OPPOSITION Leader Tony Abbott has again signalled his support for incumbent ACT senator Gary Humphries, who faces a preselection battle this weekend.
Former Canberra Liberals leader Zed Seselja is challenging Senator Humphries for the top spot on the ACT Liberals senate ticket.
Mr Seselja led the Canberra Liberals to their best-ever territory election result last October, winning eight of 17 seats - although Labor still managed to retain minority government.
Mr Seselja last week stood down as ACT opposition leader to pursue preselection.
On Wednesday, Mr Abbott said he supported all of his parliamentary team.
"I've made it very clear that while I absolutely endorse competition and choice inside our party, Gary has been a fine member of my frontbench," he told reporters in Melbourne.
"I very much look forward to him continuing."
Senator Humphries, a former ACT chief minister, has represented the territory federally since 2003.
He was appointed a shadow parliamentary secretary in 2009.
The Canberra Liberals preselection vote is on Saturday.

It seems the Fall of 2012 has been a season of goodbyes.
We recently said farewell to our founding director Kim Rorschach and on Sunday (December 9, 2012) we bid adieu to the four colossal works of art from Los Angeles contemporary artist Mark Bradford. Since the summer installation we've been enamored with their grandeur and intricacy and came back to visit them time and time again. Bradford is an artist the museum supported early on whose work we have wanted in our collection. In honor of our founding Director Kim Rorschach, we presented her with an awe-inspiring suite of six new Mark Bradford prints – his first effort in this medium – which reflect the same interest in found material expressed throughout his career. Although we do not have any specific dates at the moment, the Nasher Museum intends to display these works of art in the future.
Over the past 10 years, Mark Bradford has emerged as one of the most inventive and accomplished artists of his generation. In 2009 he received the MacArthur Foundation "genius" award and in 2010 a traveling mid-career survey of his work was organized by the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio. Bradford is best known for his large-scale, painterly collages and installations that demonstrate his interest in mapping communities and underground economies. His works are largely made from signage and salvaged materials, often taken from the streets of South Central Los Angeles where he lives. Bradford speaks to the adaptive nature of merchant culture by incorporating informal business posters, which advertise everything from gun shows to credit repair. He tears, paints, bleaches, sands and embellishes his materials to create abstract works that reimagine the city and reconfigure the urban landscape. Bradford's broader practice, which includes video and sound, also offers subtle investigations of class, race and gender in the United States. This is the first installation of Mark Bradford's work at the Nasher Museum since the 2007 exhibition Street Level: Mark Bradford, William Cordova, and Robin Rhode.
Images: Mark Bradford, Untitled, 2012. Suite of six prints; etching, photogravure, and chine-collé on paper; 20 x 16 inches (50.8 x 40.6 cm) each.

text: Going to be smoking some snausages this weekend that I am picking up from the Philadelphia Italian Market.....I see a lot of posts with people making there own snausages at home with different recipes and smoking it. Unfortunately I do not have the time or equipment (......yet) to do it myself. I'm still new to the game, so need to prove to my wife I'm good at smoking before I make a ton of investment in it.....i'll tell you this though....what I have done so far is a lot of fun Sooooooo....... My question is ........ If I pick up some snausages how long should they smoke for and at what temp and what IT should I stop at..... I see some stuff about gradually increasing smoker temp but not sure if I should be doing that or if that is just for people making it at home and has to do with the casings. I am also going to make some of Dutchs "wicked baked beans" that I have been salivating all over today.... Also my wife isn't a huge meat eater so does anyone have anything else besides chicken that I could impress her with Thanks in advance and I will post some photos of this weekend smoke Butch

Families of Sept. 11th victims are calling for federal standards to be set on the handling of human remains from disasters. The group is calling for congressional hearings to set an ethical protocol for the remains.
The group opposes a plan to put unidentified remains of 9/11 victims in a repository at the World Trade Center memorial museum. Families say that would desecrate the memory of their loved ones.
Their opposition comes after the Pentagon revealed partial remains of several victims were incinerated by a military contractor and sent to a landfill. The disclosure came in a report by an independent panel that studied underlying management flaws at Dover Air Force Base mortuary in Delaware.

25th May, 2010
ENGLAND, UK, 25TH MAY 2010: Having recently announced a full redevelopment of its flagship title Galaxy on Fire 2, celebrated Hamburg-based developer FISHLABS has teamed up with creative writing specialist, Pure Square Go, to handle the redevelopment of the game's epic sci-fi storyline.
"From the start it has been very important for us that Galaxy on Fire 2 becomes the premium title in the iPhone and iPad's sci-fi adventure realm, and we are therefore putting every aspect of its development under the microscope," says Michael Schade, CEO of FISHLABS Entertainment."The story is an essential part of the experience, so it's vital that it receives as much attention as every other aspect of the Galaxy on Fire 2 iPhone and iPad adaptation."
The game follows the continuing story of heroic adventurer Keith T. Maxwell, who is thrown into the future after a hyperdrive malfunction. The galaxy is now facing a new threat as an unknown enemy uses wormhole technology to raid surrounding systems.
Old friends and new allies come to Keith's aid as he takes on this powerful threat, and all new scenes will be added to the iPhone and iPad adaptation to further enrich the game's grand story.
"FISHLABS created a great character in Keith T. Maxwell, and established a fertile mythology in the galaxy he explores," says Pure Square Go co-founder Spanner Spencer."Our challenge as the writers on Galaxy on Fire 2 is to tell Keith's action-packed story through the gameplay as well as through in-game dialogue and scripting, and bring that rich, galactic mythology to life. We want to create a narrative that's as entertaining as Galaxy on Fire 2's outstanding gameplay."
Galaxy on Fire 2 is currently in its alpha build for iPhone, iPad and high-definition Nokia devices and is scheduled for launch towards the end of 2010.
FISHLABS specialises in 3D mobile games development on iPhone, iPad, Nokia, Android smartphones and J2ME (Java). The company's successful brands include the award-winning titles Galaxy on Fire™, DEEP™, Blades&Magic™, Rally Master Pro™, and Snowboard Hero™.
FISHLABS is also known for extremely successful ad games on iPhone for clients like Volkswagen and Barclaycard, having dominated the App Store download charts in almost every country for weeks. To date, FISHLABS' iPhone games have generated more than 24 million downloads.

Pure Square Go was established to provide professional writing services for the games industry with a strong focus on narrative design, character development and narratively informed gameplay mechanics.
Pure Square Go draws its talent from creative writers of multiple disciplines, from screenwriting to game design consultation. It counts Electronic Arts, Chillingo and FISHLABS among its roster of clients and boasts accredited membership of the Sci-Fi&Fantasy Writers of America.

GREENVILLE, SC -- Paykey USA reports that the South Carolina Department of Corrections has begun a yearlong rollout of Paykey cashless payment systems on vending equipment in all 32 of its medium- and high-security correctional facility visitation rooms. This follows a two-year study of the available payment systems and a testing phase.
Two private vending operations and the South Carolina Commission for the Blind are under contract to provide the vending services for all the state's correctional facilities.
According to Paykey, the object is to remove cash from the inmate population. By providing cashless payment systems on venders available to visitors, the department can classify cash as contraband if it's brought into a visitation room.
The Paykey system is based on a sturdy memory device, the key itself, which typically is encapsulated in a plastic fob.
PHOTO: Paykey cashless payment medium is in use throughout South Carolina's correctional system to keep cash out of visitation rooms in prisons. Shown here is the outdoor Paykey Station that dispenses and adds value to the keys; it's a small weather- and vandal-resistant enclosure that houses a glassfront snack machine. The keys are vended in narrow-spiral sleeves.

Shown here is the outdoor Paykey Station that dispenses and adds value to the keys; it's a small weather- and vandal-resistant enclosure that houses a glassfront snack machine. The keys are vended in narrow-spiral sleeves.
Under the South Carolina program, the visitor purchases a key for $5, and adds value to it on each visit, as needed, before entering the visitation room. An outdoor weather- and vandal-resistant kiosk, furnished by the state, houses a Crane or Automatic Products snack machine with MDB-compliant control logic. This vender is the "Paykey Station" for the facility; it vends the keys (in candy-bar-shaped sleeves) and adds value to them when needed. Once the visitor has a key with the desired value loaded onto it, he or she can use it to make purchases from any of the cashless machines situated in the visitation room.
The key is preprogrammed to store a maximum credit of $50, which is far more convenient for visitors than the $15 cash limit previously imposed on them.
"It's not unusual for a visitor to spend over $25 purchasing cold food items at $3 per sandwich, and drinks and snacks for the family, while visiting," said Billy Clement of Atlas Food Systems (Greenville), which services a number of the facilities.
Les Perry of A&A Vending (Augusta, GA) reported that the Paykey system was easier to install than he had expected, and it has been problem-free so far. He agreed that it appears to be a win-win for visitors, who now can make the vending purchases they desire, and for the operator too.
The Paykey system not only solved the problem that the Department of Corrections wanted addressed, but -- in conjunction with delivery assurance devices in the machines -- also has virtually eliminated refunds.
Since January, more than 12,000 keys have been sold and now are in use by visitors to South Carolina's correctional facilities. Paykey's proprietary randomly encrypted communication protocol makes for an extremely safe and secure RFID (contactless) cashless medium, the company explained. In use, the key need only be touched against a recessed sensor in the machine front to transfer value and initiate a vend. A suitably equipped machine also can accept cash and write value back to the key. Data are transmitted by induction; no electrical contact need be made.
The Paykey system also is applicable to commercial, industrial and institutional locations. Nearly 100 operating companies around the United States are using the system. "Our customers tell us that Paykey provides a strong customer loyalty aspect that many operators overlook," said Alex Kiriakides, president of Paykey USA.
Paykey will be on display at booth 1461 at the National Automatic Merchandising Association National Expo in Chicago.

We released an update of gdm with XDMCP fixes sometime ago. Did you test
this update?
"sometime ago"? Sorry mate, but that's too vague to answer. In the future,
provide the versions you are talking about. Also, see comment #22 above.
I don't see how comment #22 is relevant to my question, but I might miss
You can simply check if you have this version by looking at "rpm -q --changelog
gdm" and seeing if the last entry is from September, with this mention "Add
gdm-xdmcp-fixes.patch to fix connection with XDMCP. Fix bnc#637069". I believe
this is gdm-2.30.2-6.1.1, but I'm not 100% sure and I can't check right now.

Mega 2560 compatible MIDI shield?
Sep 22, 2012, 10:31 pm
Is anyone aware of a Mega 2560 compatible MIDI shield?
I have the
Rugged Circuits Flexible MIDI Shield
which is nice for the Uno - same size, choice of using Serial or using SoftwareSerial with jumper pins on the shield.
Naturally it
on a Mega 2560, since the first four blocks of pins are the same, but:
analog inputs A6 to A15 are blocked
comm pins 14 to 21 are blocked
anything plugged into digital pins 22 to 53 blocks the MIDI ports
or in other words, most of the extra features that would lead you to select a Mega in the first place become unusable.
Also, giving you a choice of Serial1 (shared with the USB) or SoftwareSerial (lots of CPU useage, constrains use of interrupts) is fine for an Uno but not needed on a Mega which also has Serial1, Serial2 and Serial3 driven by UARTS.
I have tried connecting the sheild with jumper wires instead of stacking it with the pins, it works OK on Serial but did not work when jumpered over to Serial3.
Any suggestions for a better shield? Or suggestions on what else I should do to get the shield to work?

By 'better' I mean one that can be used with the other three serial channels, and one that does not obscure the input and output pins on the Mega 2560.
Suggestions for a Mega-compatible MIDI-over-USB solution (using a separate USB connector, not the one on the Arduino) would also be welcome.

Hi I have gone in a slightly different direction. I have combined the Fluxamasynth board with a Mega2560. The conversion was very easy as I had been previously using a 1980's Roland classic stand alone synth' on a Uno board and all I had to do was change the code to
And connect the center pin of the fluxamasynth jumpers by soldering a half a prototyping cable to that center pin and poking it into Pin 16 socket on the Mega board. The signal was 5V, standard logic compatible, straight through!
It meant I could debug with the standard serial interface and simply direct all midi controls through Serial2 (ie Pin16). I plugged it in, stacked on the Mega, and it worked first time. A rare satisfying feeling
The Fluxamasynth is ideal for me as I wanted to create a portable device and did not want to lug around keyboards etc. The quality for my purposes is excellent and has a wealth of features and I am not even going to elaborate on, but I believe it can also be driven by SPI techniques as well. Given I have already got a 512k ram expansion and a OLED display on the SPI it was a relief to have the simplest midi interface work so easily.

Hi Nantonos,
I did check those type of boards initially but given the simplicity of the midi interface I just made it up on a prototyping board with a flying 5 pin Din socket. I also included the LCD and IR detector on that board as well. However I eventually swapped to the Fluxamasynth board as it gave me a high degree of portability (one of my main design aims, as it is not much use having a highly portable instrument like a flute and then have to lug a huge midi key board for accompaniment).
The attached photos will give you an idea of what it looks like. The center pin on the header on the Fluxamasynth board has a flying lead soldered to it that plugs in the Second serial output on the Meg 2560 board. Instant Midi
Cheers, Rob

Knights of Badassdom got off to a modest start at the box office in its opening day. Exhibitor Relations Co., a source for movie-industry related data and box-office numbers, has tweeted the horror comedy's opening numbers (see below).
"Bad Ass" might have been overselling it a bit--fanboy fave KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM rolled out w/ just $17,449 at 13 sites--$1,342 per.
From my understanding, these box office numbers are not from the Tugg screenings, since the ticketing is managed by Tugg and not the theaters. They are more likely to come from the limited, non Tugg-related, theater release of Knights of Badassdom that started on January 24, 2014. The number of sites - 13 - mentioned in the Tweet matches the number of theaters playing the movie on the opening day, btw. It should also be recalled that in most cases Knights of Badassdom was not screened all day but at specific hours of the day.
The team behind Knights of Badassdom has released a few days ago a picture (on the left) that adds up the number of fans who reserved a ticket for a Tugg screening, starting on January 21, 2014. Here too, the numbers are modest since a Tugg screening is scheduled at a specific day at a specific time.
As I wrote in the the Review of Knights of Badassdom Launch Campaign, the producers don't want to spend money on the marketing/advertising and are simply trying to recoup some of the money which has been spent financing the movie. Most of the buzz generated after the Knights of Badassdom panel at Comic Con 2011 fell flat and the film has been released with little fanfare. If, and that's a big if, the main actors are not promoting the movie because it's not the movie they signed up for and they have chosen to stand by Joe Lynch and not get involved in the PR, as online bloggers from specialized in horror websites told me, it could not have been very different.
And if you plan to see the movie, don't forget to take a look at the Knights of Badassdom featurette with Summer Glau released recently.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- U.S. comedian and actor Tracy Morgan has confirmed he is engaged to marry model Megan Wallover.
UsMagazine.com said Morgan announced the news as he and his bride-to-be headed up the red carpet at Sunday's Prime-time Emmy Awards show in Los Angeles.
"We got engaged six months ago!" Morgan told E! News.
"We were in San Francisco," Wallover added. "It wasn't anything crazy. He was on bended knee."
Morgan, a cast member of TV's "30 Rock," divorced his wife Sabrina in 2009 after 23 years of marriage. They have three sons, UsMagazine.com said.
Susan Boyle's third CD set for release
NEW YORK, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Susan Boyle, who became an unlikely star while competing on "Britain's Got Talent" in 2009, has recorded her third album, Syco/Columbia Records said Monday.
Boyle's album "Someone to Watch Over Me" is to go on sale Nov. 1 in the United States.
The CD will include Boyle's renditions of classics such as "Unchained Melody" and "Both Sides Now," as well as the original songs "This Will be the Year" by Emeli Sande and Naughty Boy with Josh Kear, and "Return" by Steve Mac and Wayne Hector.
The recording star sold 14 million copies of her first two albums in 14 months.
Boyle, 50, said her song choices for "Someone" were influenced by fans who related to her life story and shared their histories with her.
"There are certain songs that I liked that resonated with the letters that people had written and sent to me," Boyle said in a statement Monday. "I knew that's what my record needed to be about. They wrote about grief, love, happy and sad times; it was all deeply moving and the songs I selected mirror their emotions and life experiences."

Elton John
On his latest collection, out Tuesday, John returns to his stripped-down beginnings as a serious singer and piano player.
And I, for one, say it's about bloody time after a steady stream of overproduced pap like Can You Feel The Love Tonight.
Hooking up with longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin, the singer says he wanted a sound reminiscent of his earlier material from 1970's Elton John to 1975's Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy.
Even if John doesn't quite reach those heights, he gets awfully close on a couple of occasions, such as the heartbreaking American Triangle, which mourns the 1998 murder of young gay student Matthew Shepard in Wyoming, and features Canadian Rufus Wainwright on harmony vocals.
"Western skies, don't make it right, unmark the grave, don't make no sense, I seen a scarecrow wrapped in wire, left to die on a highridge fence," John sings on the chorus.
Other standouts include the rootsy, soulful Birds, the uptempo gospel-soul tune Wasteland and Ballad Of The Boy With The Red Shoes, about a ballet dancer dying of AIDS.
Guests include Stevie Wonder playing harmonica on Dark Diamond, another highlight, while Billy Preston turns up on B3 organ on Wasteland and Love Her Like Me.
John pulls into the Air Canada Centre Saturday night. (More on: Elton John).

I was thinking of doing a fair theme quilt for the fair in my town, but does any one know if there are blocks related to this. any information will be greatly appreciated. thanks
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was thinking of doing a fair theme quilt for the fair in my town, but does any one know if there are blocks related to this. any information will be greatly appreciated. thanks
You might want to put in a cotton candy, cow, pig, horse, hot dog, tickets, tents, etc. Just google these as patterns and see what pops up. I'll just bet you'll have lots to choose from. Many also look for a coloring book. They usually have great pictures that transfer to patterns easily.
Perhaps a window pane featuring events at the fair. Like canning, livestock, farm machinery, rides. etc. Keep us posted on our progress:)
Do you have an embroidery machine? There is a collection of county fair designs by Amazing Designs that I used to make a quilt. I embroidered designs on blocks then alternated them with a calico print.
Are you looking for pieced blocks with names of fair related items or Appliqued blocks?
thanks I never thought of the coloring book, that is a great Idea. If I win I have to mention you all for the help
Just to let you all know, I have been quilting only for a year, I have never taken a class. If I see it, I can do it, usually I self teach my self. To be a quilter has been like a dream come true, To me, is like peace. I dont know if you all have the same feeling, and is a joy to see the project complete. In ref to the project, I dont know very much what is available if applique or blocks, I think I will do both, if the resources are limited. so any help or guidance to where to find the information it will be greatly appreciated. thanks a million for answering my request,

It has often been said, and certainly not without justification, that the man of science is a poor philosopher. Why then should it not be the right thing for the physicist to let the philosopher do the philosophizing? Such might indeed be the right thing to do at a time when the physicist believes he has at his disposal a rigid system of fundamental concepts and fundamental laws which are so well established that waves of doubt can't reach them; but it cannot be right at a time when the very foundations of physics itself have become problematic as they are now. At a time like the present, when experience forces us to seek a newer and more solid foundation, the physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of theoretical foundations; for he himself knows best and feels more surely where the shoe pinches. In looking for a new foundation, he must try to make clear in his own mind just how far the concepts which he uses are justified, and are necessities.
A knowledge of the historical and philosophical background gives a kind of independence from prejudices of his generation from which most scientists are suffering. This independence created by philosophical insight is–in my opinion–the mark of distinction between a mere artisan or specialist and a real seeker after truth.
The above-linked Physics Today article gives a fascinating portrait of a philosophically-informed scientist. Even at the time, one notes some defensiveness about spending time thinking about the meaning of one's theories instead of doing what many in physics would call "real work". Most physicists probably didn't read all of Kant's works as teenagers; it will surprise no one to learn that Einstein was exceptional in many ways. Nevertheless, Professor Howard shows that a solid historical and philosophical background was much more expected and cultivated in physicists a hundred years ago than it is now.
Today, physicists and biologists feel qualified to mouth off on philosophical and religious questions like never before, and yet the exposure of most of them to philosophy–it's classics, methodology, and current trends–has dwindled to next to nothing. How did this happen? One reason is probably the shift in the center of scientific activity from Europe (Germany, in particular) to America. We do things differently here. We don't worry about what our theories mean; we just want to know how to calculate with them. Cultural expectations no doubt play a role here. In Germany a century ago, educated people were expected to have opinions on Hegel and Schopenhauer. American science is also organized, to a much greater degree than European science was in Einstein's day, around big projects, each of which mobilizes hundreds of researchers. This way of doing things is better for addressing certain questions than others.
The other big change–which Einstein lived through and was not at all comfortable with–is the rise of quantum mechanics, whose bizarreness we've all learned to live with by not thinking about it. There's a definite prejudice among American physicists that only losers worry about what quantum mechanics means, all that "Schroedinger's cat" stuff. The discomfort is understandable, since all the major interpretive schemes involve weirdness and extravagances of their own: a wavefunction collapse that at least seems very different from its ordinary Schroedinger-equation evolution, a multitude of parallel universes splitting off from each other, nonlocal hidden variables for which we have no other evidence. Rather than seeing this as an exciting challenge, we've largely punted the whole issue to the philosophers, who presumably have nothing better to do.
It's a shame, because the interpretation of quantum mechanics is important, really important. You should all care about it. Here's physicist and First Things contributor Stephen Barr arguing that quantum mechanics disproves materialism. Barr reviews the measurement problem: quantum mechanics naturally leads to superpositions of states, but our knowledge is always of definite states. Barr accepts the Copenhagen interpretation–when we make measurements on microscopic systems, the state vector "jumps" to a definite state with probabilities given by the Born rule–and he accepts the view of Wigner and a few others that "we observe" necessarily means a conscious observer. In this version of the Copenhagen interpretation, minds somehow transcend the usual laws of nature. The alternative is to accept the Everett ("Many Worlds"), which is downright crazy.
Read it and see what you think. I personally think that the materialist isn't in quite so bad a position as Barr makes out, even in the Copenhagen world. After all, there are a lot of differences between subatomic particles and human beings besides consciousness. It could be something else that triggers wavefunction collapse/state vector reduction. One possibility, advocated by Roger Penrose and others, is gravity. According to the (totally untested so far) "one graviton" rule, it's things that are massive enough to put a dent in spacetime that can't remain in indeterminate states. There's also complexity–humans have many more internal degrees of freedom. This is basically how decoherence explains the lack of macroscopic entanglement effects (although it doesn't, I believe, solve the measurement problem itself). There are intriguing toy models (for example by Grigorenko and by Pearle–I went to a colloquium by Philip Pearle as an undergraduate and was very excited by it) of nonlinear modifications to the Schroedinger equation leading to wavefunction collapse, a sign that the problem shouldn't be entirely left to the philosophers.
Coincidentally, I found this on the Wall Street Journal at about the same time:
'Vain is the word of that philosopher which does not heal any suffering of man." By the lights of this maxim, taken from the fourth-century B.C. Greek philosopher Epicurus, contemporary philosophy looks awfully vain. Upon opening the field's most prestigious journal, one finds little that looks capable of healing and much that promises the opposite: an article titled "On the Supposed Inconceivability of Absent Qualia Functional Duplicates"; another that defends the "applicability of Bayesian confirmation theory to the Everett interpretation of quantum mechanics." Epicurus, by contrast, taught his followers how to eliminate anxiety and irrational desires in order to lead a life of happiness.
I disagree. The Everett interpretation is the most serious challenge to our sense of personal identity coming from the physical sciences today. It's truth or falseness is indeed a source of anxiety for me. The viability of this Many Worlds idea hangs on its ability or inability to explain the Born rule for identifying wavefunction amplitudes with probabilities. I think there's a good argument that it doesn't and can't correctly make this identification–which gives me a reason other than philosophical repugnance for rejecting this multiplicity or worlds and multiplicity of mes–but the arguments that it can all hinge on the meaning given to probabilities. In other words, that paper the author quotes is important, or at least it could be.
One of these days, I'd like to do a series of posts on quantum mechanics and its interpretation. That might be pushing my readers' indulgence a bit too far, though.

The town of Longboat Key is not currently enforcing an ordinance that prohibits people from anchoring their boats off the island's shores for more than 72 hours.
The town modified a town code in March after the Legislature made modifications that made it more difficult for town and counties to enforce live-aboard and mooring regulations.
Live-aboards, which refer to the occupancy or use of a boat for residency instead of navigation, are not allowed off the shores of Longboat Key.
However, Police Chief Al Hogle confirmed for The Longboat Observer that his department is monitoring but not enforcing at least two live-aboards, one who resides near New Pass on the south end of the Key, and one who lives near Longbeach Village on the north end.
Other live-aboard cases have been monitored in the last year near Spinnaker Lane in Country Club Shores and near Mar Vista Dockside Restaurant & Pub in the Village, Hogle said.
Town code states, however, that it's "unlawful for any person to moor or anchor any live-aboard vessel at any location or locations upon the waters of the town for any period of time in excess of 72 hours in any 30-day period" unless the boat is docked at a commercial marina or is given a temporary permit by the town manager.
But, for now, Hogle said Marine Patrol Officer Dennis Silverio Jr. and Capt. Steve Mislyan are only monitoring potential live-aboards and explaining the code to boaters.
"I have received some information from other municipalities that there may be some issues with enforcing the portion of the code involving mooring for no longer than 72 hours," said Hogle, who declined to divulge any more information until he can talk with town attorney David Persson. "It's important to make sure everything is clear before we enforce this portion of the code."
Hogle said boaters have been willing to move their boats away from shore and are, for the most part, complying with the ordinance.
Persson, meanwhile, said he was surprised to hear there may be an issue with the amended ordinance that he drafted and was approved in March by the Town Commission.
"The town modified its rules and regulations this last spring to address the change in state law," Persson said. "The bottom line is you can't be moored off the Key for more than 72 hours," Persson said.
Despite Hogle's concern, his department is not turning its back on the ordinance altogether.
A Nov. 17 police department incident report states that police responded to a complaint of a boat moored offshore near Linley Street in the Village.
The report states that the boat "has been there for several days, per the complainant. There are also numerous other vessels anchored in the bay across from the Linley Street boat ramp. These may be live-aboard vessels. Marine unit and patrol will be conducting follow-up patrols, issuing warnings and enforcing town codes where applicable."

Linking Trade and Productivity: New Research Directions
It is a mistake to think of productivity growth as an orderly shift in the production function of the representative plant. Gradual processes of technological diffusion or the displacement of inefficient plants with efficient ones are what matter. Trade orientation may affect these processes through many channels. Exposure to increased.foreign competition is found to be associated with improvements in the average level of technical efficiency, reductions in the cross-plant dispersion in technical efficiency, and reductions in plant size. However, preliminary work suggests no clear link between trade policies and patterns of entry and exit. Copyright 1992 by Oxford University Press.

Freese locked in at plate early on
Freese locked in at plate early on
But during this past Spring Training, frustration mounted for the 2011 World Series Most Valuable Player, who hit just .188 with 16 strikeouts in 48 at-bats in Grapefruit League play.
"Spring Training is all about preparation for the start of the season," Freese said. "I just wasn't clicking out of the gate. I didn't like my approach. I always want to play well, and I always want to hit well. That's just how I am."
Obviously, Freese was just waiting for the games that count. The Cardinals third baseman is red-hot to begin the regular season. He went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-1 win at Cincinnati. Freese is now hitting .417 with two home runs and eight RBIs through five games.
"He was frustrated in the spring trying to figure things out," said manager Mike Matheny. "He's gotten himself into some big situations so far. He thrives on that. He has that knack. He's got some confidence going now."
Freese is the first Cardinals player since Mark McGwire (1998) to have multi-RBI games in the season's first two games, and the first since Edgar Renteria (2003) to have multiple hits in each of the first three games.
"I'm focused, and just trying to do my part," Freese said. "When those lights come on, you have to execute, you have to produce. We compete here to win a championship. It's no different this year."

This precious double album is a tribute to illustrious soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy; the music was inspired from avant-garde Slovenian icon Srecko Kosovel's poetry and life. Recorded live in Slovenia the 4th of July at the Festival Lent in Maribor, these eighteen tracks associate a myriad of musical mutations, freedom and improvisation.
Throughout the tendency of this music feast, drummer/percussionist Zlatko Kaucic and his fraternizers testify that their mark of honour is also a melodious celebration. Kaucic has assembled a quintet with three outstanding Italian artist such as pianist Bruno Cesselli, saxophonist Emanuele Cisi, bassit Ares Tavolazzi and famous American woodwind player and composer Paul McCandless. Born in Slovenia, Zlatko Kaucic is a consummated artist worldwide known also by his contributions to poetry, dance, TV shows, films and documentaries.
At heart of this opus's underpinning, lengthen into two-part, the quintet accompanied by the Maribor Philharmonic Orchestra spans frenzied inducements with dense and generous movements. McCandless and Cisi's wood obstreperous dialogues paraphrasing into deconstructionist of hitherto swan patterns. In sundry foregrounds, the music emerges as an assiduous replenishment suits. Just the same there are sonorous parts, dabbled with minimalist musical gestures.
Drummer Zlatko Kaucic shines in every space he utilizes with such delicacy and pertinence--quality that detach him from the selfish common denominator of cocky drummers--. It's in the finesse of his play that Kaucic is imposing and admirable. His cymbals shrill wonderful and unique sounds, his superior strength is so that it dawns casual. While Kaucic seeks with peculiar pitch and timbres, as he displays on these double CD--The Golden Boat 2--his music is evermore engrafted in the loadstone that frame jazz, improvised music and avant-garde.
These enthronement piece or art embody a hoi polloi of euphonically forms; avant classical styles (Maribor Philharmonic Orchestra) are alternated with riotous improvisational discharges and loquacious sax/clarinet/ saxophone/bass passages. A sense of dramaturgy is stunted up to and including the craftsman's distinctive figuring of Zlatko Kaucic's sound-inscription methods and broadly speaking keystone meaning. The Golden Boat 2 scintillates feeler which dare norms, while enacting the listener with a treat for their midst and quintessence.
The Golden Boat 2 is without doubt an elegant and timeless release.
