El Dorado's Single Barrel Collection presents single-distillate aged rums from three of the oldest working stills in the world, crafted at the height of the sugar and rum trade changing the world centuries ago. All of their rums begin with alluvial-grown sugarcane, and the first-boil molasses (50% sugar content) is mixed with water and their house yeasts resulting in a fermented wash between 7% and 8% abv. Rather than blend a number of expressions together, these SBC bottles are examples of what each heritage still is capable of producing. Each expression is aged for a minimum of 12 years in once-used American bourbon barrels, refashioned in their own cooperage, under lush tropical conditions below sea level and off the Demerara's coast. The ICBU comes from the Dutch Uitvlugt (literally/figuratively "to fly away") Estate, a French Savalle four column metal continuous still. The rum shows sweet sugarcane on the nose with a rich medium-bodied palate.
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own. We have a huge team of excellent wine professionals that can match wines you've had in the past with new arrivals that meet your flavor profile.

Go ahead and get it, you won't be sorry. If you don't like it, it has lots of other uses! http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinHumor.htm
Surf around that site too, it's packed with info, just the historical aspect alone is enough of a cool factor for me. IMHO the absolute best VALUE in a rifle out there...
I have always loved the look and design of the Mosin. It is a great peice of Russian history. I also agree that it's one of those rifles where you can't just have 1. I'm looking forward to buying at least 2 more. Another carbine and a regular long Mosin. If there's guns that has been around for a long long time and has been used in many wars and is still being shot today by it's fans then why not give it a shot. One thing I love about this rifle is that the 7.62x54mm round is MEAN. I also think it's cool that the round is still being used today. I was wondering what is up with the Chinese made Mosin's? I saw them the other day on j&gsales.com.
My problem is all of the options! Which one to get? My answer seems to be "many because one is not enough". And I should get a Nagant to go with a Mosin as a matching pair! :-)
Since suppressors are now legal n my state, C&R buying was put on hold. With prices sure to climb, it might be time to switch back to C&R. Now I find a dealer that has some pristine, although relatively expensive WW2 K98's!
Maybe I need to find a second job!
"It is better to be too skeptical then too credulous"

The great thing about the M44s and the T53s is most of them haven't had
a re-arsenal, and were lightly used. You can find beat up ones,
but with very little difficulty I found two pristine M44s, with all
matching serial#s.
IMHO, these are the best of the lot, carbine-sized, all your
accessories come with the gun, the bayonet is built on.
If you're a true freak, like me, you can even drill the
buttstock,(ah, remove the steel cover plate first,skippy)
to store the cleaning jag, guide and handle.
Robust, self sufficient, and accurate, with good
And whotta muzzle blast! There is mondo fun factor
I also use mine when I'm scouting with binoculars, before a big hunt.
People do turn their noses up at them at the range. It doesn't matter what kind of cool guns I was blasting away with beforehand, the second I take out a Mosin somebody is going to make some stupid comment. I don't get it, I think they are historical, tremendous fun and cheap to shoot.
Freedom is not free. The best of us always leave too soon.
I've bump fired a mosin. I'm just awesome like that.
winchester sells a whitebox noncorrosive reloadable 7.62x54r cartridge. couple other large ammo makers put out softpoint hunting ammo in reloadable noncorrosive too. using quality ammo a mosin in a decent shooter's hands will go 1.5 to 2 moa with open sights.

Join the celebration of America's first President on the 225th anniversary of his inauguration
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Date: April 14, 2014
NEW YORK – On April 30, 1789, at 26 Wall Street in New York City, George Washington became the first president of the newly created United States of America. Now, 225 years later, the National Park Service (NPS) is celebrating that momentous occasion with a full-day of special programming at Federal Hall National Memorial.
A wide range of activities appropriate for different ages and interests are designed to bring history to life and offer a glimpse of the society and pageantry that surrounded the first inauguration and laid the ground work for the ceremony that takes place today.
Popular programs returning this year include the "meet and greet with George Washington," a Ranger-led talk on Washington and the re-enactment of the inauguration performed by representatives of St. Johns Lodge #1 of the Masons. New this year is the Ranger Reading and Junior Ranger program in the Grotto, which is geared for youth ages 8 to 12, although all are welcome.
"The highlight of this year's program will be a special panel discussion on 'George Washington and Religious Freedom in the New Nation,' " said Shirley McKinney, superintendent of Federal Hall National Memorial. "Not only is Federal Hall the site of the first presidential inauguration, it is the site where the Bill of Rights was drafted, which enshrined the right to freedom of religion. This panel is an exciting opportunity to see how the politically powerful and popular George Washington and the society he lived in shaped America's views on this important topic."
From 1 to 3 p.m., the panel, which consists of representatives from denominations that were present in New York City in 1789, will discuss the political and religious climate and attitudes at the time Washington became President. Also present will be a descendent of Rabbi Mendes Seixas, who will read letters between Washington and Seixas affirming religious freedom for all. Seixas was in attendance at Washington's inauguration.
And, at any time during the day's programming, visitors can follow in Washington's footsteps with the self-guided walking tour through lower Manhattan of "Washington's New York." Copies may be picked up at the Visitor Center desk.
What: Commemoration of the 225th anniversary of the Inauguration of George Washington
Where: Federal Hall National Memorial, 26 Wall Street
When: April 30, 2014
1 p.m. – Children of all ages are invited to become Junior Rangers and to attend a special reading in the Grotto
Did You Know?
Off to a running start! Every year, the New York City marathon begins at Fort Wadsworth, part of Gateway National Recreation Area. Fort Wadsworth is one of 23 unique destinations included in the National Parks of New York Harbor. More...

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Eric Hosmer delivered the game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning to cap an improbable 3-2 comeback victory by the Kansas City Royals over the Detroit Tigers in the rubber match of a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium.
Facing Detroit reliever Phil Coke (0-4), Miguel Tejada led off the bottom of the 10th with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt from Alcides Escobar. After Alex Gordon moved Tejada to third with a groundout to first, Hosmer took the left-hander's pitch up the middle for the difference-maker.
Kansas City, which had a season-high six-game winning streak come to end with a 3-2 loss to Detroit on Tuesday, looked to be in line for a second straight defeat after Tigers starter Justin Verlander tossed seven stellar frames of scoreless ball.
Verlander appeared to have locked up his fifth straight win after allowing just three hits and two walks while striking out eight, but the Tigers couldn't hold a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth.
Lorenzo Cain erased the deficit with two outs and a runner on second in the inning, belting a two-run homer off Jose Valverde to send the game to extras.
"It hurts," said Verlander on not getting the win. "You have two outs with two strikes [and] the ball leaves the yard, so it's not a good feeling. They tied the game, so you've immediately got to change your mindset to win it."
Greg Holland (2-1) retired the side in order in the top of the 10th to secure the victory. Kansas City starter James Shields, who failed to earn a win in his eighth consecutive start, allowed both Detroit runs on seven hits over seven frames.
Brayan Pena and Prince Fielder drove in the only Detroit runs.
Detroit dominated the entirety of the contest and headed into the bottom of the ninth holding a 2-0 lead with Valverde on the mound.
Hosmer led off with a single, but Valverde retired the next two batters to face Cain with the Royals down to their final out. Hosmer, however, advanced to second on Billy Butler's strikeout which gave the Tigers the second out of the inning.
Valverde got ahead 0-2 on Cain, who had struck out three straight times against Verlander, but served up a high breaking ball over the middle of the plate that was crushed over the left-field wall to bring the Royals back from the dead and knot the game at 2-2.
"To have the [strikeout] hat trick and being able to hit a ball out of here was huge," said Cain. "I was glad I got a good pitch and got it over the fence to tie the game up."
Detroit found success versus Shields in the first, as Avisail Garcia led off with a double and Torii Hunter moved him to third with a sacrifice bunt. After Miguel Cabrera drew a walk, Fielder smacked a run-scoring single to left to make it 1-0.
Verlander, meanwhile, cruised through the Royals' lineup, allowing all three of his hits and both walks through his first six frames.
Matt Tuiasosopo opened up the fifth with a double and Pena came through with a two-bagger of his own to put the Tigers on top 2-0. Ultimately, though, the Tigers' bullpen couldn't come through in the clutch.
Shields' last win came on April 30 ... Verlander owns a 9-2 career record at
Kauffman Stadium over 15 starts. He is 15-2 in 25 career starts versus the
Royals overall ... Kansas City finished its nine-game homestand with a 7-2
Oklahoma running back Keith Ford has been suspended indefinitely for violating academic and team rules, Sooners coach Bob Stoops confirmed Monday.
Qualifying for NASCAR national touring series races at Daytona International Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway will no longer feature a pack of cars running together.
If Teddy Bridgewater taught us anything, it's trust the tape, at least over a pro day.
The Seattle Mariners granted pitcher Kevin Correia his unconditional release Monday, one day after assigning the veteran to minor league camp.
Minnesota Timberwolves coach Flip Saunders announced that center Nikola Pekovic would miss the remainder of the season after sustaining an ankle injury in March.
The Minnesota Wild agreed to terms on entry-level contracts with goaltender Brody Hoffman and defenseman Zach Palmquist on Monday.

In the modern era of smartphones with voice commands....
Suddenly an old-style phone with no dial looks plausible again, no?

Seems there's a buncha business software from Back In The Day, that runs on those quaint old minicomputers: PDP-11, VAX, HP-3000, and so on.
(HP-3000? Which generation? I seem to recall there was a total architecture change in the 80s. The one I hacked on in high school was a stack machine, and I think the newer ones are RISC or something...?)
Anyway: someone's gone and written emulators and is offering use of them as a cloud service.
Many years ago, I had the notion of implementing a PDP-11 CPU as a VHDL learning project. I subsequently switched to learning Verilog instead, did a few FPGA projects... and still haven't done that PDP-11, let alone the DEC-10 that's also on the "somebody oughtta do this" list.
Seriously, though: a fairly cheap FPGA these days should be capable of handling any of the old 16-bit architectures, much faster than the original hardware. Add an SDRAM chip and a microSD socket, and you've got a complete PDP-11, Nova, Eclipse, HP-3000, TI-990, etc., all in a business-card-sized form factor. If you want to run a timesharing service on it, you'll need a much bigger board to handle all the connectors. And, of course, a 9-track controller/formatter can be shoehorned into the same FPGA, but the connector for the drive (never mind the drive itself) will dwarf your actual computer.
And then there's the problem of getting ahold of the antique operating system of a long-defunct company... and permission to use and/or distribute it.
Still, it's a cool possibility. Maybe, In My Copious Free Time, I should design the hardware and create a couple of example legacy CPUs, plus the supporting cores for a typical application or two (e.g., making an SD card look like an array of DG disk drives). Probably needs a (yuck) ball-grid package and many-layer board, just because FPGAs with lots of logic don't tend to be offered in QFPs. So, keep the expensive board as compact as possible, and have fine-pitch stacking headers for a cheap, 2-layer I/O board?
And that way you could own your legacy solution, and have a bunch of spares in a shoebox in the office supply closet!
(Now I'm thinking back to the MicroVAX a former employer rented from one of the other employees, and the way it'd load its microcode from a little tape cartridge. Cute! But now the tape cartridge would be a little flash chip, and the process would take hundreds of milliseconds instead of a few minutes.)
Update: Foo. Don't have a handy source for 18- or 36-bit-wide DDR SDRAM. There's a 16Mx18 RLDRAM part, which I guess would do the job, but the supply appears to be drying up. Oh, well. If I really thought there was a market for the dingus, I guess I could call around to memory vendors.
Update 2: The heirs of Sir Henry Ninebit-Byte will be relieved to learn that Cypress Semiconductor is still making synchronous SRAM chips in 9, 18, and 36 bit widths, with capacities up to several Mobies on a single chip. A 4-Moby part runs about $50 in onesies; not bad. And... these things are fast enough that an 18-bit, or even 9-bit, memory bus would probably outrun the CPU (and would most assuredly outrun one of the originals).
Man... I remember the days of 1024-bit RAM chips. With microsecond cycle times.

Earlier this week, XBradTC linked to an interesting vid on DIY radar.
Which stirred up the ol' creative juices. I hate presentations in video format; much prefer text + drawings so's I can skip back & forth easily, and the vid is in tl;dw territory at the moment, but I downloaded a copy and skimmed through, and it reminded me of some things I'm sure I knew back in the '90s, but had somehow forgotten.
Like, the easy way to get range is with linear chirps and interference-frequency measurement, rather than trying to do direct time measurement between two detector outputs (with the attendant requirement for very short pulses, if you're trying to measure smallish distances).
Modest-range radar had crept into my mind a couple of years ago, in connection with the problem of trying to put a plane on a runway blind. (Gee, what happened a couple of years ago that would bring up such thoughts?) Augmented GPS will get X and Y close enough for a plane that's much smaller than what the runway was designed for, but accurate Z is a major headache. Integrating GPS and a short-range radar altimeter to get the last couple hundred feet with sub-foot resolution? Well, it might just work.
Not that there's much prospect of actually making a product of that (despite my having a totally cool, as well as blindingly obvious, UI concept). Between regulatory issues and potential liability, I rather suspect it's a non-starter.
Still, various ideas are now rattling around in my head (and competing with all the other ideas I haven't been having time for). Maybe next year, if I manage to relocate to a place where I'd have a proper workshop and lots of tinkering space, I'll turn some of them into products, or at least subsystems for sale.

Just got a cool-new-products email from one of the Euro-component companies.
Attention-grabbing: a 1" square by very flat SMT lithium cell, 0.7AH, for powering those tiny IoT thingies when it's dark.
So I click, then click through to a distributor: $28 each in quantities of 250. Eek?
Really, now. What "just because it's cool" IoT gadget can you sell at a price consistent with a $28 battery?
We need cheaper energy-storage devices! (Yeah, rather bulkier no-name Chinese lithium cells of similar capacity, intended for use in toys, can be had for under $5 in modest quantities... but apart from the bulk, I'd be concerned about long-term reliability.)
We also need cheaper radio modules. Incorporating an OEM ZigBee module is another market killer, partly because ZigBee is such a big (and subject to licensing) protocol.
Maybe I should dust off Bluebird. My prototypes, several years ago, worked fine, and a transmit-only module drew right around 1µW in standby mode (ready to wake up if an input changed state, so suitable for applications such as motion sensors and doorbell buttons). Never got to the FCC certification stage, but that should be a no-brainer. A super-low-standby-power transmitter module, and a fairly-low-power transceiver module, range of 100 feet or so indoors, provided as little boards with certification? Product idea! (Actually, it might make more sense just to make the transceiver module and have a mode-select pin; TX-only can be slightly smaller and cheaper, but starting with a single hardware article cuts NRE, low-volume manufacturing costs, logistical headaches, and so on. It would also need to incorporate the functionality of a planned-but-never-prototyped third module, the hub.)

Product concept: Helicopter Parent. It's a quadrotor that follows your daughter around and keeps an eye on her.
With the optional shotgun attachment, it becomes the Chaperone Drone. (Maybe also a pheromone sniffer unit?)
For positive tracking, the subject should be wearing a transponder. Maybe in a locking collar.
No need to build the actual product, just some props for the promotional vid. Basically, a couple of quadrotors, one with a pan/tilt camera mount, plus a toy shotgun (lightweight plastic) and an adapter to hold it in the camera mount.
Cast... need the kid (maybe two, ages 15 and 18), Mom (perky helicopter-parent type), several leering boys (maybe one group of high-school seniors and one of college sophomores), and of course the Voice-Over.
Location: has to look like a school. Also has to be a place where something that looks like an armed drone won't trigger a total freak-out.

How about this one?
Laundry machines that send a message to your phone when they're done (or in the event of a load imbalance, or other anomaly).
Not so much for home; that'd be more of an IoT thing, with status available through the household network. For laundromats, guest laundry at motels, and such.
Maybe use NFC to send the phone number. (If done right, this could discourage pranking.) Better still, combine with pay-by-bonk.
(Not that I use pay-by-bonk, nor even have it enabled. I haven't even looked at Google Wallet lately, aside from noting that, when I set it up years ago, I seem to have used a credit card which is now long defunct. Is there even a way to set it up with a modest cash balance and no associated credit card?)

If you're out and about, and every so often check your smartphone to see what WiFi networks might be in range, you'll occasionally see an unsecured access point with a name that sounds remarkably like a wireless printer.
Obviously, What The World Needs Now is a smartphone app that, when the phone isn't connected to WiFi, looks for unsecured, default-printer-named access points, figures out approximately what model of printer it's looking at, and sends a print job.
Or perhaps
Or simply

Just a couple of throwaway ideas, being as how I don't have the connections to get them into production... and, hey, maybe they exist and I just haven't seen them.
I've got a double-walled (so, somewhat insulated) plastic cup with its own swirly straw. It has a standard-sized base, to fit a standard automotive cup holder. So far, so good. But! Being regular-soda-sized on the outside, it's quite small on the inside, so filling it with ice & water in the morning doesn't keep me supplied with cold sippin' water for the day... not even to lunchtime. How about making these things in large & jumbo sizes, keeping the standard base dimensions?
Relatedly: is anyone making a car with Peltier modules in the console cupholders? Wouldn't it be nice to have the ability to keep drinks cold, or hot, or one of each? If automotive consoles were of standardized dimensions, this could be an aftermarket item, but I fear it really needs t be a factory goody.

Is a random-looking-number generator.
Thing about random numbers is, they don't necessarily look random. Ask a true random-number generator for a 4-digit random number, and 0000 is just as likely as any other.
But 0000 isn't a random-looking number. 3586 is a random-looking number.
So, to generate random-looking decimal numbers... for starters, the first digit can't be zero. It just can't. Or maybe it could be zero, but with a low probability. Then, repeated digits are bad. So:
Start with 10 bins, representing digits 0 through 9. Bin 0 gets maybe a 2% probability, and 1 though 9 get 10.889% each. For each digit in the result, pull a digit out of a bin according to current probabilities, then take some of the probability from that bin and distribute it evenly among the others.
This should result in numbers that look nicely random, despite being considerably less random than really random numbers.
Has someone already done this? I dunno. I haven't done my homework. I'm just being random, or at least random-looking.

Reading a novel, which I'll probably review after I finish it.
Has a lab explosion, which doesn't quite follow the trope of "experiment blows up, inventor killed, all notes lost, subplot wrapped up neatly." But it calls the trope to mind.
And I think back to the early days of my stint in Corporateland, and my thought that there really should be a system for keeping electronic lab books. At the time, this would have involved a Java client, and all the awkwardness that entails; in the modern world of HTML5 and such, all the client-side stuff could be handled in the browser proper.
And it would enable project-level lab books with multiple engineers participating, and that kind of good stuff.
The original concept involved keeping the data in-house, on the corporate server. But... why not (along the lines of paid repository hosting) have a lab-book hosting service, at a site entirely separate from anyone's lab? With some sort of off-off-site backups, of course.
And: another note for the open-source not-LabVIEW that I keep meaning to write (or any such thing that anyone is writing): include the capability of streaming results directly to a server, whether on- or off-site. Preferably, have some way to integrate with an on-line lab-book system.
So, when the lab blows up, or burns down, or is devoured by the Great Old Ones... all the notes are stored safely on a server in a distant location, along with data up to the final moment.
As a service, this would require some policy options, such as a designated heir to the project, release to public if the owner doesn't check in for some specified interval, etc. Just so the work isn't permanently lost when an experiment in applied theology unexpectedly succeeds.

Fantastic - I took ds's camping on my own - first time camping and managed to put the tent up and down without too many problems! I'd been shown once how to do it and because the poles are all built in it really is easy. Tons of space and you can stand up in it. And sewn in groundsheets which is a must when you've got a spider phobia...

Chicago Minister Preaches Marriage Equality to Congregation
May 29, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Charlie Joughin, HRC Press Secretary
Last Sunday Rev. Dr. Otis Moss, the Pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois, shared a letter he wrote to a fellow clergyman who had recently condemned President Obama's announcement he supports marriage equality.
In the letter that ultimately became his sermon that day, Rev. Moss explains to the congregation his view that marriage is about love and commitment, and that gay and lesbian couples should have the right to go down to City Hall and get married if they want to. He also believes it is wrong for people to try and use the Bible to discriminate:
"For the clergy to hide from true dialogue with quick dismissive claims devised from poor biblical scholarship is as sinful as unthoughtful acceptance of a theological position. When we make biblical claims without sound interpretation we run the risk of adopting a doctrinal position of deep conviction but devoid of love. Deep faith may resonate in our position, but it is the ethic of love that forces us to prayerfully reexamine our position."
Watch Rev. Moss' full sermon below.

Driver Assistance
Vehicle-to-vehicle communications are a fundamental pillar of autonomous, self-driving cars. Once vehicles can exchange data with each other and the greater driving infrastructure, they'll be able to "see" and adapt to driving obstacles more completely, preventing accidents and delivering more efficient driving. Mercedes plans to be the first automaker to bring a Car-to-X vehicle-to-vehicle communications system to market. Read More
The Range Rover Sport, long a staple of the affluent, inner-city SUV demographic, has had an urban makeover for 2013. Out from under the tarp at New York's Auto Show the new Sport is espoused to be the most agile and responsive Sport to date. Given New York proper is the largest Range Rover Sport market, it's fitting the new Sport should unveil here. Read More
Automatic wants to make you a smarter driver
Perhaps you've got a decent, several-year-old car that you're still happy with, but that you wish had some of the helpful computerized features of today's newer models. Should that be the case, don't go trading in your ride just yet. The Automatic system accesses your existing car's onboard computer, then displays driving and diagnostic data on your smartphone's screen. It could potentially save you money, trips to the garage, and even 911 calls. Read More
It's probably happened to all of us at one time or another ... we're driving with a passenger in the car, we get distracted by some thought or task, and are suddenly jolted back into the present moment by our passenger yelling "Look out for that guy!". Without their warning, we might have run into "that guy." Given that many of us spend a lot of time driving alone, Continental has come up with an electronic version of that watchful passenger – it's a driver assistance system that uses LEDs to alert zoned-out drivers to danger.

Hyundai integrates Google Maps features into its cars
The seamless vehicle technology previewed by the Connectivity Concept may take a few years to become reality, but Hyundai's in-vehicle tech is getting incrementally more advanced.

In the same way that we didn't go straight from landline phones to smartphones, there are likewise going to be some intermediate steps between today's manually-driven cars and tomorrow's fully self-driving models. We're already seeing some of those steps starting to pop up, in the form of things like Cadillac's Super Cruise control, Volkswagen's Temporary Auto Pilot, and Volvo's traffic jam assistance system. Nissan's latest contribution is its recently-announced Autonomous Emergency Steering System. Read More
As GM's marquee brand, Cadillac is the launch vessel for the automaker's technological advancements. The newest Cadillac technology that GM has announced is a vibrating driver's seat that provides tactile feedback to help keep drivers safer. While the vibrating recliner you have at home is designed to keep you comfortable and relaxed, in contrast GM is using a vibrating seat to keep you alert. The Cadillac Safety Alert Seat comes equipped with dual vibration zones that are connected to the car's sensor-based safety systems. Read More
It's no secret that teen drivers have to pay higher automobile insurance rates than most people – after all, they're less experienced, and some of them can be pretty reckless. If you're a good teen driver or one that doesn't drive much, however, it might seem rather unfair that you have to pay rates that are based on the worst driving habits of your peers. Well, Gibraltar-based insurethebox has what it claims is a better alternative – teens' cars are fitted with a telematics box that records the way and amount that they drive, and they end up paying less for their insurance if they drive well.

At one time not all that long ago, cars had a warning light on the dashboard that simply said "ENGINE." That's pretty vague. Really, it might just as well have said "CAR." Some newer automobiles now have codes that appear on the console, which the driver must then look up in an index in the vehicle's owner's manual. Working with Audi, Germany's Technische Universitaet Muenchen (TUM) Institute of Business Informatics is now working on taking things a step farther, with the development of an on-screen avatar that will talk to drivers, and even understand their spoken questions.

Cheaper vehicle sensory system developed
There are presently several in-car systems that use small cameras and sensors to alert drivers to dangers on the road, or even in their own driving habits. Some of these systems can be quite costly, and are therefore limited to use in fairly expensive automobiles. Now, however, a team of scientists from Germany's Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration have developed a new type of sensory system, that's cheap enough to produce that it could be used in economy vehicles.

Moody's Gives WME IMG B2 Credit Rating, Calls Company's Outlook Stable
Published February 28, 2014
THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE: Forstmann Little & Co. this week sent a letter to IMG employees thanking them for their hard work the last 10 years. The private equity firm is in the process of finalizing the sale of IMG to WME. In the letter, the trustees of Forstmann Little credited the growth of IMG College and the sports and entertainment businesses with helping IMG fulfill the goals the late Ted Forstmann had for the company. They wrote, "With the remarkable growth of IMG College, as well as the expansion and diversity of the sports and entertainment businesses, Ted's strategic vision has been realized through the genius and effort of the ... professionals who work for this great company." The letter suggests that the IMG sale to WME will be finalized in "a few short weeks" and the unified companies will "assume the preeminent position in the sports and entertainment world." The letter was signed by Kathleen Broderick and Winston Hutchins of Forstmann Little and Akin Gump's Mark MacDougall, the attorney and trustee who oversaw IMG's sale. It was written Feb. 25.

"The science that Willie Soon does is almost pointless." - NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt, to the New York Times
Recent revelations regarding Smithsonian scientist ...read more
Gary England is the chief meteorologist for KWTV Channel 9, the CBS affiliate in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
England has been described as the first person (in 1981) to use commercial Doppler radar to warn the public of tornadoes. He is on Senator Inhofe's list of global warming skeptics.
"The climate has always been changing and it will most likely always continue to change. In the distant past, we have been much colder than we are now and we have been much warmer than we are now. And all of that happened many times without humans.
"Here in Oklahoma we're a little warmer than we were 30 years ago. Recently we ended a two year drought and it has been replaced with significant, long duration rains. Is all of this a result of global warming? Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. You see, no one really knows. If they say they do, I suggest that person is confused at best or has an agenda at the worst.
"… .As someone said recently, 'It's the Sun stupid!' Recent research suggests that the activity of our Sun combined with cosmic radiation from far outside our galaxy interact with our atmosphere to produce effects never dreamed of a few years ago. Is anything or everything in this paragraph correct? No body really knows." [2]
"Climate is changing, always has and most likely always will until that thermonuclear engine in the sky, the sun, goes out." [3]
"Increased CO2 actually increases crop production," said England. "When CO2 drops to less than 150 (parts per million) plants will commence failing. If the plants die, then the livestock die and then guess who is next?" [3]
"'With respect to the discussion on global warming, I say there are no simple answers to such an extremely complex issue,' said England. "No matter how many models they wave in the air and no matter how dire their predictions about our impending doom, they don't know'." [3]
Jan 25, 2010
Gary England was described as a "scientist" to speak at a climate change talk hosted by the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association where he was to give a "weatherman's perspective" on the issue of global warming. [4]
Gary England does not appear to have written any scholarly articles or books on climate change.
He has published the following books on weather:
"Gary England," profile at News9.com.
"No One Really Knows on Global Warming, Oklahoma Weather Forecaster Says." Associated Content, July 1, 2007.
"Debate continues on Earth climate change and global warming," EnidNews.com, April 11, 2009.
"Cattlemen Will Hear Climate Change Talk With Gary England at OCA Quarterly Board Meeting," Oklahoma Farm Report, January 25, 2010.
"Gary England," Profile at News9.com. Accessed December 7, 2011.
"Gary England," Wikipedia Entry.
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

How many is there not that has been forgotten. It's only a barroom is great! Thank's Trigg.
Mercury recording artist and #1 hit songwriter Nick Nixon has passed away, according to sources close to his family. He passed away around 4 PM Tuesday afternoon (7-30-13) after battling pulmonary lung disease. He leaves behind his wife Kim, and five children. Nick was 74.
The St. Louis native penned the million-selling hit "The Teddy Bear Song" that became a #1 for Barbara Fairchild in March of 1973, as well as many other notable country compositions in the late 60's through the late 70's. Nixon had 12 Top 40 hits over his career, and he released an album simply entitled Nick Nixon that landed his song "Rocking In Rosalee's Boat" at #27 on the Billboard charts.
A newspaper article published on Nick Nixon once described his voice as "…a cross between Charlie Pride, David Wills, and a little Moe Bandy on the side. His country gentle approach to his music and fans attribute to his popularity and constant demand for performances…including the many charitable causes that he always finds time for."
Born in Poplar Bluff, MO, and later moving to St. Louis, Nick Nixon became a fixture of the St. Louis country music scene after moving on from the mainstream music world, and would regularly perform on local radio. On April 21st of this year, friends and fans threw Nixon a benefit and tribute that included performances from Barbara Fairchild, Jim Glaser of the Glaser Brothers, Jimmy Payne, and many more. Nixon also worked in the real estate business in St. Louis.
Though much of Nick Nixon's music is out-of-print, his timeless singing and sincere songwriting still hold up to this day.
How many is there not that has been forgotten. It's only a barroom is great! Thank's Trigg.
He will be missed by so many.
I just learned of Nick's passing. I saw him perform many times at clubs in the St.Louis area and I have most of those twelve Top 40 hits mentioned above. "Leave Your Back Porch Light On" and "A Habit I Can't Break" are my two favorites. Rest in peace, friend.
I moved to St. Louis in 1987 from Texas, when I arrived and went to Nicks club, and ask to set in, he said sure, after that I came to set in with Nick very often. I had a song that I wrote called Texas Bound, and needed a flop side, and nick wrote me a song called, "Love Me Again For The First Time "And it did get air play, on the radio, without Nick Nixon I would of never lived my dream and been on the radio, I'm waiting for the day I'll meet you again my friend
I met Nick at the old Sheraton Airport, a sometimes poet..his daughter gave him my poems I regret turning down his offer to publish them… Sad day…Nick was a star but a friend to a houseman like me…miss you ol friend…sail down that river in heaven. David Glenn

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 scores one against the iPad Mini
The Galaxy Note's more readable UI has appeal, but the iPad Mini remains a better tablet
For years, we've seen iPhone killers come and go, then iPad killers. Now, the target is the iPad Mini. Never mind that the iPad Mini was late to the game for small tablets -- Samsung has had seven-inch tablets for years, and Google's Nexus 7 popularized the mini tablet last spring.
The Note 8.0 comes on the heels of Samsung's ascendancy in the world of Android tablets, with its well-designed Galaxy Note 10.1 supplanting its own Galaxy Tab 10. What makes the Note series special is its included stylus, for pen-based operations. The Note 8.0n is the first mini tablet to have this capability.
[ InfoWorld's media tablet deathmatch: iPad Mini vs. Nexus 7 vs. Kindle Fire HD. | Reviewed: Google's Nexus 10 tablet. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with InfoWorld's Mobilize newsletter. ]
The theoretical benefits of the stylus
Theoretically, the addition of the stylus should make the Galaxy Note 8.0 very appealing to business users, to overcome the small onscreen keyboard of a mini tablet. Although the iPad Mini and other mini tablets have become very popular on living room couches as entertainment devices, physicians also love them because they are easy to carry and fit in a lab coat. Other mobile professionals are also warming up to the iPad Mini, which provides full app compatibility with the standard-size iPad.
But the iPad Mini's user interface is a bit scrunched, and reading its screens can be difficult, even if you use (as I do) its Accessibility settings to increase the text size. Although the smaller onscreen keyboard is serviceable, I get the appeal of a pen for checkoff-style input, as well as for drawing.
But I never found any reason to pick up the Note 8.0's stylus. The reason: So few apps use it. The included S Note app shows how useful a pen can be to take notes, make annotations, and so on. If pen support becomes common in Android apps, I would expect the Galaxy Note 8.0 to gain popularity; it would make a lot of sense for medical, logistical, sales, and other mobile pros to have pen-based apps in the easily portable form of the Note 8.0. Until that day, the pen remains more potential than real benefit.
The Note 8.0's big here-and-now advantage
There's a good reason to give the Note 8.0 serious consideration: its readability. Samsung has optimized the user interface so that text appears large, such as in the home screens and in apps like S-Planner (Samsung's Calendar replacement) and Email apps. By contrast, the iPad Mini's screen is a hard read -- reading glasses are recommended.
Beyond that one advantage, the Note 8.0 falls behind the iPad Mini in many key areas, especially for use as a media tablet. A big part of that is the lack of iTunes and related AirPlay support -- Apple's iPad Mini is part of an established media ecosystem that works well together, while the Android world remains fragmented for video-out, screen sharing, content streaming, and media content.
Samsung, like Google, is trying to create its own media ecosystem, but that has created confusion in devices like the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy S 4, where Samsung and Google offer competing services. Meanwhile, Apple's ecosystem just works, with the Apple TV supporting any HDMI-equipped TV or receiver.
Plus, the iPad Mini supports many of Amazon's and Google's content services, so you're not stuck in an Apple universe. By contrast, Samsung's products steer you to Samsung's offerings, and Google's Nexus line steers to Google's offerings -- limiting their appeal.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 does come with an infrared port to let it control a TV or receiver, but I had difficulty getting the WatchOn remote-control app to recognize my equipment -- the HTC One smartphone's equivalent TV app had no difficulty with this task. Of course, an iPad Mini can't serve as an IR remote, but at least that avoids the frustrations of it not working as expected.
The iPad Mini is a better piece of hardware. Although the Galaxy Note 8.0's screen is nice, its speakers are poor, with a tinny, flat sound as bad as the Nexus 7's or Kindle HD's. You will not want to listen to music or a movie without headphones when using the Note 8.0.
With an 11-pin, MHL-compliant MicroUSB-to-HDMI cable, you can connect the Note 8.0 directly to a TV or receiver, to use its better audio output -- but you can do the same with an iPad Mini's Lightning-to-HDMI cable.
The Galaxy Note 8.0 costs $400 for a Wi-Fi-only version; no cellular models are available. Onboard storage is a paltry 16GB, but you can insert a MicroSD card with as much as 32GB capacity to boost the storage space for music, videos, and documents. Note that apps cannot be installed on a MicroSD card.
Ironically, although media usage seems to be the mainstay of mini tablets, the Note 8.0's strength is as a business tablet. The iPad Mini works very well as a business tablet, but if more pen-savvy apps were available, the Galaxy Note 8.0 could give the iPad Mini a real run for its money.

Rheinsberg is associated with the author Kurt Tucholsky (1890-1935), but its castle is linked to the memory of Frederick the Great. Here he developed the idea that a prince should be «the first servant of his State.» He corresponded with Voltaire until the philosopher's death in 1778. The architect Knobelsdorff, the painter Antoine Pesne and the sculptor Friedrich Christian Glume created a style at Rheinsberg that was to reach its zenith in the palaces of Charlottenburg and Sans-Souci.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi authorities are planning to relocate the remaining residents of a camp housing dozens of Iranian exiles where 52 people were killed last week, the United Nations mission to the country said Saturday.
The eviction could prove contentious. The Shiite-led Iraqi government long has wanted to remove the Mujahedeen-e-Khalq dissident group from Camp Ashraf, a Saddam Hussein-era compound about 95 kilometers (60 miles) northeast of the Iraqi capital, but the exiles have been extremely reluctant to leave. Baghdad considers their presence inside Iraq illegal.
Thousands of camp residents relocated to a Baghdad-area facility on what is meant to be a temporary basis last year following months of negotiations.
A core of about 100 MEK members stayed behind, 52 of whom were killed in shootings Sunday that the group blames on Iraqi security forces. Another seven people are missing and are believed to be detained, according to the MEK. Iraqi officials contend that an internal dispute was to blame.
The U.N. mission to Iraq said Saturday that Iraqi authorities have ordered the remaining residents from Camp Ashraf to be moved to the Baghdad-area facility, a former U.S. military base known as Camp Liberty. Iraqi officials are expected to carry out the order "without delay," according to the U.N.
Deputy U.N. envoy Gyorgy Busztin called on both sides to exercise restraint to avoid any violence during the relocation. He said the U.N. is ready to monitor the process.
"We strongly hope all parties will act responsibly and that the process of relocation to Camp Hurriya will be peaceful and voluntary," Busztin said.
Ali al-Moussawi, the spokesman for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, confirmed that an order has been issued to evict the residents. He declined to say when the transfer would take place, but said the government insists it happen "as soon as possible."
The MEK opposes Iran's clerical leadership. It carried out a series of bombings and assassinations inside Iran in the 1980s and fought alongside Iraqi forces in the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war. Saddam granted several thousand of its members sanctuary inside Iraq.

Police in Northern Ireland say three officers have been wounded by a shotgun blast during overnight riots in Belfast and two dozen other officers have sustained other injuries.
The riots broke out as sectarian tensions rose with the approach of Monday's celebrations by Protestants of a 17th century battlefield victory over Irish Catholics.
The violence occurred in Catholic areas of central Belfast.
Police said one female officer and two male officers were wounded by shotgun pellets, and two dozen other officers sustained various injuries. None of the injuries was reported to be life—threatening.

The Houston-Galveston Area Council is partnering with the Center for Transportation and the Environment and Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. to replace existing diesel-powered delivery vehicles with all-electric medium- and heavy-duty Smith Newton trucks in the Houston-Galveston area.The H-GAC Zero Emission Truck project will demonstrate the effectiveness of all-electric delivery vehicles to perform at the same level of operation as similarly sized diesel delivery vehicles. The deployment of 30 trucks is planned, which will reduce petroleum consumption by over 250,000 gallons of diesel over a two-year period.The Newton trucks feature Smith's proprietary Smith Power system, which has 40 kWh to 120 kWh battery-pack options, and the Smith Drive and Smith Link platforms. The vehicles that will be deployed under this grant intiative are based on Smith's latest production-model Series 2000, which has been deployed in several locations in the U.S., the company says.Smith notes that an electric vehicle charging station will be delivered as a part of the project. Full recharging of each vehicle takes approximately six to 10 hours per night.
