That's the question a commenter poses, albeit with skepticism. First, the background here. New England was a peculiar society for various demographic reasons. In the early 17th century there was a mass migration of Puritan Protestants from England to the colonies which later became New England because of their religious dissent from the manner in which the Stuart kings were changing the nature of the British Protestant church.* Famously, these colonies were themselves not aiming to allow for the flourishing of religious pluralism, with the exception of Rhode Island. New England maintained established state churches longer than other regions of the nation, down into the early decades of the 19th century.
Between 1630 and 1640 about ~20,000 English arrived on the northeastern fringe of British settlement in North America. With the rise of co-religionists to power in the mid-17th century a minority of these emigres engaged in reverse-migration. After the mid-17th century migration by and large ceased. Unlike the Southern colonies these settlements did not have the same opportunities for frontiersmen across a broad and ecological diverse hinterland, and its cultural mores were decidedly more constrained than the cosmopolitan Middle Atlantic. The growth in population in New England from the low tends of thousands to close to 1 million in the late 18th century was one of endogenous natural increase from the founding stock.
This high fertility regime persisted down into the middle of the 19th century, as the core New England region hit its Malthusian limit, and flooded over into upstate New York, to the irritation of the older Dutch population in that region. Eventually even New York was not enough, and New England swept out across much of the Old Northwest. The last became the "Yankee Empire," founded by Yankees, but later demographically supplemented and superseded in its western reaches by immigrants from northwest Europe who shared many of the same biases toward order and moral probity which were the hallmarks of Yankees in the early Republic.
While the Yankees were waxing in numbers, and arguably cultural influence, the first decades of the American Republic also saw the waning of New England power and influence in relation to the South in the domain of politics. This led even to the aborted movement to secede from the union by the New England states in the first decade of the century. By the time of Andrew Jackson an ascendant Democrat configuration which aligned Southern uplanders and lowlanders with elements of the Middle Atlantic resistant to Yankee cultural pretension and demographic expansion would coalesce and dominate American politics down to the Civil War. It is illustrative that one of the prominent Northern figures in this alliance, President Martin Van Buren, was of Dutch New York background.
But this is a case where demographics was ultimate destiny. Not only were the Yankees fecund, but immigrants such as the German liberals fleeing the failures of the tumult of 1848 (e.g., Carl Schurz) were aligned with their anti-slavery enthusiasms (though they often took umbrage at the anti-alcohol stance of the Puritan moralists of the age, familiarizing the nation with beer in the 1840s). The Southern political ascendancy was simply not tenable in the face of Northern demographic robustness, fueled by both fertility and immigration. Because of overreach on the part of the Southern elite the segments of the Northern coalition which were opposed to the Yankees eventually fractured (Martin Van Buren allowed himself to be candidate for the anti-slavery Free Soil party at one point). Though there remained Northern Democrats down to the Civil War, often drawn from the "butternuts" whose ultimate origins were in the Border South, that period saw the shift in national politics from Democrat to Republican dominance (at least up the New Deal). Curiously, the coalition was an inversion of the earlier coalition, with Yankees now being integral constituents in a broader Northern and Midwestern movement, and Southerners being marginalized as the odd-men-out.
I review all this ethno-history because I think that to a great extent it is part of the "Dark Matter" of American political and social dynamics. Americans are known as "Yankees" to the rest of the world, and yet the reality is that the Yankee was one specific and very distinctive folkway on the American scene. But, that folkway has been very influential, often in a cryptic fashion.
Both Barack H. Obama and George W. Bush are not culturally identified as Yankees in a narrow sense. Obama is a self-identified black American who has adopted the Chicago's South Side as his community. The South Side is home to black culture which descends from those who arrived at the terminus of their own Great Migration from the American South. George W. Bush fancies himself a West Texan and a cowboy. He was governor of Texas, and makes his residence in Dallas, while much of his young adulthood was spent in Midland. But the reality is that both of these men have Yankee antecedents. This is clear in Bush's case. His father is a quintessential Connecticut Yankee. Bush is the product of Andover Academy, Yale, and Harvard (by and large thanks to family connections). Barack H. Obama is a different case entirely. His racial identity as a black American is salient, but he grew up in one of the far flung outposts of the Yankee Empire, Hawaii. But perhaps more curiously, many of his mother's ancestors were clearly Yankees. Obama has a great-grandfather named Ralph Waldo Emerson Dunham.
Within and outside of the United States there is often a stereotype that white Americans are an amorous whole, a uniform herrenvolk who oppressed the black minority. This ideology was actually to some extent at the heart of the dominance of the early Democratic party before the rise of the Republicans fractured the coalition along sectional lines. In many Northern states one saw populist Democrats revoking property rights which were race-blind with universal white male suffrage. But white Americans, and Anglo-Americans of British stock at that, were not one. That was clear by the 1850s at the latest. And they exhibit a substantial amount of cultural variation which remains relevant today.
New England in particular stands out over the long historical scale. In many ways of the all the colonies of Great Britain it was the most peculiar in its relationship to the metropole. Unlike Australia or Canada it was not an open frontier, rich with natural resources which could absorb the demographic surplus of Britain. Unlike India it was not a possible source of rents from teeming culturally alien subjects. Unlike the South in the mid-19th century there was no complementary trade relationship. In economic terms New England was a potential and incipient rival to Old England. In cultural and social terms it may have aped Old England, but its "low church" Protestant orientation made it a throwback, and out of step with a metropole which was becoming more comfortable with the English Magisterial Reformation (which eventually led to the emergence of Anglo-Catholicism in the 19th century). Like modern day Japan, and England of its day, New England had to generate wealth from its human capital, its own ingenuity. This resulted in an inevitable conflict with the mother country, whose niche it was attempting to occupy (albeit, with exceptions, such as the early 19th century, before the rise of robust indigenous industry, and the reliance on trade). Today the American republic has pushed England aside as the center of the Anglosphere. And despite the romantic allure of the frontier and the surfeit of natural resources, it is ultimately defined by the spirit of Yankee ingenuity (rivaled by the cowboy, whose violent individualist ethos seems straight out of the Scots-Irish folklore of the South, transposed to the West).
What does this have to do with genetics? Let's go back to the initial colonial period. As I've noted before: the Yankee colonies of New England engaged in selective immigration policies. Not only did they draw Puritan dissenters, but they were biased toward nuclear family units of middling background. By "middling," that probably refers at least toward the upper quarter of English society of the period. They were literate, with at least some value-added skills. This is in contrast with the Irish Catholic migration of the 19th century, which emptied out Ireland of its tenant peasants (attempts to turn these Irish into yeoman farmers in the Midwest failed, with fiascoes such as the consumption of their seed corn and cattle over harsh Minnesota winters).
So the question is this: could "middle class" values be heritable? Yes, to some extent they are. Almost all behavioral tendencies are heritable to some extent. Adoption studies are clear on that. But, is one generation of selection sufficient to result in a long term shift? First, let's dismiss the possibility of random genetic drift and therefore a bottleneck. The one generation shift in allele frequencies due to drift is inversely proportional to effective population. If you assume that effective population is ~5,000, then the inverse of that is 0.0002. So you'd expect the allele frequency at any given locus shift by only a tiny fraction. So we have to look to selection.
Let's do some quick "back of the envelop" calculations. We'll use IQ as a proxy for a whole host of numbers because the numbers will at least be concrete, though the underlying logic of a quantitative continuous trait remains the same. First, the assumptions:
- Truncation selection on the trait which lops off the bottom 75 percent of the class distribution
- A correlation between the trait and genetic variation, so that you lop off the bottom 50 percent of the IQ distribution
- A heritability of IQ of 0.50
The top 50 percent of the IQ distribution has a median/mean IQ of ~110. Assuming 0.50 heritability implies half way regression back to the mean. Therefore, this model predicts that one generation of selection would entail a median IQ of 105 in the second generation, about 1/3 of a standard deviation above the norm in England.
Is this plausible, and could it result in the differences we see across American white ethnic groups? It is possible, but there are reasons to be skeptical. I think my guess of the top 25 percent of the class distribution is defensible from all I've read. But the correlation of this with IQ is probably going to be lower in the pre-modern era than today, where you have meritocratic institutions which channel people of different aptitudes. Second, the heritability of IQ was probably lower back then than now, because of wide environmental variance. Please note, I don't dismiss the genetic explanation out of hand. Rather, this is a case where there are so many uncertainties that I'm not inclined to say much more than that it is possible, and that we may have an answer in the coming decades with widespread genomic sequencing.
But there's another option, which is on the face of it is more easy to take in because so many of the parameters are well known and have been thoroughly examined. And that's cultural selection.While we have to guess at the IQ distributions of the early Puritans, we know about the distribution of their cultural tendencies. They were almost all Calvinists, disproportionately literate. Because of its flexible nature culture can generate enormous inter-group differences in phenotypic variation. The genetic difference between New England and Virginia may have been small, but the cultural difference was wide (e.g., Yankee thrift vs. Cavalier generosity). Yankees who relocated to the South would assimilate Southern values, and the reverse (there is some suggestion that South Carolinian John C. Calhoun's Unitarianism may have been influenced by his time at Yale, though overall it was obviously acceptable to the Deist inclined Southern elite of the period).
Before New England human societies had an expectation that there would be a literate segment, and an illiterate one. By and large the substantial majority would be illiterate. In the Bronze Age world the scribal castes had almost a magic power by virtue of their mastery of the abstruse cuneiform and hieroglyph scripts. The rise of the alphabet (outside of East Asia) made literacy more accessible, but it seems likely that the majority of ancient populations, even in literary capitals such as Athens, were functionally illiterate. A small minority was sufficient for the production, dissemination, and propagation of literary works. Many ancient books were written with the ultimate understanding that their wider "reading" was going to occur in public forums where crowds gathered to listen to a reader. The printing press changed this with the possibility for at least nominal ownership of books by those with marginal surplus, the middle class. By limiting migration to these elements with the means to buy books, as well as an emphasis on reading the Bible common to scriptural Protestants, you had a society where the majority could be readers in the public forum.
What were the positive cultural feedback loops generated? And what sort of cultural dampeners may have allowed for the new stable cultural equilibrium to persist down the centuries? These are open questions, but they need to be explored. I'll leave you with a map of public school expenditures in 2003. In the 1840s and 1850s one of the more notable aspects of the opening of the Western frontier with the huge difference between states settled by Yankees, such as Michigan, and those settled by Southerners, such as Arkansas. Both states were settled contemporaneously, but while Michigan had numerous grammar schools, Arkansas had hardly any….
* British Protestantism has shifted several times from a more "Catholic" to "Radical Protestant" direction. Its peak in officially sanctioned Radical Protestantism was probably during the reign of Edward VI, decades before the Stuart kings (the exception being the republic)

Containership Loses Steering After Engine Room Fire
A containership lost steering off the coast of Mozambique on Monday after its crew put out an engine room fire on board the 680-foot vessel.Towage operator KOTUG International said two of its vessels responded after picking up a mayday call from the Marshall-Islands-flagged Em Oinousses, approximately 50 miles off the coast of Nacala, Mozambique, while en route from Maputo, Mozambique to Mombasa, Kenya.KOTUG said its Rotortugs RT Spirit and RT Magic carried out the salvage in high seas, making quick connections to the disabled vessel for tow into Nacala. Em Oinousses' entire 25-person crew was able to disembark in Nacala without injury on Tuesday.
Kongsberg to Test Autonomous Ship Technology

Ltd.Under a long-term contract, this vessel will be dedicated to the transport of coal to generate electricity at the Nakoso Power Station in the city of Iwaki, Japan.The newbuild vessel comes equipped with a scrubber system that is compliant with the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) SOx emissions regulation, which became effective in January 2020.Length Overall: 229 metersBreadth: 32.26 metersSummer Draft: 14.
Digitalization Key for Port Operators to Survive and Thrive
As the demand for goods continues to rise, the need to move a higher number of containers quicker and more efficiently is also increasing with this. As a result, port operators are proactively seeking new ways to boost productivity, all while reducing costs to meet this demand.The emergence of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a significant factor in convincing ports to adopt new technologies to help them overcome the day-to-day complexities they face and not miss a beat in a fast-paced industry. But to exploit the capabilities of IIoT, seaports must have the right network infrastructure in place.
Training Tips for Ships: Stop Lecturing Me!
Does your training still employ traditional "classroom style" lectures where an expert conveys their knowledge to your trainees? If so, your training is an example of a diminishing trend; there is an industry-wide move away from lectures. The 2019 Maritime Training Insights Database (MarTID) report showed that while operators intend to increase their use of almost every type of training surveyed (simulation, videos, eLearning, etc.), classroom-style training stands alone with more operators intending to reduce its use than increase it. There are very good reasons for this move away from classroom-based lectures. For those responsible for maritime training, it is a call to action.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Sixth-seeded Li Na has advanced to the fourth round of the Australian Open with a 6-4, 6-1 win Friday over Sorana Cirstea of Romania.
Li will next play Julia Goerges of Germany, who beat Zheng Jie 6-3, 1-6, 7-5 earlier Friday.
Li, the 2011 French Open champion, is trying to add a second Grand Slam title, and the Australian Open appears to be her best chance.
She advanced to the 2010 semifinals, the 2011 final - losing to Kim Clijsters - and the fourth round here last year.

|For an overview of combat armor in the Fallout universe, see combat armor.
The Desert Ranger combat armor and the matching Desert Ranger combat helmet are pieces of armor in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Honest Hearts.
A USMC-issued armor boasting a desert camouflage pattern from the same manufacturer as the L.A.P.D. riot armor, worn with a matching military helmet with built-in low light optics, a combination IR/white light lamp and gas mask, an olive green duster and a pair of worn-out khaki pants. The owner's data is printed on the collar and includes rank, name, service branch, and blood type, to facilitate easy identification and possibly treatment of wounded or dead soldiers.
This particular type of armor was issued to the U.S. Marines operating in China during the Yangtze Campaign. It was most principally used in Nanjing, and Shanghai.
This particular ensemble belonged to Staff Sgt. R.B. Vickers,[1] a U.S. Marine involved in the Yangtze Campaign before the Great War. After his death, it eventually found its way into the hands of Randall Clark, also known as the Survivalist, who left it in Stone Bones cave while fleeing Vault 22 inhabitants in 2096. The normal NCR Veteran Ranger armor has a red visor glow, but the Desert Ranger eyes are green, making them more akin to the ghost people's mask lenses.
The armor set provides excellent protection, equal to a suit of T-45d power armor, but is classified as medium armor. The armor weighs the same as NCR Ranger combat armor but provides +2 DT more while the helmet is weightless and boasts a +1 DT bonus over its NCR counterpart.
- NCR Ranger combat armor - armor of the NCR Veteran Rangers, whose creation is based on the Desert Ranger combat armor.
- Riot gear - an advanced version of the L.A.P.D. riot armor and the military helmet used by the pre-War riot control officers in the Divide.
- Advanced riot gear - an advanced model of the riot gear which was used by the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, was used by the NCR riot control officers in the Divide.
- Elite riot gear - a unique set of armor which was used by an important NCR riot control officer in the Divide.

- Stone Bones cave, at the end near a footlocker in front of the Survivalist's terminal.
- Tycho, from the first Fallout game, was described as wearing this armor, but no in-game model for it was made. His version is different from this one, as it lacked any mention of a helmet and was made of leather.
- The eyes of this helmet are green, just like in early concept art for the NCR Ranger combat armor.
- On the back of the helmet are the crudely-written names of two locations, Nanjing and Shanghai, and abbreviations of months for each place. Nanjing has JUN, JUL, AUG, and an SE which is crossed out. Shanghai has SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC, JAN, FEB, MAR, APL, and MAY. The words "FORGIVE ME MAMA" are scrawled across the front of the helmet.
- There are multiple tally marks along the helmet, most likely representing either how many people Vickers killed during his tour in China as a United States Marine, or how many kills Clark achieved against the Vault 22 dwellers before he abandoned the armor.
- Unlike NCR Ranger combat armor, Desert Ranger combat armor is not faction armor.
- Repairing this armor when it's fully broken costs 16,000 caps.
- It's possible that the weight of the helmet being 0 is an oversight, as the Ranger helmet originally had a weight of 3.
- Despite being described as possessing "low light optics", neither the NCR Ranger combat armor's nor the Desert Ranger combat armor's helmets possess this trait. It is, however, found in all forms of riot gear.
- Sometimes while wearing this armor, NCR troopers will comment on being in the presence of a Ranger when you talk to them, even though this is not a faction armor.
- The armor plate on the neck of the armor right under the helmet shows the name and rank of the original owner of the armor.
Behind the scenesEdit
The Desert Rangers are originally from Wasteland, Fallout's predecessor.

BENEFITING: Careers Through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP)
ORGANIZER: Jamie
EVENT: 2011 ING New York City Marathon - $1 Mil a Mile
EVENT DATE: Nov 06, 2011
Jamie Ritchie wrote -
On Sunday, November 6, 2011, I am running the New York City marathon (my first and most likely last) and I am raising money to help young disadvantaged children find a career within the culinary arts.
Why Careers through Culinary Arts Program (C-CAP)?
In my home city of New York, I have been looking for a charity that I can get involved with, where the main focus is helping less advantaged young people to find work and careers in the food and (naturally) wine world.
C-CAP has a smart and inspiring new President, Susan Robbins, and they help teenagers in public schools across the country, who are at risk of leaving high school without job or college prospects. C-CAP offers direction, a real set of skills, and the potential for a fulfilling career in the growing restaurant and hospitality industry.
C-CAP was founded by Richard Grausman and it includes Tim Zagat, Marcus Samuelsson and Stanley Zabar on its Board. Whenever you eat out, particularly in NYC, you will see graduates from their programs in very familiar places, working for the leading restaurant groups such as: Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group; Daniel Boulud's Dinex Restaurant Group; Jean George's empire; the Four Seasons Hotels; or perhaps in Asiate or Artisanal. On the wine side, C-CAP alum, Carlton McCoy, is now the sommelier at the Little Nell in Aspen.
Please make a donation – knowing that friends have donated money with the expectation that I will complete the marathon, will be my biggest motivation in reaching the finish line – I hear the last 6 miles are just brutal.
Many thanks for your support,

On Sunday afternoon, a wildfire near Herriman, Utah, a suburb in the southwestern part of Salt Lake County, forced the evacuation of more than 1,600 homes and 5,000 people.
Real Salt Lake fan favorite Andy Williams, or "Bomma," who just hours before was in the middle of the action in a defeat of the Chicago Fire on Saturday, now found himself in the middle of the Machine Gun Wildfire.
A prolific tweeter, Williams gave the RSL faithful, and Salt Lake community as a whole, an inside view of the plight of the residents of the hillside community as the fire raged on the southwestern edge of the Salt Lake Valley.
"Huge fire in Bluffdale not too far from me," Williams wrote through his Twitter account, @bommadog, around 5:30 p.m. MT. "It better stay on the other side of that mountain or else :-( "
The fire, it was reported, began around 3:30 p.m. as a result of a machine gun training exercise at Camp Williams, a National Guard Training Site operated by the Utah Army National Guard located 26 miles outside of Salt Lake City.
There was little coverage of the fire on local news at the time; the situation hardly seemed dire as the fire burned in an unpopulated area.
Although Camp Williams firefighters had responded to the scene immediately, the high winds blew the blaze out of control and it worked its way to Rose Canyon, which lies just south of Herriman by 6:30 p.m.[inline_node:318881]
"Here is the view from my house. http://twitpic.com/2q524t," Williams wrote.
The RSL midfielder and his family packed up their belongings as things looked more serious and took another photo as the blaze grew stronger.
"http://yfrog.com/mzl2kj crazy now," Williams wrote.
By 7:30 p.m., The Williams family was asked to abandon their house and join hundreds of others that had been asked to evacuate as well.
"Officially being evacuated right now, holy crap," he wrote.
An hour later, Williams responded to the well wishes of a soccer blog that had been following the action on his twitter account.
"@GCSblog thanks for all concerns but we should be fine," Williams wrote. "Gotta move because of Marcia's lungs."
Marcia is Andy's wife, and she recently had a high-profile bout with a rare form of Leukemia. While her health looks to be good as of late, extra precautions are taken to ensure that she avoids infection or any conditions that may adversely affect her health.
More than 200 people had gone to Herriman High School for shelter by midnight, but the Williams family instead made their way to a hotel for the night to escape the soot and smog from the blaze.
"Checked in at a hotel safe and sound, thanks for all your prayers. Long night ahead," Williams wrote at 9:43 p.m. Just 15 minutes later, the effect of the raging inferno started to sink in for Williams and the rest of the members of the community as they followed coverage.
"Watching the news and looking out my hotel window, not looking too good for our Herriman family," Williams wrote.
At least 1,400 homes had been mandated to evacuate and it had been confirmed that several homes had suffered significant damage.
As daylight broke and progress was made on the firefighting front, Williams tweeted that he had been glued to the police scanner and Twitter all night, learning that four homes had been destroyed.
By Monday afternoon, evacuation orders had been lifted from several areas in Herriman and Williams and his family were able to return home. Unfortunately, the blaze had not been put out yet and the midfielder reported "constantly hearing helicopters flying over still trying to contain the fire."
As of 9 a.m. on Tuesday, reports stated that over 400 firefighters were still battling the blaze, which had wiped out over 4,000 acres, and that it was 25 percent contained. Four hundred and fifty homes still remained evacuated. Fortunately no lives were lost, and only a couple of minor injuries have been reported as a result of firefighters battling the blaze.
Though the weather had cooperated on Monday, warnings had been issued that it would return to the same conditions that allowed it to flare up on Sunday and crews were still working hard to put out the fire.

Just as the fervor over the Sci Fi Channel's name change to Syfy has started to die down, a rumor has come out that they're looking into expanding their reality television slate, which currently consists of Ghost Hunters. (If you can call that reality.) Once again, genre television fans are in an uproar, and Jimmy Kimmel isn't helping things by envisioning cooking show Iron Man Chef. But here are seven shows (in the seven main reality categories) we, as geeks, would actually like to see on Syfy, and we think that the geek community at large would like them, too.
Talk: The Kevin Smith Show
Acclaimed geek auteur Kevin Smith -- whose advance reviews of Watchmen and Star Trek had geeks in a frenzy -- would be perfect for talking to sci-fi and fantasy creators and talent. After all, he's been known to pull seven-hour Q&A sessions, and will do a 24-hour Twitter Q&A this week. Someone just needs to remind him to let the guest talk sometimes, too, and to stop Twittering during taping.
Survival: Lord of the Flies
Incorporating elements from the William Golding book of the same name as well as the TV series Lost, 16 strangers would wake up on an island with mysterious natives who set up bizarre challenges for them to compete in. The winner gets the conch shell and is leader. The loser is fed to the smoke monster. The last one standing wins.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Cooking: Medieval Kitchen
What if the Iron Chefs didn't have all of those fancy burners and blenders and deep-fryers to cook with? In this competitions series, chefs have to make delicious meals using only what was available in a kitchen in England during the Middle Ages. As an added challenge, a pair of dueling knights will occasionally wander through the kitchen, spilling dishes and forcing the chefs to scatter.
Race: Earth Trek
Similar to The Amazing Race, celebrity pairs from various genre TV shows and movies have to race from one famous filming location -- Luke Skywalker's boyhood home in the Tunisian desert, Frodo's shire in New Zealand, the town square from Back to the Future -- to another to win money for charity.
Dance: Dancing With the Stargates
With another Stargate series starting on Syfy this fall, there have to be enough cast members, past and present, to fuel at least a few seasons of this dance competition. The stars would be paired up with professional dancers, and they'd dance to various sci-fi and fantasy themes as well as music from different alien cultures depicted in genre movies and TV.
Dating: Nerd Con-nection
At comic book conventions around the country, the producers would try to set up a geeky girl with one of three geeky male suitors, based on their interests in movies, television, literature, comic books, video games and live-action role playing.
Talent: The Next Syfy Network Star
In this talent competition, actors who have played supporting or even bit parts in genre TV shows and movies compete against each other to win a role in a new SyFy show in development. They will be graded on dramatic readings, self-costuming, playing evil versions of themselves and light stunt work, like rolling behind a stack of crates to fire a laser at an opponent.
What do you guys think -- do reality shows belong on Syfy?

Kelly Crow at the Christie's Contemporary Auction
Christie's kicked off a week of post-war and contemporary art auctions Monday with a new, smaller sale amassed by specialist Loic Gouzer. The 36-lot sale, "If I Live I'll See You Tuesday," took its name from the punch line in a "Joke" painting by Richard Prince, which sold for $4.6 million (estimate: $3.5 million to $4.5 million).
The $134.6 million sale was expected to bring in up to $93 million, but bidders wound up splurging for pieces by Andy Warhol and Martin Kippenberger. It helped that a portion of the sale offerings were guaranteed to sell by outside investors who pledged to buy the works if no one else stepped up. Half of those investors were also first-timers to the guarantee business, Mr. Gouzer said. Here's a play by play on the paddle action.

GameStop Will Not Accept Defective PS3 Exchange Because Of Serial Number Mistake
Reader Ben's receipt doesn't match the serial number on his defective PS3, so GameStop and Sony are refusing to repair or exchange it.
This same kind of problem has happened to one of our readers before. It turns out that an employee had inadvertently entered the SKU instead of the serial number on our Reader's XBOX. He was eventually able to prove that he hadn't switched the XBOXs, but Ben is having a much more difficult time.
Ben writes:
I am going through a terrible experience with game stop. After finally deciding to make the leap and purchase a PS3 I went to my local game stop in Queens, NY. After purchasing the 80 GB I drove home and eagerly took it out of the box. Much to my dismay I found the video and audio signal weren't working properly. I called the store and they said bring it back in. I went back to the store(less than an hour later) and they told me that they could not help me because the serial number on the box didn't match the one on the machine. Employee scam? WTF? So the say sorry, sorry, blah, blah, we are going to investigate this and review the cameras. Whatever. Who checks the serial number before they leave the store? Well apparently we all should. Now it's been over two weeks and I still have no answer from game stop or the manager…
We suggested he try some of the tips in this post. He wrote back today with an update:
Wow. I am screwed. So, the main customer service for gamestop has now told me that the district manager made his decision (unbeknownst to me) and they have to stand by his decision. This is to not help me in any way, shape, or form. So I figured good old Sony would help me, right? Well they also refuse to help me. Not only will they not exchange my machine, they refuse to even take it for repair because my serial # from the receipt doesn't match. I really don't care what my serial # is, I just want a PS3 that works properly for the 500 I spent. Any suggestions?
We suggest that Ben contact his credit card company and request a chargeback. Once again we are lead to believe that before you exit a store you should check to see that your serial number is correct on the receipt and open the box to make sure what you're buying is actually inside. Once you leave the store, they're going to assume that you're a liar and a crook.
Does anyone else have any suggestions for Ben?

My inspirational quote for 2018 and what drove my work on the new 2019 shapes is: "Be the work of art in your backyard". This slogan helped me go beyond my normal "make it fast and make it sexy", and allowed me to conceive of slightly humbler designs focused on inspiring and giving confidence to paddlers looking to explore new places or go beyond geographic, emotional and physical boundaries. Read more
These new designs reach back to voyager roots as opposed to the traditionally competitive pedigree that SIC has become known for. This year, I wanted to fuse performance with the culture and art I see in my backyard every day, from the Pacific Ocean to the lush forests of Maui.
In the Okeanos this inspiration is manifested in a more traditional look using natural wood and ocean-inspired line-art to symbolize voyaging and the waterman lifestyle. Aesthetically, the artwork spilled over into SIC's new cruising (Saber and Sage) and surf shapes (Slice) which offer a balance of progressive shapes combined with a natural and organic appearance. Don't get me wrong, I'm known as a guy who loves to make the fastest boards on the water, but I also love cruising and surfing with my friends and most of all my wife, Donna. Getting back to the roots of paddling for pleasure helps me remember what compelled me to leave the Netherlands when I was 16, to chase my dreams of becoming a waterman and master the craft of shaping.
Thank you for supporting SIC and for all you do to inspire me. While it may seem like I am a one-man-show, please know that there is whole team of passionate people and paddlers contributing to the creation of SIC's great products. From our team of athletes to the folks in sales, marketing, customer service, shipping, finance, logistics, R&D, QC... There are many people working hard to ensure SIC's aspirations are achieved and that you get the best products possible. SIC has a very special ohana and we hope that you feel this care and the aloha in every SIC product.
I look forward to seeing you on the water
Mahalo nui loa to all.

For my last pony of the day, I will be doing a lesson on "how to draw Twilight Sparkle", step by step. She too is a unicorn but with Twilight Sparkle, she is a student of Princess Celestia. The reason why Twilight Sparkle ends up in Ponyville, is because she is sent there by the Princess to get her head out of books, and to get her in the habit of making new friends to show her that there is more to life than just books. Along with her as she journeys to Ponyville, a baby dragon named Spike who happens to be in love with Rarity keeps her company. I guess the series is basically about friendship, hard work, and problem solving. This violet colored unicorn pony with the indigo colored mane and tail has a new life, a new outlook on life, and plenty of brand new friends. I had fun drawing her out because she is one of the prettiest ponies of all. If you are still a fan of My Little Pony, you will enjoy learning "how to draw Twilight Sparkle". Have fun guys, and be aware that there is more in store. Adios people and good luck!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

This website is dedicated to the memory of a true high voltage pioneer Mr. James R. Booker, P.E. who assembled the Corona Technology Course from his experiences during 30 years working in the electric power industry as an electric utility test engineer including outdoor high voltage test lab testing of many bucket trucks, insulators, conductor bundles configurations, field testing and test equipment development. Jim was a real friend and will be dearly missed. Jim frequently said before he tested each bucket truck that he said a prayer, "Dear Lord if there is a problem with this truck please let me find it during testing". He had a great sense of humor and smile to light up a room. May God bless and keep him and his family.

Bend of the River
Conservation Club is a 70-acre complex located in southern
Berrien County. The club has been in existence for many
years, originally being named due to the first meetings
being held in the Morris Chapel on the bend of the St.
Joseph River. The club was incorporated in 1946, and moved
to its present location in 1954, on land donated by Dwane
and Bulla Lake. The property was formerly known as the Lake
Farm. The club is member-sponsored and maintained, and
enlists the help of its members to provide the necessary
maintenance to the buildings, grounds, and ranges.
The BORCC club house is a smoke free facility.

The second full week of the 2011-12 school year was a victorious one for the Buckaroos from Monticello High School, as they grabbed impressive victories in three sports.
Showcasing volleyball at its best, perhaps the most impressive win of the week was the convincing victory by the Buckaroo volleyball team over the defending 2A volleyball champs, the San Juan Broncos. In Blanding, no less.
Led by four-year starter Swayzi Slade, the otherwise inexperienced Buck squad swept the Broncos in three games, 25-18, 25-20, 25-18. With four new starters alongside her, Slade, along with Martha Beh, Robin Randall, Jessica Ewart, and Shaylyn Black, all contributed in the kill department, while Jaime Keyes and Allyson Anderson were tremendous defensively and servingly.
Devin Dalton was nearly flawless as the setter. San Juan played gamely, with long time starter Simone Shumway consistently setting up the Bronco hitters Teal Palmer, Lindsey Christensen, Samantha Giddings, Brooklyn DeWitt and McKale Simpson for big hits. But they just couldn't match the Buckaroo firepower on this night.
Either way, the Bronco gym was hopping, particularly from the Buckaroo section, with the impetus and voice power of the Buckaroo football team lending a hand.
All made for a festive atmosphere, only matched by the sublime volleyball on both sides.
For two weeks in a row, the Buck harriers have been impressive.
Says Coach Jeff Hunt, "We did well against some really tough competition at the Southern Utah University meet two weeks ago. Cambria Welch and Bailey Goodwine finished fifth and sixth respectively, leading the girls to a third place finish in the JV race.
"The important thing is that the small schools also put their teams in the JV race and Monticello beat all of them, including Parowan and Richfield.
"For the boys, Collin Hatch led the boys to a ninth place varsity finish in a really tough field that included the defending 4A and 3A champions. We even knocked off a few of the big schools.
"The most impressive thing for the boys is that all seven boys finished within a minute and a half of each other."
In a recent update, Hunt continues, "The boys and girls XC teams had a very good week this past week. The boys dominated the Aztec Tiger Invitational, coming home with a first place finish. The boys were led by Collin Hatch, who finish in second, followed closely by Kelland Brewer.
A host of Buckaroos followed as there were a total of five boys in the top ten. Once again, the varsiry boys finished within 40 seconds of each other. The JV boys were led by Sheldon Black, who also finished in second.
"The girls finished a close second to a more experienced Aztec team. Cambria Welch was fifth to lead the girls, followed by Brittany Keith. Freshman Ashley Hoggard made the JV field stand up and notice by finishing in second, leading the girls to a first place finish.
"The great thing about this year's teams is that week after week, they continue to surprise much larger schools. To consistently beat larger schools bodes well for the teams looking forward to October.
"Right now however, the focus for the harriers is the Loyd's Lake classic on Wednesday starting at 3:30. If you have never been to a Cross-Country meet, this would be a great time to come as see what it is all about and how exciting it can be. Hope to see you there."
Bucks win another
Monticello ran their football record to 2-1 after a 45-24 win over Layton Christian. Their seventh win over LCA was not as easy as the final score might indicate, but the young Buckaroo team might have learned some good lessons.
It was the Austin Powered Show for Monticello, with both Austin Wilcox and Austin Maloy each scoring three touchdowns and rushing for over 200 yards in the contest. Maloy had 260 yards rushing and Wilcox had 211, as the Bucks amassed 454 yards rushing.
The Bucks scored their first drive on a ten-play drive that included nine rushes. Wilcox found paydirt from six yards out and the Bucks led 7-0 when Jonah Cafferty kicked the extra point.
After the Bucks tackled the LCA kick returner on his own six yard line, it looked like a big Buckaroo night. But LCA rebounded quickly with a 94-yard touchdown pass on their first offensive play and it was 7-7.
The Bucks drove right down the field on nine more rushes, with Maloy scoring from the one. Maloy then executed a perfect fake kick on the extra point, finding Dillon Maughan in the endzone for two points; 15-7.
The Bucks then scored again on a 49-yard Wilcox gallop one play after Brian Robinson intercepted LCA on their second offensive play.
Then, after taking over on downs near midfield, Robinson hit a streaking Maloy down the left sideline for a perfect 30-yard TD strike. Suddenly, the Bucks were up 29-7 at the of the first quarter.
A safety in the second quarter by Cafferty gave the Bucks their only score in that stanza and the Bucks led convincingly at halftime 31-7.
But the athletic LVAers came charging back in the second half, intercepting Robinson twice and recovering a fumble, whch led to two unanswered touchdowns. When the Lions kicked a field goal with 9:05 left, the Lions had the momemtum and trailed only 31-24.
Another interception by the Lions made the Bucks gloomy, but the Buck defense rose up and forced an LCA punt. Then Austin Wilcox took things into his own capable hands, scoring on a 54 yard refuse-to-be-tackled run with 5:08 left and then intercepting a Lion pass on the next possession at the LCA 18 yard line. This led to a Maloy 11-yard touchdown run, making the final score 45-24. The Bucks remain at home this week against Monument Valley.
Broncos now 3-0
San Juan is 6-0 vs. Parowan after five different Broncos scored touchdowns in an easy 42-3 victory in faraway Parowan Friday night.
Barkley Christensen was an effective 7-12 in the passing department with three TD passes to Logan Meyer, Bobby Bowring, and Ammon Mitchell to lead the Broncos to a 27-3 halftime lead.
Maverick Shumway scored on a 45-yard run and Mitchell and Dylan Richmond added short TD runs in the second half.
The Broncos are 3-0 on the year and own the state's longest winning streak at 23, now that Bingham High got beat in California. Next up, Kanab in Blanding.

Road-tripping with kids this Summer? Here is a very basic yet essential list of must have's for the car ride:
- Kleenex, Napkins, Paper Towels OR Cloth Towels (green friendly alternative) - You never know when a miss will happen but believe me it will at some point and especially if you don't bring one of these for cleanup
- Snacks and Beverages - While you might not want to encourage a lot of drinking liquids, you can bet the kids will be hungry or thirsty throughout your drive. Fast food and gas station stops can get expensive so plan for it before!
- Bathroom Items - Hand sanitizer and a roll of toilet paper will be your best friend. These places aren't always the most kid friendly. Depending on if you have girls or boys, you might want to also consider what you would do if the little one decides they have to go and go NOW. It never fails when they need to go sometimes stopping at gas station or rest area might not be an option. I've got boys so I always have an empty bottle on hand and a blanket or large beach towel for keeping them out of sight. Girls can be a bit more tricky and as much as you are going to laugh my parents used to keep an empty jar in the car for us in case the good ole squat method wasn't available.
- Handheld Games, Tablets, or Coloring Supplies - Keep them busy with lots of options to keep your sanity. Period.
- DVD Player/Movies - Another one to keep your sanity. Even if you don't take road trips often or if your trip is a short one, this is well and worth every penny spent. Even children without a lot of screen time, are kept more calmly and entertained with a movie. Believe me, when I first had kids I thought these were too expensive to purchase and now I will never drive another car without one again as long as I've got a child under 10.
- Light Blankets and Pillows - While children still need to be strapped in properly, sleeping is bound to happen depending on the length of your drive. You want them to feel comfortable while awake and asleep. Blankets help keep warm depending on the car temperature as well as feeling cozy. A small pillow might keep your child comfortable without having to fall asleep in that odd position (or it will at least make you feel better looking at them in a better position).
