Middle East airlines restart services after six days of cancellations and delays due to the Iceland volcano ash cloud.
April 21, 2010 5:01 by Ben Flanagan
Middle East airlines have resumed flights to Europe, almost a week after a cloud of ash from an Icelandic volcano paralysed the air travel industry.
Etihad and Emirates, two of the region's largest carriers, both said that services had resumed, following the decision to reopen European airspace.
According to air traffic agency Eurocontrol, around 75 percent of European flights were due to operate on Wednesday. Airlines are now attempting to cope with the backlog from the cancellation of 95,000 flights.
Dubai's Emirates airline operated around 40 flights to Europe on Wednesday, but warned in a statement on its website that "the situation across Europe remains unpredictable and passengers are asked to be patient."
"Flights to and from Germany continue to experience disruption at the moment and may be cancelled or re-routed. Please check your flight status below before proceeding to the airport," the airline said in a statement posted on its website.
Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways said that, while the "situation in Europe and the UK remains unpredictable", the "majority of flights are now running again."
International air transport group IATA says the disruptions have cost the industry $1.7 billion.

The great benefit of forums like this is the wealth of experience that comes from the members. I originally started doing these workshops because I was getting emails from a lot of photography buffs that wanted to shoot glamour, swimsuit, etc but couldn't afford the hourly rates charged by "decent" models and couldn't get any good tfp/tfcd models.
I've been involved in a number of workshops including those friday-sunday weekend workshops with sponsorship from Kodak and lots of great instructors spending time to help photographers improve their craft - these workshops do not fit that mold. These particular workshops are more geared towards those photography buffs that, as Art said, want to shoot with 'purdy girls'. We spend 45 minutes to 1 hour on instruction and 4 hours on shooting because that what the people who come to these workshops/photoshoots prefer. I understand that the whole glamour/swimsuit market is not everyone's cup of tea and I respect that. If anyone is looking for a workshop more geared towards instruction, I would also recommend JT Smith's workshops, not mine.
I take all the comments that you guys have given me as constructive criticism because I do see the points you are trying to make. All I ask is that you also try to see mine, even if you don't particularly agree with it.

Showtime's David Nevins Elevated to President
Nevins, who has inked a new deal that will keep him at Showtime through 2018, will add oversight over Showtime Sports as well as the company's marketing, creative and digital media divisions.
David Nevins is moving up the corporate ladder.
The Showtime entertainment chief has been elevated to the newly-created role of president of Showtime Networks, and has signed a new deal that will keep him with the company through 2018. As part of the new pact, he'll add oversight over Showtime Sports as well as the company's marketing, creative and digital media divisions. Nevins will continue to report to CEO Matthew Blank, who is based in New York.
The news comes after a particularly strong first three and a half years on the job, having greenlighted Emmy winner Homeland as well as House of Lies, Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex. Each of the series have garnered critical and commercial success, enabling Nevins to tout his newer series as Showtime's strongest. In addition to his broad swath of programming responsibilities, he will remain the liaison to CBS Corporation's international and domestic distribution groups.
COVER STORY: The Re-Rebirth of Showtime
"David Nevins is one of the most talented executives working in television today," said Blank, adding: "His arrival at Showtime was followed by an incredible period of renewal for our Network, and these transformative years have led to critical-acclaim, consistent buzz, subscriber growth and awards recognition."
STORY: Showtime's David Nevins Talks Philip Seymour Hoffman, Hunt for a Comedy Hit
Since Nevins' arrival in 2010, Showtime has added 5 million subscribers, which has resulted in consistent growth in revenue, and broadened the network's reach. In that time frame, the premium cable network also has amassed 99 Emmy Award nominations and 22 wins, and re-established itself as a culturally relevant destination for documentary filmmakers. Among his docs: The World According to Dick Cheney, Time of Death and the forthcoming doc-series Years of Living Dangerously.
When Nevins joined Showtime, he did so with big shoes to fill. His predecessor, Bob Greenblatt, had put the cable network on the map, with a suite of critically acclaimed programs including Nurse Jackie, United States of Tara and Weeds. Nevins brought with him a resume that included stints as president of Imagine Television from 2002 to 2010, during which time he produced Friday Night Lights, 24 and Arrested Development, and as executive VP of programming at Fox and senior VP primetime series at NBC.

Schodeberg Waives Preliminary Hearing In Crash Death Case
A Sparta man arrested for a fatal 2009 crash that killed his older brother waived a preliminary hearing in Monroe County this morning. 26 year old Jason Schodeberg is in the Monroe County Jail on a charge of homicide by negligent operation of a motor vehicle.
Schodeberg denied being the driver in the July 26 single vehicle crash that killed his 30 year old brother, Glenn Schodeberg, on Hwy. 33 in Cashton.
Police accuse Schodeberg of running away after the crash, while his brother was pinned beneath the car. DNA results from airbags revealed that Schodeberg was the driver, and a crash reconstruction and witnesses who came forward this year helped corroborate the evidence. A future court dare has not yet been set.

County Mental Health Office Ponders Name Change
In these days of business consolidations, one company can sometimes make a wide variety of unrelated products.
The same is true with government agencies. In La Crosse County, services for children with physical disabilities and for people with substance abuse problems are provided by a mental health department. Agency head Matt Strittmater says the long-time name of his office...Mental Health Recovery Services...doesn't quite fit any more.
So the M-H-R-S board is doing a study to come up with a more suitable agency name. Strittmater says a decision could be made by the end of March.

Taking into account this cultural context, becoming vegan does require us to step outside of the current paradigm. Becoming vegan means renouncing one's personal stake in the most widespread and socially accepted injustice of our time, and to do this, we have to be willing to see nonhuman slavery for what it is. That kind of honesty requires some candid reflection, and as a result, it's possible that some new vegans will experience a sense of alienation from others, including one's own family and friends, and possibly even society as a whole.
I believe it is this experience that often leads vegans to question their resolve, and in some cases, even go back on their commitment to nonviolence, in favor of greater assimilation within society. Because of the intense social pressure against vegan living, I think it's extremely important that people who are moved by the values of veganism be clear from the outset as to which is more important to them: living according to their own highest ideals, or being easily accepted by a larger social group that does not share those ideals? To a growing number of people, there is no question which matters more, but to many, it can make the difference between maintaining one's commitment and 'falling off the wagon'.
But this does not need to be the case. Rather than seeking acceptance by abandoning the practical application of one's moral principles, there are ways to find the sense of community we all need, by reaching out to other people who share our ideals.
As our collective awareness and understanding about the intrinsic rights of animals grows, the vegan community is expanding all over the world. In many urban locations, there are groups who meet for potlucks and social events, especially on occasions such as Thanksgiving, when many are seeking an alternative to traditional gatherings which focus on the consumption of animal parts. Even for those who don't live near a city, the growing popularity of online venues is making it increasingly easy to reach others who have rejected their social conditioning in favor of a gentler, more peaceful way of life.

Whether you've been dating for a long while or just a short time, a personalized gift shows you've put a little extra care into selecting a just-right present for your boyfriend.
There are so many unique gifts to personalize these days. Not only can you tailor your message but you can target a gift for customizing that speaks to the personality of your boyfriend. Does he adore his dog? Create a custom neck tie with a picture of Fido. Does he fancy himself a rock star? Personalize a guitar pick with his name so no one can steal it when he's playing on tour (in the garage.)
Scotch, wine, beer, a round of tequila shots. Whatever drink of choice is his favorite, personalize his glass so it's always ready and waiting for him when happy hour starts. If he's a wine connoisseur customize a wine box with his name and special message and tuck his favorite vintage inside.
There's no need to shy away from the traditional personalized gifts for a boyfriend. An elegant pair of cuff links with his initials or a sterling silver picture frame containing a favorite picture of the two of you will always be a keepsake he will cherish.
Choosing to personalize a gift makes it one-of-a-kind…just like your boyfriend.

My COTH magazine is currently a "feel good" read for me on the weekend; the annual grooming and horse care issues have good content, but most other articles (not the press release updates at the beginning of the magazine) are horse show overviews and human interest stories. I would love to see some investigative journalism from COTH.
That's fairly interesting. 28 positives in 20K samples sounds insignificant but it's a healthy number. Even more interesting is that no horse got within even a 1/3 of the threshold.
If yer doping for performance, yer doing it wrong.
And if by some miracle, it was performance enhancing below the legal (in IL) 150ng/ml limit, I would think you would see more than 20 positives. Also if racing authorities deem it to not be performance enhancing (and I believe most states have allowed amounts) that lends some credibility to the idea that it really is not performance enhancing at that level. When you are dealing with the betting public, that sort of thing is taken seriously.
As for lying down with dogs and getting up with fleas. It's a drug test, not a moral fiber or good judgement in hiring practices test. Just a positive drug test, and I'm OK with that - it comes with penalties. They may be of poor moral character or have poor hiring practices or pick lousy friends, but it's a bit simplistic to get any of that from a drug test result.
From the outside looking in, my biggest issues with USEF seem to be the lack of transparency and consistency - it seems like that shows up in the types of penalties for repeat offenders or those that do get more stringent penalties. Maybe there is consistency in all this, but I don't think its explained well to the average member.
Perhaps I'm reading things from the quote that are not there. But here's what I find peculiar if anti-doping is to be controlled. Madden blames the HEARING COMMITTEE for following what seem to be very clear rules, as if they have the duty to make exceptions to the rules for important people with years of service to horse sports.
For rules to work and to appear fair, they have to be applied consistently across the board to BNs and LNs. Hearing officers and panels, especially volunteer ones, need to commended for sticking to the face of the rules instead of excoriated for not making exceptions that are not provided for in the rules. If the next level of authority is willing to make exceptions for whatever reason--equity or Big Enough Name--, that's where praise or blame should fall. But don't blame the Hearing Committee for doing its job.
As to the comment that he is not the person to divulge details, he might not be. But certainly the USEF IS. FEI transparency when cases come before its hearing panels means that the records are posted on its website. The USEF posted the hearing panel decision, but nothing to explain why the suspension was lifted. Perhaps they just didn't want the world to know why or even if. Perhaps they leave the panel decision up to make the public and their members believe that the USEF is being tough on dopers.
Behind the scenes maneuvering to protect Big Names just looks dirty, even if it isn't, and should be explained.
DMK nailed it in her last paragraph.
While I'm sure there is cocaine on some percent of currency the amount needed to produce a human positive drug test is below levels to produce positive drug tests.
All the tellers that worked at the bank I was employed at were drug tested on a regular basis. Never had a teller fail a drug test as a result of paper money contamination.
I think one of the issues in this case is the severity of the penalty and which set of rules it was ( or wasn't) applied under.
If the penalty was given under FEI rules the responsible person is the rider, not the trainer. And it seems that the selection trial was run under FEI sanction?
If it was a USEF National level jumper class then the trainer is the person responsible.
Looking back as far as 2008 the time of suspension, 24 months, is the longest I've seen for a drug or medication suspension.
In June of 2009 there was a fine and suspension of 1 month and
$3000 for a similar drug violation.
In June of 2007 two trainers were fined 2 months and $2000 for 'metabolites of cocaine'.
It seems the applied penalties are inconsistent.
Not saying there isn't a guility party in this story and I do resent the 'trust me' comments in the article,just saying the application of the process seems to have been incorrect regarding who was suspended and the penalty is way beyond anything that was previously given for a similar violation.
Apparently some members (John Madden) know what happened. The rest of the membership, I suppose, will not have the information provided to them and that is really too bad.
Over the years there have been reversals of suspensions. Rarely, but it does happen. I have never seen USEF publish details in the Rules/Suspensions sections regarding ANY reversal of fine/penalty.
To those expressing an interest in the Chronicle getting more in-depth in its pursuit of controversial topics, just know that we hear you.
The FEI is (IMO) in need of some big changes, but at least they do have transparency to their credit.
If they were serious about stopping the drugging of horses ,USEF would follow the FEI lead and at least try to have meaningful suspensions and penalties and have transparency, rather than the closed door method they seem to be using.
Then again, noting the reponse from USEF to the NYT article ,and their "let's give trainers a rulebook quiz" idea, in response to ponies dropping dead at the end of a needle at USEF sanctioned shows, I don't believe USEF is at all serious about dealing with the problem.
Problem with using previous US proceedings as precedent in this case is that the Rules Changed in December 2011. The FEI required all National Federations to run their FEI discipline competitions under FEI drug rules as far as sanctions, procedures, and drugs and their levels were concerned. They do not seem to have required the NFs to adopt their Person Responsible rule. The USEF did not, so in USEF national competitions in FEI disciplines, the trainer is still responsible, but the sanctions and procedures are supposed to be those in the FEI drug rules. That should mean that previous penalties are still precedents for everything but jumpers, eventers, dressagers, vaulters, reiners, drivers, and Para-dressagers.
Yes, but remember that the USEF negotiated an exception some time last year with the FEI for some part of the FEI Rules per the USEF vet at the USHJA convention. Molly66 says it was for sanctions. Both the USEF and the FEI ought to be asked about this.
Can't have stiff sanctions in the US for doping. They might actually work. :(
Bad COTH form to not read everything but I don't have time so will just jump in with a quick observation...
I my job of the last 25 years, working front line for an airline, I handle many personal items belong to members of the traveling public, bags coats, assist devices, electronic devices, trash, dirty food service items, used the bathroom right after them, sat in still warm seats after they left. Thats everybody from Juan and Manuel to Betty Braider to vets, farriers and quite a few leading riders as well as pro atheletes from a variety of other major sports. Even handled cash and credit cards from them.
About once a year I pee in a cup with NO advance notice at any time before, after or during my work day and it is a very specifically targeted and increasingly sensitive test for drug use. ANY presence in ANY amount results in immediate dismissal and possible charges up to the federal level.
I am still working.
Sooo...that incidental transferrence never washed with me.
To clarify, when I said "lie down with dogs" I wasn't intending to make a moral judgment on drug use. At all. Just saying, if the people who handle your horses have drugs all over their hands, are sloppy (peeing on the hay? washing hands in water buckets), or are using drugs around the horses, then it's an expected consequence that your horses are going to be exposed to that residue. If you have employees who don't use drugs or keep them away from the barn then you don't have that exposure. I don't really care what the people who handle my horses do in their spare time-- but I don't want them exposing my horses to cocaine!
Well John Madden's murky statement certainly did not advance the cause of "the good of the sport."
If anything, it dealt it a huge setback.
Maybe the NY Times will get to the bottom of it.
If you think just because you have never been informed of a positive test that means you never tested positive for cocaine, you might want to think again.
Quest publishes their standard guideline for testing and accepted cut off levels. There is a notable lack of "0's" on this list.
And Quest is about as big as it gets (globally) for lab testing, it's a fair bet that even if they have not done the testing, they either set or use the default standard for employee drug testing. You don't hear about anything that falls below the cutoff line, I suspect the testing lab doesn't even pass that information on, just information like "Fail/cocaine/metabolites of cocaine" due to privacy issues.
USEF rules do mention 12 months for a max drug penalty.
"subject to whatever penalty is assessed by the Hearing Committee, except for administrative penalties issued by the Chairman of the Equine Drugs and Medications Committee and accepted, as provided by GR412. Said trainer may be fined and may be suspended from all participation in Licensed Competitions for a period of one year for the first offense, and for a longer period for a second or later offense, said suspension to be served at any time at the discretion of the Hearing Committee".
Of course the rule does seem to make a distinction between Admin penalties and Hearing Committee penalties. Not seeing anything now or in prior rule books that indicate jumpers are liable for FEI testing rules at the National level.
In the case of the person being discussed I can't find any prior cases but I've only searched as far back as 2007.
As far as test results for a 'human' for metabolites of coke there is indeed a threshold. But if tellers who handle bills all day are below the level it's hard to believe that a 1000 ( or more ) horse would test positive for a secondary contamination from a person who is feeding and may have handled money prior to feeding. That's why I don't buy that defense.
Don't see anything in the rules that says that jumpers are subject to FEI rules at the non FEI level. If that was the case many older chldrens/adult jumpers get a little bute and they would be 'illegal' under FEI rules. Not seeing any penalties for that situation.
Stacking penalties, yes but not FEI type penalties for no meds allowed.
I agree and find the idea of contamination coming from traces on the hands to be a little farfetched. But assuming for the sake of argument... no I do not think people who handle living creatures should be so sloppy so as to have cocaine all over their hands and/or be using it close in proximity to when they handle the animals and/or have it on their person when handling animals such that it might contaminate the animals.
They'd lick it off their own darn hands before it got rubbed on the horse's gums.
Well...maybe after doing a couple huge rails, they sneezed the coke into Pookie's bran mash & decided it wasn't worth trying to hoover back up, but otherwise? I don't buy "accidental" exposure claims.

How far has Starfleet explored
View Single Post
March 6 2013, 02:31 PM
Re: How far has Starfleet explored
And in "The Alternative Factor" already, Starfleet could basically immediately report that the space-time hiccup at Kirk's location was felt "on every quadrant of the galaxy and far beyond".
How far has 24th century technology carried us?
Referring to the above, perhaps 23rd or even 22nd century technology already did the trick, by taking us to folks who already have contacts to other galaxies? That sounds like the most positive aspect of Star Trek imaginable: that while you can explore in good faith and with good intentions, you don't need to - you can also simply be nice to others and get what you want that way.
Do we have probes in other galaxies (although they are millions of lightyears away so maybe improbable)?
When Kirk probed out of the galaxy in "Where No Man", he seemed to consider it impossible that another Earth vessel could have done this before him - or at least 200 years before him. Then again, VOY "Friendship One" shows that in mere 150 or so years (and possibly much less), an Earth probe without a crew spanned half the galaxy already. So primitive probes launched then could be surveying the dwarf galaxies around Milky Way already in Picard's time - and slightly more advanced probes, the result of early cooperation and synergy between the member cultures of the UFP, could have overtaken them and be at least halfway to Andromeda already.
How far have we mapped out?
Individual sorties have probably spanned great distances. But those don't create much of a map yet: they only create a thin thread of known space between the A and B of that incredible journey. And the longer the journey, the less likely that the thread is anything but an uninteresting beeline from A to B (and back).
Since technology is so advanced, has Starfleet done away with deep space probes and just uses starships?
A modern probe is referred to in TNG "Tin Man" as having been the prime means of obtaining information from deep space. In the episode, a crewed starship could be sent to do a closer study in a matter of days - but apparently it would not have been logistically possible to spare a starship for the original mission of going to a random place and seeing whether there's anything interesting there.
Probably most of exploration in the TNG era is still conducted with probes, and crews only follow if there's something of interest there. Back in TOS, there might have been the additional step of establishing automated supply depots for staged missions (Delta Vega in "Where No Man) if the need to send a crew arose - much as with old-time polar exploration or mountaineering.
In hard numbers, TNG quoted either 11% (season 1, "Where No One") or 19% (season 2, "The Dauphin") of the galaxy as having been explored. This is unlikely to mean "seen through a telescope", because even our current telescopes of limited penetrating power can basically see something like 50% of the Milky Way already. Whether it means "visited by probes" or "visited by people associated with the UFP", we don't know. The percentages could be attained by going just a few thousand lightyears into deep space in multiple directions, though, so starship visits (not just by the glamorous few explorer vessels, but by the sum total of all sorts of transports, smugglers, fugitives and whatnot) just might account for it all.
Even the sudden jump from 11% to almost double that might be "real", consisting of some well-informed culture suddenly making contact with the Federation and sharing its information. Would any of the contacts made by our TNG heroes after "Where No One" count? The Ferengi seem well-traveled, but getting the information out of them would be expensive. The Jarada might be bigger players than we think. Or perhaps the Tkon Sentinel revealed something useful in the aftermath of "The Last Outpost". Them, or the Aldeans. (My money is on the Tkon; the Iconians would also be a possibility if not for the fact that "Contagion" only comes after "The Dauphin".)
I've always wondered if light speed isn't possible, then we're essentially stuck on Earth and the Solar System for the very forseeable future.
This shouldn't stop us from going places. It just stops us from ever coming back. But that has never stopped exploration and expansion here on Earth. Most migrations were irreversible, most voyages of settlement never involved sailing back. There's time for mankind to expand to the entire Milky Way a million times over at one-hundredth lightspeed - much like there has been time for Man to settle the entire globe at essentially crawling pace, at most ten kilometers a year by current guesstimates.

The Legendary, World-Class Sketchbook Extraordinaire {Username Change and Sketchbook}
Ew this is old, protect your retinas!
Go to my newer sketchbook, I'll postt the link sooon.
Hi, my name is Cristian. I'm 14.
So, I've been a lurker enough to know that if I want to grow artistically, this is the place. I've seen many an artist start off from nothing and end up amazing, so I figured I should get a headstart, and begin young.
I'm not here to be praised about how young and good I am ()
I'd like some decent comments or critiques on my art.
Here's my work...

Your 3/4 heads don't look 3/4. You should make studies of head in all directions. Learn to construct. Read a book.
Good luck, draw often, but keep on eye on your progress at school too! Very important.

Hey guys. Thanks for all the comments. Appreciate it.
This update just gonna be a short one. I've decided I haven't been doing enough digital work, so I working on my of my sketches, the underwater underwear with the breathing apparatus.
I'm actually doing the first one without lines , so it's new for me but I am learning tonnes of things. Tell me what you think
The last two are just some sketches, first is just some guy drinking some coffee. I plan to ink it later. The second is myself as a band member from the Panic at the Disco 'Nine in the Afternoon' video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCto3PCn8wo

March 26th, 2008 #8
You have some nice line quality and there are nice little touches and details on all of these, but you lack in other foundations like anatomy and general structure in the faces. Anyway you certainly got talent, but if you wanna improve fast you have to study more, thats anatomy, life drawings ect. Looking forward to what you do next!
March 29th, 2008 #9
I'll go along with what the others in here have said, anatomy general shape construction techniques and for my own personal touch, instead of smoothing out hard edged brushes in your paintings, try using a soft brush for blocking in and carve it back to where you want.

Heads and Underwater Underwear-Wearing Boys With No Tails
Some 3/4-ish head studies I did in consecutive days because Vigilandius said mine don't look very much like them. I learned quite a bit but still not the blend of realistic yet interesting style I'm aiming for.
Then the same picture that I'm STILL working on, after a taking a break then picking it back up after some encouragement from my friend, Robert. I'm actually liking how the helmet is turning out.
April 14th, 2008 #11
Good work CrissCross, there is certainly improvement in your face studies but try to abandon your style for a while (great that you've got one though!) and look at some books for help. Andrew Loomis is always a good start or William Maughan's The Artist's Complete Guide to Drawing the Head could give you some ideas how a head should look like, how to do realistic shading, proportions, etc.
You've got the idea - you do a good nose, fairly 3 dimensional - however, the rest of the head is flat and the eyes never seem to sit at the correct place.
It's a nice style you've got, however, I'd advise the same as the others: learn anatomy, do lots of life drawing (or use photo reference) and don't only draw from imagination. You have to learn first what things really look like before you can draw them without reference.
Keep up the good work!

Better Heads and FiascoFish
Hello, once again. I took JetLime's advice, as well as building on from Vigilandius' and Miles_'s previous advice and I'm still working on the construction of heads. I found some pages by Andrew Loomis, printed 'em off, and he's really helpful and straightforward for constructing head. I see now where I've been going wrong, and where I need to improve.
I've also been drawing from magazines and photos, but nothing worth posting. The idea of the man with the fish actually came from a picture of Lupe Fiasco which is why I named it FiascoFish....
That sounds like a good username as well.
Critiques please
April 26th, 2008 #13
It looks like you have some trouble drawing the nose in different positions. You should observe carefully its construction in every pose. You've got a great illustration style and good design and expression.

WNYA-TV, Pittsfield, MA, ID No. 136751
File No. BALCDT-20130307ABT
Dear Counsel:
This letter is in reference to the unopposed, above-captioned application (Application) to assign
the license of television station WNYA-TV, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, from Venture Technologies Group,
LLC (VTG) to WNYT-TV, LLC (WNYT) (collectively, the Applicants). WNYT is the current licensee
of WNYT(TV), Albany, New York, an affiliate of the NBC Television Network. Nielsen Media
Research (Nielsen) assigns both stations to the Albany-Schenectady-Troy, New York Designated Market
Area (DMA).
Section 73.3555(b)(2) of the Commission's rules1 permits common ownership of two full-power
television stations licensed in the same DMA, the Grade B contours of which overlap,2 provided that, at
the time the application to acquire the station(s) is filed: (1) at least one of the two stations is not ranked
among the top four stations in the DMA, based on the most recent all-day audience share; and (2) at least
eight independently owned and operating, full-power commercial and noncommercial television stations
would remain in the DMA after the merger. While WNYA-TV is not ranked among the top four stations
1 47 C.F.R. § 73.3555(b)(2).
2 Although the rule refers to Grade B contours, we note that, following the digital transition, the Commission has
developed the digital noise-limited contour to approximate the same probability of service as the analog Grade B
contour and that it has stated that the two are roughly equivalent. See 47 C.F.R. § 73.622(e); 2010 Quadrennial
Regulatory Review – Review of the Commission's Broadcast Ownership Rules and Other Rules Adopted Pursuant to
Section 202 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Notice of Inquiry, 25 FCC Rcd 6086, 6117 (2010). In this
instance, both the historic analog Grade B contours and the digital noise-limited contours of the stations overlap.
- 1 -
in the market, there are fewer than eight independent voices in the Albany DMA. WNYT and VTG
therefore request a waiver of the rule, pursuant to the "failing station" standard.3
Waiver Request. The Commission has defined a "failing station" as one that has been struggling
"for an extended period of time both in terms of its audience share and financial performance."4 The
criteria for a "failing station" waiver of the television duopoly rule are:5
1. One of the merging stations has an all-day audience share of no more than four per cent;
2. The station has had a negative cash flow for the previous three years;
3. The merger would produce tangible and verifiable public interest benefits. "A waiver will be
granted where the applicant demonstrates that the tangible and verifiable public interest
benefits of the merger outweigh any harm to competition and diversity;" and
4. The in-market buyer is the only reasonably available candidate willing and able to acquire
and operate the station, and selling the station to an out-of-market buyer would result in an
artificially depressed price.
A waiver will be presumed to be in the public interest if the applicant satisfies each criterion.
We find that the Application meets all four prongs of this test. First, the Applicants submit
Nielsen ratings showing that during the last three years, WNYA-TV's all-day audience share peaked at
1.4% in July 2010, and has continued to decline without exceeding 0.9% in more than a year.
With regard to the second criterion of financial condition, the applicants have submitted financial
data to demonstrate negative cash flow and operating losses at the station for the three years preceding the
filing of the application. Staff analysis of the financial data in the record indicates that the station had a
negative cash flow for 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Third, the Applicants state that WNYT will expand WNYA-TV's local news programming, and
anticipates producing new local programming. Specifically, the Applicants state that WNYT(TV)
currently is the top-rated local and nation television news program in the DMA, and that WNYT(TV)
routinely schedules 9.5 hours of news each weekday, of which 4.5 are locally produced by WNYT(TV),
whereas WNYA-TV offers no regularly scheduled news programming. After acquiring WNYA-TV,
WNYT intends to begin locally producing a half-hour weekday newscast for broadcast by WNYA-TV,
with expectations to increase such local production and at non-traditional times. WNYT further intends
to offer a focus on local news coverage for Berkshire, County, Massachusetts where there is no local,
full-power television station with such a focus, and to initiate a "town meeting" program for broadcast by
WNYA-TV for local issues of public importance.
The Applicants state that WNYA-TV has provided little in the way of public service outreach, but
that WNYT will initially strengthen WNYA-TV's public service offerings in two ways. First,
WNYA-TV will replicate a successful local public service issues and causes program called FORUM,
3 47 C.F.R. § 73.3555, Note 7. See also Review of the Commission's Regulations Governing Television
Broadcasting, Report and Order, 14 FCC Rcd 12903 (1999) (Local Ownership Order).
4 Local Ownership Order, 14 FCC Rcd at 12939.
5 47 C.F.R. § 73.3555, Note 7; Local Ownership Order, 14 FCC Rcd at 12939.
- 2 -
which WNYT has produced for years. Shortly after acquisition, WNYT would start to produce and air on
WNYA-TV a similar program that spotlights WNYA-TV's local public service issues and causes.
Second, WNYT would associate WNYA-TV with some of WNYT's public service efforts, including an
annual Earth Day electronics recycling project.
With regard to the fourth criterion, the Applicants submit that VTG began to seek an
out-of-market buyer for WNYA-TV beginning in 2009, and has made "active and serious efforts" to
market the station. VTG met with at least ten potential buyers, but due to WNYA-TV's lack of network
affiliation and worsening financial condition, none were willing to extend an offer. The Applicants
explain that in 2012 VTG retained Kalil & Co., Inc., a television brokerage company, to market the
station to out-of-market buyers. They submit an affidavit from the broker stating that it launched an
aggressive out-of-market campaign for WNYA-TV and discussed selling with several dozen prospective
buyers. Only one requested additional information about the station and no offers were made.6 The
Applicants state that only after several years of unsuccessfully searching for an out-of-market buyer did
VTG approach WNYT, which then extended the only offer to purchase WNYA-TV.
Based on the showings submitted under the "failing" station waiver criteria established in the
Local Ownership Order, we are persuaded that grant of a waiver is warranted on the grounds that
WNYA-TV is a "failing" station. Specifically, the Applicants demonstrate that WNYA-TV has a low
audience share that has not even approached 4% during the relevant period. In addition, the financial
documents submitted by the Applicants show that the station has consistently had a poor financial
condition and continues to do so, based on financial data confirming the station's persistent financial
difficulties, including a large negative cash flow for each of the previous three years.
Consistent with the Local Ownership Order, we believe that the combined operation of the
stations will pose minimal harm to diversity and competition and that allowing WNYA-TV to operate in
tandem with a stronger station will help it to become a viable local voice in the market, through a definite
improvement in locally produced news and locally produced issue-responsive and public affairs
programming. With regard to the fourth criterion, the Applicants document unsuccessful, active efforts to
sell WNYA-TV to an out-of-market buyer. Consistent with our previous decisions, we find that WNYT
is the only reasonably available candidate willing and able to acquire and operate WNYA-TV, and selling
the station to an out-of-market buyer would result in an artificially depressed price.
In light of the above discussion, we find that the applicants are fully qualified and conclude that
the grant of the assignment application would serve the public interest.

Inc., "Declaration of Station Marketability."

ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED That the request for a "failing station" waiver of Section
73.3555(b)(2) of the Commission's rules to permit the common ownership of WNYT(TV), Albany, New
York, and WNYA-TV, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, IS GRANTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED That the
application for assignment of the license of WNYA-TV, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, from Venture
Technologies Group, LLC to WNYT-TV, LLC (File No. BALCDT-20130307ABT) IS GRANTED.

Britain's accessible tall ship Lord Nelson has departed Sydney Harbour bound for Auckland, New Zealand, at the end of a highly successful inaugural visit to Australia.
Lord Nelson and Sydney Harbour Bridge
The 55-metre square rigged vessel, owned by UK charity, the Jubilee Sailing Trust, is crewed by disabled and able bodied people alike, thanks to simple but effective features in the design of the ship, including a speaking compass, braille signage, hearing loops, wheelchair lifts between decks and a bowsprit wide enough to accommodate a wheelchair so every crew member can have their 'King of the World' moment.
Lord Nelson is now en route to Auckland having led the fleet across the start line today for the Tall Ships Race from Sydney to New Zealand's City of Sails.
She proved a huge hit with Australian visitors during port visits to Fremantle, Albany, Adelaide, Melbourne, Hobart and Sydney, where she represented UK tall ships at last weekend's Royal Australian Navy International Fleet Review attended by HRH Prince Harry.
This will be the first visit to New Zealand for the ship and Lord Nelson is due to arrive in Auckland on 25 October, and will be open to the public on 26 and 27 October while she is berthed with the rest of the international tall ships fleet at Queens and Princes Wharves.
Berths sold out for all the Australian voyages and now Kiwis have a unique opportunity to sail on board Lord Nelson as she undertakes voyages from Auckland to Wellington, via the stunning Coromandel Peninsula and Cook Strait; from the nation's capital to the South Island and the picturesque port of Nelson; from there back to Auckland via the Marlborough Sounds and a final voyage around the North Island before setting sail on 15 December bound for South America.
Lord Nelson is currently mid-way through a two-year 50,000-mile global voyage, the Norton Rose Fulbright Sail the World Challenge, which will see the vessel become the first accessible tall ship to complete a circumnavigation via the three Great Capes: the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Leeuwin and the infamous Cape Horn. During the worldwide voyage, the ship and her crew aim to promote the messages of equality and inclusion in more than 30 ports of call.
Jubilee Sailing Trust's CEO, Alex Lochrane, said, 'Lord Nelson's visit to Australia has been a huge success in terms of introducing tall ship sailing to a new audience. This whole voyage came about because of the invitation from the Royal Australian Navy to join its centenary celebrations in Sydney Harbour this weekend, so to them we extend our thanks for inviting us to be part of such a fantastic spectacle.
'The visit to Australia would not have been possible without a great deal of support from organisations within the country so we also thank our many new friends for their time and energy, including our principal supporter, Norton Rose Fulbright, and those who have supported the charity in such a way as to enable others, both disabled and able bodied, to sail on board Lord Nelson. For many it has been a life-changing and life-affirming opportunity.'
Norton Rose Fulbright, which has five offices in Australia, is supporting this unique global voyage under their banner of 'All abilities. All aboard.' The global legal practice supports the Jubilee Sailing Trust's values of diversity, inclusion and integration.
Norton Rose Fulbright Australia Managing Partner, Wayne Spanner, said, 'To celebrate Lord Nelson's arrival in Sydney we invited partners, clients and their families to join us for a Family Day at the Maritime Museum in Sydney's Darling Harbour. It was heartening to see more than 280 people turn out for what was a spectacular spring day by the water. This was a great opportunity for our networks to hear anecdotes from the crew, explore Lord Nelson and share in the adventure of the Norton Rose Fulbright Sail the World Challenge.'
One New Zealander is among the more than 500 people from 25 countries, approximately half of whom are physically disabled and include 54 wheelchair users, who have already taken part in the journey which set off from Southampton, UK, in October 2012, riding the wave of the success of the London 2012 Paralympic Games. The ship is due to arrive back in the UK in September 2014.
Berths are available for both able bodied and physically disabled people for the voyages in New Zealand. A 'buddy' system on board pairs able bodied and disabled crew to offer mutual help and support during the passage. The lower age limit is 16 and there is no upper age limit.
No sailing experience is necessary as the permanent crew will give all the training and guidance needed to get the most out of the voyage, whether that is showing a crew member how to climb the rigging, steer the ship or haul on a rope to help set the sails. The ethos on board is to focus on what each person is capable of, rather than what they can't do.
As well as Lord Nelson, Jubilee Sailing Trust operates a second adapted tall ship, Tenacious, and more than 37,000 people have sailed with the organisation since it was founded in 1978, 14,000 of whom are physically disabled, including 5,000 wheelchair users.
Lord Nelson's New Zealand voyages (dates for crew joining and leaving the ship)
27 October – 5 November: Auckland to Wellington
8 November – 17 November: Wellington to Nelson
18 November – 27 November: Nelson to Auckland
28 November – 6 December: Auckland to Auckland

Length: 55 metres
Beam: 9 metres

Is Greece About To "Lose" Its Gold Again?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/25/2015 21:45 -0400
With everyone's attention pegged on the Grexit, what everyone appears to be forgetting is a nuanced clause buried deep in the term sheet of the second Greek bailout: a bailout whose terms will be ultimately reneged upon if and when Greece defaults on its debt to the Troika (either in or out of the Eurozone). Recall that as per our report from February 2012, in addition to losing its sovereignty years ago, Greece also lost something far more important. It's gold: To wit: "Ms. Katseli, an economist who was labor minister in the government of George Papandreou until she left in a cabinet reshuffle last June, was also upset that Greece's lenders will have the right to seize the gold reserves in the Bank of Greece under the terms of the new deal."

The Mystery Of China's Gold Holdings Is Coming To An EndSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/21/2015 21:49 -0400
While the reality is that nobody has a clue what China's actual gold holdings are, the good news is that the answer is coming. As noted above, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has asked the head of the International Monetary Fund to include China's yuan currency in its special drawing rights (SDR) basket. If indeed China is serious about CNY inclusion in the SDR, it will finally have to reveal its cards, which would mean it finally will provide an update, with a 6 year delay, of just what its latest gold holdings are. As such, don't be surprised to wake up one morning to headlines blasting that Chinese gold holdings have gone up by 2x, 3x, 5x or (more x) since 2009, a long-overdue update which will catalyze the next major leg higher in the precious metal.

Gold-Backed SDR "Is Quite Likely To Happen", LSE's Lord Desai WarnsSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 04/12/2015 21:45 -0400
As many are increasingly coming to terms with the 'obvious failure of fiat currency', the inevitavble question arises "what next?" Earlier this year, we discussed the possibility of a Chinese- or Russian-currency backed by gold, amid the increasing calls (domestically and abroad) for an end to USD Reserve hegemony; but this weekend, as Bloomberg reports, Lord Meghnad Desai, chairman of The Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum, stated that IMF Special Drawing Rights (SDR) should contain some gold to help stabilize the currency.
Stan Druckenmiller's "Horrific Sense" Of Deja Vu: "I Know It's Tempting To Invest, But This Will End Very Badly"Submitted by Tyler Durden on 04/12/2015 19:45 -0400
"I just have the same horrific sense I had" before, Druckenmiller said to an audience at the Lost Tree Club in North Palm Beach, Florida (according to a transcript obtained by Bloomberg). "Our monetary policy is so much more reckless and so much more aggressively pushing the people in this room and everybody else out the risk curve that we're doubling down on the same policy that really put us there."

When Will China Disclose Its True Official Gold Reserves And How Much Is It?Submitted by Tyler Durden on 03/29/2015 17:18 -0400
"If the RMB wants to achieve international status, it must have popular acceptance and a stable value. To this end, other than having assurance from the issuing nation, it is very important to have enough gold as the foundation, raising the 'gold content' of the RMB. Therefore, to China, the meaning and mission of gold is to support the RMB to become an internationally accepted currency and make China an economic powerhouse. That is why, in order for gold to fulfill its destined mission, we must raise our gold holdings a great deal, and do so with a solid plan. Step one should take us to the 4,000 tonnes mark, more than Germany and become number two in the world, next, we should increase step by step towards 8,500 tonnes, more than the US."

Lessons From The German Hyperinflation Of The 1920sSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/25/2015 18:30 -0400
The German hyperinflation episode in the early 1920s is often quoted as an example of the dire consequences of excessive money printing – a leading industrial economy succumbing to the dangers of currency debasement promoted by incompetent central bankers. Alas, the reality is more complex than that, particularly when certain geopolitical and economic constraints of that time are taken into consideration. And as we shall see, we can draw some important lessons from that episode that can help us gauge the effectiveness of our very own currency debasement in the 21st century.

The Threat To The Dollar As The World's Primary Reserve CurrencySubmitted by Tyler Durden on 03/07/2015 17:24 -0400
We need to look at the concept of a reserve currency differently, because it is important. We need to look at it as a privilege and a responsibility and not as a weapon we can use against the rest of the world. If we abolish, or even lessen, legal tender laws and allow the process of price discovery to reveal the best sound money, if we allow our US dollar to become the best money it can - a truly sound money - then the chances of our personal and collective prosperity are greatly enhanced. We all have the same interest. We all want to have the highest standard of living for ourselves and our families. A sound money reserve currency offers us the best chance of achieving our shared goal; therefore, we should rally around every effort to make it so.

Mark Spitznagel On The 'Myth' Of The Black Swan EventSubmitted by Tyler Durden on 02/13/2015 17:20 -0400
The major sudden bear markets of the last decades were not dreaded "black swan" events at all. They were perfectly predictable, by economic logic alone, the same logic that says governments cannot manipulate market prices without creating distortions that will always, without exception, be counterproductive. In the next stock market crash, we will be told that the fault was some surprising economic or geopolitical shock. Let's remind ourselves now that this will be false.

This is a good movie. Me and my friends enjoyed watching it. Thank you.
this film starts out slow and doen't get much better
the plot line is harder to digest than any of the victims with people portrayed stupid but they are working in a major medical lab? The Zombies are tearing up the neighberhood and the police don't know or recieve any calls ? Even the actors look bored as they keep wanting to go back to the place where it all started over and over again.

Drink between: 2008 - 2014 (Add My Dates)
Perhaps the best bottle of CSR I have ever had. Outstanding. The roughness you get in a young Gewurz is gone. There is the normal flavor profile of lychee and spice. There seems to be a bit of tart apple on the palate as well. The nose is lychee. The color is a bit darker than a young Gewurz. No sugar and no real apparent sweetness. I bought this when Jean Trimbach was in NY about 5-7 years ago. Holding to age a bit was definitely worth the wait. Glad I have more.

Elegant, restrained, beautifully flavored, spice, mineral, balanced, fresh, youthful, lovely wine.
Tasted non blind at a wine tasting.
Straw to light yellow color in the glass, clear looking throughout. Nose of apricot, ginger, flowers and wet stones. Flavors of apricot, peach and red skinned apples. Medium acidity, medium to full bodied. Drink or hold.
