Welcome to the Falcone Research Group at the Department of Physics at the University of California, Berkeley. The natural world is a dynamic place, and our research is concerned with measuring and controlling dynamics on the length and time scales of atomic and molecular motion (nanometers and femtoseconds, and shorter). We focus on the study of ultrafast phenomena in condensed matter, molecular, and atomic physics. Typically, we initiate dynamics by depositing energy with short-duration laser pulses, and then probe the resulting excited material using time-resolved X-ray scattering techniques. Some of our recent experiments are to further out understanding of the materials under extreme conditions, e.g. exploring electronic structure and thermophysical properties of warm dense matters and density, temperature and ionization state measurment of high energy density plasmas. We also develop new technologies related to ultrafast lasers, X-ray sources, and detectors.
Much of our recent work has been conducted at Beamline 6.0.2 at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) synchrotron and our laser lab at LBL. We have also worked on experiments at the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) X-ray laser at SLAC, Jupiter Laser Facility (JLF) at LLNL and OMEGA Laser Facility at Rochester University. You can often find us inside the ALS, above the Berkeley campus. |

The Time of Enda Kenny's life - Superman act does hide the fact that Ireland's a long way from a "comeback"

Taoiseach Enda Kenny on the cover of Time Magazine |
It was hard to know whether to laugh or cry here last week when we saw Taoiseach (Prime Minister) Enda Kennyadorning the cover of Time magazine, doing his steely-eyed pose into the camera. "The Celtic Comeback," the cover headline said.
You will not have seen it on the newsstands over there since it was the cover of the European edition only. Be thankful for small mercies.
And spare a thought for Time readers all over Europe who were confronted with the disturbing sight of Endadoing his Superman act. I'm prepared to bet that most of them hadn't a clue who was he was, which must have been a bit perplexing since Time covers personalities who are usually familiar faces.
Even so, people across Europe must have been intrigued by this strange man's power stare. This is what Enda does, of course. He may not use as much make-up as Bertie Ahern did, but he's just as concerned about image.
A bit like George W. Bush, he talks in short sentences and simple language and he's slightly aggressive in his delivery, using a lot of hand chops for emphasis. Under that improbably blond head of hair, he's very stern (to show he's serious), but with the occasional twinkle in the eye (to show he's human). And he is relentlessly positive.
Ireland will never default on its debts, Ireland will do whatever is necessary to get back on track, he repeats. Lately he's started saying that Ireland is turning the corner.
He says these things with so much conviction he's probably starting to believe them himself. The trouble is very few people here go along with him.
They have seen through the empty positivity because they live in the real world, not in Kenny's parallel universe.
But whoever wrote the "The Celtic Comeback" headline appears to have bought Kenny's line. To be fair to the European editor of Time, Catherine Mayer, who wrote the cover story, her account was a lot more nuanced and qualified that the headline suggests. (Even though Enda did not make the cover in the U.S., Mayer's story was carried inside the US edition so you can read it yourself).
So as someone who wrote front page headlines for newspapers for years, let me offer an alternative. A more accurate headline would have been "The Celtic Con Job."
Because that is what we are faced with here, a financial con job that has been imposed on Ireland by Europe at enormous cost to the ordinary citizens here.
It's called a bailout, but in reality it's a way of paying back all the (mainly foreign) bondholders who gambled on the Irish property boom and making the Irish taxpayer pick up the tab.
And who is the chief enforcer of this con job on Ireland? It's the Comeback Kid himself, Enda Kenny.
The Time magazine article does quote Kenny saying that he wants a better deal from Europe on our debt. We may get one eventually.
But in the meantime he continues to work this deeply unfair bailout agreement which is depressing the Irish economy, causing record emigration and making life tough for ordinary people here.
The heroic image of Enda on the cover of Time and the headline suggests that we are on the road to recovery and that the Irish economic crisis will be over before too long. Nothing could be further from the truth. The truth is that we are not even halfway through this crisis and it's a toss up which way it goes from here.
Yes, it is true that because of the perception that we are coping with austerity, the yield on Irish bonds has come down and we may be able to get back into the money markets at some point. But the scale of the debt problem facing us is so great that we don't have a hope of keeping up with repayments. And where will our bond yields go then?
Read more news on Irish politics and government here.
There are two elements to the problem we face. The first is the €68 billion EU/IMF bailout we got, which is a millstone around the neck of the country.
As you know, the Irish state guaranteed all Irish bank debt when the crisis erupted at the end of 2008, and so far the amount of money the Irish government has pumped into the banks to make good on this promise is around €64 billion.
So almost all of the money we got under the bailout has been used to enable the Irish banks to pay off their bondholders. These bondholders took a risk lending money to the Irish banks because they wanted a slice of the high returns that were available during the boom here.
They took a chance and it did not pay off. But even so, they are getting all their money back.
The joke is that many of the original bondholders sold on at prices discounted up to 50 percent, so the new holders of the bonds are doubling their money when the bonds mature and the Irish banks pay up the face value in full.
So in effect what has happened is that the bailout money was given to the Irish government, who gave it to the Irish banks, who gave it to the bondholders.
At the end of this merry-go-round, the Irish taxpayer/state owes €68 billion in bailout repayments to the EU/IMF.
And these repayments are now part of the annual budget here, eating up a huge chunk of our tax revenues and making it much harder to balance the budget, even with big cuts in state spending.
The Irish taxpayer is being forced to pay the gambling debts in Ireland of the international money markets.
Kenny was not taoiseach when the disastrous state guarantee was given to our banks or when the bailout was imposed on us after the state went bust as a consequence. But instead of refusing to be part of this unjust system, he has gone along with it since he came into power.
It is unjust because the bondholders, including senior bondholders, should have been forced to take a hit. This was ruled out at the time by Europe because they feared it would seriously undermine confidence in European banks.
So the EU turned a European banking problem into a gigantic problem for the ordinary Irish taxpayer who had nothing to do with the boom here. It's an impossible burden for Ireland to carry.
Even hiking taxes sky high and cutting state spending to the bone is not going to be nearly enough to allow us to pay back all we "owe." The figures don't add up. We either get a large amount of debt forgiveness (and it's not really our debt anyway) or Ireland will collapse again.
So to suggest that we are now experiencing The Celtic Comeback is ridiculous.
The humiliating part of all this is that our plea to have our banking debt separated from our sovereign debt and to have Europe deal with our banking debt, was turned down flat. It was impossible, we were told.
Yet now that a major country like Spain is asking for the same thing, it is suddenly possible after all. We are now being told by Europe that the new arrangements don't apply to our "legacy" problem. But that is so ridiculous it is unlikely to be sustained.
What is clear is that, despite the impression given by the Time cover, Ireland is not showing the rest of Europe how to stage a comeback. Instead we are trailing on Spanish coattails.
Apart from bank debt, the other part of our problem is the massive budget deficit that we now have following the collapse of tax revenue when the boom became a bust. The Irish state is spending far more than we can afford.
Instead of implementing a bold adjustment plan, Kenny has been fiddling while Dublin burns, afraid to take on the vested interests and the unions.
He has failed to cut waste out of the system, to cut the pay and pensions of state workers in line with what has happened in the private sector, to reduce the hugely expensive government and NGO morass that eats up state revenue. Most of the cutbacks so far have been aimed at the poor and powerless because they can't fight back.
Despite the image of the strongman on the Time cover, Kenny's performance has been extremely weak. The magazine piece includes a few quotes from Mario Rosenstock, a brilliant satirist and mimic who makes his living sending-up our top politicians.
He got it exactly right when he told Time that Enda was a bit like Chauncey Gardiner, the Peter Sellers character in the movie Being There. The movie is about a simple gardener in Washington who is mistaken for a great seer and whose simple pronouncements on the seasons and growing plants are interpreted by the president as allegorical insights into the state of the economy.
With his Chauncey-like observations, Enda appears to have beguiled a lot of people outside Ireland that all will be well in the Irish garden. But the reality is very different. The truth is we're a long way from any kind of Celtic Comeback.

ohn I have never read an article that has a complete picture of the irish situation. It is an excellent article. I live in Limerick Ireland and you basically summed up exactly how people on the ground, the poor, the low paid and the unemployed feel. How they are paying the price for this mess. Our services are cut to pieces. Healthy services are in tatters, benefits and welfare have been slashed and people in negative equity mortgages like myself are suffering in silence and we are forgotten. The banks have full power to demand whatever they want in penalties for those struggling. Just this week AIB Bank which is 98 per cent owned by the state has increased its variable rate mortgages and the government sits back and allows them to punish already hurt and struggling people who cannot afford to put food on the table. Fuel in the form of Petrol, Gas for heating etc has all been increased and this government granted them the increases they wanted to make. We have a regulator who is impotent and powerless and panders to these big businesses. When I saw this edition of Time magazine my heart sank. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Enda Kenny lied about every single promise he made and even reversed promises he made in the election 5 minutes after getting into power. His senior Ministers have done the same especially the Health Minister who is completely incompetent and has added his own Primary Care Centres to a very strict list based on deprivation. The Junior Labour Minister for Health a well respected Labour Politician has resigned because of his stroke politics. She stated clearly that he is not working on their programme for government and she has resigned. The people at the bottom are really suffering and the rich at the top are untouched. Unions are untouchable and protect the wealthy. It is a shambles.

What? The Dean's Fellowship Program allows students to travel to Paris or Rome for one week where they will explore the city's history and culture alongside their fellow classmates and professor. After returning from Europe, students will complete the course either online or on campus during the spring 2014 semester. Using the experiences and lessons you will learn during your time abroad, each course will draw global comparisons to increase cultural understanding.
When? After ringing in the New Year, you will head to Paris or Rome, where you will spend the next week soaking up the sights and sounds of the city. For those traveling to Paris, the program will run from January 6 to January 13, while those visiting Rome will travel from January 3 - January 10, 2014.

Alvin's tale of abandonment
Alvin's Tale of Abandonment
SAUKVILLE – Five-year-old Alvin was found abandoned in a carrier at the back door of the Wisconsin Humane Society (WHS) Ozaukee Campus with only a note stating that his owners were moving and couldn't take the sweet cat along.
The note read, "He has no health issues at all. He was born in 2008 and I have been the only owner… I am moving away and cannot take him with. I do not have any money for the surrender fee."
While shelter officials were relieved that Alvin was brought to WHS, the Ozaukee Campus director Beth Maresh laments that he was left at the back door, and wants the public to understand that it's okay if you need to surrender your pet.
"People should never be embarrassed or ashamed to have to surrender an animal, and can even do so anonymously" said Maresh. "When you bring your animal to the shelter because you can no longer care for him or her, it's usually because you've exhausted all other options. We're just glad to be here to help. And it makes a tremendous difference to be able to ask questions about your animal's medical and behavior history so we can best serve him or her."
Upon his admittance, Alvin received a thorough medical examination by WHS veterinarian Dr. Randal Zeman. He was previously neutered, but had periodontal disease and needed some dental work, including the extractions of two teeth. He was a champ during his recovery from surgery, and five days later, became available for adoption.
The fee to surrender a cat is $35, but the surrender fee can be waived if a family cannot afford it. Surrender appointments are strongly encouraged to help control animal intake, especially during the busy summer season, but the humane society will never turn an animal away in need.
WHS also offers resources for people looking to rehome an animal themselves, including a "virtual rehoming service," similar to online classifieds, on its website at www.ozaukeehumane.org.

C armel Bach Festival conductor Paul Goodwin is fascinated by those Russian Matryoshka dolls that nest, one inside the other.
The artistry of these intriguing creations is often elaborate and surprising, as is the placing of the maestro's Carmel Commissions inside the music of the Bach Festival. The composer of this year's commission, a famous countertenor, and a virtuosic mandolin duo join the ensemble this year as special guest artists.
Last season's commission by composer John Corigliano was embedded in a suite of Bach sinfonias that Goodwin arranged for his inaugural festival concert. This summer the nesting of the new composition goes deeper. American composer Curt Cacioppo's "Midsummer Air" is being inserted into a Bach orchestral suite that is itself being planted into a Handel oratorio about Alexander the Great, to be performed Sunday afternoons at the festival.
Goodwin says the new Carmel Commission "is set to astonish Carmel listeners with its breadth of color and relaxed jazz style. The effect is to be like flying in a glider over Big Sur, looking down and seeing dolphins pop up from the water."
Cacioppo will be in Carmel during the festival for the premiere of his new work. A lecturer in the festival's "Music and Ideas" series, he will present a free public talk Monday afternoons at 4 called "Channeling Music for the New Millennium.
Inspiration for his works comes from many sources: nature, art, Italian literature and architecture, native American culture and baroque music, to name a few. Cacioppo composed "Midsummer Air" as a setting for string chamber orchestra and cembalo as a response to Bach's "Air on a G String." His music has been presented in the U.S. and internationally. He also performs as a piano soloist and in collaboration with chamber ensembles and orchestras.
For his composing, Cacioppo has received a lifetime achievement award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
Another exciting feature of the festival this summer is the appearance of world-renowned virtuoso Bach countertenor, Robin Blaze. Blaze will be singing in Bach's "B Minor Mass," Handel's "Alexander's Feast," and will also offer a solo concert during the festival.
Associate conductor Andrew Megill says of Blaze, "He is a really phenomenal Bach singer who has appeared with the most highly regarded Bach conductors in the world. He is one of their go-to altos."
Countertenors sing in the alto-soprano range traditionally associated with female singers. In recent decades, exceptional male singers in the high range have become sought after, especially for early music repertoire. Blaze, who hails from Britain, is known for his bravura technique and "singing of rare grace, poise, economy, and sweetness." The term "heart-stopping" has described his performance in the "B Minor Mass."
Goodwin explains that in the 17th and 18th centuries all the important church and cathedral choirs in Europe used only male voices and that much of the music, certainly Bach's, was based on the sound of the male voice. He says, "To use a mature boy alto in baroque church music would be the ideal, but is a rare occurrence. To use a countertenor is to get closer to that sound world, particularly if the countertenor has a pure and beautiful voice such as Robin Blaze's."
Blaze will perform at the Thursday "Twilight Bach" concerts at 5 p.m. July 19 and 26. The "B Minor Mass" will be performed ag 8 p.m. Saturday July 14 and 21. On Sunday afternoons Blaze will appear in the program "The Power of Music, Old and New."
Bluegrass Bach
The festival's popular Thursday night crossover concerts showcase artists from other disciplines who share a love of Bach. This year's features Bach and bluegrass. Mandolin duo Mike Marshall and Caterina Lichtenberg have reputations as highly accomplished and versatile players in the United States and Europe. They will be appearing with members of the festival orchestra in a program of Bach, Vivaldi, Bluegrass, and Bulgarian folk music. Crossover Thursdays take place at 8 p.m. on July 19 and 26.

making a new cardboard for the parcel shelf
Hi everybody. I am trying to make a new parcel shelf cardboard that the plastic is glooded to in the back under the back window of our 54 Horned Hollywood. Any tips?
Thanks Hudsonly Ray -
That's funny! I was trying to make one yesterday for my 52 Hollywood.
I make patterns from thin cardboard that I buy at K Mart and/or Dollar Tree. Panel Board sheet & 'Gel' Contact Glue is available at Lowes. Better Panel Board (waterproof) is available at 'Perfect Fit' and 'Auto Trim Stores' Online. -
Thankyou for the replys. How do I get the curve in the panel board. Ray
I think you use the thin cardboard to make a "template via trial and error. Then you use that to cut out the shape from the panel board.
At least that's what I'm going to try with my '54 Hornet later this month....I remember that the origial on my '53 sedan had large- diameter windlace around the back edge, presumably as a draft stop. I you do that too it might mean that you don't have to be as precise in cutting as you might be otherwise. I guess we'll both see....Good Luck -
I used the old panel board for a patern. You also can use clear plastic and tape it on and use a black felt marker and draw the size you want. I am still trying to figure out how to make the panel board have a curve lengthwise from quarter window to other quarter windoe. I thunk the sedan panel board is flat. Hudsonly Ray
I was thinking, depending on the thickness of the panelboard, of either scoring the back in a few places with a very shallow-depth router, which might allow the board to flex into the curve, or else, if the panelboard is thin enough, just bend it, like benderboard in the garden, and secure it with sheetmetal screws as you go. Now that I think about it, there's gotta be a better way.....Well, originally the material used was heavy cardboard, about 3/8" (??)thick. Maybe we should look for some of that...
When I did this in my '49 sedan years ago, I used clear polycarbonate sheet. In my case, I don't recall needing any major bends, just two separate pieces cut to shape, with maybe a slight bow in one of them. I covered these with a very thin foam rubber, and then a chunk of left-over headliner material glued down over that. I do have two round speakers mounted here which no doubt helps hold it all together. It still looks great many years later, and perfectly flat where it's supposed to be. Here in the midwest anything that can absorb moisture....WILL, so that's why I chose a non-absorbent material like the plexiglas. I want to do the same thing to my door panels one of these years, and replace the cardboard with the plastic.

By Steve DeVane Staff writer
ABERDEEN - Aberdeen Coca-Cola and McNeill Oil Co. want the town to reconsider how it calculates fees for privilege licenses.
Aberdeen started using gross receipts to calculate the taxes for privilege licenses in July, Town Manager Bill Zell said.
Aberdeen charges $200 for businesses with annual gross receipts of $500,000 or less. The fee increases by 50 cents for every $1,000 over $500,000.
Alan Moon of Aberdeen Coca-Cola and Frank McNeill Jr. of McNeill Oil Co. spoke to the town board at its work session Nov. 29 about the fees.
Moon said when he got the notice about the tax, he knew it would cost his business more than $5,000. When he figured the receipts for Aberdeen Coca-Cola, the fee ended up being more than $6,100, he said.
Zell said discussions with Moon lowered the tax to about $4,000.
Moon said that because his business is a wholesaler that sells to stores, those businesses are being taxed on the same product. He said that amounts to a double tax.
"That doesn't seem right," he said.
Moon also said much of his company's sales are to businesses outside of Aberdeen.
McNeill said that when he got the letter about the tax, he assumed all businesses had to pay the same rate. Because the state sets some of the fees, some other businesses pay less than $50, he said.
"At first, I thought everybody was in the same boat," he said. "We'd like to bring it to you that it's hitting a few of us pretty hard."
McNeill did not say what the tax was on his business, and Zell said he did not know.
Board members agreed to hold a meeting to talk about the issue.
Mayor Elizabeth Mofield said she thought the wholesaler issue was "a very viable argument."
"I think our intent was really retailers," she said.
A growing number of towns and cities in North Carolina are using the gross receipts method, although most use another way to calculate the fees, according to Christopher B. McLaughlin, assistant professor of public law and government at the University of North Carolina School of Government.
McLaughlin said the state sets the privilege license fees for more than 40 types of businesses, but towns have flexibility when determining the fee structure for privilege licenses on other businesses. The fee can be set at a flat rate or determined by gross receipts, square footage or number of employees.
"There's not a clear guide," he said.
McLaughlin said a town can set a different rate for wholesale and retail businesses.
"If the town wanted to make that distinction, it could," he said.
A town also could consider the amount of products sold outside the town limits, McLaughlin said. He said it is not illegal for a town to tax a product twice if it is sold by different businesses.
Mofield said the town could look at the issue and determine another fee schedule.
Zell said implementing the new fee calculation has been a learning process.
"You can't think of everything when you do a policy," he said.

No. If you developed something for your employer, it is owned by your employer, not youself. If you were an independant consultant, you have to read the detailed contract, but unless the company was a complete idiot, all contracts include a clause that says the product is theirs, not yours. What you are allowed to do, usually, is to re-implement the product, because the ideas and concepts are available to all, just not copy/paste the code. | |||

Japanese lawmakers hope this year to hit the jackpot with their decade-long quest to open Japan to casino gambling.
One mystery: why it has taken so long. Opponents say gambling could be a bad influence. Yet, even though gambling is technically illegal in Japan, denizens have long had a love affair with what could be considered the cousin of casinos—the pachinko parlor.
When Vegas gambling mogul Steve Wynn turned to Japanese slot and pachinko machine tycoon Kazuo Okada for a financial investment more than a decade ago, Mr. Okada was one of the wealthiest men in Japan. In 1999, he paid over Y2.5 billion in income tax as the nation's top individual taxpayer, according to multiple Japanese media reports at the time. He was listed on the 2010 Forbes billionaire list as the 21st richest person in Japan — No. 937 globally — with an estimated net worth of Y90 billion.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in 2011 sparked broad debate on radiation, health and safety. Fukushima Watch contributes to that debate, with sharp, easy-to-understand commentary on things nuclear and energy-related in Japan.

Auction Night
In Maine, a country auction is a form of entertainment where the faces are familiar and the show is always full of surprises.
- By: Michael Burke
- Photography by: Jennifer Smith-Mayo
A few years ago, I'm at Allen's auction house in New Sharon, and Rodney Allen, the auctioneer, brings before the crowd a zebra skin made into a rug. I think it's fantastic. Rodney jokes, "You'd be the only one to have something like it," which gets a derisive laugh. He starts the bidding low, so I know he's not expecting much.
One other person makes a desultory bid, but I get it for thirty-five dollars. (Later that year I travel to Cape Town, South Africa, and see another zebra skin rug, just like it, hanging on the wall of an upscale African arts shop. The price? About two thousand dollars. I win.)
Rodney goes on, offering an old toy bicycle that is falling apart. "You got a grandkid you don't like, this is the toy you want," he says. If something is truly junk, Rodney says it's "not that bad." A kneeler from a church goes for $22.50, a used punching bag (used for jokes, at this auction) for $57.50, a Sawyer print for $45.
This is the essence of the country auction, as it is practiced in Maine: bizarre objects, some useful, some decidedly not, selling at bargains or absurdly overpriced. The country auction is a form of entertainment, a Saturday night (or Thursday, or Sunday morning) event where the cost can be nothing, or very little, and the show is always new. The auction also serves as an ecosystem, too, buyer and seller and auctioneer serving one another. Most of all, the country auction is an exercise in community: many of the people at auctions know each other, and attending an auction where you know the auctioneer, the audience, the helpers, is like being at the local bean supper. Auctions can become addicting, as you imagine that this time, this time, there will be something for sale that you really need/want/can sell/will give away/ought to buy for Christmas.
Perhaps the most perfect example of a country auction was Harold's, held in Rome, a tiny cluster of houses along Route 225. You would have had a hard time at first telling what kind of place Harold's was: there were abandoned cars all over the yard, a gas pump selling gasoline at prices a dollar and a half out of date, and old metal advertising signs covering the ramshackle building.
Inside was a carnival: weathered, dramatic faces, a riot of objects, including dozens of railroad lanterns hanging from the ceiling, none of them for sale. Harold Hawes always perched on a stool on a small stage that took up half of one end of his garage — where during the week he fixed cars — wearing a ball cap, usually one with an automotive logo. He was slight, with thick glasses and a gray beard, and he held the microphone, which sent his voice through a scratchy one-speaker sound system, up tight to his mouth, as though he were a lounge singer.
He'd sit with one leg crossed over the other on the stool and use his right hand as a prop, urging the bidding on. He'd open the hand, palm-out, offering the item to us, wiggle his fingers as he talked, slowly flap the hand back and forth as he went from one bidder to the next and back.
"What the hell's the matter with you people?" barked Harold at an October sale one year, waving his arm loosely in the air. "That's a perfectly good piece of junk," he said, sternly, about a chipped pitcher, and the audience laughed.
When Harold's was full, there might be fifty people in the folding chairs; when it was not, the crew of office people, runners, and hangers-on at the front of the hall matched the number of attendees in the seats. At this sale, the next-to-last auction of the season, I counted twenty-five buyers.
Sadly, Harold died early in 2009, and with him went this perfect embodiment of the rural auction. The cars, the gas pump, the advertising signs, the spectacle — all gone.
Of course, rural auctions are not the only model in Maine. A new favorite of mine, and a distant relative of Harold's, is the Thomaston Place Auction Galleries on Route 1 near the St. George River. Its auctions are held on Labor Day weekend, and occasionally in the spring, and they are huge and expensive and take two days to dispense with all the accumulated antiques and art.
The Thomaston Place building is a long, wood-shingled affair, two stories tall, with weird, hexagonal windows along the first floor. It was once a chicken barn, then a weaving factory, then a storage facility, and now a high-end auction house. The aisles here in the old chicken barn are often crammed with items, and you feel as though you are in an eclectic museum, trying not to bump into any of the valuable things.
On a recent Labor Day, I see that everyone in the audience is well into their fifties and older. There are more blonds than Maine could possibly produce and all of the men look like Walter Cronkite.
The auctioneer comes to a lectern, set to one side of the main aisle. "I hope today's auction will be amusing, entertaining," he says by way of introduction. He is Kaja Veilleux, 58, a French-Canadian native of Waterville who has thick black hair that swoops back from his forehead and through which he occasionally runs his hand, as people with thick black hair often do. He is wearing a white-and-blue-striped shirt and chinos, which already distinguishes him from every other auctioneer in Maine.
The first item is a little metal bird, about four inches tall, whose purpose I can't discern. But apparently someone can, as bids come in quickly, and in seconds the bird has been dispatched for $3,300, more than any item has ever sold at the dozens of auctions I've attended.
Like all auctioneers, Veilleux has a catch phrase. It comes when he is about to end the bidding, as he waves his hand above his head, like a conductor preparing to conclude the final note: "All in, all done?" he'll say, then point emphatically at the winner.
The most dramatic moment of the weekend takes place midway through day one, when item #100 is brought in, an "OOC" (oil on canvas, in the vernacular) titled Roman Newsboys II, by Martin Johnson Heade, a painter from the late nineteenth century. This painting is obviously the signature piece of the sale, featured on the back cover of the auction catalogue, with a very long description. The estimate on what it will sell for is $150,000-$200,000.
I don't pay much attention, not being particularly smitten by the painting and having left my one hundred thousand dollar bills at home, but when the bidding reaches two hundred thousand dollars I look around to see who is involved. One bid is coming in by phone, and another bidder, who I can't spot until other people in the hall are all glancing in the same direction, is buried in the crowd. He turns out to be a rough-looking old fellow I hadn't noticed before, in ragged shorts and a polo shirt, casual among this crowd of pastels and pearls.
The bidding jumps in $25,000 increments. There are no pauses of the sort when someone is agonizing. Our man never wavers, and finally Veilleux asks, "All done?" and it is at $475,000. This gets a sustained round of applause. The rough fellow, tipped back in his chair on its rear legs with his feet on the chair in front, smiles slightly in acknowledgement, and that is all.
Something about small towns spawns auction houses: in central Maine the better known ones include Allen's in New Sharon, Holmes Auction Center in Skowhegan, and Houston-Brooks in Burnham.
Harold Holmes holds his auctions at the unlikely time of 11 a.m. on Thursday mornings. This prompts one to wonder what the reason would be to hold an auction on a Thursday morning. Holmes tells me, "There is no right day. They'd come in the middle of the night if you held it then."
The merchandise is similar to, but probably a bit more interesting than, that at Allen's, with a few gems sprinkled in amid the junk. I ask Holmes how he would characterize his sales. "I'm a generalist," he says. "The merchandise dictates what kind of sale it is. We're a country auction, that's what you'd call us. And ultimately," he says, "you are what you sell."
One day in Skowhegan a fellow standing beside me at the rear of the hall buys a glass-headed cane, a trombone, and a 45-rpm recording of George Harrison singing a forgotten ditty, "Apple Scruffs." I ask my neighbor what he's going to do with this eclectic lot, hoping they mean something important to him. He'll sell it on eBay is the unsurprising, if disappointing, answer.
The Houston-Brooks main auction building is graced with a sign that reads, "We Buy Junk. We Sell Antiques." Like Holmes', the Houston-Brooks sale is held at an odd time, Sunday mornings starting at 7 a.m. At a sale in mid-winter, under a slate-gray winter sky, the collection shows signs of fatigue, almost desperation. There is a fishing reel, a Mickey Mouse hand puppet, and a ceramic napkin holder in the shape of a baseball glove with a baseball forever embedded in the palm of the glove. We may have crossed from auction to yard sale. But it is winter, everything in Maine is tired, and by spring the offerings here will revive.
Pam Brooks, co-owner of the auction house, has no illusions about where her auction falls on the scale of Maine. "The niche we're in — we're middle of the road. I'm not saying our stuff is bad, but because we sell what comes through the door, we don't have high-end things. If we get it on a Monday, chances are we're selling it on Sunday." Yet the auction attracts buyers from all over. "Oh, yes, we pull from all up and down the East Coast, from Texas in the summer, Canadians . . . they're a mix — retailers, collectors, people who are bored."
No matter which kind of auction people attend or what they're on the lookout for — high-priced artwork, low-end trinkets, or unremarkable but dependable furniture — the same fairy tale lurks within all their hearts. "A picker [someone who goes around looking for items] bought an old Larkin desk from a lady in Skowhegan," recounts Kaja Veilleux. "He needed something to protect it, and the lady said 'You can have this old horse blanket.' The guy gave her two dollars for it. Another picker bought it from him for a hundred bucks, because that second guy knew it was a bed blanket, not a horse blanket, and I bought it from the second guy for twenty-five hundred dollars, and I sold it to another dealer in New Hampshire the next day for ten thousand dollars. So in less than twenty-four hours it had passed through four hands, from two dollars to ten thousand. And not long after it was bought in Skowhegan for two dollars, it was being offered for sale in New York for fifty thousand dollars. It turned out to be a big, thick, bed blanket that had been made by Longfellow's great-grandmother in about 1770."
I had that fairy tale in mind when Harold Hawes was working his magic during the last auction of his I ever saw. From a Betty Boop cookie jar to a pair of table lamps, the objects lifted up became ever more dreary, and we were at the point where Harold was nearly giving items away. The whole thing seemed about to fold when Harold crooned, almost to himself, "It's Saturday night, folks, it's auction night."

New Jerseyans Call for Federal Dedicated "Extreme Weather Protection and Relief Fund"
OCEAN COUNTY, N.J., Oct. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- New Jersey families, businesses and municipalities suffered a huge financial toll from Superstorm Sandy-much larger than previously reported-and estimates for uncovered costs should be expected to rise by the billions according to a new report, "Extreme Weather, Extreme Costs: The True Financial Impact of Hurricane Sandy on New Jersey Homeowners, Businesses and Municipalities", released today by US Strong.
"Things are changing, so we are going to have change," said Republican New Jersey State Senator and Senate Conference Leader Robert Singer. "Across the nation, we're seeing intense storms, more frequent storms, and unfortunately greater catastrophes. There has to be a permanent funding source, so we don't sit there and wait and say, 'Does Congress like us this year or not?' We have to look into how to fund this dedicated fund. We have to look at all avenues."
Key findings of the report include:
Dozens of New Jerseyans were interviewed for the report by a team of journalists led by Ian Shearn, former Star Ledger editor and freelance journalist. The report also includes six video interviews, including State Senator Singer, Toms River Mayor Kelaher, Toms River Business Administrator Paul Shives, Homeowners Gigi Liaguno-Dorr, and Tom and Lynda Fote, along with businessman Roy Diehl. Videos can be viewed at: http://tinyurl.com/USStrongVids.
"What lies beyond the impersonal and huge Sandy storm cost numbers is the fact that pocketbooks are being emptied, hard-earned savings have been swallowed whole, homes have been lost, small business owners' dreams have crumbled, and new debt has been incurred. This is not some future prediction. It is now the new reality of extreme weather we all are living with," stated Curtis Fisher, co-author of the US Strong report and US Strong National Campaign Director. "We cannot just talk about the need for emergency relief and storm preparedness. We need to fund it to protect the New Jersey shore and other communities across the country from extreme weather."
"Americans nationwide deserve protection from extreme weather. We shouldn't have to wait for Congressional wrangling before relief heads our way. Recent events in Congress demonstrate this fact more than ever," said Tom Fote, Toms River homeowner. "The time has also come to recognize the fact that we need more funding to protect communities from extreme weather, and the best way to do that is putting a cost on the pollution that is placing these communities in jeopardy in the first place."
US Strong has been working with thousands of New Jerseyans calling for the creation of a dedicated federal "Extreme Weather Relief and Protection Fund." This fund would support emergency response and help communities to prepare for extreme weather. A dedicated fund, like the Highway Trust Fund, will also ensure that communities get resources quickly after extreme weather disasters-rather than wait for Congress to pass disaster relief legislation.
Supporting this fund should not burden working families and businesses with increased property, income, sales and corporate business taxes -- nor should we rely on deficit spending. Instead, all revenue streams should be considered including putting a financial cost on putting more carbon pollution into the atmosphere that is fueling more extreme weather.
About US Strong: US Strong is a non-profit, non-partisan initiative focused on protecting communities from extreme weather in New Jersey and across the country. For more information visit: www.USStrong.us

We had a two bedroom suite with a big window overlooking the garden and the sea. Easy access to the beach. The bathroom was spacious and the beds comfortable. We stayed for two nights in the Black Isle Room. Owners are very welcoming and breakfast was abundant and delicious. I would stay at this hotel again.

Chamber unveils legislative agendaIn outlining its legislative agenda for the upcoming session, members of the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce Legislative Affairs Committee expressed concern Wednesday about shifts in state funding, particularly for education."The Chamber supports restoring and maintaining state funding for public education in accordance with current law," Hutchinson attorney John Caton, chairman of the committee, advised a monthly chamber breakfast audience.
"Any significant cuts in public education funding from the state level jeopardizes the delivery of a quality education system," he said. There is concern among the 30-member committee, however, Caton said, of a shift toward relying more on property taxes to fund education, even though under the state Constitution "it is the duty of the state to provide for proper funding, not local taxing entities." The population of rural Kansas continues to decline, while the concentration of wealth in major population areas grows. Shifting to more reliance on property tax would acerbate funding inequities. "If you take just Johnson County, it accounts for 25 percent of the total property value of the state," Caton said. "Add together the state's five major metro areas and they account for more than 50 percent of the property value. One mill of property tax in Johnson County can raise vastly more than a mill in Reno County, and that trend is only going to continue." Reno County has the 37th highest mill levy in the state, per 1,000 people, the committee noted, meaning 68 counties having lower property tax rates. Such a shift, the legislative agenda contends, would "have a negative impact on business growth and expansion and inability of education to provide a trained workforce." "Further concern is the reduction in funding for the High Performance Incentive Program (HPIP) and Providing Employment Across Kansas program (PEAK) incentive programs," he said. "The Chamber supports a balance of funding public education from ad valorem property taxes, income taxes, and sales tax," the agenda states. If the legislature extends a temporary sales tax that's scheduled to expire this year, the Chamber supports that money going to "education, infrastructure or other areas of economic growth, but not to replace a State General Fund deficit," Caton said. The chamber also opposes reducing or diverting Department of Transportation funds from the 10-year T-Works highway plan, or the diversion of unemployment compensation funds to any other programs. At the same time, the Chamber supports continuing the current personal property tax exemption for manufacturing machinery and equipment and opposes any return to the taxation of inventories. "Any review of sales tax exemptions should carefully consider the economic development and employment consequences of eliminated exemptions," the agenda states. The Legislative Affairs Committee, Caton advised chamber members at the breakfast, will take a more active role in lobbying the county's legislative delegation this year, and in attempting to keep chamber members informed of what's going on in Topeka and Washington, D.C. |

Prince George RCMP are reminding drivers to keep their eyes out for school zones following a close call on the Old Cariboo Highway.
On Friday morning, police pulled over an unloaded tractor trailer traveling at about 100 km/h at Pineview elementary school just outside city limits.
The truck was going so fast. police said, that the driver had to lock the wheels and skid for about 30 metres before stopping. The incident occurred at about 9 a.m. and children were in the area only a short time before, police said.
"It is a concern that some drivers are not getting the message. In this incident, a professional driver either failed to recognize the school zone or chose to ignore it," said Sgt. Al Steinhauser, head of the Prince George RCMP's municipal traffic section. "Either way, it's unacceptable."
The driver was issued tickets for speeding in a school zone and failing to wear a seatbelt under the Motor Vehicle Act.
The tickets added up to $350 in fines.
