Do you move to a warmer climate in the winter months?
Did you know that ACBL remits a portion of your annual ACBL Dues to your Unit of record?
You can help your Michigan Unit financially by requesting that ACBL permanently assign you to your respective District 12 Unit. This will ensure that the ACBL remittance will
continue to go to your respective unit. To do this all you need to do is contact Club and Member Services at ACBL 662-253-3127 and ask them to permanently assign you to your
respective Unit. For example, if you live in Kalamazoo, contact ACBL Club and Member Services and ask them to permanently assign you to the Western Michigan Bridge Association, Unit 195.
You will still need to submit a change of address to continue receiving your monthly ACBL Bridge Bulletin at your new address, but a portion of your annual dues will continue to go your permanent affiliated Unit.
It would be helpful if all club managers and directors would also pass this information along to players at your clubs.
For your information all District 12 Units are displayed below:
Unit Name | Abbreviation | Unit # |
Northwest Ohio Bridge Association | NOBA | 105 |

NY Nuke Plants' Owner Seeks License Extension
An administrator says federal regulators are researching whether nuclear plants can be licensed to run beyond the current limit of 60 years. WAMC's Dave Lucas reports…
The comment came as representatives of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission discussed the two Indian Point plants in the New York City suburbs.
Indian Point's owner is seeking new licenses that would extend the plants' life to 60 years. Regional administrator Bill Dean said Wednesday the NRC is looking into whether additional extensions could be granted. None of the nation's plants is more than 45 years old.
Dean said there is currently no procedure for licenses beyond 60 years. He said it will probably be several years before a decision is made.

We want to create a light box with a piece of stained glass at my church. It would involve putting 2 small flourecent fixtures in a wood enclosure to provide the back light. Of course this is a commercial building. Is there a concern with an NEC rules, or anything under UL (Underwriters Labratory) rules? Would using low voltage LED's make this legal? |
Follow-Up Postings:
As long as you don't modify the fixtures themselves and connect power to them as they are designed (either plug-in or hard wire) you should have no UL concerns. If the complete unit is plugged into an outlet, not hard-wired to the power source, there should be no NEC issue. As long as the finished product is well built, the insurance carrier should have no problems with it. |
Heat is the big problem, even with florescent lighting. While the tubes do not get very hot, the ballasts can. If you mount otherwise assembled fixtures and provide adequate air circulation to limit heat build up you are unlikely to have any significant issues. Make sure there is an opening at the the and bottom for air circulation behind the decorative glass. |

How To Falling Leaf On A Snowboard
Learning how to falling leaf on a snowboard is an effortless trick to master and learning how to do one is a breeze. The falling leaf is a fundamental process of movement down a downhill slope. Learning how to perform a falling leaf is not complicated at all. Tricks on a snowboard are a blast. The more you learn the more you will want to master. The falling leaf is one of those tricks that will become a staple and will lead you to tricks that are more intricate. Learning the falling leaf is geared towards the intermediate beginner. The falling leaf requires essential skills in balance and downhill. Look at these straightforward directions on how to perform a falling leaf and decide for yourself.
What you will need to perform a falling leaf:
- Snowboard
- Snowboarding gear
- Downhill slope
- Room to maneuver
- Strap in and take your position at the top of a downhill. Face perpendicular to the slope. You will be going down the mountain on your heel side. So, long portion of the snowboard facing downhill.
- Pointing slightly downhill, begin by leaning on either your left or right foot. The weight of your body will push you whichever direction your weight is. Once you go a little ways, switch the weight to the other foot. Your hips will control your motion.
- Continue back and forth down the mountain. Switching back and forth, as you do, this movement is a falling leaf. Be sure to maintain your heel side, all the way down the mountain.

Most of the work is done, but it's a tiring business. It looks a bit

Healthcare Debate Doesn't take a Break
POSTED: Sunday, December 6, 2009 - 7:35pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 11:06am
WASHINGTON, D.C. - President Obama is trying to rally Senate Democrats as they work through the weekend in hopes of settling differences on the health care overhaul.
One vote at a time, Senate Democrats are getting closer to a health care reform bill.
Lawmakers spent much or their Saturday voting on amendments to a two-thousand page bill designed to expand health care to millions.
"Fourteen-thousand people lose their health insurance every day. The American people don't get weekends off from this injustice," Democratic Senator Harry Reid says.
Hoping to silence the fierce disagreements for a short time, President Obama sat in on a Senate Democratic caucus meeting Sunday.
This in response to appeals from several lawmakers wanting him to step in and help Senator Reid finish the job.
Some Republicans, including Senator John Cornyn, see Obama's closed-door visit with Democrats a little differently.
"Majority leaders believes if stay weekend somehow going to blink...We're not going to blink," explains Senator Mitch McConnell (R).
John Cornyn told Fox News that he believes the meeting is a sign that President Obama is going to pursue "a partisan approach to health care reform" and that Democrats have decided to "do it their way without accepting input from Republicans.
As the health care reform machine races on to finish by Christmas, insiders say Democrats should keep in mind that those 60-votes needed to pass the bill aren't guaranteed just yet.

'Military vehicles': 243 Posts
Four-Links – first Geek Squad car, Brock and the Cadet, SARB Start, Tropfenwagen
* The first Geek Squad car? Given that Geek Squad was founded long before VW released the New Beetle, it wasn't one of those. Rather, as Motoramic wrote this week, it was a 1958 Simca Aronde, followed by a 1960 Ford Falcon, an ice cream truck, and a 1953 Morris Minor.
* Peter Brock participated in more than just the Corvette Sting Ray's design process while at GM. As we see on Brock Racing Enterprises's website, he also designed an Isetta-fighting microcar called the Cadet. Make of that what you will.
* We don't see nearly enough vans with fins, but that's probably because we don't live in Ukraine, where the GAZ M21-based SARB Start was built, as we learned from Truque this week.
* Over at The Old Motor, David Greenlees took a look at the Rumpler Tropfenwagen, an early attempt at introducing streamlining into automobile design.
* Finally, from the world of model cars, the Model Junkyard blog highlighted some of Hakan Guney's work, which bashes together all sorts of military vehicles (both winged and wheeled) to create some post-apocalyptic gnarliness.
Greenville, North Carolina, 1964
Why buy fruit cake? Because the banner told ya to. That is, the banner strung across some downtown street in Greenville, North Carolina, circa November 1964, as we see in this photo from the East Carolina University Digital Collections. But where to buy fruit cake? That might be the question on the mind of the woman apparently wandering aimlessly down the middle of the street. What do you see here?
Also, tank. But not tank. Also not Weasel.
Four-Links – Lambrecht love letter, Holabird revisited, SHADO jeep found, Henry Ford's paternalism
* We figured there'd be plenty of stories of interest in the aftermath of last fall's Lambrecht auction – such as the story behind the purchase of the $140,000 Chevrolet Cameo – but perhaps none are quite as touching as the story of the 1959 Chevrolet that Dean Sparks bought, which contained a love letter to Ronnie Waterbury, the mechanic at Lambrecht, from his soon-to-be-wife.
* Following up on our recent Jeep stories, Wagoneer fan Katie Sullivan sent us this link via Twitter about a visit to what little remains of Camp Holabird.
* Last year, we highlighted the recent discovery of the Straker car from the TV series U.F.O. and now it appears another one has surfaced, this time a Mini Moke-based S.H.A.D.O. jeep in a junkyard in the Canary Islands. Jeroen Booij has more on the find.
* When Henry Ford introduced a $5 per day wage a century ago, it came with plenty of strings attached, including constant and invasive surveillance by Ford's secret police, as Jalopnik's Michael Ballaban recently described.
* Finally, speaking of Henry Ford's heavy-handed tactics in dealing with his employees, The Henry Ford recently added to its archives a number of photos of the infamous Battle of the Overpass.
March Military Campaign revisited – more on the twin-engine Ford COE
B-24 bombers are big planes: 68 feet long, 110-foot wingspan, and a loaded weight of 55,000 pounds. It took four 1,200-hp turbosupercharged Pratt and Whitney radials to power them, and it took the largest industrial building under a single roof – the Willow Run bomber plant outside Ypsilanti, Michigan – to build them. And to ship their parts and sub-assemblies from one factory to another, it took an equally outsized fleet of vehicles: twin-engine Ford cab-over-engine trucks pulling 60-foot-long supertrailers.
We've taken a look at these gas-engine beasts before, but it seems that every time we run across new photos of them – including these two from The Henry Ford's Flickr pages, as pointed out by Bill McGuire at Mac's Motor City Garage – we see something we haven't before come across. Take, for instance, THF's caption for the above photo:
Many Ford Liberators are built into major assemblies and hauled away from Willow Run in a knock-down form. A large fleet of gigantic trailers such as this one haul the bomber assemblies to plants in the Southwest where they are put together into finished bombers. A crane is shown lifting some of the bomber parts into the trailer.
So, in addition to cranking out a B-24 every hour during World War II, the workers at Willow Run were also producing these massive sub-assemblies, and somehow it was more economical for them to do so and to ship the sub-assemblies by these massive purpose-built trucks to places as far away as San Diego; Fort Worth; Tulsa; and Grand Prairie, Texas, the other four factories tasked with building B-24s.
As for the truck itself, we've yet to come across one that looks quite like it. Other examples we've seen either had custom front sheetmetal grafted to widened pickup cabs literally sitting atop the dual side-by-side V-8 engines or used unwidened pre-1941 oval-grille COEs with the side-by-side V-8s mounted behind the cab, but this one used a widened 1941-up COE, with what appears to be a sleeper cab. McGuire lists several manufacturers of dual-engine Ford COEs – Grico, Thorco, E&L, Spangler and Merry-Neville – any of which could have built the above truck.
And while we're at it, here's how Willow Plant packed those giant trailers.
UPDATE (28.March 2014): One more below that we just came across on the Wayne State University Virtual Motor City project. The only context with it is that it's dated June 8, 1942.
"I did about everything a machine could do"
To go along with our recent story on the Ford Pygmy – the oldest existing jeep prototype – joining the National Historic Vehicle Register, let's check out this newsreel film that United Films released in 1943 relating a sanitized-for-the-masses and rally-round-the-troops story of the jeep's birth from the jeep's point of view. The story might be light-hearted, but we see quite a bit of footage of Bantams and other early jeeps undergoing testing and enduring quite a bit of abuse.

Of the three prototypes that automakers submitted for the U.S. Army's new lightweight scout car in the early days of World War II, Ford's Pygmy probably shouldn't have stood a chance. It wasn't the lightest, it wasn't the fastest, and it wasn't the first submitted. But it's still around today, making it the oldest jeep prototype tested by the Army as well as an excellent candidate for inclusion on the National Historic Vehicle Register.
Nowadays, nobody disputes the fact that Bantam was the first to submit a prototype for what would eventually become the quarter-ton jeep and eventually the postwar civilian Jeep. In 1940, with global war looming, the U.S. Army assessed its mechanical capabilities and found a need for a fast – and therefore lightweight – reconnaissance vehicle that could handle rugged terrain and deliver a machine gun or two to the front lines. Bantam seemed an ideal candidate for the job: It had plenty of experience building light, four-cylinder-powered cars at a time when most of the rest of the American automotive industry had abandoned fours for six- and eight-cylinder engines to power heavier cars; and as a small and agile company, it could theoretically respond to design requests quicker than larger manufacturers. In addition, as Patrick Foster wrote in The Story of Jeep, Bantam had already submitted specially modified cars to the Army for testing even before a committee of Army officers drew up the specifications for the quarter-ton four-wheel-drive scout car, so Bantam officials already had an idea of what the Army was looking for.
Indeed, on September 23, 1940, two months after submitting his designs, freelance engineer and designer Karl Probst delivered – on Bantam's behalf – the world's first jeep prototype, the Bantam Reconnaissance Car, which he drove from Bantam's factory in Butler, Pennsylvania, to Fort Holabird in Baltimore.
But others would soon follow. Both Willys and Ford had expressed interest in competing for the contract, and the Army figured that both had the capability to produce in volume that Bantam lacked, so the Army shared Probst's design with both companies, and Willys submitted its prototype – what later became known as the Quad – for testing on November 13 while Ford submitted two prototypes – the Pygmy, engine number GP-001; and a similar Budd-bodied jeep that was never tested, GP-002 – on November 23.
While the Army was looking for a car that would weigh less than 1,300 pounds, none of the three prototypes came close to that target: The Bantam Reconnaissance Car weighed 1,840 pounds dry; the Ford, 2,150 pounds; and the Willys, 2,450 pounds. The latter made up for its excess weight with its 60-hp four-cylinder, while the 45-hp Continental four-cylinder of the Bantam was deemed adequate, but the 42-hp four-cylinder of the Ford set it at a disadvantage. When it came to powertrains, Ford found itself at a disadvantage simply because, in 1940, it no longer offered four-cylinder engines in its domestic cars and trucks; it had to develop the 120-cu.in. flathead engine from its 9N tractor. For a transmission, Ford engineers essentially brought the Model A's transmission out of retirement, and they then mated it to a Spicer transfer case and axles.
The Ford Pygmy prototype, for all of its disadvantages, did introduce a number of innovations, including headlamps that hinge up to provide engine bay illumination, an under-the-seat gas tank to eliminate external fuel fillers, and a second top bow to keep the top from slapping the driver around. In addition, while the Bantam Reconnaissance Car and the Willys Quad (as well as the 69 BRC-60s that followed the pilot BRC) featured rounded hoodlines and grilles, the Ford Pygmy used a flat front grille constructed of welded flat stock that also doubled as a brush guard for the headlamps.
Regardless of the differences among the three prototypes, the Army ordered 1,500 more vehicles from each of the three competitors for the contract. Intriguingly, Army officials revised the maximum weight of the successor models upward to 2,160 pounds, just 10 pounds heavier than the Pygmy, suggesting that Ford representatives had somehow convinced Army officials that the weight of the Pygmy was sufficient.
From the models that the three companies then built – the Bantam BRC-40, the Willys MA, and the Ford GP – the Army would develop the final standardized version, the Willys MB, which Ford would also build as the GPW during the war.
As for the prototypes, all three went back to their respective companies. The Bantam Reconnaissance Car has since disappeared (documented as wrecked, and possibly rebuilt for testing by the Canadian military), as has the Willys Quad (which did show up in a circa 1963 photo along with Willys's successive military jeeps, as seen above). Both Ford prototypes, however, still exist. The Budd-bodied prototype, which toured the country during World War II, recently surfaced out West. The Ford Pygmy, which also toured the country during World War II, then reportedly served as a company car around Dearborn before Henry Ford II gave it to The Henry Ford in 1948. The Henry Ford, in turn, sold the Pygmy at a deaccession auction in September 1982 to Randy Withrow, who now has it displayed at the Veterans Memorial Museum in Huntsville, Alabama.
"The museum knew what it was when they sold it to me, but they said it didn't really fit their theme," Withrow said. He refused to say how much he paid for the Pygmy more than 30 years ago because he said he doesn't want people asking him if they can buy it for that much today. "But it doesn't matter, because it's not for sale at any price."

Withrow said that he had to do some minor work on the Pygmy after buying it, including a rebuild of the brake system and fuel system as well as sourcing the correct wheels and tires for it, but the Pygmy today remains largely as it was constructed and tested in 1940. "The intent is to leave it as undisturbed as possible," he said. "It still has the testing dirt on it. It still has the tiedown straps mounted to the frame; the Army never took 'em off, and I sure never will either."
It does run and drive, though with a little more than 1,100 original miles on the odometer, Withrow and the museum staff understandably don't take it out for excursions all that often.
Of the four criteria for a vehicle to be included in the National Historic Vehicle Register (association with important American historic events, association with important American historic figures, its design or construction value, and its informational value), the Ford Pygmy conceivably meets at least three, given its prototype status, the contributions it made to jeep design, and its role in the development of the military jeep, which has been lauded as one of the key weapons that helped win World War II.
Selection to the register involves a complete documentation of the vehicle, including a fully referenced narrative of the vehicle's provenance and full photography, which will then be placed in the Library of Congress. No restrictions are placed on subsequent use or sale of the vehicle.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715
I don't know why I keep posting vehicles I long for as HFOTDs. Doesn't make sense for a couple of reasons: first because I'm alerting y'all to this particular vehicle I want, and second, because I'm in some small way elevating the profile of the vehicle in the collector car scene. You're welcome. I also don't know why I keep longing for vehicles that will likely send my kidneys running away in fear, vehicles like this running and driving and apparently rust-free 1967 Kaiser Jeep M715 for sale on Hemmings.com. Just looking at it makes my spine compress. So maybe it's a good thing I'm not hoarding this find to myself. From the seller's description:
This is a 5/4 ton, 4WD truck with the original Jeep Tornado straight 6 engine. Nice bright red paint with the bed sprayed black. Seats are fully restored with new padding and black vinyl covers. Brand new black canvas top with roll-up rear panel and rear clear window. Jeep runs very well. I have a clear NC title in hand with no liens. I also have it tagged for NC, but I run a vintage 1967 NC plate since this is considered and antique vehicle in North Carolina. This is one of the nicest M715 trucks that you will find for sale. Most are rusting away with tons of work needed to restore to this condition.

Cars of Futures Past – Willys MB
Photos courtesy Chrysler Group LLC.
For those born after the Second World War, it's hard to envision a time without the go-anywhere, do-almost-anything Jeep. Created by a War Department need for a four-wheel-drive light reconnaissance vehicle, the Jeep won the hearts of those it served in combat, and then proved a sales success among sportsmen, farmers and ranchers in peacetime America. It's no exaggeration to say the Jeep created the off-roading hobby, and its incredible success can be traced back to a single ancestor – the Willys MB.
To be clear, Willys-Overland Motors wasn't the first company to submit a design to the U.S. Army for testing. When the solicitation for bids went out on July 11, 1940, American Bantam, Ford and Willys all expressed interest in the project, but Bantam won the initial contract by agreeing to meet the Army's near-impossible deadline and delivering a single example for evaluation within 45 days. Tests of Bantam's "Blitz Buggy" proved promising, so the Army ordered an additional 70 units for further evaluation.
Representatives of both Ford and Willys were present at the Bantam trials, and the War Department provided each manufacturer with copies of the blueprints for the Bantam submission (which was now deemed property of the U.S. government). Aided by the development work performed by Bantam, both automakers submitted their own prototypes for evaluation in the fall of 1940. The Willys entry, dubbed the "Quad," and Ford's entry, called the "Pygmy," were then subjected to testing alongside the Bantam BRC 60. Proving how desperate the need for such a vehicle was, the Army declared all companies the winner and immediately ordered nearly 8,000 examples for extensive field trials, with the bulk of the order (3,700) awarded to Ford, followed by Bantam (2,642) and Willys (1,500).
Early submissions proved that some of the government-specified criteria were unrealistic; the mandated weight of 1,300 pounds could not be achieved, so this contract allowed vehicles to weigh as much as 2,160 pounds. Names of supplied vehicles were changed as well, with the Bantam now called the BRC 40, the Ford called the GP and the Willys called the MA. Thousands of miles of testing, usually under the harshest of circumstances, revealed that all had strengths and weaknesses. The troops in the field, however, showed a preference for the Willys MA, largely on the strength of its 63 horsepower Go-Devil four-cylinder engine.
By the summer of 1941, the Army had chosen the Willys design as its preferred light reconnaissance vehicle, awarding the low-volume automaker with a contract to produce 16,000 units of its finalized MB design. It also helped that Willys was the lowest bidder, and its per unit cost of $748.74 was $39.58 less expensive than Bantam and $33.85 less than Ford. Within months it became apparent that Willys couldn't build inventory fast enough to meet demand, so Ford was contracted to build the Willys design under the GPW name. By the end of the war, 634,569 Jeeps had been constructed, including 2,642 by Bantam, 281,578 by Ford and 350,349 by Willys.
Its capabilities were the stuff of legend, and the Jeep was nearly unstoppable in terrain as varied as desert sand and winter snow. Jeeps were used to plow runways, cut trenches for telephone wire, and, fitted with steel wheels, even reportedly used to haul railroad freight cars. The Jeep gave front-line troops previously unimagined mobility, and even generals soon realized the benefit of high-speed mobility in reviewing troops. None other than General George C. Marshall, the Army's chief of staff, called the Jeep, "America's greatest contribution to modern warfare."
During the war, few thought that such a purpose-built vehicle, with virtually no concessions to comfort or amenities, would later see demand from a peacetime civilian population. Willys experimented with introducing the Jeep for agricultural purposes, but in the end the "Universal Jeep" name won out over the "Agrijeep" name, and on July 17, 1945, Willys began production of the Universal Jeep CJ-2A. The company's future would temporarily ride on the Jeep's success, as the small manufacturer found itself unable to compete against larger automakers in the purchase of machine tools necessary to ramp up production of civilian automobiles. In peacetime, the Jeep would once again come to the rescue, saving Willys from what would have been almost certain business failure.
The Jeep has won its share of honors over the years as well, with one Guadalcanal survivor Willys MB awarded a "Purple Heart" for wounds sustained in combat before being enshrined in the Marine Corps Museum at Quantico, Virginia. In 1991, 50 years after Willys was awarded the U.S. Army contract, the Willys MB was recognized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as an International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark.
Since its creation, the Willys MB has spawned similar vehicles from Land Rover, Toyota, Suzuki and others, and was largely responsible for the development of off-roading as a hobby. The popularity of SUVs can be partially attributed to the Jeep as well, even though most would be left trailside, broken and bleeding, if they tried to match the MB's capabilities. Though modern Jeep Wranglers bear only a passing resemblance to the MB (and offer drivers creature comforts unimaginable in 1945), the fact that a modern evolved version is still in production more than seven decades on proves the merit of the Jeep's basic design.

Correction: In April's INEOS New Planet Joint Venture story, the company plans to invest $130 million in the facility, not $103 million as stated. The plant's ultimate size has also been scaled back from 72 million gallons of ethanol per year to 8 million gallons per year.
Pilots take note: Pilot Getaways, a national travel destination magazine for private pilots, featured Stuart and Stuart's Witham Filed in its March/April issue. "Stuart, Florida: Sailfish, Sunshine, and Small Town Ambiance," showcases "What to Do" and "Where to Stay" adding a little excitement, history and photos. Featured experiences included sailfishing, museum hopping, shopping and shows. Magazine contributor Patricia Strutz ferreted out activities that may even be new to some year-round residents. Strutz sent a letter of thanks to the Martin County Convention and Visitor's Bureau, David Smith at Galaxy Aviation, Gary Guertin, Capt. Larry Newman, Paul Daly at Flagler Grill, Jacque Lewis at Courtyard Marriott-Stuart, and all featured businesses for helping her.

INEOS New Planet BioEnergy: INEOS New Planet BioEnergy project in Indian River County and Clearwire LLC of Santa Rosa County have been awarded Trade & Industry Development magazine's 2011 CiCi Awards for Community Impact. Both projects were recommended for the awards by EnterpriseFlorida, the state's economic development agency. Winners are featured in the March/April edition of Trade & Industry Development, distributed monthly to site selection consultants and corporate executives nationwide.
CiCi, acronym for Corporate Investment and Community Impact, recognizes business investment and its impact on the community and the economic developers driving the effort. In Indian River County, the INEOS New Planet BioEnergy waste-to-biofuel and energy production facility was championed by County Commissioners and the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce.
"We began working with the INEOS New Planet BioEnergy team in May of 2008. It's exciting to see a project of this magnitude come to fruition," said Helene Caseltine, economic development director for Indian River County Chamber of Commerce. "The INEOS New Planet BioEnergy Center is a triple-win, providing jobs and economic diversification for Indian River County and Florida's Research Coast, helping the environment by diverting landfill waste to create ethanol utilizing a clean safe process, and lessening our dependence on foreign oil. It's also using a feedstock not in competition with human consumption, i.e. corn."
@Jump inside:Please see PULSE, page 15
Furthermore, the project appears to have secured a spot for Indian River on the alternative energy map. "Similar firms, as well as those in the support industries, are making inquiries about setting up business operations in the area. Locally, it will benefit our tourism industry as potential users visit the demonstration site to see the process firsthand, staying in our hotels and eating in our restaurants," said Caseltine. "This will also be the training site for future BioEnergy Centers, as the trainees come in from all over the country for an extended period, again filling hotels and area restaurants."

In Missouri, probate records have usually been recorded by the clerks of the probate courts, but in some counties the common pleas or circuit courts handled this function. They are frequently indexed.
Taxes were levied on free white males over 21 and slaves aged 21 to 60. These persons are referred to as "polls." Tax listings, or digests, of a county generally list the taxable landowners and other polls and the amount of tax. The records for each county are divided by militia district. For more information see the wiki page Missouri Taxation.

ABC News' Jon Karl Reports: Here we go again: tax problems for another cabinet nominee. In this case, HHS nominee Kathleen Sebelius has informed the Senate Finance Committee that an audit of her and her husband's 2005, 2006, 2007 tax returns has revealed some "unintentional errors, which we immediately corrected." As a result, Sebelius and her husband have filed amended returns and paid $7,040 in back taxes and $878 in interest. Unlike the $128,000 dollar mistake that doomed Tom Daschle's nomination for the same job, Sebelius's errors appear minor. The tax issues were discovered after she hired certified public account to review her past tax returns. The problems fell into three categories: 1) She could not locate receipts on three charitable contributions (you need receipts for contributions over $250) 2) In July 2006, she sold her house for less than the amount of her mortgage (she was under water back in 2006!). As she kept paying off the loan balance, she improperly took a home mortgage interest deduction. 3) She could not locate receipts for some business expenses she claimed. The problems don't appear likely to derail her nomination. In fact, shortly after he learned of the problems, Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-MT) put out a statement strongly supporting her nomination. "Congress is going to need a strong partner at the Department of Health and Human Services to achieve comprehensive health reform this year, and we have that partner in Governor Sebelius," said Baucus. "There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Governor Sebelius has the political experience, determination, and bipartisan work ethic to get the job done with Congress this year. She's the right person for the job and I look forward to hearing from her at the Finance Committee's hearing on Thursday."

NYU School of Engineering's Cyber Security Program is an internationally recognized center of excellence in information assurance and cyber security.
With the ever-increasing scale of interconnected information systems, concerns about cyber security dangers and threats increase daily. NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering Cyber Security Lecture Series provides an arena for high-level discussion among world-class scholars and practitioners. Sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, lectures and panel discussions are designed to raise the visibility of risks and issues, including personal privacy. Internationally renowned experts join together to stimulate collaborative thinking, especially among New York's regional businesses, government agencies, nonprofits, academic institutions, media, and the public. Practical and timely, the series also focuses on possible strategies that address the impact of growing risks.
Surviving on a Diet of Poisoned Fruit: Reducing the Risks of America's Cyber Dependencies: Archive
Past Event: Wednesday, December 10, 2014
White House Insights on the President's Critical Infrastructure Framework
Past Event: March 10, 2014
In his Distinguished Lecture, Richard Danzig proposes strategies for coping with a security paradox presented by cyber systems: As digital systems grant us unprecedented powers, they also make us less secure. While their immense communication capabilities enable wide scale collaboration and networking, they open doors to unprecedented intrusion. Concentrations of data and manipulative power vastly improve efficiency and scale, but these attributes increase the amount that can be stolen or subverted by successful attack. While we are now empowered to retrieve and manipulate data on our own, this beneficial "democratization" removes a chain of human approvals that served as safeguards. In sum, cyber systems nourish us, but at the same time, they weaken and poison us. Wise strategies, aimed at safeguarding the nation's data storehouse of vital information, must embrace a mix of technical responses, economic and business judgments, and policy choices. Focusing on Federal government vulnerabilities--but noting implications for all users--Dr. Danzig argues that we are not doing nearly as well as we could and recommends several paths to improvement.

Online Learning Consortium Names NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering's Cyber Security Virtual Master's Nation's Outstanding Online Program.
The Online Learning Consortium (OLC), the country's most prominent association of academic institutions and practitioners, championing online higher education, has recognized NYU School of Engineering's Cyber Security virtual Master's degree as the nation's Outstanding Online Program. More than half of all students in the school's Master's in Cyber Security are presently enrolled in its online program.
U.S. News & World Report ranks NYU School of Engineering's Online Engineering Master's among the best online engineering programs.
The NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering dates to 1854, when the NYU School of Civil Engineering and Architecture as well as the Brooklyn Collegiate and Polytechnic Institute (widely known as Brooklyn Poly) were founded. Their successor institutions merged in January 2014 to create a comprehensive school of education and research in engineering and applied sciences, rooted in a tradition of invention, innovation and entrepreneurship. In addition to programs at its main campus in downtown Brooklyn, it is closely connected to engineering programs in NYU Abu Dhabi and NYU Shanghai, and it operates business incubators in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. For more information, visit http://engineering.nyu.edu.
New York University, founded in 1831, is one of the world's foremost research universities and is a member of the selective Association of American Universities. NYU has degree-granting university campuses in New York, Abu Dhabi, and Shanghai; has eleven other global academic sites, including London, Paris, Florence, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, and Accra; and sends more students to study abroad than any other U.S. college or university. Through its numerous schools and colleges, NYU conducts research and provides education in the arts and sciences, law, medicine, business, dentistry, education, nursing, the cinematic and performing arts, music and studio arts, public administration, engineering, social work, and continuing and professional studies, among other areas.

With everything moving to the cloud, the need for virtualization architects/engineers has increased. And when it comes to virtualization, VMware takes the cake. "VMware is the gold standard. And, then under that you have Citrix and Microsoft Hyper-V making a push," Billiar said.
Although VAR Staffing has had requests from clients for IT professionals with Microsoft's MCITP Virtualization Administrator certificate, the VMware Certified Professional (VCP) and Citrix Certified Integration Architect (CCIA) for Virtualization dominate. "The two major virtualization certs are the VMware certs and the Citrix CCIA," Bier said. "You can't have a big data environment without a virtualization solution, which is VMware."
"Where we see more [demand for] the Citrix [certification] is in the remote desktop or application delivery vs. the data center/server virtualization," Billiar said.

And she still wonders why I'm so insecure she giggles
Because I sleep with the...
[Girl] can I throw panties on stage, like can I be a fucking groupie
And just fuck you because you're on stage
And other girls want to fuck you?
[Slug] See bands like us don't get groupies
[Girl] Noooo?
[Slug] yeah
[Girl] you guys are full of shit
[Slug] No it's not full of shit I mean have you guys ever heard our songs
I mean basically?
[Girl] That's what I'm saying
[Slug] Exactly that's what I'm saying
Smile, smile with me, smile with me, smile with me, please won't you...
Oh look at her she's looking as good as dinner
And she's looking back at me as if maybe I'm a winner
I'm in my late twenties little girl don't flirt with me
I've got the capapbilities to program your circutry
You don't have to believe me do yourself a little justice
Don't let slug undercook your muffins
Wait wait wait did I just say that I did must be losing it
Because it almost felt like it might just have some truth in it
Now back to the platter at hand she said she's twenty-one
And quit school to go work for the man
A switch up in the plan now she's happy as a chorus
Cause now she makes rent and now she drives a Taurus
Unwinding hanging out at the bar,
I wonder if she knows that I'm not really a star
She seems to be impressed by lack of an ego and my self-aware style,
I like the way that she smiles
She want to know how I find the words
I do I don't really know but I can lie if you want me to
Angels sing to me in my sleep,
I sold my damaged soul for the magic of speech
And now she's laughing she likes the sarcasm
So naturally I'm asking if she 's got a captain
She says a captain what?
You mean a man at home the answer is no I came to this bar alone
Well heavens to betty enough about boyfriends already
Just trying to keep the conversation petty
Beacuse as much as I would like to play in the forest
Ain't no way this girl is going to break into my fortress
I've never made a practice of introducing the matress
To women that I meet at my own gig
I don't know can't imagine anything as alchohol and hormones
Turning out to be anything big
But babys hella beautiful and even kind of bright
I got the fire of a vampire inside me tonight
Might be alright eveything seems tight
I've got a good buzz and she's giving me the green light
So tell me girl what ya doing after
She says hopefully hanging out with my new favorite rapper
Now wait a minute that's not fair your throwing boulders
I can tell by the way your hair touches your shoulders
Be straight with me and I'll be me with you
I can think of some of us that we should do so if you think
I'm coming home with you tonight you're probably right
You're pobably right a few more beers a couple more laughs
Undressing my past with the questions she asks
Yes, I love cats and I would love to take a bath
If I spent the night would you massage my back
She's closing in for the embrace
And slightly tucks her hand under my face
Her hair smells so good I got to have a taste
Where's your ford let's ditch this place
And in the parking lot she sparked it off
She must be starving for someone to hit the harp
I've never been kissed with such passionate bliss
Porn star damn near tore my lips apart
Honey slow it up hold it up start the car
Let's leave this garage le'ts go to your apartment
Lyndale ave. on the way to the her rest
Her drunk ass turn to look at me and she says
You're so beautiful from the hair to the soles
I know, can't belive that I never met you before
Feels liike I've been waiting for you me whole life
She missed the red light we hit a pick-up truck and we both DIED

Jonas Bjerre of Mew
Unusual & Unexpected
Matt Crawford
(Jul 21, 2009)
Mews brand of rock, with its multiple layers, time changes and unconventional arrangements, is hard to categorize. Perhaps thats why the Danish band found it hard to name its fifth album with a simple word or phrase. The group returns to the U.S. on the eve of the release of [b]No more stories, are told today, Im sorry, they washed away, No more stories, the world is grey, Im tired, Lets wash away[/b] for a string of solo gigs and dates opening for unlikely bedfellows Nine Inch Nails. See Mew in San Francisco at The Independent on September 4th. Jonas Bjerre (vocals/guitar) spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from Copenhagen.

Outside Lands 2009
The Best of the Fest
Matt Crawford
(Jul 14, 2009)
After a brief scramble following the cancellation of the Beastie Boys headlining appearance, the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival planners are making final preparations for the three-day event, which starts August 28th. Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band and Tenacious D anchor the concert each night, respectively, while a far-reaching mix of acts fill the bill each day. In addition, associated night shows are planned at local venues, and a new tent on festival grounds hosted by local theatrical-circus group Vau de Vire Society that will feature a variety of music acts and other attractions. SF Stations top picks for the festival are below:

Nate Grover of Love is Chemicals
The Icing on the Cake
Matt Crawford
(Jul 06, 2009)
The buzz surrounding Love is Chemicals has settled to a din lately, but the San Francisco band recently reached two major milestones. A year after the band self-released its sophomore album, [b]Song of the Summer Youth Brigade[/b] was re-released by SF-based label Three Ring Records. It also recently completed its most extensive tour to date -- a weeklong trek around the Pacific Northwest. But don't expect any great changes with the group. Nate Grover (vocals/guitar) is content juggling band duties and his multiple day jobs. He spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from his cubicle during a break.

Squeak E. Clean of N.A.S.A.
Out of this World
Matt Crawford
(Jun 30, 2009)
With the 40th anniversary of the moon landing just weeks behind us, San Francisco gets a landing of its own when production duo N.A.S.A. touches down with its Intergalactic Circus tour on August 15th at The Independent. The groups debut LP [b]The Spirit of Apollo[/b] was released earlier this year with a star-filled list of guest appearances, including David Byrne, Karen O, the late Ol Dirty Bastard, Santigold and several others. SF Station caught up with Squeak E. Clean, who forms N.A.S.A. with DJ Zegon, during a phone interview before a recent show in Berlin.

Jesy Fortino of Tiny Vipers
An Emotional Journey
Matt Crawford
(Jun 24, 2009)
For Jesy Fortino, touring solo as Tiny Vipers is a sometimes-tedious job. The singer-songwriter, whose arrangements are composed of minimalist acoustic guitar arpeggios topped with somber vocals, pours deeply personal thoughts into her songs. To share them with an audience on an almost nightly basis can be unnerving and disheartening at times, she said during a phone interview from the road outside of Salt Lake City. Her latest Album, [b]Life on Earth[/b], was released by Sub Pop this month. Tiny Vipers performs at the Hemlock Tavern on July 28th and at the Stork Club in Oakland on July 29th.

Simone Rubi
Exploding from the Center
Matt Crawford
(Jun 17, 2009)
Simone Rubi is a citizen of the world, bouncing around Europe and North America over the last four years, gathering inspiration and borrowing musicians for Rubies, her folky synth-pop band with Terri Lowenthal and Nicolas Dobbratz. Rubi spoke with SF Station from Oakland, where she is living for six weeks this summer before spreading her wings and flying away again. The album, [b]Explode from the Center[/b], was officially released in June on iTunes and Rubies celebrated its debut in July.

Its a little daunting stepping into an interview with directions to not ask anything personal but, despite the caveat, Blonde Redheads Kazu Makino remained warm and friendly and allowed for some minor prodding. The trio, rounded out with twin brothers Amedeo and Simone Pace, will take a break from working on new material for two performances in San Francisco on July 14th and 15th for the Bike Film Festival at The Independent. Makino spoke with SF Station during a phone interview from New York.

Simon OConnor of Amazing Baby
Another Amazing Band from Brooklyn
Matt Crawford
(May 26, 2009)
Brooklyns Amazing Baby has earned comparisons to their friends MGMT and Led Zeppelin with heavy rock songs that reach for psychedelic and mythical references without being overtly hippy. The group, in the midst of a tour opening for French buzz-band Phoenix, stops in San Francisco June 27th for a set at the Spectrum Festival at the Regency Ballroom before returning to San Francisco for the final installment of Popscene vs. Loaded at Rickshaw Stop on July 3rd. Guitarist Simon OConnor spoke with SF Station from the streets of Kansas City, where he was in search of a pharmacy before Amazing Babys show there.

Ethan Miller of Howlin Rain
Blood, Sweat and Rehearsals
Matt Crawford
(May 19, 2009)
Its been nearly a year since Howlin Rain booked a proper gig on their home turf in the Bay Area, but the band has a good excuse. After spending most of 2008 on the road, the band is prepping its third album under the guidance of super-producer Rick Rubin. But fear not, Howlin Rain returns June 27th for a show at Oaklands Uptown Nightclub. Ethan Miller (vocals/guitar) spoke with SF Station about the new project, punk rock and his Humboldt County origins during a phone interview from his Oakland home.

text: An 18 hectare plot straddling lychees orchards and farms in Chainpur village of Muzaffarpur district is in the middle of a dispute. Balmukund Cement and Roofing Ltd, a cement and roofing company, is constructing an asbestos fibre and cement roofing plant on the land. Villagers nearby are opposing it because they say the company bought land from them on the pretext of building a farmhouse but instead started constructing the factory. The Chainpur villagers say the construction is illegal since the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has not given environmental clearance to the project. The mandatory public hearing is yet to be held.
