You know that Bob Cole line from last year's playoff, "Everything is happening"? Today, on the most over-hyped occasion of the year, someone should pull the esteemed gent away from his afternoon rum to declare the opposite, because if there was ever a day that seemed likely to leave people wondering where the time went, it will be this one. Thankfully, after the Jets, and most other teams, do absolutely nothing of consequence by 2 PM, we'll have a game to watch featuring the return of Jets 1.0's historic nemesis.
I'll get to the game shortly, but first, a brief review of where the club should be adding depth, in the unlikely event of a trade that has any effect on the main roster. It's been screamingly obvious for most of this season that the Jets were a couple of legitimate forwards short of a proper top nine. The GST line have spent the year stuck in Manny Malhotra land, playing the toughs, starting in their own end entirely too often, and by their sacrifice, allowing the Jets' better players a crack at the high ground. That noted, those guys really have no business playing top nine minutes, earnest as they've been in their endeavours.
To be competely fair to Kevin Cheveldayoff, the roster holes in question that have forced this situation on Claude Noel should have filled by Fehr and Miettinen, since both had enough pedigree coming into the year that suggested they could at least hold their own playing top nine minutes. The duo make just under $4M combined, and the productivity Winnipeg has received from both guys has been sub-replacement level.
In Fehr's case, this has been a season utterly lost due to injury and recovery. It would be one thing if he were generating opportunities and not cashing them, since variance can leave any player in a dry spell, but he's driven nothing at all this year in some pretty soft minutes, and has been a deserved denizen of in the press box as of late. I can't imagine Winnipeg qualifying him, and in all honesty, he should have been waived at some point during the season. I suspect if he weren't a local, that would have been the case, but maybe that's just my cynicism at work.
Miettinen was waived on Friday, and his tale is roughly the same as Fehr's, although he's had some tougher minutes in his stint with the team, and at least gives the appearance of a player that might create a bit of offence before I retire in 12 1/2 years. Still, he was another gamble to add cheap help that's gone a glimmer, and that leaves the club where they are today.
As a result, a team that finds themselves on the edge of the playoffs could use a couple of live bodies up front. The issue, of course, is that the Jets have virtually nothing in the hopper that would get them a useful forward absent their first rounder, and selling that for the chaff that's on the market today is likely to be a poor bet for a team that still needs to fill holes left behind by Don Waddell's decade of incompetence.
The one player that could be moved for more than future considerations in 2076 is Johnny Oduya. He's a bottom pairing guy at this point if the Jets have everyone available, but he's a decent enough skater that he might be of interest to the teams that are short a D or two, and the fact that Winnipeg is alive in the race shouldn't deter Cheveldayoff from moving him if a team comes calling. Chicago is the club that might be most interested, because they look dire right now, and I can't imagine that Bowman wouldn't like one more defender, even if that player is prone to the occasion mental lapse. Pierre Lebrun's view is that the Swede is as good as gone, so we'll see if 29 is headed elsewhere by mid-afternoon.
At any rate, I'm not really expecting much else of note to emanate from the team offices. This was always going to be a year of assessment and reflection for the club's management, and although the air-tight nature of communication from True North leaves open the possibility of a non-trivial deal no one is anticipating, I'm not expecting much to be different when I head to MTS Centre this eveing to watch them joust with the evil-doers from Alberta.
Ah, the Oilers. Before they were the go-to team for jokes about management ineptitude and serial loserdom, the rotten bastards actually represented something of merit, and I'm not even talking about the glory days. In the NHL's dark years before the salary cap, Edmonton managed to ice respectable teams on a shoestring, as they often constructed a roster in the late 90's and early aughts that outplayed their pedigree.
The current version, of course, is all about the tank. Contrary to the nonsense that one hears from the ardent defenders of the Grease, the current rebuild is the second one they've undertaken since the summer of '06. The Pronger trade was the opening salvo in rebuild Mark One, and it culminated in the abject failure of 2009/10, when the Oilers finished last while being a cap team. Rebuild two is underway as we speak, and although the young men the Oilers have drafted since 2009 appear promising, the outcome is still very much up in the air.
Looking from the outside, Steve Tambellini's inability to identify useful veteran help on the back end appears to be the primary factor that has his squad in 29th place as of this morning. The Cam Barker signing last summer had only one possible outcome, and although he's allegedly in the lineup tonight absent a trade, his year has revealed him to be exactly what everyone with any sense thought he was. He's a perfectly nice young man that happened to belong to my golf club here in the Peg for a couple of years, but honesty compels me to note that he's a slow footed 7th D that should be making much nearer the minimum, or maybe someone that should be playing one level lower.
It's not all bad on the veteran front, though, as Ales Hemsky agreed to terms on Friday night to a decent deal for both sides. I like the guy as a player, and I think the Oilers did the right thing by holding the term down given his injury history. The over-under on that deal working in my estimation is about 130, as in games played. If he's out there 65 nights a year or more, Edmonton will get fair value based on his likely production.
Should Hemsky's contract end with a games played total much below that, it will appear as an overpay, but all things considered, the contract is a fair gamble on both sides. The Oilers aren't exactly heavy on guys that can hold their own against good players, and Hemsky has a lengthy pedigree of doing precisely that. I know that playing young guys seems like a cool thing to do, but it's a one way street to being in the lottery every year if the mix isn't leavened with solid pros that understand the game without the puck.
The Oilers might get a bit of a break tonight if Claude Noel holds to his pattern of using GST versus the other club's top scorers. The normal run of play for Edmonton on the road is for teams to play their best against Eberle and the Nuge, which exposes the holes in their games when they aren't on the attack. The Oilers have struggled when teams have gone that route, and while most coaches don't break their tendencies this late in the year, having Little-Ladd-Wheeler out there against those two would be wise, in my view. Wheeler is killing it as of late, and his size and speed would make a matchup against the Oiler kids a difficult one.
Game time is 7:30, with coverage on TSN Jets. The Nation will be providing deadline coverage as well, and I'll have capsule reviews of any deals of note for the Jets as they happen.
Edit, 11:22 am: The Jets claimed Grant Clitsome via waivers from Columbus. He's a useful bottom pairing guy on a relatively cheap deal, and if nothing else gives the team a bit of flexibility heading into this afternoon should they choose to unload Oduya or Jones. It's a decent gamble on Cheveldayoff's part.

BAR/BRI & Kaplan Sued Under Antitrust Law over Secret Agreements
Bar/Bri & Kaplan have been sued under antitrust laws for having a secret agreement to stay out of each others markets so that they could overcharge for their product. Anyone who's ever taken Bar/Bri knows they paid far too much.
LawCrossing Article: BAR/BRI And Kaplan Class Action:
A complaint filed against BAR/BRI bar review and the West Publishing Corporation and Kaplan, Inc., in Los Angeles, claims more than 300,000 lawyers and law students were each charged an estimated $1,000 extra for bar review courses.
The April 29 lawsuit against the country's biggest bar exam and LSAT preparation companies, filed as a class-action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, alleges that BAR/BRI and test-preparation company Kaplan, Inc., agreed to illegally dividing the LSAT and bar exam test-preparation market.
The suit claims that under the alleged agreement, BAR/BRI withdrew from the LSAT preparation business and Kaplan agreed not to enter the bar-review course market. The complaint charges that "without substantial competition, BAR/BRI's net prices per student then increased substantially in most states." It claims that from 1997 to the present, Kaplan and BAR/BRI "have concealed their conspiracy to divide the market." The lawsuit claims BAR/BRI students were overcharged about $300 million since August 1997 and said customers may deserve $1,000 each in refunds.
"I do think it's curious that there's a single dominant provider nationwide," said Eric Goldman, a law professor at Marquette University Law School. "There's no indicia that the bar exam-preparation market is a natural monopoly, and most other test-prep areas have competition. So why is there only one dominant vendor in the bar exam-preparation area?"
"[BAR/BRI] seems to be the school-sanctioned choice, and I don't know anyone who has signed up for another method," said Oskin.
Rod Borlase is an attorney-mediator and said law students have been easy targets for exploitation because they often buy into the intense competitive nature of law school and of bar- and other prep courses.
"Practice aids throughout law school, particularly first year, then bar review courses after graduation—it's just one blood-sucking vulture after another," said Borlase. "On the other hand, I wouldn't want to take a bar exam without a review course, although I know some who have successfully."

MTV has released the extended trailer for the third season of Teen Mom 2, which was filmed over a year ago. The problem with documenting these young women's lives for a reality show is that they're now celebrities, so their lives are actually documented in real time through tabloid stories, paparazzi shots, arrest records, and their own Twitter accounts. Sitting on footage for over a year means that this new season will be super out of date and will hold no real surprises.
These girls' circumstances change drastically on a week-to-week basis, so that the lives they were living over a year ago barely resemble the lives they're living now. When we last saw Leah, she was in a troubled marriage, struggling to make ends meet, and focused on getting a diagnosis for her special needs child. Since then, she's gotten divorced, pregnant, had a miscarriage and then got married and pregnant again. And since then, she's become a Republican who doesn't believe in government assistance, which happens to coincide nicely with the fact that she no longer needs it. Her new husband, according to her, is raking it in. But the new season of the show will only show a fraction of that.
And then there's Jenelle. She got engaged, got tits, got back with Kieffer, had a nude picture scandal, and got arrested again—not once, not twice, but four times!
It will be nice to see Barb again, though.

Is Ubuntu 10.10 the perfect rescue distro?
Although I am not particularly a fan of Ubuntu, in my quest to find the perfect rescue distro, I decided to download the Meerkat Live CD and give it a try. One never knows...maybe Canonical discovered the philosopher's stone.
A rescue distro is what I call a GNU/Linux distribution that can help a computer user backup, restore, and modify files from other OSs sitting on different partitions. That is, a rescue distro does not need to be installed to achieve that purpose, otherwise most Linux distros would do the trick. Another characteristic that I ascribe to a rescue distro is its ease of use: a plain computer user should be able to resort to it without a great deal of effort or technical training.
Can the Meerkat enter the arena and claim the crown? To discover Ubuntu's potential as a rescue distro, I ran my newly-downloaded distro and
I found that the fast boot claim is true, even for a Live CD. The Meerkat started in less than 1:45 minutes, beating my install of SimplyMEPIS 8.5 and the boot of Mandriva 2010.1 ONE in Live mode (which takes a lot longer). There is a catch, however. Even though you see the familiar aubergine desktop, it is not ready for use: you get the installation/trial screen next. So, I chose "try" and the boot up sequence got a little prolonged. I could use the system after 3 minutes had elapsed. That is rather fast for a Live CD in my opinion.
Unfortunately, I cannot say anything about what new features Ubuntu brings for I am not familiar with this Linux distribution. I was not crazy about the wallpaper, but it was not so disturbing as the one I had seen Ubuntu fans criticize so much. I had also heard that this Ubuntu release would bring LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.org, but I saw the latter.
Positive Side: performance and software
I liked the fact that you get an automatic preview of .ogg sound files by just hovering over the icon (this feature does not work with MP3s, though).
Firefox (3.6.10) runs fast, too. The dictionary is a nice add-on. Hibernation seems to be working (I am not sure because I was running a Live CD, but the computer reacted as it should have). Both my USB card reader and my MP4 player were supported. Wired network connectivity was perfect.
Negative Side: performance
Interestingly, Ubuntu Software Center crashed when I was just browsing the options the first time I used the Live CD (I tried to replicate the crash unsuccessfully, so maybe it was an isolated problem).
Although other partitions are mounted, the Meerkat did not let me delete files from any of them. I can copy files to a Windows partition from Ubuntu 10.10, but it is impossible to copy to or delete files from my Mandriva partition and, therefore, I must conclude that the Maverick Meerkat does not outperform SimplyMEPIS 8.0 for rescuing a troubled OS in Live mode. Maverick Meerkat might be very good to recover files from Windows in Live mode, but it did not work with a Linux system like Mandriva.
I must keep looking.

Canonical is working hard on Ubuntu. Still, it caught my eye you couldn't access your other Linux partitions from it.ResponderEliminar
Anyway, I'll try to check it out...after I give Vector a try.
Actually, I can access Mandriva, but since I cannot delete files from this OS (or copy to it), there is not much I can do if I use Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD.ResponderEliminar
Thanks for the Maverick Meerkat CD. I tested it already. Since my desktop PC has less than 1Mb of RAM, it didn't boot so fast, but it was still less than 2 mins. It got my wired connection right away and its performance was neat and fast. I got two problems though: nautilus crashed twice when closing a window (no big deal there) and Meerkat didn't give me any sound.ResponderEliminar
You probably get an automatic preview for .ogg files because of whatever media player you're using. Take an mp3 song and change the properties so it's recognized by whatever playes your .ogg files on default. I did this for rhythmbox in 10.04 and it plays previews for all of them now.ResponderEliminar

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. Navy sailors will have their breath tested beginning in February in a drive to reduce alcohol abuse, fleet officials said in a joint statement.
Breathalyzer testing will begin Feb. 4, with all service members being tested by May, the Navy Times reported.
In a statement issued by both Fleet Forces and Pacific Fleet, Adm. Bill Gortney and Adm. Cecil Haney said, "We must educate service members on the responsible use of alcohol and deter alcohol abuse in the fleet, in home part and on deployment."
Service members who report to duty drunk "place themselves, their shipmates and our equipment at risk," they wrote Tuesday.
A pilot program was conducted last year and was expected to be roll out fleetwide before 2013.
The move was announced in March 2012 to curb binge drinking in the fleet.
The testing will be non-punitive. Policies and procedures for the program were expected to be released shortly.

Economist: Copyright Is An Antiquated Relic That Has No Place In The Digital Age
from the modern-mercantilism dept
Near the top of the list of the Pirate Party's demons is copyright protection, and rightly so. Copyright protection is an antiquated relic of the late Middle Ages that has no place in the digital era. It is debatable whether such government-granted monopolies were ever the best way to finance the production of creative and artistic work, but now that the internet will allow this material to be instantly transferred at zero cost anywhere in the world, copyrights are clearly a counter-productive restraint on technology.Baker goes on to suggest some alternative means to fund such creative works in a world without copyright, including ideas like "artistic freedom vouchers" that would give people a refundable tax credit on supporting creativity, on the condition that any of the creativity funded by such money would not be able to protect it with copyright for a period of time. I find such program interesting, though I do wonder if they'd even be necessary. As we've been seeing over and over again, all sorts of interesting new business models are springing up that have nothing to do with copyright. As there is demand for creativity, I fully expect more and more such models to continue to show up as well. What I fear is that the focus by those who benefit excessively from the monopoly rents and protectionism of copyright, will lead to cutting off innovation or killing off interesting and more efficient business models, before they have a chance to evolve.
As every graduate of an introductory economics class knows, the market works best when items sell at their marginal cost. That means we maximize efficiency when recorded music, movies, video games and software are available to users at zero cost. The fees that the government allows copyright holders to impose create economic distortions in the same way that tariffs on imported cars or clothes lead to economic distortions.
The major difference is that the distortions from copyright protection are much larger. While tariffs on cars or clothes would rarely exceed 20-30 per cent, the additional cost imposed by copyright protection is the price of the product. Movies that would be free in a world without copyright protection can cost $20-$30. The same is true of video games, and the price of copyrighted software can run into the thousands of dollars.
Contrary to what some like to say about me, I am not convinced that copyright should be done away with completely. I do think that it needs significant reform. I just want that reform to be based on actual evidence and understanding of basic economics rather than faith and the demands of those who have benefited excessively from it, over those who have been held back because of it.

Hartford and Quinnipiac meet in the first game at 3 p.m., while Central Connecticut and Fairfield play the third game at 8 p.m. All three games will be televised on SportsNet New York (SNY), although the third game will be shown on tape delay at 9 p.m. John Holt will handle the play-by-play, while former Vermont coach Tom Brennan provides analysis.
The Bulldogs will feature a new look from last year's team that won 19 games and played in the CollegeInsider.com post season tournament. Greg Mangano and Reggie Willhite, who combined to take nearly half of the team's shots, have graduated. Head coach James Jones, though, is confident he has a number of players more than capable of filling the void created by the loss of Mangano and Willhite. Expect a much more balanced attack from the Bulldogs this season. Senior Austin Morgan (11.8 ppg.) is Yale's leading returning scorer. Michael Grace and Sam Martin are the only other seniors on the roster. Junior Jeremiah Kreisberg (7.7 ppg.) and sophomores Brandon Sherrod (4.0 ppg.) and Matt Townsend (1.3 ppg.) are the leading candidates to replace Mangano in the low post.
Yale and Sacred Heart are playing for the 12th straight year, and the Bulldogs lead the all-time series 7-4. Last year in Fairfield, Reggie Willhite and Greg Mangano combined for 44 points as Yale rallied from a nine-point deficit to defeat the Pioneers 73-71. The two teams are playing for the second time in the Connecticut 6 Classic. In 2009, Sacred Heart outscored Yale 92-86 at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport.
The Bulldogs earned their first victory in the Connecticut 6 Classic last year, knocking off Central Connecticut 73-69 at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Greg Mangano scored 23 points and added 13 rebounds, while Reggie Willhite contributed 21 points. Yale is 1-2 all-time in the classic. The Bulldogs fell to Sacred Heart 92-86 in 2009 and lost to Quinnipiac 84-75 in 2010.
The Pioneers feature one of the nation's top scorers in senior guard Shane Gibson, who finished fourth in Division I in scoring last year, averaging 22.0 points. He was recently named to CBS Sports' Top-30 "Under the Radar" List. Sacred Heart was picked to finish sixth in the Northeast Conference preseason poll. The Pioneers are returning four starters from last season's 14-18 squad. Gibson will be joined in the backcourt by junior point guard Evan Kelley, who averaged 7.3 ppg last season. Senior center Justin Swidowski is back after averaging 11.1 points and 5.3 rebounds a year ago. Juniors Chris Evans and Louis Montes are back as well and averaged 8.1 and 7.8 points per game, respectively, in 2011-12. Dave Bike is in his 35th year as the head coach of the Pioneers. The game against Yale will be the 1000th of his career.
The Bulldogs have finished fourth or better in the Ivy League in each of the last 12 years. That didn't earn Yale much respect in the preseason Ivy League media poll, which projected a sixth-place finish for the Bulldogs. Yale, though, has a history of proving the prognosticators wrong. In five of the last seven years, the Bulldogs have finished higher than projected. Princeton is the near unanimous favorite to win the league. The Tigers received 16 of the 17 first-place votes. Defending champion Harvard was picked second followed by Columbia, Cornell and Penn. Brown and Dartmouth round out the poll.
First-Place Votes in Parentheses

2. Harvard (1)......................................... 109

Senior Austin Morgan has earned a couple of preseason honors. He was named first team All-League by the Blue Ribbon College Yearbook and received second team recognition from College Sports Madness and Lindy's. Morgan, a two-year starter, is seventh all-time at Yale with 139 career three-pointers. Last year, he finished fifth in the nation and set a school record with a .900 free throw percentage. In addition, he finished ninth in the Ivy League in scoring (11.8 ppg.), fifth in three-point field goal percentage (.386) and sixth in three-point field goals made (2.1 per game). His 61 three-pointers tied for the fourth most in a season in school history.
Junior Jeremiah Kreisberg was named to the preseason third team by College Sports Madness. Kreisberg has started 47 games in his first two seasons. Last year, he started all 29 games and finished third on the team in rebounding (5.1 rpg.) and fourth in scoring (7.7 ppg.).
The 2012-13 Yale roster features four freshmen. Khaliq Bedart Ghani (Inglewood, CA), Jack Montague (Brentwood, TN), Justin Sears (Plainfield, NJ) and Nick Victor (Dallas, TX) all bring strong credentials. Bedart-Ghani led Loyola High School in California in rebounding and blocks as a senior last winter. Montague was the district, region and county most valuable player as a senior at Brentwood High School. He averaged 17.0 points and seven assists and scored more than 1,200 career points. Sears earned first team all-state, all-area and all-county honors as a senior at Plainfield High School in New Jersey. He scored 1,048 points and grabbed 1,063 rebounds in his career to become only the second player in school history to score over 1,000 points and grab more than 1,000 rebounds. He helped lead Plainfield to two New Jersey Tournament of Champion title games where it lost to national power St. Anthony's both times. Victor spent one year at the Winchendon School and earned NEPSAC honorable mention recognition. At Lovejoy High School in Dallas, Texas, he was the 2010 District most valuable player.
• The Bulldogs don't play their first home game until Saturday, Nov. 24 against Army at 2 p.m. That is the first of 12 games in the friendly confines of the John J. Lee Amphitheater.
• Yale will be playing in the NABC Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. The first game will be next Monday at Saint Joseph, the Atlantic 10 preseason favorite. The Bulldogs then head to Evansville, Ind., for three games, against Evansville, Buffalo and Western Illinois.
• New England rival New Hampshire is on the schedule for the first time since 1998. The Bulldogs meet the Wildcats on Dec. 8 in Durham, N.H.
• Yale faces a very challeging three-game road trip right after Christmas. The Bulldogs travel to Nevada, Saint Mary's and Iowa State. The trip to Nevada is a homecoming for Reno native Austin Morgan, while the trip to Iowa State is a homecoming for Ames, Iowa, native Jesse Pritchard.
• The biggest test of the season, though, may come in Lee Amphitheater when preseason No. 10 Florida visits on Jan. 6. The Gators return three starters from a squad that went 26-11 and fell one game shy of the Final Four last year.
• The Florida game is one of two in the Amphitheater that will be nationally televised. The NBC Sports Network will be in town for the game with the Gators, while CBS Sports Television will show the home game with Harvard on Feb. 23.
• Yale kicks off Ivy League play on Jan. 19 at Brown. Five of the first six Ivy games will be on the road.
Reggie Willhite, the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year last year as a senior at Yale, was selected in the fifth round of the 2012 NBA Development League Draft on Nov. 2. Willhite was selected by the Reno Bighorns with the fifth pick in the fifth round. He was the 70th player chosen overall. Willhite becomes the second Yale player to be drafted by a D-League team. Alex Zampier '10 was chosen in the seventh round of the 2012 draft by the New Mexico Thunderbirds. Willhite enjoyed an outstanding career for the Bulldogs. His 132 career steals are the seventh most in school history. As a senior, he earned second team All-Ivy recognition, set a single-season school record with 65 steals and was 17th in the nation in steals (2.24 per game). Willhite joins a long list of players that have earned professional opportunities during James Jones' tenure as the head coach at Yale. Ted Smith (England), Matt Minoff (Israel), Paul Vitelli (Italy), Dominick Martin (Spain), Matt Kyle (Portugal), Caleb Holmes (Iceland), Ross Morin (Switzerland), Eric Flato (England), Greg Mangano (Turkey) and Edwin Draughan (France) have all played overseas. Zampier and Neil Yanke (tryout with Los Angeles Lakers) both had opportunities in the United States.

EVERETT, WA -- Fluke Corporation, the global leader in electrical test and measurement technology, has acquired California-based Reliable Power Meters (RPM) for an undisclosed price. The sale of the leading manufacturer of power quality monitoring and analysis technology was finalized on April 15.
"Fluke has been active in the power quality market for many years," noted Jim Lico, president of Fluke. "But to this point our products have been designed solely for single phase applications. The acquisition of RPM positions us well in the three-phase segment of the power quality market. Like us, RPM has a strong commitment to their customers. They listen to the customer, and then deliver products and services that go beyond the customer's expectations."
Founded in 1992 by a group of industry veterans, RPM products allow its customers to monitor and analyze power flow and quality. This provides valuable data which can be used to point out existing problems as well as identify potential future problems before they occur. RPM's products are used in the utilities, industrial and commercial markets. Its customer base includes such well-known companies as American Express, Fidelity Investments, America OnLine, and EDS Corporation. The operation of these companies is reliant on massive data centers which must be accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"What we offer our customers is a set of comprehensive products including portable and permanently-installed three-phase power monitors that employ Full Disclosure™ measurement technology that eliminates the guesswork of manually set thresholds," said RPM President Robert Moore, a company founder. "Power quality monitoring and analysis instrumentation is a highly competitive market. By joining the Fluke Corporation we have access to tremendous resources that will also benefit our customers. This includes Fluke's world-class engineering, manufacturing and marketing expertise. Their product line is highly complementary to ours. In fact, we've been selling a Fluke handheld power quality analyzer for several years."
Fluke plans to integrate RPM's product line into its Electrical Products organization. Moore will continue as the organization's president through June, after which he will be on an extended consulting contract to facilitate the organization's transition into Fluke. There are no immediate changes planned for RPM's worldwide network of sales, service and technical support services. RPM products will continue to be marketed and sold out of the RPM office in Los Gatos.
"RPM is a well run company," noted Lico. "We plan to build on the strengths they've created in the area of service and support, while adding value through technologies that help customers meet their power quality needs."
In 1997, research firm Frost & Sullivan identified RPM as a leading supplier of power monitoring equipment and as the market leader in transportable power quality instrumentation in 1999. More recently, Frost & Sullivan awarded RPM its 2002 Technology Marketing Innovation Award for its Full Disclosure measurement technique.
For more information on RPM, visit www.reliablemeters.com. Fluke Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Danaher Corporation (NYSE: DHR), is a world leader in the development and manufacture of compact, professional electronic test tools. Fluke products are used by technicians and engineers in service, installation, maintenance, manufacturing test and quality functions in a variety of industries throughout the world. Founded in 1948, Fluke has more than 2,400 employees worldwide and distributes its products in over 100 countries. The company's international headquarters are in Everett, WA, USA, with European sales and service headquarters located in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. For more information contact Fluke Corporation, P.O. Box 9090, Everett, WA USA 98206, call (800) 44-FLUKE, fax (425) 446-5116, or visit www.Fluke.com.

Steel the Spotlight (NYC)
"Well, you know what they say: if you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit by me!" The Academy Award-winning actress behind this famous Steel Magnolias quote is coming to Pace!
If you don't know her from Steel Magnolias, maybe her infamous "don't sh*t where you eat" Moonstruck quote is what you remember her by. In any case, Performing Arts at Pace presents The Masters Series: An Evening with Olympia Dukakis on Monday, November 25.

A Hood River man accused of sexually abusing horses has been released from jail following the approval of a plea deal.
Jose Guadalupe Chaires Barrios, 49, of Hood River, was sentenced last week to 24 months of probation by Hood River County Circuit Court Judge Alan Wolf after pleading guilty to charges of sex abuse of an animal as well as second-degree criminal trespassing. According to Chaires' court-appointed attorney, Brian Starns, Chaires entered the property of Denny and Tammy Armacost at 4715 Portland Drive "without permission and suspicions were aroused involving a horse or multiple horses," which Chaires is accused of having sexual contact with between Sept. 25 and Sept. 30. The nature of the sexual contact was not discussed in court.
In addition to those charges, Chaires also pleaded to second degree criminal mischief for an incident where he "damaged the screen window owned by Gail and Blake Palen" at their Reed Road property between May 1 and July 1, according to Starns. Chaires also pleaded guilty to a charge of contempt of court for violating the terms of a restraining order filed against him by his ex-wife. Chaires also pleaded guilty for failing to perform duties of a driver when he lost control of his vehicle June 10, according to court documents, and damaged some property on Portland Drive, which Starns said consisted of a fence, and "did not perform all the duties required of a driver."
For all the charges, Judge Wolf sentenced Chaires to 24 months of supervised probation, 160 hours of community service, $700 in fines, $250 in court-appointed attorney fees, ordered Chaires to have no contact with the Armacosts, Palens, and his ex-wife and to stay 500 yards away from the Palen and Armacost properties, to obey all restraining orders, to not drive without valid license or insurance, not use or possess any intoxicants, to obtain a mental health evaluation and complete any recommended treatment, to not own or have any contact with any animals, and "to not be on Portland Drive or Reed Street."
Chaires may also be required to pay restitution to the Armacosts and the Palens, who Rasmussen said installed security cameras on their properties after the incidents. Rasmussen noted that though Chaires is not being charged with sex abuse of animal in the Palen case, she mentioned that Blake Palen has "noticed serious behavioral problems with at least one or more of his horses," which he attributed to Chaires' conduct.
"He's very alarmed by it and alarmed also by the sense of safety that they've lost in their home, and farm," Rasmussen said of Palen, "and frankly it's good that it was resolved in this manner because I think it's a very real possibility that Mr. Chaires could have been seriously physically injured given that Mr. Palen was essentially feeling like he had to hide in his barn to look after his horses; he's not the only one that's felt that way in the community. I think Mr. Chaires needs to be on notice that there are folks that are protecting property and rightfully, that includes possessing weapons and there's very much a heightened awareness of this going on in the community."
Rasmussen added that Tammy Armacost was also "extremely upset" by what happened with her animals.
"A lot of these people feel about their horses like they're children and I think Mrs. Palen and others don't like the way that I've agreed to resolve this case," she explained. "They feel that not enough is happening in this case and I've had to meet with them and explain these are only misdemeanors."
Rasmussen added that the only "sympathy" victims felt in these cases was toward "the defendant's own children, who have to live and go to school in this community with their dad doing this stuff."
Chaires, who attended the proceedings via video screen from the Northern Oregon Regional Correctional Facility in The Dalles, spoke with the aid of a Spanish translator, but said little. When given the opportunity to speak about the case at the conclusion of the proceedings, Chaires declined.
Judge Wolf wished Chaires good luck, but cautioned that there would "likely be severe sanctions" if he violated the terms of his probation.
"I hope you take this opportunity with regard to the treatment and take advantage of that," Wolf said.

Nearly two years ago, 14-year-old Josseline Janiletta Hernández Quinteros cross-ed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally. She and her 10-year-old brother, both from El Salvador, joined a group led by a paid guide, known as a coyote, with hopes of meeting up with their mother, who lived in California. Along the way, Josseline fell ill and the group left her behind.
Her brother wanted to stay with her, but Josseline told him he needed to keep going. He needed to make it to see his mother, she told him. Josseline said she'd be all right—she was his big sister, after all.
Josseline died in the desert alone. Her body lay in a river basin for three months until Dan Millis, a volunteer with the humanitarian group No More Deaths, stumbled across it. Millis was hiking through the rough desert with three other volunteers leaving water for illegal immigrants.
"We were doing a regular supply job," he said. The group, which searches for migrants in need of medical assistance, also leaves behind food, water and socks at designated locations along migrant trails. Two days after Millis found Josseline's body, federal law enforcement officials ticketed him for littering after he left supplies behind on the Buenos Aires National Wildlife Refuge on the U.S.-Mexico border.
"We're obviously not going to be deterred by these bogus littering tickets," he said. "The biggest threat to human life out in the desert is lack of water, so we continue to put it out in the desert."
Millis was tried and convicted, but not sentenced. The group is appealing the case. "We thought it was an anomaly," Millis said.
But it wasn't. On Dec. 4, 2008, another No More Deaths volunteer, Walt Staton, received an identical citation while on the refuge. A 12-member jury convicted Staton in June.
Defying Staton's conviction, 13 humanitarians from No More Deaths, Tucson Samaritans and Humane Borders went out to the wildlife refuge to leave behind water jugs for migrants. All 13, including Jerome Zawada, a Franciscan priest, received tickets for littering.
The Tucson 13, Father Zawada said, told officials of their intention before arriving at the refuge. Federal officials were waiting for them when they arrived. "We put the water down and were walking away," the Franciscan priest said. "They asked us if we were going to pick it up. We told them we weren't. So they wrote us tickets and put the water jugs in the back of their trucks as evidence."
The 13 were scheduled for court Nov. 11, but the trial has been postponed until 2010. In the meantime, the group has been meeting with officials from the wildlife refuge to work out where they can leave water.
The number of deaths this year, 206 according to some estimates, is a drastic increase from 183 in 2008—with Josseline among them. What makes the increase even more tragic, according to No More Deaths volunteers, is that the total number of migrants crossing has actually decreased because of the U.S. recession.
"Without any kind of actual legal path for people to come into the country—without any reform—it pushes people to more and more treacherous terrain," said Jeffrey Boyce of No More Deaths.

This is the most fun I've ever had baking bread. It looks great and it makes your home smell amazing. If I were selling a house, I would bake this before people came to view it...challah is house selling bread.
I have to admit I knew very little about challah before I started looking into a recipe for my challenge this week. If you have been watching Great British Bake Off you'll know they did celebration loaves for the showstopper this week. There were brioches and a Christmas wreath but no challah.
Challah is a Jewish plaited loaf eaten on the Sabbath and holidays. The recipe makes two loaves which "commemorates the manna that fell from the heavens when the Israelites wandered in the desert for forty years after the Exodus from Egypt". I love it when baking can teach you something completely new. Each loaf is made up of six strands, which together represent each tribe of Israel. (Thank you Wikipedia for teaching me in this instance).
The stages of these loaves feel almost ritualistic. It's comforting to make it and wonderful to know that people have been making it for thousands of years. It has a subtle sweetness to it and, when toasted, would be very similar to a toasted teacake. It feels like a very versatile bread, I took it to girl's brunch yesterday and made cinnamon french toast with it. Challah makes excellent french toast...seriously, really good french toast.
I had never plaited a loaf before. It was a little intimidating. With the help of this great video on youtube, I was able to get my head round it. What I found was that, about half way through plaiting it looks very much like it's not working but if you continue it suddenly looks great and you can pat yourself on the back for having mastered a 6-strand plait. Woohoo!
By the second loaf I felt as thought I'd mastered it but there were no more loaves to continue with...this is why I need a bakery so I can mass practice multi-strand plaited loaves all day.
Challah is typically sprinkled with sesame or poppy seeds but in my excitement at having mastered the plait I egg washed the loaves and forgot the poppy seeds...silly me.
(from The Smitten Kitchen)
Makes 2 loaves
Time: about 1 hour, plus 2 1/2 hours' rising
1 1/2 sachets active dry yeast (1 1/2 tablespoons or 11 grams)
1 tablespoon 100g sugar
118ml olive or vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the bowl
5 large eggs
1 tablespoon table salt
1kg plain flour (add another 60g gradually if your dough is a little wet)
70 g per challah loaf, if using, plumped up in hot water and drained
Poppy or sesame seeds for sprinkling
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar in 430ml lukewarm water.
- Whisk the oil into the yeast, then beat in 4 eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt. Gradually add flour. When dough holds together, it is ready for kneading.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. (It's quite a large amount of dough, a little too much for a standard KitchenAid so I would recommend kneading by hand for about 10-15 minutes). Clean out the bowl and grease it, then place the dough in the bowl and cover with cling film. Leave to rise in a warm place for 1 hour, until almost doubled in size. Punch down dough, cover and let rise again in a warm place for another half-hour.
- At this point, you can knead the raisins into the challah, if you're using them, before forming the loaves. To make a 6-braid challah, either straight or circular, take half the dough and form it into 6 balls. Watch this video or have a go at these written instructions: With your hands, roll each ball into a strand about 12 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. Place the 6 in a row, parallel to one another. Pinch the tops of the strands together. Move the outside right strand over 2 strands. Then take the second strand from the left and move it to the far right. Take the outside left strand and move it over Move second strand from the right over to the far left. Start over with the outside right strand. Continue this until all strands are braided. For a straight loaf, tuck ends underneath. For a circular loaf, twist into a circle, pinching ends together. Make a second loaf the same way. Place braided loaves on a greased cookie sheet with at least 2 inches in between.
- Beat remaining egg and brush it on loaves. Either freeze breads or let rise another hour.
- If baking immediately, preheat oven to 190 degrees C/ 375 F and brush loaves again. Sprinkle bread with seeds, if using. If freezing, remove from freezer 5 hours before baking.
- Bake in middle of oven for 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden. Cool loaves on a rack.
Note: Any of the three risings can be done in the fridge for a few hours, for more deeply-developed flavor. When you're ready to work with it again, bring it back to room temperature before moving onto the next step.

Working as the Oregon brand ambassador for Lucas Bols, I spend much of my time promoting Bols Genever. However I also work with one of our other brands, the ubiquitous Italian liqueur Galliano. Both present interesting challenges. With genever we're introducing people to an entire category of spirits with which they may be unfamiliar. With Galliano, the spirit is familiar sometimes to the point of neglect. A friend of mine jokes that buying a bottle of Galliano is a condition of getting a liquor license; it seems like every bar has it, but they don't reach for it as often as they could.
When I talk to the public about Galliano, three associations come up repeatedly. One is of course the Harvey Wallbanger. Another is people sneaking pours from their parents' giant Galliano bottles when they were underage. Or lastly, if a person had been to bartending school, they remember that if a drink is ordered "against the wall," that means it's served with Galliano. I'm pretty sure this nomenclature derived from the Wallbanger, but one guy was certain of his alternative theory: Because 750 ml Galliano bottles are too tall to fit on some bar shelves, they're stored "against the wall" instead. Probably wrong, but points for creativity!
To be fair, there's a good reason the spirit has been overlooked in recent years. Previous owners of the brand moved production to France and altered the recipe, taking it down to 60 proof and making it much less complex. Those older bottlings are far too sweet. Bols, however, has taken the brand back to its original home in Livorno, Italy and restored its quality. It's now back above 80 proof and much more complex, with some 30 herbs, spices, and extracts going into it. If you haven't tasted it in a while, it's worth giving it a new try. I was skeptical myself, but it really is a vast improvement over the French product. Look for the bottles with red trim and "L'Autentico" on the label.
The most famous Galliano cocktail is the Harvey Wallbanger, basically a Screwdriver with Galliano floated on top. A close second is the Golden Cadillac, a blend of Galliano, white crème de cacao, and half-and-half, sold in unimaginable quantities at Poor Red's BBQ in El Dorado, California. This was a guilty pleasure of mine as far back as my DC days. Sweet, yes, but also delicious.
Recently I've been challenging some Portland mixologists to come up with new Galliano cocktails. Here are two of my favorites. The first is from Adam Robinson at Park Kitchen. He served this is as the opening drink at the cocktail pairing dinner that kicked off Portland Cocktail Week and it was a hit. He calls it the RCA cocktail, since the three ingredients are red, white, and yellow, like an RCA cable:
1.5 oz Cocchi Americano
1.5 oz Sanbitter soda
.5 oz Galliano
Stir with ice and strain into a rocks glass. Express a lemon zest over the drink and discard. This is a great aperitivo, low in alcohol but with lots of flavor and fantastic color from the Sanbitter soda.
Another drink I really like is the Livorno Buck from Dave Shenaut at Beaker and Flask:
.75 oz Galliano
.75 oz gin
.75 oz dry vermouth
.75 oz lime juice
ginger beer
Shake the first four ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled collins glass. Top with ginger beer and serve. It's balanced and refreshing, a good long drink for sitting outside in the summer.
Have another good drink "against the wall?" Let me know in the comments.

I recently started teaching at a small home school. I had no idea what I was getting into until I started teaching "Biology" <--- note the quotations! I opened up the book expecting to find hard facts and good lessons but instead it started off by saying how all animals were created on the 5th day. *Cue immediate facepalm* Now I'm supposed to read this to my class, which took some hard effort and displacement of my consciousness. I felt like such a fraud!
But THEN I came across a small paragraph titled "Proof of creationism". It discussed how the salt from the oceans is gathered from the rivers and streams that run from the mountains to the oceans, and how the water picks up the salt from the sand and rock it runs over. Then they go on to say that if the world was in fact billions of years old then the oceans would be a lot saltier, so therefore creationism! I just couldn't teach my class that. There was absolutely NO WAY! So I conveniently skipped it and went on to teach them what little hard facts there were in the book without the "If god hadn't created these creatures with this... " and "Praise god for giving us this creature!" Is it a bad thing that I choose to skip the god stuff? Am I supposed to be teaching them lies if that's what I'm told to do?
I must say though, that I have never heard that argument before. It's usually the "Without god you would kill people" and "Then where did everything come from?" arguments, not salty oceans! I'm not even sure I would know how to respond if a theist approached me with that.
Views: 783
I need new spectacles. I thought you'd typed "It can prevent buggery". I must have been misled by the context.
I would daresay that what you are doing would not be considered teaching, but reciting, or reading aloud. No offense to you, but I couldn't do it. At the very least, if I disagreed with something, I would have to present the counter-evidence, or perhaps even get the kids thinking themselves by the Socratic method.
And while I don't know your particular situation, I can say that I personally would rather be homeless than to be a part of propagating such a forced curriculum on vulnerable minds.
The moles, liters, grams, dilution and stuff make scientific sense, but it doesn't address the question of why salt levels don't keep building up. But damn, I just had an idea...
There are places where seawater goes, and then dries up, leaving behind salt ponds and salt flats! Very little of that salt returns to the sea, but the evaporated water does. I don't know what the numbers are, but I wouldn't be surprised if it explains most of the difference. Even our Great Salt Lake, now dry, played a part in that ancient history.
When theists present you with explanations as complicated as salt levels in the ocean, pause and think.
1) It's very much a left brain thing they're giving you, and
2) They don't do right brain stuff.
What does that tell you, if not that they are committed to their beliefs and attempts to reason with them will fail.
Take the damn hint and do something that benefits you ! ! ! ! !
My first impulse was that you should flat out quit (if you can), but then I thought that they'd just replace you with someone who wouldn't open up the class to discussion. You can tell the kids that just because something is in a book it doesn't follow that it's true. What's true is the world. A book is simply someone trying to make sense of it, Then get some critical thinking started.
I have very little say in what gets taught in the class. Firstly, the home schooling system that they are using dictates what should be learnt and from which books they should learn it from each day and as far as I understand it needs to be stuck to as closely as possible? I'm not quite sure as to how it works. Secondly, I am just temporarily replacing a teacher who is on maternity leave, she is the one who runs the home school (it is a tiny home school with a whole 4 students!) and I need to follow her curriculum as she has set the tests that they must take. As far as I can tell, none of the tests include any questions on god. Thirdly, a few children in the class have learning difficulties and trying to cater for them while making sure that everyone is understanding what I'm saying while getting through the work load is tough. We also barely have enough time in the day to get through the work we are supposed to, as the hours that the school is open for is ridiculously short. Trying to introduce more work or different work while leaving time open for debate is just not an option. I have approached the mothers to see if they can extend a few days to longer hours, but I work 2 jobs so I don't always have the time.
I'm so sorry your stuck with a dumb book i'm not sure about the laws or rules but i would say talk to the people and put up a good argument.

Julian Assange Moves Forward Plans To Run For Senate And Start A Wikileaks Political Party
from the governing-from-afar dept
Mr Assange said plans to register an Australian WikiLeaks party were ''significantly advanced''. He indicated he would be a Senate candidate, and added that "a number of very worthy people admired by the Australian public" have indicated their availability to stand for election on a party ticket.Yes, Julian Assange, currently confined to Ecuador's embassy, is going to start his own political party. While many have focused on the news that he's running for Senate, that's not actually new -- having been previously reported back in March. In case you thought you had somehow slept through news that the US had dropped its investigation of Wikileaks or that Sweden no longer wanted to extradite him, you haven't: both issues are existing issues that might, possibly, get in the way of Assange actually serving as an elected official. However, as a wider party, what would the Wikileaks party stand for?
He said a WikiLeaks party would advance WikiLeaks' objectives of promoting openness in government and politics, and it would combat growing intrusions on individual privacy.A laudable goal, and one that might find natural allies with The Pirate Party. Still, while (as with many things Assange-related) this has the feel of a publicity stunt, there's a chance that the more interesting idea is what will happen if the Wikileaks Party can really find others to be members and run for office:
If Mr Assange were elected but he was unable to return to Australia to take up his position, a nominee would occupy a Senate seat.So, perhaps the real goal is to have someone high profile, like Assange, spearhead the effort of building out a party focused on these issues, even if there's little chance he can actually serve. Well, that or this is another example of Assange being a genuine pain in the ass.

More from my Christmas Journal. This entry was all about wrapping presents etc. We were given a suggestion for how to do the page in the prompt, but I wanted to do something a bit different that was my "own" design. Took me ages until I had an idea which I really liked. But this is the final result.
And I have made some of the presents so they fold down and reveal the journaling underneath. This page - it might not look like it - took me ages and ages to do because the little bows etc were very fiddly to make.
During the last few days I have received some questions in the "comments" section, so I thought I would try and answer them today. Here they are:
From Kat: Where do you store your inkpads? Well it might not be the best of things to use, but I like it. I have some of those little wooden drawers from IKEA which I have painted both with coloured acrylics and then with glitter acrylics (though this doesn't show very well in the photo).
They fit inkpads very nicely. Something like Staz'On etc fit perfectly width wise in the boxes. Also I love them for my Tim Holtz inks. Each drawer holds 12 inkpads - 3 piles of 4 - which is prefect since my complete set (24 inkpads in total) takes up exactly two of the little drawers.
From Heather: What is the little animal on the 3rd row of your Dec 8 Christmas journal entry? In Sweden it's very common to have straw goats (with red ribbon wrapped around them) for Christmas. They are called "julbock" and are a very old fashioned. I'm not quite sure where the tradition comes from but it's a very, very old tradition. Anyway, recently they have started making them in other shapes and dad got a straw pig for father's day once. Which has now become our "Christmas pig" and he lives under the tree at Christmas (the pig that is, not dad!! LOL!) This is a typical julbock:
From Lythan: What are the stamps used on the Dec 8 Christmas journal entry? I assume you mean the snowflakes. It's a "retro snowflake" set by Banana Frog. Hope that helps.

Mialca Mancebo - 5.0 Babe of the Month - September 2013
Are you BOTM Material?
This '07 GT isn't owned by Mialca Mancebo, but her husband, Michael, says she ends up with the keys every time it's unattended in the garage. When Michael suggested she pose for Babe of the Month, she was dressed and ready to go in a heartbeat. She even matched her shoes to the GT.
"I owned a Scion, strictly for gas mileage," Michael confessed. "I moved closer to work and set my eyes on a Mustang. I purchased an '03 Red Mustang GT 'vert with a white top and white interior. I loved that car, but it was an automatic. When she saw this '07, Mialca made me trade my '03 on the spot. She got in the car and drove away. It's my daily driver, but whenever it's in the garage, the keys mysteriously go missing."
These days, we'd like to get in that car and drive away. It's been modded significantly since the day Mialca first saw it. To improve its acceleration, Michael added FRPP 4.10 gears, a Pypes X-shape crossover, and a Pypes axle-back exhaust. Its appearance is enhanced by the addition of American Racing Wheels. Meanwhile, Mialca (or Michael) can zip through the corners thanks to Eibach Sportline springs and a J&M adjustable Panhard bar.
We know you've stopped reading by now, but if you think you know a gal that is BOTM material, well, you won't know if you don't get out from under the hood and take a picture of her with your Mustang—or better yet, hers. Send those pictures and a description of your babe and the car to: BOTM, 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords, 9036 Brittany Way, Tampa, FL 33619 or email@example.com.
