Reporter Visits Ozarks to Uncover Story of International Fugitive
(Ozark, MO) -- The movie-like story of one of England's most famous bank heists may be nearing its close, with one of its last scenes playing out here in the Ozarks.
Edward John Maher, known as "Fast Eddie", was living, and hiding, in Ozark, according to authorities. Officers arrested the fugitive at his home.
The story is drawing in international attention.
KOLR10/KOZL met up with ITV Anglia reporter Malcolm Robertson, who traveled from England, chasing a story about the man on the run.
For two decades, what happened to "Fast Eddie" has been a mystery.
"This particular incident has huge significance for us because it was in 1993 that Eddie Maher went on the run after what seemed a very audacious crime in England," said Robertson.
According to Robertson, back then, Edward John Maher was working as a security guard. Now, investigators suspect him of driving off with an armored car in Suffolk, England, loaded with about $1.5 million. He later abandoned the truck in Felixstowe, a seaside town on the east coast of England.
"That's what makes it very interesting. This was a small town in England where crime doesn't happen often on this scale and for a million pounds in 1993 to go missing was a big crime," Robertson said. "And then for him to avoid capture for almost 20 years and then be found in a small town like Ozark. Its a remarkable story."
Maher was using the alias Michael Maher. He worked as a cable installer, that is until police uncovered his story.
"What we came here with was a blank piece of paper really," Robertson said. "We were optimistic we would speak with family and friends or hope to speak with them but its never that simple."
The crew spoke with a neighbor who said Maher was a nice guy who fit in well. Still, the neighbor was shocked at the situation, like other residents.
"I didn't see it coming. No. It was very out of character for this area," said Robert Curran, from Ozark.
Robertson says Maher and his family moved constantly, making stops across the Midwest, eventually spending the last five years in Ozark.
"I think police were always optimistic that they would find Eddie Maher and they always said Eddie we'll be looking around and wondering whether someone would tap him on the shoulder," Robertson said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for Western Missouri charged Maher with illegal possession of firearms.
The money has never been found.

Women's basketball stays perfect at home
February 1, 2011
TweetSenior guard Jackie Ward poured in a game-high 20 points and junior point guard Andrea Holmes finished with 18 points, leading Binghamton (14-8, 7-2 AE) to a 70-43 victory over Maine (3-18, 1-8 AE) in an America East women's basketball game on Jan. 29, at the Events Center.
The victory improved the Bearcats' record to a program-best 8-0 at the Events Center. In addition, Binghamton is also off to its best start in its 10 seasons in the America East Conference.
Ward, whose point total represented her season high, also added a game-high five assists and added seven rebounds. Freshman guard Jasbriell Swain finished with eight points, a career-high and game-high 14 rebounds, four assists, a block and two steals while junior forward Viive Rebane turned in a seven-point, 11 rebound, three-assist, one-block and two-steal performance.
"We played very well in the second half today," head coach Nicole Scholl said. "Jackie had a great game and we did a good job on the boards."
Nursing a 29-25 lead with 40 seconds left in the first half, the Bearcats turned to Ward, who scored a pair of baskets, giving Binghamton an eight-point lead at the break. She picked right up where she left off after the break, scoring the first eight points to put the Bearcats up 41-25 with 17:24 left in regulation.
Ward also played a significant role in the Bearcats' other key run, an 11-0 blitz in a span of 2:59 to put them ahead 61-36 with 7:08 left in the contest. She had five points during that span.

The following commentary does not necessarily reflect the views of AgWeb or Farm Journal Media. The opinions expressed below are the author's own.
Robin Schmahl is a commodity broker and owner of AgDairy LLC, a full-service commodity brokerage firm located in Elkhart Lake, Wis. He provides dairy market insight.
By Robin Schmahl, AgDairy LLC
There certainly are some good things happening in the dairy markets. Cheese prices have made new highs for the year, with butter reaching a multiple-year high. This has created a somewhat bullish attitude among traders and farmers alike.
A comparison has been made to last year when the cheese price reached $1.72 in early December despite slower demand resulting from the domestic and world economic situation. So, why could not we see a repeat of this or even more as the second half of the year progresses? Prices are significantly higher than they were last year.
Butter has certainly reaped the benefit of a tighter market. After spending much of 2007-2009 below the cheese price, it has finally led the charge to higher prices. Butter price has long been the indicator for the direction of cheese. Many times, cheese prices would follow butter within the period of two weeks.
Of course, there are always exceptions to this rule as we have seen a few times in the past. Improving exports have had a significant impact on this market. For the first five months of this year, butterfat exports increased 128% over the same period last year. Butter inventory for June was 25% lower than a year ago. Stocks are the lowest they have been for the month of June since 2005 and current price is the highest it has been since 2004.
Earlier, there was concern over the impact on exports when the European Union was to release some of its intervention stocks. However, this concern has been put to rest as the butter price has not been impacted, with European supply remaining tight. Actually, the U.S. butter price has risen significantly and has narrowed the gap in world prices.
A tight cream market has had a significant impact as well. Ice cream manufacturers as well as some other Class II product manufacturers have been competing for the available cream. More milk was diverted from bottling to cheese manufacturing when schools closed, creating a tight market in which some butter manufacturers decided to sell any extra cream rather than churn it. That has since changed due to the higher butter price, with most opting to now churn rather than sell cream.
Cheese is not as tight, but price still moved higher, breaking through the formidable $1.51 level and quickly moving to $1.60. Limited trading had been done on the spot market over the past few weeks. There has been a rumor floating around that more cheese would come to the spot market once price reached and exceeded $1.60. More has come to the spot market, reviving the question whether buyers will step back and see how aggressive sellers will be.
June cold storage indicated there is plenty of cheese in storage, limiting the need to purchase fresh cheese for aging programs. American cheese stocks are 4% higher than a year ago at 628.4 million lb., other natural cheese stocks are up 3% at 371.4 million lb., and total cheese stocks are 4% higher at 1.027 billion lb.
Fresh cheese demand is carrying the ball and will be key to sustained prices. Reports are that some featuring of dairy products by retailers has been significantly scaled back or in some cases cancelled due to the higher prices. Whether this will have any impact is yet to be determined.
June milk production was a surprise, posting an increase of 2.4% over a year ago for all 50 states. Cow numbers increase by 11,000 head, with production per cow up 64 lb. over June 2009. It is natural that a better price outlook increases the desire to produce more milk to make up for lost income. Cow numbers have increased 40,000 head since December.
Implementing hedging strategies has been difficult for 2011 since much of the increase in Class III futures has taken place in closer months while later months have actually declined. The market will need to prove itself before traders will be interested in putting more price premium in 2011 contracts.

Made my countertop microwave look built
By Beth
from Huntersville, NC
I recently had to replace my 24" built-in mircowave and had a really hard time trying to find one to fit the cut-out location. I ended up buying a KitchenAid countertop because I found this trim kit. It was very easy to install, I did not have to make any adjustments to the cut-out and best of all you can't tell that the microwave is not a built-in! I was extremely pleased when this all finally came together!

Project Life | Week Nineteen
Welcome to Project Life | Week Nineteen
First off, I'm still totally amazed that I've kept with this for nineteen weeks. I don't think I've every maintained a project like this consistently for anywhere close to this amount of time (except maybe this blog).
Do I still love it? Yes. Absolutely.
Lots of photos for Week Nineteen - including some cropped to fit the small pockets.
As some of you might have read in my big photo post last week, I go through phases with my photo taking. Lately I've been back "on" again - really loving seeing life through the lens. It feels good to be connecting with my eyes/head/heart again in that way.
The "put on your happy life" is cut from an Old Navy magazine ad. Totally tore that one out immediately.
That bottom photo of toast, strawberries and kiwi was taken with my iphone.
Little tabs are cut from tags from Bananafish Studio. Looks like she just recently updated her shop again - lots of goodies to be found.
This week I also included a photo and some words my Mom emailed me (the bottom yellow flowers). The journal card above includes text from Daily Word. My Mom emails me something related to my One Little Word "light" almost everyday. Love you Mom.
Project Life is a product created by Becky Higgins. It can be anything you want it to be. The album kit (similar to the one I'm using) is available for purchase through Amazon.

I haven't yet gotten to the point that my mood swings can be synchronized to my site traffic, but I definitely recognize this particular neurosis:
SiteMeter Fever A neurosis typified by obsessively refreshing your SiteMeter to see if your traffic has increased since the last time you checked it, seven minutes ago.
There exists a Yahoo! Widget which sits on your desktop and monitors your SiteMeter. I actually installed this thing once, but after discovering that I was spending too much time looking at it, I ordered its banishment.
And there's this:
Bloggernoia This psychotic disorder involves the suspicion that other bloggers have malevolent motives for not linking you.
I seem to have a high level of immunity to this one for some reason. Then again, there have been things I've written which made me wonder if I ought to give them links. Besides, as I've noted before:
By now, just about anyone who is interested in Oklahoma blogs is either reading me already or has made a conscious decision not to read me.
This is not to say that I'd complain if traffic climbed back to 2005 levels, which were roughly 50 percent higher than today's, but a reduced visitor count hardly constitutes The End Of The World As We Know It.

Geoff value adds to the sales process beyond the norm with extensive strategic and IT marketing expertise and strong communication and negotiating skills, building on a career in major corporate management. It`s all about internet "Buyer Reach"
Digital disruption – the second stage of the Infotronics Age from 2007 has seen the advent of digital communication protocols, fast broadband, smart hardware such as mobiles, tablets and artifical intelligence software remaking business models, including in real estate, as they centre on the provision of household services. Read Richard Branson`s and industry leaders comments on this real challenge facing the industry. http://www.geoffgrover.com.au/Newsroom/page_150086.html
Surveys show the preferred seller contact is now overwhelmingly directly with the agent whose personal branding displays results and trusted adviser qualities.
Hence the emergence of online "virtual" agencies with powerful back offices attracting experienced agents nationally because they have the critical mass to provide tools and flexibility for the agent to deliver exceptional client results. Geoff and @Realty Pty Ltd is that combination - http://atrealty.com.au/, now with 350 agents nationally working together for their clients. The video illustrates the power and strength behind the brand.
Agents need to able to "walk the talk" , in other words what have they sold and at what prices relative to their recommendation. It is not what you say, but what you do that counts.
Geoff is widely acknowledged as the Mount Coolum property expert for his outstanding in-depth property knowledge of the area developed over 12 years marketing and consistently achieving a high market share of sales in Mount Coolum and adjacent suburbs.
What sellers look for in an agent - digital disruption has enabled a cut through to an insight of particular agents skills and experiences rather than selecting an agency brand that delivers variable results depending on location and the agent assigned. The focus is now on the agent delivering the consumer service and their strategy, not what price is suggested 0 this is immaterial- http://www.geoffgrover.com.au/Free_Property_Reports/page_2098136.html

Named after the Japanese god of the kitchen, Sambokojin Yakiniku Smokeless Grill is a place where Japanese and Korean food come together. Sambokojin Restaurant is an example of the Yakiniku style of dining, where raw meats are provided and diners cook these over a grill and dip the meats in whatever sauce they like. That's the Japanese part of the buffet. The Korean part comprise the cooked dishes served as part of the buffet: Chapchae, Korean beef stew (loved this one), tofu steak and six or seven selections of Korean appetizers including a variety of kimchis in all shapes and sizes. I happen to love kimchi (spicy pickled vegetables).
I love the service. The staff will fawn over you like you're some kind of celebrity. At P495 per person, that's an absolute steal! I can't help but compare this to Yakimix in Greenbelt, which I love to go to but the terribly heavy lunch and dinner crowds can take your appetite away and make you settle for fast food. Good thing about Sambokojin is that they just opened last November 26. Yeah very new, thus less people go there. For now. I will enjoy this place for as often as I can while there are few customers. However, come Christmas time, it's going to be a different story. Until then, I recommend you to come and enjoy Sambokojin.
See that? Those are real black tiger prawns, not the pretend prawns they serve at Yakimix. Dito pa lang, sulit na yung P495 mo! I love the way the food is arranged here. Unlike Yakimix, Sambokojin's plates are located under every buffet table, so when you see something you like, you just reach underneath, grab a clean plate and fill it to your heart's delight. Did I say they also have ox tongue? Well, I just did.
Top 5 tips on how make the most out of the Sambokojin buffet
I want to share some tips that my friends and I talked about during lunch. These are important tips to remember when dining at Sambokojin:
- Make sure there are no leftovers. Because if there are, you pay an additional P100 pesos! To save money and make the most out of it, just get what you can eat, because you can always come back for more. Putting too much food on your plate and not finishing it is wasteful.
- Don't drink too much water/juice/soda. This is important in any buffet. If you want to enjoy your money to the fullest, just take sips while eating because the liquids can make you full faster. Take your time to chew and savor the food. Don't just swallow after two bites.
- Avoid rice. Unless you really want to have some of the Kamameshi Rice which they will offer you, I suggest that you stick to the grilled items and ignore the starch.
- Keep the fire on the lowest setting because you will tend to overcook your meats during lunch conversations. Be mindful of what you're cooking because most meats shrink and when they burn, they won't taste good. Again, good food goes to waste.
- Don't mix your desserts with your main course. Do not use the same plate because everything on it will taste weird. Just get a new one. The waiting staff will take away used plates .
When you arrive the staff will give you a small bowl of lumped fat. Use this as your oil on the grill. Do not eat it because it's too oily and it doesn't taste good. It's just there to provide oil to the grill.
Their Chapchae tastes better than most Korean restaurants I know in the city. Really good. You should also try the Korean beef stew and beef curry.
Desserts are always grand at Sambokojin. A plethora of choices abound! There's chocolate fondue, fruits, cakes, cheesecakes, shortcakes and ice cream with toppings. I love their Brazo de Mercedes. Seems like it was homemade or something.
Sambokojin has a salad bar that has been overshadowed by their delicious Ebi Tempura. Beside it is their appetizers, which as mostly Korean.
The sushi was wonderful.
Rolls, rolls and much more.
Sambokojin is located at Eastwood Citywalk, Quezon City, at the second floor of Something Fishy. For reservations call 421-0145 or 421-0146. Buffet rates depend on the time and day of your visit.

Barring a major Earth catastrophe, cost reduction is the only way to accelerate our reach into the stars.

In a community where employee turnover rates can be as high as February snowbanks, the situation in the 14th Judicial District District Attorney's Office is no different.
During the past three months, the district attorney's Office, which serves Routt, Moffat and Grand counties, has lost four of its eight deputy district attorneys.
District Attorney Bonnie Roesink said the high turnover rate in her office is not unlike the kind of turnover you'd see at a Steamboat Springs restaurant or any other business, including other rural district attorney's offices.
"Everyone has turnover - everybody," she said Friday.
Roesink said high rates of employee turnover are common in rural district attorney's offices because most of the attorneys are given entry-level positions right out of law school. Coupled with low pay, attorneys struggle to live in rural areas - especially resort communities such as Steamboat Springs, where the high cost of living and overwhelming student loans makes it difficult to get ahead, she said.
Where have the DAs gone?
District attorneys, even those fresh out of law school, typically can make significantly higher salaries working at larger offices on the Front Range. In rural areas such as the Western Slope, district attorney's offices struggle to offer competitive salaries because their home counties don't have such large tax bases to tap into.
"I don't get applications from top people because they know they can go to the (Denver) metropolitan area and make more money," Roesink said. "It takes a very special person to do this job. You can't care about money. You have to want to do this job because you want to do the right thing."
A starting prosecutor in the 14th Judicial District makes about $44,000 a year, Roesink said.
The 14th Judicial District serves more than 27,000 people and covers hundreds of square miles, meaning attorneys often are overwhelmed with heavy caseloads.
The Steamboat Springs District Attorney's Office is fully staffed with Assistant District Attorney Kerry St. James and deputy district attorneys Jay Cranmer and Andy Heyl handling cases. Grand County is down one position, so Chief Deputy District Attorney Dan Edwards works six days a week to handle nearly all of the county's cases. Roesink and attorneys from Steamboat have been filling in periodically.
There are three attorneys in the Craig office - Roesink and newly hired deputy district attorneys Russell Wasley and Ed Vonada.
Roesink expressed confidence that with a strong candidate pool, she'll have her district fully staffed within two weeks.
"I'm looking for what I call 'fire in the belly.' I'm looking for attorneys who aren't afraid to go trial and who really want to represent the victim. This isn't an 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., get-your-paycheck kind of job. I want my attorneys willing to get out there for the victim," she said.
Roesink also is in the process of meeting with county commissioners to approve the creation of a third deputy district attorney position in Grand County.
Across the board
Most district attorneys in rural districts say that what the 14th Judicial District is experiencing is completely normal.
Craig Westberg, the Sixth Judicial District District Attorney, said he simply cannot pay his employees what they're worth.
"It's a very, very high-pressure environment in which these entry-level attorneys work. They're not prepared for it. They take a beating day after day after day," he said. "You have to be tough to take that kind of abuse."
The Sixth Judicial District serves La Plata, Archuleta and San Juan counties in Southern Colorado, which have a combined population of about 60,000 people.
Westberg said evaluating employee turnover can be difficult because people typically leave their prosecuting positions for a variety of reasons.
"Some of it could come down to management style or personality conflicts, but by and large you're going to see employees leave because they got better offers elsewhere, regardless of if they love where they live and work," he said. "I can't tell you how many times I've heard, 'Geez, I love my job, but Craig, I can't eat the pinecones.'"
Westberg said his office usually experiences a 33 percent turnover rate for entry positions. However, his office hasn't lost someone for about six months.
"Going six months without losing someone is a hell of a good run," he said.
District Attorney Mark Hurlbert, who prosecuted the Kobe Bryant case in 2004, serves the Fifth Judicial District representing Eagle, Summit, Lake and Clear Creek counties.
Hurlbert said he has been fortunate to lose only three attorneys in two years. One left because she became a judge.
"It's pretty fair to say you'll have some stretches of consistent employment and then see a lot of turnover all of a sudden," he said.
Hulbert emphasized the money problem.
"It's a struggle every year to go to our county commissioners to ask for more money. Even though we successfully raised our salaries by about $10,000 a year, we're still well behind what prosecuting attorneys can make on the Front Range," he said.
Taking it to the state
Dave Thomas, director of the Colorado District Attorney's Council, said that in 2007 the state Legislature will act on a bill that would allocate state funding to supplement rural county budgets, enabling rural counties to offer competitive salaries to district attorneys.
Thomas, who has spent the past four months covering for the Third Judicial District's District Attorney's Office, said he has become too familiar with what it's like to work in a rural office.
"Rural DA offices are staffed so that everybody in the office is virtually in court all the time. It's so hard to cover all the cases," he said.
Although it may be challenging to manage an ever-growing caseload, the real problem is trying to find an attorney willing to work for $40,000 a year, he said.
"It's a serious, serious problem because attorneys in larger offices make on average $10,000 more than in rural areas, and attorneys in the private sector make $40,000 to $50,000 more than that," he said. "The workload in these rural offices is immense, and yet these are the lowest paid DAs in the state."
District Attorneys make between $67,000 and $150,000 a year, he said.
Thomas is hopeful the state Legislature will pass the bills that would give more funding to rural district attorney's offices as well as distributing about $1 million to help supplement prosecutor incomes.
"It's simply not fair that a state public defender can make around $100,000 while some of our DAs are working for $67,000, the state minimum," he said. "It strikes me as being very unfair."
Thomas is working on modeling the bill to increase the minimum salary for district attorneys to comparable to that of a judge because the employment qualifications and workloads are very similar.
But will the bill pass?
"Honestly, I don't know," Thomas said. "Anytime you ask for money, it's difficult. I'm hoping the state values public safety and will see the value in these initiatives."

Patrick Kavanagh reflects on his time working as a film critic and a possible lost career in the media.
...For a number of years I was a film critic. I attended the Irish Film Society shows of a Saturday, and wrote as enthusiastically as the next man ... and that was before I learnt the difficult art of not caring, of having the courage of one's feelings. But it didn't take me quite a while before it came out, the terrible disclosure, that what I thought of most of those foreign films, was what George III thought of Shakespeare, 'Poor stuff but one must not say so'...

Information: |
This episode of 'Self Portrait' featuring Patrick Kavanagh was broadcast on 30 October 1962. The 'Self Portrait' series profiled writers, poets, actors and dramatists. Portraits in the series included Sylvia Beach, John B. Keane, Kate O'Brien, Louise Gavan Duffy, Sir Tyrone Guthrie, Harry O'Donovan and Sam Thompson. 'Self-Portrait' was a series of intimate studio monologues with distinguished Irish men and women. It provided a unique opportunity to hear and see significant individuals presenting themselves in their own words and voices enriching their presentations with personal stories and examples of their work. Kavanagh's script for this 'Self-Portrait' programme was later published by The Dolmen Press in 1964 © Patrick Kavanagh. In 2004 to honour the centenary of Patrick Kavanagh's birth, RTE Libraries and Archives remastered this Self-Portrait programme. Later that year the programme was repackaged and rebroadcast 'The View Presents...' Tx 29 November 2004.

Reviewed at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival
Two terrific actresses made their feature film debuts in Peter Jackson's 1994 film Heavenly Creatures. One of them was Kate Winslet, and well, you know what happened to her. The other was Melanie Lynskey, who went on to a decidedly lower-profile career than her co-star's; rather than sinking on the Titanic and winning Oscars, Lynskey has become one of the most valuable utility players in film (and television), giving brief but memorable jolts to pictures like Shattered Glass, Away We Go, and Win Win. I've yet to see a film that wasn't better because she was in it; I've also yet to see a film that seemed to take full advantage of her gifts. Hello I Must Be Going, thankfully, is that film, and the fact that someone was finally smart enough to give Lynskey a hearty leading role is reason enough to excuse the picture's occasional faults.
The someone who got smart was director Todd Louiso (also an occasional actor, best remembered as meek "Dick" in High Fidelity), and it's not the first time he's put a supporting MVP into the spotlight; his feature directorial debut was Love Liza, the 2002 film which finally gave Philip Seymour Hoffman a chance to shine. In this case, the casting is key. Lynskey's character, Amy Minsky, is a tough case--as one character delicately puts it, she's "having a hard time at the moment." She's crashing in her parents' spare bedroom while going through a divorce, spending her days sleeping, being depressed, and watching One Day at a Time reruns and old Marx Brothers movies. The character could easily come off as insufferable--she's a grade-A fuck-up, selfish and needy, and she's intensely self-pitying to boot.
Yet we're with her, immediately; Lynskey is just a likable performer, and she engages the audience from the first frame, with her off-kilter line readings and warm, open face. She never overplays, but her mug is her best weapon, whether conveying the thrill of a stolen kiss, the pleasure of an unexpected laugh, or the sudden realization that her ex (Dan Futterman) is, in fact, awful. Watch, very closely, the way she smiles at the boy she's falling for when he says something perfect--and how she then catches herself, and stifles it. A moment like that is what good screen acting is all about.
The boy is, in some ways, just that--a boy. His name is Jeremy (Christopher Abbott), he is a friend of her father's potential business associate, and he's a good decade and a half her junior. He finds himself drawn to her at an awkward dinner party (Sarah Koskoff's dialogue is just perfect here--the awkwardness is believable, rather than that broad, silly stuff that lazier scribes do), and the script gets at something real and relatable about the tentativeness (and excitement) of an attraction that is probably a very bad idea.
Koskoff's script gets problematic in the third act, with conflicts and arguments that are both pat and overwritten, and a final scene between Amy and her young beau that is nearly sunk by some particularly unfortunate dialogue. These flaws are forgivable. Louiso shows a sure, steady, unforced hand as a filmmaker, and he pulls terrific performances out of his actors--Abbott is direct and effective, while Blythe Danner (as Amy's mom) handles several difficult moments with verve. But this is Lynskey's show, and to that I say: 'bout damn time.
Jason lives with his wife Rebekah and their daughter Lucy in New York. He holds an MA in Cultural Reporting and Criticism from NYU. He is film editor for Flavorwire and is a contributor to Salon, the Atlantic, and several other publications. His first book, Pulp Fiction: The Complete History of Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece, was released last fall by Voyageur Press. He blogs at Fourth Row Center and is yet another critic with a Twitter feed.

...to Combat Fraudulent Emails
TUPELO, Miss., May 18 -- BancorpSouth (NYSE?) has initiated electronic and legal actions to combat fraudulent emails -- commonly called "phishing" -- being received by customers as well as non-customers. Other financial institutions and businesses also have experienced similar fraud. This is a form of identity theft, a serious crime that affects 10 million people in America each year.
"The current rash of emails seems to be directed to government and educational email addresses," says Cathy Talbot, vice president, Corporate Security Department, BancorpSouth. "These messages are urging people to 'update,' 'validate' or 'confirm' their account information. The email may even offer a gift card or other incentive to provide your personal information."

My inspiration for today's blog post comes from two things that stuck in my head when I read them. The first is a pearl of wisdom from the fictional detective Miss Marple, which I will quote later. The second is a recent comment made in response to a colleague's post on this blog: 'how can you research a record or collection if you do not know it exists?'
The trivial answer to this question is, of course, that you can't. It does, however, prompt another, more complicated question: how can you find archival sources that are relevant for your research?
In previous blog posts, I've given some hints on how to get started and noted some attributes of really successful researchers. For this post, I've decided to offer a brief outline of three different ways of locating and identifying interesting records: serendipity, 'brute force' and archival logic. In practice, most people's experience of using archives tends to involve some combination of these three. Continue reading »

fine by me
but lets also be consistent and give shamarko thomas that same benefit
He sucks. Not a Steeler. Wasted a 4th round pick.
For what it's worth, after drafting Tom Brady in the 6th round in 2000, the "football genius" Bill Belichick has used a 4th round pick on QB Rohan Davey in 2002, a 6th round pick on QB Kliff Kingsbury in 2003, a 7th round pick on QB Matt Cassel in 2005, 3rd round pick on QB Kevin O'Connell in 2008, a 7th round pick on QB Zac Robinson in 2010, a 3rd round pick on QB Ryan Mallett in 2011, and a 2nd round pick on QB Jimmy Garoppolo in 2014.
He's had a Hall of Famer as his starter, and still used 1 second, 2 thirds, 1 fourth, 1 sixth, and 2 sevenths (and the one with the most productive career was one of the 7th round picks, Matt Cassel).
Meanwhile, after drafting Ben Roethlisberger in the first round in 2004, our "brain fart trust" has used a 5th round pick on Omar Jacobs in 2006, a 5th round pick on Dennis Dixon in 2008, and a 4th round pick on Landry Jones in 2013.
That's it. Two fifths and a fourth. Not great players by any means, but really our 3 post-Ben QB selections are no essentially no worse than what the Patriots got out of their 7 post-Brady QB selections, and all of the guys we took were on day 3 of the draft.
How much draft capital did we spend on the QB's during the Ben era compared to how much New England spent on QB's during the Brady era? I bet Tom might have won more Super Bowls if they used that 2nd, two 3rds, 4th, 6th, and two 7ths on weapons for him to throw to, or defensive studs, instead of backups to him.
Can we all calm down about using a 4th round pick on Landry freaking Jones already? The 4th round occassionally gets you an Ike Taylor or a Larry Foote, but more often than that, it gets you guys like Thaddeus Gibson, Tony Hills, Ryan McBean, Orien Harris, Fred Gibson, Matthias Nkwenti, and Danny Farmer.
Ruthless 2017 Mock Draft:

2.62 OLB Jordan Willis 6'4" 255 Kansas State

4.135 CB Howard Wilson 6'1" 184 Houston
5.173 FS John Johnson 6'1" 205 Boston College
6.213 TE Michael Roberts 6'4" 270 Toledo

2015 MNF Executive Champion!
1.30) Taco Charlton, DE, Michigan (McKinley or Williams)
2.62) Quincy Wilson, CB, Florida (Obi Melifonwu, S)
3.94) Noah Brown, WR, OSU
The referee said that you hit Brian Sipe too hard. Did you hit him too hard?
I hit him as hard as I could - Jack Lambert
why should we give Shamarko the same benefit as a back up QB?
Pretty sure Shamarko will see the field in some packages this year.... he already has NFL snaps under his belt.
I don't think we should define Shamarko by his play this year but the expectations for role players should always be above the expectations for a back up QB.
More silly logic

Stir-Fried Choy Sum With Minced Garlic Recipe
Stir-frying in a light sauce flavored with a little soy sauce and a lot of garlic is my go-to method to cook Asian greens. Quick, simple, and flavorful, it's really hard to go wrong no matter which greens you decide to cook. Check out the entire Chinese Greens 101 series here!
Note: For a milder garlic flavor, do not add garlic to sauce in step 1. During step 2, before adding sauce, add garlic to wok and stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds, then add the sauce and continue as directed.
- Yield:Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:15 minutes
- Rated:
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper powder
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1/8 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon water
- 6 cloves garlic, finely minced (about 2 tablespoons)
- 1 pound choy sum, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable, canola, or peanut oil
In a small bowl combine the ground white pepper powder, soy sauce, salt, cornstarch, sesame oil, and water together. Mix well and add the minced garlic (see note above). Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Add the chopped choy sum and cook until bright green, about 40 seconds. Drain well.
Heat vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add the choy sum, stir, and season with a few pinches of salt. Continue to cook while stirring regularly for about 2 minutes. Push the choy sum away from the center of the wok (see note above). Stir the sauce and add it to the center. Once it starts bubbling, combine it with the choy sum. Season to taste with more salt as desired. Transfer to a serving platter and serve immediately.

Hurry Curry of Tokyo Restaurant Review: Spicy, medium or mild is the question at this casual curry spot. Like many of our city's most beloved Japanese restaurants, Hurry Curry of Tokyo is located in a strip mall so it's not much to look at---just a simple box with plain wooden tables and chairs. The curry, however, is delicious: a full-flavored and thick blend of 21 signature spices filled with white-meat chicken and vegetables, or perhaps spinach and mushrooms, that you spoon over sticky white rice or spaghetti. You can also order gyoza, ground beef croquettes or a fine chicken cutlet, lightly fried and served with more of that glorious golden curry. To drink, order a saké martini accented with apple, lychee or pomegranate. |

Today my mother, Audrey Meinzen Doyle, would have turned 95 if she were still with us. She passed away in 1997 at the age of 82, 10 years after my father died.
This is such a fuzzy, hazy, faded photo, taken when color photographs were new and cut down from a group shot. And yet, despite the off-color and the lack of clarity, I like it quite a lot. There are plenty of photos of Mom when she was an infant, a child, a teen, a young adult; during her courting days alone and with my father; during the early years of their marriage; and even a few taken when she was older. But there are very, very few photos of her in middle age.
Mom liked bouquets of fresh flowers, the color blue, poetry, and clean sheets. I heard her comment more than once that she loved fresh, clean, crisp sheets on her bed and would have had them every night if she could. No doubt she would have liked them hung out to dry in the fresh air and sunshine, too - by someone else - if that luxury had been available.
I'd send you bouquets today, Mom, if you were still here. I hope you're having a grand celebration with Dad, Gramma and Grampa, and the rest of the family. Happy Birthday! I love you.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Saltwater Fish Diseases
- - Damsel not eating, lethargic
Damsel not eating, lethargic I have a 60 gal tank, live hawaiian black sand, artificial coral, 2 power heads, bubble wand and temp stays at 78*. Cycling for about 5 weeks now. SG = 1.025, Ph = 8.2, everything else is 0. Have a yellow tail damsel, 2 three stripes damsels, 1 sand sifting starfish, 1 spotted blenny and 6 hermit crabs. Have 2 clown fish and 1 purple something or other in QT that were supposed to go into my dsplay tank this weekend. Tonight I noticed that one of my damsels was lethargic laying about the bottom of the tank and looked like gasping for air. Managed to isolate it and put it in a small bowl just in case that it is contagious. What can be happening with it and what to do right away to fix the problem? |
Sounds as if your fish is dying on you. Hard to say why. But if you have more than one Damsel, Im betting he got whooped, most don't have a clue about these fish, but they are some meanies. You cycled the tank with the Damsels? Filtration? How are you keeping your numbers at 0? No live rock? No skimmer? Bubble Wand is not needed, and will give you a mean case of Salt Creep where ever those bubbles are popping at the surface. Need a Calcium and ALK reading if you got it handy. But im betting he got a butt whoopin. |
Reefing will add in some more today but I don't think you'll get away with a 60 gallon and no skiimmer, especially without live rock. Under 30, you can get away with it. |
Right Sully, 60g gotta have a Skimmer on it. And get rid of that Filter, but first, your going to have to add 60-100lbs of Live Rock (Macro Rock) before you do this. It will have to Cure, so it will need to be in the tank for 6 weeks before adding those other fish. The filter can then be removed. You need these things to run an optimum SW tank. |
Ok. So went and got a eshopps 75h skimmer, got me some cured, live rock and some more led lights. I started with 20 lbs of live rock. The plan is to add about 80-90 lbs, but the LFS said to add it slowly since the artificial reef already has some bacteria on it. He said maybe next week I could add another 40-60 for a total of 80 lbs. The skimmer is getting on my nerves because it is overflowing the cup with bubbles and water to the point that it is spilling onto the floor. I keep trying to adjust it, but it doesn't do jack. Is there a trick to this joker? |
If you got CURED LIVE ROCK put it all in at once, it won't hurt anything, its already got the bacteria growing in it. Trick to the Skimmer, brand new, is to wash it out using vinegar, this will remove the resin on the acrylic, and act better when you hook it up. The bubbles should some to the lower portion of the neck and no more. |
Ok so today I added another 50 lbs of cured live rock for a total of 70 lbs. I returned the light that I had bought yesterday because I didn't like the looks of it on the tank. Anywho, I got a corallight high output something or other which puts out 300w. Its got three different kinds of lights on it. Daylight, dusk-dawn light and moonlight. LFS said it was good for reef tanks which is good because now I am thinking on setting some coral in there to give the tank some color. The protein skimmer seems to be working although there are a lot of bubbles coming up. LFS said the dirtier the water is, the more bubbles I would get. So, I am hoping that once the water starts getting cleaner the bubbles will settle down somewhat. I can already see a little bit of scum sticking to the collection cup also. Something that struck me as odd when I bought the cured live rock today was that they had it sitting in a box, wrapped in some type of foam paper. Would that be cured live or just live. Also, some of this rocks have some type of white, long stuff on it, looks almost lie a worm. Would you know what that is? Thanks for all your help and the prompt responses. |
Since I have that live rock in there and the protein skimmer, do I need the HOB filter? How long should I wait before I can add some new fish to it? |
No filter, throw that thing away. Adding fish would all depend on your Tank cycling time. And being as you infact did not get Cured Live Rock, you will have to re-cure it, and your looking at roughly 4-6 weeks. The white tubes are probably from old worm canals. |

Everyone, say hi to Filip — that's him, on his way out of the yard.In an otherwise innocuous piece on Jorge Posada transitioning to designated hitter, Bondy makes an aside about the supposed affront that DHing represents to a once-skilled fielder.AdvertisementThe DH may forever represent an unwanted demotion for older sluggers - Matsui, too, felt that way - but it is the fate of almost everyone, if they're good enough to hang around. Thurman Munson was spared this indignity, in tragic fashion, dying at age 32.So, to recap. Matsui, who's made eight figures a year since he became a fulltime DH: dishonored.

Video: Children Say American Crystal Sugar Lockout Is 'Heartbreaking'
Since Aug. 1, 2011, 1,300 American Crystal Sugar Co. workers have been locked out of their jobs in five sugar beet processing plants in Minnesota, North Dakota and Iowa. The locked-out workers are members of the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers (BCTGM). More than 20 children and grandchildren of the locked-out workers gathered in East Grand Forks, Minn., to write letters to American Crystal Sugar CEO Dave Berg and the board about how the lockout is affecting them, their families and community.
Watch the YouTube video in the post: "AFL-CIO: Children Speak Out Against the American Crystal Sugar Company Lockout (BCTGM)."
The AFL-CIO has announced a boycott of American Crystal Sugar products if the company does not end the lockout by Oct. 15.
Sign the petition to end the lockout: aflcio.org/endthelockout.
Please watch and share the video in the blog post. We're sharing the video with elected officials, agriculture industry leaders and others to urge American Crystal Sugar Co. to end the lockout.
You also can make a donation through the Minnesota AFL-CIO. A $100 donation could help buy school clothes and supplies for the children, groceries for the families, gas cards and other desperately needed items.
Please make checks payable to the Minnesota AFL-CIO. Please write "Lockout Fund" in the memo line on your check and send to:
Minnesota AFL-CIO, 175 Aurora Ave., St. Paul, MN 55103

A rather bizarre study carried out by German researchers suggests that staring at women's breasts is good for men's health and increases their life expectancy.
According to Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist and author of the study, gawking at women's breasts is a healthy practice, almost at par with an intense exercise regime, that prolongs the lifespan of a man by five years.She added, "Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female, is roughly equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out."A five-year research on 500 men
Researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany did an in-depth analysis of 200 healthy males over a period of five years. Half the volunteers were instructed to ogle at the breasts of women daily, while the rest were told to refrain from doing so.At the close of the study, the researchers noted that the men who stared at the breasts of females on a regular basis exhibited lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery disease.
Sexual desire linked to better blood circulation
The researchers declared that sexual desire gives rise to better blood circulation that signifies an overall improved health.Weatherby explained the concept stating, "Sexual excitement gets the heart pumping and improves blood circulation. There's no question: Gazing at breasts makes men healthy.
"Our study indicates that engaging in this activity a few minutes daily cuts the risk of stroke and heart attack in half. We believe that by doing so consistently, the average man can extend his life four to five years."
In addition, she also recommended that men over 40 should gaze at larger breasts daily for 10 minutes.
The German research is believed to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
This may explain why women live longer, since they spend more time looking at boobs (their own) over the course of their lives. 😉
But… I'm confused about something… to increase their lifespans, at what would the Asexuals stare?
…. if it exists as a fourth orientation, true asexuality would be due neither to genetic anomaly or environmental assault; although little is known about its etiology (Bogaert believes it may be traced to prenatal alterations of the hypothalamus), by all appearances most asexual people are normal, healthy, hormonally balanced and sexually mature adults who, for still uncertain reasons, have always found sex to be one big, bland yawn.Asexuality would therefore be like other sexual orientations in the sense that it is not "acquired" or "situational," but rather an essential part of one's biological makeup. But the story of asexuality is very complicated. For example, as discussion on the AVEN (Asexuality and Visibility Education Network) website forums demonstrate, there is tremendous variation in the sexual inclinations of those who consider themselves to be asexual. Some masturbate, some don't. Some are interested in nonsexual, romantic relationships (including cuddling and kissing but no genital contact), while others aren't. Some consider themselves to be "hetero-asexual" (having a nonsexual aesthetic or romantic preference for those of the opposite sex), while others see themselves as "homo-" or "bi-asexuals."
Yet many asexuals are also perfectly willing to have sex if it satisfies their sexual partners; it's not awkward or painful for them but rather, like making toast or emptying the trash, they just don't personally derive pleasure from the act. Others insist on being in completely sexless relationships, possibly with other asexuals. Thus, while many asexuals are virgins, others are ironically even more experienced than your traditionally sexual friends. – thestar
Okay, this study is a hoax. According to Snopes:
The article referred to above was not printed in The New England Journal of Medicine or any other major medical journal. It is, in fact, a slight reworking of a piece that has run on at least two occasions in that celebrated tabloid Fountain of Truth, the Weekly World News (13 May 1997 and 21 March 2000) and has escaped into the wild. Although the Weekly World News occasionally slips up and prints a true story, we suspect this one belongs in the "HOW TO TELL IF YOUR DOG WORSHIPS SATAN!" and "NEW REMOTE-CONTROL DEVICE GIVES WOMEN ORGASMS — AT UP TO 80 YARDS AWAY!" class. – snopes
There's a huge gap that includes neurophysiological and endocrinological components between " … Gazing at breasts …" and "lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and lesser episodes of coronary artery disease" that obviously are not being articulated, probably because "scientists" know very little about it. But, it was always nice for members of a patriarchal society to hear that staring at breasts is healthy. Whatever the links between staring and health are, they're not really important. Are they?
"unfortunately"? A supporter of our patriarchal society?
Obviously, "no such study exists," because, like I said, "there's a huge gap in the study … ." But, I guess no one caught on.
What does "male interest in the female body" have to with "staring at boobs"? (Talking about leaps in logic!) Staring is an obession and a mental problem from one perspective or merely rude from another.
If by "male interest in the female body" you mean female beauty, don't you suppose female beauty is more than fatty protrusions of the mammary glands?
"… men still make more and have the most influence in our society currently, but NONE OF THE MEN I KNOW use attractiveness of women as a means to subjugate them." (Capitalization added) is not a study, but a personal observation. I can find women who claim that pornography is not exploitative, that they voluntarily, willingly entered the field. I have read about prostitutes who "enjoy" their "occupation." All this means what? Not much.
If you think that Western countries (some worse than others) are not patriarchal, which means primarily controlled by the male gender, which in turn means male tastes and desire dominate, (where a common slam is something like calling a male, a "girlie man") … well, I don't what to say, or perhaps read more … (like history :))
I disagree with you on the opinion that looking at pictures of the female mammary glands is a sin, but I agree that "girlie men" needs to stop being an insult. Of course, relatively few women are willing to date "girlie men", so there might be a reason it's an insult.
Please read.
No, I didn't say "looking at pictures of the female mammary glands is a sin." I don't know too much about "sin." (maybe I should?)
I said, "staring at boobs … is an obsession and a mental problem from one perspective or merely rude from another." You know, "staring," to intently gaze, to google, to gawk, like you can't get your mind on something else? If this behavior can't be controlled then it is a problem, and in public this is rude. (If you don't think it's rude, try doing it to a woman with attractive breasts who has a husband or boyfriend nearby watching you. Its rudeness might be brought to your attention rather quickly, perhaps.)
I understand, "girlie men" to mean men who in some way are as women. (But, not just women, but young immature women, girls.) Presumably, it is an insult for men to be as women (or girls). Which means what? What does it say about women (or girls)? I haven't read to many press reports (like governor of Calif.) of women calling men "girlie men."
Anyway, for a woman to call a man (or think of a man as), a "girlie man," is like a woman trying to insult a man, because he is as she is, a woman. This is funny, but I'm sure there are women who do this. But, many women also suffer from lower self-esteem, as well. (That is, they think less of themselves than what they should.) This is for any normal healthy person (male or female) a sad statement about our society.

Awards season is in full swing and a number of LGBT-inclusive television shows and films were honored at this year's Golden Globe Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Producers Guild of America Awards--but one show in particular stood out from the pack.
Fox's new smash-hit, Glee, took the Golden Globe this year for Best Television Series--Comedy, or Musical, as well as the SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series. Addressing many LGBT issues such as coming out to family and friends and high school homophobia-all while being indescribably hilarious, GLAAD continues to applaud Glee for its LGBT inclusive material. Glee also stars out actor, Chris Colfer as the flamboyant, fashion-forward Kurt, and out actress Jane Lynch, as detestable cheerleading coach, Sue Sylvester. Lynch was a Golden Globe nominee for Best Supporting Actress in a Series, but lost to Big Love's Chloe Sevigny. At the Globes, Lynch announced that she would be marrying her girlfriend, Dr. Lara Embry, in May. Also nominated at the Globes was the openly gay How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris in the Best Supporting Actor in a Series category and A Single Man's Colin Firth in the Best Actor category.
Also a big winner this year is out director Lee Daniels' hit, Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire, which brought Mo'Nique a Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Golden Globe Award and a SAG Award. Precious star Gabourey Sidibe was nominated in the Best Actress category at both award ceremonies, losing to The Blind Side star Sandra Bullock.
The upcoming PGA Awards nominations have been released, and Precious was recognized in the Feature Film category. Two episodes of Glee, "Wheels," directed by Paris Barclay, and "Pilot," directed by Ryan Murphy (both openly gay), were nominated in the Outstanding Directorial Achievement category.

Clippers' Griffin tries to adjust to officiating
OKLAHOMA CITY – The rules don't change, at least not technically.
But the notion is that in the playoffs, things should be more physical. There should be more contact. Whistles should be harder to earn.
But, as the Clippers are finding out, that isn't necessarily true.
"It's going to be more physical," Coach Doc Rivers said. "I just don't know if it's called that much more different."
Take Blake Griffin, for instance.
The bulk of Griffin's exposure to the playoffs came from two slugfest series with Memphis and forward Zach Randolph. The two traded blows, often without whistles, as they fought for real estate near the basket.
But he's not fighting with Randolph any more, and the level of physicality allowed has changed.
"Those series were a little different than the past two, especially. Each series is different," Griffin said Tuesday. "The Golden State series is different than this series. It's about figuring it out and learning to play."
Griffin has struggled to grasp exactly what he's able to get away with throughout this postseason.
Before Tuesday's game, Griffin finished with five or more fouls six times in 11 games.
Part of it has been adjusting to the officials; part of it has been some over-eagerness on Griffin's part.
"I think it's a more physical game. I think at times they call it tight, at times they don't," Rivers said earlier this week. "I think for Blake it's very difficult trying to measure which way the game is going to be called tonight. ... What he has to get away from is the silly fouls, the reach fouls he doesn't need to get because we need him on the floor."
Foul trouble forced Rivers' hand early Tuesday, with DeAndre Jordan picking up three in just seven minutes – two of them coming off the ball.
Chris Paul also had his minutes cut because of a pair of fouls in the first quarter, Glen Davis also picked up three quick fouls and Griffin was hit with his third in the final minute of the first half.
Before Game 5, Paul said the Clippers know the intensity and physicality needed to win in the postseason, and they need to be at that level while still being able to stay in the game.
"We know what it is. We just have to figure out what it's going to be on that given night," Paul said. "For us, we just want to compete; we just want to play. I think we just have to keep doing that, keep being aggressive."
With the Clippers preparing for a crucial Game 5, Donald Sterling's name had to come up.
How could it not, especially considering the tone of his first televised interview since being banned?
During his talk with CNN's Anderson Cooper, Sterling asserted that the media was behind the fallout from the statements, and that his players, for instance, still loved him.
Paul responded to that notion with a slight smirk before Tuesday's shootaround.
"Yeah, I don't know about all that," he said, calling Sterling's comments "unfortunate" multiple times.
Griffin said the team was aware of the statements, mostly because they've been unavoidable. Sterling's interview has kicked up another round of national attention.
"I think guys know about it. It's kind of hard not to," he said. "... Throughout the past two weeks, we've tried to make it as much as possible not about that. If you ask every single guy on this team, they love their family. They love their teammates. That's who we're playing for.
"That's really the bottom line."
By this point, the Clippers are used to fighting off these distractions, and this latest one doesn't compare with what the team had to deal with in the immediate aftermath of Sterling's comments on the TMZ recording.
"It's a lot easier now, to tell you the truth," Paul said. "During the Golden State series, it was a little tough at times. But, we feel like we're focused."

Formerly known as Bishop Creek, this is the largest city in the Californian county of Inyo. It was originally named after Bishop Creek, which in turn was named after Samuel Addison Bishop, an Owens Valley settler. Its elevation and proximity to the Sierra Nevada and the White Mountains make this place an attractive destination for rock climbers from all over the world. Mount Humphreys, White Mountain Peak, and Mount Tom are all accessible from there. Other notable locations include Erick Schat's Bakkery, Paiute Indian Reservation, Laws Rail Museum and Mountain Light Gallery.
In addition to this, the city is recognized as the mule capital of the world, and the Mule Days festival has taken place In Bishop Creek since 1969 during the week of Memorial Day. It is the largest non-motorized parade in the US, and it also includes competitions. The parade is held on Saturday morning before Memorial Day. Most participants are from California, although entries from Idaho, Nevada, Iowa, Arizona, Oregon and Utah have also participated. Competitions include barrel racing, calf roping, steer stopping, cow penning, flat racing, carriage driving and the unique packing scramble.

MANSFIELD – Construction of a new ramp connecting Route 140 to Interstate 495 south near the Comcast Center will start soon, the Mass. Department of Transportation said.
The ramp – in the works for years – will eliminate the need for traffic leaving the Comcast Center to snake along the two-lane 140 on its way to I-495.
DOT spokesman Adam Hurtubise said contractors will work Monday through Friday and schedule construction around events at the Comcast Center. The $2.18 million project also includes work on existing ramps to I-495 that are north of the Comcast Center. The DOT expects to complete the work by the end of 2011.
The DOT was expected to hold a preconstruction meeting this week with contractor J.H. Lynch and Sons Inc. The construction timeline would be determined at that meeting, Hurtubise said.
