If a tax plan isn't reached to fund the budget by July 1, what would that mean for the state?
Gov. Guinn has already announced he may be forced to shutdown state government.
What happens next may all depend on the distribution school account.
Lawmakers tied the school distribution act to the tax package, as a last minute move before the legislature adjourned its regular session.
By doing that, school administrators now have no idea what funding they'll get this year from the state. And legislators haven't figured out how they'll raise the money to pay for education.
"They tell us the per-pupil amount per student and we plug that into our budget," says Washoe County School District spokesman Steve Mulvenon. "We can't do anything until they vote on the distribution school account."
The Washoe County school district has already offered contracts to 500 new employees. However, because of the uncertainty they're finding out some of those teachers are saying "no thanks" and taking other jobs in different states.
"The legislature has to provide a budget for the distribution school account and they have to provide the money to fund it," says Perry Comeaux, Nv. state Budget Director. "If they don't pass a tax bill, they won't have enough money to fund the distribution school account."
Comeaux says that could have a ripple effect on the rest of state services.
If lawmakers don't pass a tax plan, the governor's office saya they may have to cut into other department budgets to pay for education.
"If some revenue isn't generated and a significant amount, some part of state government could be effected - no way around that," Comeaux says.
But, before the legislature adjourned from its regular session, it passed two bills to fund state government - even if Governor Guinn shuts it down.
State agencies, like the Department of Corrections, also have contigency plans in place if no additional revenue is generated.
But, state officials don't expect public safety to be compromised.
Washoe County district officials say, come July first, they're out of money. Administrators say without a budget and a way to fund it, they would close district operations and send all employees home because they would have no way to pay them.
We should also add we had interviews with other department heads from the state, but they cancelled after the governor's office said it was channeling all comments to budget director Perry Comeaux.

New iSCSI SAN/NAS box touts better performance
Agami's new low-end iSCSI SAN/NAS box is pricier than other scaled-down offerings, but has a few more high-end features.
As an increasing number of storage vendors focus downmarket, new products are emerging that find shades of gray between the lowest of low-priced boxes and midrange offerings. A new product from Agami Systems, announced this week, is aiming to slide into the pricing spot above products from Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) and Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp) but below the low-end network attached storage (NAS) package offered by Dell Inc. and Microsoft.
The new box, dubbed the AIS1006, has 6 terabytes (TB) of SATA disks. Like its competitors, it allows access to disks through either an iSCSI storage area network (SAN) or NAS interface, supports both CIFS and NFS access, and also includes replication and snapshot features.
Agami is also pushing the fact that its prepackaged replication has more features than you get for free with the Dell or HP boxes, offering replication for both iSCSI blocks, as well as NAS. Furthermore, it includes content awareness and transaction consistency, and can replicate to the larger models in Agami's product line, the AIS3000 and AIS6000. While both HP and Dell have replication offerings that match those features on their low-end boxes, they require additional licenses.
Finally, the Agami system uses a point-to-point connection between the processor and each disk drive, allowing for parallel access that boosts the system's throughput over serial-bus connections, like PCI Express, which is used in the HP and Dell systems. Agami is claiming single-stream throughput of around 100 megabytes per second (MBps), which is similar to its counterparts but claims aggregate throughput up to 300 MBps. (The box can trunk ports to allow a single host the entire aggregate throughput if necessary.)
According to Tony Asaro, analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), the product has been tested in ESG's labs and showed performance numbers close to Agami's claims. "The AIS system achieved 106 MBps of throughput over a single Gigabit Ethernet [GigE] interface," he wrote to SearchStorage.com in an email. "[Aggregate] performance scaled in a near-linear fashion to 226 MBps."
HP's AiO claims CIFS throughput of around 120 MBps but is cagier when it comes to its overall iSCSI performance. "You can't just multiply the single stream throughput to get the aggregate with iSCSI. You can do NIC teaming, MPIO, TOE cards and it also depends on the size of the frames and networking setup in the customer environment," said Brad Parks, worldwide product marketing manager for AiO storage.
Dell's box, meanwhile, can hit 420 MBps aggregate throughput, but ports can only be trunked on a pure NAS system. "For iSCSI solutions … we utilize the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator and MPIO technology, which recommends the use of MPIO for communicating data down multiple physical paths," wrote Scott Sinclair, marketing product manager for NAS at Dell, to SearchStorage.com in an email.
Finally, the Agami system is based on a Linux kernel, rather than the Windows OS, which could appeal to some administrators who feel Windows is a less reliable operating system. The AIS1006 also has battery-backed cache that allows it to avoid the Windows disk check after a crash.
According to Asaro, though Agami's product is primarily being marketed to small and midsized businesses (SMB), HP and Dell not only have better name recognition in that market than Agami, but "they can sell them other stuff besides storage."
SMB users also tend to be loyal to Windows, and HP and Dell's offerings are better integrated with some Microsoft applications, like Active Directory, thanks to those companies' preexisting relationships with Microsoft. HP is also offering more software features to coax SMB users toward networked storage, including a wizard designed specifically for migrating data from DAS to NAS that can be used with the AiO. Finally, low-end boxes, like the AiO, are not being sold into performance-sensitive environments.
Agami will probably also never beat the big players on price. Currently, it's selling the AIS1006 only through its Web site in order to avoid having to boost the price to preserve margins for both itself and channel partners. "In the SMB space, it's almost impossible to get more than a 30% margin," Asaro said. "HP and Dell can live comfortably there, but a pure storage player [like Agami] really can't."
The bottom line, Asaro said, is that the product is probably most likely to find a home as secondary storage at midsized companies or as remote office/branch office (ROBO) storage at large companies where the performance and replication features can come into play. The Linux-based system is more likely to have appeal over Windows. "It could be a good deal, price-performance wise, for secondary storage," he said. "They've got to get it out to the right customer base though."

ELKHART, Ind. — Each day at five, staff members of the Humane Society of Elkhart County close the animal shelter and hold a meeting. And each day, like clockwork, they begin hearing a "thump, thump, thump" from outside.
That is the sound of pets being abandoned by owners who either do not want them or cannot care for them anymore.
Among the recent arrivals left in "drop boxes" — kennels that are accessible through doors on the outside of the facility — are Sweet Pea, a Chihuahua being nursed back to health from near starvation, a cocker spaniel named Cookie and a "family" of three pets left together — a dog, a cat and rat.
These animals add to the usual traffic of strays, rabid raccoons and animals rescued from abuse. When the drop boxes are full, the Humane Society finds pets tied up at the door, or — as was the case with a domesticated ferret — running around in the parking lot. Recently a whole litter of kittens was left in the Humane Society dumpster.
A spokesman for the Humane Society of the United States said that the organization did not have comprehensive numbers on animals abandoned, but he said there is anecdotal reporting from members organizations of increases since the recession started. And press reports on overloaded shelters from Tampa to Albuquerque, and Houston to Bangor, Maine suggest it's a broader trend.
With as many as 600 or 700 animals arriving each month — sometimes 30 animals in a single day — the Elkhart facility, which has space for only 266, is in crisis mode.
'Unsavory position'
The numbers are "staggering" and resources are stretched, said Anne Reel, the Humane Society of Elkhart County's executive director.
"Since the economy has been like this, even rescuers have been down," she said, referring to nonprofits that provide temporary homes until animals can be adopted. "(Now) we're in the unsavory position of having to euthanize because we just can't turn animals around fast enough."
The Humane Society staff believes the poor economy is behind the high rate of abandonment — forcing people to give up pets when they run out of money to feed them or lose their homes and move into apartments or in with relatives. It's impossible to know for sure because many people drop off their pets anonymously in the drop boxes and don't fill out the forms that would help the Humane Society staff understand the animal's health background and breeding. Since October 2008, the shelter has handled 5,783 animals, 42 percent of which were abandoned anonymously.
"For the most part, people just cram the animal in the door, get in their car and speed away as fast as possible," said Reel. "Occasionally we have someone walk through the front door and say 'I've been laid off my job, we're moving into an apartment, we can't find anyone to take them,' and do it responsibly."
Looming cuts?
The number of cats dropped off is especially high, perhaps because people have been reluctant to spend money to spay or neuter their cats under current economic conditions.
The Humane Society is struggling to meet the increased demand. Its budget for free spaying and neutering of cats was shot by April. The pet assistance program, which provides free pet food to help owners who are struggling financially, had 444 requests this year, about two-thirds of them first-time requests. This program is important because it keeps pets with their owners, avoiding unnecessary abandonment.
About half of the Humane Society's $700,000 annual budget is provided by the county and cities, under a contract for animal control. But the organization is anticipating cuts in the next round of government budgets and, like many nonprofits, is casting about for new fundraising ideas, and trying to expand its donor base.
Meanwhile, Reel brought in a fatigue specialist to work with the staff of 16.
"We are overwhelmed in trying to decide who stays and who will have to be eliminated," she said, referring to animals that have to be euthanized. "It takes a toll on our staff. It is not a pleasant job. "
The staff also grapple with a year caring for and cleaning up after all these creatures — many which are in terrible condition by the time they are dropped off, with such severe maladies as ringworm, fleas and mange. That requires careful handling, and a lot of bleach to prevent the spread of disease.
When people ask Reel, "How can I help?" she tells them to "adopt, donate or send bleach."

Traditional taxonomists generally place the Palmchat in its own family because of pecularities that suggest it is not closely related to any of the major passerine groups; it nearest realtives are often considered to be the waxwings. Sibley & Monroe (1990) concurred, although they reduced it to a tribe [Dulinae] in the Bombycillidae. It is a moderately odd bird in the field, looking most like a coarse-plumaged tanager or Old World oriole, but differing in being rather vocal (but just gurggles and "cheeps") and in its gregarious behavior.
Palmchats eat fruit and berries, but at the botanical gardens in Santo Domingo this particular bird was pulling off and eating whole flowers!

LONDON (Reuters) - Up to 100,000 Britons suffering from cancer and rare diseases are to have their genetic codes fully sequenced and mapped as part of government efforts to boost drug development and improve treatment.
Britain will be the first country to introduce a database of genetic sequences into a mainstream health service, officials say, giving doctors a more advanced understanding of a patient's illness and what drugs and other treatments they need.
It could significantly reduce the number of premature deaths from cancer within a generation, Prime Minister David Cameron's office said in a statement.
"By unlocking the power of DNA data, the NHS (National Health Service) will lead the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better care," Cameron said on Monday.
His government has set aside 100 million pounds for the project in the taxpayer-funded NHS over the next three to five years.
Harpal Kumar, chief executive of the charity Cancer Research UK, said the work would uncover new information from which doctors and scientists will learn about the biology of cancers and develop new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat them.
He said some targeted, or personalised, cancer treatments such as Novartis' Gleevec, or imatinib - a drug for chronic myeloid leukaemia - are already helping to treat patients more effectively.
Some critics of the project, known as the "UK genome plan", have voiced concerns about how the data will be used and shared with third parties, including with commercial organisations such as drug companies.
Genewatch, a campaign group fighting for genetic science and technologies to be used in the public interest, has said anyone with access to the database could use the genetic codes to identify and track every individual on it and their relatives.
Cameron's office said the genome sequencing would be entirely voluntary and patients would be able to opt out without affecting their NHS care. It said the data would be made anonymous before it is stored.

Carl Frampton has confirmed he has split from Cyclone Promotions and Barry McGuigan
The relationship between former two-weight world champion Frampton and his promoter is believed to have broken down in recent months.
Frampton confirmed in a short statement via Twitter he had left Cyclone Promotion.
Frampton (30) was due to fight Andres Gutierrez at the SSE Arena in Belfast last month but the contest was cancelled after the Mexican suffered a freak pre-fight injury in his hotel room.
Frampton had earlier missed the weight for the fight and in the aftermath of the postponement, sources within the Frampton camp indicated that the boxer was not happy with Cyclone and that he was considering leaving.
In his statement Framtpon said: "I can confirm that I have parted company with Barry McGuigan and Cyclone Promotions,
"I would like to thank Barry, the McGuigan family and Cyclone Promotions for our time together.
"Having taken time to consider my future and discussed it with those closest to me, I am confident that now is the right time to move forward and take my career into my own hands.
"I still believe that I am the best featherweight in the world and I promise my fans that I am continuing with my efforts to get my homecoming fight rescheduled in the very near future," the statement concluded

Annual Old Timers Longboard Contest: 2000
Sunday August 27 2000, The Annual Old Timers Longboard Contest will be held at Whitecrest Beach in Wellfleet MA. Get those old logs ready to go!! For more info call (508) 255 2662 between 10am and 5pm or simply swing on in to
Jaspers Surf Shop
afer this weekend (the 19th and 20th) for signups and all that. (See Below for Description)
What exactly is "The Old Timers" all about you ask?
Okay, first, it isn't a 'real competition', it's a good time masquerading as a contest. Contests are jokes, that serve only to blow up some twerp's ego. This is more an old timer's reunion, party and a place for old board collectors to drool at each other. The oldtimer's is on Sunday, the 27th at White Crest Beach in Wellfleet, starting around 4:30 in the afternoon. Signups are at Jasper's Surf Shop in North Eastham only, and you can't sign up by mail or by phone. The entry is $20, in cash, no credit cards, per person. $25 if you want a long sleeve tee shirt. You get entered into the thing, a tee shirt, and you get to go to the party afterwards, at Jimmy D's in North Eastham. You can also buy just a teeshirt, or just pay at the door to get into the party. There are trophies, cheezy things really. Several age categories: 21-30, 30-40, 40-50, women's, lifeguards, female lifeguards, etc. The rules, as I understand them:
You have to be over 21 years old. Old, long boards only. No wetsuits or leashes
(yeah, that's right. It's irresponsible and dangerous. Well, that wasn't my idea: watch out for old longboards, they can hurt a lot.) If you have ever won before, you won't win again. It's somebody else's turn. Don't take it seriously: the judges are drunk anyways. The waves are never too small. They may be too big, in which case the thing is postponed. Other things Bring your own booze to the beach..it's sunday, so plan ahead. No glass bottles please. Clean up after yourself and others. That way, it can go on again next year. Get a bite to eat between the beach and the party. There are no bathrooms on the beach. It gets cold down there too. Okay? Have fun. - The Gospel According to
Costa Rica :
Heading to Costa Rica? Have a look at the
new section
posted here on cutback.com. You really need to get "The Surfers Guide to Costa Rica" by Mike Parise. But if you are too cheap, I have jotted down a few things that may/maynot be helpful to you.
Miscellaneous Things :
Cape Cod:
If you are heading down to the Cape and the islands to surf before then, be sure to stop by
The Wellfleet Beachcomber
. Plenty of sun, waves, booze and music for you to enjoy at this landmark establishment. If you do go, make sure to hook yourself up with one of their tasty Frozen Mud-Slides!!
If you are chasing a swell up the coast and cape cod is on the list and like to "rough" it. We suggest camping at either
Paines Campground
(both near surf). I would choose Paines though, just because they allow camp fires and they have wood you can purchase by the bundle.
If you are headed out to the Islands, you will want to check out the
Vineyard Schedule
from Woods Hole and Hyannis or the
Nantucket Schedule
from Hyannis. Call ahead if you plan on bringing your ride over. Also call for pricing on bringing your boards with you, I think they bill it out as a windsurfer. There is another ferry that leaves from
and goes to Oak Bluffs on the Vineyard but it does not carry cars. On this Ferry it will cost you $20 each way with your surfboard.
Oh and one more thang for ye, before you jump in your ride with all your boards strapped to the roof you may want to take a peek at the traffic cams located at the
Bourne Bridge
Sagamore Bridge
. When we hit the Cape on the weekends during the summer we recommend leaving super early or super late. The traffic down there can be a nightmare with the rotaries in place.

Recipe: Smoky Fried Chickpeas
Smoky Fried Chickpeas by Aliwaks
"If you were to put out a bowl of these crunchy, smoky, spicy little nuggets at a cocktail party, it's likely they'd be gone in under five minutes. Aliwaks has taken an already brilliant idea (fried chickpeas with smoked paprika) and run with it. You also fry strips of lemon zest, fresh thyme leaves and later thinly sliced garlic to mix with the chickpeas, paprika and salt. This leads to an array of crispy little bursts of flavor, each more fragrant than the last. Do be careful while frying (use a splatter screen if you have one), and make sure the chickpeas are as dry as you can get them. It's worth a little experimenting to find a brand of chickpeas that spit less while frying but still stay tender in the middle. - A&M"
"I was making a sort of Spanish/Moroccan Moorish sort of dinner for friends one night, and was looking for something small and spicy and crunchy to serve with drinks I thought I had almonds, but had run out but I did have a can of chickpeas..and inspiration struck."
Serves enough for 4
2 large cans chickpeas
1 cup Olive Oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest, strips
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 coarse salt to taste
4 pieces garlic, sliced
1. Drain Chickpeas and set on paper towels over a colander to dry thoroughly (can be done 1 day in advance).
2. Heat oil in large pan (preferably cast iron) to 355 or until oil makes bubbles around 1 chickpea.
3. Add lemon zest, thyme sprig, chickpeas in batches so pan doesn't crowd fry about 5 minutes until crunchy color & changes.
4. Remove from oil, drain well over colander/sieve, add garlic, fry till golden.
5. Toss with smoked paprika & salt, add more if necessary.
Serve warm.

Someday I will have to back up and do a history or outline for other family lines that I have learned so much about.
It is the stories that are most memorable, which are quickly passed down and remembered. Sadly though, they are the ones that are most traumatic. The Sharp line is one that certainly has not been immune to tragic tales.
Robert Ford Hunt, grandson of Victorine Mary Sharp and Robert Edward Maw; son of Ruby Ada Maw and Joseph Herbert Hunt is the first of our line. He was driving a farm truck when he failed to stop for a train near Marriott. He was 19 in 1931.
Paul Ross, the son of Ethel Sharp and John William Ross was taken to live with Victorine Sharp (Ethel's sister) and Fred Hunt. In 1932, near the age of 10, he fell out of the loft of a barn in Plain City. He passed away three days later from a concussion. For an interesting note, he was born in Paul, Idaho. To read more about this family, follow this link: Ross-Sharp Wedding.
Bert Fredrick Hunt, son of Fredrick Lawrence Hunt and Victorine Sharp, and Bert's son Robert, were both electrocuted in 1960 in a Plain City dairy barn. Grandpa (son of Victorine's sister, Ethel) told me that he was there that evening and helped them with their duties in the barn. When he grabbed the milk cooler it zapped him. It wasn't very bad but he turned off the breakers and told Bert and Bob about it. We don't know if they did not heed and turned it back on or what, but that same cooler would electrocute the two that evening. The milk man found them the next morning. Grandpa made the comment that it could very well have been him lying there. Grandma was apparently with him and both could have been part of the tragedy.
Edna Louise Sharp (she went by Louise) was the daughter of Edward and Lillie East Sharp. She married Ralph Anthony Blanch. They went to Othello, Washington for a missionary farewell in 1968. In their rush of the morning, they were hit head on in an automobile crash. Both of them died in that automobile accident.
Florence Sharp, daughter of Edward and Lillie East Sharp, married Leonard Neilson. They had a son named Douglas Ray Neilson. Grandpa said they were going north through Willard in 1940 and there was a line of traffic. It was raining that day and the rains of previous days caused some washing out of the mountains. At this point in the road at Willard only a few cars were allowed to follow the grader as it would clean the mud and water off the road which kept reappearing from the rains. It was in this environment that Grandpa and Doug were in the back of the truck while Ed was driving. They finally started moving forward and Grandpa went to the passenger side of the vehicle. Doug went over to tell Ed something. When he leaned down towards the cab, putting his hand on the cab, he slipped (the old rounded top cabs). He slipped down between the cab and bed of the truck falling right in front of the wheels. It was the people in the car behind that flagged Ed down neither he nor Grandpa realizing Doug had fallen out. He was pronounced dead at Brigham City.
Marjorie Lillian Sharp married Farrell Clontz. His family had an old mine claim in Montana near the Canadian border. He was contacted at some point and told something along the lines that they needed to do some work on the mine or the claim would fall through and not be valid or something to that effect. So, that summer in 1955 he took his brother in law Milo Riley Sharp (differentiated from his grandfather by the same name) and they went to work the mine some. They took Farrell and Marjorie's daughter, Nelda to help with the domestic side of life. Farrell was teaching Milo how to do the packing and loading of dynamite. We obviously don't know what exactly happened. They did not come down for dinner so Nelda went up to find them. Calling out for them, nobody answered. Entering the mine, she found the lower portions of their bodies with nothing remaining of the rest.
Sherry Sharp, daughter of Edward Junior Sharp and Delores Salter, in a complete moment of irony, fell out of the car in the hospital parking lot. In the moment of rushing her mother to the hospital to give birth she fell from the car and was run over. She was flown to Seattle where she passed away days later from the trauma on Halloween, 1956.
Edward and Delores had another daughter whose plane went down on a berry picking trip in Valdez-Cordova, Alaska. She left behind a husband and daughter.
Anyhow, there are some other stories, but I have less information with them so they would be more speculative.
But for the sake of keeping track,
Milo Ray Sharp's family would move to Sunset, Davis County to farm.
Delwin Sharp would remain in the Plain City area all his life.
Austin Sharp would move to Washington State.
Ernest Sharp would remain in Plain City.
William Edward Sharp moved to Washington State.
Victorine Sharp and her husband Fred Hunt would remain in Plain City.
Mary Irene Sharp would marry Oscar Childs Richardson and move to Tremonton.
Edith Sharp would marry Clements Richard Martin and move to Southern
Ethel Sharp would move to Idaho returning to Plain City. There she would
have her last child which birth would take her life.

Francis Ouimet, the Ouimet Scholarship Fund, and Scholar Ryan Durkin were featured in the Boston Globe on May 2nd in an article by Nancy Marrapese-Burell. Please see the article below.
Francis Ouimet's name has long been synonymous with golf in Massachusetts. He is considered the first American golf hero as a result of his stunning victory in the 1913 US Open at The Country Club in Brookline.
To increase awareness of Ouimet's contributions to the sport, a Centennial Gala will be held May 15 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center, kicking off a series of events as part of "Ouimet 100." The gala will feature Arnold Palmer, Peter Jacobsen, author Mark Frost, and movie director Bill Paxton, as well as master of ceremonies Rich Lerner of the Golf Channel.
Much has been written about Ouimet, and the movie based on Frost's book, "The Greatest Game Ever Played," chronicled Ouimet's great upset over Britain's Harry Vardon and Ted Ray.
Ouimet was a 20-year-old amateur who had grown up across the street from The Country Club's 17th hole. His caddie, Eddie Lowery, was just 10 years old.
His accomplishment, which was reported across the globe, is widely referred to as the birth of golf in the US and led to an explosion of popularity for the sport. In the 10 years that followed, the number of golfers in America jumped from 350,000 to 2.1 million. The number of courses tripled in that span. In 1910, there were an estimated 700 courses in the nation, but by 1929, there were some 5,600.
Ouimet also was very active in charitable endeavors.
As a member of the Army in World War I, Ouimet raised funds for the Red Cross by participating in exhibition golf matches. He continued to raise money for relief efforts during World War II. But he is best known for the Francis Ouimet Scholarship Fund, which was founded in 1949. He said the fund was his greatest achievement in golf.
The fund, which has helped more than 5,000 students who have given service to golf, has awarded need-based four-year college scholarships totaling more than $25 million.
Many of the Ouimet scholars have gone on to have highly successful careers.
One of the more recent Ouimet scholars is Ryan Durkin of Andover, who graduated from UMass-Amherst in 2008 and became an entrepreneur who founded CampusLive (which has since been rebranded to Dailybreak), a digital launch pad for contests and promotions.
Durkin was the student speaker at the annual Ouimet Fund banquet in 2008, and his emotional presentation of what golf has meant to him moved Gary Player to tears.
"I grew up in the game of golf," said Durkin. "To be honest, it's kind of been my rock over the past 15 years. I started out as a caddie when I was maybe 11 and I was pretty much the smallest guy on the post.
"I was offered a job in the bag room at Indian Ridge Country Club. I got to be buddies with practically everyone there. To this day, they are still like my extended family."
Durkin lost his father when he was just 5, so having those golfers in his life made an indelible impression.
"It goes beyond golf, but I really think that's really the key message," said Durkin. "Most of these people who I grew up caddying for or working in the game with ended up being like a second father to me.
"My dad died when I was little and most of these guys ended up basically assuming the role of my own dad. To this day, I'm still buddies with all of them. It's unique."
Durkin said the Ouimet scholarship program is special.
"I know most of the money goes to caddies but a lot of other money goes to people who have just worked within the game whether it's in the bag room or in the pro shop," said Durkin. "[At the banquet], you can just sense how tight-knit the community is. I think a lot of that just extends from golf itself, but they do a ton of different events throughout the year, and the outreach to all the clubs is phenomenal."
Durkin said the Ouimet events are very much a unifying factor throughout the golfing community, particularly the bag tag program, which raises money through donations from area golf clubs.
He credits Indian Ridge and the Demoulas family, for whom his parents worked, with keeping him grounded and inspired.
"Without it, man, I don't know where I'd be, to be honest," said Durkin.
There are few better places to network than on the golf course, and the Ouimet program has brought a lot of people together from all walks of life.
"It certainly is a golf unifier, first and foremost," said Durkin. "I've always thought about it more in the sense of the way it connects the rising young leaders of Boston. You get a lot of these young people who play or work in the game — and I'd always consider myself a better worker than a player, for sure — but it's really been about finding people I can look up to and aspire to be.
"Being able to show young people who they can become down the road and getting to access that — golf is a pretty conversational sport. The craziest thing on the golf course I started to realize was how all these people were interconnected. That was one of the first communities where I felt like a part of it."
The Ouimet Memorial Tournament is a fixture on the golf landscape. It began in 1968, a year after Ouimet's death.
Matt Parziale, a member of Thorny Lea Golf Club in Brockton, captured the 2009 Ouimet championship by a stroke. Parziale said it's a privilege to play in the storied event.
"They always have three really good courses that are in good shape, and all the history behind it, too," said Parziale. "It's one of the ones that all the guys around here want to win. I was lucky enough one year to be able to do that.
"As I played the game more [growing up], I learned a lot more and you come to realize how much history is behind that tournament. I definitely appreciated it by the time I was able to win."

Hey guys, it's really early where I live which is good because now I'll be giving you a guide on "sketching hands", step by step. I worked on this lesson for about five hours due to frequent breaks that robbed my time. The hands I present to you in this tutorial are hands I can only create on paper; I have no idea why I can't really recreate hands on tablet, I think it has to do with having a better mind function and the ease on the eyes as you draw a composistion of drawings. The hands were quickly sketched, using refrences of my own ocassionly. The style of the hands you see are in a box-like format which is probably an easier way to draw them instead of trying to make them pointed. Learning "how to sketch hands", can be very useful as you increasingly learn your craft on paper. Working traditionally is usually best because of the advanced outlook you percieve. It's best to sketch ideas down quickly, as shots can fleet before you can envision it on paper. I would recommend to use a regular pencil, if you have a sketch pencil set, use a 2H pencil for the rough lines. It's suggested to avoid pressing hard on your paper as it can leave invisible marks. Anyways, I'm pretty sure that this tutorial will give you a few tips and hints to "sketch hands" easier. Let's move onto the lesson now!

Rangers/Rays, Game 2: Texas's Michael Young goes around on a pitch for strike three with one out in the fifth, but 1B umpire Jerry Meals says Young checked his swing. Young hits the next pitch for a three-run dong, boosting the Rangers' lead to 5-0. They win 6-0.Afterwards, Young says he would not have argued if Meals had rung him up, which sounds like an admission that he had whiffed.
Yankees/Twins, Game 1: New York RF Greg Golson catches Delmon Young's sinking line drive for what should have been the final out of a 6-4 win for the Yankees. RF umpire Chris Guccione has the play directly in front of him and he rules Golson trapped the ball. And so Jim Thome bats as the potential tying run in a game that should have been over. Thome pops up, saving the umpires further embarrassment.
Yankees/Twins, Game 2: Carl Pavano struck out Lance Berkman in the seventh inning, but plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt called it a ball (pitch 4 below).Berkman hit a double to deep left-center on the next pitch to break a tie and give New York a 3-2 lead. Berkman later scored -- and the Yankees won 5-2.
Wendlestedt also ejected Twins manager Ron Gardenhire shortly after the Berkman at-bat. I am going to assume this Gardy rant from 2009 was in the back of Wendlestedt's mind yesterday.
Atlanta/Giants, Game 1: San Francisco's Buster Posey is thrown out trying to steal second base, but umpire Paul Emmel -- positioned so he can't see either the tag or Posey's foot at the bag (off to the right-hand side of this picture) -- called him safe. Posey scored the only run of the game as the Giants won 1-0.A less than obvious blown call happened in game 1 of the Rangers/Rays series. After Tampa Bay loaded the bases in the first inning, Carlos Pena appeared to have been hit by a pitch. Plate umpire Tim Welke said the ball hit Pena's bat and called a foul ball. Pena eventually struck out, as did Rocco Baldelli, and the Rays did not score. They lost the game 6-1. (Some replays indicated the pitch may have not hit anything.)
I have no idea what has to happen to make MLB adopt the technology that it already uses to make sure that calls are made correctly and umpires are held accountable. Yahoo!'s Jeff Passan wrote about the wonders of pitchf/x, which provides data on every pitch thrown in the major leagues:
Pitchf/x is the enemy of umpires because it holds them accountable and highlights their mistakes. And Thursday night, Hunter Wendelstedt made an unconscionable number of errors for a playoff umpire. ...Red are called strikes, green are balls. Luuuuuv that Jeter pitch!
The Berkman pitch was one of 31 wrong calls by Wendelstedt. Thirteen other times he called a ball on a pitch inside the strike zone, one of them on a cutter to Derek Jeter that literally was in the center of the strike zone, at the belt, halving the plate. And 17 times -– most of them actually benefitting Pavano -– Wendelstedt called a strike on a pitch outside the zone.

Tape encryption strategies
Companies need to take a more strategic approach to tape encryption by building a services-based architecture that can meet today's needs and scale to accommodate future needs.
- Jon Oltsik, Enterprise Strategy Group
The time has come for enterprise tape encryption
Point solutions for encryption might work now, but can they scale to meet future needs?
Backup vendors supported encryption in their products for years, but few customers ever bothered with this type of protection in the past. Why? IT managers always assumed that tape-based data was relatively safe: Tapes were used by IT professionals and tape devices sat behind vulnerable IP networks. Encryption was also eschewed because it could lead to slower performance, additional IT operational chores and higher capital costs.
But times have changed. Interest in tape encryption is growing rapidly due to the following:
Increasing privacy regulations. Tape-based private data has long been subjected to well-established global privacy laws like the Japanese Bill to Protect Personal Data (2001) and the EU Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications (2002). In 2005, 13 disparate bills were introduced in the U.S. Congress; and at the beginning of 2006, 23 states had privacy regulations in place.
Publicly disclosed data breaches. Regulations like the California Database Breach Act mandate that any data breach involving the private data of a California citizen must be publicly disclosed. Between February 2005 and August 2006 there were a total of 17 publicly disclosed data breaches as a result of lost/stolen backup tapes, which led to the exposure of more than 9 million Americans' private data (source: www.privacyrights.org).
New technology options. Cryptoprocessor technology has greatly improved and now offers high performance and lower prices. This has led to a slew of new hardware-based crypto-acceleration and encryption appliances.
Tape encryption must support the business
Numerous companies are jumping on the backup tape-encryption bandwagon: Encrypt your backup tapes and the threat of lost/stolen tapes, embarrassing data breaches and unexpected costs disappear. But while this is certainly logical, it's also shortsighted. Tape encryption must provide protection against accidental tape loss or criminal activities, but it should also be integrated into the security procedures of tape-based business processes such as:
Data sharing. Tape is still used as a means of data exchange among business partners, but this process shares the same risk of tape loss/theft as offsite solutions. To facilitate data exchange, tape-encryption solutions must share encryption keys among business partners.
Data archiving. Government regulations like HIPAA and SEC 17a-4 demand long-term records retention. Because tape media is often used for data archiving, tape encryption can keep the data confidential and tamperproof. In an archiving application, tape encryption must be supported with key lifecycle management features built for long-term encrypted data storage.
These functions will certainly add to the business value of a tape-encryption solution, but it's also important that they don't create an inordinate amount of IT operations overhead in the process. To accommodate the business and IT, tape-encryption solutions must:
Work with existing technologies. Tape encryption should be an integrated set of services that can be called by backup software, storage management systems, device drivers, libraries and tape drives. Tape encryption shouldn't add any undue burden or performance degradation to day-to-day backup, restore and archival operations.
Integrate into disaster recovery (DR) planning. Because encrypted data must be decrypted to be useful, tape-encryption operations must be part of the DR/business continuity process. This requires tight controls for key management, key backup and redundant key-restoration equipment. These steps must not impact business-critical recovery time objectives and recovery point objectives.
Allow flexibility for growth. When a file is archived for 10 years, for example, the tape drive, server and application technologies will certainly change during that timeframe. Tape encryption must accommodate inevitable technology churn while maintaining the integrity of encryption keys and administrative policies over the long haul.
When weighed against this set of enterprise requirements, most of today's tape-encryption solutions fall short.
Large firms need an ETE architecture
Tape-encryption products that provide little more than "antidisclosure" insurance may be in vogue today, but the encryption needs of large organizations will soon move beyond this limited scope. Rather than implement multiple tape-encryption solutions, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) believes savvy CIOs will look at a new class of security products we call Enterprise Tape Encryption (ETE). Unlike most self-contained point solutions, ETE is built as a set of encryption services. As such, ETE:
Separates encryption and administrative functions. ETE services like cryptographic processing, key management and administration are discrete objects. By distributing these services, the actual cryptographic processing can be performed on high-speed security processors, while key management and administration can be centralized for operational efficiency and high security. This model will be especially important over time because it offers scale and performance benefits as more data is encrypted. For scalability, today's all-in-one, server-based solution can migrate gracefully to a distributed model over time.
Provides for ease of integration. ETE services are easily accessible to systems that need to encrypt data and the devices that perform the actual encryption operations. ETE acts as encryption middleware with open APIs used for requesting or performing encryption services.
Virtualizes key management. To maintain the availability of critical key-management services, many of today's encryption appliance products must be configured in pairs for failover. Rather than clustering boxes, ETE uses a distributed database built on multiple distributed systems similar to the global Domain Name System (DNS) infrastructure. This architecture increases performance by localizing ETE service requests, thus minimizing latency. It also eliminates any single point of failure; if a local ETE system is offline, the ETE service simply calls another.
Accommodates key sharing. ETE recognizes the need for key sharing among enterprise data centers and business partners. ETE offers multiple technical solutions, including Public Key Infrastructure, Kerberos, shared secret keys and secure decryption utilities.
Leverages tape compression. Tape compression can provide a 300% improvement in throughput, reduce media costs and decrease the number of physical tapes. To take advantage of the operational benefits of compression and the security advantages of encryption, tapes must be compressed before being encrypted. To achieve operational and security goals, ETE can distribute encryption services where cryptographic processing can reside behind tape compression.
Like other distributed services architectures, ETE changes the way tape encryption is performed. ETE services are available for disparate systems, apps and devices as needed. Users can achieve operations and security benefits from centralized encryption management, while realizing performance advantages from distributed cryptographic processing.
The ETE architecture will consist of three independent service layers that communicate and cooperate to manage and execute encryption operations. They include:
Encryption service requesters. Various systems and apps that need to encrypt data can call the encryption services layer and relay which data needs to be scrambled.
Encryption services layer. The ETE services layer is the workhorse of the architecture and masks the complexity of enterprise tape encryption from applications and devices.
Cryptographic processing layer. Actual encryption operations can live anywhere in the infrastructure. When a cryptographic processor receives a request to encrypt data, it calls the key management server and asks it to generate an encryption key. Once it receives the encryption key, it performs the requested cryptographic operations.
Given the services-based architecture of ETE and the distributed nature of systems and devices in a typical enterprise, the goal of ETE is to provide flexibility for any-to-any tape-encryption requirements. For example, a backup system could ask for encryption services from any available drive in a tape farm comprising multiple libraries. Likewise, an archiving system could encrypt large files to a set of remote tape drives in a secure location. And as new servers, backup apps and tape drives are added across the enterprise, they can join the ETE process because it's controlled by the ETE services layer rather than hardwired into specific systems.
The bottom line
Smart companies understand that tape encryption is necessary today and will only become more critical in the future. But companies need to take a more strategic approach by building a services-based architecture that can meet current needs and scale to accommodate future needs.

New Doctor Who Peter Capaldi received a huge vote of confidence from U.S. fans of the sci-fi show on Thursday (14Aug14) when he attended a premiere event for the new season.
I often talk to them and text them and ask for advice
The Scottish actor, who has taken over Time Lord duties from Matt Smith, joined co-star Jenna Coleman and writer Steven Moffat at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York, and thousands of eager fans were there to greet him.
Capaldi's official debut as the new Doctor, which will hit TV screens later this month (Aug14), became a hot ticket item when all 900 seats for the premiere screening sold out in less than one minute.
The actor, who posed for photos with fans on the Tardis-blue carpet, revealed how he prepared to play an iconic TV character, explaining, "Once I became the Doctor, I invited Matt to lunch to discuss the role and he arrived on crutches. I said, 'What happened to you?' and he said, 'The show, mate'".
He added, "Matt Smith and (former Doctor Who) David Tennant have both been very kind and helpful to me. I often talk to them and text them and ask for advice. It's a very small club, we talk about stuff that only doctors can talk about".
Capaldi made a brief appearance on the BBC's highest-rated series in November (14) as part of the show's 50th anniversary episode.
Capaldi and Coleman kicked off the first ever global Doctor Who tour earlier this month (Aug14) and they will also make stops in London, Seoul, Sydney, Mexico City and Rio de Janeiro to promote the show.

Lanza bodies reportedly unclaimed
Among the flood of reports on the Newtown school slayings has been one saying that the bodies of shooter Adam Lanza and his mother Nancy remain unclaimed, raising new questions about the Lanzas' extended family and state procedure.
But arrangements for burial are in the works, at least for the mother, Chief State Medical Examiner H. Wayne Carver confirmed Tuesday.
"There is a funeral home, out of state and whose name is as yet unknown to me, who wants to claim the body discreetly," Carver said. That state is apparently New Hampshire, where the former Nancy Jean Champion was raised in Kingston, just north of the Massachusetts line.
"The police in New Hampshire are already trying to control an ever-expanding cohort from the fourth estate," Carver wrote in an email.
It was not known if Adam's body was still unclaimed Tuesday night. Carver said the press in the Granite State is "in full boil" about the case, too.
Asked the process of such retrieval, Carver would say only, "Have you ever noticed that our transport vehicles are unlabeled? I do this on purpose. The families of the dead don't need to see the truck that hauled off their relative over and over again on the tube."
Carver said unclaimed bodies are a big problem for his department, in general, which is run out of a 30,000-square-foot mortuary, laboratory and administrative facility in Farmington.
"The drill is to get a letter from the police department of record that no next of kin can be found or those who have been identified refuse to lay claim to the body," Carver said. "We then contact a funeral home on a rotating list of volunteers who petition the probate court for custody of the body. They bury or cremate it with the $1,800 supplied by (the state)."
The Newtown case brings up several issues: What happens when no one claims a body? What happens when a body gets to a funeral home but no one steps up to pay?
Funeral directors statewide are pretty familiar with the latter, said John Cascio, executive director of the Connecticut State Funeral Directors Association.
"Funeral directors are ... there to serve the families," he said. "And so ... individual funeral homes across the state have to do funerals of that kind for free."
Cascio says it's a matter of concern for the dignity of the deceased.
"They (funeral directors) are trained to be compassionate; they're trained to be caregivers. They're trained to be understanding," Cascio said. "They have to do their best to give everyone a dignified funeral."
Cascio said there is a protocol for unclaimed ashes -- or "cremains" -- or a body. The medical examiner's office will hold onto them, he said. But funeral directors sometimes get involved to resolve a stalemate.
In two recent cases, "through the efforts of the ME's office and Connecticut funeral directors, we purchased the graves and the monuments."
Cascio said funeral directors are in "constant contact with the ME's office; we work very well with them."
Sometimes there's a conflict among relatives about choice of funeral home or burial site.
Carver, the longtime medical examiner who did seven autopsies himself in the Newtown case, said,
"There is no clear-cut hierarchy as to next of kin. If two sides fight over a body, I fold my arms over my chest and tell them to get me a probate court order. Usually within a half-hour I get a faxed letter signed by both warring parties as to which funeral home to use."
The funeral director by state law has to send out a certified letter to whomever they determine is next of kin, said Cascio, and wait for a reply. It's not a case of indigence here, however.
According to published reports, Nancy Lanza and then-husband Peter were both successful when they moved to Newtown in 1998. Their amicable divorce brought Nancy $240,000 a year and more in alimony and child support, so she didn't have to work again, except to care for Adam, who didn't learn to drive until recently.
She became a gun enthusiast and Friday was killed by four .22-caliber bullets to the head from a gun that was not among those taken to the school Friday, Carver told ctnow.com.
Cascio speculated the estate would be paying for the Lanza burials.
"In this case, the next of kin for the mother would be the older son (Ryan)," he said. "The next of kin for the boy is the father."
Cascio said the state's funeral directors, including Howard Hill of New Haven and the Eriksons at Beecher and Bennett in Hamden, are volunteering work on the funerals for the Newtown victims.
"They've done it all, from helping field the calls at the funeral home, moral support ... driving to the crematory, driving the families to the cemetery, opening the doors, anything," he said.

South Carolina Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer, who is running for the Republican nomination for governor, held a town hall meeting yesterday where he argued government should be tougher on families whose children receive free and reduced-price lunches. Bauer said that parents should be required to "pass drug tests or attend parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings." To make this argument, however, he compared people receiving government assistance to stray animals:
"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals. You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better," Bauer said. [...]
Later in his speech, Bauer said, "I can show you a bar graph where free and reduced lunch has the worst test scores in the state of South Carolina," adding, "You show me the school that has the highest free and reduced lunch, and I'll show you the worst test scores, folks. It's there, period."
Bauer later insisted that he "wasn't saying people on government assistance 'were animals or anything else.'" (HT: Jamie Sanderson)

So my players are still having a blast, doing a retcon this weekend and making everyone re-roll 'cause we're adding a new person to the group, which is fine 'cause they're running out of clones.
They're used to D&D and being a little attached to their characters, and want to improve them. I'm wondering how to handle the number of deaths appropriately, as they may want to bump stats or their security clearance. Are most printed missions built or planned to be around red clearance? Should I make it easy for them to buy clones, or give them a six pack at the start of each mission, or maybe not kill them so much? Or just make them re-roll when they die, but keep their clearance?
Our first session, we only had a single death in HOY sector, so I'm tossing out treason stars like candy now and certainly expect that person to run out next session.
Should I just feel it out and see how disappointed they are when they die and have to restart? I don't want them to end up disappointed, but I also don't want them to feel like there's no consequences for dying. I think pushing them to buy new clones is appropriate, but then I think it'll be that much harder to advance in clearance if/when there's missions for clearances above red.
So, yeah, any advice on balancing the clone economy?

What is Stamped Concrete?
Stamped Concrete is a system of adding color, pattern and texture to a plain concrete slab at the time of pouring. You will enhance the beauty of your home or business by adding stamped concrete to accent your driveway, patio, courtyard or pool area. The finished job has an attractive three-dimensional two-toned look of stone, slate or brick. The finished job is then sealed which helps protect the product from dirt and stains, improves the strength or the surface, and gives the job an attractive 'wet-look'.
Stamped Concrete Installation vs Traditional Pavers in the Winter & Spring
Traditional pavers or flagstone patios physically move when the ground freezes and thaws. This movement contributes to uneven settlement which can become a hazard for tripping because of the uneven surfaces of the individual pavers.
comparison, Stamped Concrete because it is one continuous
surface designed with an internal rebar-sreel structure
and proper control/expansion joints is not as susceptible
to seasonal movement. It can crack but the control/expansion
joints help control cracking and keep it in the
joints where it belongs.
The Spring, Summer, Fall and Weeds
comparison of stamped concrete and traditional hand-laid
landscaping materials is illustrated by the constant
degradation of joints/spaces in traditional individual
pavers. There is always a constant tendency for
pavers to settle
and have ant hills and weeds grow between the joints. Weeding and maintaining can be a tedious and ongoing summer job!
Ruggero Construction - Stamped Concrete also provides excellent workmanship in all types of exposed aggregate concrete work in Macomb County, Michigan and the surrounding Detroit Metropolitan area.
If you have additional
questions about decorative stamped concrete and
a project, please give us a call.
We would be happy to answer your questions.

Harrison Reed (1813-1899), a native of Littleton, Massachusetts, served as Florida governor from 1868 until 1873. Reed lived in Wisconsin until 1861, when he came to Washington, D.C. to work in the Treasury Department. He was appointed Direct Tax Commissioner for Florida and moved to Union-occupied Fernandina in 1863. At the close of the war he became a Federal postal agent for Florida. In 1868 he won election to governor, but during his term he faced virulent opposition from Democrats and even from factions within the Republican Party. The latter groups made two attempts to remove him from office.
Document 1 relates to the first effort to oust Reed, which occurred in 1868. In the fall of that year, an anti-Reed faction in the state legislature attempted to remove the governor, but the legislature adjourned on November 7 before the Senate could conduct an impeachment trial. Lieutenant Governor William H. Gleason proclaimed himself governor and, though was barred from the capitol by Reed supporters, he established an office and issued documents signed as the state's chief executive. On November 24, the Supreme Court of Florida ruled that Reed had never been officially impeached because a quorum did not exist when the Senate originally charged him. Reed then successfully moved to oust Gleason as lieutenant governor on the grounds that he failed to meet the state's residency requirements. Gleason would subsequently be removed from office the following month.
Documents 2 and 3 relate to a second effort to remove Governor Harrison Reed in 1872. Reed was impeached by the Florida House of Representatives in February 1872. Considering himself suspended until a trial was concluded, Reed left Tallahassee for his home near Jacksonville. In Reed's absence, Lieutenant Governor Samuel T. Day proclaimed himself acting governor. After the legislature adjourned without bringing Reed to trial, the governor assumed that this was the equivalent of an acquittal. In April 1872, when Day had briefly left Tallahassee, Reed returned and declared himself the chief executive. Once more Reed asked for a decision from the Florida Supreme Court on who was governor. The justices upheld Reed's claim to the office and stated that Day was "in no sense Governor." An attempt by day to hold a special session of the legislature to vote on the impeachment charges ended on May 4, 1872 with a dismissal of the charges against Reed. The controversial governor would complete his term, which ended in early 1873.
Readmission of Florida into the Union, 1868
As a result of the Military Reconstruction Act, passed on March 2, 1867, congressional Republicans effectively took control of Reconstruction away from President Andrew Johnson. The Act's provisions divided the ex-Confederate States (except Tennessee) into five military districts, required black suffrage and ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, and called for conventions to establish new constitutions in each of the affected states. Delegates to the Florida Constitutional Convention were elected in November 1867. The bitterly divided convention met in Tallahassee the following January, and after much controversy, a new constitution, with black suffrage, was adopted and approved by the voters in May 1868. Republican Harrison Reed was elected governor, and on July 2 he wrote a letter (Document 4) to the military commander of Florida, Colonel John T. Sprague, informing him that Florida had completed the requirements to be readmitted to the Union.
