Said Herman Cain, who would like the GOP to rebrand itself in the opposite way from what I'd like.
I voted for Romney even though I reject the package of issues that comes marked with the label "social conservative," Cain's favorite material. One reason I felt calm and distanced from the results of the election in less than 24 hours is that I only wanted about half of what Mitt Romney was offering, and I agree with Obama on the other half. Making the best of what happened is, for me, automatic. I support gay rights and abortion rights, to name the 2 most prominent social issues in this year's elections.
The linked article — at Salon — is a bit confusing, especially the last paragraph:
After the GOP's crushing 2008 loss, there was lots of talk about a new third party. When the Tea Party emerged, this talk almost became a reality. Instead, the conservative activists opted for a hostile takeover of the GOP. It's still very unlikely that Cain or anyone else could start a viable third party, but his comments underscore the cleavage within the conservative movement in the wake of the defeat last night.I thought the Tea Party was about the economic issues — taxing and spending. Do the social issues belong in the Tea Party? Well, apparently they've seeped in. Were Todd "legitimate rape" Akin and Richard "something God intended" Mourdock Tea Party? I didn't buy the "War on Women" demagoguery, but those guys made the GOP look really awful — at least old-fashioned and dumb if not deeply sexist or scarily religionist.
Can we get a GOP with sound economics and a commitment to individual liberty?

Why Leaks Matter
A lot of people treat hidden water leaks like going to the dentist: They're afraid of a big, expensive repair, so they pretend the problem doesn't exist and hope it will go away. But water leaks, especially those from plumbing pipes and fixtures, don't go away. They only get worse. Steadily, progressively, drippingly worse. (I know "drippingly" is not a real word, but it sounds bad, and that's the idea.) The best time to deal with a water leak is now. Here's why:
A Personal Horror Story
We've all had (or have) bad landlords. I had one of the worst. After several days of pleading and progressively irritated phone calls about a leak that was discoloring my bathroom ceiling, I discovered a small piece of plaster had fallen onto my bathroom floor. While I was sweeping up the debris, some kind of alarm went off in my head and I looked up just as a five-foot-square swath of ceiling plaster became airborne directly above me. The good news: The ceiling was high, so I had just enough time to dodge the falling plaster (I also possessed ninja swiftness that day, I don't know why). The bad news: The leak was coming from my upstairs neighbor's toilet.
Leaks Ruin Finish Materials
As my personal horror story makes painfully clear, water is bad for plaster. It's also bad for drywall, paneling, wallpaper, paint and virtually every other kind of wall finish, including tile (not necessarily the tile itself but its backing material). Once a finish material gets wet, it's never really the same, no matter how many coats of stain-blocking primer you slather on it. This means you usually have to replace water-damaged materials, which can get very expensive, not to mention inconvenient, messy and time-consuming.
Leaks Promote Mold and Rot
Mold thrives on two things: moisture and food. Some of mold's favorite dishes are wood and paper. Therefore, a water leak behind a drywall-covered stud wall is the perfect invitation for mold to dine (standard drywall is enveloped in paper). As for the wood itself, sustained wetness leads to rot, and rotten wood doesn't work so good—including for important things like holding up your walls, floors and other really heavy house parts. Moist wood also happens to be the preferred nesting ground of carpenter ants. By boring into wood, these evil buggers can quickly give a beefy framing member the look and strength of Swiss cheese. Rodents and termites are also attracted to moist wood in your home.
Leaks Know No Bounds
Thanks to gravity, capillary action (wicking) and evaporation, water has an uncanny ability to spread itself around. You may think a little leak that's shown up on a ceiling or at the base of a wall or cabinet is a localized problem, but that's a very dangerous assumption. The visible part of the leak could be just the tip of the iceberg (or, for more contemporary idiom, a melted ice cap). And don't forget that water can even damage materials above it by humidifying the air in enclosed spaces.
So now you know why it's always better to bite the bullet, hire a plumber and deal with leaks ASAP, regardless of how big the fix might be, because a neglected problem can only get worse. Just be sure not to bite an actual bullet or you'll have to go to the dentist, too.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Few would recognize his face, but most would know his voice: that booming baritone that for nearly four decades would introduce the lineups on "Saturday Night Live."
Don Pardo, the durable television and radio announcer whose resonant voice-over style was widely imitated and became the standard in the field, died Monday in Arizona at the age of 96.
Pardo, with a strong chin and confident smile that were overshadowed by his majestic delivery, graced newscasts, game shows and TV programs for more than 60 years. During the original version of "Jeopardy!," his answers to the statement, "Tell `em what they've won, Don Pardo," became a memorable part of the program.
And he was an integral part of "Saturday Night Live" for heralding the cast's names to kick off each show, which led former cast member Jimmy Fallon to comment later, "Nothing is like the moment when Don Pardo says your name." Pardo continued at "SNL" through the end of last season, performing the introductions on the finale in May.
His was no ordinary voice and he guarded it closely, with cough drops always at the ready.
"My voice is my Achilles' heel," Pardo said in a 1985 interview with The Associated Press. "When I get sick, it's always my voice."
Dominick George Pardo was born in Westfield, Massachusetts, on Feb. 22, 1918, and grew up in Norwich, Connecticut.
One of his first jobs was that of ticket-taker at a local movie theater; even then, his voice was commanding.
"I'd go out there with a cape and say: `Standing room only in the mezzanine. Immediate seating in the balcony."'
His father, Dominick, owned a small bakery and had wanted his son to join the business. But Pardo followed his own dream. After graduating from Boston's Emerson College in 1942, began his vocal career at radio station WJAR in Providence, Rhode Island.
Two years later, Pardo was hired by a supervisor at NBC immediately upon hearing his voice. He moved to NBC's New York affiliate, and never left the network.
Pardo made his mark quickly, reading news dispatches on the radio filed from the front lines during World War II. After the war, he was the announcer for such shows as the "Arthur Murray Party," `'Colgate Comedy Hour" and "Your Show of Shows."
In 1954, he was brought in to announce "Winner Takes All," beginning a long run in game shows. He was heard on the "The Price is Right" and the original "Jeopardy!" (1964-75), hosted by Art Fleming.
When NBC launched "Saturday Night Live" in 1975 with Pardo as its announcer, he was introduced to a new generation -- although, on opening night, he botched one of the credits. Instead of saying "The Not Ready for Prime Time Players," Pardo introduced the show's new comedy troupe as "The Not for Ready Prime Time Players."
Aside from Season 7, when he was displaced, Pardo remained the "SNL" announcer for decades.
Between working on shows, Pardo often spent several hours a day in an NBC sound studio and was one of the last network "booth announcers" working a regular daily shift.
And every weekday afternoon for several years in the 1980s, Pardo would quickly clad himself in a tie and blazer to step on camera long enough to announce the local New York station's "Live at Five" newscast -- although Pardo's vocal alchemy rendered it as "Liiiiiiive at Fiiiiiive!"
He retired from NBC in 2004.
"But (executive producer) Lorne Michaels called me soon after and asked if I would continue for three more weeks, so I did," Pardo told the AP in 2010. "Then he called and asked if I would do five more, and so on. I never really left."
For several years, Pardo commuted from Tucson each week the show aired. He arrived to open the show in Rockefeller Center's fabled Studio 8H and then caught a returning flight. At the end of the show on Feb. 23, 2008, he was brought on camera to blow out the candles of a birthday cake in celebration of his 90th birthday.
In later years, he recorded his introductions from home, where he died peacefully Monday afternoon, said his daughter Dona Pardo.
Pardo appeared in several movies, mostly as himself or an announcer like himself, including Woody Allen's "Radio Days," a celebration of the Golden Age of broadcasting. He also made a guest appearance on Frank Zappa's 1978 album, "Zappa in New York," and "Weird Al" Yankovic's 1984 album, "In 3-D."
In 2010, he was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Hall of Fame.
Pardo is survived by five children.

Members of the University community will have the opportunity to share the holiday spirit through a series of community service initiatives and special events planned for December and January.
A holiday "A Cappella Jam and Toy Drive" performance featuring several student a cappella and local singing groups will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 7, on the Palmer Square Green. The event is free and open to the public, and attendees are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy to be donated to the YWCA Princeton St. Nicholas Project.
Organizers of a "Holiday Hoops" food drive will provide a $4 voucher off the price of a game-day ticket with the donation of a nonperishable food item when the Princeton men's basketball team takes on Drexel at 2 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 8, in Jadwin Gymnasium. In addition, free admission is available to those who bring two nonperishable food items to the Princeton women's basketball game against Hofstra on Wednesday, Dec. 5, at 7 p.m., at Jadwin Gym. All donations go to support the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank.
Through Wednesday, Dec. 19, donations of nonperishable food items and personal hygiene products for the Mercer Street Friends Food Bank will be collected at several campus sites: New South; C232 Engineering Quadrangle; Jadwin Gym; Helm Building; MacMillan Building; Robertson Hall; West College; Lewis Thomas Lab; 9 Nassau Hall; 200 Elm Drive; 185 Nassau St.; 22 Chambers St.; Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory; 701 Carnegie Center; Lewis Library; two locations at 171 Broadmead (University Now Nursery School and Office of Information Technology); and the 100 level of Frist Campus Center. The following items are especially needed: canned protein (tuna, sardines, salmon and chicken); canned fruit (in light syrup or juice); canned vegetables; rice; pasta; pasta sauce; Parmalat or other shelf-stable milk; cereals, oatmeal and pancake mix (nonsugar); peanut butter; jelly; dish and laundry detergent; soaps and body wash; deodorant; shampoo; conditioner; and feminine products.
University community members also may support the Send Hunger Packing Program, which provides school-aged children in need with nutritionally sound, easy-to-open meals to get them through the weekend. Items needed include shelf-stable 2 percent reduced-fat milk in an eight-ounce, single-serving size; cereal (individual bowls or boxes); ready-to-eat tuna with or without crackers; microwaveable entrees or bowls; peanut butter in jars or individual cups; grape jelly in plastic containers; yogurt smoothie drinks in shelf-stable brick packs; granola bars; and shelf-stable pudding cups.
Additionally, campus and local nonprofit groups are participating in initiatives to collect donations including books, games, gift certificates, food, personal care items, toys, winter jackets and sleepwear. Participating organizations are Anchor House/Angel's Wings, the Crisis Ministry of Princeton and Trenton, Community House/Princeton Young Achievers, Health Care Ministry of Princeton, HomeFront, Princeton Nursery School, the YWCA Princeton St. Nicholas Project and Womanspace.
Community members may also start saving men's and women's business attire for the annual gently used clothing drive planned for January.
For more information about these organizations and donations needed, visit the Office of Community and Regional Affairs' website, or contact Erin Metro at 609-258-5144 or email@example.com.
The outreach initiatives are sponsored by the Office of Community and Regional Affairs, the Graduate School, the Department of Athletics, the Department of Facilities, and the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students.

Using the Divi Theme Builder to Design a Website
You can create an unlimited number of layouts and customizing options with the Divi theme builder. The theme builder is also extremely flexible, so you can create a website of any type and customize it to suit your business. Divi includes a Bloom plugin, which generates leads for your business. Divi Leads tool will enable you to collect leads through your website, and the Divi Theme Builder comes with a split-testing feature.
Drag and Drop
Drag and drop Divi theme builders allows you to easily add modules or rows to any website. You can even use the built-in settings panel to apply custom CSS to any of the modules and individual elements. You can customize any element of your website's look and have complete control of its layout. Divi Builder also has a comprehensive library of modules that you can use for future sites. You can customize it to meet your needs and save them for future use.
The Drag and drop Divi theme builder makes it easier than ever to create your site's homepage. This powerful theme builder allows you to create dynamic pages quickly, even if you have no previous experience using WordPress. You can add more than 40 content modules to your row and column layouts. You can use these modules to create call-to-action buttons and countdown timesrs. They also include email opt-in forms. Maps. Testimonials. Video sliders. Divi Builder's powerful features allow you to easily create and customize websites without having to use dozens of plugins.
Options for customization
Divi Theme Builder allows you to customize the whole website. It also has options for creating blog posts and conditionally applying different templates to the various sections of the site. Though it requires more work than other plug-and-play themes, Divi is a great option for those who want to have a unique look for their site. Let's take a look at some of the customization options. You can use this theme for personal or commercial purposes.
The typography panel allows you to adjust the default fonts on your website. You can change the size of the body and header text proportionally. You can also change the line height and letter spacing of fonts. There are nearly a hundred fonts available to choose from. You can change the font used for your header to a different style. Divi also allows you to change the default font size of your header.
Responsive design
When designing a website, you may want to consider using a responsive design. If Divi Woo Products is used, previously known as the Shop module. You may wish to adjust the columns for the desktop version to have two to four columns, where the default display has four columns. For your mobile site, however, you may want to use a single column with a focus point that is not in the center of the screen. The Divi Responsive Helfer settings can be used to adjust the number and focus points of the columns.
One common mistake people make is thinking that they can adjust the margins by dragging them around with a mouse, which is often ineffective and can lead to weird margins on smaller screens. Additionally, when it comes to font sizes, Divi has default font sizes for both the header and body text. These settings can be easily changed so your website looks amazing on any device. You can see your changes immediately after making them.
Using shortcodes to customize your Divi theme is easy. Divi offers many shortcodes that you can paste directly into your theme's code. Divi also includes a library of shortcodes you can use to display specific templates. You can assign shortcodes for saved elements within your Divi theme. These are just a few examples of Divi shortcodes that you could use to personalize your Divi theme.
A common problem with Divi is that it stores all of its content as shortcodes. This can be problematic for developers, as shortcodes often cause escaping problems. Divi will be compatible with Gutenberg blocks as WordPress abandons the custom rich content model. This will allow you to have greater control over your Divi design. You will find the Divi theme creator easy to use and it will help you save time and effort.
Exporting templates
Exporting your Divi Theme Builder template is simple. Once you have created a template, you can edit it by deleting or modifying certain elements. When exporting your template, you can use it on other Divi sites. If you need to use it on a new site, you will need to reimport it. You have several options to export your template. Listed below are some of them. Learn how to export Divi templates.
Go to the portability tab of the theme builder, and then click on the import button. Once the export is complete, you will have to assign your template to pages or posts. To export your Divi template, click the import icon at the top right corner of the page. Then, click the arrow icon in the Import tab. After it is imported you can assign it to any post or page on your site.

Committers Charter
Committers are responsible for:
- Maintaining and enhancing the Virgo code base
- Ensuring the Hudson CI jobs pass all tests (blue ball)
- Responding to queries on virgo-dev
- Handling contributions
- Developing contributors into committers
- Complying with Eclipse IP policy
- Keeping an eye on the Virgo forum
Machine Setup
You need Sun JDK 6, Apache Ant 1.8.2 or later, and git. You'll probably want an IDE such as Eclipse and, in order for Virgo projects to build under Eclipse, the Virgo IDE tooling and AJDT (the current update site may be found on http://www.eclipse.org/ajdt/downloads/).
Don't forget to install AJDT as this is needed so that Eclipse produces the same compiled classes as the Ant build!
At the time of writing, some ant targets occasionally fail because they cannot load classes from jsch-0.1.42.jar. A workaround on Mac OS X is to copy this JAR from virgo-build's /lib/ivy directory to /opt/local/share/java/apache-ant/lib.
On Mac OS X, increase the default number of concurrently open files by adding this to .profile:
ulimit -n 10000
To run certain scripts (don't run them unless you know what you're doing—and why), you'll need ruby, gems, and the 'choice' gem. On Mac OS you can get these by installing the XCode tools (from the Mac OS X disk) and MacPorts, then issuing:
sudo port -v install ruby (Not required on Mountain Lion) sudo port -v install rb-rubygems (Not required on Mountain Lion) sudo gem install --remote choice
To run scripts such as Releaselor or Ripplor you'll need to:
- Generate SSH key by calling ssh-keygen without a passphrase
- Upload your public SSH key to build.eclipse.org
- login with user
- follow the steps described here
- login with user
- Log in (adding the host key) at least once to:
- build.eclipse.org
- download1.eclipse.org
- Add your private key to ANT_OPTS:
If you have headless environment you may want to add to ANT_OPTS:
To enable Clover you will need to specify in ANT_OPTS the path to the licence:
Notes for Ubuntu
It is recommended to use the official Oracle JDK and not the OpenJDK. The offical Oracle JDK can be downloaded from the Oracle Java site.
In addition to detailed coding and testing policies describe later, there are some specific policies that committers need to be aware of.
Event Log Message Policy
Please avoid renumbering event log messages when possible. People sometimes write scripts that act on event log messages. Some of our tests may even be sensitive to the numbers. So renumbering an event log message can cause unnecessary disruption to our users and ourselves.
You can grok the high level structure of Virgo by understanding the set of git repositories that comprise Virgo.
Use OpenGrok for searching the master branch of the entire Virgo code base. Always specify "Virgo" in the File Path field to avoid hits in Gemini Web and SpringSource dm Server which are also included in that index. Note that there is a link to OpenGrok on the Virgo home page for convenience.
To get an idea of the dependency structure, use OpenGrok specifying "virgo build.versions" in the File Path field and, to see dependencies on a specific component, the component name in Full Search. For example, this search shows the git repositories that depend on the kernel.
Virgo has a strong emphasis on maintainable, or "clean", code. If you need a really good introduction to coding, we recommend "Code Complete". If you are already a proficient programmer and want to write really clean code, read "Clean Code". If you are not an expert in writing Java, read "Effective Java".
Virgo code is thread safe unless specifically stated. Achieving thread safety in Java is not easy. We recommend "Java Concurrency in Practice" for a good grounding in Java concurrency.
Coding guidelines are here.
A Contextual Bash History can be very useful, guide here.
Eclipse Setup
- Install the Virgo IDE tooling into Eclipse as described under the Tooling tab.
- Install AJDT into Eclipse. This is necessary so that Virgo projects which use AspectJ are correctly woven when rebuilt under Eclipse.
- Install egit into Eclipse. This step is recommended but not absolutely essential since it is possible to perform git operations on the command line or using some other git GUI tool.
- Build the Virgo git repository you want to import into Eclipse as described under the Build tab. Ensure you see BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
- Import the projects of the chosen git repository by using File->Import->Git->Projects from Git. Then click Next and add the git repository, select it, and click Next. Select the "Import existing projects" wizard and click Next. Check the projects you want to import (typically org.eclipse.virgo.xxx where xxx corresponds to the repository - other projects such as test bundle projects and any inside the build-xxx and virgo-build directories are unlikely to be of interest) and click Finish.
- If you see lots of errors, you probably need to define a suitable classpath variable, e.g., KERNEL_IVY_CACHE, to point to the Ivy cache which has been built in the local copy of the git repository (actually to the ivy-cache/repository folder).
- There should be no errors (marked in red). Occasionally, the build paths get out of step with the build.versions file and need updating.
See Test.
Jenkins CI
Committers should subscribe to firstname.lastname@example.com so they are notified when builds fail, become unstable, become stable, etc.
Build breaks should be investigated as soon as they occur and should be fixed as soon as possible.
IP Due Diligence
Handling Code Contributions
Committers are responsible for ensuring that Eclipse IP policy, summarised in the legal poster, is adhered to.
Patches must be attached to a bugzilla bug and have its iplog flag set to '+', and the contributor must confirm in the bug that: they wrote 100% of the code, they have the right to contribute the code to Eclipse, and new Java files contain the appropriate license header.
If the contribution is provided in an external git repository, it is not necessary to attach a patch to the bug: details here.
Raising "works with" CQs
"works with" CQs are required for test dependencies which are not distributed with Virgo or checked in to Eclipse version control (git, svn, cvs).
The initial set of test dependencies was determined, for repositories which are built with ant, as follows:
1. In the build-xxx directory run ant report
2. Extract a raw list of the test dependency jars
find <report directory> -name "*-test.xml" -exec grep -E \/.+\.jar {} \; >test-jars.txt
3. Edit test-jars.txt using an editor with a regular expression global change facility and do the following global changes.
3.1 Replace regex .+\/(.+)\.jar\"> with $1.jar.
3.2 Replace regex .+\/(.+)\.jar\"\/> with $1.jar.
3.3 Replace -sources with the empty string
4. Sort test-jars.txt and remove duplicate lines.
5. Look through test-jars.txt and raise "works with" for any JARs which don't have a Virgo CQ for the correct version. Also, raise corresponding Virgo bugzillas and set the iplog flag to enter the bugzillas in the automated IP log.
Development process advice
To enable distributed and cooperative development, some simple rules and processes need to be followed. These are all subject to change and are in the nature of advice rather than laws.
The advice is here.
Agile Project Management
The basic principle is that tasks which need to be worked on are placed in the backlog. For a particular sprint, some of the tasks in the backlog are moved to the sprint and completed. So no task appears in both the backlog and a sprint.
Import bugs from bugzilla into Acunote as follows:
- Export all the open bugs for Virgo (and Gemini Web if you like) to a CSV file using the CSV link on the bugzilla search results panel.
- Go to the "Imported from bugzilla" sprint (not really a sprint at all) and import the CSV using the Tools link followed by "Import tasks from Bugzilla" (not "Import tasks from CSV"). Make a note of the task numbers added.
- Go to the "Imported from bugzilla" sprint and copy the tasks added in the previous step to the backlog.
- It is helpful to categorise bugs and features using the "More Actions" pull down. We put the bugs at the top of the backlog so we don't lose track of them.
To work on a sprint:
- Add a sprint.
- Move tasks from the backlog into the new sprint to work on them. If you don't complete them, move them to a new sprint or move them back to the backlog.
Since we are trying to use Acunote to manage sprints in Southampton, Sofia, and potentially elsewhere, please ensure that bugzilla is kept up to date in case the Acunote data gets corrupted.
Note that we never remove tasks from the "Imported from bugzilla" so that subsequent imports do not accidentally re-create finished tasks. The maintainers of Acunote recommended this technique.
If you have need to use the Virgo logos some example and the svg source can be found here.

After eight years on the air at "Saturday Night Live," Jason Sudeikis says he's calling it quits.
Sudeikis used another late-night institution to make his announcement, telling David Letterman in the taping of Wednesday's show that he's leaving NBC's weekend program. Sudeikis had a busy election year on "Saturday Night Live," portraying both Republican Mitt Romney and Vice President Joe Biden.
Sudeikis told Letterman that his time on the show has been "really, really amazing."
It's an exodus of male cast members at "SNL." Both Fred Armisen and Bill Hader previously announced they were leaving the show. Seth Meyers will be replacing Jimmy Fallon on his late-night talk show when Fallon moves up to the "Tonight" show.

Stairway to heaven: Polo Grounds steps coming back
MLB, Giants, Mets, Yanks among contributors to restoration of 100-year-old structure
Ed Lucas ran down the John T. Brush Stairway, behind the Polo Grounds, a little boy thrilled about going to his first big league ballgame.
He and his father, Ed Sr., a lifelong Giants fan, were making their way down from Coogan's Bluff, the hillside overlooking the horseshoe-shaped ballpark in Upper Manhattan.
Several years later, Lucas negotiated the steep concrete steps more slowly, because this time he couldn't see them. At 12 years old, he was blinded by a freak baseball sandlot accident while recreating Bobby Thomson's famed "Shot Heard Round the World," the pennant-winning homer hit on Oct. 3, 1951.
Now 18, his love for baseball hadn't dimmed. In fact, the anticipation was even greater because he was going to interview the New York Giants' greatest player, Willie Mays.
"That was 1957, the last year the Giants were in New York," said Lucas, of Union, N.J. "I remember holding on my uncle's arm and going down the steps very slowly from Coogan's Bluff so I could go into the Polo Grounds through the press gate. My uncle, Gene Furey, was carrying a large Pentron reel-to-reel tape recorder. The door we entered went right through to the dugout, because if you remember, the clubhouses at the Polo Grounds were in center field. We were greeted by an attendant named Barney O'Toole. He set the tape recorder up in the dugout and brought different players over -- Willie Mays, Bobby Thomson, Gail Harris, Whitey Lockman, Don Mueller."
Millions of fans used the John T. Brush Stairway from 1913 until the Mets, who played their first two seasons at the Polo Grounds, left Manhattan for Queens following the 1963 season. Few people have more vivid memories of the steps than Lucas, or a greater appreciation for their place in New York baseball history. For the past half-century, he's gained the admiration and respect of countless ballplayers as a blind sports journalist.
The steps were named for the late Giants owner, who presided over the team from 1890 until his death in 1912. In fact, the third and final version of the Polo Grounds was called Brush Stadium from 1911, when it was reconstructed following a fire, until 1919. It was a name that never stuck.
The concrete-and-steel ballpark replaced the earlier wooden version. Home plate was near the base of Coogan's Bluff, with the diamond facing east toward The Bronx, on the opposite side of the Harlem River. The outfield was a massive expanse, 483 feet from home plate to the clubhouse steps in dead center field.
Harry N. Hempstead, Brush's son-in-law who succeeded him as owner of the Giants, had the John T. Brush Stairway built and presented it to the city during ceremonies on July 9, 1913.
From atop Coogan's Bluff, above and behind the Polo Grounds, the stairway went from Edgecombe Avenue, between 157th and 158th Streets, down to the ticket booths behind home plate. The stairs also gave people a way to reach the Speedway, a once-popular Harlem River promenade, in addition to seeing some of baseball's greatest and worst teams, from John McGraw's Giants, who played in nine World Series from 1903-24, to the 1962 Mets, who lost more games than any team.
For nearly a half-century, however, the stairway has played a different role, carrying tenants to a high-rise housing project that replaced the Polo Grounds, and until recently they had crumbled into a dim reminder of a once-proud, bygone era.
In 2011, the New York City Parks and Recreation Department launched a $950,000 restoration project and now the stairway is scheduled for a "soft opening" this spring. Major League Baseball gave $50,000 to the project, along with other old Polo Grounds tenants -- the San Francisco Giants; the Yankees, who played there from 1913-23; the Mets; the New York Jets (nee Titans), who played their first four AFL seasons there, and the New York football Giants, who played there from 1925-55.
About halfway up the stairway there is a landing, before the steps turn left to the top of the hill. Steel letters in the concrete landing say, "The John T. Brush Stairway. Presented by the New York Giants."
The original steel lettering has remained intact for the past century, although corners of the landing have broken away. During restoration, the landing is being returned to its original look.
"The letters were removed and are being reinstalled," said Philip Abramson, parks department spokesman. "The stairway reconstruction maintains the location and characteristics of the prior stairway. While incorporating similar material elements of steel and concrete, the stairway is being upgraded to meet today's building code. The lower landscaped area of the stairway will include new picnic tables and add a game table, benches and landscape elements."
A rededication ceremony is anticipated, with details forthcoming when the project is complete. Fans of the New York Giants baseball team hope it will be on July 9, on the stairway's 100th anniversary. For them, it's the most exciting development at the site since their team won the 1954 World Series.
"This is the last piece of real evidence that the Polo Grounds existed, other than the plaque that indicates where the approximate location of home plate was," said Gary Mintz, president of the New York Giants Preservation Society. "It would be wonderful if they would add signage or statues in the area. Perhaps they can name some trails after famous Giants like Carl Hubbell, Mel Ott, John McGraw and Christy Mathewson or maybe have a statue of Mays making 'The Catch' or Thomson's 'Shot Heard 'Round the World.'
"This is historic ground and should be preserved and treasured any way possible. The Giants' history in New York was tremendous and judging by the legions of fans today, the New York Giants and San Francisco Giants haven't been forgotten in New York."

If you've ever used one of those free traffic generation systems, you know that some programs provide free trials while other programs charge a fee for access. This is why you'll have to compare the different programs and see which one provides the best value for money. You will be glad you did when you compare what's available and what each program offers.
When comparing the apps, you should bear in mind that both Clickfunnels and Leadpages provide similar services. Both are excellent tools for generating landing pages for your website and both are great for generating leads. Nevertheless, in many ways both programs are extremely similar. You cannot make a reasonable decision about what's the best program without understanding the details, can you?
In order to learn whether these programs are truly similar, it is important to find out how much each program costs. These programs will not be totally similar, but some similarities do exist.
For example, both programs offer free trials which allow you to check the system before you buy. If you sign up for both apps then this gives you a opportunity to find out whether or not they're worth buying. However, if you're just interested in one of these programs then you are probably better off using a free trial of the other program.
The cost to use another program will also change a whole lot. If you sign up for a paid version of the free or paid version then the cost can be very high. If you decide to get a free version of either of those programs then the cost will be minimal.
When choosing between the programs then you'll also have to do your own research and decide which one is the best for you. If you're just starting out then you probably would not have to pay any money to start. But as you start to construct a more targeted list of subscribers then you will have to choose a good program.
Another thing you need to know about Leadpages and Clickfunnels is that one program is better for generating leads and one is better for sales. So in general terms, if you are trying to build a massive list, then Clickfunnels is probably going to be greater than LeadPages. If you are looking to construct a smaller list then the opposite is true.
Overall, when comparing what's available on the world wide web, you should compare what's available to you through Clickfunnels vs leadpages. After all, your choice will create all the difference in the world as much as how successful your internet business is.
When you are signing up for the programs, both leadpages and clickfunnels will have different payment options. Both programs will have their own payment systems. And both programs will have their own time lines.
So you can see that Clickfunnels will be popular with some people because they can provide you with a payment plan that works for them. With leadpages though you have more flexibility and control as to when your money comes in.
A few of the advantages and disadvantages of these two programs are discussed in additional sources available on the internet. These resources will include blogs and articles. So it is going to help to find out more about these programs and look at them in the source area of comparison.
If you want to compare the two programs then you will be able to decide which one is going to be the better option for your business. But whatever choice you make, always take into account the quantity of time and money you're going to be saving. In using either of these two programs.

The reaction was predictably negative: When former Sen. Bob Dole on Sunday criticized how far the current party has shifted right and advised fellow Republicans to take a timeout for a party self-examination, conservatives almost immediately dismissed him as an anachronism.
One of the few — if not the only — Republicans who seemed willing to openly support the 1996 GOP presidential nominee and former Senate party leader Tuesday was another marginalized former senator, Republican Olympia Snowe of Maine.
In a Fox News Sunday interview, the disabled World War II veteran, now nearly 90, essentially said the Republican National Committee should stand down for a while.
"I think they ought to put a sign on the national committee doors that says 'closed for repairs' until New Year's Day next year and spend that time going over ideas and positive agendas."
Dole also said that compromise with Democrats was the only way for Republicans to effectively govern.
Dole said he doubted that he, Richard Nixon or even Ronald Reagan could have been successful in today's Republican Party. "I just consider myself a Republican, none of this hyphenated stuff. I was a mainstream conservative Republican, and most people are in that category," Dole said.
Again, not the kind of talk designed to win favor with today's conservatives. And he didn't.
Someone posting as "Lakeside Granny" on the conservative FreeRepublic.com discussion board wrote: "... I felt really sad for Dole. He reminded me of Goldwater in his last years. But that being said.... However, the party Dole remembers is one of always deffering to the Dems, always reaching across the aisle. The Dems always got their way. Well, we have had enough!!!!!"
And from a lengthy post by "Griffin" on RedState.com site:
"Bob Dole's Republican Party was a party which was hostile to true social and fiscal conservatives. That is why he was trumped by Clinton and that is why he is irrelevant today... "
Meanwhile, searching for "Bob Dole" and "tax collector" brought tweets referencing Newt Gingrich's killer line that Dole was "tax collector for the welfare state."
"Griffin's" point about Dole's irrelevance is itself relevant when thinking about Dole's criticism. The party that Dole knew has been replaced by a party with better prospects in congressional elections than national elections. And in many of those House and Senate elections, the further Republican candidates are from the political center, the better they'll fare.
With most House districts and many smaller or less populated states reliably red, the biggest concern many incumbent Republican lawmakers have is being viewed as a moderate — a recipe for a primary challenge.
Thus, for many Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate, Dole's advice, indeed, makes little sense. Anyone who doubts that could just ponder the tales of Dole's old Senate colleagues Arlen Specter and Robert Bennett.

Mobile patrols take a oscillate approach, constantly surveilling entirely property to detect criminal activity. They search the premises and look more because they have oscillate points of view than one static direction provides. Mobile patrols can as well as check on locations or entrances that don't obsession constant executive but may plus from occasional oversight.

To some folks, that language is strong, frightening, and offensive. This is expected: we live in a bizarre, post racial, post Civil Rights moment, where to call a white person--especially a Conservative--a racist is a bigger sin than racism itself. The public needs to be reminded that racism is not just mean words. Racism is not defined by intent (the common "he or she didn't mean it that way" defense). Racism is not limited to the KKK, skinheads, or signs that say "Colored Drinking Fountain," or "No Mexicans, Negroes, or Dogs."

What is the right amount of blacks to show in a Romney ad? In the first ad, the workers, with one exception, look to be all white. In the second ad, most of the ad is of closed businesses, with a few quick shots of people, most holding protest signs. As (and you would likely agree with this) few of those protesters were black, shouldn't we expect the sign holders to be white?
How does Romney make his points without being called racist? - August 8, 2012 at 6:04 PM
@OTB Romney can make his points by not using racism in his ads. It really is simple.

@OTB, Hopeful Presidential candidate Romney could easily make his point by refraining from being an untruthful, hypocritical racist!

On That Barack the Welfare King Obama Ad: Mitt Romney is a Racist Liar. Why is the Media Afraid to Hold Him Accountable? – Chauncey D.
Personally, I do not believe that the media is afraid of holding wishful presidential seeking Mitt Romney accountable. An abundance of fear by the media is not the problem at all. The media is in fact, THE PROBLEM! The media pulled the same stunt during the Reagan era with the so-called "war on drugs". The administration befriended the major media outlets so that the so-called "war on drugs" could be first hyped, then justified to get more federal funding to quash a problem that didn't really exist. In short, a ghost of a problem that came with harsher penalties targeting primarily Black and Brown people for even a miniscule amount of drugs.
According to the Washington Post, earlier this year, President Obama sent a letter to all Governors and stated that he would consider granting waivers from work participation requirements for an array of projects. However, he would not approve any waiver likely to reduce access to employment. President Obama never removed the clause that required welfare recipients to work.
Moreover, in 2005, then Governor Romney joined in concert with other GOP governators in promoting "increased waiver authority" at the state level. Obviously, it's quite difficult for Mitt to speak the truth. Mitt is the epitome of a racist, hypocritical liar. Apparently, when he increased waiver authority as Governor of Massachusetts, he thought of it as a decent idea. However, now that he's running for POTUS, he's not so fond of it.
There are no surprises here regarding Mitt's deep pockets and the media's insatiable appetite to spin a story targeting the working class. The media has a salient history of pulling off stunts such as this, even more so during political seasons. Shame on wannabe President Romney!
Again, I'm not really a fan of Obama, however, he is the lesser of two evils here! - August 8, 2012 at 9:55 PM
- Plane Ideas said...
Black Sage really is that your litmus test Obama is the lesser of two evils come on give me something more than that tired trick...
Your template gives to much capital for Mitt he is nowhere in any merit on the same plane with BO. Mitt is a minor figure on any score card of course you know this stop allowing your disdain for BO stain your focus here much is at stake for the community - August 8, 2012 at 10:11 PM
" Eventually, someone will have the courage to speak truth to power, and demand some basic answers about the bigotry and racism that Romney has been using to advance his presidential campaign."
Really? I doubt this will happen at all. The major media, TV journalism and print journalism, is owned by maybe five or six, media conglomerates whose CEO's are largely Republican. Even the so-called left leaning MSNBC will gloss over obvious news in an effort not to offend corporate advertisers, which are also largely Republican. Besides, Mitt rarely talks to media unless it is Republican campaign channel Fox. Who there is going to confront him on walking the racist tightrope? Legitimate, straightforward and informative muckraking is a thing of the past. Sacrificed on the alter of all things money. If a journalist wants to keep their job, they had better not ask hard hitting questions and if they do they had better not expect direct answers. This is how Mitt has been able to succeed thus far. Avoid anything that smacks of neutral media, McCarthy-ize any reporter who asks for truthful answers; or any answers, offer vague solutions, lies and race baiting. While doing this, hoping that everyone only pays attention to him pointing at President Obama so they don't realize what a horrible fellow American he has been.
So you have a combination of lack of effort or willingness to stick the neck out, on the one hand and effective evasiveness by the candidate seeking to be elected, on the other. Both make it less and less likely that Mitt will ever be confronted on his tactics. Heck the media won't even call his lies, LIES. - August 8, 2012 at 11:12 PM
- Black Sage said...
What tired trick are you referring to? As far as I'm concerned, the entire US political system is hopelessly corrupt and influenced mostly by money and who politicians know. You stated that Romney is a minor figure compared to Obama, well then, you should give me something to support your claim. Moreover, I gave you reasons in my post as to why I believe Mitt is not only a liar, but a racist as well. I'm waiting, therefore, hit me with something to backup your point. - August 8, 2012 at 11:26 PM

Agree with your take on all these ads. They freak me out.
A data point for what it is worth. I just got back from a visit with my 85-year-old White father who hates Obama and liberals and gets his news from Fox. He thinks there is no way the Republicans will win the election in the fall. I'm not sure he actually has any clue what he is talking about, so I wouldn't want to bet anything significant based on his opinion, but I was rather surprised by his take. Maybe the race-baiting is a sign of their desperation? - August 9, 2012 at 12:46 AM
- Black Sage said...
your 85-year old father's keen observation of today's naked, empty political atmosphere is right on point. I believe wishful presidential candidate Romney's camp also recognize that his chances of capturing the White House are getting slimmer by the day. This explains why he's pulled out his race/welfare card in an attempt to drum up support for his continually failing campaign. - August 9, 2012 at 6:35 AM

@sabrina. the mass media in this country are owned by 3 corporations (someone correct me if need be) that are among some of the richest entities in the world. theses same companies also make weapons, control global energy, and food. this is a narrow set of interests tied into the global power elite. that isn't conspiracy talk--i believe the number is actually 3-6,000 who actually control the show at this point in a world of billions.
@elder. the right wing echo chamber needs to gin up desperation among its followers to justify the even more radical steps they are going to take. remember, sometimes you need to destroy a village in order to liberate it.
@nomad. don't believe the talking heads on the tv. yes, they like a horse race and are covering minutia to fill time. despite what some of the early polling data says, this race is going to be very, very close. the obamabots are going to be clinching theirs butts way past midnight waiting to see what happens. - August 9, 2012 at 12:05 PM

Excellent post, as always, holmes. Your analysis of the intentionally racist Romney narrative is undeniably correct, and the only people who could possible deny it are self-interested whites caught up in the white racial frame and unwilling to accept reality.
(Note: "sure up" should be "shore up".) - August 9, 2012 at 12:12 PM
- Comrade Physioprof said...
Oh, and BTW, in answer to your question: I don't think the media are "afraid" to hold Romney accountable. Rather, they have no desire to hold him accountable because it is in their interest that he continue to not be held accountable.
This is for a number of reasons:
(1) The political media are almost all wealthy coddled white millionaires who are embedded in the white racial frame and benefit from it socially and financially.
(2) The political media benefit from a presidential "horse race" that is as close as possible. They thus refrain from reporting or analysis that they perceive as possibly leading to a widening of the gap between candidates, and engage in reporting and analysis that they perceive as closing any gap. - August 9, 2012 at 12:58 PM

I don't entirely see the reason for ANYONE to vote Mitt Romney into office, if we're being entirely honest. This man has plans to bring down women, minorities, the middle class and younger generations. The only people he has yet to offend is the white man, which he won't do, because he is a white man.
Barack Obama has been trying, yes, and the only reason he has get to succeed is because all Republican's in Congress aren't letting him do anything. Sure, call out Obama and the democratic party, when they start fighting back, but not a single person is looking at rhe obvious; they wouldn't have to fight back if Republicans played fair. Between the amount of child's play they're putting the President through, he has no time to try things he has wanted to change.
Will it be any different with Romney? Probably not. He's pissed off 2/3 of this country, and put himself in a terrible position.
Just this morning, him and members of the republican party were talking about demolishing abortion, because a woman can "stop a man from raping her."
As completely inconsiderate as he is, he also lacks quite a few pieces of knowledge from the woman side of America.
If he gets voted into office, my family and I are moving out of the country. - August 27, 2012 at 1:40 PM
And don't forget that the majority of welfare recipients are white.

I think this is a really great article. As a white person, sometimes the subtleties of racism, I don't catch at all until it is pointed out (i.e. years ago, I didn't think about the whole "flesh colored band aids" until it was pointed out.)then of course, it becomes obvious.
I also think that oftentimes people who are racist don't think of themselves as such. ( I mean who wants to think of themselves that way?!) Here is a prime example: years ago I worked in a company and we hired a young black man to work in the back office. One of the women who worked back there (albeit, very uneducated) was very upset about hiring him and said, and I quote "I'm not a racist, but I keep my pocketbook back there!" Really?! Really?! So I think no one (except the KKK) would really define themselves as that. And the obvious and subtle messages of these ads speak to that. - September 17, 2012 at 11:44 AM

The only census which can be easily searched is that for 1881. All the rest require searching page by page of handwritten information. The effort required is considerably reduced if a surname or street index exists, but it is still not a trivial task. Please bear this in mind before requesting lookups via e-mail lists or newsgroups.
If you want to look at the census then try the following places:
- The Local Studies library for this area will normally hold a copy for the local area.
- The National Archives in London, holds copies of all the released census for England and Wales.
- LDS Family History Centres around the world can order the census for you to research there.
If you want to purchase your own copy of the census film/fiche, then you obtain a copy from the National Archives/Public Record Office.
If you know of the existence of any other indexes or transcripts, then let us know and we can add their location to this page.

Red Sox - 001 700 100 00 - 9 13 1Nelson Cruz crushed Tim Wakefield's only pitch to deep left to give the Rangers the win in a game Boston at one point led 8-2.
Rangers - 110 220 210 01 - 10 17 1
After Boston scored seven times in the fourth -- the inning being kicked off by three consecutive home runs from David Ortiz, Adrian Beltre, and J.D. Drew -- the Sox bats were pretty quiet.
Drew clubbed a second dong, in the seventh, but the Texas pen retired the last 11 Red Sox hitters and 14 of the last 15. At the same time, the Rangers' bats were clawing back to tie the game against Felix Doubront and Daniel Bard.
The Royals beat the Yankees 4-3 and the Orioles beat the Rays 5-0. So the night wasn't a total fucking waste.Josh Beckett / Tommy Hunter
Following three nice starts coming off the disabled list, Beckett was mauled by the Yankees last Sunday. A few readers wondered why Beckett pitches so badly against the Yankees. I thought it might have been a matter of perception, because I know there have been some gems along the way, but Beckett has been the worst regular season starter against New York in the last half-century (minimum 20 starts).

Don't get caught using eco-friendly light bulbs in Glenn Beck's office
Do anything to combat global warming in Glenn Beck's office? You're fired.
To prove his case against global warming, which Beck labels a "load of socialist, communist crap," the right-wing talk-show host announced his war against energy-efficient light bulbs.
On air, he asked a staffer to write a memo that threatened to fire anyone caught using one. The YouTube video of the moment was picked up by Grist.
"I'm dead serious," Beck said on his radio program, as his employees titter nervously. "I fire the person that starts to purchase fluorescent light bulbs, unless that is the only light bulb for a very specific reason, and I want to be cc'd on what that reason is." How about to light a dark room? Is that reason enough?
But Beck's vendetta against eco-friendly office supplies doesn't end there. He told one worker not to purchase any more recyclable spoons, either.
"If anyone does anything in this company because of global warming, they're fired," he said. He's OK with saving trees, though. Except for writing all those memos.
Perhaps Beck didn't get the memo that a majority of Americans believe climate change is real.

Wednesday night's presidential debate in which Mitt Romney shellacked Barack Obama attracted the biggest audience since the debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan seven days before the 1980 election.
About 70 million Americans watched, a little more than half the 131 million voter turnout in 2008. That's an estimate, because the ratings companies don't count those watching on C-SPAN, PBS or the Internet.
Did the debates matter? The first state polls, conducted by Rasmussen and We Ask America on Thursday night, suggest the answer is yes.
Rasmussen reported that Romney was down 1 point in Ohio. We Ask America had him up 1 there.
Rasmussen had Romney up 1 in Virginia. We Ask America had him up 3. And in Florida We Ask America had Romney up 3.
These states are important because the Obama campaign has spent millions on anti-Romney ads there, to build a firewall blocking Romney from getting to a 270-vote majority in the Electoral College.
The arithmetic is fairly simple. The 28 states plus the District of Columbia and one Nebraska congressional district Obama carried in 2008 have 359 electoral votes this year. Subtract Indiana, which has fallen off the target list, and the Nebraska district, and he's down to 347.
Subtract also the 15 electoral votes of North Carolina, which Team Obama hoped to contest but where it hasn't been spending much money lately, and you're down to 332.
Obama's next three closest states were Florida, Ohio and Virginia, which together have 60 electoral votes. In every other state he carried, he ran ahead of his 53 percent share of the national vote.
Up to the debate, the tri-state strategy seemed to be working. Obama carried Florida by 3 points in 2008, and the Realclearpolitics.com average of recent polls going into the debate showed him up 2 there.
Obama carried Ohio by 5 points, and pre-debate polling had him up 5 (I've rounded off the percentages and rounded .5s to the lower integer). Obama carried Virginia by 7 points, and pre-debate polling had him up 3.
In contrast, pre-debate polls had Obama lagging further behind his 2008 showing in five other target states -- Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and Wisconsin.
Not to worry, Obama strategists said. If we hold Florida, Ohio and Virginia, we've got 332 electoral votes, way over 270. We can afford to lose the 35 electoral votes in those other five states.
But what if the firewall doesn't hold? If the big three go for Romney, Obama is down to 272. If he loses one more state, he can join Al Gore on Current TV.
The Obama strategy didn't count on a debate performance like the one 70 million Americans watched Wednesday night.
As his dazed spin team pointed out, other incumbent presidents have stumbled in their first debates. But none ever had an instant poll report, as CNN's did, that the challenger won by a margin of 67 to 25 percent.
The fact is that for all his professions of bipartisan amity, Obama cannot bear to listen to tough questions or well made counterarguments. He certainly hasn't had to in the 200-plus fundraisers he's attended.
On the split screen, we saw the same expression of irritation -- as if he smelled something really bad -- as we did when he faced tough questions from Fox News' Bret Baier, when he had to listen to Paul Ryan demolish his health care plan at the Blair House summit, when he was probed on his broken immigration promise by interviewers on Univision.
What we didn't see is the Obama who is supposedly fascinated by the details of public policy. Sans teleprompter, he repeated the talking points of his television ads and, when Romney responded sharply, he had nothing to fall back on.
We saw the president who found it fitting to jet off to campaign in Las Vegas the day after the first murder of a U.S. ambassador in 33 years.
As you read this, you have more polling information than I do as I write. It's possible that the trend suggested by the Rasmussen and We Ask America results in Florida, Ohio and Virginia will not be confirmed by other polls. And there's a whole month till the election.
Obama will surely perform better in his next two debates. Romney may not perform as well. But the first numbers suggest the firewall may be crumbling. We'll see if it holds.

Calibration of satellite altimetry
The development of satellite technology has revealed an increased need for tide gauge data. Radar altimeters on board satellites currently reach near-centimetre accuracy for measuring sea level. However, the satellite measurement must be linked to a measurement from a tide gauge located vertical to the orbit due to the sampling method and the poor knowledge of the near-shore geoid. In this case, and for the study of long-term changes in sea level, the geodetic positioning of tide gauges is an absolute necessity.
How satellite altimetry works
Satellite altimetry is based on the principle of radar: a transmitter and a receiver on a satellite measure round trip travel time, along the vertical path, of electromagnetic pulses reflected from the surface of the sea. The time can be translated into distance based on propagation speed, providing the height of the satellite above the surface with accuracy of a few centimetres. If we know the position of the satellite, we can deduce the position of the surface.
However, there are a number of inherent problems in using the technology and the data provided.
Precise positioning of the satellite
This is done by laser ranging from stations located along the satellite track. These stations must be located in a coherent reference system. Modern space geodesy technology can position specific points on the surface of the Earth with centimetre accuracy in the geocentric reference system International Terrestrial Reference System (IRTS) adopted by the International Union for Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). Because the stations are positioned in this system, it follows that the sea level measured using this technology is linked to this reference frame. This raises the problem of positioning with respect to the usual references (land levelling, mean level, chart datum). This is why stations are usually located near tide gauges.
Altimeter calibration
Like any indirect measurement instrument, altimeters must be calibrated. This consists of comparing the altimeter measurement to a direct measurement provided by a tide gauge. But the first exploitable altimeter measurement is several kilometres away from the coast, which raises the problem of the slope of the water between the tide gauge located on land and the first exploitable altimeter measurement.
Using the results
Altimeters are placed on board sun-synchronous satellites, which means they pass along the same track at regular intervals (a few days apart). The tracks are spaced a few hundred kilometres apart and oriented obliquely relative to the axis of the poles. Ascending tracks (South-North) cross descending tracks (North-South), forming a regular grid. Measurements at a given point are therefore available only at time intervals greater than the fundamental periods of the tide, which makes it impossible to analyse them using conventional methods. But, with appropriate methods, the lack of time information at a point is offset in part by the abundance of spatial information.
Altimetry measurements provide very interesting results in the field of oceanography and geodesy.
For tides, current applications include:
- improving the accuracy of cotidal line charts worldwide,
- the inclusion of these data in numerical models using "assimilation" techniques,
- evaluating the rise in mean sea level.
This technique is of obvious interest, but has its limits: the need for a reference tide gauge station, no usable data near the coast, the problem of geodesic linking far from reference stations and the difficulty of processing the data.

(This post was retopped with the latest news at 1:30 p.m. ET.)
Marking the end of the latest pitched political battle in Washington, President Obama said this afternoon that Congressional approval of measures to extend for another two months a payroll tax cut and benefits for the long-term unemployed is "good news just in the nick of time for the holidays."
"I said it was critical for Congress not to go home without preventing a tax increase" and the expiration of the long-term jobless benefits, Obama said, "and I'm pleased to say they've got it done."
He then repeated that after the holidays he wants Congress "to keep working, without drama, without delay, to reach an agreement that extends this tax cut as well as long-term unemployment insurance, through all of 2012."
The president also repeated his oft-cited estimate that the payroll tax cut means an extra $40 in every paycheck for a typical family.
We followed the day's news on the extension and its approval today. Read through to see how the story developed.
Our original post and an earlier update:
As with everything happening in Congress these days, the deal reachedThursday to pass a 2-month extension of a payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed isn't a "done deal" just yet.
And for it to be "done" later today will require the "unanimous consent" of House members — something that sounds rather daunting as one of the most partisan years in recent memory draws to a close.
As Politico wonders this morning, the key question is: "Will House frosh comply?"
"At least two House freshmen [have] left open the possibility that they would object to the unanimous consent to extend the tax holiday by two months while congressional conferees work out a year-long deal," Politico reports. They are Rep. Mo Broooks (R-Ala.) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.).
Basically, as CBS News explains, the plan is for a few of the House members who haven't already left Washington for the holidays to meet in the Capitol this morning and move to pass the extensions by "unanimous consent." It's a procedure that allows things (usually those that aren't controversial) to be passed so long as no lawmaker stands up to object.
If all goes as planned, the very slightly tweaked package also get "unanimous consent" from the Senate (where there is strong, bipartisan support and it's already been approved once).
But if any House member decides he or she doesn't like the deal, then the full House would have to reconvene — probably next week — for a roll call vote.
We'll keep an eye on what's happening and report back.
Earlier today, NPR's Tamara Keith talked with Morning Edition host Renee Montagne about the deal and the reversal by House Republicans who had opposed it.
Update at 9:33 a.m. ET. Senate Says Yes:
In a procedure that look about one minute, the Senate by "unanimous consent" just agreed to the plan. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) where there. Reid read the language of the measure. Warner, who was presiding, lowered the gavel after there was no objection. The House is expected to open at 10 a.m ET.
Update at 10:06 a.m. ET: The House of Representatives just approved the deal reached Thursday to extend both the payroll tax cut and jobless benefits for the long-term unemployed.
We explained earlier that the measure was to be passed by "unanimous consent," which basically means that unless a member stood up to object it would be approved. There were no such objections.
Earlier, as expected, the Senate also approved the plan by "unanimous consent."
