Sir John Alexander Macdonald GCB, KCMG, PC (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada and the dominant figure of Canadian Confederation. Macdonald's tenure in office spanned 19 years, making him the second longest serving Prime Minister of Canada. He is the only Canadian Prime Minister to win six majority governments. He was the major proponent of a national railway, completed in 1885, linking Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. He won praise for having helped forge a nation of sprawling geographic size, with two diverse European colonial origins, and a multiplicity of cultural backgrounds and political views.
Bad luck followed the family to their new country. When he was only seven, Macdonald watched as his younger brother, James was struck and killed by a drunken servant who was supposed to be looking after them. And, Hugh Macdonald's business ventures in the Kingston area were scarcely more successful than they had been in Scotland. However, the family still managed to scrape up the money to send Macdonald to Kingston's Midland Grammar School where, according to biographer Donald Creighton, he studied subjects such as Latin, French and mathematics. "Already he was a voracious reader," Creighton writes, "and he would sit for hours deep in a book, almost oblivious to what was going on. At 14, Macdonald switched to a school for "general and classical education" founded by a newly-arrived Presbyterian minister from Scotland. It was one of the few schools in Upper Canada that taught both boys and girls. Kewl Macdonald's formal schooling ended at 15, a common experience at the time when only the most prosperous were able to attend university. Nevertheless, Macdonald later regretted leaving school when he did remarking to his private secretary Joseph Pope that if he had attended university, he might have embarked on a literary career. "He did not add, as he might have done," Pope wrote in his biography of Macdonald, "that the successful government of millions of men, the strengthening of an empire, the creation of a great dominion, call for the possession and exercise of rarer qualities than are necessary to the achievement of literary fame. He had a bad life.
Macdonald was then called to the Bar on February 6 1836. Soon after opening his own law firm he took in two students: Oliver Mowat, a future premier of Ontario and like Macdonald himself, a Father of Confederation, and Alexander Campbell, future Father of Confederation, federal cabinet minister and Lieutenant Governor of Ontario. With the help of his students, Macdonald "busied himself with lucrative but tedious work, such as chasing down unpaid bills and searching titles. Then suddenly, in 1837, Macdonald switched to criminal law for two years. Biographer Richard Gwyn writes that although there's no documentary evidence, there is a "plausible explanation" for Macdonald's motives:
As a criminal lawyer who took on dramatic cases, Macdonald got himself noticed well beyond the narrow confines of the Kingston business community. He was operating now in the arena where he would spend by far the greatest part of his life – the court of public opinion. And while there he was learning the arts of argument and of persuasion that would serve him all his political life.Macdonald unsuccessfully defended a man accused of raping an eight-year-old girl but won praise from a local newspaper for conducting "a very able defence." He then won the acquittal of a man accused of murdering a friend after an argument. Alexander Campbell, Macdonald's student wrote years later that Macdonald had persuaded the jury by his "humour and strong liking for anecdote more than for his professional knowledge.
Then, Macdonald served as co-counsel for John Ashley, the man in charge of a local military jail, who had himself been arrested and briefly imprisoned for allegedly helping 15 political prisoners escape from custody. Ashley sued Colonel Dundas, the military commander for illegal arrest. Dundas was a popular figure, but Macdonald helped persuade the jury to award Ashley substantial monetary damages. Macdonald, Creighton writes, was now associated "with the defence of the plain people against the encroachments of military power. The solid blue of his inherited conservatism was varied now, in a pleasantly interesting fashion, with a few threads of a different and livelier colour.
Finally, Macdonald took his biggest risk of all by agreeing to advise American raiders who had participated in an abortive invasion to liberate Canada from what they saw as the yoke of British colonial oppression. The inept raiders had been captured after the Battle of the Windmill (1838, near Prescott, Ontario) – a battle in which 16 Canadians were killed and 60 wounded. Worst of all, the American invaders were accused of mutilating the body of a dead Canadian lieutenant. Creighton writes that Kingston was "mad with grief and rage and horror. At least two other lawyers refused to help when the brother-in-law of one of the Americans pleaded with them to provide legal advice. Macdonald must have hesitated, but eventually said yes after the frantic brother-in-law knocked on his door one morning before he was out of bed.
It was surely wisdom to have nothing to do with the whole affair. And yet, he took the case. Even he might have found it difficult to say why. A curious interest in people, a relish for cases which were odd and difficult, a jaunty recognition of the fact that professional prestige involved publicity, and, perhaps, a certain stubborn, independent conviction that these helpless and deluded men deserved at least the bare minimum of assistance – all these may have helped to move him to his decision.There was little Macdonald could do to defend the Americans. Under military rules governing courts martial, civilian lawyers were not allowed to question witnesses or address the judge. Macdonald could only give private advice which helped the brother-in-law to ask searching questions during his trial, but did not save him from the gallows. Macdonald also advised "General" Nils Szoltevcky Von Schoultz, the brave and charismatic Polish immigrant who had led the American raiders after their real commanders abandoned them at Windmill Point. Von Shoultz insisted on pleading guilty and wanted to leave Macdonald $100 in his will. Macdonald had to refuse it, but he never forgot the tragic story of the tall, handsome Pole.
Biographer Donald Creighton writes that although the rebellions and their aftermath helped Macdonald's career, they also had lasting psychological effects. "For him, and for Kingston," Creighton writes, "the 'rebellion' had been not so much a native uprising as a succession of American raids; and from then on he never quite lost a certain lingering anxiety for the problem of British North American defence."
In 1843, Macdonald entered politics, standing for the office of Alderman in Kingston, a position to which he was elected. In 1844 he was elected to the legislature of the Province of Canada to represent Kingston, gained the recognition of his peers and in 1847 was appointed Receiver General in William Henry Draper's administration. However, Macdonald had to give up his portfolio when Draper's government lost the next election. He left the Conservatives, hoping to build a more moderate and palatable base. In 1854, he helped with the founding of the Liberal-Conservative Party under the leadership of Sir Allan MacNab. Within a few years, the Liberal-Conservatives would attract all of the old Conservative base as well as some centrist Reformers. The Liberal-Conservatives came to power in 1854 and under the new administration Macdonald was appointed Attorney-General. During his time in cabinet, Macdonald was usually the most powerful minister, even when other men held the premiership. In the next election Macdonald continued his rise in politics by becoming Joint Premier of the Province of Canada with Sir Étienne-Paschal Taché of Canada East for the years 1856 and 1857.
Taché resigned in 1857, and George-Étienne Cartier took his place. In the election of 1858, the Macdonald-Cartier government was defeated and they resigned as Premiers. In an interesting piece of politics, the Governor General of Canada asked Cartier to become the senior Premier, only a week after his defeat. Cartier accepted and brought Macdonald into office along with him. This was legal as any member of the cabinet could re-enter the cabinet provided they did so within a month of resigning their previous position. Macdonald focused on communications and defence, especially the Intercolonial Railway. Canada had to pressure the Colonial Office, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island to, as one historian notes, "consider an ambitious scheme proposed by their pushing and turbulent neighbour, Canada." [Creighton, 1956, p. 273]
The coalition government was again defeated in 1862. Macdonald then served as the leader of the opposition until the election of 1864, when Taché came out of retirement and joined ranks with Macdonald to form the governing party yet again.
To resolve the frequent legislative deadlocks in the Province of Canada, George Brown, the leader of the Clear Grits (the forerunners to the Liberal Party of Canada) and an extremely vocal opponent of Macdonald's Conservatives, joined with Macdonald's Conservatives and George-Étienne Cartier's Parti Bleu in 1864 to form the Great Coalition. The coalition sought to reform the political system of Canada, and was a crucial step in achieving a consensus to support future reform. However, the Parti Rouge of Canada East, led by Jean-Baptiste-Éric Dorion, still refused to join the coalition. Macdonald then spent 1864 to 1867 organizing the legislation needed to confederate the colonies into the country of Canada. In September 1864, he led the Canadian delegation at the Charlottetown Conference in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, to present his idea to the Maritime colonies, who were discussing a union of their own. In October 1864 delegates for confederation met in Quebec City, Quebec, for the Quebec Conference, where the Seventy-Two Resolutions were created – the plan for confederation. By 1866, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and the Province of Canada had agreed to confederation. Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island were opposed. In the final conference of confederation held in 1866 in London, England the agreement to confederate was completed.
In 1867 the agreement was brought to the British Parliament, which passed the British North America Act creating the Dominion of Canada. Upon the creation of the Dominion of Canada, the Province of Canada was then divided into the individual provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Macdonald was asked by the first Governor General of Canada Charles Monck, to form the first administration. He was subsequently knighted on Canada Day, July 1, 1867, the only colonial leader ever to receive that honour.
Queen Victoria knighted John A. Macdonald for playing an integral role in bringing about Confederation. His appointment as a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George was announced at the birth of the Dominion, July 1, 1867. An election was held in August which put Macdonald and his Conservative party into power.
Macdonald's vision as prime minister was to enlarge the country and unify it. Accordingly, under his rule Canada bought Rupert's Land and the North-Western Territory from the Hudson's Bay Company for £300,000 (about $11,500,000 in modern Canadian dollars). This became the Northwest Territories. In 1870 Parliament passed the Manitoba Act, creating the province of Manitoba out of a portion of the Northwest Territories in response to the Red River Rebellion led by Louis Riel.
In 1871 Britain added British Columbia to Confederation, making it the sixth province. Macdonald promised a transcontinental railway connection to persuade the province to join, which his opponents decried as a highly unrealistic and expensive promise. In 1873 Prince Edward Island joined Confederation, and Macdonald created the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (then called the "North-West Mounted Police") to act as a police force for the vast Northwest Territories.
In 1873, Macdonald was accused of taking bribes to award contracts for the construction of the railway. The Pacific Scandal broke and Macdonald was forced to resign on November 5th, 1873. Liberal leader Alexander Mackenzie formed a caretaker government. After New Years, 1874, the Liberals called an election. Macdonald's Tories were unable to recover from the scandal and the Liberals formed a majority government. This election was also the first in Canada to use a secret ballot.
Macdonald was returned to power in 1878 on the strength of the National Policy, a plan to promote trade within the country by protecting it from the industries of other nations. He also promised to renew the effort to complete the previously promised Canadian Pacific Railway. Macdonald won re-election as prime minister again in 1882. The CPR was completed in 1885, after several refinancing plans to cover shortfalls for the very expensive project, plunging Canada heavily into debt. Also in 1885, Louis Riel returned to Canada from exile in the United States, and launched the North-West Rebellion in the territory of Saskatchewan, but now that there was a railway through the area, militia were quickly sent to put it down; troops travelling from central Canada reached the site in eleven days. The success of this operation gave the CPR enough political capital to garner sufficient support to complete its construction. The trial and subsequent execution of Riel for treason caused a deep political division between French Canadians, who supported Riel (a culturally French Métis) and English Canadians, who supported Macdonald.
In 1891, Macdonald won the elections again, but by this time, the 76-year-old political warhorse started to feel the years of overwork, stress, drink and several bouts of severe illness, including a gallstone problem in 1870 that turned his office into a sick room for two months. On May 29, 1891, Sir John A. suffered a severe stroke, which robbed him of the ability to speak, and from which he would never recover. He died a week later on June 6, 1891 at the age of 76. He would lie in state in the Canadian Senate Chamber (prime ministers now lie in state in the Hall of Honour in the Centre Block) where grieving Canadians turned out in the thousands to pay their respects. His state funeral was held on June 9, attended by hundreds of thousands of people. He is buried in Cataraqui Cemetery in Kingston, Ontario. None of his children left heirs; he is survived by relative Hugh Gainsford.
But at the same time, he frequently suffered from an undiagnosed illness. The symptoms, weakness and listlessness, began in 1840 and continued sporadically throughout 1841. Macdonald decided he needed a complete rest, and in January 1842 he set sail for Britain, his pockets full of the money (about two thousand dollars) he had won during three nights of playing a card game called Loo. Macdonald's trip proved to be fateful. He recovered his health and met his first cousin Isabella Clark. Isabella's features were gentle and tranquil, according to biographer Donald Creighton, "her hair brushed smoothly away from its centre part in the demure fashion of the 1840s. She also had "large, beautiful blue eyes with an imploring expression that melted more than one observer's heart. "Isa," as Macdonald called her, followed him home to Kingston and on September 1, 1843, they were married. Macdonald was 28, Isabella, 34.
For the first year and a half, the Macdonalds lived the life of a happy, successful couple. John A. had been elected city alderman a few months before his marriage, so he was now a prominent local politician, and his law partnership with his former student, Alexander Campbell, continued to flourish. In the fall of 1844, Macdonald was elected as a Conservative Member of Parliament for Kingston. Then, in 1845, everything changed when his beloved "Isa" got sick. She suffered periodic attacks that included severe headaches and numbness. Biographer Patricia Phenix writes that Isabella was diagnosed "as suffering from everything from tic douloureux, a devastating pain in the fifth nerve of her face, to 'uterine neuralgia.'. To relieve the pain, she drank liquid opium as well as sherry. The opium and alcohol combined with the painful attacks left her groggy, exhausted and bedridden. Her chronic illness may also have had psychological causes rooted in an "hysterical personality" compounded by migraine headaches and her dependence on opium. As the illness continued, Macdonald feared Isabella would die. "The warm, pleasant edifice of his domestic happiness," Donald Creighton writes, "was crumbling towards utter ruin.
John A. responded to his wife's protracted illness by taking her to Savannah, Georgia where he hoped the warm climate and the company of her sisters would restore her health. They set off on their journey in the summer of 1845. The trip turned out to be long and gruelling with Isabella often unable to walk and suffering excruciating pain. They first joined Isabella's sisters in New Haven, Connecticut, finally reaching Savannah in late November. John A. was anxious to return home to continue his political career. He had to remain in the American south however, until Isabella's sisters arrived in mid-January 1846. He would not see his wife again until Christmas when they were reunited in New York City. There, Isabella became pregnant. After Macdonald returned to Canada, she remained under medical care in New York. Their first son, John Alexander, was born in New York on August 3, 1847 after a long and agonizing labour. "His eyes are dark blue, very large & nose to match," Macdonald wrote to his sister-in-law. "When born his length was 1 foot 9 inches & was strong and healthy, though thin.
Macdonald rented Bellevue House in Kingston in 1848 in the hope that the fresh suburban air and quiet would help Isabella's condition after her return from New York. This experiment, however, was a failure. Worse still, shortly after the Macdonalds moved into their new home, 13-month-old John Alexander was found dead in his crib, a possible victim of SIDS or sudden infant death syndrome. Isabella became pregnant again in 1849, yet another miracle for a 40-year-old chronically-ill woman. Their second son, Hugh John, was born on March 13, 1850. "We have got Johnnie back again," Macdonald wrote to his sister. "I don't think he is so pretty, but he is not so delicate. He was born fat & coarse.
Hugh John and his father were never close. The boy was raised by Macdonald's sister Margaret and her husband, James Williamson, after Isabella's death in 1857.
Macdonald is depicted on the Canadian ten-dollar bill. He also has bridges (Macdonald-Cartier Bridge), airports (Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport, and highways (Macdonald-Cartier Freeway) named after him, as well as statues and a plethora of schools across the country. In Kingston, Macdonald Park and Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard are both named in his honour and a bronze statue of the man stands at the corner of King and West streets. The law building at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario is named in his honour. The Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton and Macdonald House, part of Canada's high commission in London, are also named for him.
Macdonald and his son, Hugh John Macdonald, briefly sat together in the Canadian House of Commons before the elder Macdonald's death.
In 2004, Macdonald was nominated as one of the top 10 "Greatest Canadians" by viewers of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. He is considered by some Canadian political scientists to be the founder of the Red Tory tradition.

Wednesday And-1 Links: "The Justice League Goes Inside the NBA: All Star Edition" comic book exists
Feb 5, 2014, 7:23 PM EDT
Here is our regular look around the NBA — links to stories worth reading and notes to check out (stuff that did not get its own post here at PBT) — done in bullet point form. Because bloggers love bullet points.
• I LOVE that this exists. DC Comics has teamed with TNT's "Inside the NBA" crew for the release of "The Justice League Goes Inside the NBA: All Star Edition" — a comic book that pairs TNT's Inside the NBA studio team and The Justice League from DC Comics. The 12-page, limited-edition comic book will be distributed free to fans at NBA All-Star Jam Session in New Orleans during NBA All-Star weekend. I am soooo picking one of those up. If you're not going, the comic will be available on nba.com Feb. 12.
• Magic Johnson has become one of the guys to step forward with an investment and save the Los Angeles Sparks of the WNBA, keeping the team in Los Angeles after its previous owner decided she was losing too much money on the deal. Great move by him, that is an original WNBA franchise worth saving, there is a great fan base in Los Angeles.
• If you're saying all Blake Griffin can do is dunk, you're not watching him play.
• Kevin Ding of Bleacher Report with an insightful look at Steve Nash's return to the Lakers, for however long his body holds up.
• The Miami Heat walk into a nail salon…

Chrome Clone Alpha on Linux
Iron, a privacy clone of the Chrome Google browser, is now released in its first test version on Linux.
Iron is based on Chrome code, but unlike the Google browser, personal data is better protected. It won't create unique user IDs and doesn't send address lists to Google. The SRWare software firm first released the clone in September 2008 under BSD license, originally for Windows. The SRWare project download page now includes an alpha version for Linux.
The update notice in the SRWare forums says, "The download now contains Iron for Linux 3.0.197 and introduces some improvements like a nearly complete options dialog and Flash support. To enable Flash you have to start Iron for Linux with --enable-plugins as a parameter." Developers thoughtfully warn, however, that some instabilities still exist. The stable Windows version of 3.0.197, based on Chromium 3, was announced August 8.

BSOD with 6111
Had my hopes that this would fix the black screen of death. Ixnay on the fixeday. Maybe I should take up a new hobby, like drinking bleach. At least that would make for a more interesting day then staring at a blank screen while my cpu's are being raped by X.

agpgart is built into the kernel
Using NvAGP 0 or 1 diasbles agp but makes things work, except gaming/watching movies is not practicle without agp bandwidth.
NvAGP 2 or 3 will cause BSOD
Re: BSOD with 6111
Bump, nvidia please fix the stability issue its been addressed on this forum plenty of times..
Re: BSOD with 6111
before blaming nvidia (it is not their agpgart that hangs your box, is it?) try a different kernel and make sure, that it is properly configured&installed.
Re: BSOD with 6111
one tip:
load the agp-module (or if it is built in, just boot). Do NOT boot into X! Let testgart running, look for errors in testgarts output and dmesg. This will test your agpgart, without hanging your box. Maybe it will garble your output, but than a second run will maybe clean it up (if it run, if your box crashes, it is definitive a kernel-bug).
This way, you will see, if it is nvidia's or the kernels fault.
Re: BSOD with 6111
energyman76b: I've tried 3 drivers (1 unofficial release which proved more stable then the official), 7 kernels (some of which I used several compile time variations). All of this over the course of 2 months. I lost count of the times I've had to hard boot my box. I don't blame nvidia for this issue because I don't know the root cause. I'm just hopeing that someone with a similar configuration has had more success then I have.

I have no problems with AGP while using nv or other generic fb drivers. Also, I can only build the kernel with agpgart. I cannot disable agpgart or build it as a module while makeing my config. I'm not positive on this, but I believe this is due to my architectures dependices.
Thanks for your post!
Re: BSOD with 6111
well the nv driver and fb don't use the agp-architecture, so they don't be affected by agp-probs. But your testgart run looks ok. If you run testgart, are you able to start X after that?
Re: BSOD with 6111
Yes, I am able to start X after running testgart. Although, this is with agp disabled. With it enabled, I still get hard-locks.
As to fb not using agp; that's how I've always understood it. My confusion arises from the lack of options to build agpgart as a module or not at all. Would you know why this is the case if agpgart is not needed??? I'm at a lost in understanding this...I'm assuming it has something to do with the system architecture? I just dunno...
Re: BSOD with 6111
AFAIK opteron-boards always need the agpgart?
Maybe you should try and build and own kernel form kernel.org sources and spend extra time on the agp-config-options?
I think, you should built the module into the kernel, but I am not sure. (Yeah, I know, on ia32, they tell us, to make it a modules, but if I remember right, it is better to built it in on opterons/amd64)
Re: BSOD with 6111
BTW: a self compiled vanilla kernel usually helps...
Re: BSOD with 6111
Re: BSOD with 6111
Thanks for everyones post. I popped in a 5200 card and had no hard locks.
It's nice having extra cards to play with :)
I'm thinking there is a bug in X that doesn't like the 5700 chipset (at least within my hardware config and/or 64 bit OS because I'm sure others are running this chipset just fine..)

For many years ophthalmic coatings with the best abrasion resistance have been thermal cured coatings containing solvent. These coatings were generally based on polysiloxanes with nano particles of silicon dioxide dispersed in the mix. The polysiloxanes were produced from epoxy functional silanes, with varying percentages of other silanes to modify the properties to give the best balance of abrasion resistance, adhesion, and AR compatibility.
Advantage's of a coating containing polysiloxane is superior abrasion resistance and enhance adhesion between the hard coat and the first layer of the AR stack. This is due in part to a chemical bond between the hard coat and the first layer of the AR stack. It is well documented that polysiloxanes typically provide superior adhesion to minerals.
A disadvantage of a typical polysiloxane coating is poor stability in a solvent free system. The use of polysiloxanes in UV cured Ophthalmic Coatings has been criticized in various publications as leading to poor stability in a solvent free system. See for example Patent Application number US 2009/0311518 A1.
Ultra Optics has long been working with silanes, having first developed a thermal coating based on silane technology. Since then Ultra Optics has developed polysiloxane coatings with excellent stability, but primarily aimed at the tintable backside coating market.
After much research, Ultra Optics is utilizing Advanced Silane Technology (AST) to create superior abrasion resistance and adhesion in UV solvent free coatings.
AST-1 is a UV, solvent free, non-tintable, first generation AST coating developed for maximum performance. AST-1 provides superior abrasion resistance, adhesion, film clarity and AR enhancement. It is a perfect hardcoat compliment to premium lens technology.
With Advanced Silane technology, Ultra Optics is taking backside UV coating from the simplicity of the past to the science of the future.

Francisco Javier González Urruticoechea (17 November 1952 – 24 May 2001), known as Urruti, was a Spanish footballer who played as a goalkeeper.
At FC Barcelona, a club known for goalkeepers like Franz Platko, Antoni Ramallets, Juan Velasco and Ricardo Zamora, he became a legend, playing 307 La Liga games over the course of 16 seasons and also representing in the competition Real Sociedad and Español.[1]
Urruti represented Spain in three World Cups. In May 2001, he died in a road accident near Barcelona.[2][3] An annual golf tournament, the Trofeo Javier Urruti, is played in his honour.
Club career[edit]
Born in San Sebastián, Gipuzkoa, Urruti played as a junior with Lengokoak before joining Real Sociedad in 1969, spending three full years with the reserve team. For the next La Liga seasons, he maintained an interesting battle for first-choice status with legendary Luis Arconada.
After Arconada finally settled Urruti moved to RCD Español, where he won the Don Balón award in 1981 (Spanish Footballer of the Year),[4] moving across the city after that campaign to join FC Barcelona.
In his third year Urruti won the Zamora Trophy, while playing in all the matches safe one. Alongside the likes of Steve Archibald and Bernd Schuster, he was a prominent member of the Catalonia team coached by Terry Venables that won the league in 1985 and then reached the final of the European Cup in the following year; on 25 March 1985, in a game against Real Valladolid, his penalty save against Mágico González effectively clinched the title.
During the second leg of the European Cup semi-final against IFK Göteborg, Urruti successfully protested to the referee about a conceded goal after he spotted the ball had gone out of play – Barcelona were trailing 0–3 from the first-leg and the decision kept them in the game. They eventually drew level and in the subsequent penalty shootout, he saved a crucial penalty and then scored one; the final against FC Steaua Bucureşti, however, was a major disappointment as, although he saved two shots in the shootout (after 0–0 in regulation), his Romanian counterpart, Helmuth Duckadam, stopped all four.
After Andoni Zubizarreta, another Basque, arrived from Athletic Bilbao in 1986, Urruti was pushed to the bench and only appeared in one league match in his final two seasons combined, later being the club's goalkeeper coach. On 24 May 2001, he died after his car hit the central barrier of a ring road in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona, at just 48.[5]
International career[edit]
Urruti played five times for Spain in a two-year span, and was a member of the Spanish squads for the 1978, 1982 and 1986 FIFA World Cups, also being picked for UEFA Euro 1980. His debut came in a friendly with Norway on 29 March 1978, in Gijón; however, his struggles at the club level translated to the international front, as he was never able to replace fellow Basques Arconada and Zubizarreta.
Urruti also gained two caps for the Basque Country national football team.

About the ManufacturerIn 1869, a man named L. Lewis Sagendorph fulfilled his ambition to begin his own company that would produce the finest metal products in America. He called his fledgling business the Penn Metal Corporation of Pennsylvania, and began by making steel culvert pipe on Oregon Avenue in South Philadelphia.
Over the years, Penn Metal's product lines broadened to include lockers, shelving and even aircraft landing mats. A reputation for quality fabrication spread, and the company's influence became nationwide. In the 1950's, the name was shortened to Penco Products and the plant and offices were expanded to a modern facility in Oaks, Pennsylvania, near Valley Forge, PA.
Penco became a subsidiary of Vesper Corporation in 1979 and continued to grow. In 1994 the company added a manufacturing plant in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 2001, the East coast manufacturing facilities were moved from Oaks to a 400,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Hamilton, North Carolina, allowing significant room for expansion. The corporate headquarters remains in Pennsylvania.
The need for storage products is universal, and Penco's markets span the spectrum of industrial, service, governmental and institutional organizations. Shelving and pallet rack products are popular with warehousing and manufacturing applications, ranging from a few units to multi-level installations. Lockers are widely used in educational facilities, fitness centers, health care, commercial and industrial locations. Other products such as storage cabinets, work benches and shop furniture are used wherever material gets shipped, received or stored.
Penco's mission is to provide customers with value in the form of the finest storage products available.

Steve Hochstadt: No historian would transform the evidence into the nasty claims about Soros, and the Baumbach family who saved him, that Beck broadcast to his 2.6 million FOX News viewers.
Glenn Beck: It's a Blunderful Life
Robert Illes: Glenn has selected a small town in Wilmington, Ohio, from where he will do one of his live broadcasts, as a poster town for a latter day Bedford Falls which has resisted "becoming Pottersville" by being "self-reliant" against the government "takeover". Needless to say, none of this has anything to do with either the story of the "It's a Wonderful Life" film or reality.

Ron Wolff: I suggest that it is not necessary to postulate bias against conservatives as the reason for the preponderance of liberals in academia. The simpler answer is that conservatives (with exceptions!

Obama at Midterm – Grading on a Presidential Curve
Gil Troy: The "Yes We Can" Candidate of 2008 – who seemingly could do no wrong – is now seen by millions as the President who can do no right leading a sobered "No We Can't" citizenry, many of whom have lost jobs, lost hope for the future, and lost faith in the man who seemed so promising as a leader just two years ago.

Why Would the ADL Honor Rupert Murdoch?

Why Democrats Should Not Join In Economic Scapegoating
Robert Reich: Democrats should admit America's economic structure has become dangerously unbalanced — more unbalanced than it's been in 80 years — and the imbalance is making it difficult if not impossible for the nation to emerge from recession. For these reasons, Democrats should recommit themselves and the nation to redresssing that balance.

Style: BJJ--
I believe shinshoryu has provided the most exhaustive list of pros and cons of the art of Aikido.
I just wanted to add my own observations on this matter based on my experiences studying both Hapkido (a style that is at least related by many comment elements of Aikido) and Jujitsu.
I often questioned the utility of many of the techniques taught in Hapkido when I first started learning them and i still do know. It took a couple of years and alot of patience to understand the utility in this art. The problem is that these principles are subtle, difficult to master, and easily taken out of context by the casual observer.
That does not make them useless it only appears that way because you are judging it by the wrong parameters. Even the almighty BJJ is in the best case marginally effective against an opponent holding a gun or a knife. Does that make it useless?
So if you faced an opponent who was charging you with knife or sword would you defend yourself by trying take him to the ground? If someone brings a baseball bat to bear doesn't it make sense to grab his wrists or to deflect that energy instead of trying to shoot for his legs?
This is a repetition of what shinshoryu has basically said but what I would like to add is that the principles and techniques of arts like Hapkido and Aikido can by applied to arts such as Jujitsu as well. In fact, they're already there. And anyone who has spent time studying more than one martial art will tell you that there are many common elements even in MAs intended for completely different contexts. Understanding that makes you a better MA.
I could go on for quite a while and can make very specific examples based on my own experience but i will refrain unless asked. Instead I will offer you my 2 cents:
The world of martial arts is vast and varied, there is much to learn, and no single art can teach you everything so expose yourself to as much as you can and take with you what works. Don't discount Aikido and Hapkido just because you fight in a Gi on a mat against an unarmed opponent who's primary objective is to take you to the ground and make you submit. That is after all also a controlled environment that is equally ridicuous when you consider several real world scenarios. I can think of a number of scenarios where the best martial art for the occasion is track and field.

I recently previewed a number of homes with Kirsten. I was very impressed by the way she approached each house objectively with her buyers' needs in mind. Kirsten did a thorough visit, looking at each home's features, location and potential. I could see that Kirsten wasn't looking to close a quick deal but wanted to find a home for her clients that would be the right investment for them. More Less

Ratings & Reviews
Kirsten did an amazing job selling our home, in fact she had a nearly full price cash offer in just a couple of days! While searching for our new home she took the time to understand our needs and tailored the search accordingly. She is professional, enthusiastic, and outgoing. Kirsten made both selling and buying our homes an easy and pleasant experience. Sincerely, Brian and Shelley Bresnahan More Less
This was my first home buying and selling experience and Kirsten patiently guided me through the complex and convoluted process. She is very professional and knowledgeable of the real estate process as well as familiar with the homes in our area. She worked hard to help us buy our dream home, which was not easy since we were up against several other bids. Conversely, she worked just as hard and diligently to sell our other home. She was in constant communication with us and was very responsive to questions and issues as they arose. She has a very pleasant demeanor and I enjoyed working with her. I highly recommend her to anyone going through the home buying/selling experience. More Less

If you are using a later version (Word 2007 or later), this tip may not work for you. For a version of this tip written specifically for later versions of Word, click here: Converting Inches to Points.
A point is a typographical measurement that is quite small. Points are used to specify many typographical elements, such as font size and line spacing. This means that when writing macros, it may be helpful to convert from a familiar measurement (such as inches) to the equivalent measurement in points.
There are approximately 72 points per inch. This means that you could simply multiply a measurement in inches by 72 in order to derive a result. However, VBA also provides a method that does the conversion for you. Simply use the InchesToPoints method, as follows:
Selection.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = InchesToPoints(0.1)
This example sets the space after a paragraph equal to one-tenth of an inch. VBA takes care of the necessary conversion from inches to points.

The Global market for commercial seeds (http://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/commercial-seeds-market) is expected to reach USD 72.09 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing population coupled with reduction in arable land is expected to boost the demand for GM/bioseeds which are superior to conventional seeds in terms of disease resistance and yield. However, in spite of the advantages offered by GM seeds, the market faces considerable restraint in the form of government regulations in certain countries against the use of GM seeds
Corn/maize was the largest consumed commercial seed, accounting for USD 20.07 billion of revenue in 2013. The growth in corn can be attributed to its increased use as livestock feed and in ethanol production. Soybean was the next largest commercial seed form accounting for revenue in excess of USD 8 billion in 2013. Soybean is a cheaper source of protein and is being increasingly used in the medical field. Other common commercial seeds include cotton, canola, cereals and rice.
Further Key findings from the study suggest:
For the purpose of this study, Grand View Research has segmented the global Commercial Seeds market on the basis of product and region:

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A former southeast Kansas bank supervisor has pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $2.6 million from her employer over a 10-year span.
U.S. Attorney Barry Grissom says 55-year-old Cynthia Bright of Girard pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to one count of bank fraud. She admitted stealing the money while working as operations supervisor at Girard National Bank.
Bright used several different methods to steal the funds, including writing checks on her own accounts and altering electronic bank records to show the checks had cleared, even though money would not be taken from her account.
Grissom says Bright and the government have agreed to recommend a five-year prison sentence and a restitution order for the full amount of the thefts.
Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 15.
