What a hoot! Kids will have to read such things as Executive Order 13423 & this will make them literate?
Kudos to those teachers who believe that there is still something more to be learned from great works of literature than from some of the written material that will now become mandatory ...
These "informational texts" could turn kids off from reading for the rest of their lives! Shouldn't this stuff be part of curricula in what we used to call "Civics" or "Social Studies" ... not English class?Literacy experts point out that The Common Core denigrates the value of teaching literature in the classroom. Instead, English teachers are being told that 50 percent of their course material must be derived from informational texts. (Actually, the informational text requirement starts at a mere 25 percent of reading material for kindergarteners. It rises to 70 percent for high school seniors.)
What, exactly, meets the definition of informational texts? Among those recommended on the national standards list we find The Federal Reserve Banks FedViews, The Evolution of the Grocery Bag, and Health Care Costs in McAllen, Texas. And, roll over For Whom the Bell Tolls its time to make way for that GSA classic: Executive Order 13423: Strengthening Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management.

Earth's Facial
Exfoliating Earth's Skin
Student Exploration
Have you ever received a facial?
During most facials, a scrub is used to exfoliate your skin. The Earth experiences a very similar process during a mechanical weathering process called abrasion!
Think about it. When you walk on the beach on a windy day, it can be a painful experience as the sand grains begin to pelt you. If those sand grains hit a cliff instead of you, they slam into the side of the cliff and begin to smooth out its surface by breaking off pieces of rock. Just like an exfoliating scrub might take the dead skin cells off of your face, these sand grains are scrubbing the surface of the Earth! Awesome landforms are created from this process:
If you splurge on your facial, you might also experience a chemical peel or some other chemical exfoliant that helps you shed the necessary skin cells. Coincidentally, the Earth sometimes splurges for the more intense facial as well! Chemical weathering processes like oxidation, produce results like this:
Extension Investigation
- What happened here? Would this be considered mechanical or chemical weathering? Draw a comic strip/flip book showing how this formed. Here is an example: Arctic Frost Wedging
- When/where would this process of frost wedging be a problem? For one of the problems that you brainstorm, devise a possible solution.
- Scientists have been gathering data from the dissolution of gravestones in cemeteries. GSA's Gravestone Project
- Is this chemical or mechanical weathering?
- What type of data do you think that they are collecting?
- Why would they want to collect this data? What can they interpret from this data?

Spring Boat Maintenance?
What are the things people do to prepare their boat at the start of spring? What is the best way to burn of the fogging oil? Should you start the motor with the old plugs and then change them after you burn the fogging oil off?
Ask Pete, he has some secret solution/ formula for burning off the foggin oil that cleans off your plugs as well.
Jeff uses...
150 Octane Aviation fuel and runs at full throttle until... :D
the smoke stops or the engine starts throwing parts... :devil:
Then again...
If you upgrade to a new motor ever Fall, you'll never have to deal with clearing that unsightly fogging oil... :smokin: :rolleyes:
I start it and smoke out the neighbors, blast it with engine tuner give it 10-12 hours and run it on the old plugs in the harbor for 1/2 hour. I have already replaced the water separator/filter in the fall. I put the new plugs in after all the junk is blown out. Not a bad idea to bring fresh plugs out on the 1/2 hour voyage just in case the old ones foul up.
I suggest checking with a dealer for specifics procedures for your engine.
Engine Tuner?
What kind of engine tuner do you use?
I use the OMC product because it screws right onto the primer valve and there is no need to hit each cylinder individually.
All screwing around aside...
Last year was my first with my own so I ran off the old spark plugs for a trip or two and then replaced them.
I got a little electrical work done this weeked. Powered up the chartplotter & reviewed the boats last trip (not mine) down in NC.
Before I lower the trailer off the blocks:
1. Fill the tires and check pressure for any leaks, pull & re-lube bearings.
2. Check brakes, make sure they're free, check brake fluid & top off
3. Break loose each weel nut & re-tighten so I know I can get them off if I need to.
Take trailer off blocks & replace wobble rollers on trailer that HAVE to be replaced.
Install trim tabs
Have rocket launchers welded on
Clean & seal all electrical connections
Replace fuel filter
No leaning post this year - maybe mid season
I have every intention of waxing the hull but I doubt if that will really get done right.
All volunteers welcome.
Speaking of cleaning and sealing electrical connections.
While installing the wiring for the gps I noticed a bit of corrosion on some some of the wiring, not bad but I better get brushing. I remember Penguin mentioned using one of the crc products for rust prevention. I think This is it
Pete, How did that work out for you?
Spring Start up
I will usually change all the fuel filters in the fall and then I use to run the boat for a day or two, then change the plugs. BUT, if you can afford the money your engine should see a qualified mechanic once a year. Especially if your running any of the new technology out there. I now find myself doing my own winterizations on all three boats, but bring them to the Yamaha mechanic in the spring.
If you find a good company like I have at Nauset Marine, there bill has everything listed they did on the boat ,so there is no question on the billing. I find on average it is about $3-500 for the spring start up for a F225. There is a lot more to be done on todays motors than just plugs and filters. Remember, little things like your control cables need to be adjusted never mind idle control and valves (for the four strokes) and if your using the boats on the flats, like we do in Chatham, you MUST change your water pump every spring. With an initial investment of $18000 for a F225, that $500 bill once a year isn't looking to bad.
Stuff you can and should do.
fill and charge your batteries, clean all terminals on batteries and wires to those batteries with a wire brush. Check, no really, undo your bilge pump and make sure the paddle is free of debris and test your float switch and manual switch. Three miles out is not the time to find out your bilge pump only makes noise. Wash and wax your gel coat and wax more than once a year, if you can. $5000 for a paint job vs $10 for wax and 2 hrs time. If your boat bottom is painted sand and repaint to save on fuel. And last but not least GREASE the hell out of those fittings.
Happy boating and remember boating is not a cheap sport.
Capt Keith

As a federation of over 200 Member Associations in 160 countries, we have a strong voice for diabetes.
By building strategic alliances and partnerships across all sectors – UN, governments, civil society and the private sector – our impact for people with diabetes is even stronger.
One of the most impressive and influential partnerships is the NCD Alliance. Because of the reputation of IDF and the NCD alliance, we have built influential relationships across sectors. We have strong relations with WHO and other UN agencies, intergovernmental organisations such as CARICOM, the Commonwealth and PAHO, influential academic institutions including The Lancet, and NGO communities including the Partnership for Maternal and Newborn Child Health (PMNCH). These partnerships and allies have catapulted IDF onto the global stage, allowing us to represent diabetes at the highest political levels, deliver speeches and statements to decision makers and contribute to influential articles and publications.
Diabetes is more than just a health issue and at IDF we believe partnerships are the cornerstone of the diabetes response. To support this view, IDF has launched the Dubai Blueprint – the result of IDF's Global Diabetes Forum (GDF), held at the World Diabetes Congress in Dubai in December 2011.
The Dubai Blueprint
The Global Diabetes Forum convened over 100 leading figures from governments, the private sector and civil society to discuss multisectoral action with a focus on the private sector. The recommendations and best practice examples from the GDF have shaped the Blueprint, which will support global multisectoral approaches to diabetes and NCDs in the future.

Citizendium LOL As one of Larry Sanger's designated TROLL!s there is zero chance that I will be participating there even if it managed to improve on Wikimedia Foundation leadership/governance challenges. However, I was curious to see what improvements they would choose to make to encourage success in building a viable community to create and maintain their fork of Wikipedia. I was amazed to find that there was very little change other than an up front charter/manifesto that Larry and Larry's appointed buddies with P'hds would be in charge and that people were expected to use their realife identities and give some basic background information. Sanger recently advertised that he would be a fixed term dictator, not god king for life, as if this would be a major improvement. After some consideration I still conclude that:
1.) Sanger is still an obnoxious self righteous idiot who probably still does not understand that an ad hominem attack from an alleged P'hd in Philosophy periodically makes him look like a ten year old who has managed to get his game system attached to the internet.
2.) Sanger either brilliantly took my advice regarding mana and engineering and decided on slow increments of "improvements" or independently figured out that duplicating the early Wikipedia environment was a best way to rapidly recreate Wikipedia's success. Time enough to fix the flaws after a viable project emerges. By which time he will have filtered the community to people willing and eager to put up with him in charge. Exactly the Bomis strategy with Wikipedia. Brilliant! Again!
So a measure of success is inevitably how long Citizendium takes to achieve its first viable community fork.
Wikipedia I have been browsing around Wikipedia doing some research and considering ways to possibly attract attention to some Wikiversity projects in which I have interest. I find the current predictions of doom scattered around the web from various knee jerk opponents (note: not critics, their constructive observations serve a critical feedback function) who still claim it is a temporary phenomenon which cannot possibly succeed longterm amazingly tenacious.
Regarding finances. Yes they still beg for money and allow the servers to slow down response when inadequate rather than doing some basic long term business planning and getting the foundation on a solid continuously funded footing. However, a rapid response emergency plan has been floated as a balloon on the mailing list. Display google ads only to unregistered users and only on select pages. Revenue potential is high and immediate. Jimmy Wales has previously promised no advertising but I suspect in an emergency someone could throw him reluctantly into the briar patch.
Regarding qualityThere have been multiple technical fixes to quality control and improvement identified/explained/proposed on the mailing lists, around the Wikipedia site, in gas station rest rooms, and even the occasional review by a constructive critic. Most of these are certainly viable and easy to implement ranging from based upon stable/unstable release versions of articles, to threshhold support voting, to etc. etc. Meanwhile is it simple enough for anyone to revert vandalism or article rot or click back a few versions in the history log. Most detractors ignore this through ignorance or malevolence. Personally I think it is idiotic that a stable version is not shown until a threshold of trusted users (can anyone say advogato style trust metric) have clicked on an [advance to stable version delivered to users] button as myself and many others have proposed on various mailing lists.
Many other viable quality control approaches have been proposed and ignored. Why? I think it is an artifact of early days when growth was paramount. That growth recruited people who love the immediacy of the "Wiki Way!" Whenever the subject of rationalizing version control and presenting the best available approved version to the public as default rather than whatever was edited a few seconds ago the Wiki Way people get hysterical. Every one else agrees that Wikipedia is not finished yet and drops the subject to calm the hysterical vanity tweakers, my tweaks must show immediately to public, cannot be restricted just to active editors for mere eternities much less days or weeks or months until ready to satisfaction of trusted community members.
Of course, Wikipedia will never be finished. Just like a massive engineering project the redlines will never be done. Revision control is necessary to have the correct version of drawings depicting best known information regarding the facility or equipment. If used for critical engineering decisions the information must still be checked against the physical plant, equipment or software release versions and any redlines hanging in the drafting queue or in technicians work order files. Granted it is the responsibility of the Wikipedia user to use the information responsibly ... why force them to start from random crap rather than the currently available best version ..... (but if we say it is good they may not check it, but does this make us responsible if they use the information to modify a nuclear reactor?, but they should know that after they check all the information they can fix the mistakes, and on and on) ....
This is an area where Citizendium may do us a huge favor. See? Even successful forks can be invigorating? By their promise to provide easy access to certified best information available for use at your own risk, they may force the Wikipedia community to stop foot dragging and make it easy for casual users to read the best source text/code available by default rather than whatever tweaks, vandalism, mistakes, or propaganda happen to be sitting in the priveleged top queue position pointed at when John Q. User (not a Wikipediac) requests some reference information. (but we are a Wikipedia not an encyclopedia or a body of reference information, editing here is only a fun way to waste time). This vast improvement of Wikipedia achieved merely by delivering the stable code vs. the unstable code to the user by default will not hurt Citizendium. Their market niche is clearly defined by a committment that P'hds will have reviewed the material presented to the random public. Even should the vast pool of talent at Wikipedia (which does indeed include quite a few actual P'hds along with some pond scum alleging they have credentials) match Citizendium's article quality. Their credentialism should provide a large niche market secure from Wikipedia in the short term.
Regarding project status Overwhelming success. There may never be another GFDL general purpose English language encyclopedia in the history of mankind that is not derived at least in part from Wikipedia. I cannot speak for other languages but they appear to be progressing as well. In a few more years that statement will be probably be true for most specialized encyclopedias. Even though "Deletionists" keep claiming much human knowledge is not "notable" others keep putting it and more back. Why would anyone start from scratch when such an excellent body of reusable work available in machine transparent form exists?
Regarding long term survivalThe English Wikipedia community seems to have its ups and downs and it would not surprise me to see the Wikimedia Foundation implode. I suspect there are backups around the web that could be acquired by legal action if necessary if someone wanted to restore the database and start a new community from scratch. Personally I suspect the Wikimedia Foundation will eventually get its act together and that the overall community and database is now rather robust and indestructible in a Phoenix kind of way.
Most importantly.Should Wikimedia Foundation implode tommorrow and Wikipedia databases be corrupted and unsalvageable .... the project (which I view as a prototype for open engineering activities) is still a resounding success. It has proven that gnu/linux is not a fluke or a fad. People scattered worldwide interested in improving the human condition via a gift economy can accomplish anything that a government or a wealthy capitalist could accomplish in the past and possibly a few things they could not. Can an operating system be developed and given away for free? Yes. But that is software whisper/shout the critics. Can an encyclopedia be developed and given away for free? The superset Wikipedia (Wikipedia is more than an encyclopedia.) was. But that is merely information. Can a Manhattan style nuclear bomb or an Apollo style ICBM be developed over the internet by thousands of volunteers scattered worldwide. Based upon this google search for open source car I suspect the answer is yes. But it would be expensive and why would you want to? I am curious as to whether open engineering could help make Lunar and Martian Tourism an "affordable" reality within a few decades. Perhaps open source fabbers will make hardware prototyping a bit cheaper in the near future. Notice the interesting open source media wiki the site is using to facilitate coordination. An open source CAE suite beginning with 3D models and spitting out engineering drawings and machine code for milling machines is probably a bit much for engineers to ask of the open source community before committing to open source software in a big way. The problem as always is preexisting proprietary data formats and art. How one would go about setting up a user friendly collaborative site to talk to computer illiterate engineers about what software tool features would be useful in open design of various components and/or systems for various purposes is currently a bit beyond me. Fortunately sites such as Wikiversity and Fabber at Home seem to be springing up in time to begin supporting the soon to be arriving thousands of open source engineering teams that may be required to open the new frontier for the benefit all people everywhere.

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 , 2:23 PM GMT on November 24, 2008
Since 1792, the Old Farmer's Almanac has been issuing long-range seasonal weather forecasts. This year, the Almanac is predicting that winter will be colder than average for 3/4 of the U.S., and above average over just 1/8 of the country. Only the Pacific Northwest and the upper Midwest near Minnesota are predicted to be warmer than average. For the Appalachian region that includes the three woolly bear forecasts I discussed last week, the Old Farmer's Almanac is siding with Oil Valley Vick and Kelly the woolly bear, forecasting colder than average temperatures. The Hagerstown Woolly Bears and NOAA disagree, predicting warmer than average temperatures are more likely.
How accurate is the Old Farmer's Almanac?
The Old Farmer's Almanac claims to have a secret formula developed in 1792 based on sunspots and climatology, which gives their long-range predictions 80% accuracy. I've heard a number of anecdotal stories about how uncannily accurate their forecasts are, and have always felt a vague sort of anxiety that maybe I should be checking them out when someone asks me what the upcoming winter will be like. However, the Almanac does not post any verification statistics of their forecasts. It is not hard to do a simple check of their forecast accuracy, though. Unfortunately, the results of my check and those done by several others show that there is little reason to believe that the Old Farmer's Almanac forecasts are any better than flipping a coin.
Figure 1. Observed departure of temperature from average for the period Nov. 2004-Mar. 2005. Superimposed in bold text is the winter forecast made in the 2004 Old Farmer's Almanac for the same period. The Almanac got four regions correct and eight incorrect, with two too close to call.
For example, for the winter of 2004-2005 (Figure 1), the November 2004 version of the Old Farmer's Almanac made a simple prediction of "cold" or "mild" for sixteen separate regions of the U.S. The original forecast map they presented only labels the U.S. in fourteen places, and I've overlaid these predictions on a temperature anomaly map showing what actually happened during the winter of 2004-2005. If we assume that "mild" refers to an above average temperature forecast and "cold" refers to a below average temperature forecast, then the Almanac got four regions correct, eight wrong, with two too close to call. Admittedly, I've "eyeballed" this, and it is a subjective verification. Still, I don't see any way that this forecast could approach even 50% (chance) accuracy. Their precipitation forecast fared better, with seven correct regions, five incorrect, and two too close to call. I also looked at the Farmer's Almanac forecasts for the winter of 2006-2007. They did much worse that winter, with only three of sixteen temperature forecasts verifying, and five out of twelve precipitation forecasts verifying (four were too close to call). For these two winters, the Old Farmer's Almanac made a successful forecast just 37% of the time.
Studies by Jan Null
Jan Null, a meteorologist who founded the private weather consulting firm, Golden Gate Weather in California, has evaluated the Old Farmer's Almanac predictions for San Francisco for three separate years. His first study looked at the forecasts for 1999-2000. His conclusion: "Even trying to be objective and giving the benefit of the doubt to cases that were close, I found last year's forecast from the Old Farmer's 2000 Almanac for San Francisco to be laughable at best and abysmal at worst. The Old Farmer's Almanac was wrong on their monthly temperature forecast 8 out of the 12 months (67%) and wrong on their rainfall forecast 5 of the 8 months evaluated (63%)". His grade for the Old Farmer's Almanac winter forecast for San Francisco during 2006-2007 was a D+. He also evaluated the Old Farmer's Almanac for two separate summers and winters for all sixteen regions of the U.S., and found mostly poor results. For the summer of 2005, just one of the sixteen Old Farmer's Almanac regional forecasts got both the temperature and the precipitation correct. He plans to post a verification of their 2008 summer forecast sometime in the next week.
Weatherwise magazine study
In the October 1981 issue of Weatherwise magazine, pages 212-215, John E. Walsh and David Allen performed a check on the accuracy of 60 monthly forecasts of temperature and precipitation from the Old Farmer's Almanac at 32 stations in the U.S. They found that 50.7% of the monthly temperature forecasts and 51.9% of the precipitation forecasts verified with the correct sign. This compares with the 50% success rate expected by chance.
Old Farmer's Almanac climate forecast
It's also of interest to note that the Old Farmer's Almanac believes that sunspot cycles and other factors suggest that "a cold, not warm climate may be in our future". Their climate forecaster is Joeseph D'Aleo, who was the first Director of Meteorology at the Weather Channel. Mr. D'Aleo is now retired, and is often quoted for his skeptical opinions about climate change.
The results of my forecast verifications and those done by several others indicate that there is little reason to believe the Old Farmer's Almanac claim of 80% accuracy. These verifications attempted to be fair, but one can justifiably argue they were not objective nor complete. However, unless the Almanac posts some scientific evidence to the contrary, I won't believe their forecasts are any better than flipping a coin. One's best bet for the upcoming winter forecast is to use NOAA's prediction, which calls for an an above-average chance of a warm winter across the center portion of the U.S. If you live in Banner Elk, North Carolina, it might be wise to go with Kelly the Woolly worm's forecast of a cold winter, though, given the success of her predecessors!
Tropical disturbance near Costa Rica
An area of disturbed weather (96L) has developed in the extreme southern Caribbean, near the coast of Costa Rica. Wind shear is a hefty 20-30 knots over the disturbance, which will keep any development slow. The disturbance will bring heavy rains to Costa Rica and Nicaragua through Wednesday. If the center can stay off shore, this disturbance has the potential to develop into a tropical depression. NHC is giving a moderate (20-50% chance) that 96L will develop into a tropical depression by Wednesday morning. The GFDL model does develop 96L, but none of the other models do. I'll have an update on the system this afternoon if it gets more organized.

An Introduction to Kenmare Lace
Welcome to the Kenmare Lace Experience
Kenmare Lace is a needlepoint Irish Lace. It is made with a needle and thread. It is based on the detached buttonhole stitch. The Poor Clare nuns came to Kenmare in 1861. They were brought there to teach the children of the locality. They did this very well. They also gave them a skill with which to earn a living. This skill was lacemaking.
The nuns in Kenmare were also talented artists. Training in design added value to their lacemaking and so Kenmare Lace became known worldwide.
Kenmare lace is still made today at the Kenmare Lace and Design Centre in Kenmare.
Here you can learn about the history of this unique industry started by the nuns of Kenmare.
Antique lace from the Poor Clare Convent can be seen in the Heritage Centre Situated in behind the Tourist Office and upstairs in the Kenmare Lace and Design Centre

Richard, wishing you and Gander the very best.
Wishing you and Gander the best, I'll keep you in our prayers.
"If we all did the things we are capable of doing we would literally astound ourselves." Thomas A Edison
Richard - not sure where you are but there is quite a lot of research being done currently w/ canine lymphoma. U of Tenn CVM is starting a clinical trial using a cancer-killing virus. They are working w/ Mayo Clinic, as this has human potential also. U Penn is working on a vaccine for lymphoma, to be used in conjunction with chemo I believe.
Might be something for you or your vet to look into, if you are close to either of these vet schools. If you want more info contact me at email@example.com
good luck!
So sorry to hear this. I hope he beats the odds and has a good run left. I know you'll do everything you can do for him, but it still must be hard. Hang in there and do everything you can with him now.

"Feetdown Beatdown Razr's Edge"
very sorry to hear. I went thru this with a golden in 2005, I was told that it was 100% fatal and that chemo may give 6 to 18 months. As others have stated the Whisky's ill effects from the chemo was limited. He was bad after the second dose but tolerated everything else well. Other than some hair loss - comments about golden hair to a minimum please - he was by and large his own self. In the end, he went out of remission with a month of stopping the treatment and passed on within a week. I do not know if I would repeat the chemo, but I did get 6 months.

Gander seems to be doing fairly well all things considered... He will have another infusion next Friday the 31st... Between the chemo and the steroids I think he may be feeling better... I'm sure it's only temporary, but everyday with him is a gift.
Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and prayers,

Sorry to hear about Gander. My avatar dog was diagnosed with lymphoma last July. It was devastating news to say the least. I am happy to say that 10 plus months later he is still with me. He went thru his initial protocol, finishing in December and stayed in remission for a month. I hunted pheasant and geese with him all last fall and he never missed a beat. After coming out of remission, we started on a rescue protocol and he responded very well. I was given 5-6 months with treatment as he was T cell lymphoma and he has beaten those odds.
I am an vet tech who has been working in oncology and integral medicine for past 13 yrs. I have treated a lot of dogs for lymphoma. It is the most treatable, tho very rarely curable form of cancer. Most dogs do very well while on chemo. We have treated service dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs doing performance like agility and most continue on with their lives without any problems.
As was previously stated only 5 percent are cured, but many get out to 13 to 18 months. A year may not sound like much but it is quite a long time in a dogs life.

Ocala, FL
The USAC Amsoil National Sprint Cars and the Southern States Midgets Series were given the honor to complete the 26 day Bubba Army Winter Nationals and they completed it in style!
The Southern States Midgets went into the night with a tie atop the standings- Ryan Partin of Florida and Aaron Farney of Indiana both had 163 to their name! Farney won Fast Qualifier with a 16.003 and won the Heat meaning he needed only to finish 2nd to wrap up the Florida portion of the championship. Damon Fortune would jump to the lead while Farney and Partin chased just as they had done 24 hours prior. Farney took the lead for a brief moment but didn't take it completely until lap 8. On lap 10 Partin would end his night and bring out the race's only caution. Farney took an easy win in the race and a hard-fought championship with it. Fortune would wind up 2nd while Andy Bradley, Darrin Davis, and Partin completed the top 5.
USAC Preliminary Events started with Qualifying and it was Chase Stockon again on top with a 13.936 (96.87 MPH) which was just .117 off of Bryan Clauson's NTR set on Thursday. Stockon would win his heat as would Chris Windom, who had flipped the night before and was using a back-up car. Landon Simon won his first career USAC Heat and Brady Bacon rounded Heat race action up with another win. Robert Ballou would win the B Main and Chris Gurley, again, used a Provisional to make the 23-car field.
The feature started with young Tyler Courtney on pole and Tracy Hines on the outside. Hines jumped to the early lead over Hunter Schuerenberg and Courtney before a lap 4 caution for a caution involving Gurley and Dallas Hewitt. A couple of cautions marred the early part of 15 laps but the real yellow flew with just 4 to go when Simon slowed right after Schuerenberg and Hines had gone at it for 5 laps. The final yellow flew with 2 to go when Justin Grant's tire went flat while running 3rd! The top 3 during the whole race jumped at it for 2 laps but Hines held off all challengers to go flag-to-flag at Bubba Raceway Park and pick up career win #45. Tyler Courtney took a career best 2nd and Chase Stockon was a happy podium finisher in 3rd. Robert Ballou finished a solid 4th and Schuerenberg completed the top 5.
The Bubba Army Winter Nationals were a huge success and we wish all of the competitors from the NeSmith Late Models presented by CrateRacinUSA, UMP DirtCar Modifieds, UNOH All Star Circuit of Champions 410 Sprints, World of Outlaws Late Models, USAC Amsoil National Sprint Car Series, and the Southern States Midgets Series a wonderful 2013! With every series setting a new track record it shows the progress Bubba has made with the track and it's only getting better! We hope to see you next Saturday for the regular season opener featuring the Florida Mini Sprints Association, our 1-800-ASK GARY Thunder Stocks, our Scorpion Racing Products UMP Modifieds, and our brand new Bubba Army 360 Sprint Cars!

Flacco is on the cusp of elite, Ryan is borderline average.
Flacco is on the cusp of elite, Ryan is borderline average.
Deshaun Watson is the TRUTH!
Ryan is approaching Tony Romo status. Plays well in the regular season but cant get over the hump in the playoffs. I. cant agree with the statement he is borderline average.
Matt Ryan: 30-42 396yrds 3 TDs 1 INT........Joe Flacco 21-36 240 Yrds 3TDs 0 INT
Hardly average. Why is it the average fan doesn't get the fact the QB doesn't play defense...and neither did the Falcons in the 2nd half. Plus having a mediocre coach inhibits the QB somewhat.
You wouldnt exactly say Flacco lit the world on fire after they fired Cam. The D has carried that team through the playoffs....see the shut out of the Pats in the second half and the dismantling of Brady
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Matt Ryan is good, but that fumble was just unbelievable. That's not even a rookie mistake, it's like a freshman mistake.
Matt Ryan is still young. Peyton didn't win his first playoff game for a few seasons either, and it took him even longer to finally win a SB. That said, it's getting tough to not look at the guy and see a choke artist. The rule of averages said he would win a play off game eventually, and they squeaked one out against Seattle, despite the team's best effort to choke it away. The same old Falcons showed up yesterday.
I don't get this sudden fascination with Flacco everyone has. Elite implies the guy can literally put the team on his shoulder if everything else is failing, and pull out a win. Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, and Peyton Manning can do that. Those QBs can overcome a total lack of defense, run game, and special teams breakdowns, and still pull out a victory. Can anyone honestly say they think Flacco could do that? I couldn't. The guy is an efficient QB, he makes the right reads, and he seems to keep the mistakes to a minimum. Surround a QB like that with playmakers, and it's a recipe for success. That does not, however, make him elite...
Matt Ryan is not good enough to carry a team through the air in the playoffs. His arm is subpar by playoff standards and he's not particularly mobile or athletic. Those traits naturally lend themselves to what we've seen, performances that decline in the postseason. His interception percentage is higher in the playoffs and his yards per attempt drops, to barely above 6.5. Yesterday's game was actually the first playoff game his yards per attempt were very good, exceeding his career average.
At this stage he'd need the perfect situational layout to advance to the Super Bowl, let alone win it. And it was extremely favorable this year, hosting teams with a rookie quarterback and essentially a rookie quarterback. He can't count on that again.
BTW, I thought Atlanta got a huge break yesterday when San Francisco chose to defer. None of the announcers mentioned it. Atlanta was on a huge high, after pulling out the Seattle game in the final seconds to get the monkey off their back. The offense was responsible. There's no way I would have intentionally handed the ball to that offense, at home, to open a conference championship game. You're asking for trouble, and an early deficit. I love to bet the first half but no chance I was getting involved with the 49ers -2 yesterday. Some of my betting friends who follow situational trends as I do mapped it out perfectly, betting Atlanta in the first half with intention to take the 49ers at halftime. A few of them chide me, probably with justification, for being reluctant to oppose my team in the first half, even when I know darn well it's a disastrous situational spot. I was the one who came up with these situational angles but my friends seemingly take greater advantage. Of course, it worked out for the 49ers when they scored to open the third quarter. But you can't depend on that. Comebacks are for fools.
Atlanta needs to fortify the team around Ryan, to allow him to pass when he wants to, not all the time. In virtually every playoff game Ryan has been asked to throw it 35 or 40 times or more. He can't get away with that. When I say I prefer Griese to Marino it's with an understanding the team would naturally be constructed around Griese's strengths, and not lazily as a pantyhose passing team. Atlanta ran the ball only 378 times this season. That's Marino territory. Kind of ridiculous to expect Matt Ryan to carry a team through the playoffs with those tendencies. He needs a framework of 25-30 passes in a playoff game.
Flacco's stats are very similar in the postseason to regular season, slightly above 2% interception percentage and roughly 7 yards per attempt. Not world beater but it keeps you in the game. In the Super Bowl I'll be interested to see if they used the shotgun approach, like 3rd and early 4th quarter yesterday, or return to standard.
BTW, that Ravens possession with about 8 minutes remaining yesterday was perhaps the dumbest football I've ever seen. Nobody talked about it since the game ended tamely. Brady failed on downs and New England was deflated, down 28-13. The defense at that point normally sags and running plays gash for good yardage. Instead, Baltimore brainstormed to line up in the shotgun again, and throw the ball incomplete on 2 of 3 plays. The Patriots were briefly energized when they had all but given up. Essentially the Baltimore possession didn't exist and the Ravens defense was forced to stop Brady again, with half the quarter remaining and the Patriots still with 3 time outs.
Yeah, Peyton overcome the hurdle and won a superbowl. However, what's more startling to me is that last week in Denver was the 8th time he was 1 and done. At 1-4, disappearing in 2 2nd halfs, being offensively goose-egged in last season's playoff, Ryan looks like an effective regular season QB, and maybe even a good one when not hearing the opponents pounding footsteps at his back to intimidate him in "all or nothing" games. But so far nothing would make the compelling argument that he's gonna be money in the postseason! On the other hand, Flacco is 8-4 and over the last 2 seasons he's thrown 10TDs and only 1 int, with about a 116QBR this postseason and and 96QBR in 11's postseason. Had Lee Evans not dropped that well placed end zone pass, the Ravens would be going back to the SB 2 years running.
Optimally I guess, you'd want to play Ryan during season and have Flacco step in for the playoffs since life under the Big Top or epic comebacks don't seem to phase the guy who out-dueled Brady and Peyton the last 2 weeks.
Again, Flacco was the bargain in the '08 draft.. and since hindsight is always 20/20 would have been the definitive way to go. Ryan might have been a better pick than Long , but we could have still had Long and traded up for Flacco who was zooming up the draft charts so he was far from a secret.

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 , 1:51 PM GMT on September 09, 2009
Hurricane Fred put on an impressive burst of intensification overnight, and is now a major Category 3 hurricane with 120 mph winds. However, Fred is not a threat to any land areas for at least the next week. Satellite imagery of Fred shows the spectacular signature of a classic Cape-Verdes type major hurricane, with a prominent eye, well-developed low-level spiral bands, and high cirrus clouds denoting excellent upper-level outflow on three sides. It is quite unusual to have such a powerful system so far east in the Atlantic, and Fred is only the third major hurricane to exist east of 35W. Fred is also the strongest hurricane so far south and east in our data record. However, this type of system would have been difficult to document before satellite pictures began in the 1960s.
Figure 1. Visible satellite image of Hurricane Fred at 10:30am EDT 9/9/09. Fred was a Category 3 (120 mph winds) at this time.
The forecast for Fred
Wind shear through Thursday morning is expected to stay in the low range, 5 - 10 knots, and ocean temperatures will be about 1 - 2°C above the threshold needed for tropical cyclone formation. Given these conditions, plus such factors as the temperature at 200 mb and the amount of moisture between 700 mb and 500 mb, this morning's run of the SHIPS model computes that the Maximum Potential Intensity (MPI) Fred can reach tonight is 140 mph (121 knots), which would make it a Category 4 hurricane. This is the strongest a hurricane can get in this region of the atmosphere. Very few hurricanes ever reach their MPI, and it will be interesting to see how close Fred gets to this mark.
Shear will rise to the moderate range, 15 - 20 knots, Thursday through Friday, then increase to the high range, 20 - 40 knots, Saturday through Sunday, thanks to a strong trough of low pressure traversing the North Atlantic. This should weaken Fred to a tropical storm five days from now. The trough will also pull Fred to the northwest and then north. Most of the models foresee that this trough will not be strong enough to fully recurve Fred to the northeast and out to sea. However, another strong trough of low pressure is forecast to traverse the central Atlantic about eight days from now, and this trough should be strong enough to recurve the storm northeastward out to sea. The odds of Fred making it all the way across the Atlantic to threaten land areas appear low at this time.
Elsewhere in the tropics
A weak front is expected to move off the Texas coast Friday and linger along the coast for several days. Beginning on Friday, we will need to watch the Western Gulf of Mexico for possible development of a tropical cyclone along this front. Any storm that develops would likely move northeast or north-northeast and impact Louisiana and northern Texas coast. The models are less enthusiastic this morning about developing such a storm than they were in previous runs, and there will be some high wind shear to the west for a potential tropical system to contend with.
New wunderground storm surge section launched
The Weather Underground is pleased to announce the release of the Internet's most comprehensive hurricane storm surge web pages. The new storm surge section provides more than 500 detailed, zoomed-in storm surge maps from the official storm surge model used by the National Hurricane Center--the Sea, Lake, and Overland Surge from Hurricanes (SLOSH) model. I've created SLOSH model worst-case flood maps for Category 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 hurricanes for the entire U.S. Atlantic coast, plus Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and the Bahamas. Zoom-in maps of fifteen important cities such as Miami, New York City, Boston, Tampa, and Corpus Christi are included. To help coastal residents see how past storms have affected their region, the wunderground storm surge pages also include SLOSH model animations of the surge for more than 40 historic storms--from the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635 to Hurricane Ike of 2008. You can access the new storm surge web pages.from our Tropical/Hurricane page, on the right side of the page under my blog box. I encourage all coastal residents along the U.S. coast to take the time to familiarize themselves with the storm surge risk where they live.
Figure 2. Sample water depth inundation image (left) and storm tide image (right), created using NOAA's SLOSH model. These Maximum of the "Maximum Envelope of Waters" (MOM) plots are for Tampa Bay, Florida, for a mid-strength Category 4 hurricane (sustained winds of 143 mph) hitting at high tide.
How to interpret the storm surge images
There are two sets of images available. The first set, titled "Maximum Water Depth", shows the water depth at each grid cell of the SLOSH domain. Thus, if you are inland at an elevation of ten feet above mean sea level, and the combined storm surge and tide (the "storm tide") is fifteen feet at your location, the water depth image will show five feet of inundation. The second set of images, titled "Maximum Storm Tide", shows how high above mean sea level the sum of the storm surge plus the tide reaches. Over the ocean, the storm tide and water depth images will show the same values. The storm tide images contain no information about how deep the water will be inland, and are generally less useful than the water depth images. All of these Maximum of the "Maximum Envelope of Waters" (MOM) images were generated for high tide, and thus show worst-case inundation scenarios for mid-strength hurricanes of each Saffir-Simpson Category (Category 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). Category 5 hurricanes have never occurred in the Mid-Atlantic or New England regions, so there are no Category 5 images shown there. No single storm will be able to cause the level of flooding depicted in the SLOSH storm surge images along the entire coast. A sample set of storm surge images for a Category 4 hurricane hitting Tampa Bay is shown in Figure 2. Black lines mark the coastline, and also delineate the grid the SLOSH model used. There may be storm surge present outside the boundaries of the grid, so pay attention to where the grid boundaries are. Also, if you see a high surge modeled for a narrow waterway that goes right up to the edge of the grid boundary, don't believe it. The model puts an artificial barrier at the grid boundary, and the surge is piling up against this non-existent barrier. Empty brownish grid cells with no coloration show where no inundation is computed to occur. St. Petersburg becomes two islands in a worst-case scenario Category 4 hurricane, as shown by the brown areas surrounded by colored areas of storm tide (this did occur during the Great Gale of 1848, a Category 4 hurricane that hit the city). The tide level is marked at the bottom of the color legend, and is 1 foot in this example. The left "maximum water depth" image shows how high above each grid cell the storm tide reaches. The storm tide--the combination of the storm surge plus the 1 foot high tide--reaches as much as 27 feet above mean sea level (pink colors) near downtown Tampa (right-hand "maximum storm tide" image). The amount of inundation inland is controlled by the elevation of the land. Some of the inland regions near downtown Tampa being inundated by the 27-foot storm tide are at an elevation of 19 feet, so as much as 8 feet of inundation will occur at those locations (dark blue colors in the left-hand "maximum water depth" image). Interstate highways are the thick grey-green lines, and smaller highways are shown as dark green and light green lines. If a road is inundated by storm surge, it will not appear. County boundaries are shown in red.
Twenty years ago on this date
On September 9, 1989, satellite imagery detected a strong tropical wave with plenty of spin and heavy thunderstorm activity moving off the coast of Africa, just south of the Cape Verdes Islands. The satellite analyst at the National Hurricane Center duly noted the tropical wave, the 35th such wave to move off Africa that year, in his tropical weather discussion. No one could suspect that the routine-looking tropical wave would eventually grow to become Hurricane Hugo--the costliest Atlantic hurricane of all time.

Let me cut right to the chase: the great thing about classic muscle cars was how damn honest they were. What you saw was what you got. These things were built for speed, but they weren't trying to be all fancy about it like a Ferrari. Take a common man's car, drop in a big ol' V8, and lay some rubber. Then add some muscle car parts if you got bored. That's all there was to it. I still can't get enough of 'em.
Now look at what we're dealing with these days. You've got traction control to keep our tires from spinning. Computer screens in the dashboard, because God forbid we have to sit somewhere for a while without some gadget to stare at. And don't get me started on all these safety standards that keep getting in the way. Hell, you can't even hang your arm out the window anymore because the doorsill's too high.
But stop the presses, because they got these so-called modern muscle cars nowadays, right? Chevrolet Camaro SS, Dodge Challenger R/T, Ford Mustang GT. All-American coupes with big V8s, just like the classic muscle cars we drove back in the day.
Well, I got to wondering whether they could make an old gearhead smile, so I went down to the dealerships to find the best muscle car on the market. Manual transmission, windows down, foot to the floor. Put these things through their paces. Not that anyone's asking for my opinion, but here's how I figure they stack up.
3. 2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS
To me, there's not much that's "retro" about this Chevy. Yeah, you can get a four-pack of gauges inside like the old cars had, but from the outside, the 2013 Camaro looks like a Hot Wheels car my son played with growing up. The original '60s Camaro was beautiful. This one's a cartoon character.
Don't get me wrong, the power's still there. Big time. Wood the throttle and you've got 426 horses to play with. The exhaust sounds like it can barely breathe, but you can still find plenty of muscle car parts in 2013. I'm thinking a nice cat-back Flowmaster would do the trick.
But you'd still have to crane your neck to see out of this thing. Visibility's terrible, and the doorsill is at my shoulder. Wham bam, no thank you, ma'am.
2. 2013 Dodge Challenger R/T
Now we're talkin'. This thing's huge, just like Challengers used to be. It sounds great right from the factory; love that V8 burble out the back like old school muscle cars. The ride's super smooth, unlike the overly stiff Camaro. You can even fit adults in the back, and there's plenty of room for their stuff in the trunk.
So why isn't it number one? Simple: I like a car that I can toss around a little. Just think about the movie Bullitt. Remember how McQueen was in a fastback Mustang, and the guys chasing him were in a Dodge that took up half the road? I don't need to tell you which car had the upper hand. The new Challenger's an honest muscle car, that's for sure, but I want something that's at home in tight corners, too.
1. 2013 Ford Mustang GT
I keep telling people I'll never buy a new car again, but tell you what, this modern Mustang muscle car had me thinking twice. You gotta hear the noises this V8 makes, first of all. They say that Ford did something funny with the intake to make it sound better, and you know what, I don't even care. I could listen to this thing run toward redline all day.
But the best thing about the 2013 Mustang muscle car is that it's a sports car, too. See, even the sportiest Mustang muscle car from the '60s was happiest when the road was straight. But this new one, my goodness, it'll go around a corner with the best of 'em. It's smaller than the other two, so that helps, and the visibility's better as well.
Truth is, the Mustang's still got an electronic throttle, electric power steering, and a whole bunch of other unnecessary stuff that gets between me and the road. Those are rental car parts, not muscle car parts. I don't think this Ford could ever really win my heart.
But if you ask me what's the best muscle car today for getting an old car guy's heart pumping, the answer's clear. Now that I've driven one, I'll always give a nod of respect when I see a new Mustang GT drive by.

Joanna Daniel performs this collection of 25 of the greatest fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm. Translator Margaret Hunt is credited with bringing German folklore to the attention of English-speaking children, but in this audiobook, Joanna Daniel gets all the credit for a charming performance that adults will appreciate as much as their offspring. Tom Thumb, Snow White, Cinderella, and the Frog Prince all make appearances here, as well as some lesser-known characters like Dummling, Catherine and Frederick, and Mother Holle. All of them are both rendered delicately and enlivened by Daniel's winsome English accent.
A collection of classic Brothers Grimm fairy tales, culled from Margaret Hunt's 1884 translation. The complete list of tales recounted here is: "The Goose-Girl", "The Little Brother and Little Sister", "Hansel and Gretel", "Oh, If I Could but Shiver!", "Dummling and the Three Feathers", "Little Snow-White", "Frederick and Catherine", "The Valiant Little Tailor", "Little Red-Cap", "The Golden Goose", "Bearskin", "Cinderella", "Faithful John", "The Water of Life", "Thumbling", "Briar Rose", "The Six Swans", "Rapunzel", "Mother Holle", "The Frog Prince", "The Travels of Tom Thumb", "Snow White and Rose Red", "The Three Little Men in the Wood", "Rumpelstiltskin", and "Little One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes".

The narrator couldn't have done a better job! Enjoyed entirely from start to finish, bravo!

These were comical. I was a little disappointed, I thought they would resemble the fairytales of my youth put only a few of them did.

Not really sure what that means.
No. If you have the circuit properly configured, you should see very little variance on the collector current.
You probably need a lower value resistor between 'drive' and 'base' or the transistor can't turn fully on.
It also requires that the collector sits higher than the base so the supply voltage - voltage on your load is higher than the base.
Using a transistor as a constant current device works well if the voltage is high enough compared to the load.
I think you always have to do some experimentation regarding the base resistor as the Hfe has a large spread,
This is what I got: 3.8v / 61.2ma7.6v / 61.4ma11.8v/ 61.6ma

Spotify is the largest and fastest growing music service of its kind, has only been available in Europe – but NOW it's finally available in the US. Spotify is an awesome way to manage your music, discover new music and share songs and playlists with your friends.
Spotify was launched in Sweden in 2008 out of a desire to develop a better, more convenient and legal alternative to music piracy. Spotify is now the second single largest source of digital music revenue for labels in Europe (IFPI, April 2011), making sure that artists get a fair deal.
There are three types of Spotify memberships: Free (yes FREE!), Unlimited and Premium. The free account allows you to enjoy on-demand, buffer-free access to over 15 million songs on your computer. You can also manage your own music files through Spotify, and sync with your cellphone or iPod. But – the free account features occasional advertising.
The Unlimited account is $4.99 per month and offers the same awesomeness as the free account but with no commercials! Then – the Premium account – which is $9.99 per month — gives you access to all the music, all the time. Listen online or offline, on your computer, your cellphone as well as other devices. Premium also gives you enhanced sound quality and access to exclusive content, competitions and special offers.
Playlist Ideas:
I received a Beta invite because I'm a member of a website called Klout – if you want to try out Spotify why not sign up for Klout (for free) and see if you get an invite to Spotify too!

You are never going to seal up the borders totally. If you can get drugs into the country by tunnels and subs then you can get people in too. Haitians will still attempt by boat. The dilemma for Republicans is that they don't like the bill for sealing the border. As a result any measure will be half a$$ed. As for government bloat, this one will be fed on a lot of pork.

Small things amuse small minds.
Terminal is a powerful tool. But it can be used for fun things too! You can watch Star Wars in Terminal, and now you can open the Nyan Cat on Terminal. The possibilities are endless! To show the Nyan Cat in your Terminal window, you will need to enter a command. There are two different commands for two separate systems:
PHP Code:
nc -v miku.acm.uiuc.edu 23
PHP Code:
nc -T miku.acm.uiuc.edu 23
Nyan Cat works for all of the following Terminals:
- xterm
- Gnome Terminal
- Konsole
- PuTTY
- Linux framebuffers (software, run as is; hardware terminals use TERM=fallback telnet miku.acm.uiuc.edu)
- iSSH
- ConnectBot
- urxvt
- rxvt
- Terminal.app on 10.7 (10.6 and before, run TERM=ansi telnet miku.acm.uiuc.edu)
- cygwin
- Windows Terminal: (Command Prompt) Run as telnet -t vtnt miku.acm.uiuc.edu
- VT220 with TERM=vt220 telnet miku.acm.uiuc.edu
- Shell in a Box (web terminal) with TERM=linux telnet miku.acm.uiuc.edu
When the mail server is down, you can check out the mirrors which are basically backup servers:
- telnet thefinn93.com
- telnet nyan.howes.net.nz
- telnet baud.org.uk
- telnet ebal.ee 666
This kind of stuff is basically great for pranks and making people laugh. You will definitely get some weird looks if you start doing this on computers in a public area. How funny would it be if you set all of your school's computers to show the Nyan Cat? Unfortunately, there is no sound. Only animations. But nonetheless, it's funny.
Will you be trying this out on your computer or iDevice? Share in the comments below!

This guest post by Myrrh is republished courtesy of Harry's Place.
[I submitted this to The Guardian as a commentary piece on April 4. On April 12 they confirmed that they will not be running it. Both Brian Whitaker, former Middle East Editor and current CiF editor, and Harriet Sherwood, currently the Jerusalem correspondent, have informed me that there are no plans to revisit the Jenin issue or The Guardian's coverage of it ten years ago. The readers' editor also wrote me that he has no plan on revisiting the issue.]
For two full weeks in April of 2002, The Guardian ran wild with lurid tales of an Israeli massacre in the Palestinian city of Jenin on the West Bank — a massacre that never happened. The misrepresentations and outright fabrications have never been properly addressed in the ten ensuing years, as though The Guardian's editors believe nothing more than some hasty reporting and bad sourcing happened. But the reportorial failings were far too systematic to be so dismissed, and until The Guardian conducts a thorough investigation of its own errors and publishes a detailed account to its readers, its integrity on Israel-Palestine will continue to be called into question.
First the facts: On the heels of a thirty-day Palestinian suicide bombing campaign in Israeli cities which included thirteen deadly attacks (imagine thirteen 7/7's in one month), Israel embarked on a military offensive in the West Bank. The fiercest fighting in this offensive occurred in the refugee camp just outside the West Bank town of Jenin, the launching point for 30 Palestinian suicide bombers in the year and half previous (seven were caught before they could blow themselves up; the other 23 succeeded in carrying out their attacks). In this battle, which lasted less than a week, 23 Israeli soldiers were killed as well as 52 Palestinians, of whom at most 14 were civilians (there is some marginal dispute about that last figure).
There was nothing extraordinary in this battle or in these numbers. Looking back, what is extraordinary is that Ariel Sharon's Israel sat through 18 months of Palestinian suicide terror before embarking on even this military offensive. Seamus Milne assured readers on April 10 of the 'futility' of this military response, though with the benefit of hindsight we can clearly see this battle as the turning point in the struggle to end suicide terror on Israel's streets. Milne referred to 'hundreds' killed, 'evidence of atrocities,' and 'state terror.' Not to be outdone, Suzanne Goldenberg reported from Jenin's 'lunar landscape' of 'a silent wasteland, permeated with the stench of rotting corpses and cordite.' She found 'convincing accounts' of summary executions, though let's be honest and concede that it's not generally difficult to convince Goldenberg of Israeli villainy. In the next day's report from Jenin, a frustrated Goldenberg reported that the morgue in Jenin had 'just 16 bodies' after 'only two bodies [were] plucked from the wreckage.' This didn't cause her to doubt for a moment that there were hundreds more buried beneath or to hesitate in reporting from a Palestinian source that bodies may have been transported 'to a special zone in Israel.' Brian Whitaker and Chris McGreal weighed in with their own equally tendentious and equally flawed reporting the following week.

RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Nice guy, I've referred folks to him a lot. He bought the place from the previous couple a few years ago. It's a nice quiet cottage-like room 1/2 block from the Herring River near the mouth and night fishing should be a no-brainer if you get the urge. There's a breakfast place across the street.
For a little more $$, you can split a room along the beach between Herring River mouth and Swan River mouth like Sea Shell motel, which is at the third jetty from the mouth (west). You should be able to spot fish from the room.
Even more $$ is the Red Jacket at the mouth of Parkers' which is a great early season herring run striper spot - but the better fishing is on the Seagull beach side if you ask me (a five minute drive).
Any of the places on 28 in Yarmouth on the west side of Bass River should be offering very competitive rates (Hunter's Green, etc) this time of year.
Don't rule out our cottage, I just can't say I can take people at this point when the family is as anxious as we are to get down the Cape!
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Just talked to the new owner of the Salt Meadow in W. Harwich. He says a room with 2 beds is $50 for the night. TV and mini fridge too.
See the Clave board for contact info.

RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Talked to Greg D (outer limits veteran) today, he may be interested in a day trip, or else split a place? Greg - can you post your plans for Terry when you know them?
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Since we've gone beyond the available free space for lodging I just added some info on cheap Motels and Camping as alternatives. I hope people still think it's worth it to come for the price of a night or 2. I got all the contact numbers and such at:
http://www.stormloader.com/saltcast/SpringRun/SR1.html#Lodging
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Terry -
Very glad to hear Dave is interested!
I'll start puttin on the pressure to get bunks at the family place. Also, I'd be happy to split a room at the Salt Meadow or one of the many affordable places along the rte 28 stretch if it comes to that. Another option is to camp at Nickerson state park a few exits down rte 6, it's a great campground with plenty of trout fishing too.
Looking forward to this event, great job Terry.
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Ran into our friend Dave pritchard at the UFT meeting the other night. Some of you may remember Dave from the Rhody Clave and other boards. Dave is interested in joining our Clave. We have at this point crossed the line into not enough bunks opening up. Someone had a chance of getting a cottage in Marston Mills. Any chance still? I think it may be time to start listing a local motel or 2 in Dennis that may have some off season rates. Anyone want to make some phone calls? 1 or 2 motels to recommend for future Clavers would be a help, I will add them to the site. We need 3 bunks at this point.
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Sounds good. I'll probably head down Friday afternoon (work-load permitting), so I can get the boat down & not have to deal with heavy traffic times. Just started my keel repair; used Marine-Tex epoxey, now have to let set, sand and mail order the keel-strip.
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Hmm... beating the spring crowd over the bridge sounds pretty good! I'll have to see what I can get away with myself.
Looking forward to it!
|Nathan Smith
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
I will be taking Friday off so I will be fishing Thursday night and all day friday as well as the weekend. If anyone is going down early let me know if you would like to get together and do some pre-clave fishing.
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
Thanks for the update Terry.
Right now we have Nate & Jeff G., I'll check with Pete this weekend & see if we can fit in any more.
I plan on gettin to Pocasset mid-day and doing a little fishing before heading over to Dennis, I will try to get everyone into my truck to cut down on traffic.
Brewster would be a great experience. Would that be the right place for mid day?
I'm hitting the salt for the first time Sunday - I hope the weather holds.....
RE:Spring Run Clave Update
With a seemingly early season on the way, the mornings / evenings could be best spent on the bayside enjoying the ebb and exposure of flats near the Brewster herring runs. I volunteer to show a few folks around on that one if people don't mind the fact that winter may have changed the whole face of the area around and it may be a bit early for bayside antics.
The sound side that time of year will be loaded with fish even for mid-day highs. They'll be there but the question is will they turn it on for a mid-day blitz? I have found them sitting in huge pods in deep holes and could only raise them if I put it right into the pod. None would swim for the fly if you missed the edge by 15 feet. Another day they would only hit poppers. You could see them rafting mid-depth and nothing would get them turned on... but if you popped a banger over them they'd hit it every time.
Terry - don't forget the Stage island channel inside the mouth of Bass River on the W.Dennis beach side, it's a great schoolie hang out around the top of the tide. I'd also recommend spreading out to increase the odds, then rendezvous for lunch to report to each other.
Biggest chances for *large* spring fish in that immediate area include mouth of herring river on outgoing, bayside herring holes, Seagull beach / Parkers river mouth, Stage light inlet at 3am - daybreak, and I'll wait on the rest for private discussions
Hopefully I'll provide additional bunks... gotta work out sibling rivalries, et. al. before I commit to it to avoid false promises.
THANKS for all the work Terry!
Spring Run Clave Update
Well we're 1 month out and things are getting rolling, so I figured it's time to get some items out to the debating society.
1. The 2 camps we have going so far are organizing off line with their assigned guests as far as food planning, bedding etc. That's going well and everyone is offering to help.
2.  We are currently short 1 bunk, we've just added the fabulous Estey's brothers and could use
another bunk. Due to a cancellation, there is one left in Pocasset, but would be nice to keep the 2
brothers under one roof. Ideas?
3. I've checked with the Town Hall and Police of Dennis and found W. Dennis Beach to be open
round the clock. I propose we make this the Anchor Location for Clave gatherings. We can fish the
Jetty there, the beach is productive before sunrise, and boats from my place can come down river
and hook up with shore bounders if they want to get out on a boat. Then we can fan out from there.
4. Day 2: we could plan out Sunday's fishing at dinner Sat. night. based on our results. A north side trip would be nice, Barnstable Harbor, Sesuit etc.
5. As stated before I need to try and keep the traffic down at my cottage. As of now I'm looking at a
1/2 dozen cars and up to 4 boats/trailers. Carpooling would help. I will avoid a big gathering there.
That's what Sat. night is for at Clancys. Low tide sat. night is 9:00 so 7-8 pm is a good time to hook
up and eat drink and be merry.
6. I'm going down midday friday. Not sure who is going to get there when friday night. I will check
with my crew to see who get's there when. I doubt everyone will be there for dinner.
That leaves dinner Sat. night which we're eating out. So figure from there.
7. TIDES: high tides will be
 2:14am and 2:52pm on Sat.
3:03am and 3:44pm on Sun.
With these mid afternoon tides first light will offer limited fishing being 3 hours on the outgoing. A
4:00 am trip to W. Dennis beach could be productive. Yo Juro how are the Herring and Swan
Rivers 2-3 hours below high tide at first light? How about the Red River in E. Harwich Chatham?
Should we sleep in and concentrate on the mid afternoon high tides with maybe a night trip for the
early Sunday A.M. tide? I intend to fish the Sunday 3:44pm high as the last hoorah before leaving.
I'm not a guide and don't play one on T.V. I can show you my few productive schoolie spots but we
need to draw on our collective wisdom to get a good fishing plan. And of course compare notes Sat.
Night to plan Sunday. I may even stay over till monday just to rest before driving home.
Well lets hear it gang.

By Dimitra DeFotis
Short seller Jim Chanos, of Kynikos Associates in New York, just proposed a concise case for selling two big disk drive makers at today's Ira Sohn Conference.
Introduced by Barron's Roundtable member and investor Meryl Whitmer, his thesis: "The Mobile Computing Revolution: Collateral Damage in Hard Disk Drives."
Chanos says the PC Sales have just begun to decline.
Essentially, we are at the tip of an iceberg, and no one sees some obvious signs of weakness after years of outperformance. There is much more efficiency in working mobile than ever before. And hard disk drives are connected to the PC business. Following 2011 floods in Thailand, people saw growth in the disk business and thought things were not so bad. But Chanos says the hard disk drive story is a value story – Western Digital (WDC) and Seagate Technology (STX) look cheap, trading at only 5 to 6 times earnings. But stocks are near highs, they have outperformed Dell (DELL) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), there are some accounting issues, and insiders are getting out.
Average selling prices for disk drive makers, which spiked up after Thailand floods, are going to move lower and so will margins, Chanos says.
"The pricing they have received is becoming a larger part of PC costs." Disk drives have moved up to 10% from 8% of PC ASPs, which is problematic for PC makers operating on razor thin margins.
Chanos said if he had to pick one, it would be Seagate. But in general, Chanos expects disk drive companies' margins to revert to 5% to 10% margins, and Chanos says that could happen "sooner rather than later."
Western Digital shares are down $1.30, or 2.2%, at $57.71, in late trading, while Seagate stock is off $1.52, or 3.6%, at $40.80.

La Cordo D'Oro ~primo passo~ In my opinion as an otaku; it was decent considering the pint-sized budgets most anime have. Its animation and sound choice were withstandable me being one for very high quality animation and catchy tunes. As an anime, its an overall ok. On the other hand, as my opinion as a musician; It was horrible. I'll just be gracious and save my amuture musician rant for the end if any other musicians would like to know. STORY Honestly in my opinion, they could have made the story more developed. It's the classic reverse harem plot: She goes to a new school, she falls in love... See full review
OVERVIEW Pani Poni Dash is the most WTF OMG ROFL LOL LMFAO anime I have EVER SEEN! Pani Poni Dash clearly shows that random has no limits. PLOT Although the anime is hilarious, its plotline could use some spice-up. A liitle girl becoming a teacher seemed pretty dull to me (Don't yell at me my opinion!!). But ya kow, keep in mind that I wrote this review when I was on the second episode. CHARACTERS The characters are totally AWESOME. Completly uniqe and crazy with odd *bi-polar moods.

Flavors of ginger and soy sauce blend during slow cooking to make a delicious beef dinner.
Use any combo of bell peppers for added color.
This slow cooker version has the same pretty color as a stir-fry Pepper Steak. Stirring in the tomatoes at the end helps keep their shape and texture.
Garlic and gingerroot can be purchased chopped in jars. Use 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic when a recipe calls for a clove of garlic. Store jarred garlic and gingerroot in the refrigerator.
Reduced-sodium soy sauce can be used to trim the sodium.
