The comedian Ed McMahon once said "God invented whiskey to prevent the Irish from ruling the world". Round these parts, we take that as a compliment
Some drinks are easy to trace. Tea comes from leaves; picked and dried on vast plantations. Wine brings to mind dry, crumbling soil, big fat grapes hanging heavy on the vine, and we're told as children that milk makes its way to breakfast from generous herds that roam grassy plains.
Whiskey, though, is where the mystery lies.
The Water of Life
At the back of most of our minds, there are hints of how uisce beatha (the Water of Life) begins its journey to our glass. There's something vague about oats, a nagging image of big copper vats, and that cosy scene in a dimly lit cellar where wooden casks collect dust and barely balance on each other.
Outside of those snapshots, we're in the dark.
The liquid scientists at a certain Westmeath distillery are the light.
For a distillery that claims to be the oldest of its kind in the country, you'd imagine that history is an important word at Kilbeggan. And you'd be right.
A sip of the past
Some of the "big copper pots" (pot stills) have been working here for 180 years. The mill wheel, brought back to its former glory just last year, is a slow spinning Catherine wheel of red; swooping and sloshing into a foaming Brosna River. In 2017, the drink itself will have been in production for 260 years.
It's rare that you get to taste something that has taken over two-and-a-half centuries to perfect.
A word of advice for that first sip – let it linger.

Taste test
Rachel Quinn at Kilbeggan Distillery has a useful metaphor to describe the drink that has made the town a place of liquid pilgrimage.
"Like most Irish people, Kilbeggan is easygoing and approachable, but with its own distinctive style."
There you have a clue to the charm of whiskey – it has a character.
This isn't a mouthful of mass-produced plonk; hands have felt the barley, noses have been lowered into the pot. Today's Kilbeggan has reached us through years of dedication.
"On the nose, it's clean, fresh, hints of citrus, honey, lemon - a little grainy," explains Rachel. "To taste, it has a traditional smooth Irish whiskey flavour, the smoothness as it goes down the throat and all of the flavours you get on the nose. And the finish... long, smooth and satisfying."
The great debate
Football, the weather, hurling, politics, TV, the weather again – there's plenty to debate at the pub. One particular topic of conversation has endured over generations: Is adding water to whiskey sacrilege or sense?
While we have Rachel's attention, we dare to ask:
"Yes, there's much debate on this. As far as we are concerned, it's a complete personal preference! Our Master Distillery Noel Sweeney enjoys his Kilbeggan with a little water, as he says a little water helps to open the nose of the whiskey."
It will take another 250 years to find an end to that particular debate.
If it does, we reckon Kilbeggan's wheel will still be turning.
Whiskey Chasers
Where else on the island of Ireland can you follow your nose and find whiskey? Here's where:
Bushmills Whiskey Distillery, County Antrim
A home to allied soldiers during WWII and offering accommodation that is the very definition of traditional, a tumbler of whiskey and a turf fire in this place is the perfect way to top off a day on the Causeway Coast. Oh, and the distillery here is over 400 years old.
The Jameson Whiskey experience Midleton, County Cork and Dublin City
Jamseson is a byword for great Irish whiskey and the same is to be said of their distillery tours. In their Dublin home (closed until March 2017 for refurbishment), the tours end with a selection of whiskey cocktails, while in Cork you get the full package of singers, dancers and late night craic (they make a wicked Irish Coffee in the Malt House there).

Robert Bourget's training as a Chef began as an apprentice, in a small village in Provence. After completing his apprentisage he gained respect as a sous Chef, Saucier and Chef in renowned restaurants on the RivieraĀand fancy resorts in the French Alps. (Palm Beach Casino in Cannes, Le Mont D'Arbois in Megeve). In the lateĀ1960's Robert Bourget moved to the East Coast where he worked as a Chef at La Petite Marmite and The Treasure Chest in New York. In 1978, Robert moved to Los Angeles and worked as a Chef at St. Germain, The Promenade, and as the Executive Chef ofĀĀL'Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills (1986-1991).
Robert along with his entrepreneurial wife Teresa Bourget opened Le Petit Cafe in 1994. The restaurant is currently owned and operated by father and daughter team Robert Bourget and Magali Bourget.
Miguel discovered his talent working in various restaurants throughout Los Angeles, and learned his trait alongside famous chef Claude Alvriy (owner of Le Chardonnay). He has been at Le Petit Cafe since 1996 and is heavily in charge of the kitchen. He prides himself on making all his sauces, dressings, soups and stocks from scratch.ĀMiguel's priority is making everything classically. He does not believe in pre-cooking. Everything he prepares is "a la minute" as opposed to saving time and pre-cooking meats, fishes, pastas etc. Miguel is refined, picky and a perfectionist when it comes to the quality and taste of his work.

... music seems to help stimulate that creative process. I mean it's not that I can't work without music, I can, it's just that it seems to help me to really focus on what I'm doing, without having to think about what I'm doing, or even about how I am doing it - it's all a bit of a Zen thing I suppose, and I just wondered if anyone else did the same thing and it seems as though there are more than a few that do.Do people ever ask you how you worked a particular image and the steps that you took to complete it, and you think to yourself 'you know what, I don't really know, I just sort of did it and here's the result', ..
I have a music degree and have directed orchestras and bands as well as playing french horn professionally for 40 years. This may seem strange to many of you but I don't listen to any music when doing any other work. I cannot concentrate on anything else when music is playing. I simply cannot help myself, when music plays, I listen - to the detriment of most anything else. I rarely even play music when driving. When I play music, I stop and listen.
BTW, I have come to love Spotify. For $5/month, you can listen to a vast selection of music without commercial interruptions.
What do you think of Grooveshark?
I am not aware of Grooveshark? How does it differ from Spotify?Edit: I just checked out Grooveshark. It is a dwarf compared to Spotify, at least in terms of classical music. Mostly, Grooveshark has excerpts and a few albums of any given piece, while Spotify has a huge selection of complete works. I don't know if Grooveshark is commercial-free or whether you have to buy a subscription to be spared obnoxious advertising. Rob
None whatsoever... I find it immensely distracting...however I take regular breaks from the computer and have a grand piano downstairs :-)What gets played really does depend on how I feel, I find the very definite change most refreshing
I guess I'm boring - Smooth Jazz. The main reason is that it won't take my mind off my images by listening to lyrics. It's like having white noise that masks other interruptions.Mark

7 Ways to Improve Your Self-Confidence
Christine Arylo | Divine Caroline
November 01, 2010
We live in a time when we are constantly bombarded with images, ideas, and sound bytes that tell us who we should be, could be, and ought to be. Unless you live in a cave, you can't escape their massive barrage, and let's face it, even from a cave you could probably still get text messages.
Think of all you see in a day … images and words of what you should look like, should have, and ought to measure up to, all pointing to one main message: "You are not enough." It's enough to make your head spin and throw even the most self-assured person off center. Add in a few difficult life events—a breakup, a job loss, a pay cut—and you could end up with a Hiroshima to your self-confidence.
Unless that is, you have built up your self-confidence muscles. Just like training for a marathon and building physical muscles, to be a successful, happy, and confident person, you must work out your mental and emotional muscles regularly.
You wouldn't go to the gym to start training your physical muscles the day before a marathon, would you? No way! You'd peril on the pavement. So why would the marathon of your life be any different? It's not.
Put these seven tips into practice daily and you will develop the confidence and conviction that you can do anything … no matter what the outside world is telling you:
1. Stop Worrying About What Others Think—Trust Yourself
You can't be responsible for how everyone else thinks about how you live your life, so stop worrying about how your family, partner, and friends will react to your choices and start getting real about how you feel about your life. Act from what you think is right for you. We always know what the best action is to take for ourselves, when we slow down enough to listen to our inner wisdom. It's just not always easy to slow down or to trust our intuition. Be committed to trusting yourself, even when it's scary, and even when others disagree.
2. Become Best Buds with Your Intuition
Inside of you is the best life and decision-making compass ever—your intuition. It always communicates what is best for you, but you have to be listening, and you have to trust its advice. Just like a best friend, if you're not calling, it will stop trying to contact you. If you keep asking for advice but don't take it, it will stop trying to help. Start listening for the communication cues of your intuition—through words you hear, images you see, feelings you have, and things you just know. Act based on what your intuition tells you and you will start to trust yourself more, and build more self-confidence in the process.
3. Know What Makes You Unique
Every person, including you, was born with a set of unique gifts, talents, and inclinations that they are naturally good at, more so than the average person. When you find these gifts and use them, your confidence, success, and happiness increases. Think Tiger Woods. Born to golf. No matter how much you practiced, you'd never be as great as him; he has a gift. You have gifts too. Ask the people that know you the best, "What are my gifts?" Take notice of the compliments you receive, especially ones you find hard to accept. Make a list of your gifts and start putting time, energy, and money there.

Once a messaging application is deployed and running, it is important to establish baseline use patterns. You want to know when peak demand occurs and you want to be able to quantify that demand. For example, demand normally fluctuates by number of end users, activity levels, time of day, or all of these.
To establish baseline use patterns you need to monitor your message service over an extended period of time, looking at data such as the following:
Number of connections
Number of messages stored in the broker (or in particular physical destinations)
Message flows into and out of a broker (or particular physical destinations)
Numbers of active consumers
You can also use average and peak values provided in metrics data.
It is important to check these baseline metrics against design expectations. By doing so, you are checking that client code is behaving properly: for example, that connections are not being left open or that consumed messages are not being left unacknowledged. These coding errors consume broker resources and could significantly affect performance.
The base-line use patterns help you determine how to tune your system for optimal performance. For example:
If one physical destination is used significantly more than others, you might want to set higher message memory limits on that physical destination than on others, or to adjust limit behaviors accordingly.
If the number of connections needed is significantly greater than allowed by the maximum thread pool size, you might want to increase the thread pool size or adopt a shared thread model.
If peak message flows are substantially greater than average flows, that might influence the limit behaviors you employ when memory runs low.
In general, the more you know about use patterns, the better you are able to tune your system to those patterns and to plan for future needs.

Defensive players frequently get fined for hits on quarterbacks, so it's only fair that when a quarterback commits a personal foul against a defensive player, he gets fined, too.
That's what happened to Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck, who on Sunday was flagged for a horse-collar tackle on Bears cornerback Kelvin Hayden after Hayden scooped up a fumble and was running toward the end zone. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the NFL has fined Hasselbeck $15,750 for that horse-collar tackle.
A $15,750 fine for a horse-collar tackle is the normal punishment, and quarterbacks aren't exempt from the rules, so this comes as no surprise. Hasselbeck made his tackle at the Titans' 4-yard line, the penalty moved the ball up to the 2-yard line, and two plays later the Bears scored their final touchdown of the game to take a 51-12 lead.

How Writers Build Authenticity Into Diverse Worlds | New York Comic Con 2018
Diversity and representation had never been more important in Science fiction and fantasy. In the era of #OwnVoices, how do writers craft sci-fi or fantasy stories using their own experience to create diverse and compelling worlds? Featuring authors Marlon James, Tochi Onyebuchi, Maura Milan, Julie Kagawa, Sam J. Miller, and moderated by Ali T. Kokmen.
Michael Ondaatje on "Warlight: A Novel" at the 2018 Miami Book Fair
Michael Ondaatje on "Warlight: A Novel" at the 2018 Miami Book Fair interviewed by Jeffrey Brown.
From the internationally acclaimed, best-selling author of The English Patient: a mesmerizing new novel that tells a dramatic story set in the decade after World War II through the lives of a small group of unexpected characters and two teenagers whose lives are indelibly shaped by their unwitting involvement.
In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself—shadowed and luminous at once—we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey—through facts, recollection, and imagination—that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time.
Andrew Sean Greer: 2018 National Book Festival

His new novel is "Less" (Lee Boudreaux), winner of the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Greer lives in San Francisco. He has traveled to all of the locations in this novel, but he is only big in Italy.
Nomi Prins: "Collusion: How Central Bankers Rigged the World" | Talks at Google
From a former Wall Street insider and author of All the Presidents' Bankers, a searing exposé of the collusion between public and private banks as they seek to control global markets and dictate economic policy. Central banks and institutions like the IMF and the World Bank are overstepping the boundaries of their mandates by using the flow of money to control global markets and dictate economic policy both at the domestic and global level. These public institutions have become so dependent on funding from private banking and the revolving door between the two worlds is so smooth that public and private banks are effectively working toward the same goals.
Gerhard Steidl & Orhan Pamuk
Join us for an event with the iconic publishing company STEIDL to celebrate a series of book launches. The evening features works from Orhan Pamuk, Martin Schoeller, Karine Laval, Lawrence Schwartzwald, and Tod Papageorge, with an introduction by Gerhard Steidl.
Orhan Pamuk 'Balkon' - In the winter of 2011 Nobel-Prize-winning Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk took 8,500 color photographs from his balcony with its panoramic view of Istanbul, the entrance of the Bosphorus, the old town, the Asian and European sides of the city, the surrounding hills, and the distant islands and mountains. Sometimes he would leave his writing desk and follow the movements of the boats as they passed in front of his apartment and sailed far away.
Ralph Gibson & Laurie Anderson | Self-Exposure
Self-Exposure is the autobiography of celebrated American art photographer Ralph Gibson. With his 80th birthday on the horizon in January 2019 and a career spanning over 50 years, Gibson is at a point of reflection in his life and work and decided to put pen to paper.
Writing in candid prose, Gibson takes the reader through his life and career from his earliest memories of growing up in California (the son of a Hollywood director, Gibson's childhood is touched by the old glamour of the silver screen: the likes of Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth make appearances) to his time in the navy and his continuous love affair with photography.
Gibson's memories are filled with rich characters and period details. Often moving, the narratives of his at times troublesome childhood provide a rich background to the charismatic artist Gibson has become. Gibson covers a range of topics such as music, Catholicism, his wife, Mary Jane, and a long line of fellow artists and photographers such as Dorothea Lange and Robert Frank. His ruminations on his life so far display a deep, thoughtful understanding and self-awareness that make this book a fascinating read in itself as well as an illuminating companion to his work.
What emerges is an insight into the mind of an incredible, highly decorated artist. Evocatively illustrated, Self-Exposure presents Gibson's life story alongside his photographic work. Designed and produced in close collaboration with Gibson, this large-format publication—as much a biography as it is an artist's book—is Gibson's most personal book to date.
Join us as Ralph shares his latest work with fellow artist Laurie Anderson.
Ralph Gibson was born in Los Angeles in 1939. In 1956 he enlisted in the navy, where he began studying photography. His work is widely exhibited and held in public collections around the world, such as the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
Laurie Anderson is a American avant-garde artist, composer, musician and film director whose work spans performance art, pop music, and multimedia projects. Initially trained in violin and sculpting, Anderson pursued a variety of performance art projects in New York during the 1970s, focusing particularly on language, technology, and visual imagery.
RO Kwon on "The Incendiaries" at the 2018 Miami Book Fair
RO Kwon on "The Incendiaries" at the 2018 Miami Book Fair interview by Rich Fahle.
"Radiant...A dark, absorbing story of how first love can be as intoxicating and dangerous as religious fundamentalism." —New York Times Book Review
A powerful, darkly glittering novel of violence, love, faith, and loss, as a young woman at an elite American university is drawn into a cult's acts of terrorism.
Phoebe Lin and Will Kendall meet in their first month at prestigious Edwards University. Phoebe is a glamorous girl who doesn't tell anyone she blames herself for her mother's recent death. Will is a misfit scholarship boy who transfers to Edwards from Bible college, waiting tables to get by. What he knows for sure is that he loves Phoebe.
Grieving and guilt-ridden, Phoebe is drawn into a secretive cult founded by a charismatic former student with an enigmatic past. When the group commits a violent act in the name of faith, Will finds himself struggling to confront a new version of the fanaticism he's worked so hard to escape. Haunting and intense, The Incendiaries is a fractured love story that explores what can befall those who lose what they love most.
Indigenous Writers' Gathering

Kiese Laymon | Heavy: An American Memoir
Join us as Kiese Laymon shares his highly-anticipated forthcoming book Heavy: An American Memoir.
It's a searing memoir that explores what the weight of a lifetime of secrets, lies, and deception does to a black body, a black family, and a nation teetering on the brink of moral collapse.
With a commitment to facing hard truths, Heavy charts Laymon's early experiences of sexual violence and toxic masculinity growing up in Jackson, Mississippi; his complex and often painful relationship to his brilliant mother; first-hand experiences with racism in academia; and the physical manifestations of trauma, including obesity, anorexia, and gambling addiction, on his own body.
Kiese Laymon is a black southern writer, born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. Laymon attended Millsaps College and Jackson State University before graduating from Oberlin College. He earned an MFA in Fiction from Indiana University. Laymon is currently a Professor of English and Creative Writing at the University of Mississippi.

Laymon has written for numerous publications including New York Times, NPR, Los Angeles Times, Esquire, The Guardian, McSweeneys, Colorlines, The Best American Series, Ebony and many others. He is a contributing editor of Oxford American.
Tim Wu + Zephyr Teachout | The Curse of Bigness
Tim Wu and Zephyr Teachout discuss Wu's new book "The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age."
We live in an "oligopoly age" where many industries are controlled by just a few firms — big banks, big pharma, big tech. Bigness has become too much of a drain on the nation's economy, and too far a deviation from the type of open capitalism that has, at times, created a broad-based wealth and promised a sense of opportunity to every generation. There is a good reason to believe that we once again face the "Curse of Bigness," in the phrase used by Justice Louis Brandeis, to describe the challenges confronting the United States a century ago. Columbia law professor Tim Wu tells the story of what went wrong, and calls for recovering the lost tenets of trustbusters as part of a broader revival of American progressive ideas in a new age of extreme economic inequality.
Joining Tim in conversation will be attorney, activist, and Fordham Law professor Zephyr Teachout, author of "Corruption in America: From Benjamin Franklin's Snuff Box to Citizens United."
Lisa Brennan-Jobs: "Small Fry" | Talks at Google
Lisa Brennan-Jobs reads from and discusses her new memoir, "Small Fry," a poignant coming-of-age story about growing up in Silicon Valley that chronicles her relationship with her father, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.

*Due to Leaf Aptus S & Aptus II not communicating within the specified protocol the H4X currently does not function with these two digital back models. Our investigations have concluded that this is due to parts of the communication from the digital back not being within specification, causing a fault condition and a lock-up of the camera body and digital back. The H4X platform is more accurate and sensitive and therefore detects the signals from the digital back as outside of specification.All technical information has been passed on to Leaf and we are at their disposal to help rectify the problem. At present time we have not had any response from Leaf and therefore are not in a position to say when this will work.
HiWe have heard about this and it seem that the H4x communication does not match the communication from a H1 or H2 even if Hasselblad claims it does (Which you can see yourself since the back works on a H1)Basically the only thing we can hope for fixes this problem through a firmware fix for the body.
So, it is official. For anyone who owns a Leaf back prior to the Aptus II, Ziv Argov, the Director of Marketing and Product management has finally admitted, after doing a dance around my questions about my Aptus 75S not working on the Hasselblad H4X, that they (LEAF) will not be fixing the issues that exist with the firmware and the communication between older Leaf backs and the H4X camera. Ever. I quote " With the life cycle of an electronic device there's a point where its development has to stop and in the case of the Aptus 75S (which is what I understand you own) this happened back in 2008 when the Aptus-II was introduced. The new backs (Credo 40, 60 & 80) are supported, but also plan to enable support for the prior 3 released backs (aptus II)'
Under supported cameras:Hasselblad: V-series (except for 200 and 2000 models), H1, H2
Take into account that a women will not be able to handheld the Mamiya DF camera for more than 60 seconds.The Mamiya with two sets of batteries, lens and digital back is much heavier than a complete H4D camera with a lens of similar focal length.Your choice is easy, if you want to share equipment with another photographer.
The H4x is a very nice body and works well with the Credo/IQ series, but it is very expensive to get into compared to the DF+ bundles that are being offered with digital back purchases
Thought about Rolleiflex Hy6 or Pentax 645D? Both are great systems as well. The Pentax is very well integrated, reasonably priced, and has a mix of nice older lenses and some outstanding new lenses. There is a new model Hy6, it will allow to use the new Leaf Credo backs, and has an unparalleled set of lenses. Just a thought.
I think you should be thankful that this forum is very male dominated, but still something to consider.
I seriously doubt that H are more expensive. Lance what's the price of that new DF+ body again? I have found that Hasselblad is offering some great deals. I have already too many cameras, but was tempted by the end of year deals Hasselblad is making on their CPO store. Some camera+back+lens deals under $10k. btw - I am totally biased so my opinion is only that of myself, so best to demo them both for yourself. In my case, using the DF for a week last year firmed up my opinion as I literally had nothing positive to say for the camera after using it. I like the phase backs and use a Leaf back. One big factor besides the camera (and lens choice) is the software, Phocus and Capture One, as that is part of the equation. I use both regularly as I still feel they are better than LR4 and while I get around in both ok, I think C1 is easier.
Lance,You are up late! Thanks for the info. I am surprised to find out that the Hy6/AFi is actually cheaper than either DF or H4 if bought directly from the factory. Wow! Most of the kits you'll see include a film back but it's not necessary to order it with that.

The Supreme Court's Lesson on Labeling
In Pom Wonderful v. Coca-Cola, the court encourages 'policing' of labels by competitors.
Jun 24, 2014
MinuteMaid Pomegranate Blue The U.S. Supreme Court's unanimous ruling on June 12 in favor of Pom Wonderful has important implications for food processors. Until now, compliance with FDA labeling regulations generally meant a product was immune from a claim that its labeling is deceptive or misleading with respect to those aspects of the label sanctioned by FDA regulations.Read More

Greetings underlings! Err, I mean, loyal readers. Well, hopefully loyal. Actually, I'd be happy if you just stumbled across me now. Whoever you are, it's no secret that I'm ambitious, probably to a fault. So each year I set a few goals (not resolutions) and then work hard at reaching them, beating them into submission and consuming them like a binge eating Galactus (the big purple world eating dude with the multiverse's loudest helmet—seriously, what's up with that helmet?). The last few years I've taken a morsel of time to look back at the previous year and fill you in on what it to come.
2013, much like 2011, was a year of unchecked ambition. I published a stupid amount of books.

Emergency Pumping Prevents Sinking of Battleship Texas
A rag and a backup pump kept the storied battleship Texas from sinking in its mooring at San Jacinto Battleground State Historic Site over the weekend, according to state park officials.
"This worrisome incident, which we fortunately succeeded in bringing under control, underscores the importance of moving forward rapidly with plans to place the Texas in a dry-berth," said Carter Smith, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department executive director. "I'm just glad our folks at the park showed a lot of resourcefulness in preventing the situation from getting out of hand."
The 1914-vintage battleship, a veteran of both world wars, is the last of its kind. She's been moored at the San Jacinto Battleground since 1948. Her hull was last repaired in the late 1980s and has since become dangerously weakened from years of exposure to the brackish water of the Houston Ship Channel.
Last Thursday, according to park manager Andy Smith, a park employee leaving for the day noticed that the ship appeared to be sitting a bit lower in the water than normal. When he returned to work the next morning, the ship was noticeably lower. In fact, the lower portion of the collar of one of the monopiles attached to the vessel was about a foot under water, meaning the ship had sunk some two to three feet overnight.
When park staff checked below deck, they discovered a previously unknown leak on the starboard side of the ship, near the waterline in the vicinity of frame 80. Water also was found building up in the aft steering compartment of the ship.
A pump in that compartment had burned out, according to the park manager, causing the ship to take on more water than normal. That, in turn, pulled a seam separation below the water line, in effect causing another leak. The broken pump was replaced with a backup, and other pumps were employed.
By the end of the day Saturday, some 105,000 gallons of water had been pumped from the ship, which rose to its normal level. As a temporary fix, a rag was stuffed in the starboard leak, which is now above the waterline.
"Currently, a rag and pumps are keeping her afloat," said Justin Rhodes, regional director of the area that includes the San Jacinto site. "The sooner we get her out of the water, the better."
In 2007, as part of Proposition 4, voters approved a bond package that included $25 million to dry-berth the battleship. The Battleship Texas Foundation will be providing another $4 million. And last March, the Legislative Budget Board approved the sale of bonds "contingent on the ship being dry berthed in its current location."
Plans are in progress to dry-berth the ship. TPWD recently selected an engineering firm to design the dry berth and is currently negotiating design fees. After that, the team will develop a project plan and construction schedule. Current plans are to complete the dry-berth by 2014, the centennial of the ship's commissioning.
"Given what happened recently, we are eager to proceed with this project," Carter Smith said. "We're not going to let the passage of time do what two world wars could not do, which is scuttle the Battleship Texas."

The Perennial Crisis in Governance
What do we learn from the troubles of Goldman Sachs, British Petroleum, Enron, Satyam, and other modern day corporations? These are the most sophisticated corporations ever formed yet victims of their own governance failures.
Public sector governance problems are known from time immemorial. The first description of governance problems of the state in the form of bribery, corruption, and other mis-governance is attributed to Patanjali who lived in India around 53 A.D. Corporate governance problems are relatively recent. With the industrial revolution came the need for a corporation to organize and manage capital and labor. The Board of Directors by law is given the full authority in a corporation. In the initial days of industrialization, the family-owned corporations had family members on its Board. However, over time as the corporations became more complex, the management team of chief executive officers and financial officers have managed to gradually erode the power of the Board and made the Board an 'overseer.' This is the problem of principal-agent, where the agent (management team) usurps power from the principal (Board of directors and share holders). Even this function of overseeing has been diluted because of complexity of business transactions and provision of inadequate and often 'obfuscating' information by the managers. In addition, more and more Boards are stacked with 'insiders and friends.' As a result, we have reached a stage in several 'big and small' corporations where there is a crisis in corporate governance. The recent financial crisis is but one manifestation of this corporate crisis, where complexity is deliberately created under the name of financial innovation, just to deliberately obfuscate information to Board of directors, stakeholders and public at large.
The financial crisis has unveiled not only the complexity of mortgage backed securities and credit default swaps but the opaqueness of information and greater ability of banks and financial firms to obscure developing problems and taking of exorbitant risks due to the lack of internal controls, and due to 'greed and fear' and destabilize the entire financial and economic world. Boards have to re-assert their authority and focus on 'managing the managers' and assessing and managing risks to the corporations, share holders and general public. The shadow financial system that was developed prior to the recent financial crisis in US is an extreme example of how to obscure risks, with the alleged consent of internationally-reputed accountancy firms and credit ratings agencies.
The crisis in corporate governance is compounded by the public sector governance, where politicians and bureaucrats 'kow tow' to the large corporations. How else can one explain, the former US Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, calling his former colleagues from Goldman Sachs, three times more often in the days prior to the run-up to the collapse of the Lehman Brothers in September 2008, which triggered a financial meltdown first in US and later in Europe. How else can one explain, the rush to convert investment banks to commercial banks in a matter of hours, so as to facilitate these large investment banks to access the large 'bailout' facilities from the US federal Reserve and US Government at little or no cost to these corporations?
State capture could be defined as the efforts of affluent individuals or groups, private firms, or oligarchs, to shape the laws, public policies, rules and regulations of the state to their own advantage. This 'shaping' may be done not only by the private firms or richer elites (top 20% on the income distribution scale) but in some countries by ethnic groups or powerful economic groups. As such, to fully understand the dynamics of state capture, the analysis must be based on winners and losers not only in terms of income groups but also in terms of powerful groups and vested interests, including bureaucracy. In other words, state capture and re-distributive conflicts are part of the same spectrum of good-to-bad governance. In almost all the countries this argument of state capture by a small group of corporations or elites appears to hold because these elites have been colluding with politicians and with the help of bureaucracy extracting rents rather than investing in productive activities (which Eifert et al 2006 call 'low-level political equilibrium'). The only difference in 'weak states' of several low-income countries is that private sector is uncertain that the state being weak can ensure 'rents extraction' and therefore the private sector in such countries will try and avoid tax payments and do not undertake investment (as the future is uncertain), In contrast, stronger states, despite rhetoric of 'limited government' and 'constrained executive' such as in OECD countries, tend to have higher revenue/GDP ratios and invest in public goods because elites in these countries are confident that rents can accrue to them now and in the future. Private investment and growth is higher in stronger states that in weaker states and garnering of subsidies by the elites is relatively lower.
Countries that are 'highly captured' may exhibit capture of all or most institutions, such as parliament, political parties, the executives including ministries and public enterprises, judicial courts, and bureaucrats. The capture may take place jointly or separately depending upon the economic interests of the powerful groups or elites. Firms and groups that cannot compete with favored-firms or accommodated-groups, will go under or have no choice but to resort to 'informality' or 'unofficialdom' and 'shadow financial system'. By choosing to be in the 'shadows', these informal enterprises are able to circumvent government regulations relating to property rights, labor laws such as minimum wages and workers' safety restrictions, environmental regulation, price controls, and licensing, as well as avoid taxes and fees. To avoid the costs arising from detection and punishment for operating informally (usually illegally), the big corporations and informal enterprises operate through 'trust' in the form of transactions, based on reputation, amongst closed networks of customers and suppliers.
The above discussion provides a brief overview on state capture and the close association between public and private sectors, the ongoing collusion and obfuscation by both the sectors in developed and developing countries. What are the possible solutions? Stay tuned!

Hello! I will be graduating from Cornell University with a degree in Computer Science and Physics this may and I have been seriously considering joining the Navy as a IW officer. I have some questions about it and I was hoping someone could help me out!
I have talked to a recruiter about the IW role (is this the same and Cryptologic Warfare?) and he says that I require a couple of years of experience before I can even apply, instead he said the program for me would be the SWO-IW position. I browsed the forum and it seems that people out of college are able to apply for the IW role, so Im not sure what to believe. Can someone clear this up for me?
What are my chances of getting into IW? My GPA is good (3.7) and I've had some past internship experiences, however they were not related to cyber. What other aspect do they look for in this role?
What is life like for an IW officer during on-shore during and sea duty?
Thanks in advanced for your help!

Histamine Blood Test - More Information
The histamine test, also known as a histamine lab test and histamine level test, measures the plasma histamine blood level.
Histamine is an important molecule in the body that helps with inflammation and gut mobility. Additionally, histamine is used as a neurotransmitter in parts of the nervous system. Released by mast cells and basophils in the immune system, histamine is a major part of the immune response to elements perceived as foreign by the body. When mast cells and basophils are triggered by the presence of a class of antibodies known as IgE antibodies, they release histamine to start various cascades in the immune system to protect the body.
Histamine release is important in the allergic response. Histamine causes blood vessels to open and increases space in capillaries, leading to fluid shifts that cause the symptoms of itchy, watery eyes, sneezing, nasal congestion and a runny nose that is often seen in an allergic response. Histamine in the gastrointestinal tract is broken down by an enzyme called diamine oxidase (DAO). Low DAO levels have become of interest as far as the concept of histamine intolerance.

Robert Creeley
Robert Creeley was born in Arlington, Massachusetts, on May 21, 1926. He attended Harvard University from 1943 to 1946, taking time out from 1944 to 1945 to work for the American Field Service in Burma and India. In 1946 he published his first poem, in the Harvard magazine Wake.
In 1949 he began corresponding with William Carlos Williams and Ezra Pound. The following year he became acquainted with the poet Charles Olson. In 1954, as rector of Black Mountain College (an experimental arts college in North Carolina), Olson invited Creeley to join the faculty and to edit the Black Mountain Review. In 1960 Creeley received a master's degree from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque.
Through the Black Mountain Review and his own critical writings, Creeley helped to define an emerging counter-tradition to the literary establishment—a postwar poetry originating with Pound, Williams, and Zukofsky and expanding through the lives and works of Olson, Robert Duncan, Allen Ginsberg, Denise Levertov, Edward Dorn, and others.
Creeley published more than sixty books of poetry in the United States and abroad, including If I Were Writing This (New Directions, 2003), Just in Time: Poems 1984-1994 (New Directions, 2001), Life & Death (New Directions, 1998), Echoes (New Directions, 1994), Selected Poems 1945-1990 (University of California Press, 1991), Memory Gardens (Marion Boyars Publishing, 1986), Mirrors (New Directions, 1983), The Collected Poems of Robert Creeley, 1945-1975 (University of California Press, 1982), Later (New Directions, 1979), The Finger (Black Sparrow Press, 1968), and For Love: Poems 1950-1960 (Scribner, 1962).
In a review of Life & Death, Forrest Gander wrote: "Robert Creeley has forged a signature style in American poetry, an idiosyncratic, highly elliptical, syntactical compression by which the character of his mind's concentrated and stumbling proposals might be expressed ... Reading his poems, we experience the gnash of arriving through feeling at thought and word."
He also published more than a dozen books of prose, essays, and interviews, including The Island (1963) and The Gold Diggers and Other Stories (1965). He edited such books as Charles Olson's Selected Poems (1993), The Essential Burns (1989), and Whitman: Selected Poems (1973).
Creeley's honors include the Lannan Lifetime Achievement Award, the Frost Medal, the Shelley Memorial Award, a National Endowment for the Arts grant, a Rockefeller Foundation grant, and fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation. He served as New York state poet laureate from 1989 to 1991 and as the Samuel P. Capen Professor of Poetry and Humanities at the State University of New York, Buffalo. He was elected a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets in 1999. On March 30, 2005, Creeley died at the age of 78.

Mistakes: They're what kids — even the famous ones — do.
When Justin Bieber rolled into Staples Center Tuesday night for the first of two shows, the Internet was still buzzing with video of his performance at Glendale, Ariz. For those who missed it, the teen idol got sick after a pre-show meal of spaghetti Bolognese washed down with whole milk.
The unplanned spectacle, endlessly replayed on YouTube, provided a valuable peek behind the teen-pop curtain, and reminded us in vivid detail that Bieber isn't just a global brand with a vast multimedia dominion. He's also an 18-year-old boy.
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber at Staples Center
By Tuesday's sold-out concert, the first of two at Staples, the curtain had been dutifully redrawn. Briskly paced and intricately choreographed, this high-tech pop production (with a mixture of live and prerecorded singing) emphasized the idea of Bieber over the real-life person; it merely reinforced established baseline notions: Cute face! Great hair! Nice voice!
Bieber's grand entrance seemed to promise an expansion of those themes. Following an introductory video in which he appeared to fly around the arena, the singer descended from above the stage attached to a pair of enormous steampunk-style wings. Then he and his eight-piece band launched into "All Around the World," the throbbing opener from this year's excellent "Believe," while a crew of dancers raced through the crowd hoisting flags from various countries, including Bieber's native Canada.
The moment was weirdly exciting — and excitingly weird, like the product of a teenager's comic-book imagination. He kept it up during the lovely "Catching Feelings," which at Staples became the basis for a bizarre outer-space mermaid situation.
PHOTOS: Unfortunately times pop meltdowns
From there, though, Tuesday's 90-minute show quickly flattened out, papering over Bieber's idiosyncrasies with hand-me-down set pieces such as the 1990s-era drill-team routine in "One Time" and the Motown-inspired shuffling that accompanied "Die in Your Arms."
Guest appearances by Jaden Smith and Carly Rae Jepsen (the latter of whom opened the concert) provided brief upticks in energy; they allowed Bieber the opportunity to interact with another human in real time. But neither left behind a lasting effect.
What made Bieber's cipher-like presence especially disappointing is how effectively he communicates via other channels: his songs, of course, but also his Twitter feed and his YouTube clips and the photographs taken by the kind of paparazzi he battled Tuesday in a video during "She Don't Like the Lights."
PHOTOS: Celebrities by the Times
In these and other venues Bieber projects a specifically lifelike persona: When Lizzie Widdicombe reported in the New Yorker recently that Bieber displayed some poor sportsmanship in a game of greenroom crotch-jab, the reader might've thought, Yeah, I can totally see that.
He's fully a 21st century creation — perhaps the pop idol most attuned to the age of social media — but onstage Bieber revealed only incidental glimpses of the kid within, as when he adjusted his skin-tight trousers following an acrobatic move or flashed an I-can't-help-it grin at the sound of fans cheering his exposed abdomen. Last weekend's vomiting incident served a similar function — however unpleasantly — at his Arizona show.
Bieber brought up his gastrointestinal troubles at Staples after a ho-hum acoustic medley he delivered atop a giant crane. He was telling the audience how he doesn't like doing interviews or photo shoots — that what he really cares about is performing for his fans.
"I'm not up here sick," he said. "I'm good!"
Then he did "Beauty and a Beat," a highlight from "Believe" about losing oneself in the music; Bieber actualized the concept by sitting down behind a drum set and bashing out a hectic solo. At the end of the song he kicked over the drums, explaining with a spray of little-boy petulance, "Sometimes I just want to be a rock star."
Sometimes, maybe — but here, at least, not often enough.

Emergency response
When children and families around the world are suffering through conflict, poverty and disaster, Mercy Corps is there to respond with lifesaving relief and long-term support.
We are on the ground in more than 40 countries, empowering people to survive crisis, build better lives and transform their communities for good. After an emergency, we work quickly to meet the urgent needs of survivors and give people the resources they need to build back even stronger.
Thanks to our global community of supporters and partners, we are able to help millions of families during their time of need — providing lifesaving assistance to Syrian refugees, reaching survivors after natural disasters like the earthquakes in Nepal, and distributing critical seeds and tools to displaced families in South Sudan.
Our response during and after emergencies ensures that people are empowered to strengthen their communities from within. Now, and for the future.

As the war in Syria continues with no end in sight, the resulting humanitarian crisis has left millions of children and families suffering the consequences. We're working to support some 2.5 million people affected by the crisis, including around 470,000 people inside Syria whom we provide with lifesaving food and relief every month.

In 2015, two powerful earthquakes killed thousands and devastated Nepal. Historic sites tumbled, roads were blocked by dangerous landslides, and thousands of homes were destroyed. Our team responded quickly to deliver emergency supplies to those in need, and now they are working hard to make sure that the people of Nepal recover.

Families in conflict
Ongoing conflict brings more than just violence: it can compromise local food supplies, drive families from their homes and leave entire communities devastated for years to come.
Our seasoned emergency responders work through conflict in places like Yemen, Gaza, Ukraine, Iraq, South Sudan and the Central African Republic to distribute critical supplies, protect families uprooted by ongoing violence, and help communities rebuild.

South Sudan has been in turmoil since political conflict erupted in 2013, just two years after the country gained its independence in 2011. Now, 1 in 3 people are displaced and millions are at risk of starvation. The ongoing conflict has thrown the country into chaos and devastated the economy and food supply.

In the Lake Chad Basin, drought and massive displacement due to violence from Boko Haram are converging to create a dire humanitarian crisis. In Nigeria alone, roughly 4.4 million people are in need of food assistance and many children are suffering from severe malnutrition. It's a complicated crisis, and we are still learning about the true consequences that this conflict will have on families in the areas where we work.

Baltimore rapper Rye Rye announced the birth of her second child, a boy, on social media sites this week.
"And he is OUTTTTTTTT! Omg I'm so happy..." she posted on Instagram at 2:25 a.m. Monday. "I'm done! My baby boy is here! Thanks everyone for the safe and best wishes."
Rye Rye did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The musician and dancer, who has collaborated with rapper M.I.A. and appeared in "21 Jump Street" last year, kept her pregnancy discretely hidden in baggy tops in posts on Instagram and Twitter until just a few days ago.
Earlier this week, Rye Rye, 22, posted selfies on Instagram in which a flowing lavender dress clung to her pregnant belly.
"Finally about to have my baby boy! In labor and I'm at 9cm ..one more cm to dilate and he'll be on his way woohoo!!! I'm super excited and exhausted hoping this go by quick!! Praying for a safe delivery and healthy little kid," she wrote.
The singer, whose given name is Ryeisha Berrain, kept up a busy schedule throughout her pregnancy, including a performance at Scapescape in Station North in late August.
Rye Rye's first child, a daughter named Kennidi, was born in 2009.

- Delhi v England XI, tour match, Kotla
Bell ton in vain as England slump to second defeat
England suffered their second successive defeat in a tour game as their bowlers failed to defend 295 against Delhi at the Kotla in seemingly bowling-friendly conditions.
The ineffectiveness of the bowlers against a side possessing only a couple of known players is a worrying sign for Ashley Giles, the coach, ahead of the first ODI that begins in three-days time on a likely flat-track in Rajkot.
Choosing to bat first, the England batting clicked after they had collapsed to 175 all out in the previous warm-up match. Ian Bell followed up his 91 against India A with a century that helped other players to attack around him and post a daunting 294 on the board. However, they were not prepared for a backlash from Shikhar Dhawan, the Delhi opener, whose aggressive hundred set the tone for the other batsmen as Delhi overhauled the target comfortably in the penultimate over.
While Bell's innings had been scratchy, Dhawan's was dominating right through. Whether it was Jade Dernbach, Stuart Meaker, Steven Finn or Chris Woakes, Dhawan played freely against them all. He drove majestically and was quick to pull anything short, the extra pace offered by the England bowlers suiting his strokeplay. When Meaker pitched short to him, he pulled one deep into the stands at midwicket for one of his three sixes.
Dhawan, who has been on the fringes of India selection for sometime, also staked his claim for the opener's role in the national XI. Virender Sehwag, India's regular opener has already been dropped and Gautam Gambhir's position at the top isn't any firmer.
His 100 came off 98 balls with a slog-swept six off James Tredwell. Dhawan also found solid support from 21-year-old batsman Milind Kumar, who remained unbeaten on 78.
The Delhi batsmen, though, were helped by some wayward bowling by the England bowlers, who were also a touch short throughout the innings. The seamers were taken for 188 runs in 30.3 overs on a track where the India and Pakistan fast bowlers found help a couple of days ago.
While the bowling attack suffered, England's experienced batsmen made most of their time in the middle. Apart from Bell, three other batsmen - Alastair Cook, Eoin Morgan and Craig Keiswetter - made useful contributions and got the much-needed batting practice ahead of the five-match series.
Bell, who opened the batting along with Cook, looked uncomfortable initially as the ball didn't come on to the bat and seamer Parwinder Awana troubled him with a tight line outside off. But he saw through the period by dropping the anchor at his end and letting Cook play aggressively. Cook, the England captain, was in good touch and two of his shots - a cover drive and a backfoot punch through cover-point - both off Awana stood out. He scored 44 before seamer Sumit Narwal breached his defence, but an opening stand of 70 had already given the visitors a good start.
Although Joe Root and Samit Patel missed out, Morgan and Kieswetter attacked in the latter half of the innings, scoring 52 and 41 respectively, to put up a strong total. The bowling today, however, let the advantage slip through.

Route 66, from Chicago to Los Angeles, 2006
in 2006, my partner Jay Adler, a writer and English professor, and I flew one way from Los Angeles to Chicago where we rented a car and drove the entire distance of Route 66. I shot this project with a 4x5 pinhole camera and used Polaroid 55 film (which has a negative and a postive and is now extinct.) Each of the states along Route 66 are pictured above.
This project was published in an eight-page spread in what would be the last issue of a wonderful magainze that hightlighted documentary photograpphy, Double Take, Fall/Winter 2007.
Here is Jay's lead to the article:
By A. Jay Adler:
Route 66 begins in the imagination. That there is a better place. That it lies in the westward distance. That every rock and tree round every road that bends delivers an undiscovered world. That lives, drawn to where the sun sets on what those wh live them never before have seen, can begin again. That the road is the way.
