Until now, news accounts have only featured government spokesmen or airline personnel who were not actually on the June 29 flight. But in an exclusive interview with TIME, the lead Federal Air Marshal who flew on Flight 327 tells what happened that day. "Bottom line," the FAM says, "there was never a time when my main partner or I felt there was an imminent threat to that airplane or the passengers."
The controversy began in mid-July, when WomensWallStreet.com posted an account of the incident written by Jacobsen, a passenger on Flight 327. She detailed what she said was odd behavior of the passengers (for instance, getting up several times during the flight, going to the bathroom often, congregating in the aisle) and described the increasing concern she and her husband felt. She said the flight attendants were also frightened, so much so that they seemed too scared to confront the men.
Upon arrival in Los Angeles, the 14 men were interviewed by FBI agents and Federal Air Marshals, who determined the men were a Syrian band heading to play a casino in San Diego. After being checked through government databases, they were not charged with any crime or detained beyond questioning.
Jacobson continues to say that something very suspicious was going on. She's written two follow-up articles, and bloggers and mainstream media outlets have picked up the story.
This week, TIME conducted a detailed interview with the lead FAM on board Flight 327, one of the thousands of covert, armed government agents who patrol the skies. The man, who authorities did not allow to be identified by name, is 35 years old and worked previously for another federal law enforcement agency. In that job, he often dealt with foreign citizens.
The FAM, who says for security reasons cannot say exactly where he was sitting, was aware of the group of Middle Eastern men from the beginning of the flight. About 25 minutes after takeoff, a flight attendant discreetly told the FAM that she thought the men were "acting suspiciously" and were congregating near one of the lavatories in the back of the plane. He alerted another marshal on the plane and also told the flight attendant to notify the captain. A short while later, the FAM asked the flight crew member to get physical descriptions of the men and their seat numbers.
He watched the men and saw nothing out of the ordinary. In a long, single aisle plane like the Boeing 757 that was carrying Flight 327, there are often many people standing or moving around. That was the case on this flight, says the FAM, who has flown hundreds of missions in his two and half years on the job. The FAM never saw nor was he told of any example of the men interfering with the flight crew (which is a federal crime). He never saw any activity that caused him to ask the pilots to turn on the seat belt sign (which he can request) and keep people in their seats. "Nothing my main partner or I saw on Flight 327 brought us anywhere near a conclusion that we considered breaking our cover or deploying as we've been trained. And we never came close to drawing our weapons."
There was, the marshal admits, one incident that did concern him: when one of the group came from the back of the plane forward to use the lavatory in First Class. The FAM timed the man, dressed in a green jumpsuit with Arabic writing on it; he stayed about ten minutes in the toilet. Immediately after the man returned to the back to the plane, the FAM searched the washroom and found nothing. In contrast to Jacobsen's version, the FAM said at no time did any people congregate near the First Class bathroom.
When the flight was an hour from landing in Los Angeles, the FAM informed his superiors and, as is standard procedure, suggested they meet the plane to interview the men. He told the flight attendant to ask the pilot to alert the authorities at Los Angeles International Airport. That was why the flight was met by federal agents and why the men were interviewed but then allowed to leave in time to make their concert. The FAM's take? "I understand why the passenger felt some anxiety about activity on Flight 327," he says. "But that kind of activity was unusual but not a security incident. There was never a threat to the plane."

Apex after apex the new Daytona 675 inspires complete confidence. More power, lighter weight, and easier to ride, our engineers ambition was simple: to create the most perfectly balanced motorcycle. An equal blend of torque, responsiveness, agility, poise and purpose. The result is a bike with class-defining power, performance and handling. A bike that will inspire total confidence. And looks every bit as good.
The engine is brand new featuring twin injectors per cylinder, titanium valves, a 14,400 red line, and a spine tingling induction roar. It's faster on the track, better on the road and even more satisfying to own.
Front and rear KYB suspension is, of course, fully adjustable. Both front and rear suspension have the added advantage of separate low- and high-speed compression damping adjustment, making the Daytona as forgiving on the road as it is focused on the track.
Something as simple as reducing the weight of the wheels can have a dramatic effect on handling. Lighter wheels reduce unsprung mass and minimize the gyroscopic effect of a spinning wheel. This makes it easier to turn the bike in and hold a line through the corner. We've put race-derived Pirelli SuperCorsa tyres on to give you the grip to match the potential lean angles.
The new Daytona 675 is fitted with new, state-of-the-art KYB centre-fixed cartridge forks that use an internal damping cartridge which is rigidly located at both ends, rather than floating at one end as in conventional designs. Because it's supported by thinner walls, it has more room for the damping piston, so a larger diameter one can be used, improving damping accuracy.
By relocating the silencer to under the engine, rapid direction changes are now more fluid and more controlled. Rider input is rewarded with an incredibly controlled response.
Concentrating as much of the mass of the bike at the centre has increased the Daytona 675's agility and grip, so you can achieve higher lean angles through the corners. And you'll find that the bike now responds even more readily to your input through the handlebars.
The new Daytona 675 frame is made from eight castings. That means fewer welds and a lighter construction with no loss of strength or stiffness for a more focussed ride.
We sharpened the geometry with a change in the rake from 23.9° to 22.9° and a reduction in trail from 89.1mm to 87.2mm. And now, the swingarm pivot position is adjustable so you can tailor the handling more precisely to your riding style and the conditions.
The 2013 Daytona's new rigid aluminium swingarm is designed asymmetrically to make room for the improved exhaust system.You can still adjust its pivot and personalise the bike's geometry, fine-tuning it to suit your riding style and conditions.
Nissin radial callipers on the front, give amazing stopping power and confidence-inspiring feel through the lever. The rear Brembo caliper is lighter than before, helping to reduce the unsprung mass, which further improves handling and agility.
We have improved the riding position by raising the bars slightly and included a 10mm reduction in seat height. Still a focussed supersport riding stance designed to get the best out of you in track conditions.
Bespoke performance Slip-On Silencer developed with Arrow special parts. Features titanium wrap silencer and carbon fibre end cap, integral power valve and stainless steel shrouds.
Colour Coordinated Solo Seat Conversion to replace passenger seat unit.
CNC Machined Replacement Brake Reservoir for use on models fitted with radial brake master cylinder. Features include machined detailing to lid and body, laser etched branding, integral sight glass and an anodised black finish.
Gloss Black LED Indicator units designed act as a direct replacement for the standard parts.
Features include cast alloy body, with rubberised mounting foot and Triumph logo branding.
With twin injectors per cylinder the new Daytona can draw more fuel quicker when you open the throttle fully and demand more from the engine.
A first for a production Triumph, we have now fitted substantially lighter titanium valves to cope better with the higher revs. This also means lighter valve springs can be used, reducing valve train wear and friction.
We also knew that the weight reduction was enough to give us the space to add some metal to the valves without compromising the valve train, so the top of the valve 'mushroom' heads were reshaped to improve gas flow around the valve and into the combustion chamber. This means better efficiency and a boost in torque at low and medium revs.
We built the new Daytona engine with a shorter stroke allowing us to set a 500rpm higher rev ceiling at 14,400 and we increased power to 118PS and maximum torque to 70Nm. The cylinder block is now cast separately from the upper crankcase to cope with higher pressures, more torque and more power.
So the new engine now gives you higher power for longer. Bringing even more performance out of the bike as well as bringing more of the rider out of you
We enlarged the through-airflow headstock so that the intake mouth is positioned in the highest pressure zone centrally at the front of the bike. Improving flow efficiency, so that air passes in a straight line through the centre of the headstock to the airbox.
And when the air passes through the centre of the cockpit zone, it gives you even more of that distinctive three-cylinder intake snarl. And it's not just the volume of the sound that's better, it's now there over a much wider range of revs for an even more focussed, involving ride than ever before.
Our new ABS system is switchable and includes a track mode with very late intervention, minimised rear wheel lift control and the facility to slide the rear wheel on the entry to corners.
Off the track it's useful for preventing wheel lock-up when hitting a wet patch or after misjudging a corner when braking on a slippery surface such as grass.
The addition of a slip-assist clutch means hard downshifting won't result in a rear-wheel lock-up. It also serves to make the clutch lever action much lighter and smoother.
Instruments feature a lap timer, two trip computers, gear change indicators, shift lights, clock, and can be configured to show tyre pressures (where optional Tyre Pressure Monitoring System is fitted) and ABS switching. So you know more of what's going on as you ride.
Programmable gear change indicators let you manually set up where in the rev range you want the lights to come on and prompt a gear change.
You can remove the already slender number plate and rear indicator mounting quickly for track day use.
With a bike a finely tuned as the Daytona 675, a change in tyre pressure can alter handling. Our Tyre Pressure Monitoring System will let you know any change in pressure, on the track or on the road, before it becomes an issue.
To protect your Daytona from the wrong kind of attention, we've added a high technology security system. It detects a microchip in the key body and if it's not present the ignition system is disabled.
This prevents a copy of the correct key being used to switch the bike on.
Our confidence provides you with a two-year unlimited mileage warranty on your new Triumph and Genuine Accessories. Alongside the knowledge that we give you a 12 month unlimited mileage warranty on replacement parts.
The Daytona 675 carries 6,000 mile (10,000km) service intervals.

Chatting with Chappers
In recent weeks on these pages it's been journalists ahoy as we've interviewed some of our favourite football hacks. I've thoroughly enjoyed doing those and it's something we're going to return to soon, but for now anyway - it's time to spread our wings a little.
I thought for a change, we'd chat to someone who has - wait for it - presented and worked on Radio 1, 5Live, ESPN, Match of the Day, Football Italia, Rugby and League shows, been on Masterchef and Mastermind, written a book, presents podcasts, cuddly toy.....you get the picture. Mark 'Chappers' Chapman has done the Jewson lot.
After 10 (ten!) years on Radio 1 he moved on to 5Live where he is currently living the dream. As someone who has 5Live on all day and all of the night I'm delighted that Chappers agreed to talk to EFW.
So pull up a chair as we discuss necking bottles of wine with Danny Baker and David Moyes at the World Cup, potentially exciting news from the BBC about Non-League Day, his open views on Manchester United - you may have heard of them - and whether or not he'd like to slip into Gary Lineker's Match of the Day presenting shoes:
I'm exhausted just reading your CV. What's been the highlight of your work as a presenter thus far? Oh god. The first question and it is impossible to answer. I always wanted to host the Radio 1 breakfast show as a kid so presenting that (with other people) while I worked there was a highlight. When I got the call in 1999 to say I had the job to do the sport on the breakfast show I burst into tears. This will sound twee but I work on what I call goosebump moments. So when I presented a MOTD live game and heard the theme in my earpiece, I got goosebumps. The first time I said 'This is BBC Radio 5live, it's 5 o'clock, here's sports report' and heard that iconic music I got goosebumps. I am very very lucky.
What where you World Cup highs and lows aside from the actual football? The actual football wasn't a high anyway. The highlight was spending time with so many football people and hearing their stories. 3 hours of beer, Danny Baker and Chris Waddle and their Gazza stories left me laughing so much I couldn't stop coughing. David Moyes asking me after some of the games, if I was a manager who I would have signed from the 90 minutes I had just watched, and one night at 2am, having just got back from a game and nearly been killed by a dreadful driver, sharing a bottle of red wine by an open log fire with Moyes and Baker. The lowlights included seeing 5live's Darren Fletcher in his training gear and more seriously our inability to actually go out and explore country as I had done in Japan and Germany, because of health and safety people who were worried about what might happen to you. I spent a lot of my time in Joburg and guess what? It was no different to any other big city in the world. Act like a tit and you could be in danger. Be sensible and you were fine.
Do you find it easy to switch off from sport when you're not at work? Why would I want to switch off from sport? I am a fan of most sports so will watch or listen to anything, though I find a F1 a bit of struggle.
How easy it to broadcast whilst someone is shouting instructions in your earpiece? You get used to it. Sometimes you ignore them, sometimes you take notice of them. I have had plenty of practice over the years because I am used to my mum or my other half bellowing instructions at me. Most of the time I ignore them, sometimes I listen to them.
You've covered a plethora of sports. Have you ever had to bluff your way through on one or are you an expert in every field, pitch, track, court and course? I think most people who have listened to me would say I am an expert in none of them. I like to think I know my stuff about most of them but the most important thing is not to bluff your way through it. If i didn't know something about a sport I was doing on air I would ask the correspondent or the interviewee. I don't think you should ever be scared to admit not knowing something. I think people can tell you if you try to blag it.
Have you ever dropped a Denis Norden type blooper live on air? Fortunately not. Or not one that comes to mind. I have missed links through being stuck in a toilet. I also once said that Altrincham Ice Rink was a great place to meet 13 year old girls over a slush puppy. It was during a link with Dave when we were reminiscing about our youth. However I forgot to sat that it was good to meet 13 year olds when I was a 13 year old myself. Hundreds of people texted in asking if I was on a register.
Jake Humphrey deserves 5 FIFA stars for holding it together in a professional manor whilst presenting from Sheff Wed v Palace at Hillsborough last season when all hell was breaking loose around his commentary box. Have you ever found yourself in a compromising position whilst broadcasting? He was great that day. He is a top broadcaster. Every time you do a live piece on telly there will always be one nobhead in the background trying to get himself on camera. It is one of the first rules of tv. They are normally on a mobile waving at their mate who is probably telling them they are on the telly. I know, it's hilarious. And it never ceases to make me laugh every time I see it. Which is daily.
Hats off for tackling the subject of homosexuality in football on that documentary. How did you find that experience? Refreshing. The fact that a top flight footballers hasn't come out since Justin Fashanu is always blamed on the fans. They would make the player's life hell is the argument. By the end of the documentary I doubted that. I am sick of football fans not being given the credit they deserve. A minority would not accept a gay footballer, but the majority couldn't care less. The media are the problem I think and some of the dinosaurs who work in PR. They wouldn't leave the poor bloke alone, they would delve into his past and I think his life would be hell for 6 months or so. He would be beseiged. The player that does come out has to be older, experienced and at the top of his game. It also needs more straight men to stand up in football and speak out for the gay community.
I'm guessing the BBC gets it in the neck from willy-waving (© The Guardian's Daniel Taylor) Liverpool and Manchester United fans accusing them of biased coverage on every level? Not to my knowledge is it doesn't. I am not just saying that to play the corporate line, I genuinely am not aware of it.
How easy is it for you to maintain balanced view given the fact you support Manchester United? Very easy. It helps that they were my local team. I am a Manc and when I started going they were crap! I think it helps with other fans that I am not a glory hunting cockney red. I am also open about who I support. I can't understand why in this day and age people try and cover up who they support. You shouldn't be working in sport if you don't have a team. How can you have a passion for the game without following a team. I have a team in every single sport going from Sale in rugby union to Hull in Superleague to Lancashire in cricket to Boston Red Sox in baseball. I can still be objective and critical and praise other sides. My biggest worry this summer was if Kenny Dalglish had become Liverpool manager. I work with Kelly a lot. She is a friend and you don't want a friend's dad to do badly, and yet he could have been Liverpool manager! As it is they have still appointed a really nice guy and someone I have worked with several times in Roy Hodgson so it is still a bit of an uncomfortable position for me.
It must be hugely frustrating that Sir Alex still doesn't talk to the BBC? I couldn't care less.
The Glazers have saddled the club with over £700m of debt. Green and gold until they're sold? Definitely. It annoys me how narrow minded the media have been. So many people have said well you have won all these trophies under them so it can't be all bad. Yes, but in that time my season ticket has gone up from 500 quid to 950. Nearly 50% in 4 years. Oh and despite that we are still massively in debt.
You can always support City if get fed up with it, they're coming good now eh? Never never never. But I think it is great for the derby. I went to two of the derbies last year - one at Eastlands in the league and the 2nd leg of the Carling Cup at Old Trafford. And the atmosphere was the best it has ever been for the derby. They are a proper threat, a proper team and I think that's what Manchester needs. You want big games where you feel sick and nervous in the week leading up to it don't you?
Do you know anyone in sport with a better taste in music than Pat Nevin? I quite like my own collection actually. Does Pat switch between Stone Roses and Girls Aloud. I don't think so. Mark wins.
You must have a whole host of people to choose from in the 'worst taste in music' category? Any footballer who does an interview with a pair of massive headphones round their next. They just scream out, 'I am listening to bland r n b shite'.
Radio 1 or 5Live? I love them both. Radio 1 is the biggest radio station in the world and it matters to the nation. Look at the debate that goes on around its breakfast show, whoever is doing it. I am so glad I did 10 years there But I was never as happy at Radio 1 as I am at 5live. Never To be in the thick of sports coverage and journalism is an honour. I get to use my brain now and not just play this grumpy character who comes out with sarcastic one liners
Who is your best friend in football? Boney. We have played in the same team since going to University in 1991, and we are still going now. I don't want to be friends with anybody in the professional game. How can I be objective if they are my friends?
September 4 marks the first ever Non-League Day. Given the fact there are no Premiership or Championship games on that day, fans of those clubs are being urged to actively support their local Non-League team. Are you aware of this project and will the BBC be covering it in anyway? We are and I have suggested that I present 5live sport from a non league game that day. It is being investigated.
Who is your local Non-League club and have you been to see them play? Altrincham. I would watch them when United were away as a kid. I still try and go every now and then when I am back seeing Mum and Dad. For most of the past decade we have been relegated from the Conference only for another club to go bust, or have played 17 players on the pitch in one game and had points deducted so have always been rescued at the last minute. Last season tho we reached the dizzy heights of mid table. Alty were a strong old club back in the day then as soon as promotion to the football league came in they fell away, bar one season when Barnet pipped us to promotion.
In your book 'Heroes, Hairbands and Hissy Fits' you were quite critical of modern football and players. Have any players brought you to task over that? Firstly thank you for being one of the 3 people who have read it. It is still in bargain bins up and down the country or on Amazon and 7 paperback copies will be released just after Christmas. Nobody has brought me to task no, probably because they haven't read it. I try not to slag people off and I don't go down the route of blaming money for everything. It's more the little things that wind up, John Terry wearing the socks over his knees, William Gallas wearing 10 at Arsenal, and ticker tape and fireworks ruining every trophy presentation for example. Grumpy old man eh?
What's your most treasured piece of football memorabilia? Mine and my Dad's two tickets to Utd v Wolves in October '81. Framed by my dad and given to me for my birthday a few years ago. It was the first game we ever went to.
I've just started listening to the Chappers podcast. Do you plan on branching out from purely reporting on the Premiership? We try and do a bit of everything - football league, europe, stats, refereeing problems. I think it has the Premier League in the podcast title but that is only a small part of what we cover.
You give Roy Meredith a bit of stick on that show for being a font of all footballing knowledge. He'd be the first name down your pub quiz team though right? I give him stick cos he claims to support 5 different teams across the continent. His football knowledge is amazing. I am surprised he has ever kissed a girl to be honest with you, let alone got a family. But yes if I ever did a pub quiz he would be on my team.
You've got [has a quick look] 20,377 followers on Twitter. That's bloody impressive! Do you tease your fellow colleagues with your legion of followers? That's not a lot in the Twitter world is it? I think most people followed me thinking I was the other Mark Chapman and are now right royally disppointed that they aren't getting an insight into a life in a high security American prison but instead are reading about Craig Bellamy going to Cardiff and Masterchef.
Do you have to change your style of presenting for the ESPN work? I have to wear a shirt and tie but that's the only change. As a presenter you should be true to yourself. Try and be something you are not and you are in all sorts of trouble.
When Gary Lineker moves on do you fancy stepping into his MOTD presenting shoes? Horrible question - say yes and you bill it as I want Lineker's job, say no and you will just think that I am lying. I want to be challenged as a presenter. 5live sport challenges me, 606 challenges me, Final Score and PTI both challenge me and make me think on my feet. Would MOTD be a challenge? I don't know until I have done one.
And finally, who would you like to see interviewing next on European Football Weekends, and do you have his/her number? If you are trying to find out if I have the numbers of famous people - then I can offer you one of the Chuckle brothers or Patrick Kielty. I know, life in the showbiz fast lane eh?

Nothing if not predictable ...
It was always on the cards that there would be a cushion to sit atop my new quilt. It is the best way to use up the scraps from a bigger project and I wanted to eek out the Flea Market Fancy love as much as possible.
I decided on making the back-to-front version of the quilt block by using the plain white as the flower.
It gave me lots of scope to keep playing with my perle threads for the hand-quilting. There is something extraordinarily satisfying about a simple running stitch, both in terms of actually doing it and the finished result.
So my bed now has a summer look, and one that I am extremely happy with. Although with this wonderful warm spell, the quilt is being thrown off with abandon!

WOW! It's gorgeous and it goes perfectly with your quilt. I LOVE that you reversed the block -- SO very clever!!!ReplyDelete
Your quilt and cushion are beautiful and so neatly done.ReplyDelete
Beautiful! I love the coloured stitches ... I can tell you enjoyed every stitch xxReplyDelete
utterly gorgeous xReplyDelete
It's lovely! And I couldn't agree more about running stitch :)ReplyDelete
That bed looks so cosy all gussied up ... I so like that quilt!
I love the white version of that four petalled flower. It's perfect. Also I could stare at your hand stitching all day (!)ReplyDelete
Good grief, but you are clever.ReplyDelete
absolutely beautiful Tracy!!ReplyDelete
The detail...the patience - they both look beautiful and fabulous.ReplyDelete

Loving those three little running stitch rows so much, a beautiful cushion xReplyDelete
So beautifully made only sweet dreams will visit you. : )XReplyDelete
Hi! Thanks for leaving me a comment, I really enjoy reading them and I will try to reply if I can find an email address for you...

Hey everybody,
So about 28 hours ago my GF was throwing a stick to my dog, but the final time she threw it the stick bounced up and he lunged into it and it went into his throat which scared him... it came right out luckily he was able to back up. about 2 hours later he started drooling like hangy snotty drool (lol), and shaking, so I looked up symptoms and found poisoning, so at that point I gave him a capful of peroxide, and just as I was about to give him the second capful, I thought WAIT what if it just hurts to swallow from the stick. So I held off, and noticed when he ate he would softly whine every few bites, or if he yawns he will whine a little .... he isnt drooling anymore, only shakes when I try to open his mouth to look at his throat... I examined his poop and pee and neither had blood or discolourment. He eats and drinks. Acts like himself for the most part, he may seem a little depressed at times.
Would it be safe to assume that his throat just hurts and nothing life threatening is going on, seeing that there is no evidence of blood or anything and it has been 28 hours?
Thanks in advance!

Start seedlings, nurture tender young plants, and develop tropicals or sensitive vegetation. Easy to set up greenhouses are designed in several sizes to meet a gardener's nursery needs like compact units that will protect a handful of container plants. Add shelving to larger walk-in sizes for multiple maintenance. Coverings protect from wind and UV damage, and all these are economical options that make it convenient to purchase more than one.
Each is designed to provide the perfect surroundings in sun or shade placement and will keep winds and weather at bay. From small ground covers to reach-in shelving to fully-scaled professional units, there's a style for every level of gardener and nature lover. Protect your starter plants from frost or nurture exotics and tender perennials in an array of greenhouse settings, and many of these are economical enough to make it convenient to purchase more than one.

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 20 (UPI) -- Kyle Van Noy scored on two fourth-quarter turnovers Thursday to lift Brigham Young over San Diego State 23-6 in the Poinsettia Bowl.
Van Noy and Jamaal Williams turned fumbles by quarterback Adam Dingwell into touchdowns 17 seconds apart to stun the Aztecs and Van Noy added a touchdown thanks to another mistake by Dingwell in the final minutes
BYU ended San Diego State's seven-game winning streak that had included a road victory over Boise State.
The Cougars were trailing 6-3 early in the fourth quarter, but appeared set to take the lead when they marched to the San Diego State 4-yard line.
The Aztecs, however, escaped that threat when BYU quarterback James Lark threw an interception just short of the goal.
That touched off a quick turn of events that went BYU's way and ultimately decided the game.
Dingwell was sacked in the end zone on the first play after the interception and his fumble was recovered by Van Noy to put BYU in front with 12:32 to play.
One play after the ensuing kickoff, Dingwell fumbled again and Williams promptly ran 14 yards for another touchdown.
Van Noy completed the BYU onslaught by picking off a Dingwell pass and returning it 17 yards for a score with 6:09 remaining.
Brigham Young, which once competed against San Diego State in the Mountain West Conference but now plays as an independent, finished the season at 8-5. Its campaign was highlighted by a loss, a 3-point setback to current No. 1 Notre Dame in a game the Cougars led at halftime.
San Diego State, which was co-champion of the MWC with Boise State and Fresno State, wound up at 9-4.
Lark completed 22-of-41 passes for 237 yards while Dingwell went 10-of-19 for 121. He had four turnovers and another apparent interception was overturned by the replay official.
San Diego State played in a bowl game for a school-record third straight year. It was the second bowl game this year involving a team from the MWC and representatives from that conference have lost in both of them.

- Yield
- Makes 8 individual corn puddings
- 6 ears fresh corn, shucked
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cool
- 3 large eggs, beaten lightly
- Preheat oven to 350°F. and butter eight 1/2-cup ramekins
- Into a large bowl coarsely grate corn. With back of a large knife, gently scrape each cob and add any remaining pulp and liquid to bowl. (There should be about 2 cups grated corn with liquid.)
- In a bowl whisk together remaining ingredients and stir into corn until combined well. Ladle mixture evenly into ramekins. Put ramekins in a baking pan just large enough to hold them and add enough hot water to reach halfway up sides of ramekins.
- Bake corn puddings in middle of oven 50 minutes, or until tops are slightly puffed and golden and firm to the touch. Remove ramekins from water and cool slightly on rack, about 5 minutes. Run a knife around edges of ramekins and invert each pudding onto a serving plate.

I recently placed an order for 1000 unassembled boxes from Mann Lake, with the special request that no handholds be milled on the short ends of the boxes (we groove the insides for partitions to make them 3-way mating nucs). An 8-hour drive was made up to their factory to pick up all the equipment, and upon returning home, realized that the short ends all had the handholds milled into them.
I got in touch with Chuck at Mann Lake and he immediately made arrangements to correct this. Long story short. Within a week, the factory had made new box ends w/o handholds and they were delivered for free.
Excellent customer service like this always impresses me and leaves a lasting impression.

The 1911 census for England and Wales is now freely available in a restricted form via the FamilySearch website at https://www.familysearch.org/search/collection/show#uri=http://hr-search-api:8080/searchapi/search/collection/1921547
A returned search will list name, age, gender, birthplace and registration district where recorded for the census. No indication of others present in the household is provided, nor is this possible as the source information is not included. For all results, a link will take you to the FindmyPast website (www.findmypast.co.uk) and access to the original image and full details, for the requisite fee. Nevertheless, if you wish to make an initial enquiry concerning someone's presence in an area, it is a useful tool. It is worth pointing out that a free search can be done on FindmyPast itself without logging in, but all that is returned is name, age and registration district, so the FamilySearch site does offer the advantage of listing place of birth also.

The Navigation aid for the Blind headset is a GPS device, which not only works through speech recognition, but also uses obstacle detection technology that alerts the blind of any sleeping bums or other obstructions he could trip over as he is being guided to his destination.
In 2003, we reported on a GPS navigation device that led the visually impaired to their impending doom due to an "inaccuracy" of the system.
Although this new GPS device is not as cuddly as a guide dog, it is made up of one earpiece and microphone, which would allow the blind a certain anonymity, kind of like Daredevil, in that he would no longer need a cane or furry pet, which would leave both of his hands free ... to fight crime, perhaps?

RText has almost always had a "Source Browser," a panel docked on the left (by default) that gave an outline of the code in the currently active editor, similar to the "Outline" view in Eclipse. This component is powered by ctags, either the standard one if you're on *nix, or Exuberant Ctags on Windows (or again on *nix if configured that way). Using the former buys you outlines for C source only, while using the latter gets you outlines for any programming language supported by both Exuberant Ctags and RText (really, what's supported by RSyntaxTextArea).
But not too long ago, as part of my Language Support add-on library efforts, I also implemented an outline tree specifically for Java, almost perfectly mimicking Eclipse's Outline view. I've been wanting to use it in RText for awhile now, but figured since it was currently Java-specific (won't display an outline for any other language), it couldn't be used. Well, I finally bit the bullet and made RText's SourceBrowser "pluggable." Languages can register a specific tree view for themselves, but if they don't, it falls back on the standard ctags-based tree. This allows me to register and use the JavaOutlineTree class only when editing Java code. Here's a screenshot:
As you can see, the Source Browser now provides much more detailed, and much nicer looking, information for Java classes.

GE is trying to explain the breakthrough of capturing lost energy and something called dynamic braking. I would care, but watching an egg, christmas ornament, water balloon, and watermelon fall in succession (and slow motion!) has me mesmerised. It's...beautiful. Watch it.
Okay, now that my mind is off balls (did you see that water balloon explode?!), the video was made by GE to explain their hybrid diesel-electric trains. GE explains that energy has been traditionally wasted by motorised vehicles when they brake. The energy generated to stop a moving vehicle is dissipated as heat, lost into the atmosphere.
For GE, their hybrid dynamic braking system captures and stores that energy, then reuses it. This means 10% less CO2 emissions and 10% less diesel fuel than a standard locomotive. The ball shaped objects dropping are supposedly an illustration of the physics behind their science. I just want them to drop more things on that jelly pad. [GE via Fast Company]

Denver man bludgeoned with hammer was planning move
Given up at birth and twice by successive adoptive parents, Erickson Daniel Scott learned early to fend for himself.
When he turned 18, he graduated from California's foster care system to the streets, where he survived by selling marijuana to homeless kids.
He moved to California and later to Denver in a few years.
"He kind of showed up one day and offered to do work at some apartments I owned in exchange for rent," said Evan Frank, 47.
It was a move up from the streets where Scott had been a popular figure among teens and young adults referred to by 16th Street Mall vendors as mall rats.
Scott had unusual responsibilities at the apartments: He picked up trash and he settled disputes by the young, drug-using renters in a role much like a bouncer, Frank said.
"It was a rougher neighborhood," he said. "He was good at stepping in and making sure calmer heads prevailed. He was a good people person. But when he needed to get into peoples' face he could do that, too. He didn't have to use his fists. It was more intimidation."
Scott didn't have a family so his mall rat friends became his unofficial family.
"Princess," a 15-year-old homeless girl who met Scott in the mid-1990s, said after her parents kicked her out of their home she and her friend Erin were welcome to crash at Scott's house at 358 Lincoln St. whenever they needed to.
"It wasn't like he was going to molest us," Princess said. "I was like his kid sister. I felt safe around him."
At the same time she was a little bit afraid of him. He was a drug dealer who sported a blue Mohawk.
He had about four guns and kept a 9-mm hand gun near his bed. It was the nature of the business he was in. But with Princess and Erin, he only showed his softer side.
One Thanksgiving he invited the two girls to his house for dinner.

Entrepreneur Dan necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 87 diseños de 31 diseñadores freelance.
We need to have a logo developed for a new dating site that will be geared towards environmentalists, health food lovers, "save the planet" folks, etc.
First of all, don't bother to look at PlanetEarth.net right now. It's pointed at another site I own, which has nothing to do with this project.
We are creating a new English language dating site geared towards the environmentalist, new age, healthy eating, "save the planet," liberal crowd.
Needed is a cool, new, modern, "Earthy," international, logo, which will of course set the tone for the look and feel of the site itself.
Have a look at the current layout of our home page. Don't let the colors influence you. Your design will set the stage for the colors we end up using throughout the site.
Earthy colors are probably the right direction, but I'm open to some progressive colors as well (read into that whatever you wish)...
We expect to award the winning prize within 1 week after the end of the competition.
I'm going to give you folks some freedom of creativity.
The logo should probably contain a globe (either realistic or surreal), along with something that indicates this is a dating, romance, people connecting site.
I've seen globes modified into the shape of a heart, so that's an option...
It should incorporate the domain name, especially the ".net" to differentiate us from the .com, which we have no connection with.
Logo orientation should be landscape considering it will be located across the top of the site. Perhaps minor variations can turn it into a vertically oriented logo for other purposes... open to suggestions.
Format: Photoshop and/or Illustrator files. If you provide a photoshop file, I want enough resolution so that I have freedom to do with it as I please. Bigger originals are better.
Added after #27: Two things I would like to see someone create... (1) use a photo realistic globe and (2) add some kind of radiating circles around the globe to give the impression the globe is, well, radiating...
Well, I don't want to put too many restrictions on your creativity.
Since this is a website logo, and we don't have lots of space... don't make it too complicated.
Avoid fonts that are hard to read at low resolutions.
Avoid looking toooo luvy duvy or cutesy, if you get my drift.

La Vie
People don't talk anymore. We text. We email. We double-tap to like. We make Facebook a transitive verb.
What a pleasure, then, to sink into the passenger side of this all-black Mercedes SUV and have a conversation with Thomas Bühner. This is not, I should point out, an interview. He's the chef of Michelin three-starred La Vie and I'm just some guy he has invited to eat there. He's fifty years old and I'm not yet thirty. He drives.
I pretend I'm just excited and grateful to be here, but I shift about in my seat, anxiously. My legs stop shaking but my teeth start chattering when I open the door. We've arrived at the kitchen garden in Bad Essen, today a 4,000 m² grid of snow, ice and twigs. This is nature's graveyard shift — winter in the upper latitudes of Germany. Continue reading

Why learn R?
R is a programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics supported by the R Foundation for Statistical Computing. While R is widely used among statisticians and data miners for statistical software and data analysis, it is becoming popular among data scientists as well. Proficiency in R has become a standard requirement for many data science and statistician-related jobs.
R jobs
According to Burning Glass, there were ~50K job postings in the last 12 months requiring R as a skill. Some of the functional job titles requiring this skill are Business Intelligence Analyst, Operations Research Analyst, Management Analyst, and Market Research Analyst. If your work involves data analysis, modeling, or visualization, R is a powerful skill to add to your portfolio.

Delgado excited for baseball's return to Panama
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs right-hander Randall Delgado is looking forward to joining his teammates for Opening Day in Australia in March, but he will also keep an eye on another international showcase much closer to home.
Major League Baseball is returning to Panama for the first time since 1947 when the Yankees and the Marlins face each other next month for two games at Panama City's Rod Carew Stadium. The games will be held few hours away from Delgado's offseason home in Las Tablas.
The "Legend Series" will honor the legacy of Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who is also from Panama, on March 15-16.
"Baseball in Panama is getting better and the country is getting what you can call a baseball fever," Delgado said. "The league is stronger. It's not as big as the other leagues, but there is talent there. The whole country is waiting for Mariano and the Yankees to come, not just baseball fans."
Delgado, who is out of Minor League options, is competing for a spot in the D-backs' starting rotation. He can also pitch out of the bullpen and said he is keeping an open mind.
"I'm a starter, but obviously, I'll do whatever they want me to do," he said. "I don't know what's going to happen and we'll see how Spring Training goes. I'll just do my job and it doesn't matter where it is."
And yes, Delgado plans on watching the "Legend Series," or at least the final few innings of each game.
"You think Mariano will throw an inning or two?" Delgado asked. "I know he is retired, but wouldn't that be great?"

Fukushima Watch: Small Step Toward Cutting Water Flowing Into Site
After a near year-long delay, new measures are being put in place to reduce the amount of groundwater flowing into the contaminated areas of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
The ever-increasing amount of highly contaminated water at the plant has been a problem since the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami led to meltdowns at three reactors and the need to keep a steady flow of cooling water in place ever since. That has raised concerns of marine contamination in the ocean waters adjacent to the plant.

Men's Spring Summer 2016 Collection
"No limits" This is the mantra for Bally's SS16 men's collection
No geographical boundaries, no clothing imperatives, no conformity. The Californian beatnik travels effortlessly from the lakes in Switzerland - in python-skin hiking boots and a Swiss army inspired backpack - to the hills overlooking LA or San Francisco, like a boy scout dandy straight out of Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom. From this culture clash between the old and the new world, appears Bally's SS16 mood.

Why would your government give up annual revenues of $2.7 billion in order to obtain $100 million? This must count as one of the most short sighted and potentially dangerous decisions a government has ever made." - Warren (Smokey) Thomas, OPSEU President.
Toronto (18 May 2012) - Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU/NUPGE) President Warren (Smokey) Thomas' demand that ServiceOntario remain in public hands was formally read into the official record of Ontario's Legislative Assembly on May 15. In correspondence to Premier Dalton McGuinty, Thomas said the government must withdraw the controversial section of this year's budget bill that privatizes ServiceOntario.
Hamilton East-Stoney Creek Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Paul Miller, who acts as the New Democrat Party's critic for Government Services, read Thomas' letter to McGuinty into Hansard in the Legislature. Miller went on to describe the scheme to privatize ServiceOntario as a "nightmare in the making." Later in Question Period, Miller asked Ontario's Finance Minister Dwight Duncan, "Can the Minister explain why he is pushing ahead with legislation that replicates many of the failures of ORNGE?"
Duncan failed to reply directly to Miller's question and instead repeated his tired and familiar reply about getting the province "back to balance." As on many previous occasions, Duncan could not explain how giving away to private investors a valuable public asset that adds $2.7 billion annually to the provincial treasury will help Ontario balance its budget and invest in essential public services at the same time.
OPSEU/NUPGE is encouraging the public to voice your concerns with this move to privatize ServiceOntario by sending an email to your MPP to tell them that tossing away annual revenues of $2.7 billion by privatizing ServiceOntario qualifies as one of the most short-sighted and, potentially, dangerous decisions our government has ever made. It's not too late to have this reckless decision turned back.

Officials: Metrodome functional despite roof collapse
Metrodome officials said Monday that the collapse of the stadium's roof doesn't make it obsolete.
In responding to critics pushing for a new stadium for the Vikings, Metropolitan Sports Facilities Commission director Bill Lester emphasized that it's the first time in 28 years that the dome roof has collapsed.
"The stadium is functional," Lester told MPR's Morning Edition. "It functionally could last a while longer."
Lester said the turf, which is covered in snow, can be vacuumed. The concession stands and restrooms also were not affected by the roof collapse, he said.
Officials from Birdair Structures Inc. will arrive Monday to assess the damage and discuss repair options. Lester said it isn't clear how long it will take to repair the roof and reinflate it.
One option is patching it, Lester said. He said the other thing the experts might be able to do is assess the Metrodome's snowmelt practices, which he said have worked fine over the years.
Lester attributed the collapse to a "unique combination" of high winds, cold temperatures and heavy snow load. Crews had been melting snow on the roof Saturday but were pulled off at 6 p.m. for safety reasons. The dome collapsed at about 5 a.m. Monday.
The Vikings had been scheduled to play the New York Giants on Sunday. That game was moved to Monday night and will be played at Ford Field in Detroit.
Meanwhile, indoor temperatures at the Metrodome have dipped because of the hole in the roof.
"It's absolutely freezing," Lester said. "It does give you a taste of what outdoor football might be like in Minnesota in December."

(More) Power to the People: Ford's New 662-HP Beast Reclaims the High Ground, Posts 11.6-Second Quarter
The great Pony Car War has been raging longer than many of us have been alive, with countless skirmishes between Chevrolet and Ford over the last 40-plus years. The latest battle began with the arrival of Chevy's new 580-hp Camaro ZL1. But Ford has quickly regained the high ground with its all-new 2013 Ford Shelby GT500. Boasting 662 horsepower and 631 lb-ft of torque, the GT500 is the most powerful production car made in America and a fitting tribute to the late Carroll Shelby — one of the leading generals in Ford's decades-long war against Chevy.
For our first official drive of the 2013 GT500, we headed to Atlanta, where we sampled the latest super 'Stang at the track and out on the open road. Rolling along on the highway, the GT500's extra horsepower and torque isn't as noticeable as you might think. For instance, in top gear at around 80 mph, turning roughly 1500 rpm, it's a complete pussycat, with minimal engine and exhaust noise. No, it's the getting to 80 that's the fun part. Hammer it from a stop and the rush of 631 lb-ft engulfs your body, pinning your head and torso to the optional $1595 Recaro bucket as the GT500 blasts from 0-60 mph in a scant 3.5 seconds, on toward a quarter-mile time of 11.6 seconds at 125.7 mph. For context, the previous GT500, which put out a relatively pedestrian 550 hp and 510 lb-ft, needed 4.1 seconds to reach 60 and 12.4 seconds at 115.8 mph to eclipse the quarter, while the aforementioned ZL1 required 3.8 and 12.1 @ 117.4, respectively. Big power equals big improvements for the GT500. But beware of that big power: get too overzealous with the throttle, and the tires will quickly resemble burnt toast. Luckily, the new GT500's obscene power is absolutely controllable.
So how do you control 662 horses? Launch control. First seen on the Boss 302, the new launch control system in the GT500 has been upgraded with RPM hold, a feature intended for the more advanced drag racer. Set the desired RPM via the track app screen, flat-foot the throttle, quickly lift off the clutch — but don't dump or sidestep – and the system slips the clutch and feeds power in relation to the traction available. You can turn on the launch control at any time by pushing the button on the dash, but it is only active once the vehicle is up to operating temperature. During testing, full launch control with traction intervention provided the fastest and most repeatable runs. The test team was wary of getting enough traction (a reasonable concern when you have 662 horsepower), but the new system allowed for easy launches: simply dial in the revs, release the clutch, and hold on.
One trait we noticed during the drive was that the clutch is much stiffer than in cooking-grade Mustangs, but not difficult to operate. Upgraded to handle the increased torque, the clutch is 10 mm larger than that in the 2012 GT500, with stronger springs and higher-performance friction material. Further, the clutch housing has been strengthened and there's a 33-percent increase in the clutch clamp. Ford also made the engagement point higher on the clutch pedal uptake and revised the shifter of the Tremec 6-speed manual. Roughly the same as that in the 2012 GT500, but with every component improved, the tweaked Tremec boasts stronger gears and an output shaft with a new 40-tooth setup. As a result, some of the shifter's notchiness is gone, which makes it easier to get in and out of gear, but you still can't rush it. The GT500 now also comes with a one-piece carbon fiber driveshaft. Another key to cracking the 200-mph barrier, according to Ford, the driveshaft is 14 pounds lighter, helping reduce rotational inertia, noise, and vibration, while increasing durability.
Since our drive consisted of smooth highway miles for most of the way, we didn't get much of a chance to truly experience the differences between the car's comfort and sport suspension settings. All-new Bilstein electronically adjustable dampers, part of the $3495 SVT Performance Package, are adjustable front and rear, and can be set to normal or sport with the simple push of a button. Normal provides a smooth and comfortable highway ride while sport is specifically tuned for race-track use or a Sunday drive on a favorite canyon road. Not surprising, over the few seams and road irregularities we did encounter, the softer setting seemed to absorb the imperfections, while sport relayed every nook and cranny. It doesn't rattle your teeth but it feels noticeably firmer. New 19-inch front/20-inch rear forged wheels were also deemed necessary in order to help handle the GT500's higher performance capabilities. Nodules protruding from the wheels' bead surfaces embed in the tires (still Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G:2) to help prevent the tire from slipping on the rim under hard acceleration and braking.
The track was where we really got to experience how the new GT500 differs from the previous car. Whereas the old car tended to exhibit front-end push, the 2013 displays crisper turn-in, the front Goodyears really biting into the asphalt and responding quickly to steering inputs, allowing you to be more aggressive with the throttle application mid-corner. In comfort mode there's a hint of body roll, but in sport the car stays nice and flat. With all that extra power and torque, it's easy to kick the rear end out, but — unlike the old car — when you get the rear loose in the 2013 GT500, its slide is progressive. The last-gen car would start to go, then suddenly it was gone. The 2013 is far more predictable, so it's easier to modulate exactly how far you want to swing the rear out.
During our figure-eight testing, the GT500 posted an impressive 24.2 sec @ 0.80 g result, managing an equally impressive 0.98 g (avg) lateral acceleration. Even better: comparing the new Shelby to its predecessor, testing director Kim Reynolds declared it, "simply a much easier car to drive." Part of the improvement is attributable to the Torsen differential — another piece of the SVT Performance Package – that provides a full-time torque-sensing system to help optimize traction and handling. Still, the old car, while more of a handful, was no slouch, edging its successor with a figure-eight time of 24.0 sec @ 0.82 g and maximum lateral acceleration of 1.01 g (avg).
"You do have to countersteer a fair amount at times, but it isn't excessive and you can easily stay ahead of the tail; it's never snapping so quickly that your arms have to race to catch it," Reynolds added. "That said, you do need to respect the power here; you absolutely cannot just slam down the pedal exiting a corner. It has to be fed in."
In order to achieve the GT500's monumental performance increase, Ford first upped the engine displacement from 5.4 liters to 5.8 liters. Since the cylinder walls were thinner, Ford deployed its plasma-transferred wire arc cylinder-liner coating technology, replacing the old cast-iron-sleeve design. The liners improve performance and durability while also reducing friction and lowering heat transfer. The cylinder heads have been cross-drilled into the engine block, adding 3 mm coolant passages. Oil-squirters have been aimed at the underside of the piston to help keep heat in check. Ford extensively reworked the rest of the cooling system of the GT500 in order to further beat the heat. All GT500's have a charge air cooler with its own separate heat exchanger fed by a separate coolant pump. If you opt for the $2995 SVT Track Package, you also get an axle-cooler and pump, a transmission cooler, and an external engine-oil-to-air cooler.
The engine internals of the 2013 GT500's 5.8-liter have all been redesigned or modified. A cast aluminum oil pan allows for complex shapes and now holds 8.5 quarts. The windage tray/pan gasket keeps windage below 5 percent, even at high RPM. The new forged-steel crankshaft was developed in an effort to handle the extra strain on the low end. A bigger engine needs more fuel, so the injectors have been increased from 47 lb/hour to 55 lb/hour. To deliver all that juice, two 5.0-liter Mustang pumps were added, capable of pumping 79 gallons per hour. Force feeding the new 5.8-liter is a new Eaton 2.3L Roots-type supercharger that has an increased displacement over the 5.4-liter and uses a smaller pulley at 69 mm compared to 72 mm.
To help achieve the lofty 200-mph top-speed goal Ford set for the new GT500, significant modifications had to be made to the car's front end. Every opening has been modified or enlarged to minimize drag, maximize downforce, and improve cooling. The most noticeable changes are the new front splitter and downforce-generating front grilles. Ford says the changes have resulted in a 14-percent reduction in drag and a 66-percent increase in front-end downforce — essential to getting the GT500 to its claimed 200-mph Vmax, which engineers had personally promised Carroll Shelby they would deliver.
To be an all around performance vehicle, the GT500 has to stop as well as it accelerates, and it more than gets the job done, erasing 60 mph in just 101 feet (the previous GT500 needed 104 feet, the ZL1 needed 108 feet). The test team did report that the brakes started to smell after several hard stops, but they did not feel any noticeable fade. Ticking the Performance Package box gets you a larger front stabilizer bar (34.6 mm — an increase of 1.4 mm), which helps keep the GT500 flatter, minimizing body roll during cornering. The front brakes have massive 15-inch vented Brembo rotors and 6-piston Brembo aluminum front calipers with high-performance friction pads. The rear brakes are 13.8-inches (2-inches larger than a Mustang GT's) with single-piston calipers. New front-brake dustshields help protect parts from heat while providing maximum cooling airflow.
Even with all this newfound power, the 2013 GT500 is more livable and user friendly than it ever was before. Ford has improved its monster Mustang in every way possible — better handling, more technology , increased power, and even a 1-mpg improvement in highway fuel economy (avoiding the gas-guzzler tax). This truly is the most potent factory pony car the Blue Oval has ever produced. Savor it while you can because this is likely the last major change we will see to the GT500 before the next-generation Mustang debuts with an independent rear suspension. Will that car make 700 hp? If it's still wearing the Shelby name, you can bet the answer will be a resounding yes.
