Another well-deserved honor: Oeschger medal awarded to Michael Mann
Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term "Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation" or "AMO" was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50-70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium-7 measurements). Mike's earliest work, as a physicist, involved studying the behavior of liquids and solids, and trying to understand phenomena such as the structural ordering of high temperature superconductors. In the earth sciences, he has published on topics as varied as the recovery from the KT-boundary mass extinction event and the factors driving long-term changes in the volume of the Great Salt Lake. He has studied and published on the impacts of historical and projected climate change on everything from the behavior of the Asian Summer Monsoon, to Atlantic Hurricanes, to rainfall patterns in the U.S. And for those interested in the hard-nosed statistics by which a scientist's productivity gets measured, a quick check on the ISI web site will tell you that he has an "H Index" of 40 (that means that 40 of his papers have been cited at least 40 times), more than twenty of his papers have over 100 citations each, and two have over 700. Those are high numbers by any comparison.
But back to the hockey stick. Mike has weathered some rather intense scrutiny and criticism over the years, mostly over the details of a paper nearly 15 years old. Yet the basic conclusions of the "hockey stick" remain, and indeed have been strengthened by subsequent work. Most will be aware, for example, that the conclusion that the past few decades are likely the warmest of the past millennium — i.e. the conclusion of the best-known of Mike's papers in Nature and Geophysical Research Letters –has never been seriously challenged. But well beyond the simple fact of having been right, Mike's work was seminal, like Oeschger's, in playing a pivotal role in launching an entirely new field of study. Although some earlier work along similar lines had been done by other paleoclimate researchers (Ed Cook, Phil Jones, Keith Briffa, Ray Bradley, Malcolm Hughes, and Henry Diaz being just a few examples), before Mike, no one had seriously attempted to use all the available paleoclimate data together, to try to reconstruct the global patterns of climate back in time before the start of direct instrumental observations of climate, or to estimate the underlying statistical uncertainties in reconstructing past temperature changes. Since Mike's pioneering work (starting in 1995), hundreds of papers have adopted the basic approach he pioneered, and numerous PHD projects have been launched to try to improve upon it. Methods have improved of course, and no doubt will improve further (paleoclimate reconstruction using weather forecast data assimilation methods is the latest and most promising recent development). That Mike is a co-author on many of the latest and most innovative publications in this area — with dozens of different people — attests to the groundbreaking nature of his work.
We look forward to seeing Mike's award lecture in Vienna, and we offer our heartfelt congratulations to a well-deserved honor. And while we are at it, we should congratulate Mike in advance for his election as a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union; that honor will be bestowed this fall in San Francisco.

'Ghostbusters' actor Harold Ramis dies at 69
CHICAGO (AP) — Comedy actor, director and writer Harold Ramis has died at his suburban Chicago home.
A spokesman for United Talent Agency says Ramis died early Monday morning of complications from an autoimmune inflammatory disease. He was 69.
Ramis is best known for his roles in comedies such as "Ghostbusters" and "Stripes."
He co-wrote "Ghostbusters," in which he appeared with fellow Second City alums Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray. He also co-wrote "National Lampoon's Animal House" and "Meatballs" and directed such films as "Caddyshack" and "Groundhog Day."
More recently, he directed "Analyze This," a movie starring Billy Crystal and Robert DeNiro.
UTA spokesman Chris Day says Ramis had been battling an autoimmune disease that affects blood vessels for four years.
Day says Ramis' family was at his side when he died.

NATIONALS 9, PIRATES 7: Sloppy Bucs lose to Nats
WASHINGTON — Manager Clint Hurdle's Pittsburgh Pirates began the game 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position before coming through in the clutch late.
They fell behind 4-0 against the Washington Nationals while committing three errors in the first inning. Then the Pirates trailed 7-3 heading into the ninth inning, before rallying to tie the game.
And it all meant nothing in the end, because Bryce Harper hit a game-ending, two-run homer off reliever Bryan Morris with two outs in the ninth to give Washington a 9-7 victory on Thursday.
"Unfortunately, you know, it's kind of sometimes like pickup basketball," Hurdle said. "They had the ball last."
He and Nationals manager Davey Johnson were ejected on a wild afternoon.
The Pirates had won four games in a row, but they couldn't finish off a sweep of the Nationals. One problem was trying to overcome what Hurdle called "our worst inning on the field this season."
Briefly breaking out of a slump that had seen it score a total of 13 runs while going 0-6 since the All-Star break, Washington batted around to go ahead 4-0 against A.J. Burnett after one inning. First baseman Gaby Sanchez, second baseman Jordy Mercer and third baseman Pedro Alvarez each committed an error, meaning only one run was earned.
After Burnett hit Harper with a pitch, Steve Lombardozzi followed with a bunt single. Harper strayed too far off second, getting caught in a rundown. But shortstop Clint Barmes' throw got past Alvarez, who was charged with an error. That allowed Harper to come all the way around to score, and Lombardozzi wound up on second. Ryan Zimmerman's opposite-field single made it 2-0.
Two outs later, Ian Desmond, who missed Wednesday's game because of a burst blister on his left palm, singled. And Denard Span, struggling so much he was dropped from the leadoff spot to No. 7 in the batting order, singled to right. Two runs scored on the play, making it 4-0, because of Sanchez's throwing error.
The next batter, Kurt Suzuki, reached on Mercer's fielding mistake, making it the first time since July 4, 2011, against Houston, that the Pirates made three errors in an inning.
It took that kind of sloppiness for the Nationals' slumbering offense to wake up.
Still, the Pirates made a game of it despite twice trailing by four runs. In the ninth, Nationals closer Rafael Soriano was charged with four runs while getting only one out. Soriano walked the first two batters, then gave up Mercer's run-scoring double and Russell Martin's RBI single, Pittsburgh's first hits of the day with runners in scoring position.
Nationals bench coach Randy Knorr, who took over after Johnson was tossed in the fifth, then lifted Soriano and turned to rookie Ian Krol (1-0). A walk loaded the bases, and Josh Harrison — who homered earlier — tied the game with a two-run single.
But in the ninth, Harper delivered the first game-ending homer of his career, putting a pitch from Morris (4-4) over the wall just to the left of straightaway center.
"I was attacking him with it, and he put a good swing on it," Morris said, "and he hit to the deepest part of the park."
Harper raised his right fist overhead as he rounded first base and was mobbed by a bouncing pack of teammates as he reached home plate.
It was his 14th homer of the season, and first since July 1, the day he came off the disabled list after missing time with a left knee injury.
"Great to get the 'W' today. We really needed it," said Harper, who sat out Wednesday because of the bothersome knee. "Hopefully this one will carry on into tomorrow and the next day."
Johnson left the game when he came out of the dugout while Desmond was arguing a called third strike. Hurdle got ejected in the seventh after Alvarez was thrown out at first while veering too far toward second base after a single.
It was that kind of game.
"It looked, for me, like he was looking to check the ball — if it was going to go through, into the outfield. Once he didn't see it go through, stay in the infield ... he squared right up and ran through the bag," Hurdle said. "So that was argument."
NOTES: Burnett wound up going seven innings, allowing only one earned run. ... Pirates right-hander Vic Black made his major league debut, entering with two outs in the eighth. ... Gonzalez's 11 strikeouts equaled his career high. ... The Pirates open a three-game series at Miami tonight, with Pittsburgh left-hander Jeff Locke (9-2, 2.11) starting against right-hander Henderson Alvarez (0-1, 3.28).

Brian Hayes
Having large corporations hold the deed to a major tract of cyberspace cannot help but change the nature of the Internet. But cultural change was already under way when America Online arrived.
Histories of the early Internet and Usenet describe a community suffused by a distinctive ethos—an improbable mixture of the Wild West and the Peace Corps. On the one hand, the people who built the Net were fiercely competitive; these were gunslinger programmers who wanted to notch up a reputation for writing the best code on the planet. At the same time, the whole enterprise depended on cooperation and a spirit of volunteerism. The supreme achievement, and the way to win your colleagues' admiration, was to build something that others found useful. The community was held together by shared goals and values; for example, network bandwidth was treated as a public trust to be conserved. And even though many of the ARPANET pioneers were subject to the Pentagon's chain of command, there was a powerful streak of antiauthoritarian sentiment. The group's governance was based on "rough consensus and working code." (It remains to be seen whether the same model of government will work for the larger, international bodies that now control parts of the Internet.)
Hacker culture is not extinct. Code-slingers still exist. No doubt some of them work for America Online. A good place to find them in large numbers is at meetings of the North American Network Operators Group, the only trade convention I know where the seats in the auditorium are wired for Ethernet, so that attendees can plug in their laptops and remain online throughout the proceedings. But this inner circle of Net intelligentsia is unknown and invisible to most of us. Far more conspicuous are the new barons of e-commerce, the dot-com billionaires.
Ironically, in the ancien régime of the Net, the one forbidden activity was free enterprise. Politics and sex were never much of a problem. Even though the wires belonged to the Pentagon, you could post antiwar rants and no one would murmur disapproval. Advertising a Tupperware party, on the other hand, would elicit a torrent of abuse. Ten years ago, my own Net access came with a stern warning that the network "shall not be used for commercial purposes.... Advertising of commercial offerings is forbidden." What a difference a decade makes! (The company imposing this policy was Advanced Network Systems, since acquired by America Online.)
That commerce has finally come to the Internet is no great surprise. Why should this one corner of modern life be any more fastidious than college athletics, electoral politics or public television? But the pace of the transformation has been breathtaking. As recently as 1994 the most populous domain of the Internet was still edu, the area reserved for universities and other institutions of higher education. Today com sites outnumber edu hosts by four to one. A survey of Web servers, conducted by the Inktomi Corporation and the NEC Research Center, shows an even stronger commercial presence. Almost 55 percent of all Web servers are in the com domain, with fewer than 7 percent in edu.
Yet even as business has come to dominate the Net, the Net has put its own curious twist on the practice of making money. "Information wants to be free" is a slogan that will not go away; in any case, information is something that few will pay for on the Internet. So entrepreneurs have embraced the idea of giving things away for nothing, and they've turned it into a business plan. Netscape was the leader here, when it decided not to charge for its Web-browser software. Other companies have taken the principle much further. They will give you free Internet access or free e-mail or even a free computer if you will agree to look at a stream of advertisements. Some of the ads may promote other products you can have for free if you're willing to look at still more ads. Where does it end? Where does actual money change hands? Perhaps in the stock market, where you can buy the shares of prosperous companies that have no source of revenue.

Worker surrenders to face charges in building collapse
Philadelphia • A heavy equipment operator with a lengthy rap sheet who is accused of being high on marijuana when a downtown building collapsed onto a thrift store, killing six people, surrendered Saturday to face charges in the deaths, police said.
Sean Benschop faces six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of risking a catastrophe. A warrant had been issued for his arrest and police had been searching for him.
Authorities believe the 42-year-old Benschop had been using an excavator Wednesday when the remains of the four-story building under demolition gave way and toppled onto an attached Salvation Army thrift store, killing two employees and four customers and injuring 13 others.
Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison said a toxicology report showed evidence that Benschop was high on marijuana. That finding, combined with witness statements and evidence from the scene, led to the decision Friday to raid his North Philadelphia home and later seek an arrest warrant, he said.
Benschop's attorney, Daine Grey, said his client was not at fault. "This was an accident, but Mr. Benschop is not responsible," Grey said Saturday. "And we believe that, in time, the facts will show that he is not responsible."
Body believed to be missing Iowa girl
Boone, Iowa • Residents of a small central Iowa city say they're saddened at the discovery of a body in a river believed to be that of a 15-year-old girl who was abducted more than two weeks ago.
Along streets and businesses in Dayton, purple ribbons on trees, plants and utility poles signified hope for finding Kathylnn Shepard alive.
But hope dwindled after authorities announced a body was discovered Friday night in the Des Moines River near Boone, about 20 miles away. Authorities completed an autopsy Saturday and identification is pending.
Michael Klunder is suspected of kidnapping Shepard and a 12-year-old girl in Dayton on May 20. The younger girl escaped, and Klunder committed suicide.
Authorities say clothing and other evidence match what Kathlynn was wearing the day she was taken.
Man who fled murder charge in '79 arrested
Chicago • A former Chicago store owner who fled the U.S. in 1979 after being accused of killing a shoplifter was arrested at O'Hare International Airport while trying to return to the country to attend a graduation ceremony, authorities said Saturday.
Ata Yousef El Ammouri, 65, was taken into custody Friday after arriving on a flight from Jordan, where he has been living, the Cook County sheriff's office said in a statement.
In his visa request from a couple weeks ago, El Ammouri stated that the reason for the visit was to attend a grandchild's graduation, said sheriff's spokeswoman Eleni Demertzis. El Ammouri is accused of shooting Joe Harris, 31, in 1979, after Harris walked out of El Ammouri's store on Chicago's South Side without paying for a can of beer.

#1 Path of Exile
#2 World of Warcraft
#3 Don't know
Reasons behind my choices. I have not played/tried anything else to be more useful. Path of Exile, free, challenging, competitive, perma death game with some economy, crafting, character progression and unique build/talent/skill system.
World of Warcraft, great overall MMORPG. Allows the player to PvE, PvP or pursue titles/achivements/collectables while content is delayed. Drawback is of course the monthly fee and expansion fee that's coming soon.
Both of these games do very good job with security. There is wild bottin going on, but it doesn't severely impact players gameplay. At least there are no hacks, so that's a plus.

Yes, this is a perfect example of the theme. However, I've embarrassed myself a few times by being the person with the ringing cell phone; I don't think I'd enjoy wearing a t-shirt like this.

BALTIMORE, Md. — Playing on the same field where it will vie for an ALC championship come May, No. 4 Northwestern put together a complete team effort to defeat No. 12 Johns Hopkins, 18-8, Saturday at Homewood Field in Baltimore. Senior Erin Fitzgerald posted her second straight five-goal effort, while the NU defense held the Jays' attack to just five goals through 57 minutes of play.
A 4-3 game in the first half was blown open thanks to a 7-0 Northwestern run and a stretch of more than 23 scoreless minutes for the Blue Jays.
Sophomore goalkeeper Bridget Bianco anchored that strong Northwestern defensive effort, recording seven saves in the first half on her way to her third straight nine-save performance. In front of Bianco, junior Kerri Harrington effectively faceguarded dynamic JHU goal-scorer Taylor D'Amore all afternoon, keeping D'Amore without a point over the first 40 minutes of game action and only two assists on the day. D'Amore boasted 29 points (13g, 16a) through JHU's first four games of 2013.
Junior Alyssa Leonard made her impact on the contest with three goals and a game-high nine draw controls while fellow midfielder Gabriella Flibotte sparked NU at both ends, particularly in the first half. The senior finished with two goals, three caused turnovers and a career-best six ground balls, a single-game high for Northwestern this season.
Also on attack, freshman Christina Esposito produced her second straight game with one goal and two assists for three points. In all, 11 different Wildcats combined to score NU's 18 goals.
For the Wildcats, the win was a chance to avenge a loss suffered in their last trip to Homewood Field, a 12-11 defeat to the Jays in April, 2011.
"We have a lot of young players but I'm sure for the people that were here in 2011, it was fresh in their heads and I think they wanted to come out and prove themselves," said head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller. "This is such an important game for us because it's a conference game and because the girls have been working really hard since our loss to UNC.
"Erin (Fitzgerald) obviously led us through that first half but we want to make sure we get a lot of kids involved in the scoring and I think we were able to do that today."
Fitzgerald accounted for the first three Northwestern shots of the day, breaking through for the game's first goal on her third attempt off a feed from freshman Christina Esposito. A trio of early turnovers by JHU allowed NU to keep possession and gain a 2-0 lead when senior Ali Cassera converted an 8-meter try, her seventh goal of 2013.
Reigning ALC Freshman of the Week Dene' DiMartino won the ensuing draw and took it upon herself to score the Jays' first goal of the afternoon. But that was the lone bright spot for the hosts over the first 15 minutes, as Northwestern's defensive pressure continued to result in JHU turnovers.
Freshman Kaleigh Craig sparked the Wildcats to their next two goals, finding space and beating Cosette Larash for a goal before feeding a cutting Fitzgerald, who finished while absorbing contact to make it 4-1 in Northwestern's favor.
Johns Hopkins pulled within one thanks to back-to-back goals, the second of which came on an unlucky bounce across the goalline following an apparent save by Bianco. But it was another Bianco save moments later that led to Northwestern's fifth goal of the day, an aggressive dodge and finish by Fitzgerald.
NU extended its lead to 6-3 thanks to a superb individual effort by Flibotte, who caused a turnover with a textbook stick-check at one end, collected the ground ball and raced the length of the field to fire a rocket past Lorash for the goal. On the next possession, Bianco turned away a JHU 8-meter attempt and kick-started a Northwestern fast break that saw Flibotte score once again in front of the cage, upping NU's lead to four and forcing a Blue Jays timeout.
One more surge into the fan by Fitzgerald with 10 seconds on the clock provided the Wildcats an 8-3 advantage heading into the locker rooms.
NU needed just 45 seconds to add to its lead in the second half, with Esposito earning an 8-meter try with a dodge through traffic in the fan and converting for her first goal of the day. After Alyssa Leonard made it two straight free position goals, freshman Lauren Murray used a deft move in front of the cage to beat Lorash and notch the first goal of her Wildcat career.
Northwestern continued to pour it on from there thanks to a 10-6 edge in draws in the second half, with Taylor Thornton and Leonard scoring less than a minute apart to set the count at 13-4. Fitzgerald netted her fifth of the day with 14:18 to play, and Amanda Macaluso fed Leonard for a quick-stick goal with 11 minutes remaining. Sophomore Jess Carroll also tallied once, accounting for NU's 16th goal of the day.
Sophomore midfielder Brooks Lawler, who attended perennial prep powerhouse McDonogh School in Baltimore, earned her first career start Saturday and tallied one late goal on a free position. Joining Murray as a first-time goal-scorer was freshman Jessica Dahldorf, who was fed by Esposito for a goal with 2:43 to play.
Northwestern now makes the short trip from Baltimore to Annapolis to prepare for a Monday afternoon matchup with defending Patriot League champion Navy. Opening draw at Memorial Stadium is set for 3 p.m. CT with the game being aired live to a national TV audience on CBS Sports Network.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by mercury, Oct 5, 2006.
We do need a backup SF if Acker can play that.
I can't remember where I just read it, but most likely it was from an article linked from this site: the guys last writeup included problems with D. Which is why he has not been playing for us previously. To recap what I saw from the guy before: Good instincts on rotating on D. Excellent ability with his long arms and good ups to stop a guy from shooting on the perimeter. But, he can't stay in front of anyone. Defensively, he is a step up from many other options, such as Flip Murray who can't stay in front of anyone either, but also lacks any instincts at all about defensive rotations / help out defense. And while Flip Murray did have good size at least as far as bothering perimeter shots, Alex Acker has far more height and reach for that. Another guy you could compare Acker to is Damon Jones when we had him on our team. Damon had very good ability to helpout on D, knew his defensive rotations very well. Damon could not stay in front of anyone either. But he was not clueless, as he could at least steer his guy the right way most of the time, and he was anything but lazy, picking up the opposing point very early a high percentage of the time. Acker can be as effective as Damon Jones in these respects, plus he again has more height and reach for stopping perimeter shooting.
That's great news. Just sign him up!
Yes! If Lee says we have another Damon Jones on our hands we need to do what it takes to get him on the roster.
DraftExpress: The Top Overseas Free Agents on the 2007 Market (Part Two)
If the team in Greece doesn't want him...........then why should we !!!!
Cause he would not be our worst player.
My concern is that they're rejecting him cause he can't get along with the coach. Not due to talent issues. Do we need another player with an "on" switch...............
Acker was a decent, nothing more, player at Pepperdine, which has a mediocre basketball program at best. That is not to say that he couldn't improve, but it was and remains a definite long shot of him ever making it in the NBA.
Hopefully, we won't hire the Greek coach and he'll be fine. We obviously don't know what the heck happened over there. They seem to be dropping him because of personal relation issues. Just our luck! Otherwise, we would have had to buy him out of the contract... or wait another year. Now, we sign him for a rock bottom price and see what he's got. I don't know if he'll be any good. He just seems like he has more potential than Blalock. I didn't hear anyone complaining that he was on our roster before last season began.
Great points TaS. Pini Gershon is not known as an easy to get along with coach. He's also under a ton of pressure because he got a lot of money to take Olympiacos to the top of the mountain, and a Greek Championship.
Thanks Lee but a comparison to Jones is a little dissapointing. Good steer defender?
Samb is up to 240 pounds now. The game seems to come very naturally for him. Here is the most recent Langlois blog about him, it seems like he has a real shot to make the roster next season, and I really hope he does. PISTONS: 'I Like Basketball'
Something to watch for in the Summer league. Which is starting this weekend.
Good read. Thanks for the link.
Some very fine news indeed. Could he possibly be our starting center by the end of the season? Maybe I'm just too opportunistic.
Very fine news is right, but even if he is an all star six years from now next year is really a stretch.
I hope he sticks, even if it means some time with the Mad Ants. With Joe's new plan in place, this would be the year for somebody (especially a C) to get on the job training.
Good find, thanks. Cowen's list of things you need to play in the NBA is pretty interesting... - body and athletic ability - tolerance for pain and ability to absorb punishment - ability to fine tune athleticism into skill - willingness to compete - a little bit of nasty
That's an excellent list. It explains why you shouldn't put too much stock in private workouts to evaluate draft picks, because all they will tell you is the first thing on the list. Here's a recipe for getting burned on your high draft pick: focus on body and athletic ability and forget about the other stuff.
Separate names with a comma.

In this podcast, Alex talks about what Business Technology transformation is and who drives it inside the organization.
Posted by Alexander Peters, Ph.D. on February 4, 2010
As a growing number of executives learn how to apply Toyota's famous Lean principles and tools to improve quality and reduce costs, Toyota is making headlines. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that the company had to suspend sales of different models this week, and will halt production at their five North American factories next week, for quality reasons (see, this article for more).
The moral of the WSJ story is strikingly simple: Toyota was trying to get too big, and changed too fast. In doing this, its leaders obviously abandoned some of the principles of continuous improvement which made the Toyota brand and its Lean production system (TPS) so famous. These principles are about establishing a highly specified working environment based on mature norms to minimize quality-control variables. For example, never build a new product in a new factory with new workers.
Does this mean that Lean creates barriers to change? The answer is yes, and this is good news. Abiding by your Lean principles can protect your organization from moving too fast and making potentially unsustainable, even damaging changes. True business process transformation initiatives based on Lean focus not only on zero-defects and no-waste targets, but also look at how people work and interact to make processes and services flow. This means that for any change you plan, you will need also to allocate time and resources to build the organization and develop the skills that support the desired state of maturity.

When a hive swarms, there are good odds that it will swarm again in a week or two. And once a swarm lands and leaves it's scent there, there is a good chance that another swarm will land in the same location.
I think a big read on swarm control this weekend. My neighbours wont like heaps of swarms :(
OzBuzz,It would behoove (been waiting a week to use that word :-D) you to take the queen away for the split and leave the cells in the original hive...a "false swarm".If you take the cells away for a split the mother hive might swarm anyway and wouldn't be able to raise a new queen.Scott
darn, biggest hot spot is in front of my place. The lovely wife just called me to tell me they've done it again. At least they're in my front garden this time!Hey Slicko, what was your swarm count last year?
Question: Does the first swarm from a crowded hive always take the reigning queen with it and leave the supersedure queen(s) to take over? So then an afterswarm would necessarily have a supersedure queen.
That's 5 out the front from 2 hives for me.

I have just come back from visiting the most amazing house in London. A visit to 18 Folgate Street in Spitalfields is a real trip back into the past. Most genealogists spend some of their time mentally in past centuries, just try phoning one when they are deep in the 1841 census and you will probably find they have great difficulty in dragging themselves back to the present!!
A remarkable American Dennis Severs conceived the concept of the house and collected some the contents before he even found the right property. If you want to get a real feel for how some of your ancestors lived in the 18th & 19th century and you can get to London then you MUST visit 18 Folgate Street.

Saints to give suspended coach Payton new deal: report
(Reuters) - The New Orleans Saints are set to hand suspended head coach Sean Payton a five-year contract extension, the NFL reported on its website on Friday.
Payton is currently serving a season-long suspension for his role in the team's bounty program, which gave players cash rewards for knocking opponents out of games from 2009-2011.
New Orleans struggled without Payton at the helm this season and at 7-8 they will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

"This card was the perfect template for my son's baptism invitations. This card had a place to put a photo, we used one of the pictures from his newborn photo shoot and it went perfectly with the colors and layout of the invitation. The quality of the paper was a very heavy card stock and the print quality was top notch. I've received nothing but compliments from everyone who has received the invitation."
"Very happy with the invites! The thickness of the invite was great without having to pay for an "upgrade." I am thrilled these are the ones we picked after going back and forth a few times. We chose the rounded edges which I feel gave it a little extra. I also purchased the return address labels and the tags for favors. I am pleased enough that I will definitely be purchasing the thank you notes and I can be very picky!"
"We upgraded the quality of paper which was worth the extra cost. The invites were really divine and the quality of the photo was fantastic. Everyone who received the invite all commented on how beautiful it was. I was impressed at how quickly the delivery was especially as we're in Australia. We also bought Thank You stickers which are lovely and very affordable. I highly recommend Tiny Prints!"
"I loved this invitation just the way it was, the only thing I changed was the color of the bottom words to black to go with the backgroud on my baby's pictures. The quality of the paper is great and it looks very professional."
"I am Christian and my husband's family is not, but my husband is fine with baptizing our son. However, I didn't want to send invitations with a large cross on them, since many invites would be going to his side of the family. So, oddly enough, I was looking for attractive non-Christian looking invites for a Christian ceremony. This card fit the bill perfectly. It's very nice looking, with good fonts and color combos. It was very easy to upload my own photo and position it just the way I wanted on the card. The paper and photo quality are good for the price. The ordering process was simple, and I received a confirmation e-mail at every step (order was placed, order was printed, order was shipped). I received the invities 3 days before the promised date as well."

After Arsenal's 2-1 defeat at Swansea on Sunday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of those comments.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@Genius_Ub - The changes in the midfield affected the whole team. Koscielny is 'phenomenal' and seems to have more coming.
@agtownley - I felt we missed Arteta to tick things over and keep hold of the ball. Hopefully Henry's changing room presence will now tell.
@nels4n - I hate the way people keep saying that the time aint right for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. If the boy's got talent let him play! We want Chamberlain!
@SunniSazzz - You just can't concede three goals. Especially not against 'lesser' teams. Not if u want to be champions.
@afcKURTISkps - Looking forward to how we respond next week! Hopefully Henry lifts us. Great signing, he breeds confidence! Exactly what we need.
@GoonerifcIndian - Next weekend is gonna be huge for our aspirations to finish above Spu*s.
@LevReynolds - Thomas Vermaelen has missed the last two games and we've lost the last two games. Says it all really.
@ctopher82 - Disappointing loss but a great game none the less. Great effort shown at the end by us. Respect to Dyer.
@Prashanthchand - That penalty decision was ridiculous. Ramsey barely touched Dyer. But that said, Swansea deserved to win it. Brilliant attitude.
@somteeAFC - They dorminated in all the department. What a loss, again Koscielny made me proud.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Hudson police officer finds support as he battles cancer
By APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent | February 10. 2014 9:54PM
Community members are banding together to help Hudson Police Officer James Stys in his battle with colon cancer. (COURTESY)
Hudson Police Officer James Stys, the district's school resource officer, was diagnosed with colon cancer in mid-November.
Stys' cancer treatments are covered by insurance, but some of the treatments are quiet costly and must be paid for up front and reimbursement takes several weeks to process, according to Bergeron.
Tickets are $25 per person.
Proceeds from the benefit will assist Stys with medical expenses as well as with wages lost from the occasional days when he's unable to make it into work.
Those efforts have included substantial fundraising and donations involving the Cops for Kids With Cancer foundation, according to local police officials.
Hudson police have raised and donated thousands of dollars to assist the Lowe family over the past year, and Stys helped organize several of the community events held in McKenzie's honor.
"He's just a great guy, one who is always so friendly and has such a wonderful way with the kids," Cayot said.

I am sure this has been discussed before, haven't seen it
How many of you shot with one eye closed for a long time
then switched to both open? Any tips on how? Do you think
it made you a better shot? If so how/why?
I'm thinking of making the switch...well at least open
one eye anyway.

The best tool for determining the proper drain interval for any engine is analyzing the oil. To start, select a reliable lab to do the analysis, and stay with it. Whether it's an oil company or independent testing facility, always use the same location. Lab procedures and conditions do vary. Contract with one source and order a supply of bottles, containers, and labels. This ensures consistent results that you can use for apples-to-apples comparisons.
You'll get a report that shows the amount of metals in parts-per-million (ppm) and Total Base Number (TBN), a measure of alkalinity, which for new oil can be anywhere from seven to 12 or more. The higher the TBN, the greater the ability to fight acid. TBN is often used to indicate how much life is left in oil. When it gets down to two or three, it's time to change even if wear metals are low. One rule of thumb is to track Total Acid Number (TAN), which measures acid content; when TAN exceeds TBN, it's time to change oil.
Each engine manufacturer has limits for how much of each wear metal is acceptable. I've grown up with 100 ppm of iron as its danger zone, but most samples range from the mid-30s to the high 80s. Iron indicates cylinder liner or valve train wear. High copper, lead, and tin show bearing wear. Chromium is from piston rings, and aluminum is from pistons. Silicon may be from dirt or form-in-place gaskets. By charting the amount of each, you can follow how much wear and tear an engine receives.
To figure out how to safely go beyond the manufacturer's recommendation, take a sample of new oil as a baseline. Then take samples at the recommended service intervals. They set the intervals conservatively to minimize warranty claims, so don't worry: You'll have plenty of time to change if a poor report comes back.
If the report is good, take your next samples and subsequent samples at further half-intervals. For example, if the recommendation is to drain oil every 10,000 miles, send a sample at 10,000 miles, and again at 15,000 miles, then at 20,000, and so forth.
Buy fittings that allow technicians to draw samples from internal oil galleries. You'll get a cleaner sample than one siphoned from the filler or dipstick tube.
Extending oil drain intervals doesn't mean you can extend chassis lube intervals, too. You may have to lube trucks somewhere between 5,000 to 15,000 miles, depending on vehicle design, type of grease, and the skill with which it's applied. Synthetic grease lasts longer than mineral-oil-based grease.
Also, squirting grease into a zerk fitting until you see some fresh grease emerge isn't good enough. Wipe away the old grease and grime, and pump until new grease emerges uniformly around the seal. For some fittings, especially steering and suspension, don't stop when the near-side seal is good. Purge the old grease from both sides.
For spring bushings and suspension parts, the question often arises about whether to add grease with the parts loaded (sitting on the wheels) or unloaded (with the chassis jacked and the wheels hanging free). Some fleets play it safe. They do both.
For a more technical discussion on extending drain intervals, check out the American Trucking Associations Technology and Maintenance Council's Recommended Practices (RP) 334 and 1403: "Guideline for Establishing Proper Oil Drain Intervals." RP 1403 is for light- and medium-duty vehicles; RP 334 for heavy-duty diesels. Order copies by calling 703-838-1763.

What to do with lab data on aluminum, chromium, copper, iron, lead, silicon, and tin.
Don't just read the reports, chart them with a spreadsheet.
Plot parts-per-million (ppm) on the vertical axis and miles on the horizontal axis. Connect the dots and look for unusual trends. Soon you'll be able to project when readings will reach critical levels. If you decide on a 30,000-mile or longer drain interval, continue to analyze the oil every 5,000 miles.
If a line moves sharply up or down, change the oil even if ppm values are still acceptable.
Let's say you're tracking iron to an acceptable 100 ppm (see chart below). In this example, the spike from 45 ppm at 30,000 miles to 78 ppm at 35,000 miles is a sure sign that something isn't working properly. Change the oil at once, even though the 78 reading is within the 100 limit.
If the 35,000-mile reading goes down to 26 ppm, you've got a leak. (The fact that you've been adding oil frequently should have alerted you anyway.)
Do this for every wear metal. Charting the amount of each reveals engine wear and tear.

"Ordered this pant for our team. Received quickly and sizes were pretty true to fit. Not as thick as I would like and a little on the shorter side for length. We only have had 1 pant with issues, where the snap came off. I immediately contacted the company, sent pics and returned the pants. I received a replacement pant much faster than I expected, so that was nice." (E21841)

Dear Members,
Abhidhamma Study:Ma~n~nanaa and Papa~nca
[Presented by Dr.Tep Sastri @ SariputtaDhamma/JTN/Mult]
In the earlier message #14893 'ma~n~nanaa' was defined, according to Bhikkhu Bodhi in his translated discourse MN 1, as follows:
"The Pali word we have rendered "conceiving", ma~n~nanaa, comes from the root mean, "to think". ... Ma~n~nanaa is distortional thinking -- thinking which, under the domination of defiled predilection, imputes to its object properties or relational implications grounded not in the thing itself, but in the constructive activity of the subjective imagination".
"The cognitive distortion effected in 'ma~n~nanaa' consists essentially in the intrusion of the egocentric perspective into the domain of perceptual experience. [End quote]
Using less-sophisticated words, conceiving is the thinking that is:
1. distorted by defilements, and 2. accompanied by an egocentric, subjective imagination.
I think one may also simply say this: due to conceiving that is distorted by self views and conceit, the mind object is perceived wrongly.
Now, what about papa~nca?
According to Ajaan Thanissaro Bhikkhu, "in Buddhist philosophical discourse it carries negative connotations, usually of falsification and distortion. The word itself is derived from a root that means diffuseness, spreading, proliferating.
The Pali Commentaries define papa~nca as covering three types of thought:
craving, conceit, and views. They also note that it functions to slow the mind down in its escape from samsara.".
http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka ... .than.html
So, in my humble opinion, both papa~nca and ma~n~nanaa are distorted views; but the latter is narrower, since it only originates from "constructive activity of the subjective imagination".
Love Buddha's dhamma,

I can get a replacement molded plastic dash pad, that looks just like the original dash, its not a cheap looking carpet pad. It retails for $142, email me and I can get you a better price. The price sure as hell beats having to take the entire dash out and putting a new one in.
As far as the door panels, I dont know of a company that makes replacements for that new of a truck yet.
I read about a guy on another message board who swapped out his 88-94 style dash for the new styled dash. He said it was a major pain, and wouldnt want to do it again.

91 chevy dash and doors
I have a 91 chevy truck 4x4. The interior is blue and the dash has two cracks in it and the door panels are falling apart. I have looked at local junk yards and not found anything. Are there any web sights that might have what i am looking for, i have not had any luck finding them...also i DO NOT want that damn carpet cover for the dash. And is it possible to go with the newer interior styles like arround 94 or so. Thanks.

I'm hoping that someone here will be able to point me in the right direction to buying a boba costume or someone that can make one for us. Also I would really appreiciate it if someone could tell me how much it would cost to put a good Boba costume together, thanks in advance.

Public Meeting to Discuss New Plan Check Procedures
On Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 11am we will hold a meeting to discuss a new concurrent plan check procedure. This new procedure is designed to be more time-efficient for building permit applicants as all plans will be reviewed by the various City divisions concurrently, as opposed to the process in place today, which is linearly. The new procedure is anticipated to be rolled out in September, 2012.
The steps in concurrent process are as follows:
1- Each applicant should initially contact the Permit Technician to determine the number of required sets of drawings to submit. The number of sets will be based upon the scope of work; some projects will require plans for the outside plan checker (CSG), Planning, Engineering and Fire. Others will only require CSG and Engineering. As many as 8 sets of plans may be required if plans are required for Planning, Engineering, Fire, Sewer and Environmental Health.
2- Upon submittal of a building permit application and the required number of plans, the Permit Technician will route a set of plans to each division. Initially, each division will have 10 working days to review the plans and provide comments back to the Permit Technician.
3- The Permit Technician will send the comments to the applicant following the review period.
4- The applicant will provide a response to each comment and revised sets of plans totaling the original number of plans submitted. The revised plans must notate the changes on the plans with bubbles. Only the most-recent changes should be bubbled; bubbles must be removed from previous changes. Appropriate use of bubbles will facilitate the staff's subsequent review of the plans.
5- Each division will have 5 working days to review the plans and provide comment.
6- If staff has follow-up comments on the revised plans each division will provide their respective comment(s) and subsequent rounds of review will occur as described above in Step 3.
7- If there are no comments on the revised plans each division will have 5 working days to approve the plans.
8- The building permit will then be issued.
Notably, this new concurrent process is more efficient than the process currently in place. Today plans are being reviewed consecutively—they are routed to Planning, and following Planning review, they are sent to Engineering, and so forth. By using the new concurrent process each division has a set amount of time to review their individual set of plans and provide comment at the same time. This provides surety to the applicant as to when comments will be received.
Contact Lilly Schinsing at 415/289-4134 or email@example.com if you have any questions.
Building Inspector and Friday Services
Effective August 24, 2012 and until further notice, the Building Inspector will NOT be available on Fridays.
The Planning Commission will hold a meeting beginning at 6:30pm on Wednesday, August 22. Item 2 on their agenda will be the continued discussion of the Housing Element Update Initial Environmental Study/Negative Declaration. The purpose of the meeting will be to continue to take public comment on the document. The public comment period will be continued until September 5, 2012 (the subsequent Planning Commission meeting).

text: Just tweeted by @USFigureSkating. Ice dance siblings Rachel & Michael Parsons won their first international medal (bronze) at the JGP in Zagreb, Croatia this past fall, and were contenders for the Junior World team. My hearsay info is that he is injured. . Their official site: http://www.parsons.ice-dance.com/ Re-posting from the 2013 US Nationals forum: ETA that the new fill-up rule for pair and dance teams does not apply because there are now 12 Junior dance teams at Nationals (due to Aldridge/Eaton's JGPF bye). If there had been 11, I believe the 5th place Jr. dance team at Pacific Coasts could have replaced Parsons/Parsons.
