REMEMBER GREECE? The big worry a year ago was that Greece would collapse under its debts and roil Europe's financial markets. But the world's most dangerous bond market turned out to be one of the world's best bets last year. Many of Europe's markets surged.
NOW WHAT? The worst is over, investors say. That's where any agreement ends. Some on Wall Street think European stocks will outpace those in the U.S.
PLENTY OF PROBLEMS: The 17 countries that share the euro currency are in a second recession in three years; the unemployment rate reached a new high of 11.8 percent.

Oct. 3, 2011 -- More than 1 in 10 parents of young children don't follow the recommended vaccination schedule, new research shows.
They decline some vaccines, delay others, or in other ways tweak the recommendations, the survey found.
The 1 in 10 finding is concerning, says researcher Amanda Dempsey, MD, PhD, MPH, assistant professor of pediatrics and communicable diseases at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. "That's enough to cause increases in vaccine-preventable disease outbreaks," she says.
Vaccination Schedules & Parents: Survey Findings
Dempsey and her colleagues conducted a survey over the Internet of a nationally representative sample of parents of children ages 6 months to 6 years old. They asked them which vaccination schedule they used and whether their child got all recommended vaccines.
The parents answered other questions, including whether they had a regular health care provider for their child.
Dempsey's team evaluated 748 responses. The parents ranged from 18 to 59 years old, but most were ages 30 to 44.
Some of the 13% who followed an alternative schedule looked to well-known ones, such as those promoted by Dr. William Sears or Dr. Donald Miller. But much more commonly, parents on the alternative schedule tweaked it themselves or took a friend's advice on how to do so. Some said they worked with the child's doctor to develop the alternative schedule.
The patterns among those not following the recommended schedule varied. Among them:
- 17% said their child did not get any vaccines.
- 53% said they didn't get some vaccines.
- 55% said they delay some vaccines until older than the recommended age.
- 36% said they wait longer between multiple-dose vaccines than is recommended.
- 22% said they got each part of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine separately.
The vaccines most likely to be refused:
- H1N1 influenza, refused by 86% of those on the alternative schedule
- Seasonal influenza, 76%
- Chickenpox (varicella), 46%
The vaccines least likely to be refused were polio and diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis, each refused by 6% of parents.
"Our study is in the ballpark of what was shown before," Dempsey says. "A lot of parents are on the fence about vaccines and this is going to continue to be a problem."
Also troubling, she says, are some other findings. "We found almost a third of parents who are on an alternate vaccine schedule started out on a recommended schedule." And more than a fourth of those still following the recommended schedule said they thought delaying vaccines was safer.
Those most likely not to follow the schedule didn't have a regular health care provider. However, Dempsey isn't sure which situation came first. She doesn't know if those who tweak the schedule have a difficult time finding a doctor or that these parents who don't get regular health care are the ones who tend not follow the schedule.
Dempsey reports compensation for serving on an advisory board for Merck related to the male human papillomavirus vaccination. The company did not participate in this study.
Alternative Vaccination Survey: Perspective
Another expert sees reason for concern about the 13%. "People who refuse vaccines tend to be clustered geographically," says Saad Omer, PhD, MPH, MBBS, assistant professor of global health, epidemiology and pediatrics at the Emory University Schools of Public Health and Medicine and the Emory Vaccine Center.
That, in turn, can create what he calls a ''critical mass" of people to trigger a disease outbreak.
"There is a reason why there is a schedule," says Omer. "The risk of preventable disease is not constant. One of the reasons we give vaccines at a certain age is the children are vulnerable at a certain age."
Another problem, he says, is that as parents spread out the vaccinations, the risk of not completing the recommended ones increases.
The CDC maintains a schedule of recommended vaccines on its web site, www.cdc.gov/vaccines/recs/schedules/child-schedule.htm
Parents who decline vaccines often depend on so-called ''herd immunity," says Karlen Luthy, assistant professor of nursing at Brigham Young University, Provo. She has researched vaccination practices.
Under herd immunity, when a large part of the population has been vaccinated, it is thought to provide some protection for those who have not been vaccinated nor had the disease.
However, Luthy says herd immunity ideally is meant to protect children who can't get vaccinated -- due to being organ transplant recipients, for instance. When parents of children who could be vaccinated decide not to, she says, "we are putting the lives of some of these other children at risk."
Another Perspective
Barbara Loe Fisher, co-founder and president of the National Vaccine Information Center, says the finding of more than 1 in 10 parents changing the schedule is not a surprise to her. Her organization, she says, encourages informed decision making about vaccines.
As the number of childhood vaccines rises, she says, today's parents are becoming more informed and educated. They are doing research on vaccines before deciding whether their child should get them.
Fisher says she is troubled by the conclusions of the researchers that strategies are needed to reduce concerns of parents. Instead, she says, pediatricians ''need to listen to the mothers, most of the time it's mothers, when they describe vaccine reactions."
Some people are more prone to these than others, says says. "Much more needs to be known about vaccine high-risk events."

The direct path from a history of sexual abuse to the sexual victimization of children is consistent with the finding that a disproportionate number of sexually abusive adolescents also report being victimized sexually. The researchers suggest that a subset of these sexually victimized offenders may select victim(s) specific to a particular age group that is consistent with the age at which they were victimized, indirectly supporting the victim-to-victimizer theory of adolescent sexual offending. The authors assert that this study provides data for the preliminary design of a dimensional model of adolescent sexual abusive behavior against younger children. See " Typologies " in this chapter.
Zakireh, Ronis, and Knight (2008) examined the individual beliefs and attitudes, and victimization histories, of 100 male youth ages 13–19. The youth were divided equally into four demographically similar groups: (1) sexual offenders in residential placement, (2) sexual offenders in outpatient treatment, (3) nonsexual offenders in residential placement, and (4) nonsexual offenders in outpatient treatment.The sexually offending youth included those who had exclusively offended against peer age and adult victims, those who had exclusively offended against children younger than age 12, and those who offended against mixed-age victims. The authors found that three categories of risk factors—greater hypersexuality or sexual deviance, more violent behavior or fantasies, and an increased history of victimization—are consistent with path models that predict sexually abusive behavior toward peers and adults. The authors asserted that their findings were consistent with hypotheses about the significant role that the domains of callousness, unemotionality, and antisocial behavior play in sexual abusive behavior against peers and the limited etiological role they play in sexually abusive behavior toward children. The study's findings are consistent with past evidence regarding the role that sexual victimization plays in subsequent sexual offending behavior. See " Typologies " in this chapter.
Burton, Leibowitz, and Howard (2010) compared pornography exposure between male adolescents who sexually abuse and male nonsexual offending delinquent youth. Although previous literature indicates that pornography use for adult males at risk for aggression may result in sexually aggressive behavior, very little research has been reported on exposure to pornography on the part of juveniles who commit sexual abuse. The juveniles who had engaged in sexually abusive behavior reported more exposure to pornography when they were both younger and older than age 10 than nonsexual abusers. However, their exposure was not correlated to the age at which their sexually abusive behavior started, to the reported number of victims, or to sexual offense severity. The exposure subscale before age 10 was not related to the number of children the group sexually abused, and the forceful exposure subscale was not correlated with either arousal to rape or degree of force used by the youth. Finally, exposure was significantly correlated with all of the nonsexual crime scores in the study. The researchers characterized this study as exploratory in nature and stated that no clear conclusions can be drawn regarding prohibitions or control of pornography for adolescents who sexually abuse and who are in treatment or on parole or probation.

Cauliflower wraps itself around bacon, cheddar cheese, jalapenos and scallions for these addictive, pan-fried golden little patties of deliciousness.
Being made mostly of cauliflower they are chock full of cauliflower flavor over anything else.
They are similar to a potato pancake with creamy, cheesy insides and crispy outsides with chewy bits of salty bacon throughout mingled with the spicy zing of jalapeno peppers.
There are few things I love more than a vegetable fritter. Strange but true.
Whether eaten piping hot from the pan, lukewarm or stone cold straight from the fridge they never fail to please my inner vegetable lover.
With so much flavor packed into one little bite, I can't resist their charms.
I find myself reaching for just one more. . .
again and again, until I'm standing in front of the refrigerator at midnight nibbling on the coveted little fritters like a hungry mouse.
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 5 slices crispy cooked and crumbled bacon
- 3 scallions sliced thin and diced
- 1 + ¼ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 jalapeno pepper, diced, seeds removed, optional
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- coarse salt and fresh black pepper
- vegetable oil, for pan-frying
- sour cream and chopped chives or scallions, for garnish
- Steam the cauliflower until fork tender. Rinse with cold water or place them in a large bowl of ice water.
- Drain well then lightly mash with a potato masher or fork. Add the mashed cauliflower to a wire strainer or colander placed over a bowl to drain excess water 10 - 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a small bowl whisk together the eggs, bacon, scallions, jalapeno, 2 tablespoons of the flour and a pinch each of salt and pepper.
- Add the drained cauliflower into a large bowl and whisk in the egg mixture, stir in the cheese and the remaining cup of flour, baking powder and season again lightly with salt and pepper.
- Cover the bottom of a large nonstick skillet generously with oil and heat over medium heat. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flatten slightly and cook until golden brown, flip and cook until golden brown on the other side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Add oil as needed to the pan and repeat until all the fritters are cooked. Serve with sour cream and fresh chopped chives or scallions for garnish.

A survivor of Stockton's Cleveland School massacre visited Washington D.C. this week to argue against (!) gun control. Rob Young also advocates for arming school officials.
A survivor of Stockton's Cleveland School massacre visited Washington D.C. this week to argue against (!) gun control. Rob Young also advocates for arming school officials.
Young was shot at Cleveland School when he was a 6-year-old boy. He is now a Bay Area policeman. He's also a member of Gun Owners of America. The group wants to repeal "gun-free zones" on school campuses.
"Young says if they are properly trained, school principals and teachers should be allowed to carry loaded firearms on their campuses," Tuesday's story in The Record read. "He says it would make schools safer in an emergency."
"Why not have someone there with a gun who can act before the police get there?" Young asked. "If it saves one child, it's worth it."
I couldn't disagree more.
First, merely training a person to use firearms does not qualify them to police anything. If so, there would be no need to screen police psychiatrically. Gun skill would suffice.
It doesn't. Police, like anyone wielding lethal force, obviously must have certain characteristics: In fact, the "Police Officer Psychological Screening Dimensions" is as long as your arm.
Just a few requirements: "Stays calm in the face of verbal abuse from others"; "makes timely, responsible decisions and actions in dangerous/crisis situations"; "can perform in the face of personal threat, where people are capable of life-threatening violence."
I posted the entire profile on my blog. Check it out to see why the vast majority of police candidates wash out. And why most educators would, too.
Second - and as a police officer, Young must know this - in the wrong hands, guns cause as much havoc as they prevent.
Within the last few days alone, a Stockton man accidentally shot his friend to death in a Holiday Drive duplex; a man shot himself in the leg as he stuffed a gun into his pocket; and, up in Salem, Ore., a hunter was acquitted of manslaughter for the accidental shooting death of a French Camp man. The hunter mistook the man for a bear.
"I made a terrible mistake," the hunter lamented in court. "I didn't mean for it to happen. I'm terribly sorry."
This reality - the other side of guns' vaunted utility for self-protection - prompted Alan Jacobs of The American Conservative to write:
"We can be absolutely sure that within a few years more people would be killed by teachers who fired their weapons accidentally or in misplaced anger or fear, or by students who stole their teachers' guns, than have ever been killed in school massacres like those in Newtown and Columbine."
Third, arming teachers is a big step toward the elimination of civil society. The definition of civil society varies so much I'm not even sure how to describe it. It's the part without guns, though.
It's the part living in peace and safety, resolving disputes without violence. Co-existing according to social codes, finding ways to live without threatening others with guns, or living under perennial threat.
But if it saves one child's life isn't it worth it? No. That's simplistic.
By that logic, we should eliminate cars. They kill children. But we reckon reasonably that the benefits of cars, once they are made as safe as possible, outweigh the risks.
We heavily regulate cars, though. And no one complains the regulations are unconstitutional, or that they are the thin end of the wedge leading to total car confiscation.
Only someone unable to live with the reasonable amount of risk endemic to the world could fail to see folly of trying to eliminate all risk by guns or any means.
Yet such people exist. They argue vigorously, always for more security, always at a higher price.
Cede the world to them, you have perpetual warfare.
That's the joke: a world of Dick Cheneys hell-bent on eliminating all risk is a more dangerous world. A society of tense order achieved by guns and fear is a more dangerous society. Civil society is the peacemaker, not the Colt.
Back to Jacobs. On school shootings: "Hard cases make bad law, and freakishly rare events prompt bad policies. As most Americans should be reminded every time they are forced to take off their shoes in airports."
Understandably, this may be a hard point for Young to accept. But it is true. What happened to him was one in a million. Schools should not create an arms race because of it.

Immigration 'reform': This bill is not it
June 10. 2013 4:42PM
Disappointingly, U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte has announced her support for the Gang of Eight's so-called immigration reform bill, to be debated in the Senate this week. Her high hopes for the bill are not supported by its text.
There is no question that the nation's immigration system is dysfunctional. Ayotte outlines her support for the bill in a column in which she calls our immigration system "broken." However, it is not accurate to call "broken" a system that functions largely as it was intended to function.
The crazy system we have now allows waves of unskilled immigrants to flood into the country illegally. This is by design. Congress could have mandated better border defenses to enforce the law; it chose not to. Thus we have tight restrictions on the immigration of highly skilled, highly educated immigrants, but effectively none on low-skilled, uneducated ones.
The bill Ayotte supports would offer some improvements, particularly regarding high-skilled and entreprenurial immigrants. But it contains the same flaw so many previous immigration "reform" proposals have had: It provides a path to legal residency for millions of illegals first, with a promise that eventually the government will secure the border. Does anyone really believe the latter will ever happen?
The nation is in dire need of a comprehensive reform of our immigration laws. By frontloading forgiveness and backloading enforcement, this bill fails to meet that test.

Nashua to expand compressed natural gas fueling facilityBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
April 21. 2013 10:29PM
NASHUA - The city is about to have one of the largest compressed natural gas fueling facilities in New England, as plans are under way to double the amount of storage vessels currently at the site.
Earlier this month, the Nashua Planning Board approved the expansion of the city's CNG fueling facility to allow for three additional gas storage vessels.
"This is our largest station in terms of footprint and capacity of other CNG stations we have in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island," Michael Manning said of the Nashua complex.
Manning, director of marketing and business development for Alternative Vehicle Service Group LP, said that the city's ongoing efforts to increase its fleet of CNG vehicles is causing some delays for vehicles filling their tanks each weekday.
"There has been some lag time in fueling each morning," said Manning, He said the addition of three new storage vessels will eliminate the line of vehicles waiting at the pump.
There are currently three CNG storage vessels at the facility on Riverside Street, for a total 300 gasoline gallon equivalents.
The new storage vessels will double the capacity to 600 gallons, according to Manning, which will allow about 10 vehicles to be fueled without delay compared to about five vehicles.
"When the fueling facility was built in 2010, it was constructed to allow for the extra set of three storage vessels, said Manning.
"The vessels are refilled multiple times during the day," said Manning, who explained a typical refuse truck will consume about 65 gallons if it is near empty. "The vessels, for the most part, are never empty."
The station is fully accessible to the public, and is currently consuming more than 3,000 gallon gas equivalents per month.
Nashua has a fleet of about 40 CNG vehicles, which includes mostly garbage trucks, two street sweepers and some heavy duty pickup trucks. Earlier this year, the finance committee authorized the purchase of a $420,000 CNG bus for the Nashua Transit System, one of two fuel-efficient buses expected to be bought this year by the city.
Last year, Nashua was recognized as the first community in New England to aggressively replace its city vehicles with more energy efficient trucks, receiving accolades from NGVAmerica and Harvard University for its efforts.
Nashua is paying about $2.30 a gallon for its compressed natural gas vehicles, Mayor Donnalee Lozeau said previously, noting CNG vehicles are not only good for the environment, but are saving the city significant money in fuel costs.
There are three major benefits for municipalities looking to purchase CNG vehicles, said Manning.
He said the fuel is extremely clean, it is a domestic, U.S. produced fuel with a very stable price, and CNG vehicles do not require after-treatments on their exhaust systems like diesel trucks do, which can save communities a lot of cash.
Large CNG vehicles are still costly, the prices are coming down, said Manning - a typical CNG garbage truck costs around $300,000 compared to a regular diesel garage truck with a price-tag of about $250,000.
"It has just grown exponentially," he said. "The product numbers are increasing and the cost numbers are decreasing."
During a visit to Nashua last year, President Barack Obama commended the city for trying be more energy efficient.
During a tour of Nashua Community College, Obama - who was promoting his efforts to boost domestic energy production and reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil - said he was pleased to hear that Nashua is taking steps to reduce its fuel usage.
At the time, Obama called on every government agency to ensure that by 2015 all new government vehicles purchased are fuel efficient.

This is a good example of why you shouldnt be able to start more then 1 thread an hour.
New QB coach groom to be offensive coordinator
This is a good example of why you shouldnt be able to start more then 1 thread an hour.
I believe pennington could turn out be a wonderful OC- very bright-(like McElroy a Rhodes finalist)-made the best of limited phyusical skills learning to adjust to his skill set. why not?
Does Pennington want to coach?
He made a lot of money in his QB-ing days.
Norv as OC.
Penny as QB coach.
T Rich as RB coach.
Damn straight
I think Pennington would be an excellent QB coach.
Get Randy Moss away from San Fran, bring a 37 year-old Chad Pennington back to QB this team & watch the magic return!...
Why does everyone assume Pennington would willingly come back?
It was a pretty nasty split. Not to mention, he's never made any indication of wanting to coach at the pro level.
Bring back Vinny Testaverde too!
Yea because Pennington has what coaching experience?
Don't want a noodle team, pass
this thread jumped teh shark at post #1
I don't know how many times Pennington has to say that IF he were to coach he would not go higher than the High School level for it to sink in into people's heads.
Shark99 back starting threads again
Who's next?
There's actually even one worse

Granite quarry, Hancock CountyItem 14053 info
Maine Granite Industry Historical Society
Granite quarrying began in Maine about 1830 and grew steadily until early in the 20th century when reinforced concrete and steel became preferred building materials.
But until then, Maine was known for its granite.
The state was the leader in the value of granite produced in the United States in 1901.
Hallowell Granite Works carvers, ca. 1895Item 29247 info
Hubbard Free Library
The state boasted at least 152 quarries that employed about 3,500 workers (who earned some $2 million annually), who not only extracted the granite, but cut it into sizes and shapes that had been ordered for specific projects, and sometime carved it into decorative shapes for buildings across the U.S.
Quarries were in locations all over the state with the largest number in Knox County, followed by Hancock and Washington counties.
Immigrant workers at Hall Quarry, Mount Desert, 1905Item 19465 info

The skilled workers – many immigrants from Italy, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Scotland and England – were as important as the state's geography and natural resources.
Granite Cutters' National Union Badge, FrankfortItem 19458 info
Maine Granite Industry Historical Society
In 1877, granite workers in Maine formed the first granite industry union, the Granite Cutters Union, to protect their wages, reduce working hours, force regular pay dates, ensure quality, and formalize an apprenticeship system. Some cutters were not making living wages and the work was liable to end at any time, among other issues.
Merrill Quarry, Crotch Island, StoningtonItem 17200 info
Maine Granite Industry Historical Society
On Vinalhaven in 1878, the Bodwell Granite Co. planned to fire 30 union members, prompting a strike. The strike ended, but low wages continued to be a concern for workers.
Much of the work Bodwell undertook was for government contracts for buildings in Washington, D.C., and various post offices.
Cutting sheds, Benvenue Granite Co., Stonington, ca. 1912Item 26140 info

Granite work was dangerous, involving dynamite blasts, cave-ins, highly stressed steel cables, and a debilitating lung disease caused by dust in the quarries and the cutting and polishing sheds.
Quarry Workers At Mount Waldo, ca. 1860Item 25986 info
Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands
Maine's geologic history left the state with numerous granite deposits.
But it was the location of granite deposits close to ocean ports and the availability of large ships, shipbuilders, and timber to build ships that made granite extraction economically viable.
Galamander at Mount Waldo, ca. 1860Item 25985 info
Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands
The granite industry in Maine declined by the middle of the 20th century as new building styles and materials replaced the old.
But the evidence of Maine's dominance remains in buildings and structures such as the Brooklyn Bridge, Washington Monument, Grant's Tomb, and the Smithsonian, among many others.
Limestone quarry, Thomaston, ca. 1880Item 25370 info
Maine Historical Society
Granite may have built the structure, but limestone provided plaster and mortar.
Limestone quarrying began in the early 1800s and a huge vein of it lay near the surface in the Thomaston-Rockland-Rockport area.
Not only is it high-quality limestone, it is close to the coast and therefore, like the granite, easily loaded onto ships and transported.
Lime rock quarry, Rockland, ca. 1915Item 26112 info
Maine Historical Society
The quarries and kilns produced agricultural limestone, burned lime, cement materials, and chemical limestone for use in the paper industry.
Dragon Quarry, Rockland, ca. 1930Item 25249 info
Maine Historical Society/MaineToday Media
Also like granite, the quarrying and processing operations, along with related equipment and transportation needs, stretched across the community and the economy. In the winter, farmers might make casks or barrels for transporting the lime.
Woodsmen and others cut timber to fire the kilns, until coal replaced wood as the major fuel supply in the early 20th century.
Shipbuilders built ships and captains sailed away from the coast with their volatile cargo. At the height of the lime industry, about 200 ships were in use transporting Maine lime.
Lime Quarry, Thomaston, ca. 1870Item 27840 info
Thomaston Historical Society
Quarrying was dangerous work, with the men using dynamite to break into the rock, and pickaxes or sledgehammers to break it into smaller pieces.
They then removed it from the quarry and loaded it onto carts or rail cars for transport to kilns.
Interior of Creighton Kiln, Thomaston, 1900Item 27827 info
Thomaston Historical Society
The rock was cooked in huge kilns at high temperature until it became quicklime, which was then crushed for use in mortar, plaster, and other building and agricultural products.
Once processed, the lime was put into casks for shipping to various markets.
Cooked lime is volatile and fires were common, both at kilns and aboard ships, where water could ignite the lime.
Creighton Limekilns, Thomaston, ca. 1930Item 27826 info
Thomaston Historical Society
Lime workers, too, fought for fair wages. A story in the New York Times in March 1898 reported that Rockland quarrymen were on strike, and others throughout the state could follow.
The issue was primarily wages. In order for Rockland workers, where the lime and the facilities were superior, to get more money, Rockport and Thomaston also had to increase their wages to keep Rockland from pricing itself out of the market.
Creighton Kiln Base, Thomaston, 1900Item 27825 info

By the middle of the 20th century, the limestone industry was largely gone, with the vein of stone depleted and new building materials replacing the old.
Monson-Maine Slate Company millItem 9182 info
Monson Historical Society
From 1880 to 1904 Maine was among the top five slate-producing states in the country, providing slate of excellent quality for roofing tiles and other purposes.
Many Maine homes and public buildings dating to that time are still protected by their original slate roofs.
Monson alone had more than a dozen slate quarries at the end of the 19th century. By the second decade of the 20th century, three companies owned most of the slate pits and quarries.

Monson slate is considered to be a fine quality because of the black color.
It was used as the memorial stone for President John F. Kennedy and his two children. In August of 1994 the headstone was made of Monson slate for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.
St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York has a slate roof made from Monson slate.

Monson Historical Society
In an 1889 brochure entitled "Monson, the Switzerland of Maine," the Monson Maine Slate Company waxed poetic about the beauties of the region and its many attractions.
In a short section about the company, the brochure proclaims, "These quarries are situated in a pretty valley, hemmed in by tree-crested hills, and are reached by a serpentine road through beautiful rural surroundings, or over the petite narrow gauge railroad."
The brochure called Monson slate the best in the world -- durable and a blue-black shade that becomes "richer in color the longer it is laid."
Slate workers, Monson, ca. 1922Item 10751 info
Monson Historical Society
Between 1872 and 1889, the company produced 250,000 squares of roofing slate that was sold all over the U.S.
The company called the vein it was mining "inexhaustible."
Monson Slate Quarry HoistItem 9180 info
Monson Historical Society
The Monson Slate Company brochure also noted that, "It requires a practiced eye to detect at a glance the slate and the flint; and of all men engaged in the business, the Welshman, who has worked in slate quarries of his own native Wales, can most readily read, as it were, the language of rocks."
Slate quarry, Brownville Junction, ca. 1910Item 26068 info
Penobscot Marine Museum
As in other mining operations in Maine, slate workers undertook the dangerous work of blasting the slate when necessary to remove large chunks.
It also was removed with crowbars or other hand tools.
Mayfield Slate Quarry, SkowheganItem 9085 info
Skowhegan History House
Workers then trim the slate to insure a uniform thickness for use in roofing.
While the work was once done by hand with a chisel, by 1889, it was done by a steam-operated knife.
Slate companies also make tubs, sinks, countertops, blackboards, hearthstones, flooring, windowsills, and numerous other products.

I think its fair to say that when you think of Coby Whitmore you think of beautiful women in stylish clothes... or romantic couples arranged in a hundred variations of "the clinch". What you don't usually think of is kids.
But - surprise - Coby Whitmore was just as adept at drawing and painting scenes from the playful world of children as he was at scenes of grownups engaged in games... of another sort.
Since so many of the past few weeks' posts have focused on the art of illustrating children, I thought we should make a note of Whitmore's expertise in that area as well. Too often illustrators are pigeon-holed by their most popular subject matter. But versatility is the key to success and diversity of subject matter keeps the work interesting.

About Stuart Hawkins
Splitting her time between New York and Nepal, Stuart Hawkins' partially staged photographs and eccentric videos call into question the power dynamic between undeveloped and developed nations. Often working with her Nepalese friends, Hawkins paints an unflattering portrait of the Western tourist in order to highlight the global divide between waste and wealth. Her videos often suggest bizarre sitcoms. For example, in her video piece The Naturalist (2008), a resort staff member is lured into performing animal sounds and birdcalls during a "happy hour" in order to entertain a Western audience that seeks to enjoy the authentic sounds of nature—and distract them from the reality that many of these sounds can no longer be heard.
American, b. 1969, Norfolk, Virginia, based in New York, NY and Nepal

PORTSMOUTH — On Thursday, David Wilson, 27, was picked up by the Portsmouth Police Department at the Kennebec County Jail in Augusta, Maine, as he waived extradition.
Wilson was transported to the Portsmouth police station and was formally charged on two armed robbery counts, one robbery charge and receiving stolen property.
Wilson was processed on the charges and transported to the Rockingham County Jail. He will be arraigned today via video arraignment at a court yet to be determined.
Wilson is charged with armed robbery stemming from an incident on Jan. 29, at Tedeschi's Food Mart on Islington Street.
At approximately 5:15 p.m. on that date a male suspect entered the store armed with what appeared to be a handgun and demanded money from the cashier. The suspect fled the store with an undisclosed amount of cash.
On Feb. 1, at approximately 8:20 p.m., there was a second armed robbery in the Worth Parking Lot in downtown Portsmouth. A woman was approached by a man who assaulted her and forcefully removed her purse.
During the struggle the suspect struck the woman multiple times in the head causing injuries. It was later determined based on evidence recovered from the scene the victim was struck with a pellet gun. The male suspect then fled the area on foot.
As a result of this incident Wilson is being charged with robbery and armed robbery.
On April 2, Portsmouth police executed a search warrant on a vehicle that was impounded after officers found Wilson and a female inside of it. At the time the two were wanted on separate warrants and were arrested.
As a result of searching the vehicle additional charges of receiving stolen property (six counts) were drafted for Wilson.
Anyone with additional information relative to the above mentioned crimes may contact Detective R. Hester at 610-7649 or Officer G. Drew at 610-7625.

When officials talk down the national currency to stimulate exports and economic growth there's a risk that falls can get out of hand, hence the verbal intervention by Japanese finance minister Akira Amari that the Japanese yen (JPY) has gone far enough. The trouble is that Japan's fundamentals are so dire that this may only be the beginning.
JPY's descent versus the U.S. dollar was stabilized above key support around 100. But that's not likely to last as the U.S. Federal Reserve is talking more enthusiastically about stopping its quantitative easing program. But longer-term, Japan faces a fiscal crisis as it can't balance its books and that could prove to be a sledgehammer blow for its currency
The numbers on Japan are ugly. Government expenditure is 46% funded by borrowing adding to the already huge debt pile running at over 240% to GDP. Meanwhile the savings rate is falling with nearly a quarter of government revenue being used to pay interest on its debt in an environment of very low interest rates.
The new government headed by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe thinks it will turn the ship around with aggressive quantitative easing and fiscal stimulus, but may end up making the situation worse.
How much further for USD/JPY?
Japan has tried all this before and it didn't reverse two lost decades of growth. Repeating the exercise on a grander scale is unlikely to create much more than a temporary up-tick in GDP growth.
Japan can't grow sustainably any more. The country's population isn't just aging, but actually set to shrink dramatically and these two trends are well entrenched. Nearly a quarter of Japan's 128 million population is over the age of 65. By 2060 that is forecast to rise to 40% with the population declining to 87 million. Household consumption makes up around 60% of Japan's GDP and that key segment is shrinking and so therefore the economy will to.

When plants absorb sunlight, theyconvert carbon dioxideinto energy-rich organic compounds. What if humans could do the same thing? What if we could pull CO2 out of the air and use it to build organic molecules? This revolutionary idea is still just that — an idea. But organic chemists at UNC are laying the groundwork for turning it into reality.
A freshwater aquarium looks a bit like an underwater garden — bright, green grasses grow next to burgundy leaves resembling arugula. Small, silver fish dart between the foliage, as streams of bubbles flow up through the water column.
Dave Nicewicz stares at this array of life contained within the rectangular glass tank on his desk.
"Look at the little oxygen bubble at the edge of the leaf — that's a good one" he says, pointing to theplant with a reddish hue. A small heat lamp mimics the sun, radiating light into the tank, while six different species of plants release oxygen.
"I love this thing because you can actually see photosynthesis happening — you can't see that outside."
As a research scientist, Nicewicz finds inspiration in photosynthesis. And while he loves plants (both his office and home are full of them) he is not a biologist — he's an organic chemist.
"I'm not equating what we do to photosynthesis, but we're inspired by that process," he says.
Nicewicz's ultimate goal is to use the most abundant source of energy on the planet — sunlight — to power chemical reactions. "To harvest sunlight in a way that either directly or indirectly can be used in chemical reactions by translating photons into electrons," he says. "That's the future."
Humans have not yet engineered a way to create the complex biological machinery of plant life in a lab, according to Nicewicz, but the inspiration for the starting point is there — in the form of photo-redox catalysis.
"It's just a fancy way of saying we use light to make cool molecules," says Nate Romero, a former PhD student of the Nicewicz lab.
To explain this chemical process, it's helpful to break down each word. We're talking about creating reactions, and all reactions require an energy input – like heat or light. Photo refers to light, and redox refers to the transfer of electrons. Catalysis simply means using a catalyst, which decreases the amount of energy needed for a reaction to occur.
"We can use a single catalyst to make hundreds or thousands or millions of molecules that we're interested in studying," says Cole Cruz, a graduate research assistant in the lab.
By trying out different catalysts, this group of organic chemists can trim off one part of a molecule, or combine molecules that wouldn't typically combine. These "cool molecules" play a major role in the development of vital plastics and medicines around the world — making the production process more economical and more environmentally friendly.

Options Traders Side With Comcast on NBCUniversal Deal
As Comcast Corp. doubled down on its bet on traditional television networks, options traders took the gambler's side.
Bullish activity dominated trading in Comcast options Wednesday after the cable operator announced fourth-quarter results Tuesday–and after it said it would buy General Electric Co.'s 49% stake in NBCUniversal for $16.7 billion, giving Comcast full ownership of the entertainment company. The biggest Comcast options trade of the day sees the shares adding as much as 25% over the next two years.
"Comcast now controls everything top to bottom, from content to delivery, and investors seem to like the deal," said Mark Sebastian, chief operating officer at consulting firm OptionPit. "This could be the next step in the process: content delivery merging with content providers."
Comcast shares jumped $1.11, or 2.9%, to $40.08 Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the shares traded as high as $42, an intraday record.

Pectoralis implants, i.e. implants for contouring of the male chest, are used for aesthetic as well as reconstructive purposes.
Due to our many years of experience with breast implants for female patients we are able to offer pectoralis implants (link to PDF for download) that cater to the most demanding requirements regarding quality and safety.
Pectoralis implants may be exposed to higher stress than, for example, breast implants, this is why they are filled with an even more cohesive gel.
The incision by which the implant will be inserted is usually placed in the armpit.

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) -- Chinese economic data for June, released Wednesday morning, printed mostly above forecasts, though the numbers failed to lift markets in the face of a separate report showing a drop in housing sales. Industrial output rose by 9.2% from a year earlier, accelerating from May's 8.8% growth and besting an expected gain of 9% according to respective surveys of economists from The Wall Street Journal and Reuters. Urban fixed-asset investment, watched as a measure of construction activity, was up 17.3% for the January-June period, slightly ahead of forecasts that the measure would remain at the 17.2% level recorded in the January-May print (fixed-asset investment is reported on a year-to-date basis). Retail sales for June rose 12.4%, as tipped in the Reuters and Wall Street Journal polls, slowing a little from May's 12.5% increase. However, the data were quickly followed by other numbers on China's housing market for the first half of the year, which showed housing sales down 9.2% from a year earlier. Likely because of this, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.07% trimmed its 0.3% pre-data gain to 0.2%, while the Shanghai Composite Index SHCOMP, -0.85% traded fractionally lower, swinging from a 0.1% gain. The Australian dollar AUDUSD, -0.0140% often sensitive to Chinese economic data, fell to 93.44 U.S. cents from 93.63 U.S. cents, while Australia's S&P/ASX 200 stock index XJO, +0.56% was down 0.1% after trading flat before the release.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City cab driver from Pakistan and his daughter both began weeping the second she first took the witness stand at his murder conspiracy trial. Once composed, she told a jury that they had a loving relationship — and that he had once threatened to kill her.
The encounter came in a case where Mohammad Ajmal Choudhry has pleaded not guilty to charges he arranged the killings last year of two relatives of a man who helped his daughter flee an arranged marriage in Pakistan. Prosecutors at the trial in federal court in Brooklyn have likened the shooting deaths to so-called honor killings - the ruthless vigilantism against Pakistani women accused of disgracing their families.
"I don't want to hear any more complaints about you," Amina Ajmal claimed her father warned her when he first learned she wanted out of the marriage. "I will kill you if you do anything wrong."
Though she agreed to testify for the government, Ajmal often sounded and acted on Thursday like she didn't want to be there. There were long pauses before meekly mumbling answers to prosecutor's questions about her father's alleged misdeeds. Yes, she answered, he had threatened her, but she quickly added, "I don't think he meant it."
Asked earlier to describe their relationship, Ajmal responded, "We were very close. ... He loved me."
The defense claims that Choudhry, who was in Brooklyn at the time of the deaths in Pakistan, had no hand in them. They say government agents coached the daughter on how to manipulate her father into making empty threats that were recorded for use as evidence against him.
Ajmal, 23, was born in Pakistan, lost her mother as a young child and was largely raised in Brooklyn by her Muslim father. She testified she was the only one of his five children to take to Western trappings like social media and to go to college. But in 2009, she said, her father tricked her into visiting Pakistan so the family could force her to marry one of her cousins there.
"He told me I was too Americanized, and I needed to learn my culture," she testified.
Shortly after wedding in a traditional ceremony in 2012, Ajmal asked a man she described as her true love to help her flee. She slipped away and flew to the United States early last year, where she went into hiding but stayed in phone contact with her father.
When Choudhry began threatening to track down the man and kill him unless she returned home and restored the family's honor, she agreed to let federal agents record their phone calls. On tapes played for the jury, he can be heard repeatedly bemoaning the humiliation he felt over her disobedience.
In their culture, sons were free to come and go, he explained. But, he added, "When a daughter runs away, parents are demeaned forever." He warned in another recording, "If you don't come back, there is only death."
Shortly after Ajmal learned that the victims had been gunned down in Pakistan, she called her father and asked, "Have you done this?"
He responded that another person "killed this time and made me part of it." But he also repeated the threat that he would "not leave a single member of their family alive" if she didn't return home.
News of the killings had made him "a man of no honor," he lamented. "My daughters are whores. ... You still have time. Think about it in the next 24 hours."
"What will you do after 24 hours?"
"What else? Another person will be gone."

Long-term cash saving as investment is risky, experts say
It seems that the financial meltdown of 2008 continues to affect how a lot of people invest their money.
According to a new survey by Bankrate.com, 25 percent of Americans keep their long-term savings in cash instead of other types of investments that traditionally provide significantly higher returns.
Greg McBride, Bankate's senior financial analyst, calls the findings "alarming."
"You're going to earn a return that's so low, it's not going to preserve your buying power. And I think the mindset people need to adopt is that what you think of as safe is actually quite risky over the long haul. Losing buying power is just as damaging as losing principal," McBride says.
If you're too averse to risk, McBride says, you may not have enough saved when it comes time to retire.
"So, particularly for something like a 401-K where you're investing regularly, don't be afraid to allocate more toward the stock market. That's where you're really going to get a better return over the long-haul that's going to help you achieve those long-range goals," says McBride.

DALLAS, Texas (UofA) - The 7th-ranked University of Arkansas football team defeated 11th-ranked Kansas State, 29-16, Friday night in Cowboys Stadium to win the 76th annual AT&T Cotton Bowl Classic. With the win, the Razorbacks finish the season with an 11-2 record. It is only the third 11 win season in school history and ties the school record for wins in a season.
The victory also gives the Razorbacks two bowl wins in the last three seasons, marking the third time in school history Arkansas has won two bowl games in a three-year span.
Arkansas, which never trailed in the game, got a stellar performance from its defense that held the Wildcats to only 87 yards on the ground, 2.2 yards per rush and also recorded seven sacks.
Offensively, Tyler Wilson led the way, going 20-for-31 for 216 yards and two touchdowns. Seven Razorbacks also recorded catches in the game with Jarius Wright topping all receivers with three catches for 88 yards and one score.
Both teams played to a stalemate well into the first quarter, but the Razorback defense came up huge on Kansas State's second drive of the game. After penalties pushed the Wildcat offense back to their own 20-yard line, senior Jake Bequette dropped quarterback Collin Klein in the backfield and knocked the ball loose. Tenarius Wright found himself in the right place and fell on the ball to put Arkansas back on offense with good field position.
Kicker Zach Hocker capitalized on the ensuing possession, kicking a 26-yard field goal and giving Arkansas a 3-0 lead with 4:19 to go in the first half. The field goal by the sophomore was his 19th of the season.
Two possessions later, this time in the second quarter, the Arkansas defense, again, had Kansas State deep in their own end zone and forced them to punt. Senior Joe Adams, who already had three punt returns for a touchdown this season, streaked to his fourth of the year from 51 yards out and gave the Razorbacks a two score lead at 10-0 with 14:27 to go in the second quarter.
Adams' touchdown return tied him for the SEC single-season record for punt return touchdowns and was the fifth of his career, which ties for third in SEC history with Vanderbilt's Lee Nalley.
With the defense continuing to have a strong half, the Razorbacks held the Wildcats to their third straight three-and-out and were able to start their offensive drive on the right side of the 50. On the first play from scrimmage, Dennis Johnson rumbled off a 28-yard run to the Kansas State 26-yard line, his longest run of the half. The Arkansas offense then pushed the ball inside the 10-yard line, where Hocker split the uprights on his second field goal of the night. The 22-yard boot pushed the UA lead to 13-0 with 9:20 to play in the first half.
The Razorbacks lit up the scoreboard again on their next possession as the offense got its first touchdown of the game on the back of a 45-yard touchdown pass from Wilson to Wright. With plenty of protection in the backfield, Wilson heaved the ball downfield to Wright, who hauled it in for his 12th scoring catch of the year. With six added points, the Razorbacks had a19-0 lead with 4:10 to play before halftime.
The catch by Wright gave him 2,934 career receiving yards and broke the Arkansas career receiving yards record previously held by Anthony Lucas, who had 2,879 receiving yards throughout his career.
As Hocker attempted the extra point, a Wildcat lineman blocked the kick and the loose ball was then returned by Nigel Malone into the Arkansas end zone for two points. That return cut into the lead ever so slightly at 19-2 with the Razorbacks still out in front.
KSU was able to take the momentum from those points three possessions later and score on a 4-yard touchdown pass from Klein to Andre McDonald to make it 19-9 entering halftime.
Much of the Razorbacks first half success can be credited to its defense that held the Wildcat offense to only 60 yards of total offense and recorded three sacks. Bequette's sack early in the first quarter gave him nine for the season. He added one more in the third quarter to pull to an even 10 for the year.
Kansas State added seven more points on its first possession of the second half to make it 19-16, but the Razorbacks answered with a touchdown of their own in the form of a 9-yard pass from Wilson to Cobi Hamilton. After starting the drive on their own 42-yard line, Wilson captained the offense down the field in 11 plays and 58 yards and put UA back up 26-16 with 3:57 to play in the third quarter. The touchdown toss by Wilson was his second of the night and 24th of the season.
The score stayed the same for much of the remainder of the game, but Arkansas did add three more points off the foot of Hocker, who converted his third field goal of the night from 30 yards out to extend the Razorback lead to 29-16 with 3:30 to play in the fourth quarter. The score would stay that way to the final horn.

NH delegation weighs in on deal to avert military strikes in SyriaBy TOM MILES and WARREN STROBEL/Reuters
and SHAWNE WICKHAM/Sunday News
September 14. 2013 5:02PM
GENEVA - The United States and Russia agreed on Saturday on a proposal to eliminate Syria's chemical weapons arsenal, averting the possibility of any immediate U.S. military action against President Bashar al-Assad's government.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced the agreement after nearly three days of talks in Geneva.
The news was greeted with hope and skepticism by members of New Hampshire's delegation.
"Syria's use of chemical weapons is a serious threat to our national security and the elimination of their weapons stockpile is in our best interests," said Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-NH.
Shaheen said Russia and Syria "must take immediate and concrete steps to abide by the terms of this agreement."
She commended Kerry for his efforts and said it was "the credible threat of force that helped push Russia to the negotiating table."
But Sen. Kelly Ayotte, R-NH, said while the world would be safer if Syria relinquished its chemical weapons, she is "deeply skeptical of Putin and Assad's motives and the UN's ability to help facilitate such an outcome."
"The Syrian government can't be allowed to use the cloak of diplomacy to bide time, and the details of any agreement should include strict verification and enforcement provisions," Ayotte said.
Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, D-NH, also said Putin's credibility is on the line. "So I'm sure that he's going to be putting a lot of pressure on Syria and on Assad to come forward," Shea-Porter said in an interview on MSNBC on Saturday.
Shea-Porter, who opposes military intervention in Syria, said she feels optimistic about the latest developments. "But the timelines are very important right now to make sure that Assad plans to do what he said he's going to do," she said.
Rep. Annie Kuster, D-NH, who opposes unilateral U.S. military strikes against Syria, called the news "a very encouraging development."
And she said, "I am hopeful that we are now en route to achieving our goal of containing the chemical weapons and securing a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Syria."
The state's two U.S. senators also want leaders to go even further.
Ayotte said any agreement must also "seek to identify, transfer and destroy Assad's formidable biological weapons arsenal."
And Shaheen called for support of her Middle East Cooperative Threat Reduction legislation, which aims to address the threat of chemical and biological weapons in that region.
"The proliferation of weapons of mass destruction present one of the gravest international dangers our country can face, and we must provide the resources and focus to address this potential threat for the future," Shaheen said.
Kerry said that under the pact, Syria must submit a "comprehensive listing" of its chemical weapons stockpiles within one week.
He told a news conference with Lavrov that U.N. weapons inspectors must be on the ground in Syria no later than November. The goal, he said, was the complete destruction of Syria's chemical weapons by the middle of 2014.
Kerry said that if Syria did not comply with the agreement, which must be finalized by the Organization for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons, it would face consequences under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, the part that covers sanctions and military action.
There was no agreement on what those measures would be. U.S. President Barack Obama reserves the right to use military force in Syria, Kerry said.
"There's no diminution of options," Kerry said.
Lavrov said of the agreement: "There (is) nothing said about the use of force and not about any automatic sanctions."
Obama had threatened the use of force in response to an Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack in Syria that U.S. officials say killed about 1,400 people. The United States has blamed Assad's government for the attack, while Russia and Assad say it was the work of rebel forces.
In Istanbul, the head of the opposition Syrian Supreme Military Council, General Selim Idris, said the rebels regarded the deal as a blow to their struggle to oust Assad. But they would cooperate to facilitate the work of any international inspectors on the ground, he told Reuters.
But another military council official, Qassim Saadeddine, said the opposite.
"Let the Kerry-Lavrov plan go to hell. We reject it and we will not protect the inspectors or let them enter Syria."
Despite the diplomatic breakthrough, chemical weapons only account for around 2 percent of deaths in a civil war in which 100,000 people have been killed.
On Saturday, Syrian warplanes struck against rebel-held suburbs of the capital Damascus and government forces clashed with rebels on the frontlines, according to residents.
The residents and opposition activists asked about the deal said that it would not benefit normal Syrians.
"The regime has been killing people for more than two years with all types of weapons. Assad has used chemical weapons six or seven times. The killing will continue. No change will happen. That is it," said an opposition activist in a rebel-held suburb of Damascus who uses the name Tariq al-Dimashqi.
"The most important point is the act of killing, no matter what is the weapon," he said.
Syrian state media broadcast the Kerry and Lavrov news conference live, indicating that Damascus is satisfied with the deal.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said earlier that a report by U.N. chemical weapons experts would confirm that poison gas was used in the Aug. 21 attack.
Ban also said that Assad "has committed many crimes against humanity." although he did not say whether it was Assad's forces or rebels who used the gas.
The original drive for a political solution to the conflict, dubbed the "Geneva Plan" and calling for a transitional government, went nowhere as Assad refused to cede power and the opposition insisted he could not be a part of any new political order.
The latest talks prompted Obama to put on hold his plans for U.S. air strikes in response to the chemical weapons attack. Obama is now also spared facing a vote in Congress on military action that he had appeared increasingly likely to lose at this stage.
Experts say removing Syria's hundreds of tons of chemical weapons, scattered in secret installations, will pose huge technical problems in the middle of a civil war.

By default, the ViewState for ASP.NET DataGrids can be quite large, as it normally stores enough information to recreate the grid completely after a postback. Often, I have found that I need the grid to display a list of items with only paging, sorting, and some buttons that let you delete or edit (via another page) individual items. For this, there is no need for the page to survive a post-back and recreate itself, since each postback either reloads the grid's data or it jumps to another page.
Unfortunately, just disabling ViewState completely for the DataGrid results in no events being handled in ASP.NET, since the DataGrid is not recreated on a postback. This eliminates the obvious method of minimizing the ViewState since it doesn't allow for any of the things I need to do.
I had read another option suggesting that for each ItemCreated, you could set the individual DataGridItem's ViewState to False, and this indeed allows for paging and sorting to work -- but button events will not fire and we lose things like each item's ItemIndex. So, again, no dice.
Other ideas are to not use bound columns at all but rather to use template columns consisting of databound literals or labels with ViewState explicitly disabled, but I really like the simple, elegant and short code of bound columns, so I tried to see if there is any other way to go about this.
Well, after much fiddling around, here's the simple technique that seemed to work well:
private void DataGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, DataGridItemEventArgs e) { foreach (TableCell c in e.Item.Cells) { c.EnableViewState=false; } }
The above code, which should be attached to the ItemCreated event, simply enumerates the TableCells for that item and disables their ViewStates. All other ViewStates for the DataGrid (individual DataGridItems and the DataGrid itself) still should have ViewState enabeld. This lets paging and sorting happen as normal, but now your button's events will fire and you will have access to the ItemIndex and DataKeys other useful features of the DataGridItem. This results in a much smaller ViewState since none of the text that is displayed in each cell is stored. The ViewState is still there and not totally eliminated, of course, but this seems to be a decent solution that keeps it as small as possible while not sacrificing too many features.
Remember, of course, that using this technique will mean that your DataGrid will not be fully restored on a postback! It's pretty cool, though, to see what happens -- the whole thing is re-created will all buttons and the correct number of rows and columns, just all of them are blank! Which is exactly what we want -- just the structure of the DataGrid itself to be preserved, not the actual data.
Note that it appears that databound CommandArgs on buttons will not persist when you use this technique, but to work around that you can just get the corresponding ID from the DataKeys collection of the DataGrid. Of course, you could also just disable the ViewState for only certain TableCells, not just all of them, if you like.
