U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Agreement Establishes Ongoing Collaborative Relationship Between the Two Entities
RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Charlotte District Office of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with the consulate of Mexico in Raleigh, N.C., today. The agreement establishes an ongoing collaborative relationship between these two entities to provide Mexican nationals with information, guidance, and access to resources on the prevention of discrimination in the workplace. Mexican Consul General Javier Díaz de León and Reuben Daniels Jr., Director of the EEOC's Charlotte District Office, signed the agreement.
The Mexican Consulate in Raleigh provides services to preserve the rights of Mexican nationals. The EEOC's Charlotte District Office enforces federal employment discrimination laws and has jurisdiction over North Carolina and parts of South Carolina and Virginia.
"This agreement promotes a key objective of the EEOC Strategic Enforcement Plan that includes protecting the rights of immigrant, migrant and other vulnerable workers," said Director Daniels. "This includes assuring non-discrimination in hiring, discipline, discharge or other terms and conditions of employment. Our investigators and attorneys welcome the opportunity to work with the consulate to protect the rights of Mexican nationals. We will also use this opportunity to assist victims of human trafficking whenever possible."
Under the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding, the EEOC will expand its cooperation with the Mexican Consulate. The federal agency will provide the consulate with educational materials explaining the laws enforced by the EEOC, as well as disseminate compliance and educational materials to the consulate's constituency. The agency will also conduct a minimum of two information forums during the first year and set up a system for consular contact with Mexican nationals who have returned to Mexico and are owed monetary compensation that EEOC has collected from the responsible employers.
The EEOC and the Mexican consulate will work together to launch an educational program aimed at making Mexican nationals aware of applicable workplace laws and regulations and establish a system for referring complaints to the EEOC.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the agency is available on its website at www.eeoc.gov in both English and Spanish or by calling its toll free number at 1-800-669-4000. EEOC's toll free TTY number is 1-800-669-6820.

Brunswick County has endured many temperature fluctuations during December and January, yet this week's cold front is definitely making it feel more like winter. With nighttime lows in the 30s, folks can finally break out their favorite winter jacket or burn their firewood they spent all fall cutting. Surprisingly, fish go through seasonal transitions as well. However, their changes revolve around migrating to find food or warmer water.
As the New Year rang in, we awoke to a crisp, cool change in weather. The rain diminished, the fog lifted and the seas finally subsided. This change enabled those to get started on their New Year's resolutions but most importantly gave fishermen an ample opportunity to get out on the water. I mentioned in the columns last week this cooler weather could possibly improve the fishing for our offshore waters, and it did just that.
It's like every time I attempt to pack my shorts away for the winter, I find myself having to bring them back out again. I mean, 80 degrees on Christmas? Incredible, to say the least. The warmth has been a burden to some who enjoy cooler weather. However, I can assure you that almost all Brunswick County fishermen are soaking up every minute of the comfortable temperatures. These temperatures not only are Mother Nature's Christmas present for fishermen but also have the fish swimming around singing "Jingle Bell Rock."
That moment when everything falls into place. For some this means closing a contract with a supplier or throwing the game-winning pass in the fourth quarter. However, to most fishermen it means your boat performed incredibly, the targeted fish would not stay off the hook and your son or daughter reeled in the first "big one." These days are few and far between yet this weekend had many local anglers considering their perfect day offshore had been achieved.
When you spend as much time on the water as I do, there is a chance you will see some pretty cool stuff. One of the most common questions I get asked each year from my charter clients is this: What is the craziest thing I have seen on the water?
It is often hard to pull just one crazy thing out of my head when put on the spot. After pondering this question for some time, I have come up with a few quick little stories to share with you. Some of you may believe them and some will not — but trust me, these things actually happened.
As we enter the second week of December, it is safe to say winter is letting us know it is only a few weeks away. Fluctuating temperatures have kept Brunswick County fishermen on their toes when selecting their clothing, as well as where they have been fishing.

Product Details
The ADM2914 is a quad voltage supervisory IC ideally suited for monitoring multiple rails in a wide range of applications.
Each monitored rail has two dedicated input pins, VHx and VLx, which allow each rail to be monitored for both overvoltage (OV) and undervoltage (UV) conditions. A common active low undervoltage (UV) and overvoltage (OV) pin is shared by each of the monitored voltage rails.
The ADM2914 includes a 1 V buffered reference output, REF, that acts as an offset when monitoring a negative voltage. The three-state SEL pin determines the polarity of the third and fourth inputs, that is, it configures the device to monitor positive or negative supplies.
The device incorporates an internal shunt regulator that enables the device to be used in higher voltage systems. This feature requires a resistor to be placed between the main supply rail and the VCC pin to limit the current flow into the VCC pin to no greater than 10 mA. The ADM2914 uses the internal shunt regulator to regulate VCC if the supply line exceeds the absolute maximum ratings.
The ADM2914 is available in two models. The ADM2914-1 offers a latching overvoltage output that can be cleared by toggling the LATCH input pin. The ADM2914-2 has a disable pin that can override and disable both the OV and UVoutput signals.
The ADM2914 is available in a 16-lead QSOP package. The device operates over the extended temperature range of −40°C to +125°C.

John McCain: Russia's Chemical Weapons Plan Being Used By Syria as a 'Stall Tactic'
Arizona Senator John McCain believes Russia's proposal for Syria to give up its chemical weapons is a "stall tactic." The politician made his assertion following President Barack Obama's speech to the American people regarding a possible U.S. military strike on Syria earlier this week.
McCain said on Wednesday that he worries Syria is using its offer to give up its chemical weapons as a stall tactic to give the country time to hide its chemical weapons arsenal. While speaking at a Wall Street Journal-hosted Seib & Wessel breakfast in Washington, D.C., he urged the White House to hasten its decision on a possible military strike, saying: "I'm worried that we have a game of rope-a-dope for a while, and the slaughter goes on."
McCain also added that he remains extremely skeptical of Russia and Syria's agreement, saying the origins of the chemical weapons compromise made him "queasy." On Monday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov announced that after meeting with Syrian counterpart, Walid al-Moallem, Lavrov had suggested that Syria agree to relinquish its chemical weapons to international control, where they would then be dismantled. Shortly after, Syria announced that it "welcomed" Russia proposal.
McCain made similar statements regarding his skepticism of this deal on Monday when he told TIME magazine that although he believes Russia's offer is "just a stalling tactic," the U.S. must still consider the diplomatic compromise.
"If there is an international [agreement], if you have the guidelines, the requirements, the reporting, the dates- all of that guided by a very detailed resolution to the UN Security Council, I think that you can't say no to it even though I'm very dubious that this is a real proposal," McCain said in a phone interview with TIME. "I think it's just a stalling tactic but to reject it out of hand is obviously not something that you can do."
McCain's comments on Wednesday come one day after President Barack Obama addressed the nation in a television conference on Tuesday evening. The U.S. claims to have proof that Syria's President Bashar Assad used chemical weapons on his own people in a massive attack on August 21 near Damascus, killing over 1,000 civilians. The country has been embroiled in a bloody civil war for the past two years between loyalists to the Assad regime and rebels fighting for a new government. Reports claim that through the past two years more than 100,000 people have been killed in Syria.
In his address on Tuesday, Obama said the U.S. will continue to explore Russia's plan for Syria's chemical weapons arsenal, although he, as commander in chief, reserves the right to take military action if the U.S. is in danger.
"I determined that it is in the national security interests of the United States to respond to the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons through a targeted military strike. The purpose of this strike would be to deter Assad from using chemical weapons, to degrade his regime's ability to use them and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use," Obama said.
"That's my judgment as commander in chief. [...] Meanwhile, I've ordered our military to maintain their current posture to keep the pressure on Assad, and to be in a position to respond if diplomacy fails," the president added.
Also in his national address, Obama asked Congress to delay their Syria vote on a military strike until the diplomatic option is thoroughly explored, saying the diplomatic option "has the potential to remove the threat of chemical weapons without the use of force."

A new album by Glaswegian Talkingmakesnosense came out a couple weeks ago on Rural Colours but this video for the title track has already been around a while. Guy likes to plan ahead, I guess. Judging by this piece, though, Coruscates is gonna be a fuckin stunner.
The video is an astounding kaleidoscopic piece of brilliance, "inspired by the light phosphenes that you experience when your eyes are closed." I see some cool stuff when I close my eyes… but nothing like this. Is there any way to fix that? Science?
The coolest part of this is that "the entire video was created by filming and affecting light reflections from the river Clyde." It's like watching a melting snowflake slideshow set to a glowing Mountainsy ambience. It's beautiful visually & aurally, and it's almost 12 minutes long so grab a chair.

Does it support paypal and/pr stripe and/or bitcoins? How this can be integrated with frameworks like laravel or codeigniter?
t's standalone application which manage user and roles and creates session cookie which can be shared between sub-domains. Another application can get user roles by that cookie and show/hide some site functionality based on a user roles. The simple example includes security.php file which contains a set of function to read user roles and redirects to authenticated UI if it needed.
See simple example: http://makemakecode.com/faq.html#q1
I use lightweight micro-framework in order to integrate the application for many different frameworks. It's a good idea to add an example how to use the app with laravel or codeigniter. I'm working on that now.
Paypal and/pr stripe and/or bitcoins will be implemented like a plugin to next release.

Meet the newest addition at Old World Primitives – a primitive sheep doll.
She is 8.5 inches long and 7.5 inches high, and looks right at home nestled among antiques and other primitive smalls. I handmade her out of muslin fabric using a Kentucky Primitives design and then coffee stained, sanded, and rubbed her with cinnamon for an aged and primitive look. Her head is painted black, and she wears a rusty bell hanging from coffee dyed string around her neck. Her legs are antique rusty nails, and she stands squarely on the nail heads when propped against a wall or other object. Her sheep tag and poem are printed on stained paper, tied on with twine, and adorned with a few sprigs of fragrant sweet annie. I had almost as much fun taking these photos of her as I did making her!

A&M's Alcatraz research continues to reveal underground forts, tunnels
What started as repair of a tripping hazard at Alcatraz Island led to research that is revealing an old network of underground tunnels and fortifications.
Early results appear to indicate that a "caponier," or part of an original fortified wall, still lies buried underground on the notorious island in San Francisco Bay.
The research began in 2010 when the National Park Service, which manages the former federal prison site, asked the Concrete Industry Management program at California State University, Chico, to fix a gaping hole in what was once the prison recreation yard.
Students and faculty members from the program took out a big chunk of concrete, exposing the top of an old battery wall about a foot below ground, said program director Tonya Komas.
A California State assistant professor, Komas is director of both the Concrete Industry Management program at Chico and the nonprofit Concrete Preservation Institute. She holds a Ph.D. in architecture from Texas A&M.
Prior to the Alcatraz research, Komas had worked with Mark Everett, an A&M professor of geology and geophysics, on a stabilization project at the World War II D-Day invasion site in Normandy, France.
When it became apparent that something intriguing lay beneath the Alcatraz recreation yard, Komas said she thought of A&M's ground-penetrating radar.
At the park service's invitation, Everett and an A&M team took their radar equipment last year to Alcatraz. In a few days, he said, they scanned the former prison recreation yard and parade ground.
Analysis of those scans is a much bigger job, he said.
The island, which was used as a federal prison from 1933 to 1963, was previously the site of a lighthouse, a military fort, and a military prison.
Komas was surprised to find that the top of the battery is concrete since the United States in the mid-19th Century had only a few, tiny companies producing cement.
"Most of it was being brought from Europe in the 1850s," she said.
But she's not surprised that the old battery walls withstood the ravages of the San Francisco Bay climate.
"I'm not surprised," she said. "It's concrete."
Because the Alcatraz research has been so fruitful, Komas said the program is about to expand from a 10-week summer experience for undergraduates to a year-round operation that will also offer research opportunities for graduate students and job training for military veterans.
Given the island's multiple layers of history reflecting its use as a fort or prison during the Gold Rush, the Civil War, World War I and the Al Capone era -- capped by 45 years as a national park -- there is much to interpret, she said.
"I would love to continue to work with A&M as things come forward," she said.

Fishing can be a phenomenal and fun activity for children and youngsters. Fishing can be a very fulfilling sport; you and your family can fish rather than dealing with the hectic routines of day to day life in South Gate, and enjoy the outdoors. Families regularly enjoy the outside air, find out about the earth, and even create great memories. Best of all, fishing is quality time spent together talking, laughing and sitting next to each other. It can be a perfect game for little children, on the off chance that you present it emphatically. For some families, the experience of fishing with live bait, and catching fish that later become dinner, can be a memory making experience that lasts a lifetime.
Here are some of the thought to make your fishing trip successful in South Gate with your kids.

6 Easy Steps To Make A Nuc Box
Being the co-CEO and trustee of Otto Bremer Trust, Daniel Reardon is tasked with the management and maintenance of every aspect of the foundation. This includes overseeing Otto Bremer Trust's responsibilities as a Bank Holding Company, as well as fostering its relationship with regulators and investors. When he is not working, Daniel Reardon enjoys going fishing.
The bait-casting reel is specifically designed for the more seasoned angler. Ideal for heavy lures and bait, it is the tackle of choice for catching larger types of fish. One advantage of the bait-casting reel is its versatility allowing for more accurate measurements when casting a specific distance. The only downside to bait-casting reels is that they can lead to what anglers call a bird's nest, technically known as backlash.
Backlash occurs when the lure slows down as it descends towards the water, but the spool continues to spin faster. Once this happens, the angler has to spend time untangling the line, leaving them less time to actually catch any fish. Preventing backlashes, however, is easy with these tips:
1. Use heavier lures. When a lure is too light for the force of the caster, the spool will not receive any resistance, causing it to spin faster and end up in a bird's nest.
2. Choose a high-quality fishing line. For example, using a braided line will cause tighter backlashes that are harder to detangle. Fluorocarbon lines end up backlashing more than monofilaments; however, monofilaments are better suited for practice than for actually catching heavier fish.
3. Avoid casting lines into the wind. The force of the wind may slow down the lure, which causes the spool to spin too quickly before the line drops into the water.
4. Customize the brake setting of the fishing rod. Modern rods have adjustable brakes to prevent backlashes. Beginners should start at the highest setting until they feel comfortable enough to cast their line greater distances.

I am not dying. I just feel like I am. 'Cause I have the flu. the yucky kind with body aches. So I'm blogging, because I don't have enough sense not to, in my current loose state of mind.
This morning I got to thinking about the new strides in social media (don't freak; I'm a dork, not a geek, so the technobabble is beyond me, too, but I still squee over new gadgets--I think it's a nice balance) , and how things like Twitter--at an artist's or author's discretion--open a door into the entertainer's life.
That's weird. Not like bad weird or good weird, just plain weird. My best friend would probably get what I mean immediately . . . at least after I'd fed her a dose of Robitussin. We're tight like that. Even cold medicine brings closer our cognitive processes. Anyway, by weird I mean artists are not precisely known for letting their creative times, in which they write, or compose, or create, all hang out there. As a sub-species, we're hermit-like. You see the work, but usually only after it's only all worked out.
With Twitter, blogging, live chats, we're giving up that reclusive way of life. That makes me curious. Because don't they say it's a bad thing to get to know your heroes or role models too well (presumably, because we're all human, which is, for some inexplicable reason, always a surprise to fans)? With all this technology, yeah, we're closer to our audiences, but what if Real Life us doesn't measure up to our Cover Life selves? Do we let down fans? Or do we make fans feel special, included, hopeful (especially fans aspiring to follow something along in our footsteps)?
Don't mistake me, I'm not trying to sway anyone one way or another. I love tweeting, and I like blogging (although I do it less because I feel to blog fluff somehow a betrayal of my readership and right now I'm a broken record ab out being stuck in a rut). I just have to think about that question.
I've read books I loved but then seen some unlikable behavior by the author and liked the book less for it. Same is true of music, just as is the opposite--thinking something was "meh" only to admire the artist for some good behavior, and seeing his or her work in a more positive light.
How much of a responsibility to remain mysterious to, or to be a revelation to our audiences do we have? If we produce fiction, or an alternate view of looking at or illumination something, is it up to us to shroud ourselves in an accompanying source of mystery? Are we at fault for bursting bubbles if we don't?
I am not dying. I just feel like I am. 'Cause I have the flu. the yucky kind with body aches. So I'm blogging, because I don't have enough sense not to, in my current loose state of mind.
The Difference Between What is and What Could Have Been
This evening I face the likelihood I will puke up the entire contents of my stomach in the next twenty-four hours. This is likely because all three of my podlings have done so in the last couple of weeks, and since I cleaned up after each of them, I've probably gotten their bug.
Do I want to puke up the entire contents of my stomach? No. In fact, I would rather be any other kind of same-level sick in the world. I HATE puking. Unfortunately, my hatred of the action isn't enough to stop me from having to perform it.
Just like my hatred for sometimes having to "power through" a scene in order to create my own progress (rather than waiting for some much less toiling-ish inspiration fix up everything) won't stop me needed to power through, regardless. I don't want to just write whatever crap comes into my head so that I can get over this hump, finish, and come back some time sooner than later to make something good out of the yuck I put down.
Just like the yuck I'll be putting down, gastro-intestinally speaking.
Personal Note: I write better when nails are done in a dark color. I think it's because my nails then blend in with my dark keyboard and don't offend my ADD sensibilities.
Also, so far, I'm pretty much of the opinion all these American remakes of British shows are only half as good as the UK originals. Keep it in mind.
The Light at the End of My Tunnel is a Luminescent Moss-covered Brick Wall.
Okay, you've done it. You're in that final stretch of your manuscript, the last big blow-out, and then it's epilogue, sweet epilogue, and Fine. . . Except, you have no idea what you're doing in those last twenty or so pages. You know it's supposed to be big, tying up loose ends you've left (whilst simultaneously cutting free a few strings to leave the reader with more questions, should your book be in a series), and you know it has to feel genuine.
What do you do? Well, you fall back on your classic writer's block cures: repetitive exercises (either actual exercise, or you know, just the same action over and over), mundane chores which allow your mind to wander (I like washing the dishes--even though I actually hate washing the dishes), listen to music that gets you in the literary mood. I have a friend who likes to knit, one who cooks, one who just needs someone to babble to, and one who swears the bathroom in the most creativity-inspiring room in the house.
But I, on the other hand, know how my show goes down, and yet, still I have this magnetic force pulling me from completing this book. I feel like I'm letting down my friends, family, and writer cohorts with my uncertainly, and my sluggish pace. My inner demons taunt me with accusations of being lazy, or incapable, or both. Am I scared to finish because I'm sure my best efforts still won't be enough, or am I truly so busy in my "normal" life to have enough left over to do justice to this hot mess? Am I simply so much a perfectionist I'll never finish because I can't be certain of acclaim or praise? I'd hate it if that were the truth, because I don't want to be that shallow. I want to write for the good and the good times of others. I don't want to lose my faith in this book, my ability to write it, or a reader's likelihood to get something out of it.
A part of me, a very ingrained, much-disliked part of me, wants to put the blame on anyone, anything else. I don't have test readers, so I don't have any feedback to work from. Or, I don't work nearly as well unless I've got a hard-copy in front of me, but I don't want to waste paper, so I have to finish this thing before I print it all out. Or, Oh, look, there are REALLY pretty boys on television right now. I can't write with pretty boys in front of me *minor eye rape*. Even, My husband is actually home today, I don't want to do anything but curl up on the couch with him. Which, you know, is TRUE, but is also procrastinatorial BS (yes, me and the words-making again).
So, you tell me; what do I do?
Personal Notes: It's a little weird, but I know my best friend's favorite word*, but not her favorite color. If I had to hazard a guess I'd say . . . blue?
* "Sussurous", which refers to a quiet, rustling sound, like leaves being blown by a breeze, or many people whispering at once.

Bellarmine-Jefferson High School students looking to carve out a life path can now turn to the likes of Desmond Tutu and Jane Goodall for inspiration.
The Catholic high school recently published "Wisdom of Giants," a collection of 100 letters addressed to the 300-member student body from some of the greatest world leaders and scholars.
"When you look at the compilation, there are some fantastic people represented," said Bellarmine-Jefferson Principal Sister Cheryl Milner.
Glendale resident and Bellarmine-Jefferson economics teacher Dennis Ryan launched the project in 2001.
"We thought it might be interesting to post in the glass-enclosed wall case in the main hall letters from important people," Ryan said.
Ryan, 75, a retired stock broker, began writing up requests on a typewriter at the public library next to Bellarmine-Jefferson at Olive Avenue and Glenoaks Boulevard. He asked each respondent to offer some life advice, and to make book recommendations.
The first letter came from his longtime personal friend, John Wooden. The second was from broadcaster Walter Cronkite. And during the next nine years, the letters poured in from around the world. Among the respondents are President George H.W. Bush, hockey star Wayne Gretzky and former EBay President Meg Whitman.
"I think the most important ingredient in success is getting a good, early education and developing the right habits," wrote Warren Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway.
But there were also dozens of letters from people not instantly recognizable by young people, including historian Jacques Barzun, former-U.S. Atty. Gen. Griffin Bell and composer Dave Brubeck.
"We wanted people from all walks of life," Ryan said.
Bellarmine-Jefferson received about 160 letters in total, Ryan said, a response rate of 21%. The 100 included in the book were selected based in part on the respondents' ages — he wanted those who had lived long, fruitful lives. Nineteen of the writers have died since submitting their letters, Ryan noted.
Publishing costs for "Wisdom from Giants" were paid for by a benefactor, Ryan said.
Each letter is accompanied by biographical information that was researched and written up by faculty members and students. And the school has made available in its library nearly all of the books recommended by the letter writers.
"We are trying to make [the students] better people," Ryan said. "We are trying to expand their education. How often would they have an opportunity to receive advice from some of the best minds in the nation or the world, the best doers, the best humanitarians?"
Copies of the book are being given to each student and faculty member at Bellarmine-Jefferson, Milner said. And they are available for sale to the public at the school for $19.99.
She described Ryan's work on the project as a "wonderful example" for the students.
"The nice things about Mr. Ryan is, in a very quiet way, he has done this and given a great gift," Milner said.

The New York-based artist Cory Arcangel (* 1978) uses his work to explore the practices and myths that have built up around Internet culture, pop music and experimental music. In processing visual and audio material for his works, he not only uses and adapts available computer programmes but also develops his own programming to do so.
Far from being merely interested in current trends in the entertainment industry and in our everyday use of the Internet, the artist also highlights the rapid obsolescence of technologies and codes. Cory Archangel mixes and matches his works, each time presenting them in a new constellation to each other and applying them in different settings. Depending on the situation, for instance, he combines older and more recent video works with sculptural works, while the material for a music performance may also reappear in a video installation or in an Internet project.
At the heart of this exhibition is the two-screen video installation entitled 'a couple thousand short films about Glenn Gould' from 2007. Compiled from over 1100 individual snippets that the artist downloaded off the Internet and edited using software that he himself devised, we are treated to a video version of the 1st variation from Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations. At a bewildering speed, the images alternate from person to person as each individual plays a completely different instrument, each time performing a single note from Bach's composition. The pianist Glenn Gould used the technique of piecing together various recordings to produce his commercial records, something which Archangel takes here to its humorous extreme.

RAF Museum to raise Nazi bomber from 1940 Blitz out of English Channel
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
A British museum has begun the process of lifting the only Nazi bomber to survive the World War II Blitz on London out of its shallow grave -- under 60 feet of water and shifting sands under the English Channel.
In the fall of 1940, the southeast coast of England was under heavy attack by the German Luftwaffe, as Hitler sent wave after wave of bombers to the country in his efforts to blast the country out of World War II.
In August, early in a campaign that would come to be known as "the Blitz," a formation of German Dornier Do-17 bombers was intercepted and one was shot down. It landed on Goodwin Sands, a large sandbank off the coast of Kent County, the last bit of rolling English countryside before Britain gives way to the straits of Dover, 20 or so miles of cold sea, and ultimately France.
'It's hugely important to British national history.'
The aircraft touched down relatively safely, but as it sank to the sea floor it flipped upside-down. And there it stayed, buried by the English Channel, the sandbar, the tides and the decades. Until now.
"When you find these fascinating, important objects, they're in challenging places: the Greenland ice caps, the Egyptian deserts -- or in this case, the English Channel," explained Peter Dye, director general of London's RAF Museum, which is spearheading a program to pull the plane from the sea.
Sidescan sonar images taken in 2008 revealed the silhouette of the craft, Dye told FoxNews.com, as the shifting sands exposed the perfectly preserved plane for the first time.
The Dornier's very existence is remarkable, he said; all of the hundreds of fighters that England shot down were smelted during the war and reused, ironically turned into British aircraft to continue the battle against the Germans.
"We've got a Spitfire and a Hurricane and a German Messerschmidt," Dye said. "All the other aircraft were sent to smelters and recycled, ironically enough into our aircraft."
"You might say it's environmentally sound," he added wryly.
But now that it's exposed, now that the sand has shifted, every winter storm will degrade the plane, while sport divers and curious history buffs will unintentionally damage it merely by swimming by.
"The process of destruction begins with discovery," Dye told FoxNews.com. So the RAF Museum, in conjunction with the Port of London Authority, the National Heritage Memorial Fund, and Imperial College London are in the process of retrieving the plane. But that's a challenge in itself.
The Dornier Do-17 has a 60-foot wingspan and stretches about 50 feet; it's constructed of several aluminum sections. The plane is relatively light, but chloride in the ocean as well as the life teaming there have worked on it over the 70 years since it last saw sunlight.
The RAF Museum is currently on site assembling a special lift to raise the plane from the sea floor, a process that will take a few hours at most, likely during the last week of May.
The wing section will then be removed from the body, promptly sprayed with chemicals and gels to preserve it, and driven a few hours down the highway -- likely the first time a Nazi craft has navigated England's roads in half a century.
The preservation process involves a months -- or even years-long -- lemon-juice shower, an odd solution devised by the Imperial College's Department of Material Science that strips away the Channel's chemicals and prevents exposure to oxygen.
By washing away the chloride with citric acid, the surface is effectively protected and a barrier to further corrosion built, Dye explained. The process is lengthy, and the entire proceeding will cost roughly half a million pounds (around $750,000). But the uniqueness of the find makes it truly worthwhile, he told FoxNews.com.
"We feel that this is a unique survivor, the only German bomber from the Blitz that's left. And it's hugely important to British national history," he said.

Hiding a Mountain Of Debt
With a bit of bookkeeping legerdemain borrowed from the Bush administration, the Democratic Congress is about to perform a cover-up on the most serious threat to America's economic future.
That threat is not the severe recession, tough as that is for the families and businesses struggling to make ends meet. In time, the recession will end, and last week's stock market performance hinted that we may not have to wait years for the recovery to begin.
The real threat is the monstrous debt resulting from the slump in revenue and the staggering sums being committed by Washington to rescuing embattled banks and homeowners -- and the absence of any serious strategy for paying it all back.
The Congressional Budget Office sketched the dimensions of the problem on March 20, and Congress reacted with shock. The CBO said that over the next 10 years, current policies would add a staggering $9.3 trillion to the national debt -- one-third more than President Obama had estimated by using much more optimistic assumptions about future economic growth.
As far as the eye could see, the CBO said, the debt would continue to grow by about $1 trillion a year because of a structural deficit between the spending rate, averaging 23 percent of gross domestic product, and federal revenue at 19 percent.
The ever-growing national debt will require ever-larger annual interest payments, with much of that money going overseas to China, Japan and other countries that have been buying our bonds.
Reacting to this scary prospect, the House and Senate budget committees took the paring knife to some of Obama's spending proposals and tax cuts last week. But many of the proposed savings look more like bookkeeping gimmicks than realistic cutbacks. The budget resolutions assume, for example, that no more money will be needed this year to bail out foundering businesses or pump up consumer demand, even though estimates of those needs start at $250 billion and go up by giant steps.
Republicans on the budget committees offered cuts that were larger and, in some but not all instances, more realistic.
But the main device the Democratic budgeteers employed was simply to shrink the budget "window" from 10 years to five. Instantly, $5 trillion in debt disappeared from view, along with the worry that long after the recession is past, the structural deficit would continue to blight the future of young working families.
The Democrats did not invent this gimmick. They borrowed it from George W. Bush, who turned to it as soon as his inherited budget surpluses withered with the tax cuts and recession of 2001-02. But Obama had promised a more honest budget and said that this meant looking at the long-term consequences of today's tax and spending decisions.
There are plenty of people in Congress for whom the CBO report was no surprise, and some of them have proposed a solution that would confront this reality. Kent Conrad, the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, and Judd Gregg, its ranking Republican, have offered a bill to create a bipartisan commission to examine every aspect of the budget -- taxes, defense and domestic spending, and, especially, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Congress would be required to vote promptly, up or down, on its recommendations, or come up with an alternative that would achieve at least as much in savings.
In the House, Democrat Jim Cooper of Tennessee and Republican Frank Wolf of Virginia have been pressing a similar proposal but have been regularly thwarted.
The roadblock in chief is Nancy Pelosi, the speaker of the House. She has made it clear that her main goal is to protect Social Security and Medicare from any significant reforms. Pelosi has not forgotten how Democrats benefited from the 2005-06 fight against Bush's effort to change Social Security. Her party, which had lost elections in 2000, 2002 and 2004, found its voice and its rallying cry to "Save Social Security," and Pelosi is not about to allow any bipartisan commission to take that issue away from her control.
The price for her obduracy is being paid in the rigging of the budget process. The larger price will be paid by your children and grandchildren, who will inherit a future-blighting mountain of debt.

Halloween quite a holiday
Next Wednesday is Halloween; get ready.
For some, it's the greatest holiday and others dread it. I had a neighbor last year who had her house trimmed from stem to stern -- it was her favorite holiday, even more so than Christmas.
I have other friends who "chicken out" and always go out for the evening, not because they don't want to give out the treats, but they can't get up and go to the door so many times during the evening. It's too much (they say) on the nerves.
Halloween today is a curious mixture of contradictory superstitions, local folklore and religious beliefs so closely interwoven that it's difficult for us to understand the meaning of the present-day celebration.
But of this we can be sure, Europeans believed that the time between Oct. 31 and Nov. 2 is ripe for spooks.
For instance: Did you ever wonder why apples are so popular at Halloween time? Because it is the season for them? No. One of the Halloween superstitions is that if a girl eats an apple before a mirror on Halloween, the mirror would reveal the face of her future husband.
The Halloween bonfires that are still lit in many parts of Europe and America seem to be harmless and lots of fun; ask any good Scot or Irishman. He will tell you that the bonfires frighten off any ghosts and spirits who happen to be hovering nearby. He'll suggest filling a pitchfork with straw, setting it afire and waving it in the air to singe a witch's broom as she passes by.
The Irish have many whimsical ideas of their own about Halloween.
They prefer tell stories of mischievous elves and fairies who love to play tricks on mortals. They laid the background for Halloween "trick or treat," because the Irish were never averse to helping the "little people."
It was also in Ireland that the first jack-o-lanterns were carried by (as the story goes) a miser named Jack. This old drunkard, accepted in neither heaven nor hell, was forced to wander the earth with a live coal from hell's furnace stuck in a turnip to light his way.
The Irish used jack-o-lanterns at all of their Halloween gatherings made of hollowed-out turnips, rutabagas, potatoes carved with grotesque faces and candles in the center. There were no pumpkins in Ireland.
Halloween, as we know it today, has changed considerably from even the '50s and '60s, where there were a lot of pranksters who would plan for days what they would do in tricks and damages to get their fun at others' expense.
Lawmen used to be out in droves patrolling streets and country roads for these tricksters. We don't hear much of that today. Trick-or-treaters don't seem to be so plentiful because community groups and clubs plan parties for them and entertain them instead of their going from house to house. However, there are still those who trick-or-treat for a bag full of candy.
When people started worrying about sabotaging the "treats," parents became more leery of trick-or-treating, even though actual cases of tainted treats are more urban legend than fact.

DEXTER, Mich. (AP) - Washtenaw County Sheriff's Deputy Ray Yee was the first officer on the scene in one of two hard-hit Michigan subdivisions where a tornado ripped through more than 100 homes, leaving them in splinters before downing trees and power lines, sparking fires and flooding neighborhood roads.
Yee approached one destroyed home Thursday, and saw a hand sticking out of the rubble. He pulled out an elderly man, who was shaken but walked away.
'That's the best part,' Yee said. 'Every place I went to, I would have thought I would have found somebody laying there - deceased or whatever. But, knock on wood, everybody was OK.'
The slow-moving storm was part of a system packing large hail, heavy rain and high winds. The touchdown was reported in the Dexter and Pinckney areas northwest of Ann Arbor, said Marc Breckenridge, director of Emergency Management for the county.
Crews were assessing damage, but in one neighborhood, a home appeared to be flattened while an adjacent home lost most of its roof and second floor. Houses across the street also sustained damage to their roofs and siding. There were no reports of serious injuries or fatalities, authorities said.
Based on damage, the tornado had winds estimated around 135 mph, National Weather Service meteorologist Steven Freitag said Friday. He said it was on the ground for about a half hour and had a path about 10 miles long.
Sheriff's spokesman Derrick Jackson said 105 homes were significantly damaged in Dexter and the surrounding area, and 13 were destroyed.
Damage was concentrated in two subdivisions. About two dozen homes in Sharon Carty's Huron Farms neighborhood 'are pretty much unlivable,' she said. 'And a significant number more than that are severely damaged. One house, the whole front of the house is gone. Folks whose houses were hit are pretty stunned. We don't get too many tornados around here.'
She saw no evidence of any injuries.
Carty, 38, said she and her family heard the first weather siren around 5:15 p.m. and were in their basement when the tornado struck. Their house was untouched.
Jack Davidson, 63, said he was watching TV when he heard warning sirens go off twice near his home in Dexter, sending him and his wife to the basement.
When they emerged, Davidson said the couple at first didn't see much damage and thought the storm had spared the area. But one look across the street revealed a different reality: a flattened self-serve carwash was among the damaged structures.
'It's bad,' Davidson said. 'The pizza shop's bad. But the worst damage is to the carwash.'
Two blocks away, the twister never touched down.
'I guess we were just lucky we were in the right spot,' Davidson said.
Still, destruction was a common sight in the village's business district.
A sign that declares Dexter a 'Tree City USA' community was bent and affixed to a telephone pole. Nearby, trees lay on the ground, rendering surrounding roads closed or impassable.
Based on video and other evidence, a weaker tornado struck Monroe County's Ida Township, Freitag said. That tornado was on the ground for about 3 to 5 minutes, and by looking at the damage the winds were estimated at 80 to 90 mph, he said.
'We're getting absolutely hammered,' Fire Capt. Jim Hemwall of Monroe County's Frenchtown Township said Thursday night. 'We have funnel clouds spotted all around us.'
Hemwall said a house in the town of Exeter was struck by lightning and debris swirled around another in Monroe County's Dundee.
A third possible tornado was reported in northwest Lapeer County, near Columbiaville. Authorities reported damage in a three mile area there. The storm ripped a two-story home from its foundation, damaged barns and vehicles, and knocked down trees. It packed wind gusts up to 70 mph in Lapeer County and 2-inch hail, the weather service said.
Survey teams from the weather service planned to be in Washtenaw, Monroe and Lapeer counties on Friday to examine the damage.
All roads into the village of Dexter were closed as darkness fell, with police diverting traffic. Area police and fire agencies were going door-to-door searching for any injured, said Jackson, the Washtenaw sheriff's spokesman. People needing shelter for the night were directed to a local school.
Bill Marx, head baker at Dexter Bakery, said he was closing up shop when he noticed the change in the weather and heard storm sirens.
'I stepped outside and saw the clouds turning around,' Marx said. 'It was coming toward us. After it went by, it really started raining and hailing.'
Eastern Michigan University in nearby Ypsilanti also was buckling down for the storm.
'We put out an all-campus notice to students to take cover, and a tornado warning is in effect,' school spokesman Walter Kraft said.
The notices were sent out via text messages and emails, Kraft said.
University of Michigan Health System spokeswoman Kara Gavin said patients were moved into hallways and window blinds were closed in rooms.
Gavin said there were no reports of damage in or around the Ann Arbor hospitals.
The American Red Cross of Washtenaw and Lenawee counties expected to open a shelter at Mill Creek Middle School in Dexter and provide shelter, food, water, other basic needs and mental health services, spokeswoman Jenni Hawes said.
'I'm sure a lot of people are pretty distraught,' she said. 'If you know people affected, encourage them to the shelter and get assistance.'
Hawes said a second shelter opened nearby in Ann Arbor, where significant flooding forced the evacuation of an apartment complex.
--- Associated Press writers Corey Williams, David Runk, Jeff Karoub and David Aguilar contributed to this report from Detroit. Tom Krisher reported from Dexter.

Why PROTECT IP Will Fail: Cultural Acceptance, Not Fear Of Punishment, Makes People Abide By Laws
from the you're-doing-it-wrong deptLawyer Ron Coleman has a post about the PROTECT IP Act, called "We're all infringers now," that's worth reading. While it covers similar ground to what we've said before, there's one line in there, towards the end, that is absolutely worth highlighting and repeating:
This new proposed law is a terrible way to try to solve [infringement]. Its passage would only drive the culture further yet from any respect for the rule of law as it applies to intellectual property. But if Big IP hasn't figured out yet that it is cultural acceptance of legal norms, not fear of punishment, that makes a free society a law-abiding one -- if Big IP doesn't understand what the de facto attitude of consumers regarding copyright has already become, and where it is already going -- then heck, maybe at this point the law professors and the rest of us should just let Congress already go ahead and give them enough rope.This is the key point that many of us have been trying to drive home for years. It's the same key point that the SSRC report made in pointing out that "enforcement" and "education" are simply not strategies that work. And that wasn't based on theory. It was based on years and years of detailed research. And yet, to the industry and to the government there seems to be only one single tool in the box for dealing with the challenges of infringement: to scare people. But that only works if people are stupid. And we now have plenty of experience in recognizing that people don't culturally accept the claims of the industry on this issue, and no amount of threats and punishment are likely to change that.

That's where the action is; that's where you'll see the sights
What did you inherit from your father?
Our Father's Day question makes a readable story, as you'll find. Can you resist answering it yourself? Digging, for better or worse, into the roots from which you've grown?
When I went digging, I heard my father ask me What's cooking on Duval Street?
It was a joke because, at four or five, the biggest action I was likely to find on the main street of the old-fashioned island of Key West was at the five-and-dime store.
Yet now, all these years later, Gene Martin's interest in the action remains alive in me. Who knows? It might even be one of the reasons I chose my husband.
He still hears grandfather H. Ray Fluegel, of Mackinaw, Illinois, asking, Billy, are you going out among 'em?
Out among 'em was where the action was, our forebearers knew. You saw the sights on Duval Street.
As reporters, Bill and I spend a lot of time on one incarnation or another of Duval Street, where sights are plenty.
We've seen some sights this past week.
As soon as last week's paper was out and I could turn off the lights, Lambrecht and I rendezvoused at Historic London Town and Garden's Privateer Party. The loot, on this perfect night in June, was hefty. "We think we passed the $30,000 mark," executive director Donna Ware said of the fundraising. Much of that bounty came from sponsors and big donors, including the 13 caterers and many beverage sellers who not only satisfied the appetites of the throng but also gave money.
Live and silent auctions swelled the total, and that's where I — along with a lot of other guests — got into trouble. Desirables ranged from autographed minor-league baseballs and bats to silver oyster forks to an airplane lunch outing to a catered cocktail party at London Town's William Brown House.
When spirits are high, it's hard to stop bidding.
With a bidding card bearing my birth year, how could I help but bid? That's what I told my husband after I'd won the right to take home Lee Boynton's mermaid, painted from two live models, a woman and a fish. Kendyl Lawson's mermaid went for the same price. We buyers were happy, and so was London Town.
The next night, we got to see Congressman Steny Hoyer dance the Electric Slide in celebration of his birthday. That's the kind of thing that goes on after the speeches at his annual picnic and fundraiser at Newton White Mansion in Mitchellville. "I've been doing the Electric Slide for 25 years," Hoyer told me. You can watch a video of that online at bayweekly.com.
On Sunday, we saw Hoyer — Senate President Mike Miller and Gov. Martin O'Malley, too — in shorts at Bernie Fowler's 25th annual Patuxent River Wade-In. Those were memorable sights. But the real action was between Calvert County Commissioner Jerry Clark and O'Malley ...
Clark to O'Malley and assembled dignitaries:
Gentlemen if we can't fix the river with the firepower we have here today, how can we ever fix the Bay? We're asking you to help us and do what you can … but I'm begging you for this river.
O'Malley to Clark:
I accept the spirit of your call to clean up this Patuxent, and I have a call to you and the people of the proud party of Lincoln. … When we do things like ask the people to pay another $2.50 a month in their flush fee so we can clean up the discharge from all of our Democratic and Republican toilets, we'd like some of your members to join us …
Now I'm looking forward to new sights.
Hope to see you at Corvettes on the Bay (read Jesse Furgurson's story on page 8), where I have the fun of making the media award to my favorite car.
The bicentennial celebration of the War of 1812 gets under way this week, too, with lots to do and the tall sight of ships to see. Events begin on Flag Day and continue for two years. Read 8 Days a Week to catch them as they come, starting this week with Star Spangled Sailabration in Baltimore and The War of 1812 in Anne Arundel County.
In the words of my father, That's what's happening on Duval Street.

Out of character (OOC) indicates something said or done by the person playing a character, not the character itself. OOC speech is often interjected when explanations are required that cannot be provided in character. It is often denoted by the use of the emote system.
- Lored OOC: Sec, I gotta take a shower.
- Lored - Sec, I gotta take a shower.
- Lored ((Sec, I gotta take a shower)).
The second version is the most preffered as it is easily recognizable from normal emote. In the game, OOC talk should be limited to /party or /tell. This version violates the official World of Warcraft roleplaying policy and can and will lead to a ban if the actions are not discontinued.

The Battlestar Valkyrie, Bill Adama's last command before taking control of the Galactica, isn't exactly as famous as the show's namesake, or even the Pegasus. But it looks magnificent in this LEGO recreation.
LEGO builder Garry King has, by getting hold of images of the old ship, done a fine job of bringing the dead ship back to life in a model that's made up of 43,341 pieces, weighs a staggering 110lbs/50kg and stands (well, lies) around ten feet long.
Ten. Feet.
