Revision as of 21:05, 30 August 2007
|In progress: This article or section documents one or more features whose implementation are in progress.
Until OpenMoko releases an official GUI-Tool to change settings, SettingsGUI allows you to set various settings of the gta01.
This programm is written in Python using pygtk. It can be used only if those are present in your environment.
(see SettingsGUI#Environment)
Current Features
- Screen (Backlight enable/disable, Backlight brightness, Screen Orientation)
- Audio (profile selection, volume)
- GSM (Restart gsmd, signal strength, provider, status)
Planned Features
- GSM (Provider selection)
- Bluetooth (device scanning, connection, signal strength)
- GPRS (select APN, display transfer rate)
- Battery (show capacity, voltage, charger-status)
Comment on GSM-Support
- As there are no gsmd python bindings available at the time, SettingGUI uses python-subprocess and threads to communicate to the commandline of libgsmd-tool for the time being.
Thanks to Alessandro there also is an .ipk and a .bb file. Have a look at his user site.
The following archives will have to be installed:
- python-core
- python-misc
- python-lang
- python-pygtk
- python-subprocess
- python-threading (should be a dependency of python-subprocess... ?)
- python-pygtk-dev (should not be needed... ?)
- python-pycairo-dev (should be a dependency of python-pygtk-dev and not be needed... ?)
If you want to test this and do not have a build environment, you can 'ipkg install' the python components from the ScaredyCat repositories.
|NOTE: These packages take up a considerable amout of space, make sure that you have enough free space or install the packages to the media card.
Installation / Execution
- download file to Neo (e.g. using wget)
- Uncompress tar.gz file (e.g. gzip -d file.tar.gz, then tar -xvf file.tar)
- run:
export DISPLAY=:0.0 python SettingsGUI-x.x/SettingsGUI.py &
Error on execution

This means you'll have to install python-pygtk-dev. For some reason python-pygtk does not allow "import gtk" in the current openembedded environment.

At this time next year you will be able to celebrate National Rum Day, which is Aug. 16, with your own bottle of Daufuskie Island Rum, distilled right on the scenic 5,000-acre barrier island.
Tony Chase, CEO of Daufuskie Island Rum Company LLC, admits his distillery venture began as a hunt for beachfront property.
"I began the process a little over a year ago," Chase says. "I was looking to buy a beach house. I probably looked at over 300 houses all up and down the coast. I ended up buying a place in Daufuskie in October. During my time at the house from April until now, I came up with the idea to create a distillery in Daufuskie."
Chase admits that being from Kentucky he is used to living in a place surrounded by distilleries. But starting his own liquor business was a new experience for this pharmacist and businesses owner.
"It's a pretty in-depth process," Chase explains. "First you have to have a state license and a federal license. A micro-distillery license is less expensive. But that license has some ups and downs.
"One of the bonuses of that license is that you can sell your product onsite at the micro-distillery. The downside is that there is a cap on production. But the cap is 1.5 million fifths per year. That's more than enough for us," Chase says.
"In the U.S., 189 million bottles of rum are sold each year. We just need a small piece of that."
Chase hopes to get the first bottle of white rum out in January. He also has 10 acres of land on the island that he wants to use to grow sugarcane to use in his product, too.
"The building we plan to use as the distillery will have an island look to it with a 500-square foot front porch with rocking chairs. The building is 2,000 square feet," Chase explains. "That's the initial size we will start at with the sincere hope to out-grow that. One hundred and twenty thousand bottles per year would max out the facility."
Chase says the white rum will debut first because it is quick to make.
"It takes about one week from start to finish. Gold rum takes a little longer, and we plan to age our gold rum in oak barrels. Actually, we are going to use Kentucky bourbon barrels which will give the rum a unique taste and color. That process takes about six months."
And Chase says he wants this to be a 100 percent American made business.
"I insist on everything we have from the building materials, to the bottles and the products we sell to be products made in the USA. The first bottles we got, I noticed they were made in France so I sent those back. The bottles we plan to use are made in New York."
Even though not a single drop of Daufuskie rum has been produced, the company is gaining a lot of attention through Daufuskie Island Rum Company's Facebook page and the adventures of Shotty, a Daufuskie rum shot glass whose travels have been featured on the company's social media page.
"We want to get him to travel to all 50 states," says Chase, who admits he has enlisted the help of friends to take Shotty on their travels.
"Many businesses have reached out to me to sell our product in their restaurants, too," he adds. "What really validated this for me is the fact that I could have financed all of this on my own, but I decided to sell investments. I already have over 75 percent sold to investors."
And it's not just outside investors who are excited about the new rum venture. Daufuskie Island businesses and homeowners have reached out to Chase to show their support, too.
"Everyone on the island is a buzz about it."

Affirmology needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 145 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
Affirmology.com is a free website which offers knowledge of how to overcome survival instincts to increase happiness. It is more science and common sense than new-age. This is a socially-responsible effort which will ultimately be supported by the sale of books and brand items.
I've been involved with design projects for many years. I am readily available and will be precise with my feedback. Feel free to ask questions.
Anyone with a web browser.
This design is for a startup website called "Affirmology.com". I'm looking for a logo that can be displayed in two ways:
- the letter "A" by itself
- the letter "A" in combination with the word "Affirmology.com" (The .com may be deemphasized.)
The design for the letter "A" should be simple, iconic, unique, and timeless. I would like it to suggest transformation -- from chaos into order.
The design should be suitable for everything: iphone app logo, lapel pin, t-shirt, mug, web banner. For something like a lapel pin, the design should specify a border, i.e. what is the shape of the pin beyond just letter "A". The border could be an integral part of the design (i.e. always required), or not. For a web banner, the design must integrate into a dark background.
The design should be delivered in vector graphics format (Corel Draw), and should reproduce in black and white as well as color.
Thank you for your interest. Let's work together to create a great design.

This story begins with frogs. A lily pad is a fine place to perch in the moonlight and broadcast mating calls if you're a frog, but the picturesque lily pond of a Monet painting is a cesspool of microorganisms. If you or I swam in similar water, we'd risk our lives.
How do frogs manage to live happily in filthy water? It's a simple question that no one asked until the 1980s when it intrigued a scientist named Michael Zasloff. In 1986 he found the answer the skin of a frog harbors armies of protein-like germ fighters. Zasloff isolated a molecule he named magainin Hebrew for "shield." Structurally like a protein only smaller just a few amino acids on a peptide chain magainin has the instincts of a secret service agent. Squads of these agents patrol a frog's skin, where they attack and destroy the cells of bacteria that threaten infection.
The discovery of magainin launched a worldwide wave of research that's still going. Since 1986 scientists have identified nearly 500 other anti-microbial peptides. They've learned that plants and animals, including some that lack the immune system of mammals, harbor a diverse collection of defensive peptides, and they've learned that each species has its own unique peptide arsenal, targeted to the bacteria, viruses and other pathogens of that species' environment.
The prospects to create new germ fighters from the model of mother nature's peptides are potentially boundless. Topping the list is the need for new antibiotics that can defeat the protean ability of bacteria to resist conventional penicillin-like antibiotics. That promise is especially tantalizing in that a range of studies show that bacteria have little or no ability to resist antimicrobial peptides.
But the practical obstacles are huge. "The big catch," says Michael Klein, Hepburn Professor of Physical Science at the University of Pennsylvania, "is you need 20 or 30 steps of organic synthesis to make these molecules, and you end up with such high cost that it's equivalent to grinding up diamonds."
Still other possibilities involve using molecules modeled on magainin and its cousins to create germ-resistant materials such as bandages that kill bacteria or toilet seats that sanitize themselves. With recent studies citing hospital-acquired infection as the fourth-leading cause of death in the United States, such possibilities and others antiseptic operating tables, surgical gowns, pillows and sheets provide a strong impetus for research.
Playing Copycat with Mother Nature
Initial efforts to mimic nature's molecular germ fighters led to several laboratory-synthesized peptides, one of which came from Klein's University of Pennsylvania colleague William DeGrado. While these synthetic peptides represent a step forward, they also come with built-in obstacles to practical use. "These natural peptides as well as their synthetic analogues are expensive to prepare and difficult to produce on a large scale," says DeGrado, George W. Raiziss Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics, "which limits their potential use."
Klein, who directs Penn's Center for Molecular Modeling, collaborated with DeGrado, providing theory-based molecular simulations to help guide his laboratory work. In 2001 these two scientists joined forces again to explore in a different, potentially more practical direction. "We posed a question," says Klein. "Can we mimic the peptide mimic with something that's cheap to make?" Based on initial results, the answer appears to be yes.
Klein and his co-workers Bin Chen and Robert Doerksen used LeMieux, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center's terascale system, to test the possibilities of creating a polymer an organic molecule easier to make than peptides structurally similar to magainin and with similar germ-fighting ability. With a series of computations, they developed an accurate computational model to forecast how the polymer would behave in the cellular environment.
With design guided by these computations, DeGrado's team Greg Tew, Dahui Lihui and Justin Kaplan synthesized this relatively simple polymer, called an arylamide. Lab tests show the arylamide has antibacterial action similar to magainin and other peptides. The good news of this work reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (April 2002) is that a feasible new pathway is now open to extend the range of mother nature's anti-microbial arsenal.
Two-Faced Molecules
What do nearly 500 different natural germ-killer peptides have in common? Like Janus, the Roman god of gates and doors, they face in and out at the same time. All these small anti-microbes can, when circumstances dictate, assume a shape in which, in chemical terminology, they're amphiphilic one side of the molecule avoids water (hydrophobic) while the other side likes it (hydrophilic).
This two-faced structure scientists believe is an essential part of how nature equips peptides to destroy bacterial cells. While the hydrophilic face turns out to the watery environs of the cell exterior, the hydrophobic face can attach to lipids, the oil-like molecules that form cell membranes, to pierce the membrane and create holes that eventually kill the cell.
To create a polymer with similar properties, DeGrado and Tew approached Klein and asked him to model a class of polymers with a fairly simple structure, called arylamides. "We were taking a further step away from the protein backbone as the structural model," says DeGrado, "which should give us good stability at reduced expense. We had a shape that we thought should be compatible with the biological activity we want. But this molecule could adopt many shapes, and the question was whether it's really happy in this shape, whether it's energetically favorable."
To answer this question, Klein, Chen and Doerksen set out to simulate the arylamide polymers in solutions that represent the cellular membrane and its surrounding water, to see if they maintain structure and behave similarly to magainin. The modeling tool for this job is molecular dynamics, a method that tracks the shape and movement of a molecule and its interaction with surrounding atoms. Most often used to model proteins, molecular dynamics relies on "force fields" to represent the forces acting between the atoms of the molecules. Initial attempts to model the arylamide polymer showed that standard force fields gave inaccurate results.
The problem had to do with the uniqueness of the arylamide backbone structure, chosen so that it wouldn't freely rotate, keeping hydrophobic side chains on one side and hydrophilic on the other. To solve this problem, Klein's team carried out a series of demanding quantum computations, an approach called density functional theory, to systematically derive accurate readings of the rotational resistance of the arylamide backbone. With about 60,000 hours of computing time using 128 LeMieux processors, they derived the force fields they needed.
The researchers confirmed the accuracy of their revised molecular dynamics model by simulating an arylamide structure and comparing it to the actual structure from experiment. They then ran molecular dynamics with several different versions of the arylamide polymer in an oil-water solution. These simulations show the polymer moving toward the oil-water interface and lodging there, mimicking the behavior of the natural anti-microbial peptides.
Taking their cue from these results, DeGrado's team synthesized the polymer and tested its antibacterial properties. Based on the success of this work, the University of Pennsylvania filed for several patents and created a company, POLYMEDIX, to exploit the possibilities for useful applications.
"We've identified a class of compounds," says Klein, "that the drug industry would refer to as a possible lead compound. Some of these short polymers are effective, but it will require systematic studies to develop this further." While it's only a first step, it's a big one, demonstrating not only the possibilities of using polymers to mimic nature's peptide germ fighters, but also how computational simulations and laboratory experiment can work together to custom design molecules for particular purposes.

Women's Eagles Sevens Squad Departs for Dubai 7s
CHULA VISTA, Calif. – The USA Women's Eagle Sevens depart today for Dubai, the first stop in the IRB Women's Sevens World Series. Head Coach Ric Suggitt has selected 12 women to compete in this inaugural series, which kicks off Nov. 30, 2012.
Some changes have been made to the team since the team's win at the Women's International 7s Invitational in Guangzhou, China (October 27-28), most notably the return of Vanesha McGee from injury, who will be taking over the role of captain from Deven Owsiany.
"Deven Owsiany has done an excellent job at getting the team to where it is at this stage. The current attitude and work ethic of this team has been amazing, and Deven is responsible for the formation of the squad," said Suggitt.
Contracted players Kimber Rozier and Kaelene Lundstrum will be absent as they are on tour with the Eagles 15s in Europe, but filling out the roster will be Emilie Bydwell, Victoria Folayan, Christina Mastrangelo and Lauren Doyle.
Seasoned sevens athletes Christy Ringgenberg and Nathalie Marchino will be traveling for their second tour with the Eagles since becoming contracted players in September and October of this year, respectively.
The remaining contracted athletes, Bui Baravilala, Jill Potter, Katie Dowty, Kelly Griffin and Owsiany, provide the core of the team with months of training together under their belt.

Arthur T. Demoulas was getting tired of having people, especially his cousin, question his authority.
The setting was a November 2009 Market Basket board meeting at which Arthur T.'s proposal to give employees up to $40 million in bonuses was being picked apart by Arthur S. Demoulas and his ally on the board.
Arthur S. wanted to know the amount and timing of the payment, and when it would be submitted for approval to him and other directors of the supermarket chain. "It's extraordinary. It's an extra $20 million to $40 million," he said.
GRAPHIC: A closer look at key conversations
Not one to pass up a challenge from his longtime foe, Arthur T. fired back at his cousin.
"I want to tell you, Arthur, you hired me to run the company," he said, according to a transcript of the meeting obtained by the Globe. "And my management style is not to come back to this board to request and ask for permission. I'm going to do it."
The transcripts, spanning more than a decade, lay bare the enduring ill will among
Demoulas family members and others vying for control of Market Basket.
Since Arthur T. was fired as president of Demoulas Super Markets Inc. in June, the feud between the two men has become a rallying cry for many people, who view it as a struggle to put people over profits; rallies on Arthur T.'s behalf have drawn thousands of employees who say they will work only for him.
But for others, it's a sad tale of warring relatives whose disdain for each other is so consuming that a once-thriving company is now close to ruin.
Meeting transcripts show their fight is not so easily distilled to "good" versus "bad" Arthurs. It also reflects issues that stir within every corporation, and resonate around many kitchen tables — employee compensation, food prices, the role of a chief executive, and who should benefit most from corporate profits.
At that 2009 meeting, a comment by Arthur T. foreshadowed the current showdown. "Without [our employees], this place will go down the tubes quicker than you can say hi-ho," he said.
This summer's standoff has proved that point. But the path leading to the grocery chain's paralysis was drawn by a much deeper series of disagreements.
'$45 million is bull----?'
TIMELINE: Recent events in standoff
Market Basket's success has contributed to one of its most intractable disputes: whether extra cash from more than $4 billion in annual revenue should be distributed to shareholders or reinvested in stores.
Arthur S. and other board members have repeatedly said family members who own the company should be paid higher dividends. But Arthur T. believes those shareholders — along with employees and customers — would be better served by opening more stores and paying bonuses to workers.
"We certainly believe that [putting] the money in the company is where we're going to get the best return, especially in today's environment," Arthur T. said during an October 2011 meeting.
'I'm really curious how you would normally go about deciding what the fair rent is. You're clearly on both sides of it.'Nabil El-Hage, former Market Basket board member
At that meeting, he outlined a schedule of store construction and expansion projects, including a $45 million loan made to a developer to build a store in Westford — an action he took without prior board approval.
An Arthur S. ally — board member Gerard J. Levins — began bickering over Arthur T. spending money without input from company directors, and asked to see documents in the Westford deal.
"You're nitpicking like a little lady," Arthur T. said.
"Don't get defensive," Levins responded.
"I'm not defensive at all, Gerry," Arthur T. said. "Time is precious. We've got a business to run. We've got bull---- to get over. That's nothing but bull----."
An apparently incredulous Levins replied, "Forty-five million is bull----? You're telling me as a director that $45 million is bull----?"
'You don't ask me questions.'
Board meetings were particularly contentious in the years after a court ruling in the late 1990s that found Arthur T.'s father, Telemachus, defrauded Arthur S.'s family out of its shares in the company.
The ruling split the business between the two Demoulas clan factions. Arthur S. served as a board member representing himself and other relatives. In 2001 and 2003, he regularly clashed with other board members and company executives about access to company information.
During a June 2003 session, Arthur S. and then-board chairman William J. Shea disagreed over how the meetings were being conducted.
"People have been interrupted, and people have felt that they haven't been able to get what they wanted to say out on the table properly," Shea said. He singled out Arthur S. as the main source of the discomfort, setting off a tense confrontation.
"You know something, Mr. Shea? I know what this is all about," Arthur S. said, according to the transcript. "And you know, the funny thing is we all know . . . "
"What's it all about?" Shea said.
After more back and forth, Levins accused Shea of talking behind Arthur S.'s back and not having "the guts" to confront him earlier in the meeting. "You're inconsistent time and time again," Levins said.
Then Arthur S. jumped back into the fray. "You're a liar," he told Shea. "That's why you're inconsistent."
Moments later, as Shea sought to regain control of the meeting, Arthur S. said he was running it like a "third-grade class."
Shea eventually called a recess to let tempers cool.
Evan Horowitz: The saga of Demoulas' Market Basket
Conflict only intensified after Arthur T. was hired to be chief executive in February 2008. He and Arthur S. were often at odds over spending decisions, real estate deals, and the profit-sharing plan. At the November 2009 meeting, the board voted on a proposal to make a 20 percent contribution to the plan. All the directors voted in favor, except Arthur S., who abstained.
"You're not in favor?" Arthur T. asked.
"Arthur, you don't ask me questions," Arthur S. replied. "I ask you questions."
GRAPHIC: A closer look at key conversations
'Only one boss'
In 2011 and 2012, several directors sought to place limits how much Arthur T. could spend without approval from the board. The effort was led by two newer directors: Keith O. Cowan, a former executive at BellSouth Corp. and Sprint Corp., and Nabil El-Hage, a former Harvard Business School professor who specializes in corporate governance.
In October 2011, El-Hage asked Arthur T. whether he thought he had unlimited spending authority as chief executive.
"I do not know of any restriction that's out there, and I do not care to have any restriction, quite frankly," Arthur T. said.
"You're not Catholic, are you, Arthur?" El-Hage said. "That's a serious question. You're Greek, so you practice Greek Orthodox."
"Right," Arthur T. replied.
El-Hage zeroed in on his point: "That explains it, because in my religion we believe only the pope is infallible."
The issue surfaced again during ensuing board meetings. In August 2012, Cowan proposed the board's audit committee consider setting a spending threshold for Arthur T., noting executives at Sprint and BellSouth were not allowed to unilaterally spend over $75 million.
"There can't be, in any company of any size, absolute delegation of authority on transactions," Cowan said. "There just can't be.'
El-Hage seconded the assertion. "To say that the CEO has unfettered authority to do a $100 million deal . . . is not fulfilling our oversight duty as a board," he said.
RELATED: Managers ordered to take down protest signs
Arthur T. was having none of it.
"It makes zero sense to me, zero sense to me, knowing what goes into these deals," he said, launching into an argument that took up several pages of the meeting transcript. He told board members he would keep them informed of real estate deals and other priorities, but that instituting a spending limit would interfere with his ability to do his job.
"I'm running this company in the best interest of this organization," he told the board. "I'm running this company with the philosophy, very strong philosophy, there's only one boss on this company. There's not two. There's not three. There's not five. There's only one boss in this company."
'Do you sit in front of the mirror and talk?'
The dispute over spending was not just about power and strategy. Arthur S. also repeatedly accused Arthur T. of conducting real estate transactions from which he and his relatives benefited.
A retired judge hired by the board to investigate those allegations found no evidence of fraud or improper "self-dealing" by Arthur T. But the boardroom disagreements persisted as Arthur T. used entities owned by his side of family to pursue building new Market Basket stores in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
During a February 2012 meeting, El-Hage questioned Arthur T. about how he negotiated store rents with a development firm called High Rock. That company — largely funded by Arthur T.'s family and run by his friend David Sweetser — worked with Arthur T. to develop Market Baskets in Bourne and Brockton.
El-Hage wanted to know how Arthur T. could ensure he got the best deal for Market Basket, since higher rent paid by the supermarket chain would mean more money for High Rock.
"Literally, what do you do? Do you sit in front of a mirror and talk?," El-Hage asked. "I'm really curious how you would normally go about deciding what the fair rent is. You're clearly on both sides of it."
GRAPHIC: A closer look at key conversations
Arthur T. responded, "I would handle Mr. Sweetser no differently than we handle any other landlord. You sit and you talk, and you get the lay of the land, and you try to make the best deal you can."
Later, El-Hage circled back to the matter, asserting the board needed to establish a better way to review real estate projects. But his proposal — that all deals should get approval from Arthur S.'s side or the board's independent directors — was dismissed as unworkable.
Board member Terence Carleton told El-Hage the plan made sense, until the discord that has split the Demoulases for decades was factored in.
"Everything theoretically here works until we try to put it in a practical application," Carleton said. "And then it blows up because of the contentiousness of the two families."

Three Pete
Peter Gowland, one of the most influential of the post war Southern California glamour photographers, says he was profoundly affected by popular illustration of the day and though he doesn't mention Hawley specifically by name, it's clear he is referring to Hawley and Janzten in his "how to" books he begins producing in 1953 when he talks about a pin up novice must learn an illustrator's "poster effect" of contrast and focus to be successful.
Hawley, for his own part at the time, was among the many of the artists Esquire magazine rotated in the magazine and calendar after the war, a list that shows how accomplished and high the standard was at the time-- Thornton Utz, Fritz Willis, De Mers, Robert Patterson, Ward Bracket, Walter Popp, Ernest Chiriaka, Eddie Chan, Al Rossi, and Mike Ludlow, just to name a few, all incredibly top notch!—and how those artists were working away from pin up in many other corners of the illustration industry, including a shrinking market in magazines, but a robust opportunity in expanding paperback and men's adventure covers, movie posters, and record sleeve art.
The photograph-illustration influence cuts both ways, how one side was responding to the challenge and which side would be the ultimate winner. Hawley's painting of a young woman in a aerodynamic one piece, hands down by her side, perhaps knee deep in still water, unsmiling, face upturned but eyes closed in ecstasy, owes more to Russ Meyer's glamour photography of his wife Eve and Diane Webber than it does to prevailing illustration trends of the mid and late 50s. In 1957 "Gidget" is published and followed two years by the movie starring Sandra Dee and bikinis and beaches, Southern California and surfing become national trends and photography takes over chronicling the trends. Illustration all but disappears in swimsuit ads by 1960.
Yet there were the children and babies to fall back on, always so evident in Hawley's work, winged cherubs and darling snub-nosed tykes, bored little brothers and sisters holding suntan oil or a towel while the adults flirt, sprites in blackface causing havoc or outrageously cute pets or small animals run amok. These touches added the Hawley twist, that touch of humor his work had that other glamour illustrators didn't. By 1958, it seems this became Hawley's most recognized and distributed work. He markets his own line of greeting cards and the Hawley enormous eye style becomes a booming business in its own right.
But when it became just the unrestrained kids and cute babies, for me, it's just too much.
I'll close with this. Is this Pete Hawley?
"Don Lewis" first appeared, as far as I can tell, in 1966 in the pages of Playboy magazine's quarterly periodical for Playboy Club members, VIP, with six cartoons spread over two years of the club's trademark waitress Bunny.
Lewis thereafter made just four more appearances in the magazine, late 1966-1968, pin up cartoons. The earlier Bunny cartoons shown here, the keyholder cartoon is dated July 1965, are very tight, done in gouache and watercolor, much tighter than the last three examples in the magazine seemingly done in a loose, offhand watercolor.
I can find no other mention of Lewis anywhere, in any facet of American illustration or art, from the 30s to the 70s, and no other example except those ten cartoons. (Can any list member help here?) So, if that's true, it's likely a pseudonym. Hawley used pseudonyms a lot, wouldn't it make sense to use one in this instance, especially if his name was associated in the 60s with brand name baby or child-like impossibly cute big eye art? Does it look like Hawley? I think it does. The angular, corseted, small waist, the expert handling of the limbs that is both simple and gorgeous. Note the way the Bunny costume shimmers. Whomever he or she may have been, that artist was no slouch.
And the eyes, hollowed out without an iris but big and outlined. Gosh, that says Hawley to me.
Could it someone else, there were so many good artists then who had the requiste chops. Yes. And I admit, sometimes I waver. One day I'm convinced it's him. On others, not so sure. (Five of the bunny cartoons were auctioned off by Playboy in 2002, the most coveted going for just under $4000).
He is such a mystery. Once I saw a Gwen Verdon or Rita Moreno (I think) Broadway musical soundtrack album that had a sparkling mid 50's, top-of-his-game signed illustration by Hawley. I regret I didn't buy it right then. Yet a year or so later, for the same title, I saw a different illustration by an un-credited artist straining to look like Hawley as much as possible but not quite managing it.
What's up with that? I spoke with Shane about it and he had seen it too. Weird.

For kicks, I looked for my ex husband's bunny cartoons painted for Playboy Magazine and was led to your site. Just for clarification, Don Lewis is a real person, went to Chicago's American Academy of Art, is an exceptional artist, still 'arting' and resides in northern Indiana. Hugh Hefner always personally approved every cartoon that appeared in the magazine. He was very careful to not override his contract with Vargas when featuring similar cartoons. Hope this helps Leif solve the mystery. M. Lewis
Thanks so much for your comment -- and for shedding some light on the career of Mr. Lewis! If you are still in touch with him, please let him know that there are many people who still very much admire his wonderful artwork. And if he is so inclined, I'd love to ask him in greater detail about his career.ReplyDelete
best wishes - Leif
HiM. Lewis and Lief, I was looking to have a cartoon drawn of my wife in the old style by one of the old masters. It looks like you may know someone who can help me with this. Can you suggest a contact for me? Thanks.ReplyDelete

Leif, Don Lewis just passed away on August 6. I had the pleasure of working with Don for many, many years, hiring him for jobs that I knew only a master could execute...he was such a wonderful artist, not to mention humble. The art world has lost a true talent.ReplyDelete

At the event, Weiner was given time at the podium to address the crowd, and he definitely didn't waste it. While he could have stood up there and talked about how important the media is to our democracy, or mention that while he may not always have the most cordial relationship with some reporters, he did understand how valuable they are to our free society, etc. etc., blah, blah, blah...Weiner instead spent his time poking fun at anybody and everybody. And he was pretty good at it.
Really, if you haven't had a chance to watch the video footage, you should really take out your phone right now and scan the QR code on this page and play it for everybody within hearing distance. However, in case you are at work, in the library, or currently serving jury duty and letting people know you are reading the paper instead of listening intently to testimony could find in contempt of court, here's a few of Pol Position's favorite highlights:
• Weiner starts by beating everybody to the punch, namely by making fun of his own last name. Part of the bit involves making up ridiculous campaign slogans for himself. The best one: "Vote for Weiner, He'll Be Frank."
• Weiner also gives a shout out to Louisiana congressman Cedric Richmond, who replaced William Jefferson in the House of Representatives after federal agents found $90,000 in his freezer. Jefferson used his office to solicit bribes, and in 2009 was sentenced to 11 years in jail. Weiner riffed that Richmond was elected because he pledged to work hard and "keep all of his money at room temperature."
• But one of Weiner's best jokes wasn't really a joke at all, in the literal sense. The congressman said it was unfortunate that Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann, a proud supporter of the Tea Party Movement, couldn't attend the dinner because she was in Iowa campaigning for a possible presidential run in 2012. The punchline? "That's really all I have for that joke."
But that is really just the tip of the iceberg, and you should certainly watch the whole routine in its entirety. If you really can't stand Anthony Weiner, and we understand there are a few of you out there who can't, this probably isn't going to change your opinion of him. But even you would have to admit that he is one of the more entertaining people currently holding elected office in our nation's capital. Really, can't we get this guy to host the Oscars next year?

Ginners and producers need to keep on top of changing regulations relating to employees, particularly migrant workers, and maintain careful documentation of pay, safety, and other areas related to those workers.
Failure to do so could be expensive, says Ann Margaret Pointer, attorney and agricultural labor specialist with Fisher & Phillips, Atlanta, who advises the Southern Cotton Ginners Association on issues relating to the industry.
"There are many ways businesses, individuals who run them, and supervisory personnel are responsible for compliance with state/federal labor laws and can incur liability," she said at the SCGA summer meeting at Branson, Mo. "They include discrimination laws, minimum wage laws, migrant/seasonal worker laws, OSHA laws, and others."
And she said, corporate structure does not necessarily protect personal assets in a legal action.
Some things ag business owners/employers should be aware of, Pointer says:
• A new I-9 form (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) became effective April 3 this year. All U.S. employers must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States.
This includes citizens and non-citizens. On the form, the employer must examine the employment eligibility and identity document(s) an employee presents to determine whether the document(s) reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the individual, and record the document information on the Form I-9. If employers don't use the form, they may be subject to civil money penalties.
"The immigration debate is heating up in Washington again," Pointer says, "and there is a strong impetus in Congress to punish those who hire illegals, with a renewed focus on applying criminal penalties to employers who knowingly hire illegals."
Electronic systems/software are now available for storing I-9 forms and related documents; the systems can be fully integrated with E-Verify, and they provide reminders of expiring documents and other relevant information.
"To the extent you're dependent upon a migrant crew, be alert to the fact that the government is actively looking for illegals," Pointer says, "Be sure you're complying with all regulations and have the necessary documentation."
Labor regulations
• Employers need to comply with requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA) and the Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act (MSPA).
"These two federal statutes define employment so broadly they can have a wide-ranging impact," Pointer says.
Additionally, many states have instituted laws that exceed requirements of the federal statutes, she notes, "and it is incumbent on you as an employer to insure that you are following labor law applicable in your state."
While cotton ginning has had at least partial exemptions from minimum wage and overtime regulations, Pointer says the Wage and Hour Division may try and change the interpretation of regulations that have been in place since 1974 and 1977.
"There has been "a real fracas" in Texas over this, she says. "You need to document everything related to wages paid, overtime, and bonuses and keep this information in your files."
Bonuses are increasingly an important area where the government is going to be looking, she says; if a bonus is not "a complete surprise," it will likely be considered part of regular wages and should be calculated as such.
The Department of Labor has been "looking for ways to interpret regulations more stringently," Pointer says. "They've "gone back into the attics and archives of agricultural associations, so it's more important than ever that you have extensive records and documentation."
Temporary workers
• MSPA and H2A (agricultural temporary worker) regulations are "defining jobs in more formal ways than ever before."
These terms and conditions become contractual and enforceable in federal court, Pointer says. "You should incorporate work rules in the job description and have it in writing.
There are also rules for drivers, vehicle safety, and insurance requirements, housing and health safety requirements, housing inspections, etc., and employers should plan for compliance in "at least English and Spanish."
Notices must be posted conspicuously at the place of employment, "generally in multiple places," and must be in the workers' languages.
Under all these laws, there are specific protections for those who file complaints.
OSHA standards apply specifically to many agricultural operations, Pointer notes, but even if there is not a standard that applies specifically to a particular operation, "You still need to have safety training and monitoring procedures in place under the General Duty Obligations clause.
"Under this clause, 'hazards' that are the subject of specific standards for non-agricultural industries can result in OSHA citations where the hazard is recognized, has caused or is likely to cause death or serious physical harm, and there is a feasible method to correct or abate the hazard."
Even though only certain regulations apply to agriculture, particularly where there are ANSI, ASE, and other professionally-developed safety standards, OSHA citations still may be issued, Pointer says. "Moreover, OSHA citations have been issued for failure to operate equipment in accordance with the manufacturer's directions.
"If equipment or a work practice creates a hazard risk, keep up with and implement your industry's ways of working safely, train employees to work safely, and maintain the equipment so it can be safely operated."

Consumer Products needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 20 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
Maqui Trim
we are a group of individuals dedicated to bringing innovative and quality health and nutrition products to improve the lives of others.
Mostly women 18-35 buy diet products so we want to focus on this group.
Please do some research on Maqui in google. It looks much like a blueberry. This berry is the worlds highest antioxidant superfruit.
This product is for a label going over a 150cc white bottle. This is not just a simple logo. 2.5" x 6" label. This is not a box. The attached file is the only one I could find of the Acai Trim bottle that is large enough to read the type I couldn't find one of just the label or just the bottle.
* I do not need a box or a bottle.
Since this is going into retail there needs to be mostly claims and content on the front of the bottle there is no room for a ladys midsection or large graphics. We want a fresh, vibrant and bright look, this product should pop off the shelf and get people to stop and check it out.
Label to be in similar in FORMAT ONLY to the attached Acai Trim Product. But costco has seen this before so don't copy the colors or graphics here.
In a text box or logo circle area on top center of label: Maqui Trim
Subtitle smaller on bottom right inside logo or text box: Antioxidant Superfruit Diet
Below the logo/text box: Highest Antioxidant Superfruit in the World!
lower Text box area: 3x more powerful than Acai. Combats weight loss while increasing energy, stregnth, and supporting cardiovascular health.
Below not in box: With Added Green Tea for Weight Loss
In a starburst: Higest ORAC superfruit (make this pop.. use a orange or red)
Colors: Use purple, neon green, white, and dark blue. See attached Maqui Bottle for color scheme.
elements: graphics must be an afterthought as this product is going into retail and should be mostly claims and content but I do like the berries on the label for Acai Trim on the bottom. They added a bird -no bird but these berries come from Patagonia so a mountain scene would be ok. See the Maqui bottle attached.

All-Pro quarterback Matt Ryan, a leading MVP contender, and wideout Julio Jones put up NFC South champion Atlanta's high-powered offense against NFC West champion Seattle's "Legion of Boom" defense, which is missing injured safety Earl Thomas but still features Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor.
In the first meeting — a 26-24 loss against Seattle in Week 6 — Ryan threw for three TDs, while Jones finished with seven catches for 139 yards and a score. But most memorable was an incompletion on fourth down with 90 seconds left, when Sherman grabbed Jones' arm on a deep pass. Definitely a 1-on-1 matchup to keep an eye on this time.
Also worth monitoring: How Atlanta's so-so defense deals with Seattle's offense, which seemed reborn as Thomas Rawls ran for 161 yards in a 26-6 win over Detroit in the wild-card round. Falcons head coach Dan Quinn used to be Seattle's defensive coordinator.
"Such a hard-nosed, tough coach, and his team embodies him out there," Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said. "It's like playing ourselves."

I've been wanting to write this forever but only got around to it because TOC reminded me I should do it. I'll update this if I forgot anything and as warranted by changes.
via Angelo's, but don't get this because it doesn't have hollandaise on it.
So, you're coming to Ann Arbor to watch football. Welcome! Sorry about the frat guys who talk crap to you. At least they aren't throwing beer cans! (They totally would, but those things are ten cents, and in this economy DO YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SAYING.)
I'm not much use when it comes to getting tickets or finding accommodations but I know where to eat and drink in this town. I had to go to Paris to confirm this, but it's true: Ann Arbor is a fantastic food town. You can get virtually anything here, and get it done well.
Unfortunately, some of the famous things are terribly overrated and it's really easy to walk into an overpriced restaurant run by Main Street Ventures. But that's what this is for, to prevent this from happening to you. There is also no doner kebab. I can't do anything about that, or I already would have.
Shorter Version Of This Post
If you need something to eat after you hit town and want quick takeout for tailgating, go to Frita Batidos or Satchel's. If you want to watch football go to Bar Louie. If you want to drink, go to Ashley's. Dinner is harder. Right now I'd say The Ravens Club is the most versatile.
I want to wait in line for some Hollandaise.
Angelo's is the quintessential Ann Arbor breakfast place, and it deserves its rep. They'll serve you raisin toast for a little bit extra and all the tables have a cinnamon sugar shaker and they've got deep fried French toast. I hear this is all very good.
I don't know because I didn't understand what the BFD was about Angelo's until about the third time I went there and I got eggs benedict. The hollandaise. This is what you should order. Accept no substitutes.
On a Sunday morning go early or late or prepare to wait. Your best bet is to avoid the church rushes; they don't take reservations.
I want a ridiculous pile of food no one could hope to finish.
The Broken Egg is Ann Arbor's premier purveyor of 2000 calorie breakfasts. They aren't great, but they're huge. It's not really my style—I'd rather just hit up one of the copious diners—but if you could eat a horse this is your jam.
I want brunch. Like brunch with crepes.
Café Zola is the best brunch-with-crepes sort of place in town. They also serve ludicrous waffles and… uh… half-pound burgers. Pricey for dinner. A tiny bit pricey for breakfast, but high quality.
I want eggs, toast, and coffee.
There are plenty of diners. The Cloverleaf is the downtown one I'm most familiar with. It is a diner. Benny's is also a diner, but it's famous because Michael Phelps ate there. If you're not from Michigan, a Coney Island is a diner that will serve you a hot dog with chili on it if you want them to.?
I would like to participate in the deli sandwich blood war.
When Andy Staples came to town he ran down the Great Sandwich War of Ann Arbor with exacting accuracy. Choose as you will.
I brought a jacket and would like to eat at the best restaurant in town.
Since Eve Aronoff closed her eponymous restaurant, this is almost certainly Logan. It will run you fancy dinner prices; it will be worth it. Reservations are a good idea. Get the fresh baked cookies for dessert.
That Eve person mentioned above opened a new place when she shut down her old one: Frita Batidos. They serve fritas, not burgers. Fritas (right, via Kitchen Chick) are Cuban sandwiches on round buns that are basically burgers except they're made of glory and chorizo. And can come with a fried egg and tropical coleslaw and avocado spread and Munster on them. Or be fish or turkey or a really really good black bean thing. And you can get milkshakes (batidos) with them and fried plantains. Or you could just get the Cuban sandwich, or some fried smelt, or churros that descend from the heavens accompanied by a chorus of angels. Just go here.
They do takeout. Therefore, this is the best possible idea for spur-of-the-moment road game "tailgating." You know what I'm talking about: you roll into a town you know nothing about and get Subway and wish you were at a home game. Frita will cure you of that malaise. The most convenient way to get there from the highway is to take the Main Street exit off M-14.
If you refuse to do this there is a Five Guys. You are disappointingly average. Boo you!
I would like to eat a fancy dinner or some small plates in my sports-themed attire near hipsters.
You are destined for The Grange, which opened about a year ago. The Grange is the only reason there's a qualifier before Logan's status as the best place in town.
It's one of those places that will tell you the life history of the pig you are eating. You will actually enjoy this because you will be having a burger with bacon jam—bacon jam!—and a little blue cheese croquette that is glorious, or duck poutine, or, like, food for adults that's just as good.?
When we went we were the only people not in t-shirts. If you want someplace that tastes fancy you can go after a game, this is it.
I want a reasonably priced American place.
Red Hawk is the best bar/grill/American place in town, and it's conveniently located near Ashley's.
I'd like to see these quaint Northerners try barbecue.
I used to recommend Blue Tractor but the last couple of times I've gone it's been not so good. It's also just a restaurant. A place called Satchel's opened up recently, though, and it features big benches and styrofoam plates with slabs of stuff on them and all manner of sauces and it seems pretty credible. I've lived in Texas, so I have an inkling of what I speak. This is also a good idea for road game tailgating, especially if you're exiting off US 23 at Washtenaw—it's right on the way.
I want ramen.
Tomukun is excellent.
I want pizza.
If you want fontina and grapes on your pizza, Silvio's is the place for you. Pricey, good, interesting. If you want a slice like Manhattan used to make, New York Pizza Depot, commonly known as NYPD, is a tasty approximation. Cottage Inn is widely reputed to be the best conventional place in town, and it is good. In my experience the takeout/delivery is actually a better idea than the restaurant.
It's 5AM.
The Fleetwood is open 24 hours and will give you a solid meal. It's a diner with a hippie twist. You win the prize if you go there and there's no one with dreads hanging around, looking derelict.
Other late night options: Pizza House's restaurant is open until 4 AM.
Big Ten Burrito BTB?is Ann Arbor's late-night face-stuffing burrito of choice.
I'm stuck on Main Street and want something that will please a group of disparate people, some of whom I'm beginning to hate because I'm quite hungry.
The Ravens Club is your best bet. Their menu varies wildly in price from 10 to 30 bucks, so you can choose what you're feeling up to, and it's all very good. They make excellent cocktails as well.
Other good options on Main are Prickly Pear, a Mexican restaurant with killer empanadas, and Middle Kingdom, a by-the-book Chinese place that's high quality but not mind-expanding.
I would like to cook my own meat, or I'm from South Korea.
this is doing it right at Seoul Garden
Ann Arbor has a frighteningly authentic Korean restaurant called Seoul Garden that's conveniently located next to I-94 and Briarwood mall. If you are not Korean, be careful: this is not a place that pulls its punches. Once they had huge menu-wide specials on sea squirts, so we got some. Sea squirts turn out to be close relatives of barnacles. Trying to eat one is like trying to eat a tiny basketball full of salt water and bones. Another time we mistakenly ordered some cod roe soup. Cod roe is like eating those little packets of desiccants you find in beef jerky.
HOWEVA, if you sidestep the many pitfalls on the menu and just order some bulgogi or bi bim bop it's going to be good. They'll bring out delightful little bowls of ban chan that are always great and then you'll cook up some beef or pork belly at your table and put it in some lettuce with some rice and be just delighted with everything. If you get the bi bim bop get it in a stone bowl and you'll get fantastic crispy rice at the bottom of your meal.
You would not believe how poor I am.
Hello, student. BTB above is a good bet. Jerusalem Garden is a genuinely good Mediterranean joint that will stuff huge amounts of falafel in your face for five bucks. Ann Arbor also has the usual flock of Jimmy John's you'll find in any college town.
I would like Ann Arbor to leave a bad taste in my mouth. (IE: not recommended.)
Virtually every place on Main is overpriced for what it is. (Rent is killer.) The above-mentioned places are exceptions. As a general rule pick something just off Main over something on it. Skip anything from Main Street Ventures.
The Earle hasn't updated what it does since the 1960s. Blimpy Burger calls itself "cheaper than food" but is actually quite expensive and gets along on reputation these days. If you really like grease—like… you don't mind doing shots of it—I guess it's cool.
People will kill me for this but I have been unimpressed with Zingerman's Roadhouse. In my experience the bread fights back when you try to eat it. I don't think a lot of vegetarians are going to be hitting this post up but Seva is the most depressing kind of vegetarian restaurant, the sort that pretends everything has meat in it—and not very well.
I want to watch football on sixty TVs.
This is a shameful thing but the best place in town to watch sports at a bar is Buffalo Wild Wings. The TV situations at the local sports bars (the Arena and Cubs AC, most prominently) are totally unacceptable for watching multiple games. I'm talking wavy, dim, 20-year-old projection TVs.
Bar Louie is another solid option; that's another chain but they have a much better beer selection and better food than BWW. Also, they have not made you want to put your fist through a TV with their ads. Actually, forget I said anything about BWW. Go to Bar Louie. If it's full, BWW is your second option. If that's full, the bar area at the Arena is workable. They're all within a couple blocks of each other.
I have a favorite Russian Imperial Stout.
you call that a bar? this is a bar.
Michigan isn't Oregon but it has a booming microbrew scene, of which Ann Arbor is a major participant. You will be able to find two to four varieties of Bell's on tap virtually everywhere, and many places will have New Holland or Founder's.
If you're just drinking, Ashley's is the place to go. With over 100 taps and a zillion bottles they will have something you like. Unfortunately, the menu no longer describes Labatt Blue as "bland perfumy sweetness," but it used to. That's the kind of place we're talking about. Heavy grad student population; fairly popular with undergrads. Food is substandard except for the Stilton fries, which rock.
Jolly Pumpkin opened a brewpub on Main a couple years ago. Their beer is good but there aren't a ton of options and they're often out of what they do have. The food is trying really hard to be gourmet but is not well executed. I was excited about them; one of these days they will Get It.
Grizzly Peak is more of a restaurant than a pub but they do brew their own beer and it's quality. Tends to be overrun, though. It's where students take their parents. Avoid if it's parents' weekend. And Bar Louie does have a surprisingly good beer selection for a chain.
I have a hard-won loathing for Arbor Brewing Company. Their Irish stout has no head. They make pine beer that tastes like soap to the point of undrinkability. Hit their Olde 22 Ale at the wrong point and it will taste like cigarettes. The rest of their beers have something just… off about them. Unless you need to hit on grad students who really enjoy organizing labor, stay away.
I am an undergrad, possibly one wearing an Affliction shirt.
Any of the bars on South University will be up your alley: Mitch's, Touchdown's, The Brown Jug, Good Time Charley's. [UPDATE: Apparently the former two no longer exist.] The latter two are less fratty; all are heavily undergrad. Charley's is a good place to go if there's a USMNT game you want to see. Your other main option is Scorekeeper's. They're all the same place. Rick's is as close as you'll get to Jersey Shore in AA.
If you want to rub up against ladies who are not interested in rubbing back, Necto is the primary nightclub in town. There are others farther from campus. I hear tell there was a mechanical bull but I think that place went under.
I'm tired and I want something as mellow as possible.
Old Town is usually your best bet for a relaxed drink on a crowded night. Service and beer selection is good, they can pour a drink, and… hey… free peanuts. Very townie bar.
I want a martini in a dark place that kind of makes me feel like a spy.
Babs' is your jam. The Ravens Club also does nice cocktails and I hear tell after a being a crushed-ice-in-your-martini kind of place the Alley Bar has undergone reform.

I was shopping at an Antique mall here in Las Vegas and there was a small rack of really old clothing. I initially noticed the sweater because i thought it was an old motorcycle sweater. I read the packers and the size was a size that actually fit me. I noticed the Jersey as well and not knowing much about the Packers at the time, I assumed that the Packers colors had always been the green and yellow. I just figured either way it was cool item but i had no idea the 2 items belonged together because they were dated by the dealer 2 different time periods. In all honestly because I didn't see the green and yellow i didn't even think that there were Green Bay Packers items. I had assumed it might have been a college team or even a high school team.I wasn't terribly surprised that the Packers weren't able to help him; that's not really what they do. The team has made enough mistakes chronicling the broad outlines of its own history, much less detail work such as this (those mistakes were why I started this blog in the first place, which is a story for another day).
The jersey had been dated earlier then 1950s by the gentlemen who was selling the items, because the label reads "O'Sheas Knitting Mills Oct. 10-1916 - April 8,1924." He had dated the sweater as 1940s, so I wasn't to sure what time period the jersey or the sweater was from.
I started to look at several websites and then i realized that these items were in fact Green Bay packers. I found some old pix from another site and even seen some auctions sites where similar items have been sold.
A friend of mine who also collects old clothing and even has a blog site helped cross reference sites. He suggested that I contact the Green Bay Packers to possibly get the items authenticated but I hit a brick wall there. It seems pretty impossible to get ahold of anyone at the organization.
I emailed you cause I seen your site was the most useful in finding out any info. Thanks again I really appreciate your help.
These were the photos Leo sent me:
I recognized the sideline pullover instantly. I don't know when it was introduced, but the Packers were using it well into the 1950s.
The tagging Leo described matched other Packer jerseys from the 1940s. The Packers bought their gear from O'Shea for many years during Lambeau's tenure.
It seemed to me that his find could well be genuine. At the very least, this required an expert. I referred Leo to MEARS, the Milwaukee-based authenticators and auctioneers. They must have been as pleased to see these as I was, because the jersey and jacket are featured in the current MEARS auction, now open through February 2nd, 2013, 9:00pm Central.
This is the jersey listing:
Lot #231: 1948 Buford "Baby" Ray Green Bay Packers Game Worn Home Jersey (MEARS A9) "First example discovered"Here's the listing for the jacket:
A free agent from Vanderbilt in 1938, Buford 'Baby' Ray was a dominating blocker and defensive tackle.
Size 44 appears in the crotch piece.
Final Grade (MEARS A9): Base grade of 10 points were assigned for jersey matching correct manufacturer, style, and sizing for Ray. 1 point was subtracted for the small holes on reverse. LOA Troy R. Kinunen / MEARS (B0238)
Lot #226: 1948 Buford "Baby" Ray Green Bay Packers Game Worn Home Team Jacket (MEARS LOA) "First example discovered"The description also includes this photo of Curly Lambeau and his men on the sidelines (it doesn't say whether this photo is included in the auction).
Offered is a matching jacket to the 1948 Buford Ray game worn jersey offered in this auction.
The co-captain of the Vanderbilt University Commodores in 1937, the 6'6" Ray was a giant of a lineman in his time. He weighed more than 280 pounds in college but dropped 30 pounds in his first season with the Green Bay Packers.
This is the first example of this style jacket that MEARS has evaluated.
Manufactured by Wilson (black tag with red lettering, 1948-55), this wool pull over jacket has full length sleeves which are trimmed in double stripe yellow trim. The collar has one single yellow stripe. "PACKERS" (3 ½") lettering appears in yellow cotton on the reverse. The jacket remains in excellent condition, with 12 moth holes on the reverse near the upper collar and 5 on the front. The holes are almost impossible to see due to the navy collar, but mentioned for the sake of accuracy.
UPDATE: The auction is over; the jersey sold for $8,084 and the jacket for $5,018 (including buyer's premiums).

Responses to public comments on Draft Post-Delisting Monitoring Plan
I. Introduction
Post-delisting monitoring (PDM) refers to activities undertaken to verify that a species delisted due to recovery remains secure from risk of extinction after the protections of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) no longer apply. One primary goal of PDM is to monitor the species to ensure the status does not deteriorate, and if a substantial decline in the species (numbers of individuals or populations) or an increase in threats is detected, to take measures to halt the decline so that re-listing it as a threatened or endangered species is not needed.
Section 4(g) of the ESA requires the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to implement a system in cooperation with the States to monitor for not less than five years the status of all species that have recovered and been removed from the list of threatened and endangered plants and animals (list). Section 4(g)(2) of the ESA directs the Service to make prompt use of its emergency listing authorities under section 4(b)(7) of the ESA to prevent a significant risk to the well-being of any recovered species. While not specifically mentioned in section 4(g) of the ESA, authorities to list species in accordance with the process prescribed in sections 4(b)(5) and 4(b)(6) may also be used to reinstate species on the list, if warranted.
The Service and States have latitude to determine the extent and intensity of PDM that is needed and appropriate. The ESA does not require the development of a formal PDM "plan." However, the Service generally desires to follow a written planning document to provide for the effective implementation of section 4(g) by guiding collection and evaluation of pertinent information over the monitoring period and articulating the associated funding needs. Thus this document was prepared to describe the PDM plan for the Lake Erie Watersnake (Nerodia sipedon insularum). This PDM plan follows the Post- Delisting Monitoring Plan Guidance Under the Endangered Species Act (Services 2008; available on-line at http://www.fws.gov/endangered).
II. Background
The Lake Erie Watersnake is a subspecies of the Northern Watersnake (N. sipedon sipedon) that occurs primarily on the offshore islands of western Lake Erie in Ohio and Ontario, Canada, but also on a small portion of the U.S. mainland on the Catawba and Marblehead peninsulas of Ottawa County, Ohio (Conant and Clay 1937, p. 2; King 1986, p. 760). Lake Erie Watersnakes are uniformly gray or brown, and have either no banding pattern, or have blotches or banding that are either faded or reduced (Conant and Clay 1937, pp. 2-5; Camin and Ehrlich 1958, p. 504; King 1987, pp. 243-244). Female Lake Erie Watersnakes grow up to 1.1 meters (m) (3.5 feet (ft)), long, and are larger than males (King 1986, p. 762). Newborn Lake Erie Watersnakes are the size of a pencil, and are born during late summer or early fall (King 1986, p. 764).
Lake Erie Watersnake summer habitat is composed of rocky shorelines with limestone or dolomite shelves, ledges, or boulders for sunning and shelter. Shelter occurs in the form of loose rocks, piled rocks, or shelves and ledges with cracks, crevices, and nearby vegetation. Rip-rap erosion control, armor stone, and docks incorporating a stone crib structure often serve as summer habitat for the snake. Lake Erie Watersnakes typically forage for fish and amphibians in Lake Erie, and recent research indicates that more than 90 percent of their current diet is composed of the nonnative, invasive fish round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) (King et al. 2006b, p. 110). Jones et al. (2009, p. 441) report that the mean foraging distance from shore was 85 m (279 ft), and the average water depth of the foraging locations was 3.32 m (10.9 ft). During the summer, 75 percent of Lake Erie Watersnakes are found within 13 m (42.7 ft) of the water's edge (King 2003, p. 4). King (2003, p. 4) identified that 75 percent of Lake Erie Watersnakes used 437 m (1433 ft) of shoreline or less as a home range. Individual snakes often demonstrate site fidelity, returning to the same shoreline area in successive years (King 2003, pp. 4, 11- 17).
In the winter, Lake Erie Watersnakes hibernate below the frost level, in cracks or crevices in the bedrock, interstitial spaces of rocky substrates, tree roots, building foundations, and other similar natural and human-made structures. Seventy-five percent of Lake Erie Watersnakes hibernate within 69 m (226 ft) of the water's edge (King 2003, p. 4). Individual snakes often demonstrate site fidelity, returning to the same or nearby hibernacula in successive years (King 2003, pp. 4, 11-17).
Additional information on the Lake Erie Watersnake's life history and biology can be found in the final listing rule (64 FR 47126, August 30, 1999), Lake Erie Watersnake Recovery Plan (Service 2003, pp. 6-11), and the proposed delisting rule (available at: http://www.fws.gov/endangered).
The Service classified the Distinct Population Segment of "Lake Erie water snakes" on the Offshore Islands of Western Lake Erie as a threatened species on August 30, 1999 (64 FR 47126). The subspecies was listed primarily due to the threat of intentional human persecution, but also due to habitat destruction and modification, small population size, and restricted range.
On September 25, 2003, the Service announced the availability of an approved recovery plan for the Lake Erie Watersnake (68 FR 55411). In the recovery plan (Service 2003, p. G-19) we describe a revision to the common name from "Lake Erie water snake" to "Lake Erie Watersnake" per the peer-reviewed naming convention outlined in "Scientific and Standard English Names of Amphibians and Reptiles of North America North of Mexico, with Comments Regarding Confidence in Our Understanding" (most recent version Crother 2008, p. 58). Subsequently, we refer to the subspecies as "Lake Erie Watersnake" in this and future documents.
Concurrent with this Post-delisting Monitoring Plan, we are removing the Lake Erie Watersnake from the List of Threatened and Endangered Wildlife due to recovery. The delisting rule is available at http://www.fws.gov/endangered or by calling our Ohio Ecological Services Office at 614-416-8993.
