I know I discussed this in an email with someone at Poco Systems. I'm wondering if there has been any progress in this matter.
When I try to forward an e-mail with graphics included, the graphics are stripped out. The help screen tells us to remove the quoting character, and the html content will remain. But even after removing the quoting character, the graphic still disappears.
This is a major problem with Barca. Is there some fix coming?

Salmon River - Pulaski, N.Y. Update:

Salmon River - Pulaski, N.Y. Update:
There is approx. 25 or so Salmon coming in each A.M. in the DSR. Better fish at the mouth of the river if you hope to catch any. (In my opinion) Many will not make it to the Black Hole.
Few Kings in. Very few. A friend sited 4-5 Salmon while wading parts of the river from the Black Hole up to the Altmar area. Another seasoned angler reported a run of Salmon up into the Willow Hole in the Estuary. They did something that is quite common at this time of the year, they left. In the lower river each A.M. in Sept. you will see #'s of fish running down river. Normally this happens when their spawning urge is not strong enough to make them commit to their journey up river. I often see this happen when anglers start to wade into the river in the early A.M. Fish are spooked and a down stream run is created. Its funny to watch some anglers who get excited at a 30 pound fish rooster tailing down stream. They are often seen casting in front of them as they charge down stream? How do you present a fly to a fleeing Salmon down river? Got me! Ha
For additional water level information dial
1(800)-452-1742, River Code 365123.
For those of you that are new and experienced Salmon River anglers, I would like to share with you some important "fishing report information".
1. This year I will be offering a 24-hour response time to anyone with questions concerning this fishery.
2. Unfortunately, due to the amount of time it takes for me to post on all sites that ask me to, I will regretfully be unable to post daily Salmon River, N.Y. (Fly-Spin) fishing reports.
I will be updating my personal web site "fishing reports section" on a DAILY basis. As soon as I pull off my waders, I will be updating it with approx. #'s of Coho, King, Brown and Steelhead that I count coming up through the lower river. This should help in planning your fishing trip. Every 7 days I will combine all reports and post all information on this great site. As in past years, I hope you will find my reports entertainingly informative and mildly educational. It is designed to give you a lot of fishing information very QUICKLY.
3. Referral Service:
There are only so many days in a year and I find I'm getting more requests for guided fishing trips than I am able to do.
I've recently started a referral service so that I will be able to guarantee you a competent replacement.
You will be guaranteed a guide who is professional, knowledgeable, courteous and gives 110 percent. Most importantly, with my recommendation, they represent me. Only the finest - premiere guides have been asked to join my exclusive referral service.
Thanks for your continued support!
They say the Lord does not subtract from a person's allotted span for the days spent fishing.
Fish long & prosper!

Why Donate?
Q. Why should I donate to the Estuarium?
A. Perhaps it's best to think of it as an investment in the future health and vitality of a unique natural, cultural, social and economic resource. Stewardship of a resource is dependent on an understanding of its place in the lives of those who share and are responsible for it. It is conveying that knowledge and sense of stewardship that is central to the mission of the Lowcountry Estuarium.
Every dollar invested goes toward fulfilling the Estuarium's mission. There currently is no paid staff or rent to pay but there are ongoing expenses which include:
- Printing educational material and flyers
- Phone and internet
- Equipment maintenance and replacement
- Organization dues and fees
- Conference and symposium fees
- Insurance
- Accounting fees
Major, for us, expenditures now being incurred or planned include:
- Video equipment upgrade
- Streaming video to classroom and general public capability

Walls that speak
Belfast is not stylish or glamorous, but the city serves many artists as a canvas for their work.
There's a hiss, then another, and already the outline of a girl wearing headphones appears on the pub wall. The sprayer, 33, is a woman with long dark hair who goes by the name of "Friz." She's painting from the garden of the Sunflower, a corner pub in Belfast. Her real name is Marian Noone, and she's originally from Sligo, a place south of the border in the northwest part of the Republic of Ireland. Friz has been living in Belfast for nine years and loves it here. "I can't be this creative anywhere else," she says.
You hear the same thing from lots of artists in Northern Ireland's capital. The Cathedral Quarter in the center of Belfast, in particular, has become a paradise for writers, artists and street artists. It attracts creative types of all kinds, as well as students, musicians, party people and tourists. Right around the corner from the Sunflower, there's a mural of a nan, as the Irish call their grandmothers, that clearly references Jan Vermeer's "Girl with the Pearl Earring" – except that this Belfast nan is wearing a pair of hipster glasses. There are plenty of unused spaces here, empty buildings no one bothers about, crumbling courtyards, gray walls – all of them a canvas anyone can claim. And unlike 20 years ago, the city center is not longer a danger zone.
For a long time, Belfast was the scene of sectarian civil war, or "The Troubles," as people here call the conflict that goes back to the 17th century. For many years, the whole of Ireland was ruled by the British, and between 1919 and 1921, the Irish fought for their independence, which was finally granted by British Prime Minister David Lloyd George. From it emerged the Irish Free State in the southern (predominantly Catholic) part of the island, while the northeastern (predominantly Protestant) part continued to belong to the United Kingdom. The partition of Ireland was not without consequences, however, as Catholic Republicans in the North called for reunification with the South, while the Protestant Unionists there wished to remain part of the United Kingdom. The conflict escalated in 1969 and turned into an almost 30-year war, which only came to an end after lengthy negotiations that culminated in the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
A giant mural near St. Anne's Cathedral, to which the Cathedral Quarter owes its name, recalls the violence of that time: It depicts a boy, crouching down and holding an injured dove in his hand. The two arrows piercing the bird's breast symbolize the battle between Protestants and Catholics. It is the work of the French street artist MTO, who now lives in Berlin but produces graffiti all over the world.
In many places, you come across walls that tell the country's history. Known as "peace lines," they have separated the pro-Irish Republican areas from those of the pro-British Unionists since the time of the conflict. You will find them in around a hundred places all over town, and some of the barriers are up to eight meters high with barbed wire on top. The gates are open during the day, but locked at night – for safety reasons. The scars of conflict are far from healed, and in the minds of many people, it still exists.
No one can describe such tensions better than Sam Millar, who was born in Belfast to a Protestant father and a Catholic mother in 1955. The rift dividing Norther Ireland went right through his family. Millar, 61, unremarkably dressed in jeans and a sweater, is sitting in the café of the Metropolitan Arts Centre in Belfast (The MAC). He has won several awards for his trilogy featuring gruff, wry-humored private detective Karl Kane (Bloodstorm and other titles). Netflix is planning to adapt them for TV and turn them into a series in 2017, and the U.S. film company Focus Features (Brokeback Mountain) produced a film adaptation of his wild memoirs On The Brinks.
An author would be hard put to come up with a personal history like Millar's. A member of the terrorist organization IRA, he did time in the notorious high-security prison Long Kesh, was released and staged a spectacular heist on the money transport operation Brink's in 1993. He and his accomplices got away with 7.2 million dollars, but Millar was caught, went back to prison, but was pardoned and returned to Belfast. Today, he only writes about crime. "Writing is everything to me," he says. "It's as though I were now living my childhood dream."
The entire city has changed dramatically. In the old days, very few tourists ventured here, but now more and more are coming every day. There's plenty to see, too: The giant yellow shipbuilding gantry cranes, Samson and Goliath, on the banks of the River Lagan, are city landmarks. In 2012, a Titanic Museum opened, where visitors can take a 3D ride from the engine room to the sun deck of the fated vessel. Just in case you didn't know: The Titanic was built at a Belfast shipyard.
A tour of the working-class districts is a tour of the murals. The political motifs originated during the civil war, but there's a tradition of wall-painting in Belfast, so it's like taking a walk through a history book. In no other part of town are more eloquent depictions of how people here felt during The Troubles to be found – except perhaps at Belfast Exposed, a gallery dedicated to contemporary photography.
Curator Ciara Hickey, 32, is also the guardian of more than 500 000 photos documenting that period. She likes to invite artists to come and delve through the archive photos. "In the early 1980s, a group of Belfast photographers grew tired of seeing photo reporters fly in from around the world, take photos of the street battles and disappear again," says Hickey, "so they put cameras into the hands of the people and asked them to record their daily lives, their city." The photos were shown in the Belfast Exposed exhibition in October 1983 to resounding success. Belfast's citizens evidently wanted to have a say once again.

Royal blue standards adorn the Puerta de Jerez, one each side of the mudejar archway. Suns radiant and the word LUZ emblazoned on either. Inside in the casco lights have gone up over the streets; red and white flower motifs and along the walls smaller pennants hang, also blue. I've seen it before – preparations for the arrival of the Virgen who will come to town tomorrow (eight thirty sharp) to take up residence for a week. Tarifa's Real Feria y Fiestas.
Last night I watched the coronation of the Reina Juvenil as I did last year and as was the case then there appeared to be a lot of minor roles going; at any rate there were a good few girls and young women in pretty, formal dresses and flowers by the ton. Flowers on their lap, in their hair, at their feet, on pedestals, all around them. They sat self consciously and soaked up the attention, and the pollen no doubt, seated in diagonal rows on the incandescently lit stage. Excited whispers, giggles, that kind of thing.
My second Reina, crowned.
The ceremony has gone up in the world – from the long palm lined alameda where it was held last year up to the refurbished square at the side of Tarifa's magnificent new theatre. More

Taco Cid, a South Carolina Mexican eatery, has caused controversy after encouraging employees to wear "How to Catch an Illegal Immigrant" t-shirts. The shirt features a box trap with a stick and two tacos meant to lure undocumented immigrants. Latino organizations have responded calling the shirts offensive.
"Of course it's offensive, it's meant to be," says Lisa Navarette, advisor to the president at the National Council of La Raza. "This is simply a failing business trolling for attention. We would recommend people not patronize this place. Sure, because of this insult but really due to the fact that a restaurant this clueless about the Latino community can't possibly make a decent taco."
Navarette's reference to Taco Cid as a failed business, likely comes because it is the only remaining Taco Cid in South Carolina. The rest have been closed. It is also a one-star restaurant on Yelp.com, but most of the reviews have come after this controversy unfolded.
Efren Serrano, a pastor at Iglesia Nueva Esperanza in West Columbia, which is five minutes away from Taco Cid, said the shirts are inappropriate.
"It just looks bad because this talks about all the Latinos," he said. "It's not just Mexicans, it's the Hondurans and Guatemalans."
Serrano said the majority of people who go to the restaurant are not Hispanic but some are. "This is wrong and the Latino community doesn't feel good about this."

Taco Cid did not respond to an NBC Latino request for comment but updated its website with a statement.
"Our t-shirts were created as a witty and comical statement regarding ILLEGAL immigrants. There are NO racial nor hate remarks towards any specific ethnic group. Taco Cid and its employees are not racists," the statement continued. "As most tax paying Americans, we do believe ILLEGAL immigrants are taxing the system we support and live under, thereby, causing us to work harder and pay more taxes in support of their illegal activities which our government has simply chosen to look the other way. Is it racist to disagree with those who are not supporting the American system?"
Taco Cid employees wear the shirts and they are also available for purchase, according to Think Progress.
Brian Cohen, is the owner of BeWild.com, which also sells the shirts and says the shirts are not his designs — they just sell them.
"It's not one of our top sellers but it sells," he says. "People find it funny, it's just funny. It's a stereotype."
But Pastor Serrano says the Latino community in South Carolina doesn't find it funny.
"Here we experience a lot of intimidation," he said.
"This is a very racist state and we fight to get rid of that. We are against anti-immigrant laws and when we see these things it just makes us feel bad."

COLUMBUS, Ohio- Ohio will use a dose of two drugs never tried before in a U.S. execution to put to death a condemned inmate who raped and killed his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter, the state prisons agency said Monday.
Lawyers for death row inmate Ronald Phillips immediately sued to put off his Nov. 14 execution, saying Ohio delayed the announcement so long it didn't leave enough time to fully investigate the new method.
The agency made the decision because it couldn't obtain a supply of its former execution drug, pentobarbital, from a specialty pharmacy that mixes individual doses for patients, prisons spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said. The agency had considered using a compounding pharmacy after its supply of federally regulated pentobarbital expired last month.
Instead, the state will use an intravenous combination of midazolam, a sedative, and hydromorphone, a painkiller, in the Nov. 14 execution of Ronald Phillips of Akron.
Those drugs already are included in Ohio's never-tried backup execution method, which requires them to be injected directly into an inmate's muscle. No state has put a prisoner to death with that combination of drugs.
Florida uses midazolam as the first of three drugs, while Kentucky includes the two in its untested backup method.
Phillips, 40, was sentenced to death for killing Sheila Marie Evans in 1993 after a long period of abusing her.
Gov. John Kasich is weighing clemency for Phillips following the state Parole Board's unanimous recommendation against mercy last week.
Attorneys for Phillips filed documents in federal court Friday asking a judge to let them expand a current lawsuit to challenge the use of compounded pentobarbital. They filed an updated complaint Monday just hours after the state's announcement that it was selecting the two other drugs instead.
The state said it's reviewing the filing. Judge Gregory Frost scheduled a hearing for Friday.
Phillips' lawyers also are challenging the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction's decision to allow its director to delegate responsibilities for some execution duties. Phillips' lawyers say that breaks an agreement the agency made previously with Frost's approval.
Ohio's execution policy calls for it to try to buy specialty batches of pentobarbital from compounding pharmacies, which mix individual doses of drugs for specific patients. If that fails, the policy calls for the use of the two-drug approach.
A plan by Georgia to use a similar specialty batch of pentobarbital has been put on hold by a federal lawsuit challenging the state prison agency's refusal to identify the compounding pharmacy that provided the drug.
The lawsuit also questions the drug's safety and effectiveness.
Compounding pharmacies are under increased scrutiny following last year's meningitis outbreak that killed more than 60 people and sickened hundreds and was linked to contaminated ingredients at the New England Compounding Center in Massachusetts.
Phillips' lawyers have pushed for mercy, arguing he was raped and beaten by his late father as a child and grew up in a chaotic, filthy environment.
The state says Phillips long denied suffering such abuse and raised it only as his execution became imminent.

|Safe Haskell
This module provides the tools to handle operator fixities in infix expressions correctly.
The problem we solve is the following. Consider making a quasiquoter which antiquotes to Haskell - for instance, the quasiquoter in http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hmatrix-static allows me to write
myVec :: Vector Double myVec = [vec| 2+3*4, 5-4-3 |]
To correctly parse such expressions, we need to know the fixities and precedences of the operators, so that the above is parsed the same way as
myVec = [vec| 2+(3*4), (5-4)-3 |]
There is a danger, if we are not careful in parsing, that the above expression instead parses as
myVec = [vec| (2+3)*4, 5-(4-3) |]
which is a surprising bug, and would only be detected through testing at runtime, rather than at compile time.
When this danger arises, we use this "careful" module. It handles "unresolved infix" expressions such as
2+3*4 in two ways, depending on the version of GHC:
- in GHC 7.4 and above (where support for "unresolved infix" was added in Template Haskell), resolution of the infix expression is deferred to the compiler, which has all fixities available to it.
- prior to GHC 7.4, any ambiguous infix expression is flagged as a parse error at compile time, and the user is advised to resolve the ambiguity by adding parentheses.

Fraud warning
Classic car fraud advertisements and companies
Since it is to hard to rob bank today, and they do not have any money anyway, the crooks are always looking for other ways. Over the last couple of years, I have seen an increase of crime happening both on the street and behind the computers.
Classic cars get stolen on the street: Yes, they do, it happened to me! Gangs are now focusing on big classic car shows and events where there are a lot of very nice and expensive cars. They are watching and waiting for the right moment. If you have an expensive car, invest in a tracker.
However, what I think is even worse is all the spoof advertisements that are now filling the internet. The other day I was out searching for cars and I found a nice Sunbeam Tiger on the website mobile.de. The car and seller were located in Sweden and not very far away from me. There was a phone number and when I called the man answering had no idea what a Sunbeam was!
This picture above shows one of my cars advertised on autoscout24 for 6,500€ and on my website I have my car advertised for 17,500€!
Here are the warning signs.
- Private seller and no phone number
- You can see that the description has been translated by Google Translate.
- The description is irrelevant to the car or you can tell the seller does not know his own car.
- If it is to good to be true, it usually is. Even if it is in Sweden!
- There will always be some excuse why you need to send the money first.
- If the pictures of the car are in odd sizes, the scammer may have stolen the pictures from another website and cropped away company logos. It is easy to do a reverse image search on google and you will most likely find where they came from.
Next level of crooks of selling classic cars in Sweden: In Sweden the Immigration Office has been handing out ocial security numbers to the left and right. Everyone is welcome here, and when you have a social security number, you can open a bank account and even start a company. The crooks use the identity of these poor people to set up a scam business, and now you think you are dealing with a company that you can trust! This year I have been contacted twice by foreign private people that sent lots of money to a classic car company up north in Sweden and then never heard from them again. (Vintage Garage Germ Aktiebolag in Umeå)
In the last week i had 3 people calling me in regards to a company called AN-S Bil Vintage car specialist. Their phone number does not seem to exist. Their company registration number is not correct and the company does not excist under thos name in Sweden. They advertise cars on Autoscout and then does not answer by phone, only by mail.
What to do:
- Check company information on allabolag.se There you can see how the company is doing, if they have been filed for bankruptcy etc.
- Check phone numbers of private and companies on hitta.se
- Ask around if somebody did business with this company. Facebook is a great source for finding out what other people think. People love to gossip on Facebook.
- Talk to the people over the phone. Do they sound like they know what they are talking about? Can they describe the car in detail? Keep in mind there is no such thing as a perfect classic car! There is always something.
When have already sent the money, then the damage is done. Contact the police locally to see what they say.

Jerry Brown's first ad, now up on the web, reminds me of an ad that Gov. Schwarzenegger wanted to run, but never did, during the 2005 special eleciton in which he took a beating from public employees unions. (See ad below)
Schwarzenegger wanted his consultants to produce an ad that would show screens full of his union opponents' own ads. Then, the governor thought, he should break through the screen (as if it were a piece of paper) and tell folks the truth. "I break through the lies," was how Schwarzenegger described the concept.
Brown's ad does something similar. He uses audio from the negative ads of the Republican gubernatorial contenders -- Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner -- and notes how many ads there have been. (There haven't been 100,000 ads--that appears to be a reference to how many times their ads have appeared on TV). Brown comes in at the end to talk about the need for the state to work together.
It's a fine beginning, though there's one very false note. The screen text takes a blast at "politicians" as it notes that they argue even as more than 2 million Californians are out of work. Politicians running against politicians is as American as apple pie, but I'm not sure it's a credible message coming from Brown, who has been in and out of public office in this state since 1969. He's a politician -- just like Whitman and Poizner. He should admit as much and focus on developing an approach to the state's considerable fiscal problems.

Hummer infatuation
There's nothing in the health headlines that interests me right now. So, I'll talk about this. For the past two weeks, I've kind of been "car sitting." But, of course, what you see above is not a car.
Although I don't know why, I've always been fascinated by the hummer as a production/consumer vehicle. It's completely impractical. I mean, it's huge! It only gets about 14 miles to the gallon. Yet, I've always wanted to drive one.
And, I have for the past two weeks while my friend (my new best friend, HA!) has been out of town on business. She gets back this weekend, when she'll find out that I've only put about a gazillion miles on the thing over the past two weeks.
I'm no car expert, but, to me, it's a nice ride. The color is red, like the picture above, and has black leather seats inside. I've also never experienced satellite radio before. I had no idea that satellite radio has a gazillion stations - but great sound. I could get used to that.
But, after two weeks, I think my infatuation with this vehicle is slowly dwindling. I was very interested at first, but now, I'm looking forward to getting back to my car this weekend. I wonder what this thing can do off-roading? I guess I have a couple of days to find out. HA!

Ugh - satellite radio. I had it in my SUV but canceled the subscription. It's like satellite television - 50 jillion channels of nothing good on.

I know how you feel. I went through a vehicle binge last month, looking at my tiny Celica and wanting something bigger.
I started with test-driving a Ford F-150, moved on to a Jeep Liberty, and then ended up in a Hummer H2.
I quickly learned that I love my Celica.

There used to be a test track here in Vegas that featured all sorts of GM vehicles. I drove the H2 on an extreme off-road course, and it handled it well. I, on the other hand, did not. I'm more of a fast sportscar kind of person instead of an off-road person.

Of new/modern cars, I like the cruiser the most. I'm into old cars and I own a Mercedes. It's an '83, the best of the old ones as then the germans started messing with it. I got it because I want to change it into a veggie car. Your cruiser doesn't waste nearly as much gas as the Hummer. The Hummer is cool, but what about the planet :( !
My dream car is a Mercedes convertible anywere from '50s to 1975 - Diesel of course so I can drive on veggie oil

wow you have nice hummer.i like it.i would like to have hummer like you.i imagine what pleasure would have if i had Hummer.

Week 2's now in the books. Now it's time to pick the Week 3 games. I'm gonna follow schedule from Tecmonster's 2018-2019 rom from now on, so here's what I've got:
New York Jets @ Cleveland Browns
New Orleans Saints @ Atlanta Falcons
Green Bay Packers @ Washington Redskins
Indianapolis Colts @ Philadelphia Eagles
Buffalo Bills @ Minnesota Vikings
Oakland Raiders @ Miami Dolphins
Denver Broncos @ Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals @ Carolina Panthers

@Miles Prower
Also, for future reference, if you don't specify who's going to win by game time, it counts as a loss against you. If you honestly cannot bring yourself to guess right away, you have until the games start to come up with a winner. Or you can be the gutsy one and call a tie.
Anyways, I'll make my picks later. I need to think about my choices before I settle on anything concrete.

Time for Week 2, everybody! Here are this week's games:
Baltimore Ravens @ Cincinnati Bengals
Carolina Panthers @ Atlanta Falcons
Los Angeles Chargers @ Buffalo Bills
Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers
Houston Texans @ Tennessee Titans
Cleveland Browns @ New Orleans Saints
Miami Dolphins @ New York Jets
Kansas City Chiefs @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Indianapolis Colts @ Washington Redskins
Arizona Cardinals @ Los Angeles Rams
Detroit Lions @ San Francisco 49ers
Oakland Raiders @ Denver Broncos
New England Patriots @ Jacksonville Jaguars
New York Giants @ Dallas Cowboys
Seattle Seahawks @ Chicago Bears
Make your picks! Here's mine!
Ravens, Panthers, Chargers, Packers, Texans, Saints, Jets, Chiefs, Eagles, Redskins, Rams, 49ers, Broncos, Patriots, Giants, and Bears.
Survival pick for this week would have to be the Saints or 49ers. A lot of tossup games this week as well. Though the biggest question mark is the Packers. If Aaron Rodgers is ruled out for the week, I'm gonna change my pick to the Vikings.
Edit: I changed one of my picks. Instead of thinking the Falcons will win, I am now leaning more towards Carolina. Hopefully, I don't regret that pick. And since Aaron Rodgers is back out on the practice field, I am still leaning more towards Green Bay. But if he ends up getting ruled out tomorrow, I'm gonna change my pick to Minnesota. Everything else will be left as is.

NASHVILLE, April 14 (UPI) -- Jimmy Howard logged a 22-save shutout Sunday and the Detroit Red Wings helped their playoff chances with a 3-0 blanking of Nashville.
Howard was busiest in a scoreless first period, turning aside all 13 Predators shot en route to his third whitewash of the season and 14th of his career.
Henrik Zetterberg scored his ninth goal of the season 6 1/2 minutes into the middle frame and Johan Franzen iced the win when he converted a Nashville turnover into a goal with 3 minutes remaining in the third.
Justin Abdelkader added an empty-netter for the Red Wings, who finished the night tied with Minnesota for the seventh and eighth Western Conference playoff spots, two points ahead of Dallas and Columbus.
Pekka Rinne stopped 29-of-31 shots for the Predators, who dropped their sixth straight and ninth in 10 contests.

5 hits:
BILL CLINTON. He had them at "Thank you." The very sight of the ex-President brought down the house. Then he reminded with style and overwhelming substance, why he was a strong, centrist leader who got things done. And why he would win a presidential election today.
ELIZABETH WARREN: Sensible. She projects "sensible," but don't mistake that for a lack of passion, or a lack of political instinct. She also projects "relentless." Warren took a crowd ready to fall in love and sealed the deal. She showed why Scott Brown is in the fight of his brief career.
JOHN LARSON. It was supposed to be a cameo, a few remarks on health care by a relatively obscure Connecticut Congressman in the throwaway opening hour. Well, people have underestimated Larson, a product of the East Hartford, Conn., projects, before. But usually those who did were his foes. Wednesday, his own party underestimated him – he was ready for prime time. He was fiery, evocative, honoring of his father's labor and poignant about his mother's illness. And he owned the GOP taunt "Obamacare" and tossed it back in their faces: "Obama DOES care," he declared. Well done.
CECILE RICHARDS. One more time, a Richards woman was the absolute bomb at the Democratic convention. A lot of speakers had brought up the GOP positions on issues particularly affecting women as good reasons to support President Obama. But even the sincere "man-splaining" of speakers like Dannel Malloy couldn't touch the power and impact of the president of Planned Parenthood. Ultimately, though, it was more about presence, and logic, than it was about gender.
SANDRA FLUKE. See above. A powerful, young, female voice for change. I saw a Tweet during the RNC last week, before the empty-chair thing played out: "GOP has Clint. Dems have Sandra Fluke. Enough said." Well, exactly.
5 misses:
NANCY PELOSI. Wednesday she was Exhibit A in the pile of evidence that the Democrats are ready for new Congressional leadership. Pelosi has been in Congress for 13 terms. She is a pioneer and has been criticized for a lot of the wrong reasons. But Wednesday she was certainly bereft of the impressive fire she brought to the House two and a half decades ago.
ARNE DUNCAN. I had hoped to hear a lot from Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education, because education is one of the most important challenges facing us in this election cycle. Instead, his speech was perfunctory and uninspiring. Reaction was tepid, and it wasn't because this group of delegates doesn't care about education.
JACK MARKELL. He did not inspire with a flat speech that focused more on what he has done as governor of Delaware than what the President has done. Call it the Christie syndrome.
BOB KING. Walter Reuther he ain't. The UAW leader trotted out standard labor platitudes and lacked both passion and flair.
CHRIS VAN HOLLEN Perhaps it was a matter of timing. But Chris Van Hollen's speech seemed repetitive in every respect to what we'd already heard over the past two days, and nothing in the delivery made it different either.

April showers will bring financial advisors to Seattle.
Beginning on Sunday, the Investment Management Consultant Association will play host to 1,600 attendees in the Emerald City for its IMCA Annual Conference 2013, featuring Meredith Whitney, Meir Statman, Phyllis Borzi and Dan Ariely, among others, as speakers.
"I've been working with conference programs for 15 years, and haven't been a part of a program as strong as this," says IMCA executive director and CEO Sean Walters. "The overall quality is phenomenal."
Walters also notes the advanced investment strategist certificate in portfolio management that will be offered concurrently with the show. The organization has partnered with the University of California, Berkeley; Princeton; Wharton; and Yale in developing and presenting the program.
When asked about themes and trends to be tackled at the show, Walters points to a recent survey of members conducted by the organization.
"The survey was done in January, and at that time we asked two trend-related questions, 'What do you expect from the economy?' and 'What do you expect from the stock market?'" he explains. "Fully 79% of members surveyed said they expect the economy to grow and 82% said the stock market will rise.
"And as usual our members were right," he adds with a laugh.
Walters also points to the work of IMCA's government relations committee, saying it had meetings with two SEC commissioners recently.
"They actually came out with the results of their cost-benefit study right at the time of our meetings, which we found interesting," he says. "I'm really curious as to how the session with Phyllis Borzi will pan out in light of the DOL's fiduciary rule. It will be a one-two punch; after she speaks, we throw over to Blaine Aiken of fi360 to talk about what it means for members. They already operate in a client-first environment; between 85% and 90% of our members fall under an RIA/advisor standard."
Walters claims 1,600 attendees total this year, but more paid attendees.
"The number of attendees is essentially flat when compared to last year in National Harbor, but we have a higher percentage of advisors than in year's past," he concludes. "We have a smaller exhibit hall, but we have a lot of advisors that have joined in order to go to the conference to try us out. They see the quality of the education and want to come."

Michele Bachmann Asks the Obama Administration for Pork — Literally
Five years ago this week I noted that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, in a tip of the hat to Frederic Bastiat, had literally endorsed a candlemakers' petition to the federal government to protect them against overseas competition.
I was reminded of that today when I read that Rep. Michele Bachmann literally thanked the federal government for its purchase of pork from Minnesota farmers:
On Oct. 5, 2009, Bachmann wrote Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack praising him for injecting money into the pork industry through the form of direct government purchases. She went on to request additional assistance.
"Your efforts to stabilize prices through direct government purchasing of pork and dairy products are very much welcomed by the producers in Minnesota, and I would encourage you to take any additional steps necessary to prevent further deterioration of these critical industries, such as making additional commodity purchases and working to expand trade outlets for these and other agricultural goods," Bachmann wrote.
The letter was in October, so I guess by then she had forgotten her beach reading of Mises.

Sen. Ted Cruz visited the Iowa Republican Party's headquarters on Friday and answered questions about President Obama's remarks on the Trayvon Martin case.
Without specifically referring to Obama, Cruz said he regrets that some people have tried to take advantage of the situation for political reasons.
"I think there were some in the political sphere who tried to take a tragic encounter between George Zimmerman, a Hispanic man who was defending his neighborhood, and Trayvon Martin and to turn it into a racially polarized battled," said Cruz.
During remarks at the White House on Friday, President Obama mentioned that if Trayvon would have been white, the whole situation would have been different.
The Texas senator said that this type of battle is unfortunate and corrosive to the political discourse. He also took the opportunity to praise Obama for telling the nation that we need to respect the jury's verdict.
Cruz admits that there are great challenges in the African American community and many children facing less opportunity than they would like and than what they deserve.
He attributes the lack of opportunity to failing educational system and said that African American children are often in systems where their chances of climbing the economic ladder and achieving the American dream are minimized.
"I think we ought to have far more passion for improving the hope and opportunity of young African Americans, young Hispanics, and young people through out the country," said Cruz.
Education is foundational to achieving the American dream and Cruz would love to see a renewed sense of passion for how we can expand opportunity.
According to Cruz, the best way to create that opportunity is through improved education and educational choice, and economic growth. He believes that it is important to create an environment where small businesses thrive and prosper.
When asked about Obama's call for a national review of the 'Stand Your Ground' laws, Cruz stated that it is not surprising that the president uses every opportunity to "go after our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms."
Sen. Cruz said it is unfortunate that the president and the administration have a consistent disregard for the Bill of Rights.
As an example, Cruz mentioned Obama's inclination to go against the First Amendment by restricting the rights of service men and women to share their faith, the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms for law abiding citizens, and the Fourth and Fifth Amendments for American Citizens to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures, and protected from arbitrary targeting by drones.
"This is an administration that has undermined the Bill of Rights, and I think that's unfortunate," said Cruz.

DOVER -- In spring of 2011, Dover resident Don McCullough, enrolled in an advanced writing class facilitated by Sue Wheeler at Dover Adult Learning Center. He had a manuscript in the works for a story he'd been carrying with him since he was 12 years old. A forced period of inactivity following a motorcycle accident on Father's day of 2010 had him typing away at his laptop, turning his story into a written memoir.
Each week he would share excerpts. The feedback was encouraging enough that McCullough went on to share his manuscript with friends, neighbors, family members and eventually a Dover book club. All of the feedback helped to create the book that it is today. After a year spent pursuing traditional publishing routes, McCullough turned his search to the growing industry of self publishing. "Receiving the first copy in the mail in early October was nothing short of surreal," says McCullough.
Danny Boy a Memoir is available in paperback from Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as an e-reader for NOOK and Kindle by following the links from www.outskirtspress.com/dannyboy. It will soon be available for iPad via Apple. Locally, Danny Boy a Memoir can be found at River Run Books in Portsmouth, Barnes & Noble in Newington, Water Street Bookstore in Exeter and the Dover Public Library.
Last week the McCullough received his first royalty check for $135 from Amazon book sales which he donated to Dover Adult Learning Center to help future writing students. "If the program can help another aspiring writer, I want to support that," McCullough said.
Danny Boy author, Don McCullough, and cover artist, Kristin McCullough, will be at Water Street Bookstore at 125 Water Street Exeter, NH, on Wednesday, January 16 from p.m. until closing to sign books, sell books and answer reader's questions.
In addition to writing classes Dover Adult Learning Center of Strafford County has a number of enrichment opportunities throughout the year, including computers, cooking and fishing just to name a few; a full schedule is online at www.Dalc-Online.org.

(I seriously almost wrote "by Flavia de Luce" in the title of this post, that's how real I think she is.)
Flavia is up to her old tricks trying to solve mysteries and what not. First, she discovers a body, like she does; Bishop's Lacey is a murderous town. The body is Mr Collicut, church organist and ladies' man. Who wanted the handsome devil dead? And why would someone stuff him into the recently excavated tomb of St Tancred? While out and about piecing the mystery together with Gladys (her bike), she comes upon new clues of the person her mother was. The mystery of her death is one Flavia can't solve.
The Flavia de Luce mysteries are always a lot of fun and Speaking From Among the Bones is no exception. With every book, Flavia and the reader learn a little more about the family's past. It's not enough for a clear picture just yet. I've been suspicious of the death of Harriet since the beginning though. The whole "fell off a mountain" business sounds like a scenario from 50 Ways to Say Goodbye: Caught in a mudslide? Eaten by a lion? Fell off a mountain? Sure, let's go with that one. Will we ever learn the truth? By the end of this book, there is a glimmer of hope. Maybe in the next book we'll find out. Maybe.
The De Luce family is as eccentric as ever with the sisters still horrible yet loving in their own way to Flavia and their father distant and mysterious. Dogger is an enigma, but Flavia sees a bit of the man he once was in Speaking Among the Bones. The family once again is in danger of losing their home and the house goes up for sale. Can they save it from ruin?
The murder of Mr Collicut seems almost like an aside in Speaking From Among the Bones. Flavia and her family are much more interesting. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series. I think we're finally getting somewhere.
About the Audio: The narrator is once again Jayne Entwistle. I think I'm getting used to her as Flavia.
My thanks to Random House Audio for the review copy of this audiobook.

Compare Brightness:
LumensThe amount of light that comes from a bulb, which has commonly been measured in watts. The more lumens, the brighter the bulb.
WattageA measurement of the power delivered to a component of an electric circuit (allowing a one-ampere current to flow through the component under the pressure of 1 volt.)
Bulb ShapeBulb shapes are denoted with a letter, which describes the shape, and a number, which indicates the size. The number indicates the diameter of the light bulb at its widest part in eighths of an inch.
BaseThe part of the bulb that connects to the fixture and its power supply. Bulb bases are denoted with the letter E, and a number which indicates the diameter of the bulb base at its widest part in millimeters.
VoltageIndicates how much voltage a bulb can accept via the fixture it's installed in.
Light Color TemperatureThe relative color from a light source, measured on the Kelvin temperature scale. Warm light is lower in color temperature (2700-3000 K) and cool, blue light is higher (5000 K).
Average Rated LifeThe average amount time that a bulb is expected to last.
CRICRI = color rendering index. This number, which can go from 0 to 100, measures the ability of a light or bulb accurately renders colors. The higher the number, the better, with most quality bulbs these days measuring at least in the 80s.

On April 29, the College of Saint Elizabeth's Center for Catholic Women's History hosted its 2019 Heritage Award Luncheon. This year's recipient, Katie Blevins, '19, presented the audience with her topic: "A Christian Feminist: Reinterpreting the Value of Women in the Catholic Church."
Read Article
The Center for Catholic Women's History, located in the College of Saint Elizabeth Archives on the second floor of Mahoney Library, was established in 2001 to collect Catholic women's stories and record the ways those women hand on their faith. These stories are available to researchers as a source of studying Catholicism in the United States.
The Center for Catholic Women's History oral history project, Gifts from the Past, begun in 1998, has recorded close to 100 interviews. Some of the women who were interviewed have lived in New Jersey for many years and were influenced by the Sisters of Charity; others are recent immigrants whose Catholic roots were planted in countries such as Peru, Mexico, India, Kenya, Cuba, and Belize. Another phase of the project was devoted to oral history interviews with African-American Catholic women from Newark and Montclair. The most recent phase pursued the theme of Handing on the Charism by conducting oral history interviews among women who could speak of the way the Vincentian charism has influenced or transformed their lives.
The Center has been supported by grants from the New Jersey Historical Commission, the Vincentian Studies Institute, the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth Ministry Grants Program, and the College itself.
Leadership for the Center is provided by Dr. Erin Biviano, Sister Mary Ellen Gleason, Dr. Anne M. Langan, Carole Rogers, Dr. Margaret Roman, and Dr. George Sirgiovanni.
The Heritage Award is a $1,000 research grant for students to use and to contribute to the Center. The goal of the Award is to encourage students to learn more about the lives and contributions of New Jersey Catholic women. Pictured above are this year's recipients of the Center's Heritage Award.

New York, December 20, 2013--The Committee to Protect Journalists welcomes today's conviction by Moscow's Lyublinsky court of Russian businessman Pavel Sopot for inciting the 2000 murder of Novaya Gazeta journalist Igor Domnikov. The court sentenced Sopot to a seven-year term in a high-security prison, and ordered him to pay the journalist's widow 1 million rubles (US$30,317) in compensation.
"We welcome today's conviction of Pavel Sopot as an important step toward defeating impunity in the murder of journalist Igor Domnikov," said CPJ's Europe and Central Asia Coordinator Nina Ognianova. "We call on Russian authorities to build on this progress by continuing to pursue all potential masterminds of the crime. Only by investigating and prosecuting all those responsible in Domnikov's brutal killing can justice be fully served."
Domnikov, 42, worked as a reporter and special-projects editor for the independent Moscow-based newspaper Novaya Gazeta. He died two months after hammer-wielding assailants beat and left him for dead outside his Moscow apartment in May 2000. The attack was retaliation for Domnikov's reporting on the Lipetsk authorities' abuse of office. In 2007, five members of a notorious Russian criminal gang were convicted of murdering Domnikov.

Like the Mayans, I may be unable to predict the end of the world, but I can make a few predictions for local high school sports.
This time of year, hope flows eternally for all teams.
Soccer and basketball district tournaments are a few weeks away and every team, no matter how poorly it has played, thinks it can pull the upset and have a special run through the playoffs.
Softball practice starts Monday and baseball practice can start Jan. 14. Tennis, track and boys weightlifting also are cranking up.
I�m looking forward to this area�s 2013 high school baseball season.
It�ll be interesting to see what new Baker coach Scott Johnson can do with the Gators minus pitcher Bucky Locke, who is now at Northwest Florida State College.
Johnson has a history of winning and was the Big School Coach of the Year last season at Choctawhatchee. If the Baker players buy into Johnson�s system, the Gators could be the 2013 season�s surprise.
This season could be a special one for Crestview. I know it will be somewhat bittersweet for me and I would imagine Bulldog coach Tim Gillis feels the same way.
This year will be the last opportunity fans have to see Dakota Dean and Tyler Henderson in a Bulldog uniform.
Dean, the Bulldog shortstop, will play baseball at Louisiana State next year. And, if all goes as planned, Henderson will play football at Florida Atlantic University in the fall.
Dean and Henderson have been Bulldog lineup fixtures since their freshman year in 2010. Before either played their first varsity game, they were being hailed as two of the best prospects the Bulldogs had seen in years.
They�ve lived up to the hype, having made an effortless transition from Davidson Middle School to Class 6A high school ball.
Henderson is the best high school outfielder I�ve ever seen. He combines outstanding speed with a rare ability to judge a ball as it comes off the bat. He also tracks down balls in the gap that seemed destined to be doubles or triples as they left the bat.
Dean is the best left-handed hitter the Bulldogs have seen since his older brother, Blake. Like Blake, Dakota has power to all the park�s parts and he has more speed than his big brother, which makes him all the more dangerous.
Dean and Henderson will have plenty of help around them.
Seth Thomason will be back for his junior year. Tate Sweatt is set for a big year at the plate. And Dennis Gibbons has been lights out as the Bulldog closer and plays a mean third base.
As Dean and Henderson wrap up their careers, the talk turns to freshman Corey Armstrong as being the next great Bulldog baseball player.
So it goes as the Bulldogs try to keep up in an always tough District 2-6A.
In Laurel Hill, coach Ronnie Smith will worry about basketball a little longer before turning his full attention to baseball. Smith and the Hoboes should be in a bit of a rebuilding year. Last year�s top pitcher and starting shortstop, Kyle Slingerland, graduated, as did power hitting first baseman Tyler Zessin and speedy infielder Travon Calloway.
It might just be Jan. 2, but spring is in the air until a cold front moves through the area tomorrow.
In the meantime, there is still plenty of basketball to be played and winter sports to finish before the softball and baseball seasons open next month.

Willie Nelson Celebrates April 20 With New Song 'Roll Me Up' Featuring Snoop Dogg
April 20 isn't an official holiday recognized by more stodgy establishments like the US government, but for a certain group of Americans, it's a de facto Independence Day. Longtime marijuana connoisseur and legalization advocate Willie Nelson has chosen 4/20 as the day to stream his new song 'Roll Me Up' on his official website.
In the song, recorded with Jamey Johnson, Snoop Dogg and Kris Kristofferson, Nelson sings about how he'd like to be treated after he gives way to the great hot box in the sky. As you listen on the legend's website, pay special attention to the joint in the center of the screen — it actually burns away as the song nears its conclusion. 'Roll Me Up' appears on Nelson's forthcoming 'Heroes' album, due out in May.
While Nelson is busy honoring Mary Jane on April 20, the city of Austin will be honoring Willie Nelson. A bronze statue of the country singer will be unveiled at 4:20PM down in Texas as a means of recognizing not only his musical accomplishments, but also his lifelong support of a green lifestyle. Nelson will be on hand for the statue's unveiling and will later take part in a Johnny Cash tribute show at ACL Live's Moody Theater.

Gulf Coast Community Foundation has given away grants and scholarships since 1995.
It still hasn't hit its 20th birthday, but already the Gulf Coast Community Foundation has reached a big milestone in gifting.
The foundation announced recently that it has given out more than $150 million in grants and scholarships since 1995, with $50 million of it coming in the past three years.
The foundation was launched with $92 million from the sale of Venice Hospital, and income from that sale fueled most of the grants and scholarships in the organization's early years. But foundation officials say the exponential growth recently has come from other benefactors. More funding for grants and scholarships now comes from the foundation's 550 donor-advised funds than from the original proceeds from the hospital sale.
"Our donors are much more involved in our initiatives than ever before," Gulf Coast Community Foundation President and CEO Teri Hansen said.
For example, this year when Michael Nemser took over as chairman of the 3-year-old Venice Yacht Club Charitable Foundation, he turned to the Gulf Coast Foundation for advice on how to make the biggest impact.
That resulted in the 2013 Signature Project, "Build a Truck — Feed the Hungry." So far, $77,000 has been raised to help buy All Faiths Food Bank a mobile produce pantry called Sprout.
"We know we're doing something special in the community that's going to make a significant difference," Nemser said. "We probably wouldn't come up with that without the guidance of Gulf Coast."
That figure includes about $15,000 from a June 15 fundraiser. Nemser could spend part of Thursday afternoon writing personalized notes to the donors of some 64 auction items for the fundraiser, instead of worrying about management of a $130,000 fund, since Gulf Coast does that.
"It's very significant," Nemser said. "We're an all-volunteer organization at the Venice Yacht Club, and the leadership changes on an annual basis."
For the most recent audited 39-month period of February 2010 to May 2013, the foundation has awarded $21.7 million from endowed funds, according to Mark Pritchett, senior vice president of community investment for the Gulf Coast Community Foundation.
Another $30.2 million has been awarded from donor-advised funds like the one established by the Venice Yacht Club.
Grants have come from other initiatives such as Gulfcoastgives.org.
Gulf Coast Gives — a crowd-sourced philanthropy outlet similar to Kickstarter — has 531 projects under way and raised about $500,000 in grass-roots donations for smaller projects, including about $67,000 for the 9/11 Memorial in Venice.
The foundation has also backed projects such as STEMsmart to modernize science, technology, engineering and math classrooms — specifically at area middle schools; and CareerEdge to increase the local talent pool for higher-wage jobs.
In STEMsmart, the foundation has invested $2.2 million and leveraged another $2.1 million to outfit middle school classrooms.
The Gulf Coast Foundation has been the primary sponsor in developing the tech-active classroom of tomorrow, noted Page Dettmann, executive director of middle schools for the Sarasota County Public School System.
In those classrooms, six teams of three or four students sit around a custom-designed table that features a 23-inch touchscreen computer.
If students in one group, working with a digital microscope, see cytoplasm moving, that's readily available on their computer screen as well on the other five touchscreen computers in the room.
"All 22 kids in the class can see the cytoplasm moving," Dettmann said.
So far, there are 50 classrooms open in all eight middle schools. The foundation is helping find donors to outfit another 25 classrooms.
"We're trying to simulate the real world of work for these children and help them feel what they're learning is relevant to their lives," Dettmann said.
In CareerEdge — which actually started with a $1 million Knight Foundation grant — the foundation has invested more than $400,000, but the program has garnered more than $6.8 million in donations and employer contributions to training.
"So we're really leveraging," Hansen said. "We're basically putting a small amount in our initiatives, and our donors are coming up with exponentially more money than the Venice endowment for these projects."
Pritchett said the key for CareerEdge has been targeting sectors where there are jobs and then to "focus on getting people in those jobs."
Mireya Eavey, president of One Biotechnology and a former director of CareerEdge, said the program started in health care because it was the one industry with job growth.
Adeana Osika, director of Food and Nutrition Services at Sarasota Memorial Hospital, said funds from the CareerEdge program have worked well — supplementing the hospital's own tuition assistance program — to help entry-level employees get the training needed for higher-paying jobs at the hospital.
An employee may start in food services or hospitality and then train to be a patient-care technician or certified nursing assistant.
So far, she said, about two dozen people have received money and gone on to better things at the hospital.
"And then the hospital gets to retain these people, so it's really a win-win," she added.
Another skill gap area which has been a focus is manufacturing — with PGT Industries and Tervis Tumbler logical partners.
That push to diversify the economy beyond real estate and the service industry, Pritchett said, is one that has attracted new donors to contribute.
"We sit down and hear what their passions are and where they want to go with it," he said, "and point them in those directions."

How to Maintain Backyard Bird Feeders
Attract birds to your backyard with these bird feeding tips to keeping your feeders filled and fresh.
Keep the birds in your backyard happy and healthy with these bird feeding tips and tricks.
More Is Better
Crowded spaces can quickly lead to messy surroundings. This is true in many aspects of life, and it's also true for birds. If you have a single bird feeder constantly being mobbed by visitors, then maybe it's time to put out another one. This will instantly alleviate all the traffic going to a single source, and it'll help keep your feeding space cleaner longer.
After the Rain
No one likes to eat soggy food, and birds, too, will avoid food that has been out in the rain. Even when it dries, the food is usually moldy, a potential hazard. If you can, set your feeders up under a protected area, away from the rain and damp. If this isn't an option, then be sure to clean them out after the rain.
Good Storage
The seed you use is only as good as your storage method. Let's face it—feeding birds is an investment. That's why it's worth spending some time and effort to come up with a good seed storage solution. Ideally, you'll store your seeds in a sealed container, away from mice, squirrels and other critters. This will keep your area tidy and birds healthy.
Power of Bleach
A good rule of thumb is to clean your feeders at least once with every new season. (An exception is hummingbird feeders, which should be cleaned every week or two during the height of the season.) All you need is a little bit of bleach to give them a good cleaning. Scrub with a mixture of 10 parts water to 1 part bleach.
Did You Know?
Thistle seed can get moldy, especially in a new feeder birds haven't found yet. Solution? Fill your feeder only halfway and clean it regularly.
The easiest way to clean a birdhouse is by first soaking the inside with water using a spray bottle. Then I just scrape out the old nesting materials. – Tom KovachPark Rapids, Minnesota
Here's an easy way to make your birdbath sparkle. Toss a handful of sand into the basin and scrub it with a clean brush. The grit helps grind away residue. – Marilyn ClancyEnglewood, Florida
I could never get my hummingbird feeders completely clean until I discovered this method. Place a few uncooked navy beans in the feeder with some water, and then gently shake. Even the hard-to-reach crevices come clean. – Lynn RayGreenuP, Illinois
An old toothbrush is my secret weapon for cleaning sugar-water feeders. It's great for getting into the small feeding ports. – Mrs. David RossHenderson, Tennessee
