John Randall QC Commercial Litigation
Call: 1978 | Silk: 1995
John has a broad based practice in chancery and commercial law, acting in a wide range of work including contractual, property and professional negligence disputes, together with commercially related judicial review claims and a variety of sports law matters. He is also an accredited mediator. John has acted in a substantial number of lengthy trials and high value claims. His experience includes two major trials involving the extensive use of computers, both in trial preparation and in the court room during the hearing. Amongst John's most substantial cases have been:
– Queen's Bench proceedings on behalf of >70% of the UK brewing industry in respect of conspiracy to convert metal beer kegs on a commercial scale, with pleaded losses exceeding £70M.
– An ICC arbitration claim for a quoted bio-technology company arising out of the (alleged) breach and termination of a contract for the marketing of a new pharmaceutical product across a number of the largest states in the EC, with pleaded losses of US $100 million.
– A group action brought in the Chancery Division by 129 farmers against their union and some independent solicitors, for negligent advice in relation to limitation periods under European Law. Ten lead cases were tried together before Evans-Lombe J in Birmingham over seven weeks.
– Queen's Bench proceedings on behalf of a substantial Building Society seeking to recover losses of over £50 million from MIG and pool insurers in respect of post-property crash defaults and capital losses.
John has acted in a number of applications for judicial review, mostly with a commercial background. His experience includes such claims against the Chief Executive of Skills Funding (concerning legitimate expectations allegedly arising from a lengthy and expensive grant application process – R (Grimsby Institute) v Chief Executive of Skills Funding [2010] 3 EGLR 125), against the General Council of the Bar (in relation to the operation of its 'black-listing' policy for non-payment of barristers' fees), against the British Coal Corporation (arising out of its decision to sell land to one developer rather than another), against the Secretary of State's decision making on planning appeals (including R v SSE ex parte Centre 21 Ltd – 4 cases, one of which resulted in a highly unusual mandatory order against the Secretary of State) and against a Council for banning a (then) amateur sports club from use of its training ground, in purported pursuance of the Council's anti-apartheid policies (Wheeler v Leicester City Council [1985] AC 1054 HL).
Amongst John's other sports law clients have been the late Barry Sheene MBE (claim arising from a serious accident on test day at Silverstone – GP Motorcycling), a professional footballer (career ending injury suffered during a match), and a number of amateur sportsmen (including an Olympic athlete, a boxer and a moto-cross rider). John is an Adjunct Professor at the University of New South Wales law school in Sydney, where he teaches courses in Advanced Contract, Legal History and Principles and Practice of Advocacy. He is also a frequent speaker at legal seminars in the United Kingdom. John's international experience includes appearances in the Court of Appeal of Tanzania in Dar es Salaam, and providing expert evidence of English law for Courts in Spain and Eire.
John is a member of the International Bar Association, and was one of the speakers at its International Litigation conference held in Miami, on the topic of client confidentiality and English anti money laundering laws. In 2012 John received Birmingham Law Society's 'Barrister of the Year' award. John enjoys sport, in particular rugby union (being a keen follower of the Leicester Tigers) and international cricket, travel and music.

I thought it might be interesting to collate some of the blog posts that have been written about BETT 2012, before it recedes into a distant memory. First, though, here's a Wordle of the trends that people who responded to my BETT survey spotted. I haven't edited the text, so there are some superfluous words, like "see". Nevertheless, you can see the preponderance of "the cloud", as you might expect. There are some surprising inclusions and omissions, I think, but I'll leave them for you to discover for yourself!
I have started processing the survey results, but won't finalise them before the weekend. If you'd like to contribute your views on what the trends were at BETT, or share your thoughts about what were really good products or services there, please complete the incredibly short survey about BETT 2012 that I've set up. This will be available until 10pm GMT on Friday.
OK, here are the blog posts:
Tom Hesmondhalgh: 5 Things I learnt from BETT 2012

RaeLynn Signs Deal With Warner Brothers
RaeLynn's 2016 keeps getting better and better. The recent newlywed signed a new record deal with Warner Brothers on June 7 in Nashville.
The "God Made Girls" singer shared the good news on all of her socials shortly after the celebration at Aurora Studio.
"It's official y'all. I'm a Warner Brothers artist. So thankful to be apart of this family and to get the music I have been working on out. Today was a dream come true. Thank you Espo for lovin my artistry. This Unicorn can fly now," she captioned with a photo of herself, sporting a Warner Brothers t-shirt, and Warner Music Nashville Chairman and CEO John Esposito.
The Tennessean was at the event. RaeLynn played new music, including her upcoming single "Love Triangle," which they report is an "aching ballad told from the perspective of a child who is caught in the middle of her parents' divorce."
"We made the record and then we pitched it to a couple of labels," RaeLynn tells the Tennessean. "I'm so happy to now be on Warner. It's been a long time coming. Today is a really special day for me. They've always treated me like family. It's like family you've always known."
Blake Shelton was also in the room to congratulate his former protege from The Voice.
In April, RaeLynn departed from Big Machine Label Group as a recording artist. In 2012, she signed to Republic Nashville following her time on The Voice. She released her five-song EP, Me, in early 2015 and two singles.

LD Type 1000 Ton Rotary Slip
As a result of its continuing commitment to product development, Forum has designed the 1000 Ton Load Distributing Rotary Slip (patent pending). The slip, which incorporates some unique and innovative features, is designed to address the problems that can arise from the ever increasing drill string loads now being encountered in deep water drilling. It is the highest rated API manufactured rotary slip on the market today.
- Each insert supported by its own ledge
- Floating hinge pin design
- Handles a wide range of tubulars (5" - 7") by changing inserts
- Reduces the load on the slip toe
- Load is distributed over the slips full verticle height
- Full insert contact area is retained
- Reduces possibility of slip failure
- Can be used in conjunction with the Access Backsaver® to reduce fatigue
In conventional slips the bottom ledge of the slip segment, on which the bottom inserts sit, tends to carry a disproportionately large amount of the load on the slip. Failure of a slip has traditionally tended to manifest itself in bending or toeing outward of the bottom of the slip segment on this ledge.
In the new "LD" Type Rotary Slip, each insert rests on its own independent ledge, and in this way the load is more evenly distributed over the full vertical height of all inserts in the slip.This design reduces the importance of the slip toe, thereby reducing the possibility of slip toe failure.
The design of the "LD" Slip allows the full insert contact area to be retained, thus reducing the possibility of crushing the pipe.
The slip comes with a floating hinge pin design which allows the three slip segments to move individually and equally towards the center of the pipe. This allows all segments to transmit equal forces towards the center of the drill pipe as the string weight increases.
Each slip is load tested to its rated capacity before shipment and will come with full documentation including material certifications, proof load test certification, magnetic particle inspection and operating and service manual.
Please contact us for more information on slip testing and for recommendations regarding the running of heavy loads with rotary slips.

As Ukrainians head to the polls today to attempt to pull their country out of political turmoil, the entire nation is on edge – even at a barren patch of land in Kiev where one ochre-colored stone has just been laid.
On the west bank of Kiev's Dnieper River, where highrises from the Soviet era dominate the skyline, a group of faithful from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church gather in the glare of midday sun to witness the groundbreaking of a new cathedral to replace one destroyed in 1937.
Priest Konstantin Kvatyrko says it is coincidence that the inauguration takes place on the day of this extraordinary election, called early after the nation's president was swept out of office, setting off a dangerous power struggle within Ukraine and beyond and unleashing violence that has stunned the nation.
But the symbolism, he says, is clear. "I hope that these two events bring us new beginnings," he says, dressed in a thick black robe, as he gives the sign of the cross. "We are praying for the peace of this country."
A few blocks away, long queues formed in the many polling stations set up in one of the densest areas of the capital. The sweltering waits did nothing to deter voters like Vladimir Kosenko, who works in the insurance industry. Waiting with his 12-year-old daughter, he says he is voting for the survival of his country. "With this vote we are hoping for the end of the conflict and for a healthier country," he says.
But tensions in eastern Ukraine threaten to undermine the election, billed as the most important in the nation's history. Polling stations were closed down and those who wished to vote were intimidated into staying home. Men bearing machine guns set up checkpoints across the city of Donetsk, fraying nerves and indicating that an end to conflict is unlikely nowhere near.
In an impassioned appeal on television Saturday night, acting Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk called on all Ukrainians who can to vote in a show of unity.
"I want to assure our fellow countrymen from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, who will not be able to vote because of the war, that criminals won't terrorize your land for long," Mr. Yatsenyuk said.
A cycle of upheaval
Today's vote is seen as the only way to get Ukraine, mired in a vicious cycle of economic and political upheaval, beyond crisis.
Ukraine was thrust into chaos in February, after mass protests led to the ouster of the Kremlin-backed leader, Viktor Yanukovych. His dismissal of a trade and political association deal with the European Union angered Ukrainians who say their future is with Europe.
While his ouster was widely supported in the capital and western part of the country, those in the industrial east and south distrusted the interim government. Russian President Vladimir Putin called the ouster a coup and the acting leaders "fascists."
In the months since, Ukraine has been rocked by the highest level of violence since it gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, with armed separatists, security forces, and protesters all killed in the fighting.
Mr. Putin annexed Ukraine's Crimean peninsula – provoking worldwide condemnation – and was accused of stoking tensions in parts of Ukraine, especially Donetsk and Luhansk. Separatists in those two regions held referendums on May 11 and declared themselves sovereign nations. Russia has not moved to interfere as it did in Crimea, where no vote was held Sunday.
Voting to move on
Campaigning itself has been muted. In Kiev, there are hardly any signs of an election underway. That's in part because residents say they are tired and saddened after tense and unpredictable months in the Maidan, the central square where protests began and turned deadly.
It's also because the election is in many ways already decided. Voters seem to care more about having an elected president again than who actually wins.
The clear frontrunner is Petro Poroshenko, also known as the "chocolate king" for his lucrative candy company. Polling five times higher than his nearest rival, Yulia Tymoshenko, his win is all but guaranteed.
As a former political leader and one of the richest men in the country, Mr. Poroshenko is not overwhelmingly popular, but many voters said they were casting votes for him to avoid prolonging the crisis with a runoff on June 15.
"I am not happy about any of the presidential candidates," says Elena Kulakevich, a voter in Kiev. If the country weren't in crisis, she says she wouldn't vote at all.
Fear in the east
Putin has said he will support today's race, but there are still doubts that he, or rebels in the east, will accept the results. Authorities in Kiev say only 20 percent of stations in Donetsk and Luhansk are open.
It is unclear how many residents actually side with separatist actions in those areas. Many in the east say they are determined to cast votes so that elections are not declared illegitimate. Residents of Donetsk city, with a population of about 1 million, headed to neighboring towns where separatists have not been able to shut down polling stations.
In Krasnoarmiisk, a mining town of about 80,000, all polling stations seemed to be functioning today. "We just need this election to be accepted so we can get on and have a legitimate power in Kiev," says Olga Kvitka, a poll worker there. "It's just total chaos now here...in Ukraine, you see? They even closed our banks. We don't know if we'll get paid even for our work now."
But a clear majority stayed away. Daniel Antonchick, from the town of Kramatorsk, where elections are not being held, says that voting would mean risking his life. "No one in my city would do that," he says in Donetsk.
At the church ceremony in Kiev, Tatiana Baranchuk, who attended with her husband, says she is praying for the entire nation, but especially the east.
"We are worried about the situation in the east, where people are frightened and worried about their lives," she says.
Priest Kvatyrko says construction of the cathedral, which will eventually hold 1,000 people, is significant because the original was torn down by Soviet atheists in between the two world wars. The groundbreaking, he says, is a new page for the history of the cathedral. And this election, he hopes, "will turn a new page for Ukraine."
Sabra Ayres contributed reporting from Donetsk, Ukraine.

Felicity Strunce had the importance of community service impressed on her at a young age. As an active volunteer throughout her life, she saw her mother spend countless hours sorting clothes for church donations, taking resources to needy families and rescuing abandoned animals.
The trait for giving back was passed down a generation: Felicity has used her undergraduate degree in psychology and human services to work in jobs that range from Human Resources and volunteer administration to service within the church.
More than a year ago—just a few short months after relocating to Franklin from the Washington D.C. area—Felicity began pursuing a commitment to Williamson County CASA as a trained advocate for abused and neglected children in the court system.
"I believe we should all be serving our community in some way. My heart is in any area that helps others and supports those doing the outreach. CASA does just that," she says. "To give children a voice is an incredible privilege, and it's amazing that there is an organization like this one that helps you do that."
Felicity first learned of the organization through a church member back in Virginia, one who had adopted 12 foster children with CASAs. When she got settled in Williamson County, one of her priorities became learning more about the program on a local level.
Though she says she was initially frightened by the scope of a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate)'s responsibility, Felicity quickly learned that she wasn't in this alone: the resources and support system within the organization was a comfort through the process.
"The more I got to know about this organization and the staff here, the more comfortable I became. I was scared at first because of our responsibility," she said. "But I wasn't aware of the level of training you receive. I—and anyone really—can do this because of the support here. CASA is now a regular part of my life."
As a mother of three, Felicity was even more impressed with Williamson County CASA's influence in a child's life when she began helping WCCASA Advocate Supervisor Audrey Freshwater with paperwork. With four cases under her belt, the volunteer says she is now an active voice about the importance of the non-profit in the county.
"I believe deeply in protecting the helpless. The thought of a child not having someone to look out for their interests and helping them have a bright future is heartbreaking to me," she said. "CASA gives children with no advocacy in their own homes a glimmering hope. I see how much CASA is truly needed."
Because she spends several hours a week at the WCCASA office in downtown Franklin, Felicity has gotten to know the staff members on a more personal level. She says the relationships that have been formed are an indicative of the heart of the organization.
"I absolutely love the people who run Williamson County CASA. Spending a lot of time doing support services for them has allowed me to see their hearts and dedication," she said. "I admire their knowledge and expertise that they bring and how it is propelling CASA into making a great difference in our community."

9U 2017 Cal Ripken State Champs!Updated Thursday July 20, 2017 by John Hand.
Niskayuna Warriors 9U All Stars Grab Lead in Fifth Inning for Victory Over East Fishkill 4-1 to win the 9U Cal Ripken Eastern NY State Championship
Video of last out: https://youtu.be/W61pR4TdhjY
YourNisky Article: https://yourniskayuna.com/blog/2017/07/19/niskayuna-wins-9u-ripken-title/
Niskayuna Warriors 9U defeated East Fishkill 4-1 on Tuesday in Poughkeepsie after taking the lead late in the game. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the 5th, Nisky's Jackson Horner pinch hit hitting a triple. Dillon Wood proceeded to earn a walk via hit by pitch. Will Souza re-entered the game as a pinch runner for Dillon. After the runner at first stole second, Matthew Hand hit a sacrifice fly to deep right to score Jackson, and advance the runner at second to third. Braden Fields then stepped up and delivered a hard ground ball to the third baseman. Will Souza ran on contact, and expertly slid under the tag for Nisky to take the lead 2-1. Cam Grasso then stepped up to the plate, pulling a line drive to the 225 foot fence for a 2 run, inside the park home run to put Nisky up 4-1.
Cam earned the win for Niskayuna . He pitched two innings, surrendering zero runs, zero hits, and striking out three. Matthew started the game for Niskayuna Warriors 9U. He threw four innings, giving up one run, six hits, striking out one, and walking zero.
Niskayuna Warriors 9U didn't commit a single error in the field.
Lead by Alex Kerr in average and RBI's in the State Tournament, Nisky is currently 10-0 in All Star play including playing a 14 inning game in Districts and back to back doubleheaders in pool play at States.
In the Semi-Finals verse North Colonie, Sami Chowdrey put Nisky on the board early with a 2 RBI Triple to left field. Bryan Yetto went 2-3 in the game. He caught a fly ball in center in the top of the 6th and then, with the bases loaded, recorded a six pitch save on a ground ball force out to Willem Greene at third throwing home and a pop up to second base.
In the pool play clincher, Willem Greene earned the save with 3 clutch innings of relief to secure the #1 Seed for Nisky. Charles Gadsden sparked an early lead verse Highland in pool play with a lead off bunt single and lead the team in on base percentage during States.
The 8 person pitching staff including specialist Justin Black's 0.00 WHIP, surrendered just 3.7 runs per game at States.
In Districts, Cyrus Matia delivered a walk off 2 RBI double in the bottom of the 14th inning over North Colonie to put Nisky in the lead position to clinch a District title.
Good luck to the 9U All Stars as they travel to Douglasville, PA (Daniel Boone) for the 9U Mid-Atlantic Regional.

Adam - are you joking?
How Quartz is created
Quartz is a defining constituent of granite and other felsic igneous rocks. It is very common in sedimentary rocks such as sandstone and shale. It is a common constituent of schist, gneiss, quartzite and other metamorphic rocks. Quartz has the lowest potential for weathering in the Goldich dissolution series and consequently it is very common as a residual mineral in stream sediments and residual soils.
While the majority of quartz crystallizes from molten magma, much quartz also chemically precipitates from hot hydrothermal veins as gangue, sometimes with ore minerals like gold, silver and copper. Large crystals of quartz are found in magmatic pegmatites. Well-formed crystals may reach several meters in length and weigh hundreds of kilograms.
That's how you make quartz crystals...and oh, yeah, you have to wait several millennia for them to get big.
A GCSE or equivilent text book from a local library should clear this up. Even better, one of my favourate books called the "Crystal Bible" has a thorough introduction to how crystals form and grow.
That said; no, buried crystals won't grow.
"That said; no, buried crystals won't grow."
But they will get dirty, which serves no useful purpose.
crystals can grow, it just depends. some people grow different kinds of crystals pretty much from scratch. the details involved in a crystal growing determine whether it will grow or not.
Well, now you know better. You can 'grow' crystal quartz, but it will take you extremely high heat, extremely high pressure and several million years to do so.
The salt is just dissolved in the liquid. When the water evaporates, the salt reforms into crystals and precipitates out.
As for your bowl, a wooden bowl is porous. The salt and water seeps through. This happens with clay gardening pots as well.
As I understand it, the salt travels along the necklace cord to the outside of the bowl? That's normal, just water being soaked up. It may only be tiny amounts of water, too small to see, but each second some of the water escapes and evaporates.
Also, salt is formed when salt water evaporates. You cannot dissolve quartz in water. Quartz forms from molten magma. This means that you would need to use molten magma to 'grow' a quartz crystal, just as you need salt water to 'grow' a salt crystal.
So, to form salt, use salt water.
To form quartz, use molten magma.
Hope this helps!
Lizzie did answer your question. The water is traveling, the amount is just minute. Too small for the naked eye to see.

Artist Statement
Vron Harris' practice is interested in the construction of film, the representation of time and the materiality of different media. There's an interest in the possibility of using still images to create a sense of movement and moving images to create a sense of stillness.
This sense of a still image: of a moment that 'was now' but has since past, and the possibility of the moving image to re-animate these stills into the appearance of life, allows an exploration of both the materiality and the illusion of the moving image and how these oppositions and tensions might relate and interact with one another.
Vron's work has been exhibited in galleries and online and published in both books and DVDs.

Arielle Tipa "Adam"
They limit you
summarize you
you to
sugar-riddled daydreams,
and sales on cotton negligees
that emphasize the evidence
of your womanhood,
of your potential
for a double-take.
They assume you want to be a teacher,
just so you can harness
your maternal faculties –
it's inborn, you are a girl,
after all.
They assume they are
the unassailable prodigies –
first-born, first priorities
of a scorched earth.
God is a man, after all.
They forget that
they did not come
crawling out
of an undulating void
with overwhelming varieties
of pink and pitch.
They were forced out
by the lacerating, undaunted
hands of a woman,
who consoled their case
in having a boy.

Repeat after me: you are more than your job, more than your 9-5, more than that paycheck.
It's not uncommon to get caught up in the whirlwind of work. There are meetings and coffee dates, presentations to buildout, Keynotes to edit, and brands to partner with. Are you still there? Have we lost you in your coffee cup? We know it takes hard word, determination, and more than a handful of late nights and early AMs.
Sometimes the need to keep up can get us down. Especially when we feel like we're falling behind and losing sight of work-life balance. But Michelle Wahler, co-founder and CEO of Beyond Yoga encourages women to embrace who and what they are right in this moment-- "perfect."
We're using a few of Beyond's core values as mantra to remind ourselves to stay balanced, positive, and that we are more than what it says on our LinkedIn profile.
Beyond Yoga's mission is to empower and celebrate women, just as they are. Which means having the confidence that you can handle whatever lands on your desk or in your inbox.
There is power in simply telling yourself you can do it. Whether in the morning before heading out the door, or taking a mid-day break to breathe in these words.
What you do matters, both in the office and out. More often than not, we put our interests andhobbies on the back-burner when we are consumed by work life. But when you feel better, your ideas are better.
The energy you bring into your job seeps into your work. Taking care of yourself and nurturing who you are as an individual is just as important as taking care of business at work. Not only will it help you be more productive, but by taking time from your day to celebrate the things that make you who you are outside of the office will keep you inspired as well.
This is not a chicken and egg issue. When you bring good vibes into your work, you will feel rewarded by the end result. You will look at what you've produced and feel excited to share and carry it out into the world. You are beyond your work, because that when that work makes a difference, it goes into the world.
So, as you're reading this now, take some time to go to that spin class you've been meaning to hit up for weeks. Pick up the hobby you haven't practiced since you started your new job. Schedule your Sunday as family time.

The environment is getting better....
Yes, for years things have been improving...
The warnings of doom and tidings of gloom have been with us since 1970, and have not abated. There is no evidence in the press or on the bookshelves that anything has ever gotten better. So logically, there is something wrong here. If all the trends have been so bad for so long, why are we living longer than ever before, and not suffering from the mass shortages, major wars, starvation and black skies that have been foretold for decades?
Actually there is nothing wrong with the logic, it's the facts that are out of whack. Most things related to the environment and public health have actually been getting better, not worse, ever since Canada, the United States, and the other western countries began enacting regulatory legislation in the 1970s.
What do I mean by most things? Air pollution, water pollution, nutrition, health and lifespan, rescue of endangered species, infant mortality, agriculture, poverty, human rights and freedom to name a few.
What has happened is quite strange. The very environmental organizations and activists who were responsible for helping make such improvements possible absolutely refuse to admit they have in fact been victorious on so many issues. They, and all of the media, and now the entire culture, are stuck in a self-perpetuating and totally false aura of doom.
The facts about where we are now compared to where we have been, can be found in my 2007 book, Where We Stand: A Surprising Look at the Real State of Our Planet. Thanks to the Bush administration, the last decade was probably the worst for environment and public health policy for quite some time. Despite that, the improvements that started in the 1970s have continued. Three (of the many) areas of continued improvement during the past 10 years are: air pollution, toxic exposures, and endangered species.
Concentrations of the major toxic air pollutants have all declined in North America during the bad decade of the naughts. Carbon monoxide air levels are less than half what they were in 2000. Sulfur dioxide has decreased by one-third from what it was at the beginning of the decade. Particulates have decreased by 20 per cent, nitrogen dioxide by 30 per cent, and ozone by 15 per cent.
What about carbon dioxide, the evil culprit behind global warming? We certainly know that CO2 emissions keep spiralling out of control, right? Well, no, wrong. Carbon dioxide emissions have been steadily declining in the past five years.
We have heard a lot about body burdens of dangerous chemicals. The well-known journalist, Anderson Cooper, was found to contain a number of chemicals in his blood stream. Aside from the fact that the levels of such chemicals were tens or hundreds of times lower than minimum toxic doses, does this raise the question of a new and terrible trend of increasing chemical contamination of our bodies? In reality, the reverse is true. Our chemical body burdens have been decreasing consistently over time since the 1970s. Dieldrin is present in our blood at levels 10 times lower than it once was, PCBs are present from three to five times less and DDT is found at 15 times lower concentrations.
The reason for these decreases is simple. We have been subject to much less chemical exposure than we were decades ago thanks to regulations prohibiting toxic chemical releases into the environment. The best example of this is lead. Since the ban on lead in gasoline and other products, lead in human blood has steadily declined to levels over 100 times less in 2000 than were found in the 1980s. And this decrease continued over the past decade, falling by another 35 per cent from 2000 to 2009.
Everyone knows that biodiversity is doomed on the planet. We have been told that we are losing thousands of species every day. No one knows where this figure comes from, but it doesn't matter. Clearly we are wiping out all of our wildlife, and we are the relentless, uncaring engines of mass extinction.
Actually, no, we are not. The heroic efforts of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, as mandated by the Endangered Species Act, have been incredibly successful, a fact known probably only to the employees of the service and their immediate families. Of the thousands of animals, birds, flowers, insects and plants in the U.S. that have been listed as endangered or threatened, a total of seven have actually gone extinct. And none of these extinctions occurred in the past two decades.
In contrast, bald eagles, crocodiles, grey wolves, river otters, beavers, Lake Erie water snakes, bighorn sheep, wild turkeys, Robbins' cinquefoil (a relative of the rose), Aleutian Canada geese, large-flowered skullcaps, Maguire daisies, flying squirrels, grizzly bears, brown pelicans, Hawaiian hawks, silvery minnows, short-tailed albatross, razorback suckers, Houston toads, black-footed ferrets, San Joaquin kit fox, North Atlantic right whales, and others are recovering, and many have been taken off the endangered list. If this comes as a surprise to you, if you think you missed the headlines, don't worry, there were no headlines. Which doesn't make it less true.

Sketchup Basic Follow Me Tutorial
More Sketchup Tutorials
Welcome to the Sketchup Basic Follow-Me Tutorial. Follow-Me is a versatile tool in Sketchup that allows you to drag geometry along a line, or, if you're following a circle, to create lathe objects. In this tutorial we're only going to be dragging geometry along a line, please see the Follow-Me Lathe Tutorial for details on creating lathe objects. When you're performing a Follow-Me command, you'll have basically two things to worry about: the object you will be extruding, and the path that it will follow. There are multiple ways to define a path that you want to follow, but for this tutorial we will be using the basic method of outlining. Create the extrusion geometry perpendicular, or as close as perpendicular as possible, to the path. Also, try to place the geometry onto the path itself, or Sketchup will try to position it for you. Activate the Follow-Me tool, and then click on the extrusion face. Move the mouse over the path that you want to follow, and Sketchup will highlight those edges in red. Follow the path, and when you've achieved the desired result, click to finalize.

Featured title on IBHRE's Cardiac Electrophysiology Core Reading List Recommendations for the Physician and Allied Professional - more information
From senior electrophysiologist and world-class educator George Klein, a fully illustrated guide with over 100 intracardiac tracings and figures that allow the physician to approach electrophysiologic problems effectively and systematically.
The book is especially focused on electrophysiological maneuvers and provides a clear and understandable guide to their proper selection and interpretation using abundant clinical examples.
Defines the integral role for "traditional" electrogram (EGM) analysis in order to understand the mechanism of a tachycardia.
It goes without saying that a correct arrhythmia diagnosis is a prerequisite to catheter ablation regardless of the presence of sophisticated mapping and imaging technologies. Electrophysiological maneuvers are fundamental to this process, and proper selection and interpretation of maneuvers constitute a core skill of the electrophysiologist. In this volume, we make the case that most maneuvers are fundamentally similar in principle and can be understood by appreciating a few basic physiological and anatomical principles. The art lies not in a comprehensive knowledge by rote of every maneuver or its application, but rather a systematic approach using common principles. We illustrate this by showing abundant examples and emphasizing the "game plan," including checklists that can be applied to virtually any maneuver.
—George J. Klein
In my opinion, this book should be on the shelf of every electrophysiologist trainee as well as every clinical cardiac electrophysiologist. It is a classic, like its editor. Dr. Klein deserves high praise for organizing his and his colleagues' clinical experiences and thought processes into a concise, practical text that should be part of all training programs in electrophysiology.

Doody's Review Service Book Review:
Saima Karim, D.O. (Ochsner Clinic Foundation)
This book presents a comprehensive approach to electrophysiological maneuvers starting with a simplified explanation of basic concepts of intracardiac electrograms and then progressing to specific pacing maneuvers during sinus rhythm as well as various arrhythmias.
The purpose is to detail the principles of electrophysiological maneuvers, explain how to perform the maneuvers, and to help readers master the interpretation of the intracardiac electrograms.
The audience includes technicians, nurses, and clinicians who have been exposed to the electrophysiology laboratory and have to either use the stimulator or interpret intracardiac findings.
The book covers the physiological concepts behind the maneuvers used in electrophysiology, the methods for execution of the maneuvers, the subsequent intracardiac electrograms generated, and their interpretation. The benefits and pitfalls of these maneuvers are described as well. Unique to this book is the simplification of the basic principles in electrophysiological maneuvering and their interpretation.
This book comprehensively discusses the principles behind electrophysiology studies. The importance of understanding cardiac anatomy, the physiology behind the maneuvers, the study of arrhythmias, and the benefits as well as the shortcomings of specific maneuvers are well elucidated.

Scotty Bowman knows all about coaching in the Stanley Cup final.
The Hall of Famer, now a Chicago Blackhawks senior advisor, won nine Cups as a coach and three more in a front office capacity.
But you don't need Bowman's accumulated wisdom to know what the Hawks have to do better heading into Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final, a series they trail 2-1 to the Boston Bruins.
"They've got a lot on their plate," Bowman said of Chicago's coaching staff. "They've got to figure out the faceoffs. They've got to figure out the power play. They've been trying all year. The faceoffs, especially. Seventy percent is a big advantage."
The Bruins, led by centre Patrice Bergeron — who won 24 of the 28 draws — were 40-16 in the faceoff circle in Game 3 for an astounding 71% success rate.
Therefore, the Hawks were starting almost three-quarters of the game's shifts chasing the puck.
Bowman, who's just about seen it all, said the Bruins are up to a little chicanery in the faceoff circle.
"They're doing some tricks. They're putting a phoney in at the beginning. They get thrown out. They are not going to call the second guy (for cheating)," Bowman said.
In the insular world of the NHL, one of coaches guiding the Bruins to faceoff success is Doug Jarvis, a former player of Bowman's when he walked the Montreal Canadiens' bench.
"One of the best centremen I ever had was Doug Jarvis. He's on their side. Doug never got thrown out very much. He always wanted to get down and get ready. He just had quick reflexes. That's a big factor. "You've got to look at video. You've got to show your guys. Some guys were like 10-0, 9-1. Bergeron was 24-4. Whatever he's doing…he's does get down and set, then he moves after. I think you have to look at that and bring it to your players' attention."
When asked what the Hawks had to do to get competitive in the circle, Chicago forward Dave Bolland, 1-7 on the night, said, "I don't know. Maybe crowd the circle a little more. They're a good faceoff team."
He added the Bruins centremen are making the most out of home-ice advantage since the visitor has to put his stick down and be set for the faceoff first.
"You get a look to see what they're doing, where their feet are, where their hands are, always looking to see what they're doing," he said. "When you have the last chance to look, it's an advantage."
The faceoff situation has an impact on special teams, too. When a short-handed team wins the draw, the puck is down the ice and that can burn up to 30 seconds of a power play.
The Bruins won the faceoff in their zone after each of the first four penalties they took in Game 3.
Bergeron beat Hawks centre Jonathan Toews — who beat out Bergeron for the Selke Trophy as the league's top defensive forward — on the first two. Rich Peverley beat Toews on the third and Chris Kelly defeated Patrick Sharp on the fourth.
"Bergeron had one of those nights that you like to have in a career," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "I think across the board, we've been watching the group of centremen here, digesting it, dissecting it, knowing we have to be better as well."
Quenneville agreed one of the issues with the power play — the Hawks were 0-for-5 in Game 3 and are 0-for-11 in the final – was a lack of success in the faceoff circle.
"It starts with losing the draw initially. That's the area we have to get better," he said.
The Hawks will also have to look at how they are entering the Boston zone. Once they lose the draw and the Bruins get the puck out, the B's have been able to set up their neutral zone forecheck.
"We're still going to have to find a way to get through it and find ways to have possession off it. Might have to go indirectly to get it and have puck battles to get more retrievals," Quenneville added.
His squad knows what they have to do to have a chance to win Game 4 and tie this series.
Problem is doing it against a Bruins team that looks a little faster, a lot sharper in its execution, and miles ahead of them in the faceoff circle.

I have a dresser in my office that's full of my photography and gadget-related stuff. One drawer is dedicated mostly to cables, and these are the contents of that drawer. I don't really remember actually going out and getting any of those cables - with the exception of that active extension USB cable, that is.
Not pictured is the 30' FlashZebra sync cable that's attached to my camera and the speedlite that I'm lighting this shot with.

Summer is one of the slowest seasons for online sellers, but it does provide more time for us to prepare for the upcoming holidays. In this series, we'll tell you how you can use these slower months to prepare for the upcoming holiday selling frenzy and stay productive.
Our series will share with you how and where to find the hot items for the season, plus how to prep your shipping center, create great descriptions, market your items and more.
Let's start with how and where to find items to sell.
I know it can be hard to keep up with what's hot and what's not. Personally, I don't have the time or energy to stay on top of the latest trends, so I use the "learn as I go" method. For sellers like me, some of the first go-to resources include Terapeak, eBay and Amazon.
Terapeak is a technology that gathers data from millions of online stores so sellers can quickly see what's selling and when. You must be a paying member to use the resource, but the cost makes up for all the time you save trying to gather and analyze sales data yourself.
Look for products that will fulfill Santa's list, like new gadgets, but also look for inventory for other holidays throughout the year
You can also use eBay's Completed Listings to tune into what's selling. And Amazon keeps an updated Best Sellers list of all its popular products, including hot new releases, and movers and shakers.
Look for products that will fulfill Santa's list, like new gadgets, and find fresh angles on things you know always sell well. And while Christmas is the main holiday that consumers shop for, don't forget to look for inventory for other holidays throughout the year, like Labor Day (ahem, camping and grilling supplies), back to school, Halloween, New Year's and Valentine's Day.
For online sellers, these festive seasons provide the best opportunity for sales as buyers hunt for clothing, supplies, decorations and gifts. Look for quality products, such as working iPhones and iPads, winter sports gear, popular toys, and ugly sweaters for those fun December parties. Also keep an eye out for quality vintage décor items, which are very popular in some circles.
You might also consider holidays observed by different religions and cultures, as well as special occasions that happen every day. I'm talking about birthdays, anniversaries, quinceañeras, bar mitzvahs, housewarmings and similar celebrations. These occasions call for wrapping paper, party supplies, unique gifts and today's hot products.
During these warm summer months, keep in mind that this is the glorious time of year when our neighbors clutter their yards with used treasures for sale, and cars with bumper sticks that read "I brake for yard sales" line the curb.
Many eBay sellers adore yard sales, and why not? It is one of the hottest—in both senses of the word—ways to get a good deal on items. If you're not already using this fun way to source products, now's a good time to start. Look for Christmas decorations and unopened toys, and even bed linens that kids outgrow. These could be Barbie-, Cars- or Toy Story-themed, for example.
What doesn't sell at yard sales usually ends up at thrift stores, so make regular trips to your favorite ones and learn when they host big discounts, too
Whatever doesn't sell at yard sales usually ends up at thrift stores, so make regular shopping trips to your favorite stores and learn when they host big discounts, too. Also, if your area offers it, look to get on the mailing lists for local estate sales. They're fun and rewarding, albeit a little competitive.
Browse Craigslist for trendy toys and gadgets that are still marketable. While you're there, post a wanted ad for things you know your customers like to buy. Also, talk to friends and family to see if they want to consign some items through you. Remind them it will help clear their clutter and earn them some holiday cash. They could end up just giving you their products for free to clear out their homes.
A lot of eBay sellers practice the art of arbitrage. They buy from discount and retail stores—they even buy from eBay—and then resell the marked-up item for profit. This works because not only do stores try to clearance their end-of-season inventory, but some buyers don't have access to the stores you take for granted.
If you haven't tried tradeshows and wholesalers yet, maybe 2013 is your year to expand sourcing boundaries a little bit.
Tradeshows are, in general, events where companies present ideas, trends and products to merchants and related professionals. While some tradeshows are closed to the public, consumer fairs are open to everyone.
Start browsing for tradeshows in your area on the National Retail Federation's website or Tradeshowusa.com, or try using your favorite search engine to locate an upcoming exhibition in your area. Search under such titles as "trade fairs," "retail tradeshows" and "wholesale trade expos."
I fell in love with a particular clothing brand. I contacted the company about its wholesale program and the owner sent me a contract to look over
You can also find merchant marts located in some major cities. These permanent exhibitions are open year-round and also host trade fairs. Check out some of the big city marts in Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York and Seattle.
Also check out cash-and-carry shows. These avenues of sourcing provide instant inventory just in time for your Christmas sales.
While it's not always easy to establish your first contract with a wholesaler, it's not impossible. Many of the big brand names may not work with you, so try smaller companies to get your feet wet and build a foundation.
I fell in love with a particular clothing brand that is relatively small. I contacted the company to ask about its wholesale program and the owner sent me a contract to look over.
Nick Spence, marketing coordinator for AmazonGenius, says he usually goes to AliExpress and Alibaba.com when he's looking for bulk inventory. After thorough research on what he thinks will sell, he tests the market with a few items then finds the right manufacturer to work with.
Sourcing products for holiday inventory can be a big job, but you should have a little spare time to find some new inventory if your summer sales are poking along. Stay tuned for Part 2 of this series to help you get your shipping center squared away now for the upcoming holiday season.

Indoor Rowing is an awesome form of exercise. The world is starting to take notice, and that includes The New York Times. We were recently mentioned in an article about Indoor Rowing in The New York Times, with owner/instructor Charles getting a great quote:
Charles Anderson, 30, a former Georgia Tech rower who opened Rowbot Fitness in suburban Atlanta in 2012, plays Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" to jokingly remind clients of form. "Most people think of rowing as an arms exercise, and they think of it as pulling," he said. "But it's primarily a pushing workout. You're pushing with your legs."

Jane's Country Kitchen
8125 Broadway, Lemon Grove
This is ridiculous, sneaking in here like a criminal. But no way could I ask Hank to come along. Mention greasy spoon these days and he's, like, "Get behind me, Satan!"
Me? I was born with a greasy spoon in my mouth. I fwop through the screen door. Swing into the saddle of a counter stool. Middle-aged gal brings the menu. She wears a flag-decked T-shirt that says "Heart of America."
"Something to drink?" she asks.
Name's Sharon.
"Cawfee," I grunt.
"Decided what you want?"
I notice they've got cinnamon rolls for a buck. Why not, for starters?
While I'm waiting, I look 'round this li'l old place I've been hankering after. (Sorry, Hank.) It's a "bin there forever" joint in a cream two-story building just outside of downtown Lemon Grove. The room's long and narrow, cute country pix dotted about, booths down one side, counter down the other.
Sharon brings my cinnamon roll steaming hot. Oh yes. Sweet, sticky, pure goo. And with the endless-refill coffee ($1.10), there's enough buzz to clear the fuzz in my head. On the sound system, Neil Diamond croons "Song Sung Blue." Always liked that title. Sounds kinda Chinese.
But now it's major decision time. Lessee: Two eggs, hash browns, and toast are $3.50. Good country price. Add ham, bacon, or sausage, and it's $5.40. I see one go by. Wow. The damned sausage patty is as big as a lily pad. Five, six inches across. "Half a pound," says Sharon. They have omelets, like the machaca (or Spanish, or hamburger, or nopalitos -- cactus), in any one of six sizes, mini ($5.55), small ($6.00), medium ($6.65), large ($8.45), extra large ($9.25), and jumbo ($11.00). "Don't kid yourself about the sizes," says this guy Joseph in one of the booths. "I'm eating the 'small' machaca omelet. Look at it. I'll be taking half home."
"Go for the steak breakfasts," says this older feller, Larry, at the next booth. "That's their thing."
I see he's worked through most of his own big ol' slab of ham.
He points to a bunch of chalkboard specials. "Homemade Country Steak," $6.00. Ham steak and eggs, $6.45. Pork steak and eggs, $6.45. Plus "Huevos Rancheros," $5.15. Corned-beef hash and eggs, $5.70. Biscuits and gravy with one egg, $4.15.
"How 'bout biscuits and gravy?" I say. "Would it fill you?"
"Darn tootin'," Larry says. "But those steaks..."
I want to agree. I do. But when Sharon shows up, I suddenly remember that loose tooth I've got. One tough steak and I'll be heading TJ way. "Corned-beef hash," I announce, and I can hear what everyone's thinking. "Wimp." Guilty as charged, but better to live to chew another day.
Sharon says has been serving steak breakfasts for nearly 50 years. She's been working here for 22. Jonathan, young guy who appears from the kitchen, says he and his pa, José, just bought it three or four months ago. "My dad called me up one day and said, 'You want to buy a restaurant with me?' "
So they purchased this place from Donna, the daughter of the actual Jane, who opened the doors in 1957.
Ham-steak Larry says, "About the only thing they changed is they took down all the Elvis stuff that had been on the walls forever."
"They didn't change me," Sharon says.
She sets down my plate. The middle is all corned-beef hash, laid out in rows, as if a tractor had plowed it. Two eggs over easy sit on the right. On the left are actual hash browns, but different. They're cut wide, like fettuccine. Huh. Sharon leaves a bowl with lemon quarters to squeeze into your water or iced tea. Nice touch. There's also a plate of pre-buttered wheat toast, strawberry jam, ketchup, and a pitcher -- yes, pitcher -- of homemade salsa to, like, pour on.
That's exactly what I do over the hash-brown snake pit. Then I fist-thump a blob of ketchup -- blurt -- onto the corned-beef hash, and we're rockin'. Oh man. This is breakfast as it should be. Flavorful, the way Grandma used to serve. Except she always had boiled cabbage beside the corned-beef hash. Made us wish the dogs liked cabbage as much as corned beef.
I stick the two toasts under the huevos and -- it's gotta be the food -- soon enough Larry and me and the guys in the booth next door are chewing the fat like old buddies. Turns out Larry's from Texas. His dad was a wildcatter. "He struck oil several times. Trouble was, there was always salt water with it. No good."
Joseph says he's been coming here to Jane's since '76. "I went to Mount Miguel High School. We called this our 'late-night recovery room,' like, where we'd come to sober up. You always got big portions. You knew everyone. And it's still the same. I mean, this omelet. Six bucks, but two of you can split it. They don't mind. Believe me, half will fill you up."
'Course these days closes at 2:00 p.m., but Jonathan says his pop has dreams of opening in the evenings again -- to serve Puerto Rican food. "That's where his family came from," he says.
Sharon packs the second half of Joseph's machaca omelet to go. Then she heads to the back and starts clanking away, washing dishes. By hand.
As I leave, Three Dog Night wails, "Mama told me not to come..."
Hank'd be nodding agreement. But as my grandma used to say, "A little of what you fancy does you good."
