Transocean Engineer Snubs Federal Agency Investigating Gulf Disaster
Transocean, the company from which BP leased the sunken Gulf oil rig, has refused to comply with a subpoena from federal investigators, according to The Hill.
"We question the jurisdiction and authority of the CSB to conduct an investigation in this matter," a lawyer for Stephen Bertone, Transocean's chief engineer on the Deepwater Horizon, said in a letter to the U.S. Chemical Safety Board. Bertone's lawyer argued that the safety board doesn't have jurisdiction for accidents offshore.
In June, lawmakers requested that safety board investigate the root causes of BP's Gulf disaster. The small federal agency had previously investigated BP's fatal Texas City refinery explosion in 2005.
The tiny, 40-person safety board also has to often fight larger government agencies for access to witnesses and evidence, according to the Journal. It's currently bumping up against the main federal investigation, pushing for access to the rig's failed blowout preventer, a key piece of evidence. Michael Bromwich, head of the Interior's Bureau of Ocean Energy, told the Wall Street Journal that the board has created "a disturbance and distraction."
Amid all the bureaucratic feuding, Transocean has also complained about the delay in forensic testing for the blowout preventer, according to the Associated Press. In a letter to Interior Department investigators, the company's lawyer said the equipment may be corroding and its value as evidence could be compromised.
A spokeswoman for the Bureau of Ocean Energy told AP investigators are "committed to preserving, securing and examining the evidence in accordance with standards developed in consultation with the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation to ensure that they will withstand the highest standard of judicial scrutiny."

The CSB acts independently from large government agencies. The reluctance of those agencies to allow CSB to conduct their investigation stems from fear. What if CSB's conclusions include faults with government agencies that were to oversee offshore drilling? What if CSB's conclusions point to regulatory changes that might be needed for offshore drilling? There is a lot more at stake than just determining the failure mechanism on the rig. The industry as whole has a vested interest in potential conclusions that could impair profit growth. It seems the government agencies are looking for fault, but not too much of course, that would be bad for business.
I should think that as time in the hooskow might cure the reluctance.


text: Business & EconomyEU ministers clinch deal on bank supervision European Central Bank granted authority to police euro zone's major banks and intervene when small lenders have trouble. 13 Dec 2012 06:24 GMT | Business & Economy, Europe, Germany, Greece, Ireland German finance minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said the new system on bank supervision begins in March 2014 [EPA]European Union (EU) finance ministers have agreed a deal granting the European Central Bank (ECB) new powers to supervise euro zone banks. The deal, clinched on Thursday, is the first step in a new phase of closer integration to help underpin the euro, the currency used in 17 EU member states. The ministers from the 27-member bloc held talks for more than 14 hours, ending months of tortuous negotiations and paving the way for the ECB to directly police the euro zone's biggest banks and intervene in smaller banks at the first sign of trouble. Live Box 201192615204954678 "We have a deal," said an EU official, sending the euro to a session high in Tokyo of 1.3080 against the US dollar. The plan sets in motion one of the biggest overhauls of any European banking system since the financial crisis began in mid-2007 with the near collapse of German lender IKB. The onus is now on EU leaders, who meet in Brussels on Thursday and Friday, to give their full political backing. Wolfgang Schaeuble, Germany's finance minister, said the new system to supervise banks in the euro zone would be up and running from March 1, 2014. "We have reached the main points to establish a European banking supervisor that should take on its work in 2014," Schaeuble told reporters in Brussels after talks with his counterparts.Settling the differences Schaeuble, who last week clashed openly with his French counterpart, Pierre Moscovici, over the ECB's role in banking supervision said legislation for supervision would be finalised following talks with the European parliament by February 2013, leaving the bank one year to prepare for its new task. After three years of piecemeal crisis-fighting measures, agreeing on a banking union lays a cornerstone of wider economic union and marks the first concerted attempt to integrate the bloc's response to banks' problem. With time running out to meet a year-end deadline, both sides managed to settle their differences and Germany won concessions to temper the authority of the ECB's Governing Council over the new supervisor. Agreement on bank surveillance is a crucial first step towards a broader "banking union," or common euro zone approach to dealing with failing banks that in recent years dragged down countries such as Ireland and Spain. The next pillar of a banking union would be the creation of a central system to close troubled banks. The decision also sends a strong signal to investors that the euro zone's members, from powerful Germany to stricken Greece, can pull together to tackle the bloc's problems.Source: Agencies

ANC Youth League leader Julius Malema had yet to file responding papers on Tuesday to a defamation case lodged by DA leader Helen Zille, her lawyer said.
Attorney Amanda Torr said Malema, as well as youth league spokesman Floyd Shivambu, Khayelitsha councillor Andile Lili and the youth league would have until close of business to file papers.
"If no papers are filed by the end of the day, we will launch an application for an order striking out the defendants' defence and that judgment be granted in favour of the plaintiff," she said.
Lili's attorney, Thobelani Sibiya, confirmed that he had filed papers for his client earlier in the day.
Two weeks ago, Western Cape High Court Judge Nathan Erasmus ordered the four to file papers in response to Zille's R1.4 million lawsuit, for comments they made about her and the Democratic Alliance from 2009.
She said Shivambu had called her a "racist girl" and claimed that her all-male executive were her boyfriends and concubines.
She also took issue with Malema calling her executive council a "group of racist Helen Zille garden boys" and referring to her as "racist", "colonialist" and "imperialist".
The group had yet to apologise or retract their statements. - Sapa

ARCHAEOLOGISTS have uncovered two mosaics at Chedworth Roman Villa which have not been seen for decades.
Two Roman mosaics not seen for years have been briefly uncovered by a team of National Trust archaeologists digging at Chedworth Roman Villa.
The mosaics are on the north side of the villa and are being studied before they will be covered up at the end of the week.
"It is wonderful to see something so rare being uncovered but they will only be on show briefly before being covered." said operations manager at Chedworth Roman Villa Alex Auden. If you can visit by Thursday afternoon you'll get a chance to see them." The archaeologists are spending two weeks digging near the Bath House on the north range of the villa to understand what Roman remains have survived and what will need to be done to protect them.
Already the mosaics are showing two very different standards of preservation.
"One of the mosaics uncovered is in beautiful condition while the other has been damaged by grass roots, but is still impressively intact," continued Alex.
"The first one was covered by a tarmac path which has protected the mosaic much better than the other which was under a thin layer of turf. The grass roots and weeds have got inbetween the mosaic tiles and water has leached through the turf washing away the lime mortar which holds the mosaic together.
"The tarmac is waterproof and has given much better protection to the mosaic."
The archaeologists are using the discovery to come up with a long term plan to protect the new mosaics at Chedworth.
Last year a new conservation building was opened over the mosaics on the West Range of the villa. The new cover structure gave better protection to the remains and mosaics while also allowing them to be displayed to the public and viewed from suspended walkways. The project has recently picked up one of the three Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) awards for the South West and was one of the only two UK projects shortlisted for the prestigious World Architecture Awards.
The archaeological investigations this August are part of a programme of several years of summer excavations at the Villa. The mosaic floors that are uncovered this month will be covered up again after careful examination and recording of their condition.

"You can't explain a painting, you have to feel it", is a line uttered in Gilles Bourdos's Renoir. Sadly, such a statement isn't quite as exclusive to cinema, and here is an example of a film that, although certainly alluring and pleasing on the eye, has very little beneath the surface, in desperate need of some patent definition, as this biopic of two of France's most renowned artistic talents doesn't quite match up to the innovation and exceptional capabilities that our subjects had in abundance.
What with Renoir and Thérèse Desqueyroux, it seems that French filmmakers are tapping into the current trend of period dramas, that have proved to be so successful across Europe with the likes of Downton Abbey and A Royal Affair. This takes place on the French Riviera across the summer of 1915, at the picturesque abode of ageing Impressionist painter Pierre-Auguste Renoir (Michel Bouquet), who finds a new lease of life when the liberating youngster Andrée Heuschling (Christa Theret) starts nude modelling for him. However once the artist's son Jean Renoir (Vincent Rottiers) returns home from World War One to overcome his injuries, the aspiring filmmaker falls in love with Andrée, as this playful and freewheeling model rejuvenates and inspires both father and son, who are inadvertently vying for her attention.
There is no denying the emphatic visual experience that Bourdos presents his viewer, however when you scratch beneath the surface here is a film lacking in depth, and there needs to be more to art than the mere aesthetic.The Renoir's would have professed to that, for sure. It's a shame considering we're delving into the lives of two such culturally important figures, with the latter of course becoming one of the most renowned directors of all time. However, what has been proved by this title, is that just because this family are made up of fascinating figures, who led fascinating lives, that doesn't instantly mean there's a film to be made of it.
Renoir ultimately feels too shallow and inconsequential, with a unfortunate sense of unfulfillment as we reach our finale. We delve into the lives of four people (the other being that of the youngest son Coco, played by Thomas Doret), all riddled with their own distinct personal issues, and yet we don't actually seem to deal with any of them substantially enough. Perhaps this title remains too ambitious, with a few too many big, considerable characters who all deserve lengthy screen time, and yet Bourdos is attempting to tell all of their correlating stories in one film. That said, it is intriguing how we peer into the lives of the Renoir family from the initial perspective of Andrée – as the viewer, much like she is, is an outsider and we learn about this grandiose lifestyle as she does.
Theret turns in a reasonable performance as our protagonist, though her character isn't particularly well crafted, and for somebody who is certainly imperfect, we don't quite explore her flaws in enough depth. Meanwhile, Doret, who was absolutely outstanding in The Kid With a Bike, hasn't got quite so much to work with in just his sophomore outing, yet he remains a talent to look out for. Another positive besides the acting performances, comes in the striking sequences featuring communal singing, a nod, perhaps, in the direction of Jean Renoir's La Grande Illusion.
There is just something unsatisfying about Renoir, as a feature that promises so much and yet delivers so little. Seeing as we've started on a quote from the movie, we may as well end on one too, as Jean Renoir says towards the end of the piece, "Cinema isn't for us French". No, not when you do it like this it's not.

There's this guy that likes me, not being conceded, he just makes it veryyy obvious. I've sent the long text gently letting him down and he didn't text me for a few days. But then he said he wasn't going to hold a grudge and wanted to be friends. Which I was cool with. Then he started flirting again. I thought maybe he is just one of those stupid guys that doesn't know how to talk to a girl without flirting, so I let it go and just didn't flirt back. Then he started getting creepy like saying he looks at my picture every day (my profile pic on fb, I never sent him one) and saying he wanted to come visit me at college (which is a two and half hour drive). I told him that he wasn't making me uncomfortable and that didn't do any good. So I've resorted to just not replying to his texts. Although he will send it two more times and when that doesn't work he just texts me 8 hours later asking how my day was or saying "good night beautiful." This has been going on for two weeks now. I just want him to go away! I feel like I've tried everything and been upfront. Anyone have other ideas of how to get this kid to leave me alone?
Most Helpful Guy
Unfortunately, only changing your number may help. Unless someone comes out with an text message blocking feature (Why isn't this standard on every phone? Insane!) he may continue to hound you.
If you do change your number, and you see him again- and he acts angry, like he has a right to text you- it is time for a restraining order. You should carry pepper spray on you anyway, so consider doing it if you don't already.
If you choose to carry pepper spray, buy two bottles, one for your keychain or purse, and the other to practice on. Practice hitting a paper plate tacked to a tree trunk, with a bullseye on it, so you know how to get his eyes. Sorry, but this is a messed up world we live in. If you were mine I'd teach you to use a subcompact handgun. (I carry a pistol and several magazines of ammunition with me every day.)00|00|0

• After getting off to a difficult start last season and not winning until January 26, Worcester picked up five more wins, including impressive victories away at Sale, and at home against Gloucester and Leicester. They finished off the season with back to back wins against Bristol and Newcastle.
• Worcester Warriors are yet to record an opening day victory, after losing three times and drawing once on opening weekends.
• In Northampton's last six premiership opening weekends, they've recorded two victories, a draw and three losses.
• Northampton have only played Worcester six times in the league, with Worcester winning four games to Northampton's two.
• Both of Northampton's victory came away from home in 2006, and in their most recent meeting Worcester edged it at Franklin's Gardens on New Year's Day 2007
• Worcester did the double over Northampton in the 2004/05 season, but Northampton have never done the double over Worcester.
Trends and Trivia
• In National One, Chris Ashton kicked off his rugby union career in some style, scoring an amazing 39 tries, followed by Bruce Reihana's 28 and Paul Diggin's 17. It remains to be seen whether Ashton can handle the intensity of Premiership rugby, but a season in National One will have certainly aided his development as a union player.
• Experienced utility back Bruce Reihana started 29 games in National One last year, and for Worcester, lock Craig Gillies started every league game.
• Northampton have recruited 12 players since their promotion, including three scrum halves, Ben Foden, Alan Dickens and Lee Dickson. Dickens is the most experienced, having started 61 Premiership games, Dickson has started 21 games and Foden 31 games, although the majority have come at either wing or fullback.
• Worcester have signed one of the best full backs in the world, in Chris Latham, and is likely to form a lethal back three with Rico Gear and Miles Benjamin. Benjamin scored nine tries in the league last season, and overall scored 16 tries from 21 starts.

GASB Press Release
In an effort to improve disclosures about the risks associated with derivative contracts, the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has released for public comment accounting guidance that would provide more consistent reporting by state and local governments. The proposed Technical Bulletin, Disclosure Requirements for Derivatives Not Presented at Fair Value on the Statement of Net Assets, is designed to increase the public's understanding of the significance of derivatives to a government's net assets and would provide key information about the potential effects on future cash flows.
While state and local governments use a vast array of increasingly complex derivative instruments to manage debt and investments, they also may be assuming significant risks. Governments must communicate those risks to financial statement users and the proposed Technical Bulletin would help clarify existing accounting guidance so that more consistent disclosures can be made across all governments.
In commenting on why the GASB believes this issue is so important, GASB Project Manager, Randal J. Finden, remarked, âThe market for derivative instruments has recently exploded for state and local governments as current financing needs have changed in connection with a more constrained budgetary environment. Some derivative contracts may pose substantial risks, and we want to help governments better disclose those risks in their financial statements.â
Governments would be required to disclose the derivative's objective, its terms, fair value and risks. The proposed accounting guidance would require governments to disclose in their financial statements credit risk, interest rate risk, basis risk, termination risk, rollover risk and market access risk.
This Technical Bulletin would be effective for periods ending after June 15, 2003. The proposed Technical Bulletin is available from the GASB's website. Comments on the proposed documents may be made through May 16, 2003.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — A man wanted for failing to appear in court turned himself in to police on Thursday wearing only a camouflage top.
Kanawha County sheriff's deputies were seeking Eden Holt Wolfe, 34, of Gallagher, for failing to appear in Kanawha Circuit Court in connection with transferring and receiving charges and a warrant for brandishing a weapon.
On Thursday, Wolfe called deputies and told them he was willing to turn himself in, according to a news release issued by Kanawha County Sheriff's Cpl. Brian Humphreys. He agreed to meet deputies at Standard Baptist Church in Gallagher, and according to the release, said he was "tired of running."
Arriving deputies found Wolfe at the church wearing only a camouflage top and no other clothing, according to the release. Wolfe had scratches on his face, legs and arms. He told deputies he had been bitten by a snake after falling into a snake pit.
Paramedics took him to CAMC General Hospital before he was arraigned in Kanawha County Magistrate Court. Wolfe was being held in South Central Regional Jail on Friday.

Status of Specific Claims in Canada
A key goal of Canada's Specific Claims Action Plan is to bring greater transparency to the process so Canadians can judge for themselves how the government is delivering on its commitment to resolve these claims.
As a key part of these efforts, a public report has been created to help track the progress made as individual First Nation claims move through the process. The status of individual claims is updated daily in a searchable report.
Search the status report. To learn more about specific claims, please review the key definitions and Frequently Asked Questions.
What information is available?
In this report, you will find up-to-date information about the status of individual First Nation specific claims, along with a brief description of the claim and key dates. The report includes facts about claims that are still being processed as well as claims that have already been resolved. Search the status report.
How to search the status report
You can access this searchable report in various ways. If you know the name of a particular claim(s) or the First Nation claimant, you can search by name. If you do not have these details, you can narrow your search by selecting the First Nation and/or the province/territory from a list. You can also search the report by the status of the claim (eg. in negotiation, settled) or by using a combination of any of the other search fields.

Looking at old phone bills will help you assess your usage. Asking friends and family about their experience with different networks will be the best way to figure out which provider covers your area best.
With this information you are ready to filter down the thousands of mobile phone plans available to a manageable list of real considerations. The WhistleOut comparison engine will help you dig into your shortlist to be sure that the plans you are looking at come with all of the features you need at a price that you think is fair.
We're the only website to dynamically compares single-line and multi-line mobile phone plans from all major mobile carriers across Australia:
Smartphones have quickly become an important part of a modern life. Like a computer in your pocket, a smartphone gives you access to the internet, apps, instant messaging and lots more.
Whether you're after a premium new Apple iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, or budget-priced models from Huawei and Alcatel, we can show you how to match this with your usage and data needs on a single line or for your whole family.
To help you choose, we've got comprehensive mobile phone reviews and ratings. We put all new phones through their paces, testing screen quality, camera performance, battery life and more.
We also pull in reviews from other experts from around the world to help find the right phone.
If there's a carrier exclusive phone, our technology also includes phone substitution where it can automatically insert a 'closest match' handset into search results for mobile providers who don't stock the exact model you are searching for.
Sim Only phone plans is a mobile phone service sold without a new phone handset, and usually without a long term contract. The provider gives you a SIM card to put into a phone you currently own which gives you access to their network and services.
SIM Only phone plans are becoming increasingly popular because of the flexibility you get from not being locked into a contract. With SIM Only, you are free to move to a different service provider any time you like.
These plans are also extremely affordable. Without an expensive phone to pay for, the monthly cost of a SIM Only service can be half as much as a traditional phone plan, or less.
Why choose a SIM Only phone plan?
The major advantages of SIM Only plans include:
There are a few important differences to consider when looking at Prepaid and Postpaid phone plans. With Postpaid plans, you are sent a bill at the end of the month which includes the monthly access fee plus any charges for usage on top of your standard inclusions.
With Prepaid plans, you need to recharge your account at the beginning of the month, and then again if you use up all of the included credit. You are protected from excess usage charges as your access to specific services will stop when you reach your limits.
Why choose Postpaid?
Why choose Prepaid?
You might be surprised to know how much money you can save on your phone bill each month. Phone plans can include numerous extra features, but you will save money by not paying for features you don't use. Consider the following to see whether you are currently on the right plan.
Our best tip is to give the little guys a shot. There may be comfort in dealing with the major providers, but it is the smaller telcos that have the best deals. These companies share the major networks, so you don't miss out on coverage or speed, and some have local call centres offering great customer support.
Also, choose no contract plans and keep an eye out for a bargain. Phone plans change all the time and you can move your phone number to whichever provider you like. When you spot a great deal, jump on it!

Early intervention in rheumatoid arthritis pays off
Early intervention in rheumatoid arthritis pays off
ABSTRACT: The outlook for patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has improved greatly, but many questions remain, including when to initiate therapy and what drugs to use. Recently issued recommendations for managing early RA include referring patients who present with arthritis of more than 1 joint to a rheumatologist. Combination's of drugs have been shown to be more effective than monotherapy. The tumor necrosis factor α inhibitors have revolutionized treatment, and other biologic agents are available for those who have an inadequate response. Making the diagnosis early often presents a challenge. Recently, a prediction rule was published for patients with undifferentiated arthritis of recent onset. The imaging focus for early arthritis has shifted from radiographs to ultrasonography and MRI. (J Musculoskel Med. 2008;25:70-76)
In the past, the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often foretold a future of joint damage resulting in a patient's loss of function and inability to participate in the workforce,1 decreased life expectancy, and increased health care costs.2 However, the outlook for patients with newly diagnosed RA has improved greatly over the past 20 years.3 The advent of earlier treatment, the use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in combination, and the use of biologic response modifiers have been shown to slow the progression of radiographic joint damage and maintain or improve physical function in patients who present with RA.4
Current patients with RA are less likely than patients in 1985 to have significant work disability, decreased physical function, and premature mortality.3 However, many questions remain about when to initiate therapy, what combination of drugs to use, how to monitor disease activity, and when to adjust therapy. In this article, I attempt to provide some useful answers.
Clarifying early arthritis
What is early arthritis? How is it different from RA that fulfills the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria? How should it be managed and measured? In a recent report, a select European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) committee took on the daunting task of answering these questions. From their hard work arose a welcomed clarity about the complicated and evolving area of early arthritis.
The study used a standard EULAR approach of asking 14 rheumatology experts from 10 European countries to generate matters of interest about the management of early arthritis. From this process arose 12 management recommendations.
This clinical road map to early arthritis, supported by proper legends and mileposts, was the first of its kind. Early management of RA has become a mantra, but how to address the earliest stirrings of joint inflammation that can resolve or evolve into RA has heretofore involved extrapolating from lessons learned with RA.1,2
A fitting first recommendation was that patients presenting with arthritis of more than 1 joint should be referred to and seen by a rheumatologist, ideally within 6 weeks after the onset of symptoms. Recommendations also included the following:
• The clinical examination is the method of choice for detecting arthritis (ultrasonography, MRI, or power Doppler may be used in difficult cases).
• Some screening laboratory tests (eg, antinuclear antibodies) are needed for exclusion of other disorders, such as systemic lupus erythematosus.
• Factors that predict persistent or erosive disease (eg, anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide [anti-CCP], rheumatoid factor [RF]) should be measured, and patients at risk for persistent or severe RA need to be treated immediately and with NSAIDs, short courses of corticosteroids or intra-articular corticosteroids, and the anchor drug methotrexate (MTX), aiming for remission.
In spite of cardiovascular, GI, and other concerns about NSAIDs and cyclooxygenase 2 selective inhibitors, most physicians in my division of 44 rheumatologists still include an NSAID in the regimen and add a proton pump inhibitor or, if needed, low-dose aspirin. As always, the physician in partnership with an informed patient must make cost-benefit decisions about all medications, including NSAIDs.
• Monitoring of disease activity (using tender/swollen joint counts, patient and physician global assessments, C-reactive protein level [CRP], erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR], the Health Assessment Questionnaire [HAQ], or the Disease Activity Score [DAS]) is mandatory every 1 to 3 months; in addition, joint damage assessment using plain x-ray films every 6 to 12 months is needed.
• Treatment adjuncts (eg, dynamic exercises) may be applied along with pharmacological measures.

Cooking Class: Grit & Grace's Asparagus Salad With Bulgur Wheat and Tarragon Dijon Dressing
Executive chef Curtis Gamble was in the process of moving back to Pittsburgh when he saw an ad for an executive chef at a suburban restaurant. When he interviewed for the job, however, the owner told Gamble another restaurant he was developing Downtown with business partner Brian Pekarcik might be an even better fit.
That restaurant was Grit & Grace, which opened in late December on Liberty Avenue. There, Gamble prepares a variety of small and large plates for the Cultural District crowd, as well as salads, sandwiches and noodles for business types looking to lunch.
"We try to make sure things are crafted and thoughtful, yet accessible," says Gamble, 32, of Edgewood. "We're just trying to make really delicious foods. We use modern techniques, but accessible foods. It's not super-technique-driven or super-modern."
According to the menu, "everything needs an opposite in order to exist … to achieve balance." Co-owner Pekarcik, of Fox Chapel, who owns Grit & Grace with Rick Stern, says the dishes are a mix of ethnic, casual foods and some refined items. Pekarcik and Stern also own Spoon and BRGR locations.
Small and large plates at Grit & Grace include Braised Daikon with crispy tofu, baby bok choy, mushrooms, green onion and hot and sour mushroom essence, for $14; Braised Goat with appams (a type of South Indian pancake), garlic and ginger mashed potatoes, curry, creme freche and lime, for $20; and Seared Hanger Steak with roasted asparagus and buttermilk fried onion rings, the most expensive menu item, for $22.
"Most items on the menu are $20 and below," Pekarcik says.
Other dishes include Corned Duck Breast Ramen, with confit leg, noodles, 1-hour egg, kohlrabi and pickled mustard seeds, for $14; and Smoked Brisket with kohlrabi kraut, Thousand Island sabayon, pickled red onions and corned beef tongue, for $10.
Grit & Grace is one of those narrow, modern restaurant spaces reminiscent of a modern Manhattan eatery. Upholstered banquettes cozy up booths. Wavy wooden slats sinuously curve overhead and up the wall to niches containing vases and other accents. Recycled, pressed cardboard light fixtures illuminate the bar area.
"We're trying to capture the atmosphere of a big-city, urban restaurant," Pekarcik says, "something very lively and energetic in nature and social in atmosphere."
He says patrons have embraced the concept. The owners originally thought younger customers would patronize Grit & Grace, "but we were pleasantly surprised at how diverse the demographic is," Pekarcik says.
Gamble is a native of Tiffin, Ohio, south of Toledo. His return to Pittsburgh is a homecoming of sorts. He came to the city at 17 to attend the former Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts. After he finished the program, he found he "really liked Pittsburgh," so he cooked for three years on the South Side.
His wife, Valerie Blake, is a University of Pittsburgh law school graduate. The two moved to Cleveland. Gamble then worked at the Black River Cafe in Oberlin, where he started butchering whole animals.
The couple eventually settled in Chicago, where Gamble helped open Bread & Wine there, but "we thought we had to get back to Pittsburgh with everything exciting going on," he says. His wife obtained a job teaching law at Duquesne University.
"I'm cooking the same things I did in Chicago. I really haven't had to change that, coming back to Pittsburgh," Gamble says. Younger diners, in particular, "are very adventurous with what we do."
Gamble is excited that Pittsburgh has "officially arrived on the national� scene," with the city receiving national recognition for its lively culinary activity.
"I'm excited to be back," Gamble says.

Asparagus Salad With Bulgur Wheat and Tarragon Dijon Dressing
Curtis Gamble, executive chef at Grit & Grace, enjoys juxtaposing varied ingredients, particularly if they are fresh, local and a bit unexpected. With asparagus available in the spring, and green-meat radishes available at local farmer's markets, he created an asparagus salad that uses both.
Gamble combines the fresh vegetables, bulgur wheat and pickled eggs with a tarragon Dijon dressing that makes for a fresh-tasting, zesty salad.
For the asparagus:
1 large bunch asparagus
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Heat an oven to 400 degrees. Remove the woody stems from the asparagus and toss them in olive oil (see photo 1). Season them with salt and pepper. Roast for 6 minutes and chill.
For the wheat:
1 1⁄2 quarts water
1 quart bulgur wheat
Bring the water to a boil and pour it over the bulgur wheat in a bowl. Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap. Let it stand for 5 minutes, then fluff it with a fork. Cool.
For the pickled eggs:
4 hard-boiled eggs
1 quart red-wine vinegar
1 cup sugar
Combine all the ingredients and chill.
For the tarragon dressing:
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 ounces white balsamic vinegar
1 ounce water
6 ounces canola oil
1 tablespoon tarragon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Combine the mustard, vinegar and water in a food processor or blender (photo 2). With the motor running, slowly drizzle in the oil, then fold in the tarragon. Season with salt and pepper.
For the salad:
1 small bunch French breakfast radishes or one green-meat radish, available at farmers markets, sliced thinly (photo 3)
Pinch salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
2 or 3 leaves Bibb or Boston lettuce, torn in small pieces
Toss the asparagus with enough salad dressing to coat; set the asparagus on each of four plates. Top each with a dollop of bulgur wheat. Chop each pickled egg and add one to each dish.
In a small bowl, combine the sliced radishes with a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper. Add 1 tablespoon of the dressing to the radishes.
Divide the radish slices by four. Place each of the four servings of radishes around the bulgur wheat.
Toss the lettuce in a separate bowl with 1 tablespoon of the dressing and use it to garnish the bulgur wheat on each of the four plates (photo 4).
Makes 4 servings.

Purchase Reason
I was really disappointed in this map! The colour is way more orangey and red in person. I thought it was going to be brown-vintagey coloured, but it was not. Disappointed as I am now not going to use it for its intended purpose as the colour is not that appealing. Alaska is also cut off as well as the legend. IN my opinion it is not that vintage looking.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Problems You Don't Get at the Office
* = NAH's written up the meeting's minutes showing Skimble as an attendee, so I guess that makes him our company's sleeping partner ;)
If you work at home, what unforeseen problems have you encountered which differ from office life?
20 comments:
Fun post VP and oh so true! I've encountered quite a few problems in my home office with many members of the Bliss team (printer, keyboard, mouse) and Tara is not helping either. Perhaps I'll do a post on it too one of these days.ReplyDelete
Have a lovely weekend!
Hi Yolanda - I thought you'd like this :)ReplyDelete
As for your question on my previous post, I think it must have been peeking when I read about your pond last night ;)
Enjoy your weekend!
You have distracted me from my birdwatching!! I am sucker for a cat photo. Mine are a nightmare - they sit on the mousemat, they pat the moving cursor on the screen leaving dirty paw marks, they wander around in front of the screen so all I can see is cat bottoms, they think they can both fit on my lap at once like they did when they were kittens (they can't so they form a pile on top of me), they want to go out the window, they want to come in the window, they sit by the printer when it is printing photographs and swipe at them leaving cat hairs stuck to them, they line up in front of my SAD light box so that I don't get any light from it and if I don't give them any attention they thunder downstairs and wreck the kitchen.ReplyDelete
Did you say "work at home"? No chance of that..
I don't have any cats here, but when I try to help my mom w/ her computer at her house, they are all over me and the keyboard and the mouse.ReplyDelete
When I work in my home office, the close proximity of the refrigerator and pantry keeps me distracted looking for and eating food!
Hope your weekend is going well!
unforseen problem--how long the hours stretch when doing home-based childcare. on the plus side, i have more opportunity to fit in household upkeep whenever a minute pops up.ReplyDelete
Right this very moment, James is laying on my right foremarm. I can use the mouse no problem, but am typing left-handed! I actually prefer my furry friends to many of my colleagues!ReplyDelete
I don't work at home--not for pay, anyway:) But blogging is sometimes difficult as Toby likes to sit in front of the monitor. It's rather hard to read blogs when there's a big white Himalayan cat blocking your view:)ReplyDelete
I'm typing this while peering round one of my cats. She finds the gap between the keyboard and the monitor very handy!ReplyDelete
No work-at-home problems to relate, but my cat does love to lie in the small space between my monitor and keyboard...and he's a very large, very fluffy cat. :)ReplyDelete
I'll have to ask R about this one.ReplyDelete
So far as I'm aware, the main problem he encounters working from home is that there's no-one to stop him playing patience on the computer.
I suspect he would say that his main problem is having me wanting him to carry the washing up the stairs, or tell me what it says on the metoffice weather forecast when he's trying to concentrate, though.
I used to transcribe from home and there was always a cat reading over my shoulder, very distracting. Then there were the toddlers waking up too early or going down to late and messing up my schedule. Also, one of the kittens chewed through several cables costing lots of dollars to keep me working.ReplyDelete
I have to admit, the garden distracts me when I work at home. But since I also write about gardening, then I can claim I'm really working, can't I? (What a sneak I am!)ReplyDelete
What a big cat! I think that it's the same for anyone who has cats. xxReplyDelete
Looks familiar;)ReplyDelete
At the moment I'm glad I dont have to work at home.
I would probably get neck problems instantly as one of my companions love to hang around my neck... He even falls asleep, and start sliding down and --ouch!
We have both worked freelance since 1982, when we set up our own Ltd. Co. too. For the most part we worked at Client sites, where ever they happened to be. We chose to live where we do because it was readily commutable for any part of England south of Birmingham, between London, Bristol and the South Coast. For the past 7 years that has been entirely working from home, with the very occasional trip to the office in East Grinstead, and even less frequently trips to clients (Edinburgh, Denver, etc)ReplyDelete
Cats on keyboards are a perennial problem for both of us, as are cats on drawing boards for me.
The most difficult one to deal with is surprise visits from VAT Man (although this hasn't happened for a while).
Power and internet outages are the biggest problem however, as we design and develop software that requires us to be connected to our clients via VPN whenever we are working.
No power, no internet, no work, no income!
Lots and lots of luck with your and NAH's venture!
My poor beleaguered spouse deals with his numerous work emails every night at home. The problem is that we have only 1 pc and with 4 of us in the house, it can be quite a competition. For the amount of work he does at home, his company should give him a work laptop, but apparently, there's no chance of that. For me, the biggest challenge is the nearly continuous interruptions from the children when they are home, needing something or needing to tell me something.ReplyDelete
No need for central heating with your own lap cat VP. For me when I was working from home, the biggest distraction was the greenhouse just yards away from the study window. I had to exercise great self restraint.ReplyDelete
Arabella - we've been having those exact problems today. Don't you just love having cats?ReplyDelete
Carol - welcome! Ah yes, the ever present food problem, particularly when NAH is around as he's always offering to go and get the biscuits or cake. I think we're just going to have to stop buying or making any.
Petoskystone - that sounds quite hard, we're bad enough at just looking after ourselves...
Monica - you're definitely James' staff not owner then ;)
Rose - I have that problem with Skimble as he's so big. With Jess it's more her wandering up and down the keyboard and purring loudly in my ear that's the problem!

Indiana worker critically hurt in fall into manure pit
A worker at a southwestern Indiana pig operation has been critically injured after falling into a pit filled with hog manure.
Griffin Fire Chief Tim Compton tells the Evansville Courier & Press that an employee of Griffin Pig fell into an 8-foot-deep pit that is used to hold manure. The manure produces methane gas, which is highly explosive and can cause asphyxiation.
Compton says the incident occurred about 8 a.m. The worker was in the pit for about 45 minutes before another employee noticed and flagged down a Wadesville firefighter.
The firefighter used a rope to lower himself into the pit and rescue the man.
The worker was flown by helicopter to an Evansville hospital. Compton did not release his name.

Haynes are well known for their car maintenance manuals with their anatomical-style cut-away pictures and step by step guides for home car care. However, the increasing complexity of our cars means we're more reliant nowadays on garage mechanics rather than doing it at home.
So Haynes have diversified their offering into other areas; adapting the style where needed, but generally keeping to their philosophy of using clear, colourful diagrams and pictures to get the information across to readers. I've been offered the pick of their catalogue a couple of times this year, and have chosen three* garden related manuals to review.
Garden Landscaping Manual by Paul Wagland. This is aimed at gardeners who are considering the DIY approach to a major hardscaping project. It would be a good start for anyone who's bought a new-build house and is looking to create a garden from the brown, muddy patch or wall to wall lawn the builders have left them with.
Pretty much every element of a garden is included, from a simple hanging basket, through all manner of hardscaping projects to pond construction. The pictures are clear and the text explains each job well. There's also an excellent introduction to the tools needed and advice on health and safety.
The chapter on design however, is sketchy, so readers will need to look elsewhere for more guidance or get a professional in to help them. This isn't really the book to help with more complicated projects either, such as dealing with a slope.
This is a good book to help decide whether the project you have in mind is do-able, or whether some expert help is required.
Allotment Manual by Paul Peacock is aimed at beginner allotment holders or anyone considering allotment life. There are plenty of similar guides on the market already; this one differs because it also includes introductory chapters on how to find an allotment and one describing the community aspects of allotment life, including running a tool share and holding a show. These are useful in helping a potential allotment holder decide whether having an allotment is for them. However, not all of these aspects apply to a particular site, so the reader should bear this in mind.
There are the usual chapters on plot planning and soil preparation and guides to fruit, vegetable and herb growing, plus a month by month guide to the tasks required to look after the plot. The usefulness of the chapters on livestock (hens and bees) and greenhouse/polytunnels will depend on what an individual site's regulations allow.
Overall, this is a well thought out guide, with clear text and plentiful pictures which holds up well in comparison with similar books on the market.
Mr Digwell: A Year in the Garden by Paul Peacock is slightly different to Haynes' usual approach. Mr Digwell is a cartoon character from the Daily Mirror and the bulk of book's content is cartoon strip driven instead of Haynes' usual photograph/diagram based approach. This is a general gardening book covering both herbaceous gardening and food production.
The book is calendar based, divided primarily into the four seasons, then into the appropriate months for each season. Each month starts with a week by week list of tasks followed by various guides to looking after plants or general gardening tasks appropriate for that month.
If a reader is looking for overall guidance on soil preparation, they will find some of it in the autumn to winter section at the end of the book, whilst making compost and soil conditioning are in the winter to spring section at the start. It means that getting an overview of what's needed for general soil care comes out rather jumbled. There are gaps too - there's nothing on soil pH and testing for instance.
Gardeners who prefer a monthly calendar to work from will feel most comfortable with this guide. However, care still needs to be taken. For instance the guide to tomato growing is in January's section (which in itself is a bit strange), but the bulk of the care described happens in the summer months. I believe the author has missed a trick because the weekly tasks guide for each month could have included a reminder of the tasks (with a cross-referenced page) described in other months.
Anyone considering organic gardening should note that pest control errs on the chemical side and the general emphasis isn't peat-free.
Overall, this book comes out too muddled and lacking in content to be the encyclopedic guide claimed in the introduction. It's a fun idea, but there are far better general gardening books on the market.
In conclusion
The first two books reviewed are good for beginners. The Mr Digwell guide is also better for beginners (not expert alike as claimed) and is probably more suitable for someone who's a fan of the Daily Mirror cartoon. If anyone wants to grow more unusual fruit, vegetables or flowers, then they will need to look for supplementary information elsewhere.
* = a fourth one I've given to Diary of a Novice Beekeeper to review as it's their Bee Manual. Whilst we await his full report, he's said it's pretty good for the interim.

Nice ship; nice weather: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by HartfordCTChris
Overall Member Rating
Nice ship; nice weather
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
The ship is newer and one of the larger Carnival ships. The 5th floor has hot tubs on each side and an outdoor section,one side they even have a BBQ setup for a couple of lunches. It's a feature I hadn't seen on the lower floor on other ships.
We tried the anytime dining for the 1st time. Not sure that I really liked it, to be honest. Waiting in line, one time we said we waned a two top and got a great one by the window, but the rest of the time we were with shared tables -- that can go really nicely or not. The apprehension was not worth the flexibility in times in my opinion. If you had a group of 4 - 6, it might be a great option though.
I thought the More pools were nice and it was so hot, you really had to take dips in the pool to cool off. It still always surprises me that it's salt water, despite a lot of cruising. It makes it nice really. They even have some umbrellas on deck; a very nice touch if you can snag a space under one.
We ate in the buffet for dinner a couple of times. I thought you'd basically have the same options as in the dining room, but I was wrong... I would say buffet lunch is better than buffet dinner.
Despite reading other reviews before the trip, I was very happy that my food was hot! Sometimes there were lines, but other times there were not, so it depends on when you eat. The last sea day were were going to try the pasta bar upstairs from the buffet and it was closed off and a line waiting as it was full. So I suggest you might want to do the Italian before the last day.
Getting off the boat was a breeze. We were afraid to take the 11 something flight from Melbourne but we were there before 9AM... so waiting until the 2:20 flight was long so I wished I had booked the earlier departure, but it's hard to judge.
All in all it was a nice cruise, nice price and great weather, although it was a bit bumpy the last day at sea.
Oh, one last note, the boat was 95% full of folks from the South. You may want to being a southern translation dictionary with you, because some of the time you have no clue what is being said if you are not from the South. WANG = WING, BEAD = BED Less

Cabin review: 8F7441 Balcony
I found this cabin to be very noisy in a number of ways... it was the 2nd noisiest room I have had. The curtain holders rattled, the hangers rattled and other parts of the rooms made noise. Plus people were continuously slamming the balcony doors, which are very heavy. The worse was the people next door and their TV. I could hear every word as though it was the TV in my room on loud, and that was with the ear plugs in! I actually had to call them after a few days and ask if there was any way they could lower the volume. It was better after that, but those walls are so thin. It was pretty bad.Read All Balcony (8F) Reviews >>

Averhoff Reservoir 2004 Survey Report (PDF 244.2 KB)

Averhoff Reservoir - 2004 Survey Report
Prepared by John A. Dennis and Randall A. Myers
Inland Fisheries Division
District 1-D, San Antonio, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 21-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Averhoff Reservoir was surveyed from June 2004 to May 2005 using electrofishing, trap nets, gill nets, a littoral zone habitat survey, an aquatic vegetation survey, and an angler access and facilities survey. This report summarizes the results of the surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on those findings.
Reservoir Description
Averhoff Reservoir (174 acres) is a riverine reservoir located on the Nueces River, near Crystal City, TX, in Zavala County. It was constructed by the Zavala-Dimmit Water Improvement District Number 1 in 1948 to provide water for agricultural, recreational, and flood control purposes. Water level records are currently not recorded. Access was fair with only one public ramp and there were no handicap specific facilities. The primary shoreline habitat feature was overhanging brush. Aquatic vegetation occupied about 4 acres of the reservoir with Illinois pondweed, Egyptian paspalidium, and stargrass being the predominant species.
Fish Community
- Prey species: Electrofishing catch rate of gizzard shad ranged from 30.0-50.0/h in 2004, 2000, and 1998. Gizzard shad Index of vulnerability (IOV) was 24, indicating a low availability of gizzard shad as forage for predators. Threadfin shad were not collected in 2004 and 2000 and only one threadfin shad was collected in 1998. Electrofishing catch rate of bluegill was similar in 2004, 2000, and 1998, ranging from 100.0-122.0/h. Bluegill Proportional Stock Density (PSD) was low (5-16) in 2004, 2000, and 1998 indicating a high proportion of the population was of suitable size to be prey for predators. Electrofishing catch rate of all other sunfishes combined was 110.0fish/h. Sunfish are the dominant forage in this reservoir.
- Catfishes: Gill net catch rate of channel catfish was 3.6/NN, similar to the 2002 catch rate of 3.2/NN, but lower than the 2001 catch rate of 6.0/NN. Relative weights (Wr) were above 80 for all fish in all three sample years. PSD was high in 2005, 2002, and 2001 (ranging from 72-95) indicating the majority of the population is larger sized fish. Two flathead catfish were collected (one 24-inch and one 25-inch, total length). No blue catfish were collected in 2005.
- Largemouth bass: Electrofishing catch rate of largemouth bass in 2004 (50.0/h) was similar to the catch rate of 46.0/h in 2000 and higher than the catch rate of 27.0/h in 1998. Largemouth bass PSD ranged from 22 in 2004 to 28 in 1998. Largemouth bass average Wr ranged from 80 to 103. Electrophoretic analysis of age-0 and age-1 fish collected in 2004 indicated a 52.6% frequency of Florida largemouth bass alleles with 6.9% of the sample having the Florida largemouth bass genotype.
- White crappie: Trap net catch rate of white crappie was low in 2004 (1.6/NN) and similar to in 1998 (0.4/NN) and 2000 (1.4/NN).
Management Strategies
- Based on survey results all species should continue to be managed under current harvest regulations.
- Monitor fish populations with standard sampling conducted every fourth year.
- Stock threadfin shad.
- Prepare a press release detailing availability of water body fish records to be set in the reservoir.

|From: Jepri (jepri at babylon.alphacomplex.org)
Date: Mon May 15 05:08:01 EDT 2006
Hi all, I'm having a little trouble moving a "binary" file from a HTTP client program to a HTTP servlet, both written in PLT scheme. I can upload files fine until I send a "binary" file which contains incorrect UTF-8 codes (e.g. an executable file). It looks like the web server is interpreting my data as a UTF-8 string because the data I get in the servlet is a string with some bytes like *FF* replaced with question marks. The relevant code I am using is: client: (post-impure-port full-url my-bytes) and on the server I'm trying to get at the bytes with servlet: (define start initial-request) (request-bindings/raw initial-request) ... and that nearly works. So my questions are... can I persuade the PLT server to give my servlet raw bytes instead of a UTF-8 string? Is there a different web server I could use that would just hand me a port instead of a data structure? How could I do a HEAD request from the client? The docs only mention get-xxxx-port and post-xxxx-port, I couldn't find head-xxxx-port anywhere. And on a completely unrelated note, how do I get the type of a variable? (display ... ) seems to know, but I can't find the right command in the manual. Thanks in advance, Jeremy
