Amy Winehouse is all sultry sounds from the lounge, mixed with a tell-it-like-it-is feistiness, writes Neil McCormick.
Frank is out now.
Even in an era when pop stars just seem to keep getting younger, the almost preternatural combination of vitality and maturity in Amy Winehouse seems surprising. Her big, smoky, sensual voice sounds steeped in a century of jazz and soul, evoking comparison with divas such as Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington, but her beats and attitude burst with the snap of a 21st-century urban teenager. Her debut album, Frank, released when she was just 19, introduced Winehouse as one of the most exciting and original talents in Britain.
Her fluid grasp of melody and the nuance in her singing were well served by the collection of delightfully sparky songs she had written, which evoked the emotional and social life of a North London girl who sounded as if she had been through the love wars.
By turns dirty, flirty, funny, sarcastic, abusive, self-lacerating, heartbreaking and extraordinarily worldly wise, the musical debutante was rewarded with a 2004 Brit nomination for best female act. However, she is not letting the praise turn her head. "I'm not a great singer, yaknowwotamean?" she says, with a kind of cheerful, common-sense dismissiveness. "People are very throwaway with their words these days. If someone comes out and they've got hoop earrings and a big bum, it's like, 'She's a diva!' You have to earn these things. Not from other people, from yourself. You have to earn your own respect."
She was pleased by the Brit nomination, even though she didn't win (the award went to Dido). "It's very flattering, especially to be put with the women as opposed to the new artists." And says of the winner: "She has to get it so everyone can kind of justify why they bought her album."
There is a glint of bitchiness about Winehouse, a friendly sarcasm much in evidence in her songs. Her debut single, Stronger than Me, weighed into the battle of the sexes with an attack on a passive male boyfriend.
"I feel like a lady and you my ladyboy," she sang, before inquiring: "Are you gay?"
"I think I'm a dopey, soppy, happy, sensitive person, but I've got a big mouth, yaknowwotamean?" she laughs. Done up to the nines (lustrous lipstick, dark mascara, long, black eyelashes, thick, black hair), Winehouse looks every inch the Jewish princess. It is an image that suits her jazzy milieu, but when she opens her mouth to speak, it is more EastEnders than Queen's English.
The mix of sophistication and earthy, working-class sensibility is beguiling. Her father is an East End taxi driver obsessed with Frank Sinatra. "My dad's great. He is like the karaoke Sinatra. He has a CD in his cab of all the backing tracks. He could be a lounge act, he's that good."
Winehouse, who plays guitar, has been focused on jazz her whole life. "I've been very lucky with the record deal and the beautiful blessings that came with it, but I want more from life than people knowing who I am," she says. "I'm not the girl who worked and dreamt the hardest. I'm just a musician who put some songs together."
From the age of 15, she sang in a big band: "That's all I ever wanted to do. Although it was a bit too straight for me. If you wanna talk about trad jazz versus bebop, my interest is in that area where Charlie Parker realised that within a chord you could play the derivatives - that's what really drives me.
"But, if my career should die right now, I would go to Vegas and be a lounge singer, do that every night for the rest of my life, and I would be completely happy, yaknowwotamean?"
She is managed by a division of 19, the music and media empire of Pop Idol svengali Simon Fuller. But, when they first approached her - at the age of 16 - Winehouse repeatedly rebuffed them, afraid that they would try to turn her into another karaoke queen. "I was a tunnel-vision teenager. I knew what I wanted to do, and I didn't believe them when they said, 'We're not gonna pop you up.' "
It took more than a year for her to be persuaded of their intentions, whereupon she began working on her album for Universal Island, productively linking up with Ms Dynamite producer Salaam Remi.
The period she spent writing and recording coincided with a rise in the commercial fortunes of the whole jazz-soul genre, with the global success of Norah Jones paving the way for Winehouse.
"I think, with any musician, you take in as much as you can of all these different influences, and when it comes out, it's unique because it's filtered through you."
Winehouse can be flip and irreverent but, when she talks about music, her love for it is invigorating.
She called her album Frank not just as a reflection of her lyrical attitude but in homage to her father's musical hero. "Sinatra was an arsehole, I do understand that, but he had something, this connection to the songs."
Discussing In the Wee Small Hours, she calls it the greatest heartbreak album ever made and rhapsodises about the clarinet on What Is This Thing Called Love?, singing the horn line that introduces the ballad.
"The melody is so sad. I've always thought, for a woodwind instrument, the clarinet is kind of cold. It's such a good instrument to put at the beginning, because it's kind of hollow like Frank when he comes in, singing, 'What is this thing?' "
In the Wee Small Hours was given to her by a boyfriend. When they broke up, she put all his presents in a box and returned them to him, then immediately wrote the tear-jerking Take the Box, which includes the line, "Frank's in there, but I don't care."
Much of the album, indeed, details this on/off affair in insightful and uncompromising fashion. "I'm hard on him," she admits, "but I'm hard on myself, too." Then she reveals, with a deliciously comical sense of gossipy indiscretion, that her romantic muse has not heard her album.
"The last time I spoke to him, he said, 'Send me an album.' I said to him, 'Do me a favour! I don't even have a copy myself, so what am I supposed to send you?' So he said, 'Go in the shop and buy me one.' And I said, 'Why?' And he goes, 'Because I'm too embarrassed. I can't go in the shop and buy an album that is about me.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, but people don't know you! If I go in a shop, they'd be like, 'You're buying your own album, you sad bitch!' Yaknowwotamean!?!
"And he said to me, 'Look, I've got to see you, I owe you a tenner, so why don't you just give me an album when I see you.' I said, 'I'll tell you what, why don't you keep the tenner, let's not see each other, just go and buy the album for f---'s sake!'"
It is a little diatribe that perfectly reflects the vibrant personality at the heart of this extraordinarily rich recording, as lyrically outspoken as it is musically substantial.
"My dad sings my songs all the time," Winehouse says. "The songs are very intimate to me, but I've had to say to myself, they're out of me now, they're in the world, anyone can hear them.
"But it's still embarrassing when your dad sings all the risque lines and goes, 'You meant that in the rude way, didn't you? You're terrible, Amy.' And I'm like, 'Oh my God, someone kill me!' "

Queensland Motorways – controlled by the state government's Queensland Investment Corporation – is acquiring the troubled road for $618 million in debt and equity.
The sale price represents less than one-third of the $2 billion the tunnel cost to build. The project went into administration in early 2011 after its owner,
Mr Bourke said he was confident that Queensland Motorways, which operates 62 kilometres of toll roads in Brisbane, including the Gateway and Logan Motorways, could make the tunnel work financially. "It's a very strong investment project for us," he said, adding that drivers would be able to use the group's integrated road network and pay road tolls in a "one-stop shop".
"The fact that it's in our back yard played to our advantage," he said.
Queensland Motorways, which is only buying the tunnel asset and not other companies linked to the RiverCity Motorway group, has been considered the most likely buyer of Clem Jones since it fell into administration.
'Good buy for length of concession'
The group, which has some one million customers, also had "good insight" into future traffic patterns due to its ownership of existing roads, Mr Bourke said. "It's not just a good buy for today, but a good buy for the length of the concession," he said, adding that roads were a sound long-term investment because demand for them would rise as Brisbane's population expanded.
Queensland Motorways is not planning any changes to Clem Jones's toll pricing structure, which is regulated by its concession deed, with increases linked to consumer price inflation.
The sale of the tunnel to Queensland Motorways is expected to be completed in the next three to four months. Bidders submitted final offers earlier this week; Queensland Motorways won after paying the highest price, according to receivers KordaMentha.
Bankers said the good sale price and strong interest from potential buyers – four bidders made it to a final shortlist – reflected demand for toll-road assets once traffic patterns were established.
Toll road group
Brisbane Airport Link tunnel for sale
Brisbane's Airport Link tunnel – Australia's largest and most expensive toll road tunnel, which cost some $4.9 billion to build – is also for sale after going into receivership earlier this year.
State governments are now radically rethinking how they build and finance road projects after the series of failures; both NSW's proposed WestConnex road project and Melbourne's East West Link project are expected to have different funding models.
The Clem Jones Tunnel was a financial black hole for RiverCity from its opening; traffic flows failed to live up to the over-optimistic forecasts provided by consulting group Maunsell.
Shares issued at $1 in 2006 traded at 7¢ before the stock was halted ahead of receivership in early 2011.
Drivers shunned the tunnel even after toll fares were slashed to encourage residents to use it. About 22,000 vehicles a day used the tunnel in January 2011 – far less than the 60,000 a day forecast to use it in the first month of tolling and the 100,000 forecast to drive through it by the end of the year.
In new traffic forecasts released in early 2011, consultants Integrated Management Information Systems estimated on average only 40,435 vehicles a day would use the tunnel by 2020.

Management software, like most of high tech, is not only driven by technology, products, marketing, IT requirements and business needs - it's also driven by fashion.
Fashion is in turn driven by the media, which require change and conflict, and encourage short-term memory. It's no fun if fashions move at a glacial pace; we tend to expect them to change on a yearly basis, if not more frequently.
The result is that what's fashionable is often not yet real, and what's real is no longer fashionable. For example, the blush on Java's rose faded several years ago - at just about the time it was becoming entrenched as a real differentiator, and meaningful management solutions were beginning to deploy it. Service-level management came and went and is coming back again as "service assurance." The term "QoS" (quality of service) has been rebounding from acronymic limbo for years and is now used to describe something much more generic - although no one has so far been able to explain to me exactly what that is. The "e-" prefix to "business" and "infrastructure" management was applied last year to reflect "all business" and "all infrastructure" and is now selectively being dropped - at a time when, in reality, the need to manage Web-based business is more relevant than ever.
The truth is that unlike cars, and clothing styles for very thin women, management software itself doesn't go through the annual fashion transformations that its marketing might suggest. While many companies come and go in months or very few years, many of the real forces behind user adoption need to be understood in terms of longer periods; in some cases, they may even span more than a decade. This may seem heretical in a market climate in which it's hard to see the future even two days out, but it might also be viewed as reassuring.
I was especially struck by this phenomenon recently when in a discussion among 15 or so IT professionals, the term "manager of managers" (MOM) received a fairly positive reception. What does MOM mean? About 10 years ago the term referred to an architecture where a single management system could unite different management systems for centralized control. At that time, the mainframe world was still viewed as holding the keys for MOM deployment. The advantages were superior infrastructure control and business efficiency - the Holy Grail of management. The problems were that the idea was a schema, not a reality.
The term became unfashionable at least five years ago when - from a marketing perspective - no one wanted to call themselves a "manager of managers." The terms "platforms" and "frameworks" took over and then suffered their own twists of fate at the hands of fashion and, frankly, reality. I am in no way suggesting that it's time to bring back MOM as banner for tradeshows, headlines and lead sentences in press releases. But I do get the feeling that we are about to enter the period in management software when the advantages of a MOM can begin to be meaningfully achieved.
Why is this? First of all, MOM hasn't gone away. Tivoli's Enterprise Console and its Business Systems Manager may not be easy to implement, but they do provide a MOM, in concept. Aprisma's Spectrum and RiverSoft's OpenRiver reflect new architectural approaches (even if Spectrum is in fact more than a decade old itself) to integrating management applications into a core intelligent base. And single prroducts are evolving towards suites, often with the potential for sharing common databases. Witness Micromuse in its current evolution. Even in the performance management market (or what used to be the performance management market and is now becoming something broader), there is consolidation that has a MOM-like feel. Witness Concord's capabilities for real-time management and NetScout's step-by-step integration of NextPoint. Frameworks, such as OpenView from Hewlett-Packard and TND from Computer Associates, are also reengineering themselves to enable MOM-like capabilities.
What do these have in common that the past "manager of managers" vision didn't? Rather than being a strict play for centralization, modern MOMs allow distributed management deployments - in case you want to manage your routers from Chicago and your applications from Gainesville - but still profit from knowledge of the interdependencies that can affect the performance of both. More importantly, modern MOMs will offer real integration on the one hand, and a less grandiose vision on the other. The two suggest a meeting place somewhere in the next few years where users and vendors might meet with some degree of satisfied expectation.
This story, "Are IT managers still looking for MOM? " was originally published by Network World.

A number of Israeli settlements in the Negev were cut off last night as a heavy, half-hour long thunderburst overflowed normally dry wadies and washed out bridges in the Beersheba vicinity. The nearly one inch of rainfall, extremely unusual in itself, created a huge "lake" west of Beersheba. Meteorologists see the possibility of further rains.

Beginning in April, female horntails insert their eggs just under the epidermis, about 2 inches below
the tips of the canes, causing pronounced swelling inside new shoots. Eggs are pearly white and oblong,
with a curved point at one end. The eggs hatch into very small larvae a few days after being laid. The
young larvae spirally girdle the tips of the canes and cause wilting. The cane becomes weak in the area
of the crook and often breaks at this point during pruning and training. The larvae later feed throughout
the terminal portion of the cane, which often causes dieback. When mature, larvae burrow down the canes
in the pith and spend the winter in silk-lined cells in the burrows. In spring they pupate and the adults
emerge through a round hole cut in the sides of the canes. In some locations they may have two generations
per year.

Picking Out the Best Nursing School
John Morris
The health care profession has certainly grown throughout recent years from pharmacists to doctors and especially nurses wherein the demand in the United States has been steadily increasing. Various nursing schools, which can be found in the country, will be able to provide nursing aspirants with the proper training as well as nursing degrees which will play a critical role in the country's health care system.
Since there are various nursing schools in the country, expect that these nursing schools also offer various types of nursing education which includes the Registered Nursing degree, RN to BSN programs, licensed practical nursing schools, RN to MSN programs, CAN training as well as Parish nursing. It really depends on the kind of nursing job that you want to pursue later after you graduate from the nursing school.
In nursing schools, some of the nursing education programs are especially designed for students who are already registered nurses who wants to give their career that added boost which is why in the RN to BS nursing education programs in the nursing schools, teachers will their nursing school students to prepare for the transition towards taking on more senior nursing roles in the nursing profession.
Each and every nursing school actually offers the needed clinical training which is needed in your area so that you will be ensured that whatever nursing education and training that you get from theses nursing schools. You will surely be able to benefit from them once you start working in the health care profession. Also make sure that whichever nursing school that you choose to attend to is actually NLN accredited.
Nursing school graduates are definitely in high demand nowadays since there are more and more important managing roles in clinics, hospitals, research etc that is in great need of professional nurses. There is actually a great shortage of nurses in the United States which is why a lot people are being encouraged to become nurses since not only is it a great job but it does have its numerous benefits as well. However, if the United States continues to have a great shortage on nurses, the country will be suffering a shortage of 400,000 professional nurses by the year 2020.
A good nursing education from a reputable nursing school will be able to help these nursing students prepare for the seemingly daunting task of helping the sick, the injured and the disabled. And in addition, each and every of the nursing schools in the United States also offer financial aid as well as job placement assistance for their students.
Aside from the usual nursing schools wherein you actually have to go there to have the nursing education that you are looking for, take classes and basically just have a normal nursing life there are those working professionals who are thinking of becoming professional nurses but don't actually have the time to go to nursing school. Various nursing schools in the country have thought of putting up online schools so that these working professionals as well as those who opt to have the leisure of time when it comes to studying, to just take their classes as well as their other training modules in the comfort of their own home or whichever place that they can find which has a computer and internet connection.
The California College for Health Sciences is a good online nursing school because it offers comprehensive online diploma courses for both bachelor's and master's degree programs in various health care professions such as Nursing, Respiratory therapy, early childhood education, public health and health care management. This popular online nursing school also offers the following health care programs, administration (for the medical office), dental assistant, gerontology, EKG technician, health care management as well as health care management associates, health care management (bachelor's degree), health care management (master's degree), medical transcription, nursing (master's degree), nursing (RN to bachelor's degree), Pharmacy Assistant/Technician and Respiratory Therapy.
There really are a lot of career opportunities that are just waiting to be tapped by simply attending a reputable nursing school. Various nursing jobs that are available in various hospitals, clinics right now are the following: registered nurse, case management nurse, clinical nurse specialist, home health aides, home health nurse, hospital nurse. LPN careers nurse, anesthetist nurse, midwife nurse practitioner and nursing aides.

STP "Wasn't Special Anymore" According to Scott Weiland
While Scott Weiland is touring and preparing to release another solo record, the Stone Temple Pilots topic always comes up in his interviews. It should, that band is the reason Scott is where he is today, for better or worse.
He was talking to UT San Diego and they asked Weiland why he was fired from the band in 2013.
"I can't really go into details, because it hasn't been resolved yet. But, basically, we came to a point where we just didn't have - there wasn't the same kind of mutual respect for one another, there was no more communication. The band was very segregated; it wasn't special anymore, which made me really bummed out. That's all I can say."

I guess legally there are still contracts and royalties and everything else preventing Scott from talking more about it. At least he doesn't seem angry and it isn't sending him in a downward spiral. Had this been 10 years ago, things probably would have been a lot different. I'm glad to see Scott moving forward with his life and his music.

St. Clair R-XIII School District officials continue to work toward making their facilities as safe and secure as possible in this age of all-too-frequent shooting incidents.
Board of education members were given the latest details on an intruder training scheduled for later in the month as well as options to purchase bulletproof safety glass that can be placed on school doors and windows.
The intruder training is scheduled for the afternoon of Friday, Sept. 27, at St. Clair Elementary School. That day is a professional development day at the school so there are no classes for students.
District administrators have been working with Sgt. Donnie Dunn and Chief Bill Hammack of the St. Clair Police Department to organize the active shooter training. Two sessions are planned, and each will feature an armed "intruder" who will enter the building.
Information from the district states that as part of the training, blank rounds of gunshots may be fired in hallways and/or classrooms.
"The goal of this training is for the St. Clair school district staff to practice our active shooter lockdown procedures in a real-life intruder situation," Assistant Superintendent Mark Denbow said.
Staff members will participate in both sessions. An administrative debriefing will follow.
Superintendent Mike Murphy is scheduled to issue a phone blast to parents at 11:30 a.m. that day to remind parents of the training. According to information from the district, the blast will say that an active shooter training will take place that afternoon and that "there is no need for alarm."
"This is for training purposes only so that our staff and the St. Clair Police Department will be as prepared as possible in case of an actual emergency," the phone blast script reads.
School personnel will follow their lockdown and active shooter procedures as identified in the district's crisis management plan.
Safety Glass
Board members also watched a video demonstration by Sullivan-based Bleeding Edge Engineered Systems about the use of its safety glass product.
"The company came and did a walk-through with us," Murphy said. "They have a very unique and interesting product, and I feel the board should be made aware of it."
Murphy did say it costs about $200 per square foot to install.
Bleeding Edge works with the ultra-polymeric engineered technology and carries the safety glass.
The video showed Franklin County Sheriff's Deputy Eric Schmidt firing 210 rounds of ammunition into a "School Shield" window and not penetrating the glass, thus not allowing access.
"This is just another example of a product available that can enhance school safety," Murphy said.
There was no action taken by the board, but it may discuss it further during a future meeting.

Finance Minister
Senator Wong told ABC radio yesterday: "What I'd say is, let's have a look at the investment figures over the last few years where we see a continued steep climb in the amount of investment in resources in this country over the last three years, precisely in the time frame where these policies have been on the table.
"And look at the $430 billion worth of investment in resources that is in the pipeline. The numbers tell the story."
Evy Hambro from BlackRock, which has more than $US35 billion in funds under management, said the tax had hurt Australia's appeal as a place to invest. He said the nation had previously been "very, very stable".
Greens MP
Even if the tax is introduced, its path through Parliament will be complicated by a committee inquiry and amendments that could propose a broader levy, a higher tax rate and more protection for small miners.
The government has said it will adhere to the agreement it made with BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Xstrata. This week,
Regional Australia Minister
About a third of the tax's revenue has been earmarked for infrastructure, especially in mining states. Some 77.9 per cent of 2000 people surveyed in a poll published this week by the Australian National University strongly approved or approved of a tax on very profitable miners.
There has been public consultation about the new law, a spokesman for Mr Swan said, and discussions with crossbenchers and stakeholders.

"This narrow-angle color image of the Earth, dubbed 'Pale Blue Dot', is a part of the first ever 'portrait' of the solar system taken by Voyager 1. The spacecraft acquired a total of 60 frames for a mosaic of the solar system from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth and about 32 degrees above the ecliptic. From Voyager's great distance Earth is a mere point of light, less than the size of a picture element even in the narrow-angle camera. Earth was a crescent only 0.12 pixel in size. Coincidentally, Earth lies right in the center of one of the scattered light rays resulting from taking the image so close to the sun. This blown-up image of the Earth was taken through three color filters — violet, blue and green — and recombined to produce the color image. The background features in the image are artifacts resulting from the magnification."

The UK's first 4G mobile internet service is here, with network EE officially flipping the switch – and converting 680 Orange and T-Mobile high street shops overnight.
On 30 October, 4G service will be available in the UK - and your familiar Orange and T-Mobe storefronts will be a thing of the past, with the only branding seen on the network's online shops. On the high street, EE will front all stores, though each store will sell tariffs for Orange, T-Mobile and of course, EE.
The 4G rollout begins tomorrow in 10 UK cities, including London, Bristol and Cardiff, with 70% of the UK population covered next year. The network has claimed 98% coverage of the UK population by 2014, making it the fastest 4G rollout in the world, superceding even Scandinavia's speedy rollout of local super-fast internet.
As for the difference between the three brands under one store roof? T-Mobile has been labelled the network for the basics and Orange the slightly more expensive operator offering perks like 2-for-1 cinema tickets. EE is the official superfast internet' that packs Orange-style perks, as well as the EE Film offer for one free film download per week outside your regular data allowance.
EE says their 4G service is five times quicker than current 3Gspeeds, allowing customers to stream TV and download films comfortably – as well as access Facebook and standard websites faster. We ran a speed test on an in-store iPhone 5 and got a download speed of 20.44MBps, which is actually three times faster than the theoretical best (7.2MBps) of current 3G.
Of course, that's a theoretical speed - we'll be running phone-against-phone tests from tomorrow to give you a more detailed analysis.
The new EE stores also section phones by operating system, while sales staff are trained in one particular OS. If you lose your phone, says EE, a preloaded app called Clone Phone on all EE SIMs ensures you'll get it back with all your data within 24 hours.
Despite the recent social media outrage about 4G tariffs costing too much, EE is sanguine about their incoming customers. "We're expecting real pull from business people, including SMEs, one-man bands, an equal representation from business and consumer contracts," said an EE spokesperson.
At launch, 4G internet will only be available on 24-month tariffs (check them out here), but down the line, PAYG tariffs will be considered as well. We'll be testing out an HTC One XL fully tomorrow, so check back for our full 4G review then!

Rated 3 out of 5 by scb092 from pilling.... I have purchased many of these tanks and take every opportunity to wear one when I can but on the new one I purchased soon after it began pilling under the armpits. This has not happened to any other of my tanks but am not happy with the quality of this specific tank if so soon it is already pilling.

Date: November 12 2012
The radicalisation of the French gunman who killed seven people on an eight-day shooting spree this year began at home, his brother recounts in a new book and documentary, according to media reports.
Mohamed Merah killed three Jewish children, a rabbi and three paratroopers in and around the southern city of Toulouse in March before dying in a standoff with police.
Merah claimed links to al-Qaeda and said he had received training at an Islamist paramilitary camp in Pakistan.
One of his brothers, Abdelkader, also faces preliminary charges in the case and is in police custody.
The attacks raised painful questions about whether France was failing to integrate the children of Muslim immigrants, like the Merahs, who are of Algerian origin.
Many blamed the poverty of the neighbourhoods many immigrants and their children live in for driving them to radical Islam.
But a new book by another of Merah brother, Abdelghani, says his parents, particularly his mother, are responsible for Mohamed's radicalisation.
According to excerpts published in Le Figaro and other newspapers, Abdelghani made a silent vow on the day of Mohamed's funeral to tell the world how they were raised on anti-Semitism.
"I will explain how my parents raised you in an atmosphere of racism and hate before the Salafis could douse you in religious extremism," he writes in My brother, that terrorist, due out this week. Salafis are ultraconservative Muslims.
The Merahs' mother was at one point held for questioning but has since been released.
Their father left the family for Algeria when the children were young but has since sued the French state for Mohamed's death.
A documentary featuring interviews with Abdelghani and his sister, Souad, treads similar ground.
In an excerpt, Abdelghani remembers how his mother drove home a message of anti-Semitism.
"My mother always said, 'We, the Arabs, we were born to hate Jews.' This speech, I heard it all throughout my childhood," Abdelghani says in the documentary.
Souad, on the other hand, declares how proud she is of her brother, Mohamed.

Domestic Production Poised to Surpass Imports
The moment has almost arrived when domestic oil production will once again exceed imports. If current trends continue, it could occur before the end of this year, according to projections released this week by the Energy Information Administration. This would be the first time output has exceeded imports since 1995.
Both declining consumption and increased output have played a part. Consumption is dipping toward 15 million barrels per day (bbl/d), which is a decline from the peak in 2008. Production is rising toward 8 mbbl/d, a level not achieved since 1988, mainly from shale deposits in North Dakota and Texas. The combination should push output past imports within the coming months.
Will this constitute energy independence? The term is very amorphous. It is probably good that we are importing some oil, otherwise we would "drain America first." We are certainly now less vulnerable to supply interruptions, since only about one-quarter of our oil now comes from the Persian Gulf. Nor are we likely to be the victims of oil cartels, since OPEC has very little leverage in setting the market price.
Despite all this, Americans are still paying historic highs for a gallon of gas. The main reason is increasing demand from the developing world, particularly China and India. China has just passed the US as the world's largest oil importer and the growing thirst in both these countries is likely to keep pushing prices higher for the foreseeable future.


text: Benedict Cumberbatch reenacts The Reichenbach Fall... from 15,000 feet Thought the Sherlock season two finale featured a big drop? Find out what happened when the actor swapped a high-rise building for an aeroplane... Comments Written By Susanna Lazarus 2:30 PM, 04 September 2012 His star may be on the rise but Benedict Cumberbatch is falling - literally - thousands of feet to the ground. Perhaps taking inspiration from Sherlock's series two finale, The Reichenbach Fall, the actor has launched himself out of a plane at 15,000ft. But devoted fans need not fear, our beloved Sherlock actor's jump with Skydive Paradise in Queenstown, New Zealand was done in tandem with an experienced parachuter whose extra long arms provided us with an excellent selection of photographic evidence. It remains to be seen what fans used to Benedict's slick suited-and-booted attire in both Sherlock and latest BBC drama Parade's End will make of the fetching frap hat and goggles he sports in these photos. And anyone wondering whether Sherlock loses his cool at 15,000ft should take one look at this face... Ooh look, there it is again... Hi Benedict! Phoar, it's a long way down - great goggles, by the way... What a view! Radio Times HQ is getting rather excited about the New Zealand views in that Hobbit film you're in, Benedict! Modelling the vertical pose. That parachute guy has mighty long arms... Here's Benny C doing his best Hobbit impression, with a ginormous head and teeny tiny body... Happy Cumberbatch looking rather chuffed with himself... Safely back on the ground (phew!) with something resembling a giant turtle next to him... Benedict regains some of that dashing composure we know and love as he smoulders into the lens (lucky lady... ) And one final thumbs up for the camera - Benedict Cumberbatch, we salute you. Benedict's skydive was with New Zealand-based Skydive Paradise offering dives from 15,000ft and 12,000ft over stunning scenery. Check out their website here.

M10 should be like the R-D1!!
I'd actually go a different way, if I could. Here is what I would want in an M10:
CMOS or interline transfer CCD to allow liveview, particularly a histogram, and an electronic shutter that is totally silent
Higher frame rate with that electronic shutter--no reason 5 fps wouldn't be easy
Better high ISO performance in terms of both noise and, particularly, dynamic range
Slightly thinner body (like a film M)
Lower cost--go ahead and make it in Portugal if that will save a thousand Euros
Saphire crystal over the LCD like the M9P
Improved auto white balance
Larger write buffer
Better battery life (would probably come automatically with a CMOS chip)
Some basic weather sealing--nothing fancy, but I'd like to feel more confident in a light drizzle
A light meter that shows my selected shutter speed in the viewfinder when in manual mode--I hate the little triangles
Display of the selected ISO in the viewfinder
That's about it. These changes would all make an M10 a better camera without, in my opinion, changing its "soul" at all. I don't need or want higher megapixel count--we are already well past the point that the vast majority of the images I take are limited in resolution by either diffraction (above f/11 or so) or by technique (either camera shake or focus). I also don't need a bigger or better LCD--suppose I would take one if offered, but I'm much more concerned with image quality in the DNG's than on the LCD. I don't need or want autofocus. I also don't care about LED frame lines--if I'm really concerned by critical composition, the liveview would cover that requirement. Frankly, though, I'm happier just choosing a focal length and perspective that has a little extra room and then cropping as required by my choice in aspect ratio/paper size. There's easily enough resolution that I don't mind throwing away a touch--others may well disagree.

Washington, DC – Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid delivered the following statement on the U.S. Senate floor before the full Senate vote on John Roberts for Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Remarks as prepared.
"As I announced on the Senate floor last week, I intend to vote against the nomination of Judge John Roberts to be Chief Justice of the United States.
"I like John Roberts personally, and I respect his legal skills. I respect much of the work he has done in his career, such as his advocacy on the environmental side of the Lake Tahoe takings case several years ago. But at the end of the day, I have too many unanswered questions about the nominee to justify a vote confirming him to this lifetime position.
"Each Senator applies his or her own standard in carrying out the Advice and Consent Clause of the Constitution. I know that elections have consequences, and I agree that presidents are entitled to a measure of deference in appointing judicial nominees. After all, the Senate has confirmed over 200 of President Bush's nominees, some of whom possess a judicial philosophy with which I disagree.
"But deference to the President only goes so far. Our Founding Fathers gave the Senate a central role in the nominations process, and that role is especially important in considering a Supreme Court nomination. If confirmed by the Senate, John Roberts will serve as Chief Justice of the United States and leader of the third branch of the federal government for decades to come. He will possess enormous legal authority.
"In my view, we should only vote to confirm this nominee if he has persuaded us that he will protect the freedoms that Americans hold dear. This is a very close question for me. But I will resolve my doubts in favor of the American people whose rights would be in jeopardy if John Roberts turns out to be the wrong person for the job.
"I was very impressed with Judge Roberts when I first met him, soon after he was nominated. I knew that he had been a thoughtful, non-ideological member of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for the past two years. But several factors caused me to reassess my initial view.
"Most notably, I was disturbed by memos that surfaced from Judge Roberts's years of service in the Reagan Administration. These documents raise serious questions about the nominee's approach to women's rights and other civil rights.
"In my floor statement last week, I gave specific examples of the memos that concerned me. I also explained that I was prepared to look past these memos if the nominee distanced himself from these views at his Judiciary Committee hearings. But I was so disappointed when the nominee took the disingenuous stance that the views expressed in those memos were merely the views of his client, the Reagan Administration. Anyone who has read the memos can see that their author was expressing his personal opinions.
"My concerns about these Reagan-era memos were heightened when the White House rejected a reasonable request by Committee Democrats for documents written by the nominee when he served as Deputy Solicitor General in the first Bush Administration. The claim of attorney-client privilege to shield these documents was unpersuasive. This was stonewalling, plain and simple.
"In the absence of these documents, it was especially important for the nominee to fully answer questions from Committee members at his hearing. He did not do so adequately. Of course a judicial nominee should decline to answer questions regarding specific cases that will come before the court to which the witness has been nominated. But Judge Roberts refused to answer many questions more remote than that, including questions seeking his views of long-settled precedents.
"Finally, I was very swayed by the testimony of civil rights and women's rights leaders against confirmation. Congressman John Lewis is a civil rights icon and a personal hero of mine. When John Lewis says that John Roberts was on the wrong side of history and should not be confirmed, his view carries great weight with me.
"So I weigh Judge Roberts's fine resume and his two years of mainstream judicial service against the Reagan-era memos, the nominee's unsatisfactory testimony and the Administration's failure to produce relevant documents. I reluctantly conclude that the scale tips against confirmation.
"Some have accused Democrats of treating this nominee unfairly. Nothing could be further from the truth. Under the leadership of Chairman Specter and Ranking Member Leahy, the confirmation hearings in the Judiciary Committee were dignified. Each Democrat considered the nomination on the merits and approached the vote as a matter of conscience. Democrats have not employed any procedural tactics that we might have otherwise considered if the nominee were more extreme.
"The fact that some Democrats will vote no on this nomination is hardly unfair – we are simply doing our duty under the Constitution.
"In the fullness of time, John Roberts may well prove to be a fine Supreme Court Justice. I hope that he does, and if so I will happily admit that I was wrong in voting against his confirmation. But I have reluctantly concluded that this nominee has not satisfied the high burden that would justify my voting for his confirmation based on the current record."

About half of obese teenage girls and about a third of obese teen boys become severely obese by the time they are 30 - meaning they are 80 to 100 pounds over a healthy weight, the new research said.
Heavy teen-agers are often destined for skyrocketing weight gain in their 20s, a new study shows.
About half of obese teenage girls and about a third of obese teen boys become severely obese by the time they are 30 - meaning they are 80 to 100 pounds over a healthy weight, the new research said.
"We see a tremendous amount of weight gain during those years," said Penny Gordon-Larsen, senior author of the study and an associate professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
Other research has found that heavy children are more likely to become heavy adults. But this is one of the first studies to show what happens to teens who are obese - that is roughly 30 or more pounds over a healthy weight - as they reach adulthood.
Currently, about a third of children and adolescents in this country weigh too much, and two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese. Extra pounds put people at an increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and many types of cancer.
Gordon-Larsen and UNC colleagues reviewed national data on the height and weight records of almost 9,000 people ages 12 to 21 who were followed for 13 years. Among findings, reported in Wednesday's Journal of the American Medical Association:
- About three-quarters of severely obese teens remained that heavy at age 30.
- Only 1 percent to 2 percent of normal-weight teens became severely obese by the time they were 30.
Normal-weight adolescents gained an average of 37 pounds from their teen years to age 30. Their average height was 5-foot-7.
Some weight gain is normal as teens move from the end of childhood into adulthood and their frames fill out with muscle and they reach their adult height, Gordon-Larsen said.
But there are other reasons why people this age gain so much, she said. This is an action-packed decade with people going to college, getting married, having babies, starting new jobs.
They often exercise less than they did when they were in high school or college, and they may eat in restaurants more and fall victim to large portion sizes, she said.
"They are not building exercise into their daily routine. They are not moving a lot during their regular day," Gordon-Larsen said. "We know that you need a high level of daily physical activity - about an hour to an hour and a half a day - if you want to lose or maintain your weight."
Natalie The, lead author of the study and a UNC researcher, said people tend to gain a few pounds every year, and over 10 years, "those few pounds can add up to a substantial weight gain."
Young adults should be aware of this and figure out how to eat healthy and move more, she said.

Republicans aimed criticism at U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice Thursday for havingmodest stakes in companies that did business with Iran. And while the revelation has driven new questions and fodder for those opposing her nomination as secretary of state, one of Rice's most vocal critics, Senator John McCain, maintains investments in two of the same companies -- ENI and Royal Dutch Shell --through funds revealed in his financial disclosures.
McCain holds stock holds between $1,000-$15,000 in the JPMorgan International Value Fund through his spouse, according to his 2011 financial disclosure form. 3.6% of the fund is currently invested in Royal Dutch Shell, the dutch oil company whichowes Iran more than $1 billion in oil payments.
John McCain Has Same Iranian Business Investments As Susan Rice -- The likely next Secretary of State's leading critic can't fault her on this one.

WAMSLEY-L ArchivesArchiver > WAMSLEY > 1998-05 > 0895985428
From: "Kathryn Bassett" <>
Subject: [WAMSLEY-L] NEWSLETTER #8
Date: Sat, 23 May 1998 21:50:28 -0700
No connection to my knowledge. According to the 1885 and 1895 census
information, my Edward J. Wamsley b. 1820-
21 in Ireland, d. between 1885 and 1895 (spouse, Mary Ann Cosgrove Wamsley,
listed as widow in 1895 census). As
of the 1885 census, Edward (64) and Mary (60) had resided in Reno Twp.,
Co., MN for a period of at least 15
years. I have unconfirmed information that Edward J. and Mary Byrn
Wamsley married in Kentucky in mid-
1850's. This was Mary Byrn Cosgrove's second marriage (first husband
Cosgrove). Mary had 3 or possibly 4
children by Michael Cosgrove, which may have included her daughter, Mary Ann
Wamsley Kane, b. 3 March 1854, d. 2
Dec. 1910. I have no information to date on parents or siblings of Edward
Jim Hamilton asked about some specific Wamsleys in Kentucky. I do not have
any of those names in my database, but
my notes show that we do have at least one family who migrated to KY:
(1752-1866), s/o John WAMSLEY
and Judith DORCUS, m. Margaret "Comfort" Ingram 1776. Children: Thomas m.
Rebecca STEWART in Montgomery Co.,
KY; Elizabeth m. James ELLEDGE; John b. 1787 m. Sarah ______ in Montgomery
Co., KY; and (daughter) WAMSLEY m.
______ RIGGS. Could there be a connection? >>
It seems unlikely. My Edward J. born Ireland, 1820-21, according to current
Jim Hamlton
Mary Ann,
You are right about the union of Margaret Talbott and John Alonzo Gibson. I
have not been able to find anyone who can
tell me anything about it. S. Margaret Talbott's marriage to John Gibson
passed on by oral family history. My
grandfather told my father that the couple had 3 girls - Virginia, Belle,
Sally. No one in my immediate family has any
idea what happened to those daughters. I have tried writting to a couple of
Gibson researchers, but have not heard
from them. My grandfather told some of his children that John Gibson taught
him carpentry. Another mystery:
Margaret's oldest son Elisha died in 1905. The records of Primitive Baptist
Church Cemetary state that he was the son
of Margaret Wamsley (not Gibson). Anyone have any ideas?
I have Janes and Williams, but could not make a connection to yours. Do you
have a birth date for William? I have these
Lamberts: Alfred Yokum Lambert, Gordon Lambert, William F.
mbert. -Wanda
Mary Ann pointed out to me that some of my Robinson information is wrong.
were the children of James William
Robinson (1704-1781) and Mary Margaret McKinney (1712-1781)? -Wanda
Seeking Lyle Martin, researching Wamsleys in Minnesota 1870 - 19xx. Last
known to be living in St. Cloud. MN. Please
e-mail with any information.

Wanda -- I just got this message from Shirley Toohey, who has run across a
WAMSLEY researcher on her genealogy
association list in CA. How are you at getting "snail mail" written? I'm
terrible and I know I will not get around to
contacting this person for a long time -- here's Shirley's message, in case
you can find time to drop a note re the
". . . just rec'd this surname index from my WAGS group ( Whittier Area
Genealogical Society) Never get to meetings (it was Sat.) but
my friend picked up my index.
First off checked to see who was being researched! Found a Wamsley
...Samuel m. in Harrison Co, WV 1796. That is only clue but the person
who is member that is researching this Wamsley family is Juanita O.
Rose, 13908 E. Glenn Dr. , Whittier, CA 90605-2615
with pho #562-693-2050. No e-mail add. given."
Mary Ann
I just got a letter from Jean Snyder Loudin the other day. She has done
research on Wamsley and some of the
related families. She said that Andrew Marcellus Wamsley is recorded as
Andrew Marchial Wamsley in the family's
She also gave me some Talbott information that tied together a lot of the
information that I have gotten from Mary Ann,
Sue, and Shirley.

west of Meadowville. When the division in
the Baptist denomination came in 1838-39, Bethel remained with the
conservative group and hence is known as a
Primitive Baptist Church. The log church was used until 1870's when it was
torn down and replaced by a frame church
which in turn served the congregation until 1944 when it was leveled by a
tornado. A new church stands on the same
site. Source: "FIRST CHURCH IN BARBOUR COUNTY ESTABLISHED AT MEADOWVILLE IN

hickory nuts under it Dennis
Mary Ann,
As a source for Matthew, father of Judith Dorcus, I have "data by Gary
Wamsley of Loveland, Colorado. References
research by Francis Yocum." I think I may have gotten this from a gedcom on
the ARFHS site.(??)

Dennis - tell more about the place you mentioned above. I have never been
West Virginia and don't know what you
are talking about. Thanks, Wanda
I noticed the addition of WilburW683 to the list -- could this be the
Harvey Wamsley who originally sent me the OH
Mary Ann
I sent a request for our newsletter to be added to Cyndi Howell's list of
family newsletters at her genealogy site.
However, she is very backed up and is still answering requests from
The ARFHS site lists a "Wamsley Cemetary near Valley Bend, 1/4 mile from
Tygart River Bridge. Get permission from
Andy Wamsley." Does anyone know who he is? Does anyone know which Wamsleys
are buried in that cemetary?
I would like to find out where my great-grandfather, George Fisher Wamsley,
buried. His wife and one son that I
know of are buried in the Brick Church Cemetary. The last place he lived,
the best of my knowledge, was
Huttonsville. Is there anyone who can tell me where I should start?
George Fisher Wamsley was born August 10, 1845 in Randolph County, West
Virginia and died February 21, 1881. He
was the son of Andrew Marcellus Wamsley and Mary Harper. He married S.
Margaret Talbott March 29, 1866.
Thanks and please keep your info coming in. A few words are just as welcome
as several pargraphs of family history.
Later - Wanda
