Exit Taylor
The former Liberian leader is going to jail for war crimes. But he leaves behind a host of unanswered questions.
- By Johnny Dwyer<p> Johnny Dwyer is a reporter and the author of American Warlord, a forthcoming book about Charles Taylor, his American son Chucky Taylor, and the first U.S. prosecution under the federal anti-torture statute. </p> <p> ProPublica is an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative reporting. </p> <p> </p>
One afternoon, just before he took a job as a state judge in 1990, federal prosecutor Richard G. Stearns was clearing out his desk at the U.S. Attorney's office in Boston when he came across an old piece of evidence: the wallet belonging to Charles Taylor, a young Liberian bureaucrat he had attempted to extradite back to his homeland in 1985.
"He was a reasonably educated and polished in his own way," Stearns recalled. "But I did not honestly see him at that time as what he became, which was bloodthirsty."
Taylor was educated at Bentley College in Waltham, Massachusetts before returning home to serve in the government of brutal dictator Samuel Doe. After falling out of favor with Doe, Taylor returned to the United States, where he was arrested in 1984 on embezzlement charges. Famously, however, he escaped from a jail in Plymouth before he could be extradited, emerged a short time later as a warlord in the Liberian bush, and fought his way toward the presidency of his country, building a political career through a succession of humanitarian catastrophes in West Africa.
The Taylor case remained a dangling thread for Stearns. Until Thursday.
Stearns — now a federal judge in Massachusetts — heard, along with rapt audiences in Freetown, Monrovia, and in the gallery at the Special Court for Sierra Leone at The Hague, what may be the final word on the former Liberian president's career: Taylor was found guilty on 11 counts of aiding and abetting Sierra Leonean rebels in crimes including the murder, rape, and conscription of child soldiers during that country's 1990s civil war.
Yet, for all the finality of the decision, questions linger. Was justice served in his trial? Did the proceedings clarify or further obscure Taylor's myth? And what impact, if any, will the court's decision have of on the future of Liberia?
Both Taylor's enemies and supporters, of whom many are still in influential political position in Monrovia, criticize the Special Court for holding Taylor to account for crimes related to Sierra Leone, rather than the civil war he launched in Liberia. As Taylor's former Defense Minister Tom Woewiyu said in an interview this week, "Those who are trying Taylor for Sierra Leone, they're more or less saying to what he did in Liberia, to hell with the Liberians."
Woewiyu said the nature of the court's indictment of the president while he was still in power in 2003 prompted questions over whether the international community — the United States and Britain in particular — were using the court as a means to remove him from office. The Special Court was intended to be an organ of international justice, not a cudgel of Western policies. But many of those involved, including Taylor himself, saw it as just that.
Before this week's verdict, Woewiyu said he received a call from Taylor at The Hague.
"Oh, Tom. I should've listened to you many years ago," Taylor told him.
"I always used to tell him this parable about when the elephant tells you to do something, you don't look at the elephant and say 'no.' Because the elephant is the most powerful animal on the face of the Earth," said Woewiyu, who now lives in Pennsylvania. "America is the elephant of the world today." Taylor told Woewiyu he believes his unwillingness to open up offshore oil development to U.S. companies led to his prosecution, a theory one former U.S. Embassy official described to me as "a crock of shit."
Documents received through a Freedom of Information request show that as early as December 2000, the State Department sought information "to weaken and discredit the Taylor regime internationally" as part of a "long-term campaign" to be waged at the United Nations. The court was created by a joint U.N.-Sierra Leone agreement in 2002.
Taylor supporters have consistently decried the U.S. influence over the Special Court for Sierra Leone. Two Americans — prosecutor, David M. Crane, and chief investigator, Alan White — launched the case for the tribunal and indicted Taylor in 2003.
In the end, those closest to Taylor provided the most damning evidence for the prosecution. "I was fortunate enough to be able to flip some people very quickly that were insiders that took me straight to the top and could lay things out," White told me this week. "Once that happened it quickly became what Taylor was about, what his role was."
Following Taylor's arrest and indictment, the State Department, through actions at the United Nations and active fundraising for the tribunal, continued to play an outside role in the proceedings. U.S. diplomats were briefed on Taylor's finances and the quotidian details of his incarceration — from his diet to his phone allowance to the number of visitors he received — at the ICC detention unit. There, Taylor had struck up a friendship with fellow detainee, Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga, who was convicted in March.
"The two detainees are apparently getting along well," an August 2006 cable noted.
Even during his incarceration, Taylor inspired fear — particularly among prosecution witnesses. One prosecutor told an American diplomat that "he was surprised that someone had not been killed yet" in March 2008.
Despite the active involvement of Western powers in the operations of the tribunal, the Special Court fought the impression that Taylor was facing U.S. and European justice for African crimes. But after WikiLeaked State Department cables showed that the U.S. had considered the possibility of trying Taylor in the United States if the Special Court failed to convict him, Taylor's counsel attempted to use to reopen the defense's case based on "grave doubts about the independence and impartiality of the Special Court's prosecution of Charles Taylor." The court dismissed the motion, but there's enough evidence of U.S. interest throughout the case that many Liberians may share Taylor's doubts about the tribunal's independence.
Others worry that with Taylor's conviction, those who were complicit in crimes during the period of his rule will be let off the hook.
"For Taylor, justice was served, but for Liberia and, actually, for Sierra Leone, there are more people that need to come down," said Robert Ferguson, a former operations coordinator for the Defense Attache at the U.S. Embassy in Monrovia from 2001 to 2003, citing Taylor associates who remain in power in Liberia.
Liberia, unlike Sierra Leone, has made no efforts to hold perpetrators from the nation's 14-year civil war to account. A Truth and Reconciliation process established by the Liberian government is now moribund. After the commission issued its findings in 2009 — including the recommendation that Sirleaf be barred from office for 30 years for her part in supporting Taylor while he was a guerrilla fighter — nothing has happened.
In fact, just two weeks before the Taylor verdict, Sirleaf named one those implicated as a chief perpetrators of human rights crimes during Liberia's civil war — Alhaji Kromah — ambassador-at-large for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Last month, a U.S. judge deported another alleged chief perpetrator — George Boley — from Rochester, New York to Liberia for suspected role in war crimes. Neither he nor any other faction leader, including Charles Taylor, has been charged with any crime in Liberia.
"They're not going down the justice route, that's obvious," Stephen J. Rapp, the U.S. State Department's ambassador-at-large for war crimes issues, said of the Liberian government. "It still has to work through this process because obviously people involved in the crimes other than Charles Taylor still have to answer for those crimes."
To critics, the long, expensive trial, which at times bordered on theater of the absurd — such as a 2010 cameo by supermodel Naomi Campbell — meandered from the intended purpose of justice and reconciliation for the people of Sierra Leone.
"The process was outlandish. All the years that it took and all of the money that was spent, I think there must be a better method," said Herman J. Cohen, a former ambassador and assistant secretary of state for Africa during the first Bush administration.
Cohen was among the first U.S. diplomats to meet Taylor when he was fighting to depose Samuel K. Doe in the early 1990s. Later, following the leader's election as president in 1997, he counted Taylor as a client of his lobbying firm, Cohen and Woods.
The tribunal, which ran from June 2008 until November 2010, cost American taxpayers $81 million, according to U.S. officials. It also provided Taylor a platform to rewrite his own biography. Over five and half months, the former president retraced the narrative of his political career from his jailbreak in Plymouth to training in the Libyan desert with Muammar al-Qaddafi's sponsorship through the Liberian civil war and his rise and fall as president.
Taylor also used his testimony to promote the persistent rumors of his connections to intelligence services, including the CIA, whom he claims engineered his escape from jail. (The Plymouth House of Corrections, a chronically overcrowded and out-of-date facility, had suffered a series of escapes prior to Taylor's.)
The reports of Taylor's alleged CIA connections continued to draw scrutiny. In January, the Boston Globe pulled back from a front-page story that had suggested that Taylor was a U.S. intelligence asset during his rise to power.
For now, there's not much evidence to substantiate the story. Cohen, who served as the head of the Bureau of African Affairs until 1993, said "I've seen no evidence that the CIA was in liaison with him — in fact the only one who was really a liaison with him [from 1990-93] was me."
Nor was Taylor working for the Defense Intelligence Agency, according to Robert Ferguson, who worked under two defense attaches in Monrovia: "He was not a DIA asset. Period."
These may turn out to be questions for historians rather than prosecutors. Judging by the muted reaction the verdict received in Monrovia, it seems that Liberians aren't particularly interested in delving into the remaining mysteries of the Taylor era.
"Even the Barcelona and Chelsea game had more excitement than this," a former Taylor commander and current intelligence official told me. "The country has outgrown this guy. The country wants to develop. Everyone wants to get their life back in order."

ALGIERS, Algeria — Heavily outnumbered by riot police, thousands of Algerians defied government warnings and dodged barricades to rally in their capital Saturday, demanding democratic reforms a day after mass protests toppled Egypt's autocratic ruler.Protesters chanting ''No to the police state!'' and brandishing signs that read ''Give us back our Algeria'' clashed with baton-wielding police in helmets and visors. Organizers said more than 400 people were briefly detained, but aside from some jostling between police and protesters no violence was reported. The opposition said demonstrators' bold defiance of a long-standing ban on public protests in Algiers marked a turning point. At least 18 killed in Taliban raid KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Taliban insurgents wearing explosive vests attacked a police headquarters in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, unleashing an arsenal of car bombs, automatic rifle fire and rocket-propelled grenades. At least 18 people, many of them police, died and dozens were wounded. The afternoon raid on the provincial police base in Kandahar appeared to be an effort to undercut NATO assertions that the security situation had improved since last year's influx of U.S. and Afghan troops into Kandahar province, the Taliban's birthplace. The Islamic militant movement claimed responsibility for the attack, which came amid American-backed efforts to train Afghan forces so that they can take responsibility for national security by a 2014 deadline. Bomber strikes Shiite pilgrims BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber blew himself up Saturday on a bus carrying Shiite pilgrims, officials said, killing 26 people headed back from a revered shrine that has been a flashpoint in Iraqi sectarian strife. It was the second attack in three days targeting visitors to the al-Askari mosque in the former insurgent stronghold of Samarra, north of Baghdad, for commemorations of the death of a ninth century religious figure who is buried there. Witness Kamil Mamdoh described mayhem, with police shooting into the air to disperse the hysterical crowd. The shrine is still being rebuilt after its golden dome was destroyed in a Feb. 22, 2006, bombing that was blamed on al-Qaida in Iraq and sparked years of retaliatory bloodshed between Sunnis and Shiites. Officials said the mosque was not damaged in Saturday's attack.

Living Organs & Dying BodiesOrgan donation presents a conflict for many Buddhists. On the one hand, we strive to attain the bodhisattva ideal of compassionate action whenever possible. Nine people die in this country every day waiting in vain for donors. On the other hand, according to some Buddhist teachings, death comes when the consciousness leaves the body, not with the last breath, and it is generally believed that the circumstances of clinical death and the period following it, before the consciousness is released, are critical in helping to determine one's rebirth. According to that view, it is best not to cut into the body for three days following clinical death or risk disturbing the process. More »

I hung these from existing anchors in the ceiling of my loft. I use them for a variety of things. Pull-ups, basic stretching, whatever. They are basic and solid. The block itself is a bit on the large side though. I have big hands, so it works, but I think I would even prefer to have them be slightly smaller.
I think the point of this product is to build strength for slopers so big is good in this case imo

Principal Correspondent
KOLKATA: Top seeded Benjamin Balleret of Monaco and second seeded Adam Kellner of Hungary won lopsided semifinals to storm into the final of the Oil India ITF men's futures here on Friday.
Balleret ended the challenge of fourth seeded Patrick Taubert of Germany with an easy 6-1, 6-2, while Kellner saw off third seeded Hsin-Han Lee of Chinese Taipei with a 6-1, 6-1 scoreline.
Balleret, looking to pick up full points to bolster his international ranking, started off in the right track by breaking Taubert in the very first game.
Fraught with mistakes
The German faltered with his service, which were riddled with double faults, and also committed many unforced errors. Taking full advantage, Balleret broke a tentative Taubert again in the fifth and seventh games to wrap up the Set.
Balleret played consistently well in the second set and broke Taubert in the second and eighth games to wrap up the match in just under an hour.
Kellner was even swifter in getting his win, which he completed in just 46 minutes. Third seeded Lee could hardly adjust to the pace of the clay court and lapsed into repeated errors, making the task easier for Kellner.
Quick demolition
Kellner, who ran up a 4-0 lead in the first set by breaking Lee twice and wrapped it up for the loss of just a game, continued his dominance to repeat the scoreline in the second.
The doubles title was claimed by the Chinese Taipei pair of I-Ta Chen & Hsin-Han Lee, which beat the combination of Balleret and India's Rohan Gajjar in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
The results:
Singles: Semifinals: Benjamin Balleret (Mon) bt Patrick Taubert (Ger) 6-1, 6-2; Adam Kellner (Hun) bt Hsin-Han Lee 6-1, 6-1.
Doubles: Final: I-Ta Chen & Hsin-Han Lee (Tpe) bt Benjamin Balleret (Ger) & Rohan Gajjar (Ind) 6-4, 6-4.

Win an Autographed Jake Owen Summer Block Party Poster!
Jake Owen is itching to release his new 'Days of Gold' album.
Jake Owen is itching to release his new 'Days of Gold' album.
Jake Owen's title track 'Days of Gold' off his forthcoming album of the same name is packed with whiskey and dirt roads, but that doesn't mean his entire record follows suit. In fact, the singer hopes to shake things up with a collection of songs that are less party-driven and full of meaning.
Summer may be over, but that didn't stop Jake Owen from bringing a little southern summer to 'Conan' Tuesday night (Oct. 15), where he peformed his latest single, 'Days of Gold.' Owen's upbeat performance accompanied by a full band brought the southern party anthem to life on Conan O'Brien's home stage.
Jake Owen will release his new album 'Days of Gold' on Dec. 3. The singer, known for his adventurous lifestyle, shared the tracklisting for the record via a photo on Facebook. But in typical Jake Owen fashion, he did things a little differently.
Beginning today, Taste of Country and The Boot readers are able to score advance tickets to Country Jam 2014 in Grand Junction, Colo. The June 19-22 country music and camping festival will feature headliners Lady Antebellum, Jake Owen and -- just confirmed -- Eric Church!
It's always great to see country artists teaming up with causes they believe in, and for rising star Jake Owen, the birth of his daughter Pearl gives him more than enough incentive to team up with Saint Thomas Health for the annual Rock the Cradle charity event.
Jake Owen's hand injury is just the latest in a growing list of his injuries occurring during recreational activity that some may label as extreme. Before his block party celebration to commemorate his fourth straight No. 1 single, Owen said he doesn't plan to reign in his adventuresome ways, no matter who asks him to.

First Section of Canada's Commercial Seal Hunt Closes – Over 17,200 Seals Killed in Just Over Two Days
Observers with IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare – www.ifaw.org) have just returned after witnessing the slaughter of harp seal pups during this year's commercial seal hunt.
"We witnessed today a classic example of the cruelty associated with this hunt. An injured, bleeding seal escaped into the water before a sealer could get to it. The sealer tried to pull the seal out by the hind flippers but it slipped underwater anyway," said
"I'm confident we will gather enough footage to provide European policy makers with the cold hard facts about
Recent economic evaluations have indicated that the market for seal fur is saturated, causing prices to drop by almost half. Processors report that sales of seal pelts all but stopped at the end of 2007, and in early 2009, still do not appear to have recovered.
This hunt for harp seal pups is the largest hunt for a marine mammal in the world, with this year's commercial total allowable catch limit set at an unsustainable 280,000 seals.

This study is investigating the way the lung is damaged in a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. Research studies will be conducted on lung tissue obtained from an open lung biopsy performed by the subject's surgeon. The identification of unique genetic markers of scarred lung may ultimately lead to new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Subjects are being asked to participate in a research study that is investigating the way the lung is damaged in a condition called pulmonary fibrosis. These research studies are conducted in the laboratory on a portion of the tissue from the subject's lung biopsy that was performed by a surgeon. The lung biopsy is to be performed for clinical purposes to diagnose the cause of the subject's lung disease. The tissue used for the research study will in no way interfere with the ability of the pathologist to establish a diagnosis. In addition, the results of your breathing tests, chest X-rays and CT scans, and diagnosis made from the lung biopsy (and slides) will be collected. The goal of the study is to gain an understanding of the causes of pulmonary fibrosis and why it gets worse, which may ultimately lead to new therapies for this disease. Once the lung biopsies are obtained, the pathologist will examine the tissue and determine if there is a sufficient amount available to use in the study without compromising their ability to make a diagnosis. If so, the lung biopsy will be divided. One portion will be submitted to the research study and the other processed by the pathologist in the usual manner to make a diagnosis. The decision to use tissue for the research study will be at the complete discretion of the pathologists. The tissue used in the study will be further processed in the laboratory in order to analyze for the presence of genetic markers in the scarred tissue that are not present in normal. The identification of these unique genetic markers of scarred lung may ultimately lead to new approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis.

Oil-Free Compressors Clear the Air for Rapid Product Proliferation, Finds Frost & Sullivan
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Feb. 19 /PRNewswire/ — The rising environmental consciousness of governments have set off a spate of regulations for ensuring improved air quality, which has given a shot in the arm for the oil-free compressors market. End-user industries are scurrying to equip their machines with oil-free compressors to ensure compliance with industry standards, chief among which are the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 8573-1 CLASS 0 (2001) certification, which specifies oil concentration level in compressed air, and the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) management system.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081117/FSLOGO)
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.industrialautomation.frost.com), North American Oil-Free Compressors Markets, finds that the market earned revenues of $378.0 million in 2008 and estimates this to reach $455.1 million in 2015.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure for this study, please send an e-mail to Sarah Saatzer, Corporate Communications, at firstname.lastname@example.com, with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, company e-mail address, company website, city, state and country.
It is becoming increasingly critical to use clean compressed air, as end users in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries will testify. These industries have faced lawsuits relating to low-quality products caused by air containing oil particles.
Meanwhile, in textiles and electronics, air containing oil particles can result in high rejection rates and returns, costly production downtime, and cleanup. Oil-free compressors eliminate these hassles, as their components – filter cartridges, desiccant material, and rubber elements – remain clean and oil-free. This is a huge environmental benefit, as the compressor does away with the need to deal with waste oil.
In industries where air quality requirements are not stringent, end users that are strapped for funds prefer oil-flooded compressors fitted with pre- and post-filters, as they help to achieve oil-free air with smaller initial investments.
"Even though oil-flooded compressors are offered at a lower price, they tend to carry hidden costs such as the disposal cost of waste oil, which is not incurred by oil-free compressors," says Frost & Sullivan Senior Research Analyst Anand M Gnanamoorthy. "In spite of these costs accounting for a small percentage of the total cost, they are often overlooked when calculating the total cost of ownership (TCO)."
The suppliers of oil-free compressors need to educate end users about these hidden costs and the ways in which their high-investment product can reduce the TCO through higher energy savings and better waste management.
Better marketing strategies and growing consumer awareness are likely to boost the oil-free compressors market in the long term. End users need better air quality and reliability, and lower installation and maintenance costs, which make oil-free compressors the compressor of choice among end users in life sciences and process industries.
Their preference for an end-to-end solution provider drives market participants to be more customer-centric in their approach, which, in turn, hikes sales.
"The economic revival and pent-up demand for the product will further accelerate the growth of the market in the short term," notes Gnanamoorthy.
North American Oil-Free Compressors Markets is part of the Industrial Automation & Process Control Growth Partnership Services program, which also includes research in the following markets: European Oil-free Compressors Market, APAC Oil-free Compressors Market, Chinese Compressors Markets, and North American Compressors Markets. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

GREENVILLE, S.C., Aug. 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eRAD, a division of RadNet, Inc., announced today that Radiology Group of Paducah has installed eRAD's uniRAD solution to provide a consolidated imaging workflow from various disparate PACS systems across western Kentucky.
Radiology Group of Paducah's (RGP) 13 radiologists provide diagnostic reading services for multiple imaging providers, each utilizing a unique PACS system or image distribution solution. RGP chose eRAD's uniRAD for its ability to organize studies from various providers into workflows that accommodate each radiologist individually.
"We needed a solution that would allow us to focus on patient care instead of wrestling with technology," states Vernon Duncan, MD, President of RGP. "After deploying eRAD, we have a more well-defined and efficient workflow for our radiologists. We no longer have to learn and troubleshoot multiple PACS interfaces. Our promise to our clients is to provide accurate and timely imaging reports. eRAD's unique architecture facilitates that for us."John Placho of Bimini Platinum Care, an eRAD value-added reseller, adds, "eRAD offers a very intuitive user interface that allows the user to simply define the desired workflow and let uniRAD's rules-driven workflow engine do the rest." "eRAD's core focus has always been on consolidating complex, disparate PACS and image distribution environments into one coherent workflow. With an eRAD solution in place, imaging providers and radiology groups like RGP no longer have to bend to the differences and limitations inherent in a multi-PACS environment," says Seth Koeppel, eRAD VP of Sales.

I have lived in Bridge Mill for 4 months now and I have had more problems than I can count. I basically have to harass the office and call 5 or 6 times to get my problems fixed. I still have 2 issues they have came and "fixed" four times, but they still aren't working correctly. I was promised new wood in the kitchen prior to moving in since there is mildew everywhere are the wooden cabinets are warped. This IS a health risk and nobody should live under these conditions. I haven't had cold water in my master bathroom since I moved in (which I have given up on) and within 2 days of living here, both handles broke. In 4 months, by washer connection has exploded twice, finally the maintenance man that came the second time was so great, he alone kept me from flipping out and breaking my lease.
I don't have a problem with safety (yet anyway) I live in a back apartment and people are always walking through here and even DRIVING (which I was told by the office women that it was okay and they were letting them do this), which is unsafe and trashy. But in general I have been friendly to people around me and they are friendly (as far as neighbors) and that makes me feel safer.
The rent of good, but should should be reduced a few hundred dollars since the conditions are that of a leaky, abandoned, run-down shack. Plus on their utility bill, they charge you 15.00 as "general electric" when you pay your own electric bill through GA Power.... Right.
I didn't have a bug problem until the people above me left, but now, they are all here and a part of the family since the bug man can't seem to get rid of them (which we also pay for every month in our "utility bill".
Overall, it will do for the next 7 months until we are out of here.

Seeing that last nights lineup was what most posters on this board want to see (excluding the fact that Clayton was in the lineup at all), would you still put that same lineup tonight?
Seeing that last nights lineup was what most posters on this board want to see (excluding the fact that Clayton was in the lineup at all), would you still put that same lineup tonight?
No, that lineup should never be used again. Its bad luck.
Championships for MY teams in my lifetime:
Cincinnati Reds - 75, 76, 90
Chicago Blackhawks - 10, 13
University of Kentucky - 78, 96, 98, 12
Chicago Bulls - 91, 92, 93, 96, 97, 98
Same lineup. Even though Clayton had a couple hits, I still go with Castro instead.
Ross will probably be catching instead of Valentin.
Eric Stratton, Rush Chairman. Damn glad to meet ya.
Seeing as how a SS change is impossible, just sub Ross for Valentin and use it again.
Throw that out there every night from here on out, and the Reds win more than they lose.
Won't happen.

On Crazy Fish (Crealock 37, Hull 207) the water tanks are under the quarterberth and up forward under the main berth. Under the main berth there is also an open locker adjacent to the seat and the holding tank adjacent to the head bulkhead. It was an option to use the open locker under the main berth as additional fuel storage.
Under the port setee is storage but I could see how that space could have been used as water storage with no mods to the interior mold.
Leaks in the water tanks are commonly due to the seal between the PVC lid on the built in fiberglass tanks. The inspection port on tanks will also leak at times. I always monitor fhe filling of my tanks when using normal city water via a hose. When the tank is full or close to full I pull the hose. If I let the water continue to run I will get some leakage. The PVC lids leaked from the beginning - I think the switch from plywood lids to PVC lids happen just before Crazy Fish was built. The tank lids were removed and resealed using a process faxed to me by Robin from the Fullerton Pacific Seacraft days.
I am currently having a lot of fun replacing all of the fresh water hose on the boat. The original hose was getting quite sticky to the touch. Had to remove the fuel tank in order to get access to the 4 hoses running from beneath the galley sink forward to the head and the forward water tank.

Rick Stansbury, the 2004 Associated Press SEC Coach of the Year, all-time coaching wins leader at Mississippi State and ninth-winningest coach in the history of the SEC, enters his second year on the Texas A&M basketball staff.
"Rick has made a huge impact on our program in a very short time," head coach Billy Kennedy said. "His experience in coaching, recruiting and all areas has been a huge benefit. There were several opportunities that presented themselves to Rick recently, and I'm very pleased he's made the commitment to our program to stay with us."
No stranger to winning in the SEC, Stansbury, 54, spent 22 seasons at Mississippi State, the last 14 as head coach (1999-2012) compiling a 293-166 (.638) record while guiding the Bulldogs to the postseason 11 times, including six NCAA appearances. His 293 wins are the most all-time among MSU floor generals while also ranking ninth in SEC men's basketball history.
"I'm excited to be a part of Coach Kennedy's staff," Stansbury said. "I've known Billy for a long time, he's a terrific coach and even better person. I look forward to helping him and his staff in any way I can."
During the final 12 seasons of Stansbury's tenure in Starkville, Mississippi State won more games than any other SEC program except Kentucky and Florida. Additionally, the Bulldogs averaged 21 wins per season, won 20 or more games in 10 seasons and claimed the 2004 SEC regular season championship and five SEC West Division titles, with Stansbury earning 2004 SEC Coach of the Year honors from the Associated Press.
Recognized as an outstanding recruiter, Stansbury and staff brought five different top-20 recruiting classes to Starkville during a nine-year period from 2003-11. MSU's 2005 class was regarded by rivals.com as the sixth-best class nationally while scout.com ranked the group seventh. Additionally, his final signing class with the Bulldogs came in the spring of 2011 and was ranked 12th in the country by rivals.com.
"My wife and I discussed this opportunity at great lengths and wanted to make sure we were making the best decision for our family and our three boys," Stansbury added. "We feel like we've found the perfect fit here in College Station."
Postseason success was also commonplace under Stansbury's guidance as the Bulldogs reached the finals of the SEC Tournament four times while claiming the league's tournament title in 2002 and 2009. Under his watch, MSU claimed five NCAA Tournament victories and reached the NIT semifinals in 2007.
Mississippi State made five-consecutive postseason tournament appearances (2001-05) for the first time in school history, including a streak of four-straight NCAA Tournament berths from 2002-05. Prior to Stansbury taking over head coaching duties in 1998, the Bulldogs had totaled seven postseason tournament berths and eclipsed the 20-win mark just seven times in the school's 86 previous years of basketball competition.
Stansbury's 2001-02 Bulldog team established a new single-season standard with 27 victories, while claiming the school's second SEC Tournament title.
Seven Bulldogs earned All-America honors during Stansbury's 14-year stint as head coach with 23 All-SEC selections, including 11 first-team honorees. His teams also enjoyed success in the classroom as 42 student-athletes earned SEC Academic Honor Roll accolades.
Prior to taking the head coaching position in Starkville, Stansbury spent eight seasons an assistant under former Bulldog floor general Richard Williams. Highlighting his days as an MSU assistant, the Bulldogs exploded onto the national college basketball scene by advancing to the NCAA Sweet 16 in 1995 and then making the school's first appearance in the NCAA Final Four a year later in 1996.
Prior to joining the Mississippi State staff, Stansbury spent six seasons as an assistant at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee. Working alongside his good friend, former APSU head coach Lake Kelly, Stansbury was directly involved with a full scope of coaching responsibilities, including serving as recruiting coordinator.
During his time at APSU, the Governors recorded three consecutive winning campaigns, beginning with an Ohio Valley Conference Tournament championship and a subsequent NCAA Tournament second-round berth during the 1986-87 season. In Stansbury's six-year association with Austin Peay's roundball program, the Govs landed a total of seven players, including two tourney MVPs, on the OVC All-Tournament team over a four-year span.
A native of Battletown, Kentucky, Stansbury's 16-year career as an assistant basketball coach began at his alma mater during the 1981-82 campaign as he progress toward earning a double major in business and physical education from Campbellsville (Kentucky) College (now Campbellsville University).
Stansbury then served as a graduate assistant on coach Randy Vernon's staff at Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Ky. While earning his master's degree in business education, Stansbury helped direct the 1983-84 Indian club to a 31-5 mark and second-round appearance in the NAIA Tournament.
In 2003, Stansbury was honored by his alma mater as an inductee into the Campbellsville University Athletic Hall of Fame, along with former Tiger head football coach Sam Wickliffe. In October 1999, Stansbury was honored by the Campbellsville Alumni Association as a proud recipient of the school's Distinguished Alumni Award.
Stansbury is married to the former Meo Mellen of Roanoke, Va. They are the proud parents of three sons -- Isaac (14), Noah (12), and Luke (9).

Singapore Reits on foreign jaunts outperform as home market stutters
Published on May 9, 2014 3:51 PM
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Real estate investment trusts in Singapore with growing exposures overseas in places like China, Japan and Australia are bucking the trend of lower returns at home where the city-state's market has been slowing.
Known as S-Reits, the US$49 billion (S$61.1 billion) sector, Asia's second-largest after Japan, fared poorly in 2013.
Jitters about the end of the US Federal Reserve's stimulus programme and a series of moves by the Singaporean government to cool the property market raised concerns the trusts would lose their appeal to yield-hungry investors.
Those worries have not subsided, as evidenced by South Korea's Lotte Shopping's decision last week to postpone the listing of a US$1 billion trust in the city-state.

Credit coming for most electricity customers
How big a credit?
The bigger your typical bill, the bigger your credit.
An inland customer using 500 kilowatthours a month will get about $15 off of a bill that's usually $78, while a coastal customer using that much will get $25 off of an $86 bill.
But an inland customer using 1,000 megawatthours will get $137 off a bill that's about $220, while a coastal customer will get $149 taken off a bill of $231.
Customers who use less than 130 percent of their "baseline" allowance won't get a credit.
Sign up for lower SDG&E bills using just your phone
SDG&E CEO Knight vows to change culture
SDG&E buys more fire insurance — Sempra Energy also says profits up 12%, SDG&E up 7%
San Diego Gas & Electric will issue $120 million in credits to most of its customers next month because natural gas and electricity have cost less than expected this year.
The California Public Utilities Commission approved the refunds Thursday.
A combination of low gas prices and cooler weather caused SDG&E to overestimate how much electricity would cost this year.
"It's been a record cool summer for San Diego," said spokeswoman Stephanie Donovan.
As a result, SDG&E collected more money than it needed, even though it cut rates by $59 million in May to account for already low natural gas prices.
Cool weather not only means lower gas prices, but also lower wholesale electricity rices because inefficient "peaker" plants are not used as much.
The utility passes on the cost of buying or generating energy directly. It does not take a cut.
The rebate for lower energy prices comes a week after SDG&E proposed a 7 percent rate increase for its operations beginning in 2012.
About 60 percent of residential customers will get the rebates. The size of the credit on the September bill will be based on how much they spend.
For the last decade, state law has frozen rates for residents who keep their power usage below 130 percent of a so-called "baseline" allowance. Those customers did not overpay — their rates are subsidized by other customers.
They won't get a credit.
Last year, SDG&E refunded $124 million to customers in their October bills for the same reason.
But gas prices across the country have been lower than most people estimated, said Ken Medlock, who follows the industry as a professor at Rice University in Houston.
Natural gas production from shale deposits around the country has boomed, he said, and the recovery has been slower than many expected.
"This means we have higher supply and lower demand than anticipated, which has softened price," Medlock said.
Michael Shames, head of San Diego's UCAN, the Utility Consumers' Action Network, said SDG&E's rebate surprised him.
"Given how much natural gas prices dropped in the last year, $120 million in credits isn't as much as I would have expected," he said.
In the past, he said, SDG&E has used these rebates to temper the effects of simultaneous rate increases.

#1 Sharad Pawar keeps door ajar for Third Front
Expressing confidence that the UPA will retain power after the Lok Sabha elections, NCP chief Sharad Pawar today said he was not averse to the idea of cobbling together a government with the Third Front should the Centre's ruling alliance fall short of a majority. "There is no Third Front as on today. These type of situations develop after the elections and then some viable alternative does emerge," Pawar said.
#2 Rabia Baji: The woman challenging veteran Kashmir leader Farooq Abdullah from Srinagar seat
Rabia Altaf, aka Rabia Baji, 47, will be contesting her maiden election against the National Conference's (NC) Farooq Abdullah, the PDP's Tariq Hameed Qarra and 11 other candidates for Srinagar Parliamentary seat with a poll strength of 11,71,772.
#3 Is the development in Narendra Modi's Gujarat all virtual?
Modi talks loftily of his commitment to decentralisation. This is audacious, coming from a man who has centralised political decision making and reduced his cabinet and the state legislature to toothless entities. This is ironic, coming from a man who has turned his political party into a one man show.
#4 Likes of Giriraj Singh, Pravin Togadia contradict Narendra Modi's development pitch
With less than a month to go for the Lok Sabha elections to conclude and a possible Narendra Modi-led NDA government at the Centre, there is growing rhetoric from the Hindu right. While Modi is going around the country talking about the sins of the UPA government and the failure of the Indian National Congress in the last 65 years, his men and women are talking a different language.
#5 RSS pamphlet criticises UPA-II for 'appeasement of the minority'; appeals to Hindus to vote 100%
The Hindu nationalist group, Rashtriya Samajsevak Sangh (RSS) released pamphlets in Madhya Pradesh urging people to vote. The pamphlet, however, was decidedly in the vein of supporting the interests of the majority and criticises increasing appeasement of minority communities

'Spider Cat' scales two-story wall
A Scottish woman said her cat has become a local sensation for his ability to scale the two-story wall of her home when he becomes locked outside.
Hannah Smith of Denny, Scotland, said her 7-year-old feline, Charlie, has been nicknamed
Spider Cat by neighbors for his ability to use nothing but his claws and muscle to scale two stories of wall and reach the balcony of his owner's home, the Daily Mail reported Monday.
Charlie meows at the front door to be let out. So we let him out, but no sooner is he let out than he wants back in, Smith said.
But if no one hears him at the front door, he then wanders round to the back of the buildings to find the balcony. He then climbs up the balcony. So Charlie really goes out the front door and in the back door.
Smith said she chose Charlie as a kitten because he looked mischievous.
He's certainly lived up to his reputation, she said.
I think it is totally incredible how Charlie is able to climb up a rough-cast wall, Smith said.
I've seen cats climb trees but I've never seen a cat climb a wall. It's amazing.

Historic rock concerts put spotlight on poverty
By Claudia Parsons and Paul Majendie
PHILADELPHIA/LONDON (Reuters) – More than a million peoplegathered in cities across the world on Saturday for Live 8, thebiggest music concert ever held to pressure rich nations to domore for the poor.
As the gigs wound down, organizers turned their thoughts toWednesday when the leaders of the Group of Eight industrializednations meet in Scotland to discuss aid to Africa.
Live 8 coordinator Bob Geldof urged 200,000 fans inLondon's Hyde Park to demand "No more excuses" from the G8.
"Mahatma Gandhi freed a continent, Martin Luther King freeda people, Nelson Mandela freed a country. It does work. Theywill listen," Geldof said.
He was joined on stage by Paul McCartney, who opened theLondon gig with a rendition of "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely HeartsClub Band," Bono, Madonna, Elton John and a re-formed PinkFloyd.
Live 8 eclipsed Live Aid 20 years ago, when Geldof pulledoff a pop world sensation by gathering dozens of acts to raisemore than $100 million for Ethiopian famine victims.
This time he wants change through political pressure,calling for debt forgiveness, a doubling of aid to poor nationsand fair trade to allow African countries to compete.Organizers say up to 2 billion people will tune in to watch theconcerts.
The biggest crowd was in Philadelphia, where hundreds ofthousands saw actor Will Smith, P Diddy and Stevie Wonder.
But limited television coverage in the United States coulddampen the impact of such an impressive show of people power.
"America has a sense of disconnect when it comes to Africaor places that are very far away because many of us, most ofus, won't get the opportunity to see those places," said singerAlicia Keys.
Others, like former South African President Nelson Mandelaspeaking in Johannesburg, were determined to put pressure onrich countries.
"I say to all those leaders, do not look the other way. Donot hesitate. We ask our leaders to demonstrate commitment, notengage in hollow promises. It is within your power to avoid agenocide of humanity."
U2′s Bono summed up the message: "We're not asking you toput your hand in your pockets but we are asking people to puttheir fist in the air."
London's raucous crowd was silent when Geldof replayed LiveAid footage of dying Ethiopians. After freezing on the image ofa girl on the verge of death, the same person, a now healthyBirhan Woldu, was introduced on stage.
If the message was that Live Aid really did make adifference, not everyone was sure Live 8 could do the same.
"I don't think the awareness thing is working," said SueKim, a 22-year-old student, in Philadelphia. "There's going tobe a lot of drunk people and what are they going to remember?"
There is also concern within Africa that boosting aid tocountries may only bolster corrupt governments.
G8 leaders meet on July 6-8 near Edinburgh, where 200,000demonstrators marched peacefully through the city to back theMake Poverty History campaign.
Tokyo kicked off Live 8 with Icelandic star Bjork, whoexpressed the despair she felt in the face of Africa'sproblems.
"I look at the news, I see people starving, I am crying.I'm a total mess," she said.
Live 8 was also staged in the Circus Maximus in Rome andbefore a crowd of 150,000 in Berlin where most Germans felt itwas a good idea even if they had doubts about its impact.
Stonemason Bernd Oppermann said: "I think every littlething helps to raise awareness about poverty no matter howsmall, and hey, this is the greatest rock concert in theworld."
In Barrie, near Toronto, 35,000 people turned out for themusical feast, while France's concert boasted the Chateau deVersailles as its elegant backdrop.
The crowd in Moscow's Red Square was small, perhapsunsurprising in a country where more than a quarter of thepopulation lives below the poverty line.
And in Johannesburg, most of those interviewed among thecrowd of 10,000 had never even heard of Geldof.
He has been criticized for largely excluding Africanartists.
Musician Peter Gabriel stepped in with a separate, smallergig for African performers, and Johannesburg was added to thelist of venues, but that has not been enough to preventGeldof's detractors from accusing him of "cultural apartheid."(Reporting by Reuters bureaus)

The number of San Antonians who have solar powered homes has dramatically increased over the past five years.
We've gone from seven, eight installations five years ago to more than 500 now, said Lanny Sinkin, executive director of Solar San Antonio.
However, there are no solar communities even as builders make it an option as they construct new subdivisions.
Here in Texas it's a huge industry, said Chris Pitman, the foreman of Hill Country Ecopower. San Antonio is leading the fight to put solar panels up on top of roofs.
The two solar advocates believe this is an industry waiting to be fully embraced by consumers. Sinkin said what was formerly a rich man's amenity to cut energy costs has become an affordable option for more people. Locally, he credits a rebate offered by CPS Energy. There is also a tax incentive for making your home an alternative energy residence.
The green phenomenon may be moving a little faster than fire services can keep up with. The San Antonio Fire Department does not have a policy on the books to deal with such fires at homes with electrical panels. However, their records show they have not had to battle such a blaze.
According to statistics, structures fires caused by solar powered homes are rare. Yet, the rate of fires happening by any other means puts the energy efficient houses in the same category as a house without solar panels. Fire officials said the homes are not immune to regular blazes.
In San Antonio, fire fighting at such a house has not been a major consideration for firefighters because this is an exception and not a rule. Assistant fire Chief David Martinez said they are trained to look for hazards at all fires.
There are many, many hazards, he said.
Martinez said they are aware the solar panel homes or photovoltaic structures (PV) are energized with electricity. That means fire fighters know to stay away from them and treat them as a charged residence.
These new systems are going to require that first responders have a good sense of how to approach this with security in mind and safety in mind, said Pitman, who is also an emergency medical technician.
Structures that have solar panels can conduct 600 volts of direct current. According to a Colorado State University high voltage safety manual, a shock greater than 600 volts results in dangerous current levels including a chance of electrocution.
The standard in solar buildings is to have a clearly labeled disconnect switch to kill the flow of solar powered electricity into the house in case of fires and other instances. However, it's been discovered that doesn't stop all of the electricity.
There's still the flow of the panels down to that disconnect switch, Sinkin said.
He said there are areas in the country where they are considering a DC switch on the roof as a second measure of safety that would completely take the panels down. It would add an extra layer of security to fire fighters.
KENS 5's inquiry about tackling fires at solar panel structures prompted SAFD to research the issue with fire departments in Dallas, Houston and Austin. They say none of these departments have a policy or training on the books.
Because the number of solar homes is growing in the Alamo City, SAFD said they are adding their own layer of protection for fire fighters.
I'm going to get those addresses (of solar homes) and we're going to put those addresses into our computerated dispatch, Martinez said. When firefighters are responding they won't have to look on the roof.
He said the computer's notes will show which homes are solar powered.
