Date Climbed: Feb 14, 2011
|False Polish to Colera. A lot of death the day prior to our summit. Poor decisions + Altitude = "Not Good" The previous days disasters unfortunatley dampened my joy of the summit. Not likely a mountain I would repeat however. Well, maybe just for the excuse to visit Mendoza!

|Polaco-Guanaco-Normal route
Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2011
|Had intended on going via Polish Traverse, but conditions suggested traversing from Polish camp 1 to ´Guanacos 3´, then up to Colera at 5970m, more likely to be successful. So I modified my plans and went that route. I was holed up for 3 days at Polish camp 1 in terrible storm which sadly claimed the lives of 3 climbers higher up the mountain. However, things then improved and I was fortunate to summit on an unusually calm day on 17th Feb.

|After 12 days during which I visited Confluencia, Plaza Francia, Plaza de Mulas, Cerro Bonete, I climbed Cerro Aconcagua overnighting 2 times at Nido de Condores and 2 times at plaza Colera. Wonderful day after a windy night (70 - 80 km/h) with -20°C and wind at 40 km/h along the big traverse. Magnific view of the south wall and of all the mountains around; it was possible to see also the Earth curvature from the top!

|Polish Route. Spent 3 nights at 20,400'? on the side of the Polish glacier. 1st day= 5 summit. 2nd day= 5 turn back-snowing hard. 3rd day= myself and 2 guides break 2' fresh powder. Half way to summit on steep slope we hear the "Womph" and I feel the snow settle. Lucky=no avalanche=we should NOT have been there. Now I know to dig a pit to test the snow. 31 days on the mountain and only saw 2 other people besides our group of 13!

Date Climbed: Jan 24, 1992
|I climbed Aconcagua with a commercial Tour, but was lucky to do it with patrick Berhault, so it was an incredible beautiful time I had during this trip. We did it via the "falso polaco" route encountering some pb at high camp where we had to wait 3 days long, but finally made it. Not a difficult climb for sure compared to many others, even other Argentinian 6000m peaks. Alas the mountain become more and more overcrowded, but it remains the highest of the andes. Still, it's a dangerous mountain because.... normally, it's an easy one!be careful!

text: It was announced today that beginning 5/15/12 the Texas Gulf would be closed to shrimping from the coast out 200 miles until at least 7/15/12 to allow the shrimp to grow to a better size. I'm sure glad I grilled shrimp Saturday. I do understand that this is the best practice for both sustainable fishery goals and the shrimping industry but I will miss my summer shrimp a lot.

Baseball can seem slow-moving and pastoral to some observers, but when it erupts, watch out.
Last Saturday in Baltimore, frustrated Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, a.k.a. Big Papi, smashed a dugout telephone with his bat, with such fury that he almost clubbed his fellow star, Dustin Pedroia.
Fortunately, Mr. Pedroia had the presence of mind to duck and cloak his head in a towel, shielding himself from shards of exploding phone and bat.
Such behavior might well get a mere mortal arrested, but Major League Baseball reportedly forgave Mr. Ortiz this time � in part, perhaps, because the umpire was clearly wrong in calling a ball a strike, taking away Big Papi�s walk and leading to his striking out.
Meanwhile, the event offered some much-needed comic relief in a long season of tension. Two of Mr. Ortiz�s teammates rigged up a substitute phone with Del Monte cans and string. And Boston�s new archrival, the Tampa Bay Rays, sent out a Tweet: �WANTED: Steel alloy telephone with Kevlar cord. Will spare no expense. Must install by Sept. 10.� That is the date the Sox next play in Tampa Bay.
There�s ultimately no excuse for such violence, of course. But many an amateur athlete who has snapped a golf club over his or her knee may feel some sympathy for Big Papi�s wrathful assault on Ma Bell.

President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle are too young to remember, but I'm sure two former presidents and their wives do. Quintessential baby boomers George and Laura Bush and Bill and Hillary Clinton don't agree on much, but there is one thing about which I am certain the couples can agree: When the Beatles first appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show 50 years ago, their worlds collided in a frenzy of screams and lifelong dreams.
That's not to discount other watershed events of the '60s, such as the Kennedy assassination, the war in Vietnam, or landing on the moon. But when John, Paul, George and Ringo first belted out their songs on American soil, I'll bet you a dozen electoral college votes that everything changed for all of them that night, just like everything changed for me.
Sunday night, Feb. 9, 1964, an estimated 73 million of us -- an astonishing 40 percent of the available audience, equal to around 125 million in today's viewership -- watched four English lads pound musical history into our lives. The Beatles had arrived, and with them came a sense of joy, "Yeah, yeah, yeah," and relief. Only 10 weeks earlier, we had been mourning the murder of JFK.
Before the Beatles invasion, teenage boys sported closely cropped hair, our favorite bands included the Everly Brothers and the Beach Boys, and we still were getting used to Lyndon Johnson. Suddenly, none of that mattered. By Monday morning, change was in the air. Many of us headed off to school that day having decided to let our hair grow longer. "I Want to Hold Your Hand" was rocking the charts, and few paid attention to the new president. Sociologists said this phenomenon would pass in a few months. Boy, were they wrong.
Within a year, sideburns were bushy, Beatles paraphernalia had flooded the marketplace, and that war without heroes quietly advanced. By the time I graduated from Cubberley High School in Palo Alto in 1966, I was a self-appointed Beatles know-it-all ("... the real meaning behind the banned record cover is ...") and a troubled believer in Vietnam. With the release of "Eleanor Rigby," social commentary played an ever-increasing role in their music.
Four years of college at USC proved challenging yet disillusioning. The Beatles introduced their magical mystery tour as the nightly news simultaneously broadcast the horrors of Indochina into our homes. Beards soon replaced sideburns, and campus riots replaced sock-hops. Songs like "Give Peace a Chance" and "Hey Jude" weren't simply mega-hits; they were America's new national anthems. Just like George W. Bush and Bill Clinton, my boomer contemporaries, I managed to avoid fighting in Vietnam (despite being selected No. 1 in the 1969 draft lottery).
These were changes that, if you were 20-something at the time, you spent much of your time absorbing or avoiding. I don't know which of these the former presidents embraced. All I know is the changes were real for me and my generation.
In the beginning, John, Paul, George and Ringo personified baby boomers' brightest hopes. The Beatles bridged the gap between black and white, and young and old. Through them, suburbia discovered drugs and the Boston Pops discovered rock 'n' roll. Toward the end of their run, the idyllic images turned to nightmares, much as "Michelle" gave way to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
Some music experts claim the Beatles were responsible for widening the intellectual boundaries of rock, thus making it a more flexible and acceptable art form. I am clearly not smart enough to know whether this is true or not. But I know how music changed, and I know you can hear it in almost every song out today, be it country, hip-hop or just plain pop.
No one can turn back the clock, so trying to "get back to where you once belonged" is a futile exercise. As the great P.J. O'Rourke recently wrote in Time Magazine, "The majority of Americans alive today hadn't been born yet in the 1960s. But we of a certain age (the age that grips levers of power, pulls strings of purse and has the biggest mouth) can't stop reliving each moment.
"Partly it's the poignancy of the decade. It started so well. Handsome young couple in the White House, recovery from the 1960 recession, the Pill, upbeat message movies like '101 Dalmations' and 'Spartacus,' Hugh Hefner's illuminating 'Playboy philosophy' and the clean-cut Kingston Trio leading sing-alongs in short-sleeve shirts with big, wide, cheerful stripes.
"Then it went so wrong. Shooting and killing and troops in combat gear, not only in Watts and Detroit but all the way over in Khe Sanh, South Vietnam. Feminists were suddenly angry for some, as far as men could tell, feminine reason. I had to maintain a C average to avoid the draft. Turns out you can't fly after you take LSD. There was a war on poverty. We lost. And it rained at Woodstock."
All true, P.J., but those changes, in ourselves and in our world, are what we have in common. They are what the Beatles symbolized for me, for two former presidents and their wives, and for us all.
Denny Freidenrich was 15 and a Palo Alto resident when the Beatles arrived in America. He writes from Laguna Beach.

Baseball - Varsity
Baseball is one of the first programs Chase had when it opened in 1865 and it is safe to say that the program is alive and well. The Varsity Baseball program is a member of two leagues: Connecticut Independent School Athletic Conference (CISAC) as well as the Housatonic Valley Athletic League (HVAL).
The Highlanders have claimed 20 league titles over the years in each conference. The CISAC championships came in 1996, 1997, 200, 2001, and 2002) while the HVAL titles were in 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1993, 1994, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, and 2008.
According to legendary coach, Ray Behr the program has been fortunate to have such dedicated players: "We have kids who always want to improve and love competing," said Behr. "Our winning tradition is because the kids understand the value of hard work and know what it takes to win."
For more information on the baseball program at Chase, please contact coach Steve Behr at email@example.com

Watch the video "Hoosiers Power the World"
In summer 2012 a team of thirty-two linemen and supervisors from 17 Indiana co-ops traveled to the rugged mountains of northwestern Guatemala. Their mission? To bring the miracle of power and light to three remote villages.
The Guatemala mission was a partnership between NRECA International Foundation (Foundation) and the Indiana Statewide Association, and represented a first for both organizations.
For everyone, it was a challenge quite different from any other they had faced before. The terrain was rugged, the working conditions primitive and the environment treacherous. At times the linemen were quite literally working in the clouds that covered the mountaintops.
The "Hoosier" crew met this challenge by constructing twenty miles of power lines (primary, secondary and service drops) across gorges, over mountains and above the jungle canopy to bring electricity for the first time to over 1,000 men, women and children, and change the lives of everyone involved at the same time.

STOCKTON - The City Council picked a new city manager on Saturday to replace Bob Deis, who retired last week, but the name remains a tightly held secret until early this week.
Mayor Anthony Silva in a phone interview declined to name their choice after interviewing two finalists Saturday afternoon.
"As mayor of the city of Stockton I have been authorized by the council to negotiate a contract with a candidate for city manager," he said. "We will have a formal announcement and more details early next week."
The new city manager will take on a city battling crime and working its way out of a historic bankruptcy. The course of both will be largely determined by Tuesday's vote on a 3/4-cent sales tax measure.
Deis, 57, began July 1, 2010 and led the council through millions in budget cuts and eventually into bankruptcy court. He earned $240,000 annually in base pay.
With his retirement on Thursday, Deis hands off the next stage of Stockton's financial recovery to his successor.
On Saturday, the council convened in closed session at the Stockton Hilton. They were joined by four department heads during the two interviews. The council alone chose its finalist.
Deputy City Manager Kurt Wilson will serve as Stockton's interim city manager until the new person signs a contract and moves to town to start work.

Heart Disease Health Center
Blood Test May Detect Heart Damage Years Before Symptoms Appear
Lowering Troponin T Levels May Lower Heart Risks
In the second study, of more than 4,000 adults over age 65, two-thirds had detectable levels of troponin T on the highly sensitive test, even though they had no history of heart failure.
"There are very low levels of troponin in seemingly normal people," says study author Christopher R. deFilippi, MD, a cardiologist and associate professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. "That's the scary thing about this scenario. Our study participants were older, but they had none of the traditional risk factors."
And as in the previous study, deFilippi and his team found that the higher a person's troponin T level, the greater their risk of developing heart failure or dying from heart disease.
Over an average follow-up of about 12 years, people with the highest levels had a fourfold greater risk of developing heart failure and a threefold greater risk of dying of cardiovascular problems, compared to those with undetectable levels.
In contrast to the previous study, deFilippi and his team repeated the troponin T test every two to three years, so they were able to see how study participants fared if their levels changed over time. Those whose levels were detectable at the beginning and increased by 50% or more had about a 60% increased risk of developing heart failure or dying compared with those whose levels remained stable.
Study participants who saw their levels drop by at least 50%, on the other hand, had about a 30% drop in their risk of heart failure or death, suggesting that there may be ways people can change their troponin T levels and influence their fate.
If further research confirms his results, deFilippi says he thinks the highly sensitive troponin tests would be a cost-effective, patient-friendly way to catch chronic disease.
"It's not a big MRI or a CT scan you have to get into," deFilippi says. "The test runs on the same equipment labs currently use and the cost is no different. I think it's about $12."

Staples ad denounces "lies from Obama," Pauken endorses Patterson
Lieutenant governor candidate Todd Staples has begun running TV and radio ads statewide on his favorite topic — how politicians have failed to seal the Texas-Mexico border.
Also on Monday, former gubernatorial hopeful Tom Pauken looked past Staples and two others to endorse Jerry Patterson for lieutenant governor.
There are only 35 days until early voting begins in the March 4 primary, as a Staples release noted.
The four GOP rivals for lieutenant governor soon will unload their remaining campaign cash on ads and efforts to mobilize Republicans to turn out. How much money they have to spend will be revealed in reports due on Wednesday. Staples has enjoyed a money edge, though incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst has 12 years of chits to call in and may move into the lead. Dewhurst also has a large personal fortune to tap, if need be.
Patterson, the current state land commissioner, is considered the most lightly funded of the four.
But the Pauken endorsement, following last week's endorsement of Patterson by former presidential candidate Ron Paul, is part of his unconventional approach.
On Monday, Patterson told the Texas Business Roundtable that he will make a May runoff with Dewhurst.
"We're running a very thorough grass roots campaign," he explained later to reporters.
"We're mobilizing gun bubbas, veterans … Ron Paul followers."
Pauken hailed Patterson's work to pass a concealed handgun permit law and to assist veterans in buying homes. Pauken, a former state GOP chairman who headed the Texas Workforce Commission in recent years, said Patterson's leadership style would expand the ranks of "our conservative movement."
Pauken said Patterson's "the best, conservative, constitutional candidate to serve Texas as our next lieutenant governor."
Staples, a two-term Texas agriculture commissioner, claims he has the "strongest record" of the four on a top concern for staunchly conservative primary voters — immigration.
A Staples release said, "He stood up for Texas property owners living near the border who were being chased off their land by deadly drug cartels and challenged President Obama on numerous occasions to take action."
In his new 30-second TV spot and a 60-second radio ad, Staples assails politicians of both parties for the state's porous border. But he gives a little extra attention to House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and President Barack Obama. He notes immigration's on the lips of many politicians in Washington.
"They're proposing more of the same — more amnesty, more liberal solutions and more lies from Obama," Staples says. "On border security, the politicians from both parties have let us down."
Here's the spot, which the Staples camp said "will air from now until Election Day" and "will appear in media markets across the state." It did not elaborate.

OMG!!! we have missed so much not coming on here!! Tillyfloss, Gemz and Wheelie congratulations ladies, so so pleased for you!!
Wheelie, sorry to hear about your PND, I had it too but recognised it straight away and went onto my old depression pills and was fine a few weeks later. I am sorry you struggled so much but so glad you are reaping the benefits now and how lucky are you to have just ttc the once and it happened straight away If you do get PND again then at least this time you will recognise it and can go straight on the medication hun. I am sure you will find things alot easier the second time round. Glad to hear Louis is getting on well and yes Toddlers are fab, much better than babies! Alex is doing really well and seems to be on target for everything but speaking. I had heard some boys are a bit slower at talking than girls so have relaxed about it now and am no longer worried. He is however becoming fiercely independent to the point where I struggle with him sometimes getting him to do what I want; like changing a nappy, wow thats a struggle which involves me having to pin him down lol!! I need another couple of hands I think. He is such an amazing little boy and I love him to bits. DH and I started TTC again last august but we didn't realise that because we didn't have sex for the whole of my pregnancy and very little after Alex was born his sperm count went down even lower than the 20mil it was and the swimmers all stopped swimming Our Dr has told us it is likely we will need IVF but we haven't given up and he has gone back on the miracle pills he took last time and we have seen a slight improvement after a couple of weeks so hoping for more of an improvement in the next few months. I was hoping to have a 2012 baby but alas was not meant to be. Do you remember Neph and Nancy?? Nancy had little ethan, I can't remember her username. Well they are both pregnant and actually I think Nancy is due around the same time as you - I will direct her here. So great to hear from you, will try and post a link to a picture of alex for you. will also try and pop on here more often. We have a group on the 'whatsapp' application on our smart phones now. If you have one then e-mail me on clark underscore alice at hotmail dot co dot uk with your mobile number and I will add you. you wud need to download the whatsapp application on your mobile first - works on iphone, blackberry and andriod so any of you 3 ladies are welcome to e-mail me. By the way some of the group met up last year and we are having another meet in Chester in June when I am in the UK. if you want details let me know. Hugs x x x

Wow congratulations Wheelie! So sorry that you've had such a tough time but really pleased to hear you're coming out the other side. At least with baby no.2 you can prepare a bit more easily and will be much more aware of your PND although there's nothing to say it will happen again. As Alice says we've a group on FB and Whatsapp which has been a fantastic place for support as well as a few giggles! It would be wonderful if you could make our meet up.
All great with me and Olivia. She's a bright little think who is chattering away and learning so much everyday. Can't believe they're all gonna be 2 this year, the time just flies by.

Thought I would update those of you not on facebook or whatsapp Alex is doing great, he has such a good memory, loves to read and loves Thomas the Tank Engine!! His talking hasn't improved he basically garbles rubbish but non stop From the minute he wakes in the morning through till bedtime he is never quiet. I decided that I have been doing too much for him so have been trying to let him do things more himself. I still feed him his breakfast as he has porridge or weetabix and as I always make it too runny he would just slop it everywhere so I feed that to him and he does his other two meals and all his snacks. He is a great eater and will happily sit at his little table and eat all his food. He is also a great sleeper and at the moment is having a 2 hour nap every day from 1 - 3pm and sleeps 7pm through till 7am without waking in the night. I think he probably wakes earlier than 7 but is happy to play in his cot till I go and get him up. He is still in his cot, he loves it and so I am quite happy for him to stay in there for as long as possible. We do have a toddler bed ready and waiting for him in his room so he knows it is there but I guess changes like that will happen more when he can speak and can tell me he wants to sleep in it. The next thing is to wean him off his dummy at night. He doesn't have one in the day, only for sleeps. I took his day one off him at age 1 and was planning to take his night one at age 2 but may leave it till he can speak and understand that we are going to leave it for the Dummy fairy lol!!
Can you believe our babys are going to be 2 years old soon!!! Crazy I hope they all have lovely birthdays and you make special memories
Here are some pictures of my little monkey taken this week:

Congratulations on baby number 2, I don't seem to have read sex or names etc so if you do get a chance post a quick update I hope things have been better for you second time around and that you are taking care of yourself.

This Monday, Jan. 7, 2013 photo shows a tent prepared for expected flu patients outside of the Emergency Room at Lehigh Valley Hospital at Cedar Crest, in Salisbury Township, Pa. The tent was set up after cases were piling up at the Salisbury Township hospital Monday, with the hospital reporting an extremely busy flu season so far. The flu season arrived early in the U.S. this year, but health officials and experts say it's too early to say this will be a bad one. Experts say evidence so far is pointing to a moderate flu season - it just looks worse because last year's season was so mild. Flu usually doesn't blanket the country until late January or February. Now, it's already widespread in more than 40 states. That could change when the next government report comes out Friday. (AP Photo/Express-Times, www.lehighvalleylive.com, Matt Smith)

|3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane Functionalization and Biotinylation of 4H-SiC for Immobilization of Streptavidin
|June 01, 2012
|(0001) 4H-SiC was functionalized with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and subsequently biotinylated for the immobilization of streptavidin. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), ellipsometry, fluorescence microscopy, and contact angle measurements were utilized to determine the structure, thickness, wettability, and reactivity of the resulting surfaces after each functionalization step. Initially, silicon carbide surfaces were exposed to an APTES solution for 5 min, 1 hr, and 16 hrs. It was determined that 1 hr and 16 hr exposure result in a multilayer APTES film on the SiC surface, whereas a 5 min exposure yields a near monolayer of APTES that is optimum for the subsequent biotinylation and streptavidin immobilization steps. A covalently bound layer of biotin was deposited on the 5 min APTES-functionalized SiC samples followed by successful conjugation of streptavidin. It was also shown that there was significant non-specific (electrostatic) binding of streptavidin to APTES functionalized SiC, thus revealing the importance of a uniform biotinylation step prior to streptavidin attachment. It was also proven that the biotinylated SiC surface is selective for only the streptavidin protein. The experimental results demonstrate that the APTES-functionalized and biotinylated SiC surfaces have the potential to be employed as a biosensing platform for the selective detection of streptavidin molecules.

|Review of Current Progress in Nanometrology with Helium Ions
|September 19, 2011
|Scanning electron microscopy has been employed as an imaging and measurement tool for more than 50 years and it continues as a primary tool in many research and manufacturing facilities across the world. A new challenger to this work is the helium ion microscope (HIM). The HIM is a new complementary imaging and metrology technology for nano- imaging and metrology. Essentially, substitution of the electron source with a helium ion source yields a tool visually similar in function to the scanning electron microscope, but very different in the fundamental imaging and measurement process. The imaged and measured signal originates differently than the scanning electron microscope and that fact and its single atom source diameter may be able to push the obtainable resolution lower, provide greater depth-of-field, and ultimately improve the metrology. Successful imaging and metrology with this instrument entails understanding and modeling of new ion beam/specimen interaction physics. As a new methodology, HIM is beginning to show promise and the abundance of potentially advantageous applications for nanometrology have yet to be fully exploited. This paper discusses some of the progress made at NIST and IBM to understand the science behind this new technology.

NEW BEDFORD — A man suspected of stealing two laptops from Bristol Community College's downtown campus was arrested Friday after a 10-minute foot chase from the bus terminal to Route 18, police said.
Officers spotted Antwan Wells, 28, no known address, already identified as a suspect in the BCC thefts, around 5:30 p.m. on a routine patrol of the downtown area, said Sgt. Kelly Botelho. When they tried to stop him, Wells fled, ducking into the Purchase Street Walgreens, then running behind the Elm Street Garage and the Standard-Times building, Botelho said. On Route 18, he tried to enter several cars before officers were able to catch and handcuff him, he said.
"Even after he was stopped, he was giving us a hard time getting in the van," Botelho said.
Wells was sent to the House of Corrections on charges of carrying a knife, two counts of larceny from a building, intimidation of a witness, disturbing the peace while armed and resisting arrest.
He is also wanted in Boston District Court for drug violations, Captain Steven Vicente said earlier Friday.
Police may have located one of the stolen BCC laptops in a pawnshop, Botelho said. Another person believed to be involved in the thefts, a woman, has not yet been found by police, said Officer Louis Cabral. Police said she is described as a white female, 20, about 5 feet tall, and 110 pounds.

Facebook recently launced a new tool called Groups that enables users to create mini social networks within a Facebook user's list of friends. According to the Wall Street Journal, "Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg said the impetus for groups was to make communicating with your friends on Facebook more like talking with them in the real world."
Facebook Groups was created not to mimic real world communication but to better enable Facebook to monetize your personal data. Many Facebook users have hundreds of Facebook Friends. However, Facebook does not know what a user's true relationship is with each of its Facebook friends. A user's Facebook Friends may include: high school friends, college friends, graduate school friends, co-workers, family members, strangers, associates, significant others, ex-friends, ex-significant others, etc...
According to a recent PC Magazine article, a Facebook spokesperson stated "[w]e made the decision to allow Group members to add others to the Group in order to make the product simple, and because it resembles something we all understand: adding one of your contacts to an e-mail thread." An e-mail thread may be more analagous to unsolicited junk mail (snail or email) than a real group. In addition, opting-in instead of opting out would have made the product simple for users because opting out forces users to take steps that are not user friendly.
If Facebook wanted to make its new Groups feature mimic real world communication it would have enabled users to individually opt-into Groups instead of making users opt-out. Making users opt-out instead of opt-in has the potential to create some unintended legal issues for some of its users. For example, what if a boss or family member or friend reviews a Group page and found out you were a member of a Group that had some sort of stigma?
In my opinion, Facebook made groups opt-out instead of opt-in to better collect and then sell your personal data to marketers. Facebook is on a furious pace to monetize its users' data to demonstrate to prospective bidders for its future IPO Facebook's monetary potential. If Facebook cares about its users' privacy it will change its Group's feature to be opt-in instead of opt-out. When was the last time you had to opt-out of going to dinner with a real group of friends? To go out with a real group of friends you must opt-in. Therefore, I challenge Facebook to correct this major oversight to its new Group tool.

Francis b 1758, d 1827 appears to have hatched under a cabbage leaf! Lots of researchers for many years have tried to pin him down but haven't succeeded. There are a couple of possibilities on his parentage but nothing provable. I am descended from him through sons from both marriages and I hate loose ends but this appears to be the end of the line on him. Sorry.

VoltDB is the commercial implementation of H-store, a fast, natively scalable, fault-tolerant, transactional database designed by Dr. Michael Stonebraker and a team of senior computer scientists from MIT, Yale University, and Brown University.
VoltDB is an in-memory NewSQL database designed to handle the most challenging workloads and operations at tremendous speeds with limitless scalability and zero data loss. Designed as an alternative to legacy one-size-fits-all relational databases, VoltDB delivers the speed, scale and flexibility required by modern data-intensive applications, while providing the data durability, ACID guarantees, and familiar programming models developers have come to expect.
VoltDB's architecture leverages shared-nothing clusters of commodity hardware, where each node has many cores, embracing parallelism natively. Where traditional systems use shared locks and latches to take advantage of multi-core systems, VoltDB achieves concurrency through scheduling. It treats each core in a multi-node cluster as a pipeline to fill with work. In this way, linear scalability is achieved as machines are added.
VoltDB's revolutionary, scale-out architecture allows developers to build applications for Fast and Big Data using inexpensive, virtualized computing infrastructures, implemented on-premises or on popular cloud service platforms.

West Coast Choppers owner Jesse James has agreed to an exclusive collaboration, marketing, and endorsement agreement with S&S Cycle.
James has been an S&S customer throughout his involvement with the V-twin motorcycle industry.
"I have been riding S&S stroker motorbikes since I was 17 years old. West Coast Choppers have consistently been the fastest bikes around and I have S&S to thank for that," James said. "I am honored to work with a company that produces such quality products that are made in the USA."
While not all details of the agreement were released, it includes continued exclusive use of S&S engines in all American V-twin motorcycle builds by James and his renowned custom motorcycle shop. James also plans to build special construction motorcycles for S&S in support of its 50th Anniversary Celebration June 26 to 29 in La Crosse, Wis., featuring X-Wedge and Flathead Power branded S&S engines.
"The past 50 years for S&S have been an extreme success for us in the traditional v-twin market," said S&S President Brett Smith. "This collaborative agreement with Jesse is geared toward focusing on strategic growth opportunities for S as we move into the next 50 years."
James and S&S will also collaborate on a new apparel line expected to be released later in 2008, designed to offer the independent dealers a quality apparel alternative for their V-twin customers. This new apparel release will be done in conjunction with the S&S consumer reintroduction of the Flathead Power line of products at Sturgis, SD, in August. For more information, contact Brett Smith at (608) 627-0247.

I enjoyed swimming at school but that was forty years ago. When my friend first suggested we give some of the State Ocean swims a go I was quite apprehensive. I guess it's a male thing but we didn't even consider the shorter distances – It was "going long" or drown in the attempt!
I live in Whangaparaoa very close to the local swimming pool and beaches. We started training in August with a mixture of pool and ocean swims. I remember my first few swims; I could hardly do five lengths without gasping for breath. I kept telling myself I had to be realistic and that if something was worth doing it was worth doing badly at the start.
As time went by my wife became very complementary of my changing body shape. She had to put up with quite a bit of strutting around in front of the mirror before bed most nights.
Entering the race gave us an excuse to have a holiday. I took the day off work and we drove up to Paihia with our friends on the Friday. We made lots of stops along the way and while my friend and I were discussing race strategy over coffee our wives were off diving into clothing shops hunting down those bargains you never see in the city.
It had been nine years since we were last in Paihia and the weather when we arrived was fantastic. The race organisers had set up seven large buoys across the bay 450 metres apart. They stretched as far as the eye could see from Paihia to Russell. It was hard to be apprehensive because the scenery was so stunning. Our apartment was right on the waterfront so we didn't have far to walk in the morning to catch the ferry to Russell for the start.
On race morning while I was wrestling to get into my wetsuit the door to our apartment opened and my three daughters burst in together with one of my sons in law. They had got up at four o'clock that morning and driven all the way up to Paihia just to support me. They were wearing white singlets that said "Go Dad". I can't tell you what that meant to me – it was big, and I'll cherish that memory forever.
Sitting on the ferry going over to Russell for the race start we had a chance to chat with other swimmers. We were wearing white caps which meant we were in the slowest time group but it didn't seem to matter because we were all part of one big happy family united in our enjoyment of swimming and the thrill of a challenge. We noticed that body shape and age didn't seem to matter. There were a good number of older and well-rounded individuals among the yellow and red caps. We felt there was hope for us. We all had a laugh when the captain gave us the safety briefing over the intercom. There we were all sitting in our wetsuits ready to swim back to Paihia and the captain was telling us where the life rafts were in the event of the ferry sinking. Good times.
It took me one hour and forty three minutes to swim back to Paihia. I was in 542nd place and 31st in my age group. None of that mattered of course. I was just glad to make it across alive. When I asked my friend what part he enjoyed he said "the start and the finish", and that was the same for me. There were a lot of people smiling and waving us off on Russell and I even managed to wave back once or twice as I made my way to the first buoy. The first three 450 legs went well and then we seemed to hit a current that pushed us off course. That middle leg was a very long one indeed as we battled our way back on course. I was grateful for my training. I noticed my friend swimming just behind me and it was a comfort to think I wasn't alone. Towards the end as I was getting tired I kept thinking of my family at the finish. When I finally stood up on firm land, there they all were, and hundreds of others – all clapping for me. I was so happy I hugged the life guard who was there to direct me to the finish line. By the look on his face I don't think he had ever been hugged by a competitor before but I didn't care. I was hugging everybody I could get my hands on. What an achievement. Don't let anybody tell you it's not worth it. When you achieve something that takes real effort – it's worth it.
We hung around that day and clapped in every last swimmer as they came ashore. Even when the clock had stopped and time was no longer being recorded. It wasn't about time it was about finishing and recognising the effort it took to finish.
I got more out of my first ocean swim than I thought I would. It enriched my friendships, it inspired my wife and it created some special memories that warm my heart and the hearts of my family. I don't think I'm going to become a fanatic but I have started training for the Auckland Harbour Crossing in December. I hope to keep swimming well into my old age, although if what I see in the mirror is anything to go by that's a long way off yet.
by Rod Hare, Whangaparaoa
Hi Rod
What an amazing story, and congratulations. You've every right to feel proud of what you've achieved. As you said, it doesn't matter about the time it took you. You swam 3.3km in the sea. Most New Zealanders will never be able to say they have done that.
It's stories like yours which inspire me, a fellow not-so-fast athlete. I've completed a few State Ocean Swims (Paihia to Russell being one of them) and am currently training for Ironman NZ in February.
But, like you, my only goal is to finish. That would be a dream come true after battling with severe depression for ten years and feeling suicidal numerous times.
If I could offer you some advice, having started from a similar position as you (my first event, back in 2010, was the Harbour Crossing), it would be to dream big. In my experience, the body isn't the limiting factor – the brain is. Believe me, if you want something bad enough and are prepared to work for it, you'll get there. And as you've experienced, the rewards are well and truly worth all the effort.
All the best for your future endeavours. I will remember your name and look forward to reading more stories about you.
Kind regards
Shane Martin
Cheers – Thanks Natalia.
Hats off to you for all that training. I'm sure you'll do great.
See you there.
Hey Shane
Thanks heaps for your inspiration.
I really appreciate the encouragement to dream big and wish you the very best for your race in Feb.
I'm Rods friend and yes we had a great time. The event was well organized and we both felt a great sense of achievement after swimming the full distance and celebrating at the finish line. After the race I got a memorable congratulatory phone call from my daughter in Perth. An enjoyable time shared with family and friends. A great start to the ocean swim series.
Well Done Rodders!
Fantastic effort great swim and brilliant that you are back in the pool. Let me know when you are doing the next one and who knows, we might make it over to keep you company – I bet the girls are super proud of their dad!

'The Lovers of the False Moon'
Álvarez Bravo's depiction of young love remains inspirational four decades later
"The Lovers of the False Moon"
By: Manuel Alvarez Bravo
Date: Around 1972-1974
Medium: Gelatin silver print Size: 7 1/8 x 9 1/2 inches
Location: Museum of Photographic Arts, 1649 El Prado, Balboa Park
Manuel Álvarez Bravo (1902-2002) was a luminary not only in his native Mexico, where he taught himself photography and lived to be 100, but throughout the world. In addition to staging more than 150 solo exhibitions, he was recognized with numerous international photography prizes and several books, and he is represented in major museum collections from Mexico City to Paris to Kyoto.
"He is an amazing figure in photography," having worked from the 1920s until the 1990s and staying relevant to this day, said Chantel Paul, assistant curator at the Museum of Photographic Arts. "He photographed life as it was happening in Mexico. He had a really keen eye to create incredible narratives in his work."
Álvarez Bravo spotted a pair of young lovers, she with her hand in his back pocket, strolling down a street, probably in Mexico. Their romantic bond is sealed by a painted "moon" and a street sign that with little imagination suggests an X, or a kiss. Only a master could capture this visually striking and poignant composition in the blink of an eye.
Now, four decades later, the charming story this recently acquired photograph tells is as fresh as new love.
"Álvarez Bravo's images are continually inspirational," Paul said. "There's something about them that's captivating and always will be."
Ann Jarmusch, formerly U-T San Diego's architecture critic, writes about art, architecture and historic preservation.
