Under the agreement, the Province of New Brunswick will invest up to $25 million in rail infrastructure improvements to the Newcastle Subdivision. CN will in turn spend a comparable amount to maintain and operate the line, ensuring continued rail freight service for a 15-year period on the northern and southern sections of the line: between Irvco, N.B., and Nepisquit Junction, N.B., in the north, and between Catamount, N.B., and Nelson Junction in the south, where there are active rail freight customers. The province's investment "will be used to rehabilitate and upgrade the rail line to the operating standards required to efficiently and cost-effectively handle current and projected traffic," CN said. Work will commence in the spring of 2014.
CN will seek to discontinue rail operations on the 44-mile middle section of the Newcastle Subdivision, between Nelson Junction (milepost 62) and Nepisquit Junction (milepost 106), "due to the significant investments required to maintain the line and the lack of both originating and terminating freight traffic on that section."
CN said that before this part of the Newcastle Subdivision can be closed "it will be offered for sale in early February to private interests and then to municipal, provincial, and federal levels of government, as per the provisions of the Canada Transportation Act." There will be a five-month window to submit offers to purchase this section, "should there be a desire to maintain rail service on the segment."
New Brunswick Premier David Alward joined CN Executive Vice President Corporate Services and Chief Legal Officer Sean Finn in Miramichi, N.B., for the announcement.
"We thank the provincial government for working with us over the past year to develop this agreement that will preserve rail freight service in northern New Brunswick," said Finn. "This agreement would not have been possible without the commitment of both parties to continuing investments and to the growth of rail freight traffic in the region. CN, the province, and local businesses will continue to work together to increase freight traffic in future years."
"Freight rail is a critical mode of transportation for industries in northern New Brunswick, and it is a vital lifeline for the jobs and communities that rely on these industries," said Alward. "Our investment in the rehabilitation of two sections of this railway line ensures that companies in northern New Brunswick can continue to ship their goods to market efficiently and explore new opportunities for growth."

Hi guys.
I am searching for someone who can help with IPL and OpenCV libraries. well the problem I'm facing is that I need to read a picture of an office desktop and recognise objects ( just pens) on it. in the end the programm has to show similarity of each object to a pen and the ammount of pens found on the image. The stage I got to is that I proccessed the image, made it binary, identified objects with white and background with black colour. So the objects are identified now. The problem is that , how do i get objects parameters such as perimeter, area, size?
I need to get thiese parameters in order to comare them with a tempate , to see if it maches it or not.
So please if anyone can give any suggestions on how to elicit parameters of the objects on the image, please give a hand.
Tahnks for that guys..

Neill out to show his worth for Brazil
SYDNEY FC recruit Lucas Neill will use his stint in the A-League to help consolidate his place as Australia's captain for their assault on next year's World Cup in Brazil.
Neill added considerable strike-power to the Sky Blues when it was announced on Saturday he would return to his home-city's foundation club for the remainder of the season rather than join Melbourne Heart.
The 34-year-old, who has played 89 matches for Australia, said in a press release issued by his new club that he was excited to be returning home after plying his trade in England, Turkey and in more recent times, the United Arab Emirates for the past 11 years.
"I'm a Sydney boy and I'm excited to be coming back to Australia to play club football in front of friends and family with Sydney FC," Neill said. "I worked with Frank [Sydney FC coach Farina] for many years in the Socceroos and I look back on those times with good memories, and it's great to have the chance to enjoy further success together at Sydney FC. I look forward to meeting my new teammates tomorrow."
While his decision to play for Sydney added significant muscle to their star-studded line-up, which already boasted Italian great Alessandro del Piero and former English Premier League stalwart Brett Emerton, it was understood Neill was determined to solidify his place in the national team and play in a third consecutive World Cup.
Socceroos coach Holger Osieck made it clear he wanted Neill to play regular football before the World Cup qualifiers. He was quoted during the Australian team's build-up to last week's 3-2 loss to Romania that he was concerned by reports his skipper was going to be dumped by Al Wasl.
''It's not a very positive development,'' Osieck said at the time of Neill's situation with Al Wasl. ''First and foremost, it affects himself, but down the road it's going to affect the national team as well. A player has to be in a regular playing rhythm, has to have a regular schedule and I hope he can resolve his situation pretty quickly. I would advise him to find a spot where he can play regularly. It doesn't matter where it is.''
Neill, who is regarded as one of Australia's most committed players, will miss the Socceroos' qualifier against Oman in March because of an international suspension. However, it was expected, by joining Sydney, he would have plenty of football in his legs for the June qualifiers against Japan, Jordan and Iraq. If Sydney make the grand final he could play as many as nine games for the club.
Farina, who had his deal extended with Sydney FC during the week, hailed Neill's arrival at the club.
"We're thrilled Lucas has joined Sydney FC," Farina said. "He is the current Socceroo captain and one of Australia's most decorated players but more importantly he is a tremendous defender and he will make a valuable contribution in the run in to the semi-final series."
He was expected to be given a clearance in time to play against the Heart next Sunday.

Central races making impact on Power Rankings
Best teams may be out West, but Royals, Cards, Reds, Tribe gaining steam
By / MLB.com
The A's have been the top team in baseball for most of the season, the Angels are star-studded and the Dodgers and Giants have made headlines all year.
Don't forget about the Robinson Cano-led Mariners.
It's easy to see why some fans think the best baseball in the game is being played out West.
But it's impossible to ignore what's happening in the middle of the country and it's hard to blame fans who follow the Central divisions for being excited these days.
Here's why: The Tigers lead the Royals, winners of seven in a row, by only a half-game in the American League Central. The Indians are also surging and could be the surprise of the season.
It's also a thrilling time in the National League Central, where the Brewers lead the Cardinals by only two games and the Pirates by just 2 1/2 games. The Reds are also doing their best to make it a four-team race.
Where do the best teams in baseball really reside? That's where you come in.
For the fourth consecutive season, MLB.com has set up a panel of experts to vote on the top 15 teams each week. The group includes MLB.com vice president and executive editor Carlton Thompson, executive editor Matthew Leach, columnists Mike Bauman, Hal Bodley, Anthony Castrovince, Richard Justice, Tracy Ringolsby, Phil Rogers and Lyle Spencer along with reporters Alyson Footer and Jesse Sanchez.
What do you think? Agree, disagree? Have your opinion counted by submitting your Power Rankings.
1. Athletics: The A's won three of four against the Twins over the weekend and now lead the AL West by four games. It's taken time, but manager Bob Melvin has figured out roles for each of his relief pitchers, and it's paying dividends. The A's bullpen had a scoreless streak of 29 2/3 innings snapped Saturday.
2. Angels: The star-studded Halos lineup has been nearly unrecognizable lately. The offense has scored just 13 runs in the 64 innings that have encompassed four losses in five games. What's more, the Angels have gone 3-for-33 with runners in scoring position and batted .181 overall during that stretch. That said, they still have the second-best record in baseball.
3. Orioles: The AL East leaders won two of three against the Cardinals over the weekend and have won seven of their last 10 games. That's the good news. The not-so-good news? Shortstop J.J. Hardy sprained his left thumb Saturday and was held out of the lineup Sunday. It's unclear when he will return to the field.
4. Dodgers: How good has Clayton Kershaw been this season? He's 14-2 with a 1.78 ERA and hasn't lost since a 3-2 defeat to the Reds on May 28. Kershaw is 8-1 on the road, and he's also playing Gold Glove-caliber defense. The Dodgers, who lead the NL West by 4 1/2 games, will send newly acquired Kevin Correia to the mound Monday against the Braves.
5. Nationals: The first-place Nats were hoping to bury the second-place Braves and put more distance between the two clubs over the weekend in Atlanta. It didn't work out that way. Washington still holds a 3 1/2-game lead in the NL East, but it lost two of three at Turner Field. What's more, the Nationals are 4-9 against the Braves this season.
6. Tigers: The Tigers have seen better days. Detroit is coming off of a deflating and physically taxing 19-inning loss to Toronto, and now the AL Central race is now down to a half-game margin with the surging Royals having won seven straight. The Tigers will also be without starter Anibal Sanchez and reliever Joakim Soria. Both right-handers went on the 15-day disabled list Sunday morning -- Sanchez with a right pectoral muscle strain and Soria with a left oblique strain.
7. Brewers: The Crew ran itself into a few outs in a loss against the Dodgers on Sunday, but that didn't ruin a solid homestand against two of the top teams in the NL. Overall, the Brewers went 4-2 in the six-game homestand, taking a series from both the Dodgers and Giants while finishing the weekend with a two-game lead over St. Louis in the NL Central.
8. Mariners: Seattle has won seven of its last 10 games, and Felix Hernandez has already had a year to remember. The Venezuelan right-hander has made an MLB-record 15 straight starts of seven innings or more while allowing two or fewer runs, and he'll look to add to that mark Monday against the Blue Jays. Yes, the Mariners trail the first-place A's by 10 games in the division, but fans in Seattle still believe.
9. Royals: It's a great time to be a Royals fan. KC just swept the Giants at home and has now won seven straight. The Royals trail the first-place Tigers by only a half-game in the AL Central standings and will send rookie phenomenon Yordano Ventura to the mound Monday against the A's.
10. Blue Jays: It took a while Sunday -- the longest game in franchise history, at six hours and 37 minutes -- but the Blue Jays capped the weekend with a series victory and a statement against the first-place Tigers. Melky Cabrera reached base eight times, becoming the first player in baseball to do so in a game since Rod Carew on May 12, 1972.
11. Giants: After an inopportune four-game losing streak, the Giants find themselves slipping in the NL West, with the Dodgers' lead climbing to 4 1/2 games over the weekend. San Francisco ran into the Royals at the wrong time, and now it will have the misfortune of trying to work out of its funk on Tuesday against White Sox ace Chris Sale.
12. Cardinals: After being outslugged by the Orioles in the first two games of their series this weekend in Baltimore, the Cards turned the tables and poured on 17 hits (including 14 singles) to win the finale. This team won't hit for much power -- it's 24th in baseball with a .374 slugging percentage -- but few clubs produce better at-bats than the Cardinals.
13. Pirates: The Padres still have the Bucs' number at PNC Park -- San Diego is 33-12 all time in Pittsburgh after this weekend -- and the Pirates' problems are only magnified while playing without their core trio of Andrew McCutchen, Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez. Fortunately for Pittsburgh, its first opponent this week (the Tigers) has a pitching staff as beat up as anyone in baseball.
14. Reds: Cincinnati is looking to show this is a four-team race in the NL Central, not a three-team fight. Devin Mesoraco tied a club record with his third grand slam of the season as Cincy took the final game of the series against Miami on Sunday to remain above .500. The Reds' first look at the Red Sox on Tuesday will be against familiar NL Central foe Joe Kelly, who was recently traded from the Cardinals.
15. Indians: Everybody sees the Royals close on the heels of the Tigers in the AL Central, but the Indians are fighting to reach the playoffs as well. After taking a series against the Yankees, they'll have an Interleague matchup against the struggling D-backs, but they'll be without veterans David Murphy (right abdominal strain) and Nick Swisher (right knee soreness) for a while.

Our daughter has attended drama classes with Felicity and Gina from 2013-2015. Felicity brings an unparalleled vibrancy to her classes with innovative idea's and imagination. Our daughter LOVED attending both classescand being involved with the canvas bsg theatre each year. The production nights are well organised and so much fun for the children and audience alike. Our daughter speaks confidently in front of school assemblies/speeches etc now which I'm sure canvas bag drama school has helped with.
This is the most wonderful, professional environment for children of all ages, the very experienced teachers know how to get the most out of the children giving them a fun learning experience.
My daughter has been enjoying Felicity Williams drama classes for the past 5 years and unlike so many after school activities for which her enthusiasm waxes and wanes these drama classes are a MUST do. Simply put, they are exceptional. Through them she has made wonderful friends, developed an extraordinary love iof language and performance and an ability to express herself as part of a team rather than as a pampered soloist. The quality of teaching is great, it's clearly fun and extends and encourages her imagination and self confidence. If we could chose only one after school activity it would be Canvas Bag Drama classes every time.

Last night, the 2012 One Book, One Bloomington Community Read title was announced on WFHB's Interchange radio program.
This year, the community voted for Room by Emma Donoghue
Jack is a typical five-year-old who enjoys watching TV, reading, and playing games with his Ma. But he has lived all of his life in a single room. The room is his world, shared with his Ma, and occasionally with Old Nick, a mysterious and unnerving nighttime visitor. Told from the perspective of Jack, the novel explores not only survival in captivity but also what happens when captivity ends and the world expands beyond the four walls of Room.
"Room is beautifully written as a first-person narrative from Jack's perspective, and within it, Donoghue has constructed a quiet, private, and menacing world that slowly unbends with a mother and son's love and determination." - Booklist
"Gripping, riveting, and close to the bone, this story grabs you and doesn't let go. Donoghue skillfully builds a suspenseful narrative evoking fear and hate and hope--but most of all, the triumph of a mother's ferocious love." - Library Journal
Please visit www.mcpl.info/page/one-book-one-bloomington for upcoming information on public book discussions and a related film festival. Or listen to the podcast of last night's Interchange radio broadcast on the WFHB website.

Q. Does it take strength to the stop tears or courage to keep you're feelings real and let your eyes flood away?
The Oracle replies:
Better out than in, I alway say. I can't generalise too much as some people find it easy to cry so won't claim it as a brave process. Whether one chooses to cry openly or privately is up to the individual but I find it an essential part of emotional maintenance. I think it's vital to let tears out as I feel it can be detrimental and unhealthy suppressing them.

Outback V Questions
I'm starting my boat shopping for next year. I'm taking a really hard look at the Outback V but I need some suggestions. Right now I own an 18' I/O. My typical passenger load is four but if the kids bring friends we could have up to seven. Our typical outing is after work load up and go tubing, skiing, and kneeboarding. We won't be setting any world records in watersports but we like it and want something that will accomodate the things we like to do reasonably well. We will be picking up a wakeboard in the next week or so. I'm looking at the OBV because by looking at pictures it appears to be the only model with a ski locker in the floor. Is that true? It also appears to have plenty of storage for other assorted things that go with us. I saw the Mobius at the boat show last year and I liked it but there didn't appear to be a place for the skis that wouldn't interfere with the ballast system. Any suggestions or things I need to pay attention to would be appreciated.
Outback V Questions
You can always get a rack for your skis that goes on the tower. The LSV has a ski locker but usually there is a ballast bag there. I thought the same about the Outback V too. You could take it out or maybe even order it without the ballast but I'm willing to bet once you all start wakeboarding and then discover surfing you will wish you had it. So I say go LSV and order some Roswell Ski racks for those skis you want to put in the ski locker.SOLD! 2011 Mobius LSV 325HP EFI

The Outback V does have a ski locker, but it is also part of the ballast system, there is a ballast bag in the locker. The LSV and Mojo each have lockers too and they also share with the ballast systems. Perhaps a better means of water ski storage once the boat is launched is a set of water ski racks from Monster Tower that can be mounted on the boats tower. http://shop.monstertower.com/p-32-mo...-ski-rack.aspxKraig - 2010 Outback V
Outback V Questions
I have a 2012 OBV and we ski, board, & surf. We use the ski locker for skis now as we don't use the center ballast much. If we are surfing & want to fill the center, I just pull the ski or skis.
I have just ordered a ski rack to put on my tower though. Generally speaking, there is plenty of storage if you are smart about it. I may pull the cooler out as well, as we never use it (probably the only "extra" I truly dislike).
Great all around boat. We upgraded to it from a 19' I/O and have loved it.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk2012 OBV
If you're skiing, then my guess is that ballast will be empty and you can normally fit skis in the rear locker of the Mojo, LSV or Outback V and run them up under the seats. This will let you order a boat with the ballast system, which I recommend.
For 2013/2014 the only boat that will have a traditional, "ski locker" in the center floor will be the OBV. The OBV is a great all-around boat. There is a new model, the Mondo, that you might also want to consider.

I have an 08 OBV and it is a great boat. You have storage in the back and the Center locker if you do not fill the system. The center ski locker will fit a ski on top of the bag and the left compartment will also fit a ski on top of the empty bag. There is good space in the boat. It gets a little busy with more then 8 people in the boat but is manageable. I just hate clutter. You can speed up and get a good ski wake( or little wake) but also a good wake for beginning to wakeboard. The boat has the power to tow two tubes without an issue. I now have 300 hours on mine without any issues.2008 Outback V - Sold but never forgotten.
Do not wait; the time will never be just right. Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along." -Napoleon Hill
After we ordered our 2012 OBV, I found out that Roswell has a ski rack that matched the factory wakeboard rack for the OZ tower. Had the dealer switch it out for me when the boat was delivered. That said, there is lots of space in the OBV, can still store skis in the rear corner areas, as it is open through to the seats, so skis will fit there too. See pics of the ski rack attached. Me and my wife ski, kids ski and wakeboard, tubes, you name it this boat does it well enough to make everyone happy.
2012 Outback V
If you want a pic of the rack without the skis in it, just let me know. Gonna be spending lots of time with the boat starting this Saturday. By the way, we also upgraded from an 18 foot I/O and would never look back now. You will not regret it!Jeff

I expect you'll see a bunch of OBV's only a couple years old coming up in the next year as people who trade or bump up a couple years go to the new Mondo. Gonna be a big seller.My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

Mailport: March 2012
I want to comment on my experiences with Durabak since you recently tested nonskid deck coatings (PS, January 2012). I coated my decks with Durabak about 14 months ago. I'm happy with the durability and nonskid performance, but I'm lukewarm in three areas: It is hard to keep clean; it holds stains; and the color fades fairly rapidly.

Inflatable Bottom Paint
One of your articles (PS, August 2011) recommends against bottom painting inflatables because the paint rubs off. I found Aquagard Water-based Inflatable Bottom Coating to be excellent in Long Island Sound waters, and it does not rub off. Defender Industries (www.defender.com) sells it, and it's very easy to apply.

We've tested inflatable paints by Aquagard-maker Flexdel Corp.— Flexdel Flexabar was Budget Buy in long-term dinghy paint test (PS, August 2011)—as well as Aquagard antifouling paints, but we have not yet tested the bottom paint for inflatables. According to Flexdel, there is only a very slight difference between the inflatable bottom paint and the Aquagard Bottom Paint marketed for use on fiberglass. In fact, the company said, boat owners can use the regular water-based Aquagard Bottom Paint on inflatable bottoms. In our tests, Aquagard Bottom Paint has kept barnacles at bay for up to a year.
Tool Tips
Good article on essential tools in the January 2012 issue. A tool I've found extremely useful is the Rigid multi-tool. While the Fein is obviously a more robust tool for the daily use of a pro, I like the fact that the Rigid has additional "heads" available. I have the right-angle drill head; this, along with the standard oscillating head and attachments, allows me to leave my drill and electric screwdriver at home. I just pack the multi-tool bag in my ditty bag, and I can cover drilling, driving screws, cutting, scraping, and sanding—the majority of my boat projects—all contained in a bag the size of a large book. I find it indispensable.

US Sailing Reports
Kudos to Darrell Nicholson for his editorial regarding the US Sailing accident inquiries (December 2011). As much as I respect the efforts, skills and resumes of all the members of the US Sailing investigating panel on the Chicago-Mackinac race, they have found themselves completely on the wrong end of this issue. I would never suggest that any of these fine people would intentionally steer the findings to their own advantage. However, bias is an insipid and creeping malady, and manages to easily entangle itself without being recognized. That is why in similar situations in other disciplines, particularly those that have resulted in tragic consequences, extra care is taken to avoid potential bias and conflicts such as the scenario that Mr. Nicholson has rightly brought to light. No one that had even the most remote connection to this incident should have had any position or voice on the panel, let alone chaired it. No sponsor, officiator, family member, participant, and most certainly not a manufacturer of some of the equipment that was involved.
The spirited replies to Mr. Nicholson's editorial penned by Mr. (John) Rousmaniere and Mr. (Stan) Honey (PS Mailport, February 2012) are understandable, and one can certainly argue about who has some of the facts straight, but their position on Mr. Hawley's involvement is completely irresponsible and utterly indefensible. Here I even must take issue with Mr. Nicholson's rebuttal (PS, Feb 2012) that Mr. (Chuck) Hawley would have made an excellent consultant, because he most certainly could not and should not have, considering the real and present overlap of interest.
I cannot decide here what is most disappointing in the whole sordid affair: that these experts are ignorant to basic conflict of interest practices or that, incredibly, when called out on the issue, they muster to defend blatantly poor decision making instead of admitting their mistakes and finding ways to avoid repeating them.

Cetol Alive & Well
I heard that International Yacht Paints (Interlux Yacht Finishes) announced that they are discontinuing Sikkens and all of its products. If true, what would replace Cetol?
Ron Hallam
Via e-mail
International Yacht Paints (www.yachtpaint.com) has discontinued Cetol Marine in Europe only; the replacement for European customers is called Woodskin, which we have not tested. All of the Cetol products will continue to be available in North America. According to Jim Seidel, Interlux's assistant marketing manager, the confusion likely stems from the fact Cetol is no longer being made in the Sikkens factory (www.sikkens.com). Production was moved to Interlux's New Jersey factory about a year ago; the formulas have not changed, and Interlux is using the same raw materials and process to manufacture the Cetol products as those used in the Sikkens factory.
iPad Pointer
I read with great interest your recent review of the navigation applications for the iPad (PS, February 2012). I too rate the iNAVx as a very good and easy to use program, and I use it as an emergency backup to my regular plotter.
I noted the comments about oily fingerprints and long nails being an issue using the touchscreen. There is a simple remedy: a pointer, a fountain-pen sized instrument with a soft rubber tip. I use this exclusively in lieu of my fingers. You can point, move the screen around, and to enlarge or shrink, you just tap the screen and a menu comes up to either zoom in or out. Works great. Verizon Wireless sells them as an accessory to the iPad (www.verizonwireless.com).

Nikwax Nowhere
I read with interest your December 2011 article on cordage treatments and decided to try Nikwax's Rope Proof. I consulted the Nikwax website for distributors. I first went to Amazon and found a seemingly endless list of Nikwax products, but not Rope Proof. Next, I contacted the local retailers listed on the website and had a similar experience: no Rope Proof. No luck either with the West Marine store and local marinas. All of which brings me to my point: When reviewing products perhaps you could add an inquiry into nationwide availability.
Rick Nelson
Tres Bien, Jeanneau 37

Although, we were able to find Rope Proof online at Amazon.com and at REI.com, Nikwax recently reduced its distribution of Rope Proof due to limited sales. Another Nikwax product, Polar Proof, is the same formula as Rope Proof but comes in different packaging and is marketed for other outdoor activities, according to Nikwax. Nikwax Polar Proof is available through many outdoor retailers, including REI Co-op. The same results can be expected from the Polar Proof as those we got with the Rope Proof.
I had decided to paint my boat nonskid with Durabak—I already got some paint chips from them, and I was pondering color choices—when someone recommended AST Anti-Slip Coating (www.astantislip.com). They said this is what the U.S. Navy uses. Guys who land aircraft on carriers should know a thing or two about nonskid! Do you have any information about that product? Will there be a test of it in the future?
Ernst Niebur
Baltimore, Md.
We have not yet tested the American Safety Technologies (AST) paint, but we'll see if we can get our hands on some to include in our next test of nonskid options. You can see how Durabak compares to other anti-slip paints in our report that ran in the January 2012 issue.
Diy Steering Arm
I read the "Steering Arm Control" article (PS, August 2011) with great interest. I have been using my own, homemade steering arm control for some time. (See photo above.)
Its cost was minimal as I used leftover parts from a prior bimini installation. The fairlead is taped to the wheel and has never come loose as I only use the arm for light steering conditions. The tube is aluminum, and the nuts and bolt are stainless steel. The end fittings are standard poly.

It seems like a handy DIY project. Our only concern would be that it could not be removed quickly in an unexpected emergency, as the Forespar Steering arm control can be.
Titanium FYI
In response to the December 2011 article on replacing stainless chainplates with titanium: While I applaud the author's attempt to "think out-of-the-box," I think he started off with a flawed understanding of the failure modes involved. In my opinion, the failure had nothing to do with galvanic reaction of the stainless. The photos show that the chainplate failed due to a combination of pitting as well as stress corrosion cracking. The author does not mention the particular alloy involved; however, given the age of the boat, I would bet that it was 304.
While the particular alloy used may indeed have a limited lifespan in this application (my guess is that the chainplate was in service for at least 30 years), this does not mean that all grades of stainless would be wholly inappropriate for this application. After all, I would be fairly certain that the propeller shaft on his boat is made out of Aquamet 22 (a super-austenitic alloy that is identical to the Nitronic 50 used for rod rigging), and it sees full immersion service in salt water and marine growth.
Through-deck chainplate tangs must be resistant to pitting with the understanding that there will be some concentration of chlorides/salts that will eventually build up on the surface. More importantly, the chainplate is obviously subject to constant tensile loads in this chloride environment. This turns out to be the perfect recipe for stress corrosion cracking. Therefore, the simplest answer would be to choose the appropriate stainless alloy that will resist both pitting as well as SCC. In this case, AL6XN would perform admirably. While this alloy was not available when the boat was originally built, industrial demand since has driven mills to produce significantly higher grades of stainless. While the material is harder and somewhat more difficult to work with than 304, it would prevent no fabrication problems for a proper machine shop.
The idea the author would go through the bother of sourcing titanium in China seems impractical to say the least. At the risk of being politically incorrect, I would underscore that quality assurance in terms of alloy grade would be virtually nonexistent. Given the critical application, I would want to know specifically what I am getting and from where. Domestic mills provide alloy certification forms with every load of material that is shipped out. At the same time, having custom hardware produced by a domestic machine shop would allow a closer business relationship with a fabricator who may have a more intimate understanding of the application.
While titanium is an intriguing metal, one has to be very careful in selecting the application. Although titanium itself is extremely noble and resistant to corrosion, it must be matched to the fasteners used. If not, then the mass of titanium will tend to induce pitting corrosion in the common stainless fasteners he may have reused.
The author would have done far better to have his chainplates fabricated in AL6XN stainless. The job would've been less expensive, virtually immune to the original corrosion issues, immensely strong, and would not set up a whole host of new potential corrosion issues. Non-insignificantly, he would've been giving his business to a domestic steel mill and machine shop.

Holding Tank Additives
Great article on holding tank odor products (February 2012). I was surprised that you missed one that prides itself of the amount of bacteria in each bottle: BacTankT3 (www.bactankt3.com) by Nolan Bio Labs. I am not the manufacturer, but we do stock the product here at Amanzi-Marine (www.amanzi-marine.com).
We stock it because it is the best in class we have ever found, and its
priced right from a retail perspective—not the most expensive and not the cheapest. We don't stock anything else for holding tanks.
John Jacobi, Amanzi-Marine

After trying different chemicals to alleviate the odor from the head on our Tartan 37C, I had settled on Odorlos as being the best of the bunch. After using Odorlos for a year or so, I stumbled upon Happy Campers (www.happy-campers.ca), an RV product. I ordered some and was immediately impressed: The lingering smell that Odorlos left behind was totally removed with Happy Campers. I'm not sure how it works, but this is now my product of choice. Maybe you can put Happy Campers on your list to test for the next round?

Thanks for the heads up. We will try to test the BacTankT3 and Happy Campers in our next round of evaluations of tank-odor solutions.
Navimatics Charts & Tides iPad featured in the February 2012 article on iPad apps requires iOS4 or iOS5; other information appeared in the table accompanying the article.
The table in the June 2011 article on toilet paper incorrectly listed the price for SeaLand quick-dissolve toilet paper, which was one of the least expensive products in the test. The online version of the article has the updated information:
The SeaLand tank reported on in the February 2012 issue had a conventional round O-ring on the clean-out cap, not the flat gasket that SeaLand introduced in late 2009. The flat gasket, which replaced the round one, is designed to prevent the cap leak described in the February 2012 issue. Our report on the new seal will appear in the April 2012 issue.

Picked up a refurbGateway slim tower with H61 sandy bridge @2.4ghz celeron 4gb ram 7200rpm500gb HD for 209$!!! 350$ anywhere else.
Needed to replace my old am2 1.5ghz dual core HD zino HTPC that is dying with HW blue screens.
Picked up a low profile silent HIS 6450 for 44$ was goin to return it if the HD2000 IGP was good enough...but it was a little flaky.The AMD 6450 works fantastic as a HTPC card,since they only use 20 watts total on furmark i am pretty sure the little 220watt psu will be fine.The PSU is on the bottom so the pcie16 6450 passive card is mounted inside the system all the way on the top.The Slim case has a lot of vent holes on top right above the video card along with a decent decent sized side panel grill.It has a intel style heatsink with a air scoop to get closer to the side panel grill.The fan has a AVC sticker on the middle of the 80mm estimated fan blades and never runs above 1050rpm and is silent.Unless i turn off smart fan in bios,then it rips at 4000+rpm and is very loud.
The HIS passive 6450 does run a bit hot 55 c idle and 67 playing a uncompressed bluray stream.The cpu seems to stay between 31c idle and 39c loaded.The chipset hits 50+C si i think i am goin to add a silent slim 80mm intake fan just to help cool chipset and video card.Just need a 4 pin fan or a adapter for MB.
Its a speed demon surfs web and everything HTPC wise i think almost as fast as my 2600k rig.Plus it stays at 1600mhz just like my 2600k until loaded.I Guess you cant make a slow sandy bridge even with only 2mb l2 cache.Once i disabled the IGP it got faster.I take that is from not having to share its small cache between cpu and gpu.
Best 260 dollar pc i ever used.I think intel has got the low end cpu war won since that G530 sandy based celeron is only 50$.I am very impressed/happy.

Luebke's rehab shut down due to sore elbow
By Corey Brock / MLB.com
ATLANTA -- Pitcher Cory Luebke's return from Tommy John surgery has suffered yet another setback.
The Padres have decided to shut down the left-hander and have him visit Reds physician Dr. Timothy Kremchek to have his elbow examined.
Luebke, who had surgery in May 2012, threw four bullpen sessions in the last month. The first two went well, but he experienced soreness in the elbow recently.
"We're going to back him off throwing for a while," Padres manager Bud Black said after a 4-0 victory over the Braves on Sunday.
When asked if Luebke would be fine to throw at the start of Spring Training in five months, Black said that it was "way too early to tell."
"That's a lot of time to heal," Black said. "That's what we're hoping for."
Luebke has experienced a handful of stops and starts during his rehabilitation program in the last six months. There was a possibility that he would get some innings during winter ball, though that seems remote at this point.
Padres' instructional league in DR more than baseball
ATLANTA -- The Padres are putting a unique spin on their annual instructional league this fall, both in terms of location and in the experience it will offer for many of their top Minor League prospects.
Starting on Sept. 25, many of the organization's top prospects will head to the team's complex in the Dominican Republic for three weeks of baseball instruction and much more.
With renovations still ongoing at the team's Padres' Spring Training complex in Arizona, the organization decided to move the instructional league to the Dominican Republic with the intent on helping players get better and exposing them to a different environment.
This is about more than just baseball.
"It was born out of necessity, but one of the benefits of it is it will be a fantastic experience, baseball and otherwise, for everyone involved," said Randy Smith, the Padres' vice president of player development and international scouting.
"We will have everyone at the complex all day, we'll be able to work with them and then we'll also get them out to do some work in the community. We want to make this something they'll remember. And they'll get to see where many of their teammates come from."
Players report on Sept. 24, with the first day of workouts scheduled the following day. The last day for the instructional league is Oct. 17.
Most of the players are still in the lower levels of the Padres' system, including two of the Padres former first-round Draft picks, left-handed pitcher Max Fried (2012) and outfielder Hunter Renfroe (2013).
Fried is considered the Padres' top prospect, according to MLB.com. Renfroe comes in at No. 8.
Under Smith and his staff, the Padres have been out front on bridging the gap between Latin American players and their American counterparts. The team offered English language classes for players, which isn't unusual, but has actually offered Spanish classes for staff and coaches to help communicate with players.
Now the Padres are taking many of their top prospects, roving instructors and coaches to their facility in Najayo, San Cristobal, to their 15-acre complex, which opened in 2008 at a cost of $8 million.
For many of the American-born players, this will be the first trip out of the country. That holds true for 18-year-old infielder Josh Van Meter, who was drafted in the fifth round this past June. Van Meter has only been to his native Indiana, Arizona and Florida before now.
"It's going to be a humbling experience. A great experience, not just for baseball but culturally as well," said Van Meter, who is from Ossian, Ind. "We ask the Dominican guys to come to America, now we get to see what their life is like.
"I think that that we grow up in a pretty good environment compared to a lot of those guys. It will show us what they have to go through to get here."
Retiring Kotsay reflects on career
ATLANTA -- When Padres outfielder Mark Kotsay retires at the end of the season, he'll walk away with a lot more than nearly 1,800 hits amassed over a 17-year career with seven teams.
"I'm walking away from the game with the respect of every teammate I've ever played with. That's all I've ever wanted when I was done," Kotsay said Sunday.
Kotsay, 37, said there was no precise moment when he decided that this would be his final season, but acknowledged that the daily preparation is much more difficult than when he was a younger player.
"At the end of the season, you evaluate how you feel moving forward. This year, I've just felt the time is right," Kotsay said. "Mentally and physically, the grind of the season has become more difficult. I'm at peace where I'm at in my life."
Kotsay entered Sunday's game against the Braves hitting .190 in 142 at-bats. He hit .259 coming off the bench for the Padres last season in 143 at-bats.
For his career, Kotsay has a .276/.332/405 line with the Marlins, A's, White Sox, Red Sox, Braves and Brewers, as well as two stints with the Padres (2001-03, 2012-13).
Kotsay's manager, Bud Black, will be sorry to see him go, though he admitted that Kotsay's contributions rated well beyond statistical measure.
"His experience and personality made a huge impact on our group ... not just on players but also for the coaches and me," Black said. "He was a great sounding board for me. He asked me a lot of questions and I asked him a lot, getting the players' perspective.
"He did a great job inside the clubhouse with the younger guys and the older players, sending the right message. With Kots, I always trusted that the right message was being delivered."
Kotsay, who has 1,781 career hits, might have had more if not for surgeries on his back in 2003 and in '09. But he stopped long ago wondering what might have been.
"Even after my second back surgery, I've extended [my playing career] out a long time," he said.
After Sunday's game, the Padres will have 14 games remaining. That's 14 more times Kotsay will put on and pull off a Major League uniform.
"I'll miss the camaraderie of being around the guys," he said. "I'll miss the competition and pure joy that comes with winning as a team."

Dextre, the International Space Station's Robotic Handyman
Launch: March 11, 2008
Status: Active
The most sophisticated space robot ever built, Dextre is a space handyman with a mission: keep the International Space Station (ISS) ship-shape. Dextre's role is to perform maintenance work and repairs like changing batteries and replacing cameras outside the ISS.
Having Dextre on call reduces the amount of risky spacewalks to do routine chores, thus giving astronauts more time for science, the main goal of the ISS. Dextre's special skills and awesome location also offer a unique testing ground for new robotics concepts like servicing satellites in space.
Dextre can ride on the end of Canadarm2 to move from worksite to worksite, or simply hitch a ride on the Mobile Base.

Got a little question regarding trades, i proposed one to QSS which was accepted, the trade page said the moves will reflect my lineup from three or four days after, then it said it will reflect the lineup from 24th, now it says the 27th. Any idea why this is happening?
wow, kobe for love got denied???
anyways, the trade scenarios seem to be wacky and your best bet is to update your roster every day after a trade for that week. i have gotten boned in this league and another after making a trade and thinking my lineups were set for the week.
this probably has nothing to do with it, but when you pick up a player off waivers, as opposed to a free agent, it takes a few days for the player to clear waivers, to see if anyone else wants him, as there is a priority list based on initial draft picks and then based on teams who've picked up players on waivers... methinks. been reading the rules, not sure.

If a hand is going to "evolve†from a foot-like mechanism, the associated muscles and ligaments must be modified accordingly to control the new function of the hand. More is involved than just one mutation. The mutations (modifications) need to be precise and supportive of the new function. Saying evolution did it is somewhat magical because evolution is non sentient.
Though I typically wouldn't want to defent the evolutionary point of view, I must remain honest with myself and what I know.
As a proper representation of the TOE Isabella is correct on that matter. Most likely if the TOE were true than if a certain secluded population of humans were in an enviornment that was slowly being invaded by water those that were less fit for aquatic survival would die and those more fit would pass on their genes.
Than where creationists draw the line at adaptation evolutionists go on in the hopes that mutations will occur that are not only not fatal but beneficial to the situation endangering the population.
Nevertheless, as humans, in well funded populations of humans (as in not third world countries), we have the technology to surpass most effects of 'natural selection'.
Using a blind watch maker anaolgy to argue the construction of a new function that has to be perfectly coordinated is ridiculous, How many blind drivers do we know driving automobiles on our streets? More is needed than blind evolution to go from a reptile to a bird. But it's possible the evolutionists says. Yeah when the evolutionists gets in a car driven by a blind person and tells him to get on one of our freewyas let me know. Crash!
Moreover, a feedback loop is needed and code that will be accepted by the individual digits and its joints to adjust their position for the varying tasks that present themselves to the creature. Swinging through a tree would require different instructions than pealing a banana to eat it.
Software (instructions) needs to be present to run the new function and is never even mentioned. How did the software evolve concurrently with the "new†hardware to interface perfectly with the new function? If there is no software and code getting to the muscles and ligaments that control the hand, it will not function correctly.
Evos have no explanation for how the software to run the millions of different species that exist evolved into existence. Darwin could claim ignorance, but what is evolutions' excuse today? We have all observed people that have lost control of their extremities from damage to their spinal cord. The extremities are fully functional but the signals to operate the arm or leg do not make it through the usual nerve path to the particular limbs. No software-no function.


text: What's The Story Behind Japanese Tea? Steven Popec (0) Many Asian countries produce loose leaf tea. However, Japan is one tea-producing country that you don't hear a lot about. Much of the attention is focused on Indian, Chinese, and Sri Lankan teas. This has given Japan plenty of time to quietly refine the quality of its tea. While Japanese green tea might not be as well-known as the tea of its neighbors, teas like Genmaicha, Bancha, and Sencha remain popular to this day. In fact, Japan has developed a rich tea culture for hundreds of years, and today, 'Japanese tea ceremony' plays an important role at social events. The history of Japanese tea Tea has not always been grown in Japan. Unlike other parts of Asia, tea does not grow naturally in Japan, which means that the original seeds had to be imported. This didn't occur until the 9th century, when Japanese explorers began traveling to and from neighboring China to learn about its culture. After these travelers discovered how important tea was to the Chinese, they decided to bring it back to the islands of Japan. Tea grew in popularity in Japan from that point forward. Japanese travelers to China continued to bring back different varieties of tea over the next few centuries, and Japanese priests were particularly interested in the beverage due to its healing properties. In fact, some of the most frequent tea drinkers in Japan during this period were priests. Just how important was tea to Japanese health? One of the oldest tea specialty books in the world was written in Japan in 1211. It was called Kissa Yojoki, which means "How to Stay Healthy by Drinking Tea" in Japanese. That book begins by stating "tea is the ultimate mental and medical remedy and has the ability to make one's life more full and complete." This is quite the spectacular endorsement, and the beverage continued to grow in popularity among all classes in Japan. Modern Japanese tea All different types of tea are produced in Japan. However, certain types of tea – like green tea – are particularly popular. The Japanese make several different varieties of green tea, including the popular Japan Sencha green tea. In the past, Japanese tea was rolled, dried, and steamed by hand. Today, that is no longer the case. Except for the most expensive tea blends, all Japanese tea is produced by automation. However, due to the quality of Japanese manufacturing, automating tea production actually improved its quality as opposed to taking away from it. Japanese tea ceremony For hundreds of years, the Japanese have made tea an important part of their culture. 'Japanese tea ceremony' is an important part of welcoming guests into the home, and tea must be prepared and presented in a certain way. In more formal settings, hosts are judged by the artistry of the tea ceremony. Zen Buddhists played a key role in bringing tea ceremonies into Japan, as certain types of tea – like matcha and sencha - are important to the Zen Buddhism religion. ESP Emporium has several popular Japanese tea blends from which to choose, including the Cherry Green Tea Blend and Bancha Green Tea. Whatever your tastes may be, Japanese tea has been refined over hundreds of years, leading to the quality flavor and rich history we know today. facebook twitter google+ email

This season, however, may be the best ever for Palo Alto. The Oaks are 16-0 heading into this weekend's West Regional in Sacramento, where they could finish 21-0 by winning the title. However, that's where the historic season will end.
"The West Regional is the last tournament for us," said Espinoza, now the team's general manager. "We are boycotting the Stan Musial World Series this year as the cost to take the team to New York, after taking the team to Florida last year and Houston the previous two years, would bankrupt us."
The Oaks spent some $20,000 last summer to travel and play in the World Series in Port Lucie, Fla. Palo Alto finished in seventh place and ended its season with a 19-8 record.
"We're boycotting this year's World Series based on principle and cost," Espinoza said. "The AABC, the governing body of the sport, continues to have these World Series on the East Coast. If you're going to be partial to teams only on the East Coast, then we're not going to go."
In 2011, when the Oaks played in their first World Series in Houston, the hotel was paid for. Last year in Florida, the teams were given $1,000 credit toward their hotel bill that cost upwards of $4,000 according to Espinoza.
And, to make matters worse, Espinoza heard after last year's World Series that any team wanting to play in the 2012 tournament could have done just that — without qualifying. The 2012 World Series was played at the New York Mets' spring training facility.
"Anyone could have bought their way in last year," he said. "I think it just comes down to money."
Or, in the Oaks' case, the lack thereof. Thus, the days of representing Palo Alto on the biggest stage for this level of baseball appears gone. At least for now.
"We would go to New York (Farmingdale) if we could just afford it," Espinoza said of his non-profit organization. "Either we find a corporate sponsor or we just stop going."
Palo Alto likely will finish with one of the best records in the country (if not the best). The World Series, then, is that in name only as it becomes sort of a private country club for the sport.
Espinoza says it's shame his current team faces this situation, given the makeup of the squad.
"I have a mix of youth and experience," Espinoza said. "It would have been a good year to go."
The Oaks have nine players age 25 or older. Most of the players have day jobs. Playing for the Oaks is a way to delay the inevitable — an end to one's playing days.
Palo Alto continues to survive under the guidance of Espinoza, who began his playing career with the Oaks at age 15. He later managed the team for eight years following the death of the legendary Tony Makjavich in 2000 before turning that job over to Greg Matson. The former Gunn High standout, who doubles as the pitching coach at Menlo College, has scaled back his playing in order to concentrate on managing the Oaks.
The team pretty much survives on donations and its annual Tony Makjavich Memorial Golf Tournament, the 10th annual which is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 12 at Shoreline Golf Links in Mountain View. Proceeds from the event, which range from $5,000-$6,000, go directly to funding the team during the summer season.
"It's enough to get us through the season," Espinoza said.
Espinoza pointed out just the rental of the Oaks' home field at Baylands Athletic Center (from the City of Palo Alto) now runs in the vicinity of $1,500 a year.
"When I first took over the team, it was like $35 for the season (to rent Baylands)," Espinoza said. "Now it's like $35 per hour."
Expenditures could be higher, but the Oaks have played all 16 of their games — eight doubleheaders — at home this season. This weekend's trip to Sacramento will be the team's first road games.
The Oaks will open the five-team regional Friday against the Healdsburg Prune Packers at Sacramento State at 11 a.m. CJ Hillyer will get the starting assignment on the mound for Palo Alto.
Should Palo Alto win, it will get a bye into Saturday's round of games at Sacramento City College. The tournament wraps up Sunday.
While the season comes to a close this weekend for Palo Alto, Espinoza says it nonetheless will end on a positive.
"I think we do end on a high note," he said. "We just had to draw a line in the sand with the AABC. If they want the best teams in the West this year, they're going to have to foot some of the cost to get us there."
The Oaks completed their regular summer season last Sunday with a doubleheader sweep of visiting Fontanetti's at Baylands Athletic Center, 6-0 and 12-0.
Dominic Hernandez earned the win in Game 1 as he tossed seven shutout innings, allowing only three hits while walking one. Gilbert Guerra pitched the final two innings, completing the shutout.
Trevor Demerritt and Travis Conroy combined to provide much of the offense for Palo Alto with five of the Oaks' total hits.
In Game 2, Temple University graduate Brandt Norlander continued his pitching dominance this summer as he threw five shutout innings in a game shortened by the 10-run mercy rule. Norlander struck out six, allowing just two hits while walking none.
Demerritt again led the Oaks with three hits in addition to scoring three runs and driving in two. Teammate Maxx Sheehan added two hits.
With a day off from his normal pitching duties, Gunn High grad Ricky Navarro contributed two hits, three RBI and scored three runs while playing a solid right field.

ORLANDO, Fla. - Zenaida Gonzalez, the woman who is suing Casey Anthony for defamation was arrested in Orlando Friday night.
Police said Gonzalez is accused of giving alcohol to someone under 21. Her bond was set at $250.
According to an arrest report, Gonzalez was working at the Circle K food mart that is connected to the Shell gas station on Semoran Boulevard and Stonewall Jackson, just south of the 408 Friday night. Teenage customers tried to buy a can of Four Loco, an alcoholic energy drink, and Gonzalez asked for their I.D., but did not actually check their ages.
A representative from the Circle K said Gonzalez is now out of a job.
Gonzalez shares a similar name as a fictitious baby sitter -- Zenaida Fernandez Gonzalez -- whom Anthony initially said kidnapped her 2-year-old daughter in 2008. At Anthony's murder trial last summer, Anthony's defense claimed Caylee drowned in the family's swimming pool and, therefore, had not been abducted. Caylee's remains were found in December 2008.
Gonzalez is suing Anthony for defamation.
Local 6 will update this story as more information is available.

Does Paul Ryan Have 'His Eyes on the Exits'?
Politico's Tim Alberta and Rachael Bade drop a blockbuster: "Despite several landmark legislative wins this year, and a better-than-expected relationship with President Donald Trump, Ryan has made it known to some of his closest confidants that this will be his final term as speaker. … He would like to serve through Election Day 2018 and retire ahead of the next Congress. This would give Ryan a final legislative year to chase his second white whale, entitlement reform, while using his unrivaled fundraising prowess to help protect the House majority—all with the benefit of averting an ugly internecine power struggle during election season."
Speculation has been swirling that Ryan could step down once "he's harpooned his personal white whale of tax reform," as HuffPost put it.
When asked at his weekly press conference whether he'll be quitting anytime soon, Ryan chuckled and said, "I'm not, no."
IRS Paid $20 Million to Collect $6.7 Million in Tax Debts
Congress passed a law in 2015 requiring the IRS to use private debt collection agencies to pursue "inactive tax receivables," but the financial results are not encouraging so far, according to a new taxpayer advocate report out Wednesday.
In fiscal year 2017, the IRS received $6.7 million from taxpayers whose debts were assigned to private collection agencies, but the agencies were paid $20 million – "three times the amount collected," the report helpfully points out.

Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan See Small GDP Boost from Tax Bill
Goldman Sachs economists see the tax bill adding 0.3 percentage points to GDP growth in 2018 and 2019 while JP Morgan forecasts a similar gain of 0.3 percentage points next year and 0.2 percentage points the year after.
Goldman's analysts add that federal spending, which is likely to grow more quickly next year than it has recently, will bring the total fiscal boost to around 0.6 percentage points for 2018 and 0.4 percentage points in 2019.
Both banks see deficits likely rising above $1 trillion, or about 5 percent of GDP, in 2019.
EU Finance Ministers Warn Mnuchin About Tax Plan
The finance ministers of Europe's five largest economies — Germany, France, the U.K., Italy and Spain — warned that the Republican tax plan could have "a major distortive impact" on international trade and may violate international treaties. "The inclusion of certain less conventional international tax provisions could contravene the U.S.'s double taxation treaties and may risk having a major distortive impact on international trade," the ministers wrote in a letter to Mnuchin.
Trump's Plans for Welfare Reform Will Hit Health Care, Housing and Veterans
Politico reports: "The White House is quietly preparing a sweeping executive order that would mandate a top-to-bottom review of the federal programs on which millions of poor Americans rely. And GOP lawmakers are in the early stages of crafting legislation that could make it more difficult to qualify for those programs. … The president is expected to sign the welfare executive order as soon as January, according to multiple administration officials, with an eye toward making changes to health care, food stamps, housing and veterans programs, not just traditional welfare payments."

Blues lead the way - in late team changes
Carlton sits atop a ladder after all. Alas for the Blues' faithful, it is not the ladder which they have any desire to lead.
Seven rounds into the 2014 season, Carlton has made seven match day late-changes to its selected teams, three more than any other side in the AFL.
On Friday night against Collingwood, veteran pair Jarrad Waite and Andrew Carrazzo were both replaced at the last-minute with hamstring and back complaints respectively.
For their part, the Magpies made a couple of changes themselves, leaving out both Nick Maxwell (back) and Clinton Young (calf).
Eight players were omitted in total over the course of round seven, with the most curious case being that of Lions' monolith Jonathan Brown.
Brown was replaced by emergency Mitch Golby prior to Brisbane's clash with Sydney with the official reason given by the Lions being soreness. Many however were not surprised to see the ageing spearhead sit the game out, after triple-premiership coach and now Lions board member Leigh Matthews let it slip late in the week that Brown was likely to be rested.
Brown was nevertheless named, only to be predictably withdrawn 90 minutes before the first bounce.
Brisbane will not though be facing any sanctions from the AFL for the late omission. The league allows clubs to make changes to selected line-ups so long as replacements come from within the three designated emergencies.
As a result, penalties are rarely imposed by the AFL for alterations to teams. The last club punished by the league was the Western Bulldogs, who received a $10,000 fine for playing Tom Campbell in place of Ayce Cordy during a match last year, despite Campbell not being listed in the three emergencies.
At the time, AFL football manager Mark Evans indicated that it was necessary to provide a disincentive for clubs to deliberately tamper with their initially selected teams.
"The rules were in place so that no club may gain a tactical advantage over another club around the naming of their side for a particular match," Evans said.
However in light of the raft of changes, and questionable omissions such as that of Brown, it has been argued that the league needs to apply further pressure on clubs to be more transparent at the selection table, especially given the huge sums of money bet weekly on AFL games.
Adam Hamilton from TAB Sportsbet suggested however that bookmakers and punters were in the same boat when it came to late changes.
"We don't have any problem with it," Hamilton said.
"We have a team of AFL betting experts and we don't have any specific people to follow for any late changes. Twitter seems to be a great source of information these days.
Late changes are occurring a similar rate to last season, falling fractionally from 0.60 to 0.57 per game.

You may or may not have noticed but it has been very quite here at A Girl in Paradise.
There has been a lot of changes in my life recently, some good, and some bad, but changes all the same. Change can be good though, it gives us a chance to take inventory, and decide where our priorities lay. For me it has been my health and my family. Now I feel refreshed and ready to start something new.
I have been blogging here at A Girl in Paradise for 3 years now, and it has been great. I have learned so much from this awesome community of bloggers and I will be forever in your debt.
When I created this blog, oh so many years ago, I didn't really have a plan, I just wanted a place to share the things that I made. Now I have a better vision of what I want to say and it is time for me to create a new space where I can share more of my life, and not just my quilts. (Although, quilting is a big part of my life so it won't be left out.)
This blog will remain here, so you can still refer back to anything you have pinned or bookmarked. I just won't be actively posting here anymore.
Please join me at my new blog www.agirlinparadise.com.

text: I am currently using our smallest bedroom for scrapbookking. It is about 14 x 15. I am using the next smallest one, 14 x 18, as a guest/sewing room. Both are pretty cluttered. I am thinking about moving my scrapbook stuff into the larger room with all my sewing stuff and using the smaller one as a dedicated guest room. The problem with that is that the smaller room doesn't have an attached bathroom, but does have one just outside the door in the hall. OK, question is, what should I do? Keep everything as is, or combine scrapping and sewing. I have a LOT of both kinds of stuff and it would be a challenge to combine, but it would be nice to actually have a nice clean guest room, where you weren't looking at shelves of fabric, a cutting table and several sewing machines. What would y'all do?

Durango is an excellent place to be during the summer months: so many activities to enjoy, and not enough weekends to get to all of them.
With all thats going on, it is easy to forget the rules that apply to these activities and the responsibility we have for our own personal safety. The police department would like to remind all residents and visitors about some of the more commonly enforced municipal ordinances in the summer.
Fire danger always is a concern. Many of us lived through the Missionary Ridge Fire and would not like to live through another fire of that magnitude. Fourth of July is right around the corner. Remember that the citys municipal code prohibits possession of fireworks, which are defined as any combustible or explosive material combined in such a manner as to produce lights or flashes of light or explosive noises for display or amusement. Open fires also are banned inside city limits unless permitted by the fire code official.
Because of the danger, the police department frequently enforces these ordinances with a no-tolerance policy. During the Fourth of July, we will have extra officers out specifically enforcing the fireworks ordinance. This effort is not done to ruin someones holiday but rather to keep everyone safe from the high fire danger. Enjoy the fireworks display that will be put on by professionals from Durango Fire & Rescue Authority.
Rafting and tubing on the Animas River are enjoyed by many residents and visitors alike. With so many people on the river, water-safety issues become especially important. You should always wear a personal flotation device; never get in or on the water when you are intoxicated; and always check your equipment before embarking on a water trip. Open and closed containers of alcohol are not allowed on the water or in city parks.
Be courteous of others in the neighborhoods and on the water and have a fun and safe Fourth of July.
In relation to rafting and tubing, the police department frequently enforces codes banning open containers of alcohol; possession and consumption of alcohol in parks; urinating in public; and disturbing the peace.
Most river users do not know that the Animas River has been designated as a park where it travels through city limits. Even possession of alcohol is prohibited on the river. The Durango Police Department deploys bike-patrol officers throughout the summer who are assigned to work the river trail and raft put-ins looking for these and other violations.
Take the time to familiarize yourself with the rules associated with your activities so you can enjoy a safe and citation-free summer.
Lt. Ray Shupe is assistant operations division commander with the Durango Police Department.
