Gore's TV Staffers Not Happy About Being Sold to Al Jazeera
Al Gore may have gotten a multi-million dollar payday from his new friends in Jihadland, but his Current TV employees don't seem so all fired up about being sold to Al Jazeera.
Current TV employees were called to an early staff meeting in San Francisco and via teleconference to the New York and Los Angeles offices in order to be introduced to their new Al Jazeera masters.
Ehab Al Shihabi, executive director of Al Jazeera's international operations, and Muftah AlSuwaidan, general manager of the London bureau were in attendance and so was Al Gore's partner Joel Hyatt. But, Al Gore, Current TV's globalwarming-pushing star was nowhere to be seen.
"Of course Al didn't show up," one staffer grumbled. "He has no credibility."
Gore has been pushing his globalwarming snake oil for years now and has always done so in the offices of Current TV. But now staffers feel Gore is "nothing but a bulls***ter" for having sold his stake in the cable network to some of the biggest oil producers in the world.
Some staffers are reported as having been disgusted by Gore's insistence that the network play up stories about how great Obama's tax hikes were going to be, yet Gore himself made sure to get his monumental payday before all those tax rates were hiked.
Already two of the flailing network's putative "stars" have announced they are leaving their shows. Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm was the first to announce she was leaving. This week it was Eliot Spitzer's turn to announce his departure.
Al Jazeera's top men say that they'll be taking over programming in April. The plan will be to "inform, inspire and entertain."

Honolulu police investigate an early Friday morning murder in Kalihi.
KITV got a firsthand account from a Shell gas station employee who saw the chase, right before the murder. The employee chooses to remain anonymous for his protection.
"He went to my door and started shaking my door, so I told him that the register was this way, and then that's when, out of nowhere, there are five to seven people, shirtless, really big, a lot taller than the person with the raincoat, and they were literally surrounding this person," said the station clerk.
That's when someone shoved the man in the raincoat into the gas station door.
"It looked like a really desperate look, it looked like he really needed help," said the station clerk.
He did need help, but he managed to get away, and bolted southbound on North King Street.
The employee thought the chase was over. It wasn't -- 30 minutes later, they were back.
"I saw a guy with the same raincoat on a bike still running from the five to seven shirtless people running straight down again," said the clerk.
At that point, he said, one of the guys chasing the victim was bleeding.
"His back was full of blood, I'm not sure if that instigated the fight but regardless it looked like a seven-versus-one," said the clerk.
Badly outnumbered, the desperate man ran out of time. He was found dead with multiple stab wounds just a few blocks away at Houghtailing exit. Police have opened a homicide investigation. They believe glass shards were used to kill the man.

group size for reporting purposes/ensuring privacy
group size for AYP calculations
of a "full academic year," to determine which
student scores count in AYP calculations
indicators for high schools and elementary/middle schools.
Illinois already has a definition for public high school graduation rate. As stated in the Consolidated State Application in June 2002, the graduation rate used in Illinois is derived using the cohort method (i.e., the percentage of ninth grade students remaining until graduation). The School Report Card data collection effort has been modified to allow for the disaggregation of graduation rate by the major racial/ethnic categories, and by English language learning, low-income, students with disabilities, and migrant classifications. This methodology is consistent with those of the National Center for Education Statistics.
The Illinois School Report Card data collection instrument is used to report, on an annual basis, a school graduation rate for every public high school in Illinois.
For elementary and middle schools, NCLB allows several options for an additional academic indicator. The Task Force considered many options, looking at various plans and proposals from other states. By far, most states were planning to use attendance for their additional K-8 indicator. The current Illinois statewide average attendance rate is 92%.
The State board also adopted the following recommendations of the Task Force regarding the IMAGE test for students with Limited English Proficiency:
The Task Force at its January 2003 meeting made a series of recommendations regarding modifications in the current IMAGE assessment and reporting. These recommendations addressed needs of students with limited English proficiency, also called English Language Learners (ELL). A primary issue was treating IMAGE similar to ISAT and PSAE in frequency, reporting, and the student identification system.
Specific recommendations adopted were:

Sun Belt expands by four members
March 27, 2013
NEW ORLEANS – A busy day in the Sun Belt Conference has culminated with the additions of Appalachian State and Georgia Southern as all-sports members and Idaho and New Mexico State as football playing members. All four announcements took place throughout the course of the day on Wednesday.
UT Arlington joins the Sun Belt on July 1, 2013.
"We're excited about the direction of the Sun Belt under Commissioner Karl Benson and the addition of these four institutions," UT Arlington athletics director Jim Baker said. "The strengthening of the conference just reaffirms our decision to join the Sun Belt. We look forward to building new and exciting rivalries for Maverick fans."
Both Appalachian State and Georgia Southern bring with them highly successfully football programs and each team will begin the process of transitioning to the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) immediately. The 2014 Sun Belt football season will mark the debut of both in the league schedule and standings. Additionally, both the Mountaineers and Eagles will be able to compete for the league championship in football for the 2014 season. Both teams will first be eligible to compete in a spot for a postseason bowl game come the 2015 season.
Idaho and New Mexico State are familiar partners of the Sun Belt Conference, having been football members from the league's inaugural year of football in 2001 through the 2004 season. Both members played an integral part of forming the Sun Belt Conference for football and now add strength to the league. Having reached the 12 team mark, the Sun Belt Conference can now play a football championship game should it choose to do so. Both teams will be immediately eligible to compete for the Sun Belt football championship and also for a spot in postseason bowl games.
There is no question that the Sun Belt Conference is a league on the rise in football. After all, the conference finished with its most non-conference wins in league history in 2012 and also sent a record four teams to bowl games. The conference also finished the 2012 season with its best ever average computer ranking – finishing ahead of Conference USA and the Mountain West.
The league also had two wins over top-25 ranked opponents and Louisiana-Lafayette and Arkansas State won their respective bowl games. All four Sun Belt Conference institutions that went to bowl games in 2012 return for the 2013 season.
The 2012-13 men's basketball season has seen the league put together its best non-conference RPI in four years while sending two teams to the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship. Notably, the Sun Belt's men's and women's basketball teams combined for a record tying seven postseason appearances this season.
In other sports, the league is known for placing multiple teams in the NCAA baseball and softball tournaments year-after-year. Baseball and softball teams from the Sun Belt Conference are usually easy to spot in the national top 25 rankings.
Through it all, Sun Belt student-athletes excel in the classroom as well. A record 1,793 Sun Belt Conference student-athletes earned a GPA over 3.0 for the previous school year and were named to either the SBC Academic Honor Roll or SBC Commissioner's List. The 2011-12 academic year marked the third time in the last four years that the academic honors were doled out to 1,700 or more student-athletes.
The Sun Belt Conference will contest the 2013 football season with eight members – Arkansas State, Georgia State, Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama, Texas State, Troy and Western Kentucky University. UALR and UT Arlington compete as non-football members.

Letter to the Editor(s)
As a man of the People, I am not adverse to opening up myself to the other side — to hear what the opposition has to say, to understand their positions and to really look at the world from their points of view. This willingness towards transparency is a fundamental step in creating good policy; and quite frankly, such idealistic strides are what makes being an US American so special.
That being said, even I have my limits. Rude, callous and hurtful remarks defaming my dear mother are not only uncalled for, they're sophomoric and as I have said here before, I refuse to acknowledge any like correspondences.
Well, finally, this freakazoid (who won't tell me his name) left my mother out of his hateful emails, so I thought, why not post some snippets here to show the dear readers just what kind of nutcase I have to deal with on a daily basis. He hides behind a computer, masked by the interweb; I know him only as:
…and he is absolutely chock full of misguided wrath.
Again, I receive a lot of hate mail; and that's totally fine. I enjoy it — welcome it actually — but this guy is so off-the-charts that I might sleep better if he just disappeared. In fact, this vigilante posting of mine is done in part because I'd like to leave a record of his nastiness — just in case I happen to disappear myself.
Remember, this is just a small sampling. I have edited nothing accept expletives (there are a lot, so hang in there) and though I may have taken some liberties in what sections I've shared below, I assure you nothing has been added or deleted that would distort the integrity or purpose of the emails themselves.
Shall we?

So there you have it, folks. A brief snapshot of the lovely, uplifting, always poetic words from cubluvr1995. My best guess makes him a pimply faced, braces-wearing, fat kid who has no life outside of Halo, X-men comics and Red Bull.
Maybe now that I've acknowledged his "grievances" and shared them with the public, he'll finally leave me alone.
But I am prepared that he probably won't. He hates me. He hates because he knows I'm right… and it's killing him.

Holy cow, Jeff!
It's a little startling that someone you've never met would get so riled up and would be so angry with you. This can only mean two things:
1. You're a very good writer.
2. He has man-love for you.
Steve T
Watch your back just the same this guy is a real nut case. It is just baseball after all
I'm glad that someone has finally spoken up with the same hatred and need for demise as I have for you Jeff. No, I'm just kidding. I got nothing but luv (not love) for you.
On a further note, this dude sounds like a complete d-bag with nothing to look forward to in his life than to try to bash you and jerk off to pictures of Lou and other Cubbies. This guy needs to go back and get his G.E.D. There are more words that you can write in your emails other than F**k, F*g, B***h, *ss, etc. Plus, spelling words correctly is not a recommendation or option, it is actually how you are supposed to write.
I am proud that I serve my country and have the honor of preserving the rights of my fellow countrymen. However, in instances like this, it is a shame that freedom of speech is allowed to a dumb*ss. Keep up the good work Jeff.
Jeez, I gathered from the posts that Allen didn't agree much with you but I had no idea . . . 8)
Michael Norton
Some Clubhouse
Thanks for the support, fellas. No firebombs at my house yet, but I'm sleeping with one eye open (russell) (jk). I am happy to report that I haven't received any new emails from cubluvr since posting this. We'll see. Allen, if it's reall you as Michael suggests, watch out brother…
As a lifelong Cub fan, I'm disgusted by the e-mails this person is sending you Jeff. I've only been reading RSBS for a few months (and while the Cub references do sting) I find most everything you write to be entertaining to say the least. I take everything you write with a grain of salt…not only am I a Cub fan, but I'm also consider myself a conservative🙂 I enjoy reading RSBS and l'll have you know that not all Cub fans are cowardly idiots like this person. I take pride in my Cubbies as I'm sure you do in your Cardinals, and, just like you, I say hateful and hurtful things about other teams and other players. However, nobody, not even you Jeff🙂, should be subjected to this torrent of gibberish from someone who obviously hasn't passed 3rd grade. Much love from a true blue Cubbie fan……and by the way, I love you because you're wrong. 😉
Steph — Thank you for the kind words and the support. As a Cardinals fan (and White Sox supporter), I was taught from a young age to strongly dislike (or hate) the Cubbies for the simply for rivalry's sake. I know Cub fans are raised the same way. Of course, eduated people like us know that this is strictly a concept, not an actual deathwish on living, eating, breathing human beings. It should never go as far as hating an actual person or persons. It's more just the red "C" on the blue cap… the goat, Leon Durham and Pat Hughes, etc. That's all. Conservatives… now that's a different ballgame all together😉
I am Jeff's Kid sister(the youngest) and that dude sounds like he is my age. Ok, i dont spell write(lol..right) but i wright better than that. I have seen worse but…man..better stay safe my bro.
May God Bless,
Cara 'n Secret

Forbes Names Eddie Murphy Hollywood's Most Overpaid Star
Eddie Murphy won't be proud of this accomplishment: He was named the most overpaid star in Hollywood by Forbes.
The magazine recently released the list of top actors and actresses that weren't worth their salaries. Forbes' methodology was comparing every dollar of their salary to every dollar the film made at the box office over the last 3 years. Thanks to flops like Tower Heist, Murphy made the list again - this time, at the #1 spot. For every $1 paid, Murphy's films grossed only $2.30.
Katherine Heigl was second on the list, with $1 paid for every $3.40 grossed. Heigl began to demand around $12 million for her acting services after she appeared in hits like Knocked Up, but her latest film One for the Money flopped at $37 million - against a $40 million production budget.
One of the more surprising entries was Sandra Bullock at #4. Despite her huge hit and Oscar win with The Blind Side, Bullock's last two films have been relative flops. All About Steve made $40 million against its $15 million production budget, and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close made $47 million on a $40 million budget. Her ratio was $5 for every $1 paid.

On the Big Island, a car struck a woman with a walker, dragging her several feet on Highway 19, according to police. The woman was taken to Hilo Medical Center where she later died.
The woman was identified as Pamela G. Wilson of Hilo.
It happened just after 9:30 p.m. Saturday night near Pukihae Street. The 53-year-old woman was apparently walking on the highway when she was hit.
Police say the driver of the car was a man in his late 40s or early 50s.
No word yet if speed or alcohol are factors in the crash.

Odd Man Out
Matt McCarthy pitched with the Provo Angels in 2002. His book "Odd Man Out" will be released by Penguin Group on February 19.
I came across a listing on the Barnes & Noble web site that former Provo Angels pitcher Matt McCarthy has a book coming out on February 19 titled Odd Man Out: A Year on the Mound with a Minor League Misfit.
According to the summary, the book will reveal "inside-the-locker-room tales of teammates who would go on to stardom, including Bobby Jenks, Joe Saunders, and Ervin Santana." It promises to expose "dirty truths of the minors: the Americans and Dominicans don't speak to each other, the allure of steroids is ever present, and everyone puts his own stats ahead of the team's success."
I'll withhold judgment until I read the book, but the claims that "Americans and Dominicans don't speak to each other" and "everyone puts his own stats ahead of the team's success" simply aren't true, from my eleven years of observation.

It sounds like Matt has an axe to grind. Congrats on making #6 on the leaders list!
Maybe the guy has never heard of such thing as a 'language barrier.' That usually seems like a logical explanation for that statement. Looks like an interesting book through. Good stuff.

Exhibition Game: The Phillies stay on a winning roll as they defeat Team Canada, 9-2.
Cole Hamels, in his first Spring Training start, would pitch two strong innings of shut out ball against Team Canada, giving up only two hits and a walk. Meanwhile, the Phillies bats would continue to pound the ball, collecting ten hits and four walks as they knock in nine runs, as the Phils would defeat Team Canada, 9-2. John Mayberry Jr. and Ryan Howard would lead the way with two hits a piece, while Jason Ellison, Raul Ibanez, Jeremy Slayden, Greg Dobbs, Ozzie Chavez and Ronny Paulino would each get a hit. Mayberry and Slayden both continue to impress as Mayberry would hit a double and a two-run home run, while Slyaden would hit a three-run homer in his only at bat. Ibanez also keep impressing as he would hit a double as he knocks in three RBIs. Howard would have the Phils other RBI.
After Hamels' two shut out innings, Dave Borkowski would pitch a 1-2-3 third inning, receiving the win as the Phillies would score their first runs (4) in the bottom of the inning, followed by two more in the fourth and three in the seventh. Andrew Carpenter would follow Borkowski, this time being able to records some outs, after his shlacking at the hands of the Blue Jays last Friday, when he was unable to record a single out, as he would pitch a scoreless fourth. He would then give up two runs in the fifth, making the score at the time 6-2 Phils. Carpenter would pitch two innings, giving up two runs on three hits and four walks, as he strikes out one batter. Scott Eyre would follow, pitching a 1-2-3 sixth, recording two strikeouts. Justin Lehr would then come in and pitch two scoreless innings, giving up two hits while striking out one. Jake Woods would come in to pitch the ninth inning, giving up just one hit.
Matt Stairs, who was playing for Team Canada, would go 1-3 with a single, as he would play right field.
The Phillies next game, also an exhibition game, will be played tomorrow against Team USA at Bright House Field in Clearwater, Florida. The game will start at 12:05 pm Eastern.
Like Julia of Julia's Rants is presently doing, I will start asking trivia questions. I will only be asking my questions once a week, and they will be either Phillies or National League related.
Okay, here's the first question, and its technically a two-parter: Name the last National League team among the classic eight (teams that were members of the NL since 1900) to win the NL pennant and name the last of the classic eight to represent the National League in the World Series? You all know where to find the answer.
6 Comments
I seem to have started a Trivia craze on MLBlogs! The Phillies seem to be doing pretty well in the pre-season!
Seems that way. And yes, the Phils seems to be doing pretty well. Hopefully that can translate into a good start in April when the regular season starts.
By last you mean most recent? Wouldn't that be the Phillies then? Unless I'm reading the question wrong (seems too obvious).🙂
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
No, I mean the last of the original eight: Phillies, Giants, Dodgers, Cardinals, Braves, Reds, Cubs and Pirates. The teams before the Astros and Mets joined the league in 1962.
OK, then that would be the Cincinnati Reds, who won the NL pennant and lost to the Yankees in the 1961 series. I just thought you meant of those eight teams, which one had most recently won the NL even since the league expanded to more than eight.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I guess I will have to rephrase the question: Name the last National League team among the classic eight (teams that were members of the NL since 1900) to win its first NL pennant and name the last of the classic eight to represent the National League in the World Series? You all know where to find the answer.
The reason is that the Reds is not the correct answer, as they won their first NL pennant in 1919, then won two more in 1939 and 1940. In fact, they are the next to last NL team among the classic eight to win its first pennant and represent the NL in the World Series. Remember, several of the classic eight had already won the NL flag before 1900.

Pepper Wreck
The Pepper wreck was found on the Tagus River mouth, Lisbon, Portugal, in 1993, during an archaeological survey promoted by the Museu Nacional de Arqueologia, directed by Francisco Alves.
From 1996 to 1998 it was excavated by the Instituto Português de Arqueologia / Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática as part of the program of the Portuguese pavilion at the 1998 world exhibition EXPO'98.
In 1999 and 2000 the remains of its hull were excavated by the Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática, with the support of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology / Texas A&M University.
Its excavation yielded a large collection of artifacts dated from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, and lead to the tentative identification of this shipwreck as the nau Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, wrecked on September 15 1606 on its way back from Cochin, in India.
The study of its hull remains - which include a portion of the keel, eleven frames, and some of the planking - yielded interesting results and a first glance at these largely unknown ships: the Portuguese naus da India.
Very few Portuguese Indiamen have been found around the world. To be true, not that many have been lost to start with. From an estimated total of about 220 India naus lost in the India Route over a period of 150 years, the majority may have been beached and their cargoes recovered afterwards. Many may have been burned to salvage the expensive iron fastenings.
Only a few have been found, and all, with the exception of the Pepper Wreck, either looted or salvaged by treasure hunters. This makes the small portion of the Pepper Wreck hull a precious archaeological site.
Excavated between 1996 and 2000, this small portion of the ship's bottom was recorded as best as possible. A few timbers were raised and are deposited in tanks in the former Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática, in Lisbon. The remaining timbers were wrapped in textile and buried under several layers of sand bags.
These ships are as interesting as they are unknown to us. For this reason, the research on the Pepper Wreck has continued uninterrupted since 1996 and has originated a number of other projects, designed to address the questions that stemmed from a first 2001 reconstruction of the hull.
Several virtual models have been constructed to test many different sorts of questions, related to the plausibility of my reconstruction: Did it float? Did it stay upright? Did it sail? What speeds could it reach under different weather conditions? What angles could it withstand sailing upwind? How was the sail plan? How was the standing and running rigging of such a vessel? How strong were these hulls, considering the scarcity of timber and the small size of the components of the Pepper Wreck hull? How were these ships conceived? How were they built? What sort of control was possible over the final product in relation with the original idea? Did they carry 450 people? How? Where and how did they live? Where, when and how did they cook? Did they bring back from India 250 tons of peppercorns on average? Where and how? How were the cargo and victuals stored?
The list of questions is long. Moreover, many answers raise new questions, making this research a lot of fun in a kind of a fractal way.
This webpage is intended as an introduction to this topic. I believe that without a wide public interest we will never learn anything about the Portuguese Indiamen of the 16th and early 17th centuries.
Short History of the Site
On September 14th 1606, after a nine months voyage from Cochin, India, and a three month stop in the Azores, the Portuguese East Indiaman Nossa Senhora dos Mártires arrived in sight of Lisbon. A heavy storm forced captain Manuel Barreto Rolim to drop anchor off Cascais, a small village a few miles from Lisbon. Here the nau Salvação, another returning Indiaman from the 1605 fleet, was already struggling with the southerly gale.
Dangerously dragging her anchors in the direction of the beach, the Salvação was too heavy to be towed against the wind by the galley that was sent to help. The next day, after seeing the nau Salvação run aground on the Cascais beach, Rolim decided to head for the mouth of the Tagus River hoping to escape the tempest in the calmer waters of the estuary. However, getting past the sandbars was not easy. Two large sandbanks narrowed the entrances, making the waters run dangerously fast in both the northern and the southern channel. Rolim headed for the northern canal, which by the early seventeenth century was already considered too narrow and shallow to lay anchor in, and too crooked for any galley to tow a large vessel out of. In the middle of the passage, the nau Mártires lost her headway and was dragged to a submerged rock. She sunk in front of the São Julião da Barra fortress in a matter of hours; soon afterwards she was broken up into such small pieces that witnesses commented it looked as if she had sunk long ago. Her main cargo of pepper that had been stored loose in small holds, spilled out upon wrecking, forming a black tide that extended for leagues along the coast and in the Tagus estuary. A large amount of pepper was saved and put to dry by the king's officers. The population also salvaged a notable quantity, as it was impossible for the soldiers to stop the locals who, despite the dreadful weather conditions, every night went to the sea in small craft to salvage what they could.
During the subsequent summers, the officers of king Felipe III of Spain - who was also king Felipe II of Portugal - may have salvaged a great part of the cargo from the shallow waters, and they certainly rescued cables, anchors and guns.
Just as many other wrecks that occurred at this dangerous channel, the Nossa Senhora dos Mártires was soon forgotten. The tsunami that followed the earthquake of 1755 probably rolled heavy rocks over its remains, and in 1966 a codfish trawler wrecked nearby the site covering a large area with other debris.
Stories of treasure troves around the fortress of São Julião da Barra were certainly transmitted through generations, and the spread of scuba diving from the early 1950s on heightened interest in the area. In the late 1970s several archaeological surveys were carried out by avocational archaeologists, but no governmental action was taken to protect the site. As a result the site was heavily looted by sports divers during the 1980s.
In 1993 the Museu Nacional de Arqueologia sponsored a survey of the site under the direction of Dr. Francisco Alves and identified two main areas of archaeological interest.
The second one - designated as SJB2 - consisted of the remains of a wooden hull with shards of Ming porcelain and Chinese earthenware dating from the late sixteenth or early seventeenth centuries.
Based on the information from the Museu Nacional de Arqueologia's shipwreck archives, Nossa Senhora dos Mártires was identified as the most likely name for this wreck.
Among them were Aires de Saldanha, 17th viceroy in India (1600-1605), who died just before reaching the Azores on his return trip to his kingdom, Manuel Barreto Rolim who was trying to make a fortune in the India trade after being disinherited by his father in the sequence of an unwanted marriage, the cabin boy Cristóvão de Abreu, who survived this shipwreck and the wrecks of the naus Nossa Senhora da Oliveira in 1610, Nossa Senhora de Belém in 1635 and S. Bento in 1642, dying at sea in 1645, returning from India as boatswain of the nau S. Lourenço.
No less interesting is the story of Father Francisco Rodrigues, a Jesuit priest who lost his life in this wreck coming from Japan to see the Pope on matters concerning the future of the whole Japanese Jesuit mission.
These and other stories have been published in the catalogue of the Portuguese pavilion at EXPO'98 under the title Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, The last voyage, Ed. by Simonetta Luz Afonso, Lisbon, Verbo, 1998.
Finally, in the summers of 1999 and 2000, the Instituto Português de Arqueologia through its Centro Nacional de Arqueologia Náutica e Subaquática and the INA have sponsored two excavation seasons on this site, aiming at what is perhaps the most exciting part of this wreck: its hull remains.
A section of the bottom immediately before the midship frames was preserved, including a section of the keel, eleven frames, and some of the planking. Construction marks carved on the surfaces of the floor timbers allowed us to not only understand the method used by the shipwright to conceive the hull shape, but to reconstruct some of the hull dimensions with a good degree of certainty.
It was a large nau with a keel close to 27.72m in length (91 ft or 18 rumos, the unit then used in Portugal), and an overall length of about 38.25m (125 ft).
The hull structure had been built with cork oak (Quercus suber), and the small size of the trees that were used forced the shipwrights to assemble large structural pieces from several small timbers.
The outer planking was cut from umbrella pine (Pinus pinea), with strakes almost 4 ½ inches thick (11cm), and caulked with a string of lead, which was inserted between the planks during construction. Two thick layers of oakum were pressed into the seam, against the lead string, and were then protected from the outside with a strip of lead. The protective strip was nailed to the outer surface of the planks using short tacks with wide circular heads.
Hull Remains
The data suggest that this ship had a keel 27.72m (18 rumos) long, a flat amidships of 4.11m (16 palmos de goa), a beam around 12m, a depth in hold around 9 m, and 39 pre-designed and pre-assembled frames.
A proposed reconstruction is presented in the book The Pepper Wreck, and the development of this project can be seen in other sections of this website.

Four of the 27 areas identified in São Julião da Barra as having relevant archaeological interest have yielded cultural materials dating from the late 16th and early 17th centuries, presumably resulting from the shipwreck of the Portuguese Indiaman Nossa Senhora dos Mártires, which was lost against the fortress on September 15 1606.

Ebb and Flow no more: Twin lunar probes crash into moon mountain
Final flight path for NASA's GRAIL (Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory) probes, which impacted the moon on Dec. 17, 2012.
December 17, 2012
– A pair of twin gravity-mapping moon probes ended their science mission on Monday (Dec. 17) by becoming intimately familiar with the pull of the natural satellite.
The washer-and-dryer-size Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) spacecraft slammed into an unnamed mountain near the moon's north pole at 5:28 p.m. EST (2228 GMT). The pair was crashed intentionally because their low orbit and remaining fuel levels precluded further scientific operations.
The impacts, which were directed by earlier rocket burns, were designed to keep the two probes from colliding with historic sites on the surface of the moon.
"NASA wanted to rule out any possibility of our twins hitting the surface anywhere near any of the historic lunar exploration sites like the
Apollo landing sites
or where the Russian Luna probes touched down," said David Lehman, GRAIL project manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Before each of the spacecraft's rocket firings, which were performed on Friday (Dec. 14), navigators calculated the odds of either probe impacting at an historic site at about seven in one million.
Locations on the moon considered "lunar heritage sites" and the path NASA's GRAIL probes took on their final flight.
Instead, the GRAIL spacecraft, which were
named "Ebb" and "Flow"
by contest-winning elementary school students in Bozeman, Mont., came down hard in the vicinity of the Goldschmidt crater located on the nearside of the moon. Each spacecraft hit the lunar surface at 3,760 miles per hour (1.7 kilometers per second), likely leaving skid marks rather than creating a new crater.
The collisions were separated by about 32 seconds, with Ebb leading Flow into the side of the unnamed mountain. There was no imagery of their end because the area was in shadow at the time.
Mapping their own demise
The $496 million GRAIL mission was launched on a Delta II rocket from Cape Canaveral, Fla.,
in September 2011
, Ebb and Flow arrived at the moon on New Year's Day.
In orbit, the duo's successful prime and extended science missions produced the highest-resolution gravity field map of any celestial body, providing a better understanding of how the Earth and other rocky planets in the solar system formed and evolved.
Image showing the variations in the gravity field as measured by NASA's GRAIL during their primary mapping mission.
The map was created by the spacecraft transmitting radio signals to define precisely the distance between them as they flew around the moon in formation. As they orbited over areas of greater and lesser gravity caused by visible features — such as mountains and craters — and masses hidden beneath the surface, the distance between the two spacecraft changed slightly.
"What this [lunar] map tells us is that more than any other celestial body we know of, the moon wears its gravity field on its sleeve," said GRAIL principal investigator Maria Zuber with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. "When we see a notable change in the gravity field, we can sync up this change with surface topography features such as craters, rilles or mountains."
In addition to mapping the moon's gravity, Ebb and Flow were also equipped with small student-controlled cameras. The MoonKAM program, which until
her death in July
was led by Sally Ride, America's first woman in space, allowed middle school students to suggest and target areas on the moon to be imaged for their study.
NASA announced Monday that the final resting place for Ebb and Flow on the moon was being named after Ride in recognition of her contributions to the GRAIL mission and the space program.
"Sally was all about getting the job done, whether it be in exploring space, inspiring the next generation, or helping make the GRAIL mission the resounding success it is today," Zuber said in a statement released after the twin probes hit the moon. "As we complete our lunar mission, we are proud we can honor Sally Ride's contributions by naming this corner of the moon after her."
The "Sally K. Ride Impact Site" is located on the southern face of the approximately 1.5 mile (2.5 km) mountain with which the probes collided.
Doing science up until the end
Ebb and Flow conducted one final experiment before their mission ended. The two probes fired their main engines until their fuel tanks were empty to determine precisely the amount of propellant that remained.
The data from these last burns will help engineers validate fuel consumption computer models to improve predictions of the propellant needs for future missions.

"One thing is for sure, they are going down swinging," said Lehman. "Even during the last half of their last orbit, we're [doing] an engineering experiment that could help future missions operate more efficiently."
Because the exact amount of fuel that was remaining on each spacecraft was unknown, the GRAIL navigators and engineers designed the depletion burn to allow the probes to descend gradually for several hours and then skim the surface until the elevated terrain of the targeted mountain got in their way.
"We have had our share of challenges during this mission and always came through in flying colors, but nobody I know around here has ever flown into a moon mountain before," said Lehman. "It [is] a first for us, that's for sure."

Fire destroys home in ChittendenBy Lucia Suarez
Staff Writer | February 06,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
CHITTENDEN — Heavy dark smoke covered a single-family home on Holden Road late Wednesday morning as local firefighters worked to douse flames that had spread to the attic.
Several firefighter teams used long prods and saws to make various holes throughout the house to allow smoke to exit the house while they worked to find flames and hot spots throughout.
A firefighter on the scene said the house is a total loss.
Firefighters from five towns – Chittenden, Pittsford, Brandon, Proctor, Rutland Town and West Rutland – responded to the scene around 10 a.m.
Paul Crain, who rents the house with his girlfriend and three kids, said he had just arrived home after dropping his girlfriend off at work when he noticed the smoke.
"I came in the door and whoosh (the smoke)," he said while looking at firefighters dousing the home. "I went through the smoke and grabbed my dog and got out."
Crain said nobody was home when it started, but said the flames were coming from the basement.
As of 1:45 p.m. the cause of the fire is unknown.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Vt. teens turn paint into political actionKevin OConnor / Staff Photo
Addison Rooney and Kate Conard, of Randolph, make a sign at the Governors Institute on Current Issues and Youth Activism now taking place in Brattleboro.
BRATTLEBORO Ask 15-year-old Molly Engels what she and her peers are talking about at this months Governors Institute on Current Issues & Youth Activism and she points to a full spectrum of societal problems and possible solutions.
We are the generation of change, she says.
Thats why the Rutland High School sophomore and 60 fellow Vermont teenagers have momentarily stopped texting and Twittering to dip into an even more fluid means of communication: Tempera paint.
When institute leaders at Brattleboros World Learning arrived with Dixie cups full of washable color, some students wondered if they had fallen back into kindergarten. But after instructors offered a crash course on the dynamics and durability of the protest sign, the plugged-in generation proved game to turn pigment into political action.
Randolph Union High School students Kate Conard and Addison Rooney tapped a smartphone to translate and paint the word peace in nearly a dozen languages.
Conard, 16, noted her father and grandfathers served in the military. She supports them but doesnt like to see anyone placed in life-threatening situations.
I feel very strongly about peace, Conard said. It doesnt make sense to be angry. It just makes things worse.
Were all one species, Rooney, 15, added. Why do we have to fight?
Montpelier student Leah Sagan-Dworsky voiced similar sentiments as she transformed a sheet of corrugated cardboard into a Jackson Pollock canvas featuring the words equality for all.
Im a feminist and a supporter of everybody having rights, she said, so I thought, lets make it colorful.
That, and she accidentally splattered paint all over her once-white paper, leading to a larger experiment in abstract expressionism.
Some signs played with slogans. (Drop bass not bombs.) Others poked at public opinion. (I love GMOs please dont hurt me.) And a few thoughts went undeclared, based on calls for discretion.
You can provoke, co-director John Ungerleider advised, but not alienate.
Thats not an effective way to start a conversation, colleague Simon Norton added.
Dylan McAllister, 16, of Greensboro, hoped to get people talking with a two-part sign. The first featured a drawing of a fish and a monkey beneath a tall tree. The second bore the word fair surrounded by question marks.
Have a few yourself? The Hazen Union High School junior and newest student representative to the Vermont Board of Education explained the signs to be a unique critique of standardized testing that expects all students, regardless of differences, to reach the same heights the same way.
The 25th annual program one of nine summer institutes that also include arts, Asian cultures, engineering, environmental science, information technology, mathematics and, new this year, entrepreneurship and Farms, Food and Your Future offers 12 days of classes in politics, policy and public service.
Participants are working alongside fellow World Learning visitors from Germany, India, Iraq and Ireland and the states of Florida, Illinois and Massachusetts. Vermonters say they appreciate the diversity.
There are so many cultures here, said Caitlyn Duff, 16, of Stowe.
And so much camaraderie, added Hawley Snipp, 17, from nearby Morrisville: I come from a school that is very strong for gun rights. If you have a different opinion, youre ostracized.
At the institute, young people are limited only by the amount of space on which they can share. Florida student Fermin Mendoza recalled the first day when, asked for their state, national and world concerns, teens filled an entire chalkboard. Thats why he painted his sign with the words, Acknowledge our issues we have many.
One of the reasons they dont get solved, the 16-year-old concluded, is people dont know about them.

What are your thoughts on racing at Martinsville Speedway? "I hate Martinsville (Speedway), but I do actually enjoy racing there more than I give it credit for. The people around Martinsville, Va., really love their racing and that's what's great about going to that area. The track packs the house and the (NASCAR Camping World) Truck Series puts on a great show. We had a chance to finish in the top five during the spring race, so we're going to go back there to try and get that extra three feet on the track that would have gotten us a second-place finish last time."

Grecia Ocampo
Political Science
Catalyst for Change
With her Twitter profile proclaiming, "Dreaming's what I do," Grecia Ocampo '14 obviously believes in the power of big dreams. Serving as president of Bradley's Anti-Slavery Coalition and the Association of Latin American Students (ALAS), she recently became a founding member of campus' new International Humanitarian Law Campaign organization. Sponsored by the American Red Cross, the team starts work this year to help students understand and respect international humanitarian law and principles.
A political science major with minors in Spanish and French, Ocampo first heard about human-trafficking crimes and the Anti-Slavery Coalition two years ago from her roommate, Melissa Zacarias '14, the coalition's then-president. Zacarias' passion intrigued Ocampo, so she began attending related events with her, watching documentaries in disbelief, and coming to the conclusion that "people in the United States aren't really aware of how far-reaching human trafficking is; some of the documentaries are so intense that students are left shocked and speechless."
ALAS also educates students on the relationship between immigration and human trafficking. The group screened a documentary last semester, Lives for Sale, that showed how the two issues feed off each other. "We like to open students' eyes to critical issues," Ocampo noted. "Perhaps if we solve one problem, we can impact the other."
The Chicago native acknowledges growing up in a bubble and being unaware of how dangerous the world can be. Since her involvement in the coalition, she has become inspired to reach out to the homeless population: "Ideally, I would like to work with the homeless because human-trafficking crimes occur so much more readily against needy people with no one looking after them."

Rutland woman arrested in South Burlington prostitution investigationBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | January 27,2013
A Rutland woman was arrested as part of an investigation into prostitution in South Burlington, according to police.
Courtney Samplatsky, 25, was charged with giving false information to a police officer and held on that charge along with a number of active arrest warrants, according to a statement issued Sunday by the South Burlington Police Department.
Sgt. David Solomon said investigators' attention had been drawn to the Anchorage Inn on Dorset Street.
"We're seeing more and more prostitution issues in the area," Solomon said, "I think it's always been here. I think we're taking a harder look at it because where you have prostitution, you generally have drugs, you generally have criminals. The guys pimping out these girls are not angels. They're not clean-cut businessmen."
Police had contact with Samplatsky at the Anchorage on Saturday after they smelled marijuana there, Solomon said, and the continuing investigation found that she had given them a false name during that contact.
It also found she "was involved in Internet advertising for escort services," according to police, and had arrest warrants with a total of $15,000 bail attached to them issued for her. Solomon said those warrants were for charges including forgery, driving without a license, possession of a regulated drug and possession of cocaine.
Solomon said there had not been any other arrests in the investigation as of early Sunday afternoon.
Samplatsky was held at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Center, according to police.

(Note: Since this story was written, fiscal cliff legislation was, in fact, passed, and the IRS updated the income tax withholding tables again; see "IRS Updates Withholding Guidance for 2013.")
