Have you wondered what is wrong with America lately. I would like to spend some time with this blog exploring this issue.
Without a doubt, the hottest issue in America is gay marriage. Ask anyone on the street and they will have an opinion on this very issues. Countless states have ballot measures defining a marriage is between man and a woman. Overwhelmingly the people have voted to reaffirm that marriage is between a man and a woman.
The politicians in the cities of Boston and Chicago have even gone so far to suggest that would not want to allow a Chick-fil-A franchise business in their city because of the CEO's belief that marriage is between a man and a woman as defined in the Bible. Today we saw the public overwhelmingly support Chick-A Fil franchisees all across America.
America is on a slipper slope in regards to this issue. The definition of marriage is not defined by man, but instead it has been defined by God. The Bible is clear on this definition. If we attempt to redefine God's word, it will only lead to his judgment.

I had to laugh recently when Restoration Hardware got sued for making an aluminum chair identical to one that has been sold to the U.S. Navy since World War II. The home furnishings retailer's price was $129 while the manufacturer of the original is selling theirs to the military for $450. It brought to mind Sen. William Proxmire's "Golden Fleece Awards" for those toilet seats and screw drivers the military tends to lap up at outrageous prices.
The so-called "sequestration" arising out of congressional gridlock will cut all government spending by roughly 8 percent on Jan. 1. At the same time, tax rates return to what they were before the Bush tax cuts. However, this "fiscal cliff" might not be so bad if it brings in more money and reduces government spending.
To focus on just the military, its current budget is now $700 billion a year (a $250 billion annual increase over the past 10 years) so the sequester cut of roughly 8 percent, would mean $56 billion of annual savings — as much as all the other cuts combined. Since the current $700 billion is more than the rest of the world's entire combined defense budget, we can probably make this cut and not see a drop in our level of safety. It's a far cry from the immediate pain that comes from having to fire teachers and police officers while forgoing the repair of a sagging infrastructure and closing parks.
Cutting military spending is not that easy, because there are military contractors in more than 150 congressional districts, so already Congress is talking about cutting everything BUT the military. The irony is that we are approving military spending beyond what the military itself has said it needs.
And then there are those nuclear weapons. We maintain approximately 10,000 of them now at an annual cost of $18 billion. We can cut that figure by 8 percent and not lose sleep at night. In fact, we might be safer.
Just before we entered the Bosnian war, Madeline Albright asked Colin Powell why we bothered to maintain such an expensive military if we weren't prepared to use it. We know what happened next. A bloated military will find things to do, so a collateral benefit of reducing military spending may be to reduce the inclination to go to war. That $700 billion, by the way, does not include the cost of wars or the cost of caring for wounded veterans. If we make a single exemption from sequestration, it should be to fully fund the Veterans Affairs Department.
So, there is a bright side to the fiscal cliff if it finally gives us a handle on military spending. Once cuts have been made, the areas that generate the most immediate gratification will be the first ones to experience a comeback. For example, a few bridges collapsing on the interstate and the effects of the cuts to national education programs — not to mention future demands on FEMA — should prompt a groundswell of public support to bring that money back.
Where does the money come from to fund the most obvious needs? A growing economy in spite of increased taxes, like the one that persisted during the Clinton era, should provide the seed crystal in the rain cloud. Consider, for example, the current turnaround in the construction industry, which dwarfs any other industry in the country. A consensus states that the fiscal cliff fallout will reduce the gross national product by 4 percent, but with GNP growing at 2 percent and rising this doesn't sound like some apocalypse to me. The productive consequence may be one of finally getting a handle on out-of-control military expenditures. For its part, the Navy should exercise some leadership by example and start buying its chairs from Restoration Hardware.
Any initial shock of the fiscal cliff might wear off quickly, then, as collateral benefits come into play. The most important engine that impacts corporate profits and business growth is the cost of borrowing money. The continuation of historically low interest rates should far offset any cliff-triggered increase in tax rates. Add to this the savings in military spending and we could be launching the gilded age of the century.

"Indians in Stow Township" by Henry Wetmore, 1872 (adapted from The Bronson Book)
At that time the line of the present Carriage Road just south of Silver Lake was occupied by a continuous line of Indian huts. This was on a beautiful site, along a sandy ridge. The huts were made generally of poles, caulked with moss and covered with bark. The Indians [probably of the Mingo tribe], squaws and children, numbered in all about 500. Their chief was called Wagmong.
"Fertility of the Virgin Soil"
Immediately upon our arrival the Indians brought us venison and wild fowl. They expected no compensation, as the idea of a money recompense did not enter their minds at that early day, but brought their offerings solely out of friendship. My father [Judge William Wetmore], however, registered the names of each donor in a book. He instructed them to call again, and he would make them some presents.
The new rich soil produced an abundant yield, and the crop proved a mine of wealth to us in our dealings with the red men. All our vegetables were new to them, and a marvel in their estimation. After giving to all who had given to us, Father got them to establish prices. They fixed upon six good turnips or cucumbers for a quarter of venison or a turkey. In making these exchanges, Father added to the vegetables calling the addition a present, thereby securing the friendship of the Indians. In no instance did they steal vegetables from us. By this system we were supplied with meat, fowls and wild fruit in abundance from June, 1804, until the War of 1812, when the red men left us.
Thus we lived in friendship and confidence; never fastening our doors at night, and never molested. During the daytime some of them, or of their squaws or children, were at our house every day more or less. One of the great attractions was our looking glass, all had to go and see it, and make faces in it, and scarce one that did not look behind the glass also. It was a great amusement for us boys.
"He Did Admire that Knife"
We never had but one article stolen from us and that was under circumstances of peculiar temptation. My father had in those days a remarkable knife, with many blades, and including tools for several purposes. An Indian was overcome with temptation and stole it. When the Chief found out he directed four Indians to convey the thief to Father and make him give up the knife. The Indian keenly felt his disgrace, and was ashamed to confront my Father, so persuaded his captors to take him instead to Heman Oviatt in Hudson, where he gave up the knife. That Indian never made his appearance to us afterwards, nor did any of them take the least thing from us.
All went on well with them and us until a short time after the Declaration of War [for the War of 1812] in June 1812. One day Father observed that they did not go out hunting as usual, and soon saw all the adult Indians assembling near the outlet of the Lake, and evidently holding a council. This discovery was at once supposed to be concerning the War, which we had imagined they were ignorant of; but they were not; and I will state how they acquired their knowledge....

SQL Server 2008 introduced Powershell into the database with a new mini-shell for SQL Server.... so what?
If you are like me, you've gathered along your career path a host of techniques, methods and scripts that have provided a trusty and faithful toolbelt for solving problems and carrying out everyday tasks. So when SQL Server 2008 included this feature it probably wasn't your top priority to learn and find out about, in fact it might not have even made the list!!
This presentation will give show how useful Powershell can be for DBAs and developers and show how easy it can be to use. Maybe it's time to update those old tricks??
SQL Bits was started by a group of individuals that are passionate about the SQL Server product suite.
There is a breadth of knowledge in the SQL Community that will benefit everyone in the community.
We want to spread that knowledge.

It's Science Uncovered time again beetlers! We can't wait to show off our beetles to the thousands of you who will be visiting the Natural History Museum on the night. We'll be revealing specimens from our scientific collections hitherto never seen by the public before! Well, maybe on Monday at the TEDx event at the Royal Albert Hall we did reveal a few treasures, including specimens collected by Sir Joseph Banks and Charles Darwin, as seen below.
Lucia talking to the audience of TEDx ALbertopolis on Monday 23rd September.
Lydia and Beulah spanning 250 years of Museum collections at TEDx Albertopolis.
Last year we met with about 8,500 of YOU – so that's 8,500 more people that now love beetles, right? So, as converts, you may be coming back to see and learn some more about this most speciose and diverse of organisms or you may be a Science Uncovered virgin and no doubt will be heading straight to the beetles (found in the DCII Cocoon Atrium at the Forests Station).
This year the Coleoptera team will be displaying a variety of specimens, from the weird and wonderful to the beetles we simply cannot live without! Here's what the team will be up to...
Max Barclay, Collections Manager and TEDx speaker
For Science Uncovered I will be talking about the diversity of beetles in the tropical forests of the world. I have spent almost a year of my life in field camps in various countries and continents, and have generally come back with thousands of specimens, including new species, for the collections of the Natural History Museum. I will explain how we preserve and mount specimens, and how collections we make today differ from those made by previous generations.
Crocker Range, Borneo - it's really hard work in the field...but, co-ordinating one's chair with one's butterfly net adds a certian sophistication.
The Museum encourages its staff to be respectful of and fully integrate with local cultures whilst on fieldwork. Here is Max demonstrating seemless cultural awareness by wearing a Llama print sweater in Peru.
I will also talk about the Cetoniine flower chafers collected and described by Alfred Russell Wallace in the Malay Archipelago, and how we recognise Wallace's material from other contemporary specimens, as well as the similarities and differences between techniques used and the chafers collected in Borneo by Wallace in the 1860s, Bryant in the 1910s, and expeditions of ourselves and our colleagues in the 2000s.
Lydia Smith and Lucia Chmurova, Specimen Mounters and trainee acrobats
As part of the forest section at Science Uncovered this year we are going to have a table centred on the diversity of life that you may see and hear in tropical forests. Scientists at the Natural History Museum are regularly venturing out to remote locations around the world in search of new specimens for its ever expanding collection.

Maliau Basin, Borneo: Lucia injects some colour into an otherwise pedestrian flight interception trap
We will be displaying some of the traps used to catch insects (and most importantly beetles!) along with showing some specimens recently collected. We will also have a sound game where you can try your luck at guessing what noises go with what forest creatures. Good luck and we look forward to seeing you!
Hitoshi Takano, Scientific Associate and Museum Cricketer
Honey badgers, warthogs and Toto - yes, it can only be Africa! This year at Science Uncovered, I will be talking about the wondrous beetles of the African forests and showcasing some of the specimens collected on my recent fieldtrips as well as historic specimens collected on some of the greatest African expeditions led by explorers such as David Livingstone and Henry Morton Stanley.
Museum cricket team, The Archetypes (yes, really!). Hitoshi walking off, centre field, triumphant! Far right, Tom Simpson, Cricket Captain and one of the excellent team organising Science Uncovered for us this year.
Mount Hanang, Tanzania: Jungle fever is a common problem amongst NHM staff. Prolonged amounts of time in isolated forest environments can lead to peculiar behaviour and an inability to socialise...but don't worry, he'll be fine on the night...
There are more dung beetle species in Africa than anywhere else in the world - find out why, how I collect them and come and look at some of the new species that have been discovered in the past few years!!
Beulah Garner, Curator and part-time Anneka Rice body double
Not only do I curate adult beetles, I also look after the grubs! Yes, that's right, for the first time ever we will be revealing some of the secrets of the beetle larvae collection. I can't promise it will be pretty but it will be interesting! I'll be talkng about beetle life cycles and the importance of beetles in forest ecosystems. One of the reasons why beetles are amongst the most successful organisms on the planet is because of their ability to inhabit more than one habitat in the course of their life cycles.
Crocker Range, Borneo: fieldwork is often carried out on very tight budgets, food was scarce; ate deep fried Cicada to stay alive...
Nourages Research Station, French Guiana: museum scientists are often deposited in inacessible habitats by request from the Queen; not all breaks for freedom are successful.
On display will be some horrors of the collection and the opportunity to perhaps discuss and sample what it will be like to live in a future where beetle larvae have become a staple food source (or entomophagy if you want to be precise about it)...go on, I dare you!
Chris Lyal, Coleoptera Researcher specialising in Weevils (Curculionidae) and champion games master
With the world in the throes of a biodiversity crisis, and the sixth extinction going on, Nations have agreed a Strategic Plan for Biodiversity. The first target is to increase understanding of biodiversity and steps we can take to conserve it and use it sustainably. That puts the responsibility for increasing this understanding fairly and squarely on people like us. Now, some scientists give lectures, illustrated with complex and rigorously-constructed graphs and diagrams. Others set out physical evidence on tables, expounding with great authority on the details of the natural world. Us – we're going to play games.
Ecosystem collapse! (partially collapsed).
Thrill to Ecosystem Collapse! and try to predict when the complex structure will fall apart as one after another species is consigned to oblivion. Guess why the brazil nut tree is dependent on the bucket orchid! Try your luck at the Survival? game and see if you make it to species survival or go extinct. Match the threatened species in Domino Effect! Snakes and ladders as you've not played it before! For the more intellectual, there's a trophic level card game (assuming we can understand the rules in time). All of this coupled with the chance to discuss some of the major issues facing the natural world (and us humans) with Museum staff and each other.
Here Chris tells us a joke:
'Why did the entomologists choose the rice weevil over the acorn weevil?'
'It was the lesser of two weevils'
Joana Cristovao, Chris's student and assistant games mistress!
Big Nature Day at the Museum: Joana with a... what's this? This is no beetle!
One last thought, things can get a bit out of hand late at night in the Museum, it's not just the scientists that like to come out and play once a year, it's the dinosaurs too...
We look forward to meeting you all on the night!

DEARBORN, Mich. — Fred Thompson stayed on script.
The newcomer to the Republican presidential field didn't stand out in his first debate of the 2008 race, but he didn't blow it either.
An intense spat between GOP rivals Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani over taxes and spending took some of the focus — and the heat — off Thompson and overshadowed the other six Republicans on stage; Thompson was literally stuck between the two as they sparred.
"I've enjoyed watching these fellows. I gotta admit it was getting a little boring without me, but I'm glad to be here now," Thompson said — and by the end of the two hours, it showed.
Analyst: Thompson's 'fine performance'
The debate — sponsored by CNBC and MSNBC — was an important test of Thompson's maturity as a candidate, and he largely held his own.
A late entry to the race who has stumbled, Thompson was looking to counter the perception that he's unprepared to be president.
"He had a fine performance," said Sara Taylor, a former political adviser to President Bush who is neutral in the 2008 race. "He certainly passed the test of can he stand on the stage with these guys and articulate his views."
Over the past month, Thompson has struggled to answer questions on a range of topics, from the Terri Schiavo right-to-life case to oil drilling in the Everglades. By many accounts, he has turned in an underwhelming campaign performance with a rambling, low-energy stump speech devoid of specifics.
But none of the gaffes that have marred his first month as a full-fledged candidate surfaced. He was wrong at one point, pegging the Democratic-controlled Congress' job approval rating at 11 percent. It's actually at 22 percent, according to a recent Associated Press-Ipsos poll.
And, while Thompson pointed out that he belonged to the Screen Actors Guild, he missed the opportunity to say that Ronald Reagan was in the same union. In fact, Reagan served as SAG president from 1947-1952 and 1959-1960.
Good-natured ribbing
Thompson did, however, good-naturedly handle the ribbing he took for waiting until the sixth major Republican debate of the year to participate.
Other political news of note
Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
House Speaker John Boehner became animated Tuesday over the proposed Keystone Pipeline, castigating the Obama administration for not having approved the project yet.
- Budget deficits shrinking but set to grow after 2015
- Senate readies another volley on unemployment aid
- Obama faces Syria standstill
- Fluke files to run in California
- Animated Boehner: 'There's nothing complex about the Keystone Pipeline!'
"This is a lot like 'Law & Order,' senator. It has a huge cast, the series seems to go on forever, and Fred Thompson shows up at the end," Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, quipped to laughter.
Thompson nodded and smiled — then shot back slyly: "Not bad, not bad. And to think I thought I was going to be the best actor on the stage!"
The veteran actor of "Law & Order" fame is no stranger to the small screen, and he went to great lengths to get ready for his performance with two weeks of mock debates and timed preparation sessions.
After stammering a bit as he answered his first question on the economy, Thompson clearly got more comfortable. He looked repeatedly at what appeared to be notes on his podium as he spoke — but less so as the debate continued. At some points, he even engaged in a few extemporaneous and light-hearted exchanges with his rivals.
Light on substance, specifics
Thompson was, however, light on substance and specifics as he fielded questions.
He stuck to broad statements of what's wrong with the country and railed against big government but offered little in the way of how to fix the problems — much as he does during campaign appearances.
"Thompson cleared a hurdle today by showing he can rough-and-tumble with the best of them," said Greg Mueller, a Republican strategist and veteran of presidential campaigns who is unaligned in this race.
However, he said: "The campaign is entering a policy and solutions phase that the Thompson campaign will have to catch up with in terms of putting forward ideas that will give people more hope, offering a bit more shining city on hill posture."
With voting beginning in just three months, Thompson has little time to do it.

Find one of those cheap used hollow birch doors, take apart and you'll have 2 good pieces of 3mm ply. Glass stringers in the middle, does change the flex pattern of the board when Sandwiched in between the 2 pieces of Ply, remember the plywood grains are at 180 deg from each other.
Hell if your using epoxy to glue the ply together, mite as well throw some glass in.
In the past The very few boards I have broke were ones that had large voids of glue, so now I screw middle half way and outside, I also get a shit load of more excess epoxy out.
Go THIN use some glass in the middle, it add another layer in the mix, if to much flex put some glass on top.

It's the 1960s, and swinging bachelor Bernard couldn't be happier: a flat in Paris and three gorgeous stewardesses all engaged to him without knowing about each other. But Bernard's perfect life gets bumpy when his friend Robert comes to stay and a new and speedier Boeing jet throws off all of his careful planning. Soon all three stewardesses are in town simultaneously, timid Robert is forgetting which lies to tell to whom, and catastrophe looms. A riotous farce that recently enjoyed hit revivals in London and New York, Boeing Boeing is now set to arrive in Jet City—fasten your seat belts!
- Contains sexually suggestive content.
- Run time is 2 hours 20 minutes with one intermission.

Icy conditions remained as area residents awoke Wednesday morning, but Onslow County appeared to fare well as the worst of the latest winter storm moved through Eastern North Carolina.
Icy conditions remained as area residents awoke Wednesday morning, but Onslow County appeared to fare well as the worst of the latest winter storm moved through Eastern North Carolina.
�For the most part, we did pretty good,� said Onslow County Emergency Services Director Norman Bryson.
Temperatures gradually rose above freezing Wednesday and helped to begin melting the sleet and snow that had accumulated through the course of the day Tuesday, but the storm remained one to watch and emergency responders continued to urge caution when traveling.
In both Onslow and Carteret counties, the storm�s main impact was travel on the area�s roadways.
There were a number of motorists sliding off roads and some collisions, but the emergency services offices had not received reports of serious injuries. Bryson and other emergency responders said the decision of businesses and others to close early reduced the traffic on the roads, particularly overnight.
�I think that helped,� he said.
The icy conditions developed Tuesday as a winter storm brought a mix of wintry precipitation to Eastern North Carolina.
In Onslow County, the precipitation that fell varied widely, from 7 to 8 inches of snow in the Richlands area to the sleet and freezing rain in the more coastal locations.
Carteret County saw mainly sleet and freezing rain.
Carteret County Emergency Services Deputy Director Jo Ann Spencer said the icy conditions remained Wednesday morning, particularly around bridges in the eastern part of the county, but were expected to improve as temperature rose above freezing.
Meteorologist Lara Pagano of the National Weather Service office in Newport said that the rain from Wednesday would continue into this morning. The chance of rain continues today with a chance of some snow mixed in, but no accumulation is expected.
The Friday forecast calls for sunshine and temperatures in the 50s. The warmer temperatures will remain over the weekend, but more rain is expected.
A winter storm warning in effect for most of Eastern North Carolina was to end late Wednesday afternoon for Onslow County.
But with Wednesday�s rainfall and the melting snow, flooding was an issue to watch in the area.
Utility companies kept crews on call Wednesday, but power outages were few across the area.
Jones-Onslow Electric Membership Corporation responded to a few scattered power outages Tuesday afternoon and night in the North Topsail Beach, Sneads Ferry and Surf City due to the weather; and power was restored to all the customers quickly.
The first outage was reported around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in North Topsail Beach around Villa Capriani affecting about 1,100 members followed by one affecting 29 customers on the mainland of Surf City. A third one Tuesday evening involved a dozen members in the Sneads Ferry area.
In each case, power was restored within about an hour.
A small outage involving four customers near the back gate of Camp Lejeune was reported just after 10 a.m. Wednesday.
Duke Energy Progress was responding to a number of outages around Eastern North Carolina Wednesday due to the build-up of ice on power lines and on tree branches that break and fall onto lines.
�We�re seeing a large number of outages in Eastern North Carolina,� spokeswoman Jennifer Jabon said.
She said the Wilmington area was a particular problem with as many as 4,500 customers without power Wednesday afternoon.
As of about 2:30 p.m., there were 1,400 customers without power in Onslow County. While Jabon didn�t have outages in specific communities, the company�s outage map showed outages in Holly Ridge area and a few customers in the Belgrade-Swansboro Road area.
While not showing on the map, there were also reports of outages in the Richlands area.

Mattoon (Ill.) High School, which counts editor emeritus Will Leitch as a notable alumnus, won its game against Rantoul yesterday off a last-second inbounds pass in a tie game. The Jared Pilson pass was so on-the-mark, Ryan Hutchinson's placement so perfect, that the Green Wave bench started to erupt before the shot even left his fingertips.
Take note of the beaten-down reaction of the Rantoul team. This isn't your garden-variety disappointment. The Eagles are in a holiday tournament that apparently requires them to play two games a day. This was their second buzzer-beater loss of the afternoon.

Great article on a topic that has been plaguing my conscience as of late. I actually just ran across Dean Edwards' javascript method last week, but have yet to try it out. A quick question for any of you that have had experience with this method:
When this method effectively up-versions IE6 to IE7, if IE7 is not minding its manners to begin with (while being worlds better than IE6, IE7 is still rather imperfect itself), do you still have to make an ie6.css to fix the IE6 inconsistencies, or is there a way to get IE6 to read and implement your ie7.css fixes as well?

Karuizawa "Rouge Cask" Series
Post by Stefan of Tokyo Whisky Hub.
Today, I would like to introduce a series of Karuizawa releases that is not very well-known abroad (thankfully, maybe) but that I am really fond of: the Karuizawa "Rouge Cask" series. The single casks that constitute this series all come from the 1995 vintage and, as you may have guessed, they were ex-red wine casks. It's important to understand that these whiskies spent their entire period of maturation in these ex-wine casks, so they were not "finished", "ACEd" or what-have-you. The quality is incredibly high (some of my all-time favourite Karuizawas are part of this series) and they were equally incredibly cheap, a situation that we're not likely to witness anymore, I'm afraid.
Before I give you some more specific details of the bottles in this series, a word of caution: it would be extremely difficult for a collector not based in Japan to get hold of the complete series–even when you are based in Japan, it's well-nigh impossible, you can take my word for it. The main reason for this is that these bottlings were not aimed at the whisky afficionado/collector, but at the accidental tourist. They were available at the distillery shop only and aimed at the kind of person who wouldn't dream of shelling out 10,000 yen for a bottle of "domestic whisky" (that's 99.9% of the population) but with an interest in trying something that they had probably never seen before: a whisky matured in wine casks. They actually looked like wine bottles and I almost missed them the first time I was there. I always suspected this was to trick people into buying something they thought was wine (of which there was plenty in the distillery shop), only to find out when they were home that they had actually bought whisky. The distillery people were probably confident enough (and rightfully so, I would say) that people would have been pleasantly surprised. Anyway, these bottles were very modestly priced as I mentioned before (4,000 yen for a bottle!), and so they were the perfect "omiyage" (souvenir) - to take back home for yourself or for friends / family - for those visiting the museum adjacent the distillery and for tourists, newly-weds, shopaholics and other people with a good reason or a good excuse to escape the hustle and bustle of the capital for a few days. Most of these bottles would have been opened and drunk not long after they were purchased. Another reason why it's hard to get hold of them now is that they were bottled in small batches. I remember asking the distillery staff about this, and they said they would bottle a hundred or so and wait for those to sell out before bottling some more. That's also the reason why you can find bottles drawn from the same cask but with a different bottling date.
As far as I know, nine casks were bottled between 2007 and 2011, just before the Karuizawa stock was bought up by Number One Drinks. The details (from left to right: age, cask number, bottling date(s) and abv) are as follows:
12yo [#5012] 15.06.2007 (63%)
13yo [#5021] 04.06.2008, 08.08.2008, 20.10.2008 (63%)
14yo [#5031] 17.09.2009 (66.2%)
14yo [#5036] 03.02.2010, 03.03.2010 (67.4%)
15yo [#5034] 14.07.2010 (66.7%)
15yo [#5028] 19.08.2010 (67.0%)
15yo [#5018] 16.12.2010 (68.7%)
15yo [#5027] 26.05.2011 (69.4%)
16yo [#5022] 12.07.2011 (69.7%)
The 12- and 13-year old were bottled at 500ml; afterwards, they switched to 480ml (that way they didn't have to fill the bottles all the way up to the top). They were sealed with the black wax people will be familiar with from the standard, original Karuizawa single cask bottlings. The 12-year old, however, is a bit special as that was sealed with red wax. Don't ask me why. This wax, incidentally, is a collector's nightmare - regardless of the colour. Sooner or later, the wax will break and your bottle will be open whether you like it or not. (This actually happened to my 13yo Rouge Cask bottle a few weeks ago - the only one I had... You can imagine I wasn't very pleasant company that evening.)
Some ex-red wine casks from this vintage (if you see cask number #50** you know what you've got!) have also been bottled by Number One Drinks (some "Noh" casks, some bottlings for private customers...) but they're in a different price range, as you can imagine.
When I see those slim, sexy Rouge Casks Karuizawas now - those rare beauties - I think of a time not so long ago, when people still had the chance to discover something absolutely stunning by accident, available (also in terms of price) to everyone and anyone willing to take a chance on something... willing to be seduced on the spot... and it makes me a little sad that it is just so much harder to have that experience now... The latest Karuizawa single cask release (over 400 bottles for TWE) sold out in less than 24 hours... but it's already back in Japan, on auction sites, for double the price. A sad state of affairs, if you ask me. Call me a romantic, but I do hope that somewhere in Japan, there is still a place - somewhere - where Karuizawa whisky is just waiting for people to fall in love with it... where neither the highest-bidder nor the fastest-clicker can get to it... where only serendipity can lead people to it.

The Magic will certainly disagree, but Melbourne Vixens defender Julie Corletto believes it is only fair that her side win the transtasman league title tomorrow.
While the Magic will argue New Zealand is long overdue an ANZ Championship crown, Corletto's convictions are based more on achieving parity on the domestic front.
Corletto's husband Daryl was a key member of the NZ Breakers' defence of their Aussie NBL title this year, after being controversially axed from the Melbourne Tigers in the preseason, and the Australian defender is determined to match the achievements of her partner.
"My husband got a premiership this year with the Breakers, so in this household it is only fair that I get one as well, surely," Corletto said with a laugh. "So far, touch wood, I have followed in his footsteps - we both finished at the top of the ladder. And hopefully on Sunday we can put the icing on the cake."
But Corletto was very close to not being a part of the Vixens campaign at all this year.
With her husband based in New Zealand during the seven-month 2011/2012 ANBL season, Corletto sought a release from her contract with the Melbourne franchise. There were rumours too of an apparent rift between Corletto and coach Julie Hoornweg.
The Vixens management put their foot down, however, and prevented the Australian international from playing elsewhere.
Corletto said she was pleased she eventually stuck around in Melbourne this year, but with Daryl signed on for another season at the Breakers she is not so sure she'll do the same next season. She has already been linked with the Northern Mystics, but said she has yet to hold talks with other franchises.
"It's obviously been a really successful year and I'm pretty happy with the way it's gone," she said.
"I'm not exactly sure what I'll be doing next year. I've kind of forgotten about that and put it over to my manager to deal with and I'll be catching up with him to talk about that after Sunday."

9th April 2017
Pepsi may have missed the mark, but some brands are successfully tapping into the zeitgeist.
Grayling's #7for17 analysis of the major trends to look out for in 2017 includes 'The Uncertainty Factor'. The premise of this trend is that in a time of political uncertainty, people look to business, and business leaders, to provide direction. We are currently seeing this play out in a number of areas, with some companies taking a principled stand, and others – one in particular – misjudging the public mood and getting it spectacularly wrong.
Let's deal with Pepsi first, shall we? So much has already been said about the brand's now infamous commercial that there is little more to add. Commentators have rightly wondered how something so expensive, that would have been through so many layers of approval before it made it to air, actually did make it to air. A lack of diversity in the corporate world is surely one factor, as is the separation of advertising and public relations (had any sane PR person been involved in the development process, they would surely have rolled their eyes and killed the ad at the concept stage). But whatever happened, it was a spectacular own goal, and the folks at Pepsi will no doubt be chastened by the experience, wondering how an attempt to tap into the zeitgeist went so badly awry.
My colleague, Danica Ross has suggested that some corporations need a 'chief cynical officer'. But the problem with the Pepsi ad wasn't that people now are cynical, or more cynical than they used to be, but that the brand mis-judged the public mood, and failed to capitalize on The Uncertainty Factor.
At the other end of the spectrum, however, there are companies that are not only in touch with the mood, but are exercising the power of their marketing budgets in an attempt to make a difference.
Money Talks
It has been widely reported that Fox News has reputedly paid out in excess of $13m in 'hush money' to women who have accused host, Bill O'Reilly of sexual misconduct.
O'Reilly has been the undisputed star of the network for more than 20 years, with his show, The O'Reilly Factor, a major draw. The advertising revenue that goes with that is considerable - $119m in the first nine months of 2016 alone, according to ABC - and the high-ups at Fox clearly made the judgment that it was better to shell out to make their 'O'Reilly problem' go away than to discipline their golden goose and risk losing him to a rival network, or be subject to lengthy, expensive and high profile law suits.
It is worth saying at this point that no case against O'Reilly has been proven. But $13m is $13m. And this week Fox's problem got a whole lot bigger than that.
It was only very recently that Fox was among the media outlets reporting on brands pulling advertising from YouTube, due to Google's apparent inability to stop ads appearing alongside repugnant content. PepsiCo, Wal-Mart Stores and Starbucks joined AT&T, Verizon, Johnson & Johnson, Volkswagen and several other companies in boycotting the platform until Google was able to rectify the issue. But Fox now finds itself the subject of a similar boycott. A growing number of brands have pulled their ads from The O'Reilly Factor, resulting in a loss of revenue that is likely to far exceed that $13m.
Why? Because of this…
After the Women's March: six mass U.S. demonstrations to join this spring https://t.co/SXRRdizx7w #TheResistance pic.twitter.com/pvWYkvyJ0R— April Spivey (@a35362) April 9, 2017
The women's movement in America is arguably stronger today than at any time in history, and these consumers have considerable spending power. Just as brands do not want to be juxtaposed with unsavoury images on YouTube, neither, it seems, do they want to be associated with Bill O'Reilly.
What started out as a couple of advertisers walking away has turned into a flood, spurred on by pressure applied via social media.
CONFIRMED: Boom! @XFINITY will no longer be advertising on The O'Reilly Factor! Big day! https://t.co/ljoDOn8QYv— Sleeping Giants (@slpng_giants) April 9, 2017
Anyone watching The O'Reilly Factor in recent days will barely have had time to go to the bathroom during the commercial break, there are so few companies still advertising during the show.
And this isn't just a case of brands withdrawing their ad spend and staying silent. Most are vocal in saying why, including:
The list goes on. CNN has helpfully compiled all advertisers' comments here.
It's a fascinating stand-off between the network and the brands. What is the tipping point for Fox News? Two advertisers remaining? One? None? Or do they figure they can ride it out, and that O'Reilly's huge audience (which so far is showing no signs of abandoning him) will eventually override brands' concerns about the host's alleged misconduct? If I had to guess, I would say that while a few brands might slink back, Fox will have to give some ground, and while firing O'Reilly would be difficult when they have apparently been covering up his behaviour for so long, some kind of apology and commitment to better practice in the future might be in the offing. That would give those brands that wanted to, the license to return, but would not satisfy those who are after a scalp.
When Grayling first articulated The Uncertainty Factor, the conventional wisdom was that Hillary Clinton would be the 45th President of the USA. The uncertainty that came with Trump's election has only served to make this trend more relevant: more uncertainty, and more of an opportunity for brands, corporations and their leaders to fill the void. But as Pepsi found, it has to be authentic, or the potential for damage is huge.

Bengals cornerback Adam 'Pacman' Jones arrested overnight
Jones charged with misdemeanor assault
Jones charged with misdemeanor assault
Bengals cornerback Adam Jones is in jail on charges of misdemeanor assault, disorderly conduct, obstructing official business and harassment with a bodily substance, jail records show.
Jones was admitted to jail at 12:25 a.m. Tuesday after his arrest at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on W. 5th Street in Cincinnati. He is scheduled to be arraigned in court at 9 a.m. Tuesday.
Jones, 33, is accused of beating on the door while yelling and cursing, pushing and poking someone in the eye and resisting arrest. He was also accused of spitting at a jail staffer while he was being processed.
Jones was accused of assault in 2013 but found not guilty.
In 2015, he made headlines again when he was asked to leave the Hollywood Casino in Lawrenceburg, Ind. after police said he was acting "disorderly." He was never charged.
And in 2007, Jones was accused of starting a brawl at a Las Vegas strip club by throwing money at dancers. Two people were shot in the brawl, and though Jones was not the gunman, the victims successfully sued him for $12.5 million for his alleged role.
Jones was drafted into the NFL in 2005 by the Titans and has been with the Cincinnati Bengals since 2010.

In his prepared remarks at the Harvard School of Public Health, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said nothing about the impact of short-week football upon the league's unprecedented push for safety.
The topic came up in the post-speech question-and-answer session.
"We have to look at the data and see if there's a higher frequency of injuries," Goodell said regarding Thursday games, via Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe. "We have not seen that. If we did, we would certainly evaluate that.
"[The players], actually, in most cases, like the Thursday night game. They don't practice much the week of the game, and they get 10 days off after that. They enjoy that aspect of it. The reaction, while always mixed, right now has been quite positive from a players' standpoint."
While the thumbs ups may exceed the thumbs down, one very influential player previously has given the approach two thumbs way down.
"You have to ask yourself a real question when you schedule games like this: Who does it help? Because it doesn't help the players," Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis said in 2010. "That turnaround is just too quick. You go from playing a physical game on Sunday and you have less than four days before you have to physically get back up again. It takes a week for guys to really heal. . . . I don't know when they put it in but I've never liked it."
Since the most recent CBA, at which time the players had a chance to scuttle Thursday night football completely, short week games have grown, with every team now playing once per year a game on a Sunday followed by a game on a Thursday. And while that make it fair from a competitive standpoint, it doesn't make it right.
That said, the Cowboys and Lions have been playing one annual short-week game every year for decades. And there have been few complaints about it.
Moving forward, the players can complain all they want. With the current labor deal lasting until 2021, it's highly unlikely that anything will change any time soon.

HTML files can contain tags that are executed on the server. In addition to supporting the standard server-side tags, Web Server allows you to embed servlets and define your own server-side tags.
This chapter has the following sections:
The server parses server-side tags only if server-side parsing has been enabled. The following procedure describes how to enable server-side parsing using the Administration interface.
Login to Admin Console
Access the Edit Virtual Server , and click the Content Handling tab.
Click the General tab in the Content Handling screen.
Select the options to enable the server-parsed HTML and with exec tag.
In the parsed files drop-down list, select a resource for which the server will parse HTML.
Choose the virtual server or a specific directory within the virtual server. If you choose a directory, the server will parse HTML only when the server receives a URL for that directory or any file in that directory.
Choose the files to parse.
Files with the extension .shtml. The server parses only files with the extension .shtml. This option is the most common (and default) choice.
Files with the execute bit and the extension .html. (Unix and Linux only) The server parses files whose UNIX and Linux permissions specify that the execute bit is on. Using the execute permissions can be unreliable because in some cases the bit is set on files that are not executable.
All HTML files. The server parses all HTML files. Choosing this option can slow server performance.
Click Save.
Add the following directives are added to the magnus.conf file. Set NativeThread="no" for Web Server.
In addition, these functions now originate from Shtml.dll (or libShtml.so on UNIX), which is located in install_dirC:\Program Files\Sun\WebServer7 for Windows, and install_dir/sun/webserver7 for UNIX.
To enable parsing of server-side tags for files with extensions other than .shtml, add the extension to the appropriate line in the mime.types file.
For example, the following line in mime.types indicates that files with either a .shtml or .jbhtml extension are parsed for server-side tags:
type=magnus-internal/parsed-html exts=shtml,jbhtml
This section describes the HTML commands for including server-parsed tags in HTML files. These commands are embedded into HTML files, which are processed by the built-in SAF parse-html.
The server replaces each command with data determined by the command and its attributes.
<!--#command attribute1 attribute2 [Please define the ellipsis text entity] -->
The format for each attribute is a name-value pair such as:
Commands and attribute names should be in lower case.
The commands are hidden within HTML comments so they are ignored if not parsed by the server. The standard server-side commands are listed below, and described in this section:
The config command initializes the format for other commands.
The errmsg attribute defines a message sent to the client when an error occurs while parsing the file. This error is also logged in the error log file.
The timefmt attribute determines the format of the date for the flastmod command. It uses the same format characters as the util_strftime function. The default time format is: "%A, %d-%b-%y %T". For more information about time formats, see the Time Formats.
The sizefmt attribute determines the format of the file size for the fsize command. It can have one of these values:
<!--#config timefmt="%r %a %b %e, %Y" sizefmt="abbrev"-->
This example sets the date format to a value such as 10:45:35 AM Wed Apr 21, 2006, and the file size format to the number of KBytes or MBytes of characters used by the file.
The include command inserts a file into the parsed file. You can nest files by including another parsed file, which then includes another file, and so on. The client requesting the parsed document must also have access to the included file if your server uses access control for the directories in which they reside.
In Web Server, you can use the include command with the virtual attribute to include a CGI program file. You must also use an exec command to execute the CGI program.
The file attribute is a relative path name from the current directory. It cannot contain elements such as ../ and it cannot be an absolute path.
<!--#include file="bottle.gif"-->
The echo command inserts the value of an environment variable. The var attribute specifies the environment variable to insert. If the variable is not found, "(none)" is inserted. For a list of environment variables, see Environment Variables in Server-side HTML Commands.
<!--#echo var="DATE_GMT"-->
The fsize command sends the size of a file. The attributes are the same as those for the include command (virtual and file). The file size format is determined by the sizefmt attribute in the config command.
<!--#fsize file="bottle.gif"-->
The flastmod command prints the date a file was last modified. The attributes are the same as those for the include command (virtual and file). The date format is determined by the timefmt attribute in the config command.
<!--#flastmod file="bottle.gif"-->
The exec command runs a shell command or CGI program.
The cmd attribute (UNIX only) runs a command using /bin/sh. You may include any special environment variables in the command.
The cgi attribute runs a CGI program and includes its output in the parsed file.
<!--#exec cgi="workit.pl"-->
In addition to the standard set of environment variables used in CGI, you can include the following variables in your parsed commands:
DOCUMENT_URI — Virtual path to the parsed file, for example, /shtml/test.shtml
QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED — Unescaped version of any search query the client sent with all shell-special characters escaped with the slash character
DATE_GMT — Current date and time expressed in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)
Web Server supports the <servlet> tag. This tag enables you to embed servlet output in an .shtml file. No configuration changes are necessary to enable this behavior. If SSI and servlets are both enabled, the <servlet> tag is enabled.
The <servlet> tag syntax is slightly different from that of other SSI commands in that it resembles the <APPLET> tag syntax:
<servlet name= name code= code codebase= path iParam1= v1 iParam2= v2> <param name= param1 value= v3> <param name= param2 value= v4> . . </servlet>
If the servlet is part of a web application, the code parameter is required and other parameters are ignored. The code parameter must include:
The value of the url-pattern element defined in the web.xml file for the web application. For more information about web.xml, see the Java Servlet 2.4 specification (chapter SRV .13, "Deployment Descriptor"). You can find the specification at http://java.sun.com/products/servlet/download.html.
The value of the uri attribute defined in the web-apps.xml file for the web application.
For example, say you want to include the following servlet in your .shtml SHTML file:
<servlet name=pparams code="/PrintApp/PrintParams"> </servlet>
You need to include the following definition in your web-apps.xml file:
<web-app uri="/PrintApp" dir="/iws60/https-server.iplanet.com/acme.com/webapps/PrintApp"/>
You also need to include the following definition in your web.xml file:
<servlet> <servlet-name> pparams </servlet-name> <servlet-class> PrintPackage.PrintParams </servlet-class> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name> pparams </servlet-name> <url-pattern> /PrintParams </url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
You must also include any servlet initialization parameters in the web.xml file.
For legacy servlets, the code parameter specifies the .class file for the servlet and is required. The codebase parameter is required if the servlet is not defined in the servlets.properties file and the .class file is not in the same directory as the HTML file containing the <servlet> tag. Legacy servlets must be configured in the default virtual server and do not require a web.xml file.
In Web Server , you can define your own server-side tags. For example, you could define the tag HELLO to invoke a function that prints "Hello World!" You could have the following code in your hello.shtml file:
<html> <head> <title>shtml custom tag example</title> </head> <body> <!--#HELLO--> </body> </html>
When the browser displays this code, each occurrence of the HELLO tag calls the function.
Defining the Functions that Implement a Tag.
You must define the tag execution function. You must also define other functions that are called on tag loading and unloading and on page loading and unloading.
Write an initialization function that registers the tag using the shtml_add_tag function.
Loading a New Tag Into the Server.
These actions are described in the sections that follow.
Define the functions that implement the tags in C, using NSAPI.
Include the header shtml_public.h, which is in the directory install_dir/libinclude/shtml.
Link against the shtml shared library. On Windows, shtml.dll is in install_dir/lib On UNIX platforms, libShtml.so or .sl is in install_dir/lib
ShtmlTagExecuteFunc is the actual tag handler. It gets called with the usual NSAPI pblock, Session, and Request variables. In addition, it also gets passed the TagUserData created from the result of executing the tag loading and page loading functions (if defined) for that tag.
The signature for the tag execution function is:
typedef int (*ShtmlTagExecuteFunc)(pblock*, Session*, Request*, TagUserData, TagUserData);
Write the body of the tag execution function to generate the output to replace the tag in the .shtml page. Do this by using the net_write NSAPI function. This function writes a specified number of bytes to a specified socket from a specified buffer.
For more information about NSAPI plugins and functions, see the Sun Java System Web Server 7.0 Update 3 NSAPI Developer's Guide.
The tag execution function must return an int that indicates whether the server should proceed to the next instruction in obj.conf:
REQ_EXIT— The connection was lost
The other functions you must define for your tag are:
ShtmlTagInstanceLoad— Called when a page containing the tag is parsed. It is not called if the page is retrieved from the browser's cache. This function basically serves as a constructor, the result of which is cached and is passed into ShtmlTagExecuteFunc whenever the execution function is called.
ShtmlTagInstanceUnload— Gets passed the result that was originally returned from the ShtmlTagInstanceLoad function.
ShtmlTagPageLoadFunc— This is called when a page containing the tag is executed, regardless of whether the page is still in the browser's cache. This function enables you to make information persistent between occurrences of the same tag on the same page.
ShtmlTagPageUnLoadFn— Called after a page containing the tag has executed and gets passed the result returned from the ShtmlTagPageLoadFunc.
The signatures for these functions are:
#define TagUserData void* typedef TagUserData (*ShtmlTagInstanceLoad)( const char* tag, pblock*, const char*, size_t); typedef void (*ShtmlTagInstanceUnload)(TagUserData); typedef int (*ShtmlTagExecuteFunc)( pblock*, Session*, Request*, TagUserData, TagUserData); typedef TagUserData (*ShtmlTagPageLoadFunc)( pblock* pb, Session*, Request*); typedef void (*ShtmlTagPageUnLoadFunc)(TagUserData);
The following example implements the HELLO tag:
/* * mytag.c: NSAPI functions to implement #HELLO SSI calls * * */ #include "nsapi.h" #include "shtml/shtml_public.h" /* FUNCTION : mytag_con * * DESCRIPTION: ShtmlTagInstanceLoad function */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif TagUserData mytag_con(const char* tag, pblock* pb, const char* c1, size_t t1) { return NULL; } /* FUNCTION : mytag_des * * DESCRIPTION: ShtmlTagInstanceUnload */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif void mytag_des(TagUserData v1) { } /* FUNCTION : mytag_load * * DESCRIPTION: ShtmlTagPageLoadFunc */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif TagUserData mytag_load(pblock *pb, Session *sn, Request *rq) { return NULL; } /* FUNCTION : mytag_unload * * DESCRIPTION: ShtmlTagPageUnloadFunc */ # #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif void mytag_unload(TagUserData v2) { } /* FUNCTION : mytag * * DESCRIPTION: ShtmlTagExecuteFunc */ #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif int mytag(pblock* pb, Session* sn, Request* rq, TagUserData t1, TagUserData t2) { char* buf; int length; char* client; buf = (char *) MALLOC(100*sizeof(char)); length = util_sprintf(buf, "<h1>Hello World! </h1>", client); if (net_write(sn->csd, buf, length) == IO_ERROR) { FREE(buf); return REQ_ABORTED; } FREE(buf); return REQ_PROCEED; } /* FUNCTION : mytag_init * * DESCRIPTION: initialization function, calls shtml_add_tag() to * load new tag */ # #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" #endif int mytag_init(pblock* pb, Session* sn, Request* rq) { int retVal = 0; // NOTE: ALL arguments are required in the shtml_add_tag() function retVal = shtml_add_tag("HELLO", mytag_con, mytag_des, mytag, mytag_load, mytag_unload); return retVal; } /* end mytag.c */
To Reviewer: please review the above given code.
In the initialization function for the shared library that defines the new tag, register the tag using the function shtml_add_tag. The signature is:
NSAPI_PUBLIC int shtml_add_tag ( const char* tag, ShtmlTagInstanceLoad ctor, ShtmlTagInstanceUnload dtor, ShtmlTagExecuteFunc execFn, ShtmlTagPageLoadFunc pageLoadFn, ShtmlTagPageUnLoadFunc pageUnLoadFn);
Any of these arguments can return NULL except for tag and execFn.
After creating the shared library that defines the new tag, you load the library into Web Server by adding the following directives to the configuration file magnus.conf:
An Init directive whose fn parameter is load-modules and whose shlib parameter is the shared library to load.
For example, if you compiled your tag into the shared object install_dir /hello.so, would be:Init funcs="mytag,mytag_init" shlib="install_dir/hello.so" fn="load-modules"
An Init directive whose fn parameter is the initialization function in the shared library that uses shtml_add_tag to register the tag. For example:
Init fn="mytag_init"

The calendar says it's Friday – and the start of a long weekend! – so howzabout we fire up some open comments?
Here's the dang deal: You leave a comment about anything having to do with personal technology, and I'll approve it.
Others will read your words of wit and wisdom, and leave some of their own.
You come back later, see the responses, and respond yourself.
While you ponder your next move, consider this:
Earlier in the week, I wrote about the renewed controversy over the pronunciation of the word "GIF". Although reasonable people may disagree on how to say the word, everyone loves the creativity the file format has inspired.
In my blog post, I included a few of my favorite of animated GIFs. I bet you have some faves of your own. Why not share them?
Email me your favorite animated GIFs. I'll compile them for a photo gallery that I'll publish next week.
I look forward to seeing the GIFs you love the most. However, I suspect none of them can beat a cat dressed in a shark costume on a Roomba chasing a baby duck.

NEW BEDFORD — Attendees of a meeting regarding federal permitting of an offshore wind farm welcomed the potential development with open arms Tuesday night.
NEW BEDFORD — Attendees of a meeting regarding federal permitting of an offshore wind farm welcomed the potential development with open arms Tuesday night.
"Without offshore wind, New Bedford would not have the ability to retain our young people," Executive Director of the New Bedford Economic Development Council Matthew Morrissey said. "They are successful and full of promise and, without offshore wind, we do not have the jobs to keep them here."
Tuesday's meeting kicked off the comment period for the environmental assessment of what is known as the Massachusetts Wind Energy Area.
Located 13 nautical miles southwest of Nantucket, the Massachusetts Wind Energy Area extends 33 nautical miles north to south and 47 nautical miles east to west. It is the single largest wind energy area in the country being considered for development by the federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management.
The area is one of three with potential for offshore wind energy in Massachusetts waters, along with Nantucket Sound (to be used by Cape Wind) and the Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf area, shared with Rhode Island.
New Bedford has already begun planning for the development of offshore wind close to home, with the proposed South Terminal turbine staging area that officials hope will be used by Cape Wind.
The terminal is expected to bring in 200 construction jobs and 700 jobs associated with Cape Wind.
Attendees of Tuesday's meeting strongly supported the area's development, saying more wind projects off Massachusetts' coastline meant more economic benefits for an economically depressed city.
Theresa Romanovitch, dean of Bristol Community College's New Bedford campus, said offshore wind "gives our students more opportunities to build pathways to a career."
"These types of projects bring industries with a variety of jobs that can serve people with diverse interests who currently have no opportunities here," she said.
John "Buddy" Andrade, executive director of the Old Bedford Village Development Corp., agreed, saying more wind projects would allow New Bedford youths to develop "career paths, not just jobs."
Though the meeting was meant to discuss the project's potential environmental impacts, particularly on marine mammals such as the right whale, attendees largely shied away from the subject.
Miles Grant, communications manager for the National Wildlife Federation, touched briefly on the project's environmental impact, saying it is possible for offshore wind projects in the Atlantic Ocean to "be developed in a way that can benefit people and wildlife."
New Bedford Deputy Port Director Edward Anthes-Washburn also stated his support of the project and assured attendees that the wind and fishing industries could coexist in the city.

How to Deflate a FishYou've hauled in the fish from deep down. His eyes are bulging and his stomach is sticking out of his mouth. How can you get him back in the water to swim away? You can't unless you vent his swim bladder gases.
The swim bladder is an organ filled with gases, mostly oxygen and nitrogen. This organ is in the abdominal cavity along the backbone beneath the first dorsal fin. Except for sharks and rays most marine fishes have well-developed swim bladders. The swim bladder helps keep the fish buoyant at whatever depth they normally live.
When fish are at rest, the pressure of the gases in the swim bladder equals the pressure exerted by the surrounding water. The gases are compressed and the swim bladder occupies a relatively small space. If you bring a fish rapidly to the surface from down below 30', the outside pressure lessens and the gases in the swim bladder expand in direct proportion.
Say you catch a fish at a depth of 33 feet. By the time you get him to the surface the gases in his swim bladder will occupy twice their original volume. These bladders can only stretch so far before they burst. When they do, the gases escape into the fishes abdomen, where they continue to expand. This puts pressure on the stomach, the intestines and other internal organs. To return the fish safely, you must vent those gases.And you must do it without further injury to the fish. Don't try to force the stomach or other organs back into the body cavity. DO NOT vent the gases by puncturing the protruding stomach or going through the anus. The fish will probably swim away but won't live.
Most fish are hardy and can survive this trauma, if properly deflated, he will survive, get bigger and reproduce. Here is how you do it:
Use a deflating tool (an atheletic ball inflation needle ground to a sharp point or a carpet needle). Insert it through the thin part of the body wall on the underside of the belly below the pectoral fin. Squeeze the fish gently to force the gases out through the tube or needle. Do this quickly and very soon after capture Release the fish holding him in the water until he can swim away.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Kim Kardashian
- 1980
Kimberly, Paris...and O.J.
Defense attorney Robert Kardashian and wife Kris Houghton welcome their second child, Kimberly Noel, to their posh L.A. lifestyle. The growing brood already includes 1-year-old Kourtney and will add Khloé in 1984 and Robert Jr. in 1987. By pre-school, Kim is palling around with Paris Hilton, and by 1994, her father is in the media spotlight when he houses and later defends O.J. Simpson (right) following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
- 1990s
Dangerous Curves Ahead
After her parents' divorce – her mother remarries Olympian Bruce Jenner in 1991 – Kardashian hits puberty and is ashamed of her growing body. "I used to say my prayers before bed and pray I would stop developing," she tells Playboy. With time, Kardashian grows confidence in her curves: "I always laugh when it says on the Internet that I have fake boobs or butt implants or injected lips, because it's so not true."
- 2000
Kim's First Husband
Kardashian, 20, marries music producer Damon Thomas, 30, who works with the likes of Pink and Faith Evans. But death doesn't do them part, as Kardashian and Thomas endure a messy divorce in 2004. According to PEOPLE, Thomas calls Kardashian a "compulsive shopper."
- 2003
A Tragic Goodbye
Just eight weeks after learning he had esophagus cancer, Kardashian's father, Robert, dies at age 59. Kardashian, 22, speaks at her father's funeral, which she later says is "probably the hardest thing I've ever had to do in life."
- 2004
Stylist to the Stars
After singer Brandy appears on a worst-dressed list, Kardashian is hired as her personal stylist. The stint parlays into a full-time business for Kardashian as a stylist and personal shopper to stars like Lindsay Lohan. Around this time, she begins dating Brandy's brother, R&B singer Ray J. In 2006, business is booming and, with sisters Khloé and Kourtney, Kardashian opens Dash, a boutique in Calabasas, Calif.
- 2006
A 'Newlywed' Rebound
Six months after the breakup of his famous marriage to Jessica Simpson, singer, Nick Lachey, 32, is spotted with Kardashian, 25. PEOPLE reports that they were photographed on May 24 at an afternoon showing of The Da Vinci Code, where they held hands.
- 2007
Up Close & Personal
While rumors of a sex tape involving Kardashian and ex-boyfriend Ray J swirl, Kardashian denies any such tape exists. "There is no amount of money that could ever convince me to release any tape, even if I had one," she tells Complex. But the tape eventually surfaces on the Internet, and Kardashian sues Vivid Entertainment to suppress its distribution, saying, "It would humiliate me and ruin my family." By April, Kardashian settles with Vivid to distribute the tape.
The Family Business
Kardashian gets her own E! reality series, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which documents her career and family life, with sisters Khloé and Kourtney, momager Kris, and stepdad Bruce Jenner. "At the heart of this series – despite the cat fights and endless sarcasm – is a family that truly loves and supports one another," says Ryan Seacrest, executive producer of the series.
Playing the Field
Kardashian begins dating New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush. "I'm not really a sports girl," Kardashian tell the AP. "But I sit with all the wives and they know everything and I don't so they are teaching me, and I'm learning a lot about it, so I'm loving it." They split in July 2009, before reuniting after Khloé's wedding that September.
Kim Bares All for Playboy
Kardashian appears on the cover of Playboy – and bares all inside. "Of course you're nervous and want more time to work out. But I'm proud to show people who I am," she tells Men's Fitness about the shoot. "You always see the typical skinny models and I'm not that and I'm proud not to be that." In 2008, she inks a deal to be the latest face of Bongo Jeans.

MONTPELIER — Gov. James Douglas' legacy will be that of a very mobile, skilled politician who was able to maintain allegiance of the state's conservative voting block while deftly appealing to mainstream voters as well as fiscally conservative Democrats.
SHOREHAM — Students at Shoreham Elementary will be returning to school a little later than expected this year.
On Aug. 27, Addison County Supervisory Union (ACSU) officials announced the school will open on Sept. 14, almost two weeks later than the originally scheduled Sept. 2 opening. In a letter to Shoreham families, ACSU superintendent Lee Sease explained that the delay is due to the need to remove mold and asbestos in the school, discovered following a routine carpet cleaning in early July.
SHOREHAM — The Swinton sisters still remember the night in the early 1950s when a tugboat on Lake Champlain ran a barge aground on a sandbar, not far from the family's home in West Bridport.
It was late, and the tugboat's crew came over to the Swinton home to use the telephone — several times, as Peggy (Swinton) Clark, now 71, remembers it.
One thing led to another, and after several calls, the crew made plans to take their tug and head for Port Henry, N.Y., where the tugboat could make arrangements to have the stranded barge dislodged from the sandbar.
BRANDON — One new field and two new coaches were in place as the fall Otter Valley Union High School sports season kicked off last week.
That season opened Aug. 31 on Markowski Field when the OV boys' soccer team hosted Proctor on the newly rebuilt surface directly behind the school.
If political change is in the air following Gov. James Douglas' decision not to seek re-election, it would seem that the race for governor is the Democrats' to lose.
But lose they will if their agenda is seen by Vermonters as so liberal that the state simply cannot afford a party that seeks to expand government programs and will not be shy about raising taxes to pay for them.
Governor Jim Douglas announced Aug. 21 in Montpelier that he will not seek a fifth term in office.
I want to thank all of you for coming this morning.
I especially want to thank the members of my Administration for being here, as well as
my staff.
Since January 1973, after I was first elected to the Vermont House, I've been making the
trip over the Appalachian Gap from my home in Middlebury to serve the people in
Jim Douglas is doing what only one other governor has done in the last 47 years: He is leaving office from a position of strength.
Every governor since 1962 – except for Deane Davis – stayed at least one term too many. The only problem was that no one knew it was too many until it was over.
Phil Hoff's third and final term – he served 1963-1969 – was an absolute disaster, by his own admission. He was distracted by the national unrest and was exhausted by his first two terms.
MONTPELIER — In the wake of Thursday's announcement by Gov. Jim Douglas that he would not seek re-election, speculation has focused on the mix of candidates likely to compete for the gubernatorial post.
Longtime Vermont political observer Eric Davis, Middlebury College professor emeritus of political science, said Douglas's announcement was clearly timed "to give other candidates time to organize campaigns. The Democrats are out there already."

Defining Connections
|Introduction | Everyday Life | Connections Within Mathematics | Additional Connections | Your Journal
For many years, mathematics was thought of and taught as a series of isolated topics. Students in elementary and middle grades learned number concepts and skills, geometry concepts, and measurement skills. There was little discussion of the relationship among these topics, and little, if any, discussion of connections to the world outside the classroom, other than the contrived word problems usually found at the bottom of the textbook page! In high school, formal algebra, geometry, and statistics courses made up the mathematics curriculum -- usually as separate courses. In today's mathematics classroom, helping students see the connections among the content standards and how mathematics connects to their informal experiences enables us to introduce some mathematical ideas much earlier, and helps students develop a greater understanding of those ideas.
In this section, we will take a look at some aspects of connections that we can use in the early grades to help students gain a better understanding of mathematics.
