |
The economy is slowly coming back, very slowly to be sure. It will do what it does regardless of who is in the White House. As consumer confidence grows so will spending and then business will react. Even the top business people say it has nothing to do with PERSONAL income tax if it did you would have zero unemployment given your incredibly low personal tax rate. If anyone really cared about the economy they would be dealing with the National debt and the terrible fiscal cliff you face Dec 31st....but no they won't go there because they are frightened to do their jobs! |
While I agree the economy and jobs are extremely important, if one of the candidates appears to be more likely to go into a war with Iran over Israel, I'd say that's pretty darn significant. Especially to those that me that have children who are registered in the draft. |

Yes it is the economy that is important amongst other things as well, and Romney's tax returns play perfectly into the economy. These tax returns do matter and matter far more than they would have if Romney had dropped his "typical high and mighty act" and just released them Remember, this candidate is s millionaire, 250 times over or more for all we know. He keeps off shore bank accounts to save more money, something the majority of the people in this country can not do or take advantage of. This candidate, that millionaire, 250 times over, wants to "play" voodoo economics, that stupid supply side economic game, that trickle down economic game that is supposed to provide the "trickle to the bottom people" by helping out the rich, the super rich, the big huge businesses. That didn't work so well in the past. Don't know about anyone else on this forum, but that trickle down bit, never trickled down on me, my family or anyone else that I know. This millionaire candidate, 250 times over, wants to keep the tax credits for himself and his super rich pals and businesses, while the rest of us carry them and the tax burden on our backs; for what? so they can find all the loopholes in the tax codes they can take advantage of and ship their money to off shore accounts? Yup, sure is the economy, but as usual, Romney and the GOP have no idea what the problems are, except how changes that would benefit this country and the majority of the people in it would screw them and their wallets and they might lose out on a bit of money that they can no longer save and shove into off shore bank accounts. Yes it certainly is the economy, when people are struggling to keep health insurance, pay for health insurance, and can't afford it because they lost their jobs. And the answer from this millionaire 250 times over candidate for the GOP is what? Oh yes, repeal "Obamacare", get rid of it and lets start all over again with a brand new. non existent GOP plan. Is the problem with Obamacare that it doesn't allow for enough profits for the CEOs and the health insurance companies? Is that the problem? is it that the mantra for the GOP, things like "health insurance is not a right, it's a privilege" gets ruined? or is it that "personal responsibility thing" that is the problem and it provides health insurance coverage for just about everyone? OH, I know, it's that socialist crap again and we can't be like all the other industrialized countries in the world that have some form of national health insurance. Or, maybe it's fear, fear that if you provide health insurance for everyone, then the people on the bottom will rise up and take control and those top !% will not be at the top any more. Yup, "it's the economy, stupid" and the people realize that, and they also realize that Romney's tax returns and how he is able to use and abuse the system, well he's afraid of that being found out and who knows what else he just might be hiding and it is part of the economy. The people aren't going to forget it, nor will they forget that the GOP just wants to destroy the every day person in this country. OH, yes, social issues do matter and they are intertwined in the economy and people realize that one as well. |
Many voters we know - many of them unemployed, under-employed, unemployable, disabled, retired etc will vote for the candidate that promises the most handouts. Regardless of who's elected, their future job and self employment opportunities will depend on their college education, technical education, certifications, knowledge, skills, soft skills, work ethic, location, demand for their skills etc. |

Mark, you could change the words to read: Many voters we know - many of them very wealthy and benefiting from favorable tax laws etc. will vote for the candidate who promises the most handouts. I suspect most people vote consistently for the party or candidate they identify which would explain why Middle Class Republicans would vote to have their taxes raised by Romney or Dems would vote for Clinton even after he reformed welfare and cut benefits. |
K it would be interesting to hear your thoughts over on that other post about this actual tax plan. Yucks are fun but substance is well what you'll be paying on later than sooner! |
Romeny was here in Swing State Colo yesterday, unveiling his economic plan. begin quote: "Energy independence: Increase domestic resources, streamline permitting, ease coal rules, approve Keystone XL pipeline. Skills to succeed: Improve access to quality primary schools and affordable higher education, align job training with opportunities, attract best talent from abroad. Trade: Curtail unfair trade practices, open new markets, build stronger ties in Latin America, strengthen global free enterprise. Federal deficit: Cut nonsecurity-discretionary spending by 5 percent, cap federal spending below 20 percent of GDP, give states responsibility for more programs, consolidate agencies, align federal pay with the private sector. Small business: Reduce taxes on job creators, simplify regulations, reduce union influence, replace health-care law with proposals that control costs. End quote. Which will create 12 million jobs, he tells us. Bit short on details, to be sure. /strum stum "unicorns dancing, flying through the sky-eye-eye.... strum strum |

For me it's Trust. Romney likes keeping secrets, flip flops on a whim to hide his true opinions. As prez there will be absolutely no transparency. His business will be none of our business even when we the people are his business. |
Love The Onion's comment today: WASHINGTON - Following a two-day meeting to discuss the country's continually disappointing employment numbers, officials from the Federal Reserve announced Friday that if jobs are really meant to be with the American people, they'll return of their own volition. "Listen, if it's meant to be, it'll happen," said Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, adding that there's no point in purchasing new mortgage-backed securities or keeping the federal funds rate near zero percent "if both parties don't want this to work." "We can't spend all our time and energy trying to force this. We have to let them do their own thing, and if they don't come back, then maybe we were just never meant to be together." Bernanke confirmed that, while he is realistic about the slim chance of jobs ever actually returning, Americans should "always leave the door open" in case things change in the future. All politics aside, you gotta admit, those writers are funny. |
I really don't care who the president is. One elitist isn't much worse than another. Meet the new boss, Same as the old boss... |
They are, and I really like Obama's new campaign slogan. CHICAGOя┐╜After coming to terms with the limited scope of what he can realistically expect to accomplish as president, Barack Obama announced Wednesday a new, more practical campaign slogan that will serve as the cornerstone for his 2012 reelection bid: "I Have Big Ideas But We'll See How It Goes." "My fellow citizens, I stand here today to tell you that, if given a second term, I have very big plans for our nation's future," Obama said during a rally at Chicago's Navy Pier. "Ambitious, forward-thinking plans I will have to drastically scale down based on opinion polls, budget considerations, and political roadblocks, but, you know, I'll see what I can do. No promises, though." |

Thanks, mrskjun. Dontcha know those people go home thinking "I have the BEST job ever!" |
The employment situation of most of the unemployed, under-employed job seekers we know won't change until they acquire educations, training, re-training, skills, knowledge and experience in high demand growth industries. Even then, many without high demand portable skill sets will have to relocate, or commute to regions with demand for their skill sets. |
Okay I know this is a talking point. But there are issues that do make up the economy. We have a global economy. If Europe fails our economy gets sick. Do we need to remind everyone of the wonderful job Romney did on his foreign trip? Have you looked at his policy? All the issues of what will be done, what has been done has to be taken into consideration when making a decision of who you vote to run the Country. One sentence that is said to you "It is the economy" will not make thinking voters vote for you. If people cannot look at entire issues and analyze the desired outcome why say "it is the economy" If saying you are voting because you heard "Its the economy and Jobs" you are STUDPID. you are voting on a comment and not the desired result. So that last word STUPID does fit. |

Maggie, that silly hearing was the last thing the GOP did before Boehner released the House for the rest of the summer without passing drought relief or taking up the bipartisan farm bill that the Senate passed in June which did have relief for cattle ranchers (and cut the deficit by $23 billion). Take that ranchers and farmers. The Tea Party obstructionists are taxed enough already and don't know or care about the plight of farmers and ranchers. |
Isn't it really the same thing? The economy and unemployment are in bad shape because of the wars America has been fighting. War is expensive. It is also a massive transfer of wealth from citizens to the elite. |
"It remains to be seen if jobs are really that important to the electorate. It's easy enough to "get by" without one and unfortunately, "getting by" is good enough for many." I just read on another thread that Romney has been |
The last thing in the Republicans want is strong improvement in the jobs numbers. This report was very strong but more importantly it saw growth in manufacturing and entertainment and food services and for the first time in a long time, professional services. Must be giving them ulcers. I am a tad surprised though that they are risking ticking off the farmers and ranchers by not passing the farms bill. |
You are kidding right? In May the unemployment rate was 8.2%, now it's 8.3% and that is called an improvement? Wow...really? |
Small Correction Despite the seemingly good news, the report's household survey showed that the actual amount of Americans working dropped by 195,000, with the net job gain resulting primarily from seasonal adjustments in the establishment survey. The birth-death model, which approximates net job growth from newly added or closed businesses, added 52,000 to the total. The household survey also showed 150,000 fewer Americans in the workforce |

I'm not kidding and either are any of the economist when they say the economy is looking up. Why did the unemployment number tick up Mrs? Do you know and just don't care to comment or don't you know? Given you never answer I'll answer for you. It ticked up because, seeing more opportunity, more people jumped back into the job seeking market and because of additional layoffs in the public sector...which should please you. Republicans hate it when the economy improves......it's bad for business, their personal agenda business. |

Things suck but don't see how you can spin this different. One of the worst things is unemployment is the worst for veterans. |
Chase...read what you wrote please. "It ticked up because, seeing more opportunity, more people jumped back into the job seeking market and because of additional layoffs in the public sector...." well chase, you might want to read over that a few times and reconsider answering for me. |
nope I'm good. |
okey dokey...so more people jumped back into the job seeking market and what does that have to do with the unemployment rate? Are we counting them twice or something? |
- Posted by maggie2094 (My Page) on Fri, Aug 3, 12 at 15:44
my chart didn't show...I will try later. It showed job growth from 2007 to July 2012. |
Are we counting them twice or something? They are not counted when they are not looking. So when the job market picks up and the prospects look good, they come back into the market, briefly making the unemployment rate rise even though the total number of jobs created went up. |
They calculate the two from different sources. The jobs data, they ask a whole buncha businesses if they're hiring and firing. For the unemployment data, they survey families to see who's looking for work. Neither use the first time unemployment benefits claim, which is reported separately. DOW up 216 on the good news. |
how do they make the unemployment number rise esh? If they were already counted when they lost employment, why would they be counted again when they start looking for employment? "In July, the number of long-term unemployed (those jobless for 27 weeks and over) was And remember they revised Junes numbers from 80,000 new jobs to 64,000 new jobs created, which turns out to be less than May. |
"how do they make the unemployment number rise esh? If they were already counted when they lost employment, why would they be counted again when they start looking for employment? ' That is not how the number is calculated Mrs....is a count of people looking for work..not out of work. |
chase has the answer: a count of people looking for work..not out of work That's why they say sometimes the unemployment rate goes down just because some people STOP looking. |
ahhh gotcha, you mean like the real unemployment rate is 18% but 8.3% are actively looking for work, and the rest have given up? |
Yes, you could put it that way. |
The Great Cob? LOL. I wonder how many more new IDs we will see weighing in before the election. |
or never intend to work...... Facts are that IS how the number is derived Mrs...like it or not. It is the number actively looking for work NOT those that don't work. |
As for the number of jobs Romney created at Bain, his campaign comes up with the figure of 100,000. That counts all the jobs at the companies they invested in, long after he sold out. Others at the Wall Street Journal look at it differently. Bain wasn't the only investor, and if you look at the percentage of the company that Bain owned, and then calculate the jobs that were created when Bain still was an investor, it comes out a bit less. Like less than 1.500 jobs. To be fair, Romney wasn't investing to create jobs, he was investing to make himself and his share holders a boat load of money. And that he did. |

ahhh gotcha, you mean like the real unemployment rate is 18% but 8.3% are actively looking for work, and the rest have given up? Yes, and many of those people sitting out for now will try again to get a job when the economy improves and jobs are available that they can apply for and this will drive the unemployment rate up again temporarily. |

George Bush would have killed for 163,000 job add in one month. Interesting when you look into the numbers...manufacturing up, government jobs down, temporary jobs up...our economy is in the middle of a fundamental reshaping that no one yet knows what the future will bring. |

I wonder if the rate ticked up because of all the new graduates who are now starting to look for work. Kind of a seasonal thing. |

Interesting thought JZ. hubby wondered the same thing. |
My father, who was raised on a farm, often said that most people don't produce anything - farmers and those who extract resources from the earth are the only real producers. I disagreed, as people who worked in factories produced something tangible and others produced services that benefitted a whole lot of people. But I started thinking about what he said, to wit: A farmer growns a wheat crop. He has to buy seed, fertilizer, herbicides, gas for his equipment, etc. He might employ workers to help him. At harvest time, he pays to get the crop to market. The elevator in his local town buys it or brokers it and sells it to flour mills who employ workers to turn it into flour, after it has been transported by rail or truck to the mill. Then the flour is sold to wholesalers or directly to baking companies, who employ people. Eventually, it ends up in a bakery or grocery store. Lots and lots of people have derived an income from what the farmer (collectively, not just one) has done. Compare that to Mitt Romney. He borrows or uses investors money to buy companies, whittles down the workforce to increase profits and then, eventually sells the company at a profit, which is distributed to himself and the investors. In the process, rarely are new jobs created as they were already there in the company he purchased. If he didn't take out huge loans to saddle the company with the company might continue to make widgets. But, in many cases, the company went bankrupt due to the loans it had been saddled with and either went out of business or reorganized, causing job losses. To get a good idea of how this happened in many towns in the U.S., where the companies Bain bought were the best employers in the town where people had worked their entire lives, only to be left with no job and no prospects and losing their homes, go to YouTube and find "When Mitt Romney Came to Town". It's 28 minutes long but worth watching. It has happened in many small towns affecting the employment rate (negatively) in almost every state in the union. So, who are the job creators? It's pretty obvious to me. |

Tax the largest companies and people 50% and use the money to build the infrastructure for solar power - mirrors and steam turbines, photovoltaic cells, compressed hydrogen and/or batteries. All workers on the project must be paid between 5 and 15 times the minimum wage and materials must be purchased at 5% above cost. Sounds good, can we get that one on the ballot? |

Free ride for illegal aliens? You mean a free ride back across the border? That's Obama's record accomplishment (deportation) so what are you talking about? Opposition to voter ID? He's open about that and there are pitifully few examples of any voter fraud much less undocumented immigrants voting. Free clinical services? That was increased under Republicans too? Dream Act? That was in his campaign. I can't imagine what you have dreamed up considering the bizarre conspiracy theories out there. Romney is not revealing his taxes, his business history, his donors, he won't say what spending cuts he will make - he says to trust him. |
- Posted by littleonefb z5MA (My Page) on Sat, Aug 4, 12 at 14:52
he says to trust him. Sorry, been there done that and what did that get this country? Richard Nixon. trust me, I got a secret plan, can't tell you what the secret plan is cause then it won't be secret and the enemy will know what the secret plan is, but trust me, I got a secret plan. OH, that secret plan? it wasn't to get out of Vietnam, it was to expand the war and keep it going. Got us, the first president to resign in office, before he was, for legit reasons, impeached, tried and found guilty of enough crimes to lock him up for quite some time. Got us a divided country like I never thought could exist or would see again and shockingly it is worse now then back then. It had, for the first time a huge long time, a united congress on both sides of the aisle, pushing and telling Nixon to resign before it was too late. And we should trust Romney because he says to and does't tell us a thing about why we should trust him with his plans that he doesn't tell us what the are? History sure does repeat itself and cripes it's coming from the GOP again, trust me, trust me, trust me cause I said so, not because it's a good idea and you told us why. CW, I have no idea where you come up with these claims you have against Obama, they have to be in your head or something or you are falling for the fox news talking point stuff because what you claim is way, way off base and there is nothing to back up the statements that you are making. On the other hand, when it comes to Romney, we do have the info to back up the claims, the questions, the absurd comments that he makes and the flip flopping he has done for years. And yes, you better believe I am biased against Romney. Doesn't take much to be either, just live under his governorship and you will feel the same way. Even his own GOP party in MA was not happy with him as Governor or the things that he did. And Oh, yes, I have a serious problem with any politician that claims he was so proud and honored to serve the people of MA as Governor and then turns around and makes the people that he was so proud to serve and the state he was governor of and the butt of his jokes. That's one sick politician, one sick person and one that is not deserving of any votes for President. He isn't a welcome figure in MA, doesn't have much support and if you truly bothered to check his record as Governor, with honest sites, honest info, you will find that he wasn't much of a governor, nor are his claims in his ads he runs true. |
"Any thing he lays his seal on now is for votes." I don't think you nee to worry about that too much given your Congress doesn't seem to be able to get their act together enough to send him anything. As far as President Obama flip flopping. Other than his position on same sex marriage, which some consider flip flopping, could you be more specific on what he has "flip flopped" on? |

Citywoman, if my words match your thoughts about Obama then we'll just have to let our gut, heart, mind, and a dash of unknown to choose the better candidate.

More evidence it is sooo like about jobs likeee.... The Faith and Freedom Coalition's effort, which will include voter registration drives at NASCAR races in Florida, Virginia and other key swing states, is part of a much broader attempt to reactivate millions of socially conservative voters to not only defeat Obama but help some favorite conservative congressional candidates. Concerned Women for America, a Christian advocacy group, already has run $6 million in ads in six battleground states including New Hampshire and Wisconsin, warning that the White House-backed health care law might limit patient care and increase the federal deficit. The Pennsylvania-based Let Freedom Ring quietly cobbled together a nonpartisan 2,000-member pastor network to spur voter registration efforts and is planning a multi-million dollar ad drive this fall focused on social, economic and foreign policy issues, according to Colin Hanna, president of the organization. Propping up this trio of right-leaning organizations are several of the countrys wealthiest conservatives. Home Depot co-founder Bernie Marcus and John Templeton Jr., who runs a family foundation, are offering financial support, as are organization that receive funding from the billionaire Koch brothers, according to two GOP fundraisers familiar with the separate operations of the three groups. The ramped-up involvement of these groups is the clearest sign to date that cultural debates long thought to be a side topic in the 2012 election, may still play a role. The Faith and Freedom Coalition, Concerned Women for America, Let Freedom Ring and other allies plan to focus heavily on a few hot-button social and economic issues, including the president's support for same-sex marriage, to fire up their base. Conservative leaders note that evangelical voters, who historically made up as much as 25 percent of the overall electorate, can be especially important in determining the next president in swing states like Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Richard Land, the president of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, an arm of the 16 million-member Southern Baptist Convention, told The Huffington Post that he believes evangelical concerns about Obama administration policies will allow conservative religious voters to "overlook any lingering reservations about [Mitt] Romney's Mormonism." The Commission itself is spending a few hundred thousand dollars to promote a nonpartisan voter registration and education drive that will compare the platforms of the two parties on numerous key issues. Land also predicted that Romneys recent trip to Israel would give him a boost with evangelicals and agreed with the presumptive GOP presidential nominee's controversial comments that "cultural" factors were important in explaining the economic success of Israel compared with the Palestinians. The statement, he said, showed that Romney "was sympathetic to the social conservative world view." On the domestic front, Land predicted that many evangelicals and social conservatives would "want to bury Obamacare in a lead coffin with a stake through its heart and cover its grave with garlic," calling the law, "a codification and personification of pro-abortion policies." The message is likely to be amplified by other religious conservatives. The $10 million that Reed's Georgia-based Faith and Freedom Coalition now expects to spend is double what the group raised in 2010. Claiming 500,000 members and chapters in 30 states, the group is planning to place much of that money behind efforts to bring out the religious vote, Executive Director Gary Marx told Huffington Post. Two GOP fundraisers familiar with the coalitions operations said it has received financial backing from Bernie Marcus of Atlanta and a nonprofit group partly subsidized by the Koch Brothers. Asked to comment, Marx said, "Our donors are private individuals and we let them make their own determinations about discussing publicly their private giving." Faith and Freedom intends to focus on several big swing states including Florida, Ohio and Virginia, and used micro-targeting tools to refine its target lists. Marx added that they are already working with allies like United in Purpose, a California-based group that specializes in online voter data mining and reportedly has garnered sizable funding from Silicon Valley conservatives. United in Purpose is run by Bill Dallas, a former real estate executive who served five years in San Quentin prison in the early 1990s for embezzlement and then wrote a book about his experiences. Before United in Purpose, Dallas spent a decade as the founder and head of the now-bankrupt Church Communication Network, an internet firm that served about 6,000 churches nationwide The Faith and Freedom Coalition also plans an ambitious get-out-the-vote effort that will target 18 million registered conservative religious voters via phone, email and door-knocking, said Marx, adding that an estimated 17 million evangelical voters either werent registered or didnt vote in 2008. Founded in 2009, the coalition has benefited from Reeds strong ties to conservative heavyweights including Karl Rove, the co-founder of American Crossroads, and Tim Phillips, president of the Koch-backed nonprofit Americans for Prosperity. Now, Reed has attended some strategy meetings that Crossroads hosts with several leading conservative groups. Those periodic sessions are aimed at organizing a $1 billion campaign effort to help the GOP win big in 2012. On another social conservative front in Pennsylvania, Let Freedom Ring is planning to mount its seven-figure, issue-ad blitz this October, in hopes of defeating Obama in the critical swing state, where the president is leading. Hanna, the organization's president, promised a voter-registration and education drive to spur evangelicals, Catholics and other social conservatives, saying Pennsylvania is "more in jeopardy for Obama than recent polls suggest." To defeat Obama in the state, Let Freedom Ring also is counting on a big hand from Sam Rohrer, an 18-year veteran of the state legislature and a former head of the Pennsylvania chapter of Americans for Prosperity. Rohrer told Huffington Post that since joining the group last month hes been "building the network and encouraging pastors to be more bold." "As a nation were in trouble and until we reach out to God rather than government well be in trouble," he said. |

For me, it's not the economy, it's not the person, it's the party. Keeping the rot that is the Republican party out of government is the important thing. The Republican party contaminates everything. -Ron- |
Get ready to get contaminated Ron. For the senate we are looking at 47 dems 44 repubs and 9 tossups. Of the 9 toss ups, 7 repubs are ahead in the polls. :) |

Pittsfield, MA – Nuclea Biotechnologies, Inc. yesterday announced that it will establish the Paul M. Dowd Chair in Molecular Oncologic Pathology in honor of the Berkshire County Jimmy Fund Council, creating Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's first Chair of Molecular Oncologic Pathology. Dr. Massimo F. Loda will serve as the Chair's first incumbent. The endowed position will help to further advance Dana-Farber's and Dr. Loda's research into the prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer.
Originally from Michigan, Paul Dowd first came to Pittsfield in 1966 as a pitcher for the Pittsfield Red Sox minor league club. He lived in the city for 35 years, and left an indelible mark as a Marine, City Councilor, and Little League coach. Along the way, Paul Dowd became a champion of cancer research. In 1981 he founded the Berkshire County Council of the Jimmy Fund, and he continues to serve as its president.
"You cannot overestimate Paul Dowd's contribution to the fight against cancer," said Patrick Muraca, President & CEO of Nuclea Biotechnologies. "For three decades, Paul worked to raise awareness of the disease and raise money for the cure. He inspired generations of folks here in the Berkshires to not only contribute to the cause financially, but also to dedicate their careers to finding a cure. We are so thrilled to be able to honor him in this way, and to support the groundbreaking research that Dr. Loda and his team continue to produce at Dana-Farber."
Dr. Loda joined Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in 1998, and currently directs the Center for Molecular Oncologic Pathology. He is also a senior pathologist at Brigham and Women's Hospital. Dr. Loda established and was the scientific director of the In Situ Hybridization and the Human Prostate Cancer Core Facilities at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. Since 2006, he has partnered with Nuclea to conduct research into the biomarkers and protein signatures that can help detect prostate, breast, and other cancers.
"I am truly honored to be chosen for the Paul M. Dowd Chair in Molecular Oncologic Pathology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute," said Dr. Loda. "Nuclea's generosity will enable us to further the important scientific research that happens here every day, and to bring us closer to our mutual goal of curing all forms of cancer. This chair, which acknowledges Mr. Dowd's contributions to the fight against cancer and dedicated leadership at the Berkshire County Jimmy Fund Council, will serve as an inspiration to all of us here at Dana-Farber. I am tremendously grateful for this opportunity".
"We are so pleased that Nuclea has chosen to honor Paul Dowd and the entire Berkshire County Jimmy Fund Council by creating the Paul M. Dowd Chair," said Suzanne Fountain, Assistant Vice President/Director of the Jimmy Fund. "Paul has made an indelible mark on all of us here at Dana-Farber and along with Nuclea has been a tremendously important partner in our fight against cancer. We look forward to many more years of working together to provide world-class care to our patients while performing cutting-edge scientific research and we are incredibly grateful to Pat, Paul, and the whole Jimmy Fund Council."
Nuclea Biotechnologies, Inc is headquartered in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Nuclea has three lines of business, each of which is operated by a separate wholly-owned subsidiary: Nuclea Diagnostic Laboratories ("NDL") which has developed and is commercializing unique diagnostic tests for colon, breast, leukemia, lung and prostate cancer; Nuclea Biomarkers ("NBM") which performs research leading to novel molecular oncology therapeutics and diagnostics for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and performs services by analyzing and testing the efficacy and validating other indications of existing therapeutics utilizing a highly characterized and consented patient database; and Nuclea Biotherapeutics ("NBT") which develops novel therapeutics.

The excuses for Philip Rivers in 2011 were numerous. Was he hurt? No, he denied that. Was he low on sleep after the birth of another child? Hell, you're allowed to be human, Phil, and that would have been an easy way out. But no, he didn't take that life line either.
He just simply sucked, and although there was a noticeable improvement over the last six games, he still didn't look like Philip Rivers. He looked more like some haunting combination of Daunte Culpepper and Tim Tebow, a quarterback with the physical tools and skills to excel, but he lacked the mental ability to make sound decisions and proper reads. That's why he threw a career high 20 interceptions, forcing us to search for a reason behind his struggles, which eventually turned into a desperate grasp at excuses.
If the inefficient and wayward Rivers returns this fall, we won't make excuses anymore. We'll just conclude that he's peaked or even declining, and we'll probably be right.
That's what Rotoworld's Evan Silva concluded after he re-watched Rivers' 2011 tape, and specifically each of his interceptions. Of those 20 picks, nearly half of them (nine) were intended for Vincent Jackson, the Chargers' former top wide receiver who's now in Tampa. Replacing Jackson is Robert Meachem, who's arguably a slight downgrade in terms of his downfield ability, but that's not the main issue here. The consistent mistakes on balls directed at one receiver hint at a tendency to hone in on one target, and not work through progressions.
Silva doesn't see that as Rivers' primary problem though. Instead, the issue with a 31-year-old quarterback who threw only nine interceptions two years ago is deeper, and is based in a simple but core fundamental skill: accuracy.
After assigning a description to each pick, Silva found that 13 of them were the direct result of Rivers' ball placement, with underthrows the crime he committed most often.
From Silva:
I charted all 20 picks and assigned a descriptive word or phrase to each. Five were assigned "great play" by the defender. One was bad luck, as Jackson lost Rivers' pass in the lights on Thursday Night Football in Week 10. One was dropped by Patrick Crayton and tipped into Broncos CB Cassius Vaughn's hands. Each of the remaining 13 were either described as "errant," "floated," or "underthrown" passes. A healthy, heavy majority of Rivers' interceptions were on him.
I'm not sure Rivers could ever have been characterized as possessing a power arm. He throws with a sort of shot-putty style, pushing the football in a three-quarters motion and relying on torque from his lower body. But Rivers wasn't getting any zip on his passes last year, and I don't think that issue was resolved at any point in the season. His short and intermediate throws were sitting ducks, and his deep balls were dying.
There was a mental component to Rivers' game that was lacking, and we saw this vividly in the dying moments of the Chargers' season finale when he was under pressure and went to throw the ball out of bounds after escaping the pocket, but instead his throw lazily floated and was picked off.
Yes, surely you remember that. He was picked off on a throwaway.
Across the board there was a statistical decline for Rivers as he posted numbers that would have been fine for most, but still weren't very Rivers-like compared to previous seasons. He completed 62.9 percent of his passes after converting on 66 percent in 2010, and he averaged 7.9 yards per pass attempt, down significantly from his 8.7 the previous year.
The question asked by Silva is the same one that was asked last year, and will be asked again soon as training camps get underway at the end of this month. Was 2011 an aberration, and just an uncharacteristic season by a top flite quarterback? Or has he peaked, and is this the new Rivers?
If the answer to the latter question is yes, then there will be some more delightful comedy in San Diego this fall. The Phil and Norv happy hour is always quality Sunday afternoon programming.
And now the links part of the links post…

I need some good healthy vibes sent my little lion's way. He's now developed an allergic reaction to the antibiotics, and has a very angry red rash all over his poor little body. He's grizzly, out of sorts and wants mum hugs all day long. I had a stall tomorrow for my Hummingbird's Song blocks, but I won't be attending as I'm too worried about him.
Please, please let us have some good luck soon.

Cohber Press Celebrates New Year with New Technology
January 25, 2013Growing as a family business
Cohber was founded in 1931 by Samuel Cohen and Howard Webber, Sr. In 1997, the company began to incorporate digital services and in 2005, Cohber rebranded itself as a marketing solutions company.
Today, the company provides e-mail distribution, data modeling, online portals and storefronts as well as variable data printing and customized marketing materials. To integrate electronic and physical content, the HP Indigo 7600 allows the company to print cross media direct mail pieces with personalized URLs and QR codes, providing clients with a comprehensive marketing approach.
"We are now not only offering traditional printed material, but also incorporating existing data sets to customize content and increase ROI for our clients. By using data profiling and modeling, we have a clearer view of our marketing strategies and can create high impact communications," said Galligan.
Investing in the future
The employees at Cohber have a deeper understanding of the digital world with backgrounds in computer science and computer engineering. A new concentration on digital knowledge combined with print expertise gives the company a unique perspective that Galligan is hopeful will help the company excel in the coming decades.
Passion for new technology is another trait the company is optimistic will propel them forward. After installing the HP Indigo 7600, the company intends to add the new HP Indigo 10000 Digital Press, as they are impressed with the B2-format. It is important for Cohber to broaden its applications for clients, and the wider format opens up new, larger print projects to the company.
"At Cohber, we strive to be on the bleeding edge, not just the cutting edge of technology," said Galligan. "We want to invest in the tools that are being developed for the next generation. That's why we chose HP."

Pesto has become my beloved assistant in the kitchen this summer. She's easy to work with, always up for a change and never fails me. Once you master the simple art of homemade pesto you're on your way to being able to create a bowlful of goodness from an assortment of summer vegetables plus a starch of your choosing like potatoes, pasta, quinoa or farro.
I love making pesto because I can throw almost any fresh herb and a variety of nuts into the food processor with a little olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper and it always turns out amazing. And recently I've discovered that instead of Parmesan you can use a mild miso. Miso gives pesto the same cheesy flavor and is a great option for those avoiding dairy. Plus miso is full of good bacteria, which we all need more of for healthy digestion.
Besides tasting amazing pesto packs a mean health punch. Did you know fresh herbs are a potent antioxidant? A tablespoon of basil has as much nutrients as a whole apple, and none of the sugar. Plus you'll benefit from the heart-healthy olive oil, immune-boosting garlic and omega-3 loaded nuts. This is serious brain-power food!
My go-to is Pistachio Pesto, but have fun experimenting with other nuts and herbs.
Recipe for Pistachio Pesto
- ¾ cup pistachios, shelled
- 1 cup basil leaves, packed
- 1 cup arugula, packed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- 1 teaspoon mild miso, yellow or white
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- Pulse pistachios in food processor until fine and set aside.
- Pulse garlic, basil and arugula in food processor until finely chopped.
- Add chopped pistachios, lemon juice, miso, olive oil, salt and pepper and pulse again until thoroughly combined.
- Place pesto in mason jar until ready to use.
For pesto pasta salad combine homemade pesto with cooked, chilled pasta and your favorite seasonal chopped vegetables. Top with shredded Parmesan. So good I'm making another batch right now to take camping on Mount Hood this Labor Day!
Due to my regular pesto-making this summer my poor basil plant never has the chance to rebound…
4 Responses to "Pesto 4 Labor Day"
Eager to try this–the other pesto recipes I've tried this summer were just missing something. Question–do you think miso would be sold at an Asian store? Also, can I substitute more basil (got tons of it in the garden still) for arugula or will that change up the flavor too much?
I made the pesto…delish! Haven't made the salad yet…have been enjoying the pesto too much on paninis and spread on grilled foods (fish, chicken)
s the point in wasting energy that could be used in effective strikes.
Another style was developed, the Monkey Style recognized in Chinese as Tai Sheng was
to counter the Tiger style and ultimately the White
Crane Style to counter the Monkey Style. Many times we do not
have time to catch our own bait fish for our
fishing trips so we go to our loc.

Commodore's Report 2013
In my last letter to you all, a letter that was a statement more of intent than result, hope maybe rather than fact; I am now reflecting on what we have achieved in the face of hard economic challenges that was 2013.
The over riding surprise to me was the eventual success of The Autumn Club Class, challenged as it was by the usual inclement weather and small numbers. Never the less numbers grew steadily into the forties, not the roaring I am pleased to add; proving to be yet another successful gathering of like minded people.
Lynne East and her magic wand worked up the energy and enthusiasm which we have all come to admire in her tenacious spirit, delivering yet another fully attended group of Club Classers ably assisted by her team of helpers.
May I also applaud the generous time given once again by our band of yacht owners who surrender their beloved craft to this important and worthwhile cause?
We have continued to enjoy excellent sailing throughout the year celebrating eventually at the largest gathering of members that I have ever seen at a prize giving in all my years at BMYC. We sat down together some 97 members in the club at the autumn prize giving, when for the first time we announced the 1st 2nd and 3rd in class for each event simultaneously, a necessity that moved things along efficiently enabling time to relax and chat over a drink before departing at a sensible hour.
May I once again congratulate the Staff lead by John Boyce in dealing efficiently and with such nonchalance this challenge in getting great food delivered hot and tasty to our tables. The decorative addition of candelabras combined with smartly dressed members in black ties accompanied by a dazzling array of lovely lady's none of which were recognisable out of their usual Musto's and Henry Lloyd sailing gear with perfect hairdos.
This now rather common place gathering of such numbers, was followed by an equally impressive Christmas Lunch, well served, well cooked, and well managed. I was rather pleased with the Christmas puddings reminding me of home made mince pies and brandy butter.
I trust this year we shall enjoy more of the mid week constructive lectures that proved so enjoyable and well attended in 2012.
Wednesday evening lectures provide for constructive informative professional education so beneficial to all it also gives a great boost to the club bar turnover and galley takings.
The Present
You will have noticed that building work on the cofferdam has started in earnest rendering car parking a distant luxury. However we shall have a set of stairs erected soon that will access the landing at our front entrance bypassing the tower crane that will preclude access from the ramp, meanwhile we have the walkway dividing storage from access on the ramp roadway leading up to our clubhouse.
We shall endure this in our usual manner as in the end we shall have moved to some other premises; after all it is not the place but the membership who make the club what it is.
So providing the crane driver behaves himself and doesn't create an outdoor feature of the roof we shall continue until further notice from where we are.
I am pleased to report that bar loss has been reduced from £7483 to £3774 this year as you will have seen from the annual statement at the AGM, this shows how a concerted effort lead by our Director of House John Boyce has reduced our liability below that which we had come to expect. We hope to reduce this even further in 2014 by strengthening the control by introducing a House team starting with the voluntary assistance of Colin Scarf and Simon Grigg giving the club membership more assurance of a well considered operation.
Dieppe Dash
There has this year been a very well attended off shore series of races, surprising in a year when for example, the Royal Escape Race was cancelled, an unheard of scenario; however we at BMYC had a well attended Dieppe Dash with an increase in numbers BMYC contributing 19yachts out of an entry of 42 making the event a happy and lively one. The finish times were close with on the water elapsed times only separated by minutes.
In TCF 1000 and above, Mark Jephcott in his modified 1720 with tin bath and hot showers took first place with an elapsed time of 11hrs 18min and 12sec followed by Colin Foxley with Extreme taking second place with an elapsed time of 11hr.15min.02sec.
In TCF 0999 and below, first place was taken by Peter Vaughan in his Hanse 320 Pean 11, with Chris Woods taking second place in Temeraire in his Moody 331.
We are very grateful for the continued support and sponsorship of 'Sussex Yachts' ships chandlers of Brighton Marina for their continued support and organization. I am sure this event will grow in 2014 as it is sure that this race will once again prove to be a favorite attraction.
Sussex Regatta
Brighton cleaned up in this as usual with a 1st place in IRC1 Shmoking Joe 1st place in IRC2 Jeneral Lee and with a 2nd place IRC2 John May in Vision gave us the team prize to boot. I like it!!!
The BMYC Commodores Cup in 2013 had a combined total number of challengers totaling 33 Yachts competing in IRC1, 2 and PY, all results available on the website.
Fastnet Race
Two BMYC yachts entered the Fastnet Race in 2013, both of which were Prima 38's Kokomo and Revive, the latter placed 8th at one stage but then they had lunch, a bit of cake and became a little distracted.
The Fastnet is a grueling race which if you have never entered, has a huge qualifying requirement before the race itself, so my hats off to both yachts and their crew who took part, well done indeed.
It is worth noting that most of Kokomo's crew comprised of club class intake from the previous year, proving how well this terrific activity contributes to BMYC racing subsequently.
RNLI Regatta Eastbourne
We held our usual feeder race dash to Eastbourne Sovereign Harbor for the RNLI Regatta from which we won IRC 1 held for the second or even third year by Jeneral Lee and a 2nd in PY Kereru. Graham Allen frustratingly also narrowly missed a 1st place in the Little Britain Race by a miniscule 0.05sec.
European J111 Championship
I conclude the racing accolades with a significant BMYC contender 'Shmoking Joe' whose crew and helm you all know, they are a demure, quiet, unpretentious bunch of chaps and Chapeses who report that they didn't do very well. I strongly disagree! Placed second in J111 European Championship at Le'Harvre, 2nd in class two in Cowes Week also won Vice Admirals Cup in Class 2 significantly flying the flag I would say! Very well done.
Rob Mclean and Joe Field from BMYC racing in Sleeper commenced their run up to the start of the Antigua race having two of their crew take Sleeper out to the start by way of an ordeal. A slight case of being tired and emotionless after their liquid flight in from the UK. However it seemed to have worked well as the team gained a 1st place in class after a grueling 250 mile beat into big seas as a first leg of several legs around the Island resulting in what was described to me as the hardest race they had experienced.
Thanks for making BMYC stand alone in those far flung places and very well done.
I am happy to relate that there have also been several trips by members cruising to Sovereign Harbor significantly, their Rally to the RAF Air Show Tattoo combined with a return cruise from Eastbourne with SHYC cruisers to our club house for much of the same bon hommie'.
I am pleased to welcome Paul Dupret to the Board of Directors in his capacity as RCD, may I wish him every success in this Flag Officer position. To the members of BMYC Divers I hope you have a significant change in the weather this year to enable more periods of dive-able conditions. Also my sincere thanks for the difficult work they put in for us servicing the underwater tackle of our racing marks.
Simon Grigg who races Arcadian with his partner Anne Jackson is another addition to our Board of Directors. He is keeping a sharp eye assisting Phil Thomas with our financial affairs and is proving to be a benefit to us in the day to day checking of our income and expenditure.
During her time as membership secretary Flo has had to suffer in addition to the hardship and vagarious challenges this post inevitably attracts, my sometimes tactless criticism of her for which I apologise totally. I welcome her application to become a member of our board and look forward to her continuance with us in this role.
The Future
Robert Stiles & Pete Tyler are still in discussion with Brunswick and Midguard regarding future premises, and at this time there are no firm offers or confirmed heads of agreement.
There is a further meeting this week 16th January 2014 prior to the AGM at which details may emerge favorably.
May I ask that whilst the disruption and noise that the building work will cause, making normal life inevitably harder, please bear with us and help where you can by giving the club your utmost support during this period.
There is a light at the end of this disruption with new premises, whether it is floating or permanent.
Most of all we shall not stop racing! We will not stop cruising or diving.
We will continue drinking and enjoying each others company at our many regattas continuing to benefit from what has become probably one of the best Yacht clubs with a most enviable variety of events on the South Coast.
We have worked hard to achieve what we have created and it is the membership that has provided this continuity. I am privileged to be well assisted by an enthusiastic, talented board of Directors, Flag Officers and committee members, headed up by our longest serving member of all, Jack Voss who treasures this club like the crown jewels.
Together we shall prevail.
Thank you all for your contribution in 2013 and I look forward to my last year as Commodore with eager anticipation.
Yours sincerely
Peter G Dilloway-Thompson
Commodore BMYC
REAR COMMODORE RACING - 2013 at THE AGM 19th Jan 2014
The construction outside is now under way as you will have noticed, but we must use this as a positive and not be despondent as it does mean we are well on our way to a new clubhouse so spread the word that we are open for business as usual !
Racing wise, last year was challenging for us at BMYC. The summer was fantastic but the weather during the beginning and end of the year was very much against us with storm after storm which has affected our racing income. Let us hope and pray for better weather this year.
Peter has already spoken about the majority of our racing successes last year so that helps to shorten my speech you will be glad to hear, but he did miss one that I am rather proud of and that was winning the Caribbean RORC 600 on Sleeper – a J39 part BMYC boat which we are attempting to do again this year at the end of February on a new Azure 46 – Sleeper 9. Hopefully without cockroaches aboard like last year! Wish us luck on that.
We are well set for a fantastic year of racing here at BMYC. The buoys have all been checked over by our in-house divers – thank you guys for that, and our committee boat is in good shape thanks to the help of Sussex Yachts, Dilly & our bosun Quentin.
In 2014 we hope to have a variety of talks and lectures. We have weather experts Libby Greenhalgh and Stokey Woodall to help improve our knowledge of the wind. Stokey advises the Met Office on weather and does weather routing for many ocean races including the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers known as the ARC which Geoff Bryant from L'Intrepide has just completed.
I have sailed the Atlantic 11 times now so I know what it involves, but it wasn't always on a luxurious Oyster 66. In fact one year we lost power so were on water rations for the last 5 days which was interesting. Well done Geoff and his crew.
Other talks we hope to have will include sail trim and rules to help us all expand our knowledge in these fields
Club Class has been a fantastic success in 2013 and plans are now well underway for the 2014 sessions. Lynne East and her team of enthusiastic helpers must be thanked for their tireless support of this institution.
Excluding membership, Club Class raised more money for our club than any other section last year and continues to bring in new members to our club. This event cannot happen without owners and skippers and their boats so do please support this as best as you can.
We are lacking a cruising section and cruising commodore so we hope to be able to build on this in 2014. Any interested parties would be most welcome.
The Sussex Regatta is due to be hosted at Shoreham this year so it would be good to get our usual formidable teams together once more to bring home the cups. Watch this space for our Summer Regatta .. this promises to be a cracker and also, there will be an additional Premier Marina Regatta in September where we will be working closely with Premier to host an event that will hopefully attract lots of boats from other Premier Marinas to compete against.
One of the races during this regatta will encompass Bart's Bash which will commemorate the world renowned Andrew Simpson who was a gold and silver Olympic medalist, an America's Cup professional and an all round fantastic man who was tragically killed in an accident during training on San Francisco Bay in May 2013.
That's about it from me apart from saying thanks to everybody for your continued support of racing and the Brighton Marina Yacht Club. Without you all, there would be no club. Thank you.
Rob Mclean
Rear Commodore Racing – Brighton Marina Yacht Club
Diving Section Report
Another active year with some excellent diving.
Managed to attract a number of new members through our training programme as well as attracting some existing member to have a go.
The dive section has again successfully inspected, cleaned and maintained the racing Buoys, a service which saves the club a considerable amount each year.
The dive section continues to make a positive contribution to the finances of the club.
No overseas holidays this year but we had a very successful weekend trip to Swanage in the summer, this also generated funds for the club.
Club night has now moved to Wednesday night which appears to be working well.
Richard Harvey
Rear Commodore Diving
The main event was the refurbishment and updating of the galley. It badly needed it and the floor certainly would not pass Health & Safety but we had been hanging on to hopefully hear about club re-location. It was one of those situations, you are damned if you do and damned if you don't. An opportunity arose to purchase from a restaurant/bar that was closing down, galley equipment that was badly needed, i.e. cooking range, commercial fridges etc. Also some furniture and crockery was purchased so the refurb went ahead, including new flooring, together with installation of a new gas heating and hot water system. This did not give us a great saving in costs but is definitely more efficient. All the installation was done knowing that hopefully in the not too distant future it would be moved. The advantages of this refurb are obvious; those who have attended events have seen that we can now easily provide sit-down 4 course meals for up to 100 people - more of these please.
The year's turnover did not start out so well with terrible weather causing many Sunday cancellations and lack of visitors to the club. That gave me the inspiration to encourage more events and take up the challenge of endeavoring to make the bar/galley a profit centre not just a service to members. Fortunately we are now achieving this.
We had some great events, apart from the Prize Giving and Regatta, which were outstanding successes, we have been supported by our corporate members, the charter fishermen and Hove Lagoon, RNLI dinners, a great Sea Cadets formal mess dinner, quizzes, several members birthday parties and sadly a few wakes, but all help the turnover. The Sunday/Wednesday summer evening racing contributes just under 40% of the turnover with the other days and events contributing 60%. We need to increase both.
We have had a very loyal staff during the year. To work towards profitability, I modified the working hours and rota to cut back and with members assistance which was very gratefully received and accepted by members maybe waiting to take a little longer to be served and helping with clearing plates etc. a wages saving was clearly achieved. I would like to thank the staff, most sincerely, on behalf of the club, for their hard work, loyalty and understanding during the year.
I would like to thank all members for using the club, to encourage more use during these upcoming difficult times. I can increase the profitability with very little increase in direct costs, just by more members coming through the door and using the facilities. A lot more events are planned for the coming season, dinners, talks, and social occasions. Please support them and if you and your friends have any occasion to celebrate, think of the club as a venue. We are here for you.John Boyce
Rear Commodore House
Minutes of the thirty fifth AGM of
Brighton Marina Yacht Club
held on 19th January 2014
Officers Present: | Pete Tyler (President), Peter Dilloway Thompson (Commodore), Simon Grigg, Phil Thomas, Rob Mclean, Graham Allen, John Boyce, Robert Stiles & Pauline Allen. |
The President opened the meeting by welcoming everyone and then asked the
Secretary to read the notice convening the meeting.
Apologies were received from: Katie Street, Nick Douthwaite, Joe Field, Andy Uren, Andrew & Janet Pitcher, Alex Laurie, Dean & Liz Wetton & Sarah Mckenzie.
The minutes of last year's meeting were available and were adopted:
Proposed: Flo Hubert
Seconded: Tim Spafford
The Commodore then gave his report for 2013 in which he gave a resume of all that had happened in the year, a copy of which is attached. In it he pointed out that rules 43.1 and 44.2 had not been adherred to. Therefore a committee of Colin Scarff, Simon Grigg and John Boyce would be responsible for the running and accounts of the Bar/Galley.
The Commodore then moved for the adoption of the report. Adopted
Seconded: Matthew Holmes
Robert Stiles was then called upon to give an up to date report on the new club premises as he had had a meeting with the developers that week. The Aqua Bar was out of the equation as the service charge was too high and the owners would not drop. Brunswick are still willing to build us a floating yacht club which will probably not be as big as the original and would have a change in design. They would hope to be in a position for the yacht club to be in its new premises by Christmas 2014. The 106 states that we should have a yacht club to move into before we vacate the old one. We have been in this position before and nothing has come of it, so we can only wait and see.
Phil Thomas then presented the accounts a copy of which are attached. These show the costs of running the yacht club, the largest amount being depreciation which was for Admiral Jack and the Galley, which was charged out over a period of 3 years not the usual 10 years. Lynne East queried why the expenses for club class had risen so much and this was mainly due to the extra staff employed to help during club class. The Bar/Galley had made a loss of £4K on the year and it was thought that these figures should be separated. We are going to apply for a new modified licence when we take over the new club house. Also we should allow £1K a month for outside services like refuse.
The accounts were adopted.
Proposed: Phil Thomas
Seconded: Lynne East
The Election of Officers and Directors
Commodore: Peter Dilloway Thompson
Vice Commodore: Graham Allen
Rear Commodore Racing: Rob Mclean
Rear Commodore Diving: Paul Dupret
Treasurer: Phil Thomas
Rear Commodore Cruising: Vacant
Rear Commodore Motor: Vacant
Directors: Robert Stiles, John Boyce, Flo Hubert
Honorary Officers:
President: Pete Tyler
Secretary: Pauline Allen
All the above positions were uncontested and therefore all were duly elected.
The present auditors Knill James are willing to continue in office.
Proposed: Colin Scarff
Seconded: Andrew Orton
Admirals Cup
The cup was presented to Flo Hubert for all the hard work she had done with regard to membership.
Hon Life Membership
This was given to founder members John and Sylvia May for their service to the club both racing and social.
Rob Mclean stated that in conjunction with Premier Marina, a Regatta would be held on the 21st September to coincide with "Barts Bash". This is to commemorate Andrew Simpson known as "Bart" who died in San Francisco.
Well done to Geoff Bryant for his participation in the Arc.
Commodore's Bell
This was presented to Robert Styles and Pete Tyler for the hard work they had put in in their own time for the club regarding the move and the acquisition of a new club house. The Commodore also presented them with a bottle of wine each as a thank you.
It was proposed that the next AGM will be held no later than the last Sunday in December 2014.
This was carried unanimously and the meeting retired to enjoy the Rum Punch at the bar, provided by the Admiral Jack Voss.

NOGALES, Ariz. - Less than a week after Customs and Border Protection officers seized $1.15 million worth of methamphetamine at the border, officers found another $150,000 worth of meth hidden inside a vehicle this weekend.
Officers referred 41-year-old Castulo Chavez Cecena of Cibuta, Sonora, Mexico, for additional questioning and a vehicle search as he attempted to enter the U.S. Saturday, according to a news release from CBP.
A drug-sniffing dog alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle's oil pan, where officers found a package of meth weighing nearly 10 pounds.
The drugs and vehicle were processed for seizure, and Cecena was turned over to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tucker Brown!
Facts about Tucker Brown
- Breed: Beagle Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Tucker Brown's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with dogs.
Hi! My name is Tucker Brown and I was found as a stray and can't understand why my previous owners aren't looking for me. The kind family that found me says I am the most perfect dog. I am a neutered 4 year old Beagle and weigh about 50 lbs. I have the sweetest personality and get along with other dogs and love all people. I like to bark at other dogs through the fence when all the other dogs are barking but then I like to go back in the house to rest. I've not been around kids or cats yet but my the family I am staying with thinks I might be ok with them. My favorite thing is to lay next to anyone either on the couch, bed or floor. I am relatively low maintenance and I follow basic commands. My favorite toy is a Nylabone! I am house/doggie-door trained and sleep through the night with no issues. Essentially I am a mellow guy who is happy all the time and would love to have a family to call my own.
Other Pets at Arizona Beagle Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tucker Brown, a Phoenix Beagle dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Beagle for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Beagle dog from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Beagle breeders who help with Beagle rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

2nd IMCOSEC workshop Avaldatud: 31/08/2010, Viimati muudetud: 21/09/2010
Ürituse kuupäev: | 21/09 > 22/09/2010 |
Toimumiskoht: |
Andromeda Hotel in Ostend, Belgium |
Lisa oma kalendrisse | |
This international workshop in Ostend aims at achieving a common understanding on gaps in supply chains and suitable measures for improving supply chains. Participants will have the opportunity to openly exchange opinions with other experts from logistics, security and public authorities.
The IMCOSEC project, supported by the European Commission, is defining a strategic roadmap of research needs and a basic concept for large scale demonstrations for the improvement of supply chains.
The aim is to improve the supply chain for container transport and integrated security simultaneously. The main objective of project IMCOSEC is to create a win-win solution between industry and supervision whereby the level of security is at an optimum level balancing effectiveness with practicality within the regulatory framework. Thus IMCOSEC will not aim at introducing as much security as possible, but rather as much as needed, suitable and acceptable. Therefore the project is based on two main pillars which are on the one hand sophisticated research and analysis and on the other hand the incorporation of stakeholders from logistics and security practice by a series of workshops.
The workshop will take place on the 21st and 22nd of September 2010 in the Andromeda Hotel in Oostende, Belgium and is free of charge.
Please save the date for the following general time frame:
- 21st September 14:00 - 18:00
- 22nd September 09:00 - 12:00
On the evening of the 21st the organisers want to invite you to join a welcome dinner to give you the opportunity for further discussion and exchange in a comfortable ambiance.
You can easily register for the IMCOSEC workshop and will find more information on the project on the following website: http://www.imcosec.eu/workshops.htm .
Please take into account that the workshop date and location were chosen according to the event of the 5th Security Research Conference, SRC'10 , that will take place on the 22nd-24th September in Ostend in the Kursaal, near the IMCOSEC workshop premises. The IMCOSEC workshop time frame is aligned, so that you will have the opportunity to attend the SRC'10 from the beginning.
