Mayors weigh merits of a North Shore police force
West Vancouver's mayor is open to the possibility of a regional police force
While a regional police force across Metro Vancouver doesn't appear likely to come anytime soon, things are looking quite promising on the North Shore.
Residents of the District of West Vancouver are happy with their local police. That said, their mayor is open to the idea of forming a single force with the municipality's two North Vancouver neighbours, which are patrolled by the RCMP.
The City of North Vancouver and the District of North Vancouver are waiting for the results of a study the two municipalities commissioned to set out options should they exit the 20-year contract they signed with the Mounties last summer.
"Now, if they were to decide that they want to look at, for example, a North Shore or regional police, then we would obviously be happy to sit down and discuss with them," West Vancouver mayor Michael Smith told the Georgia Straight in a phone interview. "But they have to make the decision first whether or not that's the direction they want to go in."
Smith emphasized that West Vancouver would move toward joining a North Shore–wide police force if there were financial and other advantages for the municipality.
According to the mayor, West Vancouver spends about $13 million annually on police services. "As a matter of policy, I don't think West Vancouver council could afford to ignore any potential area for cost savings," he said. "But, you know, I would stress that our citizens are very happy with our status quo. And we would need to be convinced that there was going to be at least an equal level of service and a substantial saving before there would be any interest on our part."
Smith acknowledged that an immediate concern for West Vancouver is its long-identified need to move its police headquarters to a new site. A modern public-safety building that will house the police department and a fire station will cost at least $39.5 million, according to a staff report.
In 2009, the three North Shore municipalities contracted consultancy firm Perivale + Taylor to review their policing services. In their report, the consultants identified the establishment of a North Shore regional police force as one of a number of directions the local governments can take.
"This model would provide the opportunity to take advantages [sic] of the greater economies of scale and would assist the implementation of the recommended consolidations of telecommunications, detention facilities, and crime analysis, and 24/7 uniform deployment," the report stated.
The consultants also pointed out that although municipalities policed by the RCMP would lose a federal subsidy to cover 10 percent of their contract costs, this "could potentially be balanced" by a lower cost per officer.
District of North Vancouver mayor Richard Walton noted that he's "nervous" about decisions his municipality has to make in connection with the RCMP contract it shares with the City of North Vancouver.
"The challenge we have is the RCMP contract provides, as far as we can see, an almost unlimited opportunity for downloading costs without any control," Walton told the Straight in a phone interview. "And the contract that we've all been required to sign doesn't address many of the issues, such as future costing and the cost of the new RCMP headquarters out in Surrey. So we don't have the assurances that any government should in entering into a long-term contract for services. And it's just bad business to do that."
He recalled that the two North Vancouver municipalities reluctantly signed the RCMP contract because if they didn't before a certain deadline, responsibility for policing in their respective jurisdictions would have been taken over by the B.C. government.
The RCMP contract includes an opt-out clause in which municipalities have to give two years' notice in order to break the contract. "If you want to set up your own regional or local police, it would probably take a minimum of two-and-a-half years to set up the infrastructure and train," Walton said. "It's not a small decision at all. Apparently, there's no community in Canada that has withdrawn [from the RCMP] and gone private."
SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said in a phone interview with the Straight that a North Shore regional police force makes sense. However, he also stated that any move toward creating a regional police in the district is likely to be opposed by people like Peter Lepine, who became West Vancouver's chief constable in 2009 following a 30-year career with the RCMP.

RESIDENTS have vowed to fight plans for a major new £80m business park in Bicester they have branded a "monstrosity".
Albion Land wants outline planning approval to develop a large site on the corner of Middleton Stoney Road and Howes Lane, in Bicester. The development could create up to 1,200 jobs.
A plan unveiled last month showed five three-storey warehouses of between 80,000 sq ft and 200,000 sq ft, and two smaller office blocks.
After criticism from residents, access has been switched from Howes Lane to Middleton Stoney Road.
But people living on the Greenwood estate say that is not enough and they still have concerns over noise, pollution, increased traffic and potential flooding. They say the development is more suited to the edge of town, nearer junction nine of the M40, and away from homes.
A petition has now been launched against the scheme. Albion Land's application seeks approval for firms to use the 50-acre site for production processes, distribution and logistics, and it could operate 24 hours a day.
But Susan Harding, of Isis Avenue, said it was "precariously close" to her house.
She said: "I suspect we are going to suffer from lorry noise, pollution and vibration damage."
She also raised concerns about future flooding and drainage because the development would be built on farmland.
Bicester West district councillor Les Sibley also opposes the scheme. He said: "The access change is a small victory but the battle rages on.
"It's going to be terrible, looking out over garden fences at that monstrosity."
Albion Land managing director Kelvin Pearce said businesses had shown "serious interest".
He added: "Converting this investment interest into the provision of real jobs and new economic activity now lands in the 'in-tray of the planning officer dealing with this application."
If plans are approved, work could start next summer.

Still think it would be cool to own a center console boat for bigger water fun. Enjoyed saying hello to the good folks at the Skiers Choice booth, staffed by guys from the Lauderdale Lakes Marina and Ultimate Wake Watersports dealerships. Saw the setup for the Rail Jam, but did not see the show. I did catch the dog jump competition. Man, that is fun to watch. Plans for a 2011 summer slalom ski weekend w/ top level gear, private lake, and qualified coaching is moving forward. Will be located in the Chicago area. More details after the boat shows are over. Enjoy the pics.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: South Sudanese government and rebel representatives adjourned direct negotiations on a cease-fire agreement Monday as opposition forces advanced on the capital of the country's second-biggest oil producing state.
Talks will resume on Tuesday on a proposed accord presented by East African mediators last week, Mabior Garang, a spokesman for the rebels, said Monday in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, where the negotiations are being held. Discussions were adjourned so the two sides can consult on the issues of detainees, a state of emergency in the states of Jonglei and Unity and the presence of foreign troops, he said.
Rebel forces are "closing in" on Malakal, capital of Upper Nile state, and expect to capture the town within 24 hours, Brigadier-General Lul Ruai Koang, a spokesman for the rebels, said in an emailed statement Monday. He also said government forces were defeated in Juba county on Sunday.
The conflict erupted in the world's newest nation on December 15 after President Salva Kiir accused former Vice President Riek Machar of trying to stage a coup, a charge Mr Machar denies. The dispute escalated into clashes between members of Kiir's ethnic Dinka community and Machar's Nuer group. The death toll from the fighting is approaching 10,000, according to the International Crisis Group, while the United Nations says about 395,000 people have been forced to flee their homes.
The rebels last week dropped their demand that 11 politicians detained when the violence began be freed as a prerequisite for talks to start. The US, the UN and the European Union have called for the release of the prisoners, who've been held without charge.
The insurgents are prepared to sign a cease-fire without the prisoners' release, opposition spokesman Hussein Mar Nyuot said in an interview.
"We've not dropped the issue of detainees; we've dropped it as a precondition to create a better atmosphere for the government to also reciprocate and give concessions as well," Mr Garang said "Sunday.
South Sudanese Information Minister Michael Makuei said on Monday that rebel forces had "badly destroyed" oil fields in Unity state, where government forces last week recaptured the capital, Bentiu. Mr Nyuot denied the claim.
"This is a false accusation," he said. "We need these resources for the development of our country."
South Sudan has sub-Saharan Africa's largest oil reserves after Nigeria and Angola, according to BP data. Since gaining independence in July 2011, it's been exporting its crude - about 245,000 barrels a day - through pipelines across Sudan. The fighting has cut output to about 200,000 barrels daily, according to the government. Oil exports provide more than 95 percent of state revenue.
The fighting has halted most of South Sudan's oil production, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, assistant secretary of state for African affairs, told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, last week.
"There's some oil left in the pipeline but much of the pumping has ceased," she said.
Companies including China National Petroleum Corp. and India's Oil & Natural Gas Corp. have evacuated employees from the country.
The East Africa Law Society Monday called for the removal from South Sudan of foreign troops, including Ugandan forces, who aren't sanctioned by the African Union or the UN as they "do nothing but fuel the conflict." The UN Security Council released a statement on Monday saying its members "discouraged external intervention that could exacerbate" existing tensions.
Uganda deployed troops in the country last month to prevent the conflict from escalating into "genocide," the state-run New Vision reported on January 8, quoting army chief General Katumba Wamala.
As many as 5000 refugees are fleeing South Sudan daily to neighbouring Uganda, the UN Refugee Agency said Monday.

At age four or five, while visiting friends of the family, I was introduced to bruschetta, the crunchy slices of grilled French bread rubbed with garlic and drizzled with olive oil.
I called our host Barba and hostess Magna. An industrious couple, they were building their dream home amid a vineyard in Calistoga. Before the house was built, they lived below the ground where Barba had carved out a large cavern which would become the basement when building commenced.
There were wooden steps descending to the fascinating underground hide-away. In the summer it was at least 30 degrees cooler in Barba and Magna's temporary living quarters, a delightful retreat for a young child to run around barefoot on damp ground.
Magna was an excellent cook. She set an elegant table with good china, silver, and tasty dishes upon a large wooden table for her guests. There was spaghetti with meat sauce and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. A variety of vegetables from the garden were also served. Barba poured red wine from a dark green bottle in crystal wine glasses for the adults. It was in this unique underground room that I first tasted bruschetta.
I remember a plate piled high with slices of grilled hard-crusted bread accompanied by a large bowl of chopped tomatoes, onions, and fragrant garlic mixed with pungent seasonings. I delighted in spooning the tomato mixture onto the bread and letting the juice soak in before I took my first bite.
At the end of our visit, if there was any bruschetta left, Magna packed it up for me to take home, and she also tucked in a net bag filled with her favorite pastel Jordan almonds. Bruschetta still remains a favorite dish and brings back fond memories of hospitality and love.

Southlands development approved by Metro Vancouver despite staff objections
Metro Vancouver voted today (May 23) to allow the development of Southlands, a patch of contentious Tsawwassen-area farmland in Delta.
Regional district spokesperson Glenn Bohn told the Straight by phone that the decision was made in a 93-31 weighted vote.
Metro staff had recommended the rejection of the plan for 217.5 hectares of the property once known as the Spetifore farm.
The developer has proposed the donation of almost 80 percent of the property to Delta for agricultural use.
In a report that was included in the board's May 23 agenda, staff wrote that the housing development could set a precedent.
"A key concern is that approving the proposal may lead to greater development pressure on agricultural land across the region," the report states. "The vast majority of agricultural land in the region is privately owned."
The report notes that approval "could signal to private agricultural land owners that the strategy of dense development on one portion in exchange for public ownership of the rest is a desirable amenity".
"In turn, this message may lead to greater speculation on agricultural land and a proliferation of these types of applications across the region," the report notes.
Last month, Richmond councillor Harold Steves expressed reservations that his fellow directors at the Metro board may not do what their predecessors did 33 years ago.
Steves, who is vice chair of Metro's regional planning and agriculture committee, recalled that the previous Greater Vancouver Regional District turned down a proposal to develop Southlands.
"Back in 1981, Metro Vancouver said, 'This is a very serious regional issue,'" Steves told the Straight in a phone interview in April. "What I'm hearing from my colleagues [now] is, 'Oh, this is a Delta issue.'"

Adm. James Loy, administrator of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), has been promoted to second-in-command at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). He was selected over other higher-ranking officials in the Cabinet department.
The former Coast Guard commandant has won praise from members of Congress and industry for supervising the overhaul of the aviation security system and is widely respected for his work at the TSA, which includes other modes of transportation as well.
"Throughout his remarkable career of public service, Admiral Loy has demonstrated extraordinary management skills and a tireless work ethic," said Ed Bolen, General Aviation Manufacturers Association president. "For the past 18 months, he has developed an in-depth understanding of general aviation and has been very supportive of the industry's efforts to enhance security. We are looking forward to working with him in his new capacity as deputy secretary of Homeland Security."
At the TSA, Loy was liked for his frank, yet eager-to-please personality. Unlike predecessor John Magaw, he is knowledgeable about transportation issues. Under his watch, AOPA's airport-security program was implemented, complete with a TSA-operated hotline.

NEW YORK (May. 18)
Rep. Bella Abzug (D, NY) urged today that before President Ford meets Egyptian President Anwar Sadat in Salzburg, Austria, Ford should announce his support for the $2.5 billion in aid Israel has requested from the United States. She told the annual meeting of the New York Chapter of the American Jewish Committee at the Plaza Hotel that this must be done to convince Egypt that the U.S. is not wavering in its support for Israel.
Noting news reports that Sadat plans to ask Ford for funds to pay off Egypt's $47 billion debt to the Soviet Union, Ms. Abzug said if this was true it would be "a new definition of chutzpah," She said before the American people will provide any aid for Egypt that country must "make serious concessions for the state of peace."
Ms. Abzug charged that the Ford Administration has labelled Israel as intransigent and declared that it is time the Administration began pressuring Egypt to take steps toward peace. She said support for Israel is strong in the Congress and among the American people but an educational campaign must continue.
Some 200 people attended the luncheon at which the AJCommittee chapter presented its Stanley M. Isaacs Human Relations Award to Manhattan Borough President Percy Sutton and Irving M. Engel, the AJCommittee's honorary president. Peter J. Strauss, a New York attorney, was elected chapter president succeeding Daniel S. Shapiro.

Things to do while waiting for the kickoff to the next Chick-fil-A Bowl: Track down the new Adam Carolla book, "In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks."
Man up, the former "Man Show" co-creator and current podcast radio host rants. Next time you get a flat tire, change it yourself instead of grabbing a hand sanitizer and calling Triple-A like your wife or girlfriend would do.
And while we're on the subject of emasculation: Why did it take 30-some years for ESPN to finally start its own chick network?
Not that there are immediate plans for newly minted espnW to morph soon into the latest ESPN cable channel. If it happens, it'll be because of a demand for it and financial incentive for the Disney corporation.
For the time being, though, you've been warned. Those five letters represent the launch of a not-so-demure website blog, the planting of a beachhead to see who's initiated into sports media reform from the female perspective.
The mission statement reads: "A destination for women who are passionate sports fans and athletes. We hope you find it surprising, informative and inspiring, because we created it just for you."
For who? "The View"?
"It was conceived to serve females," espnW vice president Laura Gentile said, "but we're happy to have men enjoy it, too."
Go ahead, take the bait.
Gentile's pilot project into luring more women to ESPN's platforms of sports consumerism involved nearly two years of research to decide on the best form of infiltration.
The game plan here, as it fits in ESPN's big picture: Nurture more female viewers (its research shows that men make up more than 75 percent of all network viewership) beyond the Olympics, spelling bee or cheerleading shows. And then find out why there are dozens of hours of women's sports programming offered each week that go unnoticed by both genders.
To cut through the clutter of male-enhanced sports noise, espnW starts with a group of personalities posting mini-columns, such as Melissa Jacobs (thefootballgirl.com) and Sarah Spain (of ESPNChicago.com), plus former athletes Julie Foudy, Tamika Catchings, Summer Sanders and Jessica Mendoza.
Mendoza, the former Camarillo High, Stanford star and Olympic softball player, did her first piece on lessons learned from a recent women's self-esteem talk she heard Billie Jean King give at an espnW retreat.
"When I heard this was going to be a place for women's sports - high school, college and pro - things like Sports Illustrated for Women come and go because it seems like they're just thrown out there," said Mendoza, president of the Women's Sports Foundation and an ESPN college football sideline reporter. "I think it's cool for a female to know what's happening in men's sports, just as it's OK for guys to know what's going on with women's sports. I see this website doing that."
Gentile said the "pressure is self-imposed" to succeed with this out-of-TV-tube fertilization. Webstreaming of events -- women's more likely -- could come as an alternative way to launching another place on the cable box. Again, that's more long-range than immediate needs. Baby steps are the call for now, based on research.
"The three lessons we've learned from those kind of cautionary tales is that, one, you have to have a long-term commitment to develop and listen to the audience and mold the product," Gentile said. "There aren't very many overnight success stories in this business. You also need to do a lot of homework, and we've been methodical in our research. And then you need a dedicated team who is accountable and responsible and isn't treating this as a side project. We have support on all three of those."
Feedback from those who visited espnW.com during this week's launch comes from a survey in which they're asked to concede if they are a "woman (it's espnW after all)" or a "man (curious about this whole espnW thing)."
Mendoza said she asked her husband, Adam, to check out the site this week when they had some downtime at their Moorpark home.
"He rolled his eyes, and in his mind he had this picture of an all-women's thing, so I left him alone," she said. "I saw him reading some of the stories. The first question he asked me was, `Do they have an app for this?' "
Chick-ification is just a sports click away.
There's nothing left to chance in Wahlberg's boxing film
Consider the far-and-wide reach of HBO Sports this weekend:
To make the boxing scenes in the new Mark Wahlberg movie "The Fighter" look as authentic as possible, the producers borrowed HBO's original Beta video-format cameras and hired the crew and director who covered the three Micky Ward-Arturo Gotti bouts from 2002-03 to shoot it again.
"As a huge boxing fan, being authentic was the most important thing for me," said Wahlberg, who plays Ward and is one of the film's producers, recently told the Dan Patrick radio show. "We did it all in real time."
Director David O. Russell told Film Journal International the use of the eight HBO cameras "gave a certain look" and they "shot the fights in big, choreographed sections that were taken directly (from video of) Micky's actual fights."
HBO broadcasters Jim Lampley, Larry Merchant, Emanuel Steward, Roy Jones Jr., and George Foreman also are brought back to recreate the calls.
Wahlberg's previous connection with HBO: His company produces the network's "Entourage" and "Boardwalk Empire" series. Ward's half-brother and trainer Dickie Eklund, played by Christian Bale, also was chronicled in the 1995 HBO documentary "High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell."
Limited release of "The Fighter" starts today at the ArcLight Hollywood before it expands next week.
== HBO's latest picture-perfect documentary, supplemented by NFL Films' archives, is on the life of Vince Lombardi and debuts Saturday (8:30-10 p.m.). The key interviews are with his son Vincent, daughter Susan and brother Harold, along with former Green Bay Packers Bart Starr and Jerry Kramer.
An ESPN Films and NFL-produced movie version of Lombardi's life, starring Robert DeNiro, tentatively is set for release in January 2012.
== In the build-up to the Jan. 1 Winter Classic outdoor NHL game between Pittsburgh and Washington, HBO's award-winning "24/7" reality franchise focuses on the prep work and follow-up with a four-part series starting Wednesday (10-11 p.m.).
More episodes air on Dec. 22, 29 and Jan. 5. Liev Schreiber narrates.
What Smokes
== Fox Sport West's Chris McGee, John Jackson and Courtney Jones cover today's 7:30 p.m. CIF-Southern Section Northern Division title game between Oaks Christian and Westlake, which includes a live half-hour pre- and postgame show with Christian Miles and Jay Schroeder. The same crew does the Servite-Mission Viejo Pac-5 Division title game from Angel Stadium on Saturday (7:30 p.m.). FoxSportsWest.com has live video stream of the Inland Division title game between Vista Murrieta and Centennial (7:30 p.m. tonight) with Jim Watson and Tony Moskal. Prime Ticket's coverage of all five state championships games from Home Depot Center in Carson is Dec. 17-18.
== Even though there's an unfinished project out there on secluded Cubs fan Steve Bartman that keeps getting pushed back on a release date, ESPN officially finishes the groundbreaking "30 For 30" series with the airing of No.30 - "Pony Exce$$" at 6 p.m. Saturday, following the Heisman Trophy ceremony. This two-hour doc focuses on the SMU football program, once led by Eric Dickerson and Craig James, that ended up with the NCAA's first "death penalty" sanction in 1987. This week, ESPN also released the first 15 documentaries from the series in a six-DVD box set that retails for $74.95 (although we see Walmart already has undercut the competition by offering it online at $45.96).
What chokes
==The San Diego Chargers might have avoided another local TV blackout Thursday by selling the remainder of their Qualcomm Stadium tickets for Sunday's game against Kansas City, but does that really serve the best interests of the L.A. NFL audience? KCBS-Channel 2 picked the Chargers-Chiefs game as its 1 p.m. Sunday telecast, but a blackout would have excluded L.A. from carrying the game, and instead we could have seen AFC East-leading New England (10-2) at NFC North-leading Chicago (9-3), which by most measurements is the league's best game of the weekend. A matchup of the two teams vying for the AFC West title has some merit, but the weekly contention that, without an NFL team in L.A., Southern California viewers get to see the best game continues to be something of a myth.

Discount ammo
I am looking for websites that have good prices for factory ammo. I know you guys can give me a good selection of places to search. I might start reloading at some time in the future, but for right now I will save the brass and amass a stockpile to reload at some future time. Thanks in advance.:o
I have personally bought over 2500 rounds of various types of ammo from these guys.
They are at every monthly gun show, and have been for the last 3 or 4 years here locally. I have never had a problem with them and stock quality stuff, still in sealed cases, with generally very competitive prices.
I have turned a couple of guys here on the site on to them and they have e-mailed me saying they bought some themselves. I haven't heard a negative review yet....
Give them a try and see what you think....
I've bought amo and other stuff from

Symantec Releases Free Norton DNS Tool
Symantec presented a beta version of the free Norton DNS tool as part of their Norton Everywhere initiative this spring. Norton DNS is now out of beta, and it remains free for all to use.
DNS, the Domain Name System takes a human-readable domain name like pcmag.com and translates it into an IP address like 18.104.22.168. At its simplest, a secure DNS service prevents server-side attacks that can redirect normal web traffic to malicious sites. Most such services promise to process DNS requests faster than default servers and thus speed your surfing.
Norton DNS does more than just ensure that domain names are translated correctly. It relies on Symantec's site reputation services to identify and block dangerous sites such as phishing sites and those hosting malware. Your computer never comes close to connecting with these dangerous sites.
There are other options for secure DNS. OpenDNS offers a free basic service and paid plains aimed at business as well as the DNS-based FamilyShield Parental Controls. Comodo Secure DNS is free but pays for itself in part by redirecting site-not-found errors to ad-related search pages. Sunbelt's ClearCloud DNS service, now in beta, manages to do without the ads. Google's Public DNS made a splash last year. How do you choose?
Symantec has identified and solved one definite pain point for those interested in DNS-based security. Typically the switch to secure DNS has required users to dig deep into network configuration dialogs. That's fine for computer professionals, but daunting for the average user. Norton DNS offers two simple tools to make the switch, one for Windows and the other for Mac. Just download the appropriate tool from www.nortondns.com and run it to properly configure your network settings.
Using some form of secure DNS will definitely enhance your system's security. It keeps malicious web sites at arms length and doesn't require any software running on your local computer. The security-conscious will definitely want to try some or all of the free secure DNS products. And yes, quite likely Norton DNS will be the easiest one to try.

Changing repository location after selecting to save in IBM SPSS Statistics
Technote (troubleshooting)
In IBM SPSS Statistics after setting the repository user name, password and location including port number you select to save the settings.
If the server details of where you are connecting to change you can not readily change them as the settings are saved and you are no longer prompted.
The selection is made in the pop up window titled as:
Repository: Credentials
The tick box is labelled as "Remember repository and user ID
The problem occurs as you have told it to save the setting as you do not want to have to enter or confirm the details each time you use the application and connect to the repository.
These settings are actually controlled by the Java API, which in turn, is controlled by the Windows Registry.
This was tested under a Windows environment as the settings are stored in the system registry.
Resolving the problem
Please have your IT team edit the following registry entry using REGEDIT and the following steps.
Go to the following registry key:
Edit the following parameters to the customer's specifications:
- hostname
- port
A side note is that IBM SPSS Modeler will use the same registry key when connecting to a C&DS Repository.
So making this one change will affect the behaviour of both of our products.

Archives of Irish America
The Archives of Irish America is part of the Tamiment Library. This important collection documents the Irish Diaspora in America, its relationship to the American labor movement, to New York City history, and to American culture and society in general.
Established in 1997 as part of New York University's Division of Libraries and with the support of Glucksman Ireland House, the Archives of Irish America is a repository of primary research materials that assists students, faculty and visiting scholars in evaluating the Irish impact on the history of American social and cultural development, and the evolution over time of a distinctive Irish-American identity.
The collection is strong in activities related to immigration issues, support for Irish Republicanism, music and other aspects of popular culture, and Irish Cultural Organizations based in the New York City area. The majority of materials are 20th century and later.
The Archives is home to the Mick Moloney Irish-American Music and Popular Culture Collection, one of the largest collections in the U.S. for the study of Irish-American music and popular culture. Items range from commercial recordings to 19th century postcards and sheet music to field recordings and interviews of artists and activists in the Irish traditional music world in the United States and abroad made or collected by Dr. Moloney.
Researchers may browse a list of Archives of Irish America Collections or search finding aids.
Please see the research visits and library services page for information about using the collections. Please contact the Tamiment Library for more information.
The Archives of Irish America was made possible by the generosity of the Irish Institute of New York and the Melvin Rauch Foundation, by the wise guidance of the late Dr. Debra Bernhardt of the Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at NYU, and by the dedicated efforts of Professor Marion R. Casey.

Adele has become a household name around the world. Her voice and character resonate with the old and young. She captures hearts with her transcendent voice and meaningful lyrics.
Adele has garnered many awards since she first appeared on the scene in 2006. Her first album, "19," led to Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance of 2009. Her sophomore album, "21," which featured her hit "Rolling in the Deep," was a major hit, garnering her another six Grammys in one night – she is one of the few artists in Grammy history to accomplish this feat.
In late 2015, Adele released her single "Hello," which broke records! It was the first song to sell more than a million downloads in its first week. Adele's third and most recent album, "25," soon followed and broke the single-week US sales record previously held by '90s heartthrob band NYSNC. Adele's music speaks to all generations, and she is truly the epitome of a superstar.

Residents in three houses were evacuated and their road, Anne Sladon Street, was blocked off Thursday because of a natural gas leak, officials said.
The leak beneath the road, near Avenida Descanso, was reported about 8 a.m. Police, fire and the San Diego Gas & Electric Co. were called in.
Oceanside police Lt. Mike Goldsmith said one home was evacuated right away, and two others were evacuated about 10:30 a.m. after utility crews dug into the ground and more gas fumes were released.
Repair workers pinched off the line so the gas couldn't escape. Full repairs are expected by 6:30 p.m., SDG&E spokeswoman Allison Zaragoza said.

Organization buying process involves the decision-making by which formal organizations establish the need for purchased products and services and identify, evaluate, and choose among alternative brands and suppliers. Organizational buying process has certain parameters which are discussed as follows
A. Organizational consumer expectations refer to the perceived potential of alternative suppliers and brands to satisfy buying objectives.
B. Expectations are based on the backgrounds of those participating in the buying process, the information received, perceptions, and satisfaction with past purchases.
A. The organizational buying process is similar to the final consumer buying process.
B. The organizational buying process may involve autonomous or joint decision making.
C. Under competitive bidding, the potential seller specifies all terms and specifications in writing. With open bidding, competitors see bids. With closed bidding, contract terms are kept secret and sellers are asked to present their best bids first.
A. Conflict resolution is sometimes necessary in joint decision making due to the diverse backgrounds and perspectives of purchasing agents, engineers, and users.
B. Conflicts can be settled in the following ways:
1. Problem solving occurs when it is decided to acquire more information before making a decision. This is the most effective method.
2. With persuasion, members of the purchasing team present reasons why a particular choice should be made. Often, the most persuasive speaker wins.
A. Situational factors (such as price controls, recession, or foreign trade; internal strikes, walkouts, machine breakdowns, and other production-related events; organizational changes such as merger or acquisition; and ad hoc changes in the marketplace, such as promotional efforts, new-product introduction, price changes, and so on) can intervene between the organization buying process and the actual selection of a supplier or brand.
A. After the decision process is completed and situational factors are taken into consideration, the purchase is made (or the process terminated).
B. Feedback is stored for future use.
C. Regular service and follow-up calls are essential.

Samsung also could face at the same time, a cease and desist order that would prevent the company from selling large quantities of infringing products in the U.S. At the same time, Samsung could be required to post a bond equal to 88% of the value of all mobile phones, 32.5% of the value of mobile players and 37.6% of the value of all tablets that were ruled to have infringed on Apple's patents, during the Presidential review period. Samsung argued that a royalty rate of 4.9% was more appropriate.
Judge Thomas Pender
These are just some of the remedies that could be used against Samsung. The commission still needs to vote on Pender's ruling, and the designarounds seem to mean that it is still business as usual in the states for Samsung, at least for now.

Sniper shows how it's done
A display of Marksmanship par excellence...and I love the casually clueless look on the gunman's face as he gets crash-tackled lol
So funny :D
Sniper Shoots Gun From Criminal Hand -Allpics4u
That gets better every time I see it.
Wha>>huh?????? BOOM!!! :D
I remember that incident and the interview with the sniper that made the shot. He used a frangible bullet so there wouldn't be metal shrapnel flying around. The officers that swarmed the gunman did so in the name of safety because they didn't know whether the guy had another gun or not. And the guy's comment to the sniper as he's led away is priceless:
"Are you the one that made that shot? Good one."
That was inthe late 80's early 90's. I don't think they had "frangible" ammo as we know it today. Technically a Sierra 168 gr BTHP IS frangible, just not like the compressed powdered copper bullets of today.
I HATE that video, Because of that video, every douche bag asks after an officer involved shooting "why did'nt they just shoot the gun out of his hand?". Because that was a once in a lifetime opportunity shot, now shut the eff up.
I'm with Robo on this one.
I remember seeing a detailed story about this one and the guy who took the shot was a former military sniper.
He was talking in the story that his previous training had taught him to recognize patterns of movement that most people don't immediately pick up on. After watching the guy for about 20 or so minutes, he picked up on the way the guy gestured with, then returned, the pistol to the same spot each time, probably out of comfort or habit.
He made the suggestion to shoot the gun twice, and the first time it was flat turned down because it was considered too risky. Again he made the request and explained what he was seeing, confirmed by another shooter who was beside him at the time, and the background behind the guy was clear.
He was given the green light by a guy that wasn't even on the scene yet, according to the story, but the commanding officer was the guy who had got the shooter on the SWAT team and knew he had the skill to pull it off.
Definitely a once in a blue moon type of shot. Close range chip shot for a .308, with a cold bore, on a small, non flat surface target that could move at any moment if the guy suddnely sneezed or got aggitated.
Definitely one hell of a shooter. *respect*

text: It feels like forever ago that we were designing Abby Larson's (founder of Style Me Pretty) house in Massachusetts. While the full reveal of the house won't be published until the next issue of Domino magazine, there were a few sneak peeks, like her dining room below, in the first issue (photo credit: Brittany Ambridge for Domino magazine).You may remember when we found the pedestal table, below left, for Abby at one of our favorite Antique dealers last Spring. We love round dining tables, especially in square rooms. We were drawn to the lovely grey patina and elaborate pedestal base of this table. An added bonus of this piece is that it has two leaves that can be added to turn it into a long, oval table–perfect for when Abby has company. The leaves will also come in handy if Abby ever moves into a house with a larger dining room; we're always on the look-out for pieces that can grow with our clients, that they can bring with them from home to home for a lifetime. This dining room table is definitely one of those pieces! Here's the table as we found it (it would actually also make a beautiful center hall table with a collection of blue and white ginger jars). A close up detail of the pale blue painted ring around the outer edge of the table. Here's what the table looks like with all of its leaves in place. Remember when we asked your opinion on which chairs looked best with the table? We ended up going with this style, but finding a more affordable, reproduction of Antique Swedish ones below. We used a natural linen fabric for the window treatments in the dining room to keep things casual and not too dressy. Looking forward to sharing the rest of the house with you in the next issue of Domino!

THE iconic £600 million Mersey Gateway could inadvertently turn Runcorn into a flourishing tourist attraction.
Feeder roads leading to the existing Silver Jubilee bridge blocked the top flight of Bridgewater Canal locks, leaving the town a dead end for boaters.
But, now as bridge traffic will be re-directed to the new crossing, slip roads will be dismantled, paving the way to restore the canal link.
Residents have launched an unlock Runcorn campaign to raise awareness and kickstart plans to fund the ambitious project, set to cost millions.
They plan to stage a 'big dig' in August to demonstrate their determination.
Campaigner Noel Hutchinson, aged 45, from The Heath, said:"We can ultimately unlock the potential of the old town, bring money in. Shopkeepers are behind it as we could regenerate the area.
"If successful, this would mean that a huge amount of tourists would suddenly start to pass through the old town with all the spin offs that can have for the community.
"The new route would be vastly attractive as it would create a second Cheshire ring, linking us to the Manchester Ship Canal, the Weaver Navigation, Anderton Boat Lift and Norton Priory."
Halton MP Derek Twigg joined Runcorn Locks Restoration Society to walk along the route of the old canal.
He said: "This offers an opportunity to move the project forward but it will need the support of all the relevant bodies to help it to come to fruition.
"I have promised to work with campaigners and Halton Council."

Identity Thief
Runtime 112 minutes.
Not for children.
Women are irrational; that's all there is to that.
Their heads are full of cotton, hay, and rags.
Henry Higgins.
Cary Grant was Hollywood's master at displaying the frustration a reasonable man has in dealing with an irrational woman. He did it with Irene Dunne, Katharine Hepburn, and other leading ladies of the '30s and '40s.
If Grant has an acceptable successor in the 21st century, it is Jason Bateman. Here he is a husband with a good job who finds his credit destroyed by Melissa McCarthy, who steals his identity and runs wild 2,000 miles away. Jason takes off to find her and reclaim his reputation. Melissa defines what Prof. Higgins thought was irrationality.
Even if a movie isn't wonderfully terrific throughout, if it contains a line that can make me laugh uncontrollably I will probably give it a good rating. This movie, however, has both. It is wonderfully terrific throughout, and it does contain one line that had me laughing uncontrollably in the movie and still has me laughing when I think about it now.
While Bateman and McCarthy give award-quality performances (forget that, though; when's the last time a comedy got rewarded by the Academy, It Happened One Night?), the supporting cast is equally good, especially Genesis Rodriguez, who plays a killer pursuing McCarthy (and who delivers the line that had me in stitches) and her partner killer T.I. But they aren't alone in fine performances; Robert Patrick winningly plays a skiptracer also pursuing McCarthy, and Jon Favreau is deliciously hateful as Bateman's boss from hell.
Frankly, I wasn't looking forward to this film. The trailer didn't entice me and I'm not a fan of McCarthy's performance in Bridesmaids. I'm a fan now, though. She shows admirable range here.
The film has a brilliant script (Craig Mazin) and direction (Seth Gordon, who directed one of my favorite comedies from 2011, Horrible Bosses). I hesitate to give credit to the line that broke me up to Mazin alone because it might have been the director's idea to do it the way it's handled, but Mazin might have written it that way, too. Whatever, this line and the way it's delivered is so funny and unexpected it epitomizes something that was so perfectly stated by Robert De Niro, playing a man who was clearly based on Irving Thalberg in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Last Tycoon, when he was describing a scene to a fledgling director. He said that a man walks into a room, places a nickel on the table, and then goes on to tell what the man did then, completely ignoring the nickel on the table. After De Niro finishes telling the scene without mentioning the nickel again, the fledgling director scratched his head and asked De Niro, "But what's the nickel?" De Niro responds, "That's the movies!"
Runtime 108 minutes.
Not for children.
This is a well-made but disturbing story of a 14-year-old girl (Saskia Rosendahl), her sister, brother, and infant sibling, who are basically abandoned by their German parents after V-E Day in 1945 and have to walk hundreds of miles across the devastated German countryside to find respite with her grandmother in Hamburg.
While it sounds like it could be a great adventure film, it is so stark and realistic that there's no romance involved. Although it involves a long walk across Germany, this isn't Saving Private Ryan, but a cinéma-vérité look at what it was like to be German after the annihilation of World War II.
Directed (and co-written with Robin Mukherjee) by Cate Shortland, who was responsible for the remarkably entertaining Somersault, which won multiple awards in 2004 by the Australian Film Institute for best picture and best director, among others, this is a dark, unforgiving story based on the book The Dark Room by Rachel Seiffert. Co-starring Kai Malina as the mysterious boy/man who joins Saskia in her trek, while another story of a young woman in a difficult position, this is much blacker and more unrewarding.
There are some sexual scenes and short shots of nudity that make the film inappropriate for children.
The performances by Rosendahl and Malina are very good, but the story is so unremittingly depressing that it's not the kind of film one would choose for an evening's entertainment.
Shortland is a talented director, and this film is well done, but I hope that her next choice is more palatable. Movies are an entertainment. While this presents a stark picture of what life was really like in Germany after the end of fighting, it is not pleasant to watch.

- How to Read a Study Record
There are two commonly used methods to remove chest tubes following thoracotomy. One is to remove the chest tube at maximum inspiration, (patient is asked to take a deep breath in and hold it), and the other is to pull the chest tube at maximum expiration,(patient is asked to blow out as much air as they can can and hold it). There has been considerable discussion among Thoracic surgeons that one of these two methods may decrease the risk of pneumothorax, the most common complication associated with chest tube removal. The investigators will compare the two methods, and also identify risk factors of developing pneumothorax during chest tube removal.

Computer lab benefactor to be treated to personal thanks at facility grand opening
Media Advisory
What: Computer lab benefactor to be treated to personal thanks at facility grand opening
When: Oct. 24 (Wednesday), 10:30 a.m.
Where: Young Women's Leadership Academy, 2123 Huisache Ave.
Students at the all-girls Young Women's Leadership Academy will now have additional resources to support the school's technology focus and nurture creativity thanks to a new computer lab and editing and design software donated by the Harvey E. Najim Family Foundation.
On Wednesday, a classroom of students will thank Mr. Najim, executive chairman of Sirius Computer Solutions, Inc., during an opening event at the school, where the girls also will showcase the more advanced work they can do on the new Dell computers, using the Adobe Creative Suite and Photoshop software programs. The $58,432 grant, awarded to the SAISD Foundation for this project, paid for 29 new computers, as well as software licenses.
However, the gift goes beyond hardware and software, with female members of the Sirius Computer Solutions executive leadership team expected to attend the event to provide their insights and experience to the young women. The Young Women's Leadership Academy, San Antonio's first all-girls public school, opened in August 2008 as a tuition-free college-preparatory school that focuses on math, science and technology.
Last year, two students produced a short documentary about the historic pecan shellers strike using video taken on their mobile phones and edited on their home computers. The girls' project made it to the National History Day Competition in Washington, D.C., last summer, and Principal Delia McLerran believes the new computers and editing software will allow the girls to compete at an even greater level this year – just one example of the positive impact of the donation.

Dear Friends,
I am an ind, I vote for who ever is best for the USA NOT WHO IS A DEM OR REP. Obama said he was a radical and had all radical friends. Level the playing field MY ASS, THIS GUY IS RADICAL, A LIAR and a SOCIALIST, ASS HOLE. God is right, Obama is a left lying ass hole. Obama just sucks up to the athiests, Anti God, Gay fricken nut bags and than backs the illegals. We have like 46 million on welfare and we still kiss the asses of the illegals. WHO is running this damn country anyways. We have 15 million illegals when do we start to worry about US ???? We can not allow illegals to ALL Come Here.
We need jobs and we need money. We allow every fricken illegal to come here WHEN WE NEED THOSE JOBS. We forgive debt of others when we owe 16 trillion. How can we be so fricken stupid ???? Obama did nothing but in little minds they think he did. I mostly stay mostly on the right because of GOD. Obama is for gay marriage, ASS HOLE. You can like gay marriage all you want but God is right and Obama is a LIAR, Socialist, Radical ASS HOLE. Look around the world, ASS HOLES run this world and Obama is the worst one. TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMY ASS HOLE. OBAMA, WORST PRESIDENT EVER.
Obama NEVER would have gotten in back when GOD was here. Obama took God out of his convention, STUPID. No matter what Obama does wrong there are enough losers that think well of this ASS HOLE. All we have on our side is GOD, we will have to see if that is enough. I do not think there is enough God left any more. Obama has all of the losers, athiests, antiGOD and just ASS HOLES on his side. The dreams of his father must be to destroy AMERICA. Obama has not told the truth since i do not know WHEN. The worst president EVER.
WASTED MONEY ON SOLYNDRA and others. Trying to sue the mining industries. Saying sorry for America and spreading the wealth. Spending trillions on JACK SHIT. He said he would cut our debt, LIAR. He spent 5 trillion without even getting kissed after. Obama should be shot not running this country. His BS health Care bull shit with his electric BS not far behind. I wish the fricken retards would wake the hell up, AT LEAST OPEN ONE EYE. This is not about Romney but what the hell Obama has done. He has spent 5 trillion on shit, ASS HOLE.
Obama has done more to destroy America than to fix us. He has "F"ed with all of our enemies. He throws Israel under the bus, ASS HOLE. Obama has done shit but nobody cares, ASS HOLES. If it were me I would kick Obama the hell out of America and send the "F"ed up media with him. I hope they are ok with that ASS HOLE for another four years. I guess we know who to blame WHEN EVERYTHING FAILS. Obama seeked out radical, marxists, communists and socialists, ASS HOLE. Obama said he would cut the budget but added to it big time. OBAMA is by far the worst thing that could happen to America. Obama is so full of SHIT.
Nobody remembers Bill Ayers, Rev Right or any of the other LOSERS. I am fricken poor now I doubt Romney could hurt me at all. I know Obama could totally ruin America. I do not want to give the rich peoples money away THAT THEY EARNED. Why is Obama starting a rich verses poor war ???? Give the riches money to the crack heads ???? I am sure Obama is getting votes somehow or he would not do it. I feel sorry for those who does not see what a total loser and ASS HOLE he is. No hope and change, no open goverrnment, BULL SHIT. He did not cut the fricken budget AS HE SAID, MORE BS.
Obama just drank, smoked pot and did blow, HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL. I use this to show my kids that he is FUCKED UP IN THE HEAD. He has a plan for America and it does not include YOU OR ME. DID OBAMA tell you how he intends on paying China back ???? People have been running America for hundreds of years, now we have OBAMA F---ing everything up. I think we have a lot of Americans that should NOT VOTE. Why do we have to have illegals decide our president ???? Democrats always have an edge because they have all of the sinners, anti God, athiests, gays, unions and illegals. Obama the worst PRESIDENT EVER.
Obama seeked out nothing but radical ass holes and appointed radicals as czars. YOU WILL NOT LIKE Where Obama is taking us, YOU WILL BE SO SORRY. So many people say it is a race thing, HE GOT IN ONCE. I was hoping he would do something besides BS us. I do not like that ASS HOLE because he did nothing he said. There is no color shit there it is all because he fricken LIED. His BS bull shit for illegals and gay marriage BS for votes. I am so pissed off that he said sorry for America, DAMN YOU ARE OUR PRESIDENT. Everything is broken and Obama needs to fix it. He is a smooth taker and will sell you his BULL SHIT.
I can not stand to even look at that ASS HOLE never mind vote for that LOSER. It is not Obamas lies that will get him elected but those who believe his BULL SHIT. After this election we need to get rid of the lying ass hole media. Obama wants to spread the wealth, HE IS DOING THAT ALREADY. Look to see how much crime costs America. All of the gangs, shootings, murders and BULL SHIT. The cost of judges, cops and jails. I have not cost America nothing, no cops, judges, murders or jail. I do not hire illegals and send them to emergency to get treated on OUR DIME. I do not give them free health care while we pay. I think if we must all have to have paid health care than they should also.
America USED to be RICH now we have spent everything even our kids future. NOBODY can see that Obama has spent us into a hell hole. I am sure America will wake the hell up but will it be too late ???? Nobody loves Obama more than Obama. He gives him self a B+, my ass. That is his view not mine because he fricken flunks as far as I can tell. You must stand back and look at what the ass hole has done and said. Obama is by far the worst president EVER.
Gary Anderson, San Diego
Maybe that is why the sexual perverts love Obama, he's an 'ass hole' or recreation area.

B.C. residents divided on whales in captivity, poll shows
With a public debate underway in the city over whales and dolphins in captivity at the Vancouver Aquarium, a new poll shows that people across the province are paying attention to the issue.
Insights West conducted an online survey of 769 adults in B.C., and found that 54 percent are watching these discussions closely. This figure is even higher in the Lower Mainland, where 58 percent of respondents said they are following the issue closely.
Forty-two percent of respondents agreed with the statement "Whale programs should be phased out", and 40 percent sided with the statement "Whale programs should continue", while 18 percent said they were not sure.
Fifty-five percent believe that "Animals in captivity suffer", but 62 percent agree with the statement "Zoos and aquariums are still needed".
"Most British Columbians tend to look at captivity as something that can advance research, and just one-in-five believe that zoos and aquariums are no longer needed," Mario Canseco, vice president for public affairs at Insights West, said in a news release. "However, almost half believe that captivity hinders animals, and this is one of the prevailing feelings that translates into support for phasing out whale programs."
Insights West also asked respondents for their opinions on holding a plebiscite on cetacean captivity. In the Lower Mainland, where the issue is most relevant, 47 percent said it was a good idea, compared to 39 percent who felt it was a bad idea. Thirteen percent were not sure.
If such a plebiscite were held in their municipality, 45 percent of Lower Mainland respondents would likely vote "yes" on a ban on cetacean captivity, while 43 percent are leaning toward "no". Five percent said they wouldn't vote, and eight percent were undecided.
The poll, conducted from May 22 to 28, has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Contained Places
Umatilla County is a county located in the U.S. state of Oregon. As of the 2010 census, the population was 75,889. The county seat is Pendleton. The county is named for the Umatilla River.
Umatilla County is part of the Pendleton–Hermiston, OR Micropolitan Statistical Area. It is included in the 8 county definition of Eastern Oregon.
Umatilla County was created on September 27, 1862, out of a portion of Wasco County. Adjustments were made to the county's boundaries following the creation of Grant, Morrow, Union, and Wallowa Counties. This legislative act also designated Marshall Station as the temporary county seat. An 1865 election selected Umatilla City, now known as Umatilla, as the county seat. With the development of wheat farming, population shifted to the north and east parts of the county, and a subsequent election in 1868 moved the county seat again to Pendleton.
The Umatilla Indian Reservation was established by the Treaty of Walla Walla in 1855. The Umatillas, Walla Wallas, and Cayuse tribes were resettled there, and is located immediately southeast of Pendleton.
EZ Wireless of Hermiston officially opened on February 4, 2004, one of the largest known Wi-Fi wide area networks in the United States, covering parts of Umatilla County, Morrow County and Benton County, Washington. Although created to facilitate communications among local police, firemen and EMT workers who immediately respond to possible accidents or terrorist attacks on the Umatilla Chemical Depot, where the U.S. Army maintained a national arsenal of nerve gas, the network can be accessed in some places by the public for free.
