<history of philosophy, biography> although born in France and educated at Toulouse and Geneva, Pierre Bayle (1647-1706) spent most of his life in Holland, as the leading member of an active intellectual community at Rotterdam. The early writings of this French Protestant include a plea for broad political toleration of divergent opinions on religion. His greatest work is the incredibly ambitious Dictionnaire historique et critique (Historical and Critical Dictionary) (1697), which could reasonably be regarded as Western culture's first significant hypertext document. Although its articles about obscure ancient and modern figures sometimes contain little information of direct interest, Bayle used them as the starting-points for a complex series of endnotes, sidenotes, and footnotes in which he addressed contemporary philosophical nand theological concerns. Bayle's predominant theme was a profound skepticism about human knowledge, derived originally from his admiration of the ancient Pyrrhonists but applied strictly to the new science and philosophy of his own time. He used the fact of animal thinking as evidence against Cartesian efforts to establish the unique status of an immaterial human soul. On the other hand, he also argued that the untenability of the primary / secondary quality distinction poses an insurmountable difficulty for both rationalism and empiricism. On religious matters, Bayle delighted in pointing out contradictions between theological tenets and the self-evident dictates of reason. This declaration of the fundamental irrationality of Christianity, however, left ample room for adherence to a rigorous fideism about god and revelation. Bayle's treatment of such issues posed important challenges for the development of modern thought and were greatly influential on the philosophy of Hume.

More reviews by Mollieismehehe
This shadow quad includes four shades: vanilla, sable, deep amethyst, and golden pink.The vanilla is a white/cream colored shadow. It's a good highlight. The sable is a medium dark brown that is nice for contouring in the creases. The deep amethyst is a dark purple shade with specks of glitter. EHH. never had much use for this shade. The golden pink is a nice pretty middle of the road pink. Not my favorite. This quad is good quality but the pigmentation isn't amazing or anything. I will use it up but not repurchase.

Vance Runnels returns as auctioneer for Victoria Livestock Show
Jennifer Lee Preyss
Feb. 22, 2014 at 6:01 p.m.
Updated Feb. 21, 2014 at 8:22 p.m.
• LICENSED: 1994, Missouri Auction School
• JOB TITLE: Auction manager, Texas Deer Association
• MORE INFO: runnelsmarketing.com, victorialivestockshow.com
If You Go:
• Victoria Livestock Show Auction
• Victoria Community Center Dome, 2905 E North St.
• 4 p.m. March 3 - 4-H, FFA Awards and Scholarships presentation
• 4:30 p.m. March 3 - Sale begins
Vance Runnels has been livestockin' since he was a boy - showcasing steers, heifers and pigs.
But as he outgrew the auctions, he made a career decision to move behind the judges' table and join ranks with some of Texas' finest professional auctioneers.
Licensed since 1994, Runnels, of Hondo, serves as auction manager for the Texas Deer Association, in which he has conducted more whitetail deer auctions than any other auctioneer in the state, he said.
For the second consecutive year, Runnels was invited to serve as auctioneer for the 68th annual Victoria Livestock Show. And his appearance, as always, is expected to be high energy and full steam ahead.
"My job is to create excitement among the buyers, keep the rhythm and the pace and move things forward," Runnels said. "Victoria is great. I was amazed last year with the livestock show on a Monday, that so much of the community came out on a weekday to support the youth."
Billie Hessler, Livestock Show auction chairwoman, said Runnels' auctioneering professionalism was top-shelf last year, which is why the show reached out to him again.
"He came highly recommended," she said. "Hopefully we can continue to get him every year."
Runnels said he's excited to kick off this year's auction and hopes to break dollar records for the child and teen participants.
"I love interacting with the kids and seeing them get involved," he said. "It's going to be another good show."

Beginning in 2012, The Ag Commissioner's Office conducted an enhanced vine mealybug trapping program of 25 traps per square mile, well above the previous regimen of seven traps per square mile. By analyzing the number of males found in each of the traps, staff is able to detect new areas of infestation as well as track reductions in population.
Maps of 2013 Vine Mealybug finds in Napa County now available:

Winery Vine Mealybug Guidelines
Argentine ant management: Liquid bait program for vineyards
Mealybugs are soft, oval-bodied insects that are pink in color with a white waxy covering that extends into filaments along the margins of their bodies. Adult females lay their eggs in a white, cottony ovisac. Eggs hatch into small nymphs that are called crawlers. These young nymphs are highly mobile and may move or be carried by birds, wind, or ants to other vines. Nymphs gradually increase in size to become adult females or males. Females are the typically observed form of the mealybug, and adult males look quite different. They look like tiny wasps and are active fliers that locate the adult females by pheromone attraction. Several biological factors combine to make Vine Mealybug (VMB) a pest of great concern:
In the words of Mark Battany, UCCE Viticulture Farm Advisor in San Luis Obispo County: "The vine mealybug has the potential to become our most damaging and expensive insect pest in California vineyards."
Ongoing Pest Management Programs Necessary
This is a special challenge in this era of reduced input and sustainable farming and requires vineyard managers to be informed, diligent, and persistent to produce high-quality fruit that is not fouled by honeydew, mold, or insects.
Growth and Vigor Reduction
VMB feeds on the plant sap of the vines and reproduces rapidly to develop high populations — the result being the reduction of vine vigor, fruit set, and growth.
Fouling of Fruit
VMB excretes large amounts of honeydew as it feeds, providing a substrate for the growth of sooty mold and reducing the quality of the harvested grapes, to the extent that fruit from untreated vines is unmarketable.
The vine mealybug, Planococcus ficus, is an exotic pest first found in California in the Coachella Valley, Riverside County in 1994. In 1998, it was detected in Kern County and Fresno County, where it was probably introduced on contaminated vineyard equipment from the Coachella Valley. For the next few years, it is believed that grapevine nurseries in the southern San Joaquin Valley shipped infested vines throughout the state before they realized the seriousness of the pest. Currently most, if not all, California grape-producing counties have infestations, including Alameda, Amador, El Dorado, Fresno, Kern, Lake, Merced, Monterey, Napa, Riverside, Sacramento, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma, and Tulare, and Yolo.
The threat posed by the Vine Mealybug to our vineyard and winery industry is a serious one. The insect should not be allowed to become widespread in Napa County. Low populations are less likely to spread so it is imperative to take positive steps to manage VMB . Widespread infestation means increased pest management costs in our vineyards into the indefinite future. Besides adding significantly to production costs, increases in pesticide use would be an affront to sustainability programs, and result in negative consumer reactions.

Subway sued over 11-inch "Footlongs"

TBH I'm glad they are suing. These big corporation bend us over and butt fug us on just about everything and we take it because we don't have the energy to fight back. If someone is willing to take a stand good for them. 1 inch multiplied by millions of sandwiches is a ton of money. We get screwed on pretty much everything we buy. Food at the grocery store isn't meeting FDA standards. I bought the 2 year protection plan (that's supposed to cover everything) for an XBOX and my brother in law tells me there are so many restrictions on it that I basically wasted 40 bucks. We need people to reel in these big businesses from time to time.
you don't have enough energy to not buy subway? you must be exhausted.

Mine's really 4" but nothing wrong with telling the ladies it 5"
it's not very long but it sure is skinny
Posted 25 January 2013 - 07:17 PM
but it does make you wonder...I know it's only an inch (hee hee) but how much money are they saving by knocking that extra inch off??
I'd guess about 8.5%.

I've heard upwards of 800 a pound! Need to go hunt'n for shure!
Anybody hearing any news on root prices.
I've heard upwards of 800 a pound! Need to go hunt'n for shure!
If you don't scout your gonna pout.
where they payen those prices???
Last we heard (first of the week) was $350-400 and $20 for yellow root. If it is $800 please provide the info.
jason pedigo
couldn't tell ya that is just what everyone around here has told me. I have dug a little before but never sold any. My Grandma and cousin diggs it every year. They got 600-750 last year I can't remember which. But it is high around here. This is the Owensborow litchfield area. I don't even know who buys it around here!
If you don't scout your gonna pout.
I just got off the phone with a fella from litchfield and he said he had been paying 415.00 but was going to wait and see what the market does this week.
Well I went to Paintsville Sat. and the price had droped to $288.00 a pound from $450.00 last weekend. Yellow root was still $25.00 a pound. If the price on "sang" dont go back up I will still have mine next year, it's not eating anything and i'm not going to give it away.
I ain't giving mine away either.I dug eight roots tonight but it is almost all dried up and gone.
My dad has been paying 400$+ depending on the quality, and amount of roots. Last year the demand was high...supply was low, you do the math. Dad paid 700$ for some last year. Doesn't know what its doing now, but if you don't need the money now, I would hold out for a bit and see how it turns out. I see the market going up again, unlikely 800$, but more higher than were seeing now.
Shop around, espically if you have high quality stuff.

My college-savings secrets
February 28, 2012
When Donna set up college savings accounts for her children more than two decades ago, she had one goal: to have her two kids graduate without having to borrow.
"My parents paid for my schooling -- it's always been my goal to get my kids out of school debt-free," she says.
Today, with her daughter holding a bachelor's degree in fine arts from a private university and her son completing his sophomore year at a state school, the New Jersey-based professional photographer has almost realized her dream.
Funding a child's college education can seem like a daunting task, and having more than one college-bound child can make it even more challenging. But these five tips can make funding your children's education a manageable goal:
1. Plan ahead
Like saving for retirement, the earlier you start planning for your child's college education, the better.
Donna and her husband, Bob, who works in the aerospace industry, set up a 529 College Savings Plan to fund college. Similar to a Roth IRA, a 529 allows participants to make after-tax contributions, which can be withdrawn tax-free to be put toward tuition, room and board, and other education-related expenses.
Donna and Bob, whose household income is about $150,000 a year, started contributing to their children's 529s shortly after their births, and also received $1,000 annual gifts for each child from her parents.
"The ideal is to start saving when your child is born, because your greatest asset is time," says Mark Kantrowitz, publisher of FinAid.org, a financial aid information site. "Even if you're starting very late in the game, it's still worth saving. It's cheaper to save than to borrow."
2. Insure an educated future
Another savings strategy is to take out a variable universal life insurance policy, according to Rich Arzaga, CFP, founder and CEO of Cornerstone Wealth Management.
Here's how such a policy works: For an investment of $5,000 a year in premiums for 17 years, assuming an interest rate of 8 percent, when your child is 18, you should be able to withdraw $40,000 a year for four years.
The policies offer tax-free withdrawals and another key advantage: "If you don't use the funds for college, you can use them for anything you want," Arzaga says.
3. Look to the FAFSA
No matter your savings, you and your child should fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid on Jan. 1 or soon thereafter during your child's senior year of high school and each subsequent year of college.
"It's the main entry point to getting money from federal and state government and almost all colleges," Kantrowitz says.
Donna and Bob turned in the FAFSA for their daughter's first year to no avail: As the owners of two properties, they didn't qualify for aid. For that reason, they didn't go to the time or trouble to resubmit the form for their daughter's remaining three years.
"If you own anything, you don't get any money -- we soon realized it was a waste of time," Donna says.
But for many students, the FAFSA will offer federal money to help augment savings, so there's no reason not to try it.
4. Examine scholarships
There's a universe of scholarship funds waiting to be tapped, from the well-known National Merit Scholarship to lesser known grants, like a $25,000 offering from Jif peanut butter. Kantrowitz's other site, FastWeb.com, offers a free scholarship matching service that lists thousands of possibilities.
"Most families wait until spring of senior year, but there are deadline dates distributed throughout the year," Kantrowitz says.
Donna's daughter was fortunate to receive a scholarship from her school worth about $12,000 a year that went a long way toward defraying her annual tuition of more than $30,000.
5. Borrow as needed
If you need to borrow to fund college, opt for loans backed by the federal government because they usually offer lower interest rates and better repayment terms. Private student loans may entice with a lower interest rate initially, but they're usually variable, so they will cost more in the long run, Kantrowitz says.
Donna, despite having sufficient funds in her son's 529, opted to pay two semesters worth of his $24,000 annual tuition with her home equity line of credit because the interest rate of 2.24 percent was so much lower than the 7 percent return from the 529.
Remember this rule of thumb when deciding how much a student should borrow: "Your total educational debt should be less than your expected annual salary in your first job," Kantrowitz says.
Taking on the task
While Donna and Bob had the resources and foresight to save for their children's entire educations, not everyone will prove capable of achieving this. But if you educate yourself on the best options to see your child through college, you may be surprised how much you can help -- even if you didn't start saving from your child's birth.

Robin's Healthy Take: Savory Grapefruit
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, January 16, 2012Grapefruit season is awesome. The tangy, vitamin C-rich fruit provides a burst of sunshine when the days are short and cold. At home, we enjoy grapefruit halves for breakfast, but I also love using the juice, sections and grated rind in savory dishes. Behold two amazing dishes showcasing these round wonders. The first is a fresh and wonderful baked chicken dish bursting with tart grapefruit, sweet honey and tangy Dijon mustard. The minced onion and garlic create a fabulous crust while lending their own distinct flavors. The second dish is a shrimp salad, loaded with grapefruit, black beans, green onions and cilantro. The vinaigrette is light and refreshing and reminiscent of the Southwest thanks to chili powder and cumin. For a spicy version, add a few dashes of hot sauce. Both dishes use the grated peel, juice and grapefruit sections. Here's how to get the sections:
Slice off both ends of grapefruit and stand flat on a cutting board, one cut side up (the grapefruit will be standing on the second cut side). Using a sharp knife, cut from the top to the bottom to remove the skin and white portion (pith), exposing (and leaving intact) the flesh and grapefruit sections. Use a sharp knife to cut the grapefruit flesh from each individual section. When the recipe below calls for juice, squeeze what's left of the grapefruit's core (the part that held the sections).
One more thing, I used pink grapefruit in both recipes because I prefer their color and sweetness but you can use any variety you like.
Grapefruit-Glazed Chicken With Honey and Dijon
Serves 4
Cooking spray
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 5 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 pink grapefruit
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 cup minced white onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Preheat oven to 375ºF. Coat a shallow roasting pan with cooking spray.
Season both sides of chicken with salt and pepper and place in prepared pan. Set aside.
Zest 1 teaspoon of grapefruit peel. Section grapefruit as described above. Squeeze 1/4 cup of grapefruit juice from remaining grapefruit.
In a medium bowl, whisk together grapefruit juice and zest, honey, mustard and thyme. Fold in grapefruit sections, onion and garlic. Spoon mixture over chicken. Bake 30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Top chicken with parsley just before serving.
Southwest Shrimp Salad with Grapefruit and Black Beans
Serves 4
1 pound extra large raw shrimp, peeled and de-veined
2 pink grapefruit
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
15-ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
1/4 cup chopped green onions
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Steam shrimp in a colander over simmering water until bright pink and cooked through (about 3-5 minutes).
Meanwhile, zest 1 teaspoon of grapefruit peel. Section grapefruit as described above. Squeeze 3 tablespoons grapefruit juice from remaining grapefruit.
In a large bowl, whisk together grapefruit juice and zest, oil, chili powder and cumin. Fold in shrimp, grapefruit sections, black beans, green onions and cilantro. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm or chilled.

Haven't touched grapefruit in yrs. It the one food that should NOT be eaten if on a cholesterol lowering medication. It affects the potency of other meds as well.
This is true CJ – i hear it from my MIL all the time. So this chicken dish (that looks really good) will be a "during the week" dish I will try or on a Sunday when she isn't joining us for dinner (which is rare)
I love the grapefruit rule. As my doc once said, it's not like we go over the speed limit all the time. He simply said to take it easy on the grapefruit dishes, and once in a blue moon, say a month, wouldn't really damage my cholesterol readings.
Oh how I miss eating grapefruit! But beware because there are a lot of medications that shouldn't be taken with grapefruit in your diet. If you are on daily medication, call your pharmacist and ask if grapefruit is okay with your meds. And there is an enzyme or something that hangs out in your body for a few days. I asked my pharmacist if I spaced grapefruit 12 hours apart from my meds if that would be okay. He said no, just stay away from grapefruit with my current meds.
I never like grapefruit as a kid but now, as I prefer tarty flavors, it's definitely grown on me. I occasionally like the pink ones plain for breakfast (I drizzle a little honey or agave syrup over them). I also mix them with oranges and lettuce to make a citrus salad. I love the idea of mixing them with proteins, though. The shrimp salad sounds divine; I could even see "vegetarianizing" it by upping the black beans and dropping out the shrimp!
For those of you who can't eat grapefruit: this inspired me to make a very similar version of the chicken with lemon and it was fantastic! I also made a vegetarian version with some eggplant slices — yum yum! And if you're off sugar as I am, just substitute a couple of drops of stevia for the honey.
Here's what I came up with. Thanks for the inspiration, Robin! http://omnivorevegetarian.blogspot.com/2012/06/le…

What Reality TV Is Teaching the World About Miami (Hint: It's Not Good)
Categories: Film and TV, Opinion
Kourtney & Kim Take Miami: Fake as hell. |
But if you peruse your TV guide, you'll find that the masses don't really seem to give a shit about all that. They want their Miami morsels, and they're getting their fill as more and more reality TV shows about the 305 project their mind-boggling unrealities to viewers nationwide just about every night.
See also:
- Five Reality TV Shows That Could Save the World
- The Five Weirdest Reality Shows Coming This Season
Reality TV is one of the harbingers of doom for Western civilization. Recently, though, it seems the rash of Miami-based shows purporting to show "everyday reality" in the city has actually brainwashed the rest of the world into thinking Miami is nothing more than a collection of celebutantes, cops, and rednecks.
I recently spent a couple of months wandering through Western Europe. One night, in Paris, I took a cab with a fellow Miami expat. With our driver, a Lebanese man named Omar, we talked about and compared the ways of life in our respective metropoli -- Miami and Paris. The result was a diatribe from Omar about how terribly dangerous and drug-infested a city Miami is, an image he deemed perfectly accurate in spite of never having visited.
How did he come to this less than flattering sense of our town? An education taken from The First 48.
The millions of viewers who live off of the savage emptiness of shows such as Kourtney & Kim Take Miami and South Beach Tow have apparently come to believe these are real glimpses into the 305. Most people living, breathing, working, romancing, and dying in this city have never gone on a shopping spree at Bal Harbour Shops or gotten into a brawl, staged or not, in the streets with a tow-truck driver. Contrary to the visions brought to us by the Bad Girls Club Miami, not all women clap and communicate in monosyllabic words in order to make a point.

Grey and mustard yellow will be the hottest colors in 2014 home interiorsThursday, January 9th, 2014 Issue 02, Volume 18.
Grey, the color that connotes intellect, is one hue homeowners will be incorporating into their interiors this year, said Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint Quality Institute, a leading source of information on interior color and design. In her annual color forecast for 2014, Zimmer is supporting grey in a big way: "Its the hot new neutral, a sleek and sophisticated color option that adds refinement to almost any room." "Walls that are painted grey are great backdrops for almost any style of décor, and grey is such a dignified color that it can elevate the appearance of even the most modest furnishings," she said. Beyond wall color, grey will embellish interiors in other ways next year â in the form of grey wash on wood furniture, for example, and in fabric used for everything from seating to floor coverings. "We will even see greys flashier cousin, silver, used as an important accent color," said Zimmer. But grey wont be the only neutral to be popular in 2014. According to Zimmer, those seeking a change from more saturated color will be happy to learn that white and off-white are back in vogue. Manufacturers of interior paint will offer extensive palettes of ever-so-subtle tints comprised of 30, 40, and even 50 whites containing just a hint of color. White is staging a strong comeback for a number of reasons, says Zimmer: "As with grey, the ease of coordinating furnishings with a neutral hue like white is appealing to almost everyone," she said. "However, some will gravitate to white for more personal reasons having to do with a change of address: those who are downsizing will favor white or very light-colored walls to make their new, smaller interiors look more spacious; and for those who may soon put up a For Sale sign, white is the wise paint color to apply before listing a home." Design professionals and do-it-yourselfers in the mood for more colorful options will also have good choices next year. Blues and greens â in more tints and shades than ever before â will again be crowd-pleasers, as they have been for a while. "Another hot color in 2014 will be mustard yellow," said Zimmer. "Its influence is growing in both fashion and home furnishing fabrics. We also expect to see more use of the color on walls â if not for entire rooms, then at least on accent walls." If one is thinking about changing a color scheme in a home interior, Zimmers insights into the tints and shades expected to be next years "hot" choices can provide some valuable direction. But the color expert has one final piece of advice: "In the end, color choice is a very personal decision, so whether you are thinking about doing some painting, or changing your décor, or both, stick with colors that you love. When it comes to your home, your opinion is the one that matters most," said Zimmer.

Ick---yellow and grey? No thank you.
When I lived on the east coast, it was always said that the west coast was the trend setter. I don't necessarily believe that any more. Grey - all shades started being very popular about 10 years ago east coast time. Yellows are a scary color and nothing can look worse than poorly chosen or mismatched yellow hues.

Apples and Weight Loss
3 Ways Apples Can Help You Lose Weight
An apple a day may or may not keep the doctor away, but it sure can help you see results on the scale. Make these apple-inspired choices throughout your day and see how this fruit can help you lose weight.
Breakfast: Low-Calorie Swap
Oatmeal for breakfast is an excellent choice. You can sweeten your bowl of oats with maple syrup (one eighth of a cup is 100 calories) or pour on four times as much unsweetened applesauce instead: half a cup contains 52 calories. Make this switch for a whole week of breakfasts, and you'll not only save 336 calories, you'll gain 10.5 grams of filling fiber.
Morning or Afternoon Snack: Fill Up on Fiber to Prevent Mindless Snacking
Full of flavor, apples are also great sources of hunger-satiating fiber. Snack on one large apple (with the skin) for 116 calories, and you'll consume 5.4 grams of fiber. The high water content and amazing amount of fiber will keep you full until your next meal, curbing hunger, and preventing the temptation to reach for a high-calorie nibble.
Dessert: Skip the Calorie Bombs
Half a cup of chocolate ice cream contains 250 calories.
Two homemade chocolate chip cookies contain 178 calories.
Half a Green & Black's Organic Dark Chocolate Bar contains 300 calories.
Holy calories! After-dinner treats can really add up if you make a habit of indulging every night, so save your calories and enjoy a naturally sweet treat instead. Slice a small apple (77 calories), drizzle it with one tablespoon of honey (64 calories), and sprinkle on cinnamon for 141 calories. For a more decadent "dessert," remove the core from a raw apple, stuff it with a few chopped walnuts and raisins, a small dollop of honey, pop it in the oven, and enjoy a treat for even fewer calories.

VARIOUS ARTISTS Jukebox Mambo: Rumba & Afro-Latin Accented Rhythm & Blues 1949-1960 Jazzman CD Arriving as a sister collection to the previously released juke joint spectacular, Jukebox Jam sets itself the not inconsiderable task of charting the impact of Afro-Cuban and Latin influences on post-war R&B and, in the process, rescues from oblivion 22 historic tracks selected and annotated with Jazzman's customary attention to detail. From the moment the needle hits the groove we're led off on an exploration of all things frenzied, exotic and uninhibited as typified by the decidedly hot and bothered moods of Mabel Scott's 'Fool Burro', Larry Dale's 'Down in The Bottom', Marvin Phillips' 'Salty Dog' and Mad Man James' 'Snake Charmer'. And just so you know – in true Jazzman style, the album is also available in super deluxe musical book format, comprising six 10" records that include four bonus tracks. Grahame Bent
ROGER COOK Running With The Rat Pack: Albums, Singles, Unreleased 1972-1973 RPM 2-CD It's incredible to think that in 1972, while Rogers Cook and Greenaway were busily teaching the world to sing - yep, they wrote that New Seekers smash, along with hits for the likes of Cliff, Cilla, The Hollies and White Plains – Cook was also sharing vocal duties with Madeleine Bell in the chart-friendly Blue Mink, and forging ahead with a solo career. The latter failed to boost his bank balance, however, although it's difficult to understand why. Two years after his debut Study (1970) slipped by unnoticed, Cook had another shot at solo glory with Meanwhile Back In The World, the first of three albums featured on this retrospective. That also bombed, and whilst the title track has a dated, Jesus Christ Superstar-style theatrical rock vibe about it, a few songs are too good to remain in obscurity– most notably 'I'll Bet Jesus Is A Lonely Man', a Cook/Greenaway co-write that's an MOR pop classic in waiting. Meanwhile's follow up, 1973's Minstrels In Flight, also has its moments, and if we need to know why Cook's previously unreleased collaboration with Blue Mink buddy Herbie Flowers, Rose On Fire, has a frivolous Smiley Smile feel, the sleeve notes provide a clue: one of the album's proposed titled was Smile… Cook and Flowers In Joint Control. Chris Twomey
FELT Felt Anazitisi LP For many years the target of counterfeiters, the sole 1971 LP by Alabama guitar prog/psych-rockers Felt was an early candidate for the 'under the counter' reissue market. Saved at last by Nick Karanthanassis' Anazitisi label the album gets a high quality definitive reissue with detailed insert and a 7" of two new recordings. If you don't know the record it's an excellent psychy prog outing with twin lead guitars, melodic vocals and keyboards combined into a melancholic anglophile sound clearly influenced by the UK progressive rock invasion. The guitar solos retain something of a West Coast feel reminiscent at times of Wishbone Ash. Originally issued on the Nashville-based Nasco label (also home to the similar, yet less interesting Whalefeathers) within months of its original release the band had fallen apart due to a drug bust, leaving this as their only legacy. Richard Allen
VARIOUS ARTISTS Gilles Peterson: Black Jazz Radio Black Jazz/Snowdog CD During its five-year lifespan (1970-75), Oakland-based independent Black Jazz carved out a niche as a champion of the emerging spiritual jazz scene alongside other labels associated with the genre, including Impulse!, Flying Dutchman and Strata East. Founded by pianist Gene Russell, Black Jazz released 21 albums before ceasing operations with Russell's death in '76, and this Gilles Peterson-compiled anthology offers an introductory overview of the label's catalogue. With selections on show from all principal members of the Black Jazz roster including choice cuts from Henry Franklin, Cleveland Eaton, Kelle Patterson's take on Herbie Hancock's 'Maiden Voyage' and Doug Carn, whose stunning 'Higher Ground' arguably forms the centrepiece of the album, the collection positively resonates with echoes of late '60s and early '70s electric Miles Davis, Pharoah Sanders, Alice Coltrane and Lonnie Liston Smith. Grahame Bent
THE MORLOCKS Submerged Alive Area Pirata CD A surreptitiously recorded live set sneaked out as a semi-bootleg (without the consent of the band) by Epitaph Records in 1987 was sure as shit never going to be the most fitting follow-up to The Morlocks' debut, Emerge, which had come out two years early and which was one of thee great garage punk LPs of the '80s: mind-shredding, brutal, breakneck, dark and mysterious. In the interim, there'd been a change of guitarist and a slight shift of direction towards a slower, looser, denser more Stooges-inspired thrust. In places, Leighton sounds uncannily like Iggy in his prime and some of the searing lead runs bear the mark of Ron Asheton. There are respectable covers of 'Leavin' Here' and Cuby & The Blizzards' 'Body Not Your Soul' and primal originals such as 'She's My Fix', though all marred somewhat by the preposterously overdubbed crowd noise that gives the impression the band was playing Shea Stadium! Hugh Dellar
BOB ANDREWS & RKR-CB Invisible Love RKR-CB Productions CD/book Not content with recording and touring with the reformed Graham Parker & The Rumour, Bob Andrews has, with his partner RKR-CB, just issued a new CD and book. Invisible Love is a concept audio/visual project inspired by the Marginy suburb of New Orleans with the story played out by Andrews' dogs. It's not as silly or pretentious as it might appear. Andrews has created a seamless blend of pop, funk and rock 'n' roll that's as eclectic and spicy as the city that inspired him. 'Suck My Pipes' sounds like Prince mixed with The Dirty Dozen Brass Band. 'Pretty In My Dreams' is a near perfect pop confection. 'Dynamite Doll' could be Fats Domino on speed. Invisible Love brings a little bit of New Orleans direct to your hi fi. Turn up the volume, roll back the carpets and shake your booty. You'll wish you lived a little closer to New Orleans.

Secretary Ken Salazar Celebrated for Expanding the American Park Experience (2010)
"In my job, I always say the most inspiring thing I get to do is work with young people," remarked Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar at an event in his honor at DAR's O'Byrne Gallery where he was celebrated by federal officials, corporate stakeholders, environmentalists and school administrators.
The Secretary was there to accept NPT's second American Park Experience Award – a tribute reserved for those who have made outstanding contributions to enhance the awareness and appreciation of our nation's parks, wildlife refuges, and historic landmarks (the first co-recipients were Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan). The Secretary was tapped for the award because of his lengthy history of land preservation, in creating Sand Dunes National Park and conserving the South Platte River Basin, pursuing full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, along with spearheading the America's Great Outdoors Initiative and Listening Sessions, and creating the Office of Youth in the Great Outdoors. But through his remarks, Secretary Salazar focused on the urgency of making the parks a vital fixture in the lives of the next generation.
Standing alongside Secretary Salazar at the podium were children who participate in NPT's Buddy Bison school program from Washington Latin and Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter Schools and the Bullis School. These students spent a few minutes prior to the ceremony sharing with the Secretary the many ways the Buddy Bison program has expanded their knowledge of public lands and inspired a thirst for conservation. As part of the Secretary's award presentation, they then joined together in an inaugural performance of "Get Out to the Great Outdoors," the title tune from the new Buddy Bison musical! The children's words echoed the Secretary's call to connect youth with our public lands.
NPT's Board of Directors unanimously selected the Secretary to receive the Award for his work spearheading the America's Great Outdoors initiative, which will help reshape the nation's conservation policies and for his work to create Youth in Natural Resources Programs. NPT also applauds his initiatives at the Department of Interior to build a 21st Century Youth Conservation Corps to engage, educate and employ young people from all backgrounds to explore, connect with and preserve our country's unique natural and cultural heritage.
NPT also praised his lifetime commitment to protect the nation's public lands. This is exemplified by his past support for the creation of Great Sand Dunes National Park, by his work in the South Platte River Basin, and by his current work at the Department of the Interior to achieve full funding of the Land and Water Conservation Fund and to expand protection of our treasured landscapes.
"The Secretary's passion to engage youth with the outdoors and in conservation, especially those who are underserved, is an inspiration for our Youth to Parks programs and for the many students, teachers, and families who participate in the Trust's youth programs, including our Where's Buddy Bison Been?® Program," says William Brownell, NPT Chairman of the Board.
The American Park Experience Award was established in 2009 to recognize an individual or group that has made outstanding contributions to enhance the awareness and appreciation of our nation's parks, wildlife refuges, and historic landmarks. Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan were the first co-recipients of this award. The Secretary accepted the Award at a reception in Washington, D.C. in the winter of 2010.

A Response to Trayvon Martin: Building the World We Dream About
Post by Taquiena Boston, Director, UUA Office of Multicultural Growth & Witness
Someone recently asked me my thoughts and feelings about the Trayvon Martin case. It was not an easy question to respond to. "Mostly, I feel like I need a soft place to land," I answered first. Because, like many African Americans my age, a part of me just feels tired. When will it stop?
There is a song that comes to mind. Ella's Song, by Sweet Honey in the Rock. They sing:
We who believe in freedom cannot rest
We who believe in freedom cannot rest until it comes
Until the killing of black men, black mothers' sons
Is as important as the killing of white men, white mothers' sons
Like so many, I see loved ones in Travyon's familiar face. Trayvon looks a lot like Marcus, the son of one of my cousins. I think about how in the wrong circumstances this could have been Marcus at 17 — another smart, pleasant, happy-go-lucky kid who dressed like his peer group. I'm imagining what it must be like for Trayvon's parents. It's hard enough to lose a child in such a senseless act of violence. But then, to know that the person who took your child's life isn't held accountable for his actions? It must feel to Tracy Martin and Sybrina Fulton like they have been told "your child's life is nothing."
I also think about my nephews. One just had a son. Is this the future we want for our children? When will the time stop when little boys who approach age 12 won't have to have "that" talk: be careful how you behave, how you carry yourself, where you are seen. Why can't you just move around in the world being who you are and not have to worry about someone hurting you because of the color of your skin, your age and your gender?
On top of all these thoughts, what I am struggling with most right now is how much young black men are criminalized in our society. The very things young men may be doing to protect themselves from aggression are the same things that make them targets. For instance, I know that as a teen you want to fit in. That's just part of being that age. And one of the ways you fit in is by dressing like your peer group, because if you stand out, you can be taunted and ostracized. At the same time, wearing the kinds of clothes teens wear, influenced by the media and celebrities, actually makes these young men appear to some like thugs. Projected on them is this image that they are dangerous, when often all they are doing is being teenagers, dressing in ways that identify them with their own generation.
These have been times that I felt a need to be present in community, and particularly African American community. I need to find comfort and solidarity, and also just know what people are thinking and feeling. I have also sought comfort in my faith community. As a member of All Souls Unitarian Church in Washington, D.C., it is a helpful to see that my congregation is rallying around this. They are raising this up as a tragedy, as a time to express solidarity, and a time to move beyond the symbolic.
Symbolism is important. Wearing the hoodie says, "Let's stop judging these young men and stop projecting this image of danger on them." But we must go deeper, and take a hard look at the emergence of so-called "stand your ground" laws in numerous states. I equate them with apartheid, with Jim Crow laws, and with vagrancy laws put in place during Reconstruction. With "stand your ground" laws in place, how far have we come really?
We must reflect on how stories evolve in the media. There is such a tendency to create heroes and villains, victims and victimizers. We started with a sweet, innocent photograph of a 17-year-old. Then we saw other images, out of context, that tried to offer a rationale for George Zimmerman's actions. As a person of faith, I am praying for reactions that focus more on what Trayvon Martin's death symbolizes than on villainizing George Zimmerman.
At times like this, I am thankful to be a Unitarian Universalist. The work I have done in UU community around racial justice has provided crucial context for understanding how we can still be in this place – and how the case of Trayvon Martin represents an element of racism very much alive in our society. This is a 21st century version of racism that has its roots in a long history of deciding who belongs and who doesn't, whose life is valued and whose life does not—all based on identity.
When we are faced with a situation like this, those of us who identify as Unitarian Universalist may remember the importance we place on continuing to build the world we dream about. We can put into practice and action all of the anti-racism and anti-oppression work we have been doing. We can appreciate we have the Standing on the Side of Love campaign as a platform to publicly express solidarity; to amplify the voices of Trayvon Martin's family and community, and other communities whose children are victimized and targeted in this way.
Let us continue to use this moment as an opportunity to talk in our congregations about what our role is as UU's in shedding light on this kind of racism in our society. Let's examine how youth of color in our congregations can fully know that their congregations aren't only sympathetic to what they face in their lives daily, but also truly safe spaces of support and caring for them.
All of this is the work of our office—Multicultural Growth and Witness—as well as other offices at the UUA. To help congregations create the capacity to minister effectively, and to provide a container and tools for congregations and communities to reflect and act.
If you are interested in deepening your congregation's multicultural journey, increasing your cultural competency, and engaging more deeply in anti-oppression and anti-racism work, the UUA has resources to help you do just that. Click here to learn more.

One Response to "A Response to Trayvon Martin: Building the World We Dream About"
For the first time in my life as a Unitarian-Universalist (1965-present), I am ashamed of my faith for not making a strong public statement regarding Trayvon Martin's murder. There are at least three UU principles trampled in this case. I am distraught. This is a failure of leadership on the part of UUA. There should have been 1) a call for vigils at all UU Fellowships and Churches, 2) a position on Stand Your Ground Laws, 3) a dialogue on confrontational ethics, 4) a review of Neighborhood Watch programs, and 5) a questioning of cases being tried in the middle of the night in Police Stations.

Where is your scientific study that refutes my statements of fact.
It isn't fact just because you said it.
Carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere by a variety of natural sources, and over 95% of total CO2 emissions would occur even if humans were not present on Earth
Which is more credible then you are, so now the ball is in your court.
Do you really think trees can tell the different between co2 that was created by a cow farting & the co2 created from the billions of car on our hi ways.
Do you really think that matters?

Denver Nuggets wins team record 13 consecutive game, runs past Oklahoma City Thunder 114-104
Andre Miller scored 20 on his birthday
Ty Lawson scored 25 points, Andre Miller had 20 points and nine assists and the Denver Nuggets beat the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-104 Tuesday night to win a 13th straight game for the first time since joining the NBA.
The Nuggets trailed by one at halftime but took control in the third quarter and never let Oklahoma City reclaim the lead. Denver moved within 3 1/2 games of the Thunder in the Northwest Division and became the first team this season to beat Oklahoma City three times.
It's also a big win in the chase for home-court advantage in the playoffs for Denver, which is tied with Miami for the NBA's best home record at 30-3.
Kevin Durant had 34 points and Russell Westbrook chipped in 25 for Oklahoma City, which lost at home for just the fifth time this season.
The Nuggets go for their 14th straight on Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Minister Flaherty served our country with great integrity, strength and dedication. I was honoured to work with him as part of the Government since 2006. Following the announcement of his passing, it was obvious the impact that Minister Flaherty had in this country with the responses from all Members of the House of Commons.
I share with you his words spoken less than a month ago: "We live in the greatest country in the world, and I want Canadians to know that it has been my honour and my privilege to serve them."
Minister Flaherty was a one-of-a-kind man with his Irish humour and outstanding leadership.
My heartfelt condolences go out to his family, his wife, Christine Elliott and their 3 sons. He will be missed.

McLaren confirmed their re-emergence in Valencia on Saturday afternoon as Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen set the fastest times to wrap up the front row of the grid for the European Grand Prix. Kovalainen was on course to take pole but made a small error on the last corner and failed to beat Hamiltons 1m 39.498s best. The Finn's earlier 1m 39.532s was enough for second, however.
Rubens Barrichello confirmed Brawn GPs return to form with the third fastest time of 1m 39.563s, with team mate Jenson Button fifth on 1m 39.821s. It was Red Bulls Sebastian Vettel who found himself the meat in the Brawn sandwich. After his engine failure this morning, the German was able to lap his Red Bull in 1m 39.789s for the other second-row slot.
Kimi Raikkonen made a late improvement to sixth for Ferrari on 1m 40.144s, and will be a dangerman at the start with his KERS.
Behind the Finn, Nico Rosberg took seventh for Williams with 1m 40.185s, ahead of Renaults Fernando Alonso on 1m 40.236s, Red Bulls Mark Webber on 1m 40.239s and BMW Saubers Robert Kubica on 1m 40.512s.
Q2 weeded out Nick Heidfeld in the second BMW Sauber, who lapped in 1m 38.826s (Barrichello was quickest in 1m 38.076s so the times were very close), and Adrian Sutil was on his tail in the Force India with 1m 38.846s. Timo Glock was 13th for Toyota with 1m 38.991s. Romain Grosjean looked promising on his Formula One debut and was 14th in the second Renault on 1m 39.040s, comfortably ahead of Sebastien Buemi who wheeled the lead Toro Rosso round in 1m 39.514s for 15th.
Q1 accounted for Force Indias Giancarlo Fisichella, Williams Kazuki Nakajima, Toyotas Jarno Trulli, Toro Rossos Jaime Alguersuari and Ferraris Luca Badoer, as Button set the pace with 1m 39.531s.
Fisichella lapped in 1m 39.531s, while Nakajima had worked down to 1m 39.795s before going off the road. Trullis best was 1m 39.807s, and Alguersuari lapped in 1m 39.925s (a second off Buemis time in the session). At the back, Badoers return was not impressive. The oldest man in the field lapped the second Ferrari in 1m 41.413s.

A document that appears to be a detailed Air France briefing to its pilot workforce from four days ago (ie just after the BEA press conference last week) has turned up. Seems pretty clear that it's genuine.
You can see the original in French here, or the same thing here where it was originally posted. And read on for a translation into English. Pprune contributor Squawk Ident has come up with this mostly automated translation below with some tweaks. Unfortunately I've got to dash right now and can't check it though until later, but looks OK. It's very educational on the pitot tube history.
Roissy, On June 18, 2009
On June 15, a point on the inquiry was made by the Management of thesafety of the company in front of executives PN of the Air Operations.This "N°5″ information" recapitulates all the points approached at thetime of this presentation.
The accident of AF447 took place in the international water; this isthus the State where the aircraft is registered that leads thetechnical inquiry. Four working groups were made to this end by theBureau d'Enquêtes et d'Analyses. Air France contributes to thisinvestigation in bringing its expertise to work with these groups ofwhich each members is engaged to respect the confidentiality ofinformation.
Only the BEA is authorized to communicate on the progress of theinquiry. It will publish a preliminary report before the the 30th ofJune.
In parallel to the technical inquiry and in accordance with the FrenchRight, a judicial enquiry is carried out by the GTA (Gendarmerie duTransport Aérien) under control of an instruction judge of the Court ofParis.
The rules specific to the company envisages in addition theinstallation of an internal inquiry. For this reason the Head officedesignated 5 permanent members including two flight crew staffrepresentatives.
Finally 2 other investigations will be led at the initiative of the CHSCT PNT and PNC.
At the time of the accident the plane was leaving a zone of convectionrelated to intertropical convergence. The satellite photos diffused todate show clouds spreading out at high-altitude, but thesephotographies do not indicate directly the position of the stormy cellsthat the crews of different companies flying on this road met. Acomplementary work of analyses is in progress.
The main informations that we have about the plane result from automatic maintenance messages.
These messages are embodied in the information transmitted by the planewithout intervention of the crew to alow maintenance teams to preparethe interventions upon the arrival of the plane. These messages are noteasily exploitable for an investigation and cannot replace data fromCVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder) and DFDR (Digital Flight Dated Recorder).
More particularly, the format of the messages and logics oftransmission do not allow to reconstitute with certainty the chronologyof appearance of the anomalies in the cockpit.
The majority of these messages are the consequence of the anomalies andthe inconsistencies of aerodynamic speeds; they were detected by theflight control calculators and the automatic pilot. Among these one canbe quoted:
The loss of characteristic speeds
The passage in secondary law of flight (Alternate Law)
These associated anomalies and their consequences are tested during thecertification of the plane; this allows to guarantee that the planeremains controllable in this situation.
All of these messages and their significance will be very certaily published in the preliminary report of the BEA.
At this stage, nothing in these messages allows to establish:
- A loss of power supply,
- A loss of the screens of piloting (PFD and Stand-by horizon),
- A faulty operation of the ADIRU which could have involved an incident of the type of which Qantas company knew recently.
Only one certainty: the sequence of the messages does not allow to explain the accident by itself.
Many erroneous assertions were advanced in connection with theanemometric probes equipping the Airbus fleet. We present to you inchronological order a summary of the reports and especially of theactions carried out by the company since 2001.
August 2001:
Following fluctuations and/or losses of the indications of theaerodynamic speed on A330 and A340 reported by certain companies, theDGAC publishes an "Airworthiness Directive" (AD) by plane type, toimpose the replacement of the probes of Pitot ROSEMOUNT P/N 0851GR,either by probes GOODRICH P/N 0851HL, or by SEXTANT (THALÈS) P/NC16195-AA; this operation having to be finished before the 31 December2003.
Indeed, the official services allot these events to the presence ofcrystals of ice and/or of quantities of water which exceeds thespecifications of the probes Pitot ROSEMOUNT P/N 0851GR. In accordancewith the "Airworthiness Directive", the model SEXTANT (THALÈS) P/NC16195-AA is installed on the Air France A340 fleet ; as from December2001, Air France receives its first A330 which is origin-equipped ofthe probes SEXTANT (THALÈS) P/N C16195-AA. No event of this type willbe reported on Air France A330 and A340 until May 2008.
September 2007:
Airbus emits technical notes (Service bulletins or SB) which recommend,without being mandatory and outside all context affecting thenavigability of the planes, the replacement of the probes THALÈS P/NC16195-AA installed on fleets A320/A330/A340 by new model probes THALÈSP/N C16195-BA.
It is indicated that this model improves the behaviour of the probe bylimiting the consequences of water ingestion by strong rains and byreducing the risk of icing. After analysis, the Air France technicalteams decide to launch this modification on the A320 fleet which hasincidents with losses of speed indications at low altitude in case ofstrong rains. They decide to replace probes on A330/A340 by the newmodels only in the event of failure, the A330/A340 fleet having then noincidents with loss of speed informations.
May – August 2008:
A first incident of icing of the probes occurs on a Air France A340with temporary loss of speed indications; followed by a second incidentin July 2008 and then of 3 incidents in August 2008, all on A340.Airbus is immediately questioned on the origin of these incidents andto the measures allowing to cure it.
September and October 2008:
Many exchanges with the Airbus technical teams take place. Anexploitation incident is recorded in September and one in October 2008.In six months, 7 incidents were thus recorded, when no incident of thiskind had been reported before.
Airbus answers that:
o The supposed origin of these incidents is a icing by crystal formation in the probes of velocity measurement,
o The new model THALÈS P/N C16195-BA was not conceived to answer theproblem of icing and thus should not bring significant improvement withthis problem,
o The probes installed are in conformity and even exceed the lawfulrequirements in term of airworthiness and of safety of the flights.
November 2008:
Following various follow-up from Air France technical services, Airbuscorrects its September 2007 technical notes in a dated November 12,2008 edition that withdraws any mention of a contribution of the probeTHALÈS P/N C16195-BA improved resistance to icing.
On 24 November2008 a meeting between the technical directions of AirFrance and Airbus discusses lengthly of the incidents with loss ofspeed informations. Air France requires that a technical solution bequickly brought to solve these incidents. Airbus confirms again thatthe origin of these incidents is an icing of the probes, that the lastmodel THALÈS P/N C16195-BA does not treat of the subject and that theprobes installed are in conformity with the airworthiness requirementsand safety of the flights.
February 2009:
Facing our insistence to find a solution, wind-tunnel tests areundertaken by Thalès and Airbus on the behavior of the probe THALÈS P/NC16195-BA.
March 2009:
At the end of March 2009, two new incidents of exploitation arerecorded of which a first on A330. That brings the total number ofincident to 9, including 8 on A340 and one on A330.
Airbus, again requested on several occasions, answers by confirming thepresumption of icing of probes and refers to a procedure of maintenanceand checking of the probes.
April 2009:
In a letter of April 15, 2009, Airbus informs of a new element: theprobe THALÈS P/N C16195-BA does not have vocation to answer the problemof icing of the probes, but the tests carried out by Thalès show abehavior definitely better than that of the former model. Taking intoaccount the limitations of the wind tunnel tests, Airbus suggests anexperimentation on Air France planes to check if an improvement isconfirmed in real situation. Without awaiting this experimentation, AirFrance decides to immediately extend this measure to its entirelong-distance Airbus A330/A340 fleet and to replace the totality of theprobes speed. One internal technical document launching themodification is established dated April 27, 2009. The beginning of theplanes modification is planned as of reception of the parts, at a rateof several planes per week, from June 1.
May 2009:
Air France requires THALÈS to accelerate the delivery schedule of theprobes. Those are delivered starting May 26, 2009 at a rate of 12 tubesof Pitot per week. The program thus could be accelerated.
Since the accident:
Without prejudging of a link between the anemometric probes and theinconsistencies in the indications of speeds presented to the pilots,Air France has decided to accelerate its plan of replacement of theprobes THALÈS P/N C16195-AA on the fleet Airbus. Since last June 12,all A320,A330,A340 Airbus, in exploitation within Air France areequipped with the probes of last generation THALÈS P/N C16195-BA.
Nevertheless in an information bulletin published on June 8, Airbusconfirms that the Airbus world fleet can be exploited with one of the 3types of anemometric probes which equips world fleet, namely THALÈS P/NC16195-AA, THALÈS P/N C16195-BA and GOODRICH P/N 0851HL.
We intend to recall that any step of prevention imposes three requirements;
– a requirement for transparency,
– a requirement for reactivity,
– and a requirement of pro-activity.
Whatever the circumstances, it is advisable to proceed in this way.
This is why, we have decided to keep you regularly informed of thestate of advance of the inquiry and this, in an agreement with the BEAthat remains the only one in charge of the communication of the factualelements.
In addition, we named two staff representatives within the Internal Commission
– Mrs L G for Commercial flight crew
– Mr O R for the Technical Flight crew.
This commission reserves the right to raise recommendations constantly if it feels it need.

AF 447: Air France briefs pilots on pitots and investigation status
About Kieran Daly
5 Responses to AF 447: Air France briefs pilots on pitots and investigation status
It was nice to have a up to date report of the investigation! Without any theories or assumptions! Thank you Kieren Daly for this post! Very informative!
One of the interesting facts is that Air France Had tried very hard to keep their aircraft as safe as possible. with the continued assurance by Airbus until earlier this year of the safety of the old type pitot probes! So far very little has been mentioned about Airbus' slow response to the 330/340 pitot icing problems! Another issue/question that is kept silent is that the thales pitot old and new could be inferior to the bf goodrich pitot (of which there are no known difficulties). The pitot probes would not be the only thing that could have brung down flight 447 but nevertheless an important part of the investigation!
thanks again for this informative post
Am curious about the value of finding the black boxes at this point.
I for one support the ongoing effort to locate the CVR/CDR.
That said…
Considering the financial liabilities implicit with the revelation of a major aircraft design defect, I am inclined to think that (from a cost perspective at least) there are those individuals who would just as soon hope the recorders remain in the deep. -
Is it not possible to transmit some data from the flight data recorder (FDR) and cockpit voice recorder (CVR) the same way as ´error/trouble´ data is sent to base by ACARS (aircraft communication addressing and reporting system), say, when a pilot pushes a MAYDAY/PAN PAN button?
In this crash the pilots did not make a m´aidez (= help me) or panne (= breakdown) call, possibly because they were unaware of problems until the aircraft was (almost) out of control.
My guess is — for what it´s worth, as a private pilot/airline passenger — the aircraft entered a CB (cumulonimbus = thundercloud), had an upset and quickly became uncontrollable; maybe unavoidably maybe not. Would an automatically-triggered system have had time to transmit enough data to be useful?
An earlier report in the news media suggested the finding of the Captains body indicated he may not have been on the flight deck at the time of the accident.
Is it possible that the remaining pilots who presumably had less experience may have misjudged the nature of the convective cloud/radar returns and allowed the aircraft to penetrate severe weather.
This situation is one of the many concerns I personnaly have expresssed with regard to the push for the MPL. Demonstrated skills in a flight simulator and academic knowledge are no substitute for experience.

Beyond the Walls
We're staying in the rectory of St. Simeon's Episcopal Church in Croix de Bouquets. St Simeon's sits within a high wall with its school at the back and the rectory across the parking lot. I am working on drawing a map of everything inside the wall for you, but it isn't finished yet. The wall between the parking lot and the rectory is topped with broken bottles and two guards stand watch over the gates at night.

We leave for Haiti in less than 48 hours and I feel lots of emotions. I have never been for three weeks and I think I have a little anxiety about that. I know it will all be fine and I will love every second of my time there. I had the opportunity to Skype with Pere Val and Carmel yesterday. It was wonderful to see their faces and also the excitement in their eyes. They kept repeating to me, don't worry. Just come down here, we can't wait to see you.

Re: [DISCUSS] - Committing client code to 3rd Party FileSystems within Hadoop Common
Thanks for responding Harsh.
I agree. Hadoop Common does do a good job of maintaining a stable and public FS and FS Context API. The pro for maintaining client libraries outside of Hadoop Common is that the release owner of the library has much more autonomy and agility in maintaining the library. From the glusterfs plugin perspective, I concur with this. In contrast, if my library was managed inside of Hadoop Common, I'd have to spend the time to earn committer status to have an equivalent amount of autonomy and agility, which is overkill for someone just wanting to maintain 400 lines of code. I ruminated a bit about one con which might be that because it doesn't get shipped with Hadoop Common it might make it harder for the Hadoop User community to find out about it and obtain it. However, if you consider the LZO codec, the fact that its not bundled certainly doesn't hamper its adoption. You mentioned testing. I don't think regression across Hadoop releases is as big of an issue as (based on my understanding) you really just have two FileSystem interfaces (abstract class) to worry about WRT to compliance, namely the FileSystem interface reflected for Hadoop 1.0 and the FileSystem interface reflected for Hadoop 2.0. However, this is a broader topic that I also want to discuss so I'll tee it up in a separate thread. Regards Steve Watt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Harsh J" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2013 1:37:30 PM Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] - Committing client code to 3rd Party FileSystems within Hadoop Common I think we do a fairly good work maintaining a stable and public FileSystem and FileContext API for third-party plugins to exist outside of Apache Hadoop but still be able to work well across versions. The question of test pops up though, specifically that of testing against trunk to catch regressions across various implementations, but it'd be much work for us to also maintain glusterfs dependencies and mechanisms as part of trunk. We do provide trunk build snapshot artifacts publicly for downstream projects to test against, which I think may help cover the continuous testing concerns, if there are those. Right now, I don't think the S3 FS we maintain really works all that well. I also recall, per recent conversations on the lists, that AMZN has started shipping their own library for a better implementation rather than perfecting the implementation we have here (correct me if am wrong but I think the changes were not all contributed back). I see some work going on for OpenStack's Swift, for which I think Steve also raised a similar discussion here: http://search-hadoop.com/m/W1S5h2SrxlG, but I don't recall if the conversation proceeded at the time. What's your perspective as the releaser though? Would you not find maintaining this outside easier, especially in terms of maintaining your code for quicker releases, for both bug fixes and features - also given that you can CI it against Apache Hadoop trunk at the same time?

These include the RAV4, the Highlander and, of course, the Land Cruiser, which are all just as at home in an urban environment as they are in rough country.
