On Golden Pond:
A Passion for the Water
By Bob Adriance
They Have More Experience and Spend More Time on the Water
Than Any Other Age Group . . . Tapping into the
Wisdom of Senior Boaters
One night after laboriously transferring diesel fuel from his cars tank to their 38sailboats tank, John McPherson and two friends decided to sail from Annapolis, Maryland to Yorktown, Virginia, a distance of 130 miles. Even though it was dark and a little foggy, John said his friends were impatient to get going. There was a nice breeze; why wait until morning? He got out his handheld GPS, punched in a few key waypoints, and they were off.
Unlike stories in the claim files, Johns trip that night didnt end in a terrible collision, a fire, a sinking, or even a grounding. It did, however, teach him a lesson about his GPS. He said they were flying through the water at about 8 knots when the GPS began beeping to indicate an approaching waypointa green buoy. They began peering off into the darkness when this big green monster came zooming up inches away from the boat. He said it was higher than the sailboats cabin. One of his friends yelled#@**&%^were going to hit!
They didnt hit, although John said they didnt miss by much either. Hed always thought GPS had a built-in error but that night his handheld model was dead-on accurate. The lesson: He now punches in waypoints that are far enough away to guarantee a miss.
As stories go, this one wont have readers slapping their foreheads in disbelief; anybody who has been on the water probably has one or two that are similar. This isnt an article about spectacular mishaps. We figured boat owners over 70 would have a lot to say about the way they approach boatingwhat they do and what they dont do, based on their many years of experience.
In the July Seaworthy, we asked boaters over 70 to contact us. First, a brief profile of the ones (almost 100) who did: The average age was a shade under 76 years old and he or she has been boating for 50 years. Florida and Maryland were tied as the states with the most respondents, followed by California, Washington, Michigan and Texas. A total of 26 states were represented.
The respondents average boat size was 32 feet, with 59% having powerboats and 35% sail. The remaining 6% said they own both a power and a sailboat. These boats dont spend a lot of time at the marina either; almost 80% of the respondents report using their boats 30 days or more a year. Sixty percent said they voyage more than 100 miles from their homeports. Thats impressive, and while we dont have statistics for other age groups, its a safe bet that seniors are actively on the water, on average, much more than any other age group.
While several commented that growing older has meant physical limitations, 97% said that they are as good or better at operating their boats as they were 20 years ago. Seventy-two percent said they are more cautious. Eighty percent do all or most of their boats maintenance. A majority, 73%, stay in shape by exercising regularly, including swimming, lifting weights, walking, and going to the gym. One member who said he didnt exercise noted, . . . but I do all my work on the boat and my dog takes me for a walk several times a day.
The Good Old Days?
One thing quickly became apparent: Few older boaters pine for the good old days of wood boats and clunky flathead engines. Quite the contrary, nobody seems to appreciate the benefits of fiberglass as much as someone who used to start every boating season replacing planks, frames, and fasteners on a wood boat. The enthusiasm seniors show for innovations, ones that most younger people take for granted, is refreshing. Eighty-five-year-old Eugene Boggiatto, for example, said he bought his first outboard, a 25-hp Johnson, in 1950. He said it was among the first ones sold in California and caused quite a stir, No one could even imagine an outboard motor over 200 hp. WOW! Also mentioned as making boating safer and more enjoyable were GPS (remarkable!), refrigeration, air conditioning, autopilots, more reliable marine engines, DSC, radar, roller furling (greatest development since sliced bread), internet Doppler radar, a lot of nice gadgets, polymer paint, Dacron sails, and the bow thruster. The latter, according to David Clark, a Maryland boater who takes his single-engine trawler to Florida every winter, is a marriage saver.
Other changes that were noted by most include more and larger boats. Jerre Noe, an 81-year-old in Washington state, says his 28 sailboat, which hes had for 31 years, looks smaller each year in comparison to the ever-larger boats that are on the water. And
"Joseph Hlavin, Jr. in Arizona notes that while the newer technology has made it easier and safer to go cruising and exploring, the number of people on the water has made boating more difficult."
Much of the seniors concerns is that todays boats, while larger, better equipped, and prevalent in much greater numbers, tend to have owners who lack experience and are often inconsiderate: Many operators seem to be more aggressive now and less cautious; too many boaters with too little knowledge; too many boats with only one speedwide open; some real jerks throwing up big wakes; a lot more careless people, and, they dont seem to know what theyre doing . . . were just a few of the comments. Clay Kirksey, a 78-year-old in Tennessee, notes wryly that he has to keep in mind other boats may be as ignorant of the Rules of the Road as he was when he started boating. The near encounters can sometimes be dangerous. In the past year, Rich Dillion in New York said he was almost run down three times by overtaking boats: In each case, the boats were at least 40 long and apparently on autopilot. There was no one in sight.
Its no wonder then that seniors, many of whom are members of the Power Squadron and/or the Coast Guard Auxiliary, often mentioned the need for more education. Robert Brennan who does his boating on Long Island Sound, summed it up best, If I could, Id insist that every boat operator take and pass a Power Squadron or Coast Guard Auxiliary course with special emphasis on courtesy afloat chapters.
While the quotes below certainly dont constitute a boating course or even a chapter, youll find some valuable insights, large and small, learned over many lifetimes of boating. Its remarkable the number of accidents in the claim files that could have been prevented by following their advice.
On Growing Old on the Water
I was sitting on my boat yesterday drinking a cup of tea. I got to figuring the cost of owning a boat and then I went on to try and justify the cost. As an arbitrary figure, I assumed that a day underway is worth $100. It would cost at least that much to rent a boat for a few hours. Then I assumed that having a place to drop in, make a cup of tea, have lunch, maybe drink a beer and putter around was worth $25 per visit. I estimated that in the past two years I have justified over $11,000 worth of sailing and puttering. That's a lot less expensive than visiting a psychiatrist or a doctor every time something feels amiss. Jack McPherson, Washington state
Old dogs can learn new tricks, including building muscle, respiratory and cardiac capacity. Anyone who does not exercise regularly is making a deliberate decision not to feel as well as they might and to accept a lesser quality of life. They will be forced off the water long before their time. Barrie Smith, Florida
|I read articles about older people and their depression, health problems, and loneliness . . . All they need is a boat. Jack McPherson, Washington state
Boating is, and has always been, the single greatest joy of my life. Making it saferbeing out on safety patrol as an Auxiliarist at least once a weekis now my main occupation. Thomas Shaw, North Carolina
I am completely convinced that boating helps keep me young! Carmine Ippolito, New York
[My husband] died that winter at the age of 76 . . . I decided to keep the boat and attempt single-handed sailing. I ventured out alone, first onto the Portage River and then the lake. I was scared. Was I good at sailing? No, I did a few 360° tacks and couldn't always get the main up all the way. But I learn more every time I go out and it's good to be back on the water. Joanne Leussing, Ohio
On Boat Handling at the Dock
Your wallet can be a good teacher. I came into the dock way too quickly and destroyed my bow pulpit and anchor against a steel piling. Now I approach at a barely perceptible speed. Mark Rosen, Florida
I backed out of the slip and started my turn down the line of docked boats to the channel but was immediately swept into the port pilings and three sport fishing boats. The culprit was a six-knot cross current rushing toward Lake Worth Inlet. Subsequently, the claims appraiser at BoatU.S. told me I was the 12th boater that year to have the same thing happen to them. My mistake was not asking about such conditions; however, I fault the dockmaster for not warning all transient boaters of such conditions. Stu Dance, Maryland
We were told on the radio that there was only a little current. The current turned out to be so strong and the docking instructions so bad that once we were in position for the slip, maneuverability was impossible and we hit another boat. After that, we only select marinas that are in basins with no current. Bob and Glenna Davis, North Carolina
Boat Handling in Rough Weather
Unknown to me, the harbor had shoaled badly in the winter storms and, with the following sea, we got in trouble. By the time I realized it and took the helm from my crewmember, it was too late. We broached and rolled over. There was no loss of life or serious injuries but the boat was a total loss. What did I learn from it? Youre never so experienced that you can make assumptions about anything on the water. I should have been at the wheel. Ill let my crew run the boat now only when conditions are good. At night or in poor weather, Im at the wheel. Miles Stray, Connecticut
I was caught out in a norther for two nights while single handing from Key West to Burnt Store Marina. I lost the anchor and dinghy and became very cold, tired and hungry, which is my definition of an adventure. Dr. John Raffensperger, Illinois
Being an excitable type, I was articulating everything, including how dumb I was to start us out from Solomons at 1600 hours without really knowing how far we'd have to go to get in somewhere. The more I wrung my hands and moaned at our predicament, the more my friend Dave Ballantyne revealed the temperament that led him to flying choppers in the Marines. As time passed, he replied less and less to my spoutings and would say calmly as we worked our way into the Little Choptank, I think I see our next green flasher. We finally dropped anchor in about 10 feet of water and rode out the storm through the night. Dave was amazed as daylight returned that we were nowhere near the shore in any direction. Not knowing the Chesapeake, he assumed that 10 feet of water naturally meant you were right up next to something. What I learned from that pre-GPS caper is (1) to imagine the entire trip in advance, to the extent possible, (2) to be sure you allow daylight if you're in unfamiliar waters, and (3) above all, stay calm and FOCUS if you can! Dave Bowes, Maryland
On Alcohol and Boating
I lost a winch handle over the side after drinking a beer 25 years ago. Since then, I only drink under conditions of severe hypothermia. John Raffensperger, MD, Lake Michigan
When I was younger, it took at least a six-pack of beer to make the boat move. Now I have at least as much fun with Gatorade. Henry Gattone, Georgia
Drinking anything stronger than juice or water underway is stupid. David Kessler, Washington state
On Weather
One mistake was not sticking to my judgment when there was a bad weather forecast. I bowed to peer pressure and left a secure harbor for a 45-mile trip. Bradley Whitney, Massachusetts
My biggest mistake was not checking the weather before taking a 160-mile offshore trip. James Taylor, Texas
I learned that the Chesapeake is not a quiet lake. We were caught below the Rappahannock River headed south with a strong north wind. The waves were steep and we broached twice, breaking three windows. The mirror on the saloon wall and all the furniture was thrown into the galley. A passenger said, If I ever see another tree, Ill never go boating again. When we finally reached Hampton Roads, I was only able to turn right by ducking into the lee of a large freighter, which kept the waves off my starboard side.Now Im more careful to monitor the weather channel as well as the forecast on the marine radio. We also dont go south of Solomons Island. Jack Stickley, Maryland
Over the years, you are simply more aware of how quickly things can change from pleasant to damn unpleasant. So you avoid those situations whenever possible. Barrie Smith, Florida
Within minutes, the sun came out and the sea calmed. A number of elementary conclusions can be drawn. We will not soon play dodge em with a Chesapeake thunderstorm. We will not belay the mainsheet under any circumstances and we will always, as we did, explain basic safety provisions to any passengers, particularly inexperienced ones. Rear Admiral NOAA (Ret.) Harley D. Nygren, Virginia
When theres only the weekend to sail, one tends to go out even if the weather is not good. We now pick our weather and have stayed at anchorages for a few days waiting for fog to lift or storms to pass. Arthur Krieger, New York
I would rather be in the marina wishing we were on the water than on the water wishing we were in the marina. Bob and Glenna Davis, North Carolina
On Running Inlets
Many years ago, I was on my dock and heard that the football tuna were running about 10 miles offshore. I jumped in my 24 SeaRay and headed out. But instead of being cautious, I foolishly took a shortcut and went out of Moriches Inlet. There wasnt enough water and a wave hit and swung the boat sideways. Another wave blew out all of the windows. What did I learn from this? Have respect for the water and dont take chances just for a fish. Carmine Ippolito, New York
On the way in, I broadcast inlet conditions on Ch. 68 (the fishing chit-chat channel) so the others can consider the situation. Alan Reff, New York
On Using Charts
We were approaching the Richelieu River Bridge and hadnt sighted any day markers or buoys. We started to pass under one of the two 50 spans when a boater behind us sounded warning blasts on his horn. He then went through a 25 span on the west bank. We were suddenly in four feet of water with a strong (seven- to eight-knot) current. We carefully spotted the two (badly faded) day markers. The bridge is marked on the chart and we had not checked the chart carefully before approaching the bridge. It is now highlighted on our chart! Ron and Doris Alderman, Vermont
A storm three years earlier had closed the channel wed selected on the chart. The markers still remained, but [the channel] didnt exist. We learned that using local knowledge is critical. Its important to call ahead to dockmasters or TowBoatU.S. Joseph Hlavin, Jr., Florida
We thought we should have been there by now and checking the depth readings with the chart, we found we were south of Block Island and heading for Portugal. The Loran was installed shortly thereafter. Arthur Krieger, New York
They were ahead of us and we simply followed behind. Suddenly I saw a rock shaped like a fence post sticking about a foot out of the water. It was only six feet away. Lesson: Youve got to read the chart, regardless of circumstances. Joanne Leussing, Ohio
On Maintenance
I have become almost obsessive about preventative maintenance. Each spring I go through all the systems checking operation, looking for corrosion, bad wiring, cracked impellers, blockages or reduced water flows, etc. My goal is to get through the boating season without breakdowns or failures. Occasional oversights have kept me humble. John Rutter, Washington state
On Boating at Night
I dont like to boat at night. Years ago it seemed like a great adventure. One night we thought we were seeing the city lights of Catalina and it ended up being a tug towing two barges with long lines between them and lots of lights. As we approached the barge in the darkness, I realized by the time/distance that it could not be the island, and changed my course just in time to pass around the barge tow line. Ed Snyder, California
Ive learned that when youre tired, you make mistakes. Kelly Beyer, Tennessee
On Modern Electronics
We left Perry Sound in Georgian Bay, headed for Kilarney. Several hours out, the GPS went outlater turned out to be an opening in the antenna cable. About 100 miles later, we were several miles off course, ending up on Triangle shoals NE of Kilarney. The boat took a good pounding and the rudder was damaged but no leaks and we continued sailing all summer. Lessons learned: If you are going to depend on GPS, have a backup. Lesson 2: Don't lose traditional navigating skills. Jack Behrend, Illinois
On Autopilots
Id just as soon forget this but it wont go away: I was sitting happily on the flybridge of our sportfisher with no one else aboard. I was headed to a yacht club and noticed I was flying the wrong burgee. Protocol overrode clear thinking and I went forward. The wind had been picking up and the boat topped a wave and swung 90° into a bank. What did I learn? Accident-free records are meant to be broken and autopilots can help. Wilbur Tapscott, San Francisco Bay
Dont touch the automatic pilot after dark. Kelly Beyer, Tennessee
Miscellaneous Thoughts and Observations
After several mishaps, I got the message and started doing a lot of READING about all facets of boating. George Fisher, Texas
I learn something every trip. I think [checklists] are more important than people realize. They often permit the operator to see something that is not quite the way it was the last time. Charles Ford, Maryland
Ive learned to think like a riverstay on the outside at the bends for best depths. Kelly Beyer, Tennessee
I no longer forget to put the plug in the bilge drain. Dean Kessler, Sr., Puget Sound
I told the crew the symptoms of dragging anchor and then ignored them myself when they occurred. We went up on a lee shore I spent most of the night working on it. Dan Allen, Maine
Over the past five years Ive been racing my Tartan single-handed. Im not trying to make a statement; its a great teacher and great fun. Single-handing places a premium on making sure everything works the way it is supposed to and is properly maintained. You learn to think ahead. The downside is there is no one to yell at or blame. Barrie Smith, Florida
I have had to teach my husband the controls . . . there should always be another person able to bring the boat in. Ursula Yanno, Florida

FreeBSD 6.3 EOL
From the announce@ list:
On January 31st, FreeBSD 6.3 will reach its End of Life and will no longer be supported by the FreeBSD Security Team. Users of this release are strongly encouraged to upgrade to a newer release before that date -- more conservative users will probably wish to upgrade to FreeBSD 6.4 or FreeBSD 7.1 (which are both extended-support branches), while others will probably wish to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.2 or the upcoming FreeBSD 8.0. The freebsd-update(8) utility can be used to upgrade i386 and amd64 systems from 6.3-RELEASE (or 6.3-RELEASE-pX for some X) to 6.4-RELEASE using binary updates (i.e., without compiling from source) as described in the 6.4-RELEASE announcement; given an adequate internet connection, this process usually takes 15 minutes or less.
The current supported branches and expected EoL dates are: +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Branch | Release | Type | Release date | Estimated EoL | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_6 |n/a |n/a |n/a |November 30, 2010| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_6_3 |6.3-RELEASE |Extended|January 18, 2008 |January 31, 2010 | |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |RELENG_6_4 |6.4-RELEASE |Extended|November 18, 2008|November 30, 2010| |---------------------------------------------------------------------| |RELENG_7 |n/a |n/a |n/a |last release + 2y| |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_1 |7.1-RELEASE |Extended|January 4, 2009 |January 31, 2011 | |-----------+------------+--------+-----------------+-----------------| |RELENG_7_2 |7.2-RELEASE |Normal |May 4, 2009 |May 31, 2010 | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ When FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE is released, it will receive "Normal" support, i.e., it will be supported for at least 12 months.

Enterprise software is the sum of its qualities and parts, just as a good man is. Sure, a good man may have killed a person once in his lifetime, but is he still good in the long run? Is it enough to count against him, for all the right things he's done?
php and perl have a harder time since there's no one company (read authority w/ money, consultants and professionals) saying, "yes, it's good. we provide something and prove it." To some degree, they deliver, to some they don't. Sun does that for java, even if it spins the truth a little, like cross platform compatability. where's my jvm for my c64! ;)
Same w/ ES. Sure perl is enterprise level, but not for the same reason oracle is, different component types. Certainly for not the same reason java is, but they seem to converge a little, w/ the advent of ORMs, XML processing, fast web prototyping and what not. But they don't converge due to the tools involved and their qualities, that can be argued all day long. 'cause it's like pizza toppings. Do we ever agree on that? (Ham and Pinapple ftw!)

Last week we heard that Sprint was developing their own NFC-based mobile wallet application, and today an insider has passed along to us a couple presentation slides to let us know that it's real. We don't yet have any specifics about participating financial partners, but based on the screens we see McDonald's, Barnes and Noble, Macy's, Target, Best Buy and others look to be on board (or at the very least used as examples) with either loyalty cards, or they'll accept full payments.
From what we can tell, it looks very much like Google's own Wallet app -- which for now has Sprint as its lone official carrier partner. Using a passcode, Touch Wallet is unlocked and you'll be presented with a screen of options, or if the phone is tapped to a card reader you'll see your credit cards presented. When it's all done, everything locks back up. Yeah, that sounds pretty familiar to everyone with a Nexus S 4G, doesn't it?
The biggest and most important questions are still unanswered. Namely, what bank partners will Sprint have, when will we see it unveiled, and will there be any extra security or lock-down on Touch Wallet enabled phones to keep things like this from happening. Nobody with those answers is talking just yet, but we expect to hear more sometime soon.
Could this be the one for everyone to get behind? Maybe. With all the competing "standards" one will have to rise to the top before NFC wallets become more than a novelty in the US. We'll all just have to wait it out.
We've got one more pic after the break.
Thanks, Anon!

It's the kind of wasteful behavior that drives taxpayers crazy.
A staffer at the Department of Mental Health decided it would be worthwhile to spend hours hanging out with celebrities in Southern California, attending concerts and star-studded golf tournaments. Trouble was, according to a whistleblower report made public Thursday, that staffer did his stargazing on the tapayers' dime.
That was just one highlight of a list of misdeeds compiled by State Auditor Elaine Howle.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
According to investigators, that worker argued that attending the events, including the Golden Globe Awards, allowed him to hit up Hollywood-types to support mental health programs.
Auditors weren't amused, and said all that activity added up to more than $50,000 in salary that wasn't justified.
Other findings:
-A Fish and Game worker improperly got the go-ahead to use a state vehicle to commute between the home and office. The worker rolled up 20,000 miles over nine months, costing the taxpayers more than $8,000.
-A state Corrections Department psychologist did a bit of moonlighting, using state computers to conduct work for his private psychology practice. Auditors figure that added up to more than $200,000 in lost productivity.

It's Time to Visit Schoop's
Schoop's hamburgers have been a part of the Calumet Region of Indiana and Illinois since 1948. It's the area southeast of Chicago where gutsy workers make steel, refine oil and build things big - Just like Schoop's.
Fresh and never frozen, cooked to crispy perfection, a Schoop's burger spills out of the bun. Throw in an endless cup of good coffee, efficient service and a throwback feel and it's no wonder that Calumet Region folk have been coming to Schoop's for generations.
Now it's time to share. Schoop's has many locations from Orland Park, IL., to Warsaw, IN., with most locations centered around the original stores near Munster, IN.
We have a new location now open in Tinley Park, IL!

Ensure data privacy by encrypting data stored on your endpoints—including PCs, Macintoshes, DVDs, and USB drives, which can easily be lost or stolen. Trend Micro™ Endpoint Encryption provides the data security you need with full disk encryption, folder and file encryption, and removable media encryption.
Trend Micro™ endpoint encryption helps you prevent data theft and accidental data loss along with the compliance violations, reputation damage, and revenue loss. Endpoint Encryption can be managed as a standalone solution or integrated with other Trend Micro products, such as OfficeScan and Control Manager.
A single console makes it easy to manage encryption keys and synchronize policy across all encryption components. It also enforces secure authentication and provides the real-time auditing tools to ensure regulatory compliance. Other data management features include user-based self-help options and remote device control. Trend Micro Control Manager can also be used to provide a unified management console with other Trend Micro products. The encryption client can also be deployed with Trend Micro OfficeScan endpoint security.
In the event a device is lost or stolen, full disk encryption ensures your data is unreadable. We offer a software- or hardware-based solution to fit your needs. For low startup costs, our software-based full disk encryption uses FIPS-140 certified and Common Criteria encryption with a network-aware pre-boot authentication. When automation and ease-of-use are a priority, our hardware-based full disk encryption deploys and manages self-encrypting drives using the OPAL and OPAL 2 standard.
Encrypt select files, folders, or external media by using a drag and drop, single-click capability. Users simply need a user key, group key, static one-time password, or smartcard certificate. Files can be encrypted with a self-extracting executable if they are going to be shared outside the organization.
Allow administrators to enforce policy and protect data that is copied to removable media such as USB drives, CDs and DVDs. From the centralized policy console, encryption can be enforced or made optional for users writing to these devices.
Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption can manage Microsoft BitLocker and Apple FileVault which are encryption products delivered within the operating systems. Now corporate policy and control can be applied to those devices without the need to install an encryption agent.
In the event you lose a device, compliance mandates may require you to prove the device was encrypted. Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption's advanced management console offers real-time status reports, including the last time a particular device was connected to your network. And with devices that have network-aware pre-boot options, administrators can reset or "kill" a lost or stolen device before it re-boots. The central management console has capabilities to recover lost data, update policies, and deploy new devices with ease.
Trend Micro Endpoint Encryption is available in a variety of platform options. Full disk encryption can be deployed as a software solution or OPAL and OPAL 2 compliant self-encrypting drives. Whatever the method, all devices are secured with a robust AES256 encryption algorithm. There are many options for user authentication, including RSA SecureID tokens.
Choose between managing encryption keys available through OS vendors such as Microsoft BitLocker or Macintosh FileVault. Or deploy Trend Micro's advanced encryption agent to your devices.
Industry mandates and legislation often describe how devices should be encrypted and require detailed product certifications. Trend Micro encryption products are covered by the most stringent and up-to-date standards, such as FIPS-140-2/3, Common Criteria, and NSTISSP to name a few.
Reduce your cost of ownership through integration with other Trend Micro management tools and innovative deployment capabilities that let you easily deploy without disrupting users. Once deployed, the automated reporting, auditing, and policy updating means that administering encrypted devices is easy. An optional end-user self-service portal for password administrationfurther reduces IT management.

Advocates and health care providers for LGBT and HIV-positive residents in Maryland have been scrambling for months to gather information on how the Affordable Care Act will impact their clients -- and now they're looking to share the information.
"We really need help to get the word out," said Doug Rose, a volunteer with Equality Maryland, at a public meeting on the health care rollout in Mount Vernon on Monday night. "I think a lot of people still don't know what to do."
Rose said lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals and those who are HIV-positive have experienced historic discrimination in the health insurance market -- with women and gay men at times facing steeper fees -- that the ACA now forbids.
"My message today is really, for most people, it's pretty simple," he said, of taking advantage of new coverage options.
The meeting at Chase Brexton Health Care's new facilities on North Charles Street, held in partnership with Equality Maryland and Free State Legal, was the first of four such events planned by the advocacy organizations this month.
The room was staffed with ACA advisors and navigators, stocked with sandwiches and refreshments, but only a few people showed up for the free advice on navigating the new health care law.
Both a man and a woman, who did not wish to be identified, asked questions about seeking health insurance under the state's expanded Medicaid program after a brief presentation from Rose and other panel members from Chase Brexton and Free State.
According to the panelists, the Medicaid expansion will offer some HIV-positive Maryland residents with more coverage than existing offerings, like Ryan White programs, but that many Ryan White wrap-around services like food assistance and transportation services will continue.
They also said the Maryland AIDS Drug Assistance Program could continue to be a resource for individuals who obtain health insurance through the open market.
Other issues are less clear, they said. Advocates are still working to determine if some procedures, like sex reassignment surgeries, or treatments, like hormones for transgender residents, will be covered under the new plans.
"Advocates are looking at these things. We are tracking these things," Rose said.
Representatives from Chase Brexton said LGBT and HIV-positive residents can contact their staff at firstname.lastname@example.com -- regardless of whether they are Chase Brexton clients -- to be connected with assistance in finding a health care plan.
Anne Blackfield, director of outreach and pro bono services at Free State Legal, said her organization is also available to provide legal advice on complicated issues such as filing jointly for coverage as a married same-sex couple.
"No matter what, we're very fortunate to be living in Maryland, because everyone here wants this to be a success," Rose said, noting that advocates are working closely with the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to understand the law's impact on the LGBT community. "If things get rocky, just be patient and know that everything will be OK."
Latest Features
The next event is at 6 p.m. at the Chase Brexton center in Columbia, at 5500 Knoll North Drive, Suite 370. There are two events on Thursday: the first at 12 p.m. at the Chase Brexton center in Easton, at 8221 Teal Drive, Suite 202; the second at 6 p.m. at the Chase Brexton center in Randallstown, at 3510 Brenbrook Drive.

Lost gun leads to termination
A local sheriff's deputy was fired after losing his shotgun
A Benton County Sheriff's Deputy lost his job after losing his shotgun.
"I had asked the part-time deputies to come in so we could inventory their equipment," Benton County Sheriff Kelley Cradduck said.
According to Cradduck, one of those deputies got everything put back in its place except his shotgun, which was left on top of his car. That deputy was Mark Heiner
"He forgot about it, drove off, and it has been missing ever since. So at this point, we're asking the public to try and help us locate that gun, which is a 12 gauge shotgun. It has a pistol grip on it, and there's a sheriff emblem on the shotgun as well," Cradduck said.
He said they retraced Heiner's steps from that night but never found the gun.
"It's uncommon and unfortunate. It was a mistake and an accident. It makes me sad because it ended a law enforcement career, at least here at this department, and I terminated his employment Thursday after an internal investigation was completed," Cradduck said.
Now, they're just hoping it hasn't gotten into the wrong hands.
"It's unloaded, but that doesn't mean they can't purchase ammo for it anywhere. The danger is, you just hope that a child or a convicted felon doesn't pick it up, or someone that would use it for some type of criminal purposes. At this point there are no charges being filed against anyone. If they have it, found it, please turn it in. There are no questions asked," Cradduck said.
He said they plan to do more searches for the gun this weekend.

Bearing carriers
Greater stability for high power density gearboxes
Designed for high power density transmissionsThis pre-assembled unit consists of two bearings (typically either deep groove ball bearings or cylindrical roller bearings) pressed into a sheet metal carrier.
The distance between bearing centers is equal to the center distance of the gearbox.The carrier's shape and the bearing types are tailored to the specific requirements of the particular gearbox. When acting at the locating bearing position (withdeep groove ball bearings) this pre-assembled unit bolts onto the gearbox housing, replacing the conventional bearing outer ring seats. Other benefits include:
- Reduced system costs
- Improved operating efficiency
- Reduced noise and vibration
- More compact, lightweight designs
- Optimized designs before prototyping
- Reduced development time
- Simplified assembly

Wanted: Skilled Case Manager
First published on September 16, 2011.
As we've mentioned in several articles, existing adult services are generated by a variety of state and federal agencies. Creating a system of support for an adult on the spectrum is like piecing together a quilt. You take a bit from here, some from there, and stitch it together. And while many hands can work on sewing a quilt, one person must stand back, look at the unified whole, and determine how to fit pieces together successfully.
In the medical and social services universe, that point person is often referred to as a case manager. The duties of a case manager are many, and can include locating, coordinating, overseeing, and evaluating services. A case manager must understand the variety and complexity of a client's needs, and match services accordingly. A case manager must track progress over time, and make changes to service provision as needed. And a case manager must be able to keep fiscal imperatives in mind at all times.
Most adults on the autism spectrum would likely benefit greatly from good case management services. And while many people receive truncated versions of this through one agency or another, these efforts may not be holistic enough. Job performance may be examined, but without understanding medication management, success may be elusive. Training opportunities may exist, but without access to adequate transportation. Postsecondary education may be in the works, but sleep issues may interfere with class attendance.
So who do you get to be your adult child's case manager? Depending on your location, you may be able to find a professional in your area who understands developmental disabilities, maybe even autism. If you are very, very lucky, you may even be able to access these services through public funding streams. But in all likelihood, your adult child's case manager will end up being you, your spouse, or another family member.
Wait a second, you exclaim. I'm just now wrapping up overseeing my kid's IEP process. And keeping track of his medical and therapeutic needs. You mean I can't stop??
That's right. You can't stop now. Depending on your child's level of independent functioning, you may be able to teach him how to take over some of these responsibilities. But for most parents of adults with autism, you or someone in your family will need to take on the role of case manager. It will undoubtedly seem like an enormous task. But it is a crucial one. Effective case management should not be overlooked. It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day needs. But big picture requirements and coordination of services can't get put on the back burner.
The good news is that you don't have to have a degree in nursing or social work to be an effective case manager for your adult child. After all, you are the expert here. You have the benefit of knowing all the gory details of your kid's strengths and weaknesses. You also can reflect on trajectory of lifespan services up to now. And, you've got a vested interest in the future. So your version of case management will focus not only on what's happening today, but what tomorrow will bring.
A big piece of our mission at Autism After 16 is to help provide you with information to make you a more effective case manager. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it. Like it or not, the somebody is probably you.

A while back we featured perhaps the greatest leap forward in sci-fi swimwear in history, the R2D2 bathing suit (with a C-3PO counterpart). They were sold by the hipster-ish, but creative clothing company Black Milk, but now it seems that Lucas sent his copyright bounty hunters to assassinate their project, as the suits are no longer for sale on the site.
But that didn't stop a bunch of girls from buying them when they were for sale, and if Lucas started having troops invade homes and snatch up swimsuits, I think he'd have a whole different set of problems on his hands.
So this post is a tribute to all the girls who were geeky enough to pick up the suit while it was still on sale. Normally one-pieces are for grandmas, but with how cool this one is, I'd take it over a bikini any day. Alright, that's not true, but it's still pretty great.
Check out the gallery below, many are from GeeksareSexy, but I tracked down more on my own.

Donated by France
First awarded in 2004, engraved with names of winners of all F1A Junior events.
Story of the trophy by Pierre Chaussebourg, French Delegate and ClAM Bureau member from 1975 to 2005:
When I was a young kid, at the end of the 1st World war, I spent hours dreaming in front of this airplane.
Much later, after I became an aeromodeller, a private pilot a soaring instructor, I discovered a magazine from March-April 1937 where there is a photo of this Trophy... offered at a competition in Dieppe (Normandie). My father confirmed that this airplane had been given to him by refugees from Normandie that he helped to escape from the France occupied area in 1942 or43...
Gabriel ROBINET was a military pilot. He got the military pilot licence N0 15 082 on 10 August 1918, FAI licence N0 14700 dated l0 February 1919. He died in an accident with his aircraft on 20 February 1919 near Thionville, France. He was my uncle, the oldest brother of my mother.
Both this aircraft and the memory of my uncle made my dream come true. May the winners of this Trophy have as much passion as I got with my love of airsports.

Creating a Comprehensive Risk Management Program
Risk management is a program designed to identify potential events that may affect the government and to protect and minimize risks to the governments property, services, and employees. Effective risk management ensures the continuity of government operations. The importance of risk management has been growing steadily over the last several years for a variety of reasons including legal, political, and medical liability, increased use of technology, and higher litigation costs.
Risk management is geared to achieving a governments objectives through strategic decisions that flow through high-level goals, effective use of resources, reliability of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
GFOA recommends that governments develop a comprehensive risk management program that identifies, reduces or minimizes risk to its property, interests, and employees. Costs and consequences of harmful or damaging incidents arising from those risks should be contained. Adequate and timely compensation for restoration and recovery is another consideration.
The following steps should be included in an effective risk management program.
1. Risk Identification An essential component in identifying risk is to understand the sources, types, and likelihood of risk. Risk identification should identify at a minimum the exposures in each of these areas.
- Physical environment (natural or man -made disasters and infrastructure)
- Legal environment (laws and legal precedents)
- Operational environment (day-to-day activities and actions within the local government, including services provided and workforce demographics)
- Political environment (legislative activity, elections)
- Social environment (socio-economic composition of the community)
- Economic environment (market trends, interest rates)
- Internal environment (the attitude of individuals towards risk)
2. Risk Evaluation The frequency and severity of claims should be monitored and modifications made as necessary. Risk evaluation reports often include such information as the number of open claims, the amount paid out, and the amount reserved. Report results should be communicated in a form and timeframe that enable employees to carry out their responsibilities. Over time, these reports reveal a governments risk profile. The Public Risk Management Association (PRIMA) has a variety of risk evaluation data available to governments.
3. Risk Treatment After identifying and evaluating risk exposures, the next step is to decide how best to treat the exposures. Management may select a variety of risk responses avoiding, accepting, reducing, sharing, or transferring risk. A risk management program should be a well-rounded combination of preventative and control measures, risk transfer, and risk retention. The latter two methods refer to a government either shifting the financial burden of risk to another entity or performing the task of risk financing in-house. In addition to these three methods, governments may occasionally choose not to provide a service altogether, a risk management technique known as risk avoidance.
- Loss prevention and control Training, workshops, and inspections are common loss control measures.
- Risk transfer Two basic types of risk transfer involve financial or contractual risk.
- Financial risk transfer may involve the use of an insurance company or risk managements pools. The criteria for procuring insurance should involve quality and scope of service, breadth of coverage (level of deductibles), financial stability, and cost. Most governments typically begin with three basic types of coverage.
- Property insurance protects against damage or loss of property.
- Liability insurance covers losses related to a government being found negligent in the performance of operations.
- Workers compensation provides employees with coverage for all medical bills resulting from job-related injuries or disabilities as well as lost income.
- Risk management pools may be classified through various factors like type of service, lines of coverage, or type of government. Additional information on risk management pools can be found through the Association of Government Risk Pools (AGRiP). A government can also transfer risk by having a contractor pick up the liability.
- Risk retention When a government retains risk (i.e., self insures) it assumes financial responsibility for some losses. Retaining some risk (e.g., paying a deductible) can lower the governments premiums. However, the government needs to be aware of its exposures through self-insurance.
- Risk avoidance Governments may avoid providing specific services if the risk management costs are excessive.
4. Risk Management Implementation To implement a risk management program, consideration should be given to the establishment of risk management polices and procedures that includes a statement of the organizations goals, identifies officials charged with carrying out risk-related functions (e.g., planning, organizing, coordinating, implementing, monitoring, and controlling the governments risk management program), and contains guidelines for making decisions about fundamental activities (e.g., risk control and risk finance). It is essential that government officials are aware of not only the policies and procedures, but that the risk responses are implemented and effectively carried out.
5. Risk Program Review In the environment of shrinking budgets and increased accountability within the government, it is essential that organizations review the effectiveness and efficiency of the risk management programs functioning within their organizations and make changes or modifications as necessary.

3.0.3-rc2 (2012-11-16)
3.0.3 provides security fixes, bugfixes and a number of minor enhancements since 3.0.2.
Upgrading from 3.0.x should be a straightforward matter of dropping in the new release, with the exception noted below.
Impact of the upgrade:
- Reset password email links generated prior to 3.0.3 will cease to work.
- Users who use the "remember me" login feature will have to log in again.
API changes related to the below security patch:
Member::generateAutologinHashis deprecated. You can no longer get the autologin token from
AutoLoginHashfield in
Member. Instead use the return value of the
Member::generateAutologinTokenAndStoreHashand do not persist it.
Security::getPasswordResetLinknow requires
Memberobject as the first parameter. The password reset URL GET parameters have changed from only
h(for hash) to
m(for member ID) and
t(for plaintext token).
RandomGenerator::generateHashwill be deprecated with 3.1. Rename the function call to
Security: Hash autologin tokens before storing in the database.
Severity: Moderate

My recollection is that there were two significant aspects (for which I can't find references but which I'm trying to reconstruct) which might have altered the result in Malaya in 1941-42.
1. Churchill diverted forces originally destined for Malaya to North Africa, allowing Auchinleck to launch Operation Crusader in mid-November 1941 but thereby locking Commonwealth troops in to North Africa during the Japanese assault on Malaya.
2. There was a substantial RAF reserve kept in Britain following the Battle of Britain a year earlier which could have been sent to Malaya, thus providing more modern aircraft capable of fighting the Japanese aircraft, and more of them than the second rate aircraft actually used in Malaya by the British.
I'm trying to work out whether I'm suffering from brain fade here or whether Britain could really have sent useful forces which might have altered the result in Malaya.
Anyone have any more detailed info on what could have gone to Malaya?

Travel writer Jan Henderson appreciates a welcome return to the popular Italian ski resort.
NEVER go back, they say – but whoever "they" are, I suspect they have never been skiing in Sestriere. I've been back to the Italian resort three times now – it's been great each time, and I'll go back again if I get the chance.
My most recent visit was in early February this year, courtesy of Crystal Ski Holidays and the Vialattea tourist office – and in a season blighted by a lack of good early snow, our visit was blessed with an abundance of the white stuff, with a big dump of snow just before we arrived. Fresh snow and clear blue skies will obviously make any ski resort look its best, but I have skied Sestriere and the Vialattea (Milky Way) when snow conditions have been less than great, and the resort's north-west facing runs and high position (2040 metres, with the highest lift at 2840 metres) usually mean that there's still plenty of good skiing to be enjoyed.
The recent snowfall meant that our coach struggled to reach the resort, as the driver was reluctant to put on the snow chains after the two-hour or so transfer from Turin airport – but we eventually slithered through to arrive at the welcoming Hotel du Col. The low-rise hotel must be the best placed in the resort for skiers as it is literally at the foot of the slopes, with a selection of chairlifts just a short walk from the boot room.
The recently-refurbished hotel has stylish, modern and comfortable twin, triple, quad and single en-suite rooms to suit a variety of group needs, while the large self-service restaurant offers regional and Italian specialities to suit every taste. The bar downstairs is a congenial place to while away an hour or two and swap ski stories with your friends and other guests.
If you are looking for serious nightlife, Sestriere is probably not the place to be – Souze d'Oulx, pretty much next-door in the Vialattea ski area, is famous/notorious for that – but that's not to say Sestriere has no après ski or places to go when the lifts shut for the day. Liveliest is GFC (Gargote Fashion Café), accessible by ski or a short walk up the slope from the resort, which aims to be an Italian-style Folie Douce après ski party/music venue, and gets very busy indeed as the day's skiing draws to a close, but also has themed events in the evenings.
However, if you prefer your après ski a little more restrained, a stroll around town will show plenty of bars and restaurants. The Italians love their food, and the restaurants reflect this, with destinations to reflect most tastes and budget. Our group was fortunate to eat out one evening at the splendid Principe di Piemonte hotel on the edge of town – also available on Crystal's hotel roster – where the food for guests is a cut above, and that's without venturing into their gourmet Belle Epoque restaurant.
The passion for good food extends to the slopes themselves, where there are plenty of places to stop off for anything from a hot chocolate or a beer to a full lunch. The Refugio Aquila Nera, easily accessed in the centre of the Bancetta Bowl above Sestriere, and the Ristorante Monte Triplex in Sportina both did our little group proud with extensive arrays of local and traditional delicacies – fuelling us up for a few more hours of afternoon skiing.
Which leads me neatly to the skiing itself – after all, that's the main reason you'll be spending your hard-earned cash to visit the resort. The majority of British skiers heading to the slopes each winter fall into the intermediate category – and Sestriere, and indeed the whole Vialattea area, is intermediate heaven. The area lift pass covers the massive 400 kilometre Milky Way area, with 109 of the 200-plus runs designated intermediate, and these range from the high, open Olympic runs well above the tree line at the top of Sestriere to long wooded pistes down towards the Borgata area. There's a similar mix of terrains across the whole area, and an average intermediate will have no trouble skiing across to the other main resorts of Pragelato, Sansicario, Cesan, Claviere and the aforementioned Souze d'Oulx.
The far reaches of the Vialattea even stretch across the border to the French resort of Montgenevre – well worth a visit, but includes a number of long, often chilly chairlifts. A better option is to take advantage of the away-day Crystal excursion – a 45 minute coach ride that gets you to Montgenevre as the lifts open and gives you a full day on their pistes, rather than spending a good part of the day trekking there and back.
For more advanced skiers the huge Amfiteatro bowl offers excellent skiing, and the black runs at the top of Motta and Sises provide a challenge for experts. The famous Kandahar Slalom and Kandahar Banchetta runs are used in World Championship races. I'm no off-piste skier myself, but am reliably informed that Sestriere has plenty of off-piste opportunities. The Monginevro Pass has a lot of easily accessible bowls from the lifts or with a short hike on skins, while the route down to Pragelato involves a lovely open bowl at the beginning followed by some exciting lines through a larch forest.
For beginners, slopes fan out in an arc from the ski school meeting place in the centre of Sestriere – right next to the Hotel du Col - with easy runs from the two baby lifts and the Jolly, while to the right of the area are two drag lifts, ideal for first timers.
A six day high season area pass, which covers all lifts on the Italian side of the Milky Way area plus one day skiing in Montgenèvre, is £166 for adults and £31 for a child under seven – actually pretty reasonable for 400-odd kilometres of piste when you compare it with about £250 for a six day Tignes/Val d'Isere pass or £265 for the Trois Vallees in France.
Add the relaxed, genuinely welcoming Italian atmosphere to the fantastic skiing, comfortable hotels coupled with great food and drink and you'll quickly see why so many Brits – myself included – are happy to keep going back to Sestriere.
Jan Henderson travelled to Sestriere with Crystal Ski Holidays (www.crystalski.co.uk; 020 8610 3123), who offer a week's half board at the four-star Hotel du Col in Sestriere, Italy, from £689 per person (based on two sharing) including flights from Gatwick to Turin and transfers (price given is for departure on 8 April 2018). Direct flights available from all major UK airports.

No Artificial Ingredients: A Tropical Urban High Rise
Project (Studio)
Architecture in the 20th century began as a celebration of the Age of Industry and Technology; but this has rapidly changed in response to a new Age of Information and Ecology. In response to the dramatic physical, social and climatic changes in the world, architecture will keep changing and will probably change more radically in the next two decades than it has changed in the past century. This will become especially important in places that need to re-think the way they conceive their cities and buildings due to future expected phenomena like population growth, increase in density, climatic changes and scarce resources. This is the particular situation for numerous Latin American cities, many of which are located in the tropics, where a large percentage of the world's population lives. This project explores the making of new buildings and cities in San Jose, Costa Rica, a place know for its ecological attractions, but where the built environment needs to be rethought.

Association Archives
An office for the association was established in New York City in 1949; until that time there was no office for the Association and therefore no centralized place to store records of the association. In 1949 the first staff person was hired, but only on a part-time basis. Talcott Parsons described the early operation of the association in a column in the February 1966 issue of The American Sociologist:
The Association up to that time had been run with the utmost informality. The chief administrative officer was the Secretary, who managed the affairs from his own departmental office – the last incumbent under this arrangement was Ernest Mowrer at Northwestern. The Secretary was merely given very modest funds for clerical assistance, on anything like a full time basis, I believe, employing one secretary, with some extra help for such functions as getting out dues notices. The President, then as now, conducted his share of the business without any formal help. The only other operation was the Review which by then had been established for a little over ten years. The Editor managed it in his own institution, with very modest funds for clerical assistance provided by the Association.
Records from the creation of the Association in 1905 through 1949, if they exist, are mostly in the archival holdings of the early Presidents of the Association, in university libraries around the country. From 1949 to 1969 the Association grew and generated a vast collection of historical records.
Minutes of the September 1, 1969, ASA Council meeting report that a proposal was made to establish an Archives of American Sociology. "This proposal was received as a communication to Council and placed on the record." (American Sociological Review, Feb. 1970, p. 59) In the years that followed, the Association researched options and looked for a home for its historical records.
In 1983, approximately 60 file cabinet drawers of the early records of the American Sociological Association were given to the Library of Congress (LOC) by the Association for safekeeping. Additional records were forwarded to the Library of Congress in 1986 and 1987.
At the peak of the collection, the Library of Congress presently held approximately 57,900 ASA items, occupying 77.2 linear feet of shelf space. The materials held by the Library of Congress covered the period 1931 through 1986, with the bulk of the materials covering 1950 through 1979.
On January 23, 1992, the Library of Congress wrote to the ASA Executive Officer to report that the library had decided that it could no longer devote its limited staff and storage facilities to the records of the ASA. Council formed an Archives Committee and charged them with identifying an alternative means to archive ASA records.
On August 22, 1995, Council voted to authorize the Executive Officer to reach an agreement with the Pennsylvania State University to establish the American Sociological Association Archive according to the general terms in the Draft Memorandum of Understanding, with the continued advice of the ASA Archive Committee and ASA legal counsel.
On January 23, 1997, a "Memorandum of Understanding and Deed of Gift" was signed to establish an ASA Archive at Pennsylvania State University. In late 2000, approximately 300 boxes of material were shipped to Penn State as the basis of the ASA archives.
In 2004, the temporarily dormant archiving process was re-engaged with active consultation between ASA and Penn State. The Library of Congress records were moved to the ASA Archives at Penn State. Additional materials from the ASA Central Office are transferred to Penn State on an ongoing basis. Ultimately a complete inventory of archival records will be created and posted on the ASA website.

Burnett tips cap to longtime pal Beckett
Phillies right-hander appreciates magnitude of former teammate's no-hitter
PHILADELPHIA -- Phillies right-hander A.J. Burnett and Dodgers right-hander Josh Beckett are longtime friends, having won a World Series championship together with the Florida Marlins in 2003.
But that does not mean Burnett wanted this to happen on Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park.
Beckett threw a no-hitter against the Phillies in a 6-0 victory. It dropped the Phillies, who have been shut out five times in their last 10 games at home, to 21-26.
"It was pretty cool to throw a no-hitter, but you never want to see it done against your team," Burnett said. "He was [getting] strike one from the get-go. Overall, I think the way he attacked our hitters a little more aggressively and got ahead more was the key."
Burnett joined the Marlins with a Feb. 6, 1998, trade from the Mets that sent Burnett, Rob Stratton and Jesus Sanchez to the Marlins for Al Leiter and Ralph Milliard. Beckett joined the Marlins as the second overall pick in the 1999 First-Year Player Draft.
The pair remained with the Marlins through 2005.
"Today is his day," said Burnett, who tossed a no-hitter of his own against the Padres on May 12, 2001. "You tip your hat to the man. He was able to make pitches throughout the whole ballgame. Offspeed, behind in the count -- what was good for him today was he was able to throw his changeup and his hook for strikes in fastball counts. You know who you're going up against. You know it's going to be a battle from the get-go. You just want to do your best to match him pitch for pitch."
Burnett allowed 11 hits, six runs (four earned) and one walk while striking out three in seven innings. He was not happy with his performance, which might be one reason he did not want to answer endless questions about his friend having just no-hit his team.
"Is this a Josh interview or is this an A.J. Burnett interview?" Burnett said. "Just wondering."
Burnett wasn't alone with his frustrations. Chase Utley and Ryan Howard left the Phillies' clubhouse quickly. Jimmy Rollins offered only two sentences on Beckett's performance, saying, "He was good. There's no more to be said."
"It's frustrating, but you have to tip your hat to Beckett," Ben Revere said. "He pitched a heck of a game. He was hitting his spots, painting the corners. He mixed in his curveball and changeup well. It was one of those days. You tip your hat to him."

I have 40 document library lists and I have to change the default document content type for these document libraries.
In UI, this is possible by
- On the document library, go to Settings > Document Library Settings
- Under
content typeheading, select
Change new button order and default content type
- Move the desired document content type on first order, making it the default content type.
Programatically, so far I got document library instance as
SPList, casted to
SPDocumentLibrary, then pull the content type through the
ContentTypes property. However, I couldn't see any property or method in the document library or content type that will do what I need.
A sample code or a reference will be greatly appreciated ;-).
