Professor Max Farrand's suggestion to the American Historical Association of the need of a systametic bibliography of travels in America has been taken up by Messers. Bernard C. Steiner and Louis H. Dielman, who are now collecting titles for the work.
The following lists may be supplemented by a general reference to the reprints, and various original works, by the indefatigable Dr. Thwaites, to the publications of the firms of Clark and Burrows Brothers, of Cleveland, and to the somewhat arbitrary editions by Elliot Coues.
The present bibliography, which is intended to be representative, and under the circumstances could not be made complete, contains no reference to manuscripts that have been made public since 1846. It is virtually restricted to American and British books in English, with a few on Canada, and a few translations. In general, but one place of publication has been noted for any one book. Some titles are given more fully than others, for purposes of illustration.
Several details in the chapter are derived from a manuscript article, entitled Fifty Years of Travels in the United States, 17891839, by Mr. H. Barrett Learned, of Washington, D. C.

Professor Max Farrand's suggestion to the American Historical Association of the need of a systametic bibliography of travels in America has been taken up by Messers. Bernard C. Steiner and Louis H. Dielman, who are now collecting titles for the work.
The following lists may be supplemented by a general reference to the reprints, and various original works, by the indefatigable Dr. Thwaites, to the publications of the firms of Clark and Burrows Brothers, of Cleveland, and to the somewhat arbitrary editions by Elliot Coues.
The present bibliography, which is intended to be representative, and under the circumstances could not be made complete, contains no reference to manuscripts that have been made public since 1846. It is virtually restricted to American and British books in English, with a few on Canada, and a few translations. In general, but one place of publication has been noted for any one book. Some titles are given more fully than others, for purposes of illustration.
Several details in the chapter are derived from a manuscript article, entitled Fifty Years of Travels in the United States, 17891839, by Mr. H. Barrett Learned, of Washington, D. C.

01.04.12The joint venture for the worldwide manufacturing and sales of products for the polyurethane industry between specialty chemicals company Perstorp and PTT Global Chemical has been signed.
At a ceremony in Grenoble, France, the future cooperation agreement between Perstorp and PTT Global Chemical was signed. The joint venture, dedicated to the manufacturing and sales of aromatic (TDI) and aliphatic (IPDI, HDI & derivates) isocyanates, includes the former Perstorp business group Coating Additives with its manufacturing sites at Pont-de-Claix in France and Freeport, Texas in the U.S. PTT Global Chemical (PTTGC) will hold 51 percent of the joint venture and Perstorp 49 percent.
"We believe in a promising future for polyurethanes. Perstorp's expertise in manufacturing, R&D, sales and marketing of isocyanates, coupled with PTT GC's position as a major Asian chemical player, gives the joint venture a unique opportunity to establish leading positions in the worldwide polyurethane market," said Veerasak Kositpaisal, PTT Global Chemical's CEO and Martin Lundin, Perstorp's president and CEO, in a joint statement.
The joint venture is planning a major investment to expand capacity at the manufacturing plant in Pont-de-Claix, France, and new capacity in Asia. To begin with, this includes the investment in a new joint plant for HDI derivatives in Asia. As part of the investment scheme, Perstorp has also entered an agreement with the French government regarding the measures to be introduced that meet the French PPRT law (Plan de Prevention des risques Technologique), measures which are also supported by PTTGC.
Isocyanates are used as hardeners in coatings and raw materials in elastomers and foam products. TDI are key materials for foam, which is used for making mattresses, bedding, seating and packaging. HDI and its derivates find major market applications in the automotive sector (OEM and refinish), industrial maintenance, plastic and wood coatings, transportation, aerospace, coil and can coatings, leather finishing and adhesives.

Fire Alarm System
Fire Alarm System Key Features
- Service signal is automatically emitted when the detector is contaminated.
- Large number of fire detection algorithms is supported by the system and can be set to each Analog detector.

- Disablements. Zones, programmable outputs and outputs for the alarm transmitter can be individually disabled.
- User programmable outputs.
- Up to 8 display units
- Can be connected to WEB-server for remote access and/or one-way communcation to external system.
EBL128 is an Analog addressable fire alarm system but can also be used with conventional detectors. The CIE can communicate with up to 128 input and/or output units on a single loop. The loop is used for connecting detectors, manual call points, and general inputs and outputs for freely programmable customer specific functions. EBL128 fulfils the EN54 standards: EN54 part 2 (control and indicating equipment) and EN54 part 4 (power supply).
Each Analog detector in the system is individually set so that it adapts to the surrounding environment. The sensitivity of each Analog detector is constant in spite of the individual contamination or background particle level. Every long term change is distinguished from short time variations of a smouldering fire. The self-diagnosis function detects every deviation from the accurate normal condition in the electronic circuits and in the detection chamber. A family of state of the art Analog detectors gives the system accurate and noise free information about smoke and heat levels in the installation.

O-line regaining respect at OSU
- Written by MATT HAMMOND
The whipping boys for Ohio State's losses during the Jim Tressel era were often the Buckeyes' offensive linemen.
Jim Bollman, who served as offensive line coach under Tressel and also stayed on last year under interim coach Luke Fickell, was highly maligned for the unit's lack of production.
Last year, the Ohio State offensive line allowed 46 sacks. Only two other teams in the nation allowed more sacks than the Buckeyes.
Despite losing three starters, the offensive front has been a major improvement this year under first-year line coach Ed Warinner.
The Buckeyes have allowed just eight sacks in five games this fall. The offensive line has paved the way for a ground game that is ranked 21st nationally at 224 yards per game.
Meyer criticized the offensive line in the spring, calling the unit "nonfunctional." However, he has changed his tune now.

Microsoft Pushes Ahead with OneCare
In the wake of reports that its Windows Live OneCare security suite is inadequate, Microsoft announced plans this morning to release a OneCare Live 2.0 beta soon. OneCare Live 2.0 will push beyond the suite's security focus to provide continuous and holistic care of all the PCs in a household, Microsoft said.
"Windows Live OneCare continues to evolve by providing consumers with new features and unified integration between PCs," a Microsoft representative told me yesterday. "OneCare version 2 marks a significant step toward the support of a typical multi PC household and home network as more and more consumers become a part of multi PC households."
According to Microsoft, OneCare Live 2.0 will include all the security features of OneCare Live 1.5 and will be able to be licensed for as many as three PCs per household. OneCare Live 2.0 will also include wireless connection setup and security features a boot time optimizer automated monthly computer usage and security reports online photo backup functionality for an additional charge unified monitoring and maintenance of networked PCs printer sharing and automated PC tune ups.
Meanwhile, OneCare Live 1.5 is performing poorly in security tests. According to online comparison Website AVcomparatives.org, OneCare Live 1.5 received the worst score out of the seventeen products tested. As a result, OneCare Live 1.5 was the only security product not to be certified by the Website. However, Microsoft said that OneCare Live 1.5 is certified by West Coast Lab's Checkmark certification system, the de facto standard in Europe for security product certification and testing to real world standards.
The OneCare Live 2.0 beta will begin in late April and Microsoft plans to ship the final version of OneCare Live 2.0 in third quarter 2007.

NH Local Government Center's reorganization plans come under further scrutiny
By TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
— The possibility that the New Hampshire Local Government Center's top management staff could, after a planned reorganization of the public insurance administrator's corporate makeup, continue to work for all of its separate organizations has drawn concern from the Bureau of Securities Regulation.
Interim Executive Director George Bald said whether LGC, which is proposing to change its name back to the New Hampshire Municipal Association, continues to commingle its staff will be up to the boards of the municipal advocacy, health insurance and property-liability organizations.
"The boards will be discussing it as we move further and we move forward," Bald said.
He said, though, that board members have discussed continuing to share such services as human resources and information technology. And, he said, the boards may decide to hire a single executive director to oversee all of the operations.
"That would be a situation where the boards would make that decision," he said. "They would look out for their separate organizations, but at the same time be looking for ways to make things more efficient."
LGC has proposed separating its various insurance offerings into wholly owned not-for-profit corporations and eliminating local liability companies that, technically at least, saw LGC collecting money and operating its services with for-profit companies. New Hampshire law does not allow for not-for-profit LLCs.
Barry Glennon, director of the Bureau of Securities Regulation, said the bureau would like an answer to LGC's plans for sharing staff before, not after, the reorganization happens. Public hearings on the restructuring are set for Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.
"We posed this question to LGC over a week ago as to whether current management and staff will continue to be employed by any of the new entities and whether they will continue to provide management services to the two risk pool management programs," he said. "It seems to me this is a matter that should be addressed by the various boards well in advance of any reorganization and not after the fact."
And Glennon said that, for the new corporations to be separate, they need separate individual staff leadership.
"It is the Bureau's opinion that it is impossible for the separate risk pools to be truly independent when they share common management," he said.
LGC had planned to complete the restructuring by July 1, but a letter from Glennon to LGC with a host of questions about the plan saw the agency decide to slow down.

NEW YORK (AP) — Talk of more merger and acquisition activity is giving a modest boost to U.S. market futures, signaling a continuation of the seven-week rally on Wall Street.
Reports that retailers Office Depot Inc. and OfficeMax Inc. are discussing a combination come after several major deals in recent weeks.
Dow Jones industrial average futures are up 19 at 13,967. S&P 500 futures 3 to 1,520. Nasdaq 100 futures added 8.25 to 2,769.50.
The positive activity follows gains in Europe, where signs that the Germany economy is picking up steam is helping lift major indexes. Germany's DAX is up 1.2 percent at 7,717. France's CAC-40 is 1 percent higher at 3,723. Britain's FTSE 100 index is 0.6 percent higher at 5,735.
Asian markets were mostly down amid concern about Chinese real estate curbs.

Letters Detail Objections to BP Settlement
Relatives of Deepwater Horizon Victims Seek Stiffer Penalty as Judge Weighs $4.5 Billion Payment to Resolve Criminal Case
Kathleen Goodlife says she knows her brother Gordon Jones died accidentally when the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig blew up in April 2010. But that doesn't mean she approves of the $4.5 billion criminal settlement that BP PLC has reached with the government.
"I do not want them to only throw money at the problem," Ms. Goodlife wrote in a letter to the federal judge who is overseeing the settlement. "I want compassion and acknowledgment of what my brother gave up. I want to see for once, BP doesn't just slide...

| WMU News
KALAMAZOO—A Western Michigan University graduate student is one of 40 people nationwide to be awarded a 2013 National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship.
As a fellowship recipient, Traci D. Brimhall, a doctoral student in the WMU creative writing poetry program, was awarded a $25,000 cash prize. She hopes to graduate in spring 2014.
After waiting several weeks and not hearing from the NEA, Brimhall decided to call, fearing she had entered her email address incorrectly. Other writers she knew who had applied had already received rejections. She was told she had been approved, but that Hurricane Sandy had caused a delay in notifying the winners.
"The acknowledgement of my work is great," Brimhall says. "But there are so many other deserving people who didn't get an award. I'm very grateful."
The NEA has awarded creative writing fellowships since 1967, providing writers with the time and freedom to pursue their craft. More than 1,100 people applied for the fellowship. The fellowships are among 832 grants totaling $23.3 million through the NEA's Art Works funding program. Non-profit arts organizations in 47 states and in the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico received grants along with the 40 creative writing fellowships, totaling $1 million.
Traci D. Brimhall
Brimhall is the only writer in the state of Michigan to receive an individual artist grant; however, many arts organizations in the state received grants.
Born in Little Falls, Minn., Brimhall now calls Kalamazoo home. She was working as house manager at a Shakespeare theatre in Staunton, Va., when she quit her job to throw herself completely into writing.
"I liked describing my life more than I liked living my life," she says. "I knew that that was a problem. So I quit my job and I moved to New York City to take writing seriously. I worked a bunch of odd jobs, wrote, went to writing conferences, applied to graduate school and started to make it my number-one priority in my life. It was one of the best decisions that I've ever made."
Her search for the right graduate school led her to WMU. Not only did she find the right school, she also found the right place.
"I found the kind of writing community I've always wanted here," she says. "Everybody in the creative writing program has been incredibly helpful. But it extends beyond Western to Kalamazoo. There are so many talented people in Kalamazoo and the town is so supportive of the arts. It's really a great community."
The poems Brimhall submitted are from a manuscript tentatively titled "Investigation Into the Unconfirmed Miracles at Puraquequara," described in her artist's statement as "a verse novel that explores a series of mysterious occurrences in an Amazon river town."
Brimhall's mother, who is from Brazil, told her numerous tales about her childhood. Though she herself has never been to Brazil, Brimhall used her imagination to create events that took place in the small town near where her mother grew up. "Instead of actually using her life to write poems," she says, "I'm using her stories as springboards to imagine other things."
Brimhall says that of all the art forms, poetry holds a special sway.
"Part of the magic is language," she says. "I love language and I love seeing what language can make happen in terms of creating experiences, inciting thought and creating and recreating emotions. But I think part of my love for poetry is that it's what I do to learn how to live. I can't answer my questions in my poems; I can just recreate the experience of asking them and recreate the experience of living life.
"Writing gives you the privilege of living twice."

My Students Have a Blog...
For the Advanced Prose Workshop class that I'm teaching at Plymouth State University this term, I had the students create and manage a blog. They've been playing with it for a little while now, testing out templates and figuring out how to post different types of things.
We opened it up to the world today.
I'm pretty much letting them do what they want with it, hoping that having a real audience for their work will be both educational and encouraging. With that in mind, I encourage you to take a glance and leave a comment, particularly if something they've written especially interests you. For many of these students, this is the first audience they've ever had beyond friends, family, and teachers.
They're really just getting started with posting, but there should be a steady stream of material over the next few weeks.
(And as I've warned before, my own blogging here is likely to be light through December.)

Starboard Wine at Strange Horizons
Strange Horizons has just posted a review by T.S. Miller of the new edition of Samuel Delany's Starboard Wine, for which I wrote an introduction. It's a generally thoughtful and well-informed review; inevitably, I have quibbles with it, but they aren't important — what's important is that, as Miller notes, the book is now available to a wider audience than ever before.

Weare police overtime mushrooms; shifts covered during shooting probe not specified
By KATHRYN MARCHOCKI
New Hampshire Union Leader
Target of undercover heroin buy killed by Weare police, two cruisers damaged but officers uninjured
The Weare police department spent $221,325 on overtime last year — more than double their overtime budget — but officials won't specify how much, if any, was used to cover shifts for two officers who were on paid administrative leave while the state investigates their involvement in the Aug. 14 fatal shooting of a suspected heroin dealer.
The two officers remained on leave for about three months until newly-sworn police Chief John Velleca brought them back to handle administrative duties in November, saying he could not justify paying their salaries to keep them home while the short-staffed department was "hemorrhaging overtime."
And, the chief added, the two officers can be sent out on emergency calls if no other officer is available. They also wear their uniforms, badges and carry their service weapons at work even though the New Hampshire State Police investigators and homicide prosecutors have not completed their criminal probe of whether their use of deadly force during the undercover drug operation was justified.
"At this point, there is no reason to relieve them of either," Velleca said.
The state Attorney General's office has ordered the names of the two officers not be publicly released until the criminal investigation is complete and its findings released. The lead prosecutor could not say when they expect the report to be done.
The two officers fired and fatally wounded Alex Cora DeJesus, 35, of Manchester at about 10:10 a.m. outside Dunkin' Donuts at Lanctot's Plaza on Route 114 during an undercover operations that involved confidential informants. Prosecutors won't say if DeJesus was armed or threatened the officers.
Velleca, who took over as chief Nov. 1, said he first met with members of the state Attorney General's office to ask if he could bring the two officers back to work.
"I'm in charge of the safety of this town and I'm hemorrhaging overtime at that point. I have to make a decision. I need to find a very, very good reason why I would leave these people at home and getting paid. And that's when I talked to the state Attorney General's office," Velleca explained.
"I was not prohibited or mandated from bringing them back in any capacity that I saw fit," Velleca continued.
"They (officers) are primarily (assigned to) administrative duties within the police department, but...they would be available to respond to an emergency situation if need be, if there were not other officers here," Velleca said this week. He said he didn't know if they were sent on any emergency calls yet.
"Their supervisors would know the exact situations they would be sent out on, but I don't know if that has happened," he added.
The state Attorney General's office has long maintained it is standard practice for an officer involved in a shooting to be placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of the investigation.
But Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan G. Morrell on Friday said "we don't advise them as to whether they should be on administrative leave or not. We don't take a position on it. That's a personnel matter." Morrell is the lead prosecutor on the Weare case.
Velleca said he does not know if the department paid overtime to cover the two officers' shifts during the three months they were out on leave. Velleca said he doesn't know if their shifts were filled or left vacant, noting he was not on the force at the time.
Selectman Chairman Thomas S. Clow wouldn't specify if the force paid overtime to cover the two officers' shifts. He acknowledged, however, that "if you have a space to fill and you want to provide the same 24-hour coverage, it usually results in overtime."
One of the officers earns $852 a week; the other $1,081, according to the finance office.
Velleca said the officers handle work that he otherwise would have to pay someone else — such as another officer, records clerk or administrative assistant — to do.
The police department's overtime budget in 2013 was $100,000, but it actually spent $221,325, according to the town's finance office. The department's total 2013 budget was approved at $1,448,025, but it actually spent $1,506,137, the finance office said.
Velleca and Clow said these expenses largely resulted from having to cover vacancies during a year of high turnover. Gregory Begin retired as chief in June, one sergeant retired, another was fired, and one officer voluntarily left.
Clow also noted the department has long overspent its overtime budget.
"We struggled with that for a long time," Clow said. He said Velleca's proposed 2014 budget includes $100,000 for overtime and "the chief made a commitment to live within that."
Four new full-time officers recently were hired, bringing the force back to 11. Three currently are in training at the police academy and will be ready to assume patrol duties in April. The fourth will enter the academy after her field training.

By David Todd
In "Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom," a cast of four actors play revolving roles—various boys, girls, mothers, and fathers—allowing the characters to merge into a sheltered blankness. No one seems to know each other in this suburban neighborhood; the kids stay in rooms that the adults are afraid to enter, while the adults intrude on each other's interventions. The central concept—the blurring of a staid subdivision with its violent videogame counterpart—could be taxing, but is explored with sophistication by playwright Jennifer Haley. Mixing shades of menace and satire, Ms. Haley sets up an eventual conflict, then lets her characters go, allowing them to take action without necessarily making choices first. "Your screen name is Barbara…LOL," says one of the boys to one of the mothers, indicating the generation gap the play explores. "Who are you?" the mother inquires. "Zombiekllr14," the boy replies, before eventually confessing, "I'm sorry to say this, Mrs. Whitestone, but I will waste you."
According to the Los Angeles-based Haley, "Neighborhood 3" falls into the "horror/psychological thriller genre," set against the backdrop of the American family. "I think of [a] difficult family issue as similar to the monster in the closet, the THING you're afraid to look at," Haley says. "That THING is much more frightening when you don't look at it—and the longer you don't deal with it, the more dangerous it becomes."
It's not all doom-and-gloom at the 5th Annual Summer Play Festival, but it is all new, and that's worth celebrating in itself—for playwrights or fans of new plays, at least. The SPF, which runs from July 1st through the 27th at the Public Theater, is one of the few festivals which funds new plays, requiring nothing financial from the authors themselves. "We're presenting new work in full productions, rather than readings, which is typically how new work by emerging writers gets 'produced'," writes Sam Levy, Director of Programming at the festival, via e-mail. "We're entirely playwright driven."
This may not strike the average reader as significant, but consider that the "fringe" model, which dominates the summer festivals, relies on self-production, often by companies or directors who are not working from original plays. Instead of production proposals, the SPF starts with scripts, chosen by a panel of festival alumni and other professionals from around 1000 submissions. "The playwright receives full creative control over the whole production," Levy continues. "We'll help to put the team together, but we are, creatively, hands off. This is something that our Founding Executive Producer, Arielle Tepper Madover, has been championing from the very beginning."
Conceptually, this policy puts the writers and their unique visions at the core of the festival, as opposed to something more thematic or topical, with a slight concession to the tastes of the season. According to Levy, "we don't have a [particular] aesthetic. We obviously don't want everything to be of the same style or genre, and we are conscious of the fact that we're trying to bring people to the theater in the middle of the summer."
In addition to promoting new work, the festival also seeks new patrons to Off-Off-Broadway theater, enticing them with a $10 ticket price (for all shows) as well as what Levy calls "material that is of interest to non-traditional theater-goers." To achieve this, the festival includes "non-theater people" in its selection committee.
This year, the SPF moves to the venerable Public Theater, long known for its development of new work. Asked how this partnership arose, Levy replies:
[Public Theater Artistic Director] Oskar Eustis and Arielle had been having conversations about how they might work together and, as our fifth year approached, taking up residence at the Public seemed like the logical way to do that. The Public is such an important institution with a longstanding commitment to nurturing new voices, and Oskar has been very active in pursuing partnerships with organizations that do the same.
With eight plays, presented in paired one-week runs, the SPF may lack the grandiosity of larger summer fests. But according to Levy, "By doing fewer plays we're able to provide the production teams with a little more attention than we have in the past." Still, the offerings range from "over-the-top comedy" (Billy Finnegan's "Esther Demsack") to "rock musical" (Joe Iconis and Robert Maddock's "The Black Suits"), with a healthy dose of naturalistic drama along the way. As Levy states: "Ultimately, we just want a festival that introduces a cross-section of emerging, talented writers to the audiences and industry of New York."
Another one of these emerging writers is Sarah Hammond, who was recently appointed to the 2007-2008 class of resident playwrights at New Dramatists. Her play "Green Girl" blends southern gothic with magic realism, as two sets of sisters—one from 1865 and the other 2001—try to cope with their family mythos in South Carolina's Congaree Swamp. In "Green Girl," the past and present exist simultaneously, just as generations of related women are weighted down by one or the other. Much of the play's melancholy comes through in a number of monologues, written in Ms. Hammond's earthy, poetic language.
"I heard that in these woods, ghosts can come at sunset," says young Elizabeth Slaughter, a character who prefers to go by her last name. "I thought I saw mama once, floating around in the trees. You don't believe me. Hell, I don't believe me. A ghost doesn't make anything better."
Although these moments illuminate the script, Ms. Hammond evokes the same sensibility even as she describes the piece. "The magic in this play exists within the dirty everyday details of the characters' lives," she writes in her notes. "Its power is in its nearness, its possibility. It must be entangled with the natural details of the world—organic, environmental; the sound of leaves falling, or the look of a vine climbing up a tree. The world must be our world, and the magic should feel as if it grew from the swamp itself."

NC gas tax to remain mostly flat for next 6 months
NC gas tax to remain mostly flat for next 6 months
The North Carolina gas tax is increasing from 37.5 cents per gallon to 37.6 cents per gallon.
The Department of Revenue says the new rate for the motor fuels tax on gasoline, diesel and alternative fuels starts July 1 and lasts through 2013. The tax is computed using a flat rate of 17.5 cents per gallon and a variable of the average wholesale price of motor fuel during the last six months.
The average wholesale price is a weighted average of the wholesale prices of gasoline and No. 2 diesel fuel. The average price for the last period was $2.8743 cents per gallon.
A new rate will go into effect in January 2014.
Consumers at retail locations pay the tax. The money then goes to the department.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker women's basketball team will kick off another exciting year of hoops this Saturday (Nov. 9), as they prepare to host former Conference Carolinas foe Pfeiffer University in the Timberlake-Lawton Gymnasium. The game will be available on a live video broadcast that can be found at www.cokercobras.com.
Coker is coming off an exhibition loss against Duke University last Sunday (Nov. 3), where forward Jessica Cohen led the team with 15 points. Tanesha Stenson led the team with seven rebounds in that game, while also contributing nine points, two steals, and three assists.
This will also be the first regular season game for the Falcons. The Pfeiffer squad is entering the game with 10 freshman, and five juniors. Directing the young group will be first year head coach Roy Dow.
Game time is set to begin at 2:00 p.m., with tickets prices listed as $5 for adults, $3 for students and free to all Coker faculty, staff and students.
