The Salmon Trap: An Analogy for People's Entrapment by the State
By Robert Higgs
A salmon trap (also known as a pound net) is a setup for catching salmon as they return to their spawning places in the gravel beds of shallow inland streams. Such traps were used in Washington and Oregon until they were
—by Oregon in 1926 and by Washington in 1934—and in Alaska until they were banned in 1959. They were highly efficient arrangements for harvesting salmon, outlawed only because the operators of competing types of gear and sportsmen's groups ultimately had more political clout.
The traps can be constructed in various ways, but a common type was a carefully shaped arrangement of netting or wire mesh secured to driven piles, usually placed not far from shore along observed migration paths of returning salmon. The "lead" was a straight fence of netting, often several hundred feet long, extending from the bottom to the high-water level and running in a direction approximately perpendicular to the shoreline. After encountering the lead, the salmon swam along it toward the shore into the "outer heart," a V-shaped semi-enclosed arrangement of netting; proceeding through the outer heart toward the shore, they squeezed into the "inner heart," another V-shaped enclosure from which the only avenue of escape was the narrow passage through which they had entered. (Some traps had no inner heart.) From the inner heart, the determined salmon, whose instinctual reluctance to turn in their own wake made the traps so effective, proceeded through a narrowing tunnel into the "pot," a shallow holding area from which almost no fish could escape. Some traps had a "spiller" adjacent to the pot, and connected with it by another tunnel, to facilitate emptying the captured fish into a scow. A few traps, so-called double-enders, had hearts and pots at both ends of the lead.
I have often pondered the analogy between the salmon's being caught in a trap and a human population's being caught in the institutional arrangement we call big government. Just as the salmon trap's lead intercepts the fish in the course of their normal life cycle and directs them into captivity, so various political devices and entreaties intercept people in the course of their normal life and direct them toward dependence on the state. Salmon instinctively strive to return to their spawning places. Human beings strive to get wealth and security, and if they can get something seemingly for nothing, they may deviate from a normal, self-supporting life and support political appeals for plundering their fellows via the state. Only when it is too late, if ever, do people realize that the plunder-masters who have enticed them into supporting the expansion of government's size, scope, and power are, along with their chief cronies in the private sector, the only ones who truly gain. The masses of duped people find themselves caught in a trap, dependent on the state for everything from food, housing, and medical care to education of their children and security in their old age.
Like the narrowing opening through which the salmon enter the "hearts" of the traps, the ways out of people's helplessness and dependence on the state are narrow and hard to locate. Moreover, going out as they came in flies in the face of their natural proclivity to live at others' expense and care. As the salmon's "mind" tells him not to turn back, so the human mind, especially when it has been bewitched by government propaganda and statist ideology, tells people not to turn back. Having lost the capacity for assuming individual responsibility, people are fearful of taking on such responsibility as their forebears did routinely.
Ultimately, people find themselves in something like the salmon trap's pot, an enclosure in which they can be disposed of as their captors' decide. All imaginable avenues of escape have been eliminated by design, so that people can only mill about, dreaming perhaps of salvation, but unable to overcome the barriers the state and their own thinking place in the way of their true liberation.
People would do well to acquire a keener appreciation of institutional path dependency, especially of the irreversibilities inherent in political and institutional arrangements. It is very often much easier to get into something than it is to get out of it. To retain their liberty, self-reliance, and self-respect, people might well remember the poor salmon and skirt the leads that political plunderers construct to divert them from their normal, decent ways of life. Having entered the "heart" of the state, people have little chance of escape, even if they should seek to do so.

I love this site for the great job it does gathering all the stories that get buried or not mentioned in the mainstream media. It's really important to realize how much, how easily abuse happens by authorities, often police.
That said, while it is true, the state has gotten out of control in many areas, illegal detention, wars, drones, etc. I am troubled by the simplistic " all government is bad, regulation is bad" naive viewpoints that pop up in political stories.
Unregulated capitalism, you'd he to be brain dead to not see how often that will harm mankind. The simplistic "reason" given for outlawing the "efficient" salmon traps is a gret case in point,
It's not helpful or honest to constantly trumpet the "government bad" meme all the time.

We should teach people how to not get into such a trap and how to get out. While we still can.

text: We have an ST743SD which I installed about two years ago. The other end of the house has a Kohler Wellworth(?) toilet that is original to the 1958 house. The Toto retains marks in the bowl about 90% of the time after a bowel movement, while the original toilet almost never does. I have tried flushing before using as well as flushing during use to try to alleviate the problem but to no avail. This is not a chronic problem when using toilets elsewhere. I am wondering if there is perhaps a problem with our toilet, as other reviews don't seem to indicate this being a problem with this model? I have been happy with every other aspect of the toilet, and it ALWAYS removes all the contents of the bowl, even if it leaves a reminder that they were there.

Granted, it was gratifying to read recently in The Miami Herald about his crude animus toward Mexicans ("soft a-- wannabe thugs") and his reference to a former girlfriend as an "ex-hoe." Given the way white supremacists and other Zimmerman supporters have exaggerated and manufactured evidence to paint Zimmerman's unarmed 17-year-old victim, Trayvon Martin, as a thug who somehow deserved shooting, this unflattering portrait offers the same satisfaction one feels any time the goose is basted with sauce that was prepared for the gander.

The pertinent fact is that Zimmerman found Trayvon suspicious because, as he told the 911 dispatcher, the boy was walking slowly and looking around. That might be the behavior of a boy who was turned around in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Or of a boy enjoying a cellphone conversation with a girl and not overly eager to return to where his sweet nothings might be overheard by his dad.
That no such alternate possibilities seem to have occurred to Zimmerman for even an instant suggests the degree to which we as a people have grown comfortable with the belief that black is crime and crime is black. Nor are African-Americans immune to the effects of that invidious formulation.
Indeed, the dirty little secret of the Martin killing is that Zimmerman could easily have been black. True, a black Zimmerman probably would not have been sent home by prosecutors who declined to press charges -- whiteness still has its privileges -- but otherwise, yes. It is entirely possible.
Why not? Blacks watch the same TV news as anyone else. We internalize the same message. We drink the same poison.
Why else do you think black folk flinch when the mug shot goes up on television, hoping the face will not be brown -- as if we bore some communal responsibility for the suspect's misdeeds? Why else do you think so much of our music is a song of violence and crime? Why else, when I ask an auditorium full of black kids how frequently the individual who murders a white person is black, do they figure it at 75 percent? Why else are they shocked to hear it's only 13?
At some subterranean level, we -- African-Americans -- still believe the garbage of innate criminality we have so assiduously been fed, and struggle with hating ourselves, as America long ago taught us to do. We struggle with it, yet we know better from firsthand, man-in-the-mirror experience. So how much harder is the struggle for white folks?
This is why I grow impatient with those -- black, white and otherwise -- who think the salient social issue here is George Zimmerman's character. It is not. Nor is it Trayvon's.
It is, rather, that ours is a nation so obscenely comfortable in conflating black with crime that a civilian carrying no badge of authority nevertheless feels it his right to require that an American boy walking lawfully upon a public street justify his presence there. And it is the knowledge that at least some black men would have done the same.
To make this about Zimmerman is to absolve the rest of us for maintaining a society that, in ways both overt and covert, still makes criminality a function of skin. Trayvon Martin was killed by a stereotype. George Zimmerman is just the guy who fired the gun.

Really fun site
Have you heard of Stickman? I just found it yesteryday thanks to Erin over at Small Types - thanks Erin!
You draw a stick man with your mouse, touch pad, (or I have the benefit of having a pen tablet on one computer) and it comes to life with a little story and you have to draw a few things throughout the story. It's SUPER cute and both boys and myself loved it. It takes some getting used to the drawing so don't be afraid to press "clear" until you like your little figure.
I think you'll love it too!

The best steakhouse in the country under $60! – Fogo de Chao specializes in serving Brazilian-style beef, lamb, pork, and chicken tableside. There is a flat fee (I think around $50) that includes all the meat, salad, and soup you can eat. Not only is the food amazing, but the service beats any sit down restaurant in the country. Waiters constantly walk around asking if you need more meat, sides, or drinks. There is also a great salad bar that includes soups, fish, and cheese. My favorite meat is the bacon-wrapped filet mignon. I highly recommend this restaurant for a date, wives, clients, or friends.
Upscale churrascaria chain brings a taste of southern Brazil to Southern California. – In Short
It's hard to miss the 27-foot tall wine cellar that juts high above La Cienega at this Gaucho steakhouse, which originated in Brazil. Inside, subtle earth tones, rich wood and soft lighting set the scene for the large skewers of beef, lamb, pork and chicken that are roasted over an open flame and carved tableside. Buffet-style salads and sides such as crispy polenta, sweet fried plantains and cheese bread accompany the signature meats. Traditional beverages such as Guarana, a popular Brazilian soft drink, are served in addition to an an extensive wine list and full bar featuring caipirinhas, Brazil's national cocktail.
THE BOMB! – Meat lover's paradise! I went there with a few friends and had a blast! The service was top notch, all the waiters work together so a drink order or a question is never more than a look away. The meat just keeps coming until you flip the little card from green to red. Every cut was amazing, they had something like 16 different types of meat ranging from steak to pork to chicken. The restaurant had a great layout and felt very comfortable. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended!
GREAT FOOD FANTASTIC STAFF – This is by far the best brazillian steakhouse !!!! The staff are great, the food is so fresh and they bring it
until you don't want it anymore. The inside is beautiful. The tables on the side are the best. Make reservations,
we went at 5P and by 7P it was packed. Though in BVHills it is not stuffy and it's casual. Great place to
have a party. Can't wait to go back. It is worth 54.00 JUST EAT SLOW!!!
My member name says it all.... – Kinda worth the money if u really do eat a lot. I hated the garlic beef, I liked their famous p-something meat(forgot what it was called) that was probably my favorite. I hated the stuff wrapped in bacon. The chicken legs tasted weird. The salad bar wasn?t that great, there were like cooked cold broccoli and sliced apples and things I don?t even remember I just only ate the salad with the chopped cucumbers and tomatoes kind of like this Persian thing called salad shirazi. The mashed potatoes were good but not the best in the world. The guys would come around and slice a piece of whatever they were offering and you would either say you wanted it or not. Then he?d slice it almost all the way down till u grabbed it with your tong and you put it onto ur plate. Its almost worth it I just wish it was a 40 dollar meal instead of 50 cuz I don?t eat lamb.
In the mood for great food, top notch service, and a memorable experience? Welcome to Fogo de Chao – I can't say enough good things about Fogo de Chao. I have been a regular at this establishment ever since it opened and I still thoroughly enjoy it today. For those of you who don't know about this restaurant or this type of restaurant, it is a Brazilian steak house where you enjoy all-you-can-eat barbeque, a terrific salad bar, and excellent side dishes. Most of the "gauchos" have been there since day one and are excellent at what they do. Their meats are generously seasoned with salt and pepper then cooked over mesquite charcoal resulting in a true barbecue flavor. While there are over a dozen choices meat, by far and away the best tasting is the beef ribs. It is the same cut of meat you get at a traditional barbecue restaurant but at Fogo they keep the ribs attached and there is a much more meat on the back of the bones as compared to what you might buy at your local butcher. I have been there many times when I ate nothing but the beef ribs, it is sublime. While tempting, I must warn you not to fill up on the salad bar even though they offer you some great choices including one of the best chicken salads in town. This is a great place if you're hungry and want to have food in your belly within 2 minutes of sitting down. You will be served as much and as long as you desire; when you've had enough or need a break simply turn your coaster over to the red side and the meat parade takes a detour away from your table. Other delicious choices are the lamb chops (which they are happy to cook to your doneness preference), the filet, and the chicken legs. I have tried all the offerings and don't dislike a single one, but it boils down to filling up! So on your first visit try everything so that you know what you like. The staff operates fluidly and functions similarly to the Houston's staff where any one of them will do anything for any patron. I have referred dozens of friends to Fogo who unanimously say great things about their experience.
meat lover's heaven – what can i say? what's not to like? if you love to eat and love to eat meat, this is the place! if you like great service & friendly/speedy portuguese gaucho-type servers w/ accents, this is the place. if you like good decor & nice dark-wood-mahogany ambience, this is the place. come hungry and w/ other meat lovers and have a jolly good time getting rotund (worry the next day). you HAVE TO TRY the 'papaya cream' dessert w/ tons of blackberry liquor! the 'strawberry cream' w/ liquor is good too. the valet parking needs work tho!
best brazilian food with great service – I've been there 3 times and every time the food, service and customer service was amazing. I definitely recommend to everybody.
DELICIOUS – The four of us...me,hubby and two kids love this place. They have a great atmosphere and a couple different rooms to sit in. We prefer the larger room closer to the front entrance. It's always crowded here, and we love to people watch. We would totally come here more often if it wasn't so expensive. I believe adults are $50.00 or so and I think kids are half that....expensive, considering most kids can't eat $20 some dollars worth of food. But, we do go, beacause the food is so great. The salad bar is fresh and good. And then they bring side dishes to go with your meats. The bread is out of this world and the kids love turning the little "thingy" on your table to green if you want more meat to come, or red if you want to take a break and finish what's on your plate. For those of you not familiar with a restaurant like this, it's all you can eat and the servers walk around carrying large "sword" type things that are filled with meat, they'll slide it off for you right on to your plate, you also get a pair on tongs so when they bring the larger cuts of meat, they will slice it and then you pick up the piece with your tongs.... our seven year olds favorite part !! how easily their amused !! All the meats are good, we especially like the ribs and the chicken legs. Some meats like the steak/tri tip are cooked like medium rare, so if you want some but want it cooked better like we do...it's no problem, just tell them... and they will come back around with some that are cooked a little more well. They have dessert here and it's pretty good ( not included in the price ). But you will be so full, you might not want to think about dessert or for that matter ever eating again, Hee Hee.
Amazing Brazilian Food! – This restaurant is amazing!!! the best Brazilian food i've had in a long time. It is all you can eat, its in a great location on "Restauran Row" on La Cienega. The atmosphere is great, its very busy and its better to make a reservation ahead of time. The Food is fantastic. They have many differenct cuts of beef but also serve chicken, pork and lamb. They have a huge salad bar that is the freshest i have seen. It is all you can eat as well. The waiters work as a team so you have several people serving you and the customer service is excellent. It is definitely a place to try in LA.

While we're still in the offseason and have time for random topics.....
1. Who is your favorite Nascar personality (driver, broadcaster, whatever) in commercials?
2. What's your favorite Nascar commercial (or series of commercials) of all time?
Being a Nascar fan of less than 10 years, I don't have much to choose from. Michael Waltrip is probably my favorite Nascar personality in commercials.
As far as my favorite commercial of all time, it'd have to be Dale Jarrett's UPS Tribute Commerical. It still gets me every time. Here's the link...hope it works.

TechniTrader(R): Position Trader's Course
TechniTrader(R) The Gold Standard in Stock Market Education offers Position Trading Course as another style of short term trading that can be highly profitable for busy people.
AUBURN, WA, February 21, 2013
-- TechniTrader(R) The Gold Standard in Stock Market Education offers Position Trading Course as another style of short term trading that can be highly profitable for busy people. In addition to the foundation of Position Trading found in the Methodology Essentials ME10 Course, we also offer in depth training on this style in our "TechniTrader(R) Position Trading Elective Course."
To Position Trade a stock is held through mild retracements and periods of consolidation, until a predetermined exit price is reached. This exit price is selected based upon resistance that would cause the stock to retrace steeply or to move sideways for many months. Position traders usually have much higher points gained for each trade, but they are also holding the stock for several weeks to months. This is a slower paced style of trading that is not as demanding time wise as Swing Trading.
Position Trading is the ideal trading style for beginners because it is a forgiving style of trading. If you make a mistake on your entry, you can simply hold through the mild retracement. It is also ideal for low capital base traders who can't afford to buy expensive stocks. Many great bargains can be found when stocks form bottoms, and the Position Trader can buy these stocks at very low prices and hold while the stocks climb. In this way, the beginner and the low capital base trader can increase their capital with lower risk.
Position Trading is also the best choice for people with very busy lives. Position Trading can be done with as little as one or two hours a week, because you are holding the stock for much longer periods of time. You don't have to study charts each night and you enter only a few stocks each month. Short Term trading has become popular in recent years. Position trading can be highly lucrative, works in all kinds of market conditions, and it is an especially strong trading style during choppy sideways markets.
Position Trading is far less risk than Options. If you want to learn how to trade Options you need to know how to Position Trade, because Options are usually 90 day contracts. This means you need to be able to tell when a stock is about to move, how far it can move, and how long it will take to reach the target price. If you are a beginner we recommend that you start with Position Trading, and then once you are consistently successful you can start trading Options. Options are a do or die situation so while you are learning, it is wise to choose a style that will tolerate some mistakes without costing your life savings.
If you are a beginner, a low capital base trader, OR a very busy person who still would like to short term trade for extra income each month then start with Position Trading. Learn to trade with consistent success at

Extreme Pizza hopes to open in the Pentagon City area soon, bringing pizza with offbeat toppings such as mandarin oranges.
"We have extreme flavor profiles," said John Manecke, co-owner of the restaurant who lives in Arlington.
Some of those "extreme pizzas" include the "Ragin' Rooster" with barbecue chicken and red onions, and the "Holy Cow!" with four different kinds of cheeses.
The pizza place will be located at at 1419 S. Fern St., across from the Costco. Manecke hopes to open in March, but said a firm opening date hasn't been set as his team works through permitting and construction issues.
Extreme Pizza is part of a California-based restaurant. It also has a carry-out location in Vienna. The upcoming Arlington restaurant would be the first branch in the region to include a sit-down place to eat and a wine and beer bar, Manecke said.
"Where we are there is a lot of additional development in both office and residential. We like the location a lot," Manecke said.
The restaurant will have promotions for their grand opening.

Enticing Clue players and revelers alike is Plum Bar, the latest incarnation from Daniel Patterson (Coi), opening adjacent to Plum restaurant tonight.The primary weapons here are glasses filled with Scott Beattie's (Cyrus, Spoonbar) fresh fruit and herb gastronomic cocktails. An eight-foot shelf of just these ingredients flanks the bar for optimal potion-making efficiency.Behind that lies the money spot: a secluded nook for twelve, prime for sharing plates from chef Ron Boyd's bar menu (elegant charcuterie, beef tendon chicaronnes, grilled cheese). The entire space oozes an amber glow, with worn poems papering the walls, a woodsy ash bar, and mirrored fixtures adorned with hanging candles.This weekend, we're envisioning you, on a blond stool, with a cocktail in hand.Plum Bar, 2216 Broadway, at Grand Avenue, Oakland (510-444-7586 or plumoakland.com).

Modern General TopologyBy
- J.-I. Nagata
This classic work has been fundamentally revised to take account of recent developments in general topology. The first three chapters remain unchanged except for numerous minor corrections and additional exercises, but chapters IV-VII and the new chapter VIII cover the rapid changes that have occurred since 1968 when the first edition appeared.The reader will find many new topics in chapters IV-VIII, e.g. theory of Wallmann-Shanin's compactification, realcompact space, various generalizations of paracompactness, generalized metric spaces, Dugundji type extension theory, linearly ordered topological space, theory of cardinal functions, dyadic space, etc., that were, in the author's opinion, mostly special or isolated topics some twenty years ago but now settle down into the mainstream of general topology.
Hardbound, 521 Pages
Published: November 1985
Imprint: North-holland
...a distinguished book by a distinguished mathematician. The book is both a literate treatment by a world-class topologist of significant portions of Modern General Topology, and a personal judgemental statement as to what does and what does not deserve to be recorded for posterity. On each count it is a valued addition to the literature.
Zentralblatt für Mathematik
- Basic Concepts in Topological Spaces. Various Topological Spaces. Compact Spaces and Related Topics. Paracompact Spaces and Related Topics. Metrizable Spaces and Related Topics. Topics Related to Mappings. Other Aspects. Epilogue. Bibliography. Index.

Narrow your search
Looking for an e-book reader? You have more choices than ever before--though the number of models we
The Kindle Fire (2012) takes it up a notch in value, but is tethered to the same design oversights of the original.
While the "all-new" Paperwhite may seem like an unspectacular upgrade on the surface, it's a clear improvement over the original Paperwhite and arguably the best e-reader currently available.
With the latest firmware, the Linksys EA6500 makes a decent contender among the handful of its peers.
The Sony PRS-T2 is a perfectly good touch-screen e-reader whose only sin is that it doesn't have any competitive advantages over Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's e-readers.
With an excellent built-in light and Amazon's best-in-class e-book selection, the Kindle Paperwhite rises to the top of the e-reader pack.
The Kindle Touch is Amazon's best e-reader to date.
Kindle for iOS is a rock-solid e-reader for anyone already invested in Amazon's ecosystem, but it's harder to browse and buy books than it is with the native iBooks app.
Pricing not available
Though it lacks the tech specs found on more-expensive Apple and Android tablets, the $199 Kindle Fire is an outstanding entertainment value that prizes simplicity over techno-wizardry.
With convenient features like Send to Kindle and Shelfari integration, Kindle for Android is a rock-solid e-reader app, especially for anyone already invested in the Amazon ecosystem.
Pricing not available
The 2013 Kindle Fire HD works perfectly as an e-reader with a few extra tablet features, but users looking to take full advantage of Amazon's ecosystem should pay more for the Fire HDX.

UCL staff and students score a hat-trick of awards for their social enterprise ideas
5 April 2011
No fewer than four UCL representatives – faculty members Sally MacDonald (UCL Collections) and Dominica D'Arcangelo (Inst of Archaeology) and students Marina Chang (Development Planning unit) and Barbara Soetan (Political Science) – have picked up accolades for their work from UnLtd, a charity that focuses on helping social entrepreneurs to develop their projects and achieve a better social impact.
The HE Social Entrepreneurship Catalyst Awards, administered jointly by UnLtd and the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), were given to Heritage Without Borders (Sally and Dominica), Foodpaths (Marina) and Admin Solutions (Barbara). The awards, worth £3,000 each, are intended to "develop expertise, skills, knowledge base and business support structures in social entrepreneurship and social enterprise activity." Besides financial support, the grant also provides mentoring from experienced individuals.
Heritage Without Borders works in developing countries to build capacity in heritage skills; support heritage projects in situations of poverty, conflict and disaster; and provide valuable work experience for students and professionals in the heritage sector. The award will allow HWB to register as a social enterprise and will contribute to its launch and marketing costs.
Foodpaths is an interactive, collaborative project which works with diverse groups through a range of activities with the common theme of food: growing food and the city; food and cooperatives; food and women; food and health; and food and spirituality. Marina will use the award to set up a community kitchen in an attractive community garden at the Calthorpe Project in the heart of King's Cross.
Admin Solutions is a service that will help to tackle cost-related administrative task issues, such as bookkeeping and filing, for small business and social enterprises, while helping to provide work for students and unemployed young people between the ages of 18 and 25. Barbara will use the money to take her idea beyond concept stage.
Muki Haklay, a UCL Knowledge Transfer Champion and a former recipient of a HESE award for his social enterprise Mapping for Change, says: "What is important about these awards is that they demonstrate that the concept of social entrepreneurship is understood at all levels at UCL. The UnLtd awards will allow these members of the UCL community to develop their ideas further and to turn them to active social enterprises."
Tim Barnes, Executive Director of UCL Advances, the centre for entrepreneurship at UCL, adds: "Many applications are submitted for these awards, so winning means that Heritage Without Borders, Foodpaths and Admin Solutions were all evaluated as useful enterprises. I hope that the support that they will receive will help them grow rapidly in the coming year."

Bob Hoover
Watch him fly!
Bob Hoover was the International Aerobatic Club Hall of Fame inductee for 2009, and we published a feature on him in the January 2010 issue of Sport Aerobatics Magazine. For those of you who missed it, pick up a copy of his book Forever Flying.
From combat flying in Spitfires during World War II to flying chase on the Bell X-1, Bob Hoover had a front-row seat to aviation's heyday. Be sure to click the videos below to get a taste of the kind of flying he performed over the years.
Probably one of Bob's most high-profile deeds came about at the conclusion of the 1966 International Aerobatic Competition held in Moscow at the height of the Cold War. The following excerpt is directly from the prologue of his book Forever Flying:
Strapped securely in the cockpit of the super-sleek Yak-18, I glanced out at the Soviet dignitaries standing on the ramp. They were celebrating their overwhelming victory over the United States in the 1966 International Aerobatic Competition. "I've got a surprise for you, Ivan," I thought as I checked out the instrument panel in the unique Soviet plane.
Despite my years of experience as an accomplished aerobatic pilot, I'd never participated in a formal aerobatic competition. That had made it even more of an honor to be named the non-flying captain of our team.
Unfortunately, I'd experienced ten days of frustration watching the power-packed Yak outduel our nation's finest aerobatic pilots. We'd come out the big loser in the Cold War propaganda battle. Now that the competition was over, the pompous Soviets had agreed to let me, as a courtesy, fly their crown jewel.
Over a million Soviets, and reporters from around the world, were positioned at TushinoAirport in Moscow for the closing ceremonies. I was sure they all expected me to taxi out and take off in a normal fashion. Instead I added full power for takeoff and held the plane close to the ground.
The Yak had plenty of airspeed. I lifted the plane off and raised the nose slightly until the landing gear was up.
Rolling the aerobatic plane, I leveled off upside down and aimed dead center for the thirty-foot-high dike surrounding the airport. It looked as if I were going to blast right through it, but an instant before reaching the dike, I raised the nose of the Yak, leapfrogged the dike, and flew out of sight still upside down.
A smile came to my face. I knew I'd caused confusion on the ground. To stay low and out of sight of the crowd, I rolled the Yak right side up and headed back around the airfield alongside the MoscowRiver below the height of the dike. I was sure everyone would be looking for a fifty-foot-high fireball to blossom somewhere on the other side of the dike from where I had disappeared from sight.
I remained at ground level out of sight until I reached the other side of the airport. Then I turned back toward the dike and rolled the plane upside down again. I could feel the adrenaline rush as I flew down directly in front of the crowd. Then I put the Yak-18 through the same series of pinpoint aerobatic maneuvers that had been demonstrated for so many years at air shows all over the world. It was a delight to fly. No wonder our pilots never had a chance.
I was performing at near ground level even though I was aware that Soviet pilots were not permitted to fly aerobatic maneuvers below three hundred feet. After a touchdown on one wheel, an aileron roll, and a touchdown on the other wheel, I landed the Yak. I was a little nervous about the reception I'd receive from the Soviets, but I'd proven my point. Now everyone would know that the American pilots were just as capable as the Russians and that the plane had made the difference in the competition.
The Soviets immediately took Bob into custody after wresting him from a screaming, adoring mob of Russians. Unlike his capture to the Germans during WWII, he was released without harm this time. Bob Hoover is a living legend.

"Great location, not good value for money."
Nice hotel, but very corporate. I stupidly thought that breakfast was included in the high price for the room. It wasn't. 25 euros per person is a rip off.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Convienent hotel very near to the old town center"
Hotel was clean, staff was attentive, somewhat more of a business hotel feel than resort like.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Close to everything"
Loved this hotel. Very good staff. Comfortable hotel...great bed. Would stay here again. Food in restaurant was delicious.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Not bad"
The hotel staff was very helpful and nice and it is just a few short blocks from the center of town. But this is not a 4 star hotel more like a 3 star. The dining area and buffet breakfast were pleasant. The rooms were acceptable but not inviting. The bathrooms were updated. Parking under the hotel was convenient.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
Good location, facility and service.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Nice hotel with a nice staff!"
We were a mother/ daughter team traveling through the South of France after my daughter's study abroad program. We enjoyed the hotel pool together after sightseeing. The breakfast was quite good as well as the wines at the hotel.Genuine Expedia guest review
"we received a lecture"
We asked for a recommendation for a simple meal out and received a lecture that when on and on...and we never received a recommendation. Called the front desk and got hung up on, twice! I when down to the front desk in person and was told..."sorry, it got busy with other guest" The pool was nice, the rooms clean, the location was good, the service...not […] so good. Overall we felt that it was way over priced. And we don't mind saying this as the service was just silly bad. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Absolutely the best hotel I've ever visited"
From the moment you arrive, you know you are going to enjoy this stay. The hotel is easy to find, in the best location (for walking, for driving throughout the area). The staff are unsurpassed and the restaurant worth visiting numerous times. Breakfast is wonderful as well. I am already planning our next visit and look forward to returning to a magical […] area.

"Beautiful little hotel"
Very stylish hotel with lovely color designed interior. Beds are so comfortable and plush......great location. Service at breakfast was not terrific but the food was good. Nice little outdoor patio and pool area. This hotel is great value for the money and I would definitely stay again. Loved it.Genuine Expedia guest review
"First Time to Aix"
I was quite impressed on my first trip to Aix. The Roi Rene is one of the better hotels in town, but I would only rate it an average of 4...the site was quite convenient and clean, the room was small, the service was good, the food was uneventful...so it was OK, but not an outstanding experience. Later in the trip, I did stay at a few 5 stars, and the […] difference was quite distinct. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
Fabulous place and charming breakfast. Clean rooms, center location , good to walk around.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Wonderful Hotel, Wonderful Location, Truly Grand"
It was too short, but this lovely hotel allowed us to make the best use of our time. The hotel was most elegant, the service was excellent and the restaurant with its delicious and well served food made our stay there a perfect visit in Aix en Provence.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great location at walking distance to everything"
Location is great: a few blocks from noisier part of town, but at walking distance to old city, Cours Mirabeau, Hotel de Ville, Tourist Center, Gare (not TGV but Gare Routiere where shuttles drop you from TGV station and/or Airport). Swimming pool is very good, although not heated. Breakfast is expensive, but one can walk a few minutes to nice bakeries […] and coffee shops near Cours Mirabeau. Bathroom is small, but we saw even smaller particularly in Nice and Paris. So, for Europeas standards, very good. Service is excellent. It seems that the same complex is home to some senior citizens. Highly recommend. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"five to ten minute walking distance from busy town"
The hotel was very clean, modern, and roomy. Five to ten minute walk to center of town. Beautiful pool and breakfast area. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Thursday mornings the town has an amazing street market worth going to.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very nice hotel"
An elegant hotel just a few minutes walk from Aix center. Staff was very helpful. The beds are so comfy it is hard to get up in the morning.our room was small but we got it at a greatly reduced rate so no complaints.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Grand Hotel Rene Aix en Provence"
The food service at this hotel is superb and the hotel is clean and well situated. Somewhat disappointing, however, is the rather small size of the rooms considering the prices charged.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"beautiful lobby"
The lobby and common areas are stunning, so we were surprised that our upgraded room was more like a ship stateroom...quite small & compact, especially the bathroom. Nevertheless, the room was attractive & the bed was comfortable. The included breakfast was sumptuous & the dinning area was gorgeous. The hotel is in an excellent location for visiting […] Aix-En-Provence. The carpet & the walls in our room were in need of refreshing & not quite what one would hope for in a 4 star property. Still I highly recommend the Roi Rene as it really was a lovely property and the amazing breakfast & aesthetically pleasing restaurant made up for any areas that were not quite up to par.

Very good location with nice rooms and a great pool. Really helped make our stay in Aix quite wonderful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"One night in beautiful Aix"
We decided to sped our last night of a two week vacation in the south of France in Aix en Provence and really loved the town before driving the 20 minutes to Marseille Airport. The Grand Hotel Roi Rene is a modernised hotel across the road from the old town and therefore well located and very quiet at night. We would recommend it to anyone visiting […] Aix on business or pleasure. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"comfy beds, good for bussiness trip not for holida"
No view, room is quite small.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel in the centre of Aix en Provence."
Very helpful and attentive staff. The lounge was a pleasant oasis during the heat of the afternoon. We enjoyed sipping a cool drink in comfortable arm chairs. We dined at the hotel once, and they catered for our vege diet beautifully. Would definitely stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
Exspensive breakfastGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great for its location"
The hotel was nice, the room was comfortable and it had all we needed but it wasn't anything special. So we expected more from the breakfast, but then again it was ok and nothing special in the breakfast selection. A slight disappointment was the number of staff available in the morning to clear tables and sit hotel residents. The service was not particularly […] appealing in the restaurant, because the staff were too busy and there were not a lot of them. We had a room service on our last night and ordered the Lobster Risotto. I must say that it was really good and a must try in this hotel. Overall, the ambience and interior design of the hotel were quite pleasing and I would recommend this hotel mainly for its location. It is situated close to Gare Routiere and Cours Mirabeau so transport links are just within reach and centre ville is just a few mins walk away. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Small room for a delixe king"
For the type of room booked it was very tiny you would not be able to swing a cat. This was the reason for the lower rating as with 2 lots of luggage it was difficult to manage. Having paid to get the deluxe room was disappointed. It did have all amenities though and the room service and food was very good.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Lovely Hotel in a Wonderful location"
Wonderful Hotel in a very pretty part of France, Location of Hotel is 5min walk to the centre of town, which had a lovely crafty market on the Sunday. Hotel has its own pool with towels and great waiter service for drinks. Restaurant is good with Breakfast on the terrace. Service at Reception is great, general overall service at this hotel is one of […] the best I have ever seen and I travel monthly. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Great location and good value"
Up market, clean and charming hotel, located close to the best part of Aix-en-ProvenceGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great location"
Stayed two nights in higher standard room and two at lower standard (our choice, actually found the lower class rooms were larger. Only difference was the balcony. Great stay until the last night, arrived back at hotel after 2200hours and a long days touring to find there was no car parking left. Had an early start the next morning (0630). Receptionist […] not too helpful, she drew a line on a map of Aix to show how to get to another parking option, drove around for 30mins with no luck. FInally lucked out when we saw a car leaving the hotel forecourt. Moral to story, park early !! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Central location, but the staff inexperienced."
The classic room felt like a train compartmnet, well designed but small. The hotel staff were inexperienced and gave us an incorrect google information for our trip to Nice, they had us taking an ancient corniche road that took us off the grid. It was very frustrating to be be so misinformed, even after supplying them with the address of our next hotel. The […] location was very nice, even on a bus line and walking distance to the Cours Mirabeau. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great hotel in great location"
Good facilities at this city hotel. Swimming pool and outside areas were well maintained. Food and staff in restaurant were excellent. Would definitely recommend this hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very comfortable"
A very nice hotel with extremely comfortable beds and quiet rooms. Just on the edge of the centre of Aix, so ideally located. We skipped breakfast which seemed very expensive, opting for a cafe nearby. We did eat in the restaurant one evening where the food was not of the highest quality and the service a little too attentive. Overall it was poor value […] for money and you would do better selecting one of the many other eating options available in this beautiful city. Apart from the restaurant, this was a very pleasant place to stay. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Rolig beliggenhet"
Et førsteklasses hotell på alle måter. Komfortable senger, flotte rom av normal størrelse. Uvanlig med separat toalett, men en god løsning. Hotellet fremstår som nyoppusset i delikate farger. Utmerket service. Prøvde ikke restauranten, heller ikke frokosten. Hadde parkering under hotellet, det fungerte fint for oss. Noen få hundre meter å gå til cours […] Mirabeau og et par hundre meter til for å komme til gamlebyen, det tok ikke mange minuttene. Bor gjerne på dette hotellet igjen neste gang vi er i Aix!

NetIRC2 is an easy-to-use .NET IRC client library. It supports all major features relevant to making a chat client or bot. It has full support for synchronization contexts. You can use it from a Windows Forms or WPF GUI thread and chat events will be automatically dispatched, allowing you to completely ignore multithreading. It uses byte arrays internally, so mixed encodings can be handled. The IrcClient class can even be used as a component in the Forms Designer. Because it speeds up connect times with some IRC servers, an Ident server is included as well.
CryptSharp provides a number of password crypt algorithms: BCrypt, MD5 (and Apache's htpasswd variant), PHPass (WordPress, phpBB, Drupal), SHA256, SHA512, and Traditional and Extended DES. It also includes Blowfish, SCrypt, and PBKDF2 for any HMAC (.NET's built-in PBKDF2 implementation supports only SHA-1).

PHP GUI API is a package that renders HTML pages composed programmatically. It is designed in a similar fashion to Java's GUI package, but it is for HTML components rather than desktop applications. It consists of a set of classes that wrap around several types of HTML page components and CSS elements that can be composed and configured programmatically to generate whole pages. The classes render the page by generating HTML for each element and the contained elements. It provides classes for wrapping paragraphs, divisions (div), input fields, forms, tables, images, links, etc.
Template Data Interface (TDI, /ʹtedɪ/) is a markup templating system written in Python with (optional but recommended) speedup code written in C. Unlike most templating systems, TDI does not invent its own language to provide functionality. Instead, you simply mark the nodes you want to manipulate within the template document. The template is parsed, and the marked nodes are presented to your Python code, where they can be modified in any way you want.
libunibreak is an implementation of the line breaking and word breaking algorithms as described in Unicode Standard Annex 14 and Unicode Standard Annex 29. It is a superset of, and supersedes, liblinebreak. It is designed to be used in a generic text renderer. FBReader is one real-world example.
fundest is a C/C++ library for robust, non-linear fundamental matrix estimation. The fundamental matrix is a singular 3x3 matrix which relates corresponding points in two views according to the epipolar constraint. fundest computes an estimate which minimizes an appropriate non-linear cost function defined on matching points (currently either Sampson error or symmetric distance of points from their epipolar lines) and includes robust regression techniques for coping with outliers (i.e., mismatched point pairs).

Valley City students gather thousands of pounds of food for area pantriesValley City, ND (WDAY TV) - The inspiration to fill hungry stomachs this holiday season is spreading 60 miles west. Students throughout Barnes County have gathered thousands of pounds of food and packed it up for area food pantries.
Hundreds of eager hands, Valley City pre-teens, and high schoolers were in a fun-filled frenzy. A specific stock-piling mission: Pack up roughly 10-thousand cans and cardboard boxes.
ALISON: "After 10 years of "Stuff the Truck" program, we kind of thought let's take the idea of "Fill the Dome" and fly with it."
"We came up with the name "Pack the HAC" and we coined that term and it has a nice ring to it."
ALLISON: "And it's a great way to fill the Barnes County food pantry because they are running very low on their foods and stuff."
This first time boxing-up bonanza may be a smaller version from that about an hour east, but it has just as much dedication, energy, and love behind the donated boxes. Each one tallied and hauled out to a distribution truck; all in less than 30 minutes.
ALISON: "We have filled almost a basketball court and that is huge for the base that we've got! "We wanted to make this year all out and we hope to continue the momentum!"
All the donations from the three school districts will go straight to the Barnes County Food Pantry. At Valley City High School alone, about 28-hundred food items were brought in.

Golden Guest Memories
Mirror Lake Memories
The West Family - August 2011
It's not every day that a person asks someone if they would like to do a "Triple Dog Dare"! But two summers ago, I was asked by the Golden Arrow if I would like to do one. My attachment to Mirror Lake had caught their interest. It all started several years ago with my love for swimming in the lake. I knew that many folks compete in "triathlons" and "The Ironman" in Mirror Lake, but I wanted something non-competitive. So one day while at the ocean I bought a bright yellow boogie board and this became my Mirror Lake toy. Like a child looks forward to "playtime" I look forward to "my swim"! Everyday while on vacationI take my board, put it in the water, take a moment to reflect (and to get use to the cool water lapping at my feet!) then I ease down onto the board and off I go! For an hour and a half-it's just me, my thoughts, and heaven on earth, as I swim the two mile plus perimeter around the lake. And during this swim I drink in the most breathtaking scenery imaginable! I take in the shoreline and all the unique homes; folks wave and call from boats and land; the water splashes (depending on the day and the winds) and I am so alive! The smells from town fill the air and as I paddle along I dream of all their flavors! I listen and seek the mysterious loon that sails eloquently about. And my eyes fix upon the domineering Whiteface Mountain and the smaller foothills that surround the lake. And I am at one with nature and all its magnificence. I dare you to enjoy my adventure—in fact, I "Triple Dog Dare" you!
- Carol W.
Dawn on Mirror Lake
a poem by guest Rick B. (7-19-2011)
I sat beneath a weathered birch
Watched the morning fog give way
Listened to a lonesome loon
Greet the start of a new day
Solitude from the mountain peaks
Touching those that come in search
A peace that rises from the lake
Is time spent in natures church
February 2012
My husband, Dan and I would like to thank you so very much for the lovely bag filled with wonderful "items" to make our stay and trip home enjoyable. We found our return trip to the Golden Arrow, after 40 years of marriage, as enjoyable as in 1972! The town in certainly lovely, our room, truly special, and everyone at the front desk, hospitable and gracious! Thank you again!
Sincerely, Linda F.
October 2011
"This place is one of the friendliest I have ever been to. After a 5 hour drive from NYC I got in late, was tired and just wanted to go to bed. The nice man behind the desk could not have made it easier for me to check in and get to my room to the bed he could see I was dying for.
The next morning after a huge cheap breakfast at the restaurant, the girl at the desk helped me plan out my whole trip telling my what to do and more importantly what not to do. She also filled me in on some local secrets. The staff there is the best resource you can find and they are just dying to make your stay the best."
Anonymous-(Travelpod Blog Site)
We want to thank everyone at the Golden Arrow for making our stay amazing. We got married with an absolutely gorgeous view of Mirror Lake and the mountains!! We had a great room and service has been perfect!! Thanks again for making this a memorable couple of days. We are looking forward to coming back to see you all!!-Valerie B. (Facebook)
February 2011
What did you like most about Golden Arrow?: This was first stay in the area and I was fortunate to be accompanied by my sister and her husband who's been coming to Golden Arrow with a Westinghouse(now Northrop Grumman) contigent for a long time. The hotel has easy access parking, located downtown close to shops, employees helpful, beautiful views from our rooms, main lodge sitting area is spacious & great views, relaxing hot tubs & pool, you couldn't find a bad meal in their restaurant, except for my roommates snoring the rooms were quiet. Make you way to Saranac Lake for their Ice Castle. Make time I believe on Wednesdays for the toboggon ride it was a blast, my sister, niece and I closed it down...I glade I took some video to remember the great time we had as we slid down and across frozen Mirror Lake. I can't wait to go back and visit the same and new attractions. Oh, by the way Whiteface is fantastic.

"Location is fabulous, short walk to every restaurant, Olympic attraction and the movie theatre. We skiied Whiteface and coming back to the underground garage and warming up with cocoa and cookies in the lobby was very welcoming. When we checked out my daughter left her teddy in the room. They found it, called us and then Fed Ex'd the bear to us. They didnt have to go the extra mile but they did. We cant wait to return"
- SueSheenNY (TripAdvisor)

The hotel property is great. The staff is great as well. The location is awesome. Their parking garage, which I didn't even know they had, as it's hidden under the building, is very convenient.- SmolderingBob (TripAdvisor)
I recently had the pleasure of a short stay in your hotel with two other realtors from Canada. We couldn't say enough about the tremendous service we received from the time we checked in until we left ! Your staff is wonderful.
I wanted to go out to take a bobsled run on Wednesday and when they phoned the cab company they were told there was no taxis available. They immediately said they would get me a ride and arrange to have me picked up ! That was way above and beyond my expectations.
We will definitely be staying at the Golden Arrow and so will our friends. We all ski and ride Harleys so we are year round customers.
Congratulations on running a first class establishment.
Best regards,
-Murray O. (March 2012)

Aakash Aath won't air Taslima's project
Kolkata, Dec 19 : Recently launched television channel GEC (General Entertainment Channel) Aakash Aath on Thursday said it deferred the telecast of mega serial 'Dusahobas', the first ever television project based on the works of noted writer and feminist Taslima Nasreen.
"Although Aakash Aath is willing and is ready to commence the telecast of Dusahobas today at 10pm as was envisaged but due to reasons beyond the purview and control of Aakash Aath we may be forced to defer the telecast of this serial indefinitely," said a spokesperson of Aakash Aath.
"Please note that this serial was based on 'Women Empowerment' and had nothing to do with any religion or community whatsoever. Kindly bear with us and keep watching the channel for further updates on this serial," he said.
The programme was to be premiered on Thursday at 10 pm on Aakash Aath and be aired every week from Monday to Saturday at the same time thereafter.
The story indulges in portraying the protesting spirit of a woman rather than bringing forth the darker side of women tolerating the atrocities showered upon them.
"It talks about chivalrous women, women who fight back rather than she who patiently stand oppression," Taslima had said revealing the storyline.
Speaking on the occasion Taslima said, "Television is perhaps the most popular mass medium of today and this remains the sole opportunity for me to reach the people of Bengal. As a writer I don't need to stay there in person, all I need is to dwell in the minds of people through my creations."
"The shooting for the serial started years back when I used to stay in Kolkata around 2006-07. But the sudden turn of events following the political move in asking me to abandon the soils of Bengal, had unfortunately held up all efforts in the making of the serial," she added.

What can I do to prevent whooping cough?
Vaccination against whooping cough is part of the normal early childhood shots and boosters that children get before grade school. Children aren't adequately protected until they've had at least three shots, which is why very young children are more at-risk. A total of 5 shots is recommended for children by age 6. Protection from the childhood whooping cough vaccines begins to wear off 5-10 years after vaccination.
Health experts, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Family Physicians, recommend that most teens and adults get the Tdap booster vaccination for continued protection against whooping cough if they have not been vaccinated or if their shots are not up to date. Ask your doctor to make sure your vaccinations are up to date.
