In an article in the Telegram & Gazette, journalist Steven H. Foskett Jr. reported on journalist Cokie Roberts' recent visit to the College of the Holy Cross. In her talk, Roberts, a longtime political commentator for ABC News and a senior news analyst for National Public Radio, compared the political past to Washington's present.
Reminiscing about past decades when national politicians debated during the day and became friends at night, Roberts stated, "There's a lot of people who long for those days." She continued, saying, "I don't. There were no women in those rooms."
Notably, Roberts' father was the speaker of the House of Representatives from 1971-73, and Roberts explained that then, political families were much closer compared to now, a time when politicians do not live in the nation's capital with their loved ones. Further critiquing the nation's contemporary political climate, Roberts said that media pundits "do nothing but yell and scream," meaning "[w]e give the microphones to the shrillest voices."

56. The Fish & The Fly 3 Terrestrials - This is dry fly fishing at its best. Terrestrials are land based insects - grasshoppers, beetles, Daddy Long Legs etc. Imitations of these insects are natural additions to any flybox and Morten Oeland shows why. We join him as he uses his fantastic imitations on a number of fishingtrips in Denmark, Greenland, Germany, New Zealand and Swedish Lapland. We follow him as he chooses his fly, tactic and fishing technique in every situation. The film is packed with fact and information about fishing the terrestrial. Morten is a skilled and experienced flytier. The second movie on the DVD is about the tying of the imitations he uses. He shows step by step how he ties his original, simple and highly innovative flies. This is an instructive movie, which is also full of great moments and exciting fishing situations. Morten catches lots of beautiful fish in amazing surrouding. A film of the same high standards as the previous movies in this series. - fly fishing video channel - Global FlyFisher
57. A Fishing Year Along The River Vindelaelven - part 2 - The second episode (2 of 6) of A Fishing Year Along The River Vindelälven Valley. In this episode we follow Viktor, Tor and Stefan, who in June head to the restored tributary "Ruskträskbäcken" for both grayling and brown trout. We also get to meet fishery conservation area chairman Kaj Gambäck who enthusiastically tells about how they work with management to promote fishing which they have done very successfully with the modern applied regulations. In June, the normal spring run off the main Vindelälven river is high, but fortunately this period provides the absolute best fishing in tributaries and in the smaller lakes and ponds found along the river valley. Brown trout tend to be very active and can surprise with really fine specimens. Fishing site: Ruskträskbäcken (see google maps). Fishing management area: Ruskträsk FVO Contact: Kaj Gambäck Chairman.

Mon Nov 24 18:40:00 EST 2014, 20 58'N:106 42'W, nearing Bahia de Banderas
Shortly after dawn this morning, as the wind lightened, the nearby freighter Govnia called us on the VHF radio. The officer on the freighter wanted to know the boat's name, as there was another sailboat reported missing near Cabo San Lucas. As we were not the missing sailboat, he wished us a pleasant day and continued on his course. We have not seen any other sailboats since leaving the Sea of Cortez...hopefully the missing sailboat is ok.
I'm jumping around a bit on the blog--we cruised the coast for a couple of days after leaving Puerto Escondido, and have been offshore for four days now. The coastal cruising took us to some really nice places, and I"ll have more to say about that later.
Sun Nov 23 13:35:00 EST 2014, 25 48'N:111 17'W, Puerto Escondido
I enjoyed watching the moon rise one night in Puerto Escondido, where this picture was taken.
Thu Nov 20 16:01:00 EST 2014, 25 48'N:111 17'W, Puerto Escondido
This is one of the entrance lights to the well-protected harbor of Puerto Escondido (near Loreto). The harbor has a marina, moorings, and space to anchor (same charge to anchor as to use a mooring). With a little tienda (store), and the convenience of an easy hitchike to Loreto (a small city with supermarkets, a bus terminal and an international airport), cruising boats often spend quite a while here.
Thu Nov 13 8:05:40 EST 2014, Sea of Cortez,Mexico
The Sea of Cortez is full of beautiful scenes of mountains, cactuses and the sea.
Wed Nov 5 17:47:40 EST 2014
Sun Nov 2 11:37:00 EST 2014, 24 19'N:110 20'W, Puerto Ballandra
We left La Paz after a few days to see a bit more of the Sea of Cortez--a strikingly beautful place of mountains and desert and sea.
We attempted to sail onto the anchor at Puerto Ballandra (which isn't really a settlement, but is a nice anchorage). Didn't quite make it--reduced sail too early and lost too much speed once we were close in, with the wind becoming very light and variable due to the effect of the cliffs. So we ended up motoring onto anchor just before dark.
I could clearly see the sandy bottom (8m down) in the light of morning. We anchored in front of a beach that is beside the cliff in the picture.
Thu Oct 30 19:32:00 EDT 2014, 24 10'N:110 19'W, La Paz, Mexico
I've been seeing a lot of pelicans on docks and buoys, keeping a close watch on the water, waiting for dinner to swim by. There area a lot of (little) fish here, so the pelicans are well fed.
Wed Oct 29 12:24:14 EDT 2014, La Paz, BCS, Mexico
Normally, the first thing I notice when arriving somewhere isn't the garbage cans. However, on the Malecon in La Paz, I was struck by the nice job they had done with them.
The sailing has mostly been pleasant light winds, sunny and hot.
Fri Oct 24 22:37:16 EDT 2014
Since leaving San Diego, we have been doing a lot of sheet-to-tiller self-steering.
At first, it was just for something interesting to do. At other times, it was because the tailwind had lightened enough that sheet-to-tiller steers better than the windvane does (because of friction in the windvane and because the windvane paddle (sensor) is much smaller than the sensor (a sail) used for sheet-to-tiller.
Sheet-to-tiller self-steering is worth at least practicing on any voyaging boat in case the windvane ever fails, and for downwind in very light conditions when the windvane can't handle it.
In theory, sheet-to-tiller steering is simple:
1. When the boat heads up, apparent wind increases, which increases the force on the sheets. If the sheet is indirectly connected to the tiller via a turning block on the other side of the boat, it can turn the boat away from the wind when the boat heads up (due to the resultant apparent wind increase).
2. A bungee cord or similar pulling the tiller in the opposite direction will turn the boat towards the wind. When apparent wind decreases (which decreases force on the tiller, allowing bungee cord to exert more control)
Note that the sheet does not directly connect to the tiller. The sheet is made down as usual. A control line is tied to the sheet in such a way that it deflects the sheet, and this deflection of the sheet is what goes through the turning block to the tiller.
In practice, there is some trial and error involved (much more at first, until one learns the system). It will take some messing about to get the right positioning of the control line and the right amount of elasticity for the wind speed and point of sail that you are on.
--What sheet to use? Any that one can get a good lead on the control line from. I usually use the main staysail, but any sheet can work.
--How many bungee cords? I usually use one, sometimes two, and aim to get the bungee close to neutral (no pull) when the tiller is at or near midships.
--Where on the sheet to attach? Depends on how much deflection you want--I aim for a deflection of about 15cm/6".
After learning how to do it, it takes a few minutes of adjusting to get sheet-to-tiller setup for a particular course.
Sheet-to-tiller demands a better balanced boat than a windvane does. Either will handle a slightly unbalanced boat, but, for instance, Issuma's windvane can usually steer on a broad reach with or without poling out the jib. Using sheet-to-tiller on a broad reach, Issuma's jib needs to be poled out. This also means that setting/dousing/reefing sails is likely to require an adjustment of sheet-to-tiller steering.
So, while I really like Issuma's windvane, its great to be able to use sheet-to-tiller as well.

For Liszt or Brahms, 'Hungarian' music wasn't the songs and dances of the peasantry, but the cosmopolitan music that had been developed by gypsy violinists and entertainers: the pseudo-folk verbunkos style, which amalgamated features from various traditions (nineteenth-century courtship and recruiting dances, for instance), its characteristic measure being the fiery or sentimental csárdás. Bartók and Kodály, as professional ethnomusicologists, uncovered the older, more authentic Hungarian folk music by going into the countryside with a phonograph and recording the actual melodies people sang and danced to. It was a discovery of enormous significance—the recovery of a national heritage, a national identity, just when Hungary was seeking liberty from the dying Austrian Empire.
In 1906, the year they published their first joint collection of Hungarian folksongs, Kodály composed his graduation piece from the Budapest Academy of Music: the orchestral poem Summer Evening, already infused with the modal melodies, the florid arabesques and characteristic rhythms of Hungarian folk music. This lush, delicately evocative nature-impression is a symphonic poem comparable to early orchestral works of Dohnányi or the more contemplative movements of Bartók's contemporary orchestral suites. But rather than pursuing orchestral music after Summer Evening Kodály—after a decisive encounter with the music of Debussy and appointment as professor of composition at the Budapest Royal Academy—took an entirely different path, with an astonishing succession of chamber works for string instruments which focused his creative energies for over a decade. Through them he became a mature artist. All are conceived on a heroic scale; all push the techniques of their chosen instruments to the limit. In abstract forms—quartet, sonata, duo—they show a unique and original fusion of classical formal principles with the new harmonic and melodic resources Kodály and Bartók had assimilated on their folksong-collecting expeditions.

Ische Library Closed – September 20th
University Facilities sent out the following email at 1:30 pm today:
On Saturday, September 20th, from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM, there will be a complete air conditioning outage in the Allied Health/Nursing Building, Clinical Sciences Research Building, Lions/LSU Clinics Building, Medical Education Building and the Resource Center Building. With the exception of the Animal Care spaces, there will not be any air conditioning anywhere in these buildings during this outage. Walk-in coolers will not be affected but limited access to any refrigeration units is recommended due to higher indoor air temperatures. This outage is necessary for a contractor to replace a large failing chilled water isolation valve in the Central Plant. This valve must be replaced as soon as possible. Further delay may result in total failure and an extended loss of air conditioning during regular weekday hours.
Because of the a/c shutdown both the Isché Library and the Library Commons will be closed on Saturday.
The Isché Library will reopen at 1:30 pm on Sunday, September 21st.

ONTARIO, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon authorities say they have a name and sketchy background information about a man who fatally shot himself after a bank robbery, and they're appealing for help to find his relatives.
Oregon State Police said Monday the man was 71-year-old as Joseph Thomas Johnston, reported living most recently in a Mohave Valley, Ariz., mobile home park.
The police said he drove to the Pacific Northwest in March to see a friend named "Paul" who was reported ill.
Police said Johnston shot himself after he was pulled over by an officer investigating a robbery April 10 at Bank of the West in Ontario, Ore.
Johnston is described as diabetic and having unspecified ties in several states: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Montana, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Ohio, Maryland, and Florida.
Contact information for Oregon State Police Detective Javier Marquez: 541-889-6469, ext. 752; firstname.lastname@example.com.

very useful collection of information on the X Pro 1
Toronto. City of Scott Pilgrim, craft beer, trams, music and skyscrapers. But was it going to be a city prime for street photography? Or one where the hapless Brit with a Fuji camera get the ever-loving crap beaten out of him? In planning my photography expedition to the rust-belt town of Bradford, PA, it seemed odd to me that the cheapest way of getting there wasn't to fly to Pittsburgh and coach it up but instead to fly over to Toronto in Canada and catch the Greyhound over the border. Once in Buffalo, it was simply a ninety mile road trip south. Not that I was complaining about getting the chance to see Toronto. I'd been a little in awe of it ever since that wonderful film Scott Pilgrim. It's a big city and getting bigger, and if you go and catch a film set in New York, chances are its actually filmed in Toronto. But I didn't have long there; a mere few days to hang out with a friend, drink some fine beer and go walking the streets, taking pictures. Unfortunately visiting Toronto didn't turn out as pleasant as I hoped. Indeed, it was there that photography, for the first time, got me a nasty beating...

The arthropathy of Sjögren's syndrome.
ABSTRACT The clinical course of 48 patients with primary SS has been reviewed with particular reference to the articular manifestations. The incidence of arthritis and/or arthralgia was 54%. In a third of these patients it was a presenting feature and preceded sicca symptoms. The arthropathy tended to be polyarticular, the most frequent joint involved being the knee. It was symmetrical in 55% of cases. Joint symptoms or signs were intermittent, lasting less than a month in 55% of cases. The acute onset of purpuric vasculitis was associated with an acute arthritis in four out of the nine patients with such a vasculitis. Joint deformity was unusual, ulnar deviation occurring in only six patients. Hand X-rays obtained from primary SS patients revealed evidence of joint erosions in 33% of PIP joints, 27% of MCP joints and 12% of wrist joints.

ABSTRACT: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by chronic inflammation of exocrine glands that results in development of xerostomia and keratoconjunctivitis sicca. The disease activity of SS is not restricted to exocrine glands, and many other organs and organ systems can be involved. Diagnosis of SS in the elderly population can be challenging because xerostomia, dry eyes, symptoms of fatigue, weight loss and muscle pain are also common features of old age. Delay between clinical onset and diagnosis of SS in the elderly may be due to the shared features of SS and old age. The 2002 revised American-European Consensus Group (AECG) classification criteria for SS are the preferred tool used to confirm diagnosis of SS, but recently alternative criteria have been put forward by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). The AECG criteria set combines subjective symptoms of dry eyes and dry mouth with objective signs of keratoconjunctivitis sicca, salivary gland dysfunction and histopathological (salivary gland biopsy) and serological (autoantibodies against SSA/Ro and SSB/La antigens) features. Treatment of SS in the elderly does not differ from that in younger patients. The aims of the treatment of SS are to control glandular and extraglandular manifestations, to prevent damage to organ systems and loss of function, and to decrease morbidity and mortality. Treatment of the elderly can be complicated by co-morbidities, an increased rate of adverse events related to therapeutic agents, and polypharmacy. Therefore, careful follow-up of the treatment is required.Drugs & Aging 01/2013; · 2.50 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Recombinant supercharged polypeptides (SUPs) with low cytotoxicity are developed and applied to rejuvenate the lubrication of naturally occurring salivary conditioning films (SCFs). SUPs with 72 positive charges adsorbed and rigidified the SCFs and recruited mucins to form a hydrated layer. These SCFs with SUPs have higher mechanical strength and sustain lubricating effect for longer duration compared with only SCFs.Advanced Materials 05/2013; · 14.83 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Elevated levels of liver enzymes in patients with rheumatic symptoms require a comprehensive differential diagnostic thought process. On the one hand there can be hepatic involvement of primarily rheumatological diseases but this is quite rare. Drug-induced liver injury by antirheumatic medication is more frequent. On the other hand arthralgia can be a sign of primary hepatopathy whereby hemochromatosis and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are typical examples. Furthermore, some liver diseases are associated with rheumatological diseases, such as primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and chronic hepatitis C infection (HCV). Only an exact diagnosis will lead to specific treatment which will improve the symptoms and course of disease.Der Internist 03/2013; · 0.33 Impact Factor

Already no stranger to controversy, Mike Tyson is stirring the pot once again.
Look, it's early, which usually means a lack of big games. But that doesn't mean we can't still have some fun this weekend. Here are the big questions going into Week 3:
One game into the new NFL season and you already feel like your team will miss the playoffs? That's a sign of a tortured fan, and here are the results of a new study on the most sports tortured cities in America.
Another full slate of games are on tap for football fans this week, but only a few are marquee matchups. Here's what you need to know heading into Week 2.
Los Angeles Lakers guard Jeremy Lin may be a good basketball player, but he's an even better joker.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell continues to stand by his claim no one from the league saw the video of Ray Rice hitting his then-fiancee, Janay Palmer (now his wife, Janay Rice).
It's a far, far cry from the drama surrounding Ray Rice, but another NFL running back is having his own issues.
The Ray Rice controversy is the hot button issue of the moment, not just in the sports world, but in the American consciousness.
Unless you have been living under a rock the last 24 hours, you have probably heard by now that the Baltimore Ravens terminated Ray Rice's contract and the NFL suspended him indefinitely after TMZ released the video of Rice punching his wife in the face in a casino elevator back in February.

NEW YORK, June 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NPS Pharmaceuticals" or the "Company") (NPSP) (ISIN:US62936P1030) (CUSIP:62936P103) concerning the proposed acquisition of NPS Pharmaceuticals by Shire Plc.
NPS Pharmaceuticals shareholders seeking more information about this acquisition are advised to contact Robert Willoughby at firstname.lastname@example.com or 212-661-1100 or 888-476-6529, ext. 237.
The investigation concerns whether the NPS Pharmaceuticals directors are breaching their fiduciary duties by failing to adequately shop the Company and maximize shareholder value. Under the terms of the agreement, each share of NPS Pharmaceuticals will be exchanged for $40 in cash. However, the Price to Revenue and Book Value multiples are below comparable transactions' averages, and at least one Analyst set target price of $44 per NPS Pharmaceuticals share.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Florida, and San Diego, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, the Pomerantz LLP pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 75 years later, the Pomerantz LLP continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of defrauded investors. See www.pomerantzlaw.com.

I need to get my 20lb Co2 tanks gas lines plumbed into my Sanyo 4912.
The local hardware store had clear vinyl tubing that said it could be used for gas and had a working pressure of 55psi. Any reason to not use it? My current lines are red PVC from Midwest but only ~4ft each.
FWIW: I'm planning on running the two lines up through the drain hole on the rear shelf, if I was able to drill the upper right back corner of the fridge I could probably use my current lines but I haven't seen anyone else do this yet...
as long as its downstream from all regulators you might be okay. make sure it woven reinforced as well

Before Shop-Eat-Surf, there were two sites I paid for premium content on. One is Surfline, the other is the Wall Street Journal. One is about all things surf, the other, the best business content site in the world. Shop-eat-surf is the intersection of those two worlds. Shop-Eat-Surf provides everything from coverage of events, people, brands and trends. However, beyond the Executive Edition "wall" is more meaty analysis and interpretation of financial statements, business models and brand philosophies; why certain brands and companies are succeeding, where others aren't. The Executive Edition is a must have read if the business of surf and action sports are on your radar screen.- By Jeff Berg, Co-owner, Surfline
It is common knowledge in our industry that there is one undisputed leader in reporting on the topics, businesses and trends that impact all of us the most, and it is shop-eat-surf.com. Their access to those who make our industry happen is second to none, and we value not only the content of their reporting but the editorial thought on what it all means both in the present as well as the future. If we were asked to give a rating, it would be five out of five stars.- By Craig Levra, CEO, Sport Chalet

Details on Industry Insight.
Talk of change was once again in the air during PacSun's second quarter earnings conference call with analysts Thursday afternoon. The call marked the first under the tenure of Gary Schoenfeld who took over from Sally Frame Kasak as President & CEO in June.
Gary spent a large portion of time during his prepared comments and Q&A explaining the need for PSUN to reclaim its brand identity and cache amongst teens.
Key Takeaways
After many strategic changes during Sally Frame Kasak's tenure, PSUN appears to be finding its strategic footing.
Gary Schoenfeld, the company's new President & CEO, used the company's second quarter earnings conference call to convey that the company needs to reclaim its image and heritage as a West Coast, surf/skate inspired teen retailer. He believes that much of the retailer's lost cache amongst teens can be reclaimed with sharper focus moving forward. Among other things, the company aims to facilitate this by reestablishing partnerships with core action sports brands, tweaking its assortments (including more footwear) and improving the shopping experience within its stores.
The company repeatedly identified the need to reestablish partnerships with core action sports brands.
Gary consistently noted the need for better partnerships with the industry's core, heritage brands and tone and tenor of such comments alluded to the need for more collaborative working relationships. For instance, he noted that PacSun can improve its co-marketing efforts with brands, noting the retailer has avoided sponsoring the Van's Warped Tour in the past much to the chagrin of many of its vendors which have.
The company will tweak its approach to merchandising.
The company reiterated its commitment to balancing assortments between core brands and private label merchandise within stores and noted that it does not expect a material change to the current mix. That being said, it also noted that it would like to layer in a greater amount of life-style, fashion and iconic brands such as Levi's and Nike, which will help broaden the appeal of the overall store concept.
The company will once again tweak its approach to footwear merchandising noting that the decision to exit the category in April 2008 has created a competitive disadvantage. Gary noted that footwear is core to PacSun's heritage and that the retailer will look to once again add a greater number of footwear SKUs in its stores. The company will not have an entire wall dedicated to the category like it did in the past, will not be as deep as it once was in skate footwear and selections will likely extend beyond just skate. PacSun currently carries roughly 12 footwear SKUs in 200 locations from only a handful of vendors.
Value format stores remain somewhat of a work in progress.
The company noted that it has 300 value locations excluding outlets. It believes it can improve the merchandise assortment in these locations as it works to better understand the differences in core vs. value store shopping dynamics. At this point it appears as if the company has yet to optimize the assortment and differentiation in its value stores relative to its core stores.
More focus will be placed on the in-store experience.
The company faulted its stores for historically lacking a sales oriented culture. More emphasis will be placed on achieving this with store associate training. The company also noted the opportunity to improve in-store marketing efforts and to improve the overall in-store customer experience.
Improving fundamentals are still a long way away as indicated in the company's third quarter outlook.
The company expects third quarter same store sales to decline in the high teens to low 20 percent range and expects to generate a loss of $0.16-$0.23 per share, which includes a $10 million pre-tax store asset impairment charge.
Second Results
Total Sales:
· -22% to $243 million including a 24% decline in same-store sales
· Apparel sales declined by 19% and non-apparel sales declined by 45%
· Weakness within apparel was driven by spring categories including shorts, swim and dresses
· Sales of both men's and junior's declined by 24%
· Denim remains a strong overall trend within the stores
Gross Margins:
· 23.8% or -6.7% vs. 30.5% last year
· Lower merchandise margins accounted for 2.2% of the 6.7% decline in gross margins last year due to increased markdowns
Balance Sheet
· $26 million in cash and no borrowing based debt
· -23% on a square foot basis vs. last year with 85% aged 90 days or le
