PyCon 2011
PyCon 2011
PyCon is where the Python programming language meets Python personalities and serves to educate, excite, motivate, maintain, and recruit Python users and developers.
Python celebrated its 20th birthday at PyCon 2011, held at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Atlanta, Georgia, March 9-17. PyCon proved to be three knowledge-packed events in one: The main conference days were March 11-13; those who arrived before the main event could attend tutorials; those who stayed beyond the main conference days enjoyed four full days of development sprints.

Ultrasonic sensors are most commonly used in the diffuse mode. A single ultrasonic transducer is used as both emitter and receiver and is typically contained in the same housing as the evaluation electronics.
To reliably detect difficult objects, the majority of our diffuse mode sensors can be converted to retroreflective operation via software parameterization. Some ultrasonic sensors are supplied as retroreflective sensors from the outset.
Ultrasonic thru-beam sensors feature an extremely powerful acoustic beam. They offer a large detection range within compact housing dimensions. Unlike diffuse and retroreflective models, these sensors do not continuously switch between transmission and reception modes or wait for an echo signal to arrive. Thus, their response time is considerably faster, resulting in very high switching frequencies.
Double sheet sensors are ultrasonic thru-beam sensors that have been optimized specifically for sheet feed applications, including double sheet detection, label counting, and splice detection.
Double sheet and double material sensors distinguish between empty gaps, one, and two layers of material, including paper, metals, wooden boards, and glass panes.
When performing label detection tasks, the sensors can distinguish between the label backing and the base material.
Compatible accessories offer enormous potential for cost savings. Not only do you save a great deal of time and effort when installing the sensors, but also when servicing them. If products are used in harsh ambient conditions, appropriate Pepperl+Fuchs accessories can be used to extend the service life of the sensors.
Pepperl+Fuchs introduces the "Technology Guide Ultrasonic Sensors" as a free multimedia download. The technology guide incorporates more than 30 years of expertise in ultrasonic sensor technology, and is beneficial for both beginners and experts. As a special bonus, the technology guide contains animations which are directly embedded in the document. Download your free copy now and get valuable insights and advice for your field work.

William Marcel "Buddy" Collette (August 6, 1921 – September 19, 2010) was an American tenor saxophonist, flautist, and clarinetist. He was highly influential in the West coast jazz and West Coast blues mediums, also collaborating with saxophonist Dexter Gordon, drummer Chico Hamilton, and his lifelong friend, bassist Charles Mingus.
Collette took up the alto saxophone at age 12 and led his first group, which included Britt Woodman on trombone and Charles Mingus on bass.[1] At 17 he started playing professionally. After serving as a U.S. Navy band leader, he played with the Stars of Swing[2] (featuring Woodman, Mingus and Lucky Thompson). Along with saxophonist Dexter Gordon, bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Chico Hamilton, he helped keep bebop alive in Los Angeles' historic Central Avenue neighborhood. In the early 1950s he worked as a studio musician and performed on Groucho Marx's television program, You Bet Your Life.
In 1955, he became a founding member of Chico Hamilton's quintet.[3] The unusually instrumented quintet also featured guitarist Jim Hall and cellist (and pianist) Fred Katz, and performed chamber jazz. A year later, Collette recorded Man of Many Parts, his first album as a bandleader.
Unlike other influential West Coast players Collette stayed in Los Angeles, recorded with his quintet, and became a noteworthy educator. His students included such renowned musicians as Eric Dolphy, Charles Lloyd, Frank Morgan, Sonny Criss, and James Newton.
In 1996, the Library of Congress commissioned Collette to write and perform a special big band concert to highlight his long career. Although a stroke in 1998 had rendered him unable to continue performing, Collette remained active in jazz education, responsible for founding numerous programs for children in the Los Angeles area. Together with Steven Isoardi he wrote an autobiography titled Jazz Generations: A Life in American Music and Society (Bayou 2000).
Collette was a pioneer civil rights activist, working to desegregate the musicians' union of Los Angeles. Gerald Wilson, Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and saxophonist Benny Carter were some of his early supporters. He also helped organize a concert and rally protesting government repression of the African American singer, actor, and political activist Paul Robeson.
He died in Los Angeles on September 19, 2010.

(CONCORD) January 3, 2011 – The East Bay-based craft beer radio company, The Brewing Network, is back for its 3rd Annual Winter Brews Festival, despite a few bumps in the road courtesy of the Occupy Movement.
In a market saturated by conglomerate breweries, microbreweries are working hard to let their products—fresh, flavorful, and local—speak for themselves. In a newly formed "occupied" world, you would think being a part of the 99% would make this slightly easier. Sadly not. The Brewing Network's 3rd Annual Winter Brews Festival—an event that celebrates the wonder of small breweries and craft beer—is being forced out of its Berkeley home because of protestors occupying the event location.
Craft beer speaks to the very essence of trying to stand out in a 1% dominated market; small breweries often struggle to compete with the access and power of corporate breweries.Yet despite this, the Brewing Network's Winter Brews Festival and the breweries it is trying to support are being discarded rather than celebrated.
In the 11th hour, the City of Concord came to the rescue, offering use of the Todos Santos Plaza—just two blocks from Concord BART—as a haven for the event.
This haven, however, is only temporary. Todos Santos Plaza is normally closed to public events during the winter months. Due to the extreme situation, however, they graciously opened their doors to
allow the event to go on uninterrupted. Partnering with the Todos Santos Small Business Association and a local environmental non-profit organization, this event will proudly promote the value of local breweries, local businesses, and fresh beer.
Visitors will enjoy unlimited tastings from more than 30 world class breweries. Confirmed breweries include the 21st Amendment, Drakes, Heretic, Lagunitas, Magnolia, Triple Rock, and Russian River. This Winter Brews Festival promises to expose beer lovers, new and experienced, to a variety of appetizing and innovative beers. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit local nonprofit, the Coral Reef Alliance.
The 3rd Annual Winter Brews Festival will be held at the Todos Santos Plaza in Concord on Saturday, January 28, 2012, from 12pm to 4pm. Tastings will feature a wide variety of local
brews and unique innovations from some of the best brewers around, many of whom will be pouring their own beers giving visitors an opportunity to learn more about how the beer is made.
The event will happen rain or shine, with arrangements in place to keep festival goers dry or out of the sun. And with the Concord BART station just two blocks away, this afternoon event will no doubt satisfy locals wanting to enjoy some beers for a great cause. Tickets are $35 pre-sale or $40 at the gate and include unlimited pours and a commemorative glass. For more information on the event, and to purchase tickets, please visit www.brewingnetwork.com/ontap.
The Brewing Network, founded in 2005, is an internet radio company dedicated to delivering the best in beer entertainment and information. From professionals in the craft beer world to amateur brewers at home, the BN delivers high quality radio that makes you thirsty! With weekly radio programming that showcases a range of topics from beer style profiles and how to brew them at home, to professional and amateur brewer interviews to teach you about the craft beer world and how to brew, the Brewing Network serves tons of information with all the fun of a morning radio format. The brewcasters are all about the beer—and beer is all about having a good time. Visit www.thebrewingnetwork.com for more information, to download podcasts, or buy BN gear.
The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) unites communities to save coral reefs. They provide tools, education, and inspiration to residents of coral reef destinations to support local projects that benefit both reefs and people. Originally founded in 1994 to galvanize the dive community for conservation, CORAL has grown from a small, grassroots alliance into the only international nonprofit organization that works exclusively to unite communities to protect our planet's coral reefs.

2014 already looks like the worst year for Pakistani minorities
For many of us it's really difficult to believe that it's 2014 and yet today we still hear about people killing other people because of religious differences. Fundamentalist extremism has become so embedded in some societies that many people living in these societies have stopped resisting fundamentalist extremists. Nowadays dozens of people dying in a bomb attack only raises a few eyebrows. Most of this violence is currently happening in many Muslim majority countries, like it is happening here in Pakistan. Pakistan is an Islamic Republic and the only nuclear Muslim State where 96.4% of the population is Muslim (2013 estimates: Sunni 85-90%, Shia 10-15%), and the remaining 3.6% (2010 estimate) population includes Christians and Hindus.
State persecution: A Pakistani policeman removing the Islamic Shahada from the gravestone of an Ahmadi Muslim.
Things have been pretty bad for Pakistan's minorities since the beginning but the recent rise of fundamentalist extremism and the Talibanization of the country has raised the level of threat against minorities to the highest level. It isn't be wrong to say that this is the most dangerous time for Pakistan's minorities in the Islamic Republic's history. As 2014 started, it seemed that there was not a single minority in Pakistan that wasn't under attack.
There is the currently ongoing genocide of Shiite Muslims, where Sunni militants have killed hundreds and hundreds of Shiite Muslims. Here's adetailed list of all the attacks on Shiite Muslims in Pakistan since 1963 to 2013 (note how attacks have spiked in recent years) and here's alist of all terror-related violence in 2014 in Pakistan.
But haven't Shiites and Sunnis hated each other since the early days of Islam and aren't they fighting against each other in other counties too? Well, wait till you hear the rest. Ahmadi Muslims are outlawed under the Pakistani constitution and cannot identify as Muslims. An Ahmadi Muslim can face death for simplyreading the Quran oridentifying as a Muslim. Bigotry against Ahmadi Muslims is normal in the Pakistani media and social media, and is considered acceptable by many educated Pakistani Muslims too. Ahmadi Muslims are seen as undesirables, unworthy of same respect as everyone else. It should be noted here that Ahmadi Muslims are thought to be one of the most peaceful Muslim sects in the entire world. But in Pakistan, they face an uncertain future. The mostrecent incident of violence against Ahmadi Muslims happened in the capital of Pakistan, Islamabad on 28th March 2014 when a mother and her son were brutally stabbed to death for the crime of being Ahmadi Muslims.
Minorities within Islam are not the only ones suffering in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Hindus and Christians face similar fates under the constant threat from Islamists. Pakistani Hindus faceforced conversions and non-stop dehumanization. As Pakistan was originally founded on the Hindu-Muslim divide and this divide was the core part of the argument used to justify the creation of Pakistan back in early 1940s, Pakistani Muslims see Hindus as their archenemy and for many, being Hindu is synonymous with being Indian. On March 15, 2014,a large crowd of Pakistani Muslims burnt a Hindu templeand a dharmashala in Larkana, Sindh, Pakistan, after unverified allegations of a Hindu youth desecrating a copy of the Quran. On 28th March, 2014three masked men set a Hindu temple on firein Pakistan's Sindh province.
An angry Muslim crowd set fire to a Hindu community centre in Larkana. Here, beheaded statues of Hindu deities can be seen.
Pakistan currently leads the world in sentencing people, usually from minorities, for blasphemy according to a newreport. On 27th March 2014 a Pakistani courtsentencedChristian man Sawan Masih to death for blasphemy. Sawan Masih was arrested on 6th March 2013 and was accused of making blasphemous remarks during a conversation. Just two days after Sawan's arrest, a Muslim mobburnedhis entire Christian neighborhood consisting of over 100 houses 'in revenge of the blasphemy'. Put that into perspective: a Christian man arrested for a crime that he probably didn't commit in the first place, his entire Christian neighborhood burned to the ground, and then given the death sentence – and no one was arrested for burning over 100 Christian houses. This is justice Pakistani style.
As Pakistan tramples on human rights and abuses the rights of its citizens, the UN has been reluctant to call out Pakistan on its shameful record of human rights violations. Although many human rights bodies have condemned therights abuses in Pakistanand have urged the Pakistani State to make sure that the rights of all minorities are protected, the pressure that is needed from the international community is missing.

When Ken Brecher arrived in town to get the lay of the land and meet the natives, he didn't do what you might expect from the brand-new head of the august William Penn Foundation.
He didn't head for a maximum-visibility lunch at The Palm (at least not first thing, or even second thing).
He didn't swoop down on any society functions to hob and nob and see and be seen.
He was absent from the capacious confines of the Union League and from the cozy boardrooms west of City Hall.

LAST MONTH, AFTER HIS FIRST DAY ON the job in the Italian Chamber of Deputies in Rome, newly elected Silvio Berlusconi unburdened himself to the press. "Will I always have to live this kind of life?" he complained playfully. "I have never done so little in my life."
For Berlusconi, who last week was sworn in as Italy's 54th prime minister in 49 years, it was a well-aimed shot at his legislative colleagues. But there was also considerable truth in his barb—for the man is nothing if not a doer. At 57, Berlusconi—who has been called Italy's Ross Perot—has amassed a $7 billion fortune. His three national TV channels draw in 45% of the Italian viewing audience. He also owns the country's largest publishing house (which includes Panorama, Italy's leading newsmagazine) and biggest media-buying agency. Though Berlusconi has temporarily put the management of these enterprises in other hands, he has refused to sell them. "It's as if the President of the United States controlled CNN, ABC, The New York Times and several newsmagazines," says Franco Bassanini, a left-wing member of Italy's Parliament.
That's not the only reason the new PM makes many Europeans nervous. He began his campaign almost four months ago, at the height of a burgeoning bribery and corruption scandal that has ensnared thousands of Italy's top industrial and political leaders and paved the way for a powerful newcomer like Berlusconi. To a dismayed electorate, worn down by the so-called Clean Hands investigation and a recession, he promised to deliver lower taxes and a million new jobs. He also blamed the scandal and inefficiencies of the bureaucratic welfare state on the nearly moribund Communist party. Simultaneously, Berlusconi allied his party, Forza Italia, with a mixed bag of right-wingers—including the neo-fascist National Alliance, whose leader, Gianfranco Fini, recently described Benito Mussolini as "the greatest statesman of the century." Notes an alarmed Bassanini: "Berlusconi has brought neo-fascism to power for the first time in Italy." Yet Berlusconi, who has appointed five neo-fascists to his Cabinet, denies he is anything but a centrist. "I challenge anyone to find one single newspaper page or one television transmission that in any way makes someone think that my ideological view is close to fascism," he has said. And in fact Italians may consider Berlusconi's unsavory bedfellows less significant than his record of personal accomplishment in a country that deeply admires the industrial aristocracy.
Berlusconi's entrepreneurship was evident early on. One of three children of a Milanese banker and his wife, Berlusconi was charging admission to puppet shows by age 5. Later he worked odd jobs, including one singing on cruise ships, to pay his way through college. After earning a law degree in 1961, Berlusconi got a loan to buy property and build housing complexes near Milan. Throughout the '70s and '80s he devoured media properties and Standa, Italy's largest chain of retail stores. While usually polite, in business dealings he can be "extremely dangerous when he knows he is right and people are playing with his patience," says filmmaker Franco Zeffirelli. Zeffirelli once successfully sued Berlusconi over a business dispute, but now the two are friends and fellow parliamentarians in Berlusconi's party.
Perhaps Berlusconi's political ace was his ownership of A.C. Milan, the best soccer team in a soccer-mad country. A.C. Milan has won Italy's national championship for three consecutive years and has also taken home numerous European and international championships. Jokes A.C. Milan team manager Silvano Romaccioni: "If Berlusconi does 55 percent of what he's done for soccer for Italy, all our problems will be solved."
Berlusconi reportedly has another favorite sport: women. According to biographer Giovanni Ruggeri, he is an inveterate ladies' man. "He has a soft spot for showy and, above all, provocative women," writes Ruggeri. In 1980, while still married to his first wife, Carla Dall' Oglio (with whom he has two grown children), Berlusconi was smitten by sultry actress Veronica Lario, then 25, whom he saw performing topless in a Milan theater. Their subsequent affair led to three out-of-wedlock children, Berlusconi's divorce from Carla and his marriage to Veronica in 1990. Still, Berlusconi is considered a family man—at least by local standards. He keeps two lavish villas near Milan, one for his two grown children and another for his second family. Veronica, a professed homebody, is her husband's biggest fan and may have the most accurate explanation for Berlusconi's sudden political success. "This...is not a victory for the right. It is a victory for the man. People don't believe in parties anymore," she has said. "They want men of quality."

CORTLAND, N.Y. – One more day until the Jets (sort of) get a break from their daily practice routine. On Saturday night at 7:15, they will hold their annual Green and White scrimmage.
Now, this almost certainly won't differ much from practice. There won't be any tackling to the ground, but the coaches do let drives continue if the offense attains a first down. So it's basically like an extended version of team periods at practice. But it's still unlike a real game. At least that's how this scrimmage has unfolded in the past.
Either way, the Jets have just one more morning practice before the scrimmage, as they begin their second week of camp, in terms of the number of practices they have held. We've broken down all previous practices for you on a daily basis as follows:
• Day 2
• Day 3
• Day 4
• Day 5
• Day 6
• Day 7
• Day 8
Now here's what we'll have an eye on Friday, in the eighth practice, on camp's ninth day:
• Calvin Pryor's progress. The first-round draft pick safety returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday after sustaining a concussion Saturday. He was still in the NFL's post-concussion assessment protocol, so he wore a red (non-contact) jersey Thursday. The protocol calls for him to be assessed after exertion, so if his head trauma levels are normal at that point, he could be cleared for further activity. As of Thursday, he had been cleared only for physical activity and not for contact.
• Continued improved play from the offense. The Jets' offense sputtered Tuesday and Wednesday, but looked a bit better Thursday, though the offense came up empty on eight of 10 goal-line situations. The offense is the biggest question about the Jets entering this season. As the second week of camp practices begin, this group needs to start showing consistent progress.
• Jace Amaro's development. The rookie tight end, a second-round draft pick, had a brutal practice Wednesday and showed improvement Thursday. Jets offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said Thursday that he expects Amaro to get "comfortable" in the Jets' system – and all the plays they are currently installing – by sometime next week. That would be just in time for Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts.
• Bilal Powell's potential return. The running back, who must fight Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory for playing time, missed his third straight practice Thursday with a hamstring injury. Powell was just so-so last season, when he averaged 4 yards per carry – the same number he averaged in 2012. Ivory last season averaged 4.6, as he emerged as the Jets' most reliable back. This is the final year of Powell's rookie contract. He needs to show the Jets growth, though you have to wonder how many opportunities he will get.

Activist shareholder Carl Icahn's proxy war with the board of Amylin Pharmaceuticals received a boost yesterday when a Delaware judge fast-tracked a hearing on his lawsuit to replace the company's directors. Delaware Chancery Court Judge John Noble scheduled for May 10 a hearing on delaying Amylin's annual meeting, set to take place five days later.
In a 12-page opinion, Judge Noble said Icahn adequately alleged that the board "radically changed its outlook for the company" by refusing to engage Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). That opinion sided with Icahn's argument in court papers that he would have proposed a slate of dissident shareholders in time for the annual meeting had he and other Amylin shareholders known that the board was altering its strategy.
Icahn, Amylin's third-largest shareholder with 14.4 million shares—an 8.9% stake in the drug developer—sued the company after it refused to extend its deadline for nomination of board members to be considered at the annual meeting.
Icahn's legal war with Amylin began after the company rejected a $3.5 billion, $22 per share takeover offer from BMS. Icahn has criticized the Amylin board for failing to disclose the BMS offer while agreeing to a public offering last month of 10% of company shares at $15.62 per share, with options for the company's top executives that could be exercised at $16.02 per share.
"We continue to believe that Mr. Icahn's lawsuit is without merit and will defend ourselves accordingly," Amylin said Monday in a statement. "Amylin's Board is fully aware of its fiduciary duties and is committed to always acting in the best interests of all stockholders."
This is not Icahn's first legal wrangle with Amylin over directors. In 2009, Icahn and hedge fund Eastbourne Capital Management placed two nominees they supported on the Amylin board: Alexander Denner, a former Icahn employee nominated by Icahn; and Kathleen Behrens, a former managing director of RS Investments nominated by Eastbourne.
More recently, Amylin has not commented on news reports that the company has begun reaching out to potential buyers. Citing unnamed sources, Reuters first reported that Amylin had hired Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs as financial advisers, and the law firm Skadden Arps as its legal adviser.
If Amylin is indeed looking for a buyer, several biopharma giants would be interested, analysts have said. Tim Anderson, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein, told Bloomberg last month that AstraZeneca (AZ) may see Amylin as an appealing source of additional diabetes assets given AZ's "subscale presence in diabetes" and need for "late-stage/approved assets to help fill in the gaps left open by a lagging pipeline and ongoing future patent expiries."
AstraZeneca's sole diabetes drug is among its top eight performers in sales: Onglyza™ generated $211 million in sales last year, of which $156 million (about 74%) came from the U.S., followed by $34 million (16%) from Western Europe. In March 2011, Onglyza became the first dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP-IV) inhibitor available for use in Europe in treating adults with type 2 diabetes who have moderate or severe renal impairment.
But in one recent setback, AstraZeneca in January received a Complete Response Letter from FDA for its submission for dapagliflozin, a drug for type 2 diabetes in adults being developed along with BMS. The drug fared better in Europe, where the EMA validated an MAA for dapagliflozin as a once-daily oral therapy for type 2 diabetes in adults.
AstraZeneca characterized its 2011 results as "mixed." The company recorded a $435 million impairment charge following a pair of disappointments: The end of clinical trials after Phase II studies with olaparib (AZD2281) for ovarian cancer and the failure of two Phase III trials with TC-5214, a CNS disease collaboration with Targacept.
On the bright side, during 2011 AstraZeneca launched Caprelsa (vandetanib) for thyroid cancer in the U.S., received a positive opinion for the drug from the EU's CHMP, and won FDA approval of Brilinta for acute coronary syndromes. The EU also approved Axanum for cardiovascular events, Komboglyze for diabetes, and influenza vaccine Fluenz, while both Nexium and Faslodex were launched in Japan.
Bloomberg has also quoted unnamed "people familiar with the matter" as saying both Merck & Co. and Japanese-owned Takeda Pharmaceutical were both carrying out due diligence on possible partnerships with Amylin.

Major face-offs 2013
By ENS
Published: 15th September 2013 12:00 AM
Last Updated: 13th September 2013 12:21 PM
August: Fifty-odd Chinese troopers transgress about 30 km inside Indian territory in Chaglagam sector of Anjaw district in Arunachal Pradesh, camp for a week and return. India, to prevent escalation of hostilities, does nothing except to send a patrol team there.
July: Two Chinese military helicopters carry out aerial surveillance close to the LAC in Ladakh's Chumar sector, testing India's air defence mechanism.
July: Chinese troopers cross the LAC into the Indian side at Chumar. They damage surveillance equipment and carry away a camera. It is returned after two flag meetings of local commanders.
May: Chinese troopers have a fresh tiff with Indian soldiers, this time stopping their patrols at the Siri Jap area of Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir, also known as Finger-VIII, where China has built a road 5 km inside Indian side of LAC. Leh-based 14 Corps headquarters stops all patrols in the area.
April-May: Over 30 Chinese army personnel enter Indian side of LAC, 19 km deep, pitch tents for three weeks at Raki Nallah on Debsang bulge near Daulat Beg Oldi in northern Ladakh region. Indian troopers pitch their own tents nearby as a counter, but no offensive action taken to dislodge the Chinese. Diplomatic efforts and military flag meetings resolve the issue and the Chinese return home.

America has lots of great drives. Fortunately for Oregonians, most of them are out West near where we live.
While I have visited 49 of the 50 states (Iowa, Iowa, where for art thou, Iowa?), I'm not an expert on every great drive, but I've seen more than a few.
Outside the West, the Natchez Trace (Tennessee to Mississippi) comes to mind, as does the Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia to North Carolina). State Route 100 in Vermont is pretty tough to top during fall when the leaves are turning color. And I was blown away last year by the roads on the south shore of Lake Superior, from Grand Portage, Minn., to Copper Harbor, Mich.
But the most scenic highway I've driven east of the Rocky Mountains is U.S. 1 in the Florida Keys, from Key Largo to Key West. U.S. 101 on the Oregon coast is best in the west, so why shouldn't U.S. 1 in Florida be the best in the East?
As the early onset of winter rains settles over the Pacific Northwest, it may just be time to dream of a Keys vacation. After several trips to Hawaii, I thought Florida would be a disappointment. I was wrong. The Sunshine State blew me away.
To read my description of a week in the Florida Keys, click on "continue reading the entry.''
Then tune in tomorrow for a trip through Miami and the Everglades, more great Florida destinations.
Look beyond Margaritaville to the Florida Keys' reefs, beaches and exotic wildlife
In South Florida, the midwinter sun begins to dip into the Gulf of Mexico at 5:30 p.m. By then, the nightly party in Key West's Mallory Square has been going strong for an hour.
A tight-rope walker in a red-and-white clown suit juggles while balanced on a steel cable stretching across the edge of the pier. A Houdini wanna-be slips out of a straitjacket while chained upside down by his feet. A one-man band, musical instruments draped around his body, sings, plays guitar, harmonica, drum and tambourine.
It takes ingenuity to be noticed in Key West, the southernmost city in the continental United States, where every evening is a party during Sunset Celebration.
But despite all these distractions, tourists in tank tops and shorts all stop to watch as a half-dozen tall-masted ships sail in front of the brilliant orange sun as it dips into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Florida Keys have long attracted party-goers and others seeking a relaxed lifestyle not found up north. Ernest Hemingway, the legendary writer and hard-drinking man's man, discovered Key West in the 1920s. President Truman set up his winter White House on the island in the 1940s, enjoying marathon poker sessions away from the watchful eye of his first lady, Bess. And Jimmy Buffett's outlandishly dressed Parrothead fans overrun the place these days in search of Margaritaville.
Even so, it's nature, not nuttiness, that is the true attraction of the Florida Keys.
The rich wildlife of the Keys, from the dazzling array of wild birds to the diminutive Key deer to subtropical plants and trees make the chain of islands that stretch 120 miles west from the tip of Florida stand out from the rest of the United States.
Yes, you can visit the Keys by cruise ship, by small boat or by airplane. But the classic way to see the Florida Keys is by car, preferably a red convertible, from Miami along one of North America's most scenic highways.
The Florida Keys are divided into five sections, with miles counting down from the mainland to zero at Key West. First comes Key Largo, at mile 118; then Islamorada at 90.7; Marathon at 63; the Lower Keys at 47, and Key West, beginning four miles before land's end.
Although it begins as a four-lane divided highway in Key Largo, U.S. 1 dwindles to two lanes before Islamorada. It expands back to four lanes in busy areas, but with few traffic lights drivers bent on stopping at roadside attractions must gun their way through left-hand turns. Which makes driving U.S. 1 a bit like running a gantlet, with attention divided between the beauty, the tourist stops and the ever-merging traffic.
The route of this highway took shape in 1912, when Henry Flagler, the father of modern Florida, completed a passenger rail line down Florida's Atlantic Coast to Key West. The line was promoted as a way to travel in 48 hours from New York to Havana, switching to steamship at Key West for the 90-mile journey to the Cuban capital.
But in the late 1920s, passenger plane service took flight, and the gilded age of the American train travel began to wane. Then, in 1935 an unnamed hurricane slammed the central Keys, killing 300 people and destroying 42 miles of rail bed.
The state bought the right-of-way from Flagler for $640,000 and converted the route - including its many bridges, which were only lightly damaged by the hurricane - into a highway. That road opened in 1938 and lasted for 50 years, until the width of the bridges became unsuitable for modern traffic and the present-day U.S. 1 was built.
One of the best places to see the old and the new highway side by side is at Pigeon Key, a five-acre island at the west end of Marathon. The tiny key was used as the construction camp for the Keys' longest bridge, the Seven Mile Bridge.
If the area looks familiar, perhaps it's because it played a starring role in the 1994 movie "True Lies," along with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis.
Traffic across the new bridge had to be stopped during the filming of a scene on the nearby old bridge, in which two Harrier jet fighters attack the bridge. That didn't sit well with the locals, anxious to get to or from home, until the movie company came up with a novel way to entertain them.
The company hired models, scantily dressed in South Florida beach wear, to pass out free hot dogs, soft drinks and bumper stickers that read "I got stopped on the Seven Mile Bridge during the filming of 'True Lies.' "
The natives were pacified, and the visual effects team was nominated for an Academy Award.
But there's much more to the Florida Keys than film locations. Each of the area's five geographical segments could be a vacation destination of its own.
Driving south from Miami, first comes Key Largo, which feels like an extension of the mainland. But don't let that fool you into zipping through without stopping.
The star of Key Largo is John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, the nation's first underwater state park and living proof that South Florida is like nowhere else in the continental United States. The nation's only coral reef outside Hawaii extends in an arch from Miami to Key West, in the Atlantic Ocean through the Florida Strait to the Gulf of Mexico.
Tour boats take divers and snorkelers to the reef five miles offshore. With swimming beaches, camping, a small museum and aquarium, the park is a shining example of why Florida's state park system is the best in the country.
Down the road a short way, the African Queen, the boat used by Bogart and Hepburn in the movie of the same name, is stationed alongside U.S. 1 in front of the Holiday Inn.
Offshore in Emerald Lagoon, Jules Undersea Lodge claims to be the world's only underwater hotel. Anchored in 21 feet of water, the unique lodge can handle six guests, who most often are scuba divers.
At the west edge of Key Largo, the nonprofit Florida Keys Wild Bird Center introduces visitors to some of Florida's most colorful residents. The center caters to injured birds, which live there permanently, but it also offers a daily fish feed to their wild cousins. Just before the appointed 3:30 p.m. feeding, several hundred brown pelicans waddle along the boardwalks looking for fish.
Next up along U.S. 1, Islamorada offers some of the world's finest sportfishing for tarpon, bonefish, permit, sailfish, dolphin fish (also known as mahi-mahi) and more. And you don't have to catch them to dine on fresh fish fillets, stone crab and lobster in a tempting array of restaurants.
Next door to the Islamorada Fish Co. is the World Wide Sportsman store. Besides stocking every kind of fishing lure and rod imaginable, the store has a fishing-themed fine arts gallery and an upstairs Zane Grey Lounge, which is one of the best places in the middle Keys to watch the sunset.
Other reasons to linger near Islamorada include the oceanfront campsites at Long Key State Park; rare public sand access at Anne's Beach; the chance to feed 90-pound wild tarpon at Robbie's Marina and ranger-led tours to uninhabited Indian and Lignumvitae keys.
Marathon, at the center of the Keys, has the Dolphin Research Center, a retirement home for captive-reared dolphins, which don't appear to regret living out their years in comfort. The Museum of Natural History at Crane Point affords an interesting glimpse at an early human settlement, as well as subtropical vegetation found nowhere else in the United States. Much of it took root after arriving from the West Indies on hurricanes.
The Lower Keys, centered on Big Pine Key, begin at the west end of the Seven Mile Bridge. Bahia Honda State Park is another jewel in the Florida park system's crown, with snorkel and dive tours to Looe Key, long stretches of narrow sand beaches and oceanfront campsites. When the park closes to day visitors at sunset, overnight guests have miles of shoreline to enjoy, gazing into the star-filled sky or across the strait to a dim glow that is the coast of Cuba.
Big Pine Key is home to North America's smallest white-tailed deer, the Key deer. Because of the deer, which are endangered and federally protected, Big Pine, one of the larger islands, has been left in a comparatively natural condition. The Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge has some short hiking trails, but the best place to spot deer is in the residential area at the island's north end, where they browse on suburban shrubs. A photo in the visitor center shows one of the friendly deer walking into the kitchen of a home.
Finally, you reach Key West, where, along with a dazzling array of bars, restaurants, hotels and T-shirt shops, you find the Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservancy, which opened last year. Step inside the glass enclosure and you enter a world where 1,500 butterflies flit among 3,500 tropical plants.
You may be at the end of the road, but you're not at the end of the United States. You can't go any farther south, but you can go west.
Sixty-eight miles out in the Gulf of Mexico you come to the Dry Tortugas, a collection of seven small islands discovered in 1513 by Ponce de Leon. They now form one of the nation's most unusual national parks.
Two large diesel-powered catamarans, as well as float planes, transport visitors between Key West and Dry Tortugas daily, weather permitting. At $119 per passenger by boat, the journey is not cheap, but the Dry Tortugas do not disappoint.
A day tour includes a 4.5-hour layover at Fort Jefferson, enough time to snorkel, picnic and explore the fort, which became a national park in 1992.
Surrounded by warm, clean, shallow water, the Tortugas teem with birds, turtles and reef fishes. Tour guides encourage snorkelers to begin at the sandy swimming area, then to move along the fort wall to the ruins of an old dock.
The dock pilings, in water 3 to 10 feet deep, have become an artificial reef with brain coral, purple sea fans and antlerlike branches of elkhorn coral. Thousands of fish swim among the formations, including a six-foot barracuda that patrols the outer edge of the pilings. Marine biologists have counted more than 440 fish species in the Tortugas.
And you don't have to wait until sunset to see this wildlife.
Getting there: Restricted airfare from Portland to Key West begins around $370. To see all the Keys, fly to Miami (fares start at about $280) and rent a car (rates begin at about $110 a week).
Key Largo: The Marriott and Sheraton are the main resorts here, both on Florida Bay. The Kona Kai Resort, with an art gallery in the lobby, is one of the higher class of the many "mom and pop" locally owned lodges throughout the Keys. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park has camping, as well as snorkel/dive/glass-bottom boat tours to the reef. Sample Florida's fresh seafood, Japanese style, at Makoto Sushi Bar, or snack on 'gator at the Crack'd Conch, a typical Florida roadhouse. Don't miss the 3:30 p.m. feeding at the Florida Keys Wild Bird Center.
Islamorada: Cheeca Lodge and Spa is the major resort in this "sportfishing capital of the world." The Islander and Kon Tiki are affordable alternatives nearby. Long Key State Park has oceanfront camping, but noisy U.S. 1 is only a few feet away. The Islamorada Fish Co. is a leading waterfront restaurant. Tourist attractions include the Theater of the Sea marine mammal park and Artists Village, a quaint mall brimming with local art.
Marathon: Hawk's Cay Resort on Duck Key is in a class of its own here. The Bonefish Resort and Continental Inn are less-pretentious alternatives. Keys Fisheries restaurant and market have seafood right off the boat or will send it to your home on ice. The Dolphin Research Center, the Museum of Natural History at Crane Point and the Pigeon Key tour make a rainy day welcome.
Lower Keys: Little Palm Island Resort and Spa, on its own island, offers one of the finest resorts and dining experiences in Florida. Parmer's Resort has a nice bayside location, while the Caribbean Village is an affordable last stop before Key West. Don't miss the cracked conch sandwich at Mangrove Mama's on Sugarloaf Key. Outdoor sports reign in this part of the Keys: diving and snorkeling at Looe Key, beachcombing and camping at Bahia Honda State Park, hiking and wildlife watching at Key Deer National Wildlife Refuge.
Key West: Major resorts (the Hilton, Hyatt, Pier House Resort) dominate Old Town and the port, but Key West brims with small guest houses (Gardens Hotel, La Mer House, Westwinds Inn) and lodges (Southernmost Hotel, Key Lime Inn). The Half Shell Raw Bar is one of a dozen restaurants overlooking the harbor. Sloppy Joe's decorates its walls with photos of Hemingway look-alikes, but Papa actually spent most of his bar time in Capt. Tony's Saloon. Make time to shoot pool with the quirky locals at the Green Parrot. The nightly Sunset Celebration, at Mallory Square on the north end of Duval Street, is a Key West tradition. Key West's south edge is lined with beaches, the most sand south of Miami. Don't miss the day boat tour to Dry Tortugas National Park, one of the most incongruous places in America, with its huge brick fortress and incredible sea life.
Room rates: The Keys have a hotel room, vacation rental or campsite for any travel budget. Nightly room rates range from $45 during summer's low season to more than $2,000 during winter's high season.

text: To Paul119: I was in Turkey in May and loved all of the lamb I could get. I just moved from Saudi Arabia to Afghanistan and would bet a pretty penny that most beef and lamb in Turkey and for much of the broader Middle East is grass fed. I wouldn't worry to much. I'd be concerned about living in the West and eating grain fed beef (gives me the creeps). I say chow down on anything you can find, especially from a butcher's shop that gets daily shipments of cow, lamb, and chicken! Bottoms up!

COMSTOCK TOWNSHIP — Todd Mora will become the interim superintendent at Comstock Public Schools.
The Board of Education appointed its longtime executive director of finance and school operations, as well as its treasurer, on a unanimous vote at Monday night's meeting. Mora will temporarily fill the position being vacated June 30 by Superintendent Sandra Standish, who submitted her letter of retirement March 14.
Mora on Monday addressed the board's foremost concern about his qualifications — his lack of curriculum experience — by saying that Comstock High School Assistant Principal Jill Ansell will serve as director of curriculum instruction.
"That's someone who will be my go-to person to work out curriculum issues," he said. "There will be a learning curve and we'll work on that, but there are ways to work out next year's curriculum issues. I feel very confident that we can work out any problems that come up."
Long after launching her 32-year career with Comstock Public Schools as a cheerleading coach, Standish served as assistant superintendent for five years before succeeding former superintendent David Hutton in 2008.
"Going forward we're going to face huge challenges, but I feel we have a very good staff," Standish said Monday. "I'm so excited about the curriculum instruction for this district. It's really strong and I'm very pleased."
Mora credited Standish for being a role model to him as he prepares to fill her shoes when the current academic year ends. "I would be remiss if I didn't mention the leadership that Dr. Standish has shown, leading this district with grace and excellence," Mora said, after the vote to appoint him interim superintendent.
The board on Monday did not address a timeline or costs for a possible search for its permanent superintendent.

When Catholic girls go bad, they go real bad. They question nuns, smoke at CYO dances and wear black leotards. And if they're like Linda Fiorentino, blessed with miles of olive legs, dark eyes and a pout that would perturb a parish priest, they drive the boys crazy.
Fiorentino, 27, is a smart, sharp Italian kid who wanted a life outside of South Jersey, the parish and the statue of the Virgin Mary in the front yard. Her exit off the Jersey Turnpike happened to be acting: As a neophyte, she earned excellent notices as Matt Modine's older woman in Vision Quest and currently shares top billing with Anthony Edwards in the hit "Gotcha!," again portraying an experienced femme fatale who relieves the young hero of his innocence. Indeed, practically her first words to Edwards are, "I like virgins. I like soft skin over tight 18-year-old bodies." Says Fiorentino with a wry smile, "I'm the virgin deflowerer of Hollywood. I break in all the boys."
And if the critics didn't like "Gotcha!"—well, neither, particularly, did she. As the sultry Czech chick Sasha, Fiorentino spends most of the movie turning up the collar on her trench coat while sucking on French cigarettes; at other times, she's transforming the Bambi-esque Edwards into a buck. "It's not my kind of film," she admits with a throaty chuckle. (Linda explains that her Dietrich voice comes from "the wear and tear of years of smoking and cheerleading.")
Though making the film was fun ("Go to Europe and get paid for it! Of course I loved it"), Fiorentino is sick of the teen sex flick genre: Take a batch of kids suffering from a kind of St. Vitus dance sexuality, add an improbable situation, sprinkle liberally with moronic authority figures and throw the slop on the teen market as some sort of pre-or post-Burger King snack. "These kinds of movies are like drinking beer all the time," says Fiorentino. "Teenagers aren't just interested in getting laid. I won't believe that's all they're interested in. I have four younger sisters and they are sick of being shown how they are supposed to react in bed. People over 30 are interested in sex too, but they get real movies about it." As for Linda's own love life, "I go out with men, not boys," she says. For 18 months she's been dating writer-director John (The Razor's Edge) Byrum, 38. There are no marriage plans as yet. "Marriage is a financial contract; I have enough contracts already!" What she needs now is a better role. "All the scripts I'm getting are about the girl who first laid Tom Cruise or the girl who first laid Sean Penn. That's all I'm seeing. I'm not sure about this movie star thing," she says.
Her doubts about fame emerged during a Miami walkout on the publicity tour for Vision Quest. When the publicists from Warners arrived at Fiorentino's hotel to escort her to her maiden interview, they discovered she had checked out. Fiorentino won't discuss why, except to say that the star-making machinery makes her uncomfortable. "I try to leave town before one of my movies opens." For Linda, there's clearly more to life than movies. "Acting is something you do when you can't make up your mind what to do," she says. "It really just kind of snuck up on me."
Growing up in South Philly and later Turnersville, N.J. gave Linda a street-kid sensibility. She's always had problems with authority figures. For her parents—a steel contractor and a housewife—"I was trouble," she says. The third of eight children, Fiorentino attended elementary parochial school wearing "up to the third grade, pinafores, then a maroon frock, maroon saddle shoes and a little maroon beanie. Do I hate the color maroon!" she says.
Despite the uniforms, Fiorentino enjoyed her childhood. A bright student, she would "argue with the nuns about the Bible and they seemed to love it." And, at 57", she was a wicked, in-your-face rebounder under the boards, excelling in basketball, baseball and cheerleading. Mom Clarinda, whom Linda visits regularly, pooh-poohs her daughter's rebel stance. "Linda has a great facade. She comes off as very bold, but she's really very shy."
While attending college at Rosemont, Villanova's sister school, Fiorentino fell in with a crowd of "rich Puerto Ricans and Cubans" and found herself in plays because "everyone in the theater there was really wierd." Reacting against the pink buttoned-down perkiness of the coeds ("They wore pastels, I wore black"), she abandoned the world of her girlhood. "I immediately adopted Nietzche and Marx—all the great guys. I was set on being the female Clarence Darrow."
After she graduated in 1980, her ambition to be a lawyer was replaced by an overwhelming urge to hit Manhattan, and acting was her excuse. To support herself, she became a bartender, a job she loved. "Getting people drunk for a living, I know about that. You become a pimp when you are a bartender, but I always thought of it like social work for the lonely."
After putting in an appearance at two cattle calls, Fiorentino decided that they were a definite "no-no" and auditioned for an agent who took her on. Soon after, she had beaten out Rebecca de Mornay, Rosanna Arquette and Demi Moore for the Vision Quest role.
As for the future, Fiorentino displays all the uncertainty of raw talent: Should she or shouldn't she continue what she started? In Martin Scorsese's next film, After Hours, she plays "a kinky sculptress from SoHo." And scripts keep pouring in, all of them offering her the chance to murmur "Darling, you were wonderful" to any number of recently deflowered hunks. "No more virgins," says Linda. "I'm not going to have this be my calling in life. I refuse."
Leggy Linda Fiorentino Says Gotcha! to Some of the Silver Screen's Cutest Virgin Hunks

For Cognac Makers, the Chinese Party is Over
French cognac makers won't be toasting the Chinese New Year. After several years of double-digit growth, cognac sales in China have tanked as President Xi Jinping clamps down on conspicuous consumption.
Shares in Rémy Cointreau, maker of Rémy Martin cognac, plunged nearly 10 percent on Nov. 26 after the company said it expected a "substantial double-digit decline" in profits because of weak Chinese sales.
The Chinese New Year, which falls on Jan. 31 in 2014, ordinarily would bring a sales windfall, with Communist Party leaders hosting cognac-soaked banquets and giving each other bottles costing $200 and up. But, Rémy Chief Executive Officer Frédéric Pflanz told Bloomberg Television, "We don't necessarily expect a bettering of the situation" for the next few months. Chinese distributors are sitting on large, unsold stocks and aren't placing new orders, he said.
In issuing its profit warning, Rémy said it remained confident of long-term growth in China. "We know [sales] will come back one day," Pflanz said.
But analyst Jonathan Fyfe of Mirabaud Securities in London says that lavish entertaining and gift-giving by the Chinese elite "is gone, and it isn't going to come back." Such practices, now frowned upon by Xi, accounted for about 25 percent of cognac sales in China, Fyfe says.
LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, the maker of Hennessy cognac, and Pernod Ricard, which makes Martell cognac, also have reported slowing Chinese sales. But Rémy, which draws 60 per cent of its revenues from cognac, is more vulnerable than the two other companies, which have diversified portfolios of drinks and other products.
Until this year, China had been the top import market by value for cognac, a form of twice-distilled brandy produced in western France.

HARRISBURG, PA. — Former U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter, the outspoken Pennsylvania centrist whose switch from Republican to Democrat ended a 30-year career in which he played a pivotal role in several Supreme Court nominations, died Sunday.
He was 82.
Specter, who announced in late August that he was battling cancer, died at his home in Philadelphia from complications of non-Hodgkins lymphoma, said his son Shanin Specter.
Over the years, Arlen Specter had fought two previous bouts with Hodgkin's disease, overcome a brain tumor and survived cardiac arrest following bypass surgery.
Known as a longtime GOP moderate, Specter served in the Senate from 1981 to 2011 and was the longest-serving senator from Pennsylvania, the Wall Street Journal reports.
Born in Wichita, Kan., in 1930, Specter served in the military and worked as a lawyer before heading to Washington. He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean War from 1951 to 1953. He then worked as an attorney in Philadelphia and served two terms as the city's district attorney from 1966 to 1974, according to the WSJ.
He also served as assistant counsel on the Warren Commission that investigated President Kennedy's assassination in 1964 and is credited with developing the "single bullet theory," the WSJ reports.
