TPP, RCEP, and Japan's Agricultural Policy Reforms
In this paper we compare welfare effects and the extent of sectoral adjustments under the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) accords using a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model from the perspective of Japan. The ambitious goals of both organizations, as well as overlapping membership, make comparisons of different scenarios particularly intriguing. Another objective of this paper is to examine the effects of Japan's agricultural policy reforms on its agricultural output. If agricultural reforms, such as phasing out gentan and consolidation of agricultural land, lead to an improvement in productivity of agricultural sectors, then the extent of output contraction of agricultural and processed food sectors in Japan would be reduced significantly except for dairy products. This suggests the importance of carrying out agricultural reforms in Japan for region-wide trade accords.

Ian Trebilcock wins 3A golf playoff, helps Collegiate to team title
CHENEY As Collegiates Ian Trebilcock analyzed his 25-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole of the Class 3A golf championships, he kept seeing the line as straight.
But because of the awkward pin placements on nearly every hole at Cherry Oaks Golf Course, he knew that just wasnt possible.
Trebilcocks competitor, Hesstons Titus Ewert, had a tricky six-footer left for par, so all Trebilcock wanted to do was two-putt and hope for an Ewert miss.
As he stood over the ball, Trebilcock felt the slightest break to the left on his putt. He trusted the line and walked in the birdie putt to win medalist honors.
Both Trebilcock and Ewert shot 1-under 71, one shot clear of Collegiates Cameron Chugg.
The Spartans won the team title, shooting a season best 302, 15 strokes better than Hesston.
I felt the break in my feet, Trebilcock said. I was trying to get it close, obviously, but after I adjusted the line, I trusted it and it went in.
The opening three holes at Cherry Oaks are three of the five most difficult holes on the course, according to handicap. All Trebilcock wanted to do was survive those holes and he knew he could post a low score.
After making back-to-back bogeys on two and three, Trebilcock birdied both par fives Nos. 4 and 9 for a frontside 36.
I was still confident after the first three holes, Trebilcock said. I didnt let those early bogeys get to my head.
Trebilcocks only blemish on the back nine was a three-putt bogey on 11. He answered with a birdie on the par 3 14th, where he stuck his tee shot to three feet, and a long birdie putt on 16.
But the stress wasnt over for Trebilcock.
He made a par-saving putt from five feet on 17 and then another from three feet on 18.
I just tried to control myself and not think about how I needed to finish, Trebilcock said. Ive been close in tournaments in the past and I have let my emotions get to me. I controlled them today.
After nine holes, Ewert wasnt even in the mix for medalist honors. He made four bogeys on the front nine and just one birdie. On the back nine, however, all of the putts started to fall.
He one-putted the first five holes on the inward nine, which included two birdies. He closed birdie-birdie to first post 71.
I hit the ball well the entire round, but I just made the putts on the back nine, Ewert said. Coming off the 18 green, I figured I had a chance.
In the playoff, Ewert found the fairway with his drive, while Trebilcock landed in the right rough.
With nearly 200 yards for his second shot, Ewert went short and left on his approach and then came up short on his pitch shot.
Trebilcock played his approach shot from 175 yards out to the right, avoiding the long slope on the left side of the green.
There were several greens where I knew I couldnt go dead at the flag, Trebilcock said. On this course, that strategy helped.
This was Collegiates 18th state title, but first in Class 3A since 2011.
Given the conditions, I thought we could shoot something like this, Collegiate coach Kevin Reed said. Cameron and Ian have been solid all year, it was just nice to have a couple other guys step up and play well today.

Hi, I'm new too
I'm in midwest area, not a specialist at anything. I analyze things and have a fairly decent idea of some basic engineering, but I get pretty crunched when getting down to doing things. I'm an over thinker. not a do-er.
I'm currently working on a deck project that has been thought out and then changed as I go. I draw things out, people say that's good, then I do it and say, man, I think this would be better. I really wish I did just about everything different on this ongoing deck project.
also, I need to PM a guy that seemed very helpful this board and I can't until I get 15 posts. So hi, everyone. I also think like a perfectionist but I don't have the skills to make perfection happen. Example: I'll take my time and cut this perfect, then my cut ends up being off anyway.
Introduction continuing: I started off as a level headed auto motivated person in high school. Still have a strong interest in them but don't think the money investment is worth it right now. I've been around people diy-ing things always interested in learning and helping. Inherited a decent but aging amount of wood tools, and have expanded a bit myself.
Welcome! I tend to over-think and over-build things myself sometimes.

Former Liverpool defender Sami Hyypia is the new favourite to take over as Albion manager.
Hyppia's odds were slashed to a best-price Evens today as the Seagulls hunt for a successor to Oscar Garcia.
The Finn was being quoted as odds-on with two bookies.
Hyypia was linked with the Albion job last month and is keen to get back into management.
He was dismissed by Bayer Leverkusen two months ago.
Albion spoke to contenders last week and the quest to replace Oscar is continuing.

Recursive Backtracking, Animated
A couple of weeks ago I described the recursive backtracking algorithm for generating mazes. Here's an animation of the generation of a maze using recursive backtracking. As you can see, the maze begins as an array of unconnected little rooms, and grows room by room from one starting room.
By Mark Lambert, November 23, 2012 @ 7:09 am
This is way cool! Don't understand it, but it sure is fun to watch! Now if the final product would only stay for more than a split second before it jumps to the next maze…
By Mark Lambert, November 23, 2012 @ 7:15 am
My bad. I just realized that it keeps building the same maze over and over again.

Next Microsoft Patch Tuesday: This Year's Biggest
Microsoft will release critical updates for six security issues next Tuesday.
This Patch Tuesday will include a controversially delayed Mac MS Office fix, but won't solve a recently discovered directx flaw for Quicktime files.
Biggest Monthly Update This Year
The monthly update, which will be biggest so far this year, will contain critical fixes for Windows, Internet Explorer, Word and Excel in particular, and Office in general.
In all cases, hackers could gain remote control of an affected computer. The Internet Explorer issue appears particularly serious as it reportedly affects all editions, even the recently released version 8. (Source: computerworld.com)
Mac Office Finally Patched
The updates will include a Mac fix for a problem which affected both Windows and Mac editions of Office.
Microsoft issued a Windows fix last month, but announced it did not have a Mac solution ready, which caused some hostility. While Microsoft argued that it was better to protect as many users as possible rather than wait until it could help everyone, critics argued that doing so put Mac users at extra risk by publicizing the unplugged security loophole.
This caused anger among security researchers who say they are pressured by Microsoft to not reveal bugs. Fortunately, on this occasion it doesn't appear as if hackers were able to take advantage and launch successful attacks.
No Quick Fix For QuickTime Bug
Microsoft doesn't yet have a fix for a problem with DirectShow, a system used for handling video and graphics when watching streaming videos (that is, ones users watch online rather than downloading first). The bug involves the way the system handles QuickTime files, a format developed by Apple.
Although there's no Quicktime fix available yet, users can download a tool to work around the problem. This tool prevents computers automatically playing QuickTime movies (and potentially opening a computer up to hackers). Link:
While using this tool, users won't be able to play QuickTime movies on webpages, and will need to either find a different format where available, or download the QuickTime video to their computer and watch in a standalone player. (Source: zdnet.com)

A Bit of Shade
My J/105 is more of a racer than a cruiser, but every once in a while I put in a few nights aboard with the family. Im 6ft 3in, and the boat has about a foot less headroom than I need, so Ive always paid close attention to the weatherbeing stuck below on a rainy day for more than an hour or so would put a big damper on the trip. Last year I was offered a ShadeTree awning to try, and what a difference it made. It was like adding a whole outside cabin to my J/105a cabin with standing headroom, open to the cooling breeze, but protected from the sun and the rain.
The first time we erected the ShadeTree, it was a bit of a puzzle. The awning, made from coated Dacron, is heavy and obviously made to last. Carbon fiber-fiberglass rods are used to give the awning its tunnel shape, which makes it self-supporting. The instructions were not especially clear, but my wife and I managed to set it upwhile under wayin a little under 30 minutes. We had just set out on a windless day to motor 40 miles home, and the two families on board were very happy to have some shade to sit under.
The next time we put up the awning was during a weekend cruise. This time I decided to put it together by myself. Fifteen minutes later I had doubled the living area of the boat. That night I was able to sleep outside, and the awning kept me dry from the heavy dew that settled everywhere else.
While the ShadeTree is harder to erect than my usual covera Home Depot tarpaulin with four lengths of bungeeit is sturdier and much more attractive. While I have not yet put it to the test, the awning feels as if the wind could withstand a good 20 knots without a problem. As we plan our future cruises, its good to know we can erect the ShadeTree and get some significant protection from the sun and rain.
Prices for the ShadeTree awning start at $440 for stern awnings and $320 for bow awnings. For more information, click here.

Theater should master a universe, create worlds in unlikely places, transport its audience to a specific elsewhere. A production, a play, a performance—all should make something where there was nothing, out of thin air, as it were.
UM's Rumors, which opened Tuesday and runs through next week in the Masquer Theatre, is Neil Simon's farce of upper-class manners, or lack of manners, set in a wealthy suburb of New York, among four long-married couples who have gathered for an anniversary party at the house of friends.
While Matt Greseth's cast executes his nimble direction swiftly (and speed counts for almost everything in farce), never sacrificing sense, the cast members simply cannot overcome the production's general naïveté as to the world it hopes to conjure.
The set spans the width and fills the corners of the Masquer's stage in a way I haven't seen it used before, with a formal foyer, a big, sunken living room, a floating staircase, a balcony and a wet bar; it's always bracing to see a familiar space reinvented. But the interior decor and the art on the walls are neutral to the point of being hotel-lobby plain, while these are rich people who would trumpet their tastes. Neither do the costumes seem right as the clothes of charity-gala-going New Yorkers; they look like clothes from the mall hung on people who shop couture. The characters all drive luxury cars—BMWs, Audis—yet I had trouble believing the actors had ever sat in one. University productions can usually be counted on for design sophistication and scenic excellence, but Rumors is an exception.
Details of costume and scenery are of particular importance in Rumors because without them we must focus entirely on the play, and it is Simon's worst: a tortured rush of unfunny half-liners, a play which depends on rhyming names together for laughs, and not just one laugh, but lots of laughs. Or how about this for an endless joke: Ken, momentarily deprived of his hearing after the report of a gunshot, responds to questions getting just a word wrong.
Question: "What time is it?"
Answer: [shouting] "Why do you need a dime?"
Move over, Sprint commercials! Is it unreasonable of us to demand more of the writer who inve-nted The Odd Couple and The Out-of-Towners? This comedy is beneath him and it shows. It's tossed off, unimpressive and stale, even dated. The characters are all fairly awful, spoiled, self-interested luxury whores who gossip about tennis-club politics. Simon never cares to make them sympathetic, so they are left to bray and force funniness out of themselves.
The marriages depicted—and this is a play about marriage if it is about anything—have a nasty, labored feel to them, each one repugnant in its own way and each one defined by a controlling man and a bitchy or manipulative woman. Len and Claire, apparently, are on the rocks, which we learn only in the play's final moments when suddenly he's wooing her, and she softens toward him. But up until that point, their marriage, in its competitive bickering and ho-hum humiliation, is exactly like the other three marriages on the stage, and the cast, forced to make something out of this, resorts to fluttery cartoon motion and, yes, more shouting.
We are meant to be distracted, perhaps, by the noise and chaos, as well as the confused situation. But does Simon have any transformation in mind for these people, any lesson to teach his audience on what to do or not to do? The sweet humanity that underwrites most of his comedy, and his fine, fond eye for the ways of youth (specifically his youth) are not in evidence here. Whatever gift he has for memory and reflection is sadly absent in his inability to comment perceptively on his contemporaries. "Can you believe we actually married these men?" asks one of the wives late in the second act, and I'm thinking, "Why is this the first time you've bothered to ask yourself this question?"
Watching Rumors, I feel that I'm watching a trifle Simon put together to delight the actual people on whom it's based—a sort of court-requested effort. The bewildering success of Rumors always depended on Simon's career, not on the material.
Greseth has a keen sense of timing, blessedly, and the frenzy builds on stage with gratifying speed, never crashing into a muddled heap. But there is far too much shouting and door-slamming, and then Simon gives Ken that hearing problem which means he really has to shout on top of the shouting he's already doing. The actors are clear and distinct and do their best with what they have. Through no fault of their own, none of them conveys anything remo-tely urban, which adds to the feeling of dress-up and pretend. They are almost all good actors, just poorly cast. If Rumors is funny, it is funny in a post-Borscht Belt, Jewish sort of way—a chummy kvetching, a good-natured whining. It is impossible to believe that anyone connected with the production understands this sensibility, but the blame lies principally with Simon, who never comes up with more than a single dimension. As an irritable junior politician, Justin Bates has some grit, and Nathaniel Peterson never fails to bring manic energy to his roles. At the final dress rehearsal, he already had mastered his climactic five-minute speech and can be credited, at least, with closing the show with a flourish.
Rumors runs March 13—15 and March 18—22 at 7:30 p.m. in the Masquer Theatre of the UM PAR/TV Center. Tickets are $11 general, $10 students and seniors. Call 243-4581 for more information.

Although these are attractive looking full color flyers I found they did not work for me. I think iHerb needs to provide a different flyer for international customers as these are directed at US customers only. The information is not correct as printed on the flyer for international customers and therefore people may not take the time to find out the actual facts being international customers.

Thank you, iherb for offering these flyers for free. They are beautiful! However, I wish these were updated to the new offer of $10 off for orders of $40 or more. These only suggest a $5 discount, which is great, but I'd like to spread the word about the $10 savings. Also, I would like to see at least some supplements and vitamins shown here too rather than having to give separate flyers for that.

CBSSports.com Player of the Week: San Diego State's Xavier Thames
San Diego State's Xavier Thames led the Aztecs to the Wooden Legacy title and is the CBSSports.com National Player of the Week.
Jamaal Franklin gone.
No double-digit scorers returning.
So, as my pal Jeff Eisenberg pointed out late Sunday, this was supposed to be a transition season for San Diego State, just a gap year between relevant departures and the arrival of a heralded recruiting class. But we now know that isn't likely to be the case. The Aztecs are 5-1 with a close loss to Arizona and wins over Creighton and Marquette after taking the Wooden Legacy title in Anaheim. They went 3-0 in that event thanks, in part, to Xavier Thames averaging 22.0 points while shooting 56.3 percent from the field. Consequently, the senior guard is the CBSSports.com National Player of the Week.
"None of this would be possible without my teammates," Thames told reporters late Sunday, according to the Associated Press. "They were finding me when I was wide open."
Indeed, they were.
And he made them look smart for doing it.
So, again, Thames is the CBSSports.com National Player of the Week.
If you're interested, Jeff Borzello, Matt Norlander and I spent some time on Monday morning's podcast talking about San Diego State and the job Steve Fisher is doing, specifically how it's rare for a coach who is fired from one job in this sport (like Fisher was once fired from Michigan) to move forward and successfully coach another nationally relevant program (like Fisher is doing now at San Diego State). It really is a story that deserves more attention than it gets, especially considering Fisher seems likely to this season take SDSU to the NCAA tournament for the fifth consecutive time, which would be a school record. Seriously, hats off. Give the podcast a listen, if you haven't already.
Now about my updated Top 25 (and one).
Lots of SDSU fans have tweeted asking why the Aztecs weren't included, and it's a fair question. I could argue that SDSU is merely 33rd at KenPom.com and thus not necessarily worthy of inclusion, but I don't believe that. I think SDSU's resume, to date, is legit.
So why didn't I rank the Aztecs?
Here's the deal: I now update the Top 25 (and one) each day, and I generally do not like dropping teams out of the rankings that don't lose on that particular day. I'm not saying I'll never do it; I'm just saying I don't like doing it. And, truth is, only two teams that I had ranked Sunday actually lost on Sunday -- Oklahoma State and North Carolina. (Note: By Sunday, having adjusted earlier, I had neither Creighton nor Marquette ranked.) Clearly, I couldn't drop Oklahoma State all the way out because that would've been stupid, and Memphis, with that win over Oklahoma State, had to take the place that North Carolina vacated. So I quite simply did not have a spot for San Diego State in the Top 25 (and one), and I realize some fans will not agree with that explanation, but it is, if nothing else, my explanation.
Either way, know this: SDSU is on deck.
I suspect the Aztecs will be ranked here and other places very, very soon.

United's Taylor Mack hit a fast-break layup with two seconds left in the fourth quarter to lift the Lions to a thrilling 49-48 win over host Saltsburg in a Heritage Conference girls' basketball game Wednesday.
With the Trojans clinging to a 48-47 lead, Saltsburg's Olivia Satler drew a foul, sending her to the free throw line for a one-and-one with 10 seconds to play. Satler missed the free throw, United corralled the rebound and immediately pushed the ball upcourt to Mack.
Mack crossed the half-court line, drove to the basket aggressively and banked in a layup to give the Lions a 49-48 lead.
Saltsburg lobbed the ball upcourt but didn't get a shot off before time expired.
"It was disappointing to come up short, but we'll definitely improve from this," Saltsburg coach Janelle Reed said. "We had the fourth-quarter curse before this because teams were blowing us away in the fourth. For us to bust our butts and come back to take the lead late like that was very encouraging."
Eden Bloom scored 14 points and pulled down a season-high 18 rebounds to power United. Mack added 10 points, three steals and three assists, and Kylee Surike had eight points and three assists.
Emilie Okopal racked up a game-high 17 points and had four steals for Saltsburg. Abby Peace tacked on 10 points, six steals and six rebounds, and Ashton Battistelli had six points and four steals.
Both teams play Friday. Saltsburg (0-4) travels to Propel, and United (3-0) visits Northern Cambria.
BLAIRSVILLE 63, PENNS MANOR 17: Three Blairsville players reached double figures in scoring and the Bobcats limited visiting Penns Manor to seven field goals en route to a romp in a Heritage Conference game.
Chelsey Koren scored 14 of her game-high 19 points in the first half, Laurel O'Barto scored nine of her 11, and the Bobcats jumped out to a 31-point halftime lead, 41-10.
"We played pressure defense and forced them into 16 turnovers, and we converted a lot of those turnovers into quick points," Blairsville coach Ralph McGinnis said of the first half.
Koren nabbed six steals and collected a game-high 10 rebounds, O'Barto notched six steals and a game-high eight assists, and Kia Clayton had 10 points.
Emma Tomayko led Penns Manor with five points.
Blairsville (2-1) travels to United on Monday, and Penns Manor plays host to Purchase Line on Friday.
LIGONIER VALLEY 62, HOMER-CENTER 54: Ligonier Valley erupted offensively in the fourth quarter and pulled away in a back-and-forth game to outlast Homer-Center in a Heritage Conference game at the Homer Dome.
Homer-Center held a three-point halftime lead, 32-29, and carried a one-point lead, 43-42, into the fourth quarter.
However, on the strength of six points from Taylor Rudnik and five points from Madison McLaughlin, the Rams outscored the Wildcats 20-11 in the fourth quarter to pull away.
Helene Bloom scored 18 points to lead Ligonier Valley. Olivia Miller added 13 points, and McLaughlin had 10.
Sydney Horel amassed game highs in points and rebounds with 21 and 14, respectively, for Homer-Center.
Julia Buggey added 11 points and seven rebounds, and Alexis Leysock had 10 points and six assists.
Homer-Center (1-1) travels to Marion Center on Friday, and Ligonier Valley visits Conemaugh Township tonight.
MARION CENTER 67, PURCHASE LINE 26: The visiting Stingers kept Purchase Line off the scoreboard in the second quarter en route to a 32-point halftime lead and never looked back in winning their Heritage Conference opener.
Marion Center outscored the Red Dragons 20-0 in the second quarter to build a commanding 41-9 lead at the break. The Stingers carried a 59-16 lead into the fourth quarter.
Chantel Glasser scored a game-high 20 points to lead Marion Center, and Kearsten Brocious drained three 3s and finished with 11 points. Hanna Jo Beer added nine points, while Jenny Irvin and Morgan Glasser chipped in eight apiece.
Mikhala Stover had 11 points for Purchase Line.
Both teams play Friday. Marion Center (2-1, 1-0 conference) welcomes Homer-Center, and Purchase Line visits Penns Manor.

The #1 Food You Should Eat for Breakfast
Find out what food to add to your morning routine to power you through the day.
What did you have for breakfast this morning? At 7:30, I had a cup of cereal with skim milk. Sounds pretty healthy. In the scheme of things I could have done a lot worse, except by the time I got into work at 9:30, I was starving.
Then came what I call my "second breakfast," when I'm suddenly stuffing my face full of whatever I can get my hands on to curb my hunger. Since it's a new year, and I'd like to get things off to a good start, I think it's time for a new breakfast.
But what to eat? Oatmeal is as close to perfect as you can get for a breakfast food. Download a Free Quick Breakfast Cookbook!

Just thinking about major changes in the home to accommodate sources of greener energy is really overwhelming to most homeowners. It is tough to understand where to start and how to improve the environment (and your life) the most. Read the following green energy tips to get a better idea of where to start.
The laundry room is a great place to cut energy usage. First, use the sensor setting that automatically turns off the dryer when the laundry has dried. Use the high-spin option, which reduces the moisture in the laundry, which helps to shorten drying time. Clean the dryer filters regularly, and always check for vent blockages, too.
When you can, wash your laundry in cold water. Almost 90% of the power you use to do laundry is simply used to heat the water. Using a quality detergent means it is unnecessary to use hot water. Additionally, always wash with a full load of laundry, as this helps to lower the amount of energy you use.
Colored Clothing
Instead of blasting the air conditioner to keep cool in summer, wear clothes made from naturally cooling fabrics. Fabrics, such as cotton, draw the moisture further from your skin and let it stay cooler. You may feel warmer when you wear warm-colored clothing, so wear light-colored clothing in order to use the air conditioner less.
Use LED lights on your Christmas tree or when decorating your home for Christmas. A US study shows By having everyone make this change, the country can save 2 billion kilowatt power hours. That's a large amount of electricity–it would power 200,000 homes over the course of the year. At least you will be saving money on your power bill.
It's important to maintain your refrigerator properly. Refrigerators take lots of energy to run, so it's crucial to make sure it is running effectively. Vacuum the coils frequently to remove the dust that can build up and reduce efficiency. In addition, be sure your door seal is tight and clean.
Use a solar-solar powered system to heat water. Heating water with electricity or natural gas is not very efficient, but solar water heaters harness energy from the sun to keep water at a steady temperature. Some of these upgrades, while more expensive up-front, may qualify for green energy tax deductions.
Energy Star Rated
Energy Star rated appliances should be used in the home. The Energy Star rated appliance is guaranteed to use appreciably less energy than the older non-rated appliance. The amount of energy saved depends on the type of appliance. Refrigerators and freezers use 20% less energy, while dishwashers use 40% less. Washing machines use half as much energy as their non-rated counterparts.
Homes have different layouts and will have different areas that can use green technology. These differences will make green-energy technology needs vary. Some will work for any home, and some are site-specific. Use the tips that work best for your home.

Poem, Category, Relationships, Gay
As you might know, it's gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender month here in the good old U.S. of A. In the hope of promoting some quality queer poetry and some quality queer poems here on the poetryfoundation.org, we've got a section of our Poetry Tool dedicated to "gay" poems, whatever that means.
Let's say we decide to include poems based on the subject matter regardless of the poet's purported or claimed orientation. What's missing from our list? I don't mean to ask what are the best queer poems about love, though I'm interested in that too. I mean what's in our Poetry Tool already that's not tagged as a gay poem and should be?
You might start by browsing around what's listed under the broader categories of poems about relationships or poems about love and desire. But we have over 8,500 poems in the archive, so we wouldn't be surprised if you found them elsewhere too…
Comments (9)
Hi Catherine,
Robert Duncan's "Such is the Sickness of Many a Good Thing" would make an excellent inclusion.
Thanks, DA Powell. I was hoping we had "Interrupted Forms" in the archive but we don't. I'm happy to add this to the collection.
I honestly feel as if the category, itself, should be renamed either to read "Lesbian & Gay" or "queer." If you should find the latter is chosen, that might open up your resources: poems that speak of or to non-heteronormative relationships, whether homo- or heterosexual; poems that offer alternatives, critiques, etc.
Nevertheless, I do not take for granted the importance of having a separated section. I offer "Lesbian & Gay" for this because, well, historically "gay" has been used or considered to speak of only male-male relationships.
You said: "Let's say we decide to include poems based on the subject matter regardless of the poet's purported or claimed orientation." But I say: this is not an unhelpful place to begin.
For instance, I haven't noticed Henri Cole on the archives, or his poem 'Homosexuality.' It was published in his sixth collection, 'Black Bird and Wolf."
I will continue to look around and see what I see.
Hi R.L.,
The first instance I can think of where "gay" means "queer, homosexual, lesbian, and/or etc." is Gertrude Stein's "Miss Furr and Miss Skeene," where it signifies a lesbian relationship. "Buggerer" and such terms are, to my mind, gender-specific. Where lesbians often got erased by labels was in legislation against homosexuality, which was often extremely gender-specific. But the coded meaning of "gay" was meant to be inclusive of a broad spectrum of non-heteronormative folks, and we should still consider it as such. No label is entirely correct, nor should it be. And while queer people who have worked through their identity issues might reject this or that label, I think it's good to remember that for young people seeking information–or for non-queer people trying to walk a delicate balance of sensitivity and well-intentioned curiosity–"gay" is an accepted, non-threatening term.
and Dear Cathy,
Thank you for adding this category to the Poetry Tool in a spirit of inclusiveness.
Hello again DA Powell–
I have to admit that I didn't add this category to the archive. It was here when I got here a few months ago. I was poking around it the other day and realized there were lots of things missing. Category tags aside, the quickest and easiest thing to do is to add the "gay" tag to some of the poems that already exist in the archive. We'll happily do that, but I'm guessing there are lots of poems we've missed.
Thanks to everyone for helping us mind the gaps.
What's missing from the list? Almost everything.
I'm baffled as to how to even address this in any sort of practical way, as it's too large a question.
Does one label every poem by an LGBT writer as "gay," following the essentialist argument that anything a gay writer writes is gay? Or does one label such poems only if they contain explicit homoerotic (PLGBT) content. I for one resist labeling lesbian poetry as "gay" because there are often very large aesthetic differences; gender politics and identification issues make things even more complicated, once introduced.
I have in my possession about three dozen anthologies of gay-written, gay-themed poetry, and about a hundred or so individual anthologies by gay poets. There's been a lot published; obviously I'm a collector, being a gay-identified poet myself (and does it mean anything, or not, that I'm a gay-identified poet who's had relationships in the past with women?). Of course it's not all great poetry. I also have a few lesbian poetry anthologies, at least one book of poetry that's fag-hag poetry written by a straight woman poet for her gay male friends; but what am I to label poetry written by gay men in which they wear a woman's persona at times?
Is there in fact a useful overarching label? "Queer" or "LGBT" or "homoerotic" might be the best one can do.
Compiling a list of poems from my library, following any of these criteria, even the simplest and most exclusionary criteria, would take me simply more time than I have to offer. I am interested in the project, but I also am somewhat annoyed by it. At root of my annoyance is the question I see asked by many LGBT-identified poets, "Am a I gay writer, or am I a writer who happens to be gay?" If one were Allen Ginsberg, one would probably answer yes to the first clause; if one were May Sarton, one would most definitely answer yes to the second clause. Yet both wrote same-sex-identified poetry. So I find this entire project frustrating. It means well, but it raises more problems than it solves.
Hi Arthur,
You might go to the "Poetry Tool" referenced above and look at the category in question. It's not a list of poems by gay poets. It's a subset of "relationship" poems that are gay-themed. They are not all by gay people. Or lesbians, non-gay, etc. Anyone can write a poem about a gay relationship. The category isn't trying to ghetto-ize or un-ghetto-ize anybody. Would that it were–I'd stick my recent ex-partner in the ghetto and chop off his philandering balls. But there's also no category for "eunuchs," emotional or otherwise.
"So I find this entire project frustrating. It means well, but it raises more problems than it solves."
Yes, I must agree.
Gay and straight are exactly the same. All gender issues (normative or not) are ruled by gender difference, whether it is the excitement a man feels for a woman, or the excitement a woman feels for a man, or, a woman (lesbian) excited by the male quality within her, or the man (gay) excited by the female quality within him. If a man (gay) is excited by the beauty of men, he is excluding the female (seeing the beauty of the female as it already exists in the male) or, if a woman (lesbian) is excited by the beauty of women, she is excluding the male (seeing the beauty of the male already existing in the female); gender exclusion is occurring, which still resides in the domain of gender difference. There is no combination which does fall under the rubric, gender difference. There are a greater number of heterosexuals simply because gender difference is more prominently and obviously expressed and celebrated heterosexually. Gays are rarer and more socially sly and subtle, and thus generally more intelligent, but this does not change the fact all partake of gender difference universally.
The following poem demonstrates a reifying "subversion" which illustrates the philosophy articulated above.
Is This Normal?
To want you for your lips
Because your lips are large,
To want you for your face,
So beautiful, you seem naked,
Trammeled by disgrace,
Not from my lust, hidden
By social fear, secretly slaked–
No, because your beautiful face comes to me, unbidden?
To want you for your sighs,
Which say more than words?
To want you for your eyes
Which triumph over words?
Is it normal to feel wordlessly
Lewd? To know what is impossible to say?
Impossible tomorrow! Impossible today!
Is it normal for a poem to say this perfectly?
We tend to simplify the gay issue in areas where we should be more sublte, and over-analyze the issue in areas where we should be more direct. But of course this is not surprising when we are dealing with an issue which has much to do with social slyness on one hand and human rights on the other.
You all raise important points. I'm torn about this more than you can imagine, which is exactly why I decided to start the dialogue.
We are always acquiring more gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer love poetry and will spend time deciding how best to label it, but I want to start by making sure we've identified the poems in our existing archive that address, describe, and embody this love as such. This means, literally, checking a box that includes it in what is now known as the "gay relationships" list. Right now there are only 33 poems in the category. Of the 1,300 poems about love and desire, I'm guessing there are more than 33 that aren't "straight". I guess I was asking for help in identifying the missing ones because sometimes, as Thomas Brady implies, it's hard to tell.
About the labeling: The Poetry Tool is by nature a pretty rudimentary tool. Heterosexual relationship poems are culled in a category called "men & women". You might argue that we should replace the "gay relationships" category with "men & men" and "women & women", but that begs the binary-gender question.
Plus which, there's one thing that's useful about the term "gay"–it's search-engine friendly. In other words, if there's a gay or lesbian person out there looking for poems that might describe his or her experience, s/he can Google "gay poems" and find us, right there on the first page. I think that's the point DA Powell is trying to make. But I agree that the term "gay" has often effaced lesbian and bisexual identities.
I hope this discussion continues.
Thanks for input,

Canada has options if U.S. fails to avert 'fiscal cliff'
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada will fall into recession if Washington does not reach a deal by year-end to avert the so-called fiscal cliff, but the Canadian government and central bank could provide extra stimulus if necessary, policymakers said on Wednesday.
Unless the White House and Congress agree on how to cut the U.S. budget deficit, a $600 billion package of tax increases and spending cuts kicks in automatically at the end of 2012 and would threaten U.S. economic growth.
"Were the entire fiscal cliff risk to become reality, the effect on U.S. GDP, according to the Americans themselves, would be 4 to 5 percent, which would put the U.S. economy into recession quite quickly and the Canadian would follow shortly thereafter," Finance Minister Jim Flaherty told reporters in Ottawa.
Flaherty later told a parliamentary committee that the Conservative government would inject money into the economy as it did during the 2008-09 downturn.
"We will take steps to stimulate the economy," Flaherty told lawmakers. "We're not going to stand by and have the Canadian economy slip deeply into recession.
Canada's economy recovered from the global recession faster than that of the United States, but it remains heavily reliant on trade with its neighbor, which buys three-quarters of its exports.
Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney said policymakers would have several options to protect Canada from fiscal calamity south of the border.
"We can provide stimulus on the monetary side, the government could take measures, other things could happen, but we don't need to do that in anticipation of the Americans not coming to an agreement, an agreement that is in their own interest," Carney told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in an interview.
Carney said President Barack Obama has a "strong mandate" to engage his opponents on the fiscal cliff issue, helped by the Democrats holding onto a majority in the Senate. Continued...

The exposures of the cash for questions racket, the arms to Iraq scandal, of Jonathan Aitken's duplicities, Derek "Dolly" Draper's cash for ministerial access sales pitch, and other abuses of political power, were not a consequence of parliamentary watchdogs but of investigative journalists.
The task of the media in a democracy is not to ease the path of those who govern, but to make life difficult for them by constant vigilance as to how they exercise the power they only hold in trust from the people. What they do in bed, as long as it is with a consenting adult, is of no concern of ours. What they do out of bed, and the way they conduct the business of government, is very much our business. It is in the public interest to know what our governors are up to. If they are up to doing good, then they are only too happy to let us know. When they are up to no good, they want that kept secret. If anything, in this country, we suffer, not from too much investigative journalism, but from too little.
When it does hit home the journalists involved are assailed by the very career politicians that might be exposed by the revelations.
Some weeks ago, stories began to filter around Scotland that a lobby firm was touting for business on the grounds that it could arrange access to ministers in the Scottish executive. For cash of course. Lobbying, after all, is a hard-nosed business, not a philanthropic institution. This lot were boasting about their connections. Some journalists working for the Observer decided to test the water. It was no good going as journalists and asking the lobbyists to spill the beans about their connections. They would immediately have clammed up. Instead one posed as an American businessman. A meeting was arranged with the lobbying company. The journalists secretly arranged to film and record the proceedings. Duplicitous? No. A legitimate ploy to expose questionable behaviour that could not otherwise be exposed. The individual has no right of privacy if he or she is peddling privileged access to government ministers. And this in the very infancy of Scotland's parliament.
I have seen the full text of what transpired at this meeting. It was delivered yesterday morning to the Scottish parliament's standards committee and is now on public record. The lobby firm has unreservedly apologised to Scotland's parliament, which, in itself speaks volumes. Yet one UK government minister is calling the journalists involved "despicable". If what they have exposed is true it is the lobbyists and the politicians involved who merit that epithet.
The picture shown is one of arrogance and of a political culture that at best is unhealthy and sleazy but also carries the seeds of a more serious contamination. Let me give you an example: Jack McConnell was secretary of the Scottish Labour party. He resigned that post and did so with the assurance that he was more or less assured of getting a safe Labour seat in the Scottish parliament. Such things, as you know, can now be arranged in the New Labour party. He immediately took an interim job with Beattie Media with the responsibility of setting up its lobbying wing.
At the time I warned in print that this violated the spirit if not the letter of the Nolan Committee's findings concerning the conduct of MPs at Westminster. It was wrong, in my opinion, for anyone to set up a company to lobby a parliament of which he would be a member and most probably a minister in the executive of that parliament, that was also certain to be controlled by the party of which he was secretary only a short time ago.
The Labour party endorsed this bizarre career project by its silence. New Labour seems to think it can do anything in Scotland and get away with it. It is this kind of arrogance in power that invariably leads to the corruption both of ideals and personal integrity. If we don't watch out, Scotland's parliament will become a new centre of that arrogance, and the inevitable corruption that flows from it.
Here is an extract from the soundtrack of that meeting between Beattie Media representatives and a journalist posing as an American business man. BMR: "Prior to the election, we appointed Jack McConnell who was previously general secretary of the Labour party in Scotland to head up our public affairs consultancy, in the certain knowledge that Jack would get a safe seat from the Labour party, and in the hope and expectation that Jack would also get a cabinet position within the new administration." The journalist posing as a businessman asks: "To what extent can you retain contact with him?" BMR: "Well, to give you an idea, one of the girls who worked with us at the same time as Jack is now working as Jack's PA. And..." Journalist: "Sorry, let's get this straight in my mind, so she was working for him when he was with you?" BMR: "Exactly, she previously worked with us, we took on Jack, she was appointed to his PA within public affairs, and we saw the merit of her going to join Jack to work in his office."
I bet they did. Beattie's man goes on to tell how they are in "regular contact" with the minister. The PA, Christina Marshall, is the daughter of a Scottish Labour MP. The man who replaced McConnell at Beattie Media is the son of John Reid, the Scottish secretary. He was at the meeting and boasted freely of his contacts and family connections.
All this prompted me to make a few inquiries of my own. Malcolm Robertson, son of (Lord) George of Nato and Kosovo, was employed by Beattie Media. He now has the job of parliamentary officer for the Scottish Airports Authority. Jamie Maxton, son of John Maxton, Labour MP for Cathcart, Glasgow, worked for the Labour party in Scotland. He is now parliamentary officer for Scottish Power. Beattie Media and the Scottish parliament, it would seem, are highly effective job centres for the sons and daughters of Labour politicians. Do such offspring have an as yet indiscernible genetic advantage over the sons and daughters of other parents? Or is the parliament, in which we Scots have invested such hope, simply to be another gravy train for the well connected? The grave danger is that Scotland's parliament will be drowned in a sea of cynicism even before it gets off the ground.
Jimmy Reid was leader of the shop stewards in the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders dispute of 1971; he is now a writer and broadcaster.

(Lycaeides melissa samuelis)
(Lupinus perennis)
Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
The Karner Blue Butterfly is an endangered species native to the Great Lakes region of
the United States. It can be found in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore in northwestern
Indiana, and also occurs in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire and New York.
Its life history is dependent on the wild lupine plant (Lupinus perennis ) (Figs. 7,
8, & 9), a wildflower whose preferred habitat is the dry soils of open pine and oak
savanna that can be found in the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore (Figs. 1, 2, & 3).
The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is an
outdoor laboratory for the study of plant succession. Made famous in the early 1900s
by the studies of Henry Chandler Cowles, this area is unique for its unlikely mixture of
plants. Prickly pear cactus can be found growing with arctic bearberry. Jack pines from
the north grow in proximity to southern dogwoods.
Figure 1 - Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore
Figure 2 - Oak Savanna Habitat
When plants grow on a site, they change it,
making way for the next assemblage of species. The entire progression of ecological
succession from bare sand to mature forest can be observed at the Indiana Dunes as one
moves inland from Lake Michigan.
Jack pines and black oaks grow on the sandy
dunes. Interdune areas consist of ponds, marshes, and sphagnum bogs with sugar maple and
red oak in the moist ravines.
Field research continues at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore to learn more about this
important ecological area and to develop conservation and management plans for the species
that occur here.
Figure 3 - Field Research Station
Figure 4 - Karner Blue Butterfly
Reproductive Behavior: The life cycle of the
endangered Karner Blue Butterfly is dependent on the wild lupine plant (Figs. 7, 8, &
9). Two generations of this butterfly occur each year. The first hatch occurs in late
April from eggs laid the previous year, and the second hatch from eggs laid early in the
summer season.
This small butterfly with a wingspan of about
1 inch is sexually dimorphic. Viewed from above, males differ from females, but on the
underside, both sexes show a continuous band of orange crescents along the edges of both
wings and scattered black spots circled with white.
Figure 5 - Karner Blue Butterfly
Figure 6 - Karner Blue Butterfly
Adult Karner Blues feed on the nectar of
flowering plants, but the caterpillars of the Karner Blue feed only on the leaves of the
wild lupine.
The wild lupine prefers dry soils in open
woods and clearings such as pine and oak savannas and barrens. Because the Karner Blue
depends on wild lupine, Federal recovery plans for the Karner Blue Butterfly include
protection and management of wild lupine habitat.
Figure 7 - Wild Lupine Habitat
Figure 8 - Wild Lupine Inflorescence
The wild lupine has blue pea-like flowers.
Habitat loss due to land development and the lack of fire and grazing that prevents forest
encroachment in its preferred open savanna habitat continues to threaten the wild lupine.
Wild lupine leaves (lower left) are palmate
and radiate into 7 to 9 segments. Note the pea-like seed pods.
Figure 9 - Wild lupine Seed Pods
Habitat loss and butterfly collectors continue to threaten populations of the Karner
Blue Butterfly. Collection is illegal without a permit from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
If you would like to learn more about endangered species and what you can do to protect
them, please contact the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service (see links

How's the foetus during week 27?
Audible heartbeat
Your baby is about 36.6cm from crown to heel and weighs about 875g- the size of a head of cauliflower. Your baby's heartbeat may be heard when someone puts their ear to your abdomen. The lungs and brain continue to grow rapidly.Eyelids begin to open and the retinas begin to form. You will start to notice that your baby has regular patterns of sleep and activity. What's with my body: You may feel shortness of breath
Your uterus has moved under your rib cage making it difficult for your lungs to expand leaving you feeling short of breath. Start doing pelvic floor exercises by tilting your pelvic and tightening and relaxing the muscles you use to control your pee.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
When Tyrell were in there final years i worked with them to get the last races complete. Then i went to Ledbury to work for a company called Eurpean formula racing. They managed the Arows 2 seater experience. In 2001 i think they bought out minardi and I moved to Jordan for 3 months. I was a contractor so never spent long in any one place. Had a short stint with Jaguar but left the racing teams to pursue more stable work. Fabricator is not the high glam that F1 conjures up, in fact you are considered the necessary dinosaur, if you want the glamor you need to be either a driver or in the pre-preg lamination department.
This will be the first boat this small that i have built. I worked in Holland on the Disney Liner which at the time was the largest in the world but i think it has been surpassed a couple of times. I have put Oil rigs together and inspected them for surveyors to sign off. But never a boat this size. The strange thing is it is the fitting out that daunts me the most.
I look forward to posting developments and hopefully some photos, but it may be a while yet.
Hi! New here myself. Good luck with building that boat, I will be watching for posts about it. Have you built any boats that size before?
I am an F1 fan too.. what cars have you worked on?
Captain Fred
Thanks guys.
Thats a good insight with that web site. Especially as they were only 2hrs down the road from me. I have dropped them a mail and will see if i get anything back.
dream it
Atta boy! Dream the dream then live it. God bless and happy new year! Andre Venables
Happy New year Matt,
Here is a website from a pair of your fellow Kiwis who are living your dream. Long White Cloud
I met Stephen and Paula Pepperell in the fall of 2008 when they gave a slide show at Barrington Yacht Club (Rhode Island, USA) covering the construction of their dream yacht and first half of their voyage. They are currently in Florida on their return trip to New Zealand. You can follow their progress on their sailblog and keep inspired.
Best Luck!
Oh no not another one!!
Well i don't normally do these introduction forum messages but here goes.
I am in the 30ish year old bracket and i have come to be connected with this site through researching my biggest project (next to starting a family).
I am going to build a boat. It will be in the size region of 65'. I intend to retire on it and see bits of the world that i have so far missed and will miss by building a boat. I am competent crewman trained which i did with the army some time ago. It is not so much the sailing i want but the sailing of my creation that I'm after.
My background to this project is that i have my own small engineering firm and have been a coded welder for the past 18-20 years. I have built a great number of things from F1 cars in the UK to oil rigs in Dubai. I am now well settled in New Zealand where i am bringing up my family.
I am under no illusions and am aware that for every success story there is hundreds of failures. The things i need to get sorted and that i am spending the most time on are PLANS. I have done as much research as i can through the net on trying to buy ready made plans (just add money) to chartering my own designer and getting custom build drawings. As i have said the hull is not my fear factor. I will be building from either alloy or steel, still to decide. Have heard fores and against for both.
Well i think thats enough of an introduction for now. If anyone thinks there are some good threads to read or links to look at feel free to drop me a line. Please not all doom and gloom.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year

Bacary Sagna will glean some positives from Arsenal's season - even if it's hard to escape the doom and gloom at the moment.
Emphatic home defeats against Manchester United and Chelsea ended Arsenal's quests for the Champions League trophy and a top-three finish in the Premier League. Their FA Cup hopes were also extinguished by Chelsea last month.
A season's climax which promised so much has delivered so little but Sagna believes Arsenal have proved some critics wrong with their recovery from a slow start to the campaign. At one point a top-four place looked beyond the Gunners but, ultimately, they secured that goal with room to spare.
"I just want to say that up to now we have played well," Sagna told the Official Matchday Programme.
"Even if people wanted us to waver at the beginning of the season, we have showed good character to come back after a bad run and qualify for at least the qualifying stages of next season's Champions League.
"We were a long way off fourth place at one point and we responded. We have to look forward because the team is young and we need to stay strong together."

Definition Of "Business Day"
In sales consummated at locations other than the address of the seller, "door to door" sales, the buyer has a right of cancellation under Mass. Gen. Laws chapter 255D, section 14. The buyer has until midnight of the third business day following the execution of the agreement to notify the seller of the cancellation. M.G.L. ch. 255D does not define "business day;" neither does Mass. Gen. Laws chapter 93, section 48, which governs general regulation of trade area, nor is "business day" on the list of defined statutory terms at Mass. Gen. Laws chapter 4, section 7. Regulations governing the disclosure of consumer credit costs and terms, so-called "truth-in-lending" regulations, 209 CMR 32.00 et seq. define "business day" as "a day on which a creditor's offices are open to the public for carrying on substantially all of its business functions." The regulation's definition for purposes of rescission, in 209 CMR 32.02, is "all calendar days except Sundays and legal federal public holidays and any legal holiday under the laws of the Commonwealth." A right of cancellation is analogous to the right of rescission in the context of Truth-in-Lending.
Additionally, the federal regulation known as the "Cooling-Off Period" Rule, in 16 CFR Part 429, defines "business day" as "any calendar day except Sunday or any federal holiday." It is the Division's position that a right of cancellation is analogous to a right of rescission. For consistency with the comparable provision in the federal "Cooling-Off Period" Rule, a business day, as referred to in the chapter 255D right of cancellation provision, includes: all calendar days except Sundays; the legal federal holidays as specified in 5 USC 6103(a); and any legal holiday under the laws of the Commonwealth.

Ah I hear your frustration! I had a bit of a bumpy start myself. Old habits die hard! It took a little bit of experimentation with different cg-friendly products to find the right combination for my scalp and my hair. Now that I've hit on it, it is so awesome! My hair routine is super quick and easy, and I really love how my hair is now. I'm lucky enough to get compliments too but really what matters is how
feel about it
I'm not going to lie, it took a couple of months for my hair to get soft, fully rehydrated, and get a nice curl pattern (and that's not counting the time it took to find the right products). However, that time really paid off. I hope you are able to find the same results, and quicker than I did!

Help with shelves to put media equipment
So I was planning on making two shelves that fit between the studs on under my 60'' LED tv. I wanted them recessed into the wall and have all the wires hidden. But today while I was measuring for my plans my surround sound receiver wont fit if I make the shelves to fit into the wall between the studs. The wall is also a load bearing wall, so for me to cut out a stud and reinforce it is to much work. So now I need to come up with a different way to hold the receiver and PS3. I really would have liked the look of having the tv on the wall and the stuff in the wall and not seeing any wires running to and from the tv. Anyone got any ideas that might help me out?
Nope, unless you properly frame out the opening you're not going to get what you're after. The idea is a header catches the load from the top part of what you remove and transfers it out to the ends and down the beefed up studs. No real way to get around what it requires.
That said you could always do something like create a floating shelf/box and put the gear in it. And then hide the cabling up to the TV inside the wall. They sell kits to do this. The important thing to note is you cannot just run the AC power cord down inside the wall cavity. You either put a new AC box up behind the TV or you get an in-wall extender that does it. The video and audio cables can go straight through without connectors.
How about just hiding the Receiver and PS3 in a Closet, then running a Dinky Link Remote Eye to it?
Of course, you need to be able to run one HDMI Cable and one Cat5 Cable to the TV.
Picture of the Room?
I did this one here for a Customer:
The Receiver, Cable-Box etc. are behind the Mirror-Door inside a Closet.
Just thought I would update this, I decided to build a floating shelf that turned out pretty nice. I will post pictures when I get home from work tonight. Thanks for the help!

I would, Jim, but then I'd have to go to a country that has no rule of law, no effective government at any level, and no public sanitation infrastructure. The odds for any right-thinking person getting out alive are terrible. Besides, they harvest rabbit turds and worship jets' vapor trails. It's not as colorful as it sounds. Oh, and it's home base for the "religion" that has won the Completely Cretinous Boneheaded Religion Award (and the competition is obviously intense)30 years in a row, Rastafarianism. So, Jim, no, I just can't do it. But don't forget Jim, I'll always think of you as a "deekhaid," as the New Zealanders like to say.

I thought my fave was "guregnoch warlords" (see above, number 47) until right after that came "black diqala menlik," which sounds like a horrid hemorrhagic disease you get when you eat raw monkey testicles. Wrong! Mere words later comes "azeb the mother of corruption"! Somebody's been reading too many scifi comix! Number 46 definitely has some contenders: "chigaram agame" and the robust if obscure obscenity "saltan wesha." They're delicious. But number 47 takes the day both with quantity (3)and musicality, and we'd all like to thank you, Number 47, for making our day just that much better. As the Ark of the Covenant -- c'mon, what kind of preposterous "religion" is based on a contract, especially one more observed in the breach by both humans and comic-book supreme beings. Oh yes, the religions of the Jews and the Moslems and the Christians. Anybody who believes that crap has some seriously miswired brain cells. Anyone who fights or dies because of that crap has wasted his or her life utterly. I especially like the the 20 or 70 or whatever beautiful virgins that await each martyr in heaven! Now that's something to believe in! But die for? Only in the comix.

Opening arguments are planned for Friday morning in Schuyler County court in the murder trial of Alice Trappler.
The Steuben County woman faces numerous charges, including second degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Trappler is accused of arraigning the killing of her ex-boyfriend and father of her child, Daniel Bennett in the town of Dix last April. Investigators say the shooter was Trappler's ex-husband, 32-year-old Corning man Thomas Borden.
Twenty-five-year-old Corning resident Nathan Hand, Borden's stepbrother, participated in the killing and will testify against Trappler in exchange for a 19-year prison sentence.
Borden was killed days after Bennett's death when he jumped in front of a commuter train near Philadelphia as police moved in to apprehend him. Jury selection was completed in two days.

Kevin Shaner has joined Middleburg Bank as Senior Vice President, Commercial Relationship Manager and Community Executive.
MIDDLEBURG, Va. – April 25, 2011 – Middleburg Bank, a wholly owned subsidiary of Middleburg Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: MBRG) announced today that Kevin Shaner has joined the Bank as Senior Vice President, Commercial Relationship Manager and Community Executive. In this role, Mr. Shaner will oversee all aspects of the Company's business in the Ashburn and Reston markets.
Mr. Shaner brings a wealth of experience to the role, with nearly 20 years of experience in financial services. Most recently, he was at Citibank where he led the SBA sales effort for 42 bankers in the Atlantic Region. Prior to Citibank, Mr. Shaner worked for Merrill Lynch, BB&T, Bank of America and Wells Fargo. He has worked in Commercial Banking, Corporate Banking, Credit and Investments.
