Todd Vance — Iraq combat veteran, bar bouncer, and social-work major at a local university — is lecturing two dozen of his fellow veterans on the techniques and joys of the chokehold.
"You want the blade of your forearm on their windpipe or carotid artery," Vance says in a commanding voice. "Push your opponent into the fence.…Let's have some fun with this drill!"
It's Saturday morning in North Park, and the veterans have come to a steamy, noisy gym for Vance's mixed martial arts class. It's a fight club of sorts, for those who already have fought a war.
Vance, 31, a former Army sergeant, uses mixed martial arts to help veterans cope with post-combat problems, including post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues involving the uneasy transition back to civilian life.
His unconventional — and unofficial — approach had drawn a small, loyal following among veterans, and qualified endorsement from psychologists who work with veterans.
Jeffrey Matloff, senior psychologist and PTSD specialist at the Department of Veterans Affairs in San Diego, said that as long as veterans learn self-control and not to use their skills outside the context of sports, a martial arts approach can help restore self-confidence and focus.
"When it comes to PTSD, therapy alone doesn't have all the answers," he said.
The controlled sparring, similar to a veteran's original training, "assists wounded warriors to evoke the competitive warrior identity and spirit that may have become latent when the service member was injured," said Nancy Kim, a psychologist at the Naval Medical Center San Diego's Comprehensive Combat and Casualty Care facility, who has known patients who have attended. Patients, however, should be cleared by a doctor before participating, she said.
Once he gets his degree from Point Loma Nazarene University, Vance dreams of opening his own gym that would mix counseling and high-energy workouts. For the past two years he's been offering classes three days a week at the Undisputed boxing and martial arts gym on University Avenue.
Classes are free, and for veterans only.
Vance used a similar sweat-based regimen when he returned from Iraq and struggled with PTSD, anxiety, nightmares and a load of anger.
"He was a mess," said Vance's mother, Dianne Ratzel, who lives in the Carmel Valley neighborhood. "He was angry, confused, combative. He got into fights and drank a lot; I was afraid he would get hurt."
The tattoos on his heavily muscled body tell the story of his post-Iraq transformation. Among his oldest tattoos are a "knuckle sandwich" and the letters FTW, which stand for "… The World." A more recent tattoo on his upper leg has a skull and the letters PMA, which stand for "Positive Mental Attitude."
For 90 minutes, the veterans punch, kick and wrestle each other inside a padded cage with wire sides. Except for a brief hydration break, there is no let up. Techno music blares ceaselessly.
"Strong bodies, strong minds, let's go," Vance commands. "Let's give you a taste of jujitsu."
In the Army, Vance was an infantry squad leader. He knows how to give orders in a clipped, no-nonsense tone, the kind that brings an immediate response.
Right now, it's teaching the whirling round-kick: "Turn that hip over. Turn that hip over — that's where the power comes from," Vance shouts. "Too many people who fight these days suck at kicking. I hate watching that stuff."
At one session, a student asked whether the round-kick to the head should precede or follow the push kick to the chest. Precede, says Vance.
"I like to hurt people and then put them away," he says, in a tone devoid of irony or exaggeration.
Many of the veterans in Vance's class are receiving counseling in the military or at the VA and are on medication for depression or anxiety. Vance sees his classes as an addition to, not a substitute for, traditional therapy.
"I don't run a 'group' therapy session," said Vance, who has a prescription for Xanax, the anti-anxiety drug, and credits a VA counselor for helping him. "But I can see my students talking to each other about things they don't even talk to their families about."
Jason Jones, 33, who served 13 years in the Marine Corps including a deployment to Iraq, is on anti-depressants. "I come here and I feel better than I do when I leave the VA," he said.
One of Vance's most dedicated students is Mike Judd, who served in the Army in Iraq and is now an outreach counselor at Veterans Village of San Diego, a nonprofit residential treatment program funded in part by the VA. Too often, Judd said, veterans are given only medication, when what they want is the physical exertion and discipline that was so integral to their military experience.
"We're the young generation of veterans," Judd said. "We still have plenty of energy, plenty of anger, plenty of passion. We need to begin tapping into that."
At the beginning of each class, students circle up and announce their names and branch of service.
"Coming here is the closest thing to being back with my squad, down-range, since I got back from Iraq," said John Meyers, 38, an Army veteran. "It's something I need."
Meyers' wife, Whitney, 28, was an Army truck driver in Iraq and is one of the few women who attend the class regularly. "It relieves a lot of the stress that you get from going from the military to civilian life," she said.
Sandy Henschel occasionally accompanies her husband, Travis, 36, who served in the Army in Iraq. She watches the session with appreciation.
"Psychologically this is the best I've seen him since he was medically retired" due to injuries, she said. "It's given him something to look forward to."
The classes are free — the gym has donated the time slot to use the training cage — but Vance sells T-shirts that say POW, which stands in this case for "Pugilistic Offensive Warrior."
"Many of the veterans are prisoners of their own minds," Vance said. "We need to free up their minds through exercise."
On this Saturday, Vance brought a fellow bar-bouncer, Zoran Janicipevic, 43, formerly of the special forces in his native Serbia, to put the students through some warmups. "He's done his share of soldiering so listen to what he says," Vance instructs.
At the end of each session, the veterans, sweaty, exhausted, and emotionally drained, gather in a circle for a shout of group solidarity until their next session: "Brotherhood!"

Bob's Bakery, a staple of Island life since 1986, hit lean times earlier this year, and after making some cost-cutting measures and devising a program to entice new customers, owners Paul and Jill Beytebiere hope the hardest of the times are behind them.
Like many Island business owners, the Beytebieres rely on the summer months to build up their coffers to make it through the quiet winter months, but when two refrigerators broke last summer, the Beytebieres' cushion went for replacements and repairs, leaving the small business with little buffer.
January and February are always difficult at the small bakery in the heart of town, they said, but this year, business did not pick up, as it usually does in March and April. Only last week, Jill said, have they noticed an increase in sales.
"I think we just made it through a really tough spell," Jill said.
By mid-April, the couple, had to make significant changes to meet their financial obligations, they said, and trimmed 80 staff hours each week, including deciding to close on Sundays until June.
"We had no more bottom left to scrape," she said.
Bob's typically employs about 14 people, Jill said, almost all of whom work part time, and now a few are "on hold," waiting until the spring increase in customers has fully taken root.
They stressed they did not lay any people off in making the belt-tightening measures, but many people's hours have shifted.
"It has been hard on everybody," Jill said.
Both Jill and Paul attribute the difficult spring at the bakery largely to the season's cold, wet days and the still lagging economy. In a move they hope will benefit Islanders and their business, they have decided to start selling 10-pound bags of organic produce on a subscription basis for $1.70 per pound. This would bring more people into the shop, they said, and would also help advertise the fact they sell more than baked goods, including lunch and dinner items, such as soup, chili, a variety of sandwiches and breads made daily with organic flour.
One of the challenges that comes with running a fully stocked bakery in a community with a small population, Jill said, is that they need to make "a little of this and a little of that," which demands a lot of ingredients and labor.
"It's like putting on a show everyday," she said.
The Beytebieres bought the bakery in August of 2007 from Bob Long, who had run it for 21 years. The business has brought in more money each year they have owned it, Jill said, in part because they have added days to their schedule and extended the hours. They had hoped increased revenue from these steps would allow Paul, who does a lot of the shop's baking, to work less. At times, he has been able to do so, but now he is working 10 to 12 hours a day, seven days a week on top of his work as a high school soccer coach. Jill worries about the toll that takes on him.
"I haven't made this much money since eighth grade," Paul said with a laugh. "I was self-employed then too."
Acknowledging the strain of recent months, Paul said his hope is for the bakery to be profitable enough for him to contribute more to the community.
"I want to be able to give more," he said. "I want to be at that point."
He would like to be able to donate the proceeds from one day a month to a local cause, he said, and from another day a month to a global cause.
"That's what I have always wanted to do," he said.
Ackowledging the difficulty that comes with owning a small business on an often-quiet Island, Paul noted his three passions — kids, soccer and baking — are the same as they were when the couple bought the bakery.
"Every night I say 'I love baking' at least once," he said, noting that sometimes after 13 hours on his feet those feelings wane a bit.
With the uptick in sales last week, the new measures in place and warmer weather starting to appear, Jill said she is feeling optimistic.
"We plan to stay open as long as we can," she said.
Paul agreed.
"I think it's important to have a neighborhood bakery. I really do," he said. "You've got to have Bob's."

The Euler-Cauchy ODE (2nd order, homogeneous version) is:
$$ x^2 y'' + a x y' + b y = 0 $$
Looking in various books on ODEs and a random walk on a web search (i.e. I didn't click on every link, but tried a random sample) came up with no actual applications but just lots of vague "This is really important."s. The closest actual application was on Wikipedia's page, which says:
The second order Euler–Cauchy equation appears in a number of physics and engineering applications, such as when solving Laplace's equation in polar coordinates.
Is there a more direct application of this ODE? Ideally, I'd like something along the lines of deriving the corresponding ODE with constant coefficients from considering springs or pendula.
My motivation is pure and simple that I'd like to be able to say something in class a little more motivating than: "We study this ODE simply because we can actually write down a solution, and it's quite amazing that we can do so."

The Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer were re-engineered for the 2006 model year. Moderate overlap frontal ratings are assigned by the Institute based on a test conducted by Ford as part of frontal crash test verification.
The moderate overlap frontal crash test ratings also apply to the Explorer Sport Trac, which was redesigned for the 2007 model year (no 2006 model Sport Trac was available). The Sport Trac is very similar to the Explorer, except that it has a longer wheelbase and an open cargo bed behind the occupant compartment in place of the Explorer's enclosed cargo area with optional third row seat.
Measures taken from the dummy indicate a low risk of any significant injuries in a crash of this severity. Head accelerations from the roof rail and B-pillar hits were low.
Dummy movement was well controlled. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the roof rail and B-pillar.

Defending U-17/18 Champion Pateadores Starts Strong in Academy Playoffs
Wild Card Qualifier Posts Key Victory Against Vancouver to Open Defense of 2010-11 Title
Wild Card Qualifier Posts Key Victory Against Vancouver to Open Defense of 2010-11 Title
FRISCO, Texas –Pateadores U-17/18 Academy head coach George Larsen did the math with 10 games remaining in the regular season, figuring his team needed to minimally go 6-2-2 to reach the 2011-12 Development Academy Playoffs and get a chance to defend its title.
That is just how the team finished the regular season, earning the 11th of 12 wild card spots and snatching a place in the tournament with a team that went through an adjustment period but came together down the stretch.
"Obviously the nature of this is you put a group together and you hit the ground running into the season," Larsen said. "There are no easy games and you've got to learn on the fly and do it quickly, especially in the SoCal Conference. We really don't care how we got in. We earned our way here, we're happy to be here and we're going to try to make the most of it."
"This is a group of guys that didn't know each other coming into the season, so it took a little bit for us to mesh together," said midfielder Casey Macias, who played during the team's 2010-11 championship win against FC Dallas. "Once we kind of got into it and started getting to know each other, things started to click and the chemistry was there."
Pateadores started the 2011-12 Academy Playoffs on a high note, scoring back-to-back goals and grabbing the game-winner in the 94th minute by TJ Casner to post a 3-2 victory against the No. 1 seed of Group 2, Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Taking into account the end of the regular season, Pateadores is in the midst of a six-game unbeaten streak that started April 14 with a 4-3 win against Chivas USA.
"We went on a spree where we won about five games in a row, but then we lost five games in a row," said Casner, Pateadores' leading scorer. "Right after those losses it was a whole different environment. We had this new desire to make the Playoffs and we realized what was at stake. Our team really came together and battled back."
Casner tallied 15 goals in the regular season, and he credits assistant coach Thomas Dooley and the rest of the coaching staff in giving him confidence in the final third.
"He's really pushed me and given me a little more freedom on the field," Casner said of Dooley. "I just kind of came out running at the start of the season, had five goals in three games and worked my way up to 15. He's been a huge influence on my play. That confidence boost is probably the thing that got the talent out of me to show that I could perform on the field."
Though personnel turnover is a constant in any player development environment, Larsen says his team has some strong leadership qualities that should help for this year's tournament.
"It's always nice to have some guys with that experience, and a large group of these boys were USYSA national champions two years ago," Larsen said. "So among the group there's a lot of experience. We're a senior-heavy group, too. Almost all these kids are getting ready to play college, so I like the fact that we're an older, experienced team."
As Day 1 showed, the Clemson-bound Casner continues to be the Pateadores offensive juggernaut.
"You're not going to find a more technical finisher than TJ," Larsen said. "He's so efficient when he gets his chances in front of goal. He's just really impressed me with his presence and the different ways he's scored goals this year. Anytime you have a goalscorer like that, it definitely makes you feel a little bit better about your chances going into the day."

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
When I look at the portrayals of
Christ which have been produced
during the course of
Church history, I presume that they are
declarations of love because they present
the Lord in romanticized physical
beauty. He is depicted with cherry-red
lips, delicate feminine skin tones, and
in silk robes woven with gold thread.
Yet what did the Messiah really look
like? Today nobody knows because the
oldest portrayal of Christ is from 375 AD
and is thus not an eyewitness account.
Although He is the Son of God, the
Gospels suggest a more rustic figure
of Yeshua (Jesus) in keeping with His
revolutionary style, as He overturned
the tables of the money changers in the
Temple courts. His disciples followed
a radical leader who said that He had
not come to bring peace but a sword
(Matthew 10:34); they were zealots
and sons of thunder (Mark 3:17); and
Peter was also known as Bar-Jonah
(Matthew 16:17)—a rebel who reached
for his sword when Jesus was arrested.
It also fits in with the picture of a
revolutionary that Jesus allowed John
to baptize Him, the man who, clothed
in camels' hair, called on the people to
repent and denounced publicly the infamous
deeds of King Herod Antipas,
which cost him his head. Jesus also
denounced Herod as a fox (Luke 13:32)
and warned people prone to materialism
that they could not serve God and
mammon (Matthew 6:24). He even presents
the people with an ultimatum, that
in order to follow Him they have to—
if necessary—hate father and mother
(Luke 14:26).
Jesus put across anything but a soft,
comfortable gospel. He was only gentle
and mild when He stepped in for the
outcasts and healed the sick; in all other
situations He was a firebrand.
The Romans tolerated prostitution
and drugs, but not criticism of
the state. Yet like Elijah, Jesus spoke
out against the unrighteousness of
the state and religious establishment.
Jesus knew the cost in turbulent Jerusalem;
He knew Pontius Pilate had
sent thousands of Jews to crucifixion.
Jesus was and is anything but a soft,
pathetic Savior, for one day He will
"rule the nations with a rod of iron"
(Revelation 2:27).
The beautiful image of Jesus
that we carry in our hearts
is simply a sign of our love for
Him. However, He fits in better
with the Haganah (the pre-state
Jewish army in Palestine) than
in the Vatican.

By helping to ensure that wood products are free of impurities, metal detectors and separators play an important role in quality assurance.
Metal fragments in wood chips, shavings or other wood waste destined for processing into pellets can damage the press. Metal separators provide protection for pellet production equipment.
Reliable separation of metal impurities is essential before chipping or shredding of wood or wood processing waste. Metal detectors effectively protect size reduction machinery. Our magnetic separators are used mainly to remove ferrous metals prior to processing. They are characterized by robust construction and high effectiveness.
Metal fragments such a broken drill bits may become embedded in wood as a result of production processes. Metal detectors are essential in order to safely remove such fragments before further steps such as profiling, milling and planing.

2013 Winter X Games slopestyle elimination
All photos Chris Wellhausen
There were a few upsets and surprises during Winter X Games 2013 slopestyle elimination at Buttermilk, Colorado today but Mark McMorris continued his trend toward slope domination, qualifying first. While many riders struggled with speed issues on the jumps, which were more poppy and closer together this year, Mark put down a clean first run out of the two given for qualifying. He started it off with a cab 270 on the down bar, switch front lip on the close-out, front blunt 270 on the stair rail, finishing off the upper section with a boardslide gap boardslide to fakie. On the jump line he rolled into a cab double cork to frontside 1080 double cork followed by a double wildcat to backside 1080 double cork.
Pipe and slopestyle destroyer Peetu Piiroinen qualified second and 18-year old Quebecer Max Parrot came in third fresh off a win at the O'neil Evolution in Davos, Switzerland.
As the field of 16 riders was whittled down to the eight who will compete in slopestyle finals on Saturday, Shaun White held on to seventh position. So Shaun will still have a chance to ride against Mark who called out his slopestyle game in a video recently.
"He doesn't dominate slopestyle at all," said Mark. "He doesn't ride rails. He doesn't watch snowboarding, I don't think. It's kinda weird if you get scored high and you're not grabbing your board, even? That's a little crazy."
Could a little of the beef stem from the fact that Shaun beat Mark in slope at the Winter X Games Tignes in March 2012?
Watch what Mark had to say in the lead up to the the 2013 Aspen X Games below.
Among those who didn't make the cut were Torstein Horgmo who failed to qualify for the first time since he's competed in the event. Slope has been a bit of a tough one for Torstein since his 2008 win. Although he's killed the big air events he hasn't been on an X Games slopestyle podium since then.
Seb Toots who won slope in 2011 also didn't qualify and neither did Sage Kotsenburg who got silver in last year's X Games slopestyle. Another favorite, Halldor Helgason was about three-quarters of the way through an amazing second run, which included a double barrel roll, but fell on the landing of the third jump.
Stay tuned for coverage of the street and big air events tomorrow.

We all should realize that….
Internationalism has been the goal of the powerful in America from the beginning…ergo… the UN had to be formed, as the titular center. It will not be dissolved.
And the indigenous American tribes will not get their stolen land back.
"A Civilized Nation: The Early American Constitution, the Law of Nations, and the Pursuit of International Recognition"
New York University (NYU) – School of LawAugust 31, 2010New York University Law Review, Forthcoming
NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 10-58
NYU School of Law, Public Law Research Paper No. 10-58
This article argues, contrary to conventional accounts, that the animating purpose of the American Constitution was to facilitate the admission of the new nation into the European-centered community of "civilized states."
Achieving international recognition – which entailed legal and practical acceptance on an equal footing – was a major aspiration of the founding generation from 1776 through at least the Washington administration in the 1790s, and constitution-making was a key means of realizing that goal.
Their experience under the Articles of Confederation led many Americans to conclude that adherence to treaties and the law of nations was a prerequisite to full recognition, but that popular sovereignty, at least as it had been exercised at the state level, threatened to derail the nation's prospects.
When designing the federal Constitution, the framers therefore innovated upon republicanism in a way that balanced their dual commitments to popular sovereignty and earning international respect. The result was a novel and systematic set of constitutional devices designed to ensure that the nation would comply with treaties and the law of nations.
These devices, which generally sought to insulate officials responsible for ensuring compliance with the law of nations from popular politics, also signaled to foreign governments the seriousness of the nation's commitment. At the same time, however, the framers recognized that the participation of the most popular branch in some contexts – most importantly, with respect to the question of war or peace – would be the most effective mechanism for both safeguarding the interests of the people and achieving the Enlightenment aims of the law of nations.
After ratification, the founding generation continued to construct the Constitution with an eye toward earning and retaining international recognition, while avoiding the ever-present prospect of war. This anxious and cosmopolitan context is absent from modern understandings of American constitution-making.

In short
What a life: it reads like a novel! And what a story behind the painting!
Actually Garneray wrote three novels about his own life.
He was the son of a painter. He left Paris at the age of thirteen to join the French navy, at the time when Napoleon started having his first military successes. During ten years he would sail in the Indian Ocean, fighting against the British.
March 1806 his ship was captured by the British. Garneray would remain a prisoner in Great Britain until 1814. Because of the lack of space for 130.000 French prisoners in real prisons the British turned ships they had taken on the French and Spaniards into prison hulks. Our future painter was imprisoned in such a floating prison in the bay of Portsmouth. Each overcrowded hulk held 700 prisoners in the most terrible conditions. Trying to make some money on the side Garneray started painting. He painted views of the bay with the infamous prison hulks. These were sold by English art dealers to English clients. During the Napoleonic wars they would of course never buy a painting by a French painter. So these paintings remained unsigned and his dealers put the very English name "Hoppey Turner" on small plaques.
May 1814, after Napoleon had abdicated and was sent to Elba, Garneray and many French prisoners were released and they returned to France. As it was impossible to find a job aboard a French ship Garneray became a professional painter: he was very successful and he was appointed as the first "Peintre de la Marine".
About Ambroise Louis Garneray, an adventurous life that reads like a novel
French painter
Paris 1783 – 1857 Paris
Marine painter (and engraver) and writer.
Garneray is considered as one of the greatest French marine painters. As with the epic stories of his adventures he is seen as a precursor of the maritime novel of adventure.
Garneray was born in Paris in 1783, six years before the French Revolution and just a few months before the Peace of Paris ended the American Revolutionary War and Great Britain thus recognized American sovereignty.
His father, Jean-François Garneray (1755–1837), was one of the first of the numerous pupils of the great Neo-Classical painter Jacques-Louis David (1748 – 1825). He painted miniatures, later also portraits and anecdotic, historisizing genre scenes in the so-called Troubadour style.
His second son, Auguste-Siméon, also painted in this style. Anther son, Hippolyte, and a daughter, Pauline, were also painters.
Our painters' life can be divided into three parts: that as a seaman, that as a prisoner and that as a painter.
In 1796, aged thirteen, he joined the French Navy as a seaman, encouraged by his cousin, Beaulieu-Leloup, who was the commander of a frigate. He served during campaigns and sea battles against the British in the Indian Ocean around Mauritius.
In the year 1800 Garneray joined during nine months the famous French privateer Robert Surcouf, as there were no more official French maritime forces left in the Indian Ocean. Privateers were in fact officially recognized pirates who were allowed to attack ships of nations who were at war with France; in Surcouf's case British, American and Portuguese merchantmen.
October 7th Surcouf (with Garneray aboard) captured the British East Indiaman Kent. With the much smaller 18-gun brig, the Confiance, Surcouf managed to board the much larger 40-gun Kent. After a battle across the decks the 150 French privateers were able to beat the 300 British soldiers and sailors. Captain Surcouf granted his men one hour of free pillaging, while the female passengers (the Kent had 137 passengers) were strictly protected by French sentries. This generous gesture did not prevent Surcouf, by then a sensation all over Great-Britain, to have a reward put on his head by the British Admirality.
The Musée d'Histoire of Saint-Malo (Surcouf was born here) holds a painting by Garneray representing the heroic attack.
For the only time as a sailor the privateer Garneray made some serious money aboard the Kent, which he sadly invested in a slave trading ship, la Doris. He served aboard it as first mate, that is as an officer ranked immediately below the captain.
Two-three years later he started serving aboard various trading ships, then possibly a pirate ship and he finally joined the French navy again. At the Sea Battle of Trafalgar, 21 October 1805, the Royal Navy under Admiral Horatio Nelson had decisevely beaten the French and Spanish Navies; Napoleon would not threaten the United Kingdom over sea anymore, though on the European mainland he did beat the Coalition already two months later at Austerlitz. Garneray had not been at Trafagar, but a few months later, in March 1806, his ship the "Belle Poule" ("Beatiful Chick") was captured by the British, he himself was wounded. He was 23 years old.
Starts the second, terrible part of Garneray's life, that as a prisoner, which will last for eight long years from 1806 until 1814.
Members of Napoleon's French Navy, but also from the commercial navy and even from his land forces captured in Spain, were emprisoned by the British on the river Medway near Chatham, or off Plymouth and in our painter's case in the bay of Portmouth harbour aboard so-called prison hulks, decommissioned French and Spanish ships-of-the-line that were being used as floating prisons. They were rendered inoperable once all canons and elements required for sailing (masts, sails, rigging and rudders) had been removed and after new features (jails) had been incorporated.
May 18th 1814 our prisoner was finally released. April 1814 Napoleon had announced his unconditional abdication, but he returned to power after the Hundred Days, and was finally and decisevely beaten at Waterloo June 1815.
After Garneray's return to France, started his life as a professional painter, in fact because he could not find a job in the commercial navy. In 1817 he became appointed painter to the Grand Admiral of France, the Duke of Angoulême. Between 1821 and 1830 he was the first Peintre de la Marine, the official Painter of the French Navy. He was very succesful and he was considered a worthy successor to Joseph Vernet.
In 1833, he was made director of the Fine Arts museum of Rouen. He joined the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres in 1841, making designs for its porcelain production. In the 1840s his fame dimmed and he fell into poverty. In 1852 he was created Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur.
In 1820 Garneray got married. His wife was murdered just a few months after his death, her murderer was never found.
About our painting
In the large, sheltered bay of Portsmouth Harbour Garneray was emprisoned aboard two large, former French battle ships, the 64- gun Protée and the 74-gun Vengeance.
As one can see in our painting a row of prison hulks was laying in a line, moored in the mud.
During the Napoleonic Wars England made some 130.000 French prisoners. There were simply not enough prisons available and Great Britain had lost America where prisonners could be send to in the past. Instead of investing into rather expensive new prison buildings it seemed more appropriate to change ships taken on the ennemy into prisons.
No need to say this was not the Club Med. Apparently, according to British sources, conditions on board were not that terrible. French sources on the other hand focus on intolerable sufferings. The conditions on board the hulks were unheatlhy and overcrowded, with little or no ventilation since the ports on the landward side were boarded over as a deterrent against escape.
Garneray described his life off Portsmouth in "Mes Pontons", "The Floating Prison", which was one of the three volumes of his memoirs, that were later, after his death, during the 1660s, re-written with addition of rather spectacular but not very realistic elements to serve the new emperor, Napoleon III, a nephew of Napoleon Bonaparte. I have taken the following information from Garneray's epic description of his prison years.
According to Garneray each hulk held some 700 French prisoners guarded by 40 to 50 British soldiers. Most of the French navymen developped some sort of skill aboard: many made the now extremely sought-after intricate models of British Navy ships in bone. This kept the prisoners happy and busy, plus the extra income boosted morale. The US Naval Academy Museum at Annapolis holds one of the largest collections known.
Garneray remembered that in 1799, before joining the privateer Surcouf the next year, he had been promoted quartermaster and "first painter of the edge" on the Preneuse. Who said art can not improve once life? So at first aboard the prison hulk Protée he started making designs for those who would make straw drawings decorating the lids of small boxes. But within the first year of his emprisonment he started drawing and painting portraits of the English guards. By 1809 he had made a deal with the English bookkeeper of the Protée. No longer did he have to paint in the over-crowded gun deck that served as a prison, he could now work in the office of the bookkeeper, at the rear of the ship, on the poop deck. This time he started painting marine paintings. Garneray improved further his position by becoming an interpreter.
Still in 1809 he was moved to another prison hulk, the Vengeance, as its interpreter had just died. Here also he was able to paint in a small room on the poop deck. Soon he met Abraham Curtis, a dealer in paintings from Portsea Island (which is the most important part of Portmouth). Curtis proposed him a seemingly honest deal and our painter worked hard: he finished three to four marine views per month, for which he was paid one pound stirling per piece. Later Garneray met James Smith, another dealer in paintings, who told him his paintings sold well in England: he proposed not one but five pounds sterling per piece.
After almost six years spent aboard the prison hulks Protée and Vengeance, Smith was able to move Garneray to the mainland in 1812. Half-way Portsmouth and Winchester another large group of French prisoners was kept in a parole area at the small village of Bishop's Waltham. Garneray installed his "studio" in a small ruined farmhouse. Four months after his arrival, on a beautiful day in spring, Garneray walked with two French officers to a farmhouse a mile further. Both his friends were savagely attacked by a farmer and killed. The locals told the police Garneray was the killer and he was obliged to flee with a small ship to France. Close to the harbour of Cherbourg he was arrested and returned to the prison hulk Vengeance. During one month he lead the same terrible life as the other prisoners. And then re-appeared Abraham Curtius, his first dealer, whose cousin was still the captain of the Vengeance. Garneray got his former privileges back and started painting again, though Curtis' price was now only 10 shilling per painting. A few months later a peace treaty was signed between France and Great Britain. Soon Garneray returned to Paris … via Cherbourg.
None of Garneray's two and a half dozen of views of Portsmouth harbour and its line of prison hulks is signed; a French prisoner of war would not sell very well at a time when Napoleon was threatening to take the major part of the European continent. Curtis and/or Smith, who commercialised his paintings must therefore have had a good sence of humour: the name on the plaque on some of these paintings, including ours, reads as "Hoppey Turner".
The National Maritime Museum in London-Greenwich holds three similar views of Portmouth and its line of prison hulks by Garneray. When two of them entered the collection in the 1930s they had been previously, but erroneously, attributed to Daniel Turner, a London painter best-known for his views of Nelson's funeral, active between 1782 and 1820.
As to Garneray's views of the line of prison ships laying in Portsmouth harbour. These views were apparently all made in the same direction, towards the S., into the direction of France, probably from the island left of Portchester Castle, which is the only island in the harbour.
In our view, behind the line of prison hulks at left lays Portmouth on Portsea Island, on the right Gosport.
One should not forget that Garneray painted his Portsmouth views in extremely difficult conditions: as a French prisonner in English custidy, surrounded by 700 fellow prsionners or in a small office that he could use as a studio; a few must have been painted in the village of Bishop's Waltham.
Why should you buy this painting?
Because it is a superb representation of a an incredible subject.

If you've ever had to share an external drive between Windows and Mac OS systems then you'll know it can be, well, something of a challenge. Macs only come with the ability to read Windows NTFS partitions, and PCs can't see a Mac's HFS+ partition at all, so you'll probably end up cobbling together a messy FAT32-based compromise as a file system that both computers can read.
But there is another way. Install Paragon HFS+ for Windows and your PC will immediately gain the ability to both read and write Mac OS X partitions. The program comes in the form of a file system driver, so there's no extra interface to learn, no options to set. Just use the Windows Disk Management applet to mount an HFS+ partition (the Help file explains more if you need assistance) and you'll be able to see it in Explorer, drag and drop files there, or use the drive in applications, just like any other.
Please note that this is the commercial version of HFS+ for Windows. There's also a separate free edition. The commercial edition (available here as a trial), works with all editions of Windows from XP upwards, includes unprecendented high-speed HFS+ performance, full access to HFS+ partitions (read and write access) and much more.
A simple way to give your PC full access to Mac OS X HFS+ partitions

A malware campaign targeting activists at pro-Tibet organisations could be the work of the same Chinese group behind a major attack on the chemical industry last year, researchers from AlienVault have suggested.
The new attack uses a malicious Word attachment sent by email to organisations including the Central Tibet Administration and International Campaign for Tibet using English-language subject lines promoting a Tibetan religious festival.
This attachment attempts to exploit a relatively old Microsoft vulnerability (CVE-2010-3333), to launch GhostNet's Gh0st RAT Trojan, normally designed to steal data or even record sound files via a PC's microphone. It is also capable of performing realtime surveillance on an infected machine.
AlienVault notes a number of similarities to the Nitro campaign between July and September 2011, a large-scale attack on the chemical and defence industry against up to 48 different companies.
The malware used in the Nitro attacks was Poison Ivy, a Chinese-developed Trojan related to Gh0st RAT, using a VeriSign digital certificate issued to a Chinese company before being revoked on 12 December; embedded within the code calling the Trojan is the string 'ByShe', identical to that used by Nitro.
The modus operandi of attacking political organisations is also consistent with Nitro, believed to have started life with a concerted campaign against human rights groups in early 2011.
"It is no surprise that Tibetan organisations are being targeted – they have been for years – and we continue to see Chinese actors breaking into numerous organisations with impunity," said Alien Vault's Jaime Blasco.
"Unfortunately, in this particular case, these attacks may have a direct impact on the abuse of human rights in these regions."
A detailed analysis of the Nitro attacks was published by Symantec. If Alien Vault's detective work is correct, it looks as if the same group has developed a parallel business making political attacks.
Alien Vault promises to reveal more details about the latest attacks in the coming weeks.

Guiard's model of bimanual control
A model that describes the roles of the hands in performing tasks that typically involved two hands, one being dominant or preferred and the other being nondominant or nonpreferred.
A standard operator in a keystroke-level model (KLM), H represents the act of homing the hands between input devices, such as between the keyboard and the mouse. It was empirically determined to take 400 msec by Card, Moran, and Newell (1980b, 1983).
halting problem
Early in computing theory, it was established that it was impossible to produce a program that can reliably tell whether any program will eventually halt (rather than run forever). As well as its intrinsic significance, this is typical of a range of impossibility results that establish the fundamental limitations of computation.
hidden dependencies
Important but invisible links between entities in the cognitive dimensions framework. Frequently the links are visible in one direction but not in the other (cell dependencies in spreadsheets, for example). See the text for more details.
informational equivalence
Two representations that contain the same information. See also computational equivalence.
information artifact
See artifact.
information-foraging theory
A framework that employs an adaptationist methodology to develop quantitative and computational psychological models of user strategies for seeking, gathering, and consuming information.
information processing
Within cognitive science, problem solving is seen as an information-processing activity [See computational metaphor (of cognition)], in which encoded information is acted on and transformed in the resolution of a goal held by a cognitive entity.

Safely on the ground
We finally touched ground after a 12-hour voyage across the Atlantic! After check-in, John, Chris and I hit the gym for a while and then met up with Larry Beinfest for an outstanding dinner at the hotel. Everyone has been extremely nice to us and very accommodating.
Hopefully everyone else found a way to get to sleep, not much luck here..it's after 2AM here and we have a big day planned, starting at 0800 hours! I passed a Turkish coffee shop downstairs earlier and I have a suspicion that we will be getting acquainted in just a few hours.
Plans tomorrow include a boat ride, base tour, photo/autograph session with the troops and a visit to a local little league. I can only imagine how excited the kids will be to meet real Major League Baseball players and we are all looking forward to spending time with them. Who knows, maybe we'll find a couple future Marlins while we're there!
Remember to check back regularly this week as we will be uploading video from our activities as soon as possible.
Take care,

I want to personally thank the Marlins for putting this trip together, and I especially want to thank Chris, John, Larry, and Freddi for making the trip. The troops here in Camp Arifjan were very excited to see them. All the members of the tour were very gracious and took time to personally greet every service member who came out to see them.

I want to thank the Florida Marlins for reminding me how much I love being a Marlins fan! It was great to meet and greet with Larry, Chris, and John and ofcourse the Mermaids. You have taken away from your family and friends to show your support for the Soldiers, Airman, Coast Guardians, Navy and Marines and I salute you. Thank you and good luck this year.

Author Notes: As much as I love everything about cooking Thanksgiving dinner I stress about one thing....the gravy! A vegetarian friend came to the rescue offering up her vegetarian gravy. Through the years it has been tinkered with and has become my "go to" recipe any time I need the perfect gravy for both vegetarians and carnivores. It can be used on mashed potatoes, vegetables, stuffing and even turkey! You can use any type of dried mushroom. I have used shitake mushrooms but mixed dried mushrooms will provide more interesting flavors. To make a vegan version substitute olive oil for the butter and additional broth for the cream. - sticksnscones —sticksnscones
Food52 Review: Sticksnscones' mushroom gravy solves nearly every Thanksgiving dilemma there is. It's vegetarian-friendly, requires no pan drippings (ideal for when you're deep-frying your bird or when brining has rendered the drippings too salty), and comes together in no time, yet hides deceptively deep layers of flavor -- umami-rich dried mushrooms fortify the stock, and sauteed shallots, soy sauce, fresh thyme and sherry round out the rich but balanced sauce that we'd like to pretend is actually a soup. Heads up: One time we tested it, we accidentally used just 2 tablespoons of flour and ended up really liking that too -- it was less creamy and voluptuous, more free-flowing with a concentrated hit of mushroom flavor and color. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: 6
Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 25 min
cup dried mushrooms(shitake or mixed)
cups vegetable stock
tablespoons butter
1 1/2
tablespoons minced shallot
tablespoons flour
tablespoons soy sauce
cup light cream
tablespoon sherry
tablespoon minced fresh thyme
pinch salt and pepper, plus more to taste
- Bring vegetable stock to a boil. In a small bowl pour stock over mushrooms. Let soak for 20 minutes.
- Remove mushrooms from bowl, setting the stock aside for later. Mince or thinly slice the mushrooms.
- In a medium saucepan melt the butter. Add the minced shallot and saute for 5 minutes over medium heat until softened.
- Add the flour to the butter/shallot mixture stirring constantly. Cook for a 2 minutes.
- Gradually add 1 1/2 cups of the reserved vegetable stock(leaving mushroom sediment out), stirring well to incorporate after each addition. Cook over medium heat until thickened.
- Add the reserved mushrooms, soy sauce, cream, sherry & thyme to the gravy. Cook for a few more minutes until heated through and thickened to desired consistency. Season to taste with salt & pepper.
- Pour over anything on your plate!

New Book: A Child's Way
21 June 2012 | General Interest
This book written by Jeannie Battagin is designed to provide inspiration, support and specific resources for creating and sustaining the practice of Christian Meditation among children, from first grade through to the eighth grade.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.

UCO Traditions
The Broncho Coin
Tell us your Broncho Coin testimony
The Broncho Coin symbolizes the proud heritage and tradition of excellence and service at the University of Central Oklahoma. The University seal is displayed on the front side of the coin, representing the path of all who have built the great institution that welcomes new students today. The reverse side of the coin, forged with the message "Learning, Leading, Serving" – builds on University traditions – and sets the stage for the next chapter of the student's future.
This coin is bestowed upon students as they begin their academic career. As students journey towards graduation – they are invited to pass The Broncho Coin along to a faculty member, staff member, or mentor – who impacts their life for the good as they progress through Central's halls.
UCO Mace
During commencement ceremonies and inauguration activities, the University of Central Oklahoma president is bestowed with a ceremonial mace. The mace, which was used as a weapon until the 13th century, has transformed into a beautiful symbol of authority. The UCO Mace was developed in 1975 by Art Professor Hall Duncan, Ph.D., art students and faculty members such as Industrial Arts Professor John Bowen, now deceased. The UCO Mace used for President Betz's inauguration is a solid 10 pounds of wood with many metal decorations. The UCO Mace is a symbol of "carrying" the traditions of the university from one time to another. It also has silver and bronze embellishments, a model of Old North Tower, and it is open at the top to allow "fresh thought".
UCO Medallion
The UCO Medallion is passed on to each incoming university president during the inauguration ceremonies. The medallion symbolizes the weight of responsibility that is placed on the president's shoulders. The chain has curved metal banners with names of recent UCO presidents, and the medallion itself has a list of the first fifteen on the backside. On the front is the official UCO Coat of Arms containing the lamp of wisdom, the keys to knowledge, the winged wheels of progress, and a sun rising over a book of knowledge.
Order of the Clock Tower
The Order of the Clock Tower is awarded to individuals who have been dedicated to higher education and Central itself. The honor was created by current UCO President Don Betz during his first year in office, and it is named after Old North, the first building built dedicated to higher education in 1892-93.
Lover's Rock
Beginning early in the 1900s, college men used to take the girl they were courting to Lover's Rock. Most times, the boys would take their knives and carve their name along with the name of the lady of their fancy into the red dirt of the rock. In 1969, the UCO newsletter of the time, Central State College Newsletter, conducted interviews with couples from 1907 who would attend Lover's Rock. It was discovered that the rock was located just south of campus at what is now called Fink Park and was a favorite place for people to roast hotdogs and socialize.
Mitchell Hall Ghost
Since the 1970s, music theater students and faculty members have said to have experienced peculiar activity in Mitchell Hall Theater. The story is that a tormented soul of a maintenance worker named Thornton fell off of the balcony about fifty years ago during a show, and he still haunts the theater to this day. Drama and music students have told of props moving, doors closing, and lights flickering with no explanation.
UCO Coat of Arms
The University seal encompasses the UCO Coat of Arms, adopted during Central's 75th anniversary. The four key elements of the seal include the lamp of wisdom, the keys to knowledge, the winged wheels of progress, and the rising sun over a book of knowledge. This last symbol recognizes UCO as being the first institution of higher education to begin classes in Oklahoma. The Latin phrase on the seal, "Ubi Motus Est", translates to, "Where the Movement is".
The University of Central Oklahoma's official rival is Northeastern State University, located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Their mascot is Rowdy the RiverHawk.
The 'H' in Broncho
The not-so-modern spelling of UCO's mascot, the Bronchos, was originated in 1922 under the supervision of President Mitchell. The head football coach at the time, Coach Wantland, created a Letterman's Club for Central athletes and needed a new name. The club offered honorary membership to the person who thought of the most appropriate name. Mrs. Wantland, the wife of the coach, chose Bronchos with the 'H', which was the common spelling of the time. She remains the only female member of the Letterman's Club. UCO has continued to embrace the 'H' in Bronchos as the traditional spelling.
History of School Name
Territorial Normal School of Oklahoma 1890-1903
Central State Normal School 1904-1918
Central State Teacher's College 1919-1938
Central State College 1939-1970
Central State University 1971-1991
University of Central Oklahoma 1991-present
School Colors
The school colors for UCO were chosen by President Edmund Dandridge Murdaugh in 1895 and marked Central as the first institution of higher education to adopt colors. Bronze symbolizes the burnished sun, the gentle light of intelligence. Blue symbolizes the color of heaven's broad expanse, suggestive of depth, aspiration, hope, and ideals.
Alma Mater
"Cross the plains, converging westward, seeking hope a new.
Settling here to found our college, strength and hope pursue.
Come for learning, come for growing, Central is our view.
UCO, our Alma Mater, honor Bronze and Blue."
Fight Song
The UCO Fight Song was written in 1934 by John J. Gecks, director of the UCO band from 1932-1933.
"Fight boys, fight for UCO! Fight boys, fight today.
Fight for the team, boys. All full of steam, boys.
Hear our cheers for you: Go! Bronchos!
Fight, boys, fight for the Bronze and the Blue;
Fight, boys, fight today. Add one more victory to our team's history.
U-C-O! Bronchos!"
Old North
Old North Tower is the icon of the University of Central Oklahoma and was the first building in higher education in the state of Oklahoma, beginning as a teacher's college. The tower originally opened for classes is 1893. In 1911-1912, Old North was falling apart. With the collaboration of Central students and the state capitol, Edmonites were able to fund the repairing of the tower and the addition of a real clock and chimes – as opposed to the original white board with a painted-on clock. In 2011, Old North was restored again and still remains the state's symbol for higher learning.
Each winter, the greater Oklahoma City community is invited to Central to experience a holiday wonderland. The night begins with the lighting of Old North and continues into the Nigh University Center where there are dozens of activities and workshops ran by UCO student volunteers. WinterGlow was initiated in 1997 by President Roger Webb to promote an emphasis on the importance of community and tradition.
"Throw your hooves up!"
This slogan was developed to chant at sporting events, pep rallies, and other UCO spirited activities to honor our mascot, the Broncho.
Homecoming Parade
The traditional homecoming parade that precedes the football game did not begin with the opening of the school. In the early 1900s, there were reunions and receptions held in Old North for alumni once a year. It was not until 1917 that the first article featuring "Homecoming Day" appeared in the Vista focusing on a football game and reception, and it was not until 1926 that an actual parade was mentioned. In November of that year, the Vista described a parade of floats that would take place after the football game. It has been an annual tradition of school spirit and competition ever since.
Touching the Bell
Beginning in the spring of 2008, each UCO graduate touches the original bell that used to call students to class at the Territorial Normal School. The bell will bring good luck to those who honor it on the way to yearly commencement ceremonies. It is located in the Gerald "Cowboy" Barnett Bell Plaza on the north side of Plunkett Park and just east of Evan's Hall.
Buddy Broncho
Buddy Broncho first appeared in the Vista on October 3, 1932 as a broncho horse wearing a UCO football uniform. He has appeared numerous times throughout the years from local Edmond papers in the 1960s to state-wide papers in the 1980s. The commissioning of the first ever live mascot appears in the UCO's 1979 Bronze Book where Buddy Broncho made his first public appearance at Homecoming. Since that time, Buddy has been a fixture at UCO events and in the hearts of Central students and alumna.
Class Marshals
During the commencement ceremonies, each of UCO's five undergraduate colleges awards a student the title of Class marshal. These five students have the highest grade-point averages and a number of Central credit hours in their respective colleges. Each honoree receives a Class Marshal stole, signifying the highest degree of academic excellence. First presented in 1994, the stoles have become a UCO tradition, now accompanied by a bronze Class Marshal graduation gown.
