Caricature and the Literature of Sport
§ 9. Pierce Egan;
Life in London
The Microcosm of London
was dedicated to the prince of Wales, afterwards George IV. So, also, in the year after his accession to the throne, was a less august work, which still, in its way, reflects the interest in London and the interest in ordinary life, both of which had been fostered by the influence of caricature and the increasing popularity of illustrated books. The book referred to was Pierce Egans
Life in London; or, The Day and Night Scenes of Jerry Hawthorn, Esq. and his elegant friend Corinthian Tom, accompanied by Bob Logic, The Oxonian, in their Rambles and Sprees through the Metropolis,
a work which was issued in and after July, 1821, in shilling numbers. Of Pierce Egan, the author of this work, more will be said in connection with books on sport. A journalist, and a well-known character in his day, he wrote nothing so popular as this
Life in London.
Indeed, the taste for it amounted to a craze. For his illustrations, Egan went to two brothers, Isaac Robert and George Cruikshank, sons of a Scottish artist who had settled in London. George Cruikshank, the younger and abler brother, had already maintained the succession from Gillray and Rowlandson as a political caricaturist. His designs in
The Scourge
The Meteor;
his plates in William Combes hudibrastic poem
The Life of Napoleon
(181415); his coloured etchings in
The Humourist,
a collection of comic tales published in 181921, and his many caricatures of Napoleon, of the prince regent and his wife, of Frenchmen and of the excesses of English fashion, had laid the foundations of a fame which was greatly increased by his work for
Life in London.
Each of the coloured plates is stated to be by I. R. and G. Cruikshank; but, later in his life, George Cruikshank, by then a reformed character and an ardent teetotaller, declared that his doubts about the morality of Egans work had caused him to leave two-thirds of the illustration to be done by his brother Robert. Be that as it may, the success of the work was so great that the artists could not colour the engravings fast enough for the demand. It suited the taste of the time, when a fast life had become a sophisticated and conscious aim.
Life in London
is a guide to a fast life. Egan was a sporting man who did not sport. Except for a jejunely described run with hounds, a statement that Corinthian Tom had a set-to with John Jackson, the ex-champion pugilist of England, at his rooms in Bond street, and some praise from Toms friends for his superior style and coolness and skill in a fencingbout with Oshaunessy, there is not a word of true sport in the book. The remainder is mainly drinking, gambling, rioting, cock-fighting and other branches of debauchery, either practised or contemplated by the friends. It is significant that, of the three adventurers, the name of Corinthian Tom appears in the largest type upon the title-page. Tom, indeed, is the hero of the tale. He is the ideal man about town; and, however lavishly the author may praise his elegance and accomplishment, he remains the type of the polished blackguard, unworthy to associate with his country cousin, Jerry Hawthorn, the cheery fool to whom he shows the pleasures of the town, and only a shade more intolerable than the bestial creature, Bob Logic, who is intended for a model of good-humour and wit. In his first chapter, or invocation, Egan appeals to Fielding, Goldsmith, Smollett and Sterne (Come, then, he characteristically writes, thou shades of departed talent). His book, with its leer and wink of knowing vice, its sickly affectation of warning young men from the haunts and pursuits that it lusciously describes, would have disgusted even Sterne in the moments when his physical weakness was most perverting his facile imagination. The candid rogues of great picaresque fiction would be ashamed to own Tom or Logic for their kin. Thackeray, indulging in sentimental reminiscences in days when the literary contents of the book had passed sheer away from his memory, declared that, in the days when the work appeared,
we firmly believed the three heroes above named to be types of the most elegant, fashionable young fellows the town afforded, and thought their occupations and amusements were those of all highbred English gentlemen.
Twenty years later, when he had read the literary contents of the book again, he said:
But the style of the writing, I own, was not pleasing to me; I even thought it a little vulgar and as a description of the sports and amusements of London in the ancient times, more curious than amusing.
Thackeray, therefore, nowhere has a good word to say for anything about
Life in London
except the pictures. More curious than amusing is a just criticism. The work is curious, partly for the details that it furnishes of London life in a period when manners were very pompous or very vulgar; and partly for its wealth in the slang of the time. Egan was a master of the flash and the flashy; and
Life in London
contains as many slang phrases as he could put into it. Two years later, he was to furnish the slang phrases to Francis Groses
Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue
(1823); and one of his two illustrators, George Cruikshank, had already drawn a plate for Andrewess
Dictionary of the Slang and Cant Languages
Part of the success enjoyed by the work was due, no doubt, to its readers belief that they could name the originals of the fictitious characters. Imitations came swift and frequent. In the summer of 1822 plays founded upon the story were being acted at no less than ten theatres in and about London; and among the adapters were Charles Dibdin, whose version was played at the Olympic, and W. T. Moncrieff, whose play ran for more than 300 nights at the Adelphi theatre. It was Moncrieff who, in answer to the accusation that Egan and he had made their age the age of flash, replied in the wellknown but inconclusive saying, Any age is better than the age of cantcant implying, of course, the protests of certain portions of the press and of some religious bodies. Egan himself produced, in 1822, a dramatic version of the story, which was played without success (save for a pony-race round the theatre) at Astleys. The book was, also, translated into French. Out of the sixtyfive imitations of it which Egan stated that he had reckoned, the most important was
Real Life in London, or, the Rambles and Adventures of Bob Tallyho, Esq. and his cousin, the Hon. Tom Dashall, through the Metropolis; exhibiting a living picture of fashionable characters, manners, and amusements in high and low life,
which was published in sixpenny numbers in 1821, with excellent illustrations by Heath, Alken, Dighton, Rowlandson and others.
Real Life in London
is a pleasanter book than its prototype. Some have held that Egan wrote it; but the author had a purer style, a cleaner mind and a wider knowledge of London than Egan. The book shows many more sides of London life than his; though the formal descriptions of wellknown scenes or buildings, here and there inserted amid matter of a very different character, recall very forcibly Mr. Bouncers letters to his aunt in
Verdant Green.
Another imitation was
Life in Paris: The Rambles of Dick Wildfire
(1821), written, it is suspected, by David Carey, and illustrated by George Cruikshank, who had never been to Paris, but was accustomed to drawing his own idea of French people in his caricatures, and took his scenes from the drawings and paintings of other artists.

Is your Facebook page secure? With such a critical marketing tool, are you keeping your virtual house locked and safe?
With so much focus on managing the wall and running promotions, Facebook page security is often overlooked.
The good news is that Facebook's security is actually quite effective. SSL encryption greatly reduces the chance of a page being hacked by a malicious script to take over the page or bypass its content.
However, while Facebook's security from external threats is great, there are still threats that every page admin needs to be aware of.
So here are five ways to keep your page safe and secure.
#1: Moderate your page's admins
Many companies collect page admins over time because they fail to remove old ones. Add up the social media managers, graphic artists, web designers and even interns, and pages can have dozens of admins.

From HaskellWiki
1 About
HQK is an effort to provide Haskell bindings to large parts of the Qt and KDE libraries. The project may also be useful for bindings to other C++ libraries.
2 Achievements
We have developed a generator which produces binding code mostly automatically. In addition, we have developed a small Haskell module for accessing object-oriented libraries in a convenient way. This module also supports parts of Qt's signal-slot mechanism. In contrast to the original C++-based solution, type correctness of signal-slot connections is checked at compile time with our library.
3 People
The binding generator was developed by Thomas Mönicke under the supervision of Wolfgang Jeltsch.
4 Releases
We try to release our binding generator as soon as possible. If you want to have a look at it before the release, please contact Wolfgang Jeltsch.
5 Applications
We plan to develop a HQK-based UI backend for the Functional Reactive Programming library Grapefruit, thereby making Grapefruit multi-platform. If you are interested in working on such a backend, consider joining the 5th Haskell Hackathon.

U.S. stocks gained while Treasuries trimmed an earlier advance as the House voted to temporarily suspend the the federal debt limit. The yen climbed for a third day after the Bank of Japan deferred new monetary stimulus.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index added 0.1% to 1,494.37 at 1:26 p.m., while a rally in International Business Machines Corp. drove the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 75 points to above its best closing level since October 2007. Ten-year note yields decreased one basis points to 1.83%. Japan's currency rose 0.2% to 88.55 per dollar, poised for its first three-day increase since November. Portugal's 10-year yield slid as the nation prepared to return to the bond market.
The House voted 285-144 to lift the nation's debt ceiling through mid-May as a Bloomberg poll showed global investors say the state of the American government's finances is the greatest risk to the world economy. The International Monetary Fund cut its global growth forecasts and now projects a second year of contraction in the euro region as progress in battling Europe's debt crisis fails to produce economic recovery.
"We are still pretty constrained by the range and the debt-ceiling debate," said Larry Milstein, managing director in New York of government-debt trading at R.W. Pressprich & Co. "We are clearly closer to the bottom of the range, 1.75% to 2.05% on the 10-year. We may test the lower ends of this range."
Debt Ceiling
Thirty-year bonds held two days of gains, with the yield little changed at 3.03%, as the Federal Reserve purchased $1.474 billion in longer-term debt. Inflation expectations dropped from the highest in almost three months as the U.S. prepares to sell $15 billion in 10-year inflation-indexed debt tomorrow.
The House voted to suspend the government's $16.4 trillion borrowing limit until May 19, when the measure would allow the U.S.'s borrowing authority to automatically be increased to accommodate the amount the Treasury borrowed during those three months. Republicans plan to use two other approaching deadlines, the March 1 start of automatic spending cuts and the need to pass a bill to fund the government by the end of March, to extract spending reductions.
The debt ceiling "is a risk that is constantly weighing," said Bernard Delattre, president of Altimeo Asset Management in Paris. "It can bring volatility to the market in the short term."

The application process for the London 2012 Summer Olympics had finished two weeks ago and now sports fans across the globe have the chance to see if they can afford to snap up tickets for the Paralympics at London 2012 as well
The London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, published its prices for the approximately two million tickets that will go on sale for the Paralympics from 9 September 2011. Tickets will cost as little as £5 for children and pensioners and £10 for adults. In fact the organisers say half of the two million tickets will be priced at £10 or less, 95% will cost £50 or less and 75% of tickets will be £20 or less.
As with the Summer Olympic Games, the most expensive tickets will be for the best seats at the opening ceremony but London 2012 Paralympics organisers hope low prices will bring big crowds to all the events.
The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: "In 2012 London will play host to the world's most exciting and talented Paralympic sportspeople. Interest is already huge and with some great ticket prices I want as many people as possible to be part of this fantastic event. From tennis to fencing and boccia to basketball, there is something for everyone, so start checking out what you want to see now so you are ready for when the tickets go on sale."
The website for tickets is the same as beforewww.tickets.london2012.com.I think the Paralympics at London 2012 will be a great time to see the venues you may have missed in the rush for the Summer Games tickets. I am particularly interested in getting hold of Olympic Stadium tickets for the mens athletics. I think the UK's best athlete is David Weir and is someone I would definitely pay money to see. The London based athlete comes from just round the corner from me and is an inspiration to all. Check out his profile page and please add to it if you want its at David Weir
Aviva did an advert featuring David Weir and his father recently. It is a great piece of video and his fathers narration is something special.
Chanel Four will be covering the Paralympics at London 2012 in the UK and they have a good website with lots of interviews and great images at the Channel 4 Paralympics website

NH police plan to attend service for fallen MIT officerBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
April 22. 2013 9:12PM
Police officers in New Hampshire are making plans to attend a memorial service Wednesday for the police officer who authorities say was brutally murdered Thursday night by the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Police departments in Belmont, Dover, Gilford and Keene said officers were discussing how best to go to the service for Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer Sean Collier.
Keene Police Sgt. Jason Short said his department will be sending "at least four of our people," adding that "a lot of off-duty officers will probably go on their own."
"None of us like going to any of these, but it's a brother we lost in service," Short said. "This one is particularly tough because it hit so close to home."
The service, which was announced on the MIT website on Monday, will honor Collier, 26, who was shot multiple times in a late-night confrontation with Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, police said.
Collier, a Wilmington, Mass., native, started working at MIT in January 2012. On Thursday night at 10:20 p.m., gunshots were reported on campus. Soon after, Collier was found shot in his vehicle, outside the school's Stata Center. He was later pronounced dead at Massachusetts General Hospital.
Police said he was killed execution-style in his cruiser, having not drawn his weapon.
The service will be held at noon at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., with law enforcement officers expected from all over the country. The funeral and the wake will be private at the family's request, according to the MIT announcement.
Belmont police will likely send six to 10 officers to the service, Lt. Richard Mann said, in what may be a caravan of officers from the Lakes Region.
"It hit all of us especially hard, particularly the way he died," Mann said. "It's terrible."
Gilford Police Chief Kevin Keenan said his department would likely be sending officers as well.
"It was a horrific set of events, I think it's appropriate that we send people," he said. "It's another fellow police officer we have lost."
Dover Police Capt. Bill Breault said, "It's safe to say we'll have a number of officers there.
"Any time a member of law enforcement dies, it's tough; they're all tough to go to," Breault added. "This was a tremendous sacrifice by one of our fellow officers."
Police officers from the state's largest forces also will be represented. Manchester, Laconia and Concord police will send contingents to the service. New Hampshire State Police also will be represented.

From the podium in San Jose's DoubleTree Hotel, Jasper Design Automation President & CEO Kathryn Kranen introduced tonight's EDAC CEO Forecast Event as being "practically perfection" and she was right. With 97 people in the room, the event ran for 97 minutes and the audience [undoubtedly] gave the panel discussion a 97% approval rating. Kudos to all involved, including EDAC for hosting, and OCP-IP, Mod Marketing, and the DoubleTree for sponsoring the event.
Kranen started off the evening by bragging on good news out of EDA: It's up and to the right for revenue in the industry, with a 4.9 percent increase between 3Q11 and 3Q12. She cited increased stock valuations over the last year for ARM [37%], Cadence [30%], Mentor [26%], PDF Solutions [98%], and Synopsys [17%] as an indication of the viability of EDA as an investment vehicle: If you'd put $100 into each of these companies a year ago, she said, you would have netted a 41% increase in a portfolio today worth $706.90, beating out other investment indices such as the NASDAQ and S&P 100 over the same time period.

House Fire Kills 3 Children, Man In Eastern Ohio
House Fire Kills 3 Children, Man In Eastern Ohio
EAST LIVERPOOL, Ohio —
Fire officials say three children and a man were killed when a fire destroyed a house in far eastern Ohio.
Fire Chief William Jones says the blaze was reported Saturday shortly after midnight at a home in East Liverpool, and firefighters arrived within minutes. Jones says three boys ranging from 5 to 11 years old were killed, as was a man in his 30s.
Authorities are withholding their names until relatives could be notified.
Jones said the state fire marshal's office is investigating the blaze, and the cause hasn't been determined. No other injuries were reported.
Jones says it's the deadliest fire he's seen in more than two decades with the department.

Emissions Control Areas to be Imposed Around the US Coast
The Environmental Protection Agency yesterday announced the proposed introduction of emissions control areas (ECAs) around the coast of America. This action aims to protect Amercian citizens living and working in and around America's coastal regions by decreasing the amount of air pollution caused by the harmful emissions released by oil tankers and ships, and would see an area of 230 miles of the American coastline designated as a buffer zone.
Earthjustice, a public interest law group who act on behalf of organisations, groups and coalitions to help strengthen and enforce environmental laws, have challenged EPA's proposal however, as it omits the arctic waters of Alaska. One of Earthjustice's attourneys from their environmental law program, Sarah Burt, commented that,
"By initiating this process, EPA has taken an important step forward in protecting the health of port communities and the coastal environment from harmful ship pollution. However, by failing to include most of the waters off the coast of Alaska, EPA has left a gaping hole in the nation's environmental and human health protections."
This omission is of particular concern due to the anticipated melting of sea ice around Alaska that would leave the route open for more ships and tankers to be passing through this delicate eco-system. Earthjustice have submitted a letter to the EPA requesting the amendment of the policy to extend the area of the ECA to cover the Alaskan coast.

ATHENS, OH -November 27, 2006- LibLime, the leader in open-source solutions for libraries, announced today that the next generation of librarians at Texas Woman's University in Denton, TX are training with Koha, the first open-source ILS.
Koha ILS was selected by Dr. Diane Neal, Assistant Professor at TWU's School of Library and Information Studies, as a learning tool for students taking coursework in library automation. Dr. Neal, formerly a Systems Librarian for University of Texas at Arlington, is a strong proponent of open-source software in libraries. "I chose Koha for several reasons," says Dr. Neal. "First, its web-based staff side interface makes it possible for students to access Koha easily from their own computers. This was a major concern, because the class is taught entirely online, and for that reason, it would be difficult for me to distribute desktop-based clients. Additionally, I believe that the philosophy of open-source software closely aligns with the philosophy of libraries as community-oriented organizations, so I choose to advocate open-source software in support of that alignment."
LibLime is hosting the demo systems for the class pro bono. "We're tremendously excited to see Koha being used in a classroom setting," says LibLime's President, Technology and Koha Release Manager Joshua Ferraro. "It is a great opportunity for librarians to get hands-on experience with open source. Nothing dispels fear of new technology like using it yourself. We're confident that the advantages of open source speak for themselves."
And how have the students reacted to the concept of open-source software in libraries? "My students have done an excellent job of weighing the advantages and disadvantages of open-source software in libraries. I assigned a discussion question on this topic, and they were quite analytical about the topic," says Dr. Neal.
Students were quick to see the advantages of open source which include the freedom to customize and cost-effectiveness, as well as the shared values which make open-source software and libraries a natural match: free access and community-driven knowledge. TWU student Vidya Krishnaswamy puts it best: "I am a strong supporter for the open-source software because its principles are so much similar and closer to the values and principles we as librarians believe which is free and equal access to data, information, and knowledge."
Is learning about library automation by using Koha likely to influence students' technology decisions when they themselves have to someday choose between open-source and proprietary software? "I am not sure yet whether this project will lead students to choose open-source or non-open-source solutions for their libraries in the future, but I am positive that the experience they are getting from this project is invaluable experience for them," says Dr. Neal. "Overall, my goal has been to provide a safe environment for students to explore the process of configuring integrated library systems, the communication issues and management decisions involved in a system configuration, and the nature of open-source software."
Neal's class, currently called Automation in the Library, will be called Library Technology Systems beginning Fall 2007. An elective course scheduled to be offered each fall, the class will introduce approximately 25 new students to Koha each quarter. In the words of TWU student Gayle Gordon: "The future of the library profession will depend in large part on how we handle technology." LibLime couldn't agree more, and we're confident that future is open source.
About Koha
Koha is a full-featured Open Source library management system first deployed in January 2000 at Horowhenua Library Trust. It is currently maintained by a team of software providers and library technology staff from around the globe. Since it was first put into production in early 2000, Koha has enabled new realities of open access, affordability, and free innovation for hundreds of small and medium-sized libraries around the world. Koha has lived up to its name, which means `Gift' in the Maori language of New Zealand. From the outset, many libraries understood the power of this gift. They downloaded it, they installed it, they changed it, and they contributed their solutions back to the library community.
Several companies around the world support Koha, providing libraries with a full array of vendor services including installation, migration assistance, data integrity testing, staff training, software maintenance, support and customization.

On July 17, 2007, USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced a final rule to revise and reorganize its regulations pertaining to the importation of fruits and vegetables, otherwise known as its Q-56 regulations. The purpose of the final rule is to simplify and expedite the APHIS process for approving new imports and pest-free areas, and to allow APHIS officials to focus its resources on more complex import issues.
The changes in the rule do not alter which fruits and vegetables are currently eligible for importation or how the risks associated with those commodities are evaluated or mitigated. This rule only makes more timely the approval of fruits and vegetables that are safe for importation into the United States.
On October 29, 2008, APHIS launched a new searchable online database, known as the Fruits and Vegetables Import Requirements—or FAVIR—database. FAVIR allows customers to search, by commodity or country, for authorized fruits and vegetables and their requirements for importation into the United States.
APHIS developed the FAVIR database in response to the June 2007 final rule, also known as Quaratine 56, or the Q56 revision, that established a streamlined approach for the importation of certain fruits and vegetables without specific prior rulemaking. Commodities approved under the Q56 revision would not be reflected in the Code of Federal Regulations, but rather in an online database.

Teacher Saves Student's Life
BATTLE GROUND, Wash. (AP) — The mother of a 6-year-old Battle Ground boy says her son's kindergarten teacher is his "guardian angel" after performing the Heimlich maneuver on him yesterday. Hunter Schofield went up to teacher Toni Brammer with a red face yesterday and when she asked if he was choking, he nodded yes. She did the maneuver; out popped a fruit snack.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is calling the killing of health workers trying to vaccinate Pakistani children against polio in a U.N.-backed campaign "cruel, senseless and inexcusable."
Gunmen killed a woman working on vaccination efforts and her driver Wednesday, raising to eight the number of people killed in the last 48 hours who were part of the immunization drive. Suspicion has fallen on the Pakistani Taliban because of their opposition to the polio campaign.
Ban said at his year-end news conference that the eight killed were among thousands across Pakistan "working selflessly to achieve the historic goal of polio eradication."
The killings Wednesday prompted the U.N. World Health Organization to suspend the vaccination drive in two of Pakistan's four provinces. Pakistan is one of only three countries where polio is endemic.

Last year. I installed a 9000 btu Freidrich mini split in my 1920's bungalow in Portland, OR. My wife could not be happier! Very easy installation. We set it at 72F and forget it. It heats the entire home. We never adjust it until we turn it off in the spring and back on in the fall (last week). Cost to operate runs between $0.5 to $2/day depending on temps. Its cheaper and better IAQ than firewood. I recommend the mini split to everyone.
You say that you power your home. How?
Hello, we sell Friedrich brand. They are the preferred PTAC manufacturer for Marriott hotels and L.A. schools.
We have been very happy with their mini-split product. The product is inverter technology and so it qualified for utility rebates in our area and contractors have been buying from us. Only two problems in a year and both were due to freight damage not mfg. defect.
our retail website is gpconservation.com
Agree that the mini split systems do a great job heating/cooling and are very efficient. I installed a 15,000btu Mits in my 1,000 sq foot insulated garage (12' ceiling) in VA and the Mits can keep up with about any temperature swing. Energy consumption is very small. The only complaint I have is during the humid summer days (dewpoint 70+), the Mits just can't get the inside humidity down because it operates so efficiently. So the garage feels cool and damp. If I switch the Mits to "Dry" mode... then the garage gets nice and comfy in less than an hour. Someone explained to me that in "Cool" mode the compressor is operating at less than full capacity, therefore removing less moisture. In "Dry" mode, the compressor is running at 100% and removes double the quantity of water. I tested this using a measuring cup on the condensate line and got double the amount of water in "Dry" mode versus "Cool" mode. The only downside to "Dry" mode is there's no way to set the temperature. :( So when I plan to work in the garage on a hot steamy day, I'll set the Mits to "Dry" mode about an hour before I begin work to dry things out a bit.
Good information regarding humidity control.
Here's another new study on mini-splits. 59% of customers who had them installed would recommend to a friend, and table #4 on page 6 has some interesting market share stats.
Tom -
Thanks for referencing the study from the Pacific Northwest. However, you slightly misquoted the info on customer referrals. On page 12 of the study it says:
"Fifty-nine percent of the Initiative participants stated that they have recommended DHPs to a friend, colleague or family member. Another 34 percent said that they would suggest DHPs, while only four percent said that they would not."
Bottomline, 93% have already or would recommmend a ductless heat pump to a friend.
Wow, 93% is an overwhelmingly positive endorsement of this technology. Thanks Linda for your close(r) read!
- Tom
Another thing about mini-splits is proper sizing is easier to enforce since there are no ridiculously large sizes.
Hello folks, thanks for all the great in put. I ended up buying a slightly used (was show floor display) Mitsubishi 1 ton unit for $900. Bigger than I needed but could not beat the price. Will only be using for heat not cooling as we live in the mountains near Asheville, NC. Our weather over the last week or so has been cool, down in low 40's at night. We have not moved into the house yet so nothing was running other than the mini split. Over 24 hours only used 8KWh so I am happy with the unit except for one issue. Set the unit for 67 degrees but it never completely shuts off. Inside fan runs all the time putting out a small amount of heat. For my 800 sq foot house which I tried to hit the Passivehaus standard this low running mode over heats the house, Temp would go up to 73 degrees or so with unit set at 66 degrees. I was hoping to use the unit set at perhaps 65 and have it come on only if the house reached that temp but it will run all the time. Looking into a hard wired thermostat to see if that would solve the problem. I do like the drying mode the unit has. My house is currently at 120 CFM50 so moisture will be an issue and hope the drying mode of the Mitsubishi will solve that problem as I have been told an HRV or ERV system will not do a lot of drying. But again thanks for all the great comments. James

Cherished as symbols of purity and perfection, elegance and affluence, pearls are unusual gems, created inside living animals called mollusks. Occurring naturally in a wide range of sizes, shapes and colors, pearls have long captured the attention of scientists as well as socialites.
Any mollusk that produces a shell can produce a pearl. Nevertheless, naturally occurring pearls are rare, found in perhaps one of every 10,000 animals. The cultured pearl industry, which has flourished since the early 20th century, has developed techniques to greatly improve these odds. Indeed, more pearls are produced now than at any time in human history.
Unlike gemstones produced deep inside the Earth, pearls are created by living creatures called mollusks.
In their quest for both pearls and mother-of-pearl, people have sometimes taken extraordinary measures.
Freshwater pearl mussels produce pearls that can rival those of marine mollusks in luster and diverse color.
The best-known sources of pearls are marine mollusks, especially the pearl oysters, conchs and abalone found worldwide.
Throughout the ages, humans have been enchanted by pearls and the shells of the mollusks that produce them.
Curators from the American Museum of Natural History and The Field Museum in Chicago collaborated on the Pearls exhibition.
The Exhibitions Department, in cooperation with other Museum staff members and scientific divisions, is responsible for both the design and construction of the Pearls exhibition.
The American Museum of Natural History is most grateful to Tasaki Shinju, for its generous support of the Pearls exhibition.

The Big Red was led by Nathe's meet-and-season-best mark of 9.85. DeZiel added a 9.825 to finish second overall, while Wong added a 9.80 to tie for third.
NU Ranked No. 9 in Latest Standings
The Huskers came in at ninth nationally in the latest GymInfo national team rankings, holding a season average of 196.283 and an RQS (Regional Qualifying Score) of 196.105. NU pulled down rankings of No. 7 nationally on bars (49.063) and beam (49.042), as well as a No. 10 spot on floor (49.025) and 11th on vault (49.154).
Florida continued its reign at the top of the rankings with an average of 197.296, closely followed by No. 2 Oklahoma at 197.171. No. 3 Michigan (196.939), No. 4 Alabama (196.842) and No. 5 UCLA (196.650) rounded out the nation's top five. Six Big Ten teams appeared in the top 25; in addition to Michigan and Nebraska, Minnesota (No. 12), Illinois (No. 18), Ohio State (No. 20) and Penn State (No. 24) all captured spots.
Three Huskers collected six total top-20 appearances in the individual rankings. Emily Wong picked up three top-15 appearances alone, coming in at fifth in the all-around (39.440) and tying for 10th on bars (9.867) and 11th on floor (9.885). Brittany Skinner captured the No. 8 spot on vault (9.906) after earning her third event title of the season last week at Arizona. Jessie DeZiel earned the No. 13 ranking on bars (9.862) and the No. 19 spot in the all-around (39.288).
Up Next for Nebraska
The Huskers will host their final home meet of the season on Monday, March 4 when they welcome conference foe Iowa to the Bob Devaney Sports Center for Senior Night. The meet, which is slated for a 6 p.m. CST start, will honor seniors Janelle Giblin, Kassandra Nathe and Brittany Skinner as they compete in their final competition at home for Nebraska. The evening will also be Student Appreciation Night, with the first 100 students receiving a free slice of Valentino's pizza.
The Iowa Hawkeyes hold a 5-4 ranking in 2013, including a 1-4 mark in Big Ten action. UI boasts wins over Ball State, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Michigan State and Illinois-Chicago. The Hawkeyes are led by Head Coach Larissa Libby, who is in her ninth year at the helm of the Iowa program. She is joined by assistants Jacob Lee and Caleb Phillips.
Noting the Masters Classic
The Huskers will host the 23rd annual Masters Classic this weekend in Lincoln, dating back to the inaugural meet in 1989. NU has captured 19 Masters Classic team titles in that time period and holds all of the top five team scores recorded at the competition. Nebraska earned the 2012 Masters Classic title with a team score of 196.55, defeating No. 20 Washington, No. 22 Michigan and Southern Utah at the Devaney Center.
Skinner Soars on Vault
After being sidelined for Nebraska's first two meets, senior Brittany Skinner has made her presence known in Nebraska's vault lineup. A native of Los Altos, Calif., Skinner has scored no lower than a 9.875 on the event in her last four meets, including career-best scores of 9.925 against Ohio State (1/25) and Penn State (2/10). She has earned three vault titles in that time and is also ranked No. 8 nationally on the event. A 2010 first-team All-American on vault, Skinner is expected to continue making an impact on the Husker lineup throughout the season.
Steady Nathe Earns Beam Title
Senior Kassandra Nathe has been a reliable component of NU's beam lineup this season, consistently delivering solid scores to aid the Huskers. Her efforts paid off last Saturday against Arizona, when the Sartell, Minn., native hit a 9.85 to capture the beam title on the day. The award marked Nathe's third career event title, her second on beam and her first this season.
Big Ten Championships to Air Live on BTN
The Big Ten Network (BTN) has announced that it will televise both session of the Big Ten Women's Gymnastics Championships live on March 23. The first session of the event will air at 12 noon CST, while the second session is set for a 5 p.m. CST start. Michigan State will host the event in East Lansing, Mich., at the Breslin Center.
Defending Conference Champions Look for Continued Success
After winning its second consecutive conference title and its first in the Big Ten, Nebraska returns to the gym with even higher expectations for 2013. NU will welcome back seven total letterwinners from last season, including six All-Americans, while adding four newcomers to the roster. With a solid core of veterans and a stockpile of talent and depth, Head Coach Dan Kendig believes his 20th season with the Huskers has the makings of a top team on the national scene.
"We've come a long way since the beginning of the year and put in a lot of work in the gym, the community and the classroom," Kendig said. "Top to bottom, this season can be better than last season. If we keep working hard each day and getting better, I see good things on the horizon for this year."
Six All-Americans Poised to Lead Huskers in 2013
NU's efforts this season will be anchored by its six returning All-Americans, including three honorees that captured eight awards last season. Jessie DeZiel, Janelle Giblin and Emily Wong headline a group that has won 16 awards since 2010 and also includes seniors Kassandra Nathe and Brittany Skinner and junior Jamie Schleppenbach.
Nebraska will look for sustained success from its vaulting corps as it fields four previous All-Americans. The group is led by 2012 first-team All-American Giblin and second-team honoree DeZiel alongside previous first-teamers Schleppenbach and Skinner.
The Huskers will also welcome back three previous All-Americans in both all-around competition and on uneven bars. Notably returning to the competition floor on bars this season is 2010 second-team All-American Nathe, who has missed the past two seasons due to injury. Nathe is expected to provide a spark as well as depth to NU's bar lineup in 2013. Nebraska returns two All-Americans on floor and beam as well.
Kendig Builds One of Nation's Top Programs
Now in his 20th year at the helm of the Nebraska gymnastics program, Head Coach Dan Kendig is the all-time winningest coach in Nebraska history. Kendig holds a 440-170-4 record overall and a 291-68-2 regular-season mark. An eight-time conference coach of the year selection, Kendig most recently earned Big Ten Coach of the Year honors last season after guiding the 2012 Huskers to the program's 22nd conference title.
Kendig has also led the Huskers to 15 NCAA Championship appearances in the past 18 season, including NCAA Super Six Finals appearances in 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2011. Kendig was honored as the NCAA Coach of the Year in 1999 and 2003, a year in which the Huskers finished fourth nationally. He guided the 2012 Huskers to a 24-7 record overall, including an eighth-place finish at the 2012 NCAA Championships in Duluth, Ga. The performance marked Nebraska's 28th consecutive NCAA post season appearance, while three of Kendig's gymnasts--Jessie DeZiel (FX, AA, V), Janelle Giblin (V, UB) and Emily Wong (BB, FX, AA)--earned All-America honors.
NU Assistants Set to Lead Huskers in 2013
Joining Kendig in his leadership of the Huskers this season will be second-year assistant coaches Heather Brink and Dan Miller. Brink will continue her role in the gym as the team's beam coach while assisting with floor choreography. In her first season as an assistant with the Huskers, Brink helped coach Emily Wong to first-team All-America honors on beam. Brink's assistance with NU's floor routines also guided Jessie DeZiel to first-team All-America honors and Wong to second-team honors on the event.
Miller will continue to lead NU's efforts on vault and floor in 2013. During his first season at Nebraska in 2012, Miller guided DeZiel to first-team All-America honors on floor and second-team honors on vault. He also assisted in the development of Janelle Giblin, who earned first-team honors on vault, and Wong, who picked up second-team honors on floor. The gymnasts under Miller's tutelage in 2012 garnered a total of 15 floor titles and 14 vault titles throughout the season.
Volunteer assistant coach Owen Field, now in his third season in that position, will aid NU's full-time staff in 2013. Field will assist head coach Dan Kendig on the uneven bars while also assisting with the Huskers' strength and conditioning program.


text: Alright I drafted Braylon Edwards in one of my leagues so I thought it would be good to see him in the game running his routes and stuff. I was thinking before the game he would be in there against a few corners just running around and maybe catching a ball and that was about it but after watching the game I was amazed. Not sure if any of you watched this game but Edwards was laying out people on blocks making catches I was amazed to see him playing the way he was. Unbelievable.

Keywords: Non-Explosion Proof, Pan-Tilt Zoom, Plant Security, Plant Safety, Monitoring Camera, Manufacturing, Automation.
Yokogawa Electric Corporation announced the release of the first model in the new Fieldeye II series of all-weather CCD cameras for the monitoring of plant facilities and premises. This new model, the FC33U, is non-explosion proof and has pan-tilt zoom functionality. Yokogawa plans to release an explosion proof model by the end of this year.
The monitoring camera market has been expanding worldwide, driven by the recent increase in awareness of the need for heightened plant security. To improve plant safety, monitoring cameras that deliver high performance yet are easy-to-install are in demand. In response to these market needs, Yokogawa has developed this new Fieldeye II series all-weather CCD color camera with features as follows:
Compact and light, yet rugged and corrosion-resistant
In contrast to the Fieldeye series, which used an aluminum enclosure, Fieldeye II series enclosures are made of robust, corrosion-resistant SUS316L stainless steel. Although stainless steel is about three times denser than aluminum, the new enclosure weights about the same as the aluminum enclosures used on the company's earlier products, thanks to its small size (made possible by the redesign of camera system components) and the use of a thin-wall stainless steel casting process.
The FC33U is one of the most compact non-explosion proof pan-tilt zoom type CCD camera systems on the market today, and is also one of the lightest products employing a stainless steel construction. With these characteristics, the FC33U is easier to install and can be used in a greater variety of locations.
Camera with high sensitivity, magnification, and resolution
As a standard feature, the camera unit, a core component of this product, has superior sensitivity (minimum illumination: 0.5 lux), zoom magnification (36x optical and 20x digital), and horizontal resolution (650 TV lines). As such, it is one of the best-performing plant monitoring cameras on the market today.
Major applications includes the monitoring of processes and facilities at oil, petrochemical, chemical, pulp paper, pharmaceutical, food, and iron and steel plants.

The article below is excerpted from John Nichols and Robert McChesney's new book The Death and Life of American Journalism.
The founders of the American experiment were even by their own measures imperfect democrats. But they understood something about sustaining democracy that their successors seem to have forgotten. Everyone agrees that a free society requires a free press. But a free press without the resources to compensate those who gather and analyze information, and to distribute that information widely and in an easily accessible form, is like a seed without water or sunlight. It was with this understanding that Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton and their contemporaries instituted elaborate systems of postal and printing subsidies to assure that freedom of the press would never be an empty promise; to that end they guaranteed what Madison described as "a circulation of newspapers through the entire body of the people…[that] is favorable to liberty."
Two centuries after Madison wrote those words, American news media are being steered off the cliff by investors and corporate managers who soured on their "properties" when the economic downturn dried up what was left of their advertising bonanza. They are taking journalism with them. Newsrooms are shrinking and disappearing altogether, along with statehouse, Washington and foreign bureaus. And with them goes the circulation of news and ideas that is indispensable to liberty. This is a dire moment for democracy, and it requires a renewal of one of America's oldest understandings: that a free people can govern themselves only if they have access to independent information about the issues of the day and the excesses of the powerful, and that it is the duty of government to guarantee both the promise and the reality of a free press.
When we recommended government subsidies last year in a Nation cover article ("The Death and Life of Great American Newspapers," April 6), some publishers and pundits objected, forgetting their Jeffersonian roots and arguing, with no sense of irony, that policies promoting diversity and robust debate would foster totalitarianism. Even well-intended Congressional hearings on the crisis avoided discussion of this logical response.
But as 2009 wore on and the crisis extended–with the venerable Christian Science Monitor cutting print production from daily to weekly, newspapers in Seattle and Ann Arbor ceasing print publication to exist solely online, with papers in Denver, Tucson and other cities closing altogether, and with talk of closures from San Francisco to Boston–the urgency of the moment, and the recognition that journalism would not be reborn on the Internet or saved by foundation grants, made it harder to dismiss subsidies. By year's end, the Columbia Journalism Review was highlighting a report by Leonard Downie Jr. and Michael Schudson that proposed requiring "broadcasters, Internet service providers, and telecom users to pay into a fund that would be used to support local accountability journalism in communities around the country." CJR called the idea a "radical suggestion."

For many companies, 2013 is likely to be a year of system upgrades, or at least investigating the new versions of software as they become available. In a Microsoft-centric world, businesses have big decisions around nearly every major IT component, from OSs with the releases of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, to office productivity with Office 2013 and SharePoint 2013, to administration with System Center 2012.
Unless your Microsoft Exchange Server implementation is seriously ailing, moving to Exchange Server 2013 might be a low priority this year. Even if your business does need a messaging system upgrade, either to get off older, no-longer-supported software or to take advantage of new features, installing the new Exchange still might not be in the budget. Of course, you can consider Microsoft Office 365 if you want to keep it all in the Microsoft family and you're willing and able to take advantage of cloud services.
However, for companies that want to investigate options other than what Microsoft offers, it's always good to remember that other vendors do offer messaging servers that might just satisfy your needs. IceWarp has been in the market for over ten years. The company's latest release, IceWarp Server 10.4.4, is compatible with Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8, and can be connected to Microsoft Outlook or can be used with IceWarp Desktop Client and IceWarp WebClient.
IceWarp Server provides all the expected business needs in a mail server, syncing email, calendar, contacts, tasks, and it features built-in anti-spam and antivirus protection. Through add-ons, it can be configured to provide an integrated unified messaging environment, including IM, text messaging, and mobile device support. The IceWarp ecosystem is scalable to large enterprises -- in fact, the IceWarp Server provides the backend for email service providers -- but most customers come in the mid range, from 500 to 5,000 seats.
As far as why new customer are choosing IceWarp Server and where they're coming from, company president and co-founder Ladislav Goc said, "They're moving from Exchange because of the cost and because of the complexity of the maintenance. And second, they're actually moving from the different kinds of open source programs, free programs, or the smaller programs." IceWarp offers an all-in-one communications infrastructure, which can be deployed and maintained for less than Microsoft Exchange, including the possibility of deploying on Linux servers, which should make this a good alternative to investigate for your messaging needs.

Contact with poison ivy is one of the most frequent causes of skin rash in children during the spring, summer, and fall seasons. The resins of these plants, called urushiol, cause an allergic reaction in more than 50% of the population. Exposure to the smoke of these burning plants can cause the same reaction.
Poison ivy can be found in every region of the United States except the Southwest, Alaska, and Hawaii. It appears as a weed with three shiny green leaves and a red stem. The plant grows in the form of a vine, often along riverbanks.
Poison oak is primarily found on the West Coast. It grows in the form of a shrub and has three leaves similar to poison ivy.
Poison sumac grows abundantly along the Mississippi River, but is far less common in other regions. It grows as a shrub. Each stem contains 7 - 13 leaves arranged in pairs.
Dermatitis is caused by a sensitivity to the resin of these plants. The rash is spread by the oils touching various parts of the body. It is not spread by the fluid of the blisters it creates, thus it is not contagious unless the resin remains on the skin and is touched by another person.
However, the oily resin usually enters the skin rapidly, and is seldom transferred person to person. Conversely, the resin may persist for long periods on contaminated clothing, pets, tools, etc., and sensitive individuals can easily develop the rash from delayed contact with contaminated items.
This is a true allergy. Most people will have no reaction the first time they are exposed. In fact, children under the age of 7 are rarely sensitive. Sensitivity is particularly rare under the age of one, and when infants do break out, the rash is usually mild.
Symptoms do not appear immediately. You will notice them within 2 days of exposure, and rarely as late as 2 weeks later. Reactions can vary from mild in some individuals to very severe in highly sensitive individuals. Hospitalization is sometimes required.

Poughkeepsie native Carter Page is one of several people that the Justice Department says spoke with Russia's top envoy at last summer's Republican National Convention, according to multiple media reports.
According to The Poughkeepsie Journal, Page graduated from Our Lady of Lourdes High School in 1989.
He is the founder and managing partner of Global Energy Capital, a company that invests in energy, The Poughkeepsie Journal report said.
The GEC lists its address as a one-family home owned by Allan and Rachel Page, Page's parents, The Poughkeepsie Journal said.
The Poughkeepsie Journal said Page was one of three people said to have spoken with Sergey Kislyak at a Global Partners in Diplomacy event tied to the convention in Cleveland in July.
Allan Page, who runs a consulting firm in Poughkeepsie, refused to comment when reached by The Poughkeepsie Journal Friday. The newspaper also said that attempts to reach the younger Page were unsuccessful.
In February, Page, a former foreign policy adviser to Bedford resident Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign, told journalist Judy Woodruff in a PBS "Newshour" interview that he had not had any meetings last year with Russian officials.
However, he told MSNBC's Chris Hayes last Thursday that he had talked with Kislyak at the convention.
According to politico.com, CNN's Anderson Cooper grilled Page on Friday as the former adviser tried to clarify the nature of his interactions with Kislyak.
Page told Cooper that he hadn't spoken to Kislyak for more than "ten seconds," media reports said.

I graduated from college in 1981. At the time, my alma mater, Eastern Kentucky University, and Western Kentucky University were fierce rivals in football, basketball and everything else.
I came back into the world of journalism in 2004, and by then Western graduates dominated the media in Kentucky.
When one of the Western grads was gigging me about being one of the few Eastern grads in a top slot, I said, "Western has all the journalists, but the top lobbyists in the state are Eastern alums. Your grads get to write about it, but our grads get to call the shots."
That ended that conversation.
It was also a true statement. Year after year, the list of Kentucky's top lobbyists includes Bob Babbage, Hunter Bates, John Cooper and Gene McLean, who are all proud Eastern alums.
In recent years, Babbage has topped the charts every year.
Babbage is the one that convinced me that the art of lobbying can be a noble profession. Bob refers to his profession as being an advocate for a cause and using strategic planning to help that cause achieve its goals.
He nailed it for me when he said that being a lobbyist was a lot like his early career on Lexington City Council. You build coalitions to get things done.
Like any other field, lobbying can have good people and horrible people. If you read my third book, Wealth Without Wall Street, you would think that "Washington lobbyist" and "devil worshipper" were synonymous in meaning.
Maybe that was a little harsh.
I get concerned that lobbyists are paid by big corporations and not held accountable by the elected public. Then I realize that many journalists are paid by big corporations and not elected either.
A little reflection might be good before I cast the first stone.
Babbage is an advocate who can always get my time and attention.
Like any good insider, Bob has built a strong, long-term relationship with me. He has been one of my closest friends for 34 years and best man in my first wedding. He was also in the second one, over 20 years later. He was instrumental in helping me launch my structured settlement business, and I served as Treasurer, Campaign Chair and Press Secretary in his successful elections to Kentucky's Secretary of State and Kentucky's Auditor of Public Accounts.
He knows what I am thinking before I say it. And vice versa. I understood the unique traits that made Bob the top lobbyist.
Bob is fearless and possesses incredible energy. He is enthusiastic about everything he does and constantly looking to think outside the box. That energy and enthusiasm fires up everyone around him.
When we worked together, Bob constantly pushed me to broaden my thinking, expand my horizons and never be afraid of working with big dollars and important people. Traits that have carried over to this day.
Each of Bob's three children were born during each of his three runs for statewide office and his wife Laura made a transition from CEO of a health care company to the ministry. Providing for his family became Bob's overwhelming objective in life.
It's hard to argue with the results. I was with Bob when he was inducted into the Henry Clay High School Hall of Fame a few years ago, and he said, "It's hard to believe that a nerd like me produced three of the smartest and coolest kids you will ever find."
His oldest son Robert is doing international business in Southeast Asia after going to Vassar on a tennis scholarship, receiving an MBA from Virginia and doing a stint on Wall Street. Julie is at Vanderbilt, writing for the Vanderbilt Political Review and serving as an intern in the executive office of the Ambassador in London.
Like in England. Not the London in Kentucky.
Brian is going to Furman on a track scholarship. I'm not sure where all the Babbage children are going to wind up, but Bob is intensely motivated on giving them a big start.
He is also motivated to maintain a high level of integrity for his firm. It's a corporate-style environment focused on attracting corporate government relations people who talk their language.
I'm not sure why so many of Eastern grads wound up as successful lobbyists. Babbage, Bates and Cooper all served as student representatives on the school's Board of Regents and learned how to get things done at that level.
Whatever the reasoning, it's nice to know I have friends in high places.
And that I get to write about them.

The price of oil dipped slightly to below $88 a barrel on Monday as a truce between Israel and the militant group Hamas in the Gaza Strip appeared to hold despite a confrontation late last week.
By around early afternoon in Europe, benchmark oil for January delivery was down 55 cents to $87.73 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Friday, the contract rose 90 cents to close at $88.28 a barrel on the Nymex after Israeli troops fired on crowds in Gaza surging toward a border fence, killing one Palestinian.
Prior to the shooting, oil prices had been falling, thanks mostly to optimism that the cease-fire agreement between the two sides would prevent a broader conflict in the region that could disrupt crude supplies. The truce was struck last Wednesday to end an eight-day Israeli offensive against Gaza militants who had fired rockets into Israel, but it remains fragile.
Traders were also keeping a close eye on developments in Egypt. The country's president, Mohammed Morsi, on Sunday moved to grant himself near-absolute power, sparking street clashes between his supporters and opponents.
"Although Egypt may not be an oil producer, it is nonetheless an important transit country for the oil trade on account of the Suez Canal and a number of pipelines," analysts from Commerzbank in Frankfurt wrote in a report. "If there were to be a prolonged phase of instability in Egypt, this could have ramifications for the entire region, which is responsible for producing 25 percent of the world's crude oil."
A possible deal for additional bailout funds for Greece at Monday's meeting of eurozone ministers could have some impact on markets, but analysts said the risks associated with the tense situation in the Middle East would likely limit gains even if a deal is reached.
Brent, which is used to set prices for many international varieties of oil, was down 43 cents to $110.95 a barrel.
Other futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange:
— Wholesale gasoline fell 0.58 cent to $2.7146 a gallon.
— Natural gas dropped 13.9 cents to $3.895 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil was down 1.05 cents at $3.0755 a gallon.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Inspectors confiscated the fuel cell from Truck Series points leader Johnny Sauter this weekend at Kansas Speedway and will review it the first part of next week.
NASCAR did not say what issue was found with the fuel cell, which was taken Thursday during the opening day inspection. Any potential penalties would also be handed down next week.
Sauter won the first two races of the season at Daytona and Martinsville, and finished fourth at Rockingham. He stayed out of trouble in a crash-filled race Saturday at Kansas to finish fifth, maintaining a 12-point lead over Matt Crafton in the series standings.
