Dwight Howard scored 28 points, Kobe Bryant had 15 points and eight assists, and the host Los Angeles Lakers finally got their first victory of the season, 108-79 over the winless Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.
Metta World Peace scored 18 points and Pau Gasol added 14 for the Lakers, who went 0-8 in the preseason and started the regular season 0-3 for just the fourth time in franchise history despite adding Howard and Steve Nash over the summer.
The Lakers' growing worries about their new offense and their roster's durability vanished for a day against the struggling Pistons, who never led.
Jonas Jerebko scored 18 points for Detroit.
Los Angeles took a 28-point lead in the first half and stretched it to 36 in the third quarter, with Howard dominating the paint and Bryant slipping easily into a playmaking role in the injured Nash's absence. Nash missed his second straight game with a small fracture in his left leg.
Los Angeles hadn't started a season 0-3 since 1978. That team won 15 of its next 16 games.
Hawks 104, Thunder 95: Al Horford had 23 points and 12 rebounds, Lou Williams added 10 of his 19 points during Atlanta's decisive fourth-quarter surge, and the Hawks beat host Oklahoma City.
Atlanta won despite playing without starting forward Josh Smith, who has a sprained right ankle.
Kevin Martin scored 28 points off the bench to lead the Thunder and Kevin Durant chipped in 22 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists.
Magic 115, Suns 94: J.J. Redick scored 24 points, and Arron Afflalo and Glen Davis had 22 each as host Orlando defeated Phoenix.
Luis Scola paced the Suns with 24 points and Michael Beasley added 22.
The Magic won without point guard Jameer Nelson and small forward Hedo Turkoglu. Turkoglu has a broken bone in his left hand. Nelson has a strained hamstring and groin and sprained ankle.
Knicks 100, 76ers 84: Carmelo Anthony scored 27 points to carry host New York past Philadelphia.
Jrue Holiday had 27 points for the 76ers.
Raptors 105, Timberwolves 86: Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan each scored 22 points to help host Toronto beat Minnesota.

Aug. 2, 2007
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the fourth in a series of diary entries by Notre Dame rising sophomore guard Melissa Lechlitner during her first stint with a USA Basketball team, playing for the U.S. U19 World Championship Team. In this latest installment, Lech talks about getting in a regular rhythm with the national team and taking a little time to enjoy the sights. Full recaps on the Americans' most recent games are linked within the diary entry).
Friday July 27th
One of the things you get used to as a college student-athlete is the daily routine. Get up in the morning, grab something to eat, go to class, stop off for lunch, get your lifting in, head to practice and then dinner and studying. It's a pretty regular thing for us, especially once our preseason practices start going in October.
It's kind of the same way for Team USA here in Slovakia. Because we're playing so many games in just a few days, there hasn't been a lot of time for us to get out and see the sights. We're pretty much limited to staying in an around the hotel to stay focused for our games. For example, today began the same as it always does with breakfast in our hotel. Our shoot-around was at 9 and then we had our pre-game meal at noon. Every day, they have pasta, potatoes, rice, and either fish or some type of chicken. We take a lot of risks and try almost everything, but I've got to admit it's not what we are used to. Then again, I guess that's part of the reason we're here -- to learn how to adjust to unfamiliar surroundings and experiences. But did I forget to mention that whatever they serve for lunch is what they plan on serving for dinner? Even though most of us like the familiar routine of it all, it does get monotonous and we are craving for something other than carbohydrates!
Today, our game was against China at 3:40 in the afternoon. This was a big test for us going into the game because China was supposed to be a really tough team. We went into the game very focused and played well. We didn't have any trouble with them and won by a lot. After the game we had dinner and then went back to the gym to watch Serbia play the Czech Republic. After a quick run to the store for some cookies and candy (yeah!), we headed back to our hotel for the night.
Saturday July 28th
Another game day for us, so pretty much the same schedule as yesterday. The only thing that we changed up was after pre-game meal instead of watching "Jersey Girl", we watched "I-Robot" with Will Smith. After our movie, it was time to play Lithuania. The game was not that close once again. However, our next games should be getting more and more competitive as we get further along in the tournament. After the game, we talked Coach Bruno into letting us extend our curfew so we could have a movie night. Unfortunately we picked "Mr. Brooks" for our movie. It was not good at all and we were all yelling with disappointment when the movie finally ended. Then it was off to bed.
Sunday July 29th
Today was our "day off" and we were all really excited to get out of the hotel for a change of scenery. We still woke up at 9:30 and had breakfast like always, but after breakfast, we left to tour the downtown area. Since we haven't had much time to look around so far, and I didn't know anything about Slovakia before we got here, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was actually very surprised at how nice it was. We took a trolley around the city with the Australian team and had a tour guide tell us all about Bratislava. We also went to a few souvenir shops and some small stands around town while we were touring. For lunch, we went to a little cafe in town, sat outside and enjoyed the food, which was amazing! We were so excited just to get something other than pasta, and it turned out to be delicious. After lunch, we hopped on our bus to head back to the hotel to get ready for practice. We had a pretty light practice and then it was back to our normal schedule of dinner and then bed, since we're starting the second round tomorrow.
Monday and Tuesday, July 30th and 31st
Okay, I'm just going to apologize for these two journal entries. I combined them because they were the exact same day, and they were both kind of dull. We had breakfast and then a shoot-around. Then it was back to the hotel for film session, and then a snack. After snack, we have a lot of time to relax so most of us will take a nap and some of the girls will get on the Internet or watch a movie. Personally, I always opt for a nap! On Monday we played South Korea, and the game wasn't that close, but Tuesday was definitely a different story. We played Spain for the second time. We beat them by 9 in the Canary Islands and they were out for a little revenge. The game was back and forth and at the end of three quarters, it was still tied. Finally we pulled away in the last few minutes of the game and ended up winning by 8. It was a really good game, and a really good win for our team.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: The United States closed out second-round play with an 84-60 win over Slovakia on Wednesday. Full coverage of that game, as well as the China game, can be found by clicking here and then clicking the links below the TV screen -- Windows Media Player is required to view the games).

Action 4 Investigates: Fixing The Broken Arizona Border
Thu, 27 May 2010 05:14:50 GMT —
The orange, purple rays from the sun begin to set over the hills of the Sonoran Desert. Though it is reminiscent of the Rio Grande Valley's Starr County, a combination of saguaro cacti and mesquites trees are native to Santa Cruz County, the heart of the Arizona-Sonora border. There you TMll find Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office deputies Jose Bustamante and Luis Martinez. That night, their patrol takes them to Buena Vista Ranch, a place so desolate and dangerous, that they are required to patrol it in pairs, and where bulletproof vests are mandatory. "One thing that's really helping us out is this barrier fence you see right behind me here, which stops these people, illegals," Martinez said. He has worked for the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office for over a decade.
Since then, human and drug smuggling have become such a major problem that stronger, impenetrable fencing has started to replace the old one. Throughout many miles of the Arizona boundary, large, horizontal steel beams supported by X-like structures.
They are vehicle barriers, set about 10 feet apart.
But for a person walking, the challenge of crossing it does not exist. It is as simple as walking under the horizontal beam.
And in yet more remote areas, barbed wire makes up the international border.
Given the ease it takes to cross them, Federal and local agencies must then rely on manpower to help protect the line.
"For us it TMs difficult, almost impossible to be able to do that, Santa Cruz County Sheriff Tony Estrada told Action 4 News. We can have some impact, but very little impact, on what happens in the rural areas."
The longtime sheriff himself admits the problem has gotten out of hand. He leads over 40 deputies in his deparment, but he said they are constantly overwhelmed.
"We TMre finding bodies, people are getting killed, people are getting assaulted, people are getting raped he said. There a lot of things that are happening, people are just dying from the weather." He added that cooperation between his deputies and agencies like Border Patrol are smooth and at an all time high. But he claims it is not enough. "We TMre trying to keep up pace with other agencies that have a lot more technology, a lot more training and resources," he said. Relief for them is under way: A new, 10 million dollar initiative announced by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer last month.
The Border Security Enhancement Program uses federal stimulus money to help out agencies, like Santa Cruz County, to help safeguard Arizona's 370 mile border with Mexico. They plan on using the money to purchase new units, weapons, ammunition and even radios to help them stay better connected. Back out on the field, surrounded by the darkness of the Sonoran Desert, Deputies Bustamante and Martinez finish up their patrol of the area. It is another day on the job, as they try to patch up a broken border. Meanwhile, Sheriff Estrada will continue to do work, as he has done for many decades, to keep Santa Cruz County safe. He states he is against the controversial immigration bill signed into law last month, adding that Senate Bill 1070 is not the solution, but instead it creates more complications for them. As far as the arrival of National Guard troops, he welcomes any additional manpower that'll help take the strain off of his department.

Excellent room for the price
The check in was quick, easy and the staff were very efficient.
The room was large, clean and had an ensuite bathroom. Although it was November the room was warm and comfortable. The shower gel was non existent but that was the only complaint. Although the bars were bust outside the thick curtains hid most of the light and noise. All in all a pleasant stay. I will be returning.

File/Folder View problem / ?
I got a new computer with intel i7 chip and windows 7.
I had all of my music/photos/files backed up on a 2TB external harddrive.
I copied all of the files from the backup to the new computer harddrive.
Here's where it gets strange.
I have over 6000 songs that were kept in one folder each with the band name and track title.
On the new computer under my music every song (mp3 file) is in a folder for each specific album and another for each specific band which creates a lot of folders to dig through.
How can I get all of the songs to display as before (all of the songs in one folder and not folders within folders?
Thank you,

Hello Steve,
You might include the main folder that all the music is in into say the Music library. Then you could set the Music library to this below to see if that may work for you.
Arrange by -> Song (or what you like)
Sort by -> Name
Group by -> (none) (if displayed). If not, then leave all unchecked in Group by.
Hope this helps,

I was recently awarded my Teaching Ministry Certificate from Sarasota Bible College. More than the accomplishment of earning it, I am grateful for the education that I have been through. Now, instead of being a student of the organization, I am an Instructor of Biblical and Ministerial Studies. This means that I have the opportunity to sow into other people's lives as many have sowed into mine.
So on the day that I was awarded my certificate, I was also asked to share a short "5 minute" message about the Bible College. I thought that it would be appropriate to do a sort of character study on the life of Paul. Many people are not aware of this, but even though Paul was a very educated man, he still spent about three years after his conversion experience likely studying the (Old Testement) Scriptures and getting some New Testament revelation from Jesus. Check out this video of the study that I shared…
I challenge you just as I did my audience that day. What are you doing with your time after conversion (your time in Arabia)? How are you ensuring that your life has every bit of impact on the world around you that God created you to have?

The U.S. Labor Department on Monday said it hasn't made a decision yet on whether to delay Friday's October jobs report, the final reading on the labor market before next week's federal elections. A Labor official said the agency will assess the schedule for all its data releases this week when the "weather emergency" is over. Labor is scheduled to release the employment report on Friday, third quarter employment costs on Wednesday and weekly jobless claims on Thursday. The U.S. Census Bureau also said it hasn't made a decision on whether to delay economic reports it plans to release this week, including construction spending on Thursday and factory orders on Friday.
Ah yes, the "weather emergency." Look, the majority of the Townhall editorial team will be affected by this storm. We're bracing for power outages and other major disruptions, so the seriousness of the situation is not lost on us. Indeed, the Romney campaign just announced that they are postponing or canceling two rallies tonight, and all campaign events tomorrow, "out of sensitivity for the millions of Americans in the path of Hurricane Sandy." I can understand the decision to avoid the optics of stumping for election while millions of citizens are in peril, but I'm blown away that the Department of Labor is considering using the severe weather as a handy excuse to push off its final pre-election unemployment report until after November 6th. The Journal's write up suggests that this move would be a judgment call rather than a necessity. Unless and until overwhelming evidence is produced that this course of action is absolutely unavoidable, Labor's potential shift should be viewed as an unacceptable, abjectly political maneuver. It doesn't take a conspiratorial mind to imagine that the executive branch may have a political interest in pushing back the release of data that may prove....unhelpful to their boss:
George Stephanopoulos asked former Obama administration economist Austan Goolsbee about the political impact of the jobs report coming up this Friday, just four days before most voters cast their ballots. Goolsbee notes that only "unbelievable outliers … crack through the shell" of the electorate's consciousness for a single-month's report. Goolsbee then admits that last month's jobs report was "artificially too optimistic" — an "unbelievable outlier," in other words. So why admit that now? Well, that "unbelievable outlier" is likely to get corrected in this month's household survey, and that will drive the jobless rate up.
In short, Team Obama is already circling the wagons to lower expectations for what could be a damaging jobs report -- a fate they've feared for some time. Wouldn't it be "convenient" if the wind and heavy rains washed this information away for a few days? Parting quotation: "Never let a serious crisis go to waste."

In the middle are the Racer X sports ribs, resplendent with targa bars and colourful decals. There are also Aquila coach's boats and both of these are expanding categories. Naturally, most will end up at our point of origination for their beginning of a seaborne life.
Currently occupying top spot at the dichotomous end from the Prop Guards, is the Hudson Hakes 42 racer. This Judel Vrolijk penned gem is part of the new breed of 40 footers or thereabouts that have hit the market to cover their own spectrum or more likely scatter graph as they offer differing suitabilities in categories like One Design, IRC, HPR, day racer, inshore and offshore with professional or club based crews.
Racer X Marine's founder, Dave Eickmeyer, commented, 'Prop Guards have certainly doubled since we starting distributing this brand in Australia and New Zealand two years ago. Perhaps it is their distinctive design and colours, but the Royal Australian Navy, various protective and maritime services have certainly taken to them. Without doubt however, Queensland leads the way in requiring commercial vessels to have a prop guard. It would be good for the rest of Australia to follow.'
'A lot of Prop Guards get sent to the Northern Territory and Far North Queensland for service in the aquaculture and tourism industries. As it turns out, the most popular of the Prop Guard range is our red one and used on 100Hp outboards, which is for craft like a 17' RIB. All yacht clubs run 40-60Hp, which is the blue 13' variant and below that there is the yellow one for smaller engines.'
'The red, 15' Prop Guard suits 70 to say 150Hp and then there's 150 to 350Hp in 14' and 16' versions which are found on craft for use in commercial pearling, diving and aquaculture. These include traditional stern drives, Volvo contra-rotating screws and the normal Volvo Penta sterndrive with its exhaust being emitted from the cavitation plate. We have a special clamp for this type of mount, as normally our Prop Guards get bolted directly through this area', said Eickmeyer.
Whilst talking about installation, Eickmeyer was very quick to add, 'Correct installation is marked on the packaging and there is a also an instruction sheet supplied with the product as well. In essence, the smaller diameter ring leads into the water and the larger diameter ring circumnavigates to propeller arc. I have seen one mounted the wrong way on a yacht tender, so please ensure the little circle leads!'
'As Prop Guards are made from polypropylene, there are no rust or corrosion issues and there are also no moving parts, hydraulics or electrics for the water to attack. Prop Guards are very simple to install and should take you less than 20 minutes to fit onto your outboard. You'll just need a few basic tools to prepare the outboard and affix the nine bolts that are all supplied in the kit. Prop Guards are not expensive and bolt on solidly. All Prop Guards have a distinct bright colour for a better understanding of exactly where the propeller is.'
'Safety is a key concern and in these litigious times, fitting a Prop Guard also makes great sense, whether you're coaching around kids or operating a tourist or diving craft. Just one little mistake and you could end up with a hand, foot or a body being drawn in to the propeller. Apart from preserving life, you could potentially avoid substantial fines. The last two Olympic regattas have certainly set the precedent. It was mandatory for all coach, media boats and race officials' boats to have Prop Guards fitted.'
The RIB has well and truly found markets to dominate in. Racer X Marine has its own range of small tenders and Sport Boat style RIBS for the family or ski/wakeboard enthusiast. They're as popular on the water as SUVs are on the road. From 2.2 and on to 8m, the Racer X RIBs can be optioned with features like stainless steel or fibreglass targa bars, comfy seats, PVC or the more durable Hyperlon tubes, anchor rollers and various deckboards, so as to ensure you look and feel the part, too. Price is an important element in any purchase decision, but so too is quality and it is with this mix in mind that you'll find the Racer X RIBs somewhat compelling.
Racer X Marine is also an agent for Heidi and Justin Lambert's highly regarded Australian brand, Aquila. Aquila has built a loyal following and enviable reputation for good design, inherent build quality, warranty and service, as well as price competitiveness for its yacht tenders, utility craft and coach's vessels.
Of particular note is the last category and Aquila's new FX 580. Not only is it cheaper than the market leader, it offers a healthy LWL, the de rigueur plumb bow, easy planing and a dry(ish) ride for its 10 PoB or 1400kg payload. There is an expansive non-skid deck area, pop-up cleats, bow plate, lifting points and continuous rubbing strake, all as standard fitment. Add your choice of up to 135Hp and this centre console workhorse is fully set to get busy doing a variety of tasks from coaching to diving and laying marks.
Aquila manufacture RIBs from 2.2m to 5.8m and all are built to last with Hyperlon tubes. You can choose your type of console, as well as bolster or straddle seats and the smaller boats all have options like Inflatable floors, aluminium boards or fibreglass hulls. 'We can perform a full fit out with trailer and engine all ready to go, or you can purchase a bare boat and do it yourself. Please see racerxmarine.com.au for information and pictures of our craft', said Eickmeyer.
Forty is the new fifty and why shouldn't it be when you look at items like less expensive pen fees and sails at around half the cost, along with fewer crew needed to operate them. Less dollars and similar fun seems to working for many an owner these days.
Into this very space have already arrived, or soon to appear, craft such as the HH42, MC38, Archambault's A13, Carkeek 40, Ker 40 and the Botin 40. 'Some are inshore oriented, others perform at their best with an AC type crew on board, some chase a good IRC rating and others went after the High Performance Rule in the USA. In a way, the HH is in the middle of the spectrum. They're up to Hull #6, with Simply Fun being #3 and the only one in Australia so far, but there are two or three potential skippers talking about this craft', said Eickmeyer.
Simply Fun's owner is Yachting Australia Board Member, Phil Coombs. He said, 'I had been looking for a new yacht for some time and asked Dave Eickmeyer to help me. My specification was for a yacht that embraced latest technology. One where you came off the water with a smile, no matter what the results showed. Clearly it was about getting some fun back into sailing, so a planning hull that was a full on racer, not cruiser/racer, IRC designed with real offshore capabilities and a vessel I could sail with mates is what we are really talking about.'
'We looked at many yachts and Dave found the Hudson Hakes 42, which certainly fitted my criteria. She was so named to serve as an aide memoire to the purchase criteria and it also fits with my business name, which is Simply Business.'
'The boat has exceeded my expectations and is capable of winning, as we already have proven both inshore or offshore and in light or heavy weather. The HH42 is an awesome all-round yacht.'
Coombs went on to add, 'Dave's efforts and support has been beyond reasonable expectations and the project would not have been such a success without Dave's personal efforts. I would highly recommend the yacht and Dave as an agent to anyone wanting an awesome yacht and looking to get some fun back into their sailing.'
'As Coombsy has said, smile on dial was the determining factor and we will beat the Beneteau 40s under IRC rating soon enough. There is a lot of performance still to be extracted from the boat. We will have even better results to come in back half of year as a result of our big learning curve, which will set us in good stead for the 70th Hobart. It has been a terrific opportunity to take on the assisting selling the HH42 here in Australia and I went to the factory to commission Simply Fun', said Eickmeyer.
But wait. There's more….
No. Not the steak knives, but there are hot knives on offer!
Now it is true that there are also items such as snap shackles, ropes and cordage, furlers, iPhone covers, EPIRBs, apparel, instruments and sail repair kits dotted about Racer X's offerings across 10 categories.
'We are going to continue with innovation at Racer X Marine, so we not only have our work to do, but also tremendous potential to keep us motivated. Look for more things to drop into spots along the Racer X spectrum as time rolls along, also. Today, the Internet is all about offering a cheaper price, so long as you don't need it right now and we're certainly sticking to that theory.'
'The perfect entrée for Racer X Marine is the person who comes in to buy a sail every few years and then sees all of the other items on offer. For all the other potential customers, we'll have to ensure that our website offers a compelling story and rewarding shopping experience', Eickmeyer concluded with.
See www.racerxmarine.com.au or call Dave on 0418 336 820 if you want to talk volume, fun or even cool to fill a spot on your own spectrum.

New plan increases player scrutiny
English football players could be about to come under increasing scrutiny with The Telegraph reporting a new retrospective action scheme is about to be launched.
A meeting of a number of stakeholders in the game, including the Football Association, Premier League, Football League, Professional Footballers' Association, League Managers Association and Professional Game Match Officials Ltd, led to the agreement to expand retrospective action to include certain incidents missed by match officials.
And rather than relying on the referee using video footage to decide on whether any further action needs to be taken, the stakeholders have decided a panel of former officials should be created to make those calls.
However, the new plan still needs approval from the Football Regulatory Authority before it can be introduced.
The new measures follow a number of incidents in this season's Premier League which attracted their fair share of criticism.
The most notable was Wigan winger Callum McManaman's ugly challenge on Newcastle defender Massadio Haïdara, while the coming together of Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero and Chelsea defender David Luiz in the FA Cup semi-final also caught the attention.

LTUSD schools strengthen security
December 18, 2012
Tahoe Valley Elementary School fifth-grade teacher Irene Kaelin asked her group of 30 students Monday to raise their hands if they'd heard about what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut last week. Twenty-nine hands shot up. All but four of those students had already talked to their parents about the shooting, and Kaelin said she recommend that the others do the same while also limiting their television exposure. "We just talked about it for a few minutes, because you could talk about it all day. When I did bring it up, I was tearing up. All we can say is you're safe here, we have things in place and you need to talk to your families," Kaelin said. A couple of the students said they'd cried when they saw images of the children on television after Friday's school shooting that left 26 people dead, but Kaelin kept the discussion short and steered the class away from details. Kaelin, who teaches in a portable classroom, said she sometimes feels like a "sitting duck" with only one door and no coat closets. She's started thinking about what she would do if she was ever faced with a situation like the educators at Sandy Hook Elementary confronted last week. "I looked at all my students and thought, 'You're not my sons and daughters, but you are my kids and I would do anything for you.' I thought about it all weekend. Columbine and Virginia Tech were horrible, but being an elementary school teacher, I cannot wrap my mind around it," she said. Schools in the Lake Tahoe Unified School District have been practicing lockdown drills for years, but Superintendent James Tarwater said they've hired a consultant to review any vulnerabilities and present the findings to the school board in January. The active response management strategy will focus on refining safety measures at the schools. There are already 60 security cameras in the district, but that number might rise as LTUSD increases vigilance, particularly at the elementary schools. The district will also look at strengthening entrances by monitoring walk-ins more closely and ensuring that there's adequate fencing around the properties. Some of the changes will take place immediately while others won't happen for months or years, Tarwater said. Building a wall at Sierra House Elementary School so motorists can't see children playing from the road won't happen anytime soon, nor will installing one-way glass windows that let teachers and students see out but prevent the public from seeing in, but they're examples of new security measures that the district plans to implement. "We take this very seriously. We'll keeping evolving, but it's a fine balance. We don't want to look like a jail, but safety is our No. 1 priority," Tarwater said. For John Friedrich, who has a daughter in first-grade at the Lake Tahoe Environmental Science Magnet School, it's important not to scare the children needlessly. He hasn't broached the subject with his daughter yet, but when he does, he said he'll assure her that there are people working to keep her safe. "We feel very confident in our local schools and in our community. We're not fearful, but we'd assure her that there's lots of us working to ensure a more peaceful world," Friedrich said. Friedrich co-founded Small World — an organization dedicated to creating a global community of families committed to ensuring a peaceful world for children everywhere —to help teach children empathy and compassion. It starts at the school level, but he said he'd eventually like to see major policy changes when it comes to gun control and other acts of violence. "My perspective is that the right of children to live needs to be elevated above the right to own semi-automatic weapons," he said. Friedrich organized a candlelight vigil Saturday night out of compassion for the parents of the children killed Friday. It's important to show those people that they have supporters who are standing with them all over the world, he said. Tami Africa also doesn't want to scare her 6-year-old son. When and if he inquires about the shooting, she plans to first ask him what he fears and then reassure him. But she won't bring up the subject first. "I'm not going to tell him, and so far that seems to be the consensus among parents with kids his own age. He's not old enough to really comprehend or deal with that," Africa said.

History Writing Challenge and committed to posting 500 words a day here.
Well, obviously, if you look at my entries for this month, it's not going to
I don't know what the problem was but sometime after the first week or so
I missed a day, and then another, and another. I thought I could make it up by
doing a few multiple post days and couldn't come up with them. I'm certainly
capable of doing daily blogposts; I did it for the challenge last year, and
again in November for the NaBloWriMo event. I've been researching but
other than the stories of my cousins Gypsy and Benedict Arnold Barker I
hadn't really felt moved much to write about what I've found.
My get up and go just got up and went.
The best laid plans of mice and men, etc, etc....
I'm stepping away from the Challenge and going back to my regular blogging
routine. My goal for the year is still to surpass my blogpost total of last year
so I still have that to shoot for!

Bill, sorry to here that it didn't work out for you this year. Good luck with your blogging goal.
- Bobby Dobbins Title said...
Bill, I too thought to up my blogging days in 2012, but funny thing, I spent the whole Christmas weekend in the hospital when they did emergency surgery to remove a nasty gall-bladder. I think they took all my words with it, too!
- Kathy Reed said...
I can identify. I had done a lot of research so it was easy for me to write at the beginning of the month. But then I had written up all of my new info by mid-February. In order to write more, I would have needed to complete more research. Then came a visit to help my daughter with my newest grandson. Now a nasty cold. Oh well -- we won't quit -- just not meet our goal for February.

President's Desk Column
The energy within
April 2003Paul A. Raslavicus, MD
The movement to
reinvigorate the CAPHouse of Delegates reminds me of the law of
thermodynamics, which asserts that while energy cannot be created
or destroyed, it can be transformed. A useful corollary adds that
when energy is not directed or contained, it will spontaneously
a great deal of potential energy that awaits catalysis in the CAP
House of Delegates. Many of our colleagues within the College have,
or could assume, responsibilities in the House. But the opportunities
outnumber those who are interested: Of the 222 seats in the House,
175 are held by a delegate or delegation chair, and only 66 delegates
and alternates were seated at the House of Delegates meeting last
month. The picture was better for the fall 2002 meeting because
it was held in conjunction with the CAP annual meeting. At that
meeting, 178 of the 233 seats were held by a delegate or delegation
chair, and 115 delegates and alternates were seated. The potential
energy in our House has clearly been permitted to disperse.
This would be
less bothersome were it not so inconsistent with everything else
we do. The College enjoys the benefit of many gifted and hardworking
volunteers who participate in dozens of ways. Members donate countless
days to laboratory accreditation, to council and committee work,
and to advocacy within the AMA and in Washington. There are more
candidates for committee assignments than there are vacancies. Yet
our House of Delegates meetings are poorly attended. The meeting
agendas are all too brief. In such a vigorous organization, competition
for a seat in the House should be fierce. We should hear heated
debate, host numerous reference committees, and sort through hours
of impassioned testimony. But we don't. With the newly curtailed
House meeting schedule, reducing meeting time to less than a day,
we seem to have given up the fight.
The House of Delegates
is where the action should be, the place where new ideas percolate,
and where communication between the leadership and the grassroots
is facilitated. Membership in the House suggests creativity, credibility,
and being a leader in pathology; it should be coveted. There ought
to be a long list of members waiting their turns to become delegates.
But there's not.
The Strategic
Planning Committee that I chaired from 1999 to 2001 addressed the
untapped potential in the House. The Steering Committee of the House
thereafter discussed it formally. The Steering Committee's
document "Strategic Tactics for Revitalization" was
debated for half a day at the House meeting last month in Washington.
The proposals
presented for House debate included:
With these topics
on the House floor, the delegates clearly showed that they are by
far not moribund. There was lively debate on many issues. Some said
the model of a periodic face-to-face meeting no longer works in
a 21st century information society. Some suggested that we initiate
regional meetings to get closer to where the action is. A resolution
to establish a House of Delegates list server was passed after vigorous
discussion. Others think it is time to modify the longstanding geographic
model of representation to give voice to organizations of pathologists
that are not state oriented but instead represent other scientific
or subspecialty societies.
Some feel that
if attendance were funded to some extent, as it is for committee
work, participation would improve. Some believe the House would
be more vigorous if it had more power in defining College policy;
others point out that the House even now can establish policy, with
the concurrence of the Board.
To me it is clear
that the Board takes all the actions of the House seriously, and
it is charged to report back on its positions and the reasons for
its decisions. To ensure that the voice of the delegates is heard,
the Board has proactively caused a bylaws change that gives the
principal officers of the House, the speaker and vice speaker, full
voting rights within the Board. Our bylaws also give significant
power to the House in the elections of governors and officers whenever
the vote of the membership fails to elect an individual by absolute
majority of the votes cast.
Our entire membership
would be well served if a healthy dynamic evolved within the House
that made it an exciting place to be. In the final analysis, the
effectiveness of the House and the degree to which it affects and
effects College policy will be related directly to the vigorousness,
timeliness, and wisdom of its actions and how well it mobilizes
and represents the interests of all pathologists.
In my address
to the House I said the vigorous discussion at the meeting is a
sign that the House can be a strong voice for pathology. It can
recreate itself into a dynamic forum where strategies are honed
and tactics developed for energizing our specialty for many years
to come. The time may be near when it can transform itself into
our national "House of Pathologists."
The kinetic energy
is on the move. It is up to us, working together, to see that the
energy doesn't disperse before it is directed, and that the
ideas that come from this energy are channeled appropriately and
executed well.

Ring Runner
Derelict Dreams
Authored by E C Dryere
Cover design or artwork by Courtney A Dryere
Centuries after The Extinguishing, The Consortium has hunted free Sages to near extinction. There is no more war, only running, hiding, and hoping that The Extinguishers never find you. They have the power to fly through space unfettered by a ship and to hurl planets into stars, but few can affect life, for its Will refuses their control.
Still there are a few stubborn Sages who choose to make biology their domain. Arius is one such Sage. Over her fifty year pregnancy, she roamed The Rings like a rogue comet, causing enough cosmic mischief to keep astrocartographers busy and earning herself a place atop the universe's most-wanted list. But this isn't her story; this is the story of her son, Exterrus Rey Solipso.
On his thirteenth birthday, Ex awoke to a cold breakfast. His mother was gone, leaving only her gun and a letter. Now he lives the life of a ring runner, searching for fast money and clues as to why Arius suddenly vanished. He wasn't expecting to find either when he docked at an old bioark in the middle of a Stratum, far from the bustle and civility of The Rings, but he'll get more than he ever wanted of both.
Arius never told him about the legacy of his name, she never taught him the ways of a Sage -- not a single macro -- but the fifty years of baking time in her belly weren't for fun. If Ex can survive the dangerous blend of his own ignorance and arrogance, he will inherit his mother's place atop the universe's most-wanted list.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Cape Town, South Africa, 2010/04/29 - The beleaguered South African high voltage cables and conductors market has received a fillip with power utility Eskom launching a massive infrastructure development drive.
The $1.532 billion power plant integration and grid strengthening programmes offer a plethora of opportunities to cable manufacturers, as these plants need to be connected to the main transmission grid infrastructure.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (energy.frost.com), The High Voltage Cable and Overhead Conductor Market in South Africa, finds that the market earned revenues of $1.47 billion in 2009 and estimates this to reach $3.59 billion in 2015. The advancements in cable and conductor manufacturing materials are expected to improve efficiencies and reduce production costs significantly over the next decade.
If you are interested more information on this study, please send an email to Patrick Cairns, Corporate Communications, at patrick.cairns[.]frost.com, with your full name, company name, title, telephone number, company email address, company website, city, state and country.
"Many African countries including Botswana, Zimbabwe, Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Mauritius and Ethiopia are also embarking on developing new power generation infrastructure," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Marc Goldstein. "This all has to be integrated into the existing grid infrastructurse. Local cable manufacturers will be keen to have a share of this pie."
Market participants will also feel buoyed by the average age of equipment in the transmission network. The government will be looking to maintain the integrity of the network by regularly replacing the existing networks, most of which are 31 years old and some, more than 50 years.
Despite such active support from Eskom, local cable and conductor manufacturers are feeling the heat of the competition from low-cost imports manufactured in Brazil, China, India and Zambia and are struggling to maintain their market positions. They also have to deal with decreasing tariffs and free trade agreements (FTAs), and these market dampeners are compelling them to find novel ways to hold on to their market shares. However, their major challenges are the funding uncertainty for key end users and working capital constraints, which place added pressure on production processes and product pricing.
"Uncertainty regarding demand forecasting and illiquidity in working capital can have considerable impact on local manufacturers that hold large quantities of stock in raw materials to meet customer demand," says Goldstein. "Eskom's inability to raise adequate capital to fund their development programmes has led to festering apprehensions about future contracts."
Manufacturers have reacted to the uncertainty by imposing tighter controls over operations by reducing headcount, mothballing production facilities and investing in increasingly advanced production tolls to boost efficiency.
Apart from improving production efficiencies, cable manufacturers also have to focus on providing extensive, value-added and radical business services to key end users to stay afloat in the market.
"They will not be able to compete on price or volume due to foreign manufacturers' subsidies and manufacturing capabilities," notes Goldstein. "Developing and maintaining working relationships with end users after product delivery can help ensure that they maintain market share over the next five years."
The High Voltage Cable and Overhead Conductor Market in South Africa is part of the Energy & Power Growth Partnership Services program, which also includes research in the following markets: Sub-Saharan Africa Gas Turbine Market, Strategic Growth Plans of Power Utilities in Sub Saharan Africa, South African Metering Systems Market, and Renewable Energy Market in South Africa. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends that have been evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

Before you have a chance to play it, I'll note a couple things. It's two hours long, tops. Don't watch the trailer or read anything about it beyond what I'm writing. You'll want to go in unaware. The game seems to autosave, even though it isn't listed. The game crashed near the end, but when I loaded it up I could "continue." Finally,
So this looks very similar to Crush.
//play Crush!
That was awesome! No idea what Crush is but I loved Perspective.
Will check it out. Turns out I suck horribly at Max Payne 3 even on the easiest setting. I need something else to play for now
The way that ended was damn cool. A lot of fun was had.
This was neat! Everyone should play this one. It'll break your brain a little.
Super stoked to play this. I watched the trailer a while back and it was certainly one I wanted to dig into. Sweet.

Yeah you did.Spoiler:
Crush was the best puzzle game released for PSP, and one of the all time greats imo. It could be said that the levels got too hard or long, but they used that premise for all it was worth. It was a 3D world, and you could "crush" a plane to make the level 2D.
And almost no one played it, which makes me very very sad. Because even it's plot and aesthetic were great.
Why haven't I played this yet?

text: I purchased an app called DSLR controller and it was incredible. It enabled me to control my camera like a DREAM, and is in fact why I purchased this tablet. Now, the app no longer recognizes a DSLR camera is connected. I know the app still works, the cable is good and my Samsung dongle works. I've tried other apps that are specific to this tablet and my DSLR with the same results. I've also tried different cables and dongles as well. No damage has been done to the tablet so it's got to be a software or firmware issue. I even did a total wipe and factory reset. Did Samsung do something in the latest update to kill this functionality with the USB port? If so, how can I recover that? I bought this tab specifically to help in my work (as a photographer) and now it's no longer useful in that capacity. Please help!!!!

A VALLEYS man who armed himself with a knife, an imitation firearm and an air pistol because he feared he would be attacked was given a two-year community order.
Newport Crown Court heard Nigel Davies, 51, called police himself on March 22 after becoming worried he would be attacked by a group of drug addicts.
When officers arrived to speak to him, Davies, of Ty George Court, Tredegar, was unsteady on his feet.
Upon searching him officers found he was carrying a wooden-handled knife and a small antique muzzle-loading pistol he said had once belonged to his grandfather.
He was arrested and taken to Ystrad Mynach police station where officers also discovered he had an unloaded gat gun.
Davies admitted possesing a knife, an imitation firearm and an unloaded pistol at an earlier hearing.
Hywel Hughes, prosecuting, told the court Davies had no ammunition on him and the weapons were to be used only "for show".
Owen Williams, defending, said drug addict Davies, who had taken amphetamine on the day in question, had little recollection of what happened. He urged Judge Rhys Rowlands to consider a community sentence so Davies could address his alcohol and drug misuse.
Judge Rowlands made Davies the subject of a two-year supervision order and ordered him to take part in a 12-month drug rehabilitation order.
But he issued him with a warning about the dangers of carrying weapons.
He said: "Whatever your belief at the time, anybody that deliberately arms themselves with a knife and these firearms commits a serious offence and one that causes the general public a great deal of concern.
"You had been taking drugs and there is no knowing what you might have done with the knife had you ended up in a confrontation."

CHICAGO – Launching a car with 600-plus horsepower makes it incumbent on an auto maker to provide brakes with commensurate capability.
Vehicles capable of high velocity require brakes with mighty stopping power, or the driver might find himself on the wrong end of the adage, "You can't change physics."
The S65 AMG introduced by Mercedes-Benz USA at the Chicago Auto Show here has some of the largest-diameter brake rotors available on a production sedan.
But they are a comparatively conventional cast iron/aluminum composition – not the exotic carbon-ceramic material that markedly enhances braking power and durability.
Mercedes SLR carbon-composite brake disc.
More advanced ceramic-brake systems consist of brake discs formed from oven-baked ceramic material reinforced with strong, lightweight carbon fiber. Advantages claimed for carbon-ceramic braking systems include noticeably enhanced performance, reduced unsprung mass and markedly extended service life. (See related story: Designer Braking)
Porsche AG and Ferrari SpA are proponents of race technology-inspired carbon-ceramic braking systems that were the talk of the industry just a few years ago.
But it was Mercedes that claimed in late 2000 to be the world's first auto maker to launch carbon-ceramic brakes for a production car, the limited-edition CL55 AMG F1. None of the 55-unit run was imported to the U.S. The so-called "C-brake" rotors were fitted only on the front axle.
The new, high-powered S65 AMG would seem a natural candidate for the high-tech brakes. But Rob Allan, AMG product manager, says the car retains its relatively standard – albeit supersized – braking technology because Mercedes is not convinced carbon-ceramic brakes are right for most of its models – even the high-performance AMG versions.
Only one current-production Mercedes sports carbon-ceramic brake rotors: The hyper-exotic $450,000 Mercedes SLR McLaren.
"In our world, owners use their (AMG) cars as everyday drivers," Allan says, noting a prime customer-satisfaction issue: Unless fully warmed, the carbon-ceramic brakes tend to squeal excessively, and noisy brakes do not invoke an image of high quality.
Equally important, Allan says, carbon-ceramic brake systems remain prohibitively expensive, thanks to low production volumes and tedious "strict production methods."
He estimates the cost to outfit a car like the S65 AMG with a carbon-ceramic brake system would be $7,500-$10,000.
Ferrari offers carbon-ceramic braking systems on several models and Porsche made its Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes available for all '05 911 models. The PCCB system previously was offered only on the 911 Turbo and select special 911 variants.
AMG's Allan says, "It's only a matter of time," before carbon-ceramic brakes become a more mainstream proposition." But for now, Mercedes thinks more conventional components are the best proposition for the type of driving in which typical customers engage.

TAMPA — Kids know what they're talking about when it comes to rating their own teachers.
That's an early finding from a two-year, $45 million effort by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to videotape teachers in seven urban school districts across the country, including Hillsborough County, to find out what makes them effective.
Even before that videotaping has been completed or analyzed, the study's use of surveys suggests that students can be useful reporters on what's going on in their classrooms.
"Student perceptions are reliable, informative and predictive" of teacher effectiveness, said Thomas Kane, a Harvard University professor and deputy director of education programs at the Gates Foundation. "What we found is the students know."
In Hillsborough, around 720 teachers gave students surveys and extra tests last year, in addition to letting researchers videotape four lessons. While some of those teachers have retired or switched schools, the study is continuing this year in around 520 classes. The study is also being conducted in Memphis, Dallas, Charlotte, N.C., Denver, New York, and Pittsburgh.
Until now, teacher evaluations in such districts have generally been driven solely by a principal's visit to the classroom and have done a poor job of distinguishing between strong and weak teachers. In 2008 Hillsborough rated 99.5 percent of its teachers as satisfactory or outstanding.
This year the district has overhauled its evaluation system using a separate, $100 million grant from the Gates Foundation. Forty percent of teachers' ratings will be based on a three-year calculation of how much they contribute to each student's learning, based on test scores. The remainder will be based on evaluations by the principal and a peer evaluator.
Speaking in a conference call Friday, Kane said the national videotaping study should help researchers design teacher evaluation systems that don't rely solely on principals or test scores.
"The answer is to add in other measures to determine whether a teacher is effective," he added. "Student perceptions would help on that."
In the confidential surveys, students in the seven districts were asked whether they agreed or disagreed with statements such as: "We use time well in this class and we don't waste time," "In this class we learn a lot almost every day," and "Students in this class treat the teacher with respect."
The students ranged mostly from grades 4 through 8 and, Kane said, their responses tended to cluster in one direction or the other. In a quarter of the classrooms, around 70 percent of students said their teachers didn't waste time. But in another quarter of classrooms, less than a third of students agreed with that statement.
Classrooms that responded positively to such questions tended to do better on state tests like the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, Kane said.
And do students perform better if their teachers "teach to the test" and cram for the FCAT? Not at all.
"Those were not the classrooms that on average showed the larger student achievement gains on the state test," Kane said.
In another finding, most teachers whose students performed well on state tests did equally well on a more complex, problem-solving test the researchers gave to students.
But there was also a small group of teachers whose students performed better on the tougher test, suggesting that tests like the FCAT might not be capturing all of the things that effective teachers do in the classroom.
By videotaping 13,000 lessons last year, and a similar number this year, researchers hope to shed more light on the traits of high-performing teachers. Such information could help principals do a better job of evaluating teachers by helping them to focus on what works, Kane said.
Organizing the study in Hillsborough and gaining parent consent for children to be videotaped required a massive effort, said district project coordinator Faychone Durant.
Teachers earned a $1,500 stipend out of a $2.2 million Gates grant for volunteering.
And the Hillsborough Education Foundation used around $370,000 of that money to gather parent consent forms from each participating student. Much of that was spent to give families a $10 gift card to McDonalds or AMC movies — a small incentive to return the forms.
"We did that in Hillsborough County because we are an active consent county," Durant said, referring to district policy. "We have to have every parent's consent, yes or no."
A small number of families declined to participate, and their children were seated in a "dead zone" out of view of the camera.
For Rebecca Fedele, an eighth-grade language arts teacher at Giunta Middle School, the program has already brought benefits. Just being able to watch herself teaching has been helpful, she said.
"You kind of get to see things through the students' eyes about your teaching," she said. "While you're watching it you think, 'Oh, I didn't explain that as well as I thought I did.'"
Students were a little nervous at first, but they soon forgot about the camera and behaved normally. Some acted out, and others showed off under the extra attention.
"After the first round of it, they kind of thought, 'Okay, this isn't as exciting as I thought it would be,' " said Fedele, 29.
It is, perhaps, more exciting for their teacher, now in her sixth year. She sees a chance to help her entire profession get a little bit better and reach a few more students.
"I'm really hoping it will provide some information on what does make a teacher effective," Fedele said. "It's not just knowing the subject matter or coming in and having a relationship with kids. It's a multitude of things."

State Route 5 renamed after Utica police officer killed in line of duty
Thu, 25 Jul 2013 17:40:04 GMT —
A Central New York highway will serve as a constant memory of a Utica Police officer killed in the line of duty.
On Thursday, Governor Cuomo signed four bills that will honor four law enforcement officers who gave their lives while serving, including Utica Police officer Thomas Lindsey.
A portion of State Route 5a and State Route 5s in the City of Utica will be named Officer Thomas M. Lindsey Memorial Highway.
Officer Lindsey was a five-year veteran of the Utica Police Department. He was shot and killed during a traffic stop in 2007. Along with serving as a Utica Police Officer, Lindsey was also a member of the U.S. Marine Corps. "We commend the Governor for helping our community honor Tom Lindsey," said State Senator Joseph Griffo. "He made the ultimate sacrifice to help protect us and we want to make sure that his memory and life are ingrained into our history. Officer Lindsey will always be a hero to us."
Officer Lindsey was killed on April 12, 2007 during a traffic stop on Neilson Street in Utica. He was shot from behind. "It is only appropriate that we honor Officer Lindsey for all he did for the citizens of Utica and Oneida County during his five years as a member of the Utica Police Department with this memorial designation," said State Assemblyman Anthony Brindisi. "His courage and commitment to keeping our community safe will be remembered on a daily basis by the many people who regularly travel this road."
Welsey Molina-Cirino was convicted and sentenced in Officer Lindsey's death.

Captain Albert E. Theberge, NOAA Corps (ret.)

The United States Coast Pilots, as we know them today, have descended from the oldest of navigational documents, the peripli of the Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans. These documents described in geographic order the ports and coastal landmarks that a seafarer could expect to encounter along a given shore. Although it is claimed that the Phoenicians had written sailing directions as early as 1000 B.C., the oldest known periplus is the Periplus of Hanno the Navigator who described the coast of Africa from Morocco to the Gulf of Guinea in the Sixth Century B.C. The Greeks and Romans developed their own peripli of the Mediterranean Sea. The limits of the classical world were expanded in the second Century A.D. with the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea which described the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea as far as the Ganges River .
Following the fall of the Roman Empire, much geographic and nautical knowledge was lost until the late Thirteenth and early Fourteenth Century when sailing directions again reappeared under the names routiers (French), rutters (English and Dutch), roteiros by the Portuguese, and portolani (Italian). An early portolano for the Mediterranean Sea, Lo Compasso da Navigare, was published in Genoa in 1296. Perhaps inspired by the written sailing directions, portolan charts appeared at virtually the same time as an adjunct to the written sailing directions. Portolans were remarkable insomuch as they are among the first maps to present a rational view of a portion of the surface of the earth. They were a milestone in the road from the Dark Ages to the Renaissance. Relative to earlier maps, they were accurate in both depicting the dimensions and outlines of the coastline given the available navigational tools of the era. The earliest portolans were primarily concerned with the Mediterranean ; but, as the Age of Exploration progressed, geographic knowledge increased exponentially and soon portolan style charts covered the ever-expanding limits of the known world.
In 1584, a new type of pilot book with accompanying charts appeared. An obscure Dutchman, Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer, invented the modern nautical chart complete with depths, views of the coast as seen from offshore, aids to navigation, and significant features as seen from the sea. This pilot book with accompanying charts, Spieghel der Zeevaerdt (The Mirror of the Sea) , was revolutionary. Prior to its publication the written coast pilots were the primary aids to navigators and the portolan charts were considered supplementary information. After the publication of Waghenaer's atlas of charts, the chart and the written material of a pilot guide became of equal importance. Often they were combined with sailing directions and other information of use to mariners printed on the chart. Waghenaer was remembered for many years afterwards by inventing the term waggoner as a synonym for pilot guide.
Over the next 250 years, numerous atlases of charts with accompanying pilot books were published. Notable among them were Robert Dudley's "Sei Libri Dell' Arcano del Mare" (Six Books of the Secret of the Sea) published in 1646. For North America, the English Pilot covering Hudson's Bay to the West Indies first published in 1671; the North American Pilot featuring charts of Newfoundland and Labrador by Captain James Cook and charts by John Gascoigne for the eastern seaboard of the future United States published in 1777; the Atlantic Neptune of Joseph Des Barres, first published in the 1770's and early 1780's; and Norman's American Pilot first published in 1791 were among the various pilot guides available to the mariner. Most of these pilot guides were large publications issued in atlas format with sailing directions and other information for the mariner interspersed between charts or appearing on the charts. All of the Eighteenth Century pilot guides of the American coast listed above had one thing in common – they were published in England .
This situation changed in 1796 when Edmund M. Blunt, a bookseller and publisher who sold his wares at the "Sign of the Bible" in Newburyport, Massachusetts, published the first edition of " The American Coast Pilot." The author of this work was nominally Captain Lawrence Furlong, a prominent Massachusetts ship captain; but, in fact, Blunt was the primary author and used Furlong's name to gain credibility for his work. Blunt also had no qualms of conscience about plagiarizing parts of various English works but on the whole it was an improvement over the earlier English pilot guides. Also, Blunt produced a small format work that had no charts but instead reverted to the older method of relying completely on verbal descriptions of sailing directions, tide tables, tables of latitudes and longitudes of principal harbors and navigational landmarks, and, particularly in later editions, information such as maritime law, tariff regulations, and custom house procedures. Chartlets of various harbors and sections of the coast were also included in later editions. Almost immediately, the American Coast Pilot became one of the most popular pilot guides for use by both American and foreign seamen.
A second edition followed in 1798 that doubled in size (119 pages to 239 pages) from the first edition. Blunt also began expanding his maritime business and in 1799 published The New American Practical Navigator by Nathaniel Bowditch. Edmund March Blunt had launched himself as the premier publisher of nautical books in the United States and his publishing business would soon include the production and selling of nautical charts and the selling, manufacture, and repair of nautical instruments. By 1800 his business stood under the "Sign of the Bible and Quadrant". In 1811, following a fire that destroyed much of his establishment, Edmund March Blunt moved his business and family to New York City and began business anew under the "Sign of the Quadrant."
Ultimately, the Blunt family would produce 21 editions of The American Coast Pilot. Before doing so, a unique alliance sprung up between the Blunt publishing and nautical supply dynasty and the United States Coast Survey. Although the Coast Survey had its birth in the law of 1807 authorizing its formation, it was not until the early 1830's that it actually began conducting nautical surveys. In July, 1833, Edmund Blunt the Younger accepted a position under Ferdinand Hassler on the Coast Survey. Until his death in 1866, Edmund remained affiliated with both the Coast Survey and his family business. Following the death of Ferdinand Hassler in 1843, Alexander Dallas Bache became Superintendent of the Coast Survey and the partnership between the Coast Survey and the Blunt's blossomed. The "Sign of the Quadrant" virtually became the New York headquarters of the Coast Survey. Sailing directions obtained as part of the on-going hydrographic survey operations of the Coast Survey were incorporated into new editions of the American Coast Pilot; new editions of Coast Survey charts were sold at the Blunt establishment; and most importantly for the Coast Survey, George Blunt became a staunch political ally and represented and defended Coast Survey interests for the next quarter of a century.
During this time, the Coast Survey did not abdicate its responsibilities relative to publishing sailing directions, providing notices of dangers to navigation, and providing general pilot information to mariners sailing in United States waters. The primary means of disseminating this information was through publication in local newspapers. This method had obvious drawbacks as a means of communicating with the seafarers sailing into our harbors and along our shores. However, at least one famous instance occurred while Ferdinand Hassler was superintendent. The Gedney Channel was discovered as a result of Coast Survey work in the mid-1830's which greatly facilitated both sailing into and out of New York Harbor . This discovery was advertised in the New York newspapers and was a major factor in securing New York 's pre-eminent status as the leading seaport of the United States . Besides the newspapers, information related to sailing directions, dangers to navigation, aids to navigation, and other topics within the purview of a Coast Pilot were published in the appendices of the Annual Reports of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey for many years during the mid- to late-Nineteenth Century.
To George Davidson went the honor of producing the first Coast Pilot published under the auspices of the Coast Survey. In 1858 he refined an article that he had written for the San Francisco newspapers and published it as Appendix 44 of the Superintendent's Report for 1858. Appendix 44 was entitled "Directory of the Pacific Coast of the United States ." (See NOAA Central Library for a full discussion of the Directory of the Pacific Coast .) This document was revised and published in 1862 as Appendix 39 of the Annual Report of the Superintendent of the Coast Survey and also issued as a stand-alone publication. Subsequent to the publication of the revised version of the Directory of the Pacific Coast, the Civil War broke out and the Coast Survey made a major contribution to the efficiency of the Union blockading squadrons by issuing a series of Notes on the Coast extending from Delaware Bay to Mississippi Sound on the Gulf Coast. These notes were essentially coast pilots for the blockading squadrons.
Following the war, George W. Blunt sold the rights to the American Coast Pilot to the Coast Survey for $20,000 in 1867. In truth, the purchase of the rights did little for the Coast Survey as there was little in the purchased documents that were not already public property. However, the United States and the Coast Survey were indebted to the Blunt family for seventy years of producing the American Coast Pilot as well as being a major force in helping make the shores of our Nation safe for the mariners of the world. Edmund Blunt the Younger had died the year before in the service of the Coast Survey and was at that time first among the field assistants of the Survey. The "Sign of the Quadrant" was fading and would cease to exist after 1871. The Coast Survey and the Blunt family had forged a strong alliance, one that was profitable to both; but more importantly, their alliance and friendship was beneficial to the maritime interests of our Nation. Within the next twenty years the Coast Survey would cover our navigable marine waters with Coast Pilots from Passamaquoddy Bay , Maine , to Brownsville , Texas , on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts; develop pilot guides for Alaskan waters; and revise the pilot guides from San Diego to the Canadian border.
The Coast Pilot of Alaska , (First Part), From Southern Boundary to Cook's Inlet by George Davidson was published in 1869. This work reflected his cruise on the Revenue Cutter LINCOLN which resulted in a report that influenced Congress during debates concerning the purchase of Alaska . Davidson continued his interest in Coast Pilot work culminating in his 1889 edition of Pacific Coast . Coast Pilot for California, Oregon, and Washington . This work is one of the great geographic works of the Nineteenth Century and encompasses the history of discovery and comments on the geography of the western coast of the United States as well as the usual material associated with a coast pilot. For the Atlantic Coast , the forerunner of the United States Coast Pilot series was published in 1874 as Coast-pilot for the Atlantic sea-board : Gulf of Maine and its coast from Eastport to Boston 1874 which was authored by John Service Bradford. The strategy of the Coast Survey in publishing the Coast Pilots was to break the coast into manageable sections and provide highly detailed information for each of the sections. This strategy has been followed to the present day.
The series title starting with United States Coast Pilot made its first appearance in 1888. The first section published under this new series was United States coast pilot. Atlantic Coast, Part IV, Long Island Sound, with approaches and adjacent waters. Oddly, the series title United States Coast Pilot was only used with Atlantic and Gulf Coast Sections and it was not until approximately 30 years later that all Coast and Geodetic Survey Coast Pilots came under the same series title.
The mariner of today relies on the United States Coast Pilot for all sections of the United States coastline. The basic information has remained the same through the years – hazards to navigation, sailing directions, descriptions of prominent landmarks, and other information provided to help assure the safety of ships transiting the marine waters and navigable lakes of the United States . Coast pilots, from the days of the Phoenicians to the modern mariner sailing 1,000-foot containerships and even larger tankers, have been and remain a crucial tool for the mariner making landfall, transiting a nation's coastline, or entering its harbors. As long as mariners sail the seas of the world, coast pilots will help guide their way.
