WORCESTER, Mass. - Top-seeded WPI dropped its first game of the NEWMAC Tournament on Friday afternoon, falling at home to third-seeded MIT, 7-1, on day two of the tournament. MIT (20-10) avoided elimination and will now take on sixth-seeded Clark tomorrow at WPI at 12:45pm. WPI, now 22-10, will face second-seeded Wheaton in an elimination game for both teams at home at 9:30am.
Freshman Chris Vaughan went the distance in a strong outing for MIT, scattering 10 hits but only allowing one run. Vaughan, now 3-4 on the year, also registered a career-high 10 strikeouts against no walks to lead the Cambridge Engineers.
MIT plated a run in the top of the second to take an early advantage against WPI freshman starter Sean Minor. Senior outfielder Steven Nunez led off the frame with a four-pitch walk and moved to second on a fielder's choice. Later in the inning, MIT put on the hit-and-run with runners on first and second, opening up a hole in the left side for Will Blackman to drive a single to left, plating Nunez with the game's first run.
The visiting Engineers tacked on another run in the fourth, extending its lead without the benefit of a hit. Thomas Phillips led off with a walk, moved to second on a groundout and ended up at third as a result of a passed ball. Blackman then came through with his second RBI of the afternoon, driving Phillips home with a deep sacrifice fly to center for a 2-0 MIT lead.
WPI scratched together a run in the fourth to get on the board and cut the MIT lead in half. Cody McGregor came up with two out and the bases empty and blasted a line drive off the fence in center, pulling into second with a double. Bryan Watkins then came through with a single to center, sending McGregor home with the hosts' only run of the game.
MIT got the run right back and more however, using a three-run rally to build upon its advantage. Rookie Bryan Macomber singled to left to lead things off, with Stewart Park following with a double in the gap in left-center that set MIT up with second and third and nobody out. The next batter, freshman Creed Mangrum, plated Macomber with a sacrifice fly to left to make the score 3-1. Dan Hyatt followed Mangrum and delivered the big blow, a one-out, two-run homerun to center, setting up the visitors with a 5-1 advantage.
Following back-to-back one-out singles from Brian Doyle and Macomber in the sixth, MIT plated another run on a Park sacrifice fly to give the third-seed a 6-1 lead. Park added another sacrifice fly in the eighth that made the score. MIT scored on sac flies on four different occasions in the game.
Hyatt, Blackman and Park each drove in two for the victors, while Mangrum paced the MIT attack with three hits. Seven different players scored for MIT.
McGregor and shortstop Paul Galligan each had two hits in defeat for the hosts. Minor (4-2) allowed six runs, four earned, over 5.2 innings for WPI, dropping only his second game of the season. Alex Hanson and Justin Skelly provided the hosts with solid relief help. Hanson allowed a run in 2 1/3 innings of work while Skelly tossed a scoreless ninth.

Learn how to make the drink designed by Jason Schiffer, co-owner of 320 Main, for a fundraiser in honor of the Seal Beach victims' families.
Schiffer's wife and co-owner, Rebecca, said Jason chose to make a "mule" because the Moscow Mule is a favorite drink in Seal Beach. The Moscow Mule was a drink of vodka and ginger created in the 1940s in Los Angeles.
Schiffer added a cucumber in honor of Salon Meritage, as cucumbers are often used in salons for their cosmetic properties.
The drink is called the "Mayberry Mule" because Seal Beach is nicknamed "Mayberry by the Sea."
Mayberry Mule recipe
•2 ounces of Hendrick's gin
•3/4 ounce of freshly-squeezed lime juice
•1 dash of Angostura bitters
•1/2 ounce of simple syrup
•1 cucumber wheel, 3/4 inch thick
Shake the ingredients with ice.
Strain into an old fashioned glass with ice.
Fill with 2 ounces of ginger beer. Ginger ale is a good substitute.
Garnish with a cucumber wheel.

North Henderson High U.S. history teacher Dot Case has been appointed by Gov. Pat McCrory to the governor's Teacher Advisory Committee. The committee will advise the governor on improving student outcomes, compensating teachers and recognizing innovative schools, as well as other education matters.
Case is one of 24 teachers selected from across North Carolina to serve on the committee. The inaugural meeting was held Tuesday afternoon.
"It's a pretty big honor. We met with the governor today, and they've sort of divided everything in to areas including standards and assessments, technology, classroom best practices, teacher compensation, career pathways and continuous improvements for educators," she said.
"We'll be working on goals and objectives for the whole state. I felt it was a good meeting and I met some other teachers who had the same issues that go on in Henderson County and others from big cities and some from smaller areas than Henderson County — the group was very diverse," she added, with teachers from all grade levels.
"I'm hoping that from this we can give the governor ideas to go back to help in legislation next year and improve education from a teacher's point of view," Case said. "He was very open to education and was saying that education was important to him."
Case has taught in the Henderson County Public Schools system for 44 years. She was the 2010 North Carolina Region 8 Teacher of the Year. She received her bachelor's degree in education from Appalachian State University, and her master's in education from Western Carolina University.
McCrory's Executive Order No. 26, Governor's Teacher Advisory Committee, was issued Sept. 3. Committee members were appointed by the governor to serve a one-year term, and may be reappointed to successive terms. The appointees must be active classroom teachers serving in a North Carolina public school.
Committee members represent diverse, demographic and geographic regions of the state, grade levels and subject areas, including public charter schools. The governor will appoint a chair and committee members will select the vice chair. Meetings will be held quarterly and at other times at the call of the governor or the chair.
The committee will advise the governor in several areas: on best practices to improve student outcomes and therefore
drive economic development in the state; in his efforts to improve teaching and learning in public schools; and on effective strategies for rewarding, supporting and compensating teachers so that they may pursue a meaningful career in the teaching profession in the service of students, especially the highest-need students in the state.
The committee will identify, recognize and celebrate innovative schools and school systems in North Carolina and will recommend strategies for recruiting and retaining quality educators who drive results for their students. The executive order will remain in effect until Sept. 10, 2018.

Uber Excited
When I read the back, I got so excited. The Holocaust has always been a fascinating/dreadful era to me. Ever since I read The Devil's Arithmetic in sixth grade, I've been hooked by the amazing heroism displayed by so many during that time.
Needless to say, I can't wait to start The Book Thief!
When was the last time you were pleasantly surprised by something unexpected? What was the last book you read that you couldn't put down?

I read The Book Thief a few years ago for my readers' group and it was pretty good. I loved the premise. As for books I can't put down, lately I've mainly been reading books about and for babies. Not a lot of plot in those. I did just bring home a whole stack of YA books from the library, though, because I need stories! Enjoy The Book Thief!

I loved The Book Thief. It is poignant, gripping, funny in the right places, and so beautifully, lyrically written. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it when you're finished...you will post when you're done, right? :)

I LOVED the book thief for the daring Omniscient POV, death as the narrator, and for a decade or more, the WWII era has fascinated me.
Very much literary, dear Jessica!!! Yahoo!!
Probably "The Passion of Mary Margaret" by Samson though I am very much hepped up by the debut novel of my friend Carla Stewart.DO NOT miss Chasing Lilacs. I had the wonderful honor of getting to endorse it.

Danyelle, I'm hoping it blows me away too!
Karen, you're welcome. *grin*
Patti, did you say death? Wah!! Okay, I'll probably still like it. I guess it's better to know right off that she dies...:-( Like you said, this is literary, not romance.
Congrats to Carla!!! I've heard her name before but didn't realize she'd gotten pubbed. Good for her!

I was pleasantly surprised by Sarah Sundin's new book A Distant Melody. I really didn't expect it to be so good - I'm not sure why I had lower expectations but it captivated me and totally sucked me in! :)
Holocaust... sigh. I visited Dachau 2 years ago and you're never the same after walking the in the steps of the victims.

I loved the book, it was a present from my son in law. We had a joke about me being a book thief, when I found a book from my old library in the UK amongst my boxes.
The book is descriptive, I hope you enjoy it.

(WASHINGTON, D.C. - January 3, 2013) With the tremendous success of the National Geographic Channel's first feature film SEAL Team Six and in anticipation of the upcoming world premiere of Killing Lincoln in February 2013, National Geographic Channel President Howard T. Owens announced today that the network once again will join forces with Scott Free Productions to produce a two-hour film based on "Killing Kennedy: The End of Camelot," Bill O'Reilly's latest New York Times best-selling book with co-author Martin Dugard.
The two-hour factual drama will stay true to the narrative storytelling devices used by O'Reilly in the book, which recounts the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy - and how a sequence of gunshots in Dallas not only killed a beloved president, but also propelled the nation into the Vietnam War and a cultural change.
"The common parallels between Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are astonishing, with both assassinations profoundly changing the nation during crucial moments in its history. It made perfect sense that my follow-up to Lincoln would naturally lead to Kennedy," said author Bill O'Reilly. "While Kennedy's assassination continues to garner many conspiracy theories, our story is based on facts, some that haven't been publicly known. And with National Geographic Channel and Scott Free once again at the helm, I have the utmost trust and faith that they will bring the story of Kennedy and Camelot to life."
Production on the two-hour television event will begin this spring, combining rare historical insights and archives with dramatic and emotionally engaging storytelling in the signature style of the Scott brothers. Casting news will be announced shortly.
The special will premiere globally on the National Geographic Channel in 171 countries and 38 languages.
"Collaborating with National Geographic on Bill O'Reilly's follow-up was an easy decision. They share the same passion of storytelling, willing to take creative leaps and risks to keep viewers entertained to tell the provocative story of Kennedy's last days, a pivotal and historic moment," said Ridley Scott.
"With the tremendous success of SEAL Team Six, our first feature film, and the growing excitement over this February's premiere of Killing Lincoln, producing Bill O'Reilly's follow-up was a no-brainer and will be yet another story that will resonate with our audience," said Owens. "As Scott Free Productions continue to be perfect partners - taking risks and breaking new ground in storytelling - we are claiming a stake in producing factual dramas, delivering entertainment with substance."
About 'Killing Kennedy':
More than a million readers have thrilled to Bill O'Reilly's Killing Lincoln, the page-turning work of nonfiction about the shocking assassination that changed the course of American history. Now the anchor of The O'Reilly Factor recounts in gripping detail the brutal murder of John Fitzgerald Kennedy-and how a sequence of gunshots on a Dallas afternoon not only killed a beloved president but also sent the nation into the cataclysmic division of the Vietnam War and its culture-changing aftermath.
In January 1961, as the Cold War escalates, John F. Kennedy struggles to contain the growth of Communism while he learns the hardships, solitude, and temptations of what it means to be president of the United States. Along the way he acquires a number of formidable enemies, among them Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, and Alan Dulles, director of the Central Intelligence Agency. In addition, powerful elements of organized crime have begun to talk about targeting the president and his brother, Attorney General Robert Kennedy.
In the midst of a 1963 campaign trip to Texas, Kennedy is gunned down by an erratic young drifter named Lee Harvey Oswald. The former Marine Corps sharpshooter escapes the scene, only to be caught and shot dead while in police custody.
The events leading up to the most notorious crime of the twentieth century are almost as shocking as the assassination itself. Killing Kennedy chronicles both the heroism and deceit of Camelot, bringing history to life in ways that will profoundly move the reader. This may well be the most talked about book of the year.
About Bill O'Reilly:
Bill O'Reilly is the anchor of "The O'Reilly Factor," the highest-rated cable news show in the country. He also writes a syndicated newspaper column and is the author of several number-one best-selling books. He is perhaps the most talked-about political commentator in America.
About Scott Free Productions:
Scott Free Productions was formed in 1995 and is the film and television production vehicle of acclaimed film directors: brothers Ridley and Tony Scott. Scott Free Television produces the Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R)-nominated, Peabody acclaimed drama, The Good Wife for CBS which is currently enjoying its fourth season, and the eight-hour adaptation of World Without End, Ken Follett's international best-seller featuring Cynthia Nixon, Ben Chaplin and Miranda Richardson on Reelz. Scott Free also produced the recent four-hour adaptation of Robin Cook's Coma for A&E, starring Geena Davis, James Woods, Richard Dreyfuss and Ellen Burstyn, the Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R)-nominated mini-series The Pillars of The Earth for Starz, the hit CBS show NUMB3RS, which ran for six seasons, the Emmy(R)-nominated mini-series The Andromeda Strain, starring Benjamin Bratt and Viola Davis, also for A&E, as well as the Golden Globe(R) nominated The Company for TNT featuring Michael Keaton and Alfred Molina.
Productions in prep for 2013 include the film event Reykjavik, starring Michael Douglas as Ronald Reagan and Christoph Waltz as Mikhail Gorbachev, about the historic meeting between the two leaders which instigated the end of the Cold War; Klondike, Discovery Channel1s first ever scripted mini-series, based on Charlotte Gray1s book, about six strangers' fight for survival and wealth in a small, frontier boom town; and, for Showtime, The Vatican from Oscar(R) nominated writer Paul Attanasio, a modern-day political thriller, with Ridley Scott at the helm of his first-ever television pilot.
In addition to scripted fare, Scott Free has firmly established its nonfiction presence by producing the epic Emmy(R)-winning documentary Gettysburg for History Channel, and the upcoming documentary Killing Lincoln for National Geographic Channel.

Milky oily water leaked out of transmission!
I have a 2000 mastercraft with indmar v drive. I have loved this boat since the day my family bought it. I had a bilge pump out and noticed after almost filling my hull completely with water. I have diagnosed the water problem coming from the water pump bearing and seal leaking on the pulley side of the impeller housing. I also fixed the bilge pump. When I pulled the boat out of garage to hook up fake a lake(to diagnose where water was intruding) I then noticed oil had dripped out of hull onto the ground. A lot of oil and water. I then used a suction pump and fed tube into transmission to suck out what appeared to be about 2 quarts of milky watery oil! I'm freakish at this point. I drained remaining and filled with fresh oil with intentions of running in driveway with fake a lake to mix and then repeat my process of changing fluid to get rid of any remaining water. When I hooked up the fake a lake and cranked engine I could not get transmission to engage. I moved the throttle forward and engine would rev but prop was not spinning. The tranny made zero noise. It did not seem to engage and the engine was purring beautifully. Any thoughts? Is my transmission ruined??
My best guess is that water penetrated a seal on tranny last time it was run and then leaked out in my hull and then onto the ground in garage. I don't know why it would not engage at all.. It seams like it would have made some noise or grinding or something. Is there a sensor that keeps transmission from engaging for any reason?
Any input would be appreciated.
Mo Money, mo boats, mo problems
You really should not engage the transmission while out of the water. You can burn up the cutless bearings in the strut pretty fast doing that.
I would think, that if you had forward or reverse working when you pulled the boat last year then there probably isn't much damage to the internal workings of the transmission.
Did you replace the oil with the correct type? I would take the boat down to a boat ramp and try running the transmission there. Check and change the trans fluid/oil to make sure it's not taking on more water.
Have the oil cooler pressure tested (or, you can test it if you have a compressor. You'll need a brass plug, a reducer bushing and a Shrader valve. Remove the oil cooler, thread these parts into the cooler and make sure they're sealing well, pressurize the oil cooler (you don't need a lot of pressure- 20psi should be fine) and immerse it in water- if you see bubbles coming from the inside, it's leaking.
If you see bubbles, you can take it to a radiator repair shop for repair- it's a lot less money than buying a new one and you won't have to worry about getting a part number. If it's not leaking, the shaft seal on the transmission should be checked for black paint on the rubber, next to the opening. If it has paint all over the rubber, use a small hook tool to scrape the paint off. This was a known issue in 2000 and they had a service bulletin for it. If you're not the original owner, it's likely that they never had this done or the dealer never did it for them.
I saw a few transmissions with water getting in this way and was told to add about 1/2 cup of kerosene to the transmission oil when I changed it. Run it, let the oil circulate and the kerosene would attract as much of the remaining water as it can, then repeat the oil change until it comes out free of water. The least expensive way to do this it to buy the transmission oil in gallon jugs.
On the two MC's I have owned there is a button that you can pull out by the throttle that will dis-engage the tranny. Have you check to see if this has been pulled out enough to not engage the tranny when you move the throttle?
Thanks for the advice guys. I'm out of town for the weekend but when I get back to my shop I will pull the oil cooler off and pressure test. I'm really hoping that is the problem and how water is getting into my tranny. I will repost after. Thanks again.

Cosmetologists wanted
The American Cancer Society is looking for licensed cosmetologists in York County who are interested in becoming trained volunteers for its "Look Good Feel Better" program.
The program is a free, national public service program that helps women cancer patients improve their appearance and self-image by teaching them hands-on beauty techniques to manage appearance side effects of chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
Hair stylists, wig experts and estheticians are invited to a free training session from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. April 22 at Southern Maine Medical Center, One Medical Center Drive.
For more details or to register, call Nicole Heanssler at 373-3701 or email [email protected]
Tech center cites pair
Biddeford Regional Center of Technology has named Christina Oliver, from Business & Financial Management studies, and Emily Doyon, from the Drafting-Engineering & Architecture program, as students of the month for January.
Each received a cash award from the Bank of Maine.
Other students who were nominated for the award were Alyssa Baldino, Brenden Dugal, Dominic Falzone, Mariah Gagne, Cheryl MacDonald, Hunter Parenteau and Sara Scott.
Bank opening helps hospital
Biddeford Savings Bank celebrated the opening of its newest branch on Route 111 recently with a $2,500 donation to Southern Maine Medical Center.
The funds will be used to buy 400 newborn sleep sacks to send home with all babies born at the hospital.
The sacks, known as wearable blankets, act as a preventive measure against Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.
The American Academy of Pediatrics has strongly discouraged the use of loose blankets for newborns and infants because they can easily cover a baby's face during sleep, which may create the compromised breathing associated with SIDS.
The units feature an inverted zipper for easy diapering. They ensure babies stay safely warm all night while making it difficult for them to climb out of their cribs.
SMMC also received individual donations toward the purchase of the sleep sacks, including from the American Baptist Women's Ministries.
Event features book drive
The Wells-Ogunquit Community School District's annual Celebration of Reading Day event, held recently, featured 28 guest readers who visited with Wells Elementary School students in their classrooms to read such timeless children's classic as "Make Way for Ducklings" and "The Cat in the Hat."
This year's event featured a book drive to collect new or gently used children's books for libraries and day care centers damaged by Hurricane Sandy.
Books collected will be shipped to the Bridges of Books Foundation with the cost for shipping to be paid by the Rotary Club of Wells.
Performance noted in Sports Illustrated
Wells High School senior and indoor track team member Denzel Tomaszewski was featured in the March 4 edition of Sports Illustrated magazine.
Tomaszewski was featured in the magazine's 'Faces in the Crowd' column that highlights exceptional performances around the country.
Tomaszewski set a state record of 6.46 seconds in the 55-meter dash and was voted by league coaches as the Western Maine Conference Championship's Most Valuable Male Track Athlete for the second year running.
Tomaszewski also placed fourth at the New England Indoor Track & Field Championship recently and ran the 60-meter dash in 7.15 seconds at the New Balance Indoor Track & Field Championships in New York City in 2012.
Last spring, Tomaszewski was named Liberty Mutual Athlete of the Month for his sportsmanship on and off the field, academic achievement and performance on the Wells team.
Valls, Hussey top citizens
Kennebunk High School senior students Jace Valls and Olivia Hussey were named the school's 2013 Citizenship Award winners.
Valls is an Academic Athlete for football, wrestling and lacrosse and was named to the SMAA All Academic Football Team in 2012.

Latin D'Lite by Ingrid Hoffman
All my favorite Mexican and South American dishes, but healthier and better for me? Heck, yeah! If you love your enchiladas and pulled pork tacos perhaps a little too much, never fear. Ingrid Hoffman of the Cooking Channel's Simply Delicioso is here to help us keep it spicy and full of flavor while lightening up those much-loved Latin foods.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Ingrid Hoffman
• Who published it: Celebra
• Number of recipes: Over 150
• Recipes for right now: Turkey Nachos; Sweet Potato and Chicken Soup; Mango, Avocado, and Spinach Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing; Enchiladas Suizas; Yucatan-Style Pulled Pork; Mexican Meatloaf with Tequila Ketchup; Pork-Apricot Fried Rice; Tuno and Mango Tacos; Smoky Chipotle Shrimp
• Other highlights: Ok, if you are a Mexican and Latin food purist — if, say, the idea of "Tequila Ketchup" makes you cringe — then this book is not for you. That's fine.
But if you love all the flavors of Latin cuisine and think you could get into the idea of quinoa in your chili, then you will definitely dig this book. The recipes are inventive and original, incorporating modern ingredients like whole wheat tortillas and ground turkey into these Latin dishes. Some of the dishes are riffs on classics, like pozole and yucatan pulled pork, while others give dishes familiar to a US audience, like burgers and muffins, a Latin spin. Everybody wins.
This book also gets points for approachability. The recipes range from quick breakfasts to ones that could be served at a dinner party, and yet they all look very easy to do in an average home kitchen without needing to pick up a lot of new ingredients or equipment. I appreciate that.
This isn't a definitive guide to Latin cuisine, but it's not meant to be. It's a fun, light-hearted cookbook with some good ideas for what to make for dinner.
• Who would enjoy this book? People who love Latin cuisine in all its various forms, people who want to add some lighter recipes to their weekly meal repertoire

Ron Burgundy totally pwns the news
As part of the genius marketing campaign for "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues", Will Ferrell hosts an actual news cast for the CBS affiliate in Bismarck, North Dakota in full Ron Burgundy splendor. Clad in a three-piece suit and his signature mustache, the SNL alum totally kills it. Farrell never breaks character, despite co-anchor Amber Shatz having obvious trouble holding it together.
If the news was always this entertaining, I'd probably watch it more.
"Stay classy, North Dakota."
This latest stunt comes after "Ron's" much talked about Dodge commercial and Canadian curling coverage.
I personally see Ron as more of a Cadillac guy myself.
The only reason to watch Curling.

So. This RA thing. I've had it 17 and a half months now, and I'm really not satisfied with it so I think I'm going to send it back. I've given it a fair go, and it turns out it's really not for me. Now, I'm sure I've got the receipt somewhere... A refund would be ideal but maybe I would settle for an exchange. Hayfever perhaps?
It's my 25th birthday on Friday. As a present I'd like my immune system back to normal, thanks. Oh and to win the lottery.

Catwm is a small, lightweight tiling window manager created by pyknite. It was first announced in an Arch Linux forum post.
Method 1
Method 2
If for some reason method one fails, try this one. Visit the official github page and download each file.
Before you compile catwm, you may want to skip to the Configuration section to configure it.
Then, while in the directory as the downloaded files, run the following as a non-root user:
$ make
Then, run the following as root:
# make install # make clean
catwm with xinit.
Catwm uses its config.h file for configuration. By default, some hotkeys are already set (Note: the default MOD key is the Alt key):
- MOD + h (decrease the size of a current window)
- MOD + l (increase the size of a current window)
- MOD + x (close current window)
- MOD + Tab (change to next window)
- MOD + k (change to previous window)
- MOD + j (change to next window)
- MOD + Shift + k (move current window up)
- MOD + Shift + j (move current window down)
- MOD + Enter (change master to current window)
- MOD + Space (switch mode/maximize)
- MOD + c (lock - requires slock)
- MOD + p (open dmenu - requires dmenu)
- MOD + Shift + Return (open urxvt - requires urxvt)
- MOD + Left (previous desktop)
- MOD + Right (next desktop)
- MOD + 0-9 (change to desktop #)
- MOD + q (quit catwm)
Add Custom Keybindings
To add custom keybindings, you must edit config.h and recompile catwm. That's why it is important to set them up on the initial installation to avoid having to do this again. I'll show you a scenario in which you would need to add a keybinding to open the thunar filemanager with MOD+t.
First, you must add a line such as the following underneath the already-defined const char*s (Note: You can name it whatever you want. In this case, I named it thunarcmd):
const char* thunarcmd[] = {"thunar", NULL};
I'll explain this a little more in detail. The part after the const char* and before the [] is the title, which is thunarcmd. Inside the curly brackets is where you enter the command to be executed. Each command fragment that is seperated by a space is it's own value. What I mean by that is that the command sequence ncmpcpp next would be entered as {"ncmpcpp", "next", NULL}. The NULL value must be included at the end of each hotkey.
To actually register the hotkey with the window manager, you must look below that at the struct named keys[]. This is where catwm stores all of it's keybindings. An example entry for the thunarcmd[] we made above would be:
{ MOD, XK_t, spawn, {.com = thunarcmd}},
- The first element specifies the first sequence that is pressed (MOD for the modkey only, MOD|ShiftMask for the modkey and then the shiftkey).
- The second element specifies the actual key that is pressed to differenciate it from other similar hotkeys. In this case, we set it to t, which has "XK_" in front of it because that's how Xorg reads key presses. Just remember to include "XK_" in front of it and you'll be fine. Some examples of these include XK_a for the a key, XK_Space for the space bar, and XK_1 for the 1 key. Note that these are case-sensitive, so XK_a is not the same as XK_A. So for this example, the entire hotkey senquence that needs to be pressed is MOD+t.
- The third element just specifies the function spawn(), which has been written to pass the command to the shell for execution. You do not really need to know what spawn is for, so simply include it for things like this.
- The final element inside the brackets specifies which char that was previously defined to use. In our case, it was thunarcmd[]. so we would do {.com = thunarcmd}. The .com stands for command.
After this, recompile, hope for no errors, and install.
Set Volume Up/Down Hotkeys
NOTE: This requires amixer, provided by alsa-utils
You must set hotkeys in config.h to point to volup and voldown. Here is an example:
{ MOD, XK_Down, spawn, {.com = voldown}}, { MOD, XK_Up, spawn, {.com = volup}},
That would set hotkeys that make Mod+Down lower the volume and Mod+Up raise the volume according to whatever volup and voldown are set to.
To change what percentage the volume is incremented/decremented by, edit voldown and volup. For example, to make it 2% increments/decrements, you would do:
const char* voldown[] = {"amixer","set","PCM","2\%-",NULL}; const char* volup[] = {"amixer","set","PCM","2\%+",NULL};
Set Next/Previous Song Hotkeys
NOTE: This requires mpd, and mpd software such as ncmpcpp or mpc, capable of changing songs from the command line.
You must set hotkeys in config.h to point to next and prev. Here is an example:
{ MOD|ShiftMask, XK_Right, spawn, {.com = next}}, { MOD|ShiftMask, XK_Left, spawn, {.com = prev}},
This would set MOD+Shift+Right to go to the next song and MOD+Shift+Left to go to the previous song.
My volume hotkeys do not work!
Make sure you have the right device defined in volup and voldown. Two common ones are "Master" and "PCM".
const char* voldown[] = {"amixer","set","Master","5\%-",NULL}; const char* volup[] = {"amixer","set","Master","5\%+",NULL};
const char* voldown[] = {"amixer","set","PCM","5\%-",NULL}; const char* volup[] = {"amixer","set","PCM","5\%+",NULL};
If both of those do not work, try to use one of the devices outputted by the amixer command. Also make sure you have the alsa-utils package installed.
If all of that still doesn't work, check to see if the device is not muted in alsamixer.

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0 -- How to Resolve Problems with Video Connections
From DocWiki
Main page: Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 7.0
Up one level: Troubleshooting
Video Does Not Work
Problem: Video does not work, but audio does.
Solution: Try pressing the hold button and then the resume button on the phone. This can sometimes clear up transient problems related to video.
Possible Cause: The meeting scheduler cannot host video meetings, so video is not enabled for the meeting.
Solution: Check the video usage setting in the user profile of the meeting scheduler.
Possible Cause: In Cisco Unified Communications Manager, the DTMF signaling method for the SIP trunk to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is configured to use RFC 2833.
Solution: Set the DTMF signaling method field to No Preference.
Problem: A video conference the call drops after 20 seconds. There is no Video or Audio on during that time. SIP B2BUA log from Infocap shows that CUCM send TIAS with negative value, [.INFO] [..MESSAGE] b=TIAS:-1000, and this is due to "Video Call Bandwidth" was set to NONE in Region setting.
Solution: Set the correct value for "Video Call Bandwidth" in Region setting in CUCM.
Related Topics
- "Configuring Cisco Unified Communications Manager 6.x or a Later Release: SIP Trunk to Cisco Unified MeetingPlace" in Configuring Call Control for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace
Poor Video Quality
Problem: The video has a pixelated image or poor quality.
Possible Cause: Network issues are causing packet loss between the endpoint and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.
Solution: Check the network for and correct any packet loss or excessive bandwidth utilization along the path between the video endpoint and Cisco Unified MeetingPlace.
Possible Cause: (CSCso95109) The input stream is from the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985. This potentially affects all video calls with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace when the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace global video mode is set to "standard rate" (384kb).
Solution: In the Administration Center, set the global video mode field to High rate.
Solution: For full compatibility with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, upgrade the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7985 to application load 4.1(7) or later.

The Centre football team wrapped up the regular season and celebrated its senior day by jumping out to an early lead and holding on to defeat Rhodes College 41-28 in a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference contest Saturday in Danville, Ky.
Centre finishes the regular season with an 8-1 overall record and a 5-1 mark in the SCAC. Though Trinity finished 6-0 in SCAC play and received the league's automatic playoff bid, Centre will find out its postseason fate in the NCAA Selection Show on Sunday at 6 p.m. Rhodes finishes the year at 3-6 with a 1-5 record in the SCAC.
Against Rhodes, the Colonels scored the first 34 points of the game and rolled up 507 yards of offense with 314 coming on the ground. Senior quarterback Tyler Osterman (Monroe, Ohio) hooked up with his brother Jason on three touchdown passes, and senior running back Jonathan Pinque (Athens, Ala.) added another three scores on the ground.
The Colonels dominated the first half of play, going up 27-0 while holding Rhodes to just 72 yards of offensive. They first got on the board late in the first quarter by marching 80 yards in eight plays, capped by a five yard touchdown run by Pinque. In the second quarter, Centre began to pull away by taking advantage of favorable field position to score on drives of 41, 50 and 41 yards. Jason Osterman scored on 41 and eight yard receptions in the quarter while Pinque added a three yard touchdown.
Midway through the third quarter, Centre went on to extend the lead to 34-0 when it went 43 yards in four plays with Jason Osterman hauling in an eight yard touchdown for his third score of the day.
The Rhodes passing game began to come alive at that point, but the 34-point defecit proved to be too much. Quarterback Brett Stoops went on to complete 40 of 65 passes for 424 yards, finding wideout Jack Lartigue on touchdowns of two, five, 23 and 46 yards, but the Lynx would never get the margin any closer than two touchdowns.
Early in the fourth quarter, Centre got its final score when Tyler Osterman got free and scrambled 81 yards to set up a four yard touchdown by Pinque. That touchdown made the score 41-14, and though Rhodes found the end zone twice more Centre was able to hold on for the win.
Overall, Centre gained 507 yards of total offense to 423 for Rhodes, and held the Lynx to -1 yard rushing. Tyler Osterman went 13-of-27 passing for 193 yards and three touchdowns while adding another 128 yards on the ground. Pinque finished with 132 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Rob Melillo (Louisville, Ky.) led the receivers with five catches for 105 yards while Jason Osterman caught four balls for 74 yards.
Les Bolden (Duluth, Ga.) and Thomas Kent (Cincinnati, Ohio) tied for Centre's team lead in tackles with seven. Javod Sewell (Duluth, Ga.), Tami Aderoba (Columbia, Tenn.) and Alex Savage (West Chester, Ohio) all recorded sacks while Casey Vatter (Okeana, Ohio) had an interception.

Hi i was just wondereing if anyone had an idea as to why i sometimes see shadows out of the corner of my eye and go to look and they slowly fade away.Also when i relax to go to sleep i hear yelling in my head and it gives me a headache.Iam 17 and i live in Pawtucket,Rhode Island I have not had an easy life.Also i use to have dreams about my grandmother who passed away right in front of me and who was my only guardian.Anyway she will be yelling at me but i dont understand what shes saying and she was always really nice so i dont understand why shes like this...She was Native American and didnt speak much english but i could understand her so again it makes no sense.I also feel as if people are always around me even when im bye myself...

Hey Rob the shadow are something alot of people see. I will usually try moving my head a few times again just to see if it was my hair or something in the room instead of a shadow. I always try to reason it before I say spirit. Your grandmother yelling could be regarding something in your life right now. Could be a choice she thinks is bad or she wants you on the right path. As for feeling people around you I don't know. Could be members of your family that have passed away watching over you. This is just my thoughts not gospel. Everyone has their ideas so it would be good to read what others may think. I suggest you keep an eye on your post and see what else is suggested.
Right this way to my haunted space.

Sony: Early Vita sales data is "very positive"
Speaking a few days before this morning's official launch of the PlayStation Vita, Sony's American boss Jack Tretton has said that early Sony sales data is very, very positive".
Memory is going out the door very aggressively despite the fact that memory is in a lot of the presale bundles," he told IGN. The software appears to be selling quite well top to bottom.
I've been involved in every platform launch we've ever had back to 1995, so I have the history to fall back on, and in terms of the press that we've gotten for Vita, in terms of the way we've been able to deliver the message and in terms of merchandising at retail and getting the hardware and software in people's hands, I think this is probably our most successful lead up to a launch platform.
Now that the holidays are behind us and the marketing campaign is kicking in and the merchandising is appearing at retail and we've got our promotional campaign kicking in, I feel great about the velocity that we have going into Vita, and I'd say that we're best positioned of any platform launch that I've been a part of in terms of positive momentum and positive feedback relative to it."
Tretton also slammed those who have dubbed the machine's arrival in Japan as a failure.
Quite frankly, it scares me if people think that the Japanese launch is struggling. The fact is they sold 500,000 units in three weeks," he added.
I would be pleased if we did 500,000 units in the first three weeks here in the United States. I think that's a real healthy number for a new platform launch."

How To Make Sweet and Silky Crème Anglaise Sauce
We have to be very careful not to have leftovers whenever we make a batch of crème anglaise, otherwise we find ourselves sneaking spoonfuls whenever we pass the fridge. Also called English or stirred custard, this is a rich sweet sauce perfect for drizzling over fruit, a slice of warm cake, or heck, even pancakes!
What You Need
1 1/2 cups whole milk, cream, or half-and-half
4 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
pinch salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
Medium bowl
Wooden spoon
Metal bowl set over ice water bath
1. Warm the milk or cream in the sauce pan and remove from heat. Make sure it's cool enough to touch before adding it to the eggs. (You can skip this step, but warming the milk separately helps cut down on cooking time)
2. In a medium, heat-proof bowl, whisk the yolks together and then whisk in the sugar and pinch of salt. Continue whisking until the mixture turns pale yellow and forms ribbons on the surface.
3. Whisking steadily, pour the milk into the egg-sugar mixture in a steady stream.
4. Pour the mixture back into the sauce pan and set over medium heat. Stir constantly in an "S" shape to make sure the bottom doesn't scald or the eggs curdle.
5. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens enough to fully coat the back of your spoon and is as smooth as silk.
6.You can also check the temperature with an instant-read or candy thermometer — it should be at least 156°F and not exceed 180°. (The higher the temperature, the thicker the final cooled custard will be.)
7. Strain the custard to remove any bits of eggs that may have curdled and stir in the vanilla. Doing this over an ice bath helps stop the cooking process so the custard doesn't over-cook.
Additional Notes:
• Crème anglaise will keep refrigerated for about one week.
• If you'd like to flavor your custard, you can infuse herbs, spices, or other flavors into the milk in Step 1, or add flavoring extracts along with the vanilla in Step 6.

Arkansas State Police will be cracking down on seat belt violators during the hectic Thanksgiving holiday week, according to ASP Director Col. Stan Witt.
Arkansas State Police will be cracking down on seat belt violators during the hectic Thanksgiving holiday week, according to ASP Director Col. Stan Witt. As of Monday, state troopers will join other state and local law enforcement officers in the nationwide "Click it or Ticket" campaign. The purpose of the campaign, says Witt, is to ensure that motorists obey the rules of the road and motorists are buckled-up in their seatbelts as they travel the state and national highways this holiday season. The campaign will continue through Nov. 25. Motor vehicle crashes accounted for 337 passenger vehicle occupants nationwide being killed during the 2010 Thanksgiving holiday reporting period. A staggering 55 percent of the fatalities were not wearing seat belts at the time of the crash. The figure for Arkansas during the same reporting period was 7 killed. Fifty-seven percent of those victims were not wearing seat belts. "Seat belts save lives and that's why State Troopers and local law enforcement officers across Arkansas will participate in the national "Click It or Ticket Day and Night Mobilization," stated Witt in a press release. According to Witt, the ASP will place additional troopers on the state's highways during this Thanksgiving period, which is ranked one of the busiest traveling holiday seasons of the year. During 2010 (the latest data available from the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) seat belts saved more than 12,500 lives. Research shows that the risk of fatal injury to front seat passengers passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent. The risk of moderate to serious injury is cut by 50 percent when seat belts are correctly used. "Buckling up is simple and it's a proven life saver, but it's often forgotten during the hustle and bustle of holiday travel, particularly at nighttime," said Witt. The trend shows that nighttime fatalities of unbelted passengers are higher than those in the daytime. In 2010, Thanksgiving holiday weekend fatalities, 64 percent of nighttime fatalities were not using seat belts as compared to 41 percent of fatalities in the daytime. "It's unfortunate that too many people need a tough reminder in the form of a traffic ticket," said Witt.

Joseph Blanco White Quotes
To Night
Mysterious Night! when our first parent knew
Thee from report divine, and heard thy name,
Did he not tremble for this lovely frame,
This glorious canopy of light and blue?
Yet 'neath a curtain of translucent dew,
Bathed in the rays of the great setting flame,
Hesperus with the host of heaven came,
And lo! Creation widened in man's view.
Who could have thought such darkness lay concealed

It's easy to learn a little basic bike maintenance, and knowing how your bike works makes the ride more enjoyable.
At the first of our summer bicycle workshops, two mechanics showed us some simple bicycle maintenance. These are best learned in person or video, but I will briefly describe the process with links to videos.
Pedals & Spokes bike shop owner Rick Green demonstrated how to clean and lube your bicycle chain. First, spray a gentle detergent like Simple Green on a rag. Lightly wrap the rag around the chain with your left hand while using your right hand to turn the pedals backward. For a more thorough clean, using a chain cleaning tool. Once the chain is clean, let it dry, then add oil by spraying or dripping it on the chain while turning the pedals backward. Finally, wipe off the excess oil using a clean part of the same rag, again holding the rag to the chain and spinning the pedals backward.
Use a bike-specific oil such as Tri-Flow (which can be found at Farm and Home or Westlake). Don't use WD-40 or 3-in-1 oil. Even though they are sometimes marketed for bicycles, they are not appropriate types of oil for protecting your chain.
After we cleaned our chains, local bike mechanic Kirk Ranson demonstrated how to change a flat tire. Take your wheel off your bike. Let the air out of the tire. Use tire levers to take one bead of the tire off the wheel rim. The other bead can stay on the wheel. Pull the flat tube partway out of the tire and add a little air so you can find the hole. Keep the tube partly inside the tire so that you will be able to match up the hole in the tube with the same location on the tire. Look or carefully feel inside the tire in the vicinity of the hole and try to find the cause of the hole. There may be a piece of glass, a thorn, or a sharp rock stuck in the tire, and if you put a new tube in without removing it, you will just get another flat tire.
You may be able to patch the hole, but personally I prefer to use a new tube because my patches tend to fail. Remove the old tube all the way and put the valve stem of the new tube through the valve stem hole in the wheel. Add a little air to the tube and push it into the tire all the way around. Use your hands to put the bead of the tire back onto the wheel. Finish airing up the tube to the recommended pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire.
Carry a spare tire, tire levers, and a small hand held air pump or CO2 cartridges on your bike in case you get a flat tire a long way from home.
At our next class on June 13 in Brashear Park, we will discuss the best routes for getting around town on a bicycle. Discover the secret byways and highways of the bicyclist!

LEBANON, Maine — A man was pulled to safety by his wife early Thursday morning from one of two vehicles on fire at 35 Tobacco Street.
The Lebanon Rescue Department and Lebanon Fire Department were dispatched to the area of South Lebanon for reports of a single vehicle fire at 4:28 a.m. Thursday. The initial report indicated the fire might have spread to a home. A first-alarm was struck to bring in additional resources, according to press release from the Lebanon Rescue Department.
When emergency crews arrived on scene, about 17 minutes after the initial call, they found an SUV and a sedan on fire. The fire was knocked down in nine minutes. Rescue crews were advised a male had been pulled from one of the vehicles with no life threatening injuries.
The man had apparently been sleeping in a 2002 Chevrolet Blazer when the fire started and his wife pulled him from the vehicle. He was initially not responsive when pulled from the vehicle, officials said. The man suffered smoke inhalation but declined medical transport to a hospital. He told emergency responders the car was not running at the time of the incident.
Lebanon and Rochester, N.H., fire crews worked to quickly extinguish the vehicles. The York County Sheriff's Department, Maine State Police and Office of the Maine State Fire Marshal also responded to the incident. Emergency crews were on scene until about 6:30 a.m.

A veteran registered nurse at Mercy Regional Medical Center has sued the hospital, alleging she was fired for repeatedly expressing concern about understaffing and poor morale in the Family Birth Center.
Deborah Patterson, who worked at the hospital from August 1988 to September 2011, wants her job back.
She also asks for benefits she failed to receive, monetary compensation for mental anguish the amount to be determined by a jury and legal fees.
Patterson also wants a judgment saying the defendants violated a state law forbidding retaliation against registered health-care workers for expressing concern about patient safety and quality of care.
The defendants are Mercy and its parent organization, Centura Health Corp.
Mercy spokesman David Bruzzese said Monday the hospital hasnt been served notice of the lawsuit, and he declined further comment.
Patterson declined to comment. Denver attorney John R. Olsen, who represents her, didnt return a phone call.
Documents in 6th Judicial District Court in Durango outline a chronology of Pattersons complaints about what she said were staffing levels in the Family Birth Center that put patients in danger.
Patterson brought the issue to the fore at least eight times starting in December 2009. She registered her concerns with her supervisors, the human resources department, the directors of ministry at Mercy and Centura, Centura CEO Gary Campbell and a Centura attorney.
The concerns were expressed personally, by telephone or in writing.
In July 2010, Patterson complained that staffing was critically low, and the next month she reported that co-workers were frightened by the staffing level.
In July, she was called in during an emergency, Patterson said. The center had two nurses to care for eight patients, four of them in labor.
Staffing was adequate in February and from May through July 2011, Patterson says.
But near the end of July another crisis unfolded when staffing was too low to ensure patient safety, Patterson said. Management left town, knowing the problem. The charge nurse could not call in enough staff.
Patterson had been placed on a performance plan, a type of discipline, by the time she was fired Sept. 12, 2011.
During her tenure at Mercy, management assured employees there would be no retaliation for reporting safety concerns, Patterson said.
Employees also were told the only discipline imposed would be for cause, Patterson said.

Innovative Technology Replaces Failing CMP Tunnel with RCP
By Gaetan Vaillancourt
Afailing 144-in. corrugated metal pipe tunnel in Lewiston, Maine, was replaced with a reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) structure using an innovative installation method. The contractor, Diaz Corp. of Jay, Maine, devised the method to avoid having to excavate the pipe in place under existing and proposed streets, highway ramps and a railway line, sometimes at depths of 45 to 55 feet. Diaz had the choice of either pulling (by winch) or pushing the concrete pipe in place over a distance of 1,048 feet. Either way, there would be no digging involved, and the project could be scheduled and carried out during winter conditions.
First constructed in 1972, the large-diameter metal culvert (tunnel) conveys the flow of Jep- son Brook under highway ramps, railway and local roads. Any sign of failure with this major structure had to be addressed immediately. Piece-meal rehabilitation was not an option.
Diaz contacted Strescon Ltd. of Saint John, New Brunswick, to supply the 108-in.-diameter RCP. Strescon used the dry-cast method for the first time to produce such large-diameter pipe. During the winter months of 2001 and 2002, the 31,500-lb. sections were produced in Strescon's new plant.
Choosing to push the concrete pipe in place, the contractor fabricated a special cart that was driven into the existing metal pipe. A couple of jacks were used to lift the precast concrete pipe off the ground while the cart was pushed along the existing tunnel with a Bobcat loader. In most cases, the cart had to maneuver through six to eight inches of running water inside the pipe. As a section of pipe was moved into position, the jacks were lowered and the pipe homed with the previously positioned pipe using two 6-ton come-alongs anchored in two holes that were lat- er used for pumping grout between the old metal and new concrete pipe. The process was repeated for each unit of pipe by pulling the cart out of the tunnel and loading it with another concrete pipe. No special reinforcement of the bells of the pipe was necessary since the pipe was homed using come-alongs.
With an overwhelming need for the rehabili- tation and upgrade of infrastructure in North America, more innovative approaches to installing reinforced concrete pipe are in demand. Although most rehabilitation projects involve routine construction practices, periodi- cally the contractor, owner and consulting engineer will be challenged to come up with innovative technologies. In this case, a solu- tion was found to a problem that would have cost a great deal more to correct if the conven- tional open-cut method had been used. As this project demonstrates, the versatility of rein- forced concrete pipe can contribute signifi- cantly to improving our underground infrastructure and providing drainage systems that will endure for generations. —Gaetan Vaillancourt is Pipe Division Manag- er with Strescon Limited, Saint John, New Brunswick, 506-633-8877; this report was initially prepared for American Concrete Pipe Association

Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Schumer, Borough President Markowitz and Fairway President Glickberg Cut Ribbon for New Market on Brooklyn Waterfront
$28 Million Project Will Bring Quality Market, 200 Jobs And New Residential Units to Red Hook.
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg was joined today by Senator Charles E. Schumer, Borough President Marty Markowitz and Fairway President Howard Glickberg to cut the ribbon on the new Fairway Market on the four-block long Beard Street Pier on Brooklyn's waterfront in Red Hook. The project, in what was a pre-Civil War coffee warehouse, includes a 52,000-square-foot market, a 22,000-square-foot food preparation area on the second floor, parking for more than 300 cars, and waterfront landscaping including a half mile path connecting the Beard Street Pier to Pier 41. The new market will employ a staff of about 200 permanent workers. The project also features 45 units of market rate loft residences and 6,000 square feet of office space for local not-for-profit and community-based organizations and artists studios, to be completed in the next few months. The project's developer, Greg O'Connell of Harbor View Associates, was also on hand for the ceremony, as well as Council Member Sara Gonzales, Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) President Andrew M. Alper and Small Business Services (SBS) Commissioner Robert Walsh.
"Revitalizing our waterfront and connecting it to neighborhoods is one of our primary economic development goals, and there is no better example of what we can accomplish than what is underway along the Brooklyn waterfront in Red Hook," said Mayor Bloomberg. "The opening of Fairway and creation of new housing are the latest signs of Red Hook's growing vibrancy. This area has a long history as a working waterfront, and I'm pleased the vast majority of new jobs at Fairway will be filled by Brooklyn residents, as is the case at the new Brooklyn Cruise Terminal on Pier 12. By promoting quality amenities like Fairway on previously City-owned land, creating a world-class waterfront park on Piers 1 through 6, and placing job-intensive, maritime industrial companies on Piers 7 through 10, we are adding to Red Hook's increasing lure as a great place to live and work."
"This beautiful new Fairway is the crown jewel in Red Hook's astounding renaissance," said Senator Schumer. "Red Hook has a rich history and the new Fairway will certainly be a part of its tremendous future."
"Fairway is a dream come true for Brooklynites who value quality, innovative, and affordable supermarkets, and who will surely be making the pilgrimage from every corner of our borough," said Borough President Markowitz. "Their new location represents the proper use of our waterfront, and the fresh, high-quality produce and prepared foods are long overdue for Red Hook residents, who know that a development that works with and for their community is always in good taste. Oh, did I mention the four-star nova?"
Fairway and SBS worked with the Fifth Avenue Committee – a not-for-profit that develops affordable housing, provides education opportunities and creates links to employment for residents of South Brooklyn – on community outreach to recruit, train and refer candidates for jobs at Fairway. Of the 300 potential new Fairway employees: 180 are from Brooklyn and about 110 of those are Red Hook residents including 5 of the store's assistant mangers. SBS also provided Fairway with a $40,000 NYC Business Solutions Training Grant – matched by Fairway – to create a training program for its assistant managers to give them the skills necessary to advance; the training program began in January 2006.
"This is a terrific example of the success you can have when economic and workforce development come together," said SBS Commissioner Walsh. "This has been a highly successful program, and one that will be a model for future local hiring programs. By working with community employment groups we have provided jobs for local residents at various levels and are providing the training necessary to allow them to hone their skills and advance their careers."
Greg O'Connell, a local resident who has focused on re-developing distressed and abandoned warehouse buildings in Red Hook for 35 years, purchased the 230,000-square-foot warehouse from the City, and with Fairway, is investing about $28 million in the overall project. The new market is highlighted by a dynamic brick façade and rows of arched windows with iron shutters, original beams and massive squares of yellow pine supporting columns that preserve the rich historical elements of the warehouse. The market includes a giant produce section, kosher and non kosher bakeries and butchers, aisles of top brand groceries and other amenities including more than 350 gourmet cheeses, 30 varieties of olives, and extensive seafood selections. The market also offers prepared foods and catering capability and features a 50 seat café.
The original Fairway Market was founded in 1940 by Howard Glickberg's grandfather, Nathan Glickberg, as a fruit and vegetable store on the site of the current Fairway Market on West 74th Street in Manhattan. In addition, Fairway has locations in Harlem and Plainview, Long Island. Harold Seybert and David Sneddon co-own the markets with Howard Glickberg.
"Everything about this project is exciting, and it's great to be an integral part of the renaissance of Red Hook," said Howard Glickberg. "The architectural beauty of this 150-year-old building and its waterfront setting will only enhance the shopping experience for our customers. We are proud to bring Brooklyn the finest foods available, at the absolute best prices in this spectacular location overlooking the Statue of Liberty and the New York City skyline."
The new Fairway is not just for residents of Brooklyn. Manhattan residents will be able to travel to the new Market by water on weekends when New York Water Taxi will run ferry service from Battery Park, World Financial Center, South Street Seaport and other Manhattan stops right to the dock outside store. The seven minute ride, which is partially subsidized by Fairway, will cost $5 each way.
The new Fairway Market is joining a number of other projects that are bringing new life and jobs to the Brooklyn Waterfront. Last month, the Queen Mary 2 was the first ship to berth at the City's new $56 million Brooklyn Cruise Terminal. North of the cruise terminal on Piers 1-6, the City and State are investing $150 million to create Brooklyn Bridge Park, replacing obsolete piers with a vibrant public space and reconnecting the community to New York Harbor. To the South in Sunset Park, the City reached an agreement with Lafarge North America, in 2003, one of the world's largest cement distribution companies, to develop a new facility on the 25th Street Pier. In 2004, the City signed agreements with Sims Hugo Neu Company and the Axis Group to develop a marine-based recycling center and an automobile processing facility at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal in Sunset Park. Combined with the Fairway development, these projects are bringing more than 920 jobs and more than $330 million in public and private investment to the Brooklyn waterfront.
