There are a few ways the batter-runner can be called out on interference. All of those are listed under rule 7.09. Two of them involve the base coach, and those are the two examined in this segment of ruminating about baseball's rules.
7.09 It is interference by a batter or a runner when:
(h) In the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at third base, or first base, by touching or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving third base or first base.
(i) With a runner on third base, the base coach leaves his box and acts in any manner to draw a throw by a fielder;
Rule (i) is easy to understand. In 1914, St. Louis Cardinals manager Miller Huggins told a naïve Brooklyn Dodger pitcher to toss him the ball during an inning so he could take a look at it. When the youngster complied, Huggins moved out of the way and let it go bouncing by while his base runner on third ran home. Umpires had to allow the run since they hadn't called time. It's probably not coincidence that baseball started establishing rules concerning coach's interference right around the time a young pitcher was trying to get over Huggins' trickery.
At first glance, rule (h) appears clear cut on the surface. However, it turns out there may be some wiggle room in the wording. As regular readers know by now, 'the judgment of the umpire' again leaves each individual umpire's interpretation as binding. It also opens the doors for controversy.
While the words 'touching' and 'holding' will set just about anyone with a daughter on edge, they prove to be problematic to umpires as well. There is no set amount or type of touching that's forbidden, so many umpires seem to adopt a stance of complete abstinence as a rule. However, that doesn't mesh with the call for intent to determine interference. That wording should limit interference calls and see them enforced only where the coach actually does influence the runner.
Obviously some instances would be clear violations. Any coach that grabs his player to keep him from trying to score, or one that helps his player get back up after falling would be an easy call. But, a light touch—even though not enough to physically stop a runner—could be enough to get the player's attention when verbal cues are failing. That would clearly fall under intent to stop the runner, even though not as clear a violation on the surface.
Somewhere along the lines, knowing that the slightest nudge of the shoulder could signal an base coach's intent to stop or send a runner, umpires began to call any contact with a runner a violation.
There are a few examples of this ruling in games that can show the range of contact that umpires deal with.
Jim Leyland helped Dave Stegman get up as Stegman slipped rounding third on May 8, 1984 while both were with the Chicago White Sox. It's hard to blame Leyland for pulling out all the stops on this play since the matchup with the Milwaukee Brewers that night remains the longest game in MLB history. Leyland committed interference in the 23rd inning of a game that seemingly wouldn't end, yet finally did when Harold Baines hit the 753rd pitch of the game over the fence for a walk-off homer in the 25th inning. Leyland's infraction, helping the runner get back to his feet, was clear.
On a similar play, St. Louis Cardinal Andy Van Slyke hit a drive September 12, 1983 that plated teammate George Hendrick. While Hendrick was scoring, Van Slyke was going for an extra base and slid into third as the ball bounced away from Pittsburgh third baseman Jim Morrison. Morrison fell on top of Van Slyke on the play and Andy's third base coach, Chuck Hiller, helped the runner to his feet, resulting in an out call. Van Slyke's RBI stood since the run scored before the interference.
While those two examples show a proper call, the following cases were not so cut and dry.
On May 13, 1988, Yankee coach Clete Boyer made contact with Willie Randolph while the latter was trying to score in the first inning against the California Angels. There's no replay available on this one, but some reports indicate that the contact was insignificant. After a brief debate, second base umpire Al Clark called Randolph out. Yankee manager Billy Martin ran out of the dugout to protest and argued that:
"The rule says a coach can't aid or grab a runner."
While that's not a verbatim quote of the rulebook, it is exact as far as the spirit of the rule goes. Nonetheless, Martin protested to no avail and the call stood.
On August 3, 2001, Baltimore third base coach Tom Trebelhorn was trying to hold Brady Anderson at third on a single from Chris Richard. But, Anderson was watching the ball and not his coach. Anderson ran through the stop sign and into Trebelhorn. The contact wasn't slight, and the Orioles argued that Trebelhorn had not assisted Anderson back to third. In their view, Anderson ran into Trebelhorn instead of Trebelhorn purposely trying to stop the runner. John Hirschbeck, the home plate umpire during this game, denied Baltimore manager Mike Hargrove's appeal. After the game, Hargrove insinuated that Hirschbeck said the runner was out if any contact was made.
"I told him (Hirschbeck) I've seen runners run into third base coaches a lot and not be called out. He said they should have been."
Yes, they should have been out if the coach intended to stop the runner, but not if the runner ran into the coach.
On Sept. 5 of this past season, a Texas Ranger rally was cut short by a coach's interference call. Ranger third base coach Dave Anderson was holding the Rangers' Michael Young at third when Young accidentally hit Anderson's hand. Alfonso Marquez called interference and the game ended right there.
The Twins benefited from the call, and manager Ron Gardenhire said it was the right one. However, Gardenhire also took the stance that any contact results in an out-
"They made contact at third base," Gardenhire said. "That's automatic. The umpire has to make a call. If there is contact, he's got to make a call. That's what he did. And they made contact. Unfortunate, yes. It probably didn't help him stop or get back, but contact is contact. And that's what Alfonso called."
This video shows that any contact was incidental. It also shows that the runner was already trying to stop and that Gardenhire was right about one thing- the contact didn't help him stop or get back.
But Gardenhire, as well as some umpires, are wrong about these calls if they think all instances of contact should result in outs. An umpire has a tough job when the rules call for him to determine a player's intent. He deals with that on several calls, from checked swings to balks. However, that difficulty does not mean he can turn a subjective opinion call into a hard and fast ban on any and all contact.
Just think if an umpire that believed all contact with base coaches should result in outs had worked the Cardinals-Cub matchup when Mark McGwire hit his 62nd home run in 1998. After McGwire hit a liner over the left field fence, Cardinals First base coach Dave McKay met him with a modified hug as he reached first base. They clearly made contact with each other. Many will remember that in his excitement, McGwire hopped over the bag and with McKay pointing and shouting, went back to make sure he touched first. McKay touched McGwire at one point, but did not touch him as he was urging him back to the bag. An umpire using 'any' contact as his guide could have called Big Mac out.
Just think if that had been the most controversial thing to come from the 1998 home run race.

To buy the other two levels, this game is sick.
It is like Bejeweled on Steroids but I think it's more like crack instead, the best Jewel game on the iPad market.
I have the "original" Babo Crash HD. It's like Bejeweled on steroids. Very addictive and a lot of fun! Once I start playing it, I find it hard to stop. Then I take a break and play Bejewled. LOL
Cool game
I just love the sound effect. Innovative gameplay, more interesting than Bejewels

This weekend we celebrated Eli's 8th birthday! Lego Style! ;)
He seemed pretty stoked about everything, which made me super stoked!
He said his favorite part of the decorations was the straw and utensil holders made of legos hahaha! Oh and the Lego Crayons we made together for the goodie bags!
He was one happy kiddo!
I used the Lego Head I made to make straw and cupcake toppers.
Eli and I made that green Lego Brick piñata! Though we built it too strong hahaha and no one could bust it, so the kids ripped it open! We used real Legos to build the straw and utensil holders. I used these candy molds to make Lego Brick candies. Oh I made 2 cakes and cupcakes haha I got nervous the Lego Head Cake wasn't going to turn out, so I needed back up! I made a blue Lego Brick Cake with a bread pan and mini cupcakes! But luckily the Lego Head Cake did turn out! :)
This is how I made the Lego Head cake!
My aunt bought me the Williams Sonoma Donut Cake Pan for Christmas, so I used that for the top and bottom of the head, then I used two regular size cake pans for the middle! Because the Donut Pans are a bit smaller than the normal cake pans, I just trimmed them down with a knife and used the trimmings for the top of the Lego Head! Then I used buttercream icing and yellow food coloring to made him a real Lego Head, added icing eyes and a mouth! I found Lego candles at Target and at Publix (our local grocery store). Eli and I used chopsticks and electrical tape to made glasses like Eli, but they turned out kinda big and wonky haha
I wrapped all his Legos as Legos ;)
It was a really fun day! Our families and friends were over, eating, chatting, playing - it was perfect!
Happy 8th year to you sweet boy! :)
Here's the links to the Lego Birthday Invites & the DiY Lego Goodie Bags!Pin It

Mometasone Oral Inhalation
(moe met' a sone)
WHY is this medicine prescribed?
Mometasone oral inhalation is used to prevent difficulty breathing, chest tightness, wheezing, and coughing caused by asthma. Mometasone oral inhalation (Asmanex
HOW should this medicine be used?
Mometasone inhalation comes as a powder to inhale by mouth and as an aerosol to inhale by mouth using an inhaler. Mometasone oral inhalation is usually inhaled twice daily. Mometasone powder for oral inhalation is usually inhaled once a day in the evening or twice daily. Use mometasone inhalation at around the same time(s) every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use mometasone inhalation exactly as directed. Do not inhale more or less of it or inhale it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Talk to your doctor about how you should use your other oral and inhaled medications for asthma during your treatment with mometasone inhalation. If you were taking an oral steroid such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), or prednisone (Rayos), your doctor may want to gradually decrease your steroid dose starting at least 1 week after you begin to use mometasone inhalation.
Mometasone inhalation helps to prevent asthma attacks but will not stop an asthma attack that has already started. Do not use mometasone inhalation during an asthma attack. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during asthma attacks.
Your doctor will probably start you on an average dose of mometasone inhalation. Your doctor may decrease your dose if your symptoms are controlled or gradually increase your dose if your symptoms have not improved after 2 weeks.
Mometasone inhalation controls asthma but does not cure it. It may take 1 to 2 weeks or longer before you feel the full benefit of the medication. Continue to use mometasone inhalation even if you feel well. Do not stop using mometasone inhalation without talking to your doctor.
Tell your doctor if your asthma worsens during your treatment. Call your doctor immediately if you have an asthma attack that does not stop when you use your fast-acting asthma medication, or if you need to use more of your fast-acting medication than usual.
Before you use your mometasone oral inhaler the first time, read the written instructions that come with it. Look at the diagrams carefully and be sure that you recognize all the parts of the inhaler. Ask your doctor, pharmacist, or respiratory therapist to show you how to use it. Practice using the inhaler while he or she watches.
The dose counter on the base of your mometasone inhaler tells you how many doses of medication are left in your inhaler. Read the numbers on the dose counter from top to bottom. The number on the dose counter decreases every time you lift the cap to load a dose of medication. Do not use the inhaler if the numbers on the dose counter do not change after you load a dose. Call your pharmacist if your inhaler is not working properly.
To use the aerosol inhaler, follow these steps:
To use the powder using the inhaler, follow these steps:
If your inhaler needs to be cleaned, gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Do not wash the inhaler. Keep the inhaler away from water or other liquids.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor for a copy of the manufacturer's information for the patient.
Are there OTHER USES for this medicine?
This medication may be prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
What SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS should I follow?
Before using mometasone oral inhalation,
- tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to mometasone, any other medications, or any of the ingredients in mometasone inhalation powder or aerosol inhaler. If you will be using the inhalation powder, also tell your doctor if you are allergic to milk proteins. Ask your pharmacist for a list of the ingredients.
- tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products you are taking or have recently taken. Be sure to mention any of the following: antifungals such as itraconazole (Onmel, Sporanox) and ketoconazole (Nizoral); clarithromycin (Biaxin); HIV protease inhibitors such as atazanavir (Reyataz, in Evotaz), indinavir (Crixivan), nelfinavir (Viracept), ritonavir (Norvir, in Kaletra, in Viekira Pak, others), and saquinavir (Invirase); medications for seizures, nefazodone; oral steroids such as dexamethasone, methylprednisolone (Medrol), and prednisone (Rayos); and telithromycin (Ketek). Your doctor may need to change the doses of your medications or monitor you carefully for side effects. Many other medications may also interact with mometasone oral inhalation, so be sure to tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking, even those that do not appear on this list.
- do not use mometasone during an asthma attack. Your doctor will prescribe a short-acting inhaler to use during asthma attacks. Call your doctor if you have an asthma attack that does not stop when using the fast-acting asthma medication, or if you need to use more of the fast-acting medication than usual.
- tell your doctor if you or anyone in your family has or has ever had osteoporosis (a condition in which the bones become thin and weak and break easily) and if you have or have ever had tuberculosis (TB; a type of lung infection) in your lungs, cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye), glaucoma (an eye disease) or high pressure in the eye, or liver disease. Also tell your doctor if you have any type of untreated infection anywhere in your body or a herpes eye infection (a type of infection that causes a sore on the eyelid or eye surface), or if you are on bedrest or unable to move around.
- tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding. If you become pregnant while using mometasone inhalation, call your doctor.
- if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell the doctor or dentist that you are using mometasone inhalation.
- if you have any other medical conditions, such as asthma, arthritis, or eczema (a skin disease), they may worsen when your oral steroid dose is decreased. Tell your doctor if this happens or if you experience any of the following symptoms during this time: extreme tiredness, muscle weakness or pain; sudden pain in stomach, lower body or legs; loss of appetite; weight loss; upset stomach; vomiting; diarrhea; dizziness; fainting; depression; irritability; and darkening of skin. Your body may be less able to cope with stress such as surgery, illness, severe asthma attack, or injury during this time. Call your doctor right away if you get sick and be sure that all healthcare providers who treat you know that you recently replaced your oral steroid with mometasone inhalation. Carry a card or wear a medical identification bracelet to let emergency personnel know that you may need to be treated with steroids in an emergency.
- tell your doctor if you have never had chickenpox or measles and you have not been vaccinated against these infections. Stay away from people who are sick, especially people who have chickenpox or measles. If you are exposed to one of these infections or if you develop symptoms of one of these infections, call your doctor right away. You may need treatment to protect you from these infections.
- you should know that mometasone inhalation sometimes causes wheezing and difficulty breathing immediately after it is inhaled. If this happens, use your fast-acting (rescue) asthma medication right away and call your doctor. Do not use mometasone inhalation again unless your doctor tells you that you should.
What SPECIAL DIETARY instructions should I follow?
Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, continue your normal diet.
What should I do IF I FORGET to take a dose?
Skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not inhale a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What SIDE EFFECTS can this medicine cause?
Mometasone inhalation may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- headache
- stuffy or runny nose
- swelling of nose, throat, and sinuses
- bone, muscle, joint, or back pain
- flu-like symptoms
- nose irritation or nosebleed
- dry throat
- painful white patches in the mouth or throat
- painful menstrual periods
Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms or those in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately or get emergency medical treatment:
• hives
• rash
• itching
- swelling of the eyes, face, tongue, throat, arms, hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
- hoarseness
- difficulty breathing or swallowing
- throat tightness
- vision changes
Mometasone inhalation may cause slowed growth in children. Your child's doctor will monitor your child's growth carefully while he or she is using mometasone inhalation. Talk to your doctor about the risks of giving this medication to your child.
In rare cases, people who used mometasone for a long time developed glaucoma or cataracts. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using mometasone and how often you should have your eyes examined during your treatment.
Mometasone inhalation may cause a decrease in your bone mineral density (bone strength and thickness) and may increase your risk of developing osteoporosis. Talk to your doctor about the risks of using mometasone inhalation.
Mometasone inhalation may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while using this medication.
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
What should I know about STORAGE and DISPOSAL of this medication?
Store your mometasone inhaler out of reach of children, at room temperature, and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Do not store the inhaler near a heat source or an open flame. Protect the inhaler from freezing and direct sunlight. Do not puncture the aerosol container and do not throw it away in an incinerator or fire. Dispose of your mometasone oral inhalation powder inhaler 45 days after you open the package and any medication that is outdated or no longer needed.
Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website (http://goo.gl/c4Rm4p) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program.
What OTHER INFORMATION should I know?
Keep all appointments with your doctor.
Do not let anyone else use your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have about refilling your prescription.
It is important for you to keep a written list of all of the prescription and nonprescription (over-the-counter) medicines you are taking, as well as any products such as vitamins, minerals, or other dietary supplements. You should bring this list with you each time you visit a doctor or if you are admitted to a hospital. It is also important information to carry with you in case of emergencies.

|Study Start Date:
|August 1991
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 1996
ALP phenotype B (ALP-B), characterized by a predominance of small, dense LDL particles as determined by gradient gel electrophoresis, has been associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction and a constellation of atherogenic lipid and apolipoprotein (apo) changes. Based on complex segregation analysis, ALP-B appeared to be influenced by a single major genetic locus with a dominant mode of inheritance and a common allele frequency. This project was designed to identify a new gene involved in susceptibility to coronary heart disease.
The investigators identified, collected and constructed a repository of immortalized cell lines and lipid and apo measurements from members of families informative for ALP. They tested genes implicated in lipoprotein metabolism as possible candidate ALP genes and used highly informative DNA probes to search the genome for linkage to the ALP gene. They also refined the model for the inheritance of ALP phenotypes and tested for genetic-environmental interactions. Forty informative families were recruited for the repository. The families were identified through two sources of probands: former participants in a cholesterol-lowering diet study and patients seen at the lipid clinics at the University of Washington. Each participating family member completed a medical history questionnaire and provided a blood sample for ALP phenotype determination, for DNA studies, and for lipid and apo measurements. Linkage studies and LOD score analyses began with a candidate gene approach, and continued by using DNA probes that revealed restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to search the genome for linkage to the ALP gene. When a linkage was found, ALP genotype information was used to refine the statistical model describing the inheritance of ALP phenotypes, and to evaluate genetic-environmental interactions involving lipid and apo levels and environmental and behavioral factors.

The contest, which ran from August 5 th through October 31 st, challenged marketers to show the world their creative muscle and transform their video ads into immersive brand experiences that inspire viewers to actively engage. Tremor Video's in-house creative team produced nearly 100 ad units which ran on the Tremor Video media network as well as being featured in the contest's gallery where visitors voted to name the FIAT brand as the People's Choice Award winner. Additionally, a panel of industry experts from Ad Age/Creativity, Ad Club of New York, Interactive Advertising Bureau, Vimeo and Tremor Video voted separately to name Blue Moon Brewing Company the Judge's Choice Winner. "Congratulations to these brands for pushing the envelope to create more engaging, more enticing video advertising," said Creativity Editor Ann-Christine Diaz. "A video player's canvas allows for so much more creativity and it's exciting to see how quickly brands are embracing this new ability." Both winners executed Tremor Video's Super Pre-Roll Takeovers, which are interactive ad units that integrate a graphic overlay trigger on top of a brand's :15 or :30 second video spot. Viewers can engage with the ad by rolling over or clicking the trigger to open a branded slate that expands outside the video player and provides additional immersive advertiser content to drive brand awareness.

Fox Chapel's success ends in baseball playoffs
The Fox Chapel High School baseball team saw its season come to a close on May 13 with a 2-0 loss to Hempfield in a first round WPIAL Class AAAA playoff game at Gateway High School.
Chad Bartlett, who threw a complete game and struck out six, took the loss as the Foxes were held to an infield single by Hempfield's Zach Martinelli, who struck out 18 batters.
"It turned into a pitcher's duel," FC coach Mike Frank said. "Chad only gave up four hits and one earned run. Martinelli was one of the best pitchers we faced this season, and he was dominant. I thought we played a solid game, but we just couldn't seem to put any offense together. Sometimes you just have to tip your cap when a kid throws that well."
The Foxes finished with a 12-8 record and Frank feels that his team turned the corner this season.
"I was very proud of the strides we made this year," Frank said. "We had a great group of guys that bought into the team-first mentality and worked hard day in and day out. Our successes are a testament to the players' attitude and devotion to the team."
The Foxes will lose eight seniors to graduation.
"That will create some holes and take away from the depth that we had this season," Frank said. "Joe Palumbo, Taylor Huber, and James Sirio were three-year starters for us, so losing them takes away some of the leadership and experience we had this year. Bobby Killian was one of our go-to pitchers and a third baseman, so that's another spot that we'll need to address.
"Nathaniel Olbrich served as a backup catcher. Joe Lisowski was injured most of this season, but he added to our depth as an infielder. Andy Marsh was a pitcher and backup first baseman, and Jake Gerger was a backup outfielder."
Losing so many seniors is difficult, Frank said. But, he added, the team did have a lot of young guys playing throughout this season.
"Chad Bartlett, Jacob Pilarski, Josh Dunlap and David Brown all pitched a significant amount of innings, and threw for us in important games." Frank said. "They'll be the core of our pitching staff for next season."
Dan Vargo, Anthony Veltri and Josh Anderson will return in the infield. "So we gained a lot of experience there this season as well," Frank said.
"Zack Burkhart carried the load for us at catcher as a freshman this year, so we're expecting him to continue to develop and be a strong part of the lineup. Connor Duquette returns in the outfield, and Greg Yaksich looks to take over centerfield with Huber graduating, and he'll be the key to our outfield next year."
Frank said the team members are excited about their accomplishments this season and they know, moving forward, they can continue to build on the success.

My friend at the Arizona Republic newspaper, who I worked with years ago when I was on the photo desk, called and said she had an immediate need for students well versed in the production of DPS apps. I said , no problem, hung up the phone and announced we had to figure this out.
2 months ago 6 Seniors, myself and my colleague, Dr. Laurie Ralston, embarked on the path to create our first DPS app. We quickly learned that the how to's are scattered about and the DPS App itself is found after what feels like a treasure hunt. We began studying apps (magazines) on the iPad and jumped head first into the world of e-publishing.
These are graphic technology students, creative "techies" and design types, that have had no journalism experience. But, as I had been a photojournalist early in my career , and used to photograph for numerous magazines, we began our approach conventionally- developing the mast-head assignments and mapping out the stories we would do. Some were in charge of photo, others in charge of video, writing and of course, we chose our managing editor, the glue to hold us together.
We are still building it ( shooting, writing, refining page design) and I am documenting our progress so as to be able to simplify the process and produce "An Educators Best Practices Guide for DPS ". Hopefully this is of interest to others and I plan to return to this blog soon for our next update.

Hi Penny Ann:
I am a retired senior partner of a NYC CPA firm and have been intrigued by 3D App game/puzzles. And I now have created on paper, my own 3D puzzle for a mobile phone.
However, I need the assistance of a designer/programmer who can help me bring the project to fruition. (Undergraduate/Graduate).
I operate out of a small town called Bay Shore, LI,NY., some 40 miles from NYC.
Could you steer me in the right direction to find someone who fits the bill and may even reside in this part of the world?
Your response would be most welcome…………Lee Auerbach………….631-666-5063

A devastating exposé by former Fairfax editor, Gold Walkley winner, and leading business journalist Colleen Ryan.
Colleen Ryan gives the definitive account of the fate of Fairfax. It is the story of greedy media moguls, angry and ambitious politicians, foolhardy heirs and heiresses, zealous journalists, muddling management and the rise of digital media. The once-mighty Fairfax has been a victim of them all. A drama-filled saga that reveals how far Fairfax has fallen.

She is a former Editor of the Australian Financial Review and during her career she was Washington correspondent for the AFR and more recently China correspondent, based in Shanghai for 6 years.

Comments about Fairfax:
This is a clinical dissection of a family and company, with blue riband Australian pedigrees, on their way down, down, down to their ignominious downfall. However the cover design is misleading: admittedly, Young Warwick Fairfax blew his inheritance and trashed the company and family names by his premature bid to take over and, admittedly, Gina Rinehart made a mysterious, and perhaps alarming, foray into the Fairfax Media share register late in the piece. But the real culprits for Fairfax's demise are the chairmen and board members of recent years, who not only never understood their own newspapers but also didn't understand the Internet, despite plenty of prior warning of its game-changing importance. Fairfax just didn't, and still doesn't, have the wily cunning, foresight and bravado of Murdoch and Packer and the cleverness and innovation of the dot.com entrepreneurs. This is a 21st century parable of how to turn a big business into a small one. Every Fairfax shareholder should read this book to find out exactly how and why their investment went into freefall so quickly.

Now that my bridesmaids dresses are all picked out, I can really focus on the most important piece of my wedding- my wedding dress! I still haven't truly had that "wow" moment that I'm assuming your supposed to have (you are supposed to, right?). In the meantime while I am searching for my perfect gown, here's some inspiration…
Tag: Monique Lhuillier
Wedding Wednesday
There are many epic moments in a girl's life….I am happy to say that I experienced one of them this past weekend when… I tried on a wedding dress for the very first time! I did have one fear though…and that was the fear of getting a pushy, aggressive saleswoman. Luckily, that didn't happen and I had a great experience with the woman who was helping me at Saks Fifth Avenue. I had so much fun trying on Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang masterpieces (I can cross that off my bucket list!). Though I didn't find "the one" and never expected to upon my first visit, I did find the style, cut and shape that I am looking for. Wish me luck on my continued search for that special white dress!

Ouch. Maybe she is attempting to keep from making a 102nd mistake, which might explain her controversial interview with America's most-hated clan, the Kardashians and her decision to bestow the new NBA champions with an hour of airtime. Oh, and let's not forget her decision to interview 50 Cent, who purposely disrespected her by naming his dog Oprah and the re-introduction of O's Book Club, which has been known to launch miniscule novels into bestsellers and movies.
But it seems that the public is reluctant to take the bait.
Still, Oprah is determined to push forward. "You know, because a thing appears to not be doing well, and I'd like to say this to everybody: because you failed at something — which we haven't failed — but just because you fail doesn't make you a failure."
I tend to agree. Call me naïve, an Oprah band wagoner, or whatever label suits me for this occasion, but I refuse to believe OWN can't be spared from cable death.
Oprah is too much of a superhero to allow that to happen. The marketing, advertising, and branding departments are pulling all-nighters in the OWN offices, but somehow, puzzle pieces are beginning to fit together.
The Twitterverse might have disagreed with Oprah's decision to interview the Houstons a month after Whitney's death, but we were super-glued to our television sets to watch the ultimate interviewer showcase her craft. We rant and complain on social media, but it hasn't stopped us from tuning in week after week to "Oprah's Next Chapter," watching as she navigates Lady Gaga's eccentric world and asks Kim Kardashian about her sex tape. Each week, we are reminded of what started our love affair with Queen O to begin with. Being able to reinvent herself and her network to suit our needs is pure talent.
And Oprah's brand is talent that built from concrete. Need we forget that the Queen started out as an impoverished black child from Mississippi, who dropped out of college before taking over the world. She was molested, neglected, and abused – and still she rose.
The fabulous Zora Neale Hurston once said that black women are the mules of the world. We are resilient. We fight. Oprah is fighting. And because she is Oprah, her network will survive. Slowly, OWN is becoming independent of its life support; the network is introducing six summer programs and ratings are up 14 percent among women 25 to 54.
OWN has a few steps to take before it reaches a mega milestone, but all masterpieces take time to create. Don't doubt the power of the brand. Oprah will save OWN.

Maxus has just completed a great year, notching up close to 50 per cent growth in 2005. And the agency has had a sweet start to 2006, winning the confectionery major Perfetti van Melle's media account in a multi-agency pitch. As for 2006, it strongly believes it is within striking distance of becoming India's second biggest standalone agency after Mindshare.
Several blue chip businesses which Maxus won in recent times including Britannia, Titan, Walt Disney, GE, IDBI, AMD, coupled with existing clients such as Hutch, Hero Honda, Tata Motors, Dabur, Seagram, VIP, Pidilite, Himalaya, etc., have ensured that this GroupM company has lived up to its role of being the growth engine of India's biggest media agency group. Another fact worth noting is that Maxus hasn't lost any significant business in the recent past.
Commented CVL Srinivas, CEO, Maxus Asia Pacific, "Maxus focuses on just about 25 clients and gives them the unique combination of scale and clout that comes from the GroupM backing, coupled with focus and customized inputs that our dedicated business teams provide."
On the strength of its recent growth, Maxus believes it is within striking distance of becoming India's second biggest standalone agency after Mindshare. "Our estimates show that we are poised to become India's second biggest standalone agency after Mindshare given our strong performance and the way we are structured to handle diverse client needs. However, it isn't size that we are bothered about, but would like to be known for a solid media product, good client service and above all, as a happy, friendly bunch of guys who enjoy what they are doing," Srinivas said.
Perfetti van Melle is one of India's most respected marketers with brands such as Alpenliebe, Mentos, Chlormint and HappyDent, called for a media pitch in October 2005.
Confirming the win by Maxus, Sameer Suneja, Head-Marketing, Perfetti van Melle, said, "We chose Maxus as we feel at this stage of our business it is the agency that is best suited to partner us. Maxus demonstrated a holistic approach to communication planning which we want to take forward. We are eagerly looking forward to a fresh, new perspective to our media product."
Debraj Tripathy, General Manager, Maxus Delhi, who led the pitch, said, "My team and I look forward to exciting times on this account. We have quite a few interesting ideas in store."

ENGLAND: Arsenal's season is coming down to salvaging a spot in the Champions League. The Gunners managed to put recent cup disappointments behind them with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa to go provisionally a point behind fourth-placed Tottenham. Santi Cazorla scored both Arsenal goals, the winner coming in the 85th minute. ''We went through some difficult days and we responded in a united way,'' Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said. Villa sank back into the relegation zone with Reading - which lost 3-0 to Wigan - and QPR. Sixth-placed Everton fell five points behind Arsenal after losing 2-1 at Norwich, West Bromwich Albion rose to seventh by beating Sunderland by the same score and Fulham defeated Stoke 1-0 in a mid-table clash.
Barca clears out on top
SPAIN: Barcelona stretched its advantage at the top of La Liga to 15 points as Lionel Messi extended his league-record scoring run to 15 straight games during a 2-1 win on Saturday over Sevilla. The Catalans, who slumped to a shock Champions League loss at AC Milan midweek, had to come from behind after Alberto Botia headed the visitors into a 42nd-minute lead. Barca faces a huge Spanish Cup semi-final second-leg with Real Madrid on Tuesday, with the tie finely balanced at 1-1. Star Javier Mascherano believes home advantage and an away goal gives it the upper hand. ''On Tuesday we have a big game but we have the advantage. We are playing a great rival but we need to finish the job.'' Real Madrid also had to come from behind to win 2-1 at relegation-threatened Deportivo La Coruna thanks to second-half goals from Kaka and Gonzalo Higuain.
Bayern's class prevails
GERMANY: Bayern Munich rested half a dozen stars but still romped to a 6-1 win at home against 10-man Werder Bremen on Saturday to go 18 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga. Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes celebrated his 1000th Bundesliga game as a player or coach by making six changes to the team which won 3-1 at Arsenal in the Champions League on Tuesday. But the club still extended its unbeaten run to 20 matches since its last defeat at home to Bayer Leverkusen at the end of October while resting its top players for Wednesday's cup quarter-final at home to Dortmund. ''After making those six changes we needed 20 minutes to find our rhythm,'' said Heynckes, with only ex-Greece coach Otto Rehhagel having been involved in more Bundesliga matches with 1037.
Arnold baits Wanderers
AUSTRALIA: Its annihilation of Melbourne Victory spoke volumes, but it was the short, sharp warning Central Coast boss Graham Arnold issued afterwards that has set the scene for what's shaping as the clash of the A-League season on Saturday. ''Our home record is fantastic, so Western Sydney get ready,'' he said. The Mariners dismantled Victory 6-2 in Gosford on Saturday night to continue their stellar form at Bluetongue Stadium. They have yet to be defeated at home this season, posting nine wins and a draw including a 7-2 drubbing of Sydney FC and a 5-0 thrashing of Wellington. Arnold is confident next weekend will be no different against a rampant Wanderers, who they beat 2-0 in their previous encounter at Parramatta Stadium last month.

Vote Every Day through Nov. 19 in Toyota's 100 Cars for Good
TORRANCE, CA--Oct. 1, 2013: Before Toyota's 100 Cars for Good program, staff members at the Chino, Calif. nonprofit Together We Rise overheated their van multiple times when trying to deliver bicycles to foster kids. Thanks to a new Tundra pick-up truck, received through the 100 Cars for Good program, the organization can now deliver as many as 400 bikes per trip, towing them behind the truck in a 26-foot trailer.
"Previously when we traveled the country, we had to turn the heaters on full-blast to prevent our old truck from breaking down," said Danny Mendoza, the group's founder. "With the new Tundra it just makes life so much easier. Delivering these bikes is so important to help create a sense of normalcy and belonging for foster kids – something that often is missing in their lives."
Starting today, 250 new 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are eligible to benefit from Toyota's signature philanthropic program, continuing the good work that has already been done by past winners. By casting votes at 100 Cars for Good, people have the power to make a difference in the work of deserving nonprofits.
Each day for 50 consecutive days through Nov. 19, five finalists are eligible and two organizations will receive a new Toyota vehicle, based on the highest number of public votes. Finalists come from all 50 states and support diverse causes including disaster relief, veteran and disabled services, educational programs and environmental issues.
Winners will be able to choose among the Toyota Highlander, Prius, Sienna, Sienna Mobility or Tundra, which will also come with a six-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty from Toyota Financial Services. Runners-up organizations will each receive a $1,000 grant from Toyota to support their work.
Since launching the program two years ago, Toyota has awarded 200 vehicles to nonprofit organizations across the country, based on public voting via Toyota's Facebook page. A Sienna won by Young at Heart Pet Rescue in Palatine, Ill. has helped streamline the organization's activities and significantly improve its impact in the community. The volunteer-based group rescues and facilitates the adoption of older dogs and cats.
"In the past, we lost hours or sometimes even days, waiting for a volunteer's vehicle that was big enough for the task at hand," Executive Director Dawn Kemper said. "Now, we can just load our Sienna up with as many dog and cat crates as we need, jump in and be on our way to adoption events that save the lives of many animals. If someone calls with a large donation for our pet food pantry program, we can pick it all up and deliver it in one trip!"
Stories about animal rescues, disaster relief, environmental conservation, education and human services all reflect to the meaningful work supported through 100 Cars for Good and the unique causes of the many organizations.
"Each of the local organizations eligible for a vehicle this year is already making its community a better place, and we are proud to have every group's participation in 100 Cars for Good," said Michael Rouse, vice president of diversity, philanthropy and community affairs for Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. "In turn, every vote helps our charitable program reflect the causes that matter most to local communities around the country."

Versatile male lead who made a compelling film debut as an American drug-smuggler incarcerated in a Turkish prison in Alan Parker's "Midnight Express" (1978). Davis's relatively sparse screen roles include off-beat gems such as American Olympic runner Jackson Scholz in "Chariots of Fire" (1981); the title character--a gay sailor--in Fassbinder's "Querelle" (1982); and the eccentric pilot in Percy Adlon's "Rosalie Goes Shopping" (1989). A risk-taking stage actor, Davis won acclaim as Ned Weeks, alter ego of playwright and Gay Men's Health Crisis founder Larry Kramer, in Kramer's harrowing AIDS drama "The Normal Heart" (1985). He also starred in Steven Berkoff's avant-garde adaptation of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" at the Mark Taper Forum. Davis, who had been suffering with complications from AIDS, reportedly committed suicide at age 41.

What is the page number conversion?

This is obviously the problem with the Sony page numbering scheme that Amazon was trying to solve. I thought of the same thing when I got my Sony 500, so I can certainly understand that a programmer might think this is a clever solution.
But once you see it in action, it's clear that the arbitrary but absolute numbering scheme the Kindle uses is just not useful in most cases.
I believe the best solution would be to have each book embed page number data so that
decides what a "page" is. Where possible, the page number data should match the paper version of the book.
This would give you an absolute system like the Kindle (where people can share page numbers and potentially even match them to a physical paper book), and would also let it display "You are reading page 86 out of 359" which would give most people the psychological anchor that they're currently missing.
Currently many Kindle conversions of technical works include cross-references to page numbers from the printed editions, and these could be made useful if the physical book pagination could be captured and re-used.
The only downside to this scheme is that a "page" would likely consist of more than one screen's worth of data, so there would be no "page number" that would return you to the exact same Kindle screen full of text. You'd have to search through the ~3 screens worth of text or just read the whole "page". But then all the other paging schemes have similar issues in the presence of variable font size, etc.

I hate time sheets. I did them for years and hated every bit of it. I hated having to account for every speck of my time. I hated that my bosses looked at my hours first and my work second. I hated hearing that I did a great job, but "how are we going to bill for the all the hours you put in on this project?" I hated listening to coworkers talk about double-billing their time to multiple clients, and then goofing off because they had figured out how to fudge extra hours into their time sheets.
I have a small tax practice, and I value-bill for everything that I do. I believe it's the only fair way to treat my clients. However, I understand the reluctance of employers to release their employees from the constraints of reporting their time. Value billing makes perfect sense, but many employers are wary of taking this leap. Is there an easy way to transition from traditional hourly billing to value billing, or should it be an all-or-nothing proposition?

Hong Kong: Asian markets mostly rose Wednesday following big losses in the previous session, with Tokyo surging as the yen tumbled after Bank of Japan governor Masaaki Shirakawa said he will step down early.
Traders also took a lead from Wall Street and Europe, where encouraging economic data offset concerns over political uncertainty in Spain and Italy.
Tokyo soared 3.37%, or 416.83 points, to 11,463.75—its highest close since September 2008 soon after the collapse of US bank Lehman Brothers and at the height of the financial crisis.
Sydney climbed 0.78%, or 38.3 points, to 4,921.0 and Hong Kong added 0.47%, or 108.40 points, to 23,256.93, while Shanghai ended flat, edging up 1.35 points to 2,434.48. But Seoul lost 1.99 points to close at 1,936.19.
Wellington was closed for a public holiday.
Japanese foreign exchange traders welcomed Shirakawa's announcement that he would step down on 19 March, about three weeks before the end of his term.
It fuelled expectations that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will likely fill the post with someone who shares his ideas on aggressive monetary easing that would see more yen pumped into the economy.
The Japanese currency tumbled in New York. By the end of trade on Tuesday the dollar bought 93.61 yen and the euro was at 127.13 yen, compared with 92.28 yen and 124.67 yen earlier in the day in Tokyo.
In afternoon Tokyo trade on Wednesday the dollar bought 93.70 yen and the euro fetched 126.90 yen.
Yen "weakness has resumed with a vengeance", National Australia Bank said.
The euro was also at $1.3522, compared with $1.3582 in New York and much stronger than the $1.3489 Tuesday in Tokyo.
Major Japanese exporters have been raising their earnings outlooks thanks to recent weakness in the yen, heartening investors.
"Global markets continue to normalize, allowing risk-on trading to resume," said SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities Hiroichi Nishi.
"This is partially reflected in the fall of the yen," he told Dow Jones Newswires.
Regional markets resumed their upward trend after suffering a heavy jolt on Tuesday after Spain's Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy was forced to deny corruption claims.
A surge in the polls for the party of former Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi, who has said he would roll back recent austerity measures, spooked markets ahead of an election this month.
However, encouraging data showed US services sector activity rising and the contraction in euro zone business activity decelerating.
Wall Street rebounded after diving on Tuesday as the Dow sits close to record highs. The Dow ended 0.71% higher, the S&P 500 climbed 1.04% and the Nasdaq rose 1.29%.
In Europe markets on Tuesday recovered some of the huge losses suffered in the previous session.
Oil prices fell, with New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March down 28 cents to $96.38 a barrel and Brent North Sea crude for March delivery losing five cents to $116.47.
Gold was at $1,670.27 at 1035 GMT compared with $1,678.01 late on Tuesday.

Moyes - Drenthe must earn deal
David Moyes has challenged Royston Drenthe to step up and earn himself a contract with Everton.
By Hayley Paterson
Last Updated: 28/11/11 3:32pm
David Moyes has challenged Royston Drenthe to step up and earn himself a contract with Everton.
The Toffees boss brought in the 24-year-old this August on a season-long loan from Real Madrid.
The Dutchman, who can play in defence or midfield, was quick to get off the mark in terms of goals having netted twice for the Blues.
However, he has also found himself with his first blot on his English football record following two bookable offences against Chelsea in the League Cup.
Despite that dismissal, Moyes has been satisfied with Drenthe's start to his Everton career and wants him to emulate the likes of Mikel Arteta and Steven Pienaar who both came on loan and revived their careers in Merseyside.
"Royston has done okay. He's had some moments that have helped us and some moments that have worried us," the Scotsman told the Daily Mirror.
"But it is early days for him here. He is in the last year of his contract, he's on loan and there won't be a fee for him.
"We did the same with Mikel (Arteta) and Steven (Pienaar) and it was a great opportunity for them."

Cape Town - Plans to dispose of Pollsmoor and Leeuwkop prisons were prompted by security concerns, limited land, and a population of bullfrogs, according to Justice and Correctional Services Minister Michael Masutha.
In a written reply to a parliamentary question on Friday, he spelled out why his department is seeking to "exchange" the two prisons, one in Cape Town, the other in Midrand, for new ones.
Masutha said the public works department had first been asked to look into the matter seven years ago, and a similar request was made late last year.
"The request was made due to the two centres being located within increasingly urbanised developments, the residents of which have expressed concerns around the security of the centres."
On the renowned Pollsmoor Prison, which in the 1980s held former president Nelson Mandela and other senior African National Congress leaders, he said the department had considered expanding the 2.5 square kilometre facility.
"But land area is limited on the site and the buildings are old, which will be costly to maintain and repair."
A feasibility study on expanding Leeuwkop Prison had also been carried out.
"But the presence of an endangered species of bullfrog on the [Leeuwkop] site created an environmental challenge, thereby rendering the expansions impossible."
Masutha said an "exchange" of the two properties could only happen if the public works department agreed to the transaction, which it had not yet done.
If the go-ahead was given, the inmates currently housed at these two centres would be housed in the correctional centre that would form part of the exchange.
Last month, public works media and stakeholder relations director Thami Mchunu said a feasibility study into disposing of the two properties would be finalised this (2014/15) financial year.
"Currently, the department is conducting feasibility studies to inform the best and highest use of the subject properties," he said at the time.
Mchunu also confirmed that the prisons were state-owned.
"The title owner of the land and buildings is the Republic of South Africa under the custodianship of the department of public works," he said.
Land around the two prison complexes, especially Pollsmoor, is in short supply and fetching high prices on sale.
In his reply, Masutha said the purpose of the studies was to assess the market for interest within the private sector for developing the potential of the land in the further urbanisation strategies, as well as determine the replacement values of the two correctional centres.
The parliamentary question was posed by Democratic Alliance MP James Selfe.

A school in Bushey has taken part in an exchange with a school in Taiwan to allow students to "broaden their international horizons".
Queens' School hosted the ten day exchange with 33 members of staff and pupils from New Taipei City Junior High School last month.
Pupils from Queens' school, on Aldenham road, were treated to Taiwan pineapple cakes, chopsticks, and other specialties.
They were also taught how to say hello and thank you along with other simple Chinese phrases.
The exchange was initiated by a former Queens' student who now works in Taiwan and the academy are looking to make partnership more formal in the future.
Queens' pupils Mohan Erbas and Bradley Prince said they "learnt a lot" from the visit.
The 12-year-olds said: "This term we were lucky enough to meet Taiwanese students. This allowed us to communicate with people from different part of the world.
"We communicated with them through the sport of basketball. We figured out a few of their names and would like the opportunity of seeing them again as we learnt so much from each other."
During the ten day visit, the 13 and 14-year-old students from Taiwan joined in lessons at the academy, and exchanged souvenirs and pictures with other students.
The students from Taiwan said they hope to have the chance to invite Queens' to have the opportunity to teach them about their culture.
Chancellor Chung Jin said international education can improve the international perspective of students, but can also enable students to recognize the roles and responsibilities of citizens of the world.
Pritam Vekaria, deputy head teacher at Queens' school, said: "We hope to do more work in the future as everyone learnt so much from each other, which is what international school links are all about. Thank you to everyone involved from both schools to make this such a memorable visit for all."

Pioneer Days In the Township Of Ennismore
The township of Ennismore was surveyed in 1823. Its first settlers were a portion of the immigrants under the Hon. Peter Robinson to the number of sixty-seven and their families, consisting in all of 297 souls. During the first year, including the journey up the Prescott, there were among these Ennismore settlers' nine births and twenty-three deaths. The official returns show their first year's produce to be 8900 bushels of potatoes, 3000 bushels of turnips and 1042 bushels of Indian corn. Of the 195 acres cleared up to that date (1826), 44 acres were sown in fall wheat. They had besides made 1330 pounds of maple sugar and owned among them four oxen, nine cows and ten hogs.
So large a result for their first year's labour was creditable to these new settlers, most of whom had not the remote idea of the proper methods to pursue in clearing and tilling their land. More than one of them attempted to burn the timber in the winter as he chopped it and in the spring some of them swept the ground with a besom (a bundle of twigs or boughs used as a broom) lest it might not be sufficiently clean for the seed about to be sown. For the first year or two oxen were very scarce and instead of harrowing in the grain, it was hoed in as best it could about the stumps.
The Chemong or Mud Lake in front was a serious obstacle in the way of procuring supplies; for as yet the settlers were too inexperienced to construct canoes of any service and consequently the wheat to the mill and the flour on their return, had to be carried on their shoulders round the head of the lake. Roads as yet were scarcely thought of; and thus heavily laden, they followed the "blaze" on the trees, through the brush, swamps and over fallen timbers as best they could. These laborious journeys and heavy burdens were not confined to the men, but even women too, at times, found it necessary to proceed laden with grain, to mill or market, and assisting their husbands and providing their families, performed feats of labour and endurance of which later times we have but a faint conception.
Sir Peregrine Maitland visited the settlement in Ennismore during his visit to Peterborough in 1826, accompanied by Col. Talbot of Western Ontario fame, Mr. Alexander McDonell, and others. They put up for a short time in the shanty of Mr. Eugene McCarthy, and partook of such refreshment as the settlement afforded.
During the last two years the population of Ennismore rather diminished than increased. There was no doubt owing to the fact that many of the younger men were obliged to seek in older settlements for employment at remunerating wages.
Ennismore is but a small township- it might be said a mere corner of Smith cut off from the remainder by Chemong Lake. It has near its centre a Roman Catholic Church, erected many years ago. There is also a Post Office of which Mr. Patrick Sullivan was first postmaster.
The soil of Ennismore is naturally rich and fertile and notwithstanding many drawbacks from inexperience and the isolation of the township by water, the patient perseverance of the settlers, in a few years, overcame the first difficulties and they and their families gradually grew into comparative wealth and independence.
This township is situated on the direst route between Peterborough and Bobcaygeon. Owing to the influx of settlers and the extensive lumbering operations carried on in the new townships bordering on that road during the years between 1850 and 1860, it was the thoroughfare for traffic between these points the bridging of the lakes on either side by the winter's ice affording the necessary facilities for such a transit. Several attempts were made to supply this necessary link of communication by bridging the water.
In February, 1842, a by-law was passed by the District Council authorizing the appropriation of twenty-six pounds currency from the wild land assessment fund of Ennismore for the purpose of building a scow and ferry boats on Mud Lake to ply from Galt's Landing in Ennismore to Edminson's Landing in Smith. The councillor for the township and two other persons chosen at the town meeting were appointed commissioners to have the same charge and to contract with a ferryman to perform this duty. The tolls to be charged, which were very low, were as follows: a span of horses and wagon, one shilling; a single horse, with or without a wagon, sixpence; a yoke of oxen and vehicle, nine pence; horned cattle per head, three pence; pigs and calves per head, two pence; each passenger, three pence.
The ferry thus established was kept in operation for a few years, but was found troublesome and expensive, and although a convenience to the public, was discontinued.
In 1854, a joint stock company was formed to construct a gravel road from Peterborough to Bobcaygeon, intending to cross Mud Lake by a bridge at the point mentioned, and thence passing across the township of Ennismore. Of this company Augustus Sawers was president, and William Lundy, Elias Burnham, James Stevenson, and W.S. Conger were directors, with Thomas White as Secretary. The town of Peterborough adopted a by-law pledging itself to $25,000. The township of Ennismore at a public meeting took stock to the extent of $15,000 and stock was otherwise taken, chiefly by private individuals, to the amount of $5,500, but the project, though launched under these favourable auspices, was not even commenced.
Nothing more seems to have been done until 1867, when the County Council passed a by-law on the 12th of October, in which it was resolved to raise the sum of $10,000 for the purpose of erecting and building a bridge across Chemong Lake from a point in the township of Smith to a point opposite in the township of Ennismore, also for a bridge across Pigeon Creek from Ennismore to Harvey, $1.400 to be raised annually by a special tax rate for the payment of said debt or loan. This by-law (No. 806) was signed by P.M. Grover, Warden and Edgar Pearse, County Clerk.
On the 19th of June, 1868, the following committee was appointed by the county to supervise construction of the two bridges: S.S.Peck, W.A.Scott, Peter Pearse, Isaac Garbutt and James Millar; these were to act jointly with a committee appointed by the town a few days before.
The contract was let to William Trennum, who spent about three years in their construction. The great timber floats were secured in the township of Harvey surrounding Sandy Lake, and were assembled at Scotchman's Point to be towed to the scene of the building. Mud Lake bridge was put together along the Smith shore in the vicinity of Nichol's woods, and on completion was towed into position, the event being celebrated by a dance on the new structure.
It proved a great boon to Ennismore, and from that day she continued to make rapid progress.
The original structure has been replaced by a new one, the Smith end having been moved north some distance to take advantage of a natural bar, which was filled in, and rendered the floating structure much shorter and less expensive to maintain.
The men who bore prominent positions as representatives of the people from 1852 to 1866 were as follows:
Daniel Costello, Patrick Gallivan, John Houron, P. Cunningham, S. McCarthy, Cornelius Sullivan, Martin Corkery, Jos. McCarthy,Patrick Sullivan, John Sullivan and Patrick Brick,

Wonder if Hillary has a sexism problem? Read this morning's column by Danielle Allen in the Washington Post:
Consider her slogan, "Fighting for us." For many men, this slogan would have to be experienced as emasculating.
Wait. Really? Are America's men really so easily afflicted with a sense of emasculation?
A woman fighting for them? Rightly or wrongly, the slogan rubs the wrong way in relation to traditional notions of masculinity.
Apparently so.
Her slogan itself reveals a limited conception of who she seeks to represent.
This, I don't get. "Us" is a fairly broad and innocuous term. The only way the slogan could be more rhetorically inclusive is if it it was "Fighting for us AND them." But that, uh, would present its own set of challenges.
How does Allen suggest Clinton overcome her problem?
Personally, she should meet his insults with a cheery silence, or a lighthearted deflectionary joke.Don't want to seem like an angry feminist! This, of course, cedes too much ground to Donald Trump -- he's free to continue his misogyny and the advice is not to counter it and call it out for what it is, but to smile and say something pleasant. It's the same advice women have been getting for years, and it's mostly been offered in order to keep men from feeling uncomfortable in the face of women's frustration with the behavior of bros.

I have recently started 6mm wargaming for both Cold War and WW2 and I would love to have a go at campaigning in this scale (I have never played a campaign before) I need some info on whats avaliable.
Ideally I am looking for something thats somewhat 'freeform' i.e. not a set number of battles that progresses like a story, I am thinking more along the lines of a 'campaign' map of Europe where you move your forces around and then engage the enemy, thus resulting in tabletop battles. Kinda like Risk in that sense!
Thanks in advanceRob
Thee are not many published campaign rules. Most people I know write their own.
Uber fast reply!
That was what I was thinking I might have to do, any links to free 'homemade' sets would be appreciated though.
Take a look at Operation & Objectives: designed originally for Rules of Engagement, can be simply converted for any ruleset actually
Command Decision had a nice set of campaign rules. Not quite the grand scale as you are describing, but it did allow for operations over a few days.
Use a board game to set up the battles. Those old SPI quad games are perfect, counters represent battalions. Decision Games is reissuing them, so they are not too pricey.
Platoon Forward by Too Fat Lardies is well worth checking out .
There's a really good site for Spearhead (WW2) and Modern Spearhead campaign and scenario generation.
It's at:link
There's a pdf there describing it.
It's pretty flexible and can be adapted for most rules.
Thanks for the replies guys, I'll certainly take a look at some of your suggestions!
Spearhead site has changed urls to
What do you mean by campaign rules? Rationally wargames become board games when the ground scale becomes too disparate. Rg when 1 figure represents 1 platoon. Do you meen a continental war? Is that what you want or is it really a series of interconnected games representaing say the advance of a single unit. That is a sort of Band of Brothers type scenario?
Sorry - only verified members can post on the forums.

UFC featherweight fighter Cole Miller has filed an appeal to the Massachusetts State Athletic Commisison following his loss to Manny Gamburyan at UFC Fight Night 26 (shown above). Following the commission's denial of his appeal, Miller responded vehemently on his own website.
By Christopher Murphy @MurphMMA
Cole Miller's contest with the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission regarding his loss to Manny Gamburyan at UFC Fight Night 26 has come to a conclusion, but it seems that the fighter is still looking for vindication as he recently posted the details of his appeal online.
Miller lost the fight to Gamburyan in a unanimous decision, but his appeal states that the fight should never have even started a second round.
"Here is the breakdown of what happened in between the first and second round of my bout with Manny Gamburyan this past August in Boston," Miller posted on his website. "The appeal was to the decision to let the fight continue after more than 2 minutes had gone by when a fighter is to receive 1 minute. If the fighter can not continue after one minute the fight must be stopped."
Miller added that he "wasn't allowed to argue this, but the judges gave Manny Gamburyan the decision, one giving him the nod for every single round. I was told by Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta I had won the fight. All major MMA websites scored the play by play for me 30-27 winning every round."
Despite the inability to challenge the decision, Miller compiled a list of infractions of rules that occurred between the first and second rounds of his fight that he felt – and continues to feel – warrant a change in the bout's outcome.
Perhaps the first and most significant of these infractions is the amount of time Gamburyan was given between the end of the first round and the beginning of the second round: over two minutes. Miller cites the commission's rules as stating, "A period of rest following a period of unarmed combat in a contest or exhibition of mixed martial arts must be one minute in duration."
Other infractions include Gamburyan's corner violating the rule allowing only one cornerman into the ring between rounds, and also violating the rule stating that cornermen cannot administer aid before a physician; and Miller also cited Gamburyan's corner for aiding the fighter in the area of Cole Miller's corner.
All of this, Miller states, he submitted to the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission along with video that he says conclusively proves his allegations.
Gamburyan spoke recently on BJPenn.com Radio, stating that Miller's elbows that stunned Gamburyan at the end of round 1 were to the back of the head; but Miller says that the referee that night, Yves Lavigne, told Miller the strikes were legal.
Miller did not state what his intentions are to follow up with the commission or take his appeal to a different jurisdiction.
We spoke to Miller about his appeal and that can be found HERE.
We also spoke to Manny Gamburyan about the appeal and he wasn't happy to say the least. Read his response HERE.
