March 25th, 2-14 (F1plus/Graham Keilloh).- If anyone was ever to write a definitive history of the F1 venue then the Sepang International Circuit, host of the Malaysian Grand Prix for the sixteenth time this weekend, would have to play a significant part in the story.
In a certain sense it would be more important than any other. No, really. Stop laughing at the back.
Yes, I know it's perhaps not one of the rounds on the calendar that necessarily quickens the heartbeat like Spa or Suzuka; it doesn't attract a mass crowd like Silverstone or Monza. To be brutal, if the Malaysian Grand Prix didn't exist there wouldn't likely be much of a pressing need to invent it (unless you just so happen to be CVC's bank manager).
But it is so because Sepang was the very first of the purpose-built, no expense spared, constructed from nothing, Hermann Tilke-designed facilities that so dominate the calendar these days.
When everyone pitched up there for the first time in 1999 they could sense the forward stride in standards from what had gone before that it represented; Bernie not for nothing called it 'the best circuit in the world'. Its template has been used repeatedly in just about every new venue on the F1 itinerary since.
That template by now will be familiar to you: impressive and decorative grandstand and paddock architecture; long straights book-ended by tight corners intended to provide overtaking opportunities; and a fast esses section. All are present at Sepang.
As Tilke-dromes go its layout remains one of the best, arguably only usurped by Austin in the years since. The Sepang circuit is flowing and challenging, with a wide variety of fast, medium and slow corners.
And, perhaps appropriately, just as the Sepang venue was a signpost for the future of the F1 stop-off, the Malaysian Grand Prix that takes place there tends also to be an irrefutable signpost of which competitors are well-set for the opening part of the season.
It's tended to sit at round two of the itinerary, after the opener in Melbourne. But for many reasons the Albert Track is an outlier, so those who weren't so hot there cling to the hope that the very different - and in some ways more standard - challenges in Malaysia will be their salvation.
Another thing that has become synonymous with races in Malaysia is the flash tropical rain storm - and occasionally a prolonged one - which has a tendency to break in on proceedings at a moment's notice and ruin many-a-weekend.
Perhaps this year especially so: this time remember that the cars have more torque plus the effective outlawing of the exhaust-blown diffuser means rear-end stability - vital in wet conditions - is less on offer this campaign.
The track's distinctive sharp right and left which start the lap can shuffle the grid order on lap one as well as be the scene of much grief. Copious braking zones around the track encourage plenty of lunges for position.
Possibly related to all of these factors, the Malaysian Grand Prix tends to be one wherein things happen. It's hard to imagine a race here without drama (though the drama last year was of a sort that no one foresaw). Unusual results have been a fairly frequent feature in these parts.
The cars will get an all-round workout around Sepang - quick and slow corners, long and short ones too, lengthy straights, big stops and significant traction zones. All are here.
And given this it is hard to look beyond the Mercedes team to prevail, who confirmed in the Melbourne opener what had been suspected throughout pre-season that its car is a few strides ahead of the rest.
Nico Rosberg won the opener at a canter, and there's evidence that in so doing he didn't show the full content of the Merc's hand.
After all, he set his (and anyone's) fastest lap on tour 19 of 57 - still with plenty of fuel aboard in other words - while in the opening laps as well as those after the safety car he seemed well capable of circulating at a second or more a lap under the best of anyone else out there.
But another factor synonymous with the Malaysian Grand Prix is extreme oppressive humidity, which gets seriously to everyone present.
Rosberg and and his teammate at Mercedes -Hamilton- aim for another dominant display.

There are reasons to think that it also will be a player more than usual this time: a consequence of the new formula is that currently not a single team can take reliability for granted, and the cooling of the new power units especially has been keeping engineers awake at night. Particularly so among the Renault runners and particularly among them Red Bull.
In the opening round there were far fewer technical breakdowns than those on the doom-mongering end of the spectrum anticipated, but mild Melbourne is one thing; stifling Sepang is quite another.
Balancing the considerations of opening up the bodywork to increase cooling, with the detrimental impact that has on aerodynamics, will be key this weekend. The race may turn out to be one of survival.
Even the Mercedes team will have its reliability concerns this weekend. But just as in Melbourne the suspicion is that only unreliability can deny one of its cars victory. Hopefully though, unlike then, we'll be able to watch a battle between the two Silver Arrows for at least some of the distance.
Lewis Hamilton will of course be seeking a bounce back having ceded, through no fault of his own, 25 points to his stable mate Nico Rosberg in Melbourne.
It may not be easy however; Sepang has long been a happy hunting ground for Nico: one thinks of his sticking his Williams third on the grid here way back in 2006 in only his second Grand Prix, as well as leading confidently in 2009. And as we also all remember it required a team order to keep him behind Lewis last year. Nico's good in the wet too.
The long straights at Sepang should allow the Merc-powered runners to stretch their legs, what with them reckoned to have a horsepower advantage. Indeed, five of the top seven through the Albert Park speed trap benefit from German power. There will be plenty of overtaking opportunities for them too: they should be able to sail past less fortunate rivals in the track's extended spells at full pelt.
Chief among the beneficiaries should be Williams, who in another confirmation of the steer from pre-season looked the next quickest car out there after the Merc in round one.
However, the team didn't begin to get the result its pace deserved in Australia (for a few reasons) so will this weekend be looking to set that right.
There is a problem however, that as mentioned rain is a frequent feature at this track. In the wet qualifying session in Melbourne the two Grove cars sank, probably related to the car's characteristic, noted by Gary Anderson, that its rear grip isn't brilliant. This will be combined with a Sepang track that even in the dry may show this vice up a bit more ruthlessly than Albert Park did.
While the other famous British name having a renaissance in 2014, McLaren, had an encouraging debut in Australia and Ron Dennis promises half a second of improvement on that to be on the machine for Malaysia. If it does arrive it likely won't be enough to get the McLaren up to the Mercedes, but it may be enough to have it as next along the line.
The heat, layout and abrasive surface also make tyre wear at Sepang high. The hardest tyres are being brought this weekend plus Pirelli is being less marginal generally this season. Testing however suggested that the Force India is kind to its tyres, so this plus a Mercedes engine could equal a competitive weekend.
And what of Ferrari? Appropriately the often enigmatic team remained a mystery in Melbourne to an extent. The red cars' pace was underwhelming for the most part, and indeed its senior staff as well as its drivers subsequently were not seeking to conceal that there is work to do.
Rumours abounded that the F14 T also is overweight. But equally both cars in the race apparently had electrical problems rather hobbling them on the straights, so things may look a bit better in Sepang, and Kimi Raikkonen for one has noted that with a trouble-free weekend the Scuderia will be much further up the order.
It still seems undeniable though that they'll lose time to the Merc cars on the track's lengthy full-throttle sections. But one thing that was said about the Ferrari in Melbourne was that the car is strong through quick corners, of which there are more this time.
Then there's Red Bull, a team whose RB10 performed incomparably better, and much more reliably, in Australia than the woes of testing had suggested, and also looked to observers to have the best and most stable chassis out there.
The main problem remains the Renault power unit. So while the Bulls may be the quickest through the track's twisting sections the risk is they'll lose that time and more on the straights.
Conspiracy theorists too will be looking for a drop-off in performance compared with Melbourne what with fuel gate and all that. Still, whatever is the case, and as we saw in Melbourne qualifying, rain should bring the Milton Keynes cars right into the picture.
But, for all we talk of Melbourne being unusual it is difficult to cite examples of cars going badly there suddenly getting their salvation at the following round. In F1's equivalent of the grief cycle, the first stage of finding oneself off the pace is denial.
Come Sunday evening when all of the 2014 machines will have faced two very different challenges in two rounds any denial will be much harder to sustain.
In an inappropriate place given the local climate, they'll feel the chill and biting wind of reality that will be difficult to shelter from.
Once again, Sepang will provide a significant signpost for the future.

WASHINGTON, June 8, 2000 NATO troops have made huge strides toward ending ethnic strife since the Kosovo Force entered Yugoslavia's southern province one year ago June 11, but the international community still has a long way to go.
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley delivered that bottom-line assessment to reporters in a June 6 briefing.
About 6,100 Americans are among the 42,000 troops from 28 nations participating in peacekeeping operations, which began after NATO airstrikes against the Serb military succeeded in ending escalating violence against the province's ethnic Albanian majority.
Quigley offered some statistics to prove the mission's success to this point:
o 1.3 million refugees have returned to their homes -- 840,000 from neighboring Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia and 555,000 displaced inside Kosovo.
o The murder rate is down from 50 per week to seven.
o 3,800 small arms have been confiscated and destroyed, and 8,500 weapons have been handed in voluntarily by the Kosovo Liberation Army.
o 16,000 homes and 1,165 schools have been cleared of unexploded ordnance.
o 18,000 stoves, 4,000 truckloads of firewood and more than a million roofing tiles have been distributed to the people of the region.
Hot spots of continuing violence remain in several areas, including Mitrovica and the Presevo Valley, Quigley said, and land mines, unexploded ordnance and booby traps keep many refugees from returning to their homes and villages. Another issue the peacekeepers are struggling to address is violence against Serbs by ethnic Albanians hungry for revenge.
Quigley said the "proper mechanism" for dealing with these issues is through the United Nations. "Some progress is being made in that regard. More needs to be done," he said.
Some members of Congress have called recently for a mandatory withdrawal date of U.S. troops from Kosovo, a suggestion defense officials have urged against. Pulling U.S. forces from Kosovo would be counterproductive to peace and would seriously jeopardize U.S. relations with NATO allies, Defense Secretary William Cohen said in a letter to the Senate in May.
"I frequently have to testify on Capitol Hill, and they want to know, 'How long? How long is it going to take before these wounds heal?' You know from your experiences, it's not going to be easy," Cohen said to American soldiers in Kosovo May 1. "The passions that still reside here are still pretty high, and they're likely to remain high for some time to come."
Quigley refused to speculate on when the mission might end. "That's a decision this nation will make, not this building (the Pentagon)," he said.

Salazar Calls on Public-Private Partnership to Restore National Mall
Contact: Kendra Barkoff (202) 208-2416
WASHINGTON DC – In remarks today at a benefit for the National Mall, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar outlined a vision for a public-private campaign to restore the nation's most visited national park, and thanked the National Park Service's many private, philanthropic, and non-profit partners for their support. The remarks were made at the Trust for the National Mall's Annual Benefit Luncheon.
"The National Mall is where we come to learn about our country, our leaders, and to celebrate our shared values of equality and freedom," Secretary Salazar said. "It is imperative that we work with our philanthropic partners, the private sectors, and all Americans to ensure this special park - our most visited National Park – is able to carry forward our nation's principles, ideals, and stories for the generations that follow."
Secretary Salazar also announced today that former First Lady Laura Bush has agreed to serve as honorary chair of the national campaign to restore the National Mall. The $350 million campaign is being managed by the Trust for the National Mall, the official partner of the National Park Service for the National Mall.
"Laura Bush's participation is a tremendous validation of the importance of the National Mall to our country, and we are fortunate to have her join the effort," said John E. "Chip" Akridge, III, Chairman of the Trust for the National Mall. "We look forward to working with the Secretary of the Interior and the American people on this historic campaign."
Over the last two years, the Administration has invested $60 million in job-creating restoration projects already underway on the National Mall, including the reconstruction of the Jefferson Memorial seawall, the revitalization of the Lincoln Memorial landscape and reflecting pool, and the restoration of the DC War Memorial to WWI Veterans.
Last November, Salazar signed the National Mall Plan, a comprehensive blueprint for the first major renovation of the park since 1976.
"I believe we have crafted a plan that will make all Americans proud of the National Mall," National Park Service Director Jon Jarvis said. "We are honored by Laura Bush's participation in the campaign to make this plan a reality just as we have been honored to welcome her as a frequent visitor to America's national parks. She knows first-hand the importance of these places as the keepers of America's stories and as great destinations to share with family and friends."
Projects in the National Mall Plan will include:
- Restore the Lincoln Reflecting Pool using sustainable technology that will save 50 million gallons of potable water each year.
- Repurpose historic structures and areas like the Lockkeepers House, Constitution Gardens and Survey Lodge to better provide history and services to Mall visitors.
- Prepare the National Mall for the high level of use it receives from the 25 million annual visitors – providing restored and improved amenities including food facilities, restrooms and information resources.
- Improve the quality of the park's natural resources including restoring The Mall between 3rd and 14th Streets, providing a healthy and well functioning urban ecosystem.
- Repairing the seawall around the Tidal Basin which is breached twice a day by high tide.

Hello again, my Beauties! It's time for another makeover! This time I am going to show you how to take a plain, old, boring nightstand and give it a makeover using some sample paint and a craft store stencil.
I started with an old nightstand that had been given to me by my sister-in-law. She had no use of it and told me if I wanted it I could have it. Of course I wanted it; I never turn down free furniture.
Lucky for me, it was in great shape and the top was in practically perfect condition. It was just a bit boring. This is where the fun begins! I like to try all different paint colors and rather than buying a full-sized can, I buy the little sample pots so I can get a feel for the color before fully committing. The sample size was more than enough paint for this project.
I painted the base and drawer fronts with American Paint company's Backyard Pond. It's a nice cool color. This paint is a mineral/chalk/clay based paint so it is water based.That means it has to be sealed with either wax or poly.
I gave my table two thin coats of paint since I wanted a more distressed look. Before waxing the piece, I took a little sponge and wiped the edges where I wanted the old wood to show through. Then I waxed and buffed the piece to cure the paint and seal it.
This piece would look great if you were to stop at this stage, but I like to add a little extra fun to my pieces. For that, I chose to add a fun and funky little harlequin pattern.You can find lots of choices of stencils at your local craft store. Now since its hard to paint a piece and explain I will demonstrate the stenciling technique on this board.
My board has been painted, waxed and buffed just like the dresser. For the stenciling I simple use a flat stencil brush, some acrylic craft paint, and my stencil.The key to stenciling is to not overload your brush.You actually need very little paint. If you overload your brush the paint will bleed through the stencil. I keep a rag next to me when stenciling so I can blot the paint off the brush before stenciling. You can see on my brush how little paint is actually on it.
The best part of the dry brush stenciling is that it's very easy to go over it with a second coat if you wish to darken up the paint. It also dries very quickly because of the small amount of paint. When the stenciled area is dry you can wax over that and buff that up to, to give it an even distressed look. Once the stenciling is done, your piece is ready to be displayed!
It is now the perfect piece to accent a living room or a place to keep things next to your bed. So next time you see that boring, old, boxy piece of furniture, imagine it in a fun new color with a funky little pop of pattern!

Appendix A: Introducing Hibernate OGM
Persistence—the ability of data to outlive an instance of a program—is central to modern applications. Hibernate, the most popular provider of the Java Persistence standard, offers automatic and transparent object/relational mapping, making it a snap to work with SQL databases in Java applications.
Java Persistence with Hibernate explores Hibernate by developing an application that ties together hundreds of individual examples. You'll immediately dig into the rich programming model of Hibernate, working through mappings, queries, fetching strategies, transactions, conversations, caching, and more. You'll also appreciate the well-illustrated discussion of best practices in database design and optimization techniques. In this revised edition, authors Christian Bauer, Gavin King, and Gary Gregory cover Hibernate 5 in detail along with the Java Persistence 2.1 standard (JSR 338).
All examples have been updated for the latest Hibernate and Java EE specification versions.
- Object/relational mapping concepts
- Get started with Hibernate and Java Persistence
- Efficient database application design
- Comprehensive Hibernate and Java Persistence reference
- Integration of Java Persistence with EJB, CDI, JSF, and JAX-RS
- Unmatched breadth and depth
Christian Bauer is a member of the Hibernate developer team and he works as a trainer and consultant.
Gavin King is the founder of the Hibernate project and a member of the original Java Persistence expert group (JSR 220). He also led the standardization effort of CDI (JSR 299). Gavin is currently creating a new programming language for business applications called Ceylon.
Gary Gregory is a software engineer at Rocket Software working on application servers and legacy integration. He is the co-author of JUnit in Action and Spring Batch in Action, and a member of the project management committees for the Apache Software Foundation project Commons, Xalan and Logging Services.
This Early Access version of Java Persistence with Hibernate, Second Edition enables you to receive new chapters as they are being written. You can also interact with the authors to ask questions, provide feedback and errata, and help shape the final manuscript on the Author Online forum.

Rep. Steve Israel announced Tuesday morning he will introduce federal legislation to prevent fire deaths at colleges and universities nationwide that was inspired by the death two years ago of a 21-year-old Commack woman in a house fire in upstate New York.
On Jan. 21, 2012, Kerry Rose Fitzsimons, a senior at Marist College, died in an off-campus house fire in Poughkeepsie. Also killed were fellow college student Eva Block, 21, of Woodbridge, Conn., and former Marist student Kevin Johnson, 21, of New Canaan, Conn.
"Those deaths may have been preventable," said Israel (D-Huntington) at the Commack Fire Department. "They may have been preventable had there been sprinklers in that house."
Israel's legislation, the Kerry Rose Fire Sprinkler Notification Act, would require colleges and universities to notify students about what kind of fire-safety systems are in their college-owned dorm rooms or apartments and notify them again when they move in.

BWW Reviews: KT SULLIVAN and JEFF HARNAR Are Beguiling and Theatrical In Their Second Sondheim Songbook Show at the Laurie Beechman
by Alix Cohen - Jul 17, 2015
I could tell you that KT Sullivan and Jeff Harnar have done it again, but the truth is that they've done it even better. Their first foray into the Stephen Sondheim songbook last summer, Our Time, consisted of she sings, he sings--each watching the other perform then offering duets. This iteration titled Another Hundred People: Sullivan and Harnar Sing Sondheim—Act II (both at the Laurie Beechman Theatre), beautifully directed by Sondra Lee, considers both characters theatrically, not just vocally, but visually.

BWW Interviews: Robert Creighton: Making It Real
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold - Aug 5, 2015
'The more real you play it, the better for any piece, even a comedic piece like this one.' Stage and television actor Robert Creighton is talking about his upcoming role debut in Mel Brooks' Young Frankenstein, which opens August 6th at the Maine State Music Theatre. Creighton, who is playing the meaty role of Frankenstein's bungling, hunchbacked assistant Igor, says of his approach to the part, 'The script is so good, so honed that I just have to say the words and stay out of their way. I don't have to mug. It is so well-crafted that I simply embrace the stupidity of it all, enjoy that and watch the audience enjoy it, too. When you play it for real, you are not making fun of the humor or commenting on the material, and the situation takes care of itself.' (more...)

Things I liked:The adapter is fairly well made. The fittings are working fine and don't seem to be prone to any issues. Earlier reviews indicated a problem with air leaks. I suspect those were caused by improper closing of the bleed valve, which is of an unusual design. The bleed valve has not acted up for me.
Things I would have changed:There is no pressure gauge built in to the hose. There is a separate gauge you can buy, which works, but this really needs a larger gauge on it for optimal use.
What others should know:Make sure you close the bleed valve tight. Hand tight, but still as tight as is practical.
Things I liked:Adapter came with my 4500 psi SCBA. Easy to connect and use.
Things I would have changed:Bleed system needs to be improved. It was alway touchy and you had to play with it a bit to get it to stop bleeding air. Now after only 3 refills on the tank, it is just blowing air out when I try to use it. I have contacted PA about this and will see if it can be fixed.
What others should know:When it works it is a good unit, but expect air loss problems.
I contacted PA about the bleed system leaking and they sent the replacement seal. After only using it 5 times and being very careful to gently close the valve the seal is again leaking. The bleed system is of poor design and will always have problems. Such a cheap system should not be included with a tank that costs over $700.
Things I liked:saves my 44 year old back from pumping up my Maruader.
Things I would have changed:I think it is just fine the way it is
What others should know:fill your air gun slow

(ABC 6 NEWS) -- A man with ties to a number of community organizations in Rochester, including those involving children, has been charged with criminal sexual conduct involving a child.
38-year-old Frederick Douglas is charged in Olmsted County District Court with two felony counts of criminal sexual conduct. He's accused of exposing himself to a 13-year-old girl and touching her sexually.
Douglas is currently on the board of directors for Child Care Resource & Referral in Rochester. He's also worked with the Diversity Council, the local chapter of the NAACP, and according to an on-line bio he has volunteered with Rochester Public Schools.
Douglas was in the news earlier this year when police say he was stabbed during an argument with his brother. He's set to be back in court on the child sex abuse charges January 10th.

The smell of turkey filled the air outside the Marine General store in Duluth Wednesday morning.
A little more than a week ahead of Thanksgiving, Marine General's Russ Francisco taught people how to fry turkeys in oil. That little bit of education has been happening for about 50 years. But in recent years, Francisco said the event has taken on a new purpose. Now he does fundraising to buy bikes and toys for kids.
Francisco said, "it's not a competition, so whatever the cause is, and whoever you're working with, if it's toys for kids, take a couple dollars if you can afford it and help us out. Help somebody out."
Francisco hopes to collect about $20,000 in donations, bikes and toys for kids, which will end up going to the Salvation Army.
The fundraiser continues into December, and you can donate at the store on London Road.

Apple released iOS 6.1.1 beta 1 to developers yesterday, which added improvements to Maps in Japan. iOS 6.1 was only released about 9 days ago (at the time of writing this article), so this is rather quick of Apple. Maybe they were trying to fix the Evasi0n untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.x that was released just 2 days before Apple seeded iOS 6.1.1 beta 1.
Well, as it turns out, that is not the case. Apple hasn't patched the untethered jailbreak in iOS 6.1.1 beta 1, says one of the members of Evad3rs, Pod2g. In a recent tweet, the hacker confirmed that iOS 6.1.1 beta 1 can be jailbroken and no security holes have been fixed. He also asks developers not to upgrade because Evasi0n still does not let you jailbreak. Perhaps Apple is still trying to figure out how the Evad3rs managed to break through their iOS security.
Pod2g also mentions that Apple will most likely fix the jailbreak in a future release of iOS, maybe iOS 6.2. That is very much possible, but for now, you can enjoy an untethered jailbreak on iOS 6.x and download all the tweaks you like from Cydia. Make sure you don't update to iOS 6.1.1 beta 1 if you want to remain jailbroken though.
If, however, you're a developer living in Japan, then you can upgrade and try out all of the new improvements with Maps. You could always downgrade if you listened and backed up the iOS 6.1 SHSH blobs from Cydia.

Harold Robert House and Lonnie G. Greer
A Johnson City man charged with multiple counts of statutory rape for having sex with a 17-year-old runaway at the Appalachian Fairgrounds was just one of several people charged with crimes during the six-day annual event.
According to Washington County Sheriff Ed Graybeal, a total of 12 people charged with violating Tennessee laws. That includes a juvenile caught selling marijuana on the fairground property, he said.
Nine of those arrested were for public intoxication.
More serious charges included Harold House, 29, 612 E. Maple Street, Johnson City, who was charged with eight counts of aggravated statutory rape and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
House was arraigned on the charges Tuesday. During that hearing, he told a Washington County General Sessions judge he is part owner of a tractor trailer that hauls equipment for the Drew Exposition and he travels with the company.
House was initially arrested on two outstanding warrants on unrelated charges, then investigators discovered the sexual relationship he was having with the teenager. According to court documents, House picked up the girl at her home in Kingsport on Friday.
The pair had sex and House is also accused of giving the girl marijuana.
She was later found sleeping in the back of House's car which was parked at the fairground.
In another arrest, Lonnie G. Greer, 34, 219 Patton Ridge Dr., Jonesborough, was arrested when an officer saw him entering the fairgrounds and recognized him as a wanted federal fugitive.
The outstanding federal warrant charges Greer with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is being housed in the Washington County Detention Center, but is classified as a federal prisoner.
In another incident, deputies were alerted to a juvenile who was "possibly selling marijuana inside the fairgrounds," according to a sheriff's office press release.
When officers began to investigate, they discovered seven grams of marijuana and plastic baggies used to package drugs. The juvenile ran after officers found the drugs, was apprehended at a gate as he tried to leave the fairgrounds.
Two deputies were injured during the foot pursuit, according to the sheriff. The juvenile was issued a citation into Washington County Juvenile Court and released to his parents.• Related article: Carnival worker charged with raping runaway 17-year-old girl at Appalachian Fairground comments powered by Disqus

Oyster farming expands in Scarborough River
SCARBOROUGH — Abigail Carroll's life on the farm is no shell game.
Carroll, the owner of Nonesuch Oysters, has been raising oysters in the Scarborough River for two years near the railroad bridge and Seavey's Landing.
Farm expansion plans were approved July 16 by the Maine Department of Marine Resources, with a three-year lease on a site adjacent to 4.5 acres she already uses to moor floating mesh bags of virginicus oysters.
Carroll will gain more room for the second stage of oyster cultivation, in a setting DMR officials have determined provides plenty of water flow and nutrients for her crops, without interfering with navigation or other river uses.
She and Scarborough Harbor Master Dave Corbeau are looking to use space on the Pine Point Municipal Pier for the first stage of growth, which occurs in oyster nurseries called upwellers. Carroll's upwellers are now adjacent to the Biddeford Pool Yacht Club.
"I've got livestock here," she said at the club, inspecting a lobster tub containing five-gallon buckets of germinating oyster spats. The spats, which feel like barley to the touch, range in size from a wood tick to a pencil eraser, and are fed and nourished by water pumped at 150 gallons a minute.
Carroll wants to move at least one upweller, in part because her staff does not get to see many of the infants they will eventually tend.
"They are kind of missing the fun part, you can see growth every two days," she said.
As the oysters mature and develop shells, Carroll and her staff then move the spats to mesh bags moored in the Scarborough River. Mature oysters are sold to a wholesaler that supplies restaurants throughout greater Portland.
Corbeau said he expects permits will be needed from the DMR and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to set up an upweller on the pier, but not from the town.
"The process should not be a huge issue," he said.
Raising spats provided by nurseries on the Damariscotta River was a large step in expanding Nonesuch Oysters, Carroll said. Biddeford mill owner Chris Betjemann helped build the upweller and modify the design to incorporate the five-gallon buckets inside lobster tanks.
Just as she planned to install and operate the upwellers in Scarborough, an inundation of rain runoff decreased salinity levels to a point where the spats would have died.
Carroll sought help from the yacht club, where she is a member, and Biddeford officials to open the upwellers adjacent to the club.
Tending and cleaning the upwellers is constant work, and spats are fed with the flow of abundant phytoplankton in waters off the yacht club.
"Murky water is good," Carroll said. "I'm totally obsessive, I am here all the time."
In September, Carroll said she will shut down the upwellers and place even the smallest spats into bags on the river in advance of winter.
In Scarborough, she relies on a staff of current or recently graduated college students to check the moored bags, shift growing oysters, harvest those ready for market, and get rid of predators like mussels.
The farm was initially stocked with some maturing oysters to ensure the company could begin selling and have cash flow. Now the smaller ones planted in 2010 are also reaching market size: between 2 and 3 inches wide.
Carroll said about 2,000 oysters were harvested last week, and Nonesuch employee Russ Chandler said he harvested about 300 on Tuesday afternoon.
Initial efforts to grow Maine-raised French belon oysters were unsuccessful, but Carroll said she would like to try again, and import stock from France for the farm. Carroll is also expanding retail sales of the oysters to the Pine Point Fisherman's Co-op and Ken's Place on Pine Point Road.
Carroll's team of aquatic farm hands includes Kim Little, a Cleveland native who also works at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, and Bowdoin College sophomore Ryan Mancini, an economics major.
"You can't beat working on the water," Little said as she held a bucket of freshly harvested oysters next to her tanned, mud-flecked legs.
Carroll called Little a "rock star" for the work she does year round, even as oysters hibernate in the winter.
"The key to (working in) February is finding gloves," Little said. "As soon as I find the perfect pair, I'll buy them in bulk."
When the expansion is complete, Carroll estimates she will be raising about 80,000 oyster annually. She holds no illusions they will all fill plates, but feels good about how things have progressed in the third year of her five-year business plan.
"That's why you start out with a lot of oysters," she said.

Leonardo's notebook
Leonardo da Vinci's notebook
British Library Arundel MS 263, f.86v-87

A high-quality version of this image can be purchased from British Library Images Online. For more information email firstname.lastname@example.com

Few persons have achieved the level of immediate recognition of Leonardo da Vinci. His 'Mona Lisa' is a universally recognised image and has been adapted to suit any number of purposes, sometimes humorously and more often commercially. The stunning success of Dan Brown's novel The Da Vinci Code documents the continued fascination that Leonardo da Vinci exercises on the Western imagination, nearly 500 years after his death. For many readers the book has gone beyond the boundaries of fiction. It is often discussed not as a novel but as history. Leonardo da Vinci has achieved the rare status of being a real person, who has become so famous that he can be used as the key fictional figure in a major commercial success.
This notebook da Vinci in the British Library is known today as the Codex Arundel. It is not a bound volume, but was put together after his death from his loose papers of various types and sizes.
The first section was begun at Florence on 22 March 1508, but the remainder comes from different periods in Leonardo's life (1452-1519). This collection of Leonardo's notes contains short treatises, notes and drawings on a variety of subjects from mechanics to the flight of birds. They are written in Italian, and in Leonardo's characteristic 'mirror writing', left-handed and moving from right to left.
In addition to a fascination with the abstract geometry of the patterns of reflection, Leonardo was interested in the potential utility of concave mirrors as sources of heat. On the page shown here, Leonardo is arguing that in concave mirrors of equal diameter, the one which has a shallower curve will concentrate the highest number of reflected rays on to a focal point, and 'as a consequence, it will kindle a fire with greater rapidity and force'.
Little is known of this manuscript until it was acquired by Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel (1586-1646), the greatest English art collector of of his day. In 1681 it was presented to the Royal Society by Henry Howard, Arundel's grandson and transferred to the British Museum in 1831, and from there to the British Library.

Mintz, Mower, Mike combine for 58
Nov. 19, 2009
LORETTO, Pa. - Jared Mintz's near perfect effort on Thursday night at St. Francis (Pa.) and clutch three-point shooting by Jim Mower secured an 88-77 victory for Lafayette basketball at DeGol Arena. Mintz was 9-of-9 from the floor and 6-of-7 from the line for a career-high 24 points while Mower knocked down three crucial three-pointers in the second half and finished with a career-high 17 points.
The Leopards (2-1) featured a balanced scoring attack led by Mintz and Mower while Michael Gruner added 17 and as did Jeff Kari. St. Francis (1-2) was paced by a 30-point effort from Devin Sweetney who was 10-of -14 from the floor.
The Leopards started out slowly in the initial minutes of the game, trailing 13-5 four minutes into the game following Cedric Lattimer's three-ball. The Leopards ripped off 11 in a row with two buckets by Gruner and a pair of layups from Mintz. A back-and-forth half closed with an 8-0 spurt by the Leopards. Gruner's running bank shot from behind the arc as time expired gave Lafayette its biggest lead of the game to that point, 42-33, at halftime
In the opening minutes of the second half, Lafayette extended its advantage to 55-41, spurred by a Kari three, a pair of layups from Mintz and Tony Johnson's layup at 14:44. St. Francis cut the lead all the way to five by the 11-minute mark with a 9-0 run.
Two Mintz free throws stemmed the tide for Lafayette and started an important series. Darion Benbow picked up a steal that led to a transition bucket by Kari and another steal by Gruner, accompanying layup and and-one put Lafayette up 62-50 with 10 minutes left. Mower's three came less than a minute later and handed Lafayette a 65-52 lead.
St. Francis would not go away, however, again trimming the Lafayette advantage to five with five and a half minutes left to play. Sweetney scored nine points over four minutes. Lafayette led 70-65.
Mower knocked down a big three-pointer with 2:05 left that pushed Lafayette's lead to 79-69. Lafayette proceeded to close out the game with nine free throws in the final 1:17. The Leopards shot 66 percent from the floor for the game and finished with 21 assists to just 13 turnovers. The Leopards were also 18-of-21 from the stripe.
Lafayette's next game is Saturday when the Leopards venture down I-78 to Newark, N.J. to play NJIT.

Hopefully, folders are just the first step to adding Dropbox-like functionality with the security and particular features needed by lawyers.
Here's what you need to know about MyCase, from getting started to using the mobile apps with your clients.
Checking for conflicts should be part of your intake process, because if you miss one, you could be subject to disqualification or even discipline.
We go hands on with the new MyCase Quickbooks integration and Rocket Matter's revamped client portal. We also look at what these changes say about the long term visions of these tow practice management software providers.
This week practice management provider MyCase rolled out its Workflow tool to users. Workflows allow users to create a template of recurring tasks and calendar entries and apply them to matters with one click, and create the same tasks and calendar entries whenever necessary in a new matter.
MyCase is days away from launching a really cool new feature: Workflows. Workflows are date-based task templates. Here's the idea. Let's say you schedule a dispositive motion for August 28, 2013, in federal court. In Minnesota, that means your brief is due 42 days earlier, on July 17th. The response will be due 21 days […]
After using MyCase as our practice management software for a year, the shine has worn off and I see where the software needs to improve.
I take the new MyCase iPhone app for a spin.
Subtasks may not sound sexy, but coupled with MyCase's robust messaging (including on tasks), MyCase starts to look more like project management software than just practice management software. If you are working with a team, this would be pretty nice to have.
While Lawyerist may reach over a hundred thousand people, I have trouble making much of a referral connection between Lawyerist and my law practice.
Online practice management portal Clio has announced full integration with Google Drive and Google Docs. Users can create and link Google content to any matter.
Choosing practice management software wasn't easy, but we finally made our choice between Clio, Rocket Matter, and MyCase. But the reason may surprise you.
The difference between "old-school" practice management software and cloud-based practice management software, in a nutshell.
Total Attorneys is yet another competitor in the world of practice management software. But can it compete with Clio, Rocket Matter, and MyCase?
Practice management software become a must-have for our firm. So we take Clio, Rocket Matter, and MyCase for an initial test drive.

11/03/2013 – The two goal, one assist effort of Mikayla Goldsmith propelled the Saints to a 4-2 victory over Marygrove. The victory also secured the #3 seed in the upcoming WHAC Tournament as the Saints concluded the regular season with a 11-5-1 mark and a 6-2-1 record in league play. The Mustangs finished the 2013 season with a 0-9 record in the WHAC and a 3-15 record overall. The Saints will now host the #6 seed Golden Eagles of Cornerstone (9-6-2, 4-3-2 WHAC) on Wednesday starting at 2 p.m. The Saints defeated the Golden Eagles back on October 12th by the score of 2-0.
The Saints, who trailed 1-0 at the intermission, needed a second half rally to nail down the victory. Hannah Jablonski's first career goal knotted the match at one during the 49th minute of play. The goal was assisted on by Goldsmith who would later give the Saints a one goal lead as she tallied her second goal of the season at the 53:27 mark. Casey Westveer was credited with her third assist of the season on Mikayla's goal.
The 61st minute brought about the equalizer as Jessica Trimmer's goal tied the score at two. With the game hanging in the balance it was once again Goldsmith who proved to be the difference maker. Mikayla's second goal of the match at the 75:18 mark came via an assist from Ryanne James. The Saints salted the game away on a converted penalty kick by Westveer with less than six minutes to play to preserve the victory.
The Saints out shot Marygrove 27-3 and held a 15-1 advantage in corner kicks.

Registration as a Psychologist
The current requirements for registration as a provisional psychologist include the completion of four years of academic study of psychology that is recognised by the Psychology Board of Australia. The academic program usually consists of an approved undergraduate psychology sequence – such as Deakin's Bachelor of Applied Science (Psychology) – followed by an approved fourth-year of study (such as Deakin's Graduate Diploma of Psychology or honours in psychology).
Following successful completion of an approved fourth-year of psychology study, you may apply for provisional registration with the Psychology Board of Australia and associate membership of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
In order to gain full registration, provisional psychologists must then complete either two years of supervised practice, or a minimum two years of further study, which may include: Master of Psychology, Doctor of Psychology or a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) (with supervised practice completed outside the degree).
Entry requirements - general
Deakin University offers admission to undergraduate courses through a number of Admission categories.
In all categories of admission, selection is based primarily on academic merit as indicated by an applicant's previous academic record.
For more information on the Admission Criteria and Selection Policy visit The Guide.
Credit for prior learning - general
The University aims to provide students with as much credit as possible for approved prior study or informal learning which exceeds the normal entrance requirements for the course and is within the constraints of the course regulations. Students are required to complete a minimum of one-third of the course at Deakin University, or four credit points, whichever is the greater. In the case of certificates, including graduate certificates, a minimum of two credit points within the course must be completed at Deakin.
You can also refer to the Credit for Prior Learning System which outlines the credit that may be granted towards a Deakin University degree.
How to apply
Applications for campus and Cloud (online) study for Trimester 1 must be made through the Victorian Tertiary Admission Centre (VTAC). For more information refer to VTAC (external site).
Applications for Trimester 2 and Trimester 3 must be made directly to the University through the Applicant Portal. For information on the application process and closing dates, see the Apply web page. Please note that closing dates may vary for individual courses.
