Ashes 2013: Alastair Cook - making of an England batting great

When Alastair Cook's prowess as a choirboy won him a music scholarship to Bedford School, his brief was to sing rather than to bat.
But all that changed one summer's day in 1998 when Marylebone Cricket Club turned up for a match against the Bedford first XI one player short.
Fourteen-year-old Cook, already a promising club cricketer, was drafted in as an emergency replacement and proceeded to score a century.
The innings was the harbinger of a prodigious talent that saw him go on to shatter Bedford's batting records, establish himself in the Essex first team at the age of 18 and as an England opener at 21.
Now, as he prepares to captain England in the Ashes against Australia, which start on Wednesday, it is fascinating to go back to Cook's school years - before the 7,524 Test runs, the 25 centuries and the countless accolades - to examine the evolution of a modern-day batting great.
During those prolific years at Bedford, the best seat in the house was reserved for Will Notley, Cook's partner at the top of the batting order.
Notley picks up the story from the aftermath of the MCC match, when Cook was immediately promoted to the first XI, which meant competing against boys four years his senior.
"He was a lot smaller back then and a lot slighter," explains Notley. "He wasn't 6ft 2in like he is now and he got a lot of grief because he struggled to hit the ball off the square.
"But what he lacked in strength he made up for in temperament. He was quite unflappable and as a 14-year-old playing against 18-year-olds you have to have some pretty good concentration.
"He's always been good off the back foot, so he is at home cutting and pulling. All the 18-year-olds would try to bounce him out and he would just hook them for four."
One of Cook's greatest attributes is his ability to score heavily in sweltering conditions. Reputed to sweat less than any other member of the England team, five of his six highest Test scores have come in Brisbane, Kolkata, Sydney, Ahmedabad and Chittagong.
As Notley explains, Cook's ability to thrive in the heat was in evidence when they played together at a tournament in Barbados at the age of 15.
"Cooky batted well through the whole competition, scored a couple of hundreds and kept his concentration amazingly well in quite intense heat," says Notley.
"He puffed and panted like the rest of us, but he had a determination not to get out, just like he does now."
By the time Cook reached the sixth form, he was a member of the Essex Academy and being groomed for life in professional cricket.
Every morning, Bedford coach and former England batsman Derek Randall would get on the first train from Nottingham to run fitness sessions and bowling machines with his protege before breakfast.
Meanwhile, out in the middle, Cook - with Notley in his slipstream - was starting to go through the gears.
In the lower sixth, he scored more than 1,100 runs, including five consecutive hundreds, and was picked out in Wisden as "one to watch". The following summer, his tally of 1,287 included two double hundreds and broke a school record that had stood since the early 1980s.
Over the two years, Cook and Notley's average opening partnership was 126. Their finest hour came in the upper sixth against Gordonstoun - another independent school renowned for sporting achievement - when they batted for the full 50 overs to put on 333, a record opening stand in schoolboy cricket at the time.
During the partnership, which saw Cook finish on 206 and Notley 111, Cook revealed a trait that has characterised many a great batsman - greed.
"Cook scored almost double the runs I got against Gordonstoun, but part of the reason was that he farmed the strike so well," recalls Notley.
"There was a period in the middle of the innings where he had five consecutive overs. I faced nothing in that period and eventually stopped talking to him between overs as a kind of friendly protest.
"We started talking between overs again once we went through 300 though, which also brought up my century."
Inevitably, there were times when Notley failed to stay the course and simply had to marvel at the blend of mental strength and technical skill that have served Cook so well in an England shirt.
"We could be three down for not many, chasing 280, and he would steer it through, scoring 150 to win us the game," he adds.
"He did it so often that we always knew he was going to go on, but to reach the level he has now, we couldn't predict that."
Away from the cricket field, Notley describes Cook as "one of the boys" who would enjoy a beer and "dossed around in economics lessons like the rest of us".
After leaving school with three A-levels, Cook was drafted straight into the Essex first team, while Notley went to university to read architecture.
The pair have remained close friends, occasionally meeting up after Cook's matches in London or at old boys' functions at the school.
In 2010, Cook even made a special trip to Bedford between Test matches to congratulate James Kettleborough as he eclipsed Cook's own school record. "Even though he had 4,500 Test runs at the time, I think he was secretly quite annoyed that it had been broken," says Notley.
Kettleborough, 20, made his Northants debut this season after signing from minor county Bedfordshire.
As for Cook's former accomplice Notley, he recently qualified as an architect and plays for Hornsey Cricket Club in north London at weekends.
Having long given up hope of following his friend into professional cricket, he still dines out on his schoolboy exploits with the England skipper.
"I think I outscored him 10 times and I certainly get a lot of pleasure from telling the lads that," he says. "Mind you, the way I've been batting this season, I think they are beginning to wonder if I made it all up."
Live radio commentary from Test Match Special (TMS) on the Ashes will be available on BBC Radio 4 LW and BBC Radio 5 live sports extra, the BBC Sport website and via the BBC Sport app and iPlayer radio app.

UH Manoa employee Charles Nelson named state employee of the year
Second straight year a UH employee wins top state honorUniversity of Hawaiʻi
Kristen Bonilla, (808) 956-5039
External Affairs & University Relations
Governor Lingle announced this year's top employee, manager and departmental team at the annual Governor's Awards Ceremony. The winners were selected from 51 exceptional group and individual nominees, including 17 teams made up of 198 state employees.
This is the second straight year that a UH employee has taken the top honor. John Awakuni, a fiscal officer at UH Mānoa, received last year's state employee of the year award.
"I extend my sincerest congratulations and appreciation to Charles for his contributions to the university and the State of Hawaiʻi," said UH President David McClain. "Two years in a row now, a UH employee has been honored by the Governor, and this is a testament to the excellent staff we have throughout the University of Hawaiʻi system who everyday provide outstanding service to our students, faculty and community."
Nelson was selected to represent the University of Hawaiʻi for his efforts in designing and building devices that make research, extension and instruction projects possible for the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR).
His hard work and creativity have developed many technologies that benefit Hawaiʻi's people and environment, such as disinfestations machines that help growers combat invasive pests and biological treatment systems that clean contaminated dairy wastewater at CTAHR's livestock farm on Oʻahu's North Shore and at a commercial Oʻahu dairy.
"Charles' dedication and ingenuity have produced new technologies that benefit Hawaiʻi's people and protect our environment," said the Governor.
Nelson is committed to lifelong learning and applies his knowledge and skills to developing MBBE's website, setting up the department's server, maintaining the student computer lab, and training students to use the shop's machine equipment safely. Also, following the 2004 Mānoa flood, he volunteered for important and time-consuming responsibilities that were crucial to the university's recovery efforts.
A volunteer selection committee of five individuals from non-state government organizations reviewed the 51 nomination packets and rated them according to defined categories. The committee then presented its recommendations for the three awards to Governor Lingle.
Established in 1907 and fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the University of Hawaiʻi is the state's sole public system of higher education. The UH System provides an array of undergraduate, graduate, and professional degrees and community programs on 10 campuses and through educational, training, and research centers across the state. UH enrolls more than 50,000 students from Hawaiʻi, the U.S. mainland, and around the world. For more information, visit www.hawaii.edu .

It's so easy and kid friendly. I can't ask for more!

The recipe is good, you need to add a few extra spices to get the flavor you like, but besides that it is good.
May 12, 2010
I made this recipe when it first appeared in TOH several years ago. I liked it, and I think I may make a few changes when I serve it again. The meat mixture was a tad bland, so I'll add some garlic powder and steak seasoning. I'd also like to try using sweet potato in place of the carrots.

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
As we reached the busiest time of year in the jungle with all beds taken at Taricaya it was no surprise that we got a huge amount done in the last few weeks. As the rains disappeared and water levels dropped, the rainforest becomes a very harsh environment for so many of its residents. Water becomes scarcer, competition fiercer and animals must travel greater distances just to find enough food to survive. This is good news for us though as animals on the move are easier to spot and we have had some great sightings on the trails and recorded by the sensor cameras. Elsewhere we completed the new puma enclosure, built a new observation platform, started the turtle project, visited Palm Real and much more…!
Before I discuss any of the above I must report on one of the most satisfying experiences of my 15 years in the Amazon rainforest. Most of you will know that we have been working tirelessly over recent years to successfully reintroduce wild animals back into their natural habitat. We have had some amazing successes and great rewards from this hard work. Last year when we had our first successful captive birth in the form of a young male tapir (Tapirus terrestris) we had reached a pinnacle of our work. What we saw this month took us to new heights!
Whilst deep in the reserve monitoring our third release group of black spider monkeys (Ateles chamek) we were amazed when our second group of six monkeys, released 18 months ago, moved down out of the canopy and began to interact with the newcomers- albeit tentatively. We had tracked the third group using unique radio frequencies from their individual collars but the second group did not have any collars for tracking so this was the first we had seen or heard of them in over 9 months when they headed deep into the national park and away from any human contact. To our astonishment and joy not only was the group intact but it was one more than when we last saw it! The first ever recorded wild birth of black spider monkeys that have been released and rehabilitated. This news is simply mind blowing. It means that all our work; from nurturing abandoned babies by hand; reintegrating them with other members of the species in the rescue centre; transferring them to a pre-release enclosure and establishing a group dynamic prior to release has proved the right formula. Our released troops of spider monkeys are not only surviving but are demonstrating that given time and protection they could well become a common sight in areas of the Amazon where their distinctive calls have long been absent. Fantastic!
Enough on the release program for now. It is the time of year when we dust off the tents, clean out the buckets and start camping downriver on our designated island. Every year, since 2005, the Peruvian government has awarded us custody of a large island where it is our responsibility to prevent illegal poaching of the coveted eggs of the freshwater turtle known locally as the "Taricaya". Podocnemis uniflis is the most widespread freshwater turtle in South America found in Colombia, Brazil, Bolivia, Venezuela….and, of course, Peru! Over the years we have perfected nest collecting techniques, designs for the artificial beaches and fine-tuned the data we must record. To date we have released over 7000 baby turtles back into the wild and the specific codes that we mark on their shells have enabled us to identify some individuals as many as 6 years after release. Turtles in general have many specific criteria which add up to ideal egg-laying conditions. The "Taricaya" is no exception and would appear to be even fussier about what constitutes the right time to come ashore and lay their eggs. Sand temperature and texture, water levels, lunar cycles, air temperature and humidity- all of these factors appear to influence whether a female is happy enough to dig her nest. Whilst we have perfected our collection methods and have assured survival rates from our artificial beaches as high as 85% we cannot control if and when the females will appear.
This year has been very frustrating as we have been struck by some very cold weather spells (friajes) which have discouraged females from laying their eggs. We lost almost 10 days to one of these "friajes" where the temperature dropped to 8°C. This is freakishly cold for the jungle and seems to have pushed the season right back. Normally the laying season ends late August but we are still monitoring the beaches and collecting eggs and to date we have 32 nests successfully relocated in Taricaya. I just hope that the females that have yet to come ashore do so later as opposed to aborting their clutches in the rivers which is a common response should conditions not meet their requirements.
An exciting addition to our turtle project this year was an agreement signed with The Bahuaja-Sonene National Park on the Peruvian side of the Bolivian border. This huge jungle area is limited by the beautiful Heath River which acts as a natural border between the two countries. For many generations the Ese-eja natives from the Sonene and Palma Real communities have extracted tens of thousands of Taricaya eggs from the Heath River. Whilst this is technically illegal it is very hard to enforce on native communities who lay claims to the land before such things as national parks ever existed. For many years the park rangers have been forced to turn a blind eye as boat loads of eggs are moved down the Heath and then up to \Puerto Maldonado for sale. We have tried looking for a solution to this problem but to no avail, until this year! We were approached by the school director from Palm Real who asked us if we would like to work with them based on our pilot turtle project from 3 years ago. Naturally, we agreed. This time however we decided that we must get more involved in the collection phase and get a physical presence in the national park. This way we could ensure that all the eggs were collected properly and looked after so as to be fertile when finally relocated into the artificial beaches. After many meetings and signing of agreements I am proud to report that we sent a pilot research team up the Heath river to collect 72 turtle nests for relocation to Palma Real and the Taricaya.
The team consisted of two Ese-eja natives from Palma Real, two park rangers, a boat driver, two volunteers from Taricaya and our turtle expert Daniel Neira. They spent four days following this beautiful river, camping on its banks and collecting the required number of nests. Whilst 72 nests might not appear a huge number in the grand scheme of things the fact that we coordinated an expedition to involve the Parks service and native communities working in tandem is a great achievement and sets a precedent for years to come. The community will be rewarded when the eggs hatch and when we release the young turtles back into their rivers we hope the visual impact will trigger an even more positive response next year. More to follow on this in the coming months…
Back at Taricaya we were hard at work building a new enclosure for our young puma (Puma concolor). The six month old male is already weighing close to 30 kilos and we needed to build a larger more secure cage. The baking sun and sweat flies were a constant nuisance but with so many volunteers we were able to rotate the work duties and the beautiful 10x6x3 enclosure will be ready for use in the first few days of September. It is immensely satisfying building something from nothing and I must thank all the volunteers and staff for completing the task in such short time. Next month we must start remodelling our small cat enclosures as the elements have taken their toll and we do not want any unauthorised releases on our hands!
Our second farm plot downriver from the reserve is starting to produce bananas as we were able to get stuck in and clean out all the weeds that were strangling the long established banana trees. This abandoned farm was once very productive before being abandoned for many years and as such we wish to bring it back to life. This will help reduce costs in both our animal and human food budgets and we have already started planting other species in an attempt to create a successful poly-culture similar to that which we have established for many years with our original pilot farm. Whilst working on this plot we noticed a huge variety of different bird species in the area. Many of these species are not common in Taricaya as they are specialists and migrants that prefer open areas and secondary forest. With our bird inventory already surpassing 450 species it is imperative we investigate this type of habitat previously unavailable to us. So, as usual, in no time at all we decided to build an observation platform bang in the middle of the farm. As opposed to using wood we have built a metal structure using poles and bolts, much like scaffolding. The advantage to this is that it is resistant to the heat and humidity and can be dissembled and moved to another area when the trees grow too tall and block our view. I look forward to reporting on some great sightings over the coming months as whilst building it we were graced by low flying blue-and-yellow macaws (Ara ararauna), flocks of parrots and parakeets and an inquisitive yellow-tufted woodpecker (Melanerpes cruentatus).
Our sensor cameras are constantly snapping photos around the reserve and this month we were able to capture 8 species of mammal and 4 species of bird on film. The best sightings were a foraging group of South American coatis (Nasua nasua) and a pair of Spix's guans (Penelope spixi).
Finally I would like to bring you all up to date on our entomology project and its initial findings. Since March this year we have employed a young Spanish entomologist Salvador. He has quickly settled in to the routine of Taricaya and volunteers have quickly taken to the insect walks where they wander the forest collecting any insects they come across using nets and plastic containers. With Insects being the largest group of animals on the planet and the tropical rainforest the world's most diverse ecosystem one can imagine the difficulty in positively identifying everything you encounter. It is a Herculean task and I would not be at all surprised if we already have something new and bizarre to science awaiting identification. We have some fairly extensive research on butterflies (Lepidoptera) and dung beetles (branch of Coleoptera) but the rest is new territory for us. Salvador has hundreds of specimens awaiting inspection but to date has produced a list which includes 15 Orders and 84 Families of insect with the Hemiptera (bugs) being his most common findings thus far!
I must sign off for now but next time I hope to bring you the final total for our turtle project collection, photos of the completed cages and platforms and all the updates from our on-going research in the depths of the Peruvian Amazon.
Until then…

Bubba's Bayou City Grill
IAH Airport, 2800 N Terminal Rd
Houston, TX
(281) 230-3100
Having just finished watching an hour long television interview featuring George W. Bush, I thought it would be fitting to upload a short post from a recent stop over at Houston's second airport, better known as George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IATA code: IAH), which is named after his father. The facility is one of the busiest in the nation, ranking in the top ten in terms of overall passenger traffic and destination servicing. Being a first time traveler through IAH, I was surprised that is was laid out in a very simple way, making some time killing an easy activity, as each of the major terminals were within decent reach. Fortunately, my connecting flight was within the same terminal area, and I came back after some strolling and book shopping, to find a spot for lunch near by next gate.
Where I ended up had a mix of options. One was more of a cafeteria-style enterprise, that had an intriguing barbecue section. But trying to limit my first ever Texas barbecue experience to something more impressive, I turned my back to that place and into my field of view came Bubba's Bayou City Grill. As it was Sunday afternoon, a full slate of NFL games were on the big screens inside and after a quick glance at their lunch offerings that had actual dishes wrapped in plastic and set outside on the table, it was an easy pick. I wanted to watch the games and be able to sit down and spent about 45 minutes before my next boarding time.

This excellent picture was taken in 2008 which leaves us wondering if the old convertible is still around. Anyone in or around NYC know where this picture was taken and if the Cadillac is still there?

Call it the battle of the big screens. Earlier this year, 50-inch plasma TVs crossed into a new realm of clarity when Pioneer introduced its Pro-FHD1 with 1080p native resolution. That model garnered good reviews from industry mags--and CNET is expecting to review one soon as well, whenever they decide to finally send it our way--but unfortunately, it brandished a price point reminiscent of plasma TVs circa 2001: $10,000 list.
Now primary plasma purveyor Panasonic has answered the challenge with the first 50-inch model of its own in that resolution, the TH-50PF9UK, for November release at $5,995. It falls in the company's professional line, meaning that it lacks speakers, a stand, a tuner, and all of that other fluff that HD diehards consider unnecessary. As with the lower-resolution TH-50PH9UK, which performed very well in our recent review, the new 1080p model will make you purchase any of those "extras" separately. Check out the TH-50PH9UK review for details, or just watch the video of last year's models.
In case you're wallpapering your palace or outfitting a TV studio to provide NFL pregame coverage, you may also be interested in the company's other sizes of 1080p professional plasma: the 65-inch TH-65PF9UK ($10,995 list) and the 103-inch TH-103PF9UK ($69,999). Cough. All three of these new sets include a DVI input and a component-video input, both of which can handle 1080p sources, and of course you can purchase additional inputs, such as HDMI, at your leisure. Panasonic's press release also mentions that you can "control up to 128 plasmas simultaneously from a single location." We'll be sure to test that capability that when they send us the $8,959,872 worth of review samples.

Antivirus Makers Struggle to Keep Up
(NICOLE PERLROTH New York Times) The antivirus industry has a dirty little secret: its products are often not very good at stopping viruses.
Consumers and businesses spend billions of dollars every year on antivirus software. But these programs rarely, if ever, block freshly minted computer viruses, experts say, because the virus creators move too quickly. That is prompting start-ups and other companies to get creative about new approaches to computer security.
"The bad guys are always trying to be a step ahead," said Matthew D. Howard, a venture capitalist at Norwest Venture Partners who previously set up the security strategy at Cisco Systems. "And it doesn't take a lot to be a step ahead."
Computer viruses used to be the domain of digital mischief makers. But in the mid-2000s, when criminals discovered that malicious software could be profitable, the number of new viruses began to grow exponentially.
In 2000, there were fewer than a million new strains of malware, most of them the work of amateurs. By 2010, there were 49 million new strains, according to AV-Test, a German research institute that tests antivirus products.
The antivirus industry has grown as well, but experts say it is falling behind. By the time its products are able to block new viruses, it is often too late. The bad guys have already had their fun, siphoning out a company's trade secrets, erasing data or emptying a consumer's bank account.
A new study by Imperva, a data security firm in Redwood City, Calif., and students from the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology is the latest confirmation of this. Amichai Shulman, Imperva's chief technology officer, and a group of researchers collected and analyzed 82 new computer viruses and put them up against more than 40 antivirus products, made by top companies like Microsoft, Symantec, McAfee and Kaspersky Lab. They found that the initial detection rate was less than 5 percent.
On average, it took almost a month for antivirus products to update their detection mechanisms and spot the new viruses. And two of the products with the best detection rates — Avast and Emsisoft — are available free; users are encouraged to pay for additional features. This despite the fact that consumers and businesses spent a combined $7.4 billion on antivirus software last year — nearly half of the $17.7 billion spent on security software in 2011, according to Gartner.
"Existing methodologies we've been protecting ourselves with have lost their efficacy," said Ted Schlein, a security-focused investment partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. "This study is just another indicator of that. But the whole concept of detecting what is bad is a broken concept."
Part of the problem is that antivirus products are inherently reactive. Just as medical researchers have to study a virus before they can create a vaccine, antivirus makers must capture a computer virus, take it apart and identify its "signature" — unique signs in its code — before they can write a program that removes it.
That process can take as little as a few hours or as long as several years. In May, researchers at Kaspersky Lab discovered Flame, a complex piece of malware that had been stealing data from computers for an estimated five years.
Mikko H. Hypponen, chief researcher at F-Secure, called Flame "a spectacular failure" for the antivirus industry. "We really should have been able to do better," he wrote in an essay for Wired.com after Flame's discovery. "But we didn't. We were out of our league in our own game."
Symantec and McAfee, which built their businesses on antivirus products, have begun to acknowledge their limitations and to try new approaches. The word "antivirus" does not appear once on their home pages. Symantec rebranded its popular antivirus packages: its consumer product is now called Norton Internet Security, and its corporate offering is now Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Imperva, which sponsored the antivirus study, has a horse in this race. Its Web application and data security software are part of a wave of products that look at security in a new way. Instead of simply blocking what is bad, as antivirus programs and perimeter firewalls are designed to do, Imperva monitors access to servers, databases and files for suspicious activity.
The day companies unplug their antivirus software is still far off, but entrepreneurs and investors are betting that the old tools will become relics.
"The game has changed from the attacker's standpoint," said Phil Hochmuth, a Web security analyst at the research firm International Data Corporation. "The traditional signature-based method of detecting malware is not keeping up."
Investors are backing a new crop of start-ups that turn the whole notion of security on its head. If it is no longer possible to block everything that is bad, the thinking goes, then the security companies of the future will be the ones whose software can spot unusual behavior and clean up systems once they have been breached.
The hottest security start-ups today are companies like Bit9, Bromium, FireEye and Seculert that monitor Internet traffic, and companies like Mandiant and CrowdStrike that have expertise in cleaning up after an attack.
Bit9, which received more than $70 million in financing from top venture firms like Kleiner Perkins and Sequoia Capital, uses an approach known as whitelisting, allowing only traffic that the system knows is innocuous.
McAfee acquired Solidcore, a whitelisting start-up, in 2009, and Symantec's products now include its Insight technology, which is similar in that it does not let any unknown files run on a machine.
McAfee's former chief executive, David G. DeWalt, was rumored to be a contender for the top job at Intel, which acquired McAfee in 2010. Instead, he joined FireEye, a start-up with a system that isolates a company's applications in virtual containers, then looks for suspicious activity in a sort of digital petri dish before deciding whether to let traffic through.
The company has received more than $35 million in financing from Norwest, Sequoia Capital and In-Q-Tel, the venture arm of the Central Intelligence Agency, among others.
Seculert, an Israeli start-up, approaches the problem somewhat differently. It looks at where threats are coming from — the command and control centers used to coordinate attacks — to give governments and businesses an early warning system. As the number of prominent online attacks rises, analysts and venture capitalists are betting that corporate spending patterns will change.
"Technologies that once were only used by very sensitive industries like finance are moving into the mainstream," Mr. Hochmuth said. "Very soon, if you are not running these technologies and you're a security professional, your colleagues and counterparts will start to look at you funny."
Companies have started working from the assumption that they will be hacked, Mr. Hochmuth said, and that when they are, they will need top-notch cleanup crews. Mandiant, which specializes in data forensics and responding to breaches, has received $70 million from Kleiner Perkins and One Equity Partners, JPMorgan Chase's private investment arm.
Two McAfee executives, George Kurtz and Dmitri Alperovitch, left to start CrowdStrike, a start-up that offers a similar forensics service. Less than a year later, they have already raised $26 million from Warburg Pincus.
If and when antivirus makers are able to fortify desktop computers, chances are the criminals will have already moved on to smartphones.
In October, the F.B.I. warned that a number of malicious apps were compromising Android devices. And in July, Kaspersky Lab discovered the first malicious app in Apple's app store. The Defense Department has called for companies and universities to find ways to protect mobile devices from malware. McAfee, Symantec and others are working on solutions, and Lookout, a start-up whose products scan apps for malware and viruses, recently raised funding that valued it at $1 billion.

Burger King has pulled its controversial ad in which Mary J. Blige waxes musical about chicken wraps — but its reasons aren't what you think, the fast food giant says.
Critics of the spot — and there are plenty — say it reinforces racist stereotypes linking black Americans with fried chicken.
But according to Burger King, it pulled the ad from its YouTube channel not because of the backlash but because of "a licensing issue."
U.S. & World
The ads feature Blige on a Burger King tabletop crooning about the ingredients of the fast-food chain's crispy chicken snack wraps to the tune of her song "Don't Mind," MSNBC's The Clicker reported.
The company said it hoped to have the ad back soon but did not say whether there would be changes made to it.
The commercial is part of Burger King's ad campaign for healthier new menu items.

The Moon in Coll (Hazel) is almost full. The connection of a sacred tree to each Moon cycle offers us time during the year to remember the beauty, the sustenance and the power we receive from their way of being in the world.
On Sunday, August 10 the full Moon will celebrate Hazel, and the constellation Aquarius. Hazel is the tree favored by those who dowse for underground water sources because it is pliant and has an association to water. This tree is the guide to poetic inspiration, divination and leads us to our source. In Celtic Lore, the Salmon of Wisdom, known as the oldest animal eats the hazel nuts which fall into his pool, the Well of Segais. Within each of us is a still pool where we can draw wisdom and poetry fed by sources of nature.
This full Moon's sign of Aquarius is the Water Bearer. It is an airy sign despite the connection to water. Moon in Aquarius in a natal chart drives an urge to be an individual, to move out of stereotypes of the culture of birth, and to find home and sustenance in the groups and organizations that feel most simpatico. The sign of the Moon signifies how we like to be nurtured and how we nurture others. An Aquarian Moon encourages freedom, and works best when given autonomy. If your Moon was in Aquarius at birth, this full Moon gives you the joyful opportunity to react to the world around you in whatever way feels most authentic. Since Aquarius is the sign connected to astrology, we can all revel in the ancient and still vibrant combination of art and science of the stars and planets.
Saturn, the planet who sometimes represents 'social rigidity' is square to the Sun and Moon's line of opposition. Yet, when we fully embrace Saturn's demands for responsibility, we gain his power to manifest our talent and truth. The Sabian Symbol for this degree is 'A Path Through Woods Brilliant with Multicolored Splendor.'
Uranus the revolutionary spark is trine to the Sun and sextile to the Moon. Expect his flow of energy to be part of the full Moon's impact on all of us. A full Moon on a summer night will always pull us into a cosmic dance, and this Moon further explodes with Uranus energy. Saturn and Uranus are the traditional rulers of Aquarius, the Moon's sign. The contradictory themes of Saturn and Uranus that describe Aquarian energy, and which are active in this chart of the full Moon will be felt by each of us in our own way.
Don't ignore the contradictory messages of this moment. Saturn speaks of stability and the need to be consistent and well grounded. Saturn in Scorpio is scrupulous about what is important and what must be jettisoned. Uranus in Aries wants to establish revolution through forceful action
The Sun in Leo has just passed the season of Lughnasadh. The fires of Lughnasadh are reflected in the Sabian Symbol for the Moon: 'A Forest Fire is being Subdued by the Use of Water,Chemicals and the Sheer Muscular Energy.' The meaning of this image is our potential to face unexpected reactions from our most innocent acts. This chart of the moment of the full Moon speaks to our need to be conscious of our power to create change in situations, which may seem to be out of our control.
We are in the height of summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, yet know we are moving towards the loss of light day by day. Mercury, the messenger and magician speaks for the creative energy of the Sun on this day and in this moment. It is time to speak truth as we see it. The Sabian Symbol for this degree of the Sun is 'A Houseboat Party,' Freedom from social rigidity.'
I have just returned from a location where the tides were woven into the daily pattern of life. This full Moon is also at the moment of perigee, when the Moon is closest to the earth. This provides an especially powerful pull on the tides within each of us as well as the ocean's tides. When the Moon is at perigee on a full Moon she is called a Super Moon and she is felt as a powerful source of inspiration. This will compete with the Perseaid meteor belt which will peak August 10-13. Early morning when the Moon has gone off to bed will be the best time to see them. Thursday night I watched the stars around 3:00 am. The Moon had set and the sky was clear. A large meteor burst across the sky in front of me and filled me with awe.
Each full Moon we ricochet between two signs traditionally in 'opposition.' But this is what gives the full Moon its energy and potential for evolutionary insight. This is the time of the month when we do not have to choose between contradictory needs and impulses, but can discover how to integrate them.

Jessica Gresko,
WASHINGTON (AP) — An Idaho man is facing at least 10 years in prison after acknowledging that he shot an assault rifle at the White House two years ago.
Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez pleaded guilty Wednesday to two of the 19 charges against him as a result of the shooting. As part of a plea agreement, prosecutors will drop the remaining charges. That includes the most serious charge he faced, attempting to assassinate the president, which carried a potential life sentence.
No one was injured in the shooting, but it left a number of bullet marks on the executive mansion. President Barack Obama and his wife were in California at the time of the shooting, but other members of the first family were there that night.
Prosecutors previously said Ortega-Hernandez, 22, a resident of Idaho Falls, told acquaintances before the shooting that President Obama was the Antichrist and "the devil" and that he needed to kill him. But one of his lawyers, Robert Feitel, said in a telephone interview Wednesday that his client's statements were "loose talk" and that he never had any intention to hurt anybody.
"He's really remorseful," Feitel said. "His thinking was not clear at the time."
As part of the plea agreement, Ortega-Hernandez acknowledged that on the night of Nov. 11, 201, he drove his Honda Accord to an area south of the White House and opened fire with the weapon through his lowered passenger window, firing at least eight rounds at the second and third stories of the home. Ortega-Hernandez then sped off but crashed his car a short distance away and fled on foot. He was arrested in Pennsylvania.
On Wednesday, Ortega-Hernandez pleaded guilty to one count of destruction of property and one count of discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. The second carries a 10-year mandatory minimum sentence. Federal sentencing guidelines recommend a sentence ranging from 24 to 27 ½ years. The plea agreement comes just before Ortega-Hernandez's trial was scheduled to begin on Sept. 30.
U.S. Attorney Ron Machen said in a statement that anyone who comes to Washington "planning to use violence to send a message, should expect to spend decades behind bars."

Happy Mothers' Day from Best of PubLib
Problems with PubLib
The listserves PubLib and Web4Lib have been broken for over a week now. Digests stopped going out after April 25th and receipt of individual postings is sporadic at best. Best of PubLib will review the archives, which still remain active and inclusive for the month of April and present the synopsis on Monday, May 3rd 2010.
Because the two mailing lists are distinct with parallel problems, my conclusion is the maintenance problem exists within the applications at WebJunction. The ListServe moderators have not addressed the problems on the mailing list to date.

To whom it may concern:
The real estate industry is a model of competition that works. In an economy in which large, national corporations -- such as Wal-Mart and Microsoft -- dominate the marketplace, real estate stands apart. We are an industry made up predominantly of small businesses and independent contractors who represent the entrepreneurial spirit this country was founded on.
All of us serve localized markets where we compete for business every day. Fierce competition is fueled largely by the uniquely intense and personalized nature of the service we provide to our clients -- which, in turn, determines our future success through referrals and return business.
Barriers to entry are low. If you are willing to take the time to learn the business in your local market, pass the state license examination and adhere to the REALTOR® code of ethics, there is nothing to stand in the way of success in this industry. I had to learn the business and pass the state licensing examination, but it is my own work ethic, commitment to professional standards and dedication to client satisfaction that determine my success.
I am 52 years old and have been in the business for 14 months. I am number 8 in a field of 837 in the 9 towns I work in. I compete with many and do better because I am better than they are. I provide better service and have knowledge to help my clients. If it wasn't about competition...then I could not be where I am at.
Even through the economic downturns our country has experienced in the past few years, our industry has continued to provide opportunity -- something I would say is confirmed by the thousands of new agents that join our profession every year and the over 2 million Americans who are now licensed to provide professional real estate services in communities across the country.
Nothing encourages a competitive business environment more than providing consumers with choice. In the residential real estate marketplace, consumers not only are able to choose from more than 76,000 brokerage firms and more than 1.2 million REALTORS®, but also from a variety of business models.
Kindest personal regards,

Posted: Tue Jun 07, 16 6:44 am Post subject: Bee diary - 07/06/2016
Had a very busy weekend being social so wasn't able to get into the bees. I needed to move the nuc into a full sized colony and thin out the Queen cells in the main colony.
I also needed to make up some more foundation frames, no wonder people prefer TBH's no faffing with frame pins and foundation that doesn't want to go in its nice little slots!
I'd got everything done last night and was just about to go start bee-wrangling when there was an almighty crack of thunder and the atmosphere went electric, so I decided to leave them until this morning as thundery weather = very grumpy bees as I've discovered from past experience. I also thought that it would be much cooler and fresher this morning considering we were hitting nearly 26 degree's yesterday evening.
So I've just been down, I'm very hot and clammy now as it's already very warm. I think that I'd more or less timed it with them starting to fly so there was alot of bees about.
The nuc now has a full sized brood chamber to play in and I saw eggs and the Queen working.
The main colony has so much honey on it, it's going to need a couple of supers as soon as the new Queen is laying properly. I broke down the vast amount of Queen cells to two nice big fat ones drawn out in the centre of the comb.
As I'm going away tomorrow until next Monday, I've also weakened them slightly again by pulling off another nuc with Queen cells, there was a superb looking one and a smaller one. If that doesn't do anything I'll just reunite the bee's with one of the other colonies.
I'll put some Ambrosia in the nuc this evening but they've also got a full frame of sealed honey and plenty of pollen. So that should last them.
I'm a little concerned about leaving them closed up in a poly hive for 3 days as it's so warm but I've nowhere to move them that's more than flying distance, they are more than 3ft away from the main colony but near enough to find it. They are in a nice shady spot so I think when I open them up tonight to add Ambrosia, I'll have to open the entrance hole and take the risk.

WASHINGTON: Two Air Force C-17 Globemaster IIIs have begun delivering humanitarian aid to internally displaced people in Pakistan's northwestern provinces, the chief U.S. defense representative said May 20.
For Navy Rear Adm. Michael A. Lefevre, who works out of the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, the humanitarian effort to help the estimated 2 million Pakistanis displaced by the fighting against the Taliban brings a sense of déjà vu: the admiral headed the U.S. relief effort after an earthquake in Pakistan killed 73,000 people, injured 100,000 others and displaced more than 3.5 million Pakistanis in 2005.
The U.S. government has pledged $110 million to the relief effort. Pakistani forces are battling Taliban insurgents and other terror groups in the Pakistan's federally administered tribal areas and in the Swat Valley, Buner and Dir areas. The Taliban have used the region as safe havens to plan operations against the government in Islamabad and against coalition and Afghan forces in neighboring Afghanistan.
The C-17s were sent in response to a specific request from the Pakistani government, Admiral Lefevre said. The initial request was for air-conditioned tents, water trucks and food. The C-17s brought in 40,000 packaged meals that conform to Islamic dietary requirements and 25 large tents. U.S. funds will buy water trucks, air conditioners and generators locally.
The C-17s delivered the supplies from U.S. stocks pre-positioned in Kuwait.
"The tents are key to the area," Admiral Lefevre said during a telephone news conference with Pentagon reporters. "Already it's 100 degrees here. It's very hot and steamy." The admiral said plans call for setting up tents to handle medical cases and another to treat those with heat stroke and other heat-related problems.
Roughly 200,000 to 250,000 people are in the refugee camps; the vast majority of those displaced by the fighting are living with relatives. Pakistani officials estimate that at least that many people will be in the camps through the end of the year. Overall, the number of refugees is expected to hit 2 million as the fighting approaches Mingoara, the chief city in the Swat Valley. This should happen in the next week to 10 days, Admiral Lefevre said.
Once the fighting is over, rehabilitation and rebuilding must take place, and the U.S. government will aid in that if asked, the admiral said.
Three C-17 flights are delivering 125,000 meals and 50 tents. Though plans now don't call for it, sealift support is available if needed, the admiral said.

John Avery Barclay, a son of John Barclay and Minerva Parks and nephew to George and Alexander Barclay, submitted an affidavit to the Probate Court of Dakota County, Minnesota. His sister and aunt also did the same. As a result John Avery Barclay became an heir to Alexander Barclay's estate because his father John Barclay had disappeared years ago and was presumed dead.
What follows is a mix of my research and my cousins, a descendant of this man. I thank her for sharing.
John Avery Barclay was born 23 July 1867 in Sibley Co., Minnesota per my information. His death certificate has 3 June, 1866 as his birth date signed by the hospital where he passed. He died on 8 March 1951 in Seattle, King Co., Washington.
In the 1870 U.S. Federal Census John is with his father and mother in Sibley Co., Minnesota. Please note the spelling of the name as Barkley.

Note: Why they used the name Abraham I do not know? This census gives his age as 4 years old. This means he was born 1866?
The 1880 U.S. Federal Census has John with his mother and sister in Sonoma Co., California and there is no mention of John Barclay the father.

Note: Here they state the children, John and Ella,were born in Wisconsin. This has his birth year as 1867. Minerva (Lulu) is not born in New York, not Pennsylvania.
On 27 July 1889 John Avery Barclay married Harriette Louise Arcan in Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Co., California.
Source: Marriage of John A. Bartley & Hattie Arcan, 27 July 1889, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz Co., California,
The Marriage of John Bartley native of Minnesota, aged 22 years, resident of Santa Cruz, County of Santa Cruz, State of California and Hattie Arcan native of California, age 20 years, resident of Santa Cruz, County of Santa Cruz, State of California. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the Seal of the Superior Court of said County, this 27th day of July, 1889. Ed Martin County Clerk of Superior Court of Santa Cruz by C. H. Ward Deputy Clerk.
I hereby certify that I believe the facts stated in the above License to be true and that upon due inquiry there appears to be no legal impediment of the Marriage of said John Bartley and Hattie Arcan, that said parties were joined in Marriage by me, on the twenty seventh day of July A.D. 1889 in Santa Cruz, said County and State and that Chas. F. Buchwald a resident of Santa Cruz, and county of Santa Cruz State of Calif. and Minivrina Buchwald a resident of Santa Cruz, County of Santa Cruz, State of California were present as witnesses of said Ceremony.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this twenty seventh day of July A.D. 1889 – H. Brueck Pastor of the German M.E. Church of Santa Cruz.
Filed for Record at request of H. Brueck this 29 day of July A.D. 1889 at 40 minutes past 9 o'clock am and recorded August 24, 1889. Ed. Martin.
Note: Minerva Barclay, the mother, remarried to a Charles Buchwald on 19 June 1886 in Los Angeles, California.
Harriette was the daughter of Charles Edward Arcan who was born before 1849. She was born 22 December 1871 in Santa Cruz. She died there on 21 December 1951.
Harriette Barclay, Member of Pioneer Local Family, Dies, Dec. 21, 1951.
Harriette Louise Barclay, a native of Santa Cruz and a member of the one of the early pioneer families died in San Francisco yesterday. Services are to be conducted tomorrow at 11:30 am from the mortuary of W.C. Lasswell and company, San Francisco, and interment is to take place at Mount Olivet Memorial Park. Mrs. Barclay's grandfather was John B. Arcan, who was born in Versailles, France and lived in Montreal, Canada, before coming to the United States. He lived for a time in New York, then in 1849 came across country with a party organized in Chicago, taking the southern route, across Death Valley. They made their home in Santa Cruz, owning the corner where the Bank of American now stands. There they put up a building with a second floor room which was used for dances. Charles Edward Arcan, Mrs. Barclays father, was a baby when the party crossed Death Valley. Later he became prominent in Santa Cruz and was well known as an athlete and baseball player. Surviving Mrs. Barclay are her children, Charles, Ella Barclay and Mrs. Violet H. Stark, her grandchildren, Harry and Edward Stark and Edward Barclay and five great grandchildren.

John and Harriett had the following children:
1. Violet Harriette Barclay, born 10 January 1890 in Santa Cruz and died on 14 September 1982 in California. She married Edward Stark about 1909 and had two children. I have her in the 1900 and 1920 U.S. Census.
2. Ella May Barclay born 7 January 1892 in San Francisco, California and died 1 March 1956 in California. She married a Becker after 1910 in California. She is featured in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 U.S. Federal Census.
3. Charles John Barclay was born 7 May 1894 in San Francisco and died on 31 May 1975 in Hollister, San Benito, California. He is found in the 1900, 1910, 1920 and 1930 census.
4. Edward Avery Barclay born 11 November 1896 in San Francisco, and died 24 July 1937 in California. He married an Elsa MacPherson born 31 May 1905 in Butte, Montana and died 11 May 1978 in San Mateo, California. They had one son Edward Avery Barclay. Edward married Alma E. Hardy and they had four children. It is this family that my cousin is from and there are living descendants of this family who live on the West Coast.

John is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery on Queen Anne hill in Seattle, Washington. He is next to the tombstone of Lewis Sears, a husband of his sister. These tombstones are in the section just left of the office building.
Of course, there is always more research that can be done on a family and I could look for more census, divorces, funeral home records and other documents. At this time, I will move on and share about John's sister Helen (Sarah Ellen) Barclay Sears Westerholme.

Forest Service not creating jobs
Forest Service Failing to Create Jobs, Stimulate Economy in Forest Management Practices
Posted by Crystal Feldman on December 20, 2012
During the height of this years record-breaking fire season, the Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands held a legislative hearing on bills to address forest health and reduce the risk of catastrophic forest fire. Following a Forest Service report on the need for restoration on 65-82 million acres of National Forest land, the Forest Service testified that it had restored 3.7 million acres in 2011. Restoration is the process of assisting recovery of an ecosystem that has been degraded, damaged, or destroyed. Following the hearing, we submitted a series of questions to get further detail on what methods the agency used to restore these lands.
In its response, the Forest Service explained that of those 3.7 million acres, over 1.4 million nearly 40% of the total were restored through a combination of prescribed fire (fire intentionally set and monitored by the agency) and wildland-use fire (fire allowed to burn to achieve resource objectives). Meanwhile, commercial harvest was only allowed on 195,477 acres - 5% of the total work for 2011 and only .1% of the 193 million acres managed by the Forest Service.
In short, the Forest Service restored seven times more land by the use of wildfire than by management to produce merchantable wood products, support jobs, or generate economy activity and revenue for our rural forest communities and schools. The 195,000 acres treated this year produced 2.4 billion board feet of timber down 80% over the last twenty years. This decline in forest management has resulted in millions of acres of unhealthy forests caused by insect and disease infestation and overgrowth, an ever growing threat of catastrophic wildfire, and significant damage to local economies.
This data shows that there is tremendous opportunity to restore active management of our forests that will create jobs and foster economic development.

Though I did gush about pins/brooches lately and I have made rings from earrings, I have a ton of necklaces! They take the cake as my favorite accessory! And lucky for Chris, I am a "quantity over quality" kinda girl when it comes to jewelry, so I love to hit Target and Kohl's for reasonably priced fun jewelry. And while it should seem that I would always have the perfect length necklace for each and every neckline, sometimes, it just isn't so!
So, how to extend the length of a necklace in a pinch? What office supply comes to the rescue to avert this fashion disaster? (I know, I sorta gave it away with the title, ha ha!) Enter the humble paper clip! Slide one end of the necklace chain onto the paper clip and attach the clasp to the other end!
You just extended the length of your necklace by 2 inches!
You can even connect more than one paper clip if you really want to extend the length of the necklace …
Of course, if you have short hair you'll see the clips (which is a whole other problem) … BUT this simple office supply is a great solution in a pinch and gives you a little more flexibility and versatility with your jewelry!

Hello fellow developers !
We have managed to create in our opinion something very useful for us all :
DEMUX Framework is a Java framework for building modular, cross-platform applications which can run on desktop, web and mobile devices. It is an open source project published under Apache License 2.0. The following list presents basic goals of this project:
build a platform that will enable easy creation of modular applications based on OSGI. Think Eclipse or NetBeans platform, only simpler and more flexible
provide a set of reusable modules that can be simply dropped into new applications and easily customized if needed
applications should be easily portable to all supported platforms (ie., port desktop application to web or mobile OS)
build a thriving community which will allow building, sharing and customizing modules among users
It is free to use and you are all more than welcome to do that.
Just be so kind give us your feedback about and help us make it thrive.
Direct link to our web site available on our profile page here at Codeguru, or just google it up...
Cheers and enjoy !
