Oh, my: Green group suing the State Department over Keystone XL
posted at 5:21 pm on July 16, 2013 by Erika Johnsen
After President Obama's big climate-change environmentalist pander-fest in June, during which he contended that his administration will not be approving the Keystone XL pipeline unless they find that doing so "does not significantly exacerbate the problem of carbon pollution," his ambiguity understandably sent radical environmentalists into a slow-burning tailspin of panic and desperation. Seeing as how Canada plans on developing their oil sands whether or not the United States decides to show up at the market, and that the State Department's previous reports have nixed exacerbated net climate-change effects, the president certainly didn't effectively rule out the pipeline's ultimate approval.
The green groups that have dedicated so much of their time, resources, and PR to killing the project are ergo putting the pressure on the Obama administration in every way they can think of; last week, several were not-so-subtly hinting at organizing mass protests across the country in the event of a green light (uhm… reminder: two-thirds of Americans support building the Keystone pipeline), and one green group is now taking a leaf out of what has typically been conservative groups' book for extracting some of that much-promised transparency from the Obama administration:
An environmental group is suing the State Department to force release of communications between State officials and lobbyists seeking approval of the proposed Keystone XL oil sands pipeline.
Friends of the Earth, in the public records lawsuit filed Tuesday, says the department has failed to provide information that's "critical" because several pro-Keystone lobbyists once worked for Secretary of State John Kerry or former Secretary Hillary Clinton.
"In light of these relationships, the requested records would allow [Friends of the Earth] to inform the public about the nature of the State Department's decision-making, and the role any of these lobbyists may be playing in that process," the lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, states.
It challenges State's refusal to provide "expedited processing" of documents sought in late April under the Freedom of Information Act, noting that, "the value of the records will be lost if not received quickly because the environmental review process is moving forward."
And in that same vein, both chambers of Congress have now expressed their majority support for the pipeline's construction, but The Hill also reports that Energy and Natural Resources Committee chair Sen. Ron Wyden is considering conducting some oversight proceedings on the pipeline's proposal — and I don't mean the type that would look into the administration's bizarre and inexcusable dithering about it.
Wyden told reporters Tuesday that he's had "a number of conversations" with senators about oversight proceedings for the proposed Canada-to-Texas pipeline.
"There are a host of questions with respect to Keystone, foremost of which is the evidence pointing to the fact that much of that energy is going to get exported," Wyden said after a Senate hearing, highlighting an issue that has divided the pipeline's backers and detractors. …
Wyden has long said he believes the oil sands Keystone would haul to the Gulf Coast are destined for markets abroad, rather than for domestic consumption — a claim he reiterated Tuesday.
"You've got basically half of the refineries in the Gulf Coast area essentially foreign-controlled. And they've already indicated that they want to export. And a bunch of the American-owned refineries want to export. So I've been concerned for some time about the export question," he said.
Yes, and I'm sure he in turn has plenty of environmentalist lobbyists whispering in his ear — just like he does with the special interests that are similarly trying their hardest to hold up the natural gas export battle. Because, miraculously, the federal government manages to actively promote exports in some economic sectors, and yet find fictitious reasons for actively deterring them in others — as if free trade in some strange instances somehow doesn't lead to more wealth and prosperity. Amazing.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Congressmen Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.), Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) and a bipartisan group of 133 of their colleagues today introduced a bill to help landowners work with 1,700 land trusts nationwide to protect millions of acres critical for water, wildlife and working farms, ranches and forests. Both are members of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee."H.R. 2807 makes conservation a real and affordable option for family farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to protect lands that are vitally important to their communities," said Land Trust Alliance President Rand Wentworth, the head of a national conservation group representing 1,700 land trusts that have conserved 47 million acres. "We have such a diverse coalition of groups working together on this bill because saving land helps communities in so many ways. [Find out how many land trusts exist in each state and how many acres they conserve]The bill has an extraordinarily varied list of supporters, including 64 organizations representing agriculture, wildlife conservation, forestry, hunting and fishing, and the environment. It also has generated a list of 135 cosponsors that spans the ideological spectrum, a rare event in what has been a very partisan session of Congress. View a list of cosponsors.Since 2006, an enhanced income tax deduction has enabled family farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to get a significant tax benefit for voluntarily forgoing future development of their land, boosting conservation by one third, to more than one million acres a year. However, this enhanced tax incentive is due to expire at the end of this year.The introduction of the bill is particularly important given that a major rewrite of the tax code is expected from both the House and Senate tax committees this year. Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Orin Hatch (R-Utah), the Chairman and Ranking Member of the Senate Finance Committee have introduced a similar bill, S.526, in the Senate.Without the enhanced tax incentive, an agricultural landowner earning $50,000 a year who donated a conservation easement worth $1 million could take a total of only $90,000 in tax deductions. Under the enhanced incentive, that landowner can take up to $800,000 in tax deductions – still less than the full value of the donation, but a nearly nine-fold increase that would dramatically increase voluntary land conservation.
"Approximately two-thirds of our nation's lands, and thus wildlife habitat, are privately owned. Conservation easements incentivize good land stewardship while allowing landowners to maintain ownership and keep working their land," said Ducks Unlimited CEO Dale Hall. "Conservation easements are one of the most powerful and effective tools in preventing key habitat from being lost to development, and we thank Reps. Gerlach and Thompson for their leadership. Permanent tax incentives for conservation easements will make it more affordable for more private landowners to protect essential wetlands habitat for waterfowl, other wildlife and all of our citizens.""The Nature Conservancy strongly supports the Conservation Easement Incentive Act," said Mark R. Tercek, President and CEO of The Nature Conservancy. "The use of tax incentives for the donation of conservation easements by rural landowners has proven to be highly popular and successful in encouraging such donations. Rural family landowners must plan for years in advance for the future of their lands, and finding a way to retain their lands in family ownership is often the most important challenge they face. By making these tax incentives permanent, this legislation would encourage the economic stability of rural communities by allowing farmers, ranchers and forest landowners to afford the donation of easements and to plan for those donations in ways that best meet their financial needs. Ensuring the long-term stability of this provision would also allow groups of landowners to work together over time to conserve whole areas of particular agricultural, scenic and natural value. This legislation is good for families, good for retaining farms and ranches in agricultural use, good for open space, and good for wildlife habitat. We thank Congressmen Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.) and Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) for introducing this important legislation today. The Nature Conservancy urges swift approval of this bill, as well as the parallel Rural Heritage Conservation Extension Act sponsored in the Senate by Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah)."National Association of Conservation Districts President Earl Garber said, "This conservation easement tax incentive will result in voluntary, landowner-led conservation on millions of acres land. Easements help maintain or enhance land so as to also benefit agricultural production and natural resources. By giving donors the ability to maximize their deductions of up to 50% of AGI in any given year, and by allowing a farmer or rancher to deduct up to 100% of their AGI, the effectiveness of this tax incentive increase would benefit natural resources over time.""America's 22 million woodland owners face numerous threats to maintaining healthy woodlands, including increasing pressure to sell their land. Conservation easements are one way for landowners to pass on their forest legacy and protect important public benefits such as wildlife habitat and clean water. The American Forest Foundation applauds the bipartisan cooperation of Reps. Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.) and Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) to introduce the Conservation Easement Incentive Act," said Tom Martin, President and CEO of the American Forest Foundation.Will Rogers, President of The Trust for Public Land, said, "The conservation tax incentive has been an important and effective tool for conservation, particularly for landowners who do not have enough annual income to fully benefit from general deduction for their charitable support. We hope Congress acts soon to permanently protect this incentive, which will help protect open space and also help preserve a way of life for many American farming and ranching families. We salute the leadership of Reps. Jim Gerlach and Mike Thompson, along with all their House co-sponsors. And we also want to recognize the Land Trust Alliance, which has been a leading voice on this important issue.""American Farmland Trust commends Rep. Jim Gerlach and Rep. Mike Thompson for their leadership in introducing the Conservation Easement Incentive Act," said American Farmland Trust President Andrew McElwaine. "This deduction is a vital tool, helping keep farmers on the land and the land in production, which is an important part of food security. We call on Congress to quickly extend this essential legislation.""Conservation easements on private lands nationwide are vitally important to assuring that America's precious wildlife habitats can endure," said Douglas H. Grann, President and CEO of Wildlife Forever. "With the U.S. population trends continuing upward, the voluntary conservation of America's wildlife, forests and watersheds by private landowners is a must if quality hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation opportunities are going to remain a part of the American experience. Congress must act now to pass the Conservation Easement Incentive Act." Wildlife Forever is the nonprofit conservation arm of the North American Hunting Club and North American Fishing Club, whose combined memberships exceed one million hunters and anglers in the U.S. and Canada.

BURLINGTON, VT -- The Land Trust Alliance has launched a one-of-a kind liability insurance company called Terrafirma Risk Retention Group LLC to defend over 20,000 properties conserved by small community land trusts in Washington, DC and 46 states from expensive, frivolous lawsuits. (The only four states with no Terrafirma land trusts are Arkansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and Oklahoma.)The most expensive land trust litigation to date cost more than $1.5 million, and others have cost over $250,000, far exceeding the reserves of most land trusts. For example, the Nevada County Land Trust, and the owners of conserved land near Nevada City, California were sued by an adjacent landowner who attempted to build a road across protected land to gain access to his property. The trial included eight days of testimony by 23 witnesses over an 8-month period, 455 exhibits, and two site visits. The land trust had to conduct a special appeal campaign locally to raise part of the over $300,000 in defense costs. The land trust, now called the Bear Yuba Land Trust, protects the Bear River and Yuba River watersheds providing over half of California's water. It is one of 53 land trusts in California, which collectively protect three-quarters of a million acres of conserved land statewide, that have joined Terrafirma."As land values rise, land trusts will face increasing litigation from deep pocketed opponents who are willing and able to bleed them dry to develop conserved land. Up until now, it has been David vs. Goliath," said Rand Wentworth, president of the Land Trust Alliance and a former president of a commercial real estate development company. "Terrafirma enables land trusts to pool their resources to defend their conserved lands against wealthy developers who want to pave over paradise."Land trusts protect a variety of vital natural resources, including clean air and water, wildlife habitat, farms, ranches, forests, gardens, historic battlefields, nature preserves, parks, shorelines, and trails. One Terrafirma participant, the American Chestnut Land Trust in Calvert County, Maryland, offers hiking trails and canoe trips on its beautiful 3,000-acre preserved area that protects the most pristine watershed on the western shore of the 200-mile long Chesapeake Bay. The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in the United States and home to over 300 species of fish and numerous shellfish and crab species, including the Atlantic menhaden, Striped bass, American eel, Eastern oyster, and the Blue crab. Nonprofit land trusts are likely to be the most important tool to conserve land in the 21st century. Congressional appropriators have withheld $16 billion in authorized funding over the past 46 years for the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a major funding source for federal and state acquisitions of land and conservation easements (development restricted land), often purchasing land acquired by land trusts. The LWCF is due to expire in 2015, unless Congress reauthorizes it. Nearly 60 percent of land trusts are one person or all volunteer operations. The average size of the land trusts' conservation easements is 300 acres and the average value is $450,000. Each year, an estimated 2 million acres of America's farms, ranches, forests, wildlife habitat, and other open spaces are fragmented into smaller parcels or lost to development, according to the President's Annual Economic Report to Congress in March.This conservation defense liability insurance coverage is not available from commercial or nonprofit insurance carriers for several reasons. The insurance pool is too small to generate enough income, these carriers don't understand the litigation risks facing land trusts, and they want to settle cases to keep their expenses low and profits high, rather than initiate and defend cases to ensure land is conserved in perpetuity. Taking matters into their own hands, more than 420 land trusts joined with the Land Trust Alliance to create Terrafirma to protect more than 6 million acres of conserved land, 75 percent of the over 8 million acres conserved by land trusts that cannot afford to self-insure themselves individually, according to the 2010 National Land Trust Census. "The IRS has stated that a land trust could lose its tax status or ability to accept further donations if it does not have sufficient resources to monitor or defend conservation easements," said Frederic C. Rich, a partner of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, an international law firm based in New York that provided nearly $1 million of pro bono services to create a solid legal foundation for Terrafirma. "With insurance from Terrafirma, land trusts can now assure their communities, donors, the IRS, other regulators and legislators that they have the financial capacity to defend their conserved lands in perpetuity."Terrafirma's business is limited to insuring its land trust owner members against the costs of litigation necessary to protect their conserved lands from threats such as trespassing, vandalism, and adverse claims for damages by developers and other parties. Terrafirma differs from other insurance in that it covers all legal-related fees for both enforcement and defense and includes mediation, negotiation and court fees. "I am both proud and excited about the Alliance's success in creating Terrafirma," said Andrew Bowman, director of the Environment Program for Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, one of eight major environmental foundations that provided $4 million in capital funding to launch the service. "This innovative service enables community-based nonprofits to protect wildlife habitat and other conserved lands that represent billions of dollars of public and private investment."The Terrafirma conservation defense insurance program goals include: 1) protecting the permanence of conserved land; 2) creating favorable case law and avoid unfavorable case law; and 3) encouraging practices to cut the risk of conservation violations and unnecessary litigation.The basic policy includes: 1) first year premium of $60 per year per conservation easement or fee-owned land; 2) a maximum limit of $500,000 per claim and total claims limit of $500,000; and 3) a $5,000 deductible per claim regardless of policy limits. "I am the sole staff person of a small land trust in Georgia," said Steffney Thompson, executive director of the Oconee River Land Trust, which protects nearly 4,400 acres in northeast Georgia, including working forests, wetlands, hardwood forests, riparian buffers, and agricultural lands. "The Terrafirma conservation defense liability insurance program is a very reasonable, balanced, targeted critical service that helps us protect our community's conservation lands."

Bruce mulls Sol deal
Sunderland boss Steve Bruce has confirmed he has held talks with Sol Campbell but insisted the former England international is just one of his options as he bids to strengthen his defence over the summer.
Campbell is a free agent after leaving Arsenal at the end of last season and has been sounded out by Bruce, who also retains an interest in Schalke's Heiko Westermann and Ghana international John Mensah.
"I have known Sol Campbell for a lot of years and it was nice to see him," said Bruce. "We had a catch up to see what his ideas are and what he is up to. It was pretty positive stuff and we will see what happens there."
Westermann is still a primary target with a bid lodged for a player who would have been in the Germany squad had he not broken a foot in a warm-up game.
"I've a number of irons in the fire," Bruce added in the Sunderland Echo. "The situation with Westermann was complicated because the boy got injured at the end of last season. But there is still interest there. We have made a bid but that hasn't come to anything at the moment.
"As for John Mensah, we all saw what a terrific player he is when he was here last season. When he is fit, he is up there with the best I have worked with. He has been back here to see me this week and we will have to see how that situation develops."

fragment of data extraction Posted by rick (rick), 14 October 2007 Hi Graham,thanks for the previous help.But now my problem is I want to extract data from a file and write it to another.However the problem I want to extract a part of the lines not the whole line.but the whole line became copied not only my desired portion. for eg; >gi|110554|avian influenza virus type and groups from these type of lines(these lines occur in the files followed by a gene sequence,and the number after gi varry)I want to extract only the >gi|110554 portion and store them to a separate file. and then make files with these gi numbers,which contained the sequences followed by the gi number. like, >gi|70981541|ref|XM_741207.1| Aspergillus fumigatus Af293 amino acid transporter, putative (AFUA_4G01570) mRNA ATGGGTTCCATGCACGAGGCAGGATCCCGTCCTGCTGCGGGTGCTGATATGGACACAGATCGTGTACATC >gi|55047815|ref|XM_741207.1| Aspergillus fumigatus Af293 amino acid transporter, putative (AFUA_4G01570) mRNA CTGAAGCTGTTTCCGATAACGAGCGTGACTTTGAGAAGCAGGACTCGAAACCAGAGTATCAGGATGCATT so the file,named >gi|55047815 will contain only the sequence next to it. I have tried many books for 2 days but really failed to do this. plz help. Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 14 October 2007 Here's a program that reads a stream of data and puts each sequence into a separate file named after the sequence number.Code:
and my test output Code:
Hope it helps ... please do post up sample code if you have a follow up question; we're very much a forum that's set up to help with coding rather than to provide complete utilities! Posted by rick (rick), 14 October 2007 Hi Graham,thanks for the help.But this programme is not working,when I used it ,it did not create any file named after such sequence.The programme I used before to copy the >gi lines totally is: open (FH,"FASTA.fa") or die; open (FHO,">d.txt") or die; while (<FH>) { /^>gi/ and print FHO; } close FH; close FHO; But it copies the total line.plz modify it or tell me how to sparate only the gi numbers.like only >gi|33318110 not the >gi|33318110|gb|AF508640| /Avian/1(PB2)/H9N2/South Africa/1995/// Influenza A virus (A/Ostrich/South Africa/9508103/95(H9N2)) segment 1 polymerase PB2 (PB2) gene, complete cds. and then make separate files with the gi numbers which contained the sequence next to it. Thanks again for ur kind help. Posted by admin (Graham Ellis), 14 October 2007 Actions inside the loop are repeated each time the loop is run, but actions outside the loop are performed just the once. So if you want to create multiple output files, you need to have your open inside the loop for starters. And you need to have some variable in the name of the file you open - otherwise you'll simply keep overwriting the same file. You can see both of these features in my sample program, but not in your code.This page is a thread posted to the opentalk forum

I have more questions than thoughts on this:
1. I dont find full specs to that phone... so on what base did people buy it, did they watched the video and said ok it kind of looks good lets buy it?
2. the specs we have are not that good, I can get for the exact same price a Oppo finder 5 30 euro more with 32gb. with a good camera, this phone seems to have no good one, I know mpixels are not all but it is one hint on the quality. with a solid case with 1080p display. yes you can say quadcore is not needed because of not using java but 1080p cant be made up with software.
3. I read anywhere opensource opensource... thats not different on androids side... so the question is will there be free 3d drivers for that phone at release and all other free drivers?
4. if not, whats so important about that phone, what prevents me from installing this os to any smartphone at least the ones that are supported officialy by cyanogenmod?
5. till that comes out maybe the finder 5 costs even only 350 euros, sry for me it looks at least on the first view as:
to little to late.
Wayland. Qt5. QML2. HTML5. Real linux with package manager and no reflashing of roms. The list of reasons why this is so exciting is endless. It is true the hardware is not the best, but given a price of <400 euros i see it quite reasonable.
All in all i think we are going to see a new standard for mobile phones UI:s being set. The N9 was already good on the mediocre 1ghz one core chip, and it had only X. I cannot even imagine how silky smooth Jolla phone will be with Wayland and the grunt of a modern dualcore mobile chipset.
afaik the pre orders are not even up yet.
Last edited by varikonniemi; 07-13-2013 at 05:47 PM.
so there is a fedora installer für the nexus 4... and for that chip is a free driver that even let you start at least xbmc... ok video-encoding is not yet availible through the free driver.
BUT that said, wayland can use the propriatary android drivers so xbmc with a real linux + xbmc and 1080p video ecoding should be possible.
And again nobody answered my question, why should it be a problem to install that os on another android phone????
If they would at least would have said that they use hardware where also for the gpu they have free drivers but it seems its not the case, they use also propriatary android drivers. it seems or did I miss here what?
So with a nexus 4 or some similar phone like the oppo find 5 (with the same soc) I think I will have a more open or free device, at least there are some descent Gallium3d drivers even with 3d support.
I dont really udnerstand why people always make so much of the standard-os that is installed on a machine. how good the android or non-android gui is. The question is how much people use that device how much it gets support from 3rd party groups and how open it is (maybe not in this order), and for me it seems this phone is not very open, just has a better default ui installed maybe.
ok I got proved kind of wrong with the raspberry, its pretty proprieatary but the fact that so much people bought it, brought this garbage kind of good drivers anyway. even if its technicaly impossible to write normal drivers for this thing, they made some hack to kind of make it work.
But I dont want hardware where you have to hack stuff to get it working.
But ok thats now a bit OT.
Qt5, all C and C++ on the OS level and Wayland. These are enough for me. I'm sick and tired of that crappy Dalvik and all those services that start up and eat my battery. I want a true Qt phone that has native C and C++ apps and OS. If it can run Android and HTML5 stuff good, but not for the basic stuff. Ubuntu has the same idea actually, they believe in native and Qt too but I'm not so fond of their Mir and their UI.
And then there's Tizen and FirefoxOS which somehow think running HTML5 on you phone is a good idea. It really isn't, javascript is way slower and more resource consuming than C and C++. It's actually a lot worse than even Java (Dalvik).
Oh by the way a dual core really is enough for a phone if it's efficient, why the heck do you need 8 cores ? I mean it's not like you do anything serious on it, is it ? Can anyone here tell me what he really needs a quad core phone for ? I bought a 6 core Phenom II x6 because I need to compile code frequently, lots of it but for a phone ...

Look at all This you guy's get your Wayland Shipping and you're still not happy
Quite a few details have already been confirmed. It's based on Mer (glibc, systemd, GNU coreutils & all) and Nemo Mobile. It uses Wayland, PulseAudio, oFono, GStreamer, Qt, Maliit...

Each year, the Food and Nutrition Board (FNB) sponsors a symposium
to stimulate discussion among scientists, practitioners, policymakers, and
He public on a topic of particular interest to the nutrition community. A
symposium entitled "What is America Eating?" was held December 10,
1984, at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C.
Selecting a topic for the 1984 symposium was particularly difficult
because many issues in nutrition both in the United States and abroad�
deserved special attention. For example, the widespread starvation and
malnutrition in developing countries such as Ethiopia would have been a
topic of timely and global significance. The implications of developments
in genetic engineering for our food supply are also of widespread interest.
Another topic, nutrition monitoring in the United States, has been in the
forefront of nutrition discussions among scientists, the U.S. Congress,
and federal agencies, especially He U.S. Depa~ent of Agriculture (USDA)
and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) agen-
cies that have the primary responsibility for nutrition surveillance of the
U.S. population. In Congress, discussions concerning the status and ad-
equacy of federal nudition-monitor~ng efforts have led to proposed leg-
islation. In addition, at He request of USDA and DHHS, an FOB committee
prepared a report on the uses and implications of USDA's Nationwide
Food Consumption Survey and the dietary intake portion of the National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, which is conducted by the
National Center for Health Statistics.
From among all the critical nutrition-related topics deserving attention
OCR for page R1
the FNB selected the dietary habits of Americans - their ~ends, deter-
minants, and nutritional consequences as an outgrowth of its interest in
nutrition surveillance. This challenging topic was greeted with enthusiasm
by the speakers invited to participate in the symposium. As a result, their
presentations were thoughtful, stimulating, and well received by all in
The PNB is a unit of the National Research Councils Commission on
Life Sciences. It was established more Han four decades ago, primacy
to address issues of national importance that pertain to Be safety and
adequacy of the nation's food supply, to establish principles and guidelines
for adequate nutrition, and to render authoritative judgment on the rela-
tionship between food intake, nutrition, and health. The FOB is a mul-
d~disciplinary group of biomedical scientists win expemse in various aspects
of nutrition, food science, epidemiology, food toxicology, and t-ood safety.
These scientists deliberate on global issues concerning food and nutrition,
initiate studies that are later assigned to standing or ad hoc FOB com-
mittees, and oversee the work of these committees.
The Food and Nutntion Board acknowledges Drs. Helen Guthrie, Jean-
Pierre Habicht, Henry Kamin, and Stanley Johnson for Heir leadership
in the planning of the symposium. The board is also grateful to Shirley
Ash and Susan Barron for managing Be arrangements for the symposium.
Thanks are also due to Frances Peter and audio Grumstrup-Scott for

text: Tour Maine Breweries on a Hop-fueled Road Trip Submitted On November 29, 2014 New England is big on beer — a tasty pint pairs nicely with any trip to the region, and Maine is at the frosted, frothy head of it all. The Pine Tree State has been pioneering the craft beer movement since the 1980s, long before today's liquid gold rush started making Budweiser nervous. It's as if Mainers were planning for this day all along: now, Maine's brewing history sets its brewery tours and beer-themed visits apart from the pack. Up in the mountains, down along the rocky shoreline, and right in downtown Portland, practically every taproom in the state is stocked with the products of top-notch Maine breweries. Start your tab at any of these Maine breweries and don't forget to taste outside of your comfort zone! Stop 1: Breweries in Portland, ME — Maine's biggest city is its brewery epicenter, too. It's chock full of local breweries, including Allagash Brewing Company, Sebago Brewing, Shipyard Brewery, Rising Tide Brewery, and Bunker Brewing. You can hop on the Maine Brew Bus for a customized tour of Portland's breweries, or chart your own course. Allagash, one of the most lauded Belgian beer makers in the country, offers hourlong tours that include a guided tasting of four of their beers. Tours are free, but they're in high demand, so you'll want to reserve them a few weeks in advance. Shipyard Brewing also offering free tours of their Maine brewery, with beer samples for the adults and Capt'n Eli's soda for the kids. Photo: The Maine Brew Bus Stop 2: Breweries in Freeport, ME — Head out of Portland and continue up the coast for a stop at Maine Beer Company in Freeport, ME. While they don't offer brewery tours, their tasting room features eight drafts on tap, local snacks, and merchandise. The big windows provide a great view of the brewery! For a full dinner, head to Gritty McDuffs, also in Freeport, for a lobster dinner, smoked pork fries, and plenty of their very own Maine beers. If you're looking to do some shopping on the side, Freeport's L.L. Bean outlet is one of the biggest attractions in the state. Stop 3: Oxbow Brewery — Continue up the coast to Newcastle, ME, for a tasting at Oxbow Brewery. Known as "loud beer from a quiet place," the American ales with saison yeast are a staple. The tasting room is in an old Maine farmhouse and offers samples as well as bottles and growlers for purchase. To check another Maine brewery off your list, head over to nearby Sheepscot Valley Brewing Company, a small grassroots operation in Whitefield, ME. Photo: Shipyard Brewing Company Stop 4: Breweries in Rockland and Belfast — Heading up Route 1, make a stop in scenic Rockland, Maine, for a pint at Rock Harbor Brewery. This brewpub offer tasty treats like hot crab and artichoke dip with its very own beer to wash them down. Continue on to Belfast for a visit to Belfast Bay Brewing Company, purveyors of the famous Lobster Ale (a red ale), and pop into the tasting room at Marshall Wharf Brewing, located right on Belfast's waterfront. Stop 5: Breweries near Bangor — On the way up to Bangor, Maine, stop by Penobscot Bay Brewery for a cold one. Their chocolate stout, delightfully named "The Winnah," is a great hearty choice on a cold evening. Up past Bangor in Orono, Black Bear Microbrew serves up all of the beers they brew on site plus wood-fired pizzas and BBQ night on Wednesdays. Photo: Shipyard Brewing Compay Stop 6: Lewiston Breweries — Hop on 195 headed south to round out this Maine beer road trip, stopping at Baxter Brewing in Lewiston, Maine. Get a tour of the brewery and enjoy one complimentary pour and as many as care to responsibly purchase. The not-quite-legal crowd will love Baxter's Green Bee soda, poured from its very own tap. You won't find bottles to bring home here, however, as Baxter has been canning all of their beers since they started in 2011. Ready to pack the car and drain the kegs of Maine? The scenery, seafood, and suds await. As always, be sure to consider the effects of delicious beer on your travel plans. Travel with a group of friends to swap out the designated-driver role. Staying within an easy walk or cab ride from your Maine brewery of choice makes good decision-making easier and more fun, too. Luckily, all of the best breweries are surrounded by plenty of comfy, cozy places to stay in Maine. Happy Maine brewery hopping!

Speeding down the path to bring Detroit out of bankruptcy, city retirees — considered the linchpins of the court proceedings — approved pension cuts and a move to spin off the art museum as an independent nonprofit. The vote should keep the city's biggest creditors at bay.
What's Detroit Like A Year After The Bankruptcy?
Get ready, folks! It's time for another progress report on America's most forlorn and depressed city, now even deeper in the throes of bankruptcy than ever before.
The city of Detroit filed a 120-page plan for bankruptcy today, including plans for investments in public safety, pensions for retirees and the Detroit Institute of Arts. If you've got time, read it here.
Detroit Is Officially Bankrupt, Judge Says
A U.S. bankruptcy judge has decided that the city of Detroit can enter into bankruptcy, about five months after the city filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in history. At stake is the future of pensions for thousands of city retirees and artwork in the Detroit Institute of Art worth millions.
What Role Did The Auto Industry Play In Detroit's Decline?
Last month, the Detroit Free Press offered a superb explanation of how exactly Detroit went bankrupt. Today, The Detroit News is up to bat, and although their analysis is sadly lacking in .GIFs, it does share more insight on how the industry that drove the Motor City to success also drove it to failure.
Why Detroit Went Bankrupt In One GIF
This straightforward GIF simplifies the long, but not-as-complicated-as-you-think story of Detroit's recent bankruptcy and counters the idea that it was always inevitable. It comes from this impressively thorough, absolutely must read story on Detroit's bankruptcy from the Detroit Free Press. Leave here and go there…
Beyonce Loves Detroit More Than Your City
I'm sure the Texan Jalop Alliance might disagree with that headline, but other than shouting out Houston a bunch of times over her career, I can't recall Beyonce making a specific dedication to any other city.
Someone Tried To Auction The City Of Detroit On eBay
The City of Detroit may be $18.5 billion in debt and about to initiate the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history, but had you moved a little quicker this weekend, you could have owned it for the low, low price of $7.50. Free shipping, too!
Detroit Bankruptcy Fights Begin As Judge Declares It Unconstitutional
Like I said yesterday: You didn't expect the Detroit Bankruptcy to happen without drama, did you? Today a circuit court judge ruled the bankruptcy filing unconstitutional and ordered it withdrawn. That won't stop the bankruptcy proceedings, however.
What Exactly Happens Now That Detroit Is Bankrupt?
Yesterday Detroit declared bankruptcy. It's the biggest American city ever to do so, and as I thought about that I realized I didn't really know what that actually meant for the city. Was the US Landlord General going to kick everyone out and change the locks? So I decided to see exactly what happens to a bankrupt…
We Love Detroit, Even If You Don't
Detroit is bankrupt. Does it hurt to write those words? Honestly, it doesn't. It hurts as much as ripping a Band-Aid off. Detroit is bankrupt. Detroit is bankrupt. Detroit is bankrupt.

Lawyers Trying To Stop Detroit Bankruptcy Claim Governor Tricked Them
You didn't think the bankruptcy of a major American city would go ahead without drama, did you? According to reports, opponents of Detroit's bankruptcy attempted to halt it from proceeding, but they claim they were hoodwinked by the governor and beaten to the courthouse by mere minutes.

I have a crooked nose-- even more pronounced when i smile. the tip is also very round and kind of "collapses" when i pinch the sides of it. Is this something that can be fixed, and if so, how much would the total cost be? I've attached pictures of how my nose is now, and what I would like it to look more like. Thank you!
Rhinoplasty for a Crooked Nose and Bulbous Tip?
Doctor Answers 17
It seems that you are a good candidate for a rhinoplasty that will improve the way your nose looks to complement your facial features in a natural fashion. However, without a physical examination it is not possible to provide you with specific details. I highly recommend that you schedule a consultation with a well-experienced surgeon. As for the cost, it varies depending on what needs to be addressed based on the surgical details agreed upon before your surgery.
It is important to mention that the finest cosmetic results in any particular case are based on a variety of factors, including: the unique anatomy of the patient, realistic expectations, a well-informed and detailed discussion with your plastic surgeon concerning the best options for you especially covering a deep understanding of the pros and cons of any given choice you will adopt.
Please keep in mind that following the advice from a surgeon online who offers to tell you what to do without a physical examination covering the nature and the status of the tissue, assessing your desired outcome, taking a full medical history, and discussing the pros and cons of each operative solution would not be in your best interest. With that in mind, it is the safest and for your best interest to find a plastic surgeon with solid experience and certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery who is ideally a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that you will trust and be comfortable with. You should discuss your concerns with that surgeon in person.
Good luck!!!
Ali Sajjadian, MD FACS
Rhinoplasty is a great surgical procedure to minimize a bump in the nose, bulbous tip and/or to straighten a crooked nose. The nose is unique in that the tissues do have some memory. Experience matters. Find a board certified plastic surgeon in your area that performs rhinoplasty surgery routinely and look at before and after pictures. Good luck!
By correcting your septal deviation, it will help your breathing but it may not necesarily fix your crooked nose. This can be improved with a rhinoplasty, either open or closed. You may need some grafts placed. I am sure it can be improved but it will probably not be as straight as you want. Watch my videos!

Your complaints about your nose are very common. Your deviation sounds like it is related to a deviated septum and your tip can be refined as well. It would necessitate an open septo-rhinoplasty and likely require structural cartilage grafting to support your tip. This would likely be considered a cosmetic rhinoplasty and the price will vary depending on where you live. It is an outpatient operation with about a weeks recovery. I would seek an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon for your nose.
Web reference: http://www.drtrussler.com
You can correct all the nasal features you don't like with rhinoplasty surgery. The pictures show that your goals seem realistic. Costs will vary depending on the location and experience of your surgeon.
You did not mention if you had any injury to your nose. This is a different situation where I take into consideration the ability of the procedure tobe covered partially through insurance. If this is the case many isurances mandate a CT scan for evaluation. If there is a markedly deviated septum then at least a portion can be covered by insurance. If not then the procedure will need to be covered by the patient. Extremly crooked noses are difficult but start with straightening the septum. I reinforce that with your own cartilage from the septum then proceed to correct the tip and finally the width of the bones.
Cost varies for complicated rhinoplasty. As I understand it, the cost of rhinoplasty is more in cities such as Los Angeles when compared to less populated areas. Rhinoplasty and tip remodeling will improve your AP profile considerably.
Web reference: http://www.karemd.com
Rhinoplasty, or nose surgery, is quite common for a crooked nose. You may have had a nasal fracture leading to the crooked nature of your nose. It is also important to assess if you have a deviated septum. Straightening a crooked nose depends on the how much time has elapsed since the nose was broken. Typically, rhinoplasty to straighten a crooked nose will require osteotomies (controlled fractures) of the nose to put it back into place.
I have reviewed your pics and comments. The crooked nose is many times caused by abnormalities of the nasal septum. Nasal septoplasty will help to realign and straighten the septum. Nasal collapse is usually a function of weakness in the cartilage framework of the nose. Correction can be achieved by the addition of cartilage grafts which will help to strengthen your existing framework. Spreader grafts can correct internal valve collapse, alar batten grafts strengthen the lower lateral cartilage preventing collapse on inspiration, while columellar strut grafts will help to provide tip better tip support and projection. Lastly, the bulbous tip is due to abnormalities of the tip cartilage. Conservation reduction of the tip cartilage, combined with tip suture techniques, will help to refine the nasal tip. Good Luck.....Dr. Corrado
Web reference: http://www.dranthonycorrado.com/procedures/rhinoplasty.php
Rhinoplasty surgery can certainly improve the features of your nose that concern you. It sounds as though your nasal structural support is less than ideal as well. There are ways to improve the functional aspect of your nose at the same time. There is no reason that your nasal breathing should suffer after surgery.
A complete examination of your nose and how it relates with the rest of your face would allow for a more detailed assessment of what is possible with surgery.
A consultation would also allow for a dialogue about what other changes you're interested in achieving with your nose. I find that computer morphing is an excellent tool for this purpose. One of the important skills of an experienced rhinoplasty surgeon is to accurately portray what is technically feasible given a particular patient's anatomy.
It will be important to assess how much of your tip bulbosity is due to skin thickness versus cartilage orientation. Often there can be a combination of both aspects at work.
Given the crookedness it would also be important to fully examine the inside of your nose to look for further structural issues such as a deviated septum.
The question of surgery cost is hard to quote precisely as it depends quite a bit on what needs to be done and how long surgery would take. It is important to consider that surgery costs shouldn't be your only guiding factor. Typically more experienced surgeons who reliably get very good results have higher fees than less experienced surgeons.

Blue Bomber Report Record: 7–11–0
Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Back to Work: Training Camp Day 10
Two days removed from an encouraging pre-season game, this morning's practice was less than kind to a few Blue Bombers players. So inconsistent was the offence during work against the defence, head coach Paul LaPolice threatened to shut things down and start practice all over again. This was a couple hours into the four-plus hour session.
The Bombers had a scare when DE Odell Willis got tripped up rushing the quarterback and rolled into the legs of quarterback Steven Jyles. The pivot was slow to get up, and was limping around after the hit, but he returned and resumed his position in the QB rotation. Given the way the team looked at times this morning, having Jyles avoid injury was the best news of the day.
JANUARY UPDATE: The word on LT Glenn January is not good. According to LaPolice, the personable lineman has a torn pectoral muscle. His recovery timetable remains in question. January suffered the injury in the first Bombers series of Winnipeg's 34-10 win over Montreal Sunday. The team wasn't sure if January would need surgery to repair the muscle. LaPolice said the injury doesn't change the way the coaches will look at the hogs they have in camp, nor will it force them to go out and find another O-lineman.
WALKING WOUNDED: DB Jovon Johnson (knee), DB Nick Kordic (concussion), OL Ryan Donnelly (knee), WR Travis Shelton (hamstring), WR David Ball (hamstring), FB Daryl Stephenson (hamstring). FB Jon Oosterhuis did not participate in the workout and should be back on the field Wednesday.
NEW BLOOD: Receiver Jamayel Smith joined the Bombers for the workout this morning, and according to LaPolice, he's picking up things fairly quick. "For a guy who really didn't have any meeting time, he just jumped into lines and was able to runs some of the concepts -- so I was pleased with that," the coach said. Smith, a 6-foot, 189-pound Mississippi State product who spent the 2009 season with the New York Sentinels of the UFL, joins a Bomber receiving corps which now totals 14 players.
WHO WAS GOOD: WR Willie Foster had his best day of camp, snagging more than a few balls in tight traffic; DB Keyou Craver and LB Ike Charlton had picks for the defence. Craver's was especially impressive -- climbing the ladder to take one away from the hands of WR Adarius Bowman. When both players crashed down to the turf, a helmet-less Craver had the ball and was headed for the end zone. Bowman was left clutching Craver's bucket.
ON TAP: The team resumes workouts Wednesday, starting at 8:30 a.m.

I will look for the 78/79. I went to the junk yard and most of the bronco,s have a shock tower in the bucket and the have 1 bolt with 5 3/8 inch rivets. this makes it inpossible to remove them with a torch or grinder. i was told there are spring bucket only towers with 5 bolts to remove them like this last guy mentioned

I think they are pretty cheap from ford. I heard of someone getting some coil buckets for around $20 a piece. I am not sure if it is the exact ones you are looking for though.

'Welcome to Winnipeg'Swiss Olympic curling gear stolenBy PAUL TURENNE, QMI Agency |
WINNIPEG -- It appears some Winnipegger has unknowingly acquired a bit of Olympic memorabilia, albeit by foul, criminal means.
The Swiss women's Olympic curling team -- ranked fifth in the world -- has been in Gimli for a week holding their pre-Olympic training camp.
On Tuesday night, the team took their rental mini-van into Winnipeg to catch the Swiss-Belarussian Olympic tune-up hockey game at MTS Centre.
They parked in a surface lot a block away at Hargrave Street and Ellice Avenue, and when they returned after the game, they discovered an unwelcome sight.
"The passenger front window was broken. (Skip Miriam Ott)'s Swiss bag was stolen," said team coach Ken Tralnberg, an Edmonton native who's been coaching the team for two years. "She lost her curling shoes, her pants, one of her on-ice jackets, her gloves, that kind of stuff."
"Welcome to Winnipeg," he said jokingly. "It's the first time we spent any time there."
The bags of other team members were concealed in the back and were not stolen, Tralnberg said.
The team leaves for Vancouver Thursday, and Tralnberg said replacement equipment should be waiting for Ott when they arrive.
"We phoned Switzerland. We've got people bringing over her shoes from last year," he said. "Shoes are a critical part of curling. You have to break them in."
It's not the first time the Swiss team has been victimized in Canada.
Tralnberg said their hotel room was broken into a couple of years ago at the world championships in Vernon, B.C.
The curlers don't hold a grudge against their coach's countrymen, though, Tralnberg said.
"There's 33 million of us and only two who broke into the van," he said. "The girls just feel like anybody feels when they're broken into. There's a sense of violation."
"We're just trying to carry on. Adversity builds character."
The team plays a final tune-up game against a local team at the Gimli recreation centre Wednesday night before heading off to the Olympics Thursday.

News Release April 17, 2000 |
HOUSTON -- Texas Eastern Transmission Corporation (TETCO) announced today an open season for available capacity under Spectrum – TETCO's low cost, environmentally friendly alternative for the transportation of gas directly from Chicago to the East Coast. Spectrum has been enhanced to include the additional option of using Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America (NGPL) to provide upstream transportation from Chicago into TETCO. Spectrum uses existing pipeline infrastructure, taking advantage of existing available capacity on multiple pipelines to transport gas from supply source to market. Thus, Spectrum is an environmentally friendly option that materially reduces the consequences of other proposals to move gas to the East Coast. "Spectrum continues to be a win-win-win situation," said Tom O'Connor, senior vice president of marketing and capacity management for Duke Energy Gas Transmission. "The pipelines sell available space, Alliance shippers get the lowest cost service to premium eastern markets, and no construction means no environmental impacts or landowner concerns." The service will be available Nov. 1, 2000, to coincide with the start-up of the Alliance Pipeline, offering those shippers a cost-effective alternative to transport their gas out of Chicago to access eastern markets. The Spectrum transportation rate for service using the NGPL path is 46 cents peak and 21 cents off-peak, plus fuel, on a 100 percent LF basis. In addition, shippers may elect contracts with increased peak seasonal volumes for certain delivery points. "Given the pipeline capacity turnback situation, the Spectrum approach, which uses existing available capacity, is the right way to transport gas to the East Coast," said O'Connor. "Building major cross-country pipelines just doesn't make sense." The open season will be conducted from May 15 to June 15, 2000. An informational meeting will be held in Houston on May 9 and in Calgary on May 17. For information, call Randy Riha at 713/627-4746 or e-mail email@example.com. Duke Energy, a diversified multi-national energy company, creates value for customers and shareholders through an integrated network of energy assets and expertise. Duke Energy manages a dynamic portfolio of natural gas and electric supply, delivery and trading businesses -- generating revenues of nearly $22 billion in 1999. Duke Energy, headquartered in Charlotte, N.C., is a Fortune 100 company traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol DUK.

Best bars in London - Cocktail bars
Sup on classic cocktails at one of London's best cocktail bars
Whether you're looking for a top Tom Collins, a magnificent martini or the quintessential cosmo – somewhere in town there's a bartender just waiting to mix it for you. Some of the best cocktails can be found in hotel bars, while there are also some pretty cool bars in London shaking things up in a more low-key fashion. For the full range, check out our guide to the best cocktail bars in London.
Think we've missed a great cocktail bar in London? Let us know in the comment box below.
London's best cocktail bars
69 Colebrooke Row
This tiny bar opened in Islington in mid-2009, and is overseen by Tony Conigliaro, who is widely considered to be one of London's top bartenders and cocktail experts.
Read moreBar Termini
Bar Termini does two things: coffee and cocktails. Said cocktails are supervised by Tony Conigliaro, the alco-alchemist behind 69 Colebrooke Row and Zetter Town House, among others. We strongly recommend the marsala martini.
Read moreBooking Office
The superlatives come easy when describing the Booking Office: it is epic, soaring, dramatic, magnificent.
Callooh Callay
This landmark of the Shoreditch bar scene takes its inspiration from a line in 'Jabberwocky', a Lewis Carroll poem, and tends to divide visitors.
Ceviche (bar)
This Peruvian bar and restaurant is the place to pay homage to the Peruvian spirit and national drink, pisco.
Dabbous (bar)
Dabbous astonished us with its cutting-edge cooking, and its downstairs cocktail bar sets out to do the same.
Experimental Cocktail Club
'Speakeasies' are a trend at the moment, but as bar owners balance covertness with the economic reality of bringing in punters, some of the illicit thrill is inevitably lost.
Grain Store Bar
This, the bar of Brounet Loubet's terrific 'non-meat focussed' King's Cross restaurant, is equally imaginative, with the likes of truffle martinis and 'butter and hay champagne' on offer.

Point/Counterpoint - /opt vs. /usr/local
Kyle Rankin is a director of engineering operations in the San Francisco Bay Area, the author of a number of books including DevOps Troubleshooting and The Official Ubuntu Server Book, and is a columnist for Linux Journal.
/opt or /usr/local
I usually put small type of applications in /usr/local like clients types applications and servers type applications in /opt. /opt could possible be a nfs or samba mount which makes disaster recovery more easier of that mount. Now having said that you would want to make sure that share was located on a system that has a redundant backups ie RAID.
What about /srv vs. /var/lib ?
... and /home vs. /usr/home ? And /usr vs. /usr/local ?
An alternative view point just to mix it up.
I agree with both Bill and Kyle in their discussion of /opt vs. /usr/local (if such a thing is allowed) but I have yet another take on it given to me by some of the brains I used to work with who had a keener grasp of the idea of multiple computers vs single standalones.
If I am running a system as a standalone machine (even if it is networked to others of it's ilk) but shares no common data/code then /opt is a symlink to /usr/local
However, if I have a set of systems that have locally unique files, they, as Kyle said, go in /usr/local but the packages/tools/files that I build in one place to make available to all the systems in my "cluster" (not cluster computing, just grouped) then all these files and things go into /opt which is a shared mount point as Bill discussed.
And, if you are really good, you'll have /opt for different flavors of systems, such as opt.x86_64, opt.i386, opt.sol9, opt.irix, etc. and they automount as needed.
A simplistic example of the difference would be something like this:
Say you have four Linux hosts, one in Buffalo, one in Boston, and two in the central office in Dallas. The weather data from each of the sites is automatically stored in a data file in /usr/local because two of the three sites don't need to know about the data for the remotes. The program which reads this data, is the same binary and is found in /opt on each machine. Each of the systems can generate the local data trending information and store it in /usr/local but none of the systems can write to /opt.
Yes, it's a contrived example but I hope it illustrates the point reasonably well.
Does the use of a "formal" packaging system such as RPM or DEB change this? No, it just makes it different.
So, in closing, in my opinion, it's a draw!
(If any sysadmin counts the six extra characters in /usr/local as an impediment to their job, they should be hanging it up right now. I question if any decent sysadmin can even measure the difference in time between typing /opt and typing /usr/local it is so small.)
Thanks for all the conversations!
