"Writing for young readers is almost like dipping into a fountain of youth; for hours a day, I am a child again."—Iain Lawrence
Iain Lawrence is a journalist, travel writer, and avid sailor, and the author of many acclaimed novels, including Ghost Boy, Lord of the Nutcracker Men, and the High Seas Trilogy: The Wreckers, The Smugglers, and
The Buccaneers.
When I was 12 or 13, I wrote picture books for my younger brother . . .
I started writing short stories after I graduated from high school and kept it up—though sporadically—during my ten-year career as a newspaper reporter. But journalism has a way of sponging creativity, so I went to work at a fish farm instead, in the hope that I would have more time to do my own writing. Two years later, when the farm went bankrupt and I found myself on employment insurance, I started writing seriously. I thought I could produce a publishable book during my one year of E.I. It was a naive idea; five years passed before I sold my first book.
My favorite stories from my childhood are the ones that were read to me . . .
The first story that I remember reading for myself is Robinson Crusoe. I would take it down to the river that flowed behind our house and lie in a little grassy nest. But I never finished it; I didn't have the patience to read books as thick as that. I remember reading Owls in the Family and Born Free, skipping every second page and then every third in my hurry to reach the end.
My favorite stories from my childhood are the ones that were read to me, a chapter or two at bedtime. Strongest in my memory are beautiful stories like Stuart Little and The Wind in the Willows, and others that gave me nightmares like Treasure Island and Moonfleet.
Stories for young people are tremendously fun to write . . .
I love the shorter length, the quicker pacing, and the necessity of trying to see everything through the eyes of a child. Writing for young readers is almost like dipping into a fountain of youth; for hours a day, I am a child again.
I don't think any story begins with just one idea . . .
. . . but from a connection of unrelated thoughts. I think all my stories begin with this idea of reliving old favorites, and of trying to capture the emotions that went along with them—fear or wonder or magic. When I look for new ideas, or decide what to tackle next, I think of what sort of story I would like to hear.
I write every day, starting in the morning and going on until mid-afternoon . . .
In winter and in rain, I go back to it in the evenings. But I find summer days too tempting to keep me inside. I always write on a computer and always play classical music, often the same CD over and over and over. In an annoying ritual, I have to win a game of computer solitaire before I can actually begin writing.
I begin every story with an outline, working forward and backward to fill in the plot. The outlines include notes on characters and settings, and they tend to be very chaotic, written almost as a dialogue with myself. They are full of questions and answers, of diverging alternative plots. I revise as I go along, replacing sentences and paragraphs with better ones, but keeping all the words on the computer screen. The passages that I've changed—and little notes that I've made to myself—keep piling up below the point that I'm working on. When I reach the end, I've got many, many pages of disjointed phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. It's like a junk pile that I like to pick through now and then, just to see if there's anything useful among the things I've thrown away.
I hope most of all to create characters that readers will remember . . .
I think it's an amazing process that allows a reader to actually see what a writer imagines, to actually feel what a writer feels. I love getting letters from readers who say they felt as though they were inside the story. When I was the same age as them, I read about Captain Bligh's amazing voyage in an open boat. I remember being so enthralled by one scene, where the sailors were trying to capture a seabird that had landed on the gunwale, that I almost shouted at my sister, who came into the room just then, "Shut up! You'll scare the bird away." That's the feeling I'd like to create for my readers: that the story is utterly true at the time of its reading—that if you so much as move, you'll scare the bird away.
Iain Lawrence lives on one of the Gulf Islands off the coast of British Columbia, and is an avid sailor. He lives with his longtime companion Kristin, as well as their dog Misty, and cat Sam.
Q: When did you develop an interest in writing? Did your teachers recognize your talent and encourage you?
A: My grade three teacher told my parents that I would grow up to be a writer. In later years, in junior high school and high school, creative writing class was my favorite part of school. I remember being praised but not encouraged. I was a very shy child, so it was intensely embarrasing if my stories were chosen to be read aloud, and excruciating if I had to read them myself.
In grade eleven or twelve, I volunteered to be a school correspondent for the neighborhood newspaper. But my first published story was so changed from the version I submitted that I never wrote another one. When I graduated from high school, though, I hoped to be a writer.
Q: In the Acknowledgments you talk about Lucy Island as the inspiration for the setting of The Lightkeeper's Daughter. What was your inspiration for the characters and story?
A: The first time I sailed to Lucy Island, there was a lightkeeper and his family living there. The last time, their house was just a stub of foundations poking up from burned and bulldozed ruins. It was like a different island, sad and somber, and it's this one that the McCraes inhabit–with a different name so that the real and very happy lightkeepers won't be mistaken for my fictional ones. The McCraes were inspired in part by the sense of loneliness and loss that lay thickly over Lucy then, and in part by the needs of the story. I gave each of them one strong desire, and their relationships arose naturally from the clashing of their different wants.
Q: You write "Alastair was good at everything because he only did the things that he was good at" (p. 101). How should we decide what to do, if it's not simply the things we're good at? Is there something you're not good at that you enjoy?
A: It's a bit of a Catch-22, isn't it? You can never enjoy doing something you don't do well, but if you do it badly long enough, you get good enough to enjoy it. There are many things I like to do now that were only painful at first. By never trying twice, Alastair limited himself to a very narrow range of interests.
Q: Tell us about your process. Some writers say that their best writing comes out of revising and editing, while others prefer the spontaneity of their first version. How do you work?
A: I love writing but don't care much for rewriting. Once I've told a story, I tend to lose interest in it and want only to go on to the next one.
I used to start a novel knowing nothing of what would happen. I just began at the first page, wrote through to the last, and called the whole thing finished as soon as I reached the end. After many rejections, I realized I was doing something wrong. It's my theory now (and I wonder sometimes if I didn't just pick it up from someone else) that you can outline and write, or write and rewrite. But, really, it amounts to the same thing. A story that is started without an outline will become the outline, going through changes and revisions until it seems right.
Now I like to plan the story carefully and fully, going through it chapter by chapter until I know, for each of them, the beginning and the end, and most of what will happen in between. I like to know the characters, what they are like, and how they talk. The writing always strays from the outline in places. But, like a new highway built beside an old one, they eventually rejoin.
Q: Do you have any personal experiences with whales? What is your connection to them, and why was it important to you include the whale in the book?
A: This story really began with the whales. The very first thought that inspired it was to tell the songs that whales might sing to each other. Its title then, and nearly till the end, was The Singing of Whales. Several years passed from the day I started the first version to the day I finished the last, all during a time when I spent entire summers wandering the coast in a little sailboat. I often saw whales, and sometimes sought them out. I bought a hydrophone to listen to their voices in the water, and it was always incredibly moving to be near them. One time, we were overtaken by a pod of killer whales. We were going so slowly that they could have shot by, but instead they slowed as they passed. They surfaced right beside the boat, and all around it, a big group of adults and children, and it seemed for a while that we were traveling with them. It was magical, really. The killer whales of the coast represent the ultimate in freedom to me, and it breaks my heart that they're dying.
Q: Usually we think about parents sacrificing for their children. Yet, in a way, Alastair sacrifices his future for Murray's when he agrees to stay on the island. Do you think that happens often in families? How do you decide what to sacrifice for someone or something you love?
A: I think children seldom make even small sacrifices for their parents. But when they're older, and adults themselves, they often make huge ones, I think. It's ironic that Alastair, by giving his father what he wants, almost guarantees that Murray can't hang onto it. I can imagine that Alastair might have gone to school, studied whales, and returned to Lucy Island one day. I can imagine, too, that Squid would have stayed, and that Murray would have died a happy man on his own little island. But Alastair found that he had given up too much, and by doing it had doomed them all. If sacrifice has a limit, I have no idea what it is. But I can't imagine giving up life for a country, or even for a tiny little island.
Q: In many ways, this story is a tragedy. The characters learn and change, but only through great pain and the death of Alistair. Did you consider other fates for Alastair?
A: For a time, Alastair did have a different fate - or at least the possibility of one. An earlier version of the story made it clear, at the end, that Alastair paddled away from the island in hope of reaching Vancouver. Whether he arrived or not wasn't said. But it was unthinkable that Alastair would go on with his life without letting Squid, at least, know that he was still alive. So the ending was changed to be less ambiguous, and I think this one is better. But, yes, these character became very real for me, and I thought about them for a long time afterward, often wondering if Alastair might have survived.
Q: At one point Hannah reminds Murray that "No man is an island" (p. 112). Do you agree? Do you identify with Murray's desire?
A: Hannah, of course, is quoting the poet John Donne: "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main..." I agree very much with that. The more firmly a person is connected to the mass of humanity, the better that person seems. At the same time, I understand Murray's wish for a simple life in an idyllic place, free from the worries of the world. That he can't have it, no matter how he tries, is a sad reality. Like most people, I think, I'm often less of an island than I'd wish, and sometimes more than I'd like.
Q: Why did you want to tell this story (particularly for a young adult audience)?
A: For a long time, I considered telling this story in a more straightforward way, beginning with Alastair's birth and ending with his death. It would have been the same story, but very different. Trying to tell it as a series of memories was a puzzle that interested me through the planning and the writing. I wanted a sad story about people struggling for something they couldn't quite reach, and settling for something close. That, to me, pretty well sums up what life is about.

Steamboat Springs Direct flights from Steamboat's biggest single market, the New York City area, have been scaled back from daily to once a week, but resort officials are cautiously optimistic about a planned return to daily flights next month.
In a scheduled scale back, from this week to mid-February, Continental Airlines will offer direct flights between Yampa Valley Regional Airport and Newark, N.J., only on Saturdays.
"Passengers booked to date from Newark are up over the year prior," Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp Vice President of Marketing Andy Wirth said. "But we still have some mid-week soft spots," when the daily schedule resumes in February.
Overall, Steamboat's ski season jet flights were up in December 2002, compared to December 2001. Arriving passengers grew by 1,115, to 16,486, last month.
Air Wisconsin (flying as United Express), Continental, Northwest and United all saw passenger numbers increase. Only American was down slightly.
So far this ski season, 5,800 passengers have booked flights into YVRA from Newark, which serves the greater New York City area, Wirth said. That compares to 3,600 at this time last year. Interpreting those figures is problematic; people in the New York area were still reluctant fliers in December 2001 and January 2002, because of the lingering effects of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Steamboat officials held out high hopes for the Newark flights in summer 2001 as New York represents Steamboat's biggest single market. It was hoped that the initiation of daily flights from Newark in the 2001/02 ski season would boost winter tourism here. To no one's surprise, Sept. 11 changed the landscape.
Wirth went to Continental officials in December 2001 to propose running the daily flights close to the December holidays, scaling back to weekly flights in January and early February, then hitting the market hard again with a daily schedule during the prime winter vacation weeks beginning Presidents weekend and continuing through March. The intent was to reduce the risk for Steamboat's resort businesses, including the ski area, which contribute cash to make up the revenue guarantees that lure the airlines to fly the YVRA route.
The variable schedule, something the airline would not have agreed to pre-Sept.11, was a success, Wirth said. An unintended consequence of the post-9.11 strategy shift was that Steamboat succeeded in negotiating with Continental for a split schedule again this winter.
People who visit the airport near Hayden frequently reported that in December, some flights arriving from Newark carried very few passengers. Wirth said the situation is easily explained.
The holiday daily service from Newark was essentially a two-week program, he said.
The first flights arriving from Newark carried reasonable loads, but the first few return flights were essentially "dead-heads" because there were no New York passengers winding up ski vacations and returning home. Similarly, soon after the New Year holiday, the last daily fights weren't transporting many new arrivals to Steamboat, but were arriving primarily to pick up return passengers.
"It's important to step back and look at the entire season," Wirth said.
Wirth's biggest concern about the balance of the ski season jet program is a decline in the Dallas market, serviced by American Airlines. The real problem with the flights on American Airlines lies beyond Dallas in cities like Atlanta, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale, he said. Potential Steamboat vacationers are having a difficult time making reasonable connections to YVRA through American's hub in Dallas.
The explanation lies in the airline's shift to a "rolling hub," Wirth said. For years, airlines have timed large banks of flights to arrive at their main hubs in close proximity to one another. The banks typically were timed three to four hours apart. American has gone to a higher frequency of smaller banks timed just 60 to 90 minutes apart, Wirth said.
"It limits the number of possible connections," Wirth said. The impacts aren't so great for destinations that receive multiple flights from Dallas each day. But for YVRA, with only one flight a day, connections are more difficult.
For passengers in some American cities beyond Dallas, the flight from their hometown to Dallas arrives less than 35 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure for the Yampa Valley. That's too short a time to book connecting flights, Wirth said. In the case of Atlanta, skiers bound for Steamboat were confronted with a three-hour layover in Dallas. Those kinds of flight arrangements deter vacationers, Wirth said.
Wirth and Ski Corp. airline expert Janet Fischer were able to meet with American's schedule planners in November and adjust the timing of the Steamboat flight, Wirth said, but the changes came too late to improve the situation for December.
It remains to be seen how passengers connecting through Dallas on American will respond late in the ski season.
Wirth was unwilling to provide more detailed figures about the performance of the Dallas flight and the airline program in general.
He said American Skiing Corp. is in a "quiet period" as it prepares to release long-awaited earnings reports later this month. Company higher-ups have cautioned him against releasing optimistic projections about the balance of the ski season because of federal Securities and Exchange regulations that prohibit company officials from making statements that could influence stock prices.

What I did in 2007, What I will do in 2008
I just came back from Taiwan(went there basically for TWDebCamp2007) tonight. I met lots of great people down there and had lots of fun. I'll write about it later. Theoretically speaking, I was supposed to have decent Internet connections everywhere, but in most cases it didn't work or I was away from it anyway(and we had busy schedule!). So now I'm kinda catching up things quickly, especially what happend on the Net lately. Anywise, it would be a good time to look back 2007 and foresee 2008.
Personally, these things were significant for me in 2007:
- Finished GPLv3
- GPLv3 is finally out, and I'm proud I took part in the revision process. Also I could manage to finish my Japanese translation of GPLv3/LGPLv3. Now my translations are being reviewed by lawyers and other legal professionals, so it will be more sophisticated soon.
- Establishing MIAU
- As I wrote before, we founded a little organization called MIAU, in hope of becoming a Japanese version of EFF. At the copyright war front in Japan, we are partly losing the battle since the Japanese government essentially ignored our 1800+ unique public comments and seems dare to go the wrong direction somehow. However, we are not going to give up easily -- next year, we will sophisticate our tactics and try to get more people involved. Chris Salzberg wrote up a series of great articles on these or related issues in English, and also submitted his story to Slashdot.
- Joined Wikimania 2007
- This was also a great fun in Taiwan. I gave a talk at there and also met many great people.
- Released GNU a2ps 4.14
- Well, this is far less significant, but the new release is now out. I hacked up this release in my hotel room just before I left, so may contain stupid bugs. anyway, as usual, enjoy.
So, now we seem to be in 2008 now. Happy New Year or whatever. I'm gonna do the following this year, at least:
- Finish my PhD thesis
- This will be the highest priority, of course. I'm planning to make it be a comprehensive study on FLOSS from management/organizational theorists' view. Will contain some math. Maybe not.
- Finish my book
- I'm still writing a book on Open Source licensing. This was supposed to be done within 2007, so it's long overdue now.
- Finish translations
- I'm still translating Peter Seibel's great book Practical Common Lisp into Japanese. Also, I guess I should update my Japanese translations of www.gnu.org.
- Reduce weight
- I'm obviously overweight. I'm gonna go to swim, cycling, or even jogging, and do my best not to eat too much. I'm serious!
Anyway, again I'd say Happy New Year to all, and enjoy your life.

At the same time that more than 70 river advocates from across the country are walking the halls of Congress, we hope to generate a steady stream of phone calls from river advocates like you to your members of Congress. This combination of in-person meetings and phone calls will demonstrate to Congress how much Americans care about healthy rivers and clean water in our communities.
You can help make this event a success. Help flood the phones of our Senators and Representatives on Tuesday, May 25, with the same message of river conservation that your fellow river enthusiasts will be delivering in-person on Capitol Hill.
Save the date and stay tuned for details: next Tuesday we will send you talking points and phone numbers for the offices of your Senators and Representative to make taking action easier than ever before!
Thank you for your support.

Need some input on Pet Insurance
I have been using PetsBest and until recently have been very happy. Premiums reasonable, service good, and quick turnaround with claims.
However, PetsBest has switched insurance carriers and premiums have increased by 25%.
Looked at AKC. Better price, but low yearly incident coverage ($3000)
Looked at ASPCA. Better price, but also low yearly incident coverage ($3000)
PetsBest covers up to $7000 per incident
Any other ideas?

I think they should have entertained replacing the actor and retaining the character if possible.
No, that never works
Dowager is going to have to work harder to keep things light.
As such here is the direction I would take the show: Matthew recovers from the auto accident, Tom eventually finds a good woman and remarries, Edith finally finds a good man and true love, Thomas dies from AIDS, the flirty old guy at the fair gets his dick cut off, the aunt and uncle in Scotland learn to love each other, Robert goes to tech school and learns abbey management, Rose gets STDs from fricking around, Downton Abbey is recognized nationally in England as a model for traditional transition into a modern world.
I'm finding a soft spot for Thomas though. I can't believe it myself.
Can we add "Anna finds some makeup" to the list of plots. She looks WAY better IRL than on the show... Like proportionally better than anybody else.
She is very pretty--did you see the link I posted?
I was more a Dynasty fan than a Dallas one... So I can tell you that Fallon was played by somebody else before she returned from a disappearance with an Aussie accent and played by Emma Samms.
Didn't one of the other kids come back looking as someone else after an accident too?
I think I would have preferred if he went away for a time and then they could have had written him out in some sort of character decision, not some ridiculous car accident when he was going 20 MPH on a dirt road
Anybody else happy that they showed the car crash off-screen? I'm a classic car freak and even in movies or television the thought of crashing even an old classic makes my heart go flat.
ETA: They should have a disclaimer saying no classic cars were injured or harmed during filming
I doubt if they had anywhere near the budget to destroy an old car

Tell me I'm wrong on any of those points though. C'mon, tell me I'm wrong, prove it, show me how Mattel didn't suck with the things they did wrong with MOTU. They did a lot of things right, but you cannot tell me in all good conscience that I was off base. Or do you need to get back to playing with your Comet Warriors and She-Ra figures?
LA is not kind to this line, hunting is not an option, it's very popular with the scalper set, cases don't seem to make it to floors at all.I totally agree, but if you can hunt around a bit to find things for a decent price and with proper paint jobs, it's worth it.
They used to have one, it became scalper central, so they closed it to only employees, then it was the same problem so they made it scratch n dent. Mattel cheeses me off.The real problem though, is that you live in scalper central... which sucks. And it's all the more frustrating and stupid, because Mattel is right f***ing there. I'll never understand why they don't open up an outlet where the public can wander in and buy things.

Family: Strigidae, Owls view all from this family
Endangered Status The Northern Spotted Owl, a subspecies of Spotted Owl, is on the U.S. Endangered Species List. The Northern Spotted Owl is classified as threatened in California, Oregon, and Washington. This owl's habitat is the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest that are most-coveted by timber interests. Natural disasters such as fire, volcanic eruptions, and severe winds have also taken a toll on its habitat. Changing the practices of the timber industry is the only hope for these old-growth forests and the animals that live in them. Because these forests are quite complex ecosystems that take hundreds of years to develop, they cannot be easily replaced. The Northern Spotted Owl has become the poster species for anti-logging -industry protests and forest-conservation interests.
Range Western Canada, Northwest, California

Answered by:
John Campbell, Ralph Bunche Senior Fellow for Africa Policy Studies
The response to Boko Haram and other "jihadist" insurgencies is shaping U.S. foreign policy toward Nigeria and the Sahel. But despite rhetoric to the contrary, the region remains a marginal U.S. priority.
Official U.S. rhetoric is focused increasingly on security issues, rather than development or other conventional goals in the Sahel. Announcing the November 13 designation of Boko Haram and its splinter, Ansaru, as "Foreign Terrorist Organizations," the U.S. Department of State said it would "assist U.S. and other law enforcement partners in efforts to investigate and prosecute terrorist suspects." There are U.S.-sponsored counterterrorism initiatives in the Sahel but the funding and personnel devoted to them are small.
"Boko Haram," meaning "Western education is sinful," is an Islamic, jihadist, militant movement based in northeastern Nigeria. It targets the Nigerian state and army, as well as civilians. In June, the U.S. government designated Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, an individual terrorist and set a reward of $7 million for information leading to his location. Though the November 13 FTO designation received media attention, its practical consequences are limited, most involving visa restrictions and checks on financial support of American origins.
But the vague wording of the designation could pose administrative difficulties for Nigerians not connected to jihadist movements. Following the designation, Nigerian ambassador to the U.S. Adebowale Ibidapo Adefuye released a statement opposing the designation for fear of the obstacles it will raise for innocent Nigerians' travel and financial interactions with the United States.
The tiny U.S. presence in northern Nigeria has primarily been in the form of development assistance. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) works to improve the quality of education, strengthen government capacity, and provide adequate health conditions for poverty-stricken northern communities. However, all international assistance programs, including that of USAID, have been scaled back because of the security issues caused by the jihadist revolt and the Abuja government's crackdown in response.

Today at 2:00 pm, we went to the Cool Springs, Tennessee Toys R Us and on the shelf were 3 cases worth of Vintage Collection, 4 cases worth of the new Clone Wars, and 3 cases worth of the new Saga Legends. Also, there was a Snow Speeder, Cloud Car, Republic Tank, and a Jedi Starfighter. All of this must have just been put out today because it did not look like anyone had gone through the figures yet.
Glad to see this stuff is showing up early and that it will not be hard to find for awhile.

The glass packaging industry in India is valued at close to $ 1.07 billion
Bangalore: The green potential of glass as a packaging medium has the lowest hazard in Human Toxicity Potential (HTP: toxicological impact on human), Terrestric Ecotoxicity Potential (TETP: toxicological impact on water and soils) and Photochem, Ozone Creation Potential (POCP: interference with ozone creation) compared to other forms of packaging, according to a life-cycle analysis (LCA) study conducted by the All India Glass Manufacturers' Federation (AIGMF).
The first ever ISO 14040/44 compliant and independently reviewed cradle-to-cradle LCA study on glass packaging by any industry in India, commissioned by AIGMF and executed by PE Sustainability India, subsidiary of PE International AG, Germany, was conducted by data collection from 28 furnaces representing 72 percent of Indian glass container production. It is in line with the methodology followed for Glass Packaging Institute (GPI), i.e. North American Glass Association and European Container Glass Federation (FEVE). It examines the impact of every stage in the life cycle of glass containers, from raw material extraction to end-use.
The glass packaging industry in India is valued at close to $ 1.07 billion (Rs 6000 crore) and continues to grow remarkably at a healthy rate of 8 - 10 percent per annum. India is amongst the top 15 markets for glass packaging globally and it is the third fastest growing market after Turkey and Brazil. The industry is driven primarily by downstream demand from of its user industries such as liquor, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, cosmetics and perfumery etc.
With the focus on sustainability, the LCA insights will enable manufacturers to communicate with clients on advantages of glass not only from product shelf life and human toxicity perspectives but also from the GRI, green funds and green purchasing program perspectives. The study will help the industry in focusing towards an integrated product policy (IPP) approach, practicing sustainable consumption and production (SCP) modules and maintaining regulatory standards.
LCA study has come up with the following recommendations;

NJKF Kick to the Future 1 Results: Yamato, Adanza Score Stoppage Wins, Kenta Upset by TOMOYUKI
- Published in Asia
- Written by Dave Walsh
- 0
Yesterday at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, NJKF held its first major card of 2012, a new series entitled Kick to the Future. The card was headlined by a rematch between Tetsuya Yamato and Densiam Lookprabaht, a WBC Muay Thai International Super Flyweight title fight between TOMONORI (Sato) and Romie Adanza, and a 70kg super fight between Kenta and TOMOYUKI. There were also a pair of title fights, with Seiji Takahashi and Ikki fighting for the vacant Super Lightweight title and Hiroshi Saenchaigym and Rookie fighting for the vacant Super Bantamweight title.
In the main event, 2010 K-1 -63kg Tournament champion Tetsuya Yamato took swift revenge, knocking out former Lumpinee Stadium champion Densiam Lookprabaht in the 1st round at 2:28. Yamato (26-9-1, 21 KO) apparently dropped Densiam with a huge left hook that Densiam got up from, but didn't recover from, as Yamato rushed him and knocked him down again, prompting the ref to stop the fight. The win snaps a 2-fight losing streak for Yamato who dropped decisions to Jomthong Chuwattana and Ryuji Kajiwara in WBC and Krush title fights, respectively. After the fight, Yamato claimed that a WBC World title was his current goal, so I expect his next fight to take place in NJKF.
In the co-main event for the WBC International Super Flyweight title, WBC U.S. Bantamweight champion Romie Adanza and WMC Intercontinental Super Flyweight champion TOMONORI fought an abbreviated fight that was stopped at 0:19 into the 2nd round because of a cut that was a result of an elbow that Adanza threw. Neither fighter seemed to take much of a lead after the first round, but shortly into the second, Adanza landed an elbow that opened up a deep cut on TOMONORI's head that caused the ref to immediately call in the ringside doctor, who took little time to determine that the cut was too deep, an assessment that TOMONORI was not happy with at all. The win gives Adanza the WBC International Super Flyweight title, but with the way the fight ended, I wouldn't be surprised if a rematch was in the works. TOMONORI (30-13-3, 15 KO) was coming into the fight on a 3-fight winning streak.
In the big upset of the night, TOMOYUKI was able to squeak by Krush 70kg champion Kenta and take a majority decision on scores of 29-29, 30-29 and 29-28. It appears as though in rounds 2 and 3, TOMOYUKI constantly came forward and outworked Kenta to get the nod from the judges. TOMOYUKI is best known for his fight at Thai Fight Japan where he lost a decision to Sudsakorn Sor Klinmee. With this win, he gets his name out in what is the currently muddled 70kg division in Japan which has been controlled by a variety of inconsistent fighters since Masato's retirement. This fight was Kenta's (23-9-3, 8 KO) first fight since September's K-1 MAX Japan Tournament where he lost a razor-thin extension round decision to Yuya Yamamoto in the semifinals. Despite the loss, this may be a positive for Kenta who gets some action ahead of his higher profile March 17th title defense against Yasuhiro Kido in Krush.
In a bit of a surprise, NJKF Lightweight champion Keijiro Miyakoshi and MA Kick Super Featherweight champion Hikaru Machida fought to a majority draw on scores of 30-30, 30-29 and 29-29. Miyakoshi (10-3-1, 4 KO) was riding a 3-fight win streak coming into the bout and most recently had defeated J-Network Lightweight champ Akihiro Kuroda to earn a WBC Japan title shot. Machida (14-4-1, 4 KO) was fighting for the first time since September when he defended his MA Kick title against Nobuhiro Iwai. I would imagine Miyakoshi still has his title shot lined up and Machida is now likely in consideration as well.
In a bout for the vacant NJKF Super Lightweight title, WBC Japan Super Lightweight champion Seiji Takahashi was able to outpoint former NJKF Lightweight champ Ikki to earn a unanimous decision on scores 50-47 and 49-47(x2). Takahashi was coming in off of a successful defense of his WBC Japan title against Yusuke Sugawara back in October while Ikki had lost his most recent fight at Krush.14 to Yosuke Mizuochi.
Finally, #1 ranked NJKF Super Bantamweight Hiroshi Saenchaigym took a close split decision over #2 ranked Rookie on scores of 49-48(x2) and 48-49.
Quick Results after the break

You guys asked for it! - and you guys will hate me for it!
Tonight's Battle of the Machines fight is raw!
These are the FINALS and there's no such thing as "fair play" any more in the last 2 rounds which will determine which is the ultimate Hasbro Star Wars vehicle to ever see manufactured as a toy!
It had to happen: the champion of the lightweights is coming to do battle with the champion of the heaveyweights.
I won't pretend like I don't know the outcome, but our "bikergang friends" earned their right to this match....errr ummmm, this last moment in their history.
But the Battle of the Machines is always full of surprises and tonight may be no different as the speederbike takes on the Imperial AT-AT walker!
The AT-AT crushed the scoutwalker in a close match in which it only won by 174 - 15, or 92.6% of the votes. Before that it narrowly defeated the Millennium Falcon 109-99 with 52% of 208 votes. With armor too strong for blasters, the towering Imperial Walker could probably carry over a half-dozen snowtrooper action figures into combat in its troop carrier section, while under the command of the exclusive packed-in AT-AT Driver and AT-AT Commander (as close as we've come to General Veers' proper figure) seated in the cockpit. From there they can command the fully poseable behemoth machine's 4 giant legs, jointed in three points of articulation on each. Covering them, are the remote operated chin guns that fire with the air-piercing sound effects and red "laser" flashes one would come to expect from the firepower of this war machine. But that's not all: side-mounted anti-aircraft cannons feature missle tubes with launching projectiles capable of descimating any Rebel defenses! A remote lever in the transport section controls the aiming and directional tracking of the metal beasts head, and a electronic, backlit communications and tactical station replays dialog from the movie, and features the bone-crunching thunder a walker's legs make in action, as well as the terror-striking sound of many needle-like barrages of the walker's smaller artillery cannons.
Up against it is the Speederbike. It's fast! It's puny! It falls apart at the touch of a button... The Aratech 74-Z Military Speeder Bike, which was featured in Return of the Jedi. This vehicle has been packed with every known movie pilot which today includes its standard pilot, the Imperial Scout Trooper, as well as Leia, Luke, and Ewok Scout Paploo. All of the pack-in figures are available in other venues (save for Paploo) be it a carded figure, or a Millennium Minted Coin box figure. Meanwhile, the speeder bike features a pivoting blaster cannon, braking flaps that operate remotely when the foot pedals are moved, and an explosive battle damage feature that causes the craft to blow apart when the camouflage jacket is pressed down on the rear of the craft.
The Speederbike defeated the Swoopbike 82-23 carrying 78% of the vote to its victory. It did similarly well against a Battledroid on a STAP in the Quarterfinals, where the Imperial Speederbike finished 135-35 carrying 79% of the vote (out of 170) for another perfect finish. Against Luke Skywalker's landspeeder, the speederbike sitll took 69.3% of the 153 votes, for a finishing score at 106 to 47.
While the AT-AT might be a behemoth of a toy / playset, and made it through some of the toughest matches, the speederbike ultimately had one of the best winning records out of all the Battle of the Machine's contestants.
-there's that, and the other Final Round making more sense that prompted this fight.
Well, uh....enjoy.
Choose your Champion: the AT-AT or the Speederbike!
Let's Fight!

Shares of Union Pacific (UNP) were sliding 0.6% on an otherwise upbeat day for markets, thanks in part to a downgrade from Avondale Partners.
Before the bell this morning, analyst Donald Broughton lowered his rating on the stock from Market Outperform to Market Perform, maintaining his $157 price target.
Broughton was at pains to stress it was a valuation call rather than a more bearish prelude: "We should be clear: this is not necessarily a call on the quarter or even a 'closet' recommendation to sell the stock, but instead this is a realization that the original tenets of our bullish thesis on UNP stretching four years back have either come to pass or are well priced into the stock at this time. We continue to believe that UNP is the best in class among the U.S. Class Is, but also believe that at current levels the preponderance of share price outperformance has been realized."
Still, the market seemed not to take notice of the longer-term argument today, as investors sent the shares downward. Yet the stock is still up more than 33% in the past year, outpacing the S&P 500 and other railroad stocks like Norfolk Southern (NSC) and CSX (CSX).
Union Pacific is slated to report earnings July 18.

Part 5: Holding the Gains and Spreading Improvement
Part 6: Supporting Information
Part 2: Characteristics for Success: HIV Screening for Pregnant Women
Organizations successful in improving HIV Screening for Pregnant Women pay close attention to those factors that have an impact on timely prenatal care. Although clinics may differ in specific work flow, documentation, and staffing models, organizations that experienced successful improvement efforts shared these three fundamental characteristics:
Successful organizations found that it is important to define clearly what they are trying to accomplish. Most often in improvement work, leadership defines an aim that guides an organization's efforts. An aim is a written, measurable, and time-sensitive statement of the accomplishments a team expects to achieve from its improvement efforts. The aim statement contains a general description of the work, the system of focus, and numerical goals. The aim statement includes a very specific indication of what success looks like and may include guidance that further frames the work, including methodologies to be used and budgetary and staffing limitations. Examples of tools used by QI teams to create their aim statements include an Aim Worksheet and Aim Statement Checklist. (21) Additional information, including tools and resources to assist an organization in developing its aim statement, can be found in the Readiness Assessment and Developing Project Aims module. A completed aim statement for the measure, HIV Screening for Pregnant Women , is shown in Example 2.1: Assessing the Aim Statement for Big Valley Health Care Organization (BVHCO) Using the Aim Statement Checklist.
The following hypothetical example provides an aim statement created by a QI team of a fictional center called the Big Valley Health Care Organization, and the checklist the team used to assess its completed aim statement. Using the Aim Statement Checklist to assess the QI team's aim statement provides reassurance that the team included the necessary components of the aim statement for its improvement project.
Example 2.1: Assessing the Aim Statement for Big Valley Health Care Organization (BVHCO) Using the Aim Statement Checklist
Aim Statement: Over the next 12 months, we will redesign the care systems of Big Valley Health Care Organization to improve HIV screening for pregnant women. We will accomplish this so that 90 percent of our prenatal patients will receive HIV testing during their first or second prenatal visit.
Other examples of aim statements for HIV Screening for Pregnant Women that an organization may consider are:
Evaluating what others achieved provides appropriate context for choosing the numerical portion of an organization's aim. (21) In some cases, data is available to show average performance for a group of practices that focused on a particular measure. For example, the Indian Health Service (HIS) monitors HIV testing of pregnant women and has seen an increase in screening rates from 54 percent in 2005 to 76 percent in 2009, as shown in Figure 2.1.
The HIS goal for 2009 was to maintain the rate at 75 percent, but HIS' rate surpassed that goal with an increase to 76 percent. HIS has not established a 2010 goal for this measure.
For some measures, it may be possible to find examples of benchmark data, which demonstrates the performance of a best practice. It is important to consider an organization's particular patient population when making comparisons to others' achievements. An organization may consider socioeconomic status or race/ethnicity of the population served, organizational size, payer mix, and other criteria in an effort to achieve an accurate comparison. Reviewing what others accomplished may help an organization to understand what is feasible to achieve. The numerical part of the aim should be obtainable, yet high enough to challenge the team to substantially and meaningfully improve. Additional guidance about setting aims can be found in the Readiness Assessment and Developing Project Aims module.
Sources to consider when choosing an aim or making performance comparisons for the HIV Screening for Pregnant Women measure, include the HIS measure, Prenatal HIV Screening, which is the percentage of HIS pregnant women who are tested for HIV during their pregnancy. The 2009 goal for this measure is 75 percent. (22) Sources of data for additional comparisons vary regionally but may include payers, managed care organization databases, State programs, and State or regional quality improvement programs.
2. Functional Infrastructure for Quality Improvement
Successful organizations found that improvement work requires a systematic approach to measuring performance, testing small changes, and tracking the impact of those changes over time. This section describes four essential components of an infrastructure to support quality improvement efforts, including:
There is considerable variation in how this infrastructure for quality improvement is created and maintained. It is important that each component is addressed in a way that fits an organization.
Quality Improvement Teams
Multidisciplinary QI teams are typically tasked to carry out this work. For improvement focused on HIV Screening for Pregnant Women, it is important to include a provider who wants to focus on improving the rate of early prenatal care, i.e., a provider champion for improvement. (23) In addition to the provider champion, other appropriate members of a QI team may include:
It should be noted that patients can add great value to the QI process when prepared to participate in a meaningful way. The reference manual by the National Quality Center (NQC), A Guide to Consumer Involvement, has practical ideas to assist an organization on how to involve patients in its QI process. (24)
There are no wrong answers here. Members of a team bring expert knowledge of the work they do for prenatal patients. Together, the team learns where and how its individual actions intersect and how each can have a positive impact on patients' HIV testing. The ability to think from a systems perspective and the will to improve early access to prenatal care are the primary prerequisites that contribute to a successful improvement team. A more advanced discussion on forming an improvement team can be found in the Improvement Teams module.
Tools and Resources
It is important that a QI team have the tools and resources necessary to achieve its established organizational aim. Some personnel may struggle shifting from the daily work of patient care to their roles on the quality improvement team. Those challenges can be straight forward, such as, coordinating meeting times or developing content for the meetings to support the team's quality improvement efforts. Successful QI teams learned that organizing meetings efficiently is essential in their improvement efforts. Tools such as Tips for Effective Meetings, can help a QI team to structure meetings that focus its scheduled time on improvement efforts. Another useful tool includes one that displays data in a way that makes sense to the team members. These types of tools are commonly used by improvement teams to remain focused on the work of improvement. The most important resource needs are uninterrupted time to focus on quality improvement and autonomy to test changes responsibly. Additional team resources and tools can be found in the Improvement Teams module.
Organizing Improvements
Successful organizations learned that planning an approach to change is essential. Change is, by nature, unsettling for some and presenting a clear direction and methodology can be reassuring and can engender support from staff. Most organizations with quality improvement experience adopted methodologies that help them organize their improvements.
As a QI team approaches improvement of HIV screening for pregnant women, it should use quality models already embraced by its organization. For example, many organizations adopted the Care Model to organize their approaches to implementing quality improvement changes. Others successfully embraced the FOCUS PDSA approach; both of these models provide a framework for a health care organization to plan and move toward implementing its improvement efforts. There is no single model that is considered correct. Organizational alignment of methodology makes sense from the perspective of efficient training. A consistent quality improvement approach and the sharing of improvement ideas among members of a quality team can facilitate the replication of QI activities across an organization and maximize the impact of the overall QI program.
Just as organizations that are experienced in quality improvement activities adopted quality models that guide their work, many embraced a change methodology. A change methodology guides the actual change process, which involves managing how changes are made as opposed to what changes are made.
For some organizations, all changes are approved by a decision leader and then implemented. Others use a committee structure to evaluate and implement changes. Again, there is no right or wrong methodology, but one change methodology that is helpful in quality improvement is the Model for Improvement. The Model for Improvement, developed by Associates in Process Improvement, is a simple, yet powerful, tool for accelerating improvement. The model is not meant to replace a change model that an organization may already be using, but rather to accelerate improvement by making it systematic and stepwise in approach. This model has been used successfully by health care organizations to improve many different health care processes and outcomes.
The Model for Improvement encourages small, rapid-cycle tests of changes. In improvement, this has a distinct advantage in decreasing the time it takes for changes resulting in improvement to be implemented. This methodology also directly involves the individuals who do the work, as they provide additional practical insights into how to rapidly improve care processes. Advance discussions can be found in the Testing for Improvement module
Building on the Efforts of Others by Using Changes that Worked
One hallmark that successful organizations found beneficial in advancing their quality improvement programs is that everyone across the organization uses the same tools and language to make continuous improvements. A motto of many QI training leaders is "steal shamelessly." This is not the unethical, criminal intent, but instead the sense of "Why reinvent the wheel?" What does it mean to "steal shamelessly"? It means "stealing" or using what has worked in other organizations and "shamelessly" testing and implementing it to create rapid change in one's own organization.
Specific change ideas that worked for others to successfully improve prenatal care are detailed later in this module in the Changes that Work section. Additionally, an organization that has improvement experience in another measurement area, such as, diabetes, cancer screening, or immunizations, is often able to adapt the successful tools to use with a new measure.
For quality improvement efforts to be effective and sustained, leaders must show commitment to them. Typically, leaders may make a commitment to specific target areas for improvement once they consider the overall needs of the organization, requirements of funders, and how the proposed efforts align with the organization's vision, mission and strategic plan. Leaders that consider quality improvement efforts as an "add-on" may be unable to maintain QI as a priority as other realities compete for the organization's attention and resources. Successful leaders in quality improvement integrate and align QI activities as part of their daily business operations and are able to message that concept to the rest of the organization.
A quality improvement team needs to have leadership commitment expressed in a tangible way. Often, it is an explicit dedication of resources, which may include team meeting time, data support, and specific planned opportunities that communicate actionable improvement suggestions to an organization's leadership. The authority of the improvement team and any constraining parameters should be clear. Detailed information highlighting the important role of leadership in a QI project can be found in the Quality Improvement module.
Below is a hypothetical case study that is followed throughout the module and depicts the effort of a fictional QI team as it focuses on improving the number of prenatal patients in its organization who receive HIV screening. The case study may be read in its entirety by clicking here.

You are here
I keep getting distracted by news of a good sale, and this one I'm dying to hit, so I've gotta share it with you. One of my all-time fave haunts for all things home furnishings is having a tent sale this weekend! ESD on Savannah Highway (their first, and longtime location was on King Street) is promising price tags up to 80% off. If you're unfamiliar, they've got a pretty eclectic mix--lots of antique wood tables, lamps, plus lots of pretty upholstery. Here's the deal: It's this Thursday, August 19 through Saturday, August 21. 9am-4pm, 422 Savannah Highway. See you there!
Then again, this time of year, EVERYONE should be a bargain shopper. Store owners are trying to make room for new inventory, and you can really clean house. Examples:
I hear Celadon has 20% and 30% markdowns on rugs and outdoor furniture, GDC is running 20% discounts, Acquisitions on East Bay Street is discounting upholstery, Maine Cottage is holding a sale on their floor samples... I recommend calling up your favorite shop today and asking what's on sale. This time of year, there's bound to be a bargain.
And here's a thought: if you hit this sale or any other local event—or even just an antique mall with year-round deals—why not shoot me an email and show off your loot? After all, who doesn't like to brag about scoring a killer deal? And second, I can share with other readers as a reminder what can be unearthed right here in our local shops, without a trip to Atlanta or New York. So bring it on—I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

Exploring the Spessart-Main region in every direction: You can do just that on the Spessart Hills Trails 1 and 2, which take you to the most scenic places that the Spessart hills nature reserve has to off er.
The Spessart hills make up one of Germany's largest single expanses of forest. From west to east, the Spessart Hills Trail 1 crosses the Bavarian Spessart nature reserve, starting in Aschaffenburg's Fasanerie Park. The first highlights are the rock formation on the Teufelskanzel (devil's pulpit) and Kippenburg castle ruins on Godelsberg hill, followed by Schmerlenbach Convent, a destination for many pilgrims and walkers. The Spessart Hills Trail 1 and Spessart Hills Trail 2 intersect near Waldaschaff. Further west, you reach the town of Rothenbuch in the Upper Spessart with its electoral residence. From the heights of the Spessart Hills we head down into the Main valley to the beautiful Franconian town of Lohr am Main. Here, in the former 'fishermen's quarter', you cross the river Main to Mariabuchen pilgrimage church. You then start your descent towards the Franconian town of Gemünden am Main, which is located on three rivers.
Tip: Lohr Castle and Spessart Museum
The 14th-century castle in Lohr, which was originally built as a residence for the Counts of Rieneck, today houses the Spessart Museum. This 2,000m² exhibition explores the history of the Spessart region and its inextricable links with the forest.

Standing for the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board
According to its charter, the Linux Foundation Technical Advisory Board exists "to advise The Linux Foundation Board of Directors (Board) and the management of The Linux Foundation (Management) on matters related to supporting the technical agenda of The Linux Foundation". It consists of 10 members, with 5 seats up for election each year. Elections take place at an event at Kernel Summit, but are also open to attendees of whichever conference is colocated with the Kernel Summit that year. The election announcement is emailed to the Linux kernel list and tech-board-discuss, a mostly moribund list that springs into life once a year for election announcements.
This arrangement seemed odd to me even back in 2007. Back then the Linux Foundation was already sponsoring development of certain non-kernel components, and now that list is even larger. While nominally open to all, nominations for the TAB tend to end up being people actively involved in the kernel community. That's probably better than people limited to any other single technical community (kernel developers tend to end up dealing with bugs from a fairly wide range of projects, so they're not entirely unaware of what other people have to deal with), but it still seems suboptimal. The current membership is mostly limited to people who spend little to no time working with userspace developers, let alone anyone active in other Linux Foundation projects. I don't think this is a good thing
So, after several years of considering it, I'm finally standing for the TAB. I've been an active developer at most levels of the Linux stack, from the kernel through to desktop environments. I've worked closely with distributions. I've even worked closely with firmware developers. I'm not intimately involved in any of the other Linux Foundation projects, but I have experience that allows me to better understand their needs and motivations than I'd have from having spent my entire life living in the kernel. Being on the TAB would make it easier to ensure that these projects are represented in a meaningful way.
Of the other people who I know are standing (and this list may well grow longer), I'm inclined to vote for:
- Greg Kroah Hartman - while we've disagreed on a range of points, Greg's worked closely with userspace developers and even represents the Linux Foundation on the UEFI Forum. He's able to provide a wide range of expertise to the TAB and it benefits from that.
- Jon Corbert - Jon's work on LWN should need no introduction. He's done an amazing job of keeping track of a range of technical developments across the entire Linux community, so is uniquely well suited to making sure that a range of opinions is represented.
- Sarah Sharp - Sarah's certainly primarily a kernel developer, but she's been the loudest voice calling for the kernel community to spend some time thinking about whether it's as welcoming as it could be. Increasing the diversity of the kernel community allows us to hear a wider range of technical viewpoints, which benefits both the kernel and everything that depends on it.
The election is currently scheduled to be National Museum in Edinburgh on the evening of the 23rd of October. If you're attending Linuxcon or one of the colocated events, please do come along and vote.

Enslaved - Yggdrasill (CD)
Enslaved was formed by Ivar Bjornson and Grutle Kjellson in 1991, & are based in Bergen, Norway. Ivar & Grutle had previously played together in the death metal band, Phobia. Taking a different route to many of the extreme metal Norwegian bands of the early 90's, Enslaved embraced their Viking history & culture, composing ferocious epics of extreme metal combined with hypnotic riffs & repetitious structures; Enslaved even becoming signed to Euronymous' Deathlike Silence label early in their career.

Eames® Molded Plywood Coffee Table
Herman Miller
Before it was Herman Miller, it was Michigan Star Furniture Company and D.J. De Pree had been working there for 4 years as a clerk, after its opening in 1905. In an effort to aid his son-in-law to buy the company, West Michigan businessman, Herman Miller bought Michigan Star Furniture Company in 1923. Subsequently, the company was renamed Herman Miller and within due time the Herman Miller brand name became synonymous with "modern" furniture as the company grew and employed well known designers such as: George Nelson and Charles and Ray Eames; under who the company would produce pieces that would become some of the world's most iconic and well known designs.
Since the company's re-branding, collaborations with designers like Isamu Noguchi, Alexander Girard, Robert Propst, Bill Stumpf, Don Chadwick, Ayse Birsel, Studio 7.5, Yves Behar, Doug Ball, and etc have aided with the company's growth; turning Herman Miller into one of the most influential brands in today's design market. Herman Miller furniture is well recognized around the world for elevating the design of any commercial or residential setting. As a leading brand that boasts modern and mid-century modern designs, Herman Miller has effectively put itself on the map as a key and notable brand that continues to stay at the forefront of producing great designs that will not only maintain relevance but quality as well. From pioneering ergonomic office furniture to stewarding environmental leadership in business strategy and manufacturing processes, Herman Miller's commitment to quality and the world around us continues to be a factor in driving their design solutions for the modern home and workspace. And with proven, all-around reputable pieces, it is without a doubt that any authentic Herman Miller furniture will guarantee lasting excellence throughout the decades to come.
With a grand sense of adventure, Charles and Ray Eames turned their curiosity and boundless enthusiasm into creations that established them as a truly great husband-and-wife design team. Their unique synergy led to a whole new look with modern furniture. Lean and modern. Playful and functional. Sleek, sophisticated, and beautifully simple. That was and is the "Eames look."
Their historical impact on the modern design shift and their relationship with Herman Miller began with molded plywood chairs in the late 1940s and included the world-renowned Eames lounge chair, which is now in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
In addition to his professional career, Mark has been an industrial design professor at Pratt Institute for 14 years. In his graduate furniture design class, students are responsible for the ideation, design, and execution of an actual piece of furniture. The emphasis of the course is to encourage students to develop their own individual point of view.View other products by Charles + Ray Eames
