40 Women of Historical Significance in Montgomery County
Lillian Beatrice Brown
Author, community activist, educator, historian, principal and teacher, Montgomery County Public School system
Lillian B. Brown was born in Rockville, Maryland in 1912. The granddaughter of slaves, Brown attended school three miles away from her house on Avery Road, near Lake Needwood. She walked to school everyday. Because of racial segregation, she was not able to attend junior or senior high school in Montgomery County. After moving to Washington, D.C., she attended Shaw Junior High School and Armstrong Senior High School. Brown continued her education earning a diploma from a three-year program at Maryland State Normal College, now Bowie State University, in 1937. In 1951, she earned a B.A. from Morgan State College, and in 1953, she graduated from New York University with a M.A.
Brown started her teaching career in 1938, after she finished her education at Maryland State Normal College. That year, she became both principal and sole teacher at the Germantown Colored Elementary School. Schools in Montgomery County were segregated at that time, and African-American children and white children attended different schools. The one-room school, exclusively for African-American children, had more than 60 students in grades one to seven. In Susan Soberderg's book, A History of Germantown, Maryland, Brown recalled the obstacles that she had to overcome as a teacher in Germantown Colored Elementary School. The resources were very limited, and the building was far from being solid and adapted for teaching children. "Our materials were not the best. Our books were tattered and torn and the children often had to share a book for group reading," Brown quoted. The one-room school was heated by a pot-bellied stove fueled by wood and coal.
There were so many cracks in the walls that the wind would blow over Brown's hand as she wrote on the blackboard. The restrooms were outdoors. Water came from a pump located in the yard. Despite the adversities, Brown also recalled the accomplishments of the school community; accomplishments that were due to a strong sense of team effort and vision. "We had a lot of pride in our school," Brown remembered. "We organized a PTA that was second to none in the county. We kept the school in good repair and whitewashed the stones outside and even the trees up to about four feet. The PTA put in electric lights to replace the oil lamps, and during the war, they made one of the cloak rooms into a kitchen complete with stove and refrigerator." Brown remained in the Germantown Colored Elementary School for 11 years.
In 1950, the black elementary schools were consolidated. The Clopper, Germantown, Laytonsville, and Stewarton Elementary Schools were closed. All students were moved to the Emory Grove Consolidated Colored Elementary School in Gaithersburg, named Longview in a contest won by one of Brown's students. The next year, the new Longview Elementary school added a kindergarten program, making Longview the first black school to do so. In 1955, the schools in Maryland were desegregated, and both black and white schools were combined. Longview was desegregated in 1959, and Brown moved to Woodlawn Elementary. Later on, she went to Beall Elementary School in Rockville, where she finished her public school teaching in 1973.
As a teacher, Brown had a significant influence over her students. During her professional career, she always encouraged her students to go on to high school and continue learning. Many of them did. Some of the students of Germantown Colored Elementary School even became teachers, an achievement in itself, considering that none of the parents of the children at the school had attended high school. Brown passed on the message that students had a responsibility to learn. "The children adopted the attitude that they needed to learn and that this was important to them," Brown is quoted in Soberderg's book.
In recognition of her impact in the life of the Germantown community, its residents recommended the name of Lillian B. Brown for a new local elementary school in 2001. The old Germantown Colored School, although no longer in existence, was located near the site of the new school, and the Naming Committee considered the nomination as an honor to the former principal and teacher. The Montgomery County Board of Education instead selected a different name for the school, over the protests of the Naming Committee and area residents.
Brown received several awards for her life long commitment to teaching and service. She was granted the Legacy of Excellence Award from Bowie State University and the Montgomery County Board of Education's Pioneer Award for Distinguished Service to Public Education in 2001. She co-authored in 1978 with Nina Clarke, A History of the Black Public Schools of Montgomery County, Maryland 1872–1961.
Brown lived in Montgomery County, in Chevy Chase, the major part of her life, although she also lived in Washington, D.C. After her retirement, she moved to Rockville, and continued working as a volunteer for children and senior citizens. Brown was active in several clubs, including the Eastern Star, as well in as in her church. She taught Sunday school at Clinton A.M.E. Church in Lincoln Park for 65 years. She was known for being a stylish dresser, coordinating her hat with gloves and pocketbook. She was married three times. Brown loved life and what life had to offer. It is not a coincidence that one of her passions was traveling. She visited every state in the union, every continent except Antarctica, and went on several ocean cruises around the world. Her niece commented to a local newspaper that Brown liked to go to different places and learn how other people lived. "It was part of her willingness to absorb," she reflected.

Largest Solar Farm in Northeast U.S. Under Construction
October 25th, 2010 by Zachary Shahan
Con Edison Development and Panda Power Funds started construction on a 20-megawatt solar electric generating station in Pilesgrove, NJ last week. This solar farm will be able to power over 5,100 homes and will be the largest solar farm in the northeastern U.S. upon completion.
The farm will include 71,400 solar panels and operation is expected to begin next spring. The clean power generated from these solar panels (20-megawatts DC or 18-megawatts AC) will reduce global warming emissions as much as taking 3,500 cars off the road each year would do.
New Jersey's leading solar energy incentives were a big reason why the farm is being built in New Jersey.
"New Jersey has long been a national leader in promoting alternative energy, and this project is proof that our commitment to strong public-private cooperation is a model for success," said New Jersey Senate President Stephen M. Sweeney.
"The State of New Jersey has set the pace for state governments nationwide through its powerful commitment to renewable energy, and that is why this solar installation is becoming a reality," said Robert Mennella, senior vice president and chief operating officer of Con Edison Development.
"Thanks to an intelligent partnership between government and the private sector, New Jersey has become the tip of the sword in the green-energy economy," said Todd Carter, president and managing partner of Panda Power Funds. "Garden-state legislators have incentivized us to create jobs with free-market mechanisms — not costly government subsidies, grants or cumbersome loan guarantees."
There you go, New Jersey's progressive solar energy incentives are paying off. More states (and the nation as a whole) would do well to take note.

There is no cure for allergies, but their is a vaccine and other allergy medications that can help aid or prevent symptoms. You should visit an allergist and talk about your options. Another thing that significantly helps people with cat allergies who own cats is getting rid of carpeting in the home and cleaning and laundering furnishings regularly. The constant clean ups help prevent dander build up in the home.

When I didn't have a cat I suffered the itchy eyes, running nose thing when I patted a cat. BUT I had to have a kitty, I found I improved, I must have gotten used to it. I only occasionally, if I meet another kitty and once in a blue moon, it'll affect me but in general I'm fine.
You could always get a sphinx or a Rex
Try looking here on Catster for info on breeds that are good for allergy sufferers.

A Dog Named Psycho Saves His Family from a Rattlesnake
Monday, August 12, 2013
A dog named Psycho might have earned the name he was given this past week when he saved a little girl in his family from a striking rattlesnake.
The incident happened in the border town of Hueco Tanks, Texas when Maya Delarosa was making mud pies with her sister. "I hear a hiss and a rattle and I look down and there's a snake," Maya told KTSM 9 News.
Luckily for the sisters, Maya's grandmother's ten pound Chihuahua-poodle mix, Psycho, came to their rescue, getting between the girls and the snake just before it struck.
The bite landed on Psycho's eyelid instead of on the girls. "I love my little dog… I mean he saved her life," Martha Rodriguez, Psycho's mom, told KTSM reporters.
Venomous snake bites in small dogs can be very dangerous. However, Dr. Vickie Dashley treated Psycho with an anti-venom vaccine and it appears that Psycho, who is being a hailed a hero, is going to be ok.
"He's just got a lot of swelling around that eye. We won't know for sure until the swelling has gone down but we think the eye is going to be saveable (sic)," Dr. Dashley says.
Dogs in rattlesnake country can get a vaccine in advance of a bite. Dog parents should discuss the vaccine with their veterinarian if they feel their dogs might be suspect able to rattlesnake bites.
Editor's Note: Photo of Psycho from the KTSM Facebook page.
Do you live in rattlesnake country and does your dog receive the vaccine? Please tell us in the comment section below.

Since the LEM kit is sold out everywhere, I am running another LEM Kit Group Buy for those who missed out on the first run. These kits are the exact parts you would get from other online vendors.
This LEM Kit will allow you to convert your V1 (DA/SA) gun to a number of LEM variants:
• USP/USPc - Light, TGS, or V4. Also Heavy LEM if you purchase a Heavy FPBS separately
• HK45 - Light, TGS, or V4. Also Heavy LEM if you purchase a Heavy FPBS separately
• HK45c - Light or TGS
Light LEM = 4.5 to 5.5-lb trigger pull
Heavy LEM = 7.5 to 8.5-lb trigger pull
TGS = approx 6.1-lb trigger pull
V4 = approx 6.4-lb trigger pull
You will be paying exactly what I paid HK for these parts (plus shipping cost from HK to me, and from me to you). Since the shipping from HK to me is shared among all buyers, the more we order, the less we will pay per kit. Shipping from HK to me is approximately $7.95. Not looking to make any profits from this.
Full LEM Kit - $77.87 (now $83.40)
Light LEM Kit (no springs) - $72.24
Match LEM Hybrid Kit - $93.64 (now $103.95)
Add shipping from HK/HKParts/Numrich to me ($7.95+ divided by # of kits ordered), plus $1.64 (1 kit) to $2.32 (multiple kits) First Class shipping from me to you (with tracking).
Full LEM Kit
• LEM Sear
• LEM Bobbed Hammer
• LEM Hammer Axle
• LEM Cocking Piece
• LEM Cocking Piece Spring
• Heavy LEM Hammer Spring
• Heavy TRS
• Light TRS
Light LEM Kit
• LEM Sear
• LEM Bobbed Hammer
• LEM Hammer Axle
• LEM Cocking Piece
• LEM Cocking Piece Spring
Match LEM Hybrid Kit

• Stop Screw
• Hex Wrench
• Match Hammer Spring
• Match Flat Spring (aka Sear Spring)
• LEM Sear
• LEM Bobbed Hammer
• LEM Hammer Axle
• LEM Cocking Piece

• Light TRS
The only hammer spring I believe that is still out of stock is the short one for the HK45 Compact. But you won't need it if you plan to convert your V1 (DA/SA) HK45c to a Light LEM or TGS. This LEM kit will work with USP full-size, USP Compact, HK45, and HK45 Compact.
If you are interested, please respond to this thread. Since I will be putting my money up front to order these kits, I will need a firm commitment from you all before I place the order with HK. There will be no backing out at the last minute, after the order is placed.
I will accept USPS Money Orders or Paypal (gift/payment or with fees).
Member fatmat27 was kind enough to donate a few of his spare HK45c Heavy LEM Hammer Springs so if you want one for your HK45c, please send me a PM and I will update the list. First come first serve. Thanks again, Matt! This is why I love this forum so much!
Light LEM Kit
Full LEM Kit
Match LEM Hybrid Kit
Update 2:
If your gun's date code is AE (2004) or earlier, you will need a new, longer catch. LEM will not work with the old catch!
The cost for the new catch is $6.00/ea so add it to the total price of the LEM kit if you want one. Please make sure you send me a PM so I can update the list.

HK: No, that does not mean Hong Kong
I'm in for one for now possibly two or three depending on when payment is due.
Thank you very much for this.
I'm new to this particular forum but would like in on a LEM group buy for one kit.
Sorry that I have zero posts but I go by this same name on ar15.com with all positive feedback. Can send a PM to a mod or the OP over there to prove identity. Thanks!
I would like one. Just let me know how.
I will commit to at least one and possibly more depending on when payment is due.
I'm in assuming it will convert my group buy 45c to a light LEM. Am I right in my reading comprehension?
With liberty and justice for all.
$80 seems like a small expenditure these days. I'm in for one kit for my group buy 45c. Thanks for the offer.
I made a mistake in pricing the kit. Each LEM kit should be $77.87 (instead of $80.60) + $7.95 (shipping from HK) divided by # of kits purchased + $1.64 to $1.81 (shipping from me to you).
I updated the original post with the correct price.

We value music in our lives. Let's value the people who create it. Contact Congress.
This has to be some kind of sick joke. Pandora bought an FM radio station to game the system in order to pay songwriters less?
Pandora continues to find new ways to give artists and songwriters a raw deal from the bottom of the deck. In their race to the bottom to see how little they can pay music creators, they have stooped to misleading legislation, bait and switch petitions, and now fronting as an FM radio station.
I thought they wanted to "disrupt" terrestrial radio, not BECOME it.
While others negotiate with music creators as partners, Pandora has committed itself to a war on all fronts.
We know they will keep pushing to cut performers pay by as much as 85% in the so-called IRFA legislation and they will continue to send out sign-on petitions to indie artists that obscure how those artists' names will be used.
But if they are willing to buy an FM station to game the system, who knows what they will do next?
It doesn't matter. Music creators stand shoulder to shoulder in fighting these tricks.
At the same time, they give lipservice that they "value" music creators. Sounds familiar. Defensive much?

Strong Asian demand for liquefied natural gas will be enough to absorb growth in supply, a senior executive at oil major Royal Dutch Shell said on Monday.
"If you look at the potential demand from China and India it's huge, China could treble LNG demand from 2010 to 2020, and double it again by 2030," Malcolm Brinded, executive director at Shell Upstream International, told Reuters on the sidelines of an industry conference.
China's LNG demand in the nine months to end-September rose more than 70 per cent from the same period the previous year to 6.8 million tonnes.
Brinded said LNG was the cheapest way Asian countries could meet their CO2 targets, adding that he also saw demand ramping up from Singapore, Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
Established consumers such as Japan, Taiwan and South Korea were also in the market for more LNG, he added.
Qatar, the world's top LNG exporter, is ramping up output, while supply from Australia is set to explode as projects come onstream, raising worries about the market's ability to absorb the new material.
Shell has a 50 per cent stake in the Arrow LNG project in Australia, and is also 30 per cent owner of the 7.8 million tonnes per year Qatargas 4 train 7, which will be operational from February next year.
Shell's investment in Australia would be "very substantial" throughout the decade, Brinded said. "It's very clearly tens of billions of dollars."
He declined to give an exact figure.

"This was exactly what I was looking for my daughter's birthday to get everyone for a showing of her favorite flick with this movie themed party invitation."
"These birthday invitations are perfect! Bright colours, nice large photo space on front and complementary photo space on back, artsy font, and strong cardstock paper. Our friends have been raving about the invitations!"
"There were multiple color options for customization, it featured a unique design and the invitations were delivered quickly."
"We used this card for our little boy's seventh birthday and it turned out beautifully! The card stock is amazing and the pictures looked spectacular. We've always had great service using Tiny Prints. Thank you for such amazing products."
"Perfect card with the exception of the spacing was slightly off in front. I am sure if we had waited for a designer to review it would have been adjusted for my designers eye. Not many will notice what graphic designers are driven mad with. But we were late in getting down so is fine just wish I had the designer look at spacing."

We just made up some hanging baskets w/ an assortment of annuals and also put some english ivy and some grasses in them for a little greenery. My question is that I know the english ivy is perrenial so what should I do w/ it when the rest dies out this fall. Could I just leave it in the basket and let it go until next year (not really what I'd like to do because they would look a little bare) or should I just transplant the ivy in the ground somewhere till next spring? I'm really just starting to get interested in this kind of stuff so any help would be great.

Of mice and men
Page Tools
Logies hosts: Eddie McGuire, Andrew O'Keefe and Rove McManus.
You don't need to travel to the Happiest Kingdom of Them All to achieve that Mickey Mouse look, writes Ruth Ritchie.
Cheesy, cheap, dated and groaning with blatant product placement. I know, not a gripping opener, but about the only way to review the Logies and Sunrise: From Disneyland in one line.
I've been unpleasant about the Sunrise team in the past and had made some kind of resolution to let it go, but it's very hard to wake up every morning to David Koch's high-pitched praise of that rotten old anti-Semite Walt Disney and his giant rat park.
Those endless statistics about how many corn dogs are eaten each year by the misguided and obese are a mystery. Every touring breakfast show makes the mistake of thinking we care about how many litres of water make a fjord, or how many baseball hats are sold outside Yankee Stadium. Statistics? About corn dogs? We're waking up to go to work, not finishing our year 4 project on the Snowy Mountains scheme.
All those corn dogs, and Kochie missed the Logies. There were many more terrible aspects to the 47th Annual Logies (Nine, Sunday) than the hosts, but along with Thorpie's hair, the Neighbours variety number and most of the awkward presenters, Seven's Andrew O'Keefe was a standout. Is it possible that David Koch might have done a better job? Of the hosts, the ABC's Adam Hills did a sensational job at "the kids' table on Christmas Day", as he described it. He managed to resuscitate most of those dormant presenters as they came off stage. He was funny, actually funny, which only highlighted the unfunniness of the commercial trio at front of house.
It matters not. Revelling in the awfulness of the Logies can be strangely satisfying. It is almost nostalgically bad. Whenever our popular culture shows signs of shaking off the parochial hoodoos with some genuine sophistication, the Logies roll around to remind us we are always just a fart joke away from adolescent foolishness. Just when we think we're all Cate Blanchett, the Logies make us go all Denise "Ding Dong" Drysdale.
So, after a white carpet of hideous, unflattering gowns designed by Sharon of Epping, and opening patter written by people who couldn't spell "Billy Crystal", we endured hours of hysterical poppets squealing: "Oh-my-god-oh-my-god-oh-my-god."
Elsewhere on Sunday night, a sample of the sort of drama we never produce wooed Logie-weary viewers. The Second Coming (ABC) explores material far too uncomfortable for most dinner conversation, let alone network drama. If the son of God came back today he would take the form of a pissed no-hoper video shop employee in Manchester. It just makes sense. With that as a starting point, an extraordinary script from Russell T. Davies and a perfect cast led by Christopher Eccleston and Lesley Sharp, The Second Coming developed from a novel idea into a surprisingly suspenseful thriller. If he did come back and roll around the Yorkshire moors eating moss, and demand the third testament and threaten Judgement Day, what would we do?
All silver-eyed, devil-talking malevolence aside, the earthy scepticism inherent in Davies's treatment of these possibilities is what gives this drama its currency. When characters behave as we might if presented with a dozy mate who appears to be divine, we buy into the otherwise ludicrous possibility of supernatural drama. Anything else is an old-fashioned bible movie: funny, adorable at Easter, but nothing to do with us.
Similarly, the scepticism of everyone involved in Medium (Wednesday, Ten) allows us to revisit Mrs Dubois and her awkward ability to speak to the dead week after week. Patricia Arquette makes this leap of faith possible, as she gropes in the dark for the meaning of her prophetic dreams while she behaves badly towards her very nice, patient, sceptical husband. This week she delved into some terrific wardrobe to solve a 40-year-old murder that seemed to have taken place on the set of Mr Ed.
We just don't get any premises quite as interesting in the shows nominated for Logies. You don't need supernatural powers to guess what's happening on Blue Heelers and All Saints. Although perhaps network execs shouldn't have needed crystal balls to see that a project of the calibre of Love My Way had "winner" written all over it.
Foxtel has been rewarded for taking a chance on the drama with a Logie, some incidental free-to-air ads during the Logies broadcast and probably a big audience for the series repeat. Clips of the nominated shows revealed Love My Way to be almost another species to its competition.
What is a corn dog, anyway?

Good places to charter boats for day sails on Chesapeak
I'd like to take out some friends and family for a day sail on the bay, and wanted to know if anyone here has chartered smaller boats for shorter periods of time. Requirements would be 6 people total, probably less, and we wouldn't need a stove, sleeping room, or other "fluff" items. We'd bring our lunch and cooler of course.
I found one place that offers flying scots and some other larger boats last year, but now I can't seem to find their site. I'll continue the search, but if anyone would like to post a place they've used before with good results, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
PS - cost is always a concern, so if you have the prices, feel free to post em, or a link where I can get to them. Thanks again.
oops, anywhere from annapolis and south would be a good location.
There should be a few places in Annapolis. You might inquire with the sailing schools. If you want to go sporty, J-World/J-Port in Annapolis might let you rent out a J-80, which would be a good choice but $$$.
A Flying Scot would be good if it wasn't too choppy/windy. Otherwise, you'd want to limit the trip to well protected waters if the wind is piping up, unless you like getting wet/beaten up.
I've rented from these guys a couple of times.
Sailboat and Power boat rentals and charters in Annapolis, Maryland - Chesapeake Bay
Nice boats, decent prices. The first time we went out with one of their boats, the mainsail tore in some not-very-high winds. They offered to bend on a new main for us (no questions asked about fault), but two of my three crew were seasick, so we said no thanks. They gave us a half-day back on our day's rental that we used another time.
They also gave a nice briefing about getting out of the South River into the Bay, and provided charts.
I am not affiliated with them in any way. But I would rent from them again in an instant if I didn't have my own boat now.
Good luck and have fun!
I can't charter, but you are welcome to ride/crew etc..anytime I'm going out which is most weekends.

OAK Racing again demonstrated the raw pace of its Morgan 2012 LM P2 at the Six Hours of Bahrain today after the #24 car fought back to finish fourth of the WEC entries and sixth in class following a difficult start to the race.
The French team had harboured high hopes of a strong result prior to round six of this year's FIA World Endurance Championship having seen its pair of Onroak Automotive designed and built Morgan prototypes top all three free practice sessions and then annex row two on the grid.
Following a sensational opening lap that saw the #24 car move from third to first, Olivier Pla was able to steadily increase his lead over the chasing Starworks Motorsport HPD to 11 seconds before pitting.
Jacques Nicolet continued the good work throughout his double-stint, running in the top five throughout as differing strategies saw him battling cars that had changed to fresh tyres. But just as the race entered its third hour the Frenchman was tagged by the #26 Signatech Oreca, which broke the Morgan's steering rack.
Lengthy repairs ensured it lost over 14 minutes to the leaders and re-joined ninth before a sensational double stint by Matthieu Lahaye, who was consistently the fastest man on track, helped it claw a lap back.
After Pla maintained the incredible pace to move up to sixth by the end of his double stint, Nicolet took over and reeled off the final 40 minutes.
Meanwhile bad luck struck the #35 sister machine which retired with suspected suspension failure just 30 minutes into the race. Dominik Kraihamer, who was due to share with Bertrand Baguette and Alex Brundle, had been running a solid fifth when he was powerless to prevent the car from going straight on into the gravel at turn one.
Sebastien Philippe, Team Principal: "It's been a day of mixed emotions but I am very disappointed for the #35 driver crew. We haven't got the car back yet so I still don't exactly know what happened, but it looks like suspension failure. We have been very unlucky with the car all season. Nothing happens in testing, only at the races, which is very strange. Meanwhile #24 again showed good pace but we couldn't do much after the steering rack was broken in the contact with another car. LM P2 is very close and you cannot afford to lose any time in the pits. As always we will try to understand, learn and prepare for the next race in Fuji."
Matthieu Lahaye, #24 Morgan 2012 LM P2: "The team did fantastically well to repair the damage after we were hit so it was satisfying to fight back through the field for them. Having said that we are all disappointed with the result, especially as once again we had the pace to fight for victory. The car felt good and I was very comfortable lapping quickly during my double stint. We will take the positives and hope to put everything together at the final two rounds."
Dominik Kraihamer, #35 Morgan 2012 LM P2: "We're all bitterly disappointed to have retired so early. The car just went straight on at turn one with suspension failure I think, and there was nothing I could do to slow it down. I got stuck on the outside at the start and lost a couple of places but was back up to fifth and running strongly. I wasn't pushing too hard and just concentrating on saving the tyres in this heat. I'll be back in the LMP1 at Fuji so hopefully that will trigger a change of luck too."
The FIA World Endurance Championship continues in Japan with the Six Hours of Fuji on October 13/14.

To an IT leader a cloud developer can easily look like the enemy. They don't do what you say, they cause havoc by circumventing your IT rules and building new services and capabilities on public cloud platforms and seem to take orders not from you but from the business unit. Are these perceptions reality? Well, according to the 2013 Forrester ForrSights Developer Survey, yes. But they are also some of your most productive, happy and loyal developers too.
The survey shows that less than a quarter of all enterprise developers are using cloud platforms today. Examining the first movers, as self-identified in this survey, we found significant differences in the behavior, attitude and reporting structure of these members of your IT team. Cloud developers are risk takers who are empowered, more comfortable with open source technologies, building the new systems of engagement and tend to be happier in their work. They aren't just experimenting either; they are putting applications into production on the public cloud platforms and are doing so with traditional programming languages via agile, modern application designs. Forrester clients can now download a toolkit report providing a snapshot view of the data from this compelling survey (in Microsoft PowerPoint and PDF formats) that shows what distinguishes these developers from the pack.

Terrence Malick's debut explores isolation, realism, self-image, and violence with the filmmaker's lyrical elegance, setting the footing for an opus that frustrates, engrosses and challenges with each new entry. 1973's Badlands may well be the most forthright of his motion pictures, but it is no less vague or inventive. Now available as part of the Criterion Collection, this film marks the entrance of Malick with a statement of boldness and confidence.

Pandora to get a challenge from Clear Channel, powered by Somerville's Echo Nest
The Echo Nest Corp. has reached an agreement to provide the music intelligence for "Clear Channel's big answer to Pandora," CEO Jim Lucchese said in an interview.
The Somerville, Mass.-based company said its technology will power an update to Clear Channel's popular iHeartRadio app, which will allow listeners to customize their stations based on song characteristics, in the vein of Pandora Media Inc. (NYSE: P)
But unlike Pandora, whose music genome project has needed people to manually analyze songs, Echo Nest's technology does it automatically, Lucchese said. The technology combines computer audio analysis with cultural understanding gleaned from the web — reviews, blogs, tweets — to create custom song stations and playlists.
The technology has allowed Echo Nest to analyze many more songs than Pandora, 30 million compared to 800,000, and to a far greater level of customization, Lucchese contends.
"You can say, I only want to listen to artists based in my hometown, who've released something in the last year, and I want to keep everything at a high temp with high danceability. I also want artists that have a low familiarity — haven't been covered in Rolling Stone — but have a high level of what we call 'web hotness,'" Lucchese said.

Event organisers, Fast Car Entertainment, have decided to cancel the planned Retro Cars Live, which was due to take place on Sunday 9th August at Rockingham.
While this is clearly regrettable, it was ultimately decided that it was better to defer the event until such time that it can be properly developed and turned into a world class show with top quality content and strong attendance. Fast Car Entertainment's other events this year have been a resounding success and we now look forward to the rest of the season, which includes Japfest 2 on the 16th August at Rockingham, Mini in the Park also on the 16th August at Santa Pod and FordFest at Santa Pod on the 13th September.

Topferova returned to the guitar recently, because she wanted to work on a broader harmonic palette than the cuatro allows. She found herself playing a kind of folk-rock tune, and lyrics began to emerge — in English. "I didn't plan on writing in English, it just sort of happened." Now she has about eight songs in English, and she's planning two different releases — another acoustic Spanish-language album and an album of English originals leaning more toward folk rock. "Maybe people really do need to see me sing in all three languages — Czech, Spanish, and English — in order to embrace me in a more complete way."
Of course, there's no reason for an American audience to question a singer named Marta whose last name ends in a vowel singing songs in Spanish — and the show she's planned for the MFA with one of her elegant small ensembles is all Spanish. But you have to wonder: in what kind of accent will she sing her English songs?

TROY -- Chris Blazek is back where he began his professional baseball career five years ago -- with the entry-level Tri-City ValleyCats.
Ah, it beats the alternative, though -- his release by the Houston Astros.
The Astros still see potential in the 26-year old right-hander from Litchfield, Conn. despite major shoulder surgery that sidelined him for the entire 2009 season.
"It's tough," Blazek said on Thursday as the ValleyCats met the media. "You don't ever want to be back where you were five years ago, but it's an opportunity."
The fact that the Astros haven't given up on Blazek, their 23rd-round pick in the 2005 amateur draft, gives him confidence.
"Yeah, it does," he said. "They're showing confidence in me."
Blazek allowed just one hit over 5� innings in three games with the ValleyCats in 2005, then it was off to Lexington of the South Atlantic League.
He pitched there in all of 2006 and in those one and one-half years, he combined for a 3-2 record, a 4.48 earned run average, 58 walks and 86 strikeouts in 98� innings, with four saves.
He had a 4-2 record, 4.07 ERA and eight saves in the high-Class A Carolina League in 2007, allowing 61 hits and 28 walks in 66 innings, with 62 strikeouts.
He made the all-star team in the Class AA Texas League in 2008, going 4-4 with 84 strikeouts in 69� innings.
"Then I got hurt in the Arizona Fall League," he said.
Blazek had surgery in January of last year and missed the entire 2009 season.
"It's been a hard road back," he said. "I hadn't thrown off a mound in well over a year."
This year, he's been rehabbing in extended spring training and expected to go to a higher level of Class A ball, if not the Class AA Corpus Christi Hooks.
"Yeah, I found out a day before I left," he said. "I was surprised. But at least I'm somewhere and I like Troy. I'm from northeast Connecticut, so it's close to home."
Blazek said there are "good days and some rough days" for rehabbing pitchers.
"Sometimes, you think you'll never throw in a game again," he said. "When I first started throwing off a mound, I didn't know if I could do it. But your arm responds and you keep at it."
Blazek's fastball regularly clocked in the mid-90s and he'd improved his changeup before the injury.
"I threw a lot of fastballs and had a curve and changeup," he said. "I can still spot the fastball. That's not a problem; it's getting the feel back, just getting use to it again."
Blazek, who turned 26 on March 2, said none of the ValleyCats young players has referred to him as "old-timer" or "graybeard" yet but says, "it's bound to come."
On the other hand, some of the 21- and 22-year old pitchers could learn from Blazek.
"If I can help some of the younger (pitchers) with the transition into pro ball, I'll do that," he said. "I've always been a closer of setup man (Blazek has never started a pro game) and I'll probably keep the same role; one inning and a day or two off, then one inning and a day or two off until I can get it up to two innings.
"I still feel like I'm young enough to overcome this."
While Blazek likes the Troy area, he hopes his second stay here is a short one. He'd like to pitch in a handful of games, get some success and move up to a higher level.
"Yeah, I'd like to get out of here quick," he said.

Goodbye for a while
It appears I will be gone from Sailnet for a while. As many of you have noticed, I have been absent as of late - but I am afraid that will continue for a while yet.
I cannot go into all the details, but will give some here. It has recently come to my attention that a partner of mine has broken his fiduciary responsibilities and acted in a fashion (on many different matters) that he should not have. After carefully considering my options, I have decided to leave that company and branch out on my own. It is with considerable regret as it has set off my cruising and set me back personally (quite a considerable sum of money). It has also been very painful as I trusted him - which it appears I should not have. Until some of the legalities are settled, this is all I feel comfortable saying, so we will leave it at that.
In the end, with my new business venture, I must focus a considerable amount of my time outside of Sailnet. I will pop in from time to time and say hello. It appears I will retain my moderator status and will help out as I can. I hope to be back spending more time here in the not too distant future, but in the meantime, I would like to wish each and everyone one of you the ABSOLUTE best. I have met some great friends here and have met many of you through this outlet that I would not have otherwise.
Thank you for understanding. Take care of yourselves and your family - in the end, that is all that really matters.
Your friend,
- Brian
Fair winds, CD, good luck.
We'll look forward to your return, hopefully sooner than later. Best wishes to you and yours, and good luck in your new endeavor. - John
Best wishes, fair winds, be well.
CD, we wish you nothing but the best and hope things work out for your. It has to be extremely disheartening when someone you trusts lets you down big time. We'll all look forward to your speedy return. Best of luck and stay in touch with us clods here.
Along with all my wishes for success in your new venture and happy the New Year 2008. Hang on!
Sorry to hear that CD, good luck and I hope it all works out. You've been a great monator and hope you come back soon. ( even if you sail, I mean have a Catalina.:D :D :D )
Hope it all works out, and that you are back soon. Thanks for your help in the past
I've been around shortly but I wish you the best, so you regain your personal time asap.
Good luck CD... and take care... we'll see you soon.

A personal journey to the heart of Greece's darkness
…Greece desperately needs reforms. Mr Papandreou knew this well before the crisis, as did most Greeks. But the larger problem was the panic that swept over Europe and the easy moralising that financial crises evoke. Greeks were cast as tax-evaders, lazy and anti-business, their government as over-indebted, bloated and corrupt – a situation that required castor oil and humiliation.
But almost none of the moralising clichés were true. Greek taxes were more than a third of gross domestic product, near the European average. And if Greeks were anti-business, why then were there more small entrepreneurs per capita than anywhere else in Europe? Government was not bloated in terms of employees – at a fifth of the labour force, it was about the European average. Corruption was clearly a problem, but our data showed it was concentrated – incomprehensibly to non-Greeks – in the health sector, where minor "gifts" to doctors secured early scheduling of surgeries.
Harvard Under Fire Over Israel
A controversy has arisen over a student-organized conference at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government focused on a one-state solution to the Israeli- Palestinian conflict. Pro-Israel groups and the Kennedy School dean have criticized the conference agenda for lacking balance. …
"Students typically come forward with general ideas in many circumstances long before they have invited specific people or finalized a program, and generally administrators try to be supportive of student ideas for events that they are planning," said Melodie Jackson, associate dean for communications at the Kennedy School.
Jackson noted that the conference was one of several student organized events at the Kennedy School this semester. Others include the Jewish Caucus Seminar Series, and The Israel Conference scheduled for April, organized by Israeli students from around the university.

Special Olympics CEO, Diplomats Selected HKS Fisher Fellows
…The Fisher Family Fellows program, established in 2010 by the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs' Future of Diplomacy Project, has selected three recipients: Shyam Saran, the Indian government's former foreign secretary; Javier Solana, who has served as NATO secretary general and the European Union's high representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy; and Timothy P. Shriver, the president and chief executive officer of Special Olympics.
"The premise of the Fisher Family Fellowship is to bring diplomats who have generally speaking just left the scene to the Kennedy School, so that they can use it as a venue to publicly reflect," said Cathryn A. Cluver, executive director of the Future of Diplomacy Project.
Reports Shed Light on Iran Sanctions and US's, Big Oil's Goals in Middle East
…Meghan O'Sullivan, the Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs at Harvard's John F. Kennedy School of Government, describes US/Big Oil intentions for Iraq quite clearly in a July 2011 paper, "Iraqi Politics and Implications for Oil and Energy," which she wrote for the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University. …
O'Sullivan is saying that a major goal, if not the goal, of the Iraq wars was to get control over Iraqi oil production so that its flow of oil would be predictable and coincident with the interests of major industrial nations, not just the United States. Unmentioned in relation to "stability", however, was the United States' and Britain's need to get rid of Saddam Hussein and to get transnational oil corporations back into Iraq, from which they had been excluded since Iraq nationalized its oil industry in 1972.

Electro-optic systems from Israel are keeping municipal and food production water supplies, as well as pools, from contamination.
By Rivka Borochov
What do international companies like Yoplait, Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Bayar, General Electric and the chemical giant BASF have in common? Along with Barcelona and several American cities, they are now relying on the Israeli water-monitoring company Blue I ("blue eye") to keep an eye on their water.
The Israeli company, with millions of dollars in turnover, provides a real-time monitor that can test for chlorine, clarity and other parameters in factory or municipal water.
Coca-Cola can't have impurities or any added taste in its secret recipe. And Yoplait's world-famous yogurt production must abide by strict taste and security standards that customers expect.
Stela Diamant, the CTO of Blue I, says her company is the "gatekeeper for the food industry."
Security is a growing concern for city officials. While there is currently no test on the market that can sniff out anthrax poisoning in municipal water, if something looks suspicious in the water supply, Blue I's smart systems can send out alerts to suspend operations until the problem is solved.
The extreme sensitivity of its turbidity and chlorine monitors, run by a patent-protected electro-optical technology, can detect the faintest of changes that can affect test parameters, says Diamant.
Putting pool boys out of business
The company recently secured a $3 million investment, led by Israel's Effi Capital, to expand its latest electro-optic solutions. They include TurbiPlus analyzers, which can pick up on the smallest hint of contamination in municipal, industrial or pool water; and the PRIZMA, an automated "pool boy" for ongoing maintenance of swimming pools in condominiums or other private settings. It assures the correct pH and chlorine balance and even has its own smartphone app for remote communication and control.
"Prizma reports and controls," says Diamant. "We came up with an analyzer that doesn't need any technical person to operate it, and still maintains the pool in the condo building."
Previously, the company helped make sure that pools were safe and clean during the Beijing 2008 Olympics.
This Prizma pool purification is working in Germany
Blue I was founded in 2003 and is now controlled by the Shaked Global Group, Docor International Management and Tene Investment Funds. This investment group is also helping the Israeli company enter Asia. One of the latest deals is for the Guangdong region of China.
"We are on the verge of being huge," Diamant promises.
The case of Coca-Cola
While new water monitoring companies are connecting to smart water networks, the Internet cloud and smartphones, Blue I was one of the first to define this space.
"We are really pioneers in this very traditional world," Diamant says.
There are already tens of thousands of Blue I systems operating around the world. Typically they are sold through distributors, including one that provides products for bottling plants.
Blue I currently has its technology installed in 25 Coca-Cola plants, from Israel to India. The giant soft-drink maker likes the system's ability to detect even trace levels of chlorine. Diamant says this is critical because chlorine is added to the plant's water to sterilize it, and then must be entirely removed before being made into soda-pop.
The Coca-Cola bottling plant in India uses Blue I
The company's independent bottling sites need to be 100 percent sure that no chlorine gets into the world's favorite drink, and Blue I can give them that guarantee, she says.
Blue I employs 25 people in Israel, based in Rosh Ha'Ayin's Afek Industrial Park. The company was located in Kibbutz Ramat Rachel on the southern border of Jerusalem until it split from its sister company, Mapal Pools, to form its own entity. It offers about a dozen products.
Within Israel, Blue I clients include Israel's national water carrier, Mekorot, as well as Israel's Oil Refineries.

The Key to the Pope's Trips
BY Edward Pentin
| Posted 10/4/10 at 5:16 PM
The Holy Father has again confounded the skeptics, attracting very large crowds on his trip to Sicily over the weekend.
CNA reports:
Contrary to preliminary reports from Sicily on Sunday, the crowds attending papal events in the island's capital city were "never before seen in Italy." According to an official from Holy See's Press Office who was on the ground at the event, this is just the latest occurrence in a continuous "crescendo" of "miracle" turnouts for Pope Benedict XVI.
Some might argue that this isn't so surprising given that Sicily and most of southern Italy are probably the most Catholic parts of the country. Still, the turnout was impressive for what is a moderately small Mediterranean island, and after all the sufferings of the Church this year. The warmth the Pope received was also unmistakeable, according to the article.
But as the Pope made clear on his trip to Britain last month, numbers are all well and good, but they're not the goal. What matters to him most, and what's most probably the key to the success of his visits, is his commitment to directing believers and non-believers not to himself, but to Christ.
As he said last week when discussing his upcoming visit to Barcelona and Santiago de Compostela:
"I will personally make a pilgrimage soon to the tomb of the Apostle Saint James, the "Lord's friend", in the same way that I have made my way to other places in the world which many of the faithful visit: with fervent devotion," he said.
"In this regard, from the beginning of my pontificate, I have wanted to live my ministry as the Successor of Peter with the sentiments of a pilgrim who travels over the roads of the world with hope and simplicity, bringing on his lips and in his heart the saving message of the Risen Christ, and strengthening his brothers in faith."

To use the system, the user must first log in to their Cellphone Banking page from their device. They will then select "Withdraw Cash," the account, and the desired amount. They will then receive an SMS with a temporary ATM PIN, which they can use at any of FNB's 4,500 ATM locations.
FNB's Ravesh Ramlakan explains that they developed Cash Withdrawal "with the intention of providing [their] customers with 24 hour access to their cash - even without the use of a bank card." We see it as the opposite of Chase Bank's ability to photograph and deposit checks.
According to their research, many customers would have to enter the bank in order to withdraw cash, simply because they left their cards at home. So beyond being a nice perk for customers, it should also lighten the load of the bank staff. Is anyone else thrilled at the idea of not carrying a wallet around?

This broadside offers a clue as to the nature of domestic Christmas celebrations in this period. Christmas Gambols, and Twelfth Night's Amusements is a mix of seasonal songs, illustrations of characters and games (such as blind man's buff), and historical nuggets. It was evidently aimed at the middle classes, especially with the relatively expensive price of two pence. Broadsides were large-format single-sheet publications, hurriedly and cheaply printed, and sold on the streets usually for a penny or halfpenny.
Christmas Gambols was produced in 1823 by one of the most successful mass-market publishers, James Catnach (1792–1841) of Seven Dials, London, who became wealthy using only his father's old wooden presses in the family home.
