Rested Clark chases former roommate
By Helen Ross, PGATOUR.COM
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Tim Clark didn't prepare for the Wyndham Championship like most of the rest of the field. He headed to the Bahamas for a few days to recharge his batteries after tying for 11th at the PGA.
"It was a brutal week," Clark said. "Felt like I needed a little bit of relaxation."
And why not? Clark knew he was playing well after shooting a final-round 69 at the Ocean Course. Not to mention, he has two ties for sixth in his last three appearances at the Wyndham Championship, including one at Sedgefield Country Club.
And Clark knew there were low scores out there Thursday after seeing his former college roommate Carl Pettersson, the 2008 Wyndham Championship winner, shot a 62 in the morning. The South African almost caught him in the afternoon, too, shooting a 63 to tie with David Mathis, one stroke off the lead.
"Obviously very pleased with that," Clark said. "Didn't really know what to expect coming up but having seen Carl shoot what he did in the morning I knew it was out there if I played a great round so it was nice to sort of keep pace."
Clark finished his round off with an exclamation point, rolling in a bomb of a 33-footer for his fifth birdie on the final hole. He also made an 8-foot eagle putt at the fifth hole.
"I didn't want to come up short, a tricky putt but I used great imagination on the greens all day," Clark said. "I was able to read the putt. Obviously hit it a little bit firm. Probably would have missed the green if it didn't hit the hole."
Clark appears to be peaking at the right time. After returning from elbow surgery five months ago, he posted his best finish of the season in a tie for fourth at the Travelers Championship. He has finished 15th or better in his last two starts -- moving 124th to 109th in the FedExCup at the PGA last week.
"I needed to play well there and had to get myself in a good position going forward," Clark said. "So I felt like I was under the gun the last few weeks. I seem to play better like that.
"This is a huge week. You have a good opportunity to move way up in the standings and get yourself started. You have to play well. I really want to move up now and then carry that momentum to the Playoffs."
And Clark knows what he needs to do to have a chance to make the Wyndham Championship his second PGA TOUR title.
"I got to keep pace with Carl," Clark said. "He likes this course, he's won here and when he goes low, he really goes low. If I'm able to hang in there, it's going to be a lot of fun."

CLEARWATER — A judge ordered Nancy Broadhead not to have any contact with her 11-year-old daughter, who police say tried to burn down the family home while her mother was inside.
But the moment she is able to see the girl again, Broadhead said she knows exactly what she will say: "I love you. I love you with all my heart."
Speaking to the St. Petersburg Times for the first time since the Dec. 29 fire, Broadhead said she is taking her life one day at a time and isn't holding any grudges.
"Past is past; people change," said Broadhead, 48, who is living with a friend and awaiting surgery and skin grafts for her burned hands and arms.
She uses that axiom for more than just her view of her daughter and her alleged 15-year-old accomplice, Jack Ault, who were charged as juveniles with attempted murder and arson.
In the fire's aftermath, the media produced a flurry of stories about Broadhead and her family, exposing her struggles with alcohol and allegations of child abuse. Those things, too, she says, are behind her.
Her Clearwater home now charred, she said she may look for a new beginning outside Pinellas County, where she has lived most of her life.
But first, she said she would like to see her daughter end up safe — whether it's with her or not.
Her daughter, who the Times is not naming because of her age, is expected to be released from juvenile detention soon to live with Broadhead's sister, Linda, in Lakeland.
"I will do what is in her best interest," said Broadhead, adding there are still times when she finds it hard to believe her daughter could have played any role in the fire.
Broadhead said the night itself was a dark blur of confusion, its aftermath and cause still settling in her head.
"It's awful. I don't even know if I can come up with the right words. I really, really don't. It's called survival. You have to move forward," she said.
Broadhead, who has worked as a waitress for most of her life, has struggled to make ends meet. She lost what she did have in the fire, but said the help she has received from the public in the form of clothes, transportation and other necessities has been amazing.
"The outreach is, it just makes me cry. It's unbelievable," she said. "I never knew that people would reach out to you, call you. It's tremendous."
And her daughter, she said, "is a wonderful little person."
She said while they frequently fought, they did not always hate one another.
Broadhead said despite the picture of a troubled youth painted about her daughter, her problems only recently began when she started middle school last year. She had planned to send the girl to a new school and to see a counselor.
"All of a sudden, a few wrong people, a few wrong turns," she said.
She prefers to think about times before middle school, about a girl with a big heart.
Like when she'd see homeless people and ask her mom to set up tents in the back yard to help them.

Fire leaves dozens of Durham residents without home
Posted July 8, 2013
Durham, N.C. — More than three dozen people were without a home Monday afternoon after a fire engulfed an apartment complex in southwest Durham.
Photos: Fire engulfs Royal Oaks Apartments
About 50 firefighters responded around 12:40 p.m. to the two-alarm blaze at Royal Oaks Apartments, at 3525 Mayfair St., where 18 apartments were destroyed and two others suffered smoke and water damage.
The Triangle Area Chapter of the American Red Cross said it is providing shelter, clothing, food and other emergency needs to the 35 to 40 people displaced from their homes and are trying to figure out what to do next.
It has set up a service center for assistance at 3708 Mayfair St., Suite 100.
Fire victims say they are relieved there were no injuries and credit one thoughtful resident for alerting them of the danger.
"I heard a fire alarm, but that happens occasionally, so I wasn't concerned," said Gregory Berry. "But then someone knocked on my door."
By the time he answered, neighbor Paula Maybrey had moved on, making sure others knew about the fire.
"I just knocked on the doors and ran up and down the stairs, telling everyone there was a fire," she said. "I didn't want anybody to burn. It's bad."
Durham residents without home after apartment fire
Maybrey was in another fire that damaged 10 units in the same complex in 2009.
Durham Fire Chief Dan Curia said Monday's case is still under investigation and that although he isn't sure what caused it, it likely started in a rear bedroom of a first-floor apartment.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Stein Mart, Inc. (Nasdaq:SMRT) today announced that on March 6, 2013 it received the anticipated letter (the "Staff Determination Letter") from the Staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC notifying the Company that it has not regained compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) (the "Rule"), the continued listing requirement to timely file all required periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and therefore, that its common stock would be subject to delisting unless the Company timely requests a hearing before a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel"). The Company plans to timely request a hearing before the Panel. At the hearing, the Company will present its plan for regaining compliance with the Rule, and request continued listing pending its return to compliance. The hearing request will result in an automatic stay of delisting until at least March 28, 2013. Concurrent with the hearing request, the Company will ask the Panel to extend the stay until the conclusion of the hearing process. The Panel has the discretion to grant the Company an extension of time within which to regain compliance with the Rule for a period not to exceed 360 days from the original due date, or September 1, 2013. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that the Panel will grant the Company's request for continued listing. As reported on September 13, 2012 and December 11, 2012, the Company is not in compliance with the Rule because it did not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the second quarter ended July 28, 2012 or the third quarter ended October 27, 2012 (the "Delinquent Filings"). As also previously announced on November 15, 2012, NASDAQ granted the Company an exception until March 5, 2013 to file the Delinquent Filings and regain compliance with the Rule.

Alternative-technology vehicles aren't selling well anywhere in the world. Not even where fuel prices are double what they are in the U.S. or where governments offer far more generous purchase subsidies than Uncle Sam.
Electric cars are not selling anywhere near the volumes anticipated just a few years ago. With one exception, the same is true of hybrid-electric vehicles.
Advocates tell us it's just a matter of time before buyers warm up to new powertrains, but that's not what the marketplace is telling us.
There are more than 40 cars and trucks available in the U.S. with electrified powertrains, yet they account for only 3% of all new vehicle sales. This includes EVs, plug-in hybrids, strong hybrids, and mild hybrids, which includes the sub-category of e-assist cars.
These alternative vehicles are represented in almost every segment, including small, medium, large, luxury, SUV, cross/utility and even pickups. There are EVs and hybrids for nearly every purse and purpose, yet they still do not sell. The one exception is the Toyota Prius.
Back when gasoline was relatively cheap, supporters said acceptance of alternative vehicles would soar as oil prices began their inexorable climb. Yet, even when gasoline and diesel doubled, sales of these vehicles continued to hover around 3% of the U.S. market.
Sales may get even worse if oil prices continue trending downward. Now, proponents say consumers have to get used to the new technology. Some even speak disparagingly of American car buyers, saying they don't understand the benefits of EVs and HEVs.
What alternative-powertrain fans won't tell you is that EVs and hybrids are not selling well anywhere in the world. Not even where fuel prices are double what they are in the U.S., or where governments offer far more generous purchase subsidies than Uncle Sam.
When the original Ford Mustang came out, sales exploded the second the public saw the car. Of course, it was a sexy new design, which helps explain the frenzy. But shoppers also flocked to dealer showrooms when the first Chrysler minivans debuted. Despite their plain appearance, minivans met a market need.
It's the same story with consumer electronics. The Blackberry and other devices caught on quickly as consumers fell in love with smartphones. Sales of the Apple iPad shot through the roof the moment they were available. Sales of EVs and hybrids would be red hot, if people really wanted them.
Here's a very telling anecdote. For two years, Lincoln has offered the MKZ hybrid at no extra cost compared to the V-6 gasoline model. And yet the take rate on the HEV version is only 20%. Four out of five buyers reject the hybrid model even when they don't have to pay extra.
These developments must make major manufacturers of EVs worry deeply about the significant investment they've made in the technology.
Nissan, for example, is building a plant in Tennessee that will be able to make 150,000 Leaf EVs a year. That means it must sell 12,500 units a month to use that capacity. Yet Leaf sales are running at a little over 500 a month.
The Chevrolet Volt is selling somewhat better, 1,680 units in May, but General Motors still must be losing a fortune on the investment it made in developing the car.
The bottom line is consumers just don't want these things. Hybrids and EVs are a flop. Discounts and subsidies are not going to change public perception. If you listen to the market, the message is coming through loud and clear.

And yet, despite her suffering at the hands of the Pinochet regime, Bachelet's political signature has been reconciliation rather than revenge. As minister of defense, she was credited with brokering a peace between Chilean civil society and the armed forces after a decade of controversial investigations into human rights violations under the dictatorship.
Both her political pedigree and her personal warmth and accessibility played well in an election where gender issues were never far from the surface. In the first round of voting on December 15 election, she garnered 45.96% of the vote, compared with the 25.41%, for conservative millionaire businessman Sebasti�n Pi�era Eche�ique, whom she defeated 53.49% to 46.50% in the January 15 runoff.
Bachelet inherits the reins of power on March 11 from fellow Socialist Party leader Ricardo Lagos, hailed as one of Chile's most successful presidents ever, who leaves office with approval ratings above 70%. So while she'll initiate a sea-change within Chile's traditionally macho corridors of powershe has already hinted that women will fill half of the posts in her cabinetshe'll be concerned about preserving the continuity of the country's impressive economic performance. Chile's economy grew 6.3% in 2005, and this year the growth forecast is between 5.25 and 6.25%, fueled mostly by record prices for the country's largest export, copper. Inflation, public debt and unemployment are low, and foreign trade continues to grow, boosted by free-trade agreements with the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the European Union, South Korea and others; new trade pacts are being negotiated with China and India. Infrastructure has been significantly upgraded, crime is down and college enrollment and home ownership are up.
But many Chileans have seen little benefit from the booming economy. Some 10% of Chileans earn up to 60% of the national income, and that dramatic inequality of income has been cited as a key obstacle to Chile's long-term economic development. Bachelet campaigned on promises of pension reform, income growth, environmentally aware expansion of energy resources, and improved relations with neighboring nations.
Although her election is further evidence of a continent-wide shift to the left and away from U.S. economic and political influence, her coalition has remained close to Washington during its three terms in power. Chile's center-left governments have concluded trade agreements with Washington and cooperated on a number of regional initiatives, and they have eschewed the sort of anti-American grandstanding of Venezuela's Hugo Ch�vez and Bolivia's Evo Morales. At the same time, Chile has spoken out against the Iraq war, and last spring President Lagos quietly warned U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her South America visit to ratchet down her own anti-Chavez rhetoricall of which makes many Latin American diplomats hopeful that Bachelet will play an even more active mediator role between the Bush and Chavez camps. "We have a good relationship with the United States," says Bachelet advisor and trade negotiator Ricardo Lagos Weber, son of the outgoing president. "We will continue to strengthen our cooperation, granted that we preserve our national interests.
"Michelle Bachelet studied in the U.S.," Lagos told TIME. "She realizes the importance of the U.S.-Chile relations."

East Regional Notebook
by Mike McMahon/Staff Writer
PROVIDENCE, R.I. The end was in sight for Canisius.
Just over 12 minutes to go. A two-goal lead over top-ranked Quinnipiac. Somehow, it appeared the Canisius Golden Griffins, a team that snuck into the NCAA tournament by winning Atlantic Hockey's automatic bid, was going to knock off the top team in the land.
Then Matthew Peca happened.
The Quinnipiac sophomore bobbed his way around the offensive zone, found the puck on his stick and roofed it over Canisius goalie Tony Capobianco to make cut the deficit to 3-2.
The Bobcats added two more within the next six minutes to win, 4-3, advancing to tomorrow's regional final.
"When we got that second goal, it gave us life, we felt it and I knew we were going to win the hockey game," Quinnipiac head coach Rand Pecknold said. "I think our bench knew, too."
It was the lone appearance on the scoresheet for Peca, but his play around the Canisius net was determined.
He constantly weaved his way through seams and disrupted Capobianco's vision. Later in the period he scooped up a loose puck and darted towards the crease, drawing a hooking call on Mitch McCrank that, while not resulting in a goal, helped the Bobcats keep momentum late in the third period after tying the score.
"(Peca) was excellent," Pecknold said. "Matthew and the twins were, by far, our best line. The other three were hit or miss from shift to shift, some guys were struggling. (Peca) was one of our best kids tonight. That goal was big time. I'm still not quite sure how he got it under the bar."
Making a name for themselves
A week ago, few could point out Canisius' home state on a map. Even fewer could pronounce it.
It was a common problem for head coach Dave Smith on the recruiting trail.
After such an inspiring effort on the national stage, he isn't likely to find that problem any longer.
"The things that have happened with our program in terms of people who didn't know how to pronounce it, spell it or even know where we were, this gets us in conversations," Smith said. "It helps in recruiting and just the spirit on the campus. This is a leap forward. It's not a step, it's a leap. In eight years we have talked a lot about it being small steps and now you look back and it's in our lap today. Our players came up with the slogan 'raise the bar' and they put it on shirts. They did today."
No flow to be found
Long television breaks aren't something Canisius is accustomed to. Even Quinnipiac, which had its share of television face time this season, hasn't had to face prolonged commercial delays that stretch over two minutes.
"There was a challenging flow," Smith said. "We don't play in a lot of TV games, period. With long timeouts, and I thought the refs did a nice job keeping it moving, but it felt like momentum was going their way in the third."
That was evident, as the Bobcats struck three times in the final frame.
"It can be really hard," Pecknold said. "TV timeouts are tough when they're a minute, but when they're as long as they are, it's not the type of game that us or Canisius are used to playing."
Griffs go all-in
Not that Canisius had nothing to lose – the Griffs were, after all, in the NCAA tournament with their season on the line – but even Smith admits that no one thought his program would be here.
"We were playing with house money," Smith said. "We had to explain to some of our guys what that meant, but once we did, we were playing with house money. We wanted to be aggressive with it."
And they were. Taking a 2-1 lead in the second period and then adding a third insurance goal in the third and it seemed like the Griffs' all-in philosophy was about to hit big.
"People say a two-goal lead is the worst in hockey," Smith said, "I don't know, I'd take a two-goal lead and try to play with it. It was just a slow burn. The shots were the shots, we weren't trying to win the shot battle, we wanted to win the scoreboard battle. I didn't think we went into a shell."
The Leftovers
Quinnipiac's Connor Jones led all players with a whopping eight shots on goal. ... The Griffs blocked 23 shots while the Bobcats put 40 on goal. ... Quinnipiac didn't have a power play until the third period, when they had three, and converted on their second of the game. Canisius went 0 for 2 with the extra man. ... Quinnipiac out-attempted the Griffs 89-40.
Yale preps Union for BC
Some are surprised at Yale's run to the Frozen Four after dispatching WCHA foes Minnesota and North Dakota in the Midwest regional.
Don't put Union head coach Rick Bennett in that group.
Bennett utilized a gameplan against Boston College, ending the defending national champions' season in the opening round, that was similar to his strategy against the Bulldogs.
"We actually took the game plan from when we played Yale," he said. "Yale was a great test for us in that their fowards can really transition but (Boston College) takes it to a different level. There was no disappointment there. Our transition to defense needed to match their transition to offense."
All-ECAC final on tap
Union and Quinnipiac will faceoff in the East final tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. The winner will join fellow ECAC squad, Yale, in the Frozen Four.
The Bobcats won both regular-season meetings, 4-0 and 3-2, but the teams haven't played since mid-January.
"One team is going to the Frozen Four and it's great for our league," Bennett said. "You hope it's your team. For now, we'll buckle down, watch video and get ready."

I learned to make candy by my great-grandfather - who had a copper pot and I swear, I could have fit inside it!! Of course that was way too many moons ago and although my candymaking continues, whatever pot I grab is used, mostly stainless steel - no teflon.
My question is - have any of you invested in a copper pot and if so, was it worth the cost? I plan to visit Savannah this summer and see the "Candy Man" that made Paula Deen's brittles. He has given me a source but their wares start at $800
Ebay is just about as bad and you never know what you'll get.
Any feedback will be appreciated.
Copper is the preferred pan mainly because of its even heating conductivity. Stainless works just as good. As far as investing in a copper pan I would not if your doing well with the stainless.
Does your SS pans have a copper bottom? I prefer those.
Emie, be careful in using pans with copper bottoms sometimes the heat raised high will cause the bottom part to fall off I would avoid those and just use a straight stainless steel pan. I have pans with copper bottoms but would not dare use them to cook sugar. There are plenty of other type pans that will work other than stainless steel or copper though.
I've been tempted to get some copper pans (Mauviel brand) from www.williams-sonoma.

Well, I bit the bullet and bought a copper pot on Ebay, I'll try a batch when it arrives and see how it cooks. If it's worth the $$ I may invest in a larger one.
Just as I expected, the Ebay seller had issues and hasn't sent my copper pot yet. Hopefully it will arrive sometime soon so I can get some practice batches made before the holidays..

Mark Lundy lodges Privy Council appeal
A friend of murder victim Christine Lundy says there will be "anxious times ahead" if Mark Lundy's application to London's Privy Council seeking permission to appeal his convictions for murdering his wife and young daughter goes through.
Christine Lockett said the threat of the Privy Council appeal for Lundy had "reared its ugly head so many times over the years" but an appeal has never come to fruition.
"I never thought it would. We are never allowed to totally be at peace with the horrific loss of Christine and Amber and all that we went through keeps coming back to haunt us," she said.
Mark Lundy has applied to London's Privy Council seeking permission to appeal his convictions and is represented by high-profile lawyer David Hislop, QC.
"The fact that Mark still professes his innocence and will never admit to this brutal crime is beyond me. We have some anxious times ahead especially if it the case gets accepted," said Lockett.
Lundy is serving a life sentence with a non-parole period of 20 years after a jury found him guilty of killing his wife Christine and daughter Amber, 7, in a frenzied attack in their Palmerston North home in August 2000. Two years later he was sentenced to a minimum of 17 years, but that was increased by the Court of Appeal after both Lundy and the prosecution appealed.
Lundy has always maintained his innocence and on the 10th anniversary of the killings, his then legal team said it was launching a bid to challenge his convictions at the Privy Council - the highest court that can hear the case.
New Zealand's Supreme Court did not exist at the time of the murders, so cannot hear the case.
This morning Privy Council spokesman Ben Wilson confirmed the papers were received by the court last night.
"The appellants are seeking permission to appeal the Court of Appeal judgment, and there is no automatic right of appeal," Mr Wilson said
"Generally speaking, in these circumstances, the papers from both sides will be considered by a panel of three justices and a decision is taken on whether or not it should proceed to a full appeal hearing."
Mr Wilson said there was also a chance a hearing could be held about granting Lundy permission to appeal.
Either way it was likely that decision would be taken next year.
Should permission be granted, the Privy Council law lords could then consider Lundy's convictions, either upholding or quashing them, in which case the solicitor-general could order a retrial. Lundy's bid is headed by Mr Hislop, a New Zealand lawyer who has practised in Britain since 1988. He was admitted to the bar in New Zealand in 1979. He represents clients in "all forms of serious crime including murder, terrorism, organised crime and extradition", according to his chamber's website.
It is understood the legal bid has been funded by supporters of Lundy involved in the Factual (For Amber and Christine - Truth Uncovered about Lundys) website.
It is also understood that Lundy's previous legal team of Wellington lawyer Christopher Stevenson and Keith Becker, now based in Sydney, were to have appealed on the basis of discrediting brain or spinal tissue found on one of Lundy's shirts during the police investigation.
The Factual website also lists doubts about the time of death and whether Lundy could have driven back from Wellington, where he was staying for work, committed the murders, then driven back in the tight time frame.
Lundy's case is probably one of the last that can go to the Privy Council.
Three years ago it rejected an appeal from John Barlow, who at his third trial in 1995, was convicted of killing Wellington father and son businessmen Eugene and Gene Thomas. In 2007, it quashed David Bain's convictions for murdering his Dunedin family in 1994. He was found not guilty at a retrial.

Customer Reviews
Proved to be an excellent app during our VJ gig!
We connected two cameras streaming video through to Videator, which was then output to two large projectors. Not only did Videator handle this beautifully at very smooth frame rates, but we were are able to delight all of the guests with the bevvy of visual effects that are built right in. We also were able to create our own "filter recipes", and that'll be fun to continue to develop during future uses. I highly recommended this app to anyone who wants to make cool and grooved out visuals for their parties and clubs.
Makes a great video backdrop to live music or at a party!
Having Videator running during a party or when a band is playing "makes" the place cool. Using multiple video feeds and cool images, we make the place even more rocking when we've got Videator on the big screen. Loved it on the Mac before the app store (when I paid $49 for this app!) and love the new version. Terrific customer service too.
Glad to see Videator on the app store!
So far, not impressed.
Video is choppy or just fails. Little in the way of instruction although there is some on the developers site it just seems to spotlight attributes. There is also a demo download on that page. I wish I had investigated that before I purchased this program. That's the problem with this App Store on my Mac; I assume they're selling top grade Mac tested products. Do some investigation before you buy anything in this store! I was doing live video. It might be better at conversion of existing video. If so I'll up my stars.

So your young student now has one year of learning under his or her belt. First grade may be a big transition to a full day of school if your Kindergartner was in a ½ day school setting. This year there are less play type activities and more emphasis on learning new tools for academic success. Your six-year old is discovering that he or she is a unique individual, and may find socializing or making friends much more important than ever before.
The following is a general list of only a few of the things your first grader should learn by the end of the year. For a more in depth look check out What Your First Grader Needs To Know from your local library, or purchase it through the Core Knowledge Foundation.
At this grade level, your first grader will begin to transition from reading in pictures to reading primarily word-based books with fewer pictures. Vocabulary and spelling words correctly will become an increasing focus this year. Listening carefully and beginning to print neatly are also important to master.
Through History and Geography, your first grader will see many different places through geography. Studying ancient civilizations such as Egypt, The Roman Empire, and Greece are sure to be great topics of dinner conversation. Studying early exploration and the American Revolution will give your student a good beginning foundation in American history and civics.
Art classes will concentrate on drawing straight lines, primary color recognition, art appreciation, self-portraits, and still life.
Students will make tremendous progress in math during first grade. Here they will begin to do simple addition and subtraction problems, as well as continue to learn how time and temperature are measured. Understanding simple fractions will take place through dissecting slices of pizza's, and pie's and other common objects. Word problems may be introduced during first grade.
Science is a wonderful topic in first grade. Your student will begin to learn about the different systems in the body. This also can make for some interesting dinner table conversations (Just wait, you will understand what I mean by the end of the year!) In addition, first graders will learn properties of matter at a macro level and the scientific method, which will help with problem solving and logical though processes.

The Daily Southern Cross November 17th 1863
This fine vessel came up the harbour yesterday morning, and dropped her anchor off the Queen-street Wharf shortly after eight o'clock, after a passage of 120 days from England. She sailed from gravesend on the 14th of July, and on Saturday, the 18th, called in at Dartmouth to take the doctor on board, which protracted the voyage for several days. She left Dartmouth on the 19th July, and experienced fine weather until arriving off the meridian of the cape. Crossed the equator on the 23rd August, in longitude 29 degrees west. No detention was experienced from calms. Passed the meridian of the Cape on the 26th September, in latitude 44 degrees south. After rounding the Cape, met with some severe gales, and encountered rough weather until sighting Tasmania. Made the Three Kings on the New Zealand coast, on Wednesday, November 11th, and had beating weather all down the coast. Dropped her anchor off the North head on sunday morning, being unable to get up the harbour. There were two deaths amongst the passengers on the voyage; the first, on the 23rd July, a Mr Copeland dying of consumption, the second on 29th August, the deceased being Mr Thomas Finn. There was one birth, on the 4th october. One vessel only was spoken with during the passage - the ship 'Raja' from Rio Janeiro (sic), latitude 14o north and longitude 27o west, The Helvellyn is a fine large vessel of 1,017 tons, and is commanded by Captain F S Dalison. She was built in Sunderland, by Messrs Robert Thompson and Son, and has been classed A1 for 13 years. Her accomodation between decks seems to be all that could be wished for, and the health of the passengers during the voyage has been very good. General satisfaction appears to have been given by the captain and officers of the ship, and the services of the surgeon in charge, Dr Asham, have been highly appreciated. Mr W S Laurie is her agent.

Tim Wirth (M.F.A., painting, 2009)
Tim Wirth grew up on a farm in rural Iowa. As a child, Tim enjoyed drawing pictures of people, objects, and gloomy desert scenes. He also liked building things like pinewood derby cars & various inventions that served little to no purpose. The first artist he recalls enjoying was George Catlin. Upon attending Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa, he discovered there were people like HC Westermann and Marcel Duchamp who once existed and made things too. After attending the Savannah College of Art and Design , where he received his MFA in Painting, he relocated to Des Moines, Iowa, where he worked in the plumbing department of a hardware store for a short time. After a year of that, he moved back to his native flat lands of northern Iowa to paint and make things.

DISTRIBUTION is being moved from Swindon to France by Triumph despite successful efforts to cut costs and improve efficiency by Menlo, according to Unite's rep at the site.
News broke on Monday of the lingerie firm's decision to move its distribution operations from the warehouse it owns at the Groundwell Industrial Estate to its Obernai site in France.
Menlo employees, who work at the distribution centre on behalf of Triumph, have said the result of the announcement is likely to mean 70-plus employees will lose their jobs, though the company is yet to confirm numbers.
Redundancies have not been confirmed by the firm either, though it is thought the employees may well be given the chance to relocate to the Obernai site, according to John McGookin, regional officer for Unite in Swindon.
He said: "At the warehouse they have delivered exceptional improvements in cost efficiency and bent over backwards to support the client.
"It would seem all for nothing. They have worked as hard as they could to deliver every target asked of them.
"They have gone beyond the call of duty in meeting expectations, made huge efficiency savings and then bang, this news comes out.
"The impression I got was that Triumph announced it was moving its warehouse operations to Obernai and the inference of that was it would make the workforce redundant.
"There has been little or no conversation since the announcement, but they may yet still be offered the chance to go to France.
"The vast majority of ladies have worked there for quite some time and are quite mature in their working environments.
"They're not going to transfer to France, it's an unrealistic expectation."
Senior staff at Menlo are said to have been shocked by Monday's announcement. The logistics firm running the warehouse felt it had developed a strong UK foundation in Swindon.
Senior managers at the site were summoned to the estate on Monday, dealt the news and asked to make an announcement to employees a short time later.
Aside from the staff affected at Menlo, Triumph still has offices based on the industrial estate, with buyers and purchasing departments there, amounting to 30 or 40 people.
In its announcement on Monday, Triumph declared its sales and operating functions would not be affected, but Mr McGookin doesn't see a long-term future for an office in Swindon with a vacant factory standing next to it.
"The impression I got was everything in Swindon was going, but then I heard there would be a small office remaining," he said.
"Triumph's headquarters are in Swindon as well as offices in London, but it's hard to see how you can maintain that site without the warehouse, without anything."
The Unite officer will meet with Menlo's site manager Steve Major on Tuesday, to discuss the future of warehouse operatives at the base.

The scientific way to make alcohol disappear
No, not that way. That'll come later. For now, you can get some (purified) ethanol and some water, and do a quick experiment that involves one of those thing disappearing into the other. All you need is some water, and some ethanol, a cup measure and a glass or two to mix them in.

Western Ghats - India
Older than the Himalaya mountains, the mountain chain of the Western Ghats represents geomorphic features of immense importance with unique biophysical and ecological processes. The site's high montane forest ecosystems influence the Indian monsoon weather pattern. Moderating the tropical climate of the region, it presents one of the best examples of the monsoon system in the planet. The site also has an exceptionally high level of biological diversity and endemism. It is recognized as one of the world's eight "hottest hotspots" of biological diversity. The forests of the site include some of the best representatives of non-equatorial tropical evergreen forests anywhere and is home to at least 325 globally threatened flora, fauna, bird, amphibian, reptile and fish species.

Rep. Ryan actually speaks the truth for once.
I nearly fell out of my chair.
Now, what's the true 10-year cost of this bill in 10 years? That's $2.3 trillion.
Mr. President, you said health care reform is budget reform. You're right. We agree with that. Medicare, right now, has a $38 trillion unfunded liability.That's $38 trillion in empty promises to my parents' generation, our generation, our kids' generation. Medicaid's growing at 21 percent each year. It's suffocating states' budgets. It's adding trillions in obligations that we have no means to pay for it.
Now, you're right to frame the debate on cost and health inflation. And in September, when you spoke to us in the well of the House, you basically said — and I totally agree with this — I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future.
Since the Congressional Budget Office can't score your bill, because it doesn't have sufficient detail, but it tracks very similar to the Senate bill, I want to unpack the Senate score a little bit.
And if you take a look at the CBO analysis, analysis from your chief actuary, I think it's very revealing. This bill does not control costs. This bill does not reduce deficits. Instead, this bill adds a new health care entitlement at a time when we have no idea how to pay for the entitlements we already have.
Now, let me go through why I say that. The majority leader said the bill scores as reducing the deficit $131 billion over the next 10 years. First, a little bit about CBO. I work with them every single day — very good people, great professionals. They do their jobs well. But their job is to score what is placed in front of them. And what has been placed in front of them is a bill that is full of gimmicks and smoke-and-mirrors. Now, what do I mean when I say that?
Well, first off, the bill has 10 years of tax increases, about half a trillion dollars, with 10 years of Medicare cuts, about half a trillion dollars, to pay for six years of spending.
Now, what's the true 10-year cost of this bill in 10 years? That's $2.3 trillion.

Rare room reserved for bubbly show
Related topics
Uwe Opocensky, executive chef, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong
Krug Room, 1/F, Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, 2825 4014
This venue is one of four Krug Rooms in the world, the other three being in the Dorchester Hotel in London, Tanga restaurant in Tokyo, and Hotel Lausanne Palace & Spa, Switzerland - on a private terrace overlooking the lake.
They are exclusive dining venues - bookings only and, obviously, Krug bubbly is the beverage of choice.
Uwe Opocensky is the host of the Krug Room in Hong Kong. This prestigious dining space tucked behind The Chinnery in the Mandarin Oriental has a capacity of 10 guests. The kitchen is visible through a glass window, but Opocensky is often on the customer side of the glass to talk about the food.
'These are [Jersey Royal] potatoes wrapped in edible clay,' he says about amuse bouche, a dish he calls stone-baked potatoes (pictured). As we stare at a plate of what looks like pebbles and hesitate, he says: 'Don't worry, the real pebbles are glued on the plate.'
Opocensky, who did a six-month stint at El Bulli and recently did a summer stint there, has obviously been impressed by the famed restaurant's head chef, the legendary Ferran Adria.
Adria's creative and often chemical take on food ingredients have earned him a reputation as 'the father of molecular gastronomy', although the chef rejects that term. Undeniably, though, he has stirred up quite a molecular storm in the culinary world.
'I cannot tell you what a genius he [Adria] is. The way he looks at cooking has changed world cuisine,' he says.
But the Krug Room host is quick to point out that Adria merely inspires him and that he is not trying to be another Adria. 'No one can copy him, like there is only one Picasso in the world. He's got his own style and so have I. Mine is progressive gastronomy. I am not a scientist, I don't work with molecules,' he says.
Adria closes his restaurant six months a year to experiment with new recipes at his workshop in Barcelona. Opocensky, being the executive of a hotel running seven outlets, does not have that luxury. But he does spend every Saturday morning working on new ideas for the Krug Room.
'Sometimes I can quickly come up with two to three dishes in a morning that I can roughly serve. Others take six months to get to where they are.'
And the results might not be as quirky as some of Adria's inventions, but they are still amusing. Our blackened cod is served on a puddle of potato coriander (with white sesame, ginger puree and miso underneath) sauce and a raked paste of black sesame praline, breadcrumbs and liquid coconut, topped with crunchy eggplant and a twig of what he calls oyster leaves. Amazingly they taste like oysters.
Opocensky says he discovered them while working at El Bulli. After that we were ready for the palate cleanser. 'Champagne is made of grapes and you are drinking Krug, so grapes are running out. I am going to make grapes out of champagne,' he proclaims before making the palate cleanser.
He shakes a cocktail shaker, opens the lid and pours the contents into a glass bowl. The contents bubble and fog like dry ice and Opocensky scoops out from that mixture two grapes for every guest.
The grapes are carbonated on the inside, giving the impression of 'eating the champagne'.
This is followed by lamb tzatziki ('knobs' of lamb loin and squash topped with a prune, served on a yogurt-drawn circle, with a cauliflower couscous) and beef Wellington (wrapped in a piece of mushroom that looks like paper wrap and melts when the sauce is poured on). The Krug Room is more than just cooking it is also a show.
But Opocensky does not mind anyone criticising his dishes. 'It keeps you on the edge,' he says. 'Criticisms are the best praise. They give you the chance to improve.'
Sharing is also how Opocensky ups his game. He says there is a circle of chefs practising that style of cooking who exchange information on the internet.
'Ferran [Adria] shares everything. He knows what he does is original and he tells you whatever he knows. I am a strong believer in sharing, I think it's petty not to.'

|A pretty tough route with a hard cranking start. I found the upper part after the traverse to be kinda hard too, though fixed nuts would certainly help. Nice climb, the upper two pitches are really good too but are best approached on rap

|Nice contribution, and a kick-ass pitch. I think that the top of the pitch is at least as difficult as the start, and there weren't any fixed nuts on my attempts.. Perhaps not if both sections were encountered with fresh arms, but on a lead attempt, the top feels harder to me. The LA beta sounds like good advice. I'm still not sure how, but I whipped off the end of the traverse in 2001 (where the holds are good) and narrowly missed getting injured when I impacted the ledge below. I believe Rob Frost has footage of that bumbling bit of climbing (and falling). I hope to redpoint someday......

(drawing a blank, left of mordor) With the direction of fall and how the pin cams itself in, can be way bomber.

|you would just slot the pin in and since you were below it and if you fall, it would cam in. then when you stood up on the flake and placed gear it would pull out. that was the idea at least. there's one in there right now, it got stuck and it was only hand/foot placed.

Gayton housing estate bid gets green light
PUBLISHED: 09:37 02 September 2014 | UPDATED: 09:37 02 September 2014
Plans to build dozens of houses in Gayton have been given the green light.
Up to 33 homes are penned for the former industrial site next to Gayton Mill on Litcham Road.
The site will help assist the expected future demand for housing, as well as improve the setting of Gayton when approaching from Litcham.
While supported by councillors, the construction of the site is to be determined on whether a path can be built to link the site to the nearby Gayton Village.
Gayton councillor Alastair Beales said: "There is guaranteed to be a future demand for housing so projects like this I can fully support.
"It would make better use of unused land and will boost the sight of Gayton as you drive by.
"However there are a few significant concerns which have to be sorted before it goes ahead.
"A new footpath is critical for this project to go through, as otherwise, the site would not be accessible for pedestrians unless they were to walk on the road which would be extremely dangerous."
As well as the construction of a new path from the site, footpaths at the nearby Lynn Road junction with Back Lane are set to be expanded.
This concerned one councillor who uses the road frequently and said that the junction is already very tight and difficult to drive.
The site is currently occupied by unused buildings which were used by a flax seed processing plant.
Councillor Beales said: "Given the past users of the site it is likely that some contamination will be present in the ground."
"There is also potential the existing empty properties to contain asbestos, however the councils environmental health department and the environment agency are happy for this matter to be dealt with."
Site applicants Mr and Mrs Bateson are looking to demolish the existing buildings on the site and replace them with a mixture of affordable and executive housing.
Robert Bateson owned the site 25 years ago when it was occupied by the seed processing plant.
He then leased it out until there was no longer a demand for the product and the buildings have remained vacant since 2000 when the plant was closed down.
Mr Bateson, with no need for the building or land, will look to sell the land with the benefit of the useful planning permission.
Once the final stages of planning has gone through, work on the site will start as soon as possible.
Current cost estimates of the project are yet to be determined.
The applicants have though proposed to make a financial contribution towards the cost of improvements to the junction between Lynn Road and East Walton Road.

Total Discovers Gas at Bolivian Aquio Block
Total subsidiary Total E&P Bolivie (TEPBo) has encountered gas and condensate at its AQI-X1001 exploration well in the Aquio block in Bolivia.
The well has confirmed the northern extension of the Incahuasi structure, which was discovered in 2004 by the exploration well ICS-X1 in the Ipati block.
The presence of hydrocarbons was confirmed by a test over a limited section of the formation, which has produced gas and condensate at initial rates of over 500,000 cubic metres per day and 500 barrels per day, respectively.
TEPBo is operator of the Aquio and Ipati blocks with an 80% participating interest in association with Tecpetrol de Bolivia, which has 20%.

Though he doesn't advertise it as such, Enrico Labayen's Labayen Dance/SF is one of the few ballet-based companies in the Bay Area with a truly diverse group of dancers, covering at least five ethnicities and ranging from ages 21 to well in the 40s. The reason for this general lack of diversity is not hard to guess: Ballet is an unforgiving technique that favors the young. However, though Labayen's work is founded on ballet technique, it first and foremost pays tribute to the emotions.
The troupe presents its Fall Season 2013 show at ODC Theater Sept. 12-15 with a brimming mixed bill, composed of works choreographed not only by Labayen but also by ballet-modern-bellydance fusion artist Anandha Ray, ballet-acroyogi extraordinaire Laura Bernasconi, and company artist Victor Talledos.
Comprising a large portion of the program, Labayen's work ranges from the environmentally aware Isadora Duncan award-winning revival en-GULF-ed to a biographical work on artist Frida Kahlo, to the sex-charged male solo Kiss My Arp, to the purely abstract Door Ajar.
Door Ajar, with its butch, no-nonsense energy features the company in attack formations. Moving like jackals on the hunt, the dancers move to Tan Dun's challenging score in stunning bottle-green costumes designed and sewn by company artist Ismael Acosta. At the opposite end of the spectrum, Daiane Lopes da Silva was a heartbreaking oil-sopped bird in en-GULF-ed, draped in and surrounded by a morass of garbage bags and unfurling her wiry limbs in defiance and defeat in a modern-day version of Fokine's Dying Swan.
The expressive Lopes da Silva also shone in Frida: Broken Column, in which she and statuesque Kahlo-doppelgänger Diane Mateo enacted a scene of burning-eyed obsession and internal struggle against background projections of Kahlo's paintings. Kiss My Arp, a premiere, featured Acosta as a muscular beast, a leather-strapped fetishist arching from the ground in heat.
The work by guest artists also demonstrated a healthy variety. Bernasconi's Nourishment, a duet with Acosta, was one of the evening's gems, exhibiting Bernasconi's pliant physique on the sturdy scaffold of Acosta's body with buoyant delight and a sweet touch of humor. Its counterpart, Hunger, a duet for Acosta and the nimble Will Couture, was equally acrobatic and demonstrated a tenderness between the men that did not lapse into sentimentality.
Talledos' Secrets Like These, a solo for Leda Pennell, operated under the premise that women, left to their own devices, strip off their outerwear and perform spicy chair dances for their own private pleasure. The kittenish Pennell danced the technically challenging choreography with relaxed ease. Ray's Anima Sana In Corpore Sano was an intense solo for Bernasconi, who strained against unseen forces, breathing audibly and contorting her exquisite torso as if possessed. However, the piece, presented as a "work-in-progress," was ultimately mysterious without greater context.
Labayen Dance/SF presents Fall Season 2013 Sept. 12-14 at 8 p.m. and Sept. 15 at 3 p.m. at ODC Theater, 351 Shotwell St., S.F. Tickets are $20-$25; click here.

How Much Does Turnover Matter? Evidence from Indonesian Manufacturing Total Factor Productivity Growth, 1975-95
Indonesian manufacturing exhibits a dual structure, with a sector composed of a few dominant large and long-lived companies, along with a sector composed of numerous small and medium enterprises and displaying dynamic turnover. Using manufacturing plant-level panel data (1975-95), we decompose total factor productivity (TFP) growth into intra-plant TFP growth, market share reallocation among incumbents and plant turnover effect. Both market share reallocation from low to high productivity growth plants, and the process of turnover among small- and medium-scale plants offer a high and positive contribution to aggregate TFP growth. This is, however, cancelled out both by the reallocation of market shares from high to low productivity level plants, and incumbents' intra-plant productivity losses. This suggests that the turnover process in the small- and medium-scale sector is essential to aggregate TFP growth, but that the process of catching up within manufacturing is not yet advanced enough to provide the full benefits.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Now: the future of the U.S. space program and the many questions surrounding it, the mission, the money, and the politics.
More than two years ago, space shuttle Atlantis touched down for final the time at the Kennedy Space Center.
CHRIS FERGUSON, NASA: After serving the world for over 30 years, the space shuttle has earned its place in history and has come to a final stop.
JUDY WOODRUFF: The landing marked the end of a more-than-three-decade-long era for the shuttle program and came after NASA's glory days with trips to the moon.
Manned spaceflight has not been the sole focal point of NASA's success. Powerful telescopes have revealed new insights about thousands of potential planets. Astronauts still do research on the International Space Station. And robotic rovers on Mars have beamed back images and information about the red planet's surface.
But facing budget cutbacks and political pressures, NASA now faces a looming question: What comes next?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: We will start by sending astronauts to an asteroid for the first time in history.
JUDY WOODRUFF: In a 2010 speech on space exploration, President Obama pressed for further discovery. The space program heeded the call, and recently launched Asteroid Redirect Mission, an ambitious program to capture a small asteroid.
NASA is also already at work on the Orion and the Space Launch System, new designs for manned space exploration.
Joel Achenbach is looking at all of the questions connected to NASA as part of a new series by The Washington Post. The first article ran this week. It focused on the asteroid project, called "Mission Improbable."
Joel Achenbach joins me now.
Why mission improbable? And, by the way, welcome back to the NewsHour.
JOEL ACHENBACH, The Washington Post: Well, thank you, Judy. Great to be here.
This is a challenging situation for NASA. If you're the agency, where are you going to go? What are you going to do? This is a question that's been posed really for decades now. They want to go to Mars, but that's really hard. It would be very expensive. It's very challenging technically to go to Mars with human beings and to bring them back alive.
JUDY WOODRUFF: It's so far away, cost so much.
JOEL ACHENBACH: It's far. It would cost many billions of dollars.
The current policy of the United States is to go to an asteroid. This is the 2010 national space policy. President Obama said, let's go to an asteroid. What I didn't know until I did my research, my reporting on this, is that to go to an asteroid would take about a year, even a near-Earth asteroid.
You always think, well, where are they? Well, they're in orbit around the sun. They come close to the Earth, but they're moving at different speeds. And any trip to an asteroid would take a long time. And NASA doesn't have the hardware to do that, doesn't have the money to do that. It's a very daunting challenge.
And so they have come up with this fallback plan, which is to bring the asteroid back to orbit around the moon.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Is that even possible?
JOEL ACHENBACH: Yes, it's possible.
I mean, will this actually happen? Well, that's a big question. That's what we looked at. A lot of the scientists say, we don't have a good target. If you look at the near-Earth asteroids, the ones you might potentially go grab…
JUDY WOODRUFF: That are out there orbiting the sun. Â
JOEL ACHENBACH: Yes. They orbit the sun, just as the Earth does.
But they're moving at all different speeds. So, it can't be spinning too rapidly. It can't be tumbling. It can't be just like a loose bag of rocks. It can't be too big, can't be too small. And so there's all — and it can't be moving too quickly, too rapidly relative to the Earth.
And so to find a target rock — they haven't found one yet. They don't have their target rock yet. So, that's the first challenge is which rock are they going to actually grab if they try to do this.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And you write in the article about there's disagreement in the NASA — in the science — the space community about whether this is even a good idea.
JOEL ACHENBACH: It's not the most popular mission that NASA has ever proposed.
The space scientists, they have a list of what they would like to do. Every 10 years, they do a survey. What are our top priorities? This was not on their list.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Not even on the list?
JOEL ACHENBACH: This is not really considered a science mission. It's more of a technology-driven, capabilities type of mission to show that we can do something like this.
And, most importantly, it gives a destination for this new rocket that they're building and the new spaceship. They're building a spaceship called Orion, which is a capsule that will go on top of this heavy-lift rocket called the SLS, the Space Launch System.
Where is this rocket going to go? What are you going to do with it? Now, President Bush said, go back to the moon. We will build a big rocket. We will build the Orion capsule and we will build a lunar lander. Obama killed that back-to-the-moon program, saying, we have been there, we have done that.
And this is a big debate. Should we go back to the moon or not? Where people want to go is Mars. An argument could be made that to go back to the moon doesn't really get you to Mars. But, in the meantime, we still have this big rocket and this space capsule. What are you going to do with it?
Well, the Asteroid Redirect Mission, where you capture this rock, bring it into orbit around the moon, go up, visit it in lunar orbit, do an EVA, a space walk with a couple of astronauts, they will examine it, bring back samples, that is the idea. It's a lot of moving parts, though. And we call it mission improbable because I don't think you would want to gamble this is really going to happen, at least on NASA's current timetable. They're hoping to do it by 2021.
JUDY WOODRUFF: But it's all caught up in this question of what is NASA's mission now going forward.
JOEL ACHENBACH: Yes. What is NASA trying to do? What's the point of this?
This is an agency that's done incredible things. And, someday, maybe NASA will lead an international effort to put people on Mars. That's the goal that everyone wants to do. Short of that, maybe you could put people in orbit around Mars. Short of that, maybe someday you could go to a near-Earth asteroid. This is one step behind that. This is examining a rock that you have captured and put in orbit around the moon.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Very quick last question. Is this all about a lack of money that's making it so hard to figure this out, or is it more than that?
JOEL ACHENBACH: Spaceflight is hard.
And, with human beings, it's very difficult. It's very expensive to do it, if you want to do it safely and do it the way NASA does it, which is the presumption is, our astronauts are going to come home alive from this mission. So, yes, it costs a lot of money to do it.
And NASA for years has had a flat budget. It's now been declining a little bit. And so an argument can be made that they have been asked to do really difficult things, but they have not been given the money to do it.Â
JUDY WOODRUFF: Joel Achenbach, fascinating first piece. And we will be looking for what's next in the series.
JOEL ACHENBACH: Thank you, Judy.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Thank you.
