Bob was looking for a dead horse to work out his frustration and decided to revive this instead.
Not a dead horse if it gets Osama removed from the White House now is it?
Bob Gutermuth

1. The Courts have proven themselves reluctant to go into political areas. The Bush v. Gore series simply proves the point at how much a no-win situation this is. The citizens have voted and the votes have been counted...and the Court is now going to overturn that outcome? I don't see the Courts now stepping in.
2. If the Courts were so inclined to act, they are in a bit of a pickle as there's no remedy that is specified. He's been sworn in. Outside of an impeachment and trial, there's no removal process.
3. If he were to be removed, President Joe Biden?
In short, the only way I see that this approach wins, is if it is brought up and resolved before the election and inauguration.
No President in history has ever demonstrated his citizenship so clearly. Personally, I feel that any further challengers should first be compelled to submit proof of their own citizenship in accordance with the same standards they seek from Obama and then should have to pay all costs (court, attorney costs, etc.) associated with responding to their complaints. At this stage further litigation is a frivolous abuse of the courts at taxpayer expense.
I think there's a better chance of convincing folks that the world is older than 6000 years, than Obama is a duly elected citizen of the U.S.! Is it any wonder only 23% of Americans admit to being a republican, when this is the type of publicity they get??
For those poised to jump on my comments...I used to be a staunch conservative republican. But when I see the Jerry Springer type candidates from Alaska, challenges to our duly elected president being born in the US, and denial of the existence of global warming (despite the scientists originally denying it now totally recanting and admitting that not only is it real, and man-made, but much worse than originally believed) its no wonder people who have their eyes and ears open have had enough!
I've seen this whole economic mess blamed on Clinton trying to put low to middle class people in homes. You know, when I look around, I see middle to upper class homes constituting the bulk of foreclosures! I saw on Fox news, a couple (teacher and ambulance driver) with a combined income of 120k, CRYING because their $600,000 home was being foreclosed on. (arm adjust up, can't afford mort. payments) TOUGH SH**!!!
We gotta look at ourselves, and quit blaming the lower class for all our problems. Every low-income home in my town combined would not equal the damage the one big one on the hill caused when it foreclosed.
You can bash "Obongo", and every other dem in the world...but you can't deny the numbers. 23%. I'm done with either major party, but if I still called myself a republican, I'd spend more time fixing my problems, than throwing stones at the party that just stole 8 long-time red states from me!
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
Marvin S
Everyone's friend is No One's friend
Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
dnf777... I couldn't agree more... Maybe that Jerry Springer acting gal from Alaska can learn a few things from Obongo. Lose some class, become a community organizer, hang with the likes of Ayers and the Chi-town crowd etc.etc.
I look at both partys and what has been done since this administration took over the mess that they have inherited. In my uneducated opinion the situation has gone from bad to worse with tons more spending and goverment control (loss of freedom) on the way.

Prep Mania Team of the Month: Oregon girls basketball
Oregon hosts Shoot for a Cure Jan. 18
Oregon, WI. - The Oregon High School girls basketball team hosts Madison Edgewood next Friday, and it's going to be a special night the Panthers have been working toward all season.
The team is hoping for a big victory on and off the court.
Hard work goes beyond the court for the Oregon girls basketball team. Oregon basketball mom Teresa Peach is organizing the program's breast cancer awareness night, Shoot for a Cure, at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 18 when Oregon hosts Madison Edgewood.
"They also know there is a lot more -- like their character and what they do off the court," Peach said.
All of the proceeds from Shoot for a Cure go to the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center.
"Lots of the girls who participate in basketball in some way, shape or form have been impacted by breast cancer, and that is why I think there is a lot of excitement and people asking, 'How can we help?'" Peach said.
It's not just the varsity girls contributing to the effort; more than 200 girls are selling T-shirts, reaching out to local businesses to get sponsorships and doing mini fundraisers.
"My grandma had breast cancer, so I'm just trying to help the community and help support the cause," said Oregon senior Sidney Peach.
Last year, they raised $3,500, and this year the goal is $10,000. All the money raised will stay in the area.
"Keeping it local and making sure we can make a difference for the people we live and work around is really important to everyone," Teresa Peach said.18089794
"Sometimes during the season everyone is so concerned about wins and losses and get caught up in that and don't realize we that we are fortunate we are able to play the game we do and we can take from it other things than wins and losses," said head coach Les Luehring.
"Talking basketball is something, but talking about helping our community and doing this and getting involved that way is something totally different. And that brings us closer together, because you can be a family on the basketball court but you can also be a family off the court," said senior Maranda Ricker.
Those who would like to help can attend the basketball game at Oregon on Jan. 18 or go to the UW Carbone Cancer Center's website at www.uwhealth.org/cancer.

9 works found
flyblown was first shown at Gallery Gabrielle Pizzi in Melbourne in November 1998 and closely echoed the imagery in the film Empire, which was shot at the same time. During its showing Riley met with musicians Paul Kelly and Kev Carmody, who were in the early stages of writing the music for Rachel Perkins' film One night the moon. The initial intention had been for Riley to also work on the film, but by that stage he was already constrained by the weekly dialysis in Sydney that his illness required.
In 1999 Gabrielle Pizzi curated an exhibition by Indigenous photo-media artists for the al latere section of the 48th Venice Biennale, which included a selection from flyblown. Oltre il mito [Beyond myth] was shown in the beautiful giardini of the Palazzo Papadopoli, on the Grand Canal, and the artists' works were displayed in the gardens during the day and projected on the palazzo wall at night. This looked incredibly cinematic when viewed from passing vaporetti [water buses] or from the other side of the canal.
The images in the series flyblown reflect the ways in which the problems of colonialism persist in our contemporary landscapes. The evidence of failure is not just in the burial sites of massacres, or even in the ongoing ecological damage, but rather that we still have no answers to the questions of how can we all live together in this place. Our presence in this place has consequences. The images in flyblown can evoke feelings of the uncanny nature of the Australian sun and heat. The flameless summer light can become an all-consuming yellow. At night the only witness is the distant but ever-present cicada, whose restless chorus offers little redemption.
This installation involves five panels, each composed of pairs of images that conjure up the gaping extremes of the Australian landscape. A dead galah on a dusty and cracked track; boundless skies with murky waters; hybrid wheat fields rustling in the wind; blood red, grey and blue crosses dominating the foregrounds; and a Bible floating, as if in the position of a dead man, on a shallow riverbed – these haunting images arrest all sense of time. The landscape hovers somewhere between life and death. The story of colonisation is being told from a different perspective in these panels. They have the elegiac qualities that inspire a sense of reflection and humility that is common in much religious iconography. This calm note of destruction is the opposite of the alarmed shrill of protest, but the resonance is more reaching. These gentle and somber images can have a haunted quality.
The still images Riley created spoke to his films. This can most clearly be seen in the photographic series flyblown and cloud, and their reflection in the sumptuous experimental film Empire. Quest for country is a further meditation on the abuse of settler culture on the environment.
Riley's earlier photographic essays, Sacrifice (1993) and the evocative short film Empire (1997), deal with the broad but brutal issues of the 'black armband' – true facts – of Australian history. This is the history of a colonialism beginning with cursory sightings, then violent exchanges, wars and massacres, followed by the saving and assimilation of the Aboriginal survivors by Christian missionaries. Presented here is the history of 'clearing the land', to wipe clean and rewrite; of Aboriginal people being murdered or forced from the land and onto missions and reserves; the gun or the crucifix; crosses, prayers, stigmata, dark fishes, Bibles, water, cracked earth; the death of the environment in Christian overtones; and biblical plagues – drought, locusts – a poisoning of the water. As rural industry takes over the physical land, Christian missionary zeal takes the soul of the people.
In the duplicitous photographic constructions of Sacrifice, and later in the series flyblown (1998), its partner film Empire (1997) and finally cloud, Riley continually returns to thereligious imagery of the crucifix and the Bible, coupled with natural elements of the sky, water and earth. In an attempt to resolve the irresolvable, Riley was a pragmatist, interrogating the iconic image. His method is based on distilling the arsenal of signs imposed on and by Aboriginal people, which originated from religious and social-political orders of the day.

Every bite of beef is moist, tender and rich in herb flavors. Fresh herbs and a bacon wrap are the secrets for success.
Use thin or regular slices of bacon instead of the thick-sliced variety so the bacon cooks in the time the roast cooks.
The roast can be coated with the herb mixture and covered with the bacon several hours ahead of time; cover and refrigerate. Add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Garnish the roast with fresh herbs and crab apples.

Corolla donations to be used for training
More than $400,000 worth of Toyota Corollas were donated by Toyota Motor Manufacturing Mississippi today to area Toyota car donations 1emergency management agencies and community colleges.
The 29 vehicles – which were used by Toyota employees for their own training purposes – will be used for several purposes. For example, fire departments will practice extrication efforts, community colleges will use them for their automotive technology programs.
Phil Rodi, vice president of manufacturing at TMMMS, said the donation was part of a nationwide program the Japanese automaker has in which it donates vehicles from its other plants for similar purposes.
The vehicles are drivable, but aren't certified to go on roads.
"These cars have been used for training for our team members," he said. "We build, rebuild. … it's a lot of repetition and skills training. We're also training for inspection. We have a lot of people who have never built a car before, so this is valuable training."
Brad Crowder, director of the automotive technology program at Itawamba Community College, said his department will receive seven Toyota Corollas, recently produced at the Blue Spring manufacturing facility.
The cars will be used to train students on the latest in automotive technology. which is only available on late model cars.
"The 2011 (models) will really help with diagnostic training for students," Crowder said.

Not easy
The Canadiens and Islanders battled through 61 minutes and 50 seconds of scoreless hockey.
Then some determination – he was knocked down twice on the sequence – and clever playmaking by David Desharnais set the table for Max Pacioretty's 12th goal – and fourth game-winner – of the season.
Carey Price made 21 saves for his second shutout of the season and 21st of his career.
Evegni Nabokov stopped 24 of 25.
Max wins it
Just under two minutes into overtime, Max Pacioretty converts a pass by David Desharnais for the game's only goal.
Islanders goaltender Evgeni Nabokov had to be sharp on Tomas Plekanec, Andrei Markov and Lars Eller.
Shots were 6-5 Canadiens, 23-21 on the game.
The Islanders blew a 4-on-1.
Each team blew power-play chances.
Islanders had a 7-6 shot advantage.
Not a classic so far
Two minutes into the game, George Parros and Islanders' enforcer Eric Boulton dropped 'em in an absurd fight that ended with the refs ordering to Parros to the Canadiens' quiet room after he was KOed.
The game he left behind was equally quiet.
The Canadiens had an 11-9 shot advantage, but the closest thing to a goal was John Tavares hitting the post to Carey Price's left.
It can only get better.
Bounce-back game?
The Canadiens have lost more than two in a row only once this season: the beginning of October, when they dropped games to Minnesota, Colorado, St. Louis and Ottawa.
The loss to the Blues was a Bell Centre Shootout. The Canadiens have not lost three straight in regulation ... to date.
The Islanders are 19 points behind the Canadiens in the Eastern Conference standings. They are coming off a dismal road trip in which they lost four of five to Western Conference opponents (and scored an improbable Shootout win in San Jose).
The home team is 1-7-2 in its last 10. The Islanders are seemingly ripe for the plucking by a Canadiens team trying to get back on the winning track.
Sometimes, however, the plucker becomes the pluckee.
We'll see.

Senate to vote on $1.1 trillion spending bill
Senate Democrats overcame a Republican filibuster to clear the way for a vote Sunday on a huge end-of-year $1.1 trillion spending bill that gives budget increases far exceeding inflation to much of the government.
This guy says it best...
Republicans who fought the bill said it provides too much money at a time when the government is running astronomical deficits. "Obviously we need to run the government, but do you suppose the government could be a little bit like families and be just a little bit prudent in how much it spends?" said Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
Before you say it, I know Bush spent a lot. However, back in kindergarten, I learned that two wrongs don't make a right.

Richard Lloyd: 'Scuse Me While I Hit This Guy
Originally published in Guitar World, December 2009
In 1969, Jimi Hendrix slugged Richard Lloyd. Forty years after, Lloyd punches back with a hard-hitting tribute album to Mr. Purple Haze himself. Writer Charles M. Young traces the television cofounder's connection—and devotion—to the world's most legendary guitarist.
Somewhere around Black River Falls on I-94, Richard Lloyd pulled a large yellow onion out of his shoulder bag and started eating it like an apple.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I said.
"This is going to cure my laryngitis," Richard said, spraying little bits of onion into the air through the gaps in his teeth. Onion juice dribbled down his chin.
"No, it isn't," I said. "The doctor told you the only thing that would help your voice was not talking."
"Onions are anti-viral," Richard said, continuing to munch and spray. The four of us—me, Richard, drummer Billy Ficca and bassist Keith Hartel—were riding in a Honda compact SUV. Even with the clubs furnishing the "backline" (bass amp and most of the drum kit), the car was dangerously overloaded, with two Stratocasters, two Precision basses, an ancient Supro Thunderbolt amplifier, Billy's snare and cymbals and kick-drum pedal, all our bags, souvenirs that Richard bought in every truck stop, half-consumed bottles of prescription and nonprescription medicine that Richard bought in every drug store, half-consumed bottles of herbal elixirs that Richard bought in every New Age emporium, and a boggling array of books on occult weirdness, brain science and the sexual habits of tribal peoples around the world. So shit was piled up to the ceiling in back, shit was piled up to the shoulder in the backseat between me and Billy, and shit was piled up to the elbow in the front seat between Keith, who was driving, and Richard, who was being Richard, in the shotgun seat.
"I have a virus," Richard continued, as he turned 180 degrees and rested his chin on the top of his seat, fixing his unwavering eyes on mine, which were about 20 inches away. "It has nothing to do with talking. I had four years of medical school, so I know."
I briefly considered yelling at him, as I had considered yelling at him many times during our tour of small clubs that had taken us down the East Coast, across the South and up the Midwest. It had already been a really long day, with Richard waking up at 6:00 a.m., after a late show in Minneapolis, and demanding medical treatment for his throat, which was ravaged both by singing every night and by his habit of talking relentlessly for 18 to 20 hours every day. So I—the embedded journalist and T-shirt seller and designated babysitter—took him over to the Hennepin County Medical Center, where we spent five hours dealing with security guards, clerks, aides, nurses and doctors, all of whom heard Richard insist that he needed a shot of cortisone in his vocal cords and they couldn't fool with him because he had four years of medical school, which any moron could tell he didn't. I was hoping that someone would notice he was barking mad and put him in a rubber room for a month so he could get his meds adjusted. Instead we got a prescription for lozenges, which Richard threw in the doctor's face. I then began hoping that someone other than me would beat the crap out of him and put him back in the hospital. Indeed, Richard was so irritating as he tried to convince people to stare at the sun with him on the sidewalk outside the hospital that a couple of guys began to square off with unmistakable violence in their eyes. But it didn't quite happen. And we drove down I-94, where I decided to respond to the onion in the manner of Billy and Keith and just stare out the window with a clenched jaw and watering eyes.

The Alibi's fifth annual Photo Contest
By Amy Dalness
New Mexico has two mottos: one found on license plates and another uttered by natives, as much in jest as in seriousness. Both were proven by the photographers who submitted to our fifth annual Photo Contest—we live in an enchanting state that moves at the speed of mañana.
With less than two weeks until the deadline, the bin labeled "Photo Contest Entries" sat at the edge of my desk with few envelopes within its walls. Never fear, I assured my fellow judging panel, more will come. Days later, the contents of the bin neared capacity and my e-mail inbox filled. Scenes of New Mexico sunsets, Bosque fall, frozen rivers and South Valley smiles came flowing in with minutes to spare from Flicker groups, high school photography students, pocket camera-carrying street travelers and graphic artists seeking recognition. From hundreds of entries, we painstakingly narrowed it down to those you see on these pages. Very painstakingly.
Many thanks to Nick Brown, Christie Chisholm, Marisa Demarco, Molly Lindsay, Simon McCormack, Tom Nayder, Devin D. O'Leary, Jeff Drew and Jesse Schulz for participating in the selection process. Also, thanks to our sponsors for donating prizes for the winners: Bookworks (4022 Rio Grande NW, 344-8139), the Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE, 255-1848), Hinkle Family Fun Center (12931 Indian School NE, 299-3100), Outpost Productions (210 Yale SE, 268-0044) and the Calico Café (6855 Fourth Street NW, 890-9150).
Congrats to the winners and honorable mentions, and to all who entered for making the competition so tough. This year's entries were, by far, the most impressive we've seen yet. Winning photographers may pick up their prizes at the front desk of the Alibi offices (413 Central NW) any time from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, or call 346-0660 ext. 255 to arrange other plans.

Spleen removal (splenectomy) is surgery to remove a diseased or damaged spleen. This organ is in the upper part of your belly, on the left side underneath the rib cage.
The spleen helps your body fight germs and infections. It also helps filter your blood.
Splenectomy; Laparoscopic splenectomy; Spleen removal - laparoscopic
The spleen is removed while you are under general anesthesia (asleep and pain-free). Your surgeon may do either an open splenectomy or a laparoscopic splenectomy.
In an open spleen removal:
For laparoscopic spleen removal:
Some conditions that may require spleen removal are:
Risks for any surgery are:
The risks or problems that may occur during or soon after this surgery are:
Risks are the same for both open and laparoscopic spleen removal.
You will have many visits with your doctor and several tests before you have surgery. Some of these are:
If you smoke, you should stop several weeks before this surgery. Spleen removal is major surgery, and smoking will increase your risks of problems.
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the week before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
You or your child will spend less than a week in the hospital. Your hospital stay may be only 1 or 2 days after a laparoscopic splenectomy. You should heal in 4 to 6 weeks.
The outcome of this surgery varies depending on what disease or injuries you have. People who do not have other severe injuries or medical problems usually recover after this surgery.
After your spleen is removed, you are more likely to develop infections. Talk with your doctor about getting needed vaccinations. Children especially may need to take antibiotic drugs to prevent infections. Most adults do not need antibiotics long-term.
Everyone who has had a splenectomy will need to get a flu vaccine every year.

The sky at the South Pole is often monochrome. We see a lot of solid light gray or white skies and we see a lot of solid blue skies.

I found a deer in my IHOP.
This is not a joke. It's been making a quick national news anecdote.
Walking distance down the street from me, there's an IHOP - right by the Islands Burgers where a friend or two from this website have eaten with me when you've visited San Diego.
A deer (like Bambi or Rudolph) crashed through the window of the restaurant and raided the kitchen. Then the manager opened the emergency exit door and the deer bolted out of the restaurant.
There are berries and nuts available on their pankakes. There was no doubt this is why the Bambi Bandit hit the place.
San Diego police are now looking for a brown person with white spots, walking on all fours, with a cotton tail, black nose, and big ears.
I am waiting for the ACLU to file charges over the racial profiling of the suspect in this crime.
Charges include breaking-and-entering, exhibitionism or appearing in public without clothing on, destruction of private property, theft of food products, and pointing sharp weapons that could be used to injure the other customers. The deer did not pay for it's meal and in fact didn't even give a crap.
But that's what I found in my IHOP. I think you can probably YouTube the video. I didn't shoot it. I wasn't armed at the time.

Complement C3 is a blood test that measures the activity of a certain protein that is part of the complement system. The complement system is a group of proteins that move freely through your bloodstream. The proteins work with your immune system and play a role in the development of inflammation.
There are nine major complement proteins. They are labeled C1 through C9. This test measures C3.
Blood is drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand. The site is cleaned with germ-killing medicine (antiseptic). The health care provider wraps an elastic band around the upper arm to apply pressure to the area and make the vein swell with blood.
Next, the health care provider gently inserts a needle into the vein. The blood collects into an airtight vial or tube attached to the needle. The elastic band is removed from your arm.
Once the blood has been collected, the needle is removed, and the puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin and make it bleed. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
There is no special preparation needed.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
C3 and C4 are the most commonly measured complement components.
A complement test may be used to monitor patients with an
Complement activity varies throughout the body. For example, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, complement activity in the blood may be normal or higher-than-normal, but much lower-than-normal in the joint fluid.
Additional conditions under which the test may be performed:
The normal range is 75-135 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter).
Note: Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Increased complement activity may be seen in:
Decreased complement activity may be seen in:
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
The "complement cascade" is a series of reactions that take place in the blood. The cascade activates the complement proteins. The result is an attack unit that creates holes in the membrane of bacteria, killing them. C3 attaches to and kills bacteria directly.

By Lena Mitchell/NEMS Daily Journal
RIPLEY – Fans of Ripley High School football saw the Ripley High School marching band performance develop and evolve at halftime performances throughout the season as they went on to earn the 2012 MHSAA-MBA State Marching Band Grand Championship in October.
The Ripley High School Symphonic Band then was chosen to perform at the Mississippi Bandmasters Association 75th State Band Clinic in Natchez in December, an honor conferred on only one band in the state each year.
What the fans don't realize in a single season is the growth of individual band members from year to year as they work to become accomplished musicians, said band director Sam Cunningham.
Cunningham returned after the Christmas break to learn of another honor. He has been selected as Teacher of the Year for the South Tippah School District.
"I am extremely honored to be picked as the school district's Teacher of the Year," Cunningham said. "There are so many deserving teachers in our district. I am humbled and thankful for this honor."
From sixth grade onward every student at Ripley Middle School has an opportunity to find the right instrument, learn music basics and develop their music talents, continuing through high school.
"Beginning in the sixth grade and through junior high school they are learning to read music," Cunningham said. "No prior knowledge of music is required, and by the end of the eighth grade they can handle marching and playing."
Each step in the process lays the foundation for the next level, so students must stay committed to reap all the rewards, both individually and collectively.
Assistant directors Tammye Hight and Tim Jackson work with Cunningham to bring a standard of excellence to the entire program. They enjoy strong support and backing from school district administration as well as band parents and boosters.
"We have probably 40 students in Mississippi colleges on band scholarships now," Cunningham said. "Last year we had 22 band seniors and 17 of them are on band scholarships now. Our school board believes in it and has given the support the program needs to develop and thrive."
Administrative support is apparent in the structure of the school schedule which aligns band periods with study halls for students who are not band participants.
Students also recognize the value of the band program, with about 325 students from sixth grade through high school participating in band, and a high school band of 140 members.
"We're the first or second largest band in the state in Class 3A," Cunningham said.
The end of the year brought the marching season to a close, and recently students auditioned for a place in the two groups that compete in the spring – the symphonic band and the concert band. Students who wanted a place didn't get to rest over their holiday break, but instead were given music to learn for the auditions.
"At the end of February they'll perform in Ridgeland at the state band evaluation for ratings, so from now until then we'll be preparing," Cunningham said. "After that they'll be reading through music and method books to elevate their playing level. Toward the end of the semester it's back to marching band music for next year."

Next, local sponsor Pepsi had been haranguing the population of Nha Trang with radio advertisements for the scheduled inshore race in front of the beach. It was Tet – the Lunar New Year holiday - and it looked as if the entire population of the town had turned out to watch. Some said there were 30,000 people on the beach, but crowd estimation is an imprecise science, so who knows? There were a lot of people, that's for sure! There was a live radio link from the Committee Boat to the shore where a commentary in Vietnamese was broadcast to the multitude, as one spectator put it, 'sounding for all the world like an over-excited horse race.'
It was a truly wonderful event, and those of who made that first memorable trip to Nha Trang could hardly wait to do it again. But events conspired against, and the next Hong Kong Vietnam Race was a full eight years later, in 2004, the offshore race at the end of the RHKYC's no 1 event of the year, the China Coast Regatta. That time, Grant Wharington strolled into town with Skandia Wild Thing, and then cruised off to Vietnam in a mere 42h 45m 41s, a course record that has yet to be beaten.
2006 and 2008 races followed suit, and the race was rapidly attracting not only a loyal following, but also some overseas interest. The 2010 start was delayed by a year when Super Typhoon Megi threatened to cross the race track, but all systems were 'go' once more for a re-start in 2011 which involved Ludde Ingvall's 90' Maxi Audi Ultra up from Singapore for a crack at the record (she missed it by just under an hour when the wind shut off at the finish), accompanied by Jono Mahoney's Zanzibar, and Tim Wilson's graciously classic El Oro.
Now it's 2013, and the provisional entry list is promising a bigger and more international fleet than ever before. Local boats who just can't stay away from this race include Sam Chan's FreeFire. 'We have unfinished business – a damaged mast in 2008 and a broken rudder stock in 2011 mean we haven't had any good finishes lately'. The Burns/Kinmonth combo EFG Bank Mandrake (King 40) is back for another go, and is joined by Keith Jacobs' Ker 40 Signal 8. At the moment Redeye (J/145-C, Wayne Thompson) and Sea Monkey (Sense 50, Emmanuel Pitsilis) and Raphael Blot's straight-out-of-the-box superlight superfast MC60 catamaran make up the local contingent.
Already in Hong Kong and waiting to get going (3 months early, they must be keen!) are Steve Manning's GTS43 Walawala 2 and David Ross's Ker 40 KukuKERchu – looking for a derby match with Signal 8, no doubt.
There's yet another Ker 40, Connel McLaren's Icebreaker, based in New Zealand, and heading to Hong Kong for the sprint to Vietnam, and fresh from winning the 2012 NZ IRC Champs. Add in a bigger Ker design, Jens Kellinghusen's 51-footer from Germany, and it's starting to look as if there needs to be a Ker division!
As soon as the Transpac is over, Giovanni Soldini's VO70, Maserati, is expected to continue on across the Pacific to Hong Kong. That shouldn't take too long! After setting a new Golden Route monohull record (New York-San Francisco, 13,225nm) of just over 47d at the end of last year, the trip from Honolulu will be a stroll and the race to Nha Trang will barely be a trip to the corner shop. And Syd Fischer's Dubois 90, Genuine Risk is in the list too. Now renamed Ragamuffin 90, she is no stranger to Asian waters having walked away with Line Honours in last year's Rolex China Sea Race. Since then she has been back to Australia for a major refit, and will be setting out for the return journey to Hong Kong in September.
Bryon Ehrhart's TP52 Lucky won IRC Overall in the 2010 Rolex Middle Sea Race. After the Middle Sea he said, 'Stromboli, spewing smoke and lava – you don't see that in Chicago. This race is a classic.' Soon Lucky will be heading for Hong Kong and another race destined to come a classic, the Hong Kong-Vietnam Race. You don't see many fishermen in basket-weave coracles in Chicago, either - but you do in Nha Trang!
Ray Roberts needs no introduction to sailors on the Asia circuit. Ulumulu, Hollywood Boulevard, and various versions of Evolution, and victories in practically all the Asian majors. Roberts' latest steed is the TP52 One Sail, formerly Island Fling, and now on its way to Hong Kong from Kota Kinabalu after winning the Borneo International Yachting Challenge.
There are a couple of other 'maybe' boats in the list – no doubt RHKYC would welcome another visit from Audi Ultra – and there are reports of a new-build 42-footer for a yet to be disclosed Hong Kong owner and a Perth based hot 36-footer in the starting blocks, but they are not firm entries as yet.
What all this is saying is that the Hong Kong-Vietnam Race 2013 is lining up to launch with a 17-boat fleet on the start line on 17 October. As big an entry as the race has ever seen, and with more international visitors than ever before – indeed, with more international visitors than anyone can remember for any blue water race out of Hong Kong, ever.
Anyone who hasn't participated in this race is missing out. What other event in the calendar offers over 600nm under spinnaker, with breeze consistently over 20kts? And when the boats arrive at the other end the finish location of Nha Trang is family friendly, and a popular tourist destination in its own right. It also offers a great revictualling point for boats intending to continue on to other seasonal sailing events in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia. So, China Coast Regatta - Vietnam – Raja Muda – Phuket King's Cup… you know it makes sense!

I've only recently noticed something rather useful for me:
viper-mode's support for the ex command set, implemented in the
viper-ex package as a part of the Viper vi-emulation package, is mostly orthogonal to the rest of Viper, meaning the Viper implementation of ex can be used without activating Viper mode. Hence you can bind the
viper-ex function to a key in any Emacs mode and use commands like
.,$s/wrong/right/g there. It is quite straightforward to use this to support vi-like macros, which are sometimes quite a bit briefer than their Elisp equivalents.
To get started, you need to import the
viper-ex package, which defines the
viper-ex interactive command, and which has some dependencies on the rest of Viper, ones which could be pruned without much difficulty. The ex commands are more pleasant with line numbering. The following Elisp will configure this, with
viper-ex bound to C-:
(require 'viper-ex)
(require 'viper-keym)
(require 'viper-cmd)
(require 'linum)
(define-key global-map (kbd "C-:") 'viper-ex)
Note that several modes, like Org-mode, clobber C-: and so would need their maps redefined to use this.
Advogato's new libxml2-based text handler
This is new, I think. It seems to have fewer glitches than the old code, so kudos to StevenRainwater for getting this done.

Majors: Government and History
Year of Graduation: 1974
Graduate School: Master's, Museum Sciences
Current Job: Museum curator/technician/specialist, National Park Service, MA
Dave can be contacted at [email protected] if you have questions for him.
Describe your duties
I am a museum curator/technician/specialist. I am a chief cultural resource for the National Maritime Historic site, so I contribute to everything related to historic structures, the campus historic works at the Salem Harbor, historic landscapes, and along with that, I oversee the exhibit program at the park. I have been with the Park Service for 28 years.
What makes you look forward to coming to work each day?
With all my assorted duties, I still like dealing with the artifacts - fabricating exhibits, dealing with historic structures, writing copy for the exhibits, and so on. That's the creative stuff. I don't get to do that enough because now I do a lot of administrative work pushing papers. But my first Harbors Ferry Center Exhibit production, where I fabricated exhibits, was a really fun job. We have historic structures dating as early as 1675 (the Narbonne House). Dealing with those buildings, trying to take care of them is good fun.
What has been your favorite job thus far? Why?
Three projects really stand out to me. First, eight years ago I overhauled a warehouse exhibit that I really liked. I wanted to show the range of goods that came into Salem in the 1820s, part luxury goods, and it just came together nicely. We did the research, obtained a good exhibit fabricator, and I was the planner. We put it together so it did not affect the historic structure in any way. It was either connected to itself or gravity did its work. It was a very smooth walk through. Second, we now have a dedicated, secure, environmentally-controlled storage space. It was a three-year project that entailed planning and construction but it was worth the wait. The planning really paid off so that we got exactly what we needed. By contrast, many parks still have inadequate storage and it causes all sorts of problems. We had to get the funding and get the studies and research done. And the third one, still in the study stages, is a chimney project. We're doing three buildings. The project involves trying to figure out what is wrong with some leaking chimneys in the exhibit; how to fix this is an interesting challenge. We have historic architects as well as masons involved so far.
What personal qualities are most important in your field?
You need patience and good humor. The park service is under budget constraints that are really affecting our operations. We don't like to see resources go down the drain and sometimes that's difficult with lack of staff and money. Some things get left behind.
What led you to your current job?
After SJU (with History and Government majors), I know I did not want to go to law school and thought "What am I going to do now?" One day, I walked by the Quad bulletin board and there was a flyer for a museum studies program that only accepted half a dozen people a year, but the light went on. I thought "I could work in a museum." I had an internship with the park service (after graduate school) and off I went. I worked for the National Park Service temporarily until they hired me for a permanent position after a year or two.
What advice would you give to students thinking about this/how can they prepare for this?
It's not often that you fall in your chosen profession. I got a master's degree in museum science. It's very difficult to get into the park service, and back in the '80s it was extremely difficult to get a museum job because there weren't many. "Collections" was a perfect opportunity. Try to get an internship if you can.
Where are some other places to look for jobs?
There's a website at https://www.usajobs.gov/ that lists almost all current federal jobs available (at the time we spoke, the count was 20,902). A lot of states also have some sort of non-profit museum consortium clearinghouse, or they have museum advocates that put out newsletters and have museum websites. Now it is done on the web. A number of universities have museum studies.

Spring is in the air, despite its being only a February tease. It makes me think about my yard and garden, but also about those well-meant spring trips taken by so many young people.
It's easy to understand why energetic, adventure-seeking young folks want to get away from Mom and Dad, and see a bit of life.
I completely get that.
But it's extremely difficult to understand why apparently mature parents have so few qualms about allowing these energetic, adventure-seeking young folks to go perhaps hundreds – yea, thousands – of miles from home without chaperones.
Imagine the awful grief suffered by so many parents recently, if they had children on that ill-fated Carnival cruiseliner.
It's almost mind-numbing to calculate the fear that must have been felt by almost everyone as they marked five days on that massive ship without any power against the oceanic elements.
It hasn't been that long ago that Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway embarked on a grand Caribbean adventure with her high school classmates.
Her parents are still looking for her body, although most likely the sea has claimed her.
That trip was without chaperones or barely with chaperones.
I'd suggest that with the addition of responsible adults, Natalee would have finished college by now and be among the many launching their adult lives.
Bless them, my poor kids will tell you they rarely went anywhere without me or someone I trusted.
We went a lot of places, and I'm sure there were moments where one or both of them wished I were somewhere else.
But that was a non-starter. I wasn't going to be somewhere else.
Heavens, how else would I have gotten to see The Rolling Stones three times in three months?
My darling mother accused me of having a romantic interest in Stones' lead guitarist Keith Richard.
Mother, I said, have you seen Keith Richard?
Frankly, Keith's romantic interests surely gazed upon much younger objects than I anyway.
This is my point: At the very least, do not let your high school-age children go off somewhere without you or some other adult you trust implicitly.
I hate to sound like a cynic, but I'm not so sure there are too many other people I would trust with my children. Have you read the news lately, even locally?
I've written fairly extensively about adults who "court" parents so they can get access to their children, especially young ones. But that doesn't mean some people don't get weird with older children. We parents cannot be so cavalier about what our children do, where they do it and with whom. I'd want to eyeball every single person who came in contact with my kids. The only way to do that is to be there.
So, if you're thinking about allowing your child to head off somewhere without you, please reconsider. It doesn't mean you don't trust your child. I merely means you don't trust other people with your child.
For goodness sake, why spend all these years loving and caring and protecting your child, and then throw it all away?
Pack that suitcase and make your reservation. You will not be sorry.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – DeSoto County developer James "Jamie" Harris is free on bond after his federal indictment on allegations he schemed to defraud Citizens National Bank.
Harris, 52, of Hernando appeared in court Wednesday to face three counts that he and Charles F. "Chuck" Roberts III lied to the bank and others about their Cherry Hill Subdivision development.
The bank loaned $5 million to the men's RH Holdings LLC to develop the subdivision.
Roberts is due in federal court today to plead guilty to an information, which is a federal charge that hasn't come from a grand jury. It's usually the result of cooperation with the government.
It wasn't immediately known what Roberts will plead guilty to.
Harris' five-page indictment accuses him and Roberts of obtaining funds from the loan with false invoices for work and lying that extra funds were needed because of unforeseen drainage problems.
The government claims that in one instance, the bank issued a check for $181,544 to pay for a box culvert, which it states was paid for by the City of Southaven.
If convicted on all counts, Harris faces up to 65 years in prison and $2.25 million in fines.
Wednesday, Harris entered a not guilty plea before Magistrate Judge S. Allan Alexander, who set his unsecured bond at $5,000.
He is represented by Oxford attorney David G. Hill.

Barbershop quarter shares the love on Valentine's Day
SPOKANE, Wash. - One local woman is certainly feeling the love this Valentine's Day after her husband sent her a very special gift.
Early Thursday morning found Gary Bumgarner and his crew start their busiest day of the year.
"It's just an unbelievable feeling for us because we love the singing so much that that in itself is a treat for us," he said.
It's a unique gift idea and extremely popular: Sending a singing telegram by barbershop quartet.Barbershop quartet
"We have seven quartets working at this, 93 sing outs to do. We are sold out, we can't take anymore," he said.
Which is good news, as they rely on this day of love to raise money for their non-profit quartet group, but the cash isn't the only reason they're here.
"To be able to see the response we get from the people into know that they are getting this from their loved ones it's just terrific," Bumgarner said.
"I was out in the kitchen they said you didn't want to take your blue bonnet off and I just had a funny feeling uh oh," Sacred Heart employee Nancy Zietlow said.
To say the least Zietlow was surprised and moved when she realized the thought her husband put into this. It was certainly not your standby 'pink card and chocolates' gift.
"It was really cool; I love music, I love barbershop quartets, I seen this done before to other people so it's a little embarrassing just to be caught on the spot like that but it's cool. I think it's really sweet," she said.
"If you were on the receiving end of this and it's a surprise your heart just goes high," Bumgarner said.

TUPELO – Tupelo High School senior Dorie Stewart said she and her classmates are very competitive academically.
That made Monday's honor more meaningful when she and seven other seniors were named "Six-Year Rotary Scholars" during the Rotary Club of Tupelo's weekly meeting at The Summit Center. The honor notes they were among the top 30 students in their class every year, beginning in seventh grade.
"We're always checking our rankings," she said. "I was really relieved (when I found out). I said I can take a breath now and not worry any more."
That competitiveness also has made them close, she said, and the group was quick to tease each other when discussing their accomplishment.
"You are setting yourself on a path of excellence," said Six-Year Scholar Ben Matthews when asked to give advice to younger students wanting to follow in their footsteps. "Go forward with all you have."
Added Stewart: "Did you look that up on the Internet?"
"That sounds like Emerson," added fellow Scholar Ben Logan, referring to famed poet and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Since the early 1980s, the Rotary Club of Tupelo has annually honored the top 30 Tupelo students, plus ties, in seventh to 12th grade. Those seniors who have received the honor every year are given special distinction as Six-Year Scholars.
Joining Dorie, Ben Matthews and Ben Logan this year were Kenya Ashby, Brigid McCool, Kayla Nguyen, Ashley Williams and Hunter York, who was not at the event because of a previously scheduled visit to Harvard, delayed by last week's events in Boston.
"When you are trying to juggle extra-curricular activities, jobs, church and school work, this honor shows you can keep up with good grades and be involved with the community," Kenya said.
This year's 205 honorees were chosen slightly differently than in past years. Middle school students were given extra weight for pre-advanced placement or accelerated classes, as has been the case for the last two years.
However, because of Tupelo High School's new block schedule, THS students who made the top 30 without the extra weight for AP and Pre-AP courses were honored as were those who made it with the extra weight given. As a result, 42 juniors and 41 seniors were named scholars.
Rotary Scholars list
On Monday, 205 students from Tupelo Middle School and Tupelo High School were named Rotary Scholars. Tupelo's Rotary Club honored the top 30 students plus ties in grades seven to 12 based upon grade-point average, with extra weight given for middle school students in pre-advanced placement and accelerated courses. Because of Tupelo High School's new block schedule, students who made the top 30 both with and without the added weight were chosen, which is why those grades have more than 30 scholars.

I've written a series of columns from Israel in the past two weeks because I believe that if Secretary of State John Kerry brings his peace mission to a head and presents the parties with a clear framework for an agreement, Israel and the Jewish people will face one of the most critical choices in their history. And when they do, all hell could break loose in Israel. It is important to understand why.

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists WuDunn, Kristof to speak
Posted January 29, 2010; 02:44 p.m.
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof will discuss their new book on the oppression of women and girls in the developing world at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The book is titled "Half the Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity for Women Worldwide."
WuDunn is an investment adviser with a focus on philanthropy and a former foreign correspondent for The New York Times, having covered areas such as Myanmar, North Korea and China. Kristof is a columnist for the Times. They became the first married couple to win a Pulitzer Prize in journalism when they were honored for their coverage of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement in Beijing and the military crackdown that ended it. The couple also won a George Polk Award and an Overseas Press Club Award. Kristof won a second Pulitzer Prize for his commentary on human rights issues.
They co-wrote two previous books about Asia: "Thunder From the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia" and "China Wakes: The Struggle for the Soul of a Rising Power."
WuDunn earned a master in public affairs in 1988 from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. The talk is sponsored by the Wilson School and the University Press Club. It is part of the Press Club's Louis R. Rukeyser '54 Memorial Lecture Series, which seeks to promote interest in the pursuit of journalism and to raise awareness of the role of the media in society.

This is oversimplifying that case quite a bit, and despite the cases findings it's been hotly disputed by economists. Putting aside that a large cornerstone of the case was that internet speeds at the time were prohibitively slow to download another web browser/application, which is no longer the case.
Large Company does something illegal, profits immensely (or else ensures a competitor doesn't profit).
Governments step in, punish Large Company with a huge fine.
Large Company still gets to reap the benefits of what it did, because the competitor is defeated, or because the indirect benefits of it's actions is worth more than the cost of the governmental fine.
Large Company lays low for a few years.
Large Company does something else illegal.
The problem is that you are assuming that monopolies are illegal, which is false. Abusing monopoly power is illegal, but there are many monopolies in the US. Local power companies are a good example.
In this case Microsoft is giving away a product that consumers want included in their operating system for free. They are not disallowing others to be installed. US Anti-trust law is designed to protect consumers from monopolies, not to protect businesses from them.
The purpose of the Act was, to quote Sherman:
"To protect the consumers by preventing arrangements designed, or which tend, to advance the cost of goods to the consumer"
The US supreme court says this on the Sherman Antitrust Act
"The purpose of the [Sherman] Act is not to protect businesses from the working of the market; it is to protect the public from the failure of the market. The law directs itself not against conduct which is competitive, even severely so, but against conduct which unfairly tends to destroy competition itself.[7] This focus of U.S. competition law, on protection of competition rather than competitors, is not necessarily the only possible focus or purpose of competition law. For example, it has also been said that competition law in the European Union (EU) tends to protect the competitors in the marketplace, even at the expense of market efficiencies and consumers."
