Pets need extra care during hot smummer months
Norman spends most of his time spread out on a couch in the air conditioning.
Jasper just got a new cooler, closer haircut.
Devil gets a light coat of sunscreen before she's out in the sun.
And Carolyn Belcke's 17 "babies" stay in the shade or inside, but aren't given a pool to splash around.
"I can't do the pool bit," Belcke said Tuesday. "Seventeen dogs rolling in one pool gets to be too much."
Whichever way it's done, animals need help staying cool in the summer, too.
Lauren Malmberg keeps Norman, her half Great Dane, half Irish Wolfhound, indoors most of the summer.
The PAWS animal shelter director knows Norman loves activity, but he doesn't get as much strenuous exercise in the warm summer months. She monitors Norman to make sure he doesn't overheat.
"He would run for days if you let him," she said.
Dogs can't cool their bodies in the heat, and Malmberg advised against jogging with dogs because of it.
Two dogs died in their own backyard on Father's Day weekend because of the heat, Malmberg said. They didn't get enough water or shade, which can lead to overheating and death.
PAWS typically gets a call a day reporting a pet locked in a car, Malmberg said. Even with windows open, car temperatures on a hot day can reach 160 degrees after only a few minutes, according to PAWS.
Signs a dog is overheating include heavy panting, extra hot skin, fur falling out in clumps, glazed eyes, lethargic behavior and little to no urine or feces output.
Short-nosed animals like pugs and Boston terriers quickly get overheated, said Gina Bickett, a veterinarian technician at Mount Hawley Animal Clinic. So animals should not be left outside unattended.
Some animal owners will pull out kiddie pools for pets to take a quick dip.
"They smell a little bit after that," Belcke said, but keeping pets cool is the key. "It doesn't take long for them to get overheated."
Deeper pools should be fenced off from the rest of the backyard to avoid dog visitors who don't know how to swim, a tip from the World Wide Pet Industry Association. For dogs swimming in rivers or lakes, be sure to limit water time since dogs get overexerted and can't always swim back to shore.
Bickett also said white animals are particularly susceptible to sun burn, so pets should be prepared or just stay out of the sun.
Devil, Bickett's white cat with gray spots on her head, gets a light coat of sunscreen on her ears.
But owners should ask vets before applying any kind of sunscreen, Malmberg said. They should also be consulted before shaving any animals, she added. Shaving a dog can make it more susceptible to sunburn and bug bites.
For Belcke, keeping her pups' fur trimmed is key to keeping them cool.
Her 17 Cocker Spaniels are groomed once a week, which is excessive for some breeds, but appropriate for these show dogs.
"If you're uncomfortable with the weather, think about your dog. They got a fur coat," she said.
Belcke owns Bell-keys Cockers and Kennels in Peoria. She's been boarding and raising small dogs for 27 years, and knows that depending on the dog breed, the longer the hair, the hotter the pup gets.
Some dogs with thicker, more wiry fur might have trouble growing their coat back evenly. But if the dog's fur is worn short all the time, it doesn't make much difference, said Terri Trainer, owner of The Clipp Joint on Farmington Road.
Trainer has 13 miniature Dachshunds and a Labradoodle. She was giving Jack, a 1½-year-old Goldendoodle, a buzz at her shop Tuesday morning, trimming his thick fur into a cooler summer 'do.
Even poodles aren't given "foo foo" cuts in the summer anymore, she said.
"It just really isn't a feasible thing," she said.

Stronger than expected GDP growth in the second quarter rising to 2.5%; great news, right?
Not so fast, according to PIMCO chief Mohamed El-Erian. Emerging-market woes will create (that dreaded word) headwinds for the U.S. economy.
"Longer term, we should care due to the feedback loop to the U.S.," El-Erian, chief executive and co-chief investment officer of the world's biggest manager of bond funds, said in a radio interview with Bloomberg Surveillance on Thursday. "You will see a tightening of financial conditions to markets. You will see growth more challenged and the ability of U.S. companies to get topline growth from emerging markets is going to be less going forward."
As the news service notes, global stocks, bonds and commodities have been whipsawed since May, when Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled the prospect of cuts to monetary stimulus should the U.S. economy and job market continue to improve. The Fed will probably pare its $85 billion a month in bond purchases at its Sept. 17-18 meeting, according to 65% of economists surveyed by Bloomberg Aug. 9-13.
For many emerging nations "capital is reversing, flowing out and putting these countries under tremendous pressure," El-Erian said. "There are certain countries that learned the lessons from the previous crisis and have self-insured tremendously. There are a second set of countries that maintained twin deficits, whose growth dynamics are low and have limited reserves. Turkey is an example of that, and there are others."

Malls are starting to be overrun with holiday shoppers, temperatures are dropping and congressional members will soon take a recess from fulfilling their civic duty of wearing power suits and hemorrhaging taxpayer dollars. Ah yes, all the signs of a coming winter are upon us.
Although the SEC may have hemorrhaged senior staff this year, its rules and regulations remain in full force and effect. For RIAs, this means that the end of the year should be a time to prepare for and tackle the annual regulatory requirements imposed upon them.
In this, the first in a two-part series, we'll look at how to conduct your RIA firm's 'annual review' and Form ADV requirements. In our next posting, we'll look at your privacy policy
Annual Review
All RIAs must "review, no less frequently than annually, the adequacy of [their] policies and procedures… and the effectiveness of their implementation." So says Rule 206(4)-7 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the rule which imposes what's more colloquially known as the "annual review" requirement.
According to the SEC's Compliance Rule release, a firm's annual review "should consider any compliance matters that arose during the previous year, any changes in the business activities of the adviser or its affiliates, and any changes in the Advisers Act or applicable regulations that might suggest a need to revise the policies or procedures." The review technically does not need to be documented in an official written report, but there should at least be voluminous documentation to support the fact that an annual review was actually conducted (such as working papers, compliance program testing results, and action items).
The annual review can summarize the testing of any number of policies and procedures of the firm, but the SEC will expect areas fraught with more risk or more conflicts of interest to garner more attention. A few specific documents that should also be reviewed no less frequently than annually include your policies and procedures manual, code of ethics, advisory agreement, business continuity and disaster recovery plan, risk assessment, and conflicts of interest assessment.
Importantly, evidence your review of these documents to demonstrate your oversight to regulators when they come to examine you.
Plan Ahead – Form ADV
Form ADV is arguably the most important regulatory document for a RIA, and it imposes a myriad of filing and client delivery requirements that become important shortly after a RIA's fiscal year end. Though complete instructions are provided by the SEC here and here, below is a summary of certain important takeaways:
- File your annual updating amendment to Form ADV using the IARD system within 90 days after the end of your fiscal year (generally by the end of March for RIAs using the calendar year for their fiscal year). At the same time, file your summary of material changes (if any) to Form ADV Part 2 (the "Brochure"), and file your then-current version of Form ADV Part 2.
- Filing your ADV Part 2B (the "Brochure Supplement") is optional.
- Within 120 days of the end of your fiscal year, deliver to each of your existing clients one of the following:
- A summary of material changes since your last annual updating amendment (including an offer to provide a free copy of the entire Brochure); or
- the entire Brochure, including a summary of material changes since your last annual updating amendment; or
- Only if you have not had any material changes since your last annual updating amendment: nothing.
- Delivering your Brochure Supplement to existing clients on an annual basis is not required.
- Don't forget to check state-specific requirements.
- Electronic delivery of documents is permitted subject to SEC interpretive guidance, which can be found here. Yes, the guidance is well over a decade old, but that's what we have to work with. In a nutshell, obtain positive consent from your client prior to delivering documents electronically.
- Interim delivery of your Brochure or Brochure Supplement may be required if there is a disclosable disciplinary event, the information contained in either document becomes materially inaccurate, or there is a fiduciary obligation to inform clients of material information that could affect the advisory relationship.

Now that the Federal Reserve and Chairman Ben Bernanke have made it clear that they have no plans to change their monetary policy anytime soon, bond market participants can go back to what they lately seem to do best: worrying and chasing yield.
Even PIMCO bond king Bill Gross is getting into the act. A month before the Fed's Wednesday announcement that it will keep stimulating the economy by leaving rates near zero and loading up the government's balance sheet with more debt, the PIMCO Total Return Fund cut its Treasury holdings to 28% in February from 30% in January, according to Reuters.
The PIMCO Total Return Fund "showed an increase in exposure to high-yield 'junk' credit to 3% in February from 2%. That is the first increase in high-yield credit in four months," reported the Reuters story, which also quoted Gross as acknowledging that both corporate credit and high-yield bonds "are somewhat exuberantly and irrationally priced."
In addition to leaving the fed funds target rate unchanged at near zero—no surprise—the Federal Open Market Committee members said they would keep buying $85 billion of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities every month "to support a stronger economic recovery." While the FOMC's goal is to achieve a sustained labor market recovery, the collateral damage from such a policy is single-digit yields even on higher-risk investments.
In other words, investors, get ready to keep on chasing yield for years to come.
"We continue to expect the Fed will maintain the current $85 billion per month purchase pace into next year, and will not start hiking interest rates until late 2015, at the earliest," wrote Bank of America-Merrill Lynch Senior U.S. Economist Michael Hanson after the FOMC announcement. "The FOMC explicitly noted 'more restrictive' fiscal policy [from Congress] and continued downside risks, and nudged their growth and inflation projections lower."
Opportunity in High-Quality Intermediate Bonds
But considering the current climate of frustratingly low yields in risky junk bonds and a moderately steep Treasury yield curve foreshadowing economic growth, where do the opportunities now lie for fixed-income investors?
In high-quality intermediate bonds, says LPL Financial Market Strategist Anthony Valeri.
"One of the brighter opportunities in the bond market for 2013, high-yield bonds, may be fading as the average yield of high-yield bonds declined to a new record low of 5.6% last week according to the Barclays Index data," writes Valeri in "Ride the Yield Curve," a March 19 bond market note. "In a low-yield world, bond investors have to look harder for investment opportunities, and riding the yield curve may provide an opportunity in high-quality bonds."
Among Morningstar's five-star-rated intermediate-term bond funds are PIMCO's Investment Grade Corporate Bond Fund (PBDDX), with a 10.10% three-year yield; BMO's TCH Corporate Income Fund (MCIYX), with a 9.11% three-year yield; and Managers Bond Fund (MGFIX), with an 8.92% three-year yield.
'Man Camps' and Munis in North Dakota
Another intermediate bond fund, this one in the world of municipal debt, the BMO Intermediate Tax-Free Fund (MITFX), has a 5.95% three-year return and a four-star Morningstar rating—and is an excellent example of how the better-managed tax-exempt funds dig deep into the arcane if not bizarre world of locally issued bonds.
Some of the fund's top picks include:
- Williston, N.D., Parks & Recreation sales tax revenue bonds, which offer a 4.5% coupon and a solid credit in a booming region thanks to increased energy exploration and the expendable income of "man camps" that pours into the community, said Duane McAllister, MITFX's co-portfolio manager, at a SunStar Strategic "undiscovered funds" breakfast on Tuesday in New York.
- San Mateo County, Calif., Community College District, an S&P AA-plus-rated zero coupon offering that may become even more valuable if California restricts future zero coupon issuance.
- Battery Park, N.Y., an AA-plus-rated variable-rate coupon in a state with high income tax rates and a coupon rate that resets weekly at 200% of one-month LIBOR
McAllister noted that BMO was "thinking every day" about the low-yield environment and what will happen to the bond market when rates inevitably start to rise.
"The problem that fixed-income investors face this year is that the bull market in bonds ended last year. We're as close to zero as we can get, but the bear market hasn't started yet," McAllister said. But considering the problems that low yields are creating for investors, he added, "Let's hope it's not the case that we're still in a zero-rate environment three years from now."

Afatech AF9015
A combination DVB-T demodulator and USB bridge chip from Afatech. This is the company's second generation COFDM demodulator, and is the successor to the AF900x family of chips. Given the chip's dual nature, the AF9015 is fairly complex. It is also very flexible, supporting a wide variety of device configurations (single USB, dual USB, Platform mode, PCI/PCIe based devices, and even SPI is supported by it with some tuners (such as for a Consumer Electronics product that runs Windows CE)). Documentation for the AF901x family can be obtained from AFA (under NDA), but it is apparently confusing, as well as incomplete -- as there are a lot of areas that are undocumented.
The AF901x family consists of the following chips:
- (list chips here ...or perhaps start a new article for the AF901x family, and leave this one dedicated to the AF9015)
Examples of DVB-T USB devices in which the AF9015 chip can be found include:
- Dongles with USB ID 15a4:9016 or 15a4:9015
- The WandTV (QT1010)
- The Elements High Definition DVB-T Receiver Model no DK-5203.
- A-Link DTU(m) (15a4:9016, MT2060)
- Fujitech (15a4:9016, MT2061)
- TubeStick (15a4:9015, for Mac)
- Geniatech T328B (15a4:9016, QT1010)
- BestBuy Easy TV USB Stick (MT2061)
- DENVER DVBT-2U (15a4:9016, MT2060(F))
- TerraTec Cinergy T USB XE Vers.2 [1] (0ccd:0069, Version 1 uses AF9005)
- Digitalnow TinyTwin
- Hama DVB-T USB2 Stick (15a4:9016, MT2060)
- MaxMedia 395U (1b80:e395), 397U (1b80:e397) & 399U (1b80:e399) these are sold under HiVision & K-World branding
- Leadtek USB Dongle Gold (0413:6029)
At present there are three different Linux drivers available for the AF901x. That may strike one as being strange or showing signs of a state of dis-coordination, but in actuality, each driver has its own reason for coming into existence. In addition, taken collectively, the development of three different drivers highlights the relative complexity of the chip, as well as the flexibility in device design that its employment permits.
Opensource Mercurial Repositories
The open source driver is now included in the linux kernel trunk since version 2.6.28. It should work out of the box !
- http://jusst.de/hg/af901x ... This is a second driver attempt for the AF901x by Manu Abrahams. In his personal assessment, he got many things right, but some things are still wrong. In addition, his driver works with just one particular device.
- http://linuxtv.org/hg/~anttip/af9015/ (Supported tuners are: MT2060, MT2061 and QT1010.) ... This is a driver written from scratch, first by reverse engineering and afterwards finalized from the reference kit, by Antti Palosaari, that is specific to the AF9015 chip alone, and for devices with a "MASTER based configuration".
- You might also need to fetch a firmware file from http://www.otit.fi/~crope/v4l-dvb/af9015/af9015_firmware_cutter/firmware_files/ before the driver works. The driver expects to find it in /lib/firmware/<kernel-version>/dvb-usb-af9015.fw
Vendor Released Driver (Last Up to date)
No external firmware needed !
- The modified Vendor released driver for current kernels (2.6.24+) is available from http://tombcore.free.fr/af9015.tar.bz2
Install linux headers, merge it with the last v4l-dvb source, then make, make install and enjoy.
- DKMS package for the driver available here : http://tombcore.free.fr/af9015.deb
- vl4-dvb + driver merged snapshot available here : http://tombcore.free.fr/af9015_150209.tar.bz2
(just make, make install and enjoy)
Full tutorial (french wiki) here : http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/af9015
Vendor Released Driver
- A vendor-written driver specific to the AF9015 chip alone is available from http://www.digittrade.de/shop/info/stick_treiber/linux/Linux_MT2060_2.6.20.tar . Apparently, AFA had this driver written (author Rick Huang?) specifically for a single device from one customer, who then in turn ended up violating the NDA.
In any regard, users have reported that this vendor driver is indeed working, including for x64_64 (for some further information see the threads here and here.
For devices based on the MT2060 tuner (such as the Geniatech T328B) you may need to patch the file MT2060M.h in the following way:
typedef unsigned long UData_t;
typedef unsigned int UData_t;
Then compile, install, modprobe dvb_usb_af9015 and you are finished.
Original Vendor-released driver
The above device driver probably originated from the code found at [2].
This original code has since been modified by somebody else (at afatech?) to use the MXL5005 tuner and the Digitalnow TinyTwin is partly functional.
A Comprehensive OSS Driver
For its part, Afatech does not want any of the above driver attempts to make their way into the kernel, as none of them are very robust in terms of chip support.
Instead, AFA has embarked upon the development of yet another OSS driver, which will be generic in that it will be capable of supporting the entire AF901x family as well as all possible device configurations permitted. In addition to the expectation that it will be this driver that is eventually adopted into the kernel, AFA have also signaled that they intend provide continuous support (i.e. they will stay on as the driver's maintainer).
Currently, this newest driver has reached a second round of testing in AFA labs, but that has only been in conjunction (with some peripheral manufacturers) with a few devices, and, as it stands, the code is still not particularly generic (due to both the complexities of the chip itself as well as those involved in getting the various device configurations to work). So, as of yet, there currently isn't anything for the end user to test. However, as soon things progress past this stage, there will be something released for users to test. There is no specific release timeframe set for this, but hopefully it will be soon, as the chip manufacturer (as well as everybody else involved) is under pressure, due to the large adoption of the chip by different peripheral manufacturers (Avermedia, Terratec, Azurewave, DigitalNow, Pinnacle, as well as some number of unbranded Chinese manufacturers too). In short, a lot more devices based on this chipset are expected to materialize.

Texas Capitol
Spent the past four days in Austin, TX attending a funeral––four days, including two travel days. Yesterday, I had time to go see the Texas Capitol in downtown Austin. Above is a drum circle, the noise from which resounded through the massive building.
Just as with many capitol buildings, the staircases are meant to impose.
Even the hinges on the massive oak doors let there be no mystery where you are.
This plaque was on display in a prominent location near the rotunda. In response to the second paragraph, it is always interesting to ask people who hold to this creed, and they still exist in large numbers, just why the Civil War was fought.
They usually just sputter.

It's totally worth the price.
I'm going to get the black color too.
I walk several miles a day to and from work, and I was looking for a shoe that isn't old-lady while still being very comfortable and durable. I have terrible biomechanics: I pronate and am knock-kneed, so a good shoe or at least a good orthotic is a must. This is my first pair of Finn Comfort. I don't need to wear a special insole in these shoes.

"It's been a long time since I have been in a full-service shoe store. I really didn't think that stores like this exist anymore. Erin stuck with me through my entire process of deciding what type of shoes I wanted, and was very helpful. I'll never buy shoes at a discount no-service store again! Erin made choosing two new pairs of shoes and some socks absolutely pleasurable."

LONGMONT — As juicy snowflakes started to fall Monday evening, volunteers began to canvass spots in Boulder County where homeless gather, asking people to fill out the annual homeless point-in-time survey.
The survey, coordinated by the Metropolitan Denver Homeless Initiative, collects data about homeless people living in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson counties. The survey focuses on where people spent Monday night.
Among those who answered the survey Monday night were Tony Giallella and Terry Childs, a couple staying at Longmont's Bar-L Motel.
The couple said they moved into the motel in August, after they were kicked out of the home they were subletting.
Childs said she suffers from a number of medical conditions and cannot work. Giallella said he works full-time at a demolition company and picks up temporary work when he can. Still, after rent and health expenses, Giallella said the couple live "week by week."
"I hope to (move out). The way things are going? No," he said.
Results of the point-in-time survey, which are released in the spring, identify gaps in services, as well as raise awareness that homelessness is a problem in many communities, said MDHI executive director Gary Sanford.
"Sometimes, I think suburban communities don't think this is an issue as much as, say, in Denver. But we know it exists everywhere," he said.
Local nonprofits and governments often use the point-in-time survey data to secure grants and funding. MDHI uses it to receive federal funds, which are then distributed to organizations that help the homeless.
Last year's survey, conducted on Jan. 23, counted 12,605 homeless in the Denver Metro area. Among the seven counties, Boulder County had the third largest homeless population with 1,970 people.
Of those, 883 reported sleeping in Longmont, a 39 percent increase in the city's homeless population over the previous year. Last year, for the first time since 2006, Boulder's homeless numbers decreased, falling to 750 from 914 in 2011.
The survey continues today. About 50 volunteers and 70 businesses and agencies throughout the county are helping with this year's survey, said Longmont's survey coordinator Janet Walker Ready.
The 27-question surveys collect basic information — age, gender, race, household size, employment — and also ask about the number of times a person has been homeless and why are they homeless this time. Other questions ask about government benefits, mental illness, medical conditions and alcohol or drug abuse.
New this year is a series of five questions aimed at homeless youth between 18 and 24 years old. The questions ask about education, earning money and whether the person has spent time in a juvenile detention center or in residential treatment.

Developer's Reading List, July 17, 2012 Windows Debugging, Web Apps, JavaScript, and Clojure Lead the List of New Titles
Programming Clojure, 2nd Edition
by Stuart Halloway and Aaron Bedra
Clojure is a language that continues to gain fans. While it hasn't yet broken into the mainstream, that's not for lack of enthusiasm from its community of users. Clojure is an implementation of Lisp developed for the JVM, with special support for parallel programming. (Variants are under development for .NET and JavaScript platforms.) The language represents a renaissance of interest in S-expressions, the unique syntax that expresses Lisp's fundamental view of code as data. While the language is gaining fans from both the die-hard Lisp community and the folks who favor functional programming, it has engendered comparatively few books. The best introduction, in my estimation, is this volume, which was recently released in its second edition.
The primary author, Stuart Halloway, is a presenter I've admired for lucid, approachable explanations to a surprisingly wide variety of topics, and he plies his trade well in these pages. Because Lisp will appear foreign to many mainstream developers, it requires more careful explanation of basics than do imperative and procedural languages. The authors do this well and clearly without ever coming off as glib or condescending. Rather, you feel a colleague is leading you through the basics and then through more advanced material, such as transactional memory, concurrency, and finally Lisp/Clojure macros (through Clojure v. 1.3).
Theoretical topics, such as recursion, that are fundamental to functional programming but comparatively rare in the mainstream, are explored in full detail, so that they become intuitive via substantial exposure. By the end of the book (less than 300 pages), you find yourself thinking functionally, which is an impressive feat. My only objection to this otherwise excellent volume is that it presents mostly short examples, so that it never gives you the experience of reading and working through several pages of Clojure code. That notwithstanding, I highly recommended this book.

Mystic Seaport celebrates Charles W. Morgan launch
Mystic — In a day that award-winning filmmaker and keynote speaker Ric Burns likened to "Fourth of July on steroids," Mystic Seaport launched the restored hull of the Charles W. Morgan Sunday afternoon.
Thousands of people lined the banks of the Mystic River and the museum grounds, while a flotilla of several hundred kayaks, dinghies and small boats packed the river waiting for shipyard lift dock to slowly lower the world's last surviving wooden whaling ship into the water.
The ship's bow was christened with a bottle adorned with red, white and blue streamers and filled with water from the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, the three oceans the Morgan traveled during an 80-year career that ended in 1921, as well as the Mystic River and Acushnet River in New Bedford, Mass., its current and original homeport.
Smashing the bottle was Sarah Bullard of East Boothbay Harbor, Maine, the great-great-great granddaughter of Charles Waln Morgan, one of the original owners and namesake of the ship. Although a drop of rum was added as good luck, a bottle of Champagne or liquor was not used because Morgan was a Quaker and it is unlikely alcohol was used at the 1841 launch, according to the museum.
Sunday's colorful ceremony took place on the172ndanniversaryof the day the Morgan was launched in New Bedford.
Burns opened his remarks by thanking everyone involved in the project.
"After caring for her all these years, you've done something even more extraordinary. You've given her back her wings and allowed her to sail again,"
he said.
Burns was referring to the Seaport's plan to send the 113-foot Morgan on its 38th voyage next summer when its $7 million, five-year renovation is complete. The vessel will first travel to New London, where it will spend three weeks preparing for the voyage and conducting sea trials. Escorted by a tugboat and the Roann, a fishing vessel restored at the Seaport, the Morgan will sail to Newport, R.I., Vineyard Haven, Mass., New Bedford, the Cape Cod Canal, Provincetown, Mass., Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in Massachusetts Bay, Boston, then back to New London before returning to the Seaport in September 2014.
Burns talked extensively about the Morgan's importance in global commerce and the Industrial Revolution and said the ship has now been transformed from a institution of commerce and killing to one of wonder, imagination and knowledge.
Speaking at the ceremony was Gov. Dannel Malloy, U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, U.S. Rep. Joe Courtney, D-2nd District, state Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-18th District and New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell, who told the crowd his city was looking forward to welcoming the ship next year. Also on hand was actor Michael Douglas, who attended as a guest of George White, the founder of the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center in Waterford who has chaired the seaport's International Council.
Before the ceremony, former Seaport president Douglas Teeson, who stepped down in 2009, said that on his second day on the job he was told the Morgan needed a lot of work and on the third day that a new lift dock would be needed for the project.
"Quentin Snediker (the shipyard director) told me that if we have to do it, we have to do it right. So I swallowed hard and said, 'Let's do it,'" he recalled. "We knew we had to do it. We had already started acquiring the materials. The question was finding the funding to do it."
"I saw her come out of the water (in 2008) and I can't be happier to see her go back in today," he said. "This is a tribute to so many people."
That was a theme expressed by many of the speakers who commended the shipyard workers, volunteers, museum officials, contributors, politicians and others for making the project a success.
A good portion of the funding for the work has come from the state which pledged another $500,000 last week.
Malloy, his voice rising and falling as if giving a campaign speech, said the museum "has been unbelievable in its steadfastness in making sure this day would come."
Twice he reminded the crowd that more money is still needed to complete the work.
Maynard described growing up in Noank, going aboard the Morgan with friends and having it take them back in time.
"The Charles W. Morgan was our time machine," he said, as they dreamed about going around Cape Horn and feeling the spray on their faces.
Board of Trustees President Richard Vietor said the museum has the mission, vision and resources to be the guardian of the country's maritime objects and use them to tell future generations what made American and its spirit great.
"The Morgan is as relevant today as when she was first launched 142 years ago," he said.
Since the Morgan's restoration began in November 2008, each piece of wood that has been removed and replaced has been documented with photographs, laser scans and X-rays. The ship has between 15 percent and 18 percent of its original wood, including its keel. Much of the new wood came from the southeastern United States, including oak trees downed by storms such as Hurricane Katrina.
The majority of the restoration has focused on deteriorated framing below the water line. Interior planking had to be removed to reach the framing, and some of it was replaced. Exterior planking also was replaced and extensive work was done to the bow and transom. The work is expected to preserve the ship for the next 30 years.
While the majority of the work to the hull is complete, details of a whaling ship, such as davits, have to be added while the captain's cabin and fo'c'sle have to be restored after being partially dismantled for the hull work. Fourteen of the 22 spars have to be replaced or repaired, and the ship has to be rigged, fitted with new sails and have the electrical system replaced.
The trip next summer requires the installation of navigation and safety gear, a generator, batteries and a bilge pump. Most of this modern equipment will be removed when the voyage is over.
The Morgan will reopen to visitors early this week.

Burton tied for 10th in the Closers category, after improving by one position during the final 10 percent of the race.
Harvick was the only driver in the 43-car field to complete 100 percent of the Laps in the Top 15.
Carl Edwards earned his first victory of the 2013 Sprint Cup Series season and was followed to the finish line by Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Brad Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The next Sprint Cup Series race is the Kobalt Tools 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday, March 10. The third race of the 2013 season is scheduled to be televised live on FOX beginning at 3 p.m. Eastern Time and broadcast live on the Performance Racing Network and Sirius XM NASCAR Satellite Radio.
Menard Finishes 20th in the Arizona Desert, After a Green-White-Checkered Finish
Starting from the 16th position, Paul Menard and the No. 27 Serta/Menards team faced handling issues throughout the 316-lap event, earning a 20th-place finish when the checkered flag flew at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday. The early laps of the race looked promising as the No. 27 machine quickly made its way to eighth by lap 15. As time went on, Menard began to struggle with a loose-handling racecar on entry into the corners and a tight condition through the middle and on exit. The Serta/Menards pit crew made a variety of adjustments to the Chevrolet SS in hopes of remedying the issue. The series of chassis and air pressure adjustments provided some relief to the Eau Claire, Wis., native toward the later part of the event, and Menard was scored 18th with just two laps remaining. A late-race caution set up the field for a green-white-checkered finish. When the green-flag flew, Menard was shuffled out of line on the last lap, crossing the stripe 20th.
Start – 16 Finish – 20 Laps Led – 0 Points – 17
"We struggled throughout the race to find the right setup for the Serta/Menards Chevrolet, but we were never able to get exactly what we needed. Slugger (Labbe, crew chief) and the team worked really hard to get the handling balanced, making adjustments on every pit stop. They never gave up all day. There at the end, the car was handling better, but we just couldn't gain any track position. We'll move on and hope 'Lady Luck' is on our side at Las Vegas."
Kevin Harvick and the Jimmy John's Team Finish 13th at Phoenix International Raceway
Kevin Harvick and the No. 29 Jimmy John's team battled handling issues which resulted in a 13th-place finish at Phoenix International Raceway on Sunday afternoon. Harvick started the race from the seventh position and was a fixture in the top 10 for the majority of the scheduled 312-lap event while battling a loose-handling condition. The Gil Martin-led pit crew made several two and four-tire pit stops along with chassis adjustments to help alleviate the issue. During the late stages of the event, the Bakersfield, Calif., native informed the team that the Jimmy John's Chevrolet SS was as loose as it had been all day, as he began to slip back in the field. Harvick was scored in the 10th position for the green-white-checkered finish, but was shuffled backward, ultimately crossing the finish line 13th.
Start – 7 Finish – 13 Laps Led – 0 Points – 30
"This was a tough one for the Jimmy John's team today. We had a great qualifying effort and had high hopes for this race after our win here last fall. With the changing track conditions, we just couldn't find the right setup to get the car handling like we needed and couldn't get to the front. We'll put this race behind us and move on to Vegas."
Jeff Burton Finishes Off Solid Effort with Top-10 Finish at Phoenix International Raceway
Jeff Burton and the No. 31 Cheerios Chevrolet SS team finished off a solid afternoon with a top-10 finish at Phoenix International Raceway. After qualifying 20th for the scheduled 312-lap event, the team received news early Sunday morning they would be without the services of crew chief Luke Lambert, who returned to Charlotte, N.C., to be with his wife as the couple is expecting their second child. With interim crew chief Ernie Cope calling the shots from atop the No. 31 pitbox, Burton quietly maintained a top-20 running position for the early part of the event before entering the top 10 on lap 75. Midway through the race, Burton radioed to Cope the No. 31 Chevrolet was losing grip, so Cope called for fresh Goodyear tires and fuel under the next caution period, as opposed to their two-tire pit stops earlier in the race. Burton was scored 20th on the lap-242 restart and the handling on the car balanced out over the next 42 laps. The Richard Childress Racing driver gained 10 positions and clocked the fastest laps of any car in the field over a long green-flag run; moving him into ninth-place with seven laps to go. Cope, worried about Burton having enough fuel to finish the race and directed the 45-year-old driver to save fuel over the final laps before the caution flag was displayed; setting up a green-white-checkered finish. Burton managed to save enough fuel to complete the final two laps and crossed the finish line in the 10th position, collecting his first top-10 of the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season.
Start-20 Finish-10 Laps Led-0 Points-15
"Over the last 60 or so laps, we consistently had the fastest car in the field. It was great to end it off with a top-10 finish, especially after all the adversity the team faced early in the day when Luke (Lambert, crew chief) flew home to be with his wife who was expecting their second child. Ernie (Cope) stepped in and made great calls all day. I appreciate him and the entire No. 31 Cheerios team pulling together and working hard. It paid off in the end with a solid finish, and we hope to build on that momentum next weekend at Las Vegas (Motor Speedway)."

How C++ Reverse Iterators Represent Boundaries
Last week, we noted that we can use pointers to represent boundaries by taking the view that a pointer has the same representation as the boundary immediately preceding it, and by implication, that a boundary has the same representation as the pointer immediately following it. Let's continue by looking more closely at how these representations interact with reverse iterators.
Suppose that
c is a container. Then we can access
c's elements in order by writing
for (auto it = c.begin(), it != c.end(); ++it) // access the element at *it
We can also access
c's elements in reverse order by writing
for (auto rt = c.rbegin(), rt != c.rend(); ++rt) // access the element at *it
it and
rt must have different types. If nothing else, giving them different types makes it possible for
++it to move
it to the next element to the right, and for
--rt to move
rt to the next element to the left. No problem so far.
Where things get interesting is when we think about the value of
c.rbegin(). Surely we would like that value to be the same as what we get when we convert
c.end() to a reverse iterator. However,
c.end() is an off-the-end iterator, which means that it does not refer to an element. In contrast, unless
c is empty,
c.rbegin() most definitely does refer to an element, namely the rightmost one! The implication seems to be that when we convert an iterator into the corresponding reverse iterator, we change the element to which the iterator refers.
How can such a design make sense? Surely an iterator should refer to the same element of a container regardless of the direction in which we are processing the container's elements!
Well — of course, it shouldn't; otherwise, I wouldn't have bothered to raise your expectations with that remark. The missing link is that when we think about iterators and directions together, we should be thinking about ranges, and when we think about ranges, we should be thinking about boundaries, not pointers.
c.begin() and
c.end() iterators do not exist in isolation; they work together to represent a range. When we think of them in that way,
c.begin() really represents the boundary immediately to the left of the first element of
c, and
c.end() represents the boundary immediately to the right of
c's last element. When we write
c.rbegin(), we intend it to represent the same boundary — not necessarily the same element — as
c.end(). In order to represent that boundary as a pointer, we want to use a pointer to the element immediately after the boundary, just as we do for
c.begin(). Because we are now traversing
c right to left, that element that we use to represent
c.rbegin() is the one to the left of the boundary.
In short, although it may seem odd for
c.begin() and
c.rend() to refer to different positions in a container, and similarly, for
c.rbegin() and
c.end() to refer to different positions, this difference makes it possible for the
c.end() pair to refer to the same range of elements as the
c.rend() pair, albeit in the opposite order.
Next week, we'll look at some concrete examples of how to intermix iterators and reverse iterators, with an eye toward explaining why these forward/backward conversions are less confusing than they appear at first glance.

DETROIT – Honda's little car is getting bigger on the inside and more connected on the outside.
The company showed off its all-new 2015 Fit Monday at the North American International Auto Show. The new version has actually been on sale in Japan for a few months now, but the U.S. version will go on sale here this spring.
On the outside, the car's about an inch and a half shorter than the previous model and less than half an inch wider. However, on the inside, rear legroom is actually up by about 5 inches, and the car has nearly 5 more cubic feet of space inside.
All 2015 Fit models will come with a rearview camera that can show different angles and with Bluetooth connectivity to connect to the driver's smartphone.
Optional equipment will include a smart key for easy entry, a camera to watch the right-hand lane and even leather seats.
Powering the little car is an all-new 1.5-liter direct-injection four-cylinder engine. It generates 130 horsepower and 114 pound-feet of torque -- up 13 horsepower and 8 pound-feet over the outgoing model. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual gearbox or an efficient, continuously variable transmission.
The new engine, and a body that weighs 57 pounds less than the outgoing model, help the 2015 Fit reach 33 miles per gallon in the city and 41 mpg on the highway.
The new Fit will be built at 10 locations around the world, but most of the models destined for the United States will be made at a new factory in Mexico.
