Benjamin Banneker Biography
Born: November 9, 1731
Baltimore County, Maryland
Died: October 9, 1806
Baltimore County, Maryland
The First African American scientist and inventor
From 1792 through 1797 Benjamin Banneker, an African American mathematician and amateur astronomer, calculated ephemerides (tables of the locations of stars and planets) for almanacs that were widely distributed and influential. Because of these works, Banneker became one of the most famous African Americans in early U.S. history.
Early life
On November 9, 1731, Benjamin Banneker was born in Baltimore County, Maryland. He was the son of an African slave named Robert, who had bought his own freedom, and of Mary Banneky, who was the daughter of an Englishwoman and a free African slave. Benjamin grew up on his father's farm with three sisters. After learning to read from his mother and grandmother, Benjamin read the bible to his family in the evening. He attended a nearby Quaker country school for several seasons, but this was the extent of his formal education. He later taught himself literature, history, and mathematics, and he enjoyed reading.
As he grew into an adult, Banneker inherited the farm left to him by his grandparents. He expanded the already successful farm, where he grew tobacco. In 1761, at the age of thirty, Banneker constructed a striking wooden clock without having ever seen a clock before (although he had examined a pocket watch). He painstakingly carved the toothed wheels and gears of the clock out of seasoned wood. The clock operated successfully until the time of his death.
Interest in astronomy
At the age of fifty-eight Banneker became interested in astronomy (the study of the universe) through the influence of a neighbor, George Ellicott, who lent him several books on the subject as well as a telescope and drafting instruments (tools used in astronomy). Without further guidance or assistance, Banneker taught himself the science of astronomy. He made projections for solar (of the Sun) and lunar (of the Moon) eclipses and computed ephemerides for an almanac. In 1791 Banneker was unable to sell his observations, but these rejections did not stop his studies.
In February 1791 Major Andrew Ellicott (1754–1820), an American surveyor (one who maps out new lands for development), was appointed to survey the 10-mile square of the Federal Territory for a new national capital. Banneker worked in the field for several months as Ellicott's scientific assistant. After the base lines and boundaries had been established and Banneker had returned home, he prepared an ephemeris for the following year, which was published in Baltimore in Benjamin Banneker's Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia Almanack and Ephemeris, for the Year of Our Lord, 1792; Being Bissextile, or Leap-Year, and the Sixteenth Year of American Independence. Banneker's calculations would give the positions of the planets and stars for each day of the year, and his almanacs were published every year from 1792 until 1797.
Communications with Thomas Jefferson
Banneker forwarded a copy of his calculations to Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), then secretary of state, with a letter criticizing Jefferson for his proslavery views and urging the abolishment (ending) of slavery of African American people. He compared such slavery to the enslavement of the American colonies by the British crown. Jefferson
acknowledged Banneker's letter and forwarded it to the Marquis de Condorcet, the secretary of the Académie des Sciences in Paris. The exchange of letters between Banneker and Jefferson was published as a separate pamphlet, and was given wide publicity at the time the first almanac was published. The two letters were reprinted in Banneker's almanac for 1793, which also included "A Plan for an Office of Peace," which was the work of Dr. Benjamin Rush (1745–1813). The abolition societies of Maryland and Pennsylvania were very helpful in the publication of Banneker's almanacs, which were widely distributed as an example of an African American's work and to demonstrate the equal mental abilities of the races.
The last known issue of Banneker's almanacs appeared for the year 1797, because of lessening interest in the antislavery movement. Nevertheless, he prepared ephemerides for each year until 1804. He also published a treatise (a formal writing) on bees and computed the cycle of the seventeen-year locust.
Banneker never married. He died on October 9, 1806, and was buried in the family burial ground near his house. Among the memorabilia preserved from his life were his commonplace book and the manuscript journal in which he had entered astronomical calculations and personal notations. Writers who described his achievements as that of the first African American scientist have kept Banneker's memory alive. Recent studies have proven Banneker's status as an extremely capable mathematician and amateur astronomer.

Benjamin Banneker's Trigonometry Puzzle The mathematical puzzles of Benjamin Banneker (1731-1806) have been of interest since he first produced them in the last half of the 18th century and the early years of the 19th. By the age of 21, he was a hero in the territory of Maryland.1 Banneker began his life-changing studies of astronomy and mathematics about 1788, the year Maryland joined the Union, when he was lent some books by his friend the surveyor, George Ellicott. Three of these are known: Charles Leadbetter's Astronomy: Or the True System of the Planets Demonstrated (1727); James Ferguson's Astronomy Explained Upon Sir Isaac Newton's Principles, and Made Easy to Those Who Have Not Studied Mathematics(1761), and a book (in Latin) which Ellicott gave his bride as a wedding present.
In one of the puzzles, "Trigonometry," Banneker demonstrates his knowledge of logarithms as he presents his solution. The question arises as to what book of logarithmic tables could Banneker have been using. The trigonometry page is reproduced from The Maryland Historical Society, Baltimore, Maryland, where Banneker's Astronomical Journal 1798, is kept.
It is clear that Banneker is using the Law of Sines:
In a triangle, the ratios of the sine of an angle to the length of its opposite side are equal. Where Banneker writes in his proportion, "logarithm base 26," or "logarithm of the hypotenuse," he is anticipating the use of logarithms for the computation. Banneker understood, as his calculations correctly show, that the ratios involved are the sine of an angle to the side opposite, not to the log of the side. In what follows, all angles are expressed in degrees.
I. To find the hypotenuse, Banneker used the Law of Sines: sin C/c = sin B/ b "Sine complement of the angle at A," is sin 60, the sine of the angle complementary to angle A. If x is the length of the hypotenuse, then sin 60/ 26 = sin 90/ x and x = 26 sin 90/sin 60. . Taking logarithms, we have log x = log 26 + log sin 90 ??- log sin 60 and, substituting values from a suitable set of tables, log x = 1.41497 +10 9.93753 = 1.47744. Notice that, for reasons we shall see later, log sin 90 = Log 1010 = 10. We now find x as the antilogarithm of 1.47744, which is very close to 30. It is unlikely that Banneker would have had access to tables of antilogarithms, a late eighteenth century invention, but would simply have used his table of logarithms in reverse.
II. To find the remaining side, Banneker uses the Law of Sines again: sin C/c = sin A/a. If x is the length of the side perpendicular to the base then sin 60/ 26 = sin 30/ x, and x = 26 sin 30/sin 60 . Taking logarithms we get log x = log 26 + log sin 30 - log sin 60 and, again substituting values from tables, log x = 1.41497 + 9.69897 - 9.93753 = 1.7641. Again, x is the antilogarithm of 1.17643, which is very close to 15.
from Banneker's letter to Jefferson
"I AM fully sensible of the greatness of that freedom, which I take with you on the present occasion ; a liberty which seemed to me scarcely allowable, when I reflected on that distinguished and dignified station in which you stand, and the almost general prejudice and prepossession, which is so prevalent in the world against those of my complexion.
I suppose it is a truth too well attested to you, to need a proof here, that we are a race of beings, who have long labored under the abuse and censure of the world ; that we have long been looked upon with an eye of contempt ; and that we have long been considered rather as brutish than human, and scarcely capable of mental endowments.
Sir, I hope I may safely admit, in consequence of that report which hath reached me, that you are a man far less inflexible in sentiments of this nature, than many others ; that you are measurably friendly, and well disposed towards us ; and that you are willing and ready to lend your aid and assistance to our relief, from those many distresses, and numerous calamities, to which we are reduced. Now Sir, if this is founded in truth, I apprehend you will embrace every opportunity, to eradicate that train of absurd and false ideas and opinions, which so generally prevails with respect to us ; and that your sentiments are concurrent with mine, which are, that one universal Father hath given being to us all ; and that he hath not only made us all of one flesh, but that he hath also, without partiality, afforded us all the same sensations and endowed us all with the same faculties ; and that however variable we may be in society or religion, however diversified in situation or color, we are all of the same family, and stand in the same relation to him.
Sir, if these are sentiments of which you are fully persuaded, I hope you cannot but acknowledge, that it is the indispensable duty of those, who maintain for themselves the rights of human nature, and who possess the obligations of Christianity, to extend their power and influence to the relief of every part of the human race, from whatever burden or oppression they may unjustly labor under ; and this, I apprehend, a full conviction of the truth and obligation of these principles should lead all to. Sir, I have long been convinced, that if your love for yourselves, and for those inestimable laws, which preserved to you the rights of human nature, was founded on sincerity, you could not but be solicitous, that every individual, of whatever rank or distinction, might with you equally enjoy the blessings thereof ; neither could you rest satisfied short of the most active effusion of your exertions, in order to their promotion from any state of degradation, to which the unjustifiable cruelty and barbarism of men may have reduced them.
Sir, I freely and cheerfully acknowledge, that I am of the African race, and in that color which is natural to them of the deepest dye ; and it is under a sense of the most profound gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of the Universe, that I now confess to you, that I am not under that state of tyrannical thraldom, and inhuman captivity, to which too many of my brethren are doomed, but that I have abundantly tasted of the fruition of those blessings, which proceed from that free and unequalled liberty with which you are favored ; and which, I hope, you will willingly allow you have mercifully received, from the immediate hand of that Being, from whom proceedeth every good and perfect Gift.
Sir, suffer me to recal to your mind that time, in which the arms and tyranny of the British crown were exerted, with every powerful effort, in order to reduce you to a state of servitude : look back, I entreat you, on the variety of dangers to which you were exposed ; reflect on that time, in which every human aid appeared unavailable, and in which even hope and fortitude wore the aspect of inability to the conflict, and you cannot but be led to a serious and grateful sense of your miraculous and providential preservation ; you cannot but acknowledge, that the present freedom and tranquility which you enjoy you have mercifully received, and that it is the peculiar blessing of Heaven.
This, Sir, was a time when you cleary saw into the injustice of a state of slavery, and in which you had just apprehensions of the horrors of its condition. It was now that your abhorrence thereof was so excited, that you publicly held forth this true and invaluable doctrine, which is worthy to be recorded and remembered in all succeeding ages : ``We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, and that among these are, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'' Here was a time, in which your tender feelings for yourselves had engaged you thus to declare, you were then impressed with proper ideas of the great violation of liberty, and the free possession of those blessings, to which you were entitled by nature ; but, Sir, how pitiable is it to reflect, that although you were so fully convinced of the benevolence of the Father of Mankind, and of his equal and impartial distribution of these rights and privileges, which he hath conferred upon them, that you should at the same time counteract his mercies, in detaining by fraud and violence so numerous a part of my brethren, under groaning captivity and cruel oppression, that you should at the same time be found guilty of that most criminal act, which you professedly detested in others, with respect to yourselves.
I suppose that your knowledge of the situation of my brethren, is too extensive to need a recital here ; neither shall I presume to prescribe methods by which they may be relieved, otherwise than by recommending to you and all others, to wean yourselves from those narrow prejudices which you have imbibed with respect to them, and as Job proposed to his friends, ``put your soul in their souls' stead ;'' thus shall your hearts be enlarged with kindness and benevolence towards them ; and thus shall you need neither the direction of myself or others, in what manner to proceed herein. And now, Sir, although my sympathy and affection for my brethren hath caused my enlargement thus far, I ardently hope, that your candor and generosity will plead with you in my behalf, when I make known to you, that it was not originally my design ; but having taken up my pen in order to direct to you, as a present, a copy of an Almanac, which I have calculated for the succeeding year, I was unexpectedly and unavoidably led thereto."
Jefferson's response to Banneker
Philadelphia Aug. 30. 1791.
I thank you sincerely for your letter of the 19th. instant and for the Almanac it contained. no body wishes more than I do to see such proofs as you exhibit, that nature has given to our black brethren, talents equal to those of the other colours of men, & that the appearance of a want of them is owing merely to the degraded condition of their existence both in Africa & America. I can add with truth that no body wishes more ardently to see a good system commenced for raising the condition both of their body & mind to what it ought to be, as fast as the imbecillity of their present existence, and other circumstance which cannot be neglected, will admit. I have taken the liberty of sending your almanac to Monsieur de Condorcet, Secretary of the Academy of sciences at Paris, and member of the Philanthropic society because I considered it as a document to which your whole colour had a right for their justification against the doubts which have been entertained of them. I am with great esteem, Sir, Your most obedt. humble servt. Th. Jefferson.

Faucet handle repair
My Hot handle is leaking when I turn it on. I removed the plastic handle and collar and the outer stem extension. how do I get to the piece inside the pipe that the handle goes on. I guess I need to take it all to the store to get the right one to replace .But I don't know how to get it out. PleaseHELP. (This is a mobile home)
Thanks Margie
A picture would help---Usually there is a 'cap nut'--the shaft goes through a hole in the middle of the cap nut----If you remove the cap nut the shaft should unscrew--counter clock wise for the hot--
Under the cap nut will be some 'packing'--either a washer or a teflon string,wrapped around the shaft--
That is usually the cause of the leaking.

When you're driving and your phone makes that familiar "ding" sound, what do you do? Sadly, that's a life or death question. Every day, nine Americans die from distracted driving such as texting and checking their phones. In New York State alone, there's an 840 percent increase in tickets issued for texting while driving since 2011. How come? Because some drivers don't believe It Can Wait.
It Can Wait is the name of AT&T's campaign to educate motorists on the dangers of texting while driving. As New Yorkers mark another Distracted Driving Awareness Month, it's a shame this dangerous behavior continues. Despite the number of crashes, life-altering injuries and preventable fatalities, drivers continue to put themselves and others at risk.
A petty thief, local mobsters and a parish priest who's more sinner than saint come together in the gritty black-comedy crime novel "Stay Away from Lions," the latest release from No Frills Buffalo.
Written by Buffalo natives and St. Bonaventure University graduates J. Matthew Smith and Patrick Reynolds, "Stay Away from Lions" follows the poorly led life of Tommy Patton, a small-time South Buffalo crook who upon being sprung from his latest stint in the Erie County Jail learns he's in debt to a ruthless mob boss as a result of a robbery gone wrong.
With the payback deadline looming, a two-faced henchman charged with collecting the debt goes behind his boss's back and hatches a scheme designed to benefit all involved. But when that scheme unravels, unholy secrets are exposed costing people their lives.
An adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, commonly referred to as an ACD, is a sentence typically offered to a defendant when the crime charged is a misdemeanor and the defendant has no prior record. In sum, the case is put on hold for a specified amount of time (generally six months) and if the defendant has stayed out of trouble throughout that time period, the charges are dismissed. Under New York State law an ACD is not considered a criminal conviction nor involves a guilty plea.
Senator Mark Grisanti (R, I-60) will sponsor a New York State Senate Roundtable,"Domestic Violence: Prevention Starts With You" on Friday, April 4th from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., at the Walter J. Mahoney Building, 65 Court Street in Buffalo, Senate Hearing Room 6.
Unfortunately, one in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Surprisingly, only one in seven instances is reported.
Panelists include:
Buffalo, N.Y. -- U.S. Attorney William J. Hochul, Jr. announced today that Justin Augus, of Buffalo, N.Y., who was convicted of Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations (RICO) and possession of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking, was sentenced to 228 months in prison by U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara.
Senator Mark Grisanti (R, I – Buffalo) today has renewed his call for a crack down on puppy mills by urging Governor Cuomo to sign into law Bill S.3753, which would allow forward-thinking local governments to regulate commercial pet breeders and pet stores.
The legislation addresses the ineffectiveness of New York's "Pet Dealer" law, the proliferation of unregulated dog breeders in the state and the pet industry's complicit support of inherently cruel, out-of-state puppy mills.
"New York State appears to be the only home-rule state in the country that explicitly prohibits its towns and cities from regulating commercial pet breeders and pet stores," Grisanti said, backed by area leaders in the fight against pet abuse. "I am calling on the Governor to pass this piece of legislation so that New York can effectively regulate puppy mills, and put an end to abusive breeding techniques."

Need money fast
Manchester I have recently had a Cash Converters UK Loan after seeing an advert in my local shopping centre... I was short for a few bills that month and got on the internet to see if I was eligable for a loan. I wanted to borrow a £100 and saw the repayment was a £130, I know I earn enough money in a month to pay it back. After filling in my app online I received a few phone calls and was updated on the process. I shortly received my loan... The staff were friendly and helpful and the information was appreciated. If I fall short in the future I will definitely be using CashConverter again.
I was cold known as by a corporation desperate to claim my PPI back on behalf of me...They explained that they'd send a info pack bent on Pine Tree State.I then had to search out out all my loan details and account numbers...This was incredible as a result of some went back years and like several people once everything has been paid you discard all the relevant info.I rang my bank to provoke loan numbers during which i used to be told that they themselves addressed any claims and that it saves a external company taking a cut of the profits and i identified that i had took out over the two loans during which i might bear in mind as a result of i took out loans to pay off existing CashConverters loans i used to be battling.Within many days they'd sent Pine Tree State out the claim packs.It looked like alot of work to fill however head down it had been quite straightforward and easy.They then unbroken contacting Pine Tree State with updates eventually i received payments totaling over ?3000. I am completely estactic regarding this... The smaller claims with store cards etc i allowed the external company to require on...This as been a true slow method so so much they need solely managed to urge simply ?400 back on behalf of me ... ...then they need taken half-hour and VAT.I then identified that the cardboard companys were additionally taking the money off my existing balances therefore i then had to search out the money to pay the claims company... Luckily on behalf of me i had the money i had received from my bank....But what number others would be therefore lucky... I received a day loan from cash Converters a few of months agone. I set it up in order that i'd acquire the shop and repay the loan and interest once my DLA was paid into my checking account... They same that they'd want my card details to ascertain that the checking account and card were so mine, by taking a few of pounds out then substitution it. They additionally same that they may additionally take the compensation as a charge account credit dealing, if I fail to pay, or I instruct them to. I will not offer all the ins and outs of what happened, as i do not wish to bore everybody to death, however to chop an extended story short, I forgot all regarding the loan and my charge account credit terminated. I assume they tried to create a charge account credit withdrawal, however the cardboard info they'd was "old". I then awakened this morning, checked the bank to check if this months DLA went in, and am confronted with a £130 direct debit! i can not bear in mind locution to cash Converters that they may setup an on the spot Debit to my checking account, that the bank same was setup this morning! I telephoned my bank to raise what was occurring, as i can not see what has gone wherever 'til the subsequent day, and that they off the doctorate and same my cash ought to come back to my account by the morning. What i'm desperate to understand, is if they, or the other company, will started DD's while not consent? or is there one thing within the tiny print locution they can? True, I owe them the money, and my personnal circumstances isn't of interest to them, however I currently feel that they'll look ahead to Pine Tree State to pay, as they "Burgaled" my account! Can anyone tell Pine Tree State the legal facet of what is going on, or is it accepted they'll read your account once they want? Ta muchly! Cash Converters, though a sequence, deserves a mention here on Yelp. though the recession is formally over, the truth is that folks ar still being created redundant, jobs ar laborious to come back by and money's tight. could also be this is often why cash Converters seems to be enjoying a bumper boom time. With new stores gap everywhere the place it appears that a lot of and a lot of North American country|folks|people} ar wishing on them to assist us through a sticky patch. a contemporary day pawnbrokers, the outlets conjointly supply US advances on our wage cheques, buybacks, and one thing referred to as record book Loans. The latter entitles US to require out a loan exploitation our record book as security. Cars should be but eight years recent and also the V5 document should be preserved by cashConverters till all of the loan repayments ar created. the dimensions of loan ranges from £500 to £50k. Sounds smart therefore far? however explore the costs... A £1,500 contains a weekly compensation schedule of £53.60 over a seventy eight week amount (roughly eighteen months). The April on a loan this size may be a walloping 437.4% creating the number due an unbelievable £4,180.80! i do not wish to even think about the penalties that folks incur if they fail to satisfy a compensation, or in a way fall foul of the theme. And what if you wish to tax your vehicle at intervals this period? (which presumptively are the case as road tax will solely be bought for a most of 1 year). i might guess that purchasing road tax is not your biggest worry if you ever end up boxed into a corner enough to significantly think about casting off a loan of this type... not least as a result of, if you've got, you most likely cannot afford to shop for it anyway! Not solely will money Converters seem to be within the business of creating terribly poor individuals even poorer, however there is conjointly probably a good seedier aspect to their operation. it's acknowledged that cash Converters is often in receipt of purloined product. once I was burgled last year i used to be suggested by the police handling the case to travel to cash Converters to undertake and retrieve my digital video camera, portable and dress watch, as they felt that there was a powerful likelihood that this stuff would find yourself there. i do know of many folks that have tracked their purloined bikes to the look and have, with the help of the police, got them back. Of course, all of this is often hearsay (apart from the small print listed regarding record book loans), however even so, having detected constant story from such a large amount of completely different freelance sources, it's most positively enough to create you marvel. In cash Converters defense, it should be just about not possible to inform whether or not product ar purloined or not unless vendors ar able to manufacture proof of purchase, and even then, could not the receipts are purloined as well? And as for the loans, cash Converters is activity funds to the riskiest grouping of lenders, (even individuals with no credit rating and CCJ's ar invited to use for a loan). So, with the risks concerned it's solely prudent to charge associate degree considerable dividend... however that a lot of... i do not understand... you decide. fast money now cash converters application

Shibui rides again. Click picture for sanspo.com's National Jitsugyodan Women's Ekiden photo gallery.
Despite not taking a single stage best title, six-time national champion Team Mitsui Sumitomo Kaijo returned to the top of the six-stage marathon distance 2009 National Jitsugyodan Women's Ekiden Championships on Dec. 13 in Gifu with another win to make it seven. The team's chances depended largely on whether its star Yoko Shibui had recovered from the stress fracture that kept her out of the 2009 World Championships marathon. She had. Although she was far from her normal condition, Shibui's stage-4th 32:13 for the 10 km Third Stage was good enough to keep the team in position after a strong stage-2nd performance by First Stage runner Ikuyo Yamashita.
Fresh from last month's Yokohama International Women's Marathon, Miki Ohira ran the 2nd-best time on the Fifth Stage to take the lead and anchor Chisato Osaki likewise was 2nd on her stage to keep up front and return Mitsui Sumitomo to the top after last year's loss. Although Mitsui Sumitomo, joined by surprise guest Reiko Tosa, was celebrating early the race ended up being unexpectedly close as Team Tenmaya's Kaori Urata clocked the stage best for the anchor leg, nearly running down Osaki but running out of room instead.
Defending champion Team Toyota Jidoshoki, the overwhelming favorites, finished a shocking 9th. First Stage runner Aya Nagata, who had a memorably gutsy anchor run for the win last year, took the race out hard but by 4 km on the 6.6 km stage had faded from the large lead pack and ultimately finished 15th. The rest of the team's star squad was flat and unremarkable, only Fourth and Fifth Stage runners Rui Aoyama and Akane Wakita turning in credible performances as each finished 3rd on her leg. It's back to the drawing board for head coach Yoshio Koide, who before the race predicted an 8 to 10 year winning streak for his young squad. His arsenal will be strengthened next year by the addition of university champion Kazue Kojima (Ritsumeikan Univ.).
In the runner-up position was the perpetually-strong Team Tenmaya. After a weak start by First Stage runner Yuka Izumi the team gradually clawed its way up through the pack, ace Yurika Nakamura clocking stage 2nd-best on the Third Stage and anchor Kaori Urata taking the stage best but falling eleven seconds short of taking the lead.
In other noteworthy individual results:
- 2009 World Championships marathon silver medalist Yoshimi Ozaki (Team Daiichi Seimei) was 3rd on the First Stage, running 20:44 for 6.6 km. Little-known Chieko Gido was only 13th on the stage, but her early running at the front of the pack and top-half finish were a credit to her team Canon AC Kyushu which was only formed in April this year and yet made Nationals.
- Kenyan Doricah Obare (Team Hitachi) clocked a new stage record of 10:02 for the 3.3 km Second Stage, beating Ethiopian Betelhem Moges (Team Denso) and Kenyan Philes Ongori (Team Hokuren) by one second and Kenyan Danielle Philomena Cheyech (Team Uniqlo) by four seconds. The National Jitsugyodan Women's Ekiden Championships this year followed the trend of Japan's other major ekidens in the last few years in the questionable practice of restricting foreign-born runners, generally the best athletes on their teams, to the shortest stages. Besides minimizing the advantage of teams which can afford to recruit overseas runners, for broadcasters it means that with only 10 minutes of running time, between showing the back of the packers finishing the preceeding stage far behind the leaders, going through a computerized guide to the stage course, showing the runners on the following stage warming up and commercial breaks, they must devote minimal screen time to showing non-Japanese runners outrunning their domestic rivals. The implication for what they seem to think race viewers want to see is not very encouraging and is a disservice to fans who appreciate a good performance regardless of where it comes from. You'd like to hope this is the majority of the domestic TV audience.
- Kayoko Fukushi (Team Wacoal) illustrated for the second time this season that she is fully operational and recovered from the injuries that have bothered her since her spectacular-for-the-wrong-reasons marathon debut at the 2008 Osaka International Women's Marathon, passing ten teams and running a 31:02 new stage record on the 10.0 km Third Stage after a 15:14 first half. Yurika Nakamura (Team Tenmaya), Misaki Katsumata (Team Daiichi Seimei) and Yoko Shibui (Team Mitsui Sumitomo Kaijo) ran most of the stage together in the lead, pushing each other to the 2nd through 4th-best times on the stage while Fukushi came up from behind. When Fukushi blew by the leaders at 6.4 km Shibui, then leading, was unable to respond but Nakamura tried to go along and thereby became the only woman besides Fukushi to break 32 minutes. Asked how she felt about her new record after her run, Fukushi seemed to be back to her cocky old self as she told reporters, "Yeah! Congratulations to me! Pretty incredible, huh? It's been a long time since I've run this well. Actually, this is the first time." THIS was the Fukushi who could turn out a 2:18 marathon if she had the drive. If only we could be so lucky as to see it happen.
- As strong as her Fifth Stage run was, Miki Ohira (Team Mitsui Sumitomo Kaijo) was a distant 2nd on time, 49 seconds behind stage winner Yukiko Akaba (Team Hokuren). Akaba, deep in training for January's Osaka International Women's Marathon where she hopes to make up for her poor showing in the World Championships marathon and World Half Marathon, clocked 37:00 for 11.6 km, passing eight teams and surprising all with this display of speed.

Our next-door neighbour has informed us that sometime this year he will have renovation work on his apartment. Unfortunately he is not able to specify the exact beginning of construction since he is waiting for a permit from Lisbon City Hall. It will not influence our apartment directly but as all construction there will probably be some noise during work hours. Please consider this fact before you book.

Beautiful apartment just as described here on wimdu. The host is very kind and helpful as she's giving you advices when needed. We'll love to come back one day. I'm highly recommending this apartment.
The apartment of Ines is excactly as seen in the photos: full of light, charming, very clean, and spacious for a couple. It was the perfect retreat after several hours of sightseeing in Lissabon.
As to the neighbourhood: In my opinion, it's the best neighbourhood one might want. Close (3 min walk) to one of the most beautiful viewtops of the city (Miradaou Santa Catarina) and the Tejo with a great rooftop restaurant (within the hotel Madame Petisca, good food, great view!), several bars in the neighbourhood, small shops, very nice neighbours. The small street itself is quiet, though, which we appreciated. And it's close (10 min walks) to loads of other sightseeing spots, city shopping center, etc etc
Thanks a lot, Ines, for a great stay in Lissabon.
We enjoyed our stay in this lovely apartment. When we arrived, Ines was already there to welcome us.
It was all clean and we feel really at home. The kitchen is nearly new and you will miss nothing.
When we will come back to Lisboa we would choose the same place.
The walk in the city is only about 10 minutes.
It is in a small street. It was quiet around us. And from the top you have a nice view to the Bridge 25 abril.
It was a very nice apartment. Ines was very friendly and nothing was to much to ask. If you need anything, you can always ask.
The apartment has a good location in the Bairro Alto area, it was close to everything.
Very good overall. We had a perfect holiday.
Typical flat built in the fifties, lovingly restorated, light flooded and superibly located in an old Lisbon quarter near Baixa. Ines is very helpful too. Absolutely recommendable! You get a part of Lisbon when you stay here
We really enjoyed staying in Ines apartment. It is cosy and clean. Looks exactly like on the pictures. The airconditioning works really well so we had a good nights sleep despite the summer heat outside. Apartment is pretty central with loads of nice restaurants and bars close by. I would highly recommend it.
This apartment has a good location in a peaceful and quiet street close to the intensive life in Bairro Alto. It was very clean with a comfortable bed and a well equipped kitchen. Everything in perfect order. The only negative thing was a smell coming from the water seal in the bathroom. But if you kept the window open there was no problem.
Margarida and Inês was always available for e-mail conversation and with good advise regarding restaurants and places of interest. They were very attentive and also helped us to order a taxi to the airport the morning of our departure.
We can recommend their apartment and would love to come back.
Lars & Maria, Sweden
Perfect appartments, we had a really nice rest. We will be glad to stay there in future.
Ines offers a beautiful apartment at a very good location. The apartment is light and fresh and is equiped with a good kitchen. For the bedroom you go up to the stairs and you'll find a double bed and when you look out of the window you'll find Lisboa streched at your feet! We ll just have to get back.
We had a great time in Lisbon and the apartment.
The apartment is located close to the center of Bairro Alto/Chiado in a lovely, 'authentic' neighborhood, it's ideal for exploring the city on foot. After each day-trip and a lot of stair-climbing, it was always a pleasure to come back there again. It's really cosy, nicely refurbished and furnished, everything is well prepared and very clean.
Tram 28 passes by a short 2 minutes walk away, Miradouro Santa Catarina (Noobai-lovely!) is just around the corner.
Inês and Margarida are perfect hosts.
Margarida, thanks for your warm welcome, Inês, again, thanks for your tips!
We can really recomment Adamastor 25 and hope to come back again.

Date of Stay: July, 2014
Very nice clean campground. Stayed in site Q54, with friends (1 travel trailer and two fifth wheels). Sites were pretty level. Not much shade but they have planted trees. Plenty for kids to do. On site restaurant and ice cream parlor were good. This was our first time staying. Not well signed driving 443 to campground. Will definitely return.
Date of Stay: July, 2014
It had been 7 years since we camped at Otter Lake. Finally returned and felt like we were stepping back in time. Everything was just as it was 7 years ago, clean, friendly and full of fun. Need to watch on the 7 mile ride on the local road. Very winding, bumpy, and somewhat narrow for trailers. Bathrooms/showers were clean. Did not use either pool but many others did. All roads are paved and sites are pretty level. Sites are pretty roomy and shaded. The lake is beautiful with canoe, row boat, paddle boat and kayak rentals. The only reason I gave an 8 rating is due to the narrow roads off the main road. Also, Wi-Fi and cell service are not good. Will definitely return again, only much sooner this time.
Date of Stay: May, 2014
Staff was very friendly! CG was neat, clean and landscaped very nicely. Sites are long and pretty spacious. Security gates are present through out all entrances/exits. The CG also rents canoes and kayaks. We happened to camp at the CG when a huge storm hit in which the Juniata River was flooding. The staff took precautions and moved trailers to higher ground. They watched the river all night and day to insure everyone's safety. As others have previously mentioned, the train does run all hours of the day and night. If you are in a site on the river side, you will definitely hear it. I do not know how loud it is up on the hill. I love trains so it did not bother me but for those who want peace and quiet, camping on the river side is not for you. This was our first time, site unseen, and we enjoyed our stay. Juniata Winery was present on Saturday for free wine tastings and sales. Very good! Everyone was very friendly including seasonal campers. We would return definitely!
Date of Stay: August, 2013
This was our first trip to Pioneer, unseen. The owners are absolutely wonderful and helpful. The entrance to the campground was a little questionable as it was not well signed along the way. It is very narrow too. Just follow the main road which will lead you right into the campground. You go through a portion of the campground in order to get to the office. Everyone is very friendly and the seasonals sites are all clean and well kept. The campground is close to World's End and Rickets Glen State Parks. Eagle's Mere is not far but there are not many shops as they claim. We would definitely return in the future! Very relaxing trip!
Date of Stay: July, 2013
We love camping at this campground. The sites are very spacious and shaded. We camp up on the hill. The pull thrus below are very few and in with the seasonal sites. Not much privacy at all with everyone walking by to the rec hall, pool and store. Not very shaded there either. Everyone is very very nice who work for the campground. They have it all together for Friday night check in with escorts to help you navigate and park the trailer. There is also plenty to do outside of the resort as well. Wineries, outlets etc. We camped in a travel trailer.
Date of Stay: May, 2013
We enjoy camping here. We like the pull through sites on the hill near the pool. No sewer connection up here though, but very quiet. Most sites are shaded and spacious. The park is clean and everyone is very pleasant. A lot to do outside of it; Renaissance Fair, outlets, wineries, Green Dragon Flea Market etc. Also, off season it is very cheap to keep your trailer on site for a week. Loved going up the next weekend and not having to tow the trailer.
Date of Stay: July, 2012
Over the past two years we have camped here several times a year. We have camped along Horseshoe Drive, and up in the pull through sites. We thoroughly enjoy the pull through sites (water/electric only). Nice, quiet and spacious. On the weekends they have ample activities. This weekend was Critter Weekend with a pet parade and contest along with a reptile show and Mill Creek Search & Rescue Demo which we learned a lot! The staff is very friendly, along with the seasonal campers. We will definitely return!
Date of Stay: July, 2012
We enjoy this campground very much! We camped up on the hill. Very quiet and sites are a very nice size. Fifth wheels camped up there as well. If you like quiet and lots to do, this campground has it! Up on the hill is quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle of the pool and activities but yet you are close to enjoy them as well. The campground offers golf cart rentals too. We will return again!!

Dale and Rob talk about the Sox trying to at least salvage 1 game in their series in Texas this weekend. Rob says this is what makes an ace, an ace - can Lester truly be the stopper and get a W today? The guys then move on the end of the Celtics season and talk about what the future may bring to the Green team.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
They came to play that's for sure how hard I think he deserves to. Doing tonight but I think we did some good the stuff -- -- -- -- call that's what we want that's what we talk about. And just couldn't get -- each of them until Tuesday. Bruins center David crate G after last night's loss. Dale Arnold rob Bradford in here on sports Sunday. I'm beginning to be a little concerned about the possibility that. There may not be a suspension for -- -- why because the guy who's probably most clued in on this stuff is. Bob McKenzie from TS and he tweeted out a few minutes ago that Detroit's Justin a Abdul -- But I have a telephone hearing with the NHL this afternoon for his hit on Tony -- last night. But I haven't seen anything from MacKenzie so far on a telephone hearing for the on and off. He knows that Abdul Khader has a hearing scheduled but nothing. As -- on patience patience outlook reasonable people can reasonably disagree on this. I know I've talked Aaliyah -- all about it last night she didn't think that it was a they suspend a bull hit balls get -- Leo on the phone and brighter outlook I think that there are people who who don't think it was. Other people who do think it was I don't find out when I saw that I thought that the the initial point of contact. Was on -- shoulder. To Daniel IA's head. And then as -- UN forty both pointed out he followed through with the elbow just have him to be -- now that's the tolerate up. So will will say at least up to this point I haven't seen anything indicating any hearing are real quickly before we get the calls video we're gonna do that right now. Sox lose last night look very anemic with the bats in Texas. I'm I'm going based on things that I've read and watch the highlights because I was obviously working while the game was going on last night. But this is at this early stage of the season. This is a very big start for Jon Lester tonight well this of this come off to clunkers general for him. If you want identify. What's the most important it's cliche to say the top of the rotation even starting pitching. But this is a perfect example of -- this is why the two most important guys on the east team Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester. Because you are you're facing you've gone you've got a little bit rough patch now you have to face when the best pitchers in the American League Yu Darvish. And normally you would say OK you know what just pack your bags units while the sweeping go home. But you have Jon Lester this is what he is therefore this is what Clay Buchholz is air for. So. You know and in so I think it is a big not a -- Huge starts -- big start for -- right coming off back to back non Lester like performances. You know and I know we still undefeated and an all lap but. He said to look around now where. That doesn't look like the Jon Lester I saw early in the season. And you you don't want him falling back or giving he said any hint of that big he's gonna go through struggles he went through last year even the second half. Which is he correct that some think after that Ronald start review of the eleven run. Was a little bit better but not quite you're going to want that pitcher the only pitcher you want is a guy who's on spring training and the first four games of the season. And you know so in that respect I do think it's a big start yeah. We'll see what happens tonight in Texas they wrap up the series against the Rangers and look the Sox are still off to a remarkable start. They're having a great early part of the season I love almost everything I've seen. Bats were silent lastly I don't as they face Yu Darvish and it's not only the bad so I do they haven't played well the last two connected to games. Defense of -- haven't played well. And you know they haven't been able -- situationally is LLC have been so I think all the whole across the board he just knew better all around game today. And the Celtics as you know or done for the season the question now becomes what's gonna happen in this offseason. Will Paul Pierce be bought out will. -- -- you've got to understand Kevin Garnett has a no trade clause I keep hearing will the Celtics trade Kevin Garnett has he holds the card right here's does not. Right in in Kevin Garnett case he can simply say not wanna go there and and everybody seems to think. -- Danny and doc go to and say hey when you accept the trade to -- the clippers acts the lakers whoever it is that is just go. I'm not sure that's true. They can decide they don't want pierce on the team anymore and I am out for a considerable sum of money make him a free agent he can move on down the highway. The question is is that their best -- Given where they are right now or is their best bet to -- to bring the band back together for one more -- bring back pierce and Garnett. You know Rondo will presumably be healthy Jeff Green you know is a much better player than he was Avery Bradley I mean that group. You take one last run at -- them or do you blow up now. Is to here's two things in regards to Kevin Garnett. If -- yeah you're right he holds the cards by his decision might be predicated largely on what appears assess. Well what they do with peers in other words if they do something with pierce then he says you know what I'll care I'll I'll I'll take that trade. By everything you a lot of but the -- about what you should do and it's such an easy reacts in the same blow it up. I don't think -- I think they should keep it I think they should keep it for another year and here's my reasoning is that. You have a much better chance of winning or you have the chance to win the only take a chance a chance at winning and I think. A semi legitimate chance at winning. If you keep them together because if you had this team. With Rondo won it with solid -- even with pierce and Garnett like they are. You were gonna have a series with might -- Miami Heat. And you're going to be. Probably not. But you're gonna have you you're gonna have an entertaining series -- them. And via the the other part of this argument which is why I think this way is because. It has gotten so far down the line with pierce and Garnett in regard to their trade value. I just think they mean more to this team and they do -- any trade right now I just don't think you can get the values that you need to in order to justify that -- -- -- the other part of it but Kevin Garnett agree. I I mean it looked like there was much slippage now pierce look a little old to me to be honest in this series Kevin Garnett didn't. It in in. If Kevin Garnett is what it is that. He's not the old Kevin Garnett beat that's fine because what is the one of the harder or what is the hardest thing to find in basketball which -- big man. And guess what you have a pretty good one not the guys and maybe you want is not the best but no he's pretty good we'll try out try going out and getting back guy in the open market. Not easy. -- let's get the call 6177797937. As the telephone number Tex lines available to me at the AT&T text line. And its common already at 37937. Thomas and Salem -- -- kick it off Boris here on sports on. Good morning gentlemen mourning mourning. And I think this is all it tickled by AMOCO was calling it a little lower income while. I call the appointment and I was sitting on the phone. And the public have indicated in the backseat that's a lot of Annika. Felt a little Italy quickly actors look like you know actually believes in and out -- picking and I appreciate it. Noble on dale a couple of and a -- and the anti. -- told ya so cruel I think it made you uncomfortable all bought into everything is just a final. I'm wary of showing how -- you. And this little two other guys I read. And and really gets -- and the other -- -- in mind wandering and the end and and bad -- Jackie went small and of course but. It's actually been property is an insult me act and brought them I told me that you Clinton felt finally. I'll look all of this guy had built in East London into the iconic moment a little guy I -- what you ejection on. What we all elite which got an eternity you're certainly going to the big walk away rightly. The dollar to achieve it shouldn't be -- it would picture do we. It was that -- but I don't I saw -- you up. Like the look at it and when you got mentioning Michael moments of -- -- making it mine mine and the little boy picture and -- Okay what you describe it didn't seem like you to scrabble night. Talk slowly and Internet look at. It was amazing I mean if you were in the building you felt that if you're watching on TV. -- -- -- I did -- week the picture out this morning it showed it to added this really is striking its enemy won't talk about. Iconic moments to me that's iconic picture. Seattle that -- is cynical by itself I. And and I'm. Very very small. And and -- -- -- the only thinking about that my original question is why it caught you need to be -- -- would it. Good young. Well I'll say this Tom and I think part of this has to do with the fact I think home ice. Means less in hockey in home court in basketball -- home field in footballer. -- I'm probably not even home field in baseball but home ice doesn't seem to be as big -- deal. In my opinion. You know of visiting team winning a playoff game is not something unusual look at the islanders. Going into Pittsburgh the -- Sidney Crosby returns from the islanders beat the Pittsburgh Penguins and come from three goals down to beat them. I mean that that's the sort of thing that kind of happens on a regular basis the San Jose Sharks who went to Vancouver and -- both the first two games invent who won. So. Am visiting team winning and hockey is just not that unusual so I wasn't shocked the Toronto took game out of here. I'll be shocked if the Bruins don't -- game out of Toronto Monday and Wednesday. -- you know I agree with you because I -- Why can't obviously proved this -- hockey such a fast moving game. There isn't the time for the the crowd to have such an enormous effect on things in other words in football you have. The offenses lead the crowd is making noise for the offense and can't hit the signals. In baseball as such it's slow moving game where you can maybe get in Summers had been. Such a fast moving game maybe that's the reason an individual match. Sure it's a pitcher and hitter you know it it it's not a teen thing it's an individual things so it's different mind and end all that said I. I am fascinated by the Toronto dynamic having been up there last week for the Red Sox instinct 5000 people four though. Wednesday night game it was probably generous in the in their assessment yes there was I didn't see one single paper airplane -- that's how few. Of them. But there was one person going to -- -- so few people there. But discs but being around that city. And there was a rally that Wednesday night out right a couple blocks down from Roger -- And that's what I'm fascinated with I don't think it'll have an enormous effect on the outcome of the game. But just Toronto being what it is and have not having a playoff game so long that that's to me if you're gonna take a first round. Storyline that's a pretty good one. Last night was the Maple Leafs first playoff victory in nine years. How they ever do it games in between them sick it did they're the only team that didn't have a playoff game between -- I say you know what Phil Kessel coming down a break away I'm surety respecting that I'd thrown out -- running through -- coursing through his head. 6177797937. -- telephone number AT&T text like 37937. -- -- sports Sunday Sports Radio WE yeah.

Every one a winner - thanks Richard I too have not seen such a collection all together.Just as appropriate now as ever"The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they're ignorant: It's just that they know so much that isn't so."
Not a ''Reaganism but something I always find amusing -
Definition of an ''expert''?
Someone who learns more and more, about less and less - until he knows everything about nothing.
I remember too this one, from New Scientist many moons ago -
What is the difference between Research and Development??
Development is taking an existing idea and knocking it into shape thru experiment and improvements. Research - is more like trying to make 9 ladies pregnant to get a baby in a month's time!

Before we begin the roundtable, TigsTown would like to bid a fond farewell to associate editor Jason Avery. After more than five years of outstanding draft coverage, Jason will be moving on, but we'd like to thank him for all of his hard work, and wish him well with his new endeavors!
Paul Wezner, Executive Editor
Honestly, this is one of the strangest teams I can ever remember the organization fielding, especially after such an active and productive off-season. The Tigers made a $50 million signing at catcher, and yet, catcher is a big question mark for the team. They signed their left side of the infield to multi-year deals, and yet there's uncertainty at both third base and shortstop (one for a concern about offense, the other for a concern about defense). They signed a big time setup man, yet have questions about their bullpen and middle relief. They signed a starting pitcher, yet no one feels comfortable with the rotation beyond the first couple starters. In other words, despite plenty of action to address issues, there's still plenty of issues. With a strong top of the rotation and a strong heart of the order, the Tigers are going to win ballgames. I just don't know if they've got enough in the tank to truly compete at the highest levels. For that reason, I think the Tigers will finish 82-80, in third place in the AL Central.
Mark Anderson, Managing Editor
This is going to be an interesting year for Tiger fans. On the surface, they've added some talent that could really help them be a better club; talent in the form of Joaquin Benoit, Victor Martinez, and Brad Penny. That talent however, far from guarantees the Tigers success in 2011. There are still massive questions in the middle of the infield. Can Jhonny Peralta hit at an acceptable level considering his likely defensive issues, or will the Tigers be looking for another solution at mid-season. Was 2010 a fluke for Will Rhymes or can he muster some passable performance at the plate? In the outfield there are questions as well. Will the real Ryan Raburn please stand up? On top of that, how much will Austin Jackson actually regress to the mean and how much does Magglio Ordonez actually have left in the tank? The pitching staff isn't bereft of questions either, as Rick Porcello has to take a step forward, Max Scherzer has to gain some modicum of consistency, and Phil Coke has to demonstrate that he can start at the big league level. That's a lot of questions! That said, I'm not sure its an inordinate amount of questions for a team looking to contend in the AL Central. I think the Tigers will be a competitive club, but they will need health and a little luck to truly contend for the top spot in the division. In the end, I think they get some of what they need to compete, tease their fans with a nice run at some point, but ultimately end up around 82-84 wins this year.
Jason Avery, Associate Editor, Amateur Baseball
In some ways, 2011 is a make-or-break year for the Tigers. After reaching the World Series in 2006, the Tigers have had second-half collapses in 2007 and 2009 that made for bitter endings after very promising starts. Last year, the Tigers were in the race at the All-Star break, but quickly fell out of it by losing 15 of their first 19 games in the second half, and they needed a win on the season's last day to finish with a .500 record. After an offseason that saw the Tigers sign Victor Martinez and Joaquin Benoit as free agents, the Tigers seem primed to make their first postseason trip since 2006. Led by Justin Verlander, the Tigers' rotation should be solid, although there will be questions whether or not Phil Coke can hold up with an increased workload, and if Brad Penny can hold down the No. 5 spot. Although Joel Zumaya is hurt, the Tigers' bullpen should be in fine shape with the addition of Benoit to handle the setup role. The Tigers have one of the game's best hitters in Miguel Cabrera, and he'll have more support with Martinez hitting in the heart of the order. With General Manager Dave Dombrowski and manager Jim Leyland now in the final years of their contracts, the Tigers will be under increasing scrutiny should the Tigers get off to a slow start, or if the team continues its trend of playing poorly in the second half, but I think this will be the year the Tigers get over the hump and win the division with a 91-71 record.

A few weeks ago -- over on the The Forrester Community For Customer Intelligence Professionals -- I gave a sneak peek at the Customer Intelligence agenda for our upcoming Marketing Forum in San Francisco on April 5th and 6th. But now that we're only a few weeks out, I wanted to share the exciting content here too.
This year's theme of the Customer Intelligence talks is "Accelerating Intelligence: How Marketers Leverage Customer Intelligence To Drive Decision Making." We think this content aligns with Customer Intelligence professionals' interests and goals and the sessions will deliver actionable insight from our star CI analysts. We've published a lot of great research recently and are excited to share it at the forum. Here's what our team will present at the forum:

Port-au-Prince: Armed rebels have seized the central town of Hinche and killed the district police chief as an uprising against the embattled President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, spread to new areas of Haiti.
Two other men also died, while Aristide loyalists reportedly killed two anti-government supporters in the port town of St Marc, pushing the death toll since February 5, when rebels seized the northern city of Gonaives, to almost 60.
Mr Aristide told reporters he was speaking to regional leaders to rally support for an international police force to deploy under the banner of the Organisation of American States.
The Dominican Republic has closed its border with Haiti and called on the international community to take action to end the crisis, which it said "could endanger the entire region".
France is studying the possibility of sending a peacekeeping force to Haiti, the Foreign Minister, Dominique de Villepin, said.
The attack on Hinche's police station was led by Louis Jodel Chamblain, a feared paramilitary leader under the former Haitian military dictator Raoul Cedras.
By nightfall, Hinche, with a population 87,000, was said to be largely in rebel hands, with police retreating to the town of Mirebalais, 55 kilometres to the south.
Meanwhile, rebels armed with machetes and rifles escorted an aid convoy led by the Red Cross into Gonaives. The convoy was carrying 1.6 tonnes of supplies, including blood and surgical equipment.
