Gillard shot Qantas down
Piers Akerman –, Monday, October, 31, 2011, (5:49am)
The claim by Prime Minister Julia Gillard and senior ministers to have been caught by surprise by the decision by Qantas CEO Alan Joyce to ground his fleet Saturday is either a confirmation of this Labor government's total incompetence or a bare-faced lie.
This government has form either way.
It lies and it is incompetent.

Calling Gillard a new Thatcher is sad joke
Piers Akerman –, Saturday, October, 29, 2011, (9:20pm)
Just over a year ago Prime Minister Julia Gillard said she would rather be watching children learn to read than attending diplomatic talks.
Whoops! That was before her personal popularity tanked and her government's polling sank through the basement floor.
Now her spin merchants are trying to position her as the Margaret Thatcher of our times, a strong decisive leader at home and abroad.
The only similarity is that both had handbags.
CHOGM, say some of the Labor cheer squad in Canberra, has thrown Gillard a lifeline. There are a number of flaws in this optimistic vision, least of all Gillard's self-confessed apathy toward foreign affairs.
In our immediate region, Gillard is seen as a complete joke. Think no further than her short-lived claim to have negotiated an asylum seeker deal with East Timor last year.
After grandiosely announcing her plan in October it emerged that she had only spoken to East Timor President Jose Ramos-Horta and not with Prime Minister Xanana Gusmao, who would have been responsible for selling the spur-of-the-moment notion to his nation.
The thought bubble didn't fly. As she ignominiously backed down Gillard claimed that East Timor was not the only nation with which she was talking. Papua New Guinea was also in the frame to provide an offshore processing centre, she claimed, hinting that Manus Island could be used.
That was until then PNG Foreign Affairs Minister Sam Abal said his government's position was that Manus Island would not be recommissioned.
Which left the hapless Gillard reaching out to Malaysia with her absolutely ludicrous catch-and-release scheme whereby Australia would accept 4000 genuine refugees after shipping just 800 boat people to Malaysia.
The High Court effectively scuttled that one with its decision on an appeal launched by refugee advocates. Some jurists see the court's bar on Malaysia as an outrageous over-reach by the justices, while others see it as a reflection of the responsibilities of the immigration minister as laid out in the Migration Act.
Be that as it may, in the mere nomination of Malaysia as a possible recipient of undocumented people smuggler clients Gillard again exhibited the underlying hypocrisy endemic to Labor's ham-fisted approach to government.
Prior to announcing the stillborn Malaysia Solution, Gillard had taken the not unreasonable position that she would not send asylum seekers to nations that had not signed the UN Refugee Convention.
This claim to principle was a reaction against the successful Howard government policy under which asylum seekers were sent to Nauru, which was then not a signatory to the convention.
Under the Howard government, the high-risk people smuggler trade stopped but Labor's ideological hatred of all things conservative made Nauru an impossible solution to accept. Nauru has now become a signatory to the convention but that does not alter things as far as Labor is concerned.
While standing on principle as far as Nauru went, Gillard was prepared to ditch principle when it came to Malaysia, and she has also dumped the Australian-initiated APEC as the preferred regional institution, opting for the new East Asian Summit.
The absence of India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh from CHOGM this week highlighted another black spot in Labor's diplomatic record brought on by its hypocrisy. Singh is not here because Kevin Rudd, who prided himself on both principle and his foreign policy credentials, reversed the Howard government's decision to sell uranium to India.
Rather stupidly, Rudd said last week that India was able to source its uranium elsewhere. This is a slap in the face for those trying to develop new markets for Australian uranium.
Labor bases its opposition to uranium sales to India on India's refusal to sign the UN Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, ignoring the reality that India has signed safeguard agreements, acceptable to both Canada and the US, under which it guarantees the purchases will be used only for the civil nuclear energy sector.
The hypocrisy here is monstrous. Australia sells yellowcake to China, which was the source country for the fissile material used by the North Koreans and the Pakistanis to develop their nuclear armouries.
The Rudd ban on India, supported by Gillard, is no more than a sop to Labor's Left and has created a running sore in our relations with the largest English-speaking democracy in the world, the globe's third-largest economy and a nation with which it is in our best interests to establish closer trade and diplomatic ties.
CHOGM reminds us of some of the common heritage the former British colonies enjoy. The Queen is a symbol of these ties but as an international forum it is largely irrelevant. Nations which don't play by the rules, like Zimbabwe and Fiji, don't attend and demonstrate they don't need to.
Next month, US President Barack Obama will briefly visit Australia for a photo opportunity with Gillard, which she hopes will give her the same sort of bounce in the ratings as the Queen's short stay.
It probably will but there is no doubt that it will also serve to remind many Australians that Obama has dumped his carbon cap-and-trading scheme, leaving Gillard and her government isolated.
The latest polls show that Obama is probably a one-term president, even though no Republican presidential candidate has yet emerged.
Next month Gillard will attend the G20 leaders meeting in Cannes.
She and Treasurer Wayne Swan have already lectured Europe on its debt problem.
If foreign affairs are Gillard's best hope, she should save us all the cost of her international air travel and stay at home. No one could possibly take this embarrassment on the world stage seriously.

Kevin '07's "free" school computers teach kids a costly lesson
Piers Akerman –, Thursday, October, 27, 2011, (5:23am)
Kevin Rudd's 2007 election promise to provide every school pupil with a computer has still not been delivered and where it has, it has cost plenty.
Parents are finding that if their children are lucky enough to get a laptop under the program, they may incur extra charges that neither Rudd nor the then Education Minister, Julia Gillard, mentioned.

On your bike, Clover, Sydney belongs to us
Piers Akerman –, Wednesday, October, 26, 2011, (5:23am)
The smelly unwashed Occupy Sydney rabble were moved by police out of Martin Place with barely a whimper.
The only squeal came from Lord Mayor Clover Moore who was offended that the State government had taken lawful action against the group who were clearly defying posted city ordinances against loitering and camping.

Bring on the Last Supper
Piers Akerman –, Thursday, October, 20, 2011, (5:08am)
Prime Minister Julia Gillard had union boss Paul Howes and assorted ALP and union officials to dinner Tuesday at Kirribili House, my colleague Simon Benson reports in The Daily Telegraph.
Howes, the head of the AWU, came sharply into focus last year when he stupidly appeared on national television claiming he had a role in the political assassination of the sitting prime minister, Kevin Rudd.

1000 for 1 is still a bad deal
Piers Akerman –, Wednesday, October, 19, 2011, (5:20am)
Swapping 1027 Palestinian criminals for 1 Israeli soldier might not represent great value for the Israelis at first glance but then the Palestinians are receiving the scum of the earth and the Israelis are righting a wrong.
Again, the Palestinians do not place much value on human life, let alone the lives of their own citizens.

Sam Gilliam's installation Flour Mill closes April 24.
Tag Archives: Sam Gilliam
Sam Gilliam on Inspiration, Part II
At Thursday night's in-gallery conversation with painter Sam Gilliam, curator Renee Maurer asked the artist what works in the Phillips inspired him. He smiled and answered, "Well, there are those magnolia trees in front of the museum."
Throughout the talk, it occurred to me that Mr. Gilliam cited experiences in nature as artistic sources almost as frequently as he did artworks, such as Kenneth Noland's April (1960) and Georges Braque's The Shower (1952).
I can understand why the museum's tulip magnolia trees are a source of inspiration for Gilliam. Each spring I eagerly anticipate the day that the pale pink blooms will burst forth and announce the arrival of a new season. To me, those trees directly mirror the movement, texture, and colorful monumentality of his installation.
Amanda Jiron-Murphy, In-Gallery Interpretation and Public Programs Coordinator
Sam Gilliam on Inspiration
Sam Gilliam spoke to oral historian Donita Moorhus in October 2010 about his thoughts when creating his site-specific work , Flour Mill, for The Phillips Collection stairway:
"I want to make the piece completely new. I want to give myself a break and not use past ideas but sort of launch something that I want to do. … One of the things that is interesting about [Arthur] Dove is the isolation he had, living in a certain place- I think he lived in a houseboat- or living off his own garden and living with a view sort of out the window, walking each morning, communicating with Georgia O'Keeffe, talking to other artists, and things like this, so that you see mini progressions, and you see a certain kind of openness, not the way that we necessarily work today…"
Gilliam will continue to explore this work's relationship to Dove in conversation with curator Renee Maurer at 6:30 pm tonight , March 31, in the galleries.

As a student at the Florida Institute of Technology in the late '60s, Mark Sivik was interested in biology -- especially bugs. And to him FIT's Colombian exchange program sounded like a chance to collect some exotic insects. So he signed on ostensibly as a guide for a project in which natives were brought out of the jungles of neighboring Brazil for corrective eye surgery at the institute. His plan worked, because while he was in the bush, he nabbed lots of bizarre-looking scarabs and rare moths.
His collection of a couple hundred specimens isn't large at all for an entomology buff, but these days Sivik gives away most of the bugs he captures. Now a high-school science teacher in Palm Beach County, he still makes trips to Colombia in search of insects, but the critters he donates to school science programs are local varieties caught during the Insect Adventure field trips he conducts.
Sivik takes groups of four people or so to orange groves in western Palm Beach County. He and his bug hunters -- who include middle-school students, photographers, and nature enthusiasts -- go after caterpillars, aphids, grasshoppers, and leaf-footed bugs, among others. Most are the kinds of bugs that are no friends of plants.
"They carry plant diseases, but they are very beautiful to look at," says Sivik. The back legs of leaf-footed bugs, for example, are shaped like citrus leaves. But when they feed on agricultural crops, they spread bacteria and viruses that kill the plants. Aphids, in particular, carry citrus viruses; other bugs do damage simply by munching on plants' flowers, fruit, or leaves.

"One of the things we found a lot of were chinch bugs," says Jacques Jamner, who recently went on a bug excursion with his 12- and 15-year-old sons. "They stay underneath the leaves, and [Sivik] knew exactly where to find them."
Participants are given the opportunity to catch bugs with nets and examine them under magnifying glasses. They can then "pickle" the bugs with nail-polish remover and glue them to the tips of pushpins set in a wooden display case -- a take-home trophy of sorts.
As multitudinous as bugs are, Sivik and his troops are not upsetting the balance of nature by capturing the bugs. In fact he points out that the plant-friendly insects -- like ladybugs, which eat aphids -- are spared. "We leave the good insects," he says.

Aseproce launches agency audit scheme
30 January, 2014
Spanish agency association Aseproce has moved forward with an independent audit scheme in an attempt to establish minimum standards and drive quality and customer confidence in the sector.
President of Aseproce, Juan Manuel Elizalde, said the audit system was addressing a regulation deficit in Spain's agency industry, which had seen too many "cowboy operators" over the years. "This process has to be done by a third party, an external group of professionals, so we changed regulations and worked with Lloyds Registrar," he said. "This will make customers realise they are dealing with reliable, professional companies."
The audit process examined five key areas of agency business: the company's legal and financial standing; verification of information given to clients regarding schools and programmes offered; contracts with educational partners; the selection process of agency-appointed staff accompanying minors including command of the appropriate language for the destination and criminal background checks; and customer satisfaction. The latter will be checked through contact with students and parents.
Aseproce will now commence a media campaign to highlight the value of agency regulation.
"We have to show that this is good for customers, and that they can be sure of quality if they use an Aseproce member."
The first audit was conducted in November, and Elizalde reports that all members passed with no problems. Having established minimum membership standards in the five areas with the first audit, the second year would be slightly more stringent, he added.
Aseproce is creating working groups to address any matters raised in the audits. One such project will be to create a central contract that Aseproce members can use with partner schools that are accredited within their respective national associations. Elizalde said he hopes to present the contact later this year.
Reaction to the audit process has been positive among educators, Elizalde confirmed. "Most of the schools are happy with this, giving us support with this extra step of quality."
As a result of the new audit process and another regulation coming into force that requires Aseproce members to publically declare whether they are making VAT payments, membership of the association has declined by around a third. However, Elizalde confirms that another five or six agencies have expressed an interest in joining or returning to the association as a result of the new quality measures.
The audit system is a realisation of Elizalde's goal when he was elected. "Three years ago when I became President, I wanted to offer quality standards and change the regulations to be audited by a third party," he said. "We gave ourselves four years to bring this audit scheme into effect, but actually we have done it within three years. A lot of work has gone into this, and I am very proud of my team and the members."
Elizalde said some elements of the third-party regulation scheme were unique in the industry, and that having been assisted by the French agency association Unosel, he was willing to advise and assist other associations within Felca and worldwide in adopting similar schemes.

The Dexplicit produced track is slated for a September 25 release and features prolific UK rapper SCORCHER (Geffen Records). 'It's A Problem' is already heating up the radio airwaves across the UK and is especially proving a big hit on urban radio with support from specialists DJ's Mista Jam, Target, DJ Cameo and Logo Sama.

PR: Pseudo Intellectuals and DTR Ink Revolutionary Deal
Courtesy of Kate @ DTR45.
As the East Coast recovers, a different force of nature is hitting Buffalo hard as we announce the signing of Pseudo Intellectuals to DTR45. The group - formally comprised of Tone Atlas, Nick Zero, and DJ Cutler - is an upbeat down tempo hip hop-jazz fusion outfit, but that description doesn't even begin to span the heights to which these cats can climb. "The creative partnership we came to will redefine a genre that both band and label have helped to shape, and open the door to a flood (no pun intended) of high calibre Buffalo-based hip hop music for years to come," DTR founder Tony Caferro stated.
"A group like no other," (RapReviews.com) The Pseudo Intellectuals is many ways returning to DTR45 after a decade long romp through the industry. In 2002, Pseudo provided a majority of the production for "Notes From the Underground", one of the most acclaimed DTR releases to date. Shortly thereafter they signed a deal with NYC indie label Fat Beats (as Pseudo Slang); and now years later, they've come back to their roots - a move that allows the band to stay true to their straight forward methods and messages while delivering that truth on a global scale.
The next few months will be busy for Pseudo, starting with the release of "Dope Grindwork", slated to drop in October 2011. Along with the prime performances and production of Pseudo's core, the album will feature Brownman Ali, VJ Brown and Duel of the Iron Mic's supercontender Dr. Ooo to name just a few collaborators. Additionally, several abstract side projects, as well as a full length release from the associated ensemble, The Chillharmonic Orchestra, and, of course, some new vinyl are all in the pipeline.
And with collaboration in mind in the truest sense of the word, this deal goes forward. This here is what they mean when they say match "made in heaven", so stay tuned. You won't want to miss what's coming.

Larue wants to achieve two goals with this project, make people laugh and keep everything rough, rugged, and raw. With the help of DJBooth and Dub MD, Larue was able to make the project come to life... With the collection of Samuel Jackson's best known quotes from 1972-Present Day, infused and brought to life by Columbus, Ohio's own DJ Bern on the cuts.

Watch Out For Tax Cut Fever
The great tax-cut stampede is on, and two things could get trampled underfoot: restraint and common sense. Conservatives, liberals, the Business Roundtable, and lobbyists of all kinds are demanding their fair share. A mindless, bloated, something-for-everyone tax cut may result. Before Washington gets swept away and does something that the country regrets for years to come, it might be wise to step back and consider a few simple truths.
First, no one really knows how big the budget surplus will be over the next 10 years. Mammoth tax cuts based on surplus projections for a decade are simply huge bets on a fiscal future that almost certainly won't exist. The same economists that are now projecting nearly $6 trillion in surplus not so long ago were predicting gargantuan deficits. They did not foresee the rise in productivity, and so missed the increase in the economy's potential noninflationary growth rate.
Similarly, no one really knows just how low--or high--taxes should be in the U.S. The country grew steadily throughout the 1980s when President Reagan made deep cuts in income taxes, raised defense spending, and added trillions to the budget deficit. The U.S. also grew strongly in the 1990s when Congress capped spending and Presidents Bush and Clinton raised taxes, creating big budget surpluses. It just may be that new technologies and globalization had a far greater impact on growth in both decades than fiscal policy did. The same could be true over the next 10 years.
Finally, no one knows what is fair in tax policy. It is incontrovertible that the top 5% pay more than half of all income taxes, while the bottom 50% pay only about 4%. In some states, the marginal rate is an egregious 50%. It seems only fair to trim the marginal rate on income taxes for those who pay most of them. Yet the working poor and lower middle class also carry a heavy tax burden. Three-quarters of the U.S. population pays more in FICA payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare than they do for income taxes. It seems equally fair to trim taxes for these Americans.
In light of all these unknowns, we urge Washington to stop the stampede. That means, above all, restraint in cutting taxes. Given the improbability of current projections for the surplus, President Bush should avoid the dozens of tax breaks lobbyists will want to attach to his bill and consider accepting a lower total tax cut in final negotiations with Congress.
Politicians invariably show solicitude for the middle class. But the truth is that the burden of the income tax falls most heavily on the rich, and the burden of the payroll tax falls most heavily on the working poor. They are the ones who deserve the most relief. If Washington cuts the top marginal rates on income taxes, it also should provide payroll tax rebates or credits against Social Security payments. Both these tax-cutting moves would be fair.
In his Senate testimony on Jan. 25, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan appeared to give his blessing to massive tax cuts that extend well into the decade. Despite his caution that predictions of budget surpluses are "subject to a relatively wide range of error," his benediction changed the political climate in Washington and set off a tax-cut frenzy that is now veering out of control. To introduce an element of restraint, it would be useful if Greenspan reiterated what he also said in his testimony--he prefers tax cuts but only if they are pegged to specific future budget surplus targets. It's time to get a grip.

Applying a theory of implicit and explicit knowledge to memory research
This commentary discusses how Dienes & Perner's theory of implicit and explicit knowledge applies to memory research. As currently formulated, their theory does seem to account simultaneously for population dissociations and dissociations between conceptual and perceptual priming tasks. In addition, the specification of four distinct memorial states (correlated with different recognition test responses) faces important methodological challenges.

Another good reason to use Linux instead for your home server:
Now, I see this scary little Microsoft knowledge base article (When
you use certain programs to edit files on a home computer that
uses Windows Home Server, the files may become corrupted when
you save them to the home server). As you might imagine, I use
several of those applications. All my data is stored on the home
server. Are you seriously telling me that my personal photo
collection might be corrupt, Microsoft? Really? Sorry. But this is
scary. Really scary.
Is this stuff doesn't freak you out, it should. It freaks me out. I
really, really like WHS and the HP MediaSmart Server specifically.
But I've got this growing concern about these products, and I just
need to communicate it. Is anyone else having any WHS issues? Is it
just me?
Update: There's also this WHS-related KB: Data files that contain
NTFS alternate data streams can be corrupted on a Windows Home
Server-based computer. This is related to the previous KB in that
applications like Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Live Gallery are
among those that use NTFS alternate data streams. Apparently, WHS has
no idea how to deal with these kinds of files, which can lead to
One has to ask why this is even an issue. Does Microsoft not do design
reviews and walkthroughs, where people are able to come up with problems
right up front, before this stuff is coded, let alone release to market?
Seriously, this is just totally amateurish, a very sloppy process.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information
in this article when the information becomes available. Until an
update for Windows Home Server is available, we advise the following:
* Do not copy data files that contain alternate data streams
to Windows Home Server shared folders.
* Do not use applications that use data files that contain
alternate data streams when those data files reside in a shared
folder on a Windows Home Server-based computer.

"As the sanctions against Iran are being lifted the British classification society Lloyd's Register is readying for a comeback to the country. Lloyd's Register told World Maritime News that they are able to provide classification services to Iranian-controlled tonnage and that the society will be re-opening its office in Tehran." (World Maritime News, "Lloyd's Register Returning to Iran." 1/16/2016).
"After coming under pressure from the United States, the ship classification society Lloyd's Register said in late April that it would close its office in Iran and stop certifying the safety of Iran's ships." (The Washington Post, "Iran, unable to sell oil, stores it on tankers," 5/14/2012)
"Lloyd's Register, a leading maritime risk management firm, has shut its operations in Iran and can no longer vouch for the safety of the OPEC member's fleet due to Western sanctions, the head of the company told Reuters. Lloyd's Register, a classification society that verifies the safety and environmental standards of vessels, has stopped assessing around 60 tankers and container ships owned by Iran's NITC and Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines following pressure from the United States... 'The Americans came to us and said that if we continued to work for the Iranians we would be blacklisted in America,' Richard Sadler, the London-based chief executive of Lloyd's Register, said on the sidelines of a conference in Singapore. 'There was a lot of confusion about the sanctions and actually the recommendations was that it was better for British classification societies within Europe not to be dealing directly with NITC,' he said." (Reuters, "Lloyd's Register withdraws from Iran due to sanctions," 4/26/12)
"However, other firms — notably Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas and Germanischer Lloyd — continue to provide services to Iranian and other vessels working in Iranian ports or waters." (Washington Post, "Congress sees shipping-certification firms as tool to tighten Iran noose," 12/5/2011)
Lloyd's Register has offices in the Iranian cities of Bandar Abbas, Mahshahr and Tehran. (Lloyd's Register website "List of Offices by Country," February 2010)
In 2008, Lloyd's Register America, Inc. acquired Martec, which has performed business in Iran's energy sector. (Martec Press Release)

I have 800 acres in Lake Butler that needs to be leased. The same group of guys have had it for five (very well managed) years with year round food plots and feeders. There is hogs turkeys and deer on the property.The cost is $10.50 an acre. The guys that did have the lease have fallen on hard times and are unable to keep the lease. This would be a great opportunity for some guys to step in and have there own little piece of heaven. I am very familiar with the property and love it. I would help organize it and be part of it (if needed or wanted) but I am to busy to lease it all by myself, I won't have enough time to hunt it all. I can possibly split it up into 2 400 acre blocks. Let me know if your interested this is a great opportunity.

In Wood County, we've been fortunate to have several good and competent county sheriffs during the past couple of decades. In some counties, regret has been expressed that good sheriffs have to be retired after two terms in office.
Regardless of how popular a sheriff becomes in West Virginia, eight years in office is the limit. Prior to 1973, the state Constitution held sheriffs to just one term. In that year, voters agreed to allow two consecutive terms.
Occasionally it is suggested the limit should be done away with entirely. Why should voters have to kick a good man or woman out of the sheriff's office in eight years, and take their chances on a newcomer?
Voters in the Nov. 6 general election will have the opportunity to decide whether the limit should remain locked in to state law. If they approve a change, sheriffs will be permitted to stay in office indefinitely, or at least until their counties' voters have had enough of them.
Therein lies the problem and the reason why the state's founders decided in the first place that there ought to be a term limit.
Sheriffs are among the most powerful office holders in local governments. They control both law enforcement and tax collections. That gives them control over many patronage jobs as well as, for the unscrupulous, the ability to have other influence over county employees and taxpayers. Some of the most powerful political machines in the state's history have been controlled by county sheriffs.
The longer a sheriff is allowed to remain in office, the more powerful and unbeatable at the polls he can grow.
That is reason enough to retain the limit of two consecutive terms for sheriffs.
Even with the limits, complaints about corruption centered on sheriff's offices are heard from time to time in some counties.
On Nov. 6, West Virginia voters would be well advised to retain the limits by voting "no" on the proposed constitutional amendment concerning sheriffs' tenures.

The Truckee cross-country team opened its season under a crescent moon and 32 light towers last Saturday night at the 7th Annual Nature's Bakery Nevada Twilight Classic held at Shadow Mountain Regional Park in Sparks.
The competition included more than 500 high school runners from 26 schools, including most of the large Division I schools in Northern Nevada and a number of Northern California powerhouses. It was held on 4 kilometers of mostly dirt trails around the perimeter of Shadow Mountain. UNR hosted a collegiate women's race as well.
Truckee junior Gabrielle Rinne led the varsity girls with a fifth-place finish in a time of 16:20. She was the top Division IA finisher, defeating the defending IA state champion, Shelbie Dorsa of Elko, who placed seventh.
Rinne was followed by her teammates Olivia Yale (18:13) and Michaela Welch (20:22). Without the minimum of five runners to comprise a team, a varsity team score was not tallied for the Truckee girls. Douglas won the varsity girls team award.
Freshman phenom Kyra Hunsberger (Reno) made her debut by setting a new high school meet record with a time of 15:29. Not only did Hunsberger outpace the 2011 D1 State Champion Lindsey Adams (Douglas), had she run the collegiate women's race, she would have placed fifth.
Among varsity boys, junior Noah Oberriter was the top performer with his 13th-place finish in 13:56. McQueen's Kai Benedict took top honors with a 13:10 finish. Other Truckee results included Nick Morgan (14:44), Ian Wilson (15:16), Simeon Murphy (15:19), and Holden Reed (17:44). Truckee boys placed 12th overall as a team, with Placer taking top honors in the varsity division.
The biggest story of the evening for Truckee was the dominance of its freshmen girls in the JV race. Nine of the 20 Truckee athletes racing were freshmen girls, a number that reflects the unprecedented size and depth of Truckee's talented freshman class.
National Junior Olympians in cross country Carrie Bradley and Claire LangRee crossed the finish line within one second of each other, placing third (17:41) and fourth (17:42). Teammates Amanda Rae (18:34), Syra Fillat (18:44), and Julia Veliquette (18:48) finished 10th, 14th and 15th, respectively.
Not only did Truckee have five top 15 finishers, they were also the only freshmen in the top 15. Truckee's JV girls took second place overall. Del Oro (Loomis, Calif.) took top honors, with a team that was triple the size of the Truckee contingent.

The Carriage House at the Mathematical Association of America offers modern meeting space in a classic setting. Located just two blocks from the Dupont Circle Metro Station, the Carriage House is easily within walking distance of the Dupont Circle's many restaurants and hotels. With three rooms to choose from, it is the ideal setting for small to mid-size meetings, workshops, and conferences.
The MAA Carriage House is located behind the MAA headquarters building. It stands alone as an entirely separate building, with its own entrance. The address is 1781 Church Street NW, Washington DC 20036. Please call for an appointment to take a tour.
Note: The Carriage House is not available to be rented on evenings, weekends, federal holidays, or during MAA's National Meetings, as follows:
To reserve the Carriage House for your next meeting, complete the Meeting Request Form, and return the form by email (firstname.lastname@example.com) or mail (Mathematical Association of America; Attn: Carriage House; 1529 18th St NW; Washington, DC 20036).
The MAA received a $3 million donation from Paul and Virginia Halmos to establish a Mathematical Sciences Conference Center in Washington, DC. The Association has restored the exterior to its former charm and renovated the interior completely.
For more information about Paul and Virginia Halmos and their gift to the MAA, please see "Major Donation Announced for New MAA Conference Center" by G.L. Alexanderson in the February 2003 FOCUS.
The Carriage House belonged to the residents at 1529 18th Street, and was built in 1892. It is older than the five-story townhouse where the MAA headquarters are currently located, which was completed in 1903. The MAA Carriage House would have been used by the owners as a livery stable and to house the family carriage, though little else is known about its history today. There are huge sliding doors that are characteristic of a carriage house as the entrance for horses and carriage. Iron rings can still be seen on an adjacent building, which were used to tie up horses. Perhaps the carriage house would have also been used as living quarters for a coachman, as was typical for the time period.

Police identify body found in field as 14-year-old girl
Dallas police have identified the body of a teenager found in a southeast Dallas field on April 4.
A passerby discovered Vivian Evon Saldana's body in the 9300 block of Teagarden Road, near Dowdy Ferry Road and Interstate 20. Saldana, who would have turned 15 next month, was a student at Nimitz High School, police said.
Her cause of death has not been released.
Detectives believe she was present during the murder of 27-year-old Jose Esquivel who was robbed and fatally shot March 22 in a Northwest Dallas parking lot. Esquivel was shot after he met another man in what was possibly a drug transaction, said Maj. Jeff Cotner of the crimes against persons division.
Witnesses at the scene of the shooting mentioned someone named "Swisher," which was Saldana's nickname, Cotner said. It's unclear whether Saldana was involved in the murder or was a witness, police said.
Anyone with information about either incident is asked to call Homicide detectives Brian Tabor at 214-671-3632 or Alberto Layton at 214-671-3659.

Henry Ford (1863 - 1947)
He is not a true man of science who does not bring some sympathy to his studies, and expect to learn something by behavior as well as by application. It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws. The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one. Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics; that is mixed mathematics. The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical.
Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
To have done anything just for money is to have been truly idle.
Books, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution - such call I good books.

The best iPhone 5 cases and covers
We test drive the best cases for Apple's latest smartphone
GADGET DESIGNER Apple's iPhone 5 is six months old, but that doesn't stop people from flocking to buy the firm's latest smartphone.
Popular it might be, but that doesn't mean the iPhone 5 is very resistant against scratches, smashed screens and grubby hands, so we've compiled a list of our favourite cases for the newest Apple smartphone. Over the past few weeks we've put all of the cases on our list through their paces, be it throwing our iPhone at a wall or showing it off while out and about.
The case for the traveller: Mophie Helium
The iPhone 5 might be a great phone, but as all users of the device will know it doesn't boast the most impressive battery life, often struggling to make it through an entire day. That's where Mophie's Juice Pack Helium comes in, an iPhone 5 case complete with a 1,500mAh battery. Ideal for people who travel a lot, the case, once switched on, provides enough power to boost your iPhone's battery back to full. It's not too big and bulky either, measuring 13 percent thinner than the firm's previous iPhone accessories.
Mophie's Helium iPhone 5 case is available now for £69.95.
The case for the quirky: Thunder Apparel bamboo case
For those after something a little bit quirky, independent clothing retailer Thunder Apparel is selling an iPhone 5 case made out of bamboo. Laser etched with a custom design that makes the case smell just as good as it looks, the case comes edged in a tough, soft-touch polycarbonate material to protect the iPhone against any nasty tumbles. It's not just a great case for the clumsy, as crafted from 100 percent natural wood it's ideal for the environmentally friendly, too.
Thunder Apparel's iPhone 5 case is available for £18.99.
The case for the businessman: Proporta aluminum and leather flip case
With its aluminum-lined leather flip iPhone 5 case, Proporta has seemingly looked at what businessmen want from a cover and delivered it. The case is one of the most luxurious-feeling on the list, pairing a textured leather front, with aluminum innards and a professional looking pinstripe lining, likely to appeal to business folk. Proporta also claims that the case offers "maximum protection and durability," so it will also appeal to the clumsy amongst you.
Proporta's leather flip case is available for £29.94.
The case for the girly: Joules hard case
Joules is best known for its feminine clothing and accessories, and the firm has branched out to bring this image to a range of iPhone 5 cases. We got our mitts on a stripy, pink-accented case, which also proved good at protecting our handset from chips and scratches as well as looking good. Joules' lineup also includes floral and animal print cases, perfect for girly iPhone 5 users.
Joules' iPhone 5 cases are available for £24.95.

Can I reserve my private lesson ahead of time?
Absolutely. Advanced reservation of our full-day and half-day private lessons allows us to connect you to the best instructor/start time to meet your needs. Private lessons requests can be made over the phone at 800-403-0206, or online.
How many people can take a private lesson at once?
All of our private lessons accommodate up to 4 people at no extra charge, however to give you the best experience we suggest that all persons attending the lesson are of matching abilities. Private lesson groups larger than 4 guests are required to hire an additional instructor.
Can I break up a private lesson between people?
Yes. Your time with your private lesson instructor can be divided any way you like keeping in mind that minors must always be attended by an adult. For example: if you purchase a full day private, your instructor can spend half the day with you and half the day with a friend or another family member as long as the children have supervision.
Can a private lesson instructor teach any ability level?
Yes, however, if there are multiple people skiing/riding together in one lesson the instructor will choose the terrain that is best suited to needs of the least experienced guest. When booking your private lesson the more you can tell us about what you want to do the better we will be able to pair you with the best instructor
Can both snowboarders and skiers attend the same private lesson?
This is not recommended, however it is doable. It is very difficult for an instructor to teach snowboarding while wearing skis, and vice versa. If a group of mixed disciplines would like to ride together in a private lesson we suggest hiring an instructor for each.
Are there any age restrictions in a private lessons?
No, our private lesson instructors can teach all ages, however we recommend matching ages and abilities in a private lesson. For children under 5 we suggest a maximum of 2 people in a private lesson.
What if I need to cancel or change my private lesson reservation?
Lessons cancelled after 1pm the day prior will incur a $15 cancellation fee. Same day/or no show cancellations are subject to the full charge of the lesson. For same day cancellations; if you decide to re-schedule for another day a $40 administrative fee will be incurred.
May I ski/ride at both Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows during my private lesson?
Yes! Your instructor can teach on both mountains. However, we require that you take a full day lesson if you want to explore both mountains.

Broadway road shows in Abilene break season ticket sales record
ABILENE, Texas - The Abilene Cultural Affairs Council kicked off its 2012-2013 Broadway Season Tuesday night and is boasting record-breaking season ticket sales.
More than 1,800 people attended Cirque Dreams Holidaze Tuesday night.
"We started with a holiday show and the entire series is pretty family friendly and I think people know they can pay quite a bit of money to go to the movies or they could pay just a little bit more and come see a really, really high quality show for the whole family," Director of Abilene Broadway Series & Special Projects Kimmy McNiece said.
The council has worked with Tulsa, Oklahoma-based company Celebrity Attractions to bring the best of Broadway to Abilene. Season ticket sales have been climbing steadily over the years but went up from 750 season passes to 809 season passes this year.
"We are extremely blessed to live in a community that is so supportive of the arts," McNiece said. "They [Celebrity Attractions] pick the four shows that are the lineup for the season and so they just come and tell us what shows are coming. Of course this season, literally as you can tell from the ticket sales, is the best lineup we've ever had to date."
McNiece attributed growing ticket sales to community outreach, sponsors and the family-friendly nature of the shows.
"We have West Side Story next and we have Monti Python's Spamalot and Elvis Lives," McNiece said. "We're just excited that the word is spreading about these really great shows."

Her namesake, the late Chief Warrant Officer John Allen MIDGETT, Jr. was born in 1876 in Rodanthe, North Carolina and served for nearly forty years with the U.S. Lifesaving Service and the Coast Guard. He was awarded the Gold Lifesaving Medal for his heroic rescue of 42 crewmen from the torpedoed British tanker MIRLO in 1918. Bos'n Midgett and his lifeboat crew rescued the entire crew, despite rough seas and flames from the tankers cargo of refined oil and gasoline. J.A. Midgett, Jr. was also one of seven of Midgett family members to have been awarded the nations highest award for saving a life - the Gold Lifesaving Medal. More than 150 living members of the Midgett family have made the Coast Guard a career, including more than thirty still on active duty.
USCGC MIDGETT is the twelfth and last of the Coast Guard's fleet of 378-foot High Endurance Cutters. She is the third in her class (HERO) to be named for outstanding Coast Guardsmen. Coast Guard Cutter Midgett keel was laid 05 April 1971 at the Avondale Shipyards in New Orleans, Louisiana and she was launched on 04 September 1971. She was then commissioned on 17 March 1972. She was decommissioned and placed in Fleet Renovation and Maintenance (FRAM) on 07 January 1991 and was placed in "In Commission Special" status as of 25 April 1992. MIDGETT was fully re-commissioned in February 1993.
USCGC MIDGETT is a multipurpose ship, designed to meet the many and varied missions of today's Coast Guard. Her responsibilities include Homeland Security, Search and Rescue, Maritime Law Enforcement, and Alien Migrant Interdiction Operations as well as maintaining military readiness in support of our NATO allies and the U.S. Navy. One of ten high endurance cutters on the west coast, her normal patrol areas include the Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska and Central American waters, enforcing the Magnuson Fishery Conservation and Management Act (200 mile limit) and drug interdiction laws. MIDGETT, with a crew of 24 officers and 160 enlisted men and women, is homeported in Seattle, WA and is under the operational and administrative control of Commander, Pacific Area (COMPACAREA).

LITTLE FALLS, N.Y.�� The Little Falls Mounties search for a victory is over. For the Mt. Markham Mustangs, the search goes on.
Little Falls triumphed 14-13 at home Saturday in a meeting of winless Class C East foes. The Mounties (1-4, 1-4, C East) took the lead in the middle of the fourth quarter and held on when Mt. Markham (0-5, 0-4 C East) was unable to convert on a two-point try following a late touchdown.
Little Falls pinned Mt. Markham deep in its own end with a punt to start the fourth quarter and forced the Mustangs to kick the ball back from their 15-yard line. Taking possession at their 47, the Mounties marched down the field in seven plays, including runs of 11 and 14 yards by Devin Dawley. Travis Dawley�s 10-yard run set up first-and-goal and he scored from five yards out on the next play.
Leading for the first time at 12-8, the Mounties went for two points and Travis Dawley, who had also scored the team�s first touchdown, ran in the conversion.
Mt. Markham responded with a scoring drive of its own, marching 60 yards in six plays with the help of a facemask penalty against the Mounties. The Mustangs faced second down only once on the drive and pulled within one point on Mike Tanzillo�s two-yard touchdown run. Looking for the lead, the Mustangs also opted for a two-point try and Tyler Ostrander�s throw landed beyond the reach of Eric Taylor-Holmes.
Trailing 8-6 at halftime, the Mounties made a defensive stand in the middle of the third quarter and kept the margin at two points. Starting at midfield, Mt. Markham drove down the field and had a first down at the Little Falls 2. A false start pushed the Mustangs back five yards and a hold on Tanzillo�s would-be seven-yard touchdown run moved them back five more. Two short runs left Mt. Markham with third-and-goal from the 11 where Ostrander�s pass went over Taylor-Holmes and landed incomplete.
The Mustangs lined up for a 29-yard field goal try By Dillion Bleaking and faked it. Adam Rodick took the snap and raced toward the left end of the line where he was grabbed from behind by Devin Dawley for a four-yard loss.
Mt. Markham fumbled the ball away on the game�s second play from scrimmage but drove 74 yards for the game�s first score when it got the ball back. Senior linebacker Josh Fargo lined up in the backfield and plowed into the end zone from one yard out with Bleaking adding the extra point on a kick.
The key play on the drive was a 22-yard Ostrander-to-Kyle Yager pass on third-and-22.
Little Falls� first points came on a drive that started at the Mt. Markham 43 in the middle of the second quarter. Travis Dawley ran 31 yards for the touchdown on his first carry of the game. The Mounties faked a kick on the extra point and Derek Raux�s pass fell incomplete, leaving Mt. Markham with a two-point lead.
Page 2 of 2 - The clock started running early on the ensuing kickoff and 48 seconds ticked off before Little Falls� coaches got it stopped. The game�s officials opted not to put time back on the game clock and left Mt. Markham with 2:27 when the next drive started at the Mustangs� 36. Taylor-Holmes ran 22 yards on the first play and Ostrander threw a six-yard pass to Josh Urtz to extend the drive on fourth-and-four from the Mounties� 35. Hurrying to beat the clock, the Mustangs would advance no further as Ostrander was sacked first by Zack Crane and later by Andy Mucica on two of the final three plays of the half.
Travis Dawley ran for 72 yards on eight carries for Little Falls. Devin Dawley had 20 carries for 64 yards and threw a 10-yard pass to his cousin out of the Mounties� wildcat package.
The Mounties are bringing in portable lights for Week 6 and will play at home Friday night against Morrisville-Eaton/Hamilton. Adults will be charged $1 for admission to the 7 p.m. contest to help offset the cost of renting the lights.
Mt. Markham will also play at home Friday when the Mustangs take on Holland Patent.

Professor Robin Grimes, director of London's Imperial College Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre in Nuclear Engineering, spoke with deputy editor Tim Probert about his views on nuclear power plant lifetime extensions, Generation IV nuclear reactors and the prospects for a nuclear renaisssance on 11/01/2010. The interview in it's entirety can be found here.
PEi: The nuclear power sector has had a somewhat chequered history from an engineering point of view. Is the industry ready to succeed in a largely 'liberalized' energy sector?
Grimes: In the early years of the nuclear power industry, reactor designs were usually for a safety case of 20–30 years, and latterly 40 years. As we've learned more over the years and designs have changed, the design criteria can be lengthened. There are a number of reasons for this.
We have better materials, we have a better understanding of scheduling maintenance, and we can design structures with the replacement of parts in mind.
The designs of the reactors are different, but we've learned a lot from previous designs. From new designs, we have learned how to extend the lives of existing reactors. This is particularly important financially, because once you've paid for the reactor, additional years are very lucrative, as the debt has been paid off.
In the UK, however, it is more problematic due to what I call 'The British Issue'. Because the UK was first out of the blocks in designing commercial nuclear reactors – i.e. the Magnox reactors – we built each of those designs slightly differently, even down to the fuel cans. Of course, from an engineering point of view, this was not terribly efficient. When the UK moved on to the AGRs (advanced gas-cooled reactors), it still designed bespoke reactors, but at least the fuel was consistent.
Grimes: Nuclear plants are very profitable as long as the electricity price is maintained. What did for British Energy was a low electricity price, which left them with a fleet of reactors that did not make much money.
Grimes: I just don't think that's politically acceptable. The progress made by the nuclear industry over the past five years by convincing people that nuclear is a necessary option has been remarkable, but I don't think an incentive is possible at this point in time.
Grimes: China is going to build an astounding number of new reactors and yet nuclear power will still only make up a relatively small proportion of its total generating capacity. And yes, it is a state issue. If they want something to happen, it will happen. Of course, it's completely different in the West, as the power industry here needs to generate revenue, which is why its nuclear renaissance will take a different route.
Grimes: People in conventional nuclear engineering always like to say that, but it's a little unfair. Nuclear fusion has actually made tremendous progress; it's just a hell of lot more difficult than people at first appreciated…

History of First Friday in Philadelphia
Old City is one of the most historic neighborhoods in America. dating back to 1691. Once a busy commercial waterfront district, by the early 1970's many of the industrial properties gave way to artist lofts and gallery spaces. A thriving creative niche began to appear through the 80's and 90's including galleries, design groups and architecture firms. With a flourishing artistic community came restaurants and retail spaces that transformed Olde City into the lively neighborhood it is today.
In 1991, a few galleries decided to collaborate with one another to make their works available to the community and united under the non-profit organization Old City Arts Association – . with members like theatre companies, artist's cooperatives, workshops, schools, dance companies, design showrooms, and museums. Beginning to sound like the First Friday we know and love?
The open-house feel of the galleries that provided free snacks and wine quickly became popular and began to draw aspiring artists and buskers to the sidewalks. As you dip in and out of open galleries, you'll find everything from unique jewelry, hand-made crafts, or even a man playing an accordion.

The epic storytelling of The Hobbit
The first installment of Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy hits theaters on December 14. As previously discussed on TG Daily, although there's a big built in audience for the Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings (LOTR) movies have made a reported $2.9 billion world-wide, Warners has also invested a reported $500 million in filming and marketing the Hobbit trilogy, making this project a big roll of the dice.
"We had the right to use that material as well... So this is The Hobbit supersized," he added.
If you still can't get enough of The Hobbit, we recently confirmed on TG there will be an extended version of An Unexpected Journey hitting store physical and virtual store shelves about a year from now. Imagine when The Hobbit trilogy is completely finished and released and they can set up marathons of the whole series that should run at least a day or two, maybe even longer with the extended home versions.

The Catholic tradition understands the importance of material elements and tangible actions in Sacramental life: water and oil are used in the Baptism ceremony; in Matrimony, the bride and groom pronounce publicly their vows to one another, etc. Likewise, the Church recognizes the importance of a personal relationship in a Christian's desire to receive forgiveness for his or her sins.
Meeting a priest to ask for forgiveness of one's sins allows the Christian to both express sorrow and receive counsel in one's faith life and desire to live as a follower of Christ. The Church calls this process the Sacrament of Reconciliation (formerly referred to as "confession" or "penance"), since through it the Christian is able to ask, and receive, reconciliation with the always-loving God.
Priests are available in the Reconciliation Chapel in the ssouthwest corner of the church Saturdays from 3:45–4:45 pm and as available or by appointment. Communal Reconciliation Services are held during Advent and Lent.

The kind of budgets people will come up for you when they want you to move to an expensive town. The name comes from the fact that the people are only factoring in basic expenses such as rent, utilities, and maybe a car payment. This assumes that you live like a monk or nun, because they seem to figure that you never go out and eat very little or not at all.
I was duped into moving to that fancy resort town by being shown a budget that made it look like I could afford to live there. This was a true monk/nun budget because as soon as my car broke down I was out of luck.

The history of the station and its founder, Richard Archbold, will be presented by Fred Lohrer, at a special Founder's Day celebration open to the public on Feb. 9.
Lohrer will lead visitors down the "Walk Through Time" historic trail, opened in 2012, revealing behind-the-scene-facts about Archbold and the legacy he and his family built at Archbold Biological Station.
Sign-in begins at 1:45 p.m. and the one-hour walking tour follows at 2 p.m. A suggested donation for the tour is $5 per person.
Richard Archbold moved to the former John A. Roebling Estate in February 1941 and established the station, now celebrating 73 years as a biological field station.
"Many folks in the local community have heard about Archbold; some of the long-time residents even knew Mr. Archbold and have fond memories of him," Lohrer said. "Yet, when it comes to knowing the how, why, and what about Archbold Biological Station, the public is less aware of the great research, conservation, and education contributions that have been since 1941, and are still being made in the local community, region and state."
The public is invited to arrive earlier in the day to take advantage of the picnic area, weather permitting, to enjoy the sights and sounds of the scrub.
The self-guided Walk Through Time Historic Trail is open to the public daily. A special Walk Through Time history brochure is available at the Learning Center to aid visitors in making the most of their trail experience.
Archbold Biological Station is 8 miles south of Lake Placid. The entrance is 1.8 miles south of S.R .70 on Old S.R. 8.
