Don't believe what the NCAA may tell you. The atomic bomb did not go off in college athletics Friday.
It was more of a stink bomb. Specifically, it was a stink bomb that made the college sports establishment wake up and smell their own monopoly. But for now, it's mostly a confusion bomb.
Opinions ranged all over the place when the antitrust ruling from Judge Claudia Wilken popped out of her Oakland courtroom. This was a revolution! No, it was a disaster! No, it was a major or minor thrust in either the right or wrong direction! No, it was a touchdown for … all of us! In truth, college administrators will be poring over Wilken's 99-page document for several days. At first glance, they will discover that her language is not as drastic as they feared.
Basically, Wilken's ruling permits athletic programs to pay their football and men's basketball players for use of their images in video games or posters (or television commercials?) and put the money in a trust fund to be claimed after the players leave school. The amount of those payments can be determined by the institutions. But the payments must be a minimum of $5,000 per season per player, or $25,000 over a five-year college career (including a redshirt season).
Let's put that in perspective. Let's assume that the NCAA schools, who have fought against paying players, will stick to that $5,000 minimum. An 85-man college football roster would therefore require annual payments of $425,000 into the trust fund.
Stanford and Cal each receive about $20 million per season in network television revenue. That amount is roughly the same for every school in the so-called "Power Five" conferences of the Pac-12, Big 12, Big Ten, Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference.
See why this isn't an atomic bomb?
Far more significant, in terms of impact, was the NCAA's announcement last Thursday regarding those very same "Power Five" conference programs and Notre Dame. Those schools have been granted permission to write their own rules about such matters as additional cash stipends to athletes, insurance benefits, staff sizes, recruiting regulations, marketing initiatives and so forth.
Not that the "Power Five" concept has met with unanimous approval — even by those connected to the "Power Five."
"We've sold out," Kansas State coach Bill Snyder told reporters after his team's Thursday practice. "It's all about dollars and sense."
Really? Snyder is just learning this fact? He must have been trapped in Oz for the last few decades as TV rights fees soared. He must also not have noticed that coaches' salaries have been increasing obscenely, while athletes were still getting a scholarship plus room and board, period.
Now, thanks to Wilken and the "Power Five" template, the players will at least share a little more of the pie they helped cook. But how will that work, exactly? This is where the confusion bomb explodes. With the judge dissolving the notion of complete NCAA control, questions abound:
Whatever the answers, everything will take some time to shake out. Wilken's ruling only affects players enrolled after July 1, 2016. The "Power Five" schools will also need time to organize their new entity. And the NCAA is appealing the ruling. That could create more delays.
In the end, Friday's decision may be important primarily as a precedent-setter. It has forced the NCAA and college sports to recognize and acknowledge what they have become: Minor league pro sports.
That's no bombshell. That's a coming-to-grips-with-reality shoulder shrug and mandatory call for change. It's about time.

- INTERPOL Rome
Member since :
13 June 1956
The national authority for public order and security in Italy is the Ministry of Interior. It has command over the five police forces which operate throughout the country, exercising its authority over them through its Department of Public Security (DPS).
The DPS is headed by the "Chief of Police - Director General of Public Security" who is appointed by the President of the Italian Republic upon recommendation of the Ministry of Interior.
The DPS is in charge of the technical and operational coordination of law enforcement activities carried out by the five national police forces. Their investigations are coordinated through the Public Prosecutor's Office, and each one sits structurally in a different Ministry:
- Polizia di Stato (Ministry of Interior): serving as the state police, this national police force is part of DPS. Its responsibilities include investigative and law enforcement duties, and the security of motorway, railway, and waterway networks;
- Arma dei Carabinieri (Ministry of Defence): a force with military status and nationwide remit for crime investigations. It also serves as the military police for the Italian armed forces and can be called upon for national defence action;
- Guardia di Finanza (Ministry of Economy and Finance): a force with military status and nationwide remit for financial crime investigations;
- Corpo Forestale dello Stato (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry Policies) : a force with nationwide remit for environmental crime investigations;
- Polizia Penitenziaria (Ministry of Justice): a force with nationwide remit for prison security, inmate safety and transportation.
The DPS manages, supports and administrates the five police forces through its coordination boards, multi-agency schools, information structures and joint databases. The DPS's role will increase over time with a view to maximising overall law enforcement efficiency.
In the months to come, the 'Corpo Forestale dello Stato' and 'Carabineri' will merge to form a new law enforcement agency with the crime investigation and prevention mandate of both agencies.
INTERPOL Rome
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for Italy is part of the International Police Cooperation Service (SCIP), a branch of DPS.
SCIP is one of the multi-agency structures of DPS. It is headed, on a rotation basis, by a high ranking official of either the Polizia di Stato, Carabinieri or Guardia di Finanza and is staffed by officers from the five police forces. It is responsible for coordinating international investigations and police action on behalf of the five Italian police forces.
SCIP is made up of:
Division 1: General Affairs:
- International Operations Centre;
- Italian liaison officers network;
- Policy, strategy and technical support.
- Division 2: INTERPOL;
- Division 3: INTERPOL;
- Division 4: Europol National Unit;
- Division 5: S.I.Re.N.E.
The two INTERPOL Divisions share between them responsibility for the following crime areas:
- Crimes against people;
- Crimes against property;
- Economic crime;
- Environmental crime;
- Fugitives;
- Human trafficking and migrant smuggling;
- Missing persons;
- Narcotics;
- Organized crime;
- Terrorism.

Hi homebrewer, welcome to the forum. While I can't say that the 815 pump will definitely work, I believe it will. I checked the specs on March's website and they're pretty close to the 809 series pumps that most homebrewers use. The main consideration is the pumps ability to handle high temps. March doesn't give temp specs for the 815, but it's made of the same material as the 809 pump so I think you're golden. Here are a couple of links so you can compare the two. I hope they help.

Re: Pumps??
Check out Chugger pumps. They seem to be less expensive than the March 809/815 series. I wish I would have known about them when I bought my 815. Here's a link from the NB forum about 'em.

Mark Rylance, Jim Lichtscheidl, and More Set for NICE FISH at Guthrie Theatre
The Guthrie Theater today announced complete casting for its world premiere of Nice Fish by Mark Rylance and Louis Jenkins, dedicated to Nataasha van Kampen and James Hillman. The production will be directed by Rylance and Claire van Kampen (who also contributes original music) and will feature Rylance as Ron as well as actors Jim Lichtscheidl (Guthrie: Arms and the Man, The 39 Steps) as Eric, Emily Swallow (Guthrie: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Midsummer Night's Dream; Television: the upcoming TNT series "Monday Mornings") as Flo and Chris Carlson (Guthrie: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, God of Carnage) as Wayne in a humorous and mythic story based on Jenkins' prose poetry and taking place on the frozen waters of the Upper Midwest on the last day of ice fishing season. Nice Fish also features Bob Davis (Guthrie: Tales from Hollywood, Arsenic and Old Lace) as DNR Officer and Tyson Forbes (Guthrie: Peer Gynt, 1776) as Wainwright.
Rylance first appeared at the Guthrie a decade ago as Olivia in the Guthrie WorldStage Series presentation of an original practices production of Twelfth Night by Shakespeare's Globe. He returned for Measure for Measure two years later, and these pair of Globe performances sparked discussions between Rylance and the Guthrie's Joe Dowling that first led to Rylance's stark and powerful performance in the title role of 2008's Peer Gynt, and subsequently to Nice Fish. One of the most visceral and inventive actors of his generation, Rylance has won two Tony Awards for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play (Boeing Boeing in 2008 and Jerusalem in 2011) as well as an Olivier Award and a Critics' Circle Theatre Award. He was the first artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, where he served from 1995 to 2005.
Rylance has co-written Nice Fish with Duluth prose poet Louis Jenkins, an evocative and frequently surrealist wordsmith whose work has been heard on "A Prairie Home Companion." Jenkins' work has been promoted in the public eye and ear by Rylance, who accepted both of his Tony Awards by reciting poems by Jenkins (including a discourse on the pastime of walking through walls). The play tells the story of Eric and Ron, who are ice fishing on the verge of the last blizzard of the Midwestern winter when they encounter mythic individuals who, as Rylance told The New York Times, "provide a little bit of a challenge."
The artistic team includes Todd Rosenthal (Scenic Designer), Ilona Somogyi (Costume Designer), Mimi Sherin (Lighting Designer), Scott W. Edwards (Sound Designer), Michael Lupu (Dramaturg), Tree O'Halloran (Stage Manager) and Jon Ferguson (Assistant Director).
Nice Fish begins preview performances on April 6, opens April 12 and continues through May 18, 2013 on the McGuire Proscenium Stage at the Guthrie Theater. Single tickets start at $29 and are now on sale through the Guthrie Box Office at 612.377.2224, toll-free 877.44.STAGE, 612.225.6244 (Group Sales) and online at www.guthrietheater.org.
The GUTHRIE THEATER (Joe Dowling, Director) was founded by Sir Tyrone Guthrie in 1963 and is an American center for theater performance, production, education and professional training. The Tony Award-winning Guthrie Theater is dedicated to producing the great works of dramatic literature, developing the work of contemporary playwrights and cultivating the next generation of theater artists. With annual attendance of nearly 500,000 people, the Guthrie Theater presents a mix of classic plays and contemporary work on its three stages. Under the artistic leadership of Joe Dowling since 1995, the Guthrie continues to set a national standard for excellence in theatrical production and performance. In 2006, the Guthrie opened its new home on the banks of the Mississippi River in Minneapolis. Designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Jean Nouvel, the Guthrie Theater houses three state-of-the-art stages, production facilities, classrooms and dramatic public lobbies. www.guthrietheater.org

Secretary Tillerson Addresses Meeting of the Ministers of the Global Coalition on the Defeat of ISIS
By DipNote Bloggers on March 22, 2017
Today, U.S. Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson addressed the 68-member Global Coalition working to defeat ISIS. The goal of the Ministerial, which was held on March 22 at the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., was to accelerate international efforts to defeat ISIS in the remaining areas it holds in Iraq and Syria and maximize pressure on its branches, affiliates, and networks. The meeting also highlighted specific ways the Coalition can effectively collaborate to defeat ISIS globally.
In remarks during the plenary session of the Ministerial, Secretary Tillerson affirmed, "Together, we share a resolve to deal ISIS or Daesh a lasting defeat. Our coalition is united in stopping an ISIS resurgence, halting its global ambitions and discrediting its ideological narrative. And we're ready to grow stronger and stay aggressive in this battle."
Acknowledging that many of the countries represented at the Ministerial have suffered ISIS's carnage firsthand, Secretary Tillerson asked all to honor the victims of these attacks with an unwavering dedication to victory. "The great commonality among we who have gathered today is a commitment to bringing down a global force of evil, and I emphasize the word "commitment." The success of our mission depends on a continual devotion to our stated objective of defeating this terrorist organization," Secretary Tillerson added.
Today's Ministerial also served as a platform to discuss ways to address the humanitarian crisis that has resulted from the prolonged conflict in the region. Secretary Tillerson shared, "In the run-up to this meeting, we identified over $2 billion in humanitarian, stabilization, and de-mining needs for liberated areas in Iraq and Syria for 2017. I'm pleased to announce that we have surpassed that total in dollar pledges." He also asked all coalition partners to fulfill pledges to quickly disperse the funds we need to carry out operations for the rest of the year.

Recognizing the significant progress made by the Coalition in the last year and the meaningful financial contributions of its members, Secretary Tillerson urged coalition members to remain steadfast. "Hard-fought victories in Iraq and Syria have swung the momentum in our coalition's favor, but we must increase the intensity of our efforts and solidify our gains in the next phase of the counter-ISIS fight. Degradation of ISIS is not the end goal. We must defeat ISIS."
Secretary Tillerson reaffirmed the United States' commitment to the effort, emphasizing that, "defeating ISIS is the United States' number one goal in the region," and added, "We must continue to keep our focus on the most urgent matter at hand."
Looking ahead at the next steps in the Coalition's effort to defeat ISIS, Secretary Tillerson noted, "The expansion of ISIS has necessitated a large scale military response, and our offensive measures are reclaiming areas in Iraq and Syria in which ISIS has had a large and destructive footprint. Our end goal in this phase is the regional elimination of ISIS through military force."
The Secretary continued, "We will continue to facilitate the return of people to their homes, and work with local political leadership. They will provide stable and fair governance, rebuild infrastructure, and provide essential services. We will use our diplomatic presence on the ground to facilitate channels of dialogue between local leadership and Coalition partners."
Secretary Tillerson emphasized that a successful stabilization phase will set the stage for a successful normalization phase and that the Coalition's effort will require sustained support from all members. "As we stabilize areas encompassing ISIS's physical caliphate in Iraq and Syria, we also must prevent their seeds of hatred from taking root elsewhere. We must ensure ISIS cannot gain or maintain footholds in new regions of the world," he urged.
While the Coalition's military strength will stop ISIS on a battlefield, Secretary Tillerson acknowledged that the combined strength of our coalition "will be the final blow to ISIS." In order to stay ahead of a global outbreak, he urged the adoption of the following countermeasures:
- Persist with in-country counterterrorism and law enforcement operations to maintain pressure on ISIS's networks within our own countries and take decisive law enforcement action to stop its growth;
- Greater intelligence and information sharing within our own domestic intelligence agencies and among coalition member nations.
- Call on Muslim partners and leaders of their faith to combat ISIS's perverse ideological message.
- Break ISIS's ability to spread its message and recruit new followers online by fighting ISIS online as aggressively as we would on the ground.
In closing, Secretary Tillerson noted, "ISIS presents an ongoing challenge to our collective security, but as we have seen, it is not more powerful than we are when we stand together."

how does this series compare to blade of the immortal...call it a point of reference...
Anyone check out those artbooks yet?
Damn it! Still, at least the next chapter comes out...
In ... March, right?
Apparently, man. I gave Inoue's website a brief looksie about 5 minutes ago and there isn't anything there... but the place where I get scans said that March would be the next chapters date. I trust 'em.
Wow, Vagabond has earned it's own section on the Skullknight forums. Unexpected.

Anyhow, enough with the geek stuff. Today's my birthday. Normally, I'd head to the Monday night recovery ride, but not today. My wife and I are going to try out this new Asian restaurant that just popped up in the new shopping center a few miles from home. This morning's ride was nice and easy. It's about 60 degrees outside, and it's nice and clear.
I have my leg wrapped up in a sport bandage with antibiotic ointment and gauze underneath. On the main road rash part, I have a new "second skin" type of covering that keeps the area moist and clean. We'll see how it works. Everything feels like it's healing up nicely, though.
So begins another week... I've promised a new bike commuter that I'd ride into downtown with him once my leg heals up. I've said I'm not going to make a habit of riding between home and downtown, but it's a pretty fun ride. Once I move, I'll probably be willing to do it more often.

Vine: The newest form of minstrel shows?
We've come a long way to make it into a society where it's no longer socially acceptable to be racist. But with the launch of Vine, being racist seems to be all the rage this summer, showcasing videos of white behavior vs. black behavior, much like the minstrel shows of the 1840s.

The Art of Summer Reading: Al Wiseman
... and reading under a big shady tree. Reading comic books and chapter books; that was probably my favourite summer activity.
Among my favourite things to read were these thick, digest-sized collections that reprinted old Dennis the Menace comic books from the 1950s. I still have a pile of them, purchased at our local used book store for a quarter a piece when I was probably eight or nine years old.
I didn't know it at the time, but those comics weren't drawn by Dennis creator, Hank Ketcham. The early Dennis comic books - the one's reprinted in those digest-size paperbacks - were drawn by a tremendously talented and largely unknown cartoonist named Al Wiseman.
Wiseman was, in no uncertain terms, a brilliant cartoonist.
Using a refined, almost 'technical' line, Al Wiseman managed to capture all the character of his subjects and impart a range and subtlety of motion - and emotion - missing from the vast majority of work done by lesser cartoonists.
Wiseman's impressive drawing skills are evident in every panel of any page he drew...
... but nowhere more so than in panels that show the human form is motion.
Combining slapstick body language and the accuracy of superior draftsmanship gave Wiseman's work a believability that had me hooked from the first page of every hilarious story.
Wiseman's Dennis lived in an alternate reality of suburban mundanity I could totally accept as being 'a real place.' It looked very much like the neighbourhood I was growing up in...
... which made Dennis' outrageous antics all the more appealing to me as a kid.
I could relate because Wiseman seemed to be drawing my world with tremendous accuracy - but with more crashing, smashing and yelling!
One thing I was oblivious to at the time but now have tremendous admiration for is Al Wiseman's expert use of silhouette.
No doubt Wiseman intended to save some time rendering detail... but drawing a well-defined silhouette is not easy to do well.
Wiseman's silhouettes were always attractively designed, easy to read, and told the story of the picture in a clear, concise manner.
When he really wanted to show off though, Wiseman would spare no detail in delineating the complex chaos and joyful mayhem only Dennis Mitchell could create!
This week: a look at some of the great illustrators of books (and comic books) from my childhood summers.

Really enjoyed the post! I wasn't familiar with Wiseman's work before. Fantastically efficient draftsmanship, and great composition, too!ReplyDelete

Like "Nancy" and "Richie Rich" and Sad Sack (one of my favorites), Dennis has charms that are not apparent. The gag strip was always better than the dreadful TV series in the states years ago. Dennis the Menace was not exactly a sympathetic charactar, but his charm came in contrast to the problematic charactars around him -- father, and Mr. Wilson. Nice post.ReplyDelete
I love those silhouettes and think this is a pretty good version of Dennis although I miss the subtle line work and the empty spaces with lines dropping out that Ketcham did. I never knew how Hank determined what lines to keep and which to exclude but it made for a cool graphic approach Wiseman didn't attempt to emulate.ReplyDelete
Al was fantastic! I knew his style even when I was a kid, but I didn't know his name until Love & Rockets, Gilbert Hernandez and I chatted at a con.ReplyDelete
Love reading this. Thanks for the wonderful post. Those books are amazing.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7:23 PM
Thank you so much for showing these. Just to be clear, the strip versions of Dennis you showed here came from the paperbacks? All the paperbacks I've ever seem have been (sadly) collections of the single-panel comics. Thank you for your help :-)ReplyDelete
I feel the same way about Wiseman. I still look to my old Dennis books for inspiration.ReplyDelete
Great inspiration! Thanks for postingReplyDelete
hi! i absolutely love your blog- its so beautifully written and well set out.ReplyDelete
it would mean a lot if you could check out my blog- i am searching for a 1000 things to do in a lifetime and then giving them a go for myself.
Thanks everyone, for your great comments. I'm glad I'm not alone in appreciating Al Wiseman's work. To Anonymous; these paperbacks were not the standard Dennis paperback reprints of Hank Ketcham's daily panel gags. These were the slightly wider format of an Archie Comics Digest magazine and in full colour, like an Archie Digest.ReplyDelete

MAC Apres Chic Mineralize Eyeshadows
MAC Fireside Mineralize Eyeshadow
MAC Apres Chic: Mineralize Eyeshadows
MAC Apres Chic Mineralize Eyeshadows ($21.00 for 0.07 oz.) includes five new (and limited edition) shades: Fireside (deep plum with purple veining), Frost at Midnight (deep blue/grey with grey veining), Ice (light peach base with white veining), Silver Birch (grey base with peach veining), and Winter Pursuit (copper base with grey veining).
Fireside is a reddish-brown base with a bluish-teal duochrome. The color payoff dry is lackluster, so I'd recommend using it with a damp or wet brush, where it is more pigmented. This color is one of the more popular shades that brands seem to have–MAC has two within the permanent range (Blue Brown pigment, Club eyeshadow). Wet 'n' Wild Comfort Zone #8 has a very similar shade with a stronger duochrome. bareMinerals Mirage is a bit darker but similar. MAC Double Feature #5 included a similar shade. Urban Decay Lounge is very similar–same amount of red in the base color as well as duochrome. Of all of those, I prefer bareMinerals' formula with Urban Decay's as a second-place finish.
Frost at Midnight is a navy blue with a purplish tint. It has a frosted finish, and the pigmentation is better wet than dry, where it is rather sheer and faded. This shade had the worst pigmentation out of the five; it was still lacking in intensity when used damp. MAC Hint of Sapphire is darker, grayer. Inglot #434 is more muted, less blue. Cinderella Midnight is darker.
Ice is a warm, pale champagne-shimmered peach with a very high-frost, high-metallic finish. It had so-so pigmentation when used dry, but it has some powderiness and fall out problems if you use it wet, compared to damp, where it binds together better. MAC A Natural Flirt is warmer, pinker. NARS Ramatuelle is less metallic. bareMinerals Mixologist is very similar–more metallic than frosted.
Silver Birch is a dirty pewter; it has gray, gold, and brownish-black in it. This shade had the most nuance to it, out of the five, but the payoff was weak when used dry. When applied damp, it was nicely pigmented and applied more smoothly. MAC Modern Pewter is lighter, warmer. Wet 'n' Wild Dancing in the Clouds is lighter, more golden.
Winter Pursuit is a warm, medium-dark copper that has a rosy-red tint that gives it a more muted appearance–not so orange-copper. It has a very frosted, metallic-like finish. This shade had the best color payoff of the five–it could be used both wet and dry, though dry is so-so in payoff. MAC Star Myth is more orange. MAC Magnetic Attraction is redder. MAC Mythical is a bit redder.
Long-time readers will know that I LOVE looking and photographing Mineralize Eyeshadows, but I'm not a fan of them in practice. They tend to have fall out problems, and they usually fade more quickly, with or without a primer. The Mineralize Eyeshadows we've seen over the past couple of years are definitely improved compared to the initial release, but I still have both problems. These shades gave me the same two problems, though fall out was less than usual. When I use these wet, as I did with all of the shades I wore (Ice, Silver Birch, and Frost at Midnight), there was noticeable fading within three hours. Frost at Midnight looked mostly gray by eight hours, while the lightest shade, Ice was barely visible. Finally, Silver Birch had faded but was still visible.
Silver Birch was the most interesting/unique out of the five. At a glance, Fireside seems really interesting, and the color is beautiful and lovely, but it's a commonly produced shade by a variety of brands. As always, if you don't have the wear problems I encounter with the Mineralize Eyeshadows, then the biggest drawback of these becomes the weak color payoff when used dry (so omitting wear, these would be more like a B-rated product). The texture was soft but some shades were less smooth, as the sparkle was more noticeable.

Last call to implement car safety system voluntarily
The European Commission today made a last call to all EU countries to speed up voluntary implementation of the new in-car communication technology 'eCall' that could save 2 500 lives a year. The eCall system automatically dials 112, Europe's single emergency number when a car has a serious accident and sends its location to the nearest emergency service. This can halve emergency response times, reduce severity of injures and save lives of people who do not know or cannot say where they are. For now, the deployment of eCall by public authorities, car companies and mobile phone operators is voluntary. So far the system is not operational in any EU country. The Commission warns, in a policy document adopted today, that if no significant progress is made in rolling out the system by the end of 2009 it could propose regulatory measures to make this life-saving technology available all over Europe as soon as possible. In 2008, more than 1.2 million accidents on Europe's roads caused around 39000 deaths and more than 1.7 million injuries.
"Too many people are still dying on European roads. Every week I hear about road accidents where eCall would have helped. The time has come for Member States and industry to move from talk to action," said Viviane Reding, EU Commissioner for Information Society and Media. "At EU level, thanks in particular to the continued support of the European Parliament, we have done our part of the job: all the relevant core standards for making eCall possible are in place. Europeans should not have to wait any longer for a system that could save their lives just because their governments fail to act. I want to see the first eCall cars on our roads next year: If the eCall roll-out does not accelerate, the Commission stands ready to set out clear rules obliging governments, industry and emergency services to respond."
The Commission today presented a policy document with a strategy for introducing an affordable in-car emergency call system in all new vehicles across Europe by 2014, starting next year. Triggered automatically, if the passengers cannot do so, eCall could save up to 2 500 lives per year in the EU when fully deployed and reduce severity of injuries by 10 to 15%. The measures proposed by the Commission would ensure that eCall works in all EU countries and in cars of all brands and countries of origin.
Implementing eCall needs the full collaboration of the car and telecoms industries, as well as national administrations in all EU countries who must ensure that their emergency services are equipped to handle eCalls.
Although the technology is ready and common EU-wide standards have been agreed by industry, six EU countries (Denmark, France, Ireland, Latvia, Malta and the UK) are still not ready to commit, due to cost related concerns.
Preparing phone networks and emergency services for the roll out of eCall in cars across Europe has the full support of the European Parliament and 15 EU countries who have signed the eCall Memorandum of Understanding (Austria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the Netherlands and Sweden) and three other European countries (Iceland, Norway and Switzerland).
Another six countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Hungary, Luxembourg, Romania and Poland) support eCall and are willing to sign the agreement in due time.
Before making eCall fully operational across the EU, countries must agree common standards and guidelines for harmonised deployment of the system and perform field tests putting it into practice (pilots have been launched in some EU countries, including Finland, Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Italy, The Netherlands). Through its Competitiveness and Innovation Programme the Commission may financially support such pilots, as well as public awareness campaigns about how the technology works.
Road accidents cost the EU economy more than €160 billion a year. Equipping all cars in the EU with the eCall system could save €26 billion annually while the system' is estimated to cost less than €100 per car. Introducing this device will not only benefit consumers, but also businesses by enabling the car and telecoms industries to offer new upgraded applications and services (like digital tachographs or electronic tolls) based on eCall to be installed in all vehicles and use satellite positioning technology.
The Commission originally called for eCall to be rolled out voluntarily across Europe by 2009 (IP/05/134, IP/06/1720) but the system has been delayed due to lack of support from a minority of EU countries.
The Commission has supported work on eCall through research funding for projects that make sure the technology would work across borders (E-MERGE and GST-Rescue) and industry cooperation within the eSafety Initiative. eCall is one of the priorities of the Intelligent Car Initiative and the Intelligent Transport Systems Action Plan promoting the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to achieve a smarter, safer and cleaner road transport (IP/06/191).
In the last two years, the EU provided around €160 million for research into ICT for transport, covering safety systems, intelligent vehicle systems and mobility services.
Today's Commission strategy for an EU-wide eCall system and the common agreement signed by 15 Member States are available at:

Smith unfazed about small forward
Smith unfazed about small forward
Guard says he will move to help Hornets
Saturday, July 16, 2005
By John Reid
Staff writer
LAS VEGAS -- Two weeks ago, the talk was that the Hornets' J.R. Smith and Chris Paul could become one of the best young backcourts in the NBA.
That was then.
Now it looks like Smith won't be spending as much time in the backcourt as some envisioned. Smith, last year's top draft pick, could be moved to small forward instead of joining Paul, this year's top draft pick, as a starting guard.
The Hornets agreed in principle Thursday to a three-year contract with Lithuanian shooting guard Arvydas Macijauskas, considered by many NBA scouts to be one of the best perimeter shooters in Europe.
Smith said the organization made the right move.
"We're just doing what we can to better our team, because nobody wants what happened last year (18-64 record) to occur again," Smith said. "They can put me at point guard or center; it doesn't matter as long as I'm on the court. I don't care where I'm playing at to help my team."
As a rookie last season, Smith started the final 56 games at shooting guard and averaged 10.3 points. He was selected as the Western Conference's top rookie for three consecutive months, starting in January.
At this week's Vegas Summer League, Smith played all five games at shooting guard and finished as the second-leading scorer in the tournament, with a 20.6 average.
But it's unlikely the Hornets plan for Macijauskas, 25, to come off the bench next season. Under NBA rules, the Hornets can't specifically discuss Macijauskas until Friday, the first day free agents can start signing contracts.
After the Hornets reached deals to re-sign backup small forward Bostjan Nachbar and backup center Chris Andersen, the team targeted a free agent capable of starting next season.
The Hornets initially focused on signing a small forward. Before the free-agency negotiating period began, General Manager Allan Bristow said that was the team's primary need.
The Hornets were unsuccessful in their pursuit of free agent Bobby Simmons, although they wined and dined him in Las Vegas 10 days ago, riding him in limousines and putting him up in first-class accommodations in an executive suite at Caesars Palace. Simmons, considered the top available small forward, agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Then, the Hornets focused their attention on Macijauskas, whom they've been targeting for the past two years. Macijauskas made at least 53 percent of his shots in eight of the nine seasons he played in Europe. During the 2000-01 season, when Macijauskas played for Lietuvos in the Lithuanian Professional League, he averaged 18.7 points and made 62.9 percent of his shots. He also showed his perimeter-shooting strength in the Olympics, when he scored 24 points in a loss to the United States in the bronze medal game in Athens last summer.
"Having a pure shooter like him will open up a lot of things for us," Paul said. "He just better be ready to run, because that's what we're going to do. I'm going to push the ball."
There is a chance Smith will play some at shooting guard when Macijauskas is not in the game, and Coach Byron Scott has said in the past that his Princeton offense requires players to play multiple positions.
"I've played small forward before, and I know all the plays," Smith said. "I'm going to be spending a lot of time now working on my midrange shot. We're just doing what we've got to do to get good players who want to be with us. Everybody I know on this team wants to be here. That's what we need, and I'm trying to be one of the leaders."
The deal for Macijauskas was reached Thursday afternoon after the start of the Hornets' final Vegas Summer League game against the Detroit Pistons. Macijauskas' agent, Marc Fleisher, walked over to Scott, who was seated on press row, and told him Macijauskas was going to be a Hornet.
"Every team needs shooters. We'll see how good he is," Hornets center Maciej Lampe said.

Re: Remapping CapsLock?
I have tried ViEmu several times. I will be registering very soon
I was wondering if it was possible to use :map/:noremap to map the CapsLock key to the Esc key. Maybe it's in the documentation, but I couldn't find it. I've seen lots on the Vim forums about remapping via registry edits, but it seems like a pain. Any thoughts?

Microsoft, HP Strike Search Deal for New PCsBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-06-02 Print
Microsoft uses its dominance in the operating system space to its advantage with its own search technology. Will Google stir up antitrust and monopoly charges?
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) struck a deal with the world's largest personal computer maker, Hewlett-Packard Co (HPQ.N: Quote, Profile, Research), to place a toolbar on new PCs that leads to its Live Search engine, the companies said on Monday.
The deal is Microsoft's latest attempt to chip away at the dominance of search leader Google Inc (GOOG.O: Quote, Profile, Research). The agreement, which takes effect next January for new PCs in the United States and Canada, displaces a similar one HP has with Yahoo Inc (YHOO.O: Quote, Profile, Research).
Under the agreement, Microsoft's search engine will also be the default service on the Internet Explorer browser preloaded on new HP computers.
Microsoft did not disclose the terms of the agreement.
"This is the most significant distribution deal for Live Search that Microsoft has ever done," said Kevin Johnson, president of Microsoft's platform and services division.
Number-two PC maker Dell Inc (DELL.O: Quote, Profile, Research) and Google have an agreement to preinstall Web and desktop search software on Dell's consumer computers. It expires in 2009.
A Dell spokesman said the company has not decided if it will continue with Google after the current deal expires, but said it was "open to alternative" partnerships.
Google continues to extend its lead in Web search. Research firm comScore said Google's U.S. Web search market share rose to a record 61.5 percent in April, while Yahoo's share declined to 20.4 percent and Microsoft's slipped to 9.1 percent.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft has stepped up its efforts to catch Google with a number of initiatives. Last month, it announced a new "cashback" rewards program to encourage people to use its search engine to shop for items.
In February, it made an offer to buy Yahoo that was rejected by the Web company's board. Microsoft shelved its offer over disagreement on price, but restarted talks with Yahoo last month to buy its search service, said a source familiar with the matter.
Shares of Microsoft were down 63 cents, or 2.2 percent, to $27.69, while HP was down 2 percent at $46.12.

Rooms were small and bed was pretty uncomfortable but then we're used to a foam mattress at home. Considering the rooms are part of a 110 year old inn the rooms were appropriate though.

We had a wonderful stay at the Shelburne. The accommodations were wonderful. The staff friendly and helpful. The food was delicious.

Do you want to have a birthday of a lifetime? Come to the Shelburne Inn. Innkeepers David Campiche and Laurie Anderson make the historic Shelburne Inn a dream come true. My wife and I spent my 60th birthday weekend with the inn keepers and their guests: .the room, classic; the food, incomparable including wild mushrooms foraged by David and other delights of the earth including fresh greens and sea beans, breads by Laurie, and so much more including two 1985 bottles of Pinot Noir from David's private collection...breakfast is heaven to wake to including David's special of the day, like scrambled eggs with wild foraged mushrooms and water cress...the ambiance is quite eclectic and the inn quite historic...comfortable, peaceful, quiet, happy, personable...rooms and public spaces filled with interesting gift ideas and incredible pottery from the innkeeper's pottery wheel. This is an inn in the historic sense with space to find your own space or have fun exchanging your adventures with the other travelers in the inn. Our visit was visit was truly memorable. Thank you David and Laurie... Michael and Judi Hoffman

We loved everything about the Shelburne Inn - the staff, the rooms, the food, and the drinks! We'll definitely be back!
5 on May 14, 2013
What a wonderful little hotel. It's filled with antiques of all ages. The beds are super comfortable. Really has the feel of a bed and breakfast with all the amenities of a hotel. The restaurant is fabulous, can't rave enough about the food. Breakfast is includes and it is well worth having dinner while you're there, the salmon was amazing!
4.2 on January 24, 2013
The staff is fabulous. Everyone made us feel like old friends. It's beautifully appointed, the food is wonderful and it's super relaxing. Keep in mind all the furnishings (and beds)
4.8 on November 13, 2012
The ambiance of the Shelburne Inn is charming. The main common gathering room lends itself to a variety of activities. Guests can find a quiet corner to read, visit around the fireplace, or surround the table for games. The décor mimics an old Irish or English hotel. An abundance of common areas make you feel like you've just returned home. Stained glass windows across the front of the hotel were salvaged from a church in England and are late 1800's vintage. Lots of antique furniture, stained glass, and interesting accessories are found throughout the halls and guest rooms. Immediately, the helpful, friendly staff made us feel at home, taking care of every need. The common rooms and guest rooms were clean, neat, and well appointed. The pub is quaint and inviting, and although we didn't eat there, my husband enjoyed a pint or two. The restaurant offered an interesting array of well prepared and beautifully presented dishes with wild mushrooms as one of the main attractions. Although on the expensive side, the restaurant is well worth it for a special dinner. Breakfast and service personnel were excellent. I definitely recommend the Shelburne Inn and hope to return there someday.
5 on November 02, 2011
We've been going to the Shelburne Inn for almost 20 years now; it is a wonderful getaway. The service is friendly, the rooms are beautifully furnished and clean, and the dining is amazing; we've had the best breakfasts in their lovely dining room! A place with tremendous character and comfort.
4.2 on October 11, 2011
We thoroughly enjoyed our brief stay at the Shelburne Inn, which included an excellent dinner in their dining room. The artwork was very interesting, and much of it was created by our host, Dave. People were charming and friendly and we loved the room.
3.4 on July 23, 2011
Recommended to us by a friend, this is a handsome English pub, restaurant and hotel combination. Friendly operators and staff met every need. Would return if traveling in this area of WA again.
5 on June 27, 2011
The Shelburne is in all aspects a treasure. Charming rooms, absolutely delicious and unique meals, a wonderful setting and the innkeepers, David and Laurie are wonderful people. This is the place we go to for special occasions, e.g. anniversary etc., or when we just need to get away for a couple days. We've stayed both at the in and their nearby China Beach, both are superb!
5 on April 25, 2011
I stayed at the China Beach Retreat, which is just down the way from the Shelburne Inn directly on the Bay. This was by far the best experience that I have ever had with not only customer service, but with everything else. I had no problems sleeping, which I usually do when away from home. The staff went above and beyond to facilitate my food allergies and my wi-fi needs. You will not be disappointed with David and Laurie, or any of their staff. Everyone was Amazing!
4.8 on August 14, 2009
My daughter & I were there with a very large group for my niece's wedding in June, 2009. Just the number of people alone would have been a challenge without any other challenges thrown in. But you made us all feel welcome & treated us all with the utmost respect. You & Laurie made our stay SO enjoyable. Thank you both for a wonderful visit! Being from the south I can say you would make a wonderful "Southern Gentleman"! And your talents as a chef aren't bad either! :) My best to you & your family, Pam (Frankie) Weems
5 on February 01, 2008
I really like the Shelburne. The staff is very friendly and hospitable, the food is outrageously wonderful and it has a beautiful mix of history and modern convenience. A shiny penny!
5 on September 19, 2007
What everyone wishes grandma's house had been. Lots of rooms and levels and cubbyholes to explore. Excellant food. Authentic room decor. Loved having breakfast at the large round table with other guests. And breakfast is an experience! Gourmet choices are offered and served by personable owners/chefs. Delightful experience.

Hope you have a wonderful and blessed Birthday! Please enter me in your book giveaway! I too find life sometimes gets in the way of our creativity. I have made a basket of yarn and crochet hooks that sits in my living room so that I can crochet while relaxing in the evenings or in the very early mornings hours after I have my daily devotions. I don't have to worry about getting out alot of supplies because it's all handy and I can just simply put it away when I need or want to.ReplyDelete

Kevin Grandia | August 28, 2007
By Kevin Grandia • Tuesday, August 28, 2007 - 14:01
No offense to NASA, but as far as maintaining the official US surface temperature records, it's the job of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
And according to the official NOAA record, the 10 hottest years begin with 1998, followed by 2006.
But according to recent histrionics from the climate change denial industry, 1998 is no longer the hottest year in the US. However, this correction was made by the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) who is not officially charged with maintaining US temperature data.
There is an important distinction to be made between NOAA and NASA when it comes to temperature data. In a recent conversation with a top climate scientist I was told that the majority of climate scientists rely on NOAA's data, not NASA's.
This of course will not faze the climate denial industry. They'll continue to think that a minor correction in regional data (data not used by most climate scientists), somehow brings into question the overwhelming scientific evidence for human-induced climate change.
NOAA or NASA? It's splitting hairs over what is clearly a minor adjustment being blown way out of proportion by some with a vested interest in delaying action on carbon emissions.
Even the Junk Man Steve Milloy states that "I [he] am [is] prepared to acknowledge that Mr. McIntyre's discovery amounts to what a New York Times reporter calls a 'statistically meaningless' rearrangement of data."
But some, like Brett Bozell's oil-industry-backed echo chamber, are more than happy to continue beating the denier drum on this one.

"No offense to NASA, but as far as maintaining the official US surface temperature records, it's the job of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."
Are you saying that since Jim Hansen works for NASA, we should ignore all he says about temperature also?
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
And strange leaps of logic are abound with you Paul S.
Paul S replied on Permalink
Kevin, the "leap of logic"
Kevin, the "leap of logic" is the warmers who are trying to distance themselves from the NASA data. The NASA data error was a simple oversight but with large significance to the US historical record.
However, the real questions are about the integrity of the USHCN network. Both the NOAA and NASA largely rely on this network for their data and it is the network itself which may have serious problems with it, affecting both the NOAA's and NASA's data. The NOAA's records will likely be scrutinized next.
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
... and that's science
Scientific knowledge is always being refined Paul and NOAA's data should be scrutinized. Why would anyone need to distance themselves from the minor NASA correction?
It was minor and regional. This correction in no way effects the startling upward trend in global temperatures.
Paul S replied on Permalink
First off, the correction
First off, the correction was not minor. It lowered warming in the USA over the last 100 years by about 20%.
The second issue is the quality of surface sites in vast regions of the world like China and Africa which are possibly suspect.
I agree that with you that climate data should be scrutinized more closely.
Now you sound like the guys who claim the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere is so small that doubling the level won't make any difference. Percentages mean nothing out of context. Even what's-his-name agrees that the changes in the NASA numbers are "statistically meaningless."
Paul S replied on Permalink
Reducing the warming in the
Reducing the warming in the USA by 20% with one simple correction is statistically meaningful. The next step is examining the "quality" historical records of China and Africa. Who knows what will turn up there if a proper independent analysis of the data is done.
Where's your evidence for a
Where's your evidence for a 20% reduction? Sounds way out of whack to me.
Kevin Grandia replied on Permalink
Reduce warming by 20%
What? The correction was .15 of single degree for the years 2000 to 2006.
As far as how this effects GLOBAL temperature data, Gavin Schmidt from NASA rightly points out: "In the global or hemispheric mean, the differences were imperceptible (since the US is only a small fraction of the global area)."
Paul S replied on Permalink
Kevin, the correction of the
Kevin, the correction of the error discovered by Steve McIntyre was to the US data. A .15 degree lowering of US temperature over the short period of 6 years is very significant and lowers the historical record of US warming by nearly 20%.
Yes, the US is a small fraction of the worlds surface, approx. 2% of the world's surface and about 6% of the world's land surface. The US also has the strongest historical surface site record.
Much of the the reported warming of the 20th century comes from much larger land masses such as Asia and Africa. A pertinent question is to ask how high a quality network those areas of the globe have had for the last 100 years.
A thorough independent analysis of other worldwide sites could well turn up significant discrepancies and corrections to their historical warming records also. Regards,
Based on what study?
"The US also has the strongest historical surface site record."
Based on what study? What comparisons were made and how? Is it better than Sweden's? Or France's? Who says?

Compared to Africa and China? Of course the US has the strongest historical surface site record. Get serious.

"Much of the the reported warming of the 20th century comes from much larger land masses such as Asia and Africa."
Wrong, unless Asia includes Siberia. Most of the reported warming comes from the Arctic (where there are weather stations). Stations in the tropics have seen some warming, but only tenths of degrees, while the Arctic has seen warming in excess of 2 to 3 C, as it is the most sensitive area to climate change.
Paul S replied on Permalink
And there were lots of
And there were lots of stations in the Arctic 100 years ago Stephen? I didn't think so.
In populated land masses, much of the warming, if the records are to be trusted, comes from land masses with the fewest reliable records such as Africa and China.
The United States, with the largest number of stations with long term data integrity (though with problems of their own) shows markedly less warming then other large land masses with poor station records.
It is for these reasons that continued scrutiny of the historical records (or lack thereof) is necessary. Regards,
What's your source for
What's your source for this?:
"…much of the warming, if the records are to be trusted, comes from land masses with the fewest reliable records such as Africa and China…"
The polar regions, especially the Arctic, are warming faster than the equator. http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2006/01/polar-amplification/

It's not my sources, it's NASA GISTEMP global records.
Station coverage for much of the last century is spartan, to say the least, for huge swaths of the earth's surface.
Where there is the best coverage, with the longest intact records, the USA, the warming is much lower for these populated areas then it is for other densely populated areas.
Excluding the Arctic for this discussion, the spartan records for large parts of the rest of the world need a second independent analysis to determine the robustness of the data and to quantify the degree of the warming trend indicated in the last century. Regards,

The new Ice Age
I can remember quite clearly a time when the big scientific story was the coming Ice Age. Time magazine did stories in the 1970's. Of course their were also stories in the 1950's and the 1910's. Then there were the global warming stories in the 1890's, 1930's, and 1990's. I'm starting to think just maybe human beings are too gullible to be at the top of the food chain. Let's turn things over to the dolphins.
Now it is the scientific
Now it is the scientific community talking about anthropogenic global warming, not some journalist out for a flashy story. The whole scientific community, including the climatologists whose job it is to study these things.
What global warming stories are you aware of from the 1890s and 1930s? You do realise, don't you, that there was a massive drought in North America in the 1930s, when there were some high temperatures. Aren't you worried that our rising temperatures now will cause another such ecological disaster? And, since this time it's caused by our human activities which are not slowing down, that it will not be relieved in a few years?
Quite interesting
It interests me that while the popular press has jumped on the "coming Ice Age" stories etc that you cite, there has been a gradual and steady (but largely unreported) development of scientific understanding of the impact of CO2 & the potential for AGW going back to 1896. I found this site very useful ; http://www.aip.org/history/climate/summary.htm
Ian Forrester replied on Permalink
How come the satellite data and surface temps agree?
Paul, if as you seem to be suggesting, that the surface temperatures are so unreliable that they are meaningless, how come the surface data agree so well with two different sets of satellite data? This is clearly illustrated in the attached figure:

Chad replied on Permalink
Poorly argued
This is a horribly written article. It's basically one big argument by authority (a logical fallacy). Who says what about temperatures is irrelevant. You are basically handing deniers a completely valid objection when you say this regional data is not used by most climate scientists. Why don't they? What is wrong with this data?
Whether NOAA or NASA is the authority is irrelevant. You continue this logical fallacy by caring about what Steve Milloy states as if that makes a difference. What is important is (a) what the data says, and (b) the validity of the data being used. You have not presented nor scrutinized either of these in this article. If the correction is minor then provide the relevant numbers before and after the correction and show how it is minor, and explain why most climate scientist don't use this data.
It doesn't help the cause by resorting to the same tactics and poor reasoning that deniers often use. It makes your position look weaker.
Chris replied on Permalink
You said it all when you
You said it all when you said "It doesn't help the cause." I don't have a "cause." I just want the truth. When "scientists" squelch debate, they lose my vote of confidence in them.

How to Overcome Your Stalled Fitness Routine
Have you been working out consistently, eating healthy for weeks, and even started to notice changes to your body? Did you continue the same routine every day for the next couple of months, and then, all of a sudden, did your progress seemed to come to a halt? I know you're probably thinking, "What is going on?" "I was seeing results and now there has been no progress." You've officially hit a plateau. Hitting a plateau can be really frustrating (trust me, I know), but don't worry! It happens to all of us no matter what type of body we have or our fitness level. In fact, I've recently found myself in the same situation, but I'm slowly getting back on track. I hope you find these tips helpful to get you through your stalled fitness routine!
Breathe - I know it sounds silly, but hear me out. Sometimes we don't see results, or we feel like our fitness routine isn't working. So, we most likely find ourselves taking the easy route and deciding to give up. Take a deep breath and remind yourself of the reason behind your fitness goals, whether it's to lose that last five pounds or to run that 5K in under 30 minutes. You need to focus on what you've been working so hard for and do not let a few bad days be the reason to stop. Here's a great example: this past weekend my cheat meal turned from one day into THREE days, and I went completely off track with my fitness routine. Instead of feeling disappointed in myself and starting over, I took a deep breath and said, "I will keep going." I truly believe it starts all in the mind. If you truly believe that your body is capable of doing something, that's what matters most!
Let Your Body Rest - When doing circuits or performing any type of exercise, proper rest is extremely important to help you reach your fitness goals. Resting is essential to allowing your muscles the chance to recover. If you are working out relentlessly without giving yourself a rest day every few days, that can be a reason why you are no longer seeing any results!
Change Your Workout Routine - If you are used to doing the same exact fitness routine week after week, it may be time to switch things up! Adding variety to your workouts will help prevent your exercises from becoming ineffective. 9Round is the gym to go to if you are searching for a different type of workout each and every time you visit. 9Round is known for their unique workouts that are constantly changing each and every day to keep your workouts effective and you excited and looking forward to your workout.
Identify Your Weak Point- Everyone has muscles or parts of their body that are strong and weak. For example, my legs have always been pretty strong. It takes more work for me to build muscle and strength in my arms and abdominal area. Find your weak link and strengthen it to make your muscles work harder and grow faster. During my workouts, I love the round kicks, squats and lunges (some may think I'm crazy), but I don't look forward to punching it out on the bag for 30 seconds. Why? Because I know my arms aren't as strong as I'd like them to be. So, when the 30 second bell rings - I give it my all. I punch as hard and fast as I can to make sure that I'm really working all the different muscles in my arms and shoulders.
Wear a Heart Rate Monitor - I know everyone is familiar with what heart rate monitors are, but most of us are unaware of the importance of wearing one during our workouts. I absolutely love my MYZONE Heart Rate Monitor. I use it during every 9Round workout and even when I go for my runs during the week. With my monitor, I am able to see how much effort (or not) that I am putting into my exercise. If I'm in the "blue zone," I know it's time to kick it up a notch, if I want to continue seeing results! MYZONE provides instant and ongoing feedback helping people get in shape and stay active anywhere.

Greetings all my missed friends here --- after three years or so of rejoining those few folks in the present world , turning off the phone , computer access and tv , I've been linked in temporarily by a roommate change , and have been catching up on the changes here tonight - gosh am I impressed with the info /growth here ect - truly big changes for the goood applause to all who worked to bring this about.
Me - that big break with techno was good in many ways ; time spent in the garden gaining great strides in strength , flexability ect , time walking my bichon f. winter rains and 100 degree days , has lead to endurance I'd not had for years ! and greater independance ,less pain ect = Lots of great books , in sum really great time , and a longing here and there for the family here too .
today for the second week in a row - I was able to hike about 4 miles round trip out on a fabulous wild flower mountian with much lava rock underfoot /and steeep drainage channels up and down and around --- clear out to a special deep pool of water , where beautiful newts , are currently tending their egg sacks for the three /four week incubation /hatching cycle ( then the reclusive adults disapear for a year again in the lava rock jumble )-- the wild flower so thick you step on 100 at every step no matter where you are (except the lava tops of the worn away mountian ridge tops ). -- fabulous day at 70 , and SO astounding /unthinkable to me I could ever try to accomplish a year after decompression -much less some 15 years later or so ! ( just to fess up / I've hit 60 now , and decompression was 97, my EDS/ and MS still progress in impacts in some ways ===but gosh durn I remain sooooo much better / than I could ever have deserved or dreamed off -- true blessings with the challenges .
ok - enough - I do hope to drop in a bit whilst the roommate is here , ( it may become easier as he intends to put my computer online soon - this is his I'm using ( and no ----no romance , a friend - nice fellow willing to stay here to come to my rescue at those rough nights I wake having fliped onto my back in sleep /and both arms =trunk =neck ect is dead numb /impossible to get myself up= to restore blood flow /sensation and movement ( yikes ) lol = so someone here - willing to come is a blessing
I didn't mean to imply in my glee of newt /flower rambles all is fine --yet it's soooo sooo much better truthfully = I'm blessed , greatful , and tickled to think of reconnecting with old friends here .

CBOE Holdings Inc. delayed the open for trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange after experiencing system problems.
The exchange, the biggest U.S. options market by volume, did not say when it expected to start, according to an e-mailed statement at 11:50 a.m. New York time. CBOE accounted for 25.3 percent of options trading this month, according to data compiled by Chicago-based Options Clearing Corp.
"We are doing zero business," Greg Richards, who trades VIX and S&P 500 options as an institutional broker at Chicago- based PTR Inc. on the CBOE floor, said in an interview. "It is not good for the CBOE in a competitive atmosphere."
The delay highlights the fragility of U.S. equity exchanges in a week when a false report of explosions at the White House briefly wiped out $136 billion from the S&P 500 in about two minutes. CBOE is the exclusive venue for options based on the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the so-called VIX gauge of volatility.
Gail Osten, a spokeswoman for the Chicago-based market operator, didn't immediately return an email asking for a comment on the delays. CBOE shares added 0.3 percent to $36.56 at 11:55 a.m. in New York.
Bill Brodsky, chairman and chief executive officer of CBOE Holdings, and Ed Provost, chief business development officer, were not commenting on the outage as they gathered outside the Green Valley Ranch Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nevada where they are attending the annual Options Industry Conference. Provost is scheduled to speak at a panel debate at 1:10 pm New York time.
SEC Monitoring
"As is our practice, we are monitoring the situation," said John Nester, a spokesman at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
CBOE Futures Exchange, C2 Options Exchange and CBOE Stock Exchange are operational, the company said. The company runs two options markets, a stock exchange and a futures bourse.
CBOE published its first notice about technical problems experienced by users trying to download products listed on its main trading venue and CBOE Futures Exchange at 8:18 a.m. New York time.
The exchange initially planned to start trading at 10:15 a.m., 45 minutes after it normally begins, and delayed that by five minutes. At 10:21 a.m. it canceled that plan. At 11:07 a.m., it said no opening time had been determined for the Chicago Board Options Exchange.
Computer Problems
CBOE had a computer problem that halted trading for about two and a half hours in February 2000. The exchange's trading systems malfunctioned in November 2007 and disrupted trading for about an hour. A power failure also shut the exchange for 35 minutes in August 1999.
The second-largest of 11 U.S. options exchanges is the only place where options on the S&P 500, one of the most-active products, change hands. The next largest exchange is Nasdaq OMX PHLX, with 15.7 percent of volume. C2 represented 2.4 percent of total options trading this month.
"There is no alternative to VIX other than over the counter trading," Mark Sebastian, director of education at Option Pit Mentoring in Chicago, said in an interview. "This makes hedging very difficult."
An average of almost 165,000 VIX futures traded daily this year, the most since the contracts started in 2004 and 73 percent more than in 2012, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. A record 449,955 contracts changed hands April 15.
