Brown's Jasinowski Earns Academic All-America Honors
Wednesday, November 25, 2009

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Brown senior right tackle Paul Jasinowski has been named second-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
A mainstay of the Brown offensive line for the last three seasons, Jasinowski is a three-time All-Ivy selection, earning first team All-Ivy honors in 2008 and 2009. In 2009, he helped Brown to a third place finish in the Ivy standings with the Ivy League's number one offense (396.6 yards of total offense) and passing offense (290.9 yards per game), while the Bears were second in scoring with 24.1 points per game.
Jasinowski was named to prestigious National Football Foundation 2009 National Scholar-Athlete class, and is one of 16 finalists who will vie for the William V. Campbell Trophy. As a finalist, Jasinoswki earns an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and will be honored at the NFF Annual Awards Dinner on December 8, 2009 at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, where the Campbell Trophy winner will be announced. Jasinowski is the sixth Brown player to win a NFF Scholar-Athlete Award.
In the classroom, Jasinowski has posted 3.70 GPA, with a double major in Economics and Urban Studies. He plans to pursue an MBA.
For three years, Jasinowski has been a coordinator and leader of a weekly volunteer group for special needs students at Fox Point Elementary School. In 2008, he was awarded the Chris Perry Community Service Award, given to a Brown football player who is the most involved in the community and exhibits the qualities of "scholarship, leadership and concern for others". He also co-coordinated a fundraiser event to benefit the fight against cancer called Bench Press for Cancer.

That's the title of Jonathan Adler's insightful post over at the Volokh Conspiracy. It begins this way: Greg Sargent is one of many commentators wondering "How did legal observers and Obamacare backers get it so wrong?" I think he's asking the wrong question. A better question to ask is: why did so many expect legal elites to have any particular insight into the current court? After all, many of the legal experts who were so dismissive of the arguments against the mandate were equally dismiss … [Read more...]

Some expelled gays want to re-enlist in military
By Chris Michaud and Aman Ali
NEW YORK (Reuters Life!) - Some plan to re-enlist. Others want to turn to the fight for same-sex marriage. Still more will celebrate a triumph of civil rights.
But for many of those kicked out of the U.S. military for serving while openly gay or being "outted" as gay, Wednesday's repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy means more than a political victory. They say it will strengthen the armed forces.
The policy led to more than 13,000 discharges since it was instituted 17 years ago, including 59 Arabic and nine Farsi linguists the Pentagon fired between 2003 to 2008 while the U.S. fought wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to the Service Members Legal Defense Network.
"A house divided against itself was what we were living under. There's really only one enemy, and that's the one we're fighting against -- not each other," said Jonathan Hopkins, who was discharged from the Army in August after serving nine years.
Hopkins, 32, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where cadets live by an honor code: "A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do."
After President Barack Obama signed the law in Wednesday's ceremony, he and others kicked out of the service are celebrating an end to the lying, especially in cases where soldiers could not fully grieve the death of lovers killed in battle.
"I didn't have relationships of consequence, I was so paranoid. Then when I was outted, everyone said we already figured you were gay anyway, and everyone told me it didn't matter, you were the best commander we ever had," Hopkins said.
Former Army Lt. Dan Choi, 29, was an Arabic linguist, and he was discharged last year after coming out during a television interview. Wednesday he planned to meet with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to retrieve his West Point graduation ring. Continued...

Abacos Info...
Suggest using the Explorer Chart Books for the Abacos as they are the most detailed and current...way better than the Maptech. You can get just about anything you need in Marsh Harbor so you''ll have no real provisioning concerns. I do suggest that you bring as many engine and critical parts spares as possible as such stuff is quite expensive to get shipped in there and it takes a while. Of course you''ll need the $300 fee for entry...bummer. But the water is gorgeous and the people are friendly and there is a great cruising community there...lobster season ends april 1st so you might want to arrive a few days earlier! <grin>
Have fun...BigGB

Hi everyone. We''re taking our Island Packet 40'' to the Abacos in April for the first time.

The Beaufort Wind Force Scale In Britain and much of Europe, wind and vessel speeds are
described in knots. One knot equals a nautical mile covered in one hour, and is roughly equivalent to 1.15mph. Also used is the Beaufort Wind Force Scale. This was created in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort, a British naval officer and hydrographer, before instruments were available and has since been adapted for non-naval use. When accurate wind measuring instruments became available it was decided to retain the scale and this accounts for the idiosyncratic speeds, eg Force 5 is 17–21 knots, not 15–20 as one might expect. Under numbered headings representing wind force, this scale also provides the sea conditions typically associated with them, although these can be affected by the direction from which the wind is coming. The scale is reproduced on the opposite page.

About Voyager Voyager is a heavy cruising catamaran that was built by Solaris
Yachts at Southampton. They built strong, comfortable boats but ceased trading after a disastrous fire spread from a neighbouring yard. Voyager is their Sunstream model, 40 ft long by 16 ft wide with twin 27hp diesel engines. She is a typical British catamaran in that she has a small mainsail and a large genoa which is her main source of power. She is cutter rigged and therefore has a small staysail. Her two hulls are connected by a bridge deck with a cabin on it which provides the main living area, or saloon. It contains a large sofa, a coffee table, a dining table and a chart table. Opposite the chart table, and overlooking the galley, the starboard dining seating quickly converts to a breakfast bar which also makes an ideal dining area for any meal on a bouncy sea as there is less potential for loose objects to move about. From the saloon, you enter the starboard or right-hand hull down three steps. Immediately in front of you is the galley. Turn right and there is an additional food preparation area, storage for cutlery and crockery and a large chest freezer. In the stern is a double bunk, a wardrobe, dressing table and clothing cupboards. Underneath the bunk is one of Voyager's engines. At the bow end of this hull there is a head containing a toilet, wash basin and a bath. The port hull contains in its stern an identical suite to the one in the starboard hull plus a shower, toilet and vanity. There is a further cabin in the bow of this hull but for the voyage we converted it into a storage space with a small workbench and vice. Out on deck Voyager has a deep, well protected cockpit and all her sails can be handled from within it.

Prelude 'Life,' somebody once said, 'is not a rehearsal.'
The more this saying was repeated over the years, the more irritating I found it. But I think there must come a point where you reach the same stage in life as the person who originally coined it, because David started buying yachting magazines. Those who know about mid-life crises will tell you that, in a long-term relationship, a fundamental indicator that a man has a new love in his life is when he suddenly begins buying himself new underwear. So I entirely failed to recognise the importance of yachting magazines in regard to my own future. I just fancied living somewhere a bit warmer and less stressful. Like Cornwall. To cut a long story short, the year prior to the events in this book we had embarked on a new life on a 40-foot catamaran called Voyager – as told in my previous book, Dolphins Under My Bed. As unseasoned sailors, the short-term plan had been to head for the Mediterranean and see how we got on. If all went well, the long-term plan was to cruise the Caribbean. By November we had reached Menorca in the Balearic Islands and settled Voyager into a delightful berth at its capital, Mahon, ready to enjoy our first warm Mediterranean winter. The sale of our house back in England was being complicated by the fact that Britain was in economic recession and the housing market had collapsed. It also meant confronting the disposal of a lot of very personal possessions. But when was doing anything important in life ever easy? House or no house we were going to spend the summer sailing around some of the Mediterranean's most beautiful islands.

1 Selling Up It is only when you come to sell up your home that you truly understand the nature of consumerism. It means that while you pay through the nose for your goods and chattels, when you come to sell them a dealer will offer next to nothing for the entire houseful. We cannot give electrical goods to charity shops because it costs them too much to get them certified safe before they can risk re-selling them to their customers. Nor can they accept upholstered furniture beyond a certain age because of new Health & Safety regulations regarding fire hazard. Putting everything into store is not a viable option either, since over a period of time you will pay in storage fees and insurance charges many times their replacement value. And, when you do finally get them back, your sofa will look shabbier than you remembered and nobody will carry spare parts for your electrical goods any more. We decide, therefore, to store only those things which really mean something to us. That means certain pieces of furniture and personal items. The furniture isn't a problem; a desk each, a dining set, a chest of drawers and Grandma's old dresser. Things like beds, bedroom furniture, lounge suites and bookcases are best replaced when the time comes. Some personal effects are equally easy to decide on. The easiest of all are the photo albums. Photographs are your life in pictures: snapshots of moments in time; special places; people and animals you love; and your own face looking back at you, like Rembrandt's self-portraits with their silent questions about life, happiness, mutability and mortality. One couple who came to view our house had put all their possessions in store and the storage facility had burnt down. They were fully reimbursed by the insurance company but said that some things were irreplaceable, particularly photographs of family and friends, their life together and

Selling Up
especially the children growing up. With their experience in mind, we decide we will still put our albums into store with our other belongings, but leave the negatives with David's brother Tony, just in case. With the essentials decided on, there remains a huge balance to be disposed of which presents a very great difficulty. Not for David, of course. When we married his belongings barely filled a small suitcase and more than three decades later there is not much more that he wants to keep. But for me it is a task bordering on the Herculean. Where do I start? With the genes, I'm afraid, for I am the child of an Olympic-standard hoarder. My Mum filled the family home to capacity. Open a drawer and you skinned your knuckles trying to flatten the contents sufficiently to close it again. Open a cupboard and everything toppled forward to meet you. Even the clothes in her wardrobe had to be shoulder-charged to get the door shut. As a newly-wed I swore I would never let my own home get the same. When my mother died aged 85 the house was filled to the rafters. I still have thirty years to go but my own house is already as full, including many of my parents' things because when the time came I simply could not bring myself to dispose of them. Not always because I liked them, but because they had. And because many of them had been part of my life since my eyes first began to focus. By nature, nurture and natural inclination, then, I am a hoarder. My problem now falls into two basic categories. These can most usefully be labelled Me and Significant Others. With regard to the former, it feels as if it is me that is being disposed of; as if the house is being emptied because I have died. This is, after all, something other people usually do for you after you've gone. And being still alive, in a culture where an individual is defined largely by possessions, there is a sense in which I will cease to exist without them. Our cupboards and wardrobes contain the history of my life in things.

The ice skates, bronze medal in ballroom dancing, tennis racket – and the ancient, bulky transistor radio on which I listened to Radio Luxemburg every night under the bedclothes so that my parents wouldn't hear – are from my teenage years. The crash helmet, horse riding gear, walking boots, the bicycle and the camping equipment all chart our early marriage, along with remnants of our first dinner service – and our second, for after 34 years we are on our third. Both the earlier sets had come with promises that you would be able to buy additions and replacements in perpetuity; but one disappeared off the market soon after we bought the basics and the other changed colour so dramatically that there was no point anyway. There is a book of English madrigals from a summer school; a metronome, all that remains of my attempt at learning classical guitar; a notebook of alphabet music for playing steel pans that immediately brings to mind the sheer joy of making music with other people without worrying about musical theory. There are dressmaking patterns, corn dollies, theatre programmes, old letters and greeting cards, pictures we don't hang any more but which witnessed such happy times, and two cardboard suitcases we bought in a department store in 1964, as indigent newly-married 20-year-olds, to carry our worldly goods to Australia on our first big adventure together and now, 34 years later, we have embarked on another. The second area of difficulty is all those things which, by gift or inheritance, have come from people who have been important in my life. These things I can't even begin to think about. I therefore decide to start with the easiest. The wardrobes.

2 Setting Out The previous summer David and I had set off from
England in our 40-foot catamaran, Voyager. The plan was to sail her to the Mediterranean for the winter and then, depending how we got on, to head for the Caribbean the following year. The hope was that a warmer, drier climate would improve our health and quality of life. Our bid to achieve this major life-change via a boat took family and friends by surprise since none of them sailed and, until quite recently, neither had we. A number of factors were involved in the decision. In particular, despite our desperate need to escape from northern cold and damp, neither of us has the right kind of skin for prolonged exposure to the sun. At the same time, we wanted to be physically active in the open air, since much of our working life had been spent sitting in offices and cars. Somewhere in the equation had been David's late-flowering interest in sailing, and a particularly rainsodden Sunday when he had said bleakly, 'I want another adventure before I die,' which was the closest I ever heard him get to a mid-life crisis. And whilst we loved visiting foreign places, there is little pleasure to be had in budget air travel and hotels. A boat enabled us to travel independently, be physically active out of doors and take our home comforts and all necessary shade with us. The route we had chosen was down the Atlantic coasts of France, Spain and Portugal. However, given the dangers from autumn gales along this coastline we had been eager to have our boat safely in the Mediterranean by the end of September. Despite our departure having to be delayed until August, after David was hospitalised, we nevertheless achieved our goal. By the beginning of November – fitter and more relaxed than we had been in many years – we were happily berthed in the idyllic harbour of Mahon, capital of the beautiful Balearic

Turtles in Our Wake
island of Menorca. The only cloud on our horizon since setting out had been our house back in England. Unwaged and pre-pension, we could not afford to go blue water cruising and keep the house, which had been up for sale since early spring. In the past, whenever we had needed to sell a house, the market in our area of the country had invariably gone into a long decline. Now was no exception. But at the end of October we had received an offer. Not a good one, but the fact that it was a cash offer was an incentive to accept it. A man and a woman, both divorced and with two children each, had formed a new family. Both had had homes up for sale, but the man's had now been sold and contracts were about to be exchanged on the woman's. They also wanted to move into our house in time for Christmas which was just two months away. Combined with a cash offer, the speed of completion persuaded us to accept the rather disappointing purchase price because it meant that in only a few weeks' time we should be relieved of the burden of household heating and maintenance costs, insurance premiums, utility bills and council taxes, all of which were currently a large drain on our limited resources. And of course the purchase money, once invested, would give us an income to live on. In the meantime we had found a safe berth for Voyager for the short time we should be away. It also happened to be on the delightful waterfront of a charming town on a beautiful island. And although the tourists had all gone for the winter and the yachts in the harbour all lay empty, the sun still shone, the sky was bright blue and summer flowers continued to bloom. So, there we were, with this little piece of earthly paradise all to ourselves and every expectation of a quick house sale. All we needed now was for our purchasers to get a survey done and sign a contract of sale. Then we should take a short flight back to England, exchange contracts, empty the house, hand over the keys and catch a flight back to Menorca for a warm Christmas and a nice bit of winter sailing. If only life was that simple.

3 Sorting Out There are clothes I simply won't need in our new life; some I haven't worn in years anyway. I spread the contents of a wardrobe over the bed. The problem is that they aren't just clothes. They are tangible memories of a past that can never be repeated: special occasions, family weddings, anniversaries; clothes I have adored, clothes I have put a huge effort into making and woollens my mother knitted with love. And then there are the shoes, of course. I mull over it all for an hour and then put everything back into the wardrobe again, grateful that it is time to go and cook dinner and I can put off any decisions for another day. After a second abortive attempt I give up wardrobes and empty a cupboard instead, expecting that this will be easier. I take out the contents and spread them around the floor until there is only room to tiptoe delicately between them with the precision of a performer in a Japanese Noh play. I pick up the items one-by-one. This is from my earliest childhood; this was given to me by an incredibly kind neighbour. This was my Dad's, my Mum's, my grandparents'; these were gifts from family, friends, a teacher, and David's lovely, giggly little Grandma. David brought this home when we were first married; this was my coming-of-age present from my parents; here are the 78rpm records my Dad used to play and my drawing exercises from night school. And over there is the brass bowl that resulted from the metalwork option at day-continuation college during my first year at work. Looking at it I can still smell the metal filings, hot from the grinder. Everything I touch conjures up a loved person, a happy moment, a small achievement. Another day, another cupboard. Here are all the gadgets you buy in a lifetime, use only briefly, but never throw away because they might come in useful one day and, irrelevantly,

because of the length of time you've already held on to them and because of what they originally cost. All the things you bought when you were young in the unquestioning name of novelty; or later, tempted by promises that they would make life easier or meals tastier and healthier. And so I unwrap the electric frying pan that never did what they claimed it would, the fondue set that produced monotonous meals and singed fingers in equal proportions, and the juice extractor so cumbersome that it took longer to dismantle and clean after use than it did for somebody to grow the oranges in the first place. Then there is the mountain of tapes, set books and course notes which after seven angst-ridden, blissful, book-throwing, life-enhancing years of part-time study had resulted in an Open University degree. There are the dog leads, brushes and combs that were once the daily accompaniments of a life made joyous by two rough collies – or Lassie dogs as people called them, from those old films and television series. On our walks they got so used to the cry of 'Lassie!' from approaching strangers that they would automatically stop, wag their tails and stand to be patted. There is also the pottery collection. No holiday had ever been complete without a ceramic pot. I remember a newspaper article some years ago about a family whose mother had become one of the many people who disappear inexplicably from home every year. A married son said that she had always looked after the family very well and had seemed happy enough. She had a dresser, he said, with a row of blue china ornaments across the top and every six months she took them down, washed them, put them away and replaced them with yellow china ornaments. I look at the dusty row of brown pots along the top of my kitchen dresser and wonder where she is now and if she is happy. I abandon the cupboards and make a start on the bookcases. Feng shui warns against a full bookcase. If it is full, goes the philosophy, there is no room for anything new in your life. My bookcases are groaning. You couldn't force in even the slimmest new volume let alone a new life.

There are books from early childhood, prizes from school and night classes and ten volumes of the second-hand encyclopaedia I bought with one of my first pay packets but which were hopelessly out of date even then. There are also the books that had belonged to David's grandfather. Although he had died before David and I met, I always felt I knew him from his books. He was an active reader and the margins are full of his thoughts. Like the wardrobes and cupboards, my books chart my life history: interests, fads and pleasures plus a lifetime's craving to find answers to all those questions beginning with 'Why…' Many have not been read in years because I have been too tired at the end of a working day, and after cooking dinner have put my feet up in front of the television instead. And if truth be told I have moved on from most of my books while finding it impossible to let them go. The ones that still have something to say to me, and which I really want to read again, are already on board Voyager. At least I have plenty of time for this mooch down Memory Lane, thanks to our purchasers.

4 Lovely Mahon If, by the time we had got Voyager safely berthed, our purchasers had made arrangements for a survey to be done we should undoubtedly have taken the first available flight home and set about emptying our house. But they hadn't. Unlike the property markets in some other parts of the world, English conveyancing is untrammelled by the concept of due diligence, where the purchaser's deposit is lost if an agreed deadline is not met. In England a man's word is his bond, so the laying out of hard cash on a surveyor's report is the first concrete evidence of serious intent. In its absence, doubt had begun to emerge, and we had decided to remain where we were until a survey had been done and there was some hint of a contract about to be signed. We had chosen Mahon after consulting a list of places recommended by yachtsmen who had wintered in the Mediterranean before us. We could not have made a happier choice. At 26 miles long by 11 wide, Menorca is the secondlargest of the Balearic Islands and lies some 50 miles off Spain's southern coast. Mahon harbour is sheltered, our berth secure and our surroundings truly beautiful. An additional bonus would prove, over time, to be the marina manager, Joss. Mahon was not simply a delightful place to wait while the initial formalities of our house sale were completed. The Mediterranean climate was also having a beneficial effect on both of us and especially on David's respiratory system. Back home in England the cold and damp of winter had already settled in, while Menorca's November temperatures – comparable to an English summer – allowed us to continue sailing or to roam on foot or bicycle. The island is a place of pretty villages and lovely beaches; its capital a harmonious blend of white-walled cottages, grand mansions and small market gardens bordered by dry-stone walls with gates made from twisted olive branches. And on our rambles we could rest

under trees still heavy with ripe oranges or sit in a sunlit square with coffee and an English newspaper. Two weeks passed and our purchasers had still not arranged for a survey. For people claiming they wanted to be in before Christmas, this was troubling. Then a telephone call from the estate agent in England confirmed our suspicions. Someone had been economical with the truth. Contracts had not been in the process of being exchanged on the woman's house, as claimed when the 'cash offer' had been made on ours, for the simple reason that her ex-husband was refusing to sign the contract of sale. There would be no problem, we were assured; the house was part of the divorce settlement and if he refused the latest request to sign then a judge in the Family Court would sign on his behalf. It would take a couple of weeks, but everything would still go through in good time. This did at least explain the lack of urgency in getting a surveyor's report. In the meantime, we were enjoying Mahon. After setting sail from England we had anchored out wherever possible. And keen to reach the Mediterranean before those infamous autumn gales began lashing the Atlantic coast, we had had little time to loiter along the way. Accordingly, this was the first occasion on which we had spent any time in one place and close enough inshore to be part of a neighbourhood. Now, however, we were part of the fabric of a small stretch of Mahon harbour. Behind us on the quay were five stuccoed houses with dark green window shutters and terracotta roofs, with living quarters above and businesses or garages below. The local people, including those working on the boats along the waterfront, frequented the café at one end and bought lobster and langoustine from the seafood shop at the other. In the garages between, house owners sometimes threw impromptu children's parties on Saturdays. Each weekday, on the street outside, a man with a bin welded to the front of a tricycle gathered up the brown fallen leaves from the sycamores lining the street and took them away. While northern seaside resorts become cold and grey during autumn, here the only difference between summer and

Turtles in Our Wake
winter seemed to be that the tourists had gone home and the residents had their island to themselves for a while. Across the harbour from us lay Mahon's unexpectedly lovely naval base with its long low white buildings and manicured lawns. Every evening there, as the western sky turned red and the harbour shimmered gold, the Spanish equivalent of The Last Post echoed out across the water and the national flag was lowered. Other sounds were less mellifluous. Around midnight on our first Sunday we both shot upright in bed, eyes staring into the darkness as all the demons of hell filled the night with their abominations. We fell back against our pillows again on realising that it was just the large skip on the quay being emptied. I had woken again as it started to get light, thinking a child was crying, but then remembered that sunrise is the prime time for disputes among feral cats. The striking clock on the naval base struck two minutes before the one at the church of Santa Maria above us, and four minutes before another further up in the town. It was therefore best to be sound asleep before midnight if possible, except on Sundays when the skips were emptied and it made no difference anyway. The Christmas lights started to go up in the streets and the big supermarket across town began filling up with dolls in rich velvet dresses, festive tins of biscuits and some particularly delicious bars of chocolate which we began to sample quite heavily, especially the truffle. I suspected we were putting on weight but the bathroom scales seemed to have disappeared. I began making plans for Christmas dinner on board. The logistics of the usual roast turkey – with three different stuffings (sage and onion, chestnut and sausage), roast potatoes with three other types of vegetables and a thickened gravy, plus steamed Christmas pudding and brandy sauce – all jockeying for space among two gas rings and an oven the size of a shoebox, would need a little planning. The first agreed compromise was going to be the turkey. It would have to be a small chicken. The rest had still to be negotiated.

Lovely Mahon
In the second week of December we heard from the estate agent again. A survey had finally been done on our house. The main fault was a bit of flashing around one chimney but on the strength of it the purchasers were demanding another huge reduction in the purchase price. They would also be interested in some of our rugs and furniture. David told the agent we would get back to him. 'Well?' he said, as he hung up the phone. 'Well,' I replied, 'that amount should cover the chimney flashing, the surveyor's report, their solicitor's costs, removal expenses and even after paying us next to nothing for our rugs and furniture out of it there should still be a little something left towards a house warming party.' 'I suppose,' David said, 'that knowing our situation they think they can take us for all they can get.' It was the 'rugs and furniture' that had angered me most. I knew the two of them had been in the house a number of times to 'measure up', even before getting the survey done. It had not occurred to me, however, that they might be treating our home as some sort of bargain basement in which to pick up our best bits and pieces on the cheap. On the strength of their cash offer and short deadline we had dropped the price well below what we thought was fair, stopped cruising and hurried into a berth, only to spend the last six weeks like sitting ducks waiting to be plucked. That afternoon we climbed the hill to the travel agent. Two days later we flew home. We arrived at midnight and breakfasted late. It was cold, overcast and drizzling. The northern English sky was battleship grey and the damp palpable. I was shocked at the change in David. Already his breathing was audible and he looked exhausted. He was about to dial the estate agent's number when a key turned in the lock of the front door. It opened just as I got there. Framed in the doorway was the estate agent's assistant. Behind her were our purchasers, come to do some more measuring up. One look at my face and the estate agent's assistant asked them to wait in her car.

Turtles in Our Wake
It is good to have an opportunity to express one's feelings at full flood when you are really livid. Why develop stress-related illness when you can pass it on to the very people you are paying to save you from it in the first place? Whilst assuring the woman pressed into the corner of our sofa that none of my anger was directed at her, she was left in no doubt as to my feelings towards our purchasers, or what they could expect if they set foot in our house again before contracts had been signed. She was most understanding and drove them away. David then rang the estate agent and asked him when we could expect contracts to be signed and exchanged. There would be some delay, it now appeared, as our purchasers' purchaser had not yet completed the sale of his house due to delays caused by his purchaser. So. It never had been a cash offer in the first place, and we were now entangled in something we had drastically reduced our house price in the expectation of avoiding – a chain. The agent was asked for his assessment of the current state of the housing market. Dead about summed up his response. His view was echoed by all the other For Sale boards, creaking forlornly in the wind, which we had observed from the taxi on our way home from the airport. Despite our frustration, the sensible option in the circumstances seemed to be to continue with the purchasers we had, because purchasers at present were pretty thin on the ground. 'However,' David said, 'they can whistle for any further reduction in the price and our goods aren't up for grabs.' 'I shall tell them,' the agent had said diplomatically, 'that you do not consider the requested reduction to be justified and that your belongings will be going into store.' 'Fine,' said David. When he hung up he grinned. 'Well, there's one thing, we can have a turkey and the full works for Christmas dinner, plus central heating, unlimited use of the washing machine and the dishwasher!'

H∞ Gain Scheduling for Discrete-Time Systems with Control Delays and Time-Varying Parameters: a BMI Approach
Abdallah, Chaouki T.
Borges, Renato A.
Oliveira, Ricardo C. L. F.
Peres, Pedro L. D.
In this paper, the problem of gain scheduling for time-varying systems with time delays is investigated. By using a memory at the feedback loop, a discrete gain scheduled controller which minimizes an upper bound to the ,Hscrinfin performance of the closed loop system is determined. The design conditions, expressed in terms of bilinear matrix inequalities, are obtained from the Finsler's Lemma combined with the Lyapunov theory. The extra variables introduced by the Finsler's Lemma represent an alternative way in the search of better system behavior. The time-varying uncertainties are modeled using polytopic domains. The controller is obtained by the solution of an optimization problem formulated only in terms of the vertices of the polytope. No grids in the parametric space are used. Numerical examples illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approach.

movie trailer (apple.com - quicktime)
NOTE: This spoiler was sent in by dkviper.
The movie opens with John Connor narrarating just as Sarah Connor did in T2. He is now living "Off the Grid" meaning no one knows where he is, who he is, or how to get in contact with him. He is constantly moving around so no one can ever meet him. While narrarating we see images of the would be future of what would have come if Judgment Day wasn't averted. Nuclear explosions as well as John leading the humans to victory eventually are shown. Driving down a road on a motorcycle, John crashes due to a deer in the road and hurts his leg badly.
The scene now focuses on a mannequin window with a strong breeze growing. A quick flash and explosion of glass and a mysterious naked woman ( the TX) stands up.
Through her vision we see her primary targets are a combination of men and woman totaling eight. John Connor is not on the list. She approaches a woman in a car and says "I like your car." Speeding down the road now in a latex outfit, she is pulled over by the police. She notices a billboard of a woman with big breasts and her breasts start to expand. The cop is about to let her off as she looks down and says "I like your gun."
The scene is now on a woman named Kate Brewster (played by Claire Danes). She is called by her father who says that he once again cannot come and visit her and her fiancé because of his special top secret work.
At General Brewster's government facility, we learn a new virus is spreading to computers throughout the world and they are afraid it may infect government computers. They mention that if it does, they may have to turn a new military defense system known as SKYNET on so that they can try to fix the problem. General Brewster is nervous because he says it is not completely ready.
In the desert near town, the strange breeze starts up again and after an explosion of light and fire, Arnold appears as a new T-800, naked as usual. He shows up at a bar where the man outside says "hey you're supposed to go around back" as he enters finding a bar on ladies night. He has about given up finding clothes seeing that all the women are not his size when a male stripper dressed as a biker appears on stage, perfect size for the T-800. He orders him to take off his clothes as he crushes his hand. Outside Arnold reaches in the pocket for sunglasses and pulls out Elton John pink star shaped glasses. He throws them on the ground and steps on them.
The TX is at a drive through and asks if the voice through the box is that of Jose (can't remember his last name). He says it is and she pulls around and shoots him several times in the head. She also appears at a party at a teenagers house looking for a boy and his sister. The boy answers the door and is shot in the head several times again as his sister looking on in horror knows that she is next.
Kate Brewster is called into work early in the morning to help some lady with her cat at a veterinary clinic. She leaves her fiancé in bed and leaves.
John Connor is dropped off at a veterinary clinic by a truck and he breaks in and takes several animal tranquilizers to dull the pain he sustained in the crash. Kate and the cat lady show up later as she tells her to wait in an examination room as she goes to the back finding John. He pulls a gun on her telling her he can't go to a normal hospital. Distracting him she takes his gun and shoots him finding out it is a paintball gun. She throws him in a cage in the back as she realizes who he is as they had gone to the same middle school and made out at a party the day before the T-1000 had gone after John. She asks why he and his mom had just disappeared as they hear a gun shot in the front of the store. The TX asks if the cat lady is Kate Brewster and tastes her blood saying "no you're not Kate Brewster." Going to the room where John was passed out she finds a bandage with blood. She tastes it and stops, absolutely stunned as the words "primary target John Connor" appear in her sight. She sees Kate run out and into a truck. She pulls her out and says "John Connor was here, where is he?" She is just about to kill Kate when Arnold runs her over in a truck. Locking Kate in a veterinary truck he finds John Connor in the back, puts him in the truck, and tells him to drive away as he fights the TX. We find out that the TX is metal interior and liquid metal exterior as she fixes herself. Her arm changes to a strange weapon and shoots electric blasts which explode. As the police appear he is knocked out into a room as the TX shows that she can control machines as she sends 3 or 4 police cars and trucks after John and Kate. Arnold gets up, takes a police motorcycle, and goes after them as the TX is now driving a big wide load semi.
Driving down the road being chased by remote cars and the TX in a semi, John and the locked up Kate are still fleeing as Arnold takes out some of the remote cars being controlled by the TX. After shooting out the semi's tires and knocking the TX from it Arnold jumps into the truck John is driving and takes control just as the semi flips over and crashes. Arnold tells John they are going to a safe place. Now is how we find out how this is possible since they destroyed Cyberdine in T2. The T-800 tells John that they didn't prevent Judgment Day, they only delayed it. The government was still developing the technology for Skynet, it was just taking longer. "Judgment Day is inevitable" he tells John. He tells John that because he was living "off the grid and couldn't be found, the TX was sent this time to kill all of his future lieutenants, Kate being one of them. He tells John that Kate is his future wife and that she is second in command. He tells John to take the wheel as he cuts open his chest and takes out one of his fuel cells and throws it out the window just as a small somewhat nuclear blast follows because it was damaged.
Back at Kate's house the TX is sitting on her bed as her fiancé wakes up. We see a picture of Kate and her fiancé as a chainsaw noise is heard and blood is splattered. Police later show up as the TX has taken the form of her fiancé and tells police that he will go along with them and help them find Kate.
At a gas station, Arnold is taking all the food they need as the attendant is complaining that the TV and computer have not worked all day ( due to the virus). Arnold steals it all and as he lets Kate out of the back she begins to scream "help me" thinking she is being kidnapped. The attendant sees this and calls the police.
John is now in the back with Kate as he explains all of it to her as they are on their way to a cemetery. When there Arnold shows them the "grave" of Sarah Connor as John says that she died of leukemia and fought it long enough to see that Judgment Day didn't occur. Arnold breaks the grave open and in the casket is an arsenal of weapons. He says that Sarah was cremated in Mexico and that her will was to have these guns placed there.
The police with "Kate's fiancé" find out where they are thanks to the gas station attendant and the TX sticks her arm through the seat killing the officer driving and kills the passenger officer too, now steering with her arm through the officer now knowing where Kate and John are.
Several police cars appear at the cemetery and order Arnold and John to "release the hostage" as Kate runs out, still in disbelief. Arnold gets John angry to show him that he does have it in him to lead the human race to victory as Arnold breaks through the side of the building their in with casket in hand and a mini gun, shooting at the cops.
Kate is being consoled by none other than the psychologist from the first 2 terminators who saw the T-1000 walk through the metal bars. He says that in hostage situations you see crazy and unbelievable things. Just then he sees Arnolds face as he shoots at the cops and runs away in fear. Arnold makes note of 0 human casualties and heads off. Kate is now running and she sees her fiancé which turns into the TX. She is shocked and is about to be killed by the electric blast of the TX when Arnold and John pull up in a hearse and shoot the TX with a rocket launcher. Kate gets in and they drive off with the TX chasing them. Taking a shortcut the TX jumps on top of the hearse and starts cutting through the roof. Arnold drives the car under a semi ripping the roof off along with the TX. The TX is shown with the words "primary weapon damaged". She must switch from the electric blast to a flame thrower from her hand now.
When they arrive at a camper which they eventually take Arnold mentions how a General Brewster is responsible for turning Skynet on at 6:18 pm that day. John tells Kate "the end of the world is today, 3 hours from now". She wants to reach her father but the T-800 won't take Johns orders. He says that he must take Kate's orders because she is the one who captured him and reprogrammed him. Instead of heading away from the nuclear fallout towards Mexico, they are now headed towards General Brewster's headquarters an hour away because Arnold says that only he can stop it and John realizes that Brewster was the key the whole time and if he is alive they can still shut Skynet down.
In the camper driving, Arnold says that John didn't capture him in the year 2032 because he was dead. John doesn't want to know how but Kate asks anyway. Arnold says that he killed John in the future before he was reprogrammed. It was possible because of John's attachment to the T-101 in T2 and he was vulnerable when seeing him again. Kate finds out now that they are future spouses and John realizes that fate has occurred. They first kissed the day before the T-1000 tried to kill him and now, 10 years later, they meet again the day before the end of the world.
The TX is now in Brewster's facility and is shown turning on several T-1 machines and beginning to control them. In General Brewster's facility, the virus has started to get into government computers as we see several flying machines that have been seen in flashes of the future attacking humans. He gets orders from a higher power to switch to Skynet even though it is not completely tested but ready so they can get rid of the virus. Brewster switches and the computers are just about to locate the origin of the virus when everything shuts down and the machines begin to attack. Kate runs in and tells him to stop just as several bullets are put through her by Arnold. We find out that it wasn't Kate but the TX as Brewster sees the real Kate and John run for him just as he is shot and almost killed.
The offices are shown as everyone is being killed by the T-1s and flying machines inside and outside as the world is starting to come to an end. Arnold manages to destroy 2 of the T-1s by shooting and ripping their heads off.
In General Brewster's room Arnold rips open a safe for John and Kate as Brewster tells them what folder has the codes in them and where the main facility for Skynet's core is. General Brewster dies as he is caught in an explosion from a rocket outside through his window. Arnold sends John and Kate away as the TX appears and they begin to fight again. After kicking her ass for a bit she isn't phased at all as she blows his face with her new blowtorch and stomps his head off then reprograms him as he stands up and puts his head back on.
Running through the facility John and Kate turn on a machine then run through a tunnel as the TX chases them. The TX is suddenly pulled towards a central tube which is now magnetized after John turned it on. The TX is dying as she is being magnetized to it and her liquid metal exterior is falling off. After John and Kate run away she uses a saw from her arm and damages the machine, returning herself to normal now that the magnetic field is off.
John and Kate are about to leave in a small plane when Arnold appears and starts attacking John. He explains his mind is intact but he cannot control what he does as he pounds on Kate and John. John explains that he is about to fail his mission which would render him obsolete. Hearing this, Arnold shut himself down, saving them. John and Kate escape in the helicopter as Arnold is left standing there. We later see him turn himself back on, returned to normal.
In the middle of far away mountain facility, John and Kate are using the codes from the folder to open the blast doors to Skynet's core just as the TX flying a helicopter crashes in. She is just about to kill them as they open the blast doors when Arnold appears in a helicopter and flies into her. Arnold holds the blast door open for them as it is closing down on him so John and Kate can get through. Being that the TX is not all liquid metal like the T-1000, half of her body is ripped off from the helicopter and now crawls toward John and grabs his leg. Arnold releases him as he and Kate run off. As Arnold holds the TX, he takes out his other fuel cell, sticks it in her mouth and blows them both up, killing the TX and himself for good.
Taking an elevator down to the lower levels, John can't find where the core is. All they find is a presidential podium and several very old computers as they realize there is no Skynet core. Where they are is a fallout shelter for VIPs in case of nuclear war. John talks on the radio to someone calling for help as they realize what kind of hell is going on outside as the man says how machines are killing everyone. Kate realizes that her father ordered them down there just to survive. John narrarates again as he says that there was no Skynet core. Skynet was the virus that started it all and it survives in cyberspace so there is no way to shut it down. He reflects on how the T-800 said "Judgment Day is inevitable" and realizes that the whole time their purpose wasn't to stop Judgment Day, just survive it so they could lead the remaining humans to victory. John and Kate hold hands as the world is shown with multiple nuclear warheads going off across the globe and Judgment Day has finally come, with John and Kate alive to fight the machines in the future they had heard about but wished would never come.

Miswired wall outlets
i have 3 bedroom wall outlets that are part of a circuit that also includes a bathroom. the 1st outlet wiring includes - 2 white, 3 black and a ground. the 2nd outlet includes 2 white, 2 black and a ground. the 3rd outlet includes 1 white, 1 black and a ground. .... i am doing something wrong with the 1st outlet , as i can't seem to get these to work .... any suggestions on the correct wiring for the 1st outlet? help !!
According to you count, you're missing a wire at the first outlet. If you have three blacks, you should have three whites.
agree with HH...make sure when you count wires not to confuse singles with those that may be pigtailed.
Could be that the first receptacle is half switched. One black would come from a switch and connect to 1/2 of the first receptacle, with the tab broke out. The other 2 blacks would be your line in and out to the next receptacle. They would be pigtailed and connected to the other 1/2 of the first receptacle. The whites are in and out. At the 2nd receptacle you have the blacks and whites in and out. At the third, you just have the line in.
The trick is to find the switched black at the first receptacle if my guess is correct.
Wire come in sets. If you have 3 black then you should have three white and three ground. Find the missing white in the first receptacle. Connect it with the other whites and everything down stream will probably work.
Not that you are wrong on this one, you might be 100% correct. It would be easy enough to look. :thumbsup:

Phase 1 - Roofing a Geo Desic Dome
Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this site so go easy on me. Long story short. 3 years ago we hired a contractor to roof my parents home in Fenwick Island, DE. It's a 40 foot geodesic dome and the guy took 4 months to complete it. In the process there was a storm that wiped out the entire interior due to his negligence and now we are attempting a total house renovation which was supposed to be just a roofing job in the beginning. The roof is a train wreck at best.
Dad wants to do a patchwork job and seal holes. I'm a firm believer that if it's worth doing then do it right. So we need guidance. Where should I start.
Through basic calculations for surface area it should have roughly 2512 of roofing required.
What should I expect in costs? How can I minimize them? Anyone know a roofer who want's to come to Fenwick Island, DE to help us out.
Juan V :no:
Look for a spray foam insulation contractor in your area, and see if they spray roofs, or can recommend someone who will. Rather then the insulating properties, this can be applied as a polyurea and "seal" the dome, as well as giving it a colored, stucco look that you might find to be a better solution then composition roofing.
The downside of the geodesic domes are issues like you are having.

Hopefully, these pics will give you some guidance. Because we aligned all the sections, it took about 30 sq.. Maybe more.

Spray foaming a doam.
I'd have to check. I'm getting ready to start one large job and need to contact some clients that have me tenatively scheduled for Mar-Apr.
Let me look into it. What are business requirements in DEl?
What arrangements do you want to work with, work out, or whatever? Budget, lodging, etc?
I forgot to ask if you could post some pictures, or e-mail them.

Sharks' Clowe interferes from bench; Prosser suspended
Even though San Jose Sharks forward Ryane Clowe was caught on video breaking up a rush while on the bench, there's no recourse for the NHL.
That's because the action calls for just a minor penalty.
The specific interference rule:
MORE: NHL suspension tracker
"56.2 Minor Penalty — A Minor penalty shall be imposed on any identifiable player on the players' bench or penalty bench who, by means of his stick or his body, interferes with the movements of the puck or any opponent on the ice during the progress of the play."
Clowe reached over from the bench to break up a rush by Los Angeles Kings forward Jarret Stoll with less than three minutes left in Thursday's game, and though there was protest from Stoll, other Kings players and fans, nothing was called.
"I have no idea what you guys are talking about," Clowe told reporters after the game. "I'll have to see the video or something. Someone show me the video."
Friday, Clowe said he did touch the puck and called it a "brain cramp" that resulted from getting caught up in the emotion of the play.
"It was a dumb play and I'm just lucky … that I didn't cost the team a penalty," he told reporters after practice. "It was definitely a brain cramp and I don't think you'll ever see that happen again."
Kings players were furious after the game. They ended up losing 6-5 in a shootout and now face a tougher road to win the Pacific Division title and the third seed in the Western Conference.
"I don't see why he shouldn't (get suspended)," Kings defenseman Drew Doughty told reporters after the game. "To me, that's like a guy running down the football field and a guy comes out and tackles him to keep him from getting a touchdown. I don't see how this is any different. Maybe the refs didn't see it, but I wouldn't blame them full-out. It's hard to see things like that, especially a stick reaching over the bench."
The teams will play each other Saturday in the season finale in San Jose.
Prosser suspended
Minnesota Wild defenseman Nate Prosser will miss the season finale because of a one-game suspension for head-butting Chicago's Jamal Mayers.
Prosser got a five-minute major and game misconduct on the play in Thursday night's game.
He will forfeit $3,864.86 in the first disciplinary action of his career.

Okay so I've always been a big believer in doing stuff right, not being like most JDM guys that buy those coilover sleeves off ebay drop them all the way down and don't even bother to get an alignment let alone a camber kit. I'm creating this thread, well because I think that Les Schwab prices are ridiculous lol so I'll go ahead and post up my quote sheet from them.
2 Adjustable Cams 167.99 each 335.98 total
2 alignment labor 75.00 each 150.00 total
1 4 Wheel Alignment 83.50 each 83.50 total
Sales Tax: 27.72
Total: 597.20
That is my quote sheet from Les Schwab. It seems absolutely ridiculous IMO, that's twice what I paid for the coilovers themselves! Now I don't mind paying for it, I can come up with the money eventually, possibly see if I can finance to help start my credit, but I would like to look into cheaper options. I know BFI has a front camber kit for the MKIV, +/- 1 degrees for about $180 bucks which is half the price of the Les Schwab kit.
Long story short if you bought yourself a camber kit online I'd like some info on good ones, what I should buy, and if I should do that or just go through Les Schwab. I'm taking my car in for just an alignment on Tues and I'll get the exact angle I'll need but
I'm thinking it won't be any more than 1 degree +/-.
Thanks JJ!

You've got a great location, a great group of friends, a great camera. All the makings of a great shot, right? But you get the file off the camera and onto your computer and lo and behold: a photobomber appears. Some person detracting from the main event, intentionally or not. Happily, with the tools in Adobe Photoshop, you can remove unwanted guests or any other undesired elements from your photographs. You don't even need the latest version of Photoshop. In fact, in this week's episode of Deke's Techniques, Deke takes you through the old-school method for removing a photobomber from an otherwise fantastic photo. These are results you're not going to get with Content-Aware Fill, the Patch tool, or even the brand-new Content-Aware Move tool. No, you have to go back to the basics. We're talking Photoshop version 3, circa 1994 basics. Watch today's free video to learn how.
By Lauren Harmon | Tuesday, February 4, 2014
As Deke notes, one of the most obscure features in Adobe Photoshop CC, the 14.2 update specifically, is its ability to automatically generate trees. But it's actually quite cool. You can make trees of all shapes, sizes, colors, and species. In this episode of Deke's Techniques, Deke McClelland shows how to fill a basic background with "happy little trees" with the new Tree pattern.
Along the way, he'll share a shortcut to this fabulous feature (accessible through the Fill dialog) and show how to adjust all the controls inside the Tree dialog box. He dials in a custom foliage color, rearranges the limbs, randomizes a tree's appearance, and scales the trees individually within the artwork.

Many of Photoshop's best features can only be accessed from the keyboard. Like, how would you know Alt+Backspace (or Option-Delete) fills with black?

Walt Disney Co. decided to conduct its own testing of toys featuring Disney characters, following toymaker Mattel's three recent toy recalls due to lead paint. Disney's decision follows a similar move by retailer Toys "R" Us, underscoring the lack of confidence in U.S. toymakers' ability to vouch for the safety of their Chinese-made products.

Shade Hotel
1221 North Valley Drive, Manhattan Beach, CA
0.3 mi from
Staff were very helpful and location was perfect. Close to all the action yet quiet. In the evening you had to enter hotel through lounge bar which at weekends was packed so not ideal with kids.
THe desk staff was very attentive and accommodating.
The room was relaxing and comfortable. It was perfect for my wife and I to celebrate our anniversary. The price was a bit much for what it offered but I was willing to pay becuase of the location and it was a nice place to stay at.
Location, room amenities Expensive, no complimentary waters in rooms or glasses (must be requested from front desk), couldn't get logged onto the wireless internet network in the hotel, loud party til 2:30 a.m.
the ambiance, proximity to the strand/beach, complimentary breakfast, overall service was good. it has the "cool" factor of the club atmosphere at the front desk. however, it is sort of unsettling checking in late in the evening in the middle of the club, without being all done up and all the clubgoers are sort of checking you out while you stand at the front desk. i recommend trying to check in before the night life begins there if you are at all self-conscious. i like the complimentary use of bikes and beach chairs. when we arrived our room was extremely hot - even the bellman commented on it. However, after 2 hours the a/c was still not working to get the temp down. We called to front desk at midnight and said we would like to change rooms in the morning. the next day no one contacted us to see if the problem was remedied. the a/c system is strange - it cut on and off all night. in the middle of the night it was very hot in the room but by morning it was freezing cold. the temperature never stayed consistent. it was a very disruptive 3 nights of sleep with the constant temp changes and the clicking and humming of the system turning off and on all night (approx every 20 minutes).
Very dark and claustrophobic rooms. The colors are dark for a spa hotel. And very noisy. We don't call a spa hotel just because there is a tub in the room. more "willing to help" personnel instead of pretentious trendy ones. we request service.
We loved the location. And we loved the quiet professional attitude of all staff- everything done with a smile and curtious attitude. Extremely service minded- which made us feel valued as customers and we will definately stopover again.
- the staff were very friendly at all times - the location of the hotel was great, Manhattan beach and the surrounding area are lovely and its an easy 30 minute drive to central LA - it was very busy, the foyet doubles as the bar which was constantly busy with parties, this meant that there was nowhere for the hotel guests to relax or sit with a drink - the lighting in the room was very dark and due to being overlooked by the main road (ground floor) we could not open curtains to enjoy the sunshine, it began to feel a little depressing in the room!

Danville, Ky. – Lead-off, walk-off solo homerun from freshman Sydney Goyette and Georgetown College softball is back in the Mid-South Conference finals. The Tigers won 6-5.
GC will play Cumberland University 2 pm Sunday in Danville, Ky. at Millennium Park. The team will need to win the 2 pm game to force an if necessary game to try and lock up the second bid to the national tournament.
Another epic battle ensued between the Orange & Black Tigers (35-13) and the Lady Tigers of Campbellsville University. It took nine innings, Georgetown led twice, CU (42-17) rallied twice to tie it. This all set the stage for the ice-cold freshman for her second homerun of the season.
One a 2-0 pitch from Martina Riney, the extra inning game was over as Goyette's ball sailed without a doubt over the left center fence.
The Tigers got going with two runs in the bottom of the first. Chelsea Riney started with a lead-off double. Emily Snow went to bunt her over and also reached safely on an error. The next two batters were out, but CU was taking no chance with Sandy Young. They intentionally walked the sophomore. This put the bat in freshman Chelsae Osborn's hands. She delivered with a two RBI single with a low liner past first baseman.
Jessica Claxton, also a freshman, was dealing in the circle and things seemed to be well in hand. The Indiana native had a no-hitter going with just five walks, but a single and a homerun in the bottom of the fifth turned the tide.
Georgetown responded with back-to-back walks and Goyette reaching on an error for a run. Another single and a hit batter set the stage for another rookie to come up big. Hayden Seng's bloop was dropped in shallow left to score another two.
CU got right back in it with a single, walk, hit batter, an RBI walk and an error that allowed two runs.
It was a stale mate through the next two innings despite a few scoring opportunities for both teams. Kayla Williams settled down and got nine of the next 10 batters she faced out, including an amazing double play to end the top of the ninth.
Off that momentum, Goyette dug in and ended the game.
This is the first time Georgetown has been in the finals since winning it in 2008. The Tigers came out of the loser's bracket that year and had to win two games in the championship to win the double elimination tournament. They will need to do the same Sunday against Cumberland. The Bulldogs knocked GC into the loser's bracket with a 3-2 comeback win Friday afternoon in the championship game of the winner's bracket.

Citation: Hall, D.G., Gottwald, T.R., Nguyen, C.M., Ichinose, K., Le, D.Q., Beattie, A. 2007. Intercropping of citrus and guava trees for management of Huanglongbing [abstract]. Florida Entomological Society Annual Meeting, July 15-18, 2007, Sarasota, Florida. Paper No. 72. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Recent studies conducted in Viet Nam by Vietnamese, Japanese and Australian scientists indicate that interplanting citrus with guava negated infestations of Asian citrus psyllid and consequently huanglongbing, a serious disease caused by a bacterium vectored by the psyllid. Young citrus interplanted with guava remained disease-free for a year whereas a similar plot of citrus by itself showed signs of the disease within four months of planting and reached over 30% trees infected within a year. Observations supporting the guava effect were made in other Vietnamese groves where citrus and guava were intercropped. This presentation presents a summary of what is known about the guava effect in Viet Nam along with information gained during a trip made by USDA-ARS to Viet Nam during April 2007.
