Sketch books
Sketchbooks can show the unfolding of an idea in sequence, developed through experiments with shapes and colour variations. Works in the exhibition that started life in a sketchbook include Prism's Not titled [red shoes] and Lister's Mr Sinister.
Taken from a small sketchbook drawing, the work Mr Sinister illustrates the artist's signature style of angular, expressive lines and large blocks of colour. The splatter of pink spray-paint across the left had side of the composition gives the impression that the Dracula inspired figure of Mr Sinister has been caught in the gruesome act of feasting on his victim's blood. This drawing has been enlarged and developed as unique work on paper especially for the national collection.
Sketchbooks also give an insight into the development of creative processes. Reks's sketchbook, Chickenpox, evokes the viral spread of street art through the urban landscape. Like many sketchbooks, it shows the unfolding of an idea in sequence, developed through experiments with shapes and colour variations. An image of children in a playground changes mood with different coloured skies, and again with the introduction of a Star Wars space-ship motif borrowed from another page in the sketchbook. Reks zooms in on a face across three pages so that it becomes increasingly fragmented and abstract.

Contemporary photographers featured at Art Museum, April 20-May 26
Posted April 30, 2002; 03:12 p.m.
Contemporary Views: Photographs by Paul Berger, Sarah Charlesworth, Barbara Ess and Ray K. Metzker, will be on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from April 20 through May 26.
The exhibition brings together recently acquired works by these four photographers. Charlesworth and Ess work in color, and Berger now works exclusively with electronic or digital techniques. Metzker remains strongly committed to the traditional black and white medium of photography.
The photographers represented in the exhibition express a personal message in their work and reveal a sensitivity to the properties of their medium. At the same time, the most recent works by the four artists reveal much about broad trends in the complex field of current photographic approaches and strategies.

The Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) Program educates people about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact their area and trains them in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community.
History of the CERT Program
Nationally,the concept for CERT training grew out of the Mexico City earthquake in which untrained volunteers who were willing to undertake rescue and life saving steps in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake saved over 800 people. However, over 100 of these volunteer rescuers lost their lives because they did not have sufficient training to accomplish everything they were attempting.
California authorities, visiting Mexico City after the earthquake, saw the potential of having a core of trained volunteers who could respond (without direction) in natural or man-made disasters and save lives while government and other disaster response agencies mobilized an organized response. The concept proved a great success in saving lives and preserving property following the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
In 1994 The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) adopted the program and has started promoting the concept with standardized training nation-wide. FEMA still bases the program on volunteers, but by standardizing the training they feel they can insure a consistent level of training and performance nationwide. Standardized training allows volunteer emergency organizations and government officials from any jurisdiction to be familiar with capabilities and limitations and how to effectively communicate missions to CERT members from other jurisdictions.
After September 11, 2001, America witnessed a wellspring of selflessness and heroism. People in every corner of the country asked, "What can I do?"and "How can I help?" Citizen Corps was created to help all Americans answer these questions through public education and outreach, training,and volunteer service. CERT volunteers are now included in the new Citizen Corps and as part of the overall Homeland Security Team.
Why Should You Become a Member of
Encinitas' Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)?
Because… well, let's put it this way: try to picture this…
- A 7.5 earthquake strikes the San Diego region, hitting North County particularly hard. A number of dwellings have collapsed, killing many people and trapping many more, some severely hurt. Emergency Services rush to the scene of the first calls they receive and try to help as fast as they can. But there are serious obstacles on their path: segments of highways have become impassable and many roads have suffered significant damage. As a result, traffic is at a standstill almost everywhere. Most cell phone relay towers have crashed, rendering cell phones useless. Land lines have suffered damage as well, making phone calls impossible. In addition, gas leaks have started fires in dozens of houses and apartment complexes and need to be extinguished quickly lest they extend to entire city blocks or trigger a replay of the San Diego fires of 2003 and 2007. Firefighters and EMS are overwhelmed. Some hospitals have suffered destruction and disruption, too.
- Where will you be when this happens (and it will happen, all geologists agree on that)?
- Will you be at home with your loved ones, or will you be at work, and therefore cut off from them and not able to reconnect, maybe for days? What will you do? What should you do? Will you know? Are you counting on your neighbors or co-workers to tell you what to do in such a situation? Do you have an emergency backpack in your car? If you're away from home, you may have to make it back on foot. What takes 45minutes over the highway today may take a day walking the same distance. Do you have enough food and water to make the trip? Do you have a first-aid kit? You will probably encounter people who will need your help. Will you be able to do so or will you have to ignore their pleas for assistance? Wherever you find yourself when the earthquake strikes, there is a very good chance that many neighborhoods will be on their own during the early stages following a catastrophic disaster of this magnitude.
Such disasters in the recent past have shown that most people, when they are not hurt themselves, want to volunteer and help others. But without proper training, they can expose themselves to potential injury and even death. To take just one example, do you know how to recognize the danger of downed power lines? Basic training in disaster survival and rescue skills improves the ability of citizens to survive and take care of others less fortunate until professional responders arrive.

By The Associated Press
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. — The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has cited the Tennessee Valley Authority for purchasing thousands of parts not documented as nuclear-grade quality. The parts are for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant in Spring City, Tenn.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press (http://bit.ly/X1c8jy), TVA must now hire a contractor to look into at least 6,200 shipments of different parts. Some have already been installed and some date to 1995.
It was also unclear Thursday whether some of the parts might also have gone to the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant in Soddy-Daisy, Tenn., and the Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant near Athens, Ala.
TVA officials who met Thursday with regulators in Atlanta said their engineers didn't notice a 1995 requirement change on testing of parts from vendors who weren't nuclear-certified.
The new requirement was put into place when the NRC found nuclear operators were having problems finding nuclear-grade parts as reactor construction lagged following the Three Mile Island accident in 1979. The agency required parts obtained from vendors who did not hold nuclear certification must receive special and strict industry testing and operators must document it.
TVA spokeswoman Gail Rymer said the nuclear plants are safe and the public is not at risk.
Joe Calle, TVA's manager for what the federal utility calls its "recovery project," told the NRC Thursday about 11 percent of the parts have been reviewed. None have been found defective, Calle said.
TVA had no estimate Thursday of how much it will cost to check all the parts, ensure their quality and replace any found substandard.
Calle also said TVA views the situation as a documentation problem and has confidence in the quality of the parts, both because of its history with the vendors and the specifications it provided for the parts.
But he said a drop-down computer menu used by the utility did not have space to make critical notations in records.
"We created our own perfect storm," Calle told the NRC.
Regulatory inspectors first noticed the problem while inspecting Watts Bar in September 2011. A year later, the issue had not been resolved and in February 2012, the NRC gave TVA a "noncited violation" notice.
After inspections in December 2012, January 2013 and February 2013, the NRC increased its oversight, indicating more attention was needed.

In a small town in Ohio they have a teachers union as well, they contribute nothing to retirement,3% to their healthcare and are guarenteed 5% raise everyyear. This town has a school tax seperate from income tax. They tried to pass a levy to get the money to fund the school or it will close within the next 3 years. It did not pass and why did it not pass? Just a few reasons, 1st they aready took away bussing for all high school students 9-12 in a rural farm community, 2 There is a principal for each of 3 schools that also has 2 dean of students and 2 vice principals for a typical graduating class of 100. The lowest paid Dean in the Elem school makes 93k, sadly he is still making less than some of the teachers with "tenure". The test scores are dropping, teachers can't teach when they are not paid properly don't ya know.
So after the levy fails to raise the school tax the teachers tell the students "Thanks to your parents your school is going to close because your parents are selfish and your gonna have to go to another school." Yes this was said and not just a rumor, big deal in a little town.
I pay plenty for my retirement and my healthcare, I do not complain about it. I do not always get a raise, and if I don't I realize it was because I did not perfom above what was expected and I know I need to work harder to get my raise and earn my keep.
On a side note the school also hired 35 "Paraprofessionals" to help the teachers teach.
From what i read he is doing what he said he would...sort of I guess. Maybe he has the right idea.

Crumar Stratus
Introduced in 1982, the Stratus is a somewhat rare, slimmed-down version of the Crumar Trilogy. It is basically two synths in one: a Synthesizer and an Organ synth, which can be played separately or both at the same time. There are independent master volume knobs for the Synthesizer and Organ sections. The Organ section features four horizontal drawbars to adjust the volumes of each of the 4 octaves (2', 4', 8' and 16').
The Stratus is a 6-note polyphonic analog that uses the highly popular CEM chips that have also been used in other popular synths of the time including Jupiters, OB-X synths, Prophets—even modern Dave Smith Instruments. The Stratus has a total of two oscillators (DCOs), and they're fed through divide-down ICs, just like an organ or string machine. The oscillators offer saw and square waveforms, or a mix of the two, and a mono/unison mode. The two oscillators can be tuned separately and synced. A unique option is the "Alternate Saw/Sq" mode which alternates the voices between square and sawtooth waveforms—play a chord and some voices will be square, others will be saw, or bang out a solo and each note will be a different waveform—definitely unique but maybe not always practical.
What is special about the Stratus is that it has six VCFs and six VCAs—one per voice. The filter has a nice warm sound and offers a good amount of flexibility. It has cutoff, resonance, envelope amount controls and and an external pedal control option. The LFO can do FM, wah (when assigned to the VCF) or tremolo (when assigned to the VCA). The LFO section also has adjustable slope and delay controls, an uncommon but useful feature. Another uncommon but interesting feature is the Octave Modulation mode, in which the LFO will apply square wave pitch modulation over an entire octave, resulting in some pretty wild sounds. The Oscillator Glide is a portamento effect with some extra features besides the usual Amount and Speed controls. It can be set to Mono or Multi trigger and has four direction modes. Finally, there is a typical ADSR envelope generator section.
The keyboard is a standard 49-note affair with no velocity or aftertouch. A joystick controller left of the keyboard can be used as a pitch bender that can also modulate the VCF and VCA sections. There are independent outputs for the Organ and Synthesizer sections, pedal control inputs for the filter, sustain pedal, and LFO sync. There is also a TM Interface for use with the Steiner Master's Touch—a wind controller that can be used to create pitch bends and vibratos using your breath. However, there are no CV/Gate options.
The Stratus does not have any sort of user patch memory. But it did originally ship with preset template overlays. These were paper overlays that you lay on to the face-plate (with cutouts for all the knobs) that had markings to indicate where to set each knob in order to re-create a certain preset or sound. See an image here.
The Stratus is rare, has very unique features and it looks and sounds really good too. And the included Organ section makes it stand out from the other more conventional analog poly-synths of the time, such as the Jupiters, Prophets and Oberheim OB-series. The Stratus (along with the Trilogy) marks Crumar's transition from Organ builders to synthesizer builders.

|Classic Atlantic Salmon No pursuit rivals salmon rivers, flies & legacy
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Gaspe Salmon
Hey Troy!
I remember! I am glad that you had a good experience with us when I owned and operated the business. As I am now looking for less stress in my life and a way to get back to my "roots" I have decided to guide on my own and am very happy about the decision I have made.
The rivers look great at the moment and I am getting very excited about casting my first fly this season. As a few of the Gaspe rivers will open on the 22nd of May, I think I will be heading down there to see if I can coax a big bright fish to take my first offering of the season. That is, if there are any fresh ones in at that time. We will see!
I hope to see you this summer! If you are in the area, look me up, I am under Bishop in the phone book in New Richmond.
Tight lines and screaming reels!
Thanks for the info Dave. I knew that you had sold GSD, but not that you were now a totally independent (of GSD) guide. I stayed at GSD a few years back in the fall.
Anyways, I suggested Quebec sporting and Dave because I have used both in the past and have had good experiences.
|Gaspe Salmon
Gaspe fall fishing
Hello Pete and Fontinalis,
There are multiple options for fall fishing. Both the Mirimichi area and the Gaspe are excellent choices for the fall. The Mirimichi fishes until mid to later October, if I am not mistaken, and the Gaspe rivers fish until the end of September.
There are a few differences between the two areas that I am sure many other members here can point out like water clarity, fish runs, number of rivers etc... I would rather not go into detail as I do not want to sway you one way or the other. Perhaps some other readers can fill you in on the differnce between the two.
What I would like to make clear is that I sold my business GSD, in the winter of 2006 and am no longer working for that company. I am now GUIDING as an INDEPENDENT guide. So if you want to reach me, you can only reach me through a PM or by telephone. I do not want to advertise here as it is not allowed, however, there seems to be a lot of confusion as to what my guide status is this year. I can assure you that I will indeed be guiding all summer and fall, just not for my old company which is now owned by another local camp.
If you are looking to make a trip on a less expensive budget, there are several options open to anglers both here on the Gaspe and in the Mirimichi area. You can rent a hotel room, cabin, B&B or camp out and can hire independent guides per day. In Quebec there is no guide law, so you can even fish on your own if you wish.
There are also several good outfitters in NB and QC to choose from if you are looking for a full service package.
If you need any more info, I will be happy to fill you in through a private message.
Juro, I hope that I am not crossing the line between advertising and simple info giving, if I did, I am sorry. I simply want to set the record straight about my guide status as there have been several people that have been misinformed lately.
Fontinalis, thanks for the plug! I appreciate it! I will send you my private info later today.
Screaming reels to you all!
David Bishop
I've fished Gaspe in the Fall for the past couple of years. Unlike New Brunswick, guides are not required in Quebec.
That said, I think that for at least the first visit or two, a guide can be very helpful and useful for learning the rivers and how to fish them. If you are looking at the rivers on the tip (York, Dartmouth, St. Jean), I'd definitely recommend contacting Ann Smith who runs Quebec Sporting.
If you want to fish around the Bonnaventure, Grand and Petite Cascapedia, Dave Bishop I believe is guiding around there (I think he can be reached through the Gaspe Salmon Adventures operation). There are other rivers in the Gaspe, but I have no experience with them.
Tight lines!
Canadian Atlantic Salmon in the fall?
Hi Everyone
Last year I went to Ponds on the Miramichi for a few days and I am currently trrying to work out what I should do this year.
I want to go for about 5 days or so to a good salmon river with reasonable accomodation. I understand that not being a resident that I need a guide - that's OK.
Does anyone know anything about Gaspe?
For me over here in Europe it is just a word.

Except that your final, insulting, vile comment, which has absolutely nothing to do with anything I said, implies that that's what I think should happen.
Where in the world did that come from? Why are you insulting and attacking my observations to the point that it appears you want me to take it personally?
For heaven's sake. If you didn't refute me on things we mostly agree on and follow up with that comment out of nowhere that you yourself felt was off-putting enough that you "bleeped" the key noun--and instead took a civil moment to cogently point out the areas of difference you find so compelling, maybe you'd win me over to your side...
except wait, I thought I was mostly on your side...
but wait, now I don't really want to be. Too bad--you're an interesting guy.
I suppose, then, you don't think I'm all that worth having on your side. I can accept that.
How's this work for you:
I am now on my own side, and divorced from the dialogue if I can stand it. Go ahead and poke me again, if you want--I may or may not bite back, if that's what you're looking for. But I'm not going to bother adding anything new to the conversation, because it's pretty clear you don't give two hoots about what I ACTUALLY say. Which is too bad--I've got more to say, and so do you, and it could be an interesting and nuanced give and take, but there ya' go. I don't have the energy to defend and further explain any more than what's already out there.
Back to my book, which is lovely. "The Story of Edgar Sawtelle." Dogs, Wisconsin... So far, so good.

Officially, none of the Arduino platforms has ever supported add-on RAM (the add-on boards for the MEGA are all from third parties...)
Looks like a good opportunity for a third party vendor to create a board using the Due's chip, but wired up for the hardcore extreme user. Rather than cloning the Due, it'd be an innovative evolution.

text: The colour and texture of the Northern Territory's Tanami Desert are continual points of reference for Pippin Drysdale in the construction and glazing of her porcelain vessels. As a poised and tranquil metaphor for life and survival in an increasingly dry climate, each vessel transcends its formidable craftsmanship to encapsulate space and time. The watermarks in the titles of the group of works illustrated here suggest the slow, ancient withdrawal of water from the desert landscape, the liminal rings of geological age and the leaching of essential elements to the surface. Such evidence is usually seen from the air, oval aircraft windows framing an unrolling spectacle of geological time. Drysdale's vessels collapse and encapsulate this sense of space and time, offering no barriers to our eyes and hands except for the tension of the thin rim that separates the eroded surface from the stillness and profundity of the interior.

It seems inherently wrong to be writing an obituary for Michelangelo Antonioni, who died July 30 in Rome, just a day after we lost Ingmar Bergman. No director did more to combat the idea that a movie is an illustrated novel. His mature films, beginning with Il grido, pare the dialogue to an unsettling minimum; you could watch his most celebrated effort, L'avventura, without subtitles and follow almost everything. That was one of his two revolutions; he also created a post-Copernican cinema where human beings are not always the center of the cosmos. They're not even always the center of his shots — his camera is apt to focus on some interesting landscape or building detail while people wander in and out of the frame. In L'avventura, what looks like the main character, Anna (Lea Massari), wanders out of the story and never wanders back in. "People disappear every day," the Girl (Maria Schneider) tells David Locke (Jack Nicholson) in Antonioni's last great film, The Passenger. "Every time they leave the room," Locke replies.
Antonioni was also adept at making audiences disappear. L'avventura was hissed when it premiered at Cannes in 1960 and the audience realized that Anna wasn't going to reappear and ask Claudia (Monica Vitti) and Sandro (Gabriele Ferzetti) why they were making out with each other instead of looking for her. At least Claudia and Sandro are still there at the end. Two years later, it was L'eclisse that got booed at Cannes. Its two lovers, Piero (Alain Delon) and Vittoria (Vitti), have promised to meet at the usual spot at 8, and Antonioni's camera settles in for the anticipated conclusion, whiling away the time by checking out an automatic sprinkling system and a rain barrel and a building under construction and leaves rustling in the wind. Darkness falls, and after seven minutes of no Piero, no Vittoria, no dialogue, and only a few incidental passers-by, the film ends in a blinding close-up of a street lamp. Some suggested that the eclipse of the title was Antonioni's own.
He came from Ferrara, in the misty Po Valley, the town of Renaissance artist Cosmè Tura and the novelist Giorgio Bassani (Il giardino dei Finzi-Contini). Born in 1912, he didn't make his first feature, Cronaca di un amore, till 1950, and it wasn't till 1957, four Neo-Realist films later, that his mature style began to crystallize, with Il grido, the story of an emotionally isolated Po Valley sugar-refinery worker. There followed the seven films for which he's best known: L'avventura (1960), La notte (1961), L'eclisse (1962), Il deserto rosso (1964), Blow-Up (1966), Zabriskie Point (1970), and The Passenger (1974). Then, as with almost every other '60s auteur, the fade-out: Identificazione di una donna in 1982, a stroke in 1985, Beyond the Clouds, with Wim Wenders, in 1995. It's the small body of work you expect from an uncompromising filmmaker. Il grido took in a paltry 100 million lire at the box office; L'avventura just about broke even in Italy. The three-film deal with Carlo Ponti and MGM that produced Blow-Up, Zabriskie Point, and The Passenger brought financing but also the usual major-studio headaches, like the key scenes cut from the American version of The Passenger. Film-festival juries tended to like his films — La notte won the Golden Bear at Berlin in 1961, Il deserto rosso the Golden Lion at Venice in 1964, Blow-Up the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1967 — and he's been a critics' darling. Yet, decades later, opinion is still at odds over — and mostly weighted against — his American counterculture film, Zabriskie Point, which he made with non-professional and seemingly untalented leads, Mark Frechette and Daria Halprin. (It cost $7 million and grossed less than $900,000.) And though everyone agrees that Blow-Up is a major 20th-century movie, no one seems to know what it's about.

Towser sat alone in a wood. He leaned his head on a stone at his side. He was thinking; you could see that by his big, round eyes.
"I made somebody happy, that's a great comfort," said he (for all that there were tears running down his nose). "I must be happy; I must think I once made somebody happy "—here his little chest swelled out immensely. "It doesn't matter if you're not loved if only you've made somebody happy. Yes, I won't want to be loved any more, I'll just try to page: 120 help people, and then I'll be happy too. You mustn't want to be loved; just to be good."
So he took his head off the stone and went trotting away through the wood. Presently he saw a country boy before him carrying a flitch of bacon; not long after from the bushes at the path‐side burst a gipsy‐looking fellow.
After a minute, the rough fellow said to the boy, "Give me your bacon."
Said the boy, "No."
The man said, "I can make you; there is nobody near."
He took hold of the bacon; the boy began to struggle. He knelt upon the boy. Then every hair upon Towser's little body stood on end, and his tail was stiffened out. He forgot he was Towser, he forgot he wanted to be loved, he forgot everything, and flew at the trousers of the gipsy man. Then the gipsy man thought there was someone coming, ran away, and left the boy and the bacon.
Towser stood in the middle of the path barking furiously. He was in great excitement.
Slowly the country fellow got up; his face was purple with rage. He cut a little stick from the bush growing by; it wasn't thicker than his finger; Towser's backbone was not thicker either.
"So, you stand here barking at me, do you?" said the country fellow. "Why don't you go after page: 121 your master? You want to bite me! do you? do you? do you?"
Towser thought his little backbone would be broken, and when the stick hit his little skull it was terribly sore. The country fellow held him fast with one hand; he was so small he wasn't much to hold, and beat him on his little fore‐feet, and in his eye; then he took up his bacon, and walked away.
Towser went into the brushwood close by, and sat down on his tail and lifted his nose to the sky. The one eye was shut up, but the other was wide open, and the water running out of it.
If he ever went home and became a comfortable, respectable dog, I don't know; the last I saw of him he was sitting there in that wood.

Stay Connected
How can you "let go" of your child without cutting off your love and support? It's not as hard as you might think. In general, students simply like to communicate with their loved ones on their own terms in their own time.
Here are some ways that you can stay connected without infringing on your child's new-found freedom:
- Provide your child with a pre-paid phone card that he or she can use at any time. It's a gentle way of reminding your child to stay in touch. Consider giving your child a cell phone if he or she doesn't have one.
- Communicate via e-mail. It's inexpensive and allows the student to communicate with you as his or her schedule allows.
- Write letters. Many students look forward to the mail delivery every day, even though they don't always have the time to write or call in response. Don't take it personally.
- Check the college's website. Many have a "Parent's Corner" that contains important information about what's happening at the school.
- Send small care packages with items such as treats, quarters for doing laundry, flowers and local news clippings.
- Visit your child during Parent's Weekend. Don't plan to spend every minute of both days with your student. Let your student set the tone for how the weekend is spent.
- Allow yourself to be a "shoulder to cry on". College is stressful and frustrating for many students. When your child calls or writes, listen and don't be judgmental. Students usually aren't asking for a solution to the problem. They simply want to vent to someone.
If your main form of communication is the telephone, here are some ideas for getting the most out of your conversations:
- Make a list of items you want to discuss. Keep it near the phone so that when your child calls, you can cover any important topics.
- Begin your calls with positive news. Don't put a damper on the conversation by immediately bringing up bad news.
- Share news about yourself and life at home, but don't go on and on about people your child doesn't know or like.
- Let your child determine the length of your talk. He or she may need to study or go to class. Controlling the amount of conversation is also another way your child can exercise his or her freedom. If you need more time, ask to schedule some uninterrupted time to talk.
- Don't ask a question if you don't want to hear the answer. If you respond in a judgmental fashion to something your child tells you, it will limit how much he or she shares with you in the future.

It's worthwhile asking why anyone - aside from a few bankers and brokers in and around Queen St - should be interested, let alone excited, about the sharemarket.
The simple answer is that the sharemarket provides the capital required to build great New Zealand businesses.
Businesses that create jobs, businesses that are innovative, businesses that are competitive in our biggest market, Asia, businesses we are proud of, and businesses that we are understandably very upset about when they are sold to foreigners.
As a country we have not invested as much as we should have in our businesses.
We've invested less in infrastructure - machinery, equipment, computers, and so on - compared to other developed countries. As a result, New Zealand's productivity is low.
A larger, more active sharemarket will provide lower cost of capital for companies to grow and to invest in infrastructure, which will ultimately improve our competitiveness and standard of living.
While it is easy when interest rates are at historic lows to say banks can fund our businesses, bank funding is only a partial solution and longer-term, as interest rates rise, that's not a viable option.
When I arrived back in New Zealand nearly a year ago, I was excited by the outlook for our country's capital markets. Nine months in, and post the summer holiday break, it's a good opportunity to reflect on what happened and what we still need to get done.
Fortunately we are off to a good start. The past six months have been a standout for the sharemarket with the NZX50 up by 24 per cent last year.
Investors have recognised the attractiveness of investing in New Zealand listed companies, and reallocated their portfolios from overseas back to New Zealand.
The demand for new issues, and the sale of stakes by large shareholders, has outstripped even the most optimistic expectations.
This week's sale of 7.6 per cent in Auckland International Airport is the latest example. More importantly, New Zealanders are starting to invest more, especially through KiwiSaver, which last year grew by 33 per cent to $13.8 billion.
Achieving what we need to will take time and requires a concerted effort. The sharemarket, relative to the size of our economy, remains small. While we are seeing more companies wanting to list this year, we have a long way to go.
Some of our best companies haven't yet been inspired to see the benefits of listing (something NZX is working on) and would rather remain private, until most likely, they are sold offshore. While there are listings in the pipeline, demand far outstrips supply.
We simply don't have enough products on our shelves at NZX.
Obviously as a small, proud country, we would rather invest here than overseas. But with a lack of product to invest in, that's not what is happening at the moment.
New Zealanders are putting money into KiwiSaver, but of that money, only 10 per cent as at the end of September last year, was invested in shares of New Zealand companies. A staggering 50 per cent is invested in companies overseas.
In contrast, most of our borrowing comes from overseas, $253 billion, or 121 per cent of GDP at the end of 2012. So as a nation, we're busy investing in other countries while borrowing heavily from them as well, which does not make a lot of sense.
That's one of the reasons the Government's share offer programme is critical for the development of our capital markets.
The programme has the potential to increase the size of our share market by up to 10 per cent. And we know, from market research and from the demand we saw last year, that New Zealanders are looking forward to investing in Mighty River Power, Meridian Energy and Genesis Energy.
In addition to providing more opportunities for New Zealanders to invest in the country, there are three other reasons the Government's share offer programme is critical for the development of the capital markets.
Providing more opportunities to invest in shares not only benefits investors through a return on their investment, but more broadly, it increases financial literacy.
In Australia, a combination of the introduction of compulsory superannuation and the partial sale of state-owned assets almost 20 years ago significantly increased the public's understanding of the benefits of saving, and the range of investment options available.
Secondly, companies with a combination of public and private ownership, as the Port of Tauranga has shown, generally perform better for their shareholders, customers and other stakeholders than if they were solely state-owned.
They have the capital flexibility they need to grow their businesses, have a board and management team accountable to a broad range of shareholders, and ultimately they provide better returns for the Government (or in the case of the Port of Tauranga, the local authority) and their other investors.
Finally, the programme will encourage other private companies to list on the stock exchange both directly and indirectly, by supporting the development of a larger, more active share market.
For some of these companies, the additional capital they raise will enable them to grow faster, benefiting their shareholders and our economy.
While critical, the Government's share offer programme is only one part of what's required to develop a more attractive and effective capital market. At NZX, we recognise that working closely with all parts of the market is critical to ensure success - with brokers and fund managers on improving the range of investment opportunities, with private companies to encourage them to list and with listed companies, particularly smaller ones, to ensure they effectively communicate their story to investors.
We are also working with the FMA, to continue to enhance and promote the quality of our marketplace for the benefit of investors and other market participants.
Over the past year we have begun to work much more closely with the industry and invested in our business to ensure we can capture the opportunities ahead.
We must accelerate the development of New Zealand's capital markets, for the benefit of all.
The Government's partial share offers are a critical part of what is required. Unfortunately, without the partial listings of those businesses, we'll continue to save and invest overseas. We'll continue to build great companies, but we'll continue to be frustrated when they are sold to private equity or foreign investors when they need the capital to grow.

Mrs. Kaiser has been teaching in the Cumberland County School system for the past 18 years. In that time, she has taught kindergarten, 1st grade, 3rd grade, 4th grade, and 5th grade. Six of these years were spent in self-contained 4th grade classrooms. Another six years were spent in a science/social studies/technology lab classroom for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students. Currently she works as a consultant/teacher for academically/intellectually gifted students in grades 3-5.
According to my Facebook quiz I am "very positive and love to give praise. You feel that every one of your students has something to offer and you make them aware of each of their strengths. You work hard in the beginning of the school year to make sure that your classroom environment is a very safe and judgement-free zone. You promote positive interactions between students as well. You love giving our compliments, stickers and high-fives. Students feel they can take chances and risks in your classroom because they know that failure is just another step on the road to a new success. Students love being in your class because you make them feel cherished and loved. They know that you care about them and their learning. Sometimes it is difficult for you to give consequences to students even when they truly deserve it, but you do not want to ruin the positive bond between you and your students because you want them to love to come to school everyday."

Well, I didn't get my DS9 figures. It was a box containing 6 months worth of my blood test kits that I have to have drawn and sent in to match with possible kidneys they could transplant me with. What fun.
Anyway, checking ArtAsylum's boards, Wave 2 is indicated for DS9:
Kira, O'Brien, Bashir, and possibly Quark! Sounds great to me! I'd be all over those.
My DS9 figures have been charged btw - I'm set to receive delivery any day now. I think my tracking indicated they'll arrive on Saturday, but I'm not sure.
The pictures I've seen show them to come with their "Niners" baseball caps as well as other appropriate accessories. How cool is that? Sisko even comes with his baseball!

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:23 PM GMT on May 23, 2008
A mile-wide tornado swept through Colorado between 11am and noon yesterday, ripping the roofs off buildings, tossing cars into the air, and killing at least one person in Weld County, northeast of Denver. Hail up to 2.75" in diameter accompanied the storm, which took an unusual north-northwesterly track , parallel to the Rocky Mountains north of Denver. Hardest hit was the town of Windsor, between Fort Collins and Greely, where damage appeared to be at least EF3. A local TV station took some impressive live video of the tornado, and a wunderground web cam video in Windsor, Colorado (Figure 1) caught the funnel as it passed east of the camera.
Figure 1.Webcam view looking east at 11:45am MDT in Windsor, Colorado as the tornado passed by. Note the golf ball-sized hail covering the ground. Image credit: windsorweather.com.
The Weather Underground's tornado expert, Rob Carver, had this explanation of yesterday's tornadoes:
Two low pressure systems over the Western U.S. were the cause of the severe weather outbreak of May 22. A strong upper-level low over the Great Basin formed a surface low in the lee of the Rockies, and brought a strong southerly mid-level jet over the Plains of Colorado and Kansas. As the surface low formed, it brought warm moist air northwards, forming a warm front. This warm air moved westward, rising with the terrain, causing thunderstorms to form. Once these storms formed, the juxtaposition of easterly flow at the surface with southerly flow aloft (i.e., wind shear) produced significant spin in the horizontal direction, which was tilted by the storms to vertical spin, which triggered the formation of tornadic thunderstorms. This movement of the warm front up the slope of the Rockies to help trigger tornadic thunderstorms is a rare occurrence.

Bottom: Doppler velocity image of the tornado, showing a small core of red and blue colors right next to each other, denoting strong winds towards and away from the radar, the classic signature of a tornado vortex. For those interested, we've saved an animation of the reflectivity and Doppler velocity.
Severe weather forecast
Severe weather is expected today over Kansas, Nebraska, and surrounding states. NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has placed portions of this area under its "Moderate Risk" category for severe weather, one step below its highest level of concern, "High Risk". Yesterday was also a "Moderate Risk" day, which SPC later upgraded to "High Risk" once the tornadoes started pounding Colorado. More severe weather is expected Saturday and Sunday over the Midwest as the upper-level low pressure system responsible moves slowly eastward. The Weather Underground Severe Weather page and Tornado page and WebCam page are good places to go to follow the severe weather. Also, tune in to the chase accounts and awesome storm photos from Wunderblogger Mike Theiss, who was in Kansas yesterday, and has posted many spectacular photos of yesterday's storms. According to Mike's blog:
Today Cloud 9 Tours saw 4 tornadoes and ONE developing almost overhead. We experienced winds over 100mph from the circulation of the meso that passed overhead as a cone tornado developed. Stay Tuned....
Possible development in the Eastern Pacific late next week
The past four days, the ECMWF model has been predicting the formation of a tropical storm in the the Eastern Pacific, just off the coast of Guatemala, around May 29. The GFS model has also been predicting something might develop, but in the Western Caribbean near Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. The GFS has been rather inconsistent with its handling of this potential storm, and I am inclined to discount its forecast--especially since last night's long range runs of the NOGAPS, Canadian, and UKMET models all show development in the Eastern Pacific, not the Caribbean. All five models predict a northward shift in the jet stream and substantial relaxation in wind shear over the Eastern Pacific and Western Caribbean next week. It is common to see May tropical storms in the Eastern Pacific, and it would not be a surprise to see something develop there. I'd put the odds of something popping up in the Western Caribbean or Gulf of Mexico at less than 10%, though.
NOAA's seasonal hurricane forecast
NOAA issued its annual seasonal hurricane forecast yesterday, which I discussed in detail in yesterday's blog entry. Yesterday's forecast came out with a little more uncertainty attached to it than previous forecasts, which is a good thing. The media attention and fanfare that accompanies these forecasts is rather excessive, given the low skill they have. In fact, we don't even know if the NOAA forecasts have ANY mathematical skill, because they've never released a verification study of their forecasts. I doubt that the skill is very high--as Eric Berger of the Houston Chronicle pointed out in a blog yesterday, NOAA has blown its forecast of Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) each of the last six years. NOAA held its usual press conference to announce the forecast; this year, it was held at the home of the NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft, MacDill AFB in Tampa. The NOAA dignitaries present said all the right things, preaching the need for preparedness regardless of the forecast for the upcoming hurricane season. Still, I wonder if NOAA might be hurting themselves by making such a public spectacle over the release of a forecast that no one knows the accuracy of, and has performed poorly by some measures in recent years. I do like the fact they are issuing public hurricane forecasts, as I expect their accuracy and value will improve in coming years, but they're definitely not worth the attention they're getting at present.

None are left-winged conspiracies! They serve well in today's political fast-paced world of misinformation. All one has to do as look at all the statements from both candidates in the debates that didn't pass as being true.

UTSA hosts Great American Smokeout Nov. 17
By Tim Brownlee
Assistant Director of Public Affairs
(Nov. 16, 2005)--The UTSA community is invited to participate in the Great American Smokeout on Thursday, Nov. 17 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Sombrilla Plaza and the University Center at the 1604 Campus, and 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Frio Street Building commons at the Downtown Campus.
Created 29 years ago by the American Cancer Society, the national event is an opportunity for smokers to give up smoking for one day and to increase awareness of smoking as a health hazard to smokers and recipients of second-hand smoke. At UTSA, educational materials and other give-aways on smoking cessation will be distributed, along with information on the UTSA smoking policy. Additionally, free blood pressure screenings will be available.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
The theme for this year's event is "The 20 Foot Rule," to inform the UTSA community about the policy requiring smoking to take place at least 20 feet from building entrances. The entrances of UTSA buildings will be taped off to emphasize the policy.
Activities include D.J. Josh Stone, who will play music at the University Center, along with appearances of Rowdy Roadrunner from noon to 2 p.m. at the 1604 and Downtown campuses, a 3 p.m. smoke-free walk across the 1604 Campus starting at the Sombrilla Plaza fountain and "Getting Ready to Quit" classes.
According to the American Cancer Society, people who quit smoking, regardless of age, live longer than people who continue to smoke. An estimated 44.7 million adults are former smokers in the United States. Among current smokers, 70 percent report they want to quit. Quitting smoking substantially decreases the risk of lung, laryngeal, esophageal, oral, pancreatic, bladder and cervical cancers. Quitting lowers the risk for major diseases including coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease.
Participating sponsors for the UTSA activities include Student Health Services, Assistant Professor Georgia Polacek and her community health class, and Nicholas Johnson of the occupational safety office.
For more information, contact Kathleen Ceresoli at (210) 458-4142.
UTSA smoking policy
In order to achieve an environment as close to smoke-free as possible, the Human Resources Committee recommended and the University Assembly approved this UTSA smoking policy:
Smoking is prohibited in indoor locations, in all university vehicles and within 20 feet of the entrance to any UTSA building. Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis in accordance with established disciplinary policies of the university.

|Inflatable Watercraft Rafts, pontoon boats, kickboats, etc.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
This whole boat thing is complex: I have a good friend with a single person pontoon, a canoe, a 14' raft, a 2 person 12' pontoon, a drift boat, a float tube, a jon boat and a jet boat. He thinks he needs them all...need I say more!
The prams/drift boats I mention above are about 1 1/2x the price of a top quality single person pontoon. They are a bit pricey but, I thought they might fit your needs and would bring them up. Having spent a whole lot of money over the years trying to figure out what "the best" product actually is for a given application, I often wish I could go back and have paid a little more from the get go. I would have been thousands of dollars ahead and a whole lot more satisfied from the beginning. Might be worth saving for an extra few months or a year and get exactly what you want and not settling.
Get them to send you some literature and perhaps a couple of references to talk with and mull them over.
Just a couple of ideas for you to kick around and hopefully help you make the best decision for your application.
Let us know what you decide.
Drift boats...hmmm
Hi Thanks for the response.... Now that you summarized so neatly what I want, which is a boat that will handle 50:50 lake and river, i wonder if you might be right about looking into drift style boats. It would be SWEET to stay dry and be able to bring others with me on a trip.... but man are they PRICEY! Know anyone with a new boat that decided they hate fishing and are also a millionaire and looking to unload their boat cheap?
I would still like to hear from others experience with rowing a cataraft on lakes and other concerns I had... but I will at least look into the Drift boats, I of course knew of them but sorta decided it was not what I wanted... now I wonder but have reservations about using them on a lake.
Skookum makes a nice product from what I understand and think you would be happy with their product. In the cataraft category I'd also recommend taking a look at Dave Scadden's products (davescaddenpontooncraft.com) which I also understand are top quality.
Since you are going to split your time 50:50 lakes/rivers here are some "drier" options you might consider: Endure Boats 10' Aluminum Pram (endureboats.com), Hyde 11' Drifter (hydeoutdoors.com), Koffler Boats Inc. 10' Whitewater Pram (kofflerboats.com). Lavro offers an 11' Fly Fishing Boat (lavroboats.com) that might also be of interest. These boats all afford stable platforms from which to stand and fish, are dry, all appear to have sterns you could mount an electric motor/small outboard if you desire, and can all handle the white water you describe. Might be worth a look.
help please, cataraft and lakes
Hi All-
I have spent some time reading with interest the information people have posted with respect to pontoons v.s catarafts and have decided to look seriously at saving up for and purchasing a Skookum 10 ft Steelheader guide model with the anchor system. That said, I am far from certain and would like to know what people think and if people think I will be getting too much boat for what i plan on doing. So here is the plan and your comments will be welcome with an open mind.
I believe in buying something once, so durability and quality are important.
I fish a LOT in the late fall and early spring, so cold water is the rule and I know what will happen to me if I dump in a lake 1 mile out and the water is 40 degrees... my boat will be in an estate sale. So stability and RELIABILITY are IMPORTANT.
I would LOVE to be able to stand and sight cast to fish on a lake or a river.
I usually wear waders, its just more rain proof, warmer etc, but I like the idea of being "dry" and have used float tubes and find that kicking around a lake is pretty much useless unless you are willing to work REALLY hard or drive within 200 yards of where you want to fish. That said, should I consider a more pontoon like configuration with a kick style boat... keep reading to see what I will use it for. My thought is that there is no way I am going to be able to move very far with kick fins on a 10 ft boat so why even bother....
Ok, so I fish reservoirs and rivers about 50:50, can I row a 10 ft cataraft with any efficency at all on a lake, what about wind (Major concern on mountain reservoirs in UT), will I be in a "sail cataraft" and pretty much tracking down wind???? Will I need a motor (sounds very FUN to me.... something I would likely add, but do I Need it. See above concern vis kick style propulsion.
Now for rivers, I would be on the upper Green river in the A or B section so I don't see any major white water concerns here, but I am not a dare devil and thus like the idea of a 10 ft catraft for stability and safety. I will also head out to the Salmon river in the Salmon/North Fork area of Cenrtal/N Central ID, there are sections on that river that would be "interesting" for me in that I am not an experienced rafter/catarafter/pontoon driver and would like to keep it safe (you might see a common theme here).
So, sorry for the length but If I dont tell you what I want to do, and why, you will not be able to really provide much help. Basically, I see this as my one purchase that will involve a boat that will not be a 19 ft flats boat with a 100 hp motor, which is my eventual goal in 5-10 years. So, I want to use it to fish for everything from Large mouth bass (standing to cast would be a BLAST), for Steelhead in big rivers, for trout in reservoirs, for Lakers in Resrvoirs, and for trout on large rivers. I am asking a lot out of one boat and considered seriously a canoe but for many reasons ruled it out (mostly due to being solo and standing). I do not need room for two, it would be great but 90 % of the time I will be solo.
Have at me! PLEASE.
