The Power of Six: Google's plan for world domination. Also why the iPod Classic sucks.
I wrote a few weeks ago about Google's attempt to influence the rules for redeployment of the 700-MHz radio band in the U.S. for voice and data applications. Google said it would agree to pony up the $4.6 billion auction reserve price if only the FCC would first guarantee to force any eventual winner to keep the frequencies open in a variety of Google-defined ways — ways that were decidedly unpopular with incumbent U.S. mobile operators. It seemed to me to be lunacy for Google to deliberately po the mobile carriers if it wasn't going to spend the big bucks to actually WIN the auction. But what if Google DOES plan to spend the big bucks and win the 700-MHz auction? What would they do with it? I now think I know.
Google didn't get what it asked for from the FCC, which opted for a different definition of "open," promoted by the FCC commissioner. The commissioner's definition of "open" was also opposed by the incumbent carriers and, in fact, Verizon is apparently taking the issue to court, but I think they doth protest too much. The carriers can probably live with the existing auction rules. Fighting them in court is intended as much to signal Verizon's determination to win the auction as it is to actually overturn the auction rules. The last thing Verizon wants is for Google to enter the auction AT ALL, because doing so can have only two consequences, neither of them good from the perspective of the telcos: 1) Google might actually win the auction and impose the very rules it tried earlier to get with the FCC, and; 2) the mobile carriers might still win the auction but Google's involvement would cause them to bid much more for the spectrum than they otherwise might.
Google could make it VERY expensive to hold together the existing U.S. mobile phone oligarchy.
Remember that none of the existing U.S. mobile phone companies is currently lacking in bandwidth. They would love to own the 700-MHz band if they can do so cheaply, but they don't apparently have any real intention to USE it, which would mean building out a whole new infrastructure at the cost of several billion dollars. They just want to bank the spectrum and keep it away from Google.
It seemed to me that the greatest impediment to Google actually spending the big bucks to win the auction (they could clearly afford it) is that the mobile phone and data businesses aren't as profitable as Google's own search and advertising businesses, which means making such a move would hurt Google's earnings and be a drag on the price of its shares. This seemed to be the difference between Google posturing and Google actually doing something.
But then this week Apple began to bluster about entering the 700-MHz auction, which makes even less sense. Could this have something to do with Google? Like a lot of other pundits, I keep facing the fact that Google CEO Eric Schmidt is on the Apple board and expecting that association to manifest itself eventually in some form of product or service alliance, but that has yet to happen. Could this finally be the time? Apple AND Google have together more money than anyone except God, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Could the two companies be intending a joint bid of such grand proportions as to guarantee a win? And if they did, what way could they find to use the spectrum that wouldn't be a drag on Google's earnings after all?
So I thought and I thought and I came up with what you are about to read. As usual this is just guessing on my part, but I'm a pretty good guesser.
To start, I don't think Apple will actually bid with Google or even against Google in the 700-MHz auction. It would overcomplicate the five-year iPhone deal between Apple and AT&T - a deal that is already strained by the rise in third-party iPhone unlocking tools. (What was the chance Apple didn't see those coming? Zero.) While it is possible that Apple would deliberately go against AT&T because Apple is, well, Apple and likes to stir things up, I think there are limits to how much Hell Steve Jobs is willing to raise in the wireless space given the string of global iPhone deals he is still putting together. And Steve is cheap, too, meaning that he might not see this as a good use for Apple's free cash.
Besides, Apple has enough trouble on its hands with the new iPod classic, which doesn't work very well at all and is going to shortly create some PR problems for Apple. Rather than actually being a legacy device as the name implies, the iPod classic uses new innards and the software is creating headaches for early users.
The complaints I am hearing about the new iPods classics are (in no particular order):
- VERY Slow menu switching response
- Display of clock rather than song info when "Now Playing"
- Inability to use existing AUTHORIZED 3rd party dock products (including Apple-advertised)
- Audio skipping during operation
- Slow connection to Macs and PCs
- Inability to disable "split-screen" menus
- Lagging and unresponsive Click Wheel
- Camera connector not working
- Inability to use EQ settings without skipping and distortion
This product was clearly shipped before it was ready, so we can expect a significant firmware upgrade Real Soon Now, especially since the iPod classic is now Apple's ONLY solution for users who want to store more than 16 gigabytes worth of songs, pictures, TV shows, and movies.
So Apple will have its corporate hands full between now and Christmas, which is yet another reason why I seriously doubt the company will be involved in 700-MHz auction action. Apple's current rumblings about the 700-MHz band are more likely Jobs helping Schmidt. If the mobile carriers interested in the 700-MHz band think that it might cost them $16 billion rather than $6 billion to win the auction, they might not bid at all, allowing Google to get the property for less than it might have had to pay in a contested auction. At some price the deal becomes uneconomic for the mobile carriers and, given their small minds and squinty eyes, they'll see it as uneconomic for Google, too. "Let Google take the fall," they'll think.
But Google won't be falling.
The huge expense of buying the 700-MHz band and building out the infrastructure could be made a lot less huge if Google didn't have to build out the infrastructure. No traditional mobile company could get away with this, but I think Google could.
I have written about nearly all the individual parts of this before and even wrote a column putting it all together, though as my idea, not Google's. Maybe they have been reading me after all.
First let's start by looking at the infrastructure Google has already built or committed to building — the largest fiber backbone in the world and the largest and most widely distributed data center build-out in the world. Both are FAR in excess of Google's current or even future requirements UNLESS they are also intended to work with a massive 700-MHz wireless network.
Imagine a hybrid wireless broadband mesh network using 700-MHz connections for backhaul and some truly mobile links and WiFi for local service. Google has enough experience with WiFi in Mountain View to know that it isn't, by itself, a good solution for wide area networks. The key failing of metro WiFi networks is backhaul to the Internet backbone. But if Google used its 700 MHz band for that AND implemented it as a true mesh network, there would easily be enough capacity to serve almost any size network given a suitable number of backbone connections.
You can find my old column about just such a network in this week's links.
Google has experience, too, with hybrid wireless networks. Every Google employee has the chance to take a company bus to work and every Google bus has an EVDO-to-WiFi bridge so Googlers can surf the net on their way to work.
It would be really cool if this Google hybrid network was truly flat and could be maintained entirely within a single address space like, for example, the 76 billion billion billion IPv6 addresses Google already owns. The sudden existence of a massive IPv6 network would throw other ISPs into a tizzy and quickly drag the rest of the net into the 21st century, something else I could see as a Google ambition.
Finally, what links all of this together is something else I wrote about long ago — the Google Cube. This is an access device that contains 700-MHz and WiFi radios, a tiny Linux or Linux-likeserver, and a few gigs of flash RAM memory cache. It's these Google Cubes that will mesh together, acting as both WiFi access points and 700 MHz mesh backhaul devices. Throw in some local caching, video preloading, and truly local DNS service and suddenly you have a pretty substantial network infrastructure that is not only massive and self-healing, IT IS ENTIRELY PAID FOR BY CUSTOMERS. All Google needs to provide are several thousand points-of-presence (cell towers) to connect the local mesh to the Internet backbone.
Google couldn't do this with WiFi alone, but with 700-MHz meshing and backhaul they could make it work fairly easily and the entire network could be deployed in a couple months.
For those who can't think past search, imagine this also as Google's key to dominating local- and location-based search.
Forget about net neutrality and forget about making nice-nice with broadband ISPs OR phone companies. Google would overnight become the largest U.S. ISP with direct and very high-performance access to its customers, including those using the new Google Phone or any other phone that supports WiFi connections, like the iPhone and many others. Google becomes the biggest and lowest-cost ISP and potentially the biggest and lowest-cost mobile phone company in the bargain.
Heck of a deal.
Would you add into the mix Google's interest in FON, maybe as a kind of experiment?
A shake-up in the industry has been needed for some time now.
Please call up any wireless expert and ask them HOW MUCH data you can actually push over 700Mhz. You'll be surprised, it isn't a whole lot.

WASHINGTON — Both U.S. Senators from Massachusetts on Wednesday announced the Bay State would receive more than $32 million in AmeriCorps funding which is expected to place nearly 7,000 people with 18 different organizations across the commonwealth.
A combination of Corporation for National and Community Service grants totaling $32,933,000 were slated by Democratic Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ed Markey to assist AmeriCorps member groups tackling a range of issues from early childhood education to job-readiness and environmental conservation.
"AmeriCorps is an outstanding program that gives young people a chance to serve our country and strengthen our communities," Warren said in a statement. "I'm proud Massachusetts is a national leader in service, and I am very pleased these new grants will help thousands of committed AmeriCorps members continue their terrific work at nonprofits, schools, and other organizations across the Commonwealth and nation."
Markey added, "The programs supported by AmeriCorps are the programs that support Americans, and I am proud that Massachusetts is home to some of the most committed and energetic AmeriCorps members in the country. These AmeriCorps grants will continue the Commonwealth's strong tradition of service and strengthen our communities' schools, nonprofits and critical organizations."
Twelve grants totaling $7.9 million are going to support organizations operating in Massachusetts only, including: Massachusetts Lands Initiative for Tomorrow (MassLIFT), AmeriCorps Cape Cod, Citizen Schools Massachusetts, Boston Promise Corps, City Year Boston, JumpStart Massachusetts, YouthBuild Just-A-Start AmeriCorps Program, Massachusetts Promise Fellowship Program, Springfield College School Turnaround AmeriCorps, Tenacity Corps/Enabling Academic Engagement, Ambassadors in Mentoring, and New American Integration Program.
The Springfield-based program places AmeriCorps volunteers in city schools to help at-risk students improve attendance, boost academic achievement in literacy and math, contribute to their behavioral/social-emotional health, and increase academic engagement.
Another six grants are going to national organizations headquartered in Massachusetts that operate around the country. These grants total $12.4 million and will support AmeriCorps members serving through City Year, Citizen Schools, JumpStart, YouthBuild, and the Blueprint Schools Network.
Mass. Gov. Deval Patrick said in a statement that the grants will help AmeriCorps volunteers change lives and make the commonwealth a better place to live. "AmeriCorps is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and I look forward to another successful year of service and the extraordinary impact of our Commonwealth's programs," Patrick said.
In a highly-competitive grant cycle, Massachusetts won a significant amount of AmeriCorps money as investments in economic opportunity, education, veterans and military families and disaster services were prioritized.
"AmeriCorps members make a powerful impact on the toughest challenges facing our nation," said CNCS CEO Wendy Spencer in a statement. "Building on Massachusetts's strong tradition of neighbor helping neighbor, AmeriCorps members will improve lives and strengthen communities across the commonwealth of Massachusetts. As we mark the 20th anniversary of AmeriCorps, we salute AmeriCorps members for their dedication, and thank our outstanding partners who make their service possible."
Spencer noted that with federal grants going to the aforementioned programs also comes private sector funding which in this case is expected to "leverage an additional $97,987,676."

Wall Candy: London Print by Jim Datz
This London Print (£175) from Pedlars is one of the most original interpretations of a London map I've seen. I love how it's geographically correct (see how Old St pops out from Shoreditch!) and that the illustrations subtly capture the essence of each borough - I'm particularly fond of the book used to symbolise Charing Cross Road.
£175 is a tad costly but each print comes mounted, framed and signed by the artist Jim Datz. Did I mention they were limited edition too? See - they're practically an investment!
At least that's what I'll tell my bank manager.

By MATT DUNN and SEAN C. McCULLEN
BRIDGETON, N.J. -- The second man charged with murder in connection with last Thursday's fatal shooting in Maplewood Gardens turned himself in to city police this morning.
Bryan S. Jamison Jr., 20, was accompanied by an attorney when he entered city hall around 11 a.m.
Jamison was processed on murder and related charges before being lodged in Cumberland County Jail, where he joined the other man charged in the slaying. He is being held on bail of $1 million cash or bond.
Police on Tuesday charged Jamison, a resident of Fairfield Township's Gouldtown section, and Dante Hayes, 18, of Millville, in connection with the fatal shooting of 25-year-old city man Zebedee Erving.
Millville police arrested Hayes at 2:10 p.m. Wednesday after receiving an anonymous tip that he was at the Holly Berry Court housing complex in Millville.
Both Jamison and Hayes are charged with murder, conspiracy to commit murder, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose and unlawful possession of a weapon.
"I'm not ruling out additional arrests even though I believe we now have the two shooters in custody," Bridgeton Police Det. Lt. Michael Gaimari said this afternoon. "In fact, I can almost guarantee there will be additional arrests."
Hayes was arraigned this afternoon in Superior Court.
Hayes, of West Foundry Street, looked back at rows of people seated in Judge John Waters' courtroom, each of them a friend or family member of Erving.
Erving was shot in the face during a confrontation at Maplewood Gardens around 11:30 p.m. on March 13. Authorities believe the altercation involved members of the Bloods and Crips street gangs.
Prosecutors asked that the court keep Hayes' bail at $1 million.
As he has just turned 18, Hayes has no prior adult criminal record, but Prosecutor Jon Reilly said that Hayes has three prior juvenile adjudications for aggravated assault and weapons possession.
Hayes is currently on probation, Reilly said.
Gaimari thanked Millville police for apprehending Hayes on Wednesday and credited Bridgeton police officers and Cumberland County Prosecutor's Office investigators for their work in identifying the two men believed to have shot at Erving.
Police are hopeful forensics and ballistics tests will help determine whether Jamison or Hayes fired the shot that actually struck Erving.
Eyewitness statements and evidence collected from the scene indicate that both men fired in Erving's direction, according to police.

Hello from New Mexico.
I've been excavating and cataloging pioneer cemeteries for over 30 years. In the 1980s I even published a few works on the subject. Like most of you, I'm also an avid genealogist. While I enjoy finding the graves of famous people, I'm more interested in the common soldier and pioneer. Every one of them has a story.
As for genealogy, I am currently working on the surnames Trine, Minter, Dozier, Shackleford and Marquez. I'm also collecting the names and graves of the Maryland 6th Infantry.
I'm usually "on the road," so my photos come from wherever I happen to be. I've had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of wonderful people who share this love for history. Contact me if I can be of any help to you.
ABOUT TRANSFERS: I am happy to transfer anyone who is not my direct ancestor.

RE: Hanthorn
I am interested in the Colvin line and SHE is interested in the Hanthorn, yes made a mistake mine were 2011, so I hit send before thinking, I refused to give my email out just for that very reason; we had a local person send out over 1,000 emails in 1 day, the court issued an order on that, they were arrested and charged, I am so sorry; I was just trying to go along and felt I was being harassed by HER, had to do her work that I asked for; hopefully, the next day, the next month get better, OK?

RE: Elizabeth Hardesty Colvin Hanthorn
Sorry but now yours becomes a duplicate of mine, as mine was put in 2012; could you please transfer pics to mine?
So sorry about the problems, the angst and miscommunications; all I asked was for HER to tell me what (1) document has both names to show that they are the same person, to let me find it; no I have to go and duplicate all the extra not-really-needed research she has done to find what I asked for and she already had it, just would not tell me about.
Because the obit I have does not show the second marriage or children even (What? Why? I know the Colvin one was very high politically and socially, perhaps she thought it was a downgrade, who knows?) As well has her Colvin son's has nothing about half-brothers or half-sisters.

Me again! Eddie - yes, I would like you to reinstall or recreate the memorial for Elizabeth Hardesty Colvin Hanthorn. I have been adding her site to her children, so when you have the site back up, I will add whatever has not transferred over to the existing page. Please let me know what else you might need.
Thank you so much for your offer and then it will be with her husband, Thomas Hanthorn, which I believe is your page also.

RE: Allen County
Thanks, Eddie.
I won't upset the person in charge of the memorial any more. If you would send the pictures to me so I can add them to my Ancestry.com record for Elizabeth, I would be grateful. My e-mail is: firstname.lastname@example.com. This one really did try my patience. She still seems to refuse to give Elizabeth her proper name even tho' she had all but one of her children with Thomas Hanthorn. One son was an attorney in Indiana. I have over 20,000 people in my tree - not saying I might not have some errors in a few - starting out we are not always as good or careful as we should be, but time does give us lessons. I correct things when I find them. And when I work in Find A Grave, I have facts in front of me. I have not figured out how to send attachments on this public message site. The source she quoted is one I have had for a long time and one I thought she would not accept. But I did have things I could have sent her. One day, I will be sure Elizabeth has her proper respect and her proper name.
Thanks to both e-mails. And I may make use of your allen co. site. For now I rest assured your tombstone is the one and have her right. It can be confounding!

Eddie -
Is it possible you still have the cemetery pictures for her? If so, would it be possible for you to send them to me?
My e-mail is email@example.com.
I would appreciate having them for my page.
Just an FYI:
The following is a link to a family history which mentions the relationship. Elizabeth Hardesty Colvin Hanthorn's sister, both daughters of Henry Hardesty and Elizabeth Matheny Hardesty, married into the Branstetter family.
I really am not crazy!

Please replace your memorial, as I am sure with all the paperwork that I have, obit, will, censuses, political articles, they are 2 very different ladies, and yes I did file a grievance with Find A Grave on Mary Counts Lichtenwald, this is plain ridiculous to have to go through this day after day, when I already knew that she had not ever remarried BUT..... MCL would not listen, that she is right and all the research that I have already done is wrong and wasted; no I have way too many Is that are dotted and Ts that are crossed. Let me know how it goes.

Thanks so much. May have to take a weekend drive! I feel this person needs to tell me why I am wrong. Perhaps I need to file a grievance. There are census and family history records - she wants marriage records and in Ohio not easy to come by. I am assuming it is a she.

Skid lids will become mandatory for juvenile bikers and skaters soon, as the Child Helmet Safety Act takes effect July 1 in New Mexico.
The law states that anyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet when riding a bicycle, tricycle, inline and roller skates, skateboard or scooter on public property. It would include those riding on streets, sidewalks, skateparks and other public property.
"This is the most comprehensive law in the United States," said John McPhee, child injury prevention coordinator for the New Mexico Department of Health.
Written into the law is the fact that children riding a tricycle are also required to wear a helmet. Something that is not covered in laws that are in effect for 21 states and the District of Columbia, McPhee said.
According to McPhee, data shows that pediatricians report that children in the 2- to 5-year-old age range sustain head injuries due to tricycles. By enforcing helmet use early in life, many of these injuries could be prevented.
Locally, the Portales Recreation Center has been preparing to abide by the law once it becomes effective. The sign at the skatepark has been changed giving details on the law. The recreation center staff has also applied for assistance from Wal-Mart to purchase helmets for kids who do not have one, said Johnny Ledbetter, Portales recreation center director.
"Those who don't have helmets can leave collateral and use a helmet at the skatepark from the rec. center," Ledbetter said.
During hours of operation at the recreation center, Ledbetter and his staff will monitor children who are using the skatepark to ensure that they are wearing the helmets.
"We plan on enforcing the law. We're going to approach it in a positive manner," Ledbetter said.
The law will be enforced throughout the city of Portales. Officers on routine patrol will be on the lookout for children not wearing their helmets. If a child is caught not wearing a helmet, parents can expect to be fined $10 for the offense, said Capt. Lonnie Berry, spokesperson for the Portales Police Department.
"It will take a few weeks to get used to it. We will have to work with everyone to make sure they understand," Berry said.
At a glance
• The United States has 85 million bicycle riders.
• 784 bicyclists died on US roads during 2005, 92 percent (720) died in crashes with motor vehicles.

|[TowerTalk] Lightning problem
|Les Kalmus <email@example.com>
|Sun, 10 Dec 2006 19:08:04 -0500
My tower is about 380 feet from the house and the tower and all coax lines are grounded lightning protected with no problems through a number of bad local storms. However, I have a TopTen band decoder switching a TopTen antenna switch mounted near the base of the tower. At the tower base, the switch control lines lines ran through a Polyphaser lightning arrester usually used for rotator protection. These are rated at 82 volts cutoff. When lightning struck a neighbor's house about 1/2 mile away, the pulse did no damage to anything else but destroyed every active component in the decoder. I repaired the device and replaced the Polyphaser with an I.C.E. arrester rated at a cutoff of 20V. Last weekend when the wild windy storm front that battered the northeast passed through here, there apparently was a lightning and thunderstorm. When I returned home from a trip I found the decoder was again severely damaged with almost all the active components ruined but no other equipment damaged. Since installation, this is at least the 6th time some or all of the band decoder innards have been damaged by lightning and although I am now an expert in debugging and fixing the problem it has gotten real old. Anyone have any ideas how I can better protect this device? TIA. 73, Les W2LK _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list firstname.lastname@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk

When I was a kid growing up in suburban Detroit, Saturday afternoons on WJBK channel 2 were given over to Sir Graves Ghastly who brought young viewers like myself a first taste of scary monsters and demons through the cathode ray tube. Late nights were owned by The Ghoul whose combination of schlock humor and really bad offerings made Saturday Night Live unnecessary.
These movies weren't so much scary as a way to spend a frigid Saturday afternoon or stay awake until Dad got home from work. But there were indeed some memorable movies from that time. Couple those with several shocking thrillers to arrive since then, my list of classic horror films wasn't too hard to complete. Let me warn you, Vincent Canby and Pauline Kael would not approve of what follows. That said the list also strays at least in one instance from what is commonly considered "classic horror."

The Thompson family were then members of the Nottingham Cooperative Society which had a number of branches in Boston, Lincolnshire.

|Beginning in 1968, David began decades of work with Cesar Chavez and the UFW. David was on the security detail for Cesar just as he had been for Robert F. Kennedy. Over the years, Cesar asked David to help with a number of farmworker cooperatives (worker, producer, housing and consumer). Three of them were financed by NCB. Cesar was one of the most knowledgeable people about cooperatives in the US and studied them enthusiastically. Due to his interest, Cesar actually visited Mondragon in Spain. He always told me that if he had not given his life to the UFW he would have given it to cooperatives. David is pictured with Cesar at La, Paz in California in the 1990's. David was visiting Cesar with his business partner Luke Watkins to talk about consumer and housing cooperatives.

DOI's Samia Ghadie and Sylvain Longchambon fuel dating rumours as she meets his parents
Coronation Street star and skating partner continue to avoid relationship claims after scorching Dancing On Ice performance

THEIR performance was a scorcher.
Dancing On Ice's Samia Ghadie and Sylvain Longchambon fuelled dating rumours when it emerged that she had met the skater's parents.
The former Coronation Street star, who's dismissed claims of a romance between the pair, met her DOI partner's family this week.
[ Related article: Amy Childs tells new! what she thought of Pamela Anderson on Dancing On Ice 2013 ]
The news was announced moments before the couple performed their battle routine against Olympian Luke Campbell last night.
Looking closer than ever and impressing the judges, Robin Cousins referred to the soap star as a 'little minx' when they finished the scorching routine.
In a recent interview, Samia told the Daily Star: "I can see how you'd end up in a relationship with your partner.
"You get to know each other intensely and there is a lot of trust.
"He is so kind, patient and thoughtful."

Syracuse, N.Y. — Kris Joseph was a bit perplexed.
There he was, working out in Dijon in preparation of his French Pro A League season, when he learned the Westchester Knicks had selected him in a D-League expansion draft.
Joseph, whose longtime girlfriend is expecting the couple's first child later this month, contacted his agent to determine what that draft meant. He had every intention of playing in France this season. He speaks the language. He signed a contract.
"They went ahead and drafted me anyway," Joseph said in a direct message. "They have my rights, is all. If I ever go back to the D-League, I will have to play for them, basically."
The Westchester franchise, in its inaugural season, selected 16 players from unprotected D-League team rosters in Wednesday's expansion draft. According to the team's website:
"The selected players comprise Westchester's 2014-15 Returning Player List. If the players sign an NBA Development League contract for either of the next two seasons, Westchester will have right of first refusal, giving the Knicks rights to players for two seasons."
Joseph's Dijon team starts its season on Sept. 27.

John Hussey has become the 124th president of the Irish Rugby Football Union.
The Dubliner created a piece of sporting history when he became the first member of St Mary's College RFC to be enrolled as president at the union's annual council meeting at the Aviva Stadium.
He assumes the highest office in Irish rugby following a lifelong association with St Mary's College.
Hussey, who was president of the club for the 1988-89 season, was a member of the school's junior and senior cup teams but had his playing career cut short by a series of injuries.
The chartered accountant was a director of New Stadium Ltd which has been responsible for the development of the Aviva Stadium.
President of the Leinster Branch from 1998-99, he was first elected to the IRFU in 1996.
Meanwhile, Honorary Treasurer Tom Grace presented the final accounts for the season.
Grace reported that the IRFU made a surplus of €6.8m for the year 2010-11 in line with its budgeted outcome.
This surplus arises from revenues of €69.3m and expenditure of €62.5m.
Despite the difficult operating circumstances the IRFU again invested over €10m in domestic and community rugby support and development.
However, while reporting a surplus, Grace sounded a cautionary note to this and said: "In arriving at this net surplus it is important to note that some €14m of revenues and €7m of costs are non-cash items.
"This effectively means that the IRFU generated no net cash from its operations during the year."

The Western Michigan University women's basketball team shot just 28.8 percent from the floor on its way to a 83-56 loss to Eastern Michigan Wednesday night in the Play 4Kay annual pink game at University Arena.
Mid-American Conference First team guard Tavelyn James led the Eagles with a game-high 30 points. James entered the contest ranked second in the nation with a 24.3 ppg scoring average.
Western Michigan post players Rachel Adaline and Robin Giden combined for 24 points, but the Broncos struggled otherwise offensively.
Adaline recorded a team-high and career-best 14 points, while also hauling in seven rebounds. Giden came off the bench to tally 10 points and eight boards. WMU was outscored in the paint, 56-22.
WMU leading scorer Maria Iaquaniello was held below her 13.5 points per-game season average, finishing with eight points.
Natachia Watkins got things rolling for Eastern Michigan, scoring 10 of her team's first 14 points.
James became active midway through the first half and both she and Watkins had 18 points at the break, as EMU led 43-24.
Watkins was held to just two points the rest of the game but Olivia Fouty stepped up in her place, scoring all but three of her 13 points in second half. Fouty added 15 rebounds for a double-double.
Eastern Michigan scored 27 points off 23 WMU turnovers and shot 50.0 percent for the game. The Broncos outrebounded the Eagles by two, 45-43.
Western Michigan slips to 6-19 overall, 3-9 in the Mid-American Conference, while the Eagles remain atop the West division with a 10-2 MAC, 18-7 overall record. WMU travels to Toledo Saturday to face the Rockets at noon.

(The Root) — With all the fuss over what's keeping black women and black men from jumping the broom, black married couples have been lost in the fray. Yes, of course they exist! In fact, the vast majority of black women and men do indeed get married.
Many of us are putting our own spin on how we love and make it work. The "traditional" route — love, marriage, then the baby carriage — works for some, but for others, love comes in the form of a blended union, a lesbian wedding or a multipartner (not-so-legal) marriage.
In a three-part series on black love and commitment, The Root will celebrate Valentine's Day by taking a look at how black folk are loving each other, the problems the community faces and the solutions for making it work.
For the third interview in our series, we caught up with Lamar and Ronnie Tyler, the founders of the award-winning blog BlackandMarriedWithKids.com and the directors of Blended, an upcoming documentary that takes an honest and transparent look at the difficulties of blending a family. With a blended family of their own — Ronnie had two children from a previous relationship, 19 and 10, and now they have two together, 6 and 5 — the happily married couple of eight years shared with The Root their insights on maintaining a united front, shutting down naysayers and making their family work.
The Root: Lamar, you didn't have children when you met Ronnie. Did you have any hesitation about dating a single mom?
Lamar Tyler: Not at all. I grew up in a single-parent household, so it wasn't a big deal to me. My only stipulation was that she was able to take care of them independently. Ronnie had two children, but she was doing fine raising and providing for them. She wasn't looking for someone to come and save her.
TR: When would you recommend that single moms have a potential mate around their children?
Ronnie Tyler: I don't know if there's an exact time frame, but you should have a solid relationship in place. When I met Lamar, my daughter, who was about 2 at the time, was with me. I introduced him to my son a month later, but he wasn't really around the children very much in the beginning. When he would visit me, they would be with their father or they wouldn't be there for the weekend. But when we got into a committed relationship, I had them around then.
TR: Did you face any challenges with the children before your marriage?

Goodness... I have always thought ham radio signals were "fatiguing" to listen to no matter what receiver I was using. Ham signals are INHERENTLY noisy, covered with static, hiss, and worse... played on radios that boast A WHOPPING 10% total harmonic distortion (THD) !... with an audio bandwidth between 1800 Hz and maybe 3000 Hz (at best) ... typically played on little 3 inch speakers... Heck - ALL ham radios are "fatiguing." I thought it just comes with the territory ! ____________ /// ___________ Sidebar - Don-cha think there are certain phrases or words hams love to say over and over again? A ham radio "mantra" or sorts - said as a substitute for serious analysis ? Like f 'rinstance: * "All antennas are a compromise." * "Verticals radiate poorly in all directions." * "digital artifact"... as in "DSP presents too much digital artifact." * "ya can't work 'em if ya can't hear 'em." -- or its corollary -- "I can work everyone I can hear." * "SWR ?... heck, you can make contacts on a 100 watt light bulb..." * "A dummy load presents 1:1 SWR, but you cannot transmit very far on it..." * "It is a great antenna... I made at least three DX contacts on it the first day." (in this instance, the unspecified DX were 2 Canadian stations and one Mexican station - and the reviewer lives in Kansas.) * " ________________" (Fill in your own favorite overworked cliche saying here.)

*Terms and conditions apply
Howard Hughes Center, 6080 Center Drive, 6th Floor, Los Angeles, California, 90045
The virtual office in LA in the Howard Hughes Center is on the sixth floor of a building that's part of a master-planned, mixed-use 70 acre-urban campus located in south-western Los Angeles, just minutes north of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). This means at least some of the local economy is about servicing the airport and aviation-connected activities. The virtual office is near to dedicated freeway on and off ramps, providing easy access to the San Diego (405) Freeway, the major north/south freeway in Los Angeles. The result is good access to nearby Santa Monica and Culver City, both of which are significant centers for TV and film production. The latter is home to Sony Pictures entertainment. Although entertainment is a well-known economic driver in Los Angeles, it's also a hotspot for international trade, aerospace, technology, petroleum, fashion and tourism, and the University of Southern California (USC) is the largest private sector employer.

Fort Meigs celebrates Masonic Order
THE BLADE/MATT THOMPSON Enlarge | Buy This Photo
A celebration for the Masonic Order of northwest Ohio was held on Friday at Fort Meigs.
The evening event was for the 200th anniversary of the founding of Army Lodge No. 24 and 100th anniversary of the Royal Arch Masonry Fort Miami Calumet Chapter No. 191.
PHOTO GALLERY: Click here to see more photos from the event.
The ceremony was highlighted by a replica American Flag from 1812 being raised by five officers in 1812 uniforms at the fort in Perrysburg. The 15-star flag was symbolically retired after two current members of the military raised the present-day American Flag.
There also was a dedication of a Memorial Walkway that honors founders and members of Army Lodge No. 24 who served in the War of 1812. The Blade was one of the sponsors of the project. Materials cost $3,500, and there was volunteer labor from the Northern Light Lodge No. 40 in Maumee.
Robert Rill, Jr. served as master of ceremonies.
The Northern Light Lodge No. 40 in Maumee, the Wood County Lodge No. 112 in Bowling Green, and the Phoenix Lodge No. 123 in Perrysburg were three Masonic lodges recognized at the ceremony. There was a dinner afterward.

Schoharie, NY -- For two years, Richard Ball has been helping to feed families in the South Bronx and Harlem from his farm in upstate New York's Schoharie County.
Some of those families were headed north Saturday morning to say thanks and help the farmer. His crops were devastated by the remnants of Hurricane Irene.
The visitors also will assist the Barber Family Farm. It was also damaged and faces losing most, if not all, of its crops this year.
Two busloads of people who participate in a local initiative called the Corbin Hill Road Farm Share program will bring needed supplies and meet the farmers. They have been providing fresh produce since 2009.
The program currently feeds more than 1,000 families in New York City.

|Our party of four arrived at Piedra Grande at about 13:00 on Saturday and immediately headed up to high camp. One of the guys in our party started feeling bad as soon as we got our tent and bivies up and ended up having a pretty rough night at 16,100 feet. After a sleepness night for all we got up at 4:30 Sunday morning to find that another in our party had succumbed to altitude sickness. We spent about 2 hours getting ice melted and eating and then 2 of us took off for the summit shortly before 6:30. We had beta from some climbers that were coming down the previous day that the route was to the left so we headed that way. Lots of dinner plate ice but pretty easy going all the way up until the last 200 feet or so. At that point the ice became a sheet with lots of rocks mixed in and the slope was between 45 and 50 degrees. Pretty tough to get the crampons to bite and without a rope we were feeling pretty exposed but continued up to the rim. At this point we were both pretty worked and there was some weather moving in so we decided not to go around the rim and bag the summit. The other two in our party started feeling better and ended up getting pretty far up the mountain before we regrouped on our way down. All in all a great experience but I think we will have to go back and get that last couple hundred feet. I would recommend taking a route to the right that will take you directly to the summit and avoid having to get around the rim to seize the top. We stayed at Hotel Gerar and were very happy with the accomodations and the gracious hosts.

|Route Climbed: Route by horseback from Esperanza Date Climbed: October, 1951 and November, 1956
| At age 17, I went to Mexico for the first time. After a rain-soaked attempt on Popocatepetl, I took a bus to the town of Orizaba where I engaged two companions, Jesus Flores and Moises Zamora (Jesus and Moses). Together we took a train uphill to Esperanza on the Central Plateau and hiked up through the forest and puna grass to an altitude of 14,000 feet where we built a fire and tried to sleep in the so-called "Cave of Death." The next day Jesus and I climbed up the ash and snow slopes of the south side of Orizaba for seven hours. We reached the summit rock before clouds closed in and a snow storm forced us to turn back.
Five years later while I was a student at Mexico City College, I went again to Orizaba with two classmates and took the same train to Esperanza. We hired horses and rode them up through the same forest and over puna grass to the same Cueva de la Muerte. It was on the holiday weekend of the Day of the Dead. Hence there was a good number of climbers on the mountain. After eight exhausting hours of eying the same rock above me, I reached it and realized that I had been within about fifty feet of the summit five years earlier in 1951. A fellow climber took a picture of me standing next to the summit cross with a heavenly layer of clouds beneath our feet. After a long glissade on the neve and long strides down the loose ash to the cave, we found our horses waiting for us. The long crotch-jarring horseback ride downhill to the Esperanza railway station took another four hours and left me numb from the waist down. It was well after midnight that a train from Mexico City awoke me from sleep on the station platform and took us down to our car parked in the subtropical town of Orizaba.
Hence very early in life I learned that Mexico is a splendid country of high adventure.

|Along with two of my friends from north México Servando and Néstor, and a new one from Puebla, Rafa; I finally summited this mountain after a previous failed attempt two years ago setting my new altitude record. I`m glad that we climbed this route since the winds were blasting at about 70mph making it difficult to even breathe and really dangerous on the Jamapa glacier. The wind chill forced us to retreat after only a couple of minutes on the summit. It was a great experience anyway!!!

|The mountain is really dry this season. We camp at las Cruces de Monterrey and make the traverse to the east glacier, severe of rock fall in "El Filo del Chichimeco", the east glacier is really short but its worth the climb, from 45° ant the begginnig to 70° at the end, the crater rim traverse is a pain in the ass, very long, got down via Jamapa Glacier, really icy and a little dangerous. Thanks to Joaquin Canchola for the ride to the hut

|After climbing Nevado de Toluca, I made the trip from Toluca to Tlachichuca on February 3, 2003. Arrived at Sr Joaquin Canchola in Tlachichuca at 3:45pm and stayed that night in his house. Next day (Feb 4), Canchola drove me to Piedra Grande and got there at 10:30am. I made my camp (13,970 ft) outside close to the smaller hut. That same afternoon I day hiked to 16,250 feet to speed my acclimatization. This hike to 16K took me 3.5 hours roundtrip from Piedra Grande. The following day (Feb 5) I took it as a rest day pretty much. In the morning I walked around not too far from camp, and in the afternoon I ventured lower to the Par Agua tree camp at 13,000 ft. Summit day (Feb 6, 2003): Woke up at 2:00am or so and started walking at 3:00am from Piedra Grande. I reached the main base of the glacier at 16,400 ft around 7:00am. This is where I geared up, putting crampons and pulling out the ice axe. When I got to 17,000 feet, I had to take over 1/2 hour break as I had this pounding cervical arthritis neck headache. I swallowed 3 Advils, drank like 1 liter of water, and rested. After 30 minutes or so, I began to feel better as my cervical arthritis pain went away. I resumed climbing and by 11:15am I made the summit. I stayed at the summit for 25 minutes. This particular Thursday was beautiful in the mountain (clear sunny skies, light breeze, not that cold). Surface conditions earlier in the morning (and even as I was coming down) were hard snow, a few patches of water ice here and there. But crampons bited well. I left the summit at 11:40am and was back down in my tent at 2:15pm. An hour later Canchola's son came by and picked me up. Mrs Canchola (Sen~ora Guadalupe) prepared me this delicious supper. I truly enjoyed her Chipotle sauce, simply awesome.

|Made it! Windy and goregous on the summit. Drank about 5 liters of water and consumed massive amounts of food (GU is good) Started at 1am, and hit the summit about 7:30. The view between the gulf to east and the plains to the west was incredible. Check out my trip report and feel free to e-mail me with any questions. What a great trip!

|Camped three nights in trees way below huts and took day hikes. Day before summit we did a high camp around 15,000 feet. Left high camp at 3:15am and hit summit at 10:17am and back at Piedre Grande at 4:00pm.
Clear sky conditions with harsh wind from mid glacier up. Navigating through rock field below glacier very difficult in the dark. Glacier conditions afforded excellent footing.
Didn't take enough palatable snacks and was boinking the last half of the descent. Energy "goo" or gels would have been the ticket.

|Our group of three people, all students from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign decided to travel to Mexico for the Thanksgivens holidas. We spent about a week on the mountain. Our summit route started from the high camp at 4950m. It took us 3 hours to reach the top of the vulcano. I have to note that all of us suffered from poor acclimatization.

We had done La Malinche New Year's Eve in sub-5hrs c2c with headlamps, drove over to Orizaba New Year's Day and hiked in to Piedra Grande from around 11,000' near Hildago. After a rather sleepless night in our tent, we got up and went for it. Trip report, useful information, and cool photos (hopefully) to come.

|Just got back this past Sunday night (Dec. 1, 2002) from Mexico. It was not a successful trip.
My partner mdostby and I had caught the stomach flu the week before we left. We met on Sunday, November 17th, and hiked to the summit of Mount Baden-Powell (9,399 feet) in the Los Angeles National Forest. It turned out that Mike had caught the flu through his son and then passed it to me that Sunday. Regardless, we departed for Mexico on Saturday, November 23, 2002.
I climbed La Malinche (14,640 feet) on Monday, November 25th while Mike sat it out with a return of flu symptoms. After that, we went onto the base of the Pico de Orizaba on Tuesday, November 26th. We spent Tuesday night and Wednesday night sleeping at 14,000 feet on the bigger hut at Piedra Grande. We had planned summit day for Thanksgiving Day, Thursday, November 28th. Unfortunately, we got stormed out on our summit day. It started to rain Wednesday evening and visibility was poor. It rained pretty much all day Thursday 11/28 and it didn't let up. We spent Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, Nov. 28th) in the damp, leaky and crowded Piedra Grande hut. The weather did not seem to be lifting, so at 5:00pm Thursday we made the decision
to retreat off the mountain. Bad weather, at the time, forced us to abandon our summit bid. Next day (Friday, 11/29) as we traveled by bus to Puebla, Mexico, we realized we should have been more "PATIENT" as the weather cleared up on Friday.
While at base camp, we did day hike however to 15,500 feet on Tuesday afternoon, and then day hiked Wednesday morning a little bit beyond the lower glacier up to 15,800 feet.
I am currently planning to go back and attempt Pico de Orizaba solo in February 2003.

|Day hiked from Piedra Grande hut area with Bob, Vesna, and JW (James Wilson). Bob and I made the summit and had it all to ourselves. Vesna made it up to the crater rim (~18,200 feet) before turning back and JW turned back about half-way up the glacier. On our way down, Vesna was pretty sick so I stayed with her for a slow but safe descent. The clouds came in and visibility dropped to 30-60 feet at 17,600'+ which I personally thought was pretty cool. Vesna and I saved 2 very cold butterflies at 17,000 feet. I found and picked them up while she carried them down and released them at Piedra Grande. We were unroped and didn't run into any crevasses. We returned to Tlachichuca the same night.
The previous night at Piedra Grande, Bob and I used his TNF VE-25 tent, Vesna used her Eureka! TimberLite XT tent and JW stayed in the hut. On our acclimatization hike the previous day, I saw a SD Clip Flashlight tent at the ~15,000' camp. At Piedra Grande, there was a another VE-25 tent setup next to us that was apparently used by a Mexican climber named Hector who had summited Everest and is of some renown. I didn't see Hector but I believe Vesna saw him with one of the Cancholas.
It snowed about 4 days prior and the conditions were not good for skiing at all. About 1/2 - 1 inch of styrofoam over hardpack or wind-swept ice. While a ski descent was possible (esp. for someone who grew up skiing on New England boilerplate), I didn't ski and don't think skiing would have been much fun. The conditions were, however, great for cramponing. Bob did a great job improving the steps near the top of the glacier just below the rim for an easier descent.
Within the previous week, 2 Americans fell on the glacier and were not able to arrest. Apparently they had sat down on the glacier and then started to slide. They ended up crashing into some rocks, one with a broken hip and one with a head/skull injury. Needless to say, they had to be evacuated off the mountain.
We stayed in Tlachichuca with Joaquín Canchola Limón and used his services for 4WD transportation up to Piedra Grande and back. We hiked Orizaba without guides. On our way down we ran into a group of 3 from Colorado who just arrived at the hut and had paid US$1,500 each to be guided up Orizaba and La Malinche. They were shocked when I told them it was possible to do Kili for substantially less than the US$5,000 that one of their friends paid.

|This was my second trip to Orizaba. Unfortunately it was not as successful as my 1999 trip. I did not summit due to bad weather. Spent nine days in Mexico with my good friend forjan who I met right here on SummitPost one year ago. This trip was plagued with problems before it even started. Both my climbing partner and myself caught the flu less than a week prior to our departure. On day three I relapsed with flu symtoms and sat out the LaMalinche climb. Day five bad weather moved in by 8:00 PM. Day six bad weather forced us to abondon our summit bid. We spent Thanksgiving day in the damp, leaky and crowded Piedra Grande hut. The weather did not seem to be lifting so we made the decision to retreat off the mountain at 5:00 PM. Day seven we realized we shoud have been more patient as the weather cleared up. By day eight my partner had caught a cold that stayed with him the rest of the trip. Basicly it seemed that this trip was not meant to happen.

CEO Spiros Hatiras said that the hospital has a goal of breaking even in 2010 through reduced overtime, the use of per diem workers and other outside contractors to reduce expenses as well as increase revenue from the recently expanded emergency room.
For 2009, he said he was assured by New Jersey Commissioner of Health and Senior Services herself that he would receive about $9 million in DSH matching funds from the state (but so far that hasn't happened). In addition, the hospital has applied for $10.7 million in "stabilization" funding from the state.
Asked if he has a contingency plan if the money doesn't come through, he said the hospital didn't -- resulting in great shows of consternation from the council.
Hatiras asked the council to support the hospital in trying to get the money. The council said it would.
During the session, Councilwoman Beth Mason in particular grilled Hatiras, at one point losing her patience.
"I'm going to ask for all these individuals to be terminated,'' she said.
"I think I can fix this, but if you want a different management company, that's fine. This is not about my job," Hatiras responded.

This article profiles the 20 best buccaneering full-backs in world football today.
This signifier is perhaps an over-used epithet, but its casual usage doesn't change the joy and excitement provoked by the sight of a full-back gallivanting forth, tearing down the flank or dribbling past opponents and swinging in crosses.
"Buccaneering" suggests high-risk and reckless activity, and indeed, while some of the figures celebrated on this list occasionally stray too far or attempt one shimmy too many, the very best have made it because of their boldness and their consistent contributions from deep, lateral positions.
For the purpose of this piece, only players who are primarily known as full-backs have been considered. Thus, the likes of Jonathan Schmid and Gareth Bale have been overlooked. Despite his prominence as a central midfielder these days, Philipp Lahm was eligible for inclusion due to his continued role at right-back for Germany and his historic contributions in this position.
All statistics have been sourced from WhoScored.com.

Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) The psychiatric center at the Greater Binghamton Health Center will remain open after months of outcry and pleading for the services to remain local.
Governor Andrew Cuomo made the announcement to state politicians and local health providers over a television conference Thursday afternoon.
The closure of the facility had been the topic of controversy for months.
Under the new agreement, the state Office of Mental Health will maintain 60 adult beds (down from 90) at the Greater Binghamton Health Center and add 60 new community residential beds.
The center's Child and Adolescent Units will stay open and also become home to a Children's Behavior Health Center of Excellence.
"Everybody worked together as a team to really make the point the Southern Tier deserved the basic level of inpatient services," said (D) Donna Lupardo, NYS 123rd Assembly, "And think the Governor and his team heard what we had to say."
Under the revised plan by the Office of Mental Health one adult ward will be reduced at the Greater Binghamton Health Center and the Elmira Psychiatric center.
Cuomo said that allows the state to reinvest $6 million into a combined 108 new residential beds that focus on adult services.
Some local leaders said the fight for local health care is not over. The Office for People with Developmental Disabilities still plans to close the Broome Developmental Center in Binghamton. The closure of that center still leaves 600 local jobs in jeopardy.
"While I'm grateful for the Governor's intervention today," said (R) Tom Libous, NYS 52nd Senate, "I remain very, very concerned about the other flawed plan released earlier this year by the Office for People with Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) to close the Broome Developmental Center (BDC). I won't stop working until that plan gets fixed too."
County Executive Debbie Preston released the following statement in response to Cuomo's revised plan, "Keeping the Greater Binghamton Health Center open is a huge win for families in our area. This will allow families of children who use these vital services to stay in our area rather than travel all over the state to get their children the help they desperately need. And we'll save hundreds of local jobs."


text: I've seen pics and videos of competitions where a squat spotter stands a millimeter behind the lifter and follows them all the way down and back up. Not only is this really creepy, but the slightest accidental contact from a spotter means the attempt doesn't count, right? Is there some reason the spotter can't stand way back and wait for the rep to fail, or just let them drop the bar?

The second annual Tulane Athletics 5K is 8 a.m. Saturday at the school's uptown campus.
Green Wave coaches, staff and student-athletes will participate in this event, with the goal being to increase the Tulane Athletics Fund (TAF) membership base to a record level.
Registration to either participate or sponsor a participant is still open, or by phone at 504.862.8442.
"Last year's inaugural 5K was a great success featuring more than 250 participants and sponsors which enabled TAF to once again break its membership record," said Green Wave athletic director Rick Dickson. "We look forward to this year's event and expect even more Tulanians and community members to take advantage of a fun, healthy event that at the same time provides support for our student-athletes."
Tulane friends, fans, faculty and staff, students, current TAF members, and any other members of the New Orleans community are invited to participate.
"There are many ways to get involved in this event. Last year, we had a great response from the running community, our booster clubs, current TAF donors, and faculty and staff. We hope to grow the participation in all areas this year and a key way to do so is to participate from afar by sponsoring a runner or walker," Dickson said. "You can be a part of the 5K by sponsoring one of our outstanding student-athletes or coaches, or any other participant as they put their feet to the track for a great cause."
Registration will begin at the Westfeldt Practice Facility track located behind the James W. Wilson, Jr. Center at 6:30 a.m. with the run/walk slated to start at 8 a.m. Afterward, there will be a party for all participants featuring entertainment and free food and beverages.
As an added benefit, all race participants are invited to Greer Field at Turchin Stadium as Green Wave baseball takes on UNLV that afternoon. Participants who wear their exclusive Tulane Athletics 5K event t-shirt will receive a free ticket to the 2 p.m. game.

Although UFC 157 will be a historic night for mixed martial arts, there's no avoiding the fact that it could also be a death knell for the careers of many female fighters.
Despite the best efforts of Ronda Rousey and the UFC, the women's bantamweight champion's debut is being built on a house of cards.
So far, only a small handful of women have officially been signed to the UFC.
President Dana White, for his part, doesn't seem too committed to women's MMA one way or the other, constantly claiming that he's testing the waters. So, what happens if everything goes south and the event is a total bust?
How could that even happen?
Well, there's more than a few ways Rousey's debut could flame out before it ever heats up. If any of these five circumstances comes to pass, UFC fans might be saying "so long" to Rousey and the women's division before the year is even over.

On behalf of the Snoqualmie Valley Garden Club, I would like to thank our local businesses for their generous contributions of plants, the community for its unwavering support of our sale, master gardeners for sharing their wealth of knowledge and garden club members for their unselfish giving of time.

text: I've got the application for a C&R on the way, and I've been thinking about a medium bore rifle. Sarco has some Husky's in 9.3x57mm that are awfully tempting (assuming they're C&R eligible). I do plan on getting one of the 8x57's regardless, once I have the money in the gun fund. But there seems to be a dearth of info on the 9.3x57. There's more, though still not much, info on the 9.3x62mm. At any rate, how do the two compare? Is the x57 that much behind the x62 that it would substantially improve the effective range to go with a x62? Can those Husky's safely handle being reamed out to take the x62 case? Would I be better off to spend the $550 on a new CZ 550 in 9.3x62 compared to reaming out the Husky?

Reviews for Ebony Sonshine Inc
Ebony Sonshine's energetic puppet show really brought the house down at Springhill Lake Elementary School! The educational show focused on the importance literacy plays in our lives and really drew in the attention of the K-3 audience! Thanks again for the awesome performances!!
We were part of the literacy Showcase Event at Greenbelt Middle School and we really enjoyed the puppets. They had a lot to offer to the students. Hope they will be able to expand into other schools with this great and unique educational performance.
Attached is a video of Ebony Sonshine Puppets performing their contemporary hip-hop rendition of the alphabet recital at our 2nd Annual Literacy Day Kickoff Evening Showcase Thursday, October 22nd at Greenbelt Middle School.
As the liaison for the promotion and celebration of literacy at Greenbelt Middle School, our goal has been to engage the community in motivating our students to promote and celebrate literacy. Ebony Sonshine Puppets has committed to partnering with Greenbelt Middle School to help us take our message and mission to the community of Greenbelt Elementary schools that feed into our middle school community. This initiative and partnership began in October 2015 (22nd) with our 2nd Annual Literacy Day Kickoff Evening Showcase 6:30pm-8:30pm in our multi-purpose room. Their contemporary hip-hop version of reciting the alphabet had our middle school students swaying and bopping to the rhythm of the music. I am excited with enthusiastic expectancy of continuing this partnership with plans to visit Springhill Lake Elementary during the school day for a literacy pep-rally that will include engaging the K-3 students with a puppet performance by Ebony Sonshine Puppets.
Great organization to be a apart of. This organization does great things in the community which we need more of.
Ebony Sonshine Inc. (ESI) is a wonderful non-profit organization and the best puppet ministry in the area. I am happy to be a board member of such a great organization. Keep up the good work ESI.
Well for the time that I was with Ebony Sonshine Inc it was pretty good and informative and helpful.
I met Ebony Sonshine, Inc. at an event in August of 2014 and I was very impressed with the puppet show they performed. After a lengthy conversation with one of the directors, I was very excited about being a part of ESI. I am an Educator, so when I was asked to be a part of their Life Development Division, I did not hesitate. It has been over a year now and working with the organization has been very fulfilling.
I have two teen-aged children of my own, so it feels good to be a part of something that is helping in the development of our youth.

I attended a couple of their fundraising functions and have seen serval of their ministry shows, reaching out to people of all ages...great organization!
I have been with Ebony Sonshine Inc (ESI) for over 15 years. It has been a delight in serving and performing for the community, church, and others. It is my prayer that ESI will receive resources and funding to continue their mission. They have touched many lives and have many great ideas to reach more young people in their unique and creativity way. However, they do need more serious volunteers (both adults and youth), which are willing to commit to the vision and mission of the organization. All the best to ESI.
If you have not invited Ebony Sonshine Puppets to participate during one of your events, you don't know what you're missing!!! They bring excitement and fun to everyone. We really enjoyed everything. We did a workshop with them and it was great. The children learned a little about puppetry and they allowed them to do a short song.

Letter from Thomas Bolling to William Bolling Concerning William Galt
Description:This letter provides information about what Richmonders thought of Edgar Allan Poe's "Uncle Bill" William Galt, the uncle of Poe's foster father John Allan. Scottish-born merchant William Galt made his fortune in Virginia and invited his nephew John Allan to go into business in Richmond as well. Judging by this letter, written by the grandfather of one of Poe's University of Virginia classmates, Thomas Bolling, the established "aristocratic" planter class of Richmond society felt a degree of contempt towards the newly wealthy merchant class Galt represented. Letters like this provide researchers valuable insights into the world in which Poe lived.
In this letter dated November 29, 1800, from Thomas Bolling to his son William Bolling, the elder Bolling complains about William Galt, referring to him as "Old skinflint" and expresses his wishes never to conduct business with Galt again.
When William Galt died, he left most of his fortune to John Allan, who used some of the inheritance to purchase a Richmond mansion into which he and his family (including Edgar Allan Poe) moved in 1825.

Area law enforcement agents arrested 18 people accused of prostitution and an alleged pimp over the weekend in northwest Ohio, including Toledo and Lima, authorities said.
Although children have been rescued in similar operations in the past, this time all of the arrested were adults, according to the FBI.
The effort was part of Operation Cross Country III, which was conducted in 29 cities across the country. It rescued more than 45 teenagers suspected of prostitution, some as young as 13, the FBI said.
The weekend roundup was in conjunction with a broader federal program launched in 2003 to crack down on child exploitation.
In January, a Toledo man who helped operate a prostitution and money laundering ring that reached at least 15 states was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison.
A federal inquiry into a child prostitution ring in Harrisburg, Pa., found that nine girls from the Toledo area had been sold as sex slaves as part of the ring.
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland signed into law last month a bill that increases sentences for crimes such as kidnapping that aid human trafficking. It also mandates jail time for convictions for promoting prostitution, using a minor in pornography, and endangering children.

"The X Factor" released an extended 8-minute preview video of Simon Cowell's new singing competition.
In the preview video, judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Paula Abdul, and L.A. Reid reveal why they decided to do the show.
The highlight of the preview, according the The Deadbolt, comes from two X Factor contestants who make it through the audition process.
The first is a 13 year-old girl that the judges love.
The second is a 42 year-old single mom who blows Simon Cowell away with her voice.
The series premieres Wednesday, September 21 at 8 p.m. on FOX. Will you be watching?
