With more dairies disappearing from Southern California and a shrinking milk supply to serve processing plants in that region, dairy farmers and their cooperatives say they are now moving their raw product much longer distances at greater cost to accommodate those markets.
"We have been deficit in milk production relative to our customers' needs for quite some time," said Eric Erba, senior vice president and chief strategy officer of California Dairies Inc., the state's largest dairy cooperative. "It's just that now instead of being able to pull milk from, say, southern Kern County to satisfy all the customers' needs, we're having to pull it from occasionally northern Tulare County."
He noted the cooperative has lost a number of dairies in Southern California, but its customers are requiring at least as much milk as they used to. Meanwhile, there are no new dairies being developed or planned south of Kern County, where the milk deficit is.
Since dairy farmers typically pay the cost of hauling their milk to the plant, their inclination has been to ship to plants closer in vicinity, leaving plants in urban centers such as the Los Angeles basin with an inadequate milk supply, said Michael Marsh, CEO of Western United Dairymen.
Historically, plants that bottle fluid milk or make products such as yogurt, cottage cheese and ice cream—that is, milk going to higher-value uses—tend to be located in areas with larger populations, while manufacturing plants that produce butter, cheese and dried milk powders—the lower-value uses—tend to operate where the milk supply is, Erba said.
Under the state's current milk-pooling system, milk-sales revenues are distributed equitably among producers in the pool, removing the economic incentive for producers to ship milk to those higher-value uses—or Class 1, 2 and 3. To ensure plants in deficit markets have a reliable milk supply, transportation allowances were created to partially compensate producers for the cost of hauling milk to those plants.
These allowances—which apply only to plants receiving Class 1, 2 and 3 milk—are taken out of the producers' revenue pool at an annual cost of about $27 million, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
Erba said California Dairies Inc. currently serves 12 to 15 customers in Southern California. It is using more of its transportation allowances to cover the longer hauls, and the available funds are not enough, he said. For this reason, the cooperative has asked CDFA to consider changing the current rates to bring them into better alignment with what it calculates to be the actual cost of milk movement.
The CDI proposal is one of three the department has agreed to consider in a public hearing on April 4. The original hearing request actually came from Wallaby Yogurt Co. in Napa County, a region that's currently not eligible to receive the transportation allowance. The organic yogurt processor is asking CDFA to include Napa County in the allowance program, since it competes for milk with other plants in the North Bay that do qualify for the allowances.
Marsh said the program historically has been "widely supported by producers" even though it reduces the pool prices they receive, because producers want their milk to go to higher uses, which ultimately bring in more revenue to the pool.
"They also want to make sure it's California milk going to those plants versus milk from Arizona or Nevada," he said.
Rob Vandenheuvel, general manager of the Milk Producers Council in Ontario, said while dairy farmers support the concept of the program, they also want to ensure the closest milk ends up moving into those urban areas first.
"When you set these rates and mileage brackets, it's always possible that you've now created an incentive where perhaps it makes more sense for milk to come from farther away," he said.
He also said he believes processors should share in the cost of funding the transportation allowance. The council had submitted its own proposal to CDFA to include such a concept, but CDFA declined the proposal.
The last time the department held a hearing on the transportation allowance was in 2008 to address surging fuel costs. It later approved a 20 percent across-the-board increase to all rates.
"We might not like the system we have—and I'll be the first to admit that it's not working the way it was originally conceived," Erba said. "It's getting to be much more expensive, but that's because when it was originally conceived, I don't think anybody projected that we'd be moving milk as far as we are right now—or that the cost of fuel would be close to where it is now."
Attracting enough milk to supply fluid plants was also less of a concern in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when use of Class 1 milk hovered near 65 percent of California's total milk production, according to CDFA. Today, Class 1 utilization is about 15 percent, while almost three-quarters of the state's production is used in cheese, butter and dry milk products.
Erba, Marsh and Vandenheuvel all agree it is highly unlikely for any of the Southern California plants to move closer to where the milk source is, as they are multi-million dollar investments that are already working assets. Trying to get a permit anywhere in California to build a new plant is a difficult and lengthy process, Marsh added.

Christmas Eve on Sesame Street: Through the Eyes of a Younger Generation
I was born in 1989. Twenty years after the premiere of Sesame Street; although I'm fortunate enough to have grown up during what is considered the tail-end of the classic/old school era (before 1993), I never really saw any true old school Sesame for quite some time. As a matter of fact, when I was a baby, in addition to television episodes of the time, the oldest I had seen of the show was the My Sesame Street Home Video series from the mid and late 80s... that is until a long-distant friend of mine sent me a wonderful present for Christmas 2002--a VHS of the 1978 special Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
The special ends with Big Bird stepping out onto the street, to the relief of the other residents, happy to see he's back, while a reprise of "Keep Christmas With You (All Through the Year)" is sung. As everyone goes home for the night, and Big Bird and Patty enjoy the giant Christmas tree in the middle of the arbor, Gordon and Susan come home to find that Cookie Monster has eaten their tree: "Scotch Pine delicious, but Douglas Fir give me heartburn!"

Mark Wahlberg doesn't pull his punches these days, and he's decided to come forward and explain just why his Planet of the Apes movie wasn't as good as James Franco's. But who does he blame?
In an interview with MTV Wahlberg went after Fox for rushing the script and production:
"I haven't seen it yet, but I heard it was pretty damn good. Well, ours wasn't. It is what it is. Ours wasn't. They didn't have the script right. [Fox Studios] had a release date before [Tim Burton] had shot a foot of film. They were pushing him and pushing him in the wrong direction. You have got to let Tim do his thing."
Ah well, at least he doesn't seem too bent out of shape about it. Here's the full interview where he continues to talk about working with Burton on the Apes picture.

WASHINGTON—Open your notebooks and sharpen your pencils. School for thousands of public school students is about to get quite a bit longer.
Five states announced Monday that they will add at least 300 hours of learning time to the calendar in some schools starting in 2013. Colorado, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York and Tennessee will take part in the initiative, which is intended to boost student achievement and make U.S. schools more competitive on a global level.
The three-year pilot program will affect almost 20,000 students in 40 schools, with long-term hopes of expanding the program to include additional schools—especially those that serve low-income communities. Schools, working in concert with districts, parents and teachers, will decide whether to make the school day longer, add more days to the school year or both.
All told, education officials expect to provide nearly 6 million more student learning hours next year.
"I'm convinced the kind of results we'll see over the next couple of years I think will compel the country to act in a very different way," said Education Secretary Arne Duncan.
A mix of federal, state and district funds will cover the costs of expanded learning time, with the Ford Foundation and the National Center on Time & Learning also chipping in resources. In Massachusetts, the program builds on the state's existing expanded-learning program. In Connecticut, Gov. Dannel Malloy is hailing it as a natural outgrowth of an education reform law the state passed in May that included about $100 million in new funding, much of it to help the neediest schools.
Spending more time in the classroom, officials said, will give students access to a more well-rounded curriculum that includes arts and music, individualized help for students who fall behind and opportunities to reinforce critical math and science skills.
"That extra time with their teachers or within a structured setting means all the world," said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper. "It means it allows them to continue the momentum they had the day before. It means they don't slip back over the summer. It allows them to really deliver."
The project comes as educators across the U.S. struggle to identify the best ways to strengthen a public education system that many fear has fallen behind other nations. Student testing, teacher evaluations, charter schools and voucher programs join longer school days on the list of reforms that have been put forward with varying degrees of success.
The report from the center, which advocates for extending instruction time, cites research suggesting students who spend more hours learning perform better. One such study, from Harvard economist Roland Fryer, argues that of all the factors affecting educational outcomes, two are the best predictors of success: intensive tutoring and adding at least 300 hours to the standard school calendar.
More classroom time has long been a priority for Duncan, who warned a congressional committee in May 2009—just months after becoming education secretary—that American students were at a disadvantage compared to their peers in India and China. That same year, he suggested schools should be open six or seven days per week and should run 11 or 12 months out of the year.
"I think this is the kernels of a national movement," he said Monday as he announced the initiative.
But not everyone agrees that shorter school days are to blame. A report last year from the National School Boards Association's Center for Public Education disputed the notion that American schools have fallen behind in classroom time, pointing out that students in high-performing countries like South Korea, Finland and Japan actually spend less time in school than most U.S. students.
The broader push to extend classroom time could also run up against concerns from teachers unions. Longer school days became a major sticking point in a seven-day teachers strike in September in Chicago. Mayor Rahm Emanuel eventually won an extension of the school day but paid the price in other concessions granted to teachers.
Just over 1,000 U.S. schools already operate on expanded schedules, an increase of 53 percent over 2009, according to a report being released Monday in connection with the announcement by the National Center on Time & Learning. The nonprofit group said more schools should follow suit but stressed that expanded learning time isn't the right strategy for every school.
Some of the funds required to add 300 or more hours to the school calendar will come from shifting resources from existing federal programs, making use of the flexibility granted by waivers to No Child Left Behind. All five states taking part in the initiative have received waivers from the Education Department.

Rachel Botchan, Bradford Cover Lead The Pearl's THE PHILANDERER
THE Pearl Theatre Company (J.R. Sullivan, Artistic Director) announces the casting for Bernard Shaw's playful satire, THE PHILANDERER. The witty comedy of a man-about-town and the two women in his life includes five members of The Pearl's Resident Acting Company and three guest artists. The new production will be directed by Gus Kaikkonen (director of The Pearl's 2009 production of Tartuffe and the 2005 production of The Gentleman Dancing-Master) and begins previews January 10, 2012 at New York City Center Stage II.
THE PHILANDERER cast features five members of The Pearl's Resident Acting Company. Rachel Botchan (Grace Tranfield), a member of the company since 2000, and was seen this season at The Pearl in the critically acclaimed The Bald Soprano and recently at Two River Theater Company in Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Bradford Cover (Leonard Charteris), a company member since 1996, has performed regionally and on Broadway in the 2001 revival of A Thousand Clowns and also in The Pearl's The Bald Soprano. Dominic Cuskern (Mr. Cuthbertson), a member of the company since 2000, can currently be seen in The Pearl's Richard II, and appeared last season in The Misanthrope, Rosmersholm, and The Sneeze. Dan Daily (Colonel Craven), a Pearl company member since 1998, was also featured in The Bald Soprano and has appeared off-Broadway with The New Group, Keen Company, and Classic Stage Company. Chris Mixon (Dr. Paramore), the newest Pearl company member, is appearing in Richard II as Thomas Mowbray and Earl of Northumberland and was seen last season in Wittenberg. He has been seen regionally at the Denver Center Theatre Company, Two River Theater Company, and the Utah Shakespeare Festival.
Joining THE PHILANDERER cast are three guest actors. Shalita Grant (Sylvia Craven) is making her debut with The Pearl and has appeared in Shakespeare in the Park's productions of Measure for Measure, The Winter's Tale, and The Merchant of Venice. Karron Graves (Julia Craven), a Pearl newcomer, has been seen on Broadway in Coram Boy and off-Broadway at Lincoln Center Theater and Manhattan Theatre Club. Her film credits include "The Crucible," with Daniel Day-Lewis and television appearances on "Law & Order" and "Monk." Chris Richards (Page Boy) will be making his Pearl mainstage debut after being a part of the Pearl's Acting Apprentice program last season. He has also appeared regionally at the Ohio Shakespeare Festival and Great Lakes Theater.
A social satire once considered too shocking for the general public (withheld twelve years before censors allowed a performance), Shaw's play follows the misadventures of Leonard Charteris, whose simultaneous involvement with two women wreaks havoc on his social life while sharpening his wit. Reputedly a self-portrait, the comedy is a satire on Shaw's own pet causes, intellectual freedom in the Ibsenite manner, and Feminism as celebrated in the Shavian manner.
The Pearl Theatre Company is dedicated to playing a vital role in the cultural life of New York City and its surrounding region by creating productions that examine, explore, and illuminate the human condition. The Pearl is an artistic home for a diverse company of theatre professionals, especially a core company of resident actors. The Pearl provides engagement opportunities that both educate and enrich the experiences of artists, students, and audiences. Last season, The Pearl received a 2011 Lortel Award nomination for best revival (for The Misanthrope), and a special 2011 Drama Desk Award for "notable productions of classic plays and nurturing a stalwart resident company of actors."
The Pearl is supported, in part, by public funds from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. Additionally, The Pearl receives major support from the Fund for the City of New York, the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust, Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Shubert Foundation, and the Gladys Krieble Delmas Foundation.
RICHARD II by William Shakespeare is currently playing at City Center Stage II through December 24, 2011. Following THE PHILANDERER, The Pearl's season concludes with A MOON FOR THE MISBEGOTTEN by Eugene O'Neill beginning in March.
Subscription packages for the season are still available. For subscription tickets and information, please visit www.pearltheatre.org or contact 212-598-9802.
Single tickets are currently on sale through NYCityCenter.org and CityTix® at 212-598-1212. Tickets are also available at the New York City Center box office (located on West 55th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues).

Welcome to MadModder!
Hello kayzed1I have an '99 F650ST (the one with the rotax 650 single engine) and I have a '08 F650GS ( the one with the 800 twin engine). The ST tends to spend much of its time in the garage because I prefer the GS, but I can't bring myself around to getting rid of the STMartin
Thanks for all of the welcomes peoplePekka. The ZebraDriver comes from an old Land Rover that I used to own, it was painted in zebra stripes. I used this as a forum name on a land rover forum a long time ago and it's kind of stuck.

|Massive waves pounding the harbour walls January 2014
|Stormy seas coupled with high tides Feb 2014
The harbour at Mullion Cove takes the full force of the sea and over the years the Trust has spent significant sums in maintenance and repair of the harbour walls, including over a million pounds during the 1990s. Looking to an uncertain future with increased frequency and strength of storms and rising sea levels as a result of climate change, the Trust commissioned a study in 2004 into the future of the harbour which looked at its structure, what climate change could mean for it and was steered by a stakeholder group which included users of the harbour, members of the local community, statutory organisations and other harbour managers. The study showed that the harbour was in better condition than we thought, but that at some time in the future a storm or series of storms could do such damage that repair or maintenance would not be viable in the future.
|Paving setts, ripped from the walls, were dumped in the harbour
There was some respite in the weather between the storms and during that time Trust staff, volunteers and harbour users got stuck in and were able to salvage some of the granites at low tide.
|Salvaged setts stacked beyond the seas reach
|Damage to the south wall caused on the 5th February
Unfortunately to little avail as the storm of the 5th of February tore into the harbour and took more granites out of the western breakwater and inflicted some significant damage to the southern breakwater which we have not been able to assess yet. Our engineers are on standby for a period of calm weather when they will be able to see what damage has occurred before we will be able to make any decisions about the next steps to take.
|The harbour walls are currently closed because of the stormy seas

Kenda-Felt team will ride carbon fiber Nine Series bikes at major North American mountain bike events
Irvine, CA (February 9, 2010) – Felt Bicycles has partnered with Kenda USA to become the official bike for the Kenda-Felt team in 2010. The team's four riders -Colin Cares, Amanda Carey, Judy Freeman and Andy Schultz- will compete in a variety of national and international cross-country and endurance events. The riders will have their choice of several different Felt models including the Nine Team, Felt's flagship carbon fiber 29-inch hardtail.
"I'm really excited to be racing for Felt," said Schultz, the 2005 U.S. Under-23 National Champion from Tucson, Arizona. "Felt has a great pedigree in racing and a history of sponsoring great racers. I'm honored to have this company's support."
Cares, who lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado, is the current Under-23 U.S. National Champion. Carey, of Victor, Idaho, focuses on ultra-endurance racing and finished second at the prestigious Leadville 100 in Colorado in 2007 and 2009. Freeman, a new recruit to the Kenda-Felt team, is coming off a stellar 2009 season in which she represented the USA at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Australia.
Schultz and his teammates will target the Pro XCT series and other premier off-road events in North America. The team's diverse roster reflects the broad range of endurance events that make up the current competitive cross-country landscape. From short-track to ultra-endurance races and festivals, Kenda-Felt will have a presence.
"Our partnerships with teams like Garmin-Transitions as well as top-tier Olympic triathletes and others have helped put Felt bikes at the forefront of people's minds in those disciplines," said company namesake Jim Felt. "And we're happy to be expanding our support in off-road racing, where we have some incredible new products coming to market."
Among those products are the Nine Series bikes, Felt's 29-inch wheel hardtails, which have gained a major following among endurance racers. "I think the Nine will be the weapon of choice for Leadville," said Cares.
"Felt is on the cutting edge of carbon frame technology and I'm really looking forward to riding the Nine Team bike for most of my races next year," added Schultz. "The research Felt has done to achieve the optimal geometry for a 29-inch bike, and the use of UHM carbon fiber in the frame, is sure to make it one of the fastest bikes on the race scene."
In addition to the Nine Series bikes, Kenda-Felt riders will be involved with the development and prototype testing of a new, yet-to-be-named Felt carbon fiber full-suspension XC bike, which is targeted for 2011 consumer availability.
"Felt bicycles are the perfect platform for the complete range of Kenda tires." says Jim Wannamaker, North American Marketing Director for Kenda USA. "Our 29" Nevegal , Karma and Small Block 8 tires will give our athletes plenty of options for their new rigs, while the new Slant Six will be available for 26" and 29" applications later this year."
The Kenda-Felt team is owned and managed by Quick Release Racing, Inc., of Ann Arbor Michigan. Kenda USA manufactures a complete line of tire products covering every facet of the sport. Other team sponsors include Wick Werks, cranks and chain-rings; The Hayes Bicycle Group, which will supply Stroker brakes, Black Flag wheels, Manitou R7 MRD forks and S-Type shocks; Voler team kits; Pearl Izumi shoes; SDG saddles; Uvex helmets Finish Line lubrication products; and the Joan C. Banfield Foundation of Dexter, Michigan, which will host the team for a number of clinics targeting health and wellness in the school system.

If you happen to run into "What to Expect When You're Expecting" actress Anna Kendrick yourself, you can save the graphic childbirth stories for someone else.
It turns out that Kendrick – who co-stars as one of the expectant moms in the film inspired by the self-help bestseller alongside Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks and Brooklyn Decker – finds herself more a little freaked out by TMI tales like the ones Diaz shared at the film's press conference about being present during live births. But after the wince-inducing stories, Kendrick was less labored when chatting with PopcornBiz.
After seeing your reaction to Cameron's horrifying stories, I'm surprised you're willing to be alone with a man in a room at all.
Ha! Yeah – just in case. That's super-gross. It does not make me want to have children. None of this has made me want to have children. A lot of people have been asking if this movie makes me want to have children, and no, not at all.
Because of the subject matter of this movie, were people on set, from the stars to the grips, talking more openly about their pregnancy stories?
What was interesting was how every woman thought that their input on the physical aspects of what you would be going through at this point was the right thing. Everyone was different, but it was funny to see all these women be, like, 'No – When I was pregnant this was happening.' It was like, 'Ladies, we're all different. It's totally fine. It's okay. We've got a midwife here who's the expert. We can ask her.' I think it's something that women are very protective about and want to feel like they're the experts of or something. It's a weird dynamic, to sort of be breaking up arguments over what my breast tenderness would be at this point in my character's arc.
With an ensemble cast like this, did you get bummed out that everyone was mostly working in their own little corner of the movie?
Of course! I would've loved to have worked with some of the dudes group. Obviously they're incredible. I got to do a photo shoot with all the ladies in the main cast, which is something that no woman should ever have go through because they're so insanely gorgeous. It's like they come from a different planet. But that was really fascinating, just being able to sit and watch Jennifer and Cameron just hang out and get their hair touched up before doing the photos and stuff. Whatever they're taking, I want it. It's like, 'How are you doing that?' So, yeah, obviously it would've been fun to have been on set more with those ladies. Now it's sort of seeing how everyone got along and going, 'Did you like your guy?' My guy was great!'
How is life now after all the spotlight of the Oscar nomination for 'Up In the Air?' Since then you've been able to make some more movies and go back to a normal acting career. What's been the transition from that time to going back to business?
I think following that particular experience, it felt like there was so much pressure to choose the right thing, or the next right thing, with very little thought on my part about what I would actually like to do. It's been nice to settle into choosing things because I think that they're going to be fun and fulfilling and not thinking about, like, 'Oh, is this the right thing to do after coming off of that?'...The funny thing is the amount of stuff that I would get offered and think, 'They don't need me to do this. This is easy and the character doesn't really grow or change and she's just sort of my character from "Up in the Air," at the beginning of the movie. She's not really an important character. Why would they want me to do this?' And then thinking, 'Oh, because it was just an easy decision for them.' It's like, 'Oh, get that girl who did exactly this thing in that other movie.' So that was a weird thing to get my head around, that people were offering me things based on what would make their lives easy as opposed to what would be something exciting for me, or something that I would be good at...That's also been another thing about a little time passing: It's easier for people to see me as something else because that vision is not so fresh in their heads.
Are you interested in doing all kinds of movies – superhero, Westerns, horror – or is there a territory that you want to stake out in?
There's a pretty big dorky part of me that wants to do all the kind of various genres and check off some kind of bucket list, but I would say that mostly I'm just interested in more vulnerable characters. I just played a really lazy, dirty character in 'Get A Job.' She doesn't really start out that way, but I would do that for the rest of my career.. That was really fun. I hope to do that as often as possible.
Do you like characters that are a little further away from you, or do you like them be just an alternate life away from who you are?
Well, I might be doing, hopefully, something that wouldn't go until next year because the director is working on something right now, but it's sort of so similar to me that it sort of scares me – in a good way. But it is so close to home that I'm really looking forward to having that nervous feeling, I guess. So I can't wait to do that.
Simulated sex on the hood of a car. How did that go for you?
It hurts. It's so bad. I literally tried to take a picture of the bruise on my butt, but I kept deleting it because I was like, 'No, you can still tell that that's a butt.' It was so painful. My butt and thighs were so bruised from just doing that. We tried to make it look sexy. Chace's [Crawford] face is like full-on Clint Eastwood stubble. It cut me up. It was like sandpaper. It was not cute.
So, really, the message of this film is to not have sex on the hood of a car –
--with Chase Crawford. And especially his razor stubble.
Everyone has a unique takeaway from shooting each film. What's yours from 'What to Expect…?'
I tried fried chicken for the first time!
For the first time? That's crazy!
I know, that's insane, right? How did I make it all this time without having fried chicken? And had famous fried chicken from Atlanta and it was life-changing. It literally just never…I don't know. You just have a mental block on certain things. I never order salmon because one time my mom had salmon when I was a kid and it smelled weird to me and so I just never get it – but I'm sure it's great. I guess I must have just had some weird mental block. It just never occurred to me to ever eat it.

I hope he is great but the issue I have is this blanket that is over every Tebow fans eyes. Skip Bayless is by far the worst, because of this Tebow thing I won't listen to a word he says. When Denver is winning it's all Tebow, everyone acts like he won despite the rest of the team, and when they lose it's everyone elses fault. If you look at the games the reason he was able to win those games is because the defense kept it close and they had a great rushing game.
I'm all for people getting chances, I believe to truly evaluate a QB in the NFL you need 2 or 3 seasons. The Tebow thing has gotten out of hand because peopletalk like he is an elite QB if you look at his stats he isn't even close. He ranks in the bottom five (I believe) in QBR and near bottom in completion percentage. If any other QB had those stats they would be benched.
As far as the Eli and Stafford comparison goes, I don't think he deserves to even be mentioned in the same sentence as Eli yet. I don't believe he is better or close to either of those QBs YET. I agree that those two have better weapons but even given their receiving cores I don't think that Tebow would get close to them in production.
Now all that being said I do believe he has the intangibles it takes to be a great QB. If he can work on his accuracy, vision, and mechanics he has the potential to be a real solid QB.

Better to Buy From a Single Integrated Vendor
Visits (13018)
In his blog post, [The Lure of Kit-Cars], fellow blogger Chuck Hollis (EMC) uses an excellent analogy delineating the differences between kit-cars you build from parts, versus fully-integrated systems that you can drive off the car dealership showroom lot. The analogy holds relatively well, as IT departments can also build their infrastructure from parts, or you can get fully-integrated systems from a variety of vendors.
Certainly, this debate is not new. In my now infamous 2007 post [Supermarkets and Specialty Shops], I explained that there were clients that preferred to get their infrastructure from a single IT supermarket, like IBM or HP, while others were lured into thinking that buying separate parts from butchers, bakers and candlestick makers and other specialty shops was somehow a better idea.
Chuck correctly explains that in the early years of the automobile industry, before major car manufacturers had mass-production assembly lines, putting a car together from parts was the only way cars were made. Today, only the few most avid enthusiasts build cars this way. The majority get cars from a single seller and drive away. In my post [Resolving the Identity Crisis], I postulated that EMC appeared to be trying to shed itself of the "disk-only specialty shop" image and over to be more like IBM. Not quite a full IT Supermarket, but perhaps more like a [Trader Joe's] premium-priced retailer.
(If you find that EMC's focus on integrated systems appears to be a 180-degree about-face from their historical focus on selling individual best-of-breed products, see my previous discussion of Chuck's contradictions in my blog post: [Is Storage the Next Confusopoly].)
While companies like EMC might be making this transition, there is a lot of resistance and inertia from the customer marketplace. I agree with Chuck, companies should not be building kit-cars or IT infrastructures from parts, certainly not from parts sold from different vendors. In my post [Talking about Solutions not Products], I explained how difficult it was to change behavior. CIOs, IT directors and managers need to think differently about their infrastructure. Let's take a quick look at some choices:
Before he earned his PhD in Mechanical Engineering, my father was a car mechanic. I spent much of my teenage years covered in grease, helping my father assembling cars, lifting engines, and rebuilding carburetors. Certainly this was good father-son time, and I certainly did learn something in the process. Like the automobile industry, the IT industry has matured, and it makes no financial sense to build your own IT infrastructure from parts from different vendors.
For a test drive of the industry's leading integrated IT systems, see your IBM sales rep or IBM Business Partner.

NOAA has agreed to conduct a status review to determine if Puget Sound's killer whales should remain on the Endangered Species List.
The agency received a petition from the Pacific Legal Foundation, which claims that the three Southern Resident pods should be considered just a part of a larger population of orcas. According to the PLF, the Southern Residents do not meet the legal definition of "species" that qualifies them for listing:
"The term 'species' includes any subspecies of fish or wildlife or plants, and any distinct population segment of any species of vertebrate fish or wildlife which interbreeds when mature."
The 62-page PLF petition (PDF 384 kb) — filed on behalf of three parties, including California farmers — argues from a carefully constructed legal analysis that says NOAA should never have listed the Southern Residents in the first place.
When I first read the petition in August, I believed it was just an effort to rehash the legal arguments that NOAA went through during the listing process, following a federal court order in 2003. But NOAA apparently sees things differently, according to a news release issued yesterday:
"NOAA said the petition presents new information from scientific journal articles about killer whale genetics, addressing issues such as how closely related this small population is to other populations, and meets the agency's standard for accepting a petition to review."
NOAA apparently is taking a close look at a 2010 study led by Malgorzata Pilot, which was used by the petitioners to argue that the Southern Residents are not genetically isolated. From the petition:
"The significance of the findings of Pilot et al. (2010) is threefold.
"First, they demonstrate with data that social interactions among killer whale pods do occur in the wild and they occur more frequently than has been reported (i.e., many interactions are simply 'missed' by human observers who cannot watch a vast area of ocean to take note of killer whale pod interactions, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, year round)….
"Second, Pilot et al. (2010) explain why inbreeding is not a problem even though killer whales rarely disperse outside of natal pods….
"Third, Pilot et al. (2010) explain why mtDNA haplotypes (groups of genes that are inherited together by an organism from a single parent) can be highly divergent among ecotypes but not nuclear DNA markers….Therefore, if only mtDNA is considered in an analysis, the loss of mtDNA variation in populations (also referred to as lineage sorting) can give an erroneous appearance of populations (and putative species) being genetically isolated because they are trying to maintain taxonomic differences while at the same time ecotypes and populations are not isolated for nuclear genetic variation."
Sorry if that's a little technical, but it shows why NOAA decided to take up to an additional nine months to decide if the petitioners have a case based on arguments about genetic isolation. Are the Southern Residents a distinct population segment of the overall species?
The petitioners argue that NOAA improperly declared the Northern Pacific killer whales (Northern and Southern Residents) as a subspecies, making the Southern Residents a DPS of a subspecies — which, they argue, is illegal under the Endangered Species Act.
In response to NOAA's status review, the Center for Biological Diversity, which fought the first legal battle over the listing, issued a news release saying that nothing has changed in the realm of science. The population qualifies as a DPS, because it is one of only a few to feed extensively on salmon; it has a unique dialect; and it is genetically unique.
Stated Sarah Uhlemann, an attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity:
"It would be a tragedy to strip Washington's most iconic species of protections. Only around 85 southern resident killer whales are left, and their Endangered Species Act listing is critical to the population's recovery in Puget Sound.
"Nothing has changed in the science to show that orcas are faring any better or are somehow suddenly undeserving of endangered species protections. Although the agency's decision to consider the delisting petition is unfortunate, the species' status is unlikely to change as a result of the agency's review, and these irreplaceable killer whales will almost certainly keep their protections."
Other news stories on NOAA decision to review the listing:
Bill Sheets, The Herald, Everett: "Calif. farms challenge state orcas' endangered status"
Linda Mapes, Seattle Times, "California farmers want orcas taken off endangered-species list"
Meanwhile, in terms of classifying orcas, there is an ongoing effort to include captive killer whales among the population listed as endangered. See Water Ways, Oct. 24, 2010.
And there's a new story by Associated Press reporter Dan Joling, who writes about an effort to declare transient killer whales a new species and name them for the late Michael Bigg, a killer whale researcher who developed today's common method for identifying individual orcas.

rice bran oil refinery factory working principle:
Method of hydration degumming:
Using the hydrophilic groups in oils,add certain amount of hot water or dilute of acid, alkali,salt or other electrolyte solution,to make the colliod swell and condense. then sedimentating and separating.The sedimentation of colliod called nigre.Low temperature hydration 20- 30 degree,High temperature hydration 80-90 degree.
Add acid degumming:
Adding organic or inorganic acid to change the structure of colloid,to achieve the purpose of easy sedimentating.Add 85% phosphoric acid,the amount of oil 0.1%-1% , which was fully stirred under the 60-80 degree,then the mixed solution is fed into a centrifuge to colliod separation .
2, Deacidification
Alkali refining:
Adding alkali to neutralize fatty acids and formed soap and water.we usually take the sodium-hydroxide solubilization.
Alkali refining itself has a comprehensive role in the deacidification, degumming, removal of impurities and bleaching:1.Neutralization of FFA to form soap ,2 the soap adsorption protein and a small amount of mechanical impurities together sedimentating.
Distillation deacidification:
Using direct steam heating, the free fatty acids and low molecular weight substances are discharged together with steam in a vacuum condition.
3, Decoloration :
Adsorption bleaching:
Using adsorbent to adsorb the pigment and other impurities in the oil,then through the filtering to removal the adsorbent and impurities.
Adsorption material :activated clay , activated carbon
4, Deodorization:
Vacuum steam method, hydrogenation method, chemical drugs method.
Vacuum steam deodorization: Since the different volatility of odor substances and triglycerides in oils. Under the conditions of high temperature and vacuum, using steam distillation, let the odor compounds and water vapor escape together and achieve the purpose of deodorization.
5, Dewaxing
The waxiness is the polymer that combine fatty acid and monohydric alcohol .Its melting point at 78-82 degree
Oil dewaxing is using the great difference melting properties between oil and wax , by cooling and crystallization and filtration or centrifugation to seperate oil and waxiness.

This Osho Meditative Therapy has been described as the most important new meditation since the creation of Vipassana.
The Healing Power of Laughter, Tears, and Silence
"It has three steps. All are designed for a particular purpose: to bring out all the poison from your being that has been injected by every generation for centuries. Laughter is the first step. One of the great writers, Norman Cousins, has just now written of his life-long experiment: that if he laughs for twenty minutes without any reason, all his tensions disappear. His consciousness grows, the dust disappears.
"You will see it yourself; if you can laugh without any reason, you will see something repressed within you... From your very childhood you have been told not to laugh – "Be serious!" You have to come out of that repressive conditioning.
"The second step is tears. Tears have been repressed even more deeply. It has been told to us that tears are a symptom of weakness – they are not. Tears can cleanse not only your eyes, but your heart too. They soften you, it is a biological strategy to keep you clean, to keep you unburdened. It is now a well-known fact that less women go mad than men. And the reason has been found to be that women can cry and weep more easily than men. Even to the small child it is said, "Be a man, don't cry like a woman!"
"But if you look at the physiology of your body, you have the same glands full of tears whether you are man or woman. It has been found that less women commit suicide than men. And of course, no woman in history has been the cause of founding violent religions, wars, massacres. If the whole world can learn to cry and weep again it will be a tremendous transformation, a metamorphosis.
"The third step is silence. I have called it "The Watcher on the Hills." Become as silent as if you are alone on the top of an Himalayan peak, utterly silent and alone, just watching, listening... sensitive, but still."

For seven days continuously, three hours every day
"I have chosen one of my therapists to create a new meditative therapy. The first part will be Yaa-Hoo! – for three hours, people simply laugh for no reason at all. And whenever their laughter starts dying they again say, "Yaa-Hoo!" and it will come back. Digging for three hours you will be surprised how many layers of dust have gathered upon your being. It will cut them like a sword, in one blow. For seven days continuously, three hours every day... you cannot conceive how much transformation can come to your being.
"And then the second part is "Yaa-Boo." The first part removes everything that hinders your laughter – all the inhibitions of past humanity, all the repressions. It cuts them away. It brings a new space within you, but still you have to go a few steps more to reach the temple of your being, because you have suppressed so much sadness, so much despair, so much anxiety, so many tears – they are all there, covering you and destroying your beauty, your grace, your joy.
"In old Mongolia they had an ancient idea that every life, whatever pain is suppressed... and pain is suppressed, because nobody wants it. You don't want to be painful so you suppress it, you avoid, you look somewhere else. But it remains.
"And the Mongolian idea was – and I agree with it – that life after life it goes on accumulating in you; it becomes almost a hard shell of pain. That's why all the saints and the sages have been telling you, shouting – "Go into yourself!" You listen to them, but you don't go. There is a reason why you don't go: you know that going in, you have to encounter pain; going in, you have to encounter misery, suffering, agony. It is better to remain outside – engaged, busy. Never be alone, because in your aloneness you may unconsciously start moving inwards. Being alone, having nothing else to do you may start looking inwards.
"People have invented all kinds of things to escape from themselves: they may smoke cigarettes… Not that they need them. I have never felt any need for cigarettes, so I cannot conceive that there is any necessity for anybody to be so stupid. When pure air is available, he is making his breathing full of poison, and he is paying for it! But there must be some reason. Why do millions of people go on smoking? The reason is, it keeps you occupied. Even if you are alone, it does not leave you unoccupied.
"These are devices of your mind. There are people who are chewing gum. Now what a nonsense thing to do! – chewing gum? Are you sane or insane? Can't you chew anything else? No sane person can do this unnecessary exercise of chewing gum. But it keeps you occupied, so millions of people are chewing gum.
"All your conversations, your so-called busyness is almost without any purpose, without any business. But it helps just one thing: you don't come across yourself. There is too much pain.
"So you can listen to the sages, to the awakened ones, and you can nod – "You are right, but my time has not come yet. Please forgive me; I have still to chew gum, I have still to smoke cigarettes. You are great, you can drop these things. We are small people, how can we drop cigarettes and chewing gum?"
"Just see the stupidity of it all. But behind the stupidity there must be some psychology and the psychology is: anything that helps you to avoid yourself becomes useful. Football match, volleyball, boxing...somebody else is doing it, you are just looking, but that looking takes you away from your own inside.
"If you go in you will find both, laughter and tears. That's why sometimes it happens that by laughing, suddenly you find tears also start coming together with it – very confusing, because ordinarily we think they are contrary. When you are full of tears it is not a time to laugh, or when you are laughing it is not the right season for tears. But existence does not believe in your concepts, ideologies. Existence transcends all your concepts, which are dualistic, which are based on duality. Day and night, laughter and tears, pain and blissfulness, they both come together.
"When a man reaches into his innermost being he will find the first layer is of laughter and the second layer is of agony, tears.
"So for seven days you have to allow yourself to weep, cry, for no reason at all – just the tears are ready to come. You have been preventing them. Just don't prevent, and whenever you feel they are not coming, just say, "Yaa-Boo!"
"These are pure sounds, used as a technique to bring all your laughter and all your tears and clean you completely, so that you can become an innocent child.
"This is absolutely my meditation.
"You will be surprised that no meditation can give you so much as this small strategy. This is my experience of many meditations, that what has to be done is to break two layers in you. Your laughter has been repressed; you have been told, "Don't laugh, it is a serious matter." You are not allowed to laugh in a church, or in a university class…
"So the first layer is of laughter, but once laughter is over you will suddenly find yourself flooded with tears, agony. But that too will be a great unburdening phenomenon. Many lives of pain and suffering will disappear. If you can get rid of these two layers you have found yourself.
"Maneesha, there is no meaning in the words, `Yaa-Hoo' or `Yaa-Boo'. These are simply techniques, sounds which can be used for a certain purpose to enter into your own being.
"And you may have felt it – when you shout, "Yaa-Hoo!" you may have felt a sudden breeze of freshness and joy.
"I don't want so many people to cry here; that's why I have not used the other part. That is to be used in special groups.
"I have invented many meditations, but perhaps this will be the most essential and fundamental one. It can take over the whole world. Already from every country news cuttings are coming to me – "What is this Yaa-Hoo!?" People are making up meanings of their own, but it has taken over around the world. Now the second thing is Yaa-Boo! And the whole process of Yaa-Hoo and Yaa-Boo, the couple, married... arranged marriage!
"Every society has done so much harm by preventing your joys and your tears. If an old man starts crying you will say, "What are you doing? You should feel ashamed; you are not a child, that somebody has taken your banana and you are crying. Have another banana, but don't cry."
"Just see – stand on the street and start crying and a crowd will gather to console you: "Don't cry! Whatever has happened forget all about it, it has happened." Nobody knows what has happened, nobody can help you, but everybody will try – "Don't cry!" And the reason is that if you go on crying, then they will start crying, because they are also flooded with.…
"Those tears are very close to the eyes.
"And it is a healthy thing to cry, to weep, to laugh. Now scientists are discovering that crying, weeping, laughter, are immensely healthful; not only physically but also psychologically, they are very much capable of keeping you sane. The whole of humanity has gone a little cuckoo, for the simple reason that nobody laughs fully because all around there are people who will say, "What are you doing? Are you a child? – at this age? What will your children think? Keep quiet!"
"If you cry and weep without any reason, just as an exercise, a meditation...nobody will believe it. Tears have never been accepted as meditation. And I tell you, they are not only a meditation, they are a medicine also. You will have better eyesight and you will have better inner vision.
"I am giving you a very fundamental technique, fresh and unused. And it is going to become worldwide, without any doubt, because its effects will show anybody that the person has become younger, the person has become more loving, the person has become graceful. The person has become more flexible, less fanatic; the person has become more joyful, more a celebrant.
"All that this world needs is a good cleansing of the heart of all the inhibitions of the past. Laughter and tears can do both. Tears will take out all the agony that is hidden inside you and laughter will take all that is preventing your ecstasy. Once you have learned the art you will be immensely surprised: why has this not been told up to now? There is a reason: nobody has wanted humanity to have the freshness of a rose flower and the fragrance and the beauty.
"I have called this series of lectures The Mystic Rose. "Yaa-Hoo!" is the mantra to bring the mystic rose in your very center, to open your center and release your fragrance. Your life becomes for the first time significant, not just useful. Right now it is only useful – you are a father, useful. Without you what will your children do? You are a mother, useful; you are a wife, useful – without you what will your husband do? He may go astray.
"He is already going astray, so you have to hang around! If the husband is too joyous the wife cannot believe that he is joyful because of her. There must be some other woman: "Just tell us, what is her name? Who is the other woman? Why are you laughing!?"
"The husband cannot cry, because the wife will say, "What is the matter? I have been telling you continually, these love affairs won't do. Has the woman gone, leaving you behind crying and weeping?"
"Two old people appeared in the court, husband and wife – the husband was ninety-five years old, the wife ninety years old, and they wanted a divorce. The magistrate could not believe it. He said, 'My god, at this age! For what? How long have you been married?' They said, 'Who remembers? Maybe sixty years, seventy years, but we cannot give you a certain date. It was long before.'
"The magistrate said, 'If you have lived together so long that you cannot even remember when you started living together, then why are you divorcing now? If life was not good, and things were not going well, you should have appeared before the court long ago!' The old man said, 'We wanted to come, but the children... Now all the children are dead, so we decided there is no point in torturing each other. Now we should get a divorce: you torture somebody else if you can find anybody; I will torture somebody else if I can find. Otherwise we can be alone far better than we are together. Together we become so sad that 'This woman destroyed my life' or, `This man destroyed my life.' '
"People marry not because of love – love knows no marriage, because love will not create any contract. It is not business. Love knows no marriage because it is not business, it is not law. It won't reduce the freedom of the other. If anything, it will increase and enhance the freedom of the other.
"Love cannot cut the wings of the other. It will give you more wings, more skies, vast spaces to fly and to be. But that does not happen. Marriage is a utility. It is a need, it is not a celebration. Everything in life has become so mundane, so burdensome, but you don't know what else to do, where to go. Everybody is suffering his own suffering. You cannot change places. Even if it were possible to change places you would not change, because our own misery is at least ours and we are well acquainted.
"At a party one man was asked by his wife, 'I hear that the woman sitting over there is your mistress?'
The man did not want to create a fuss in the party, so he whispered; he said, 'Yes, everybody has mistresses here, so don't make any trouble.'
She said, 'Then tell me who is whose mistress?'
So he told her: 'This man has that mistress, and his wife is somebody else's mistress. Things are so puzzled...'
"He told her about everybody. The same women, the same men, but all have mistresses, all have wives.
The woman looked at all of them and finally said, 'But ours is the best.'
"Her husband's mistress! It was an agony, but OURS...! 'Others are being more idiotic – these horrible women... I know all of them.'
Even the agony, the pain becomes by and by an acquaintance, old and familiar. You cannot part with it, you will miss it.
"I have seen people missing their wives, just after two or three days when the wife has gone to her parents. For two or three days they are so joyful, but the fourth day they start missing the wife. And I have said to my friends, 'You always wanted to get rid of your wife. It is good that she is prolonging her holiday – enjoy!'
"And what have I heard from my friends? 'Yes, it is true, when she is here I feel like killing her. But when she goes somewhere else I feel so alone, that I go on writing letters and sending telegrams and every day a phone call – `Come back soon; without you, life is not life!' '
"Strange people! And when she comes then they want to kill her. They don't kill, just because they know it is very risky. If there were rewards for killing wives, I don't think you would find anybody who would not participate in the competition. Afterwards they will cry and weep and they will remember the golden days, but right now it is a nightmare.
"The whole of life has become just a utility: either you are an inspector, or you are a police commissioner, or you are a minister, or you are a teacher – just a function which any robot can do.
"The only thing that the robot cannot do is meditation. In other words, I am saying that those who are not in meditation are being robots, without being aware that they are just utilities, functions, they are needed.
"But a man of meditation for the first time realizes that it does not matter whether he is needed or not – he himself is a joy unto himself. He himself is bliss, he does not depend on anybody to make him blissful. That is the only freedom possible in the world. Otherwise everybody is a slave.
"I would like people to understand it absolutely that unless you become blissful on your own accord, unless your rose opens within your own being, you are just a commodity, just a thing, an object. Meditation reveals your subjectivity. Subjectivity is your consciousness, and your consciousness and its experience makes your life significant, meaningful, eternal, immortal, without any beginning and without any end. A celebration, moment-to-moment a dance.
"And unless you have transformed your life into a moment-to-moment dance you have missed the opportunity that existence gives you."

C&O: still cool after all these years
In Charlottesville, restaurants open and close so frequently these days that it's hard to keep track of them. Not so with the C& O Restaurant. The landmark bar and fine dining establishment celebrates its 30th anniversary this week and gets a big, copiously illustrated feature in today's Daily Progress. For old-timers, and relative old-timers, the C&O has been more than a restaurant–-it's been an unchanging island of cool in a sea of change.
From the very beginning, when co-founders Sandy McAdams and Philip Stafford managed to garner their first review from legendary critic Craig Claiborne (who happened to be visiting the writer Peter Taylor and his wife at the time), there's been something magical about the place. So, Happy Anniversary C&O, owner Dave Simpson, and his excellent staff! Here's to 30 more years"Š
1 comment
An "unchanging island of cool in a sea of change"? That place has changed a lot. For one thing, prices are much lower now than they were in the 1970s. Another thing is that parts of the restaurant are actually non-smoking. And I'm told there's even a patio of sorts out back. One thing that hasn't changed is the world's smallest bathroom. Tucked under the stairs in the bistro/bar area, it does not offer enough headroom for tall guys to fully extend. Their neck that is.
