Ghanaian artist aims to spark debate on Warrington's identity with new exhibition
A Ghanaian artist now living in Warrington hopes his new exhibition will get people talking about the town's identity and place in the world.
Kwame Akpokavi, who has lived in the UK for over 20 years and now calls Warrington home, is proud to announce his first exhibition in the town.
Searchers, a collection of traditional Ghanaian fabric collages now on display at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery, explores the notion of identity and challenges visitors to consider their own, as well as that of the town and the country as a whole.
Kwame came to England to study at Manchester University two decades ago and finds himself caught between his place of birth and the place where he now lives.
This is illustrated in one of the exhibits titled Diaspora Dilemmas.
He said: "We're all searching for something – our own identity, our place in the world.
"I'd like people to come to the exhibition and ask themselves questions and to think about what identity we want for Warrington, what we want others to see when they look at our town.
"This exhibition comes at a time of big change for the town and the country as a whole; we're trying to regenerate the town centre, we want to bring the town to the fore.
"I love it here and I want it to be a place people come to for art, there's an awful lot of potential here.
"Warrington's a small town sandwiched between Liverpool and Manchester but we can still shine as bright as we want to."
Kwame's work has been exhibited around the UK and in Ghana but Searchers is his first exhibition in Warrington.
"I'm really excited to be exhibiting in Warrington; I want everyone to come and see it.
"I ask questions with my work, I want people to engage with it and come up with their own conclusions.
"I like to challenge myself; I want to paint but I don't want to use traditional materials," he added. "I call it 'painting with fabric'.
"Back home in Ghana there's a strong textile tradition, we use a lot of appliqué for example in flags, carnival costumes and traditional clothing; patterns are sewn into the fabric.
"My style doesn't necessarily need to be aesthetically pleasing but I want it to be intellectually stimulating; I want people to ask 'what's this all about?'"

Q: Ruby DevKit problems I have some troubles with the DevKit installation. Basically, it's not working. I've installed it by the books but the installation fails the test:
gem install rdiscount --platform=ruby

My OS is windows 7 x64! There are no other versions of Ruby or DevKit installed on the system and this is the PATH

A: I may be wrong but I think the Ruby installation path is being read as two different arguments, effectively "C:/Ruby" "1.9.3-p327/bin/ruby.exe" because the path has not been escaped (is that the right word? Wrapped in quotes basically).
I suggest you take a look at a similar question on Stack Overflow. I had exactly the same problem as you, and this solution solved it straight-away.

Personal Jurisdiction and the Improper Service of Process
- Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice, January 19, 2011
Author(s): Charles R. Macedo
Nuance Communications, Inc. v Abbyy Software House, No. 2010-1100, US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, 2010 US App. LEXIS 23419, 12 November 2010 (Nuance II)
Under California's Long-Arm Statute, a US District Court erroneously dismissed patent infringement claim against a Cyprus parent corporation and its Russian affiliate for lack of personal jurisdiction and improper service of process.
Legal Context
As emerging markets play a bigger role in the global economy, and corporate entities located in them continue to avail themselves of US markets, when and how such entities become subject to personal jurisdiction in US Courts for alleged patent infringement is a matter of increasing concern. In Nuance Communications, Inc. v Abbyy Software House, et al., the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit laid out in great detail how two of the defendants (Abbyy Software, a Republic of Cyprus corporation, and Russian Federation Abbyy Production) were improperly dismissed for lack of personal jurisdiction and improper service of process outside the Hague Convention by the US District Court for the Northern District of California.
Nuance Communications was the owner by assignment of six US patents related to methods and systems for performing optical character recognition.
In 2008 Nuance brought a patent infringement action in the Central District of California against Abbyy USA Software House ('Abbyy USA') and Lexmark. The case was transferred to the US District Court for the Northern District of California. Later that year Abbyy USA identified in discovery responses a Cyprus company, Abbyy Software, and a wholly-owned Russian subsidiary, Abbyy Production. Nuance filed an amended complaint, adding Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software as additional defendants and served documents requests on both entities.
In May 2009 a local process server in Moscow personally served a manager of Abbyy Production with the amended complaint, amended summons and standing orders of the court, as well as Russian translations of these documents, effecting personal service on Abbyy Production. In June 2009 the Abbyy defendants filed a motion to dismiss Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software for lack of personal jurisdiction, and to dismiss Abbyy Production for improper service of process. Abbyy Software did not object to service of process. The motion was supported with written declarations and previously unproduced documents. The Abbyy defendants also sought a protective order to preclude pending written discovery until the motion to dismiss was resolved.
In August 2009 the District Court issued an order in which it found:
service of process of Abbyy Software and Abbyy Production was improper pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(h)(2), due to Nuance's failure to follow the Hague Convention;
the plaintiff failed to meet its burden to establish a prima facie showing of general or specific jurisdiction over each defendant it sued; and
the defendants' motion for a protective order was moot.
In particular, with respect to the jurisdictional issue, the District Court explained its rationale as follows:
"Here, because there is no showing that the Moving Defendants purposefully directed any specific activity at residents of California or within the forum state or that the plaintiffs' claim arises out of or relates to those activities, the Court need not reach the issue whether the assertion of personal jurisdiction is reasonable and fair. Again, there is no controlling precedent or evidence sustaining the position that this Court should pierce the corporate veil between the United States defendant, Abbyy USA, and the foreign defendants. Based on the record, the Court finds that it cannot exercise personal jurisdiction over the Moving Defendants. Defendants Abbyy Software, Ltd. or Abbyy Production, LLC are dismissed as defendants."
Nuance Commc'ns Inc. v Abbyy Software House, No. 08-02912, 2009 WL 2707390, at *3 (ND Cal. 25 Aug, 2009) ('Nuance I') (citation omitted).
Significantly, as the Federal Circuit observed, no evidentiary hearing was conducted by the District Court before it reached its decision, and Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software never responded to Nuance's discovery requests.
Nuance filed a notice of appeal challenging the District Court's determination that it cannot exercise personal jurisdiction over Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software, and that these companies were served in a legally insufficient manner.
On appeal, the Federal Circuit found:
the District Court erred when it declined to exercise jurisdiction over Abbyy Production and abused its discretion when it denied Nuance's request for jurisdictional discovery;
the District Court erred when it dismissed the Abbyy defendants for improper service of process; and
the District Court's decision was vacated and remanded for further proceedings consistent with the Federal Circuit's opinion.
First, the Federal Circuit analysed the personal jurisdiction issues over Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software. In this regard, the Federal Circuit applied its own law (rather than the regional Ninth Circuit law) to determine if the District Court properly declined to exercise personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state accused patent infringer. This is a question of law that the Federal Circuit reviews without deference, with the underlying factual determinations reviewed under a clear error standard.
In particular, the Federal Circuit applied the California Long-Arm statute, which is coextensive with the due process requirements under US federal law, to determine whether the California District Court had personal jurisdiction over the Abbyy Defendants. The touchstone of this analysis was whether the defendant was consistent with due process 'purposefully established "minimum contacts" in the forum State' (Nuance II at *10).
In this case, the issue was whether there was specific jurisdiction (rather than general jurisdiction) over the two defendants. In particular, under Federal Circuit law, specific jurisdiction exists under the following three-prong test:
whether the defendant purposefully directed activities at residents of the forum;
whether the claim arises out of or relates to those activities; and
whether assertion of personal jurisdiction is reasonable and fair.
Significantly, the Federal Circuit found troubling the failure of the District Court to allow for jurisdictional discovery and to hold a factual hearing on the subject. In such a situation, the Court noted that '[w]ithout discovery and a record on jurisdiction, this court must resolve all factual disputes in the plaintiff's favor' (Id. at *11–12).
Personal jurisdiction over Abbyy Production
First, the Federal Circuit analysed whether Abbyy Production, the Russian Federation affiliate of Abbyy USA, was subject to personal jurisdiction, and found that it was.
Under the first prong, the Federal Circuit found, 'Abbyy Production purposefully directed its activities at residents of California and therefore satisfies the first prong of the Akro test' (Id. at *16).
In particular, the Federal Circuit cited Nuance's arguments regarding:
an article dated 11 February 2008 quoted the CEO's stated goal of conquering the US market and noted that Abbyy's FineReader software program allegedly controlled about thirty percent of the US market;
the importation of allegedly infringing products into California;
the extraction of royalty payments for the sale of those products; and
Abbyy Production's agreement to provide assistance to Abbyy USA in selling, reproducing, and modifying the accused products in California.
The Federal Circuit also distinguished two cases cited by defendants, HollyAnne Corp. v TFT, Inc., 199 F.3d 1304 (Fed. Cir. 1999) and Pieczenik v Dyax, 265 F.3d 1329 (Fed. Cir. 2001), both of which affirmed dismissals for lack of jurisdiction.
HollyAnne involved a single 'offer to donate' as being insufficient to confer personal jurisdiction. The Federal Circuit found it to be inapposite, 'because Abbyy Production seeks to "conquer" the US market, not to donate its services, and its contacts with California are much more significant than the single interaction in HollyAnne' (Nuance II at *14).
Pieczenik found an arrangement which 'superficially resemble[d]' the arrangement between the Abbyy defendants as insufficient to establish personal jurisdiction. In particular, Pieczenik found 'that [an] agreement [between the defendant there and a New York company] did not confer personal jurisdiction because
the agreement was not negotiated or executed in New York;
there was no visit to New York in connection with the licensing;
the choice-of-law provision did not specify New York law;
the agreement did not require the defendant to send any goods into New York or provide any services in New York; and
the only payments were payments by the licensee in New York to the defendant in Massachusetts' (Id. at *15).
The Federal Circuit distinguished Pieczenik, as applying a different standard under New York's narrower long-arm statute, after an extensive factual hearing, which more importantly involved unrelated entities. The Federal Circuit found it significant that Abbyy Production and Abby USA not only had an agreement like in Pieczenik, but also had:
'an expressed desire to "win the whole US market" by issuing ABBYY'S FineReader software program in the United States';
'the admitted distribution of that software to Abbyy USA, a California entity'; and
'[o]ver ninety-five percent of the profits resulting from the sale of that software flow to Abbyy Production'. (Id. at *16).
Under the second prong, the Federal Circuit found 'that the claims arise out of or relate to the purposefully directed activities, because Nuance's infringement claims relate to Abbyy Production's importation of goods into California.' (Id.) The Federal Circuit rejected Abbyy Production's argument that it 'has no physical presence in California':
"To the contrary, the record shows that Abbyy Production provided copies of the accused software products to Abbyy USA, a California entity. By operation of the Agreement, Abbyy Production retains ownership in the accused software even after that software enters California. Greater than ninety-five percent of the profits in California flow to Abbyy Production. Under these facts, Abbyy Production has sufficient presence in the forum for importation under 35 U.S.C. § 271(a). (Id. at *17)."
The Federal Circuit also found that 'Abbyy Production also runs afoul of the Supreme Court's and this court's stream of commerce jurisprudence' (Id. at *18). In particular, the Federal Circuit distinguished its Beverly Hills Fan Co. v. Royal Sovereign Corp., 21 F.3d 1558 (Fed. Cir. 1994), precedent, as follows:
"Abbyy Production purposefully ships the accused software products into California through an established distribution channel, with the expectation that copies of those products will be sold in California. Unlike Beverly Hills Fan, which involved the more attenuated connection of an out-of-state distributor, Nuance brought suit in the same forum in which Abbyy Production's distributor, Abbyy USA, is located. Moreover, under the Agreement, Abbyy Production has agreed to furnish Abbyy USA with new versions and updates of the Software, technical support, and oral and written consultations. The Supreme Court has endorsed precisely this sort of purposeful activity as reinforcing the proper exercise of jurisdiction. See Asahi (Metal Indus. Co. v. Superior Ct. of Cal.), 480 US (102), 112 (1987). [Nuance II at *19–20 (citation omitted).]"
Significantly, the Federal Circuit emphasized that no more is required to establish specific jurisdiction than the non-US defendant making the accused products available for sale through an established distribution chain, and the cause of action for patent infringement is alleged to arise out of these activities.
With respect to the third prong, the Federal Circuit rejected the argument that assertion of jurisdiction over Abbyy Production would be unfair. The Federal Circuit distinguished Asahi, on the following grounds:
Abbyy Production was not merely an upstream provider like in Asahi, but instead established a distribution system with Abbyy USA that was intended to deliver products to the US market via a commonly owned California entity.
Abbyy Production knew the destination of its products, and its conduct and connections with the forum state were such that it should have reasonably anticipated being brought into court there.
Abbyy Production and Abbyy USA share the same counsel and operate under a consolidated Global Management Team.
In sum, the Federal Circuit found '[t]hese relationships should ameliorate any possible burden of litigating in California.' (Id. at *21).
Personal jurisdiction over Abbyy Software
The Federal Circuit separately analysed whether the California District Court had personal jurisdiction over Abbyy Software. While the Federal Circuit found evidence to establish a prima facie case of personal jurisdiction, it also recognized that the factual record was insufficient to make a proper determination. Thus the Federal Circuit found that the district court abused its discretion by dismissing Abbyy Software without jurisdictional discovery.
In particular, the Federal Circuit identified the following facts to support a conclusion that Abbyy Software was more than merely a holding company:
"Abbyy Software's website portrays Abbyy as a single company with offices in many countries, including the United States. The CEO of Abbyy Software, who expressed a desire to return to the U.S. market, is both the founder of the Abbyy companies and the Chairman of Abbyy's Global Management Team, which includes among its members the CEOs of Abbyy USA and Abbyy Production. Abbyy Software's website lists multiple California entities as customers of the accused products, including Hewlett-Packard, Alameda County, and Los Angeles County. Abbyy Software's website also promotes the sale of these products in California by providing the names and contact information for retail stores located in California as well as online stores that sell the FineReader product. (Id. at *22–23)."
However, the record also included evidence making 'uncertain' the extent of Abbyy Software's involvement:
"Abbyy Software does not directly sell products through its website or otherwise. The record does not show at this point that Abbyy Software receives revenue from the sale of the accused software. Abbyy Production, not Abbyy Software, appears to develop the accused software and import master copies of that software into California. While the Global Management Team and the statements in the Trade Secret Magazine article suggest that Abbyy Software exerts some control over its subsidiaries, the record is unclear about the degree to which Abbyy Software intentionally established distribution channels that it knew, or could have foreseen, terminated in California. (Id. at *23–24)."
Because the Federal Circuit could not 'determine that Abbyy Software purposefully availed itself of the privilege of conducting activities in California by some affirmative act or conduct, and that Nuance's claims arise out of those activities,' the Court remanded the case for further discovery. (Id. at *24).
Service of process over Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software
The Federal Circuit found the District Court improperly found Nuance's service of process over Abbyy Production and Abbyy Software to be insufficient under the Hague Convention.
With respect to Abbyy Production, Nuance served Abbyy Production personally in Moscow, but did not attempt to serve Abbyy Production under the Hague Convention. The record in the case indicates that Nuance could not serve Abbyy Production through the Russian Federated Authority under the Hague Convention. While the Federal Circuit expressly did not decide whether personal service is allowed under Russian law, it nonetheless found that on remand 'the district court should therefore allow alternate service as it deems appropriate, including at least substitute service, pursuant to Rule 4(f)(3), of Abbyy Production by substitute service on Abbyy USA.' (Id. at *39).
With respect to Abbyy Software, the Federal Circuit found the District Court's dismissal of Abbyy Software for lack of personal jurisdiction on its own motion to be clear error. First, the District Court erred in failing to provide Nuance with any opportunity to show its service of process was sufficient on Abbyy Software. Moreover, since Abbyy Software failed to raise this defence in their first motion under Rule 12(b), the defence was waived, and thus it was improper for the District Court to dismiss on this ground in any event.
Practical Significance
Nuance II provides helpful guidelines to non-US entities whose products are sold in the US to determine whether they may be subject to jurisdiction in the US. It confirms the expansive reach of US courts in patent infringement actions over non-US entities that purposely seek to avail themselves of US markets. When establishing worldwide networks of related entities to manufacture and distribute products, entities that seek to avoid jurisdiction in the US should pay careful attention to the considerations outlined in Nuance II.

In response to the injunction in Texas v. United States, USCIS is requiring approximately 2,000 individuals to whom 3-year Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) were issued after the February 16, 2015 injunction, to return their EADs to the USCIS by July 17th or show cause.
This does not affect EADs that were issued before the injunction. Also, and most important – these affected individuals have already been issued a new 2-year EAD as a replacement for the invalid 3-year EAD.
Note: Failure to return card, USCIS will terminate your DACA and all employment authorizations effective July 31, 2015.

A great fun-filled learning adventure!
This year's camp was held from July 31 – August 2 at Killdevil Camp in Lomond which is at the beginning of Gros Morne National Park. 32 children, their leaders and chaperons participated in activities centered on the theme Who Are You, Jesus? In keeping with the theme, cabins were named for the places that we read about in the Gospel stories, e.g. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Cana. There was a Scavenger Hunt, a study session followed by a creative activity. Each child went home with a bracelet they created to tell Jesus' story.
On the closing day Bishop Hundt and Monsignor Jim Robertson came to celebrate Mass and have lunch with us.


He predicts the result of the two auto companies working together will be even better cars. In addition, the two auto companies say they will team up to jointly develop and share new electric car technology, as well as share connected car technology and advanced safety features.
While the two companies will remain independent, Toyota & Mazda agreed to essentially acquire stock in each others' companies.
Traditional carmakers may feel threatened by advances in autonomous vehicle technology that are largely coming from Silicon Valley and not traditional automotive companies.
As part of their agreement, Toyota and Mazda have agreed to explore construction of a joint plant in the U.S. that could produce around 300,000 Mazdas and Toyotas each year.
As for the electric vehicle development, Toyota and Mazda will jointly explore development for the basic structure of future electric vehicles.
The plant will allow Mazda to produce upcoming crossover models for North America, while Toyota will produce its Corolla for the market.
It is also the realisation of our desire to never let cars become commodities."It's interesting that both companies produce cars that are, in our opinion, exactly that; commodities.
Toyota and Mazda are teaming up to co-develop future mobility and electric vehicle technology, and will establish a production plant that will allow both companies to produce vehicles in the US.
It means Mazda will supply a compact sedan to Toyota in North America while Toyota will supply a compact van to Mazda in Japan.
as informed in Toyota and Mazda plan to open a $1.6 billion assembly plant to produce that model, plus a Mazda crossover, starting in 2021.
The Magnolia State already is home to a Corolla factory that's been producing the compact car for almost six years.
As Toyota Motor Corp. and Mazda Motor Corp. begin to scour the U.S. for where to put the first auto assembly plant announced under President Donald Trump, one state looks like a frontrunner: Mississippi.
Haley Barbour and local governments lured Toyota to Mississippi with a $358.5 million incentive package in 2007.
A head-start on a supplier network would be particularly attractive for Mazda, which doesn't have a U.S. plant.

NEW YORK, NY — May 8th, 2014 — Maiden Lane, purveyor of fine quality engagement rings and other jewelry is excited to announce the launch of the ASPIRITM Collection of complete diamond engagement rings.Maiden Lane, formerly Romantique, has a traditional approach to quality custom craftsmanship, combined with a modern aesthetic and innovative approach, exemplified by the ASPIRI collection.
Each stone is handcrafted by artisans using a unique cutting technique that results in a center stone that looks 25% – 50% larger than a similar stone of equal carat weight. "We focus not only on the '4Cs' – carat weight, cut, clarity, and color but also what we call the Fifth "C" – crown Coverage, or the area of the face of the diamond," says Wirth. The ASPIRI collection features diamonds that are visually and physically 125% – 150% the face size of similarly weighted traditionally cut diamond center stones. These gemologist-certified cushion brilliant cut diamonds come in the finest quality halo setting for a stunning final look that maximizes the brilliance and attributes of each stone.
The ASPIRI collection of engagement rings is available for wholesale to independent jewelry retailers. Efficiencies in the supply chain, delivery, and design process offer a fully finished complete engagement ring (center stone and ring).
By maintaining control of the design and manufacturing processes, independent jewelers can offer their customers a master artisan designed, unique, high quality and impressive looking engagement rings at a lower price for a greater perceived value.
Maiden Lane Jewelry, Ltd. is a producer of complete engagement rings and other jewelry products for independent retailers across the US. The Company's signature line is the ASPIRI™ collection of bridal engagement rings, which are certified cushion brilliant cut by the American Gem Society. Formerly Romantique Jewelry Ltd., the company changed its name to Maiden Lane Jewelry, Ltd. in April of 2014.

Q: Bias-variance decomposition for a statistical test A statistical estimator can be characterized – among others – by its bias and variance. These are different aspects, but if one is willing to accept a certain loss function (risk) than they can merged; the most popular example of which is MSE (which can be shown to be the square of the bias plus the variance). If one is willing to accept MSE as a metric, it can be used to objectively compare estimators even if they have different bias.
My question is: do we have analogous concepts for statistical tests?
Motivation: We all know that – despite being notoriously recommended, even by textbooks – it is a bad idea to select the applied test based on another test performed on the same sample. (Let's say for concreteness: to decide whether to use $t$-test or Welch-test based on an $F$-test, or Levene-test.) Doing so will result in an invalid test, i.e. the distribution of the $p$-values will no longer be uniform, the Type I error rate will be different from the significance level. However, one might say: "OK, I understand that there is some invalidity here, but, hey, we will have higher power!". (As $t$-test has higher power than Welch-test – that's of course the very reason why this flawed strategy is employed at all.)
Now, my feeling is that this invalidity in a statistical test is analogous to the bias of an estimator (actually, it is called bias in mathematical statistics texts; if I understand this concept correctly) and I have the feeling that power is analogous to variance.
So, question #1: are my feelings correct? Do we really have an equivalence here?
Question #2: if so, do we have an analog for MSE? (I accept that we have to select a loss function (risk) for this of course.)
This would be interesting because it would allow us to objectively decide whether there is any merit in the above reasoning (i.e. higher power offsetting the loss of validity – just as a biased estimator can have smaller MSE than an unbiased one).


Welcome back! It's term 5 and our amazing new play area is finally ready!
This term is just 5 weeks long but we have lots of exciting learning to do before Sports day at the end of term.
In English we will be reading books from The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch series of books by Ronda and David Armitage. The Armitages are our authors of the term, so if you have any books by Ronda or David at home please bring them into share. We will use the books to inspire our own stories. As well as coming up with letter and persuasive writing related to the book. In reading we will focus on our inference skills and considering the order of a text - make sure you're reading at home everyday.
In Maths we will focus on reasoning, developing skills to demonstrate our understanding of number. We will also be practising our times tables to make sure we can recall them quickly. In Science we will look at animal lifecycles and habitats.
Linked to the book our this term's enquiry question is 'Can you keep Mr Grinling's lunch safe?' Check out the topic web to see what else we will be doing.
Let's have an amazing term!
Spellings will be given out on a Monday for a test on Friday.
Make sure you have your kit with you!
Homework is given out on a Friday and is due back the following Wednesday.
As you know reading is crucially important to your child's development. Please read as often as you can with your child and record it in their Reading Record. In year 2 we promote independent learning, with this in mind it will be your child's responsibility to change their own reading book. They can do this any day of the week at reading time.
Longer Read ideas for children reading in the mid 20s.

Bob Dylan and his Band will tour the United States this fall, including a stop in Richmond, Kentucky, on Sunday, November 11 at 8:00 PM at the EKU Center.
Tickets go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, August 10 at 10:00 AM, and are priced at $69.50, $99.50, and $129.50. Tickets can be purchased online at EKUCenter.com, by calling the box office at 859-622-7469, or in person at 1 Hall Drive in Richmond, on the campus of Eastern Kentucky University. Friends of the Center can buy tickets early starting on Tuesday, August 7. VIP packages are also available.
In a career spanning more than five decades, Dylan's impact on popular music and culture is immeasurable. He is responsible for some of the most influential albums of all time, including The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, Highway 61 Revisited, and Blonde on Blonde, and his socially and politically charged singles, "Blowin' In The Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'," are widely considered among the most important songs in modern music. The 'voice of a generation' boasts an unparalleled repertoire, including timeless classics, "Like A Rolling Stone," "Tangled Up In Blue," "Knockin' On Heaven's Door," and "Girl From The North Country."
With a catalogue of more than 50 albums, Dylan has sold more than 100 million records globally, received 11 Grammy Awards, an Academy Award for "Things Have Changed" (Best Original Song), and has been inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2012, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 2016 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Last in Central Kentucky 12 years ago, Bob Dylan and his band are a commanding force on stage. To experience Bob Dylan live in concert is an opportunity to share an encounter with one of the last remaining musical legends of the modern era.
Don't miss out on what promises be a performance for the ages.

Q: extracting images from Google images using src and BeautifulSoup I was following this past question (Extracting image src based on attribute with BeautifulSoup) to try to extract all the images from a google images page.  I was getting a "urllib2.HTTPError: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" error but was able to get past it using this:
req = urllib2.Request(url, headers={'User-Agent' : "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.04 Chromium/12.0.742.112 Chrome/12.0.742.112 Safari/534.30"})

however, then I got a new error that seems to be telling me that the src attribute does not exist:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Desktop/webscrapev2.py", line 13, in <module>
print(tag['src'])
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bs4/element.py", line 958, in __getitem__
return self.attrs[key]
KeyError: 'src'

I was able to get over that error by checking specifically for the 'src' attribute but most of my images when extracted, dont have the src attribute.  It seems like google is doing something to obscure my ability to extract even a few images (I know requests are limited but i thought it was at least 10).
For example printing out the variable tag (see code below) gives me this:

But printing out the variable v gives 'None'.  I have no idea why this is happening nor how to get the actual image from what its returning.  Does anyone know how to get the actual images? I'm especially worries since the data-src URL starts with encrypted...  Should I query data-src to get the image instead of src?  Any assistance or advice would be super appreciated!
Here is my full code (in Python):
 from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
 import urllib2

 url = "https://www.google.com/search? q=baseball+pitcher&espv=2&biw=980&bih=627&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5h8-9lfjLAhUE7mMKHdgKD0YQ_AUIBigB"
#'http://www.imdb.com/title/tt%s/' % (id,)

req = urllib2.Request(url, headers={'User-Agent' : "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/534.30 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.04 Chromium/12.0.742.112 Chrome/12.0.742.112 Safari/534.30"})

soup = BeautifulSoup(urllib2.urlopen(req).read(), "lxml")
print "before FOR"
for tag in soup.findAll('img'):
print "inside FOR"
v = tag.get('src', tag.get('dfr-src'))  # get's "src", else "dfr_src", if both are missing - None
print v
print tag
if v is None:
    continue
    print("v is NONE")
print(tag['src'])

A: Oh, boy. You picked the wrong site to scrape from. :)
Google's Defenses
First off, Google is (obviously) Google. It knows web crawlers and web scrapers very well - its entire business is founded on them.
So it knows all of the tricks that ordinary people get up to, and more importantly has an important mandate to make sure nobody else except end users get their hands on their images.
Didn't pass a User-Agent header? Now Google knows you're a scraper bot that doesn't bother pretending to be a browser, and forbids you from accessing its content. That's why you got a 403: Forbidden error the first time - the server realised you were a bot and prevented you from accessing material. It's the simplest technique to block automated bots.
Google Builds Pages through Javascript
Don't have Javascript parsing capability (which Python requests, urllib and its ilk don't)? Now you can't view half your images because the way Google Image search results works (if you inspect the Network tab in your Chrome console as Google Images is loading) is that a few bundled requests are made to various content providers that then systematically add a src attribute to a placeholder img tag through inline obfuscated Javascript code.
At the very beginning of time, all of your images are essentially blank, with just a custom data-src attribute to coordinate activities. Requests are made to image source providers as soon as the browser begins to parse Javascript (because Google probably makes use of its own CDN, these images are transferred to your computer very quickly), and then page Javascript does the arduous task of chunking the received data, identifying which img placeholder it should go to and then updating src appropriately. These are all time-intensive operations, and I won't even pretend to know how Google can make them happen so fast (although note that messing with network throttling operations in Dev Tools on Chrome 48 can cause Google Images to hang, for some bizarre reason, so there's probably some major network-level code-fu going on over there).
These image source providers appear to begin with https://encrypted..., which doesn't seem to be something to worry about - it probably just means that Google applies a custom encryption scheme on the data as its being sent over the network on top of HTTPS, which is then decoded by the browser. Google practises end-to-end encryption beyond just HTTPS - I believe every layer of the stack works only with encrypted data, with encryption and decryption only at the final and entry point - and I wouldn't be surprised to see the same technology behind, for example, Google Accounts.
(Note: all the above comes from poking around in Chrome Dev Tools for a bit and spending time with de-obfuscators. I am not affiliated with Google, and my understanding is most likely probably incomplete or even woefully wrong.)
Without a bundled Javascript interpreter, it is safe to say that Google Images is effectively a blank wall.
Google's Final Dirty Trick
But now say you use a scraper that is capable of parsing and executing Javascript to update the page HTML - something like a headless browser (here's a list of such browsers). Can you still expect to be able to get all the images just by visiting the src?
Not exactly. Google Images embeds images in its result pages.
In other words, it does not link to other pages, it copies the images in textual format and literally writes down the image in base64 encoding. This reduces the number of connections needed significantly and improves page loading time.
You can see this for yourself if you navigate to Google Images, right click on any image, and hit Inspect element. Here's a typical HTML tag for an image on Google Images:
<img data-sz="f" name="m4qsOrXytYY2xM:" class="rg_i" alt="Image result for google images" jsaction="load:str.tbn" onload="google.aft&&google.aft(this)" src="data:image/jpeg;base64,[encoded data, 6716 characters]" style="width: 167px; height: 167px; margin-left: -7px; margin-right: -6px; margin-top: 0px;">

Note the massive wall of text buried in src. That is quite literally the image itself, written in base 64. When we see an image on our screen, we are actually viewing the result of this very text parsed and rendered by a suitable graphics engine. Modern browsers support decoding and rendering of base64-encoded URIs, so it's not a surprise you can literally copy-paste the relevant text into your address bar, hit Enter and view the image at once.
To get the image back, you can decode this wall of text (after suitably parsing it to remove the data:image/jpeg;base64,) using the base64 module in Python:
import base64
base64_string = ... # that monster you saw above
decoded_string = base64.b64decode(your_string)

You must also make sure to parse the image type appropriately from the start of the src attribute, write the decoded_string to a file and finally save it with the file extension you received from the data attribute. phew
tl;dr
Don't go after Google Images as your first major scraping project. It's

*

*hard. Wikipedia is much easier to get ahold of.

*in violation of their Terms of Service (although what scraping isn't? and note I am not a lawyer and this doesn't constitute legal advice) where they explicitly say

Don't misuse our Services. For example, don't interfere with our Services or try to access them using a method other than the interface and the instructions that we provide.

*really impossible to predict how to improve on. I wouldn't be surprised if Google was using additional authentication mechanisms even after spoofing a human browser as much as possible (for instance, a custom HTTP header), and no one except an anonymous rebellious Google employee eager to reduce his/her master to rubble (unlikely) could help you out then.

*significantly easier to use Google's provided Custom Search API, which lets you simply ask Google for a set of images programmatically without the hassle of scraping. This API is rate-limited to about a hundred requests a day, which is more than enough for a hobby project. Here are some instructions on how to use it for images. As a rule, use an API before considering scraping.

A: To scrape Google Images using requests and beautifulsoup libraries, you need to parse data from the page code, inside


The Autumn fair is now a well-established tradition in our school calendar and this year's edition took place on Friday 20th October.
A huge range of activities were on offer. These included a very popular haunted house, pony rides in the woods, games, competitions, live music in the background and also plenty of food on sale.
During the latter part of the event, the audience were treated to a repeat of the most outstanding performances from the "Morna's Got Talent" show that had taken place in the morning of the same day. These included Tatiana from Year 4, with her highly entertaining song that was chosen as the winning act.
All the funds raised in the Autumn fair will be donated to the "Lily Foundation". This charity, which supports research into mitochondrial disease, was chosen by our student council as the organisation that receives our support in this year's fair.
More funds were raised in the primary school Halloween dressing up day which took place on the 31st October.


The purpose of this thesis is to trace the effect of the real price of wastepaper on the quantity of wastepaper recycled, under the framework of secondary material market. A linear demand model of a national market for wastepaper was derived from the industry's production function, and a linear supply function was also derived from past wastes and flows of current waste streams. An equilibrium price that determines the quantity of wastepaper recycled was obtained and illustrated. Two-stage least squares (2SLS) was used to obtain the values of structural parameters in the over-identified equations. The coefficient of the wastepaper price proved to be inelastic. As hypothesized, the real price of wastepaper has no effect on the quantity recycled. The result supported the argument of the past studies in questioning the effectiveness of current recycling policy of using price as an instrumental variable to adjust the recycling rate.

The sounds of clamoring birds and coyote.
Trees struggle against the wind.
Flies away, creating an uneasy updraft.
I love this little spot of water.
It used to be a seasonal river.
Utilized by natives and nature's children.
Progress found it a good site.
Sand pits. Dredged by machines.
Concrete mix, trucks and bulldozers.
And when it was time to leave it.
Someone said, "we'll leave the lake intact".
Dress it up with liquid amber and oak.
Eventually, it became a reserve.
Where humans are considered the intruder.
Leave the coyote and cougar alone.
The silent sound of warriors hunting game.

Dawg Fight
West Perrine, Florida is a suburban ghetto in Southwest Miami. Over 63% of its residents are African-American and the unemployment rate is three times higher than the national rate. Violent crimes occur on a daily basis in this neighborhood of less than two square miles, where much of its adult male population winds up dead or in prison before their 30th birthday. But there is hope in the hood... Dhafir 'Dada 5000' Harris has built a ring in his momma's backyard and transforms himself into the Don King of illegal backyard fights in Perrine". Dada 5000 (6'3", 270lbs., bench presses 670lbs) grew up blocks away from Perrine's MMA sensation, Kimbo Slice, and spent a year traveling the world as Kimbo's bodyguard. When Kimbo's manager buried video of Dada's spectacular backyard fight debut, for fear of Dada overshadowing his rising superstar, Dada leaves Kimbo's crew and makes a life-changing decisión. In his ring there is no doctors, no ambulance. Just two men in a 12'x12' ring battling in a savage bare-knuckle fight to the finish. Dada's gladiators give everything in the the backyard to feed their families and to try to fight their way out of hood. Meanwhile Dada returns to the ring, is discovered by professional scouts and gets his shot at turning pro in the octagon at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.
Virunga
A group of brave individuals risk their lives to save the last of the world's mountain gorillas; in the midst of renewed civil war and a scramble for Congo's natural resources." Virunga National Park in the Congo is a place of unique natural beauty. It is the home to a plethora of wonderful animals and vegetation but as is so often the way, it has several serious problems that threaten it. It's the location of human violence, corruption and exploitation. The disasters that specifically loom are two different groups, the M23 and SOCO International. The former are a violent rebel force who engages in an ongoing civil war with the Congolese government and the latter are a British energy company who specialise in oil exploration. Both M23 and SOCO invade the park in their own ways and neither seems very interested in the laws that have been set up to protect the flora and fauna that exist there, far less the people who live there. It seems hardly surprising in the case of M23, as they are a paramilitary organisation who can hardly be expected to be concerned with such things but it is the more legitimate big business SOCO who seem more worrying if anything. We discover in fact that they have been involved in a bribery campaign, utilising M23 as enforcers. It's a very murky situation where big money walks all over an impoverished nation and disregards a natural space that they can see no value in in their pursuit of financial profit.
Africa Fishing Leopards
David Attenborough narrates the intimate story of a leopard mother and her two cubs. This very special family must survive in the wilds of Botswana alongside some less-than-friendly neighbours: lions, wild dogs and hyenas. The competition for food is tough, and if they are going to make it they must learn a new skill - they must learn to fish. This is an epic family drama. With them every step of the way is local cameraman Brad Bestelink. Brad's 18-month journey following the lives of these secretive big cats offers a rare glimpse into an otherwise hidden world.

History of the World: Survival
Andrew Marr sets off on an epic journey through 70,000 years of human history. Using dramatic reconstructions, documentary filming around the world and cutting-edge computer graphics, he reveals the decisive moments that shaped the world we live in today, telling stories we thought we knew and others we were never told." Starting with our earliest beginnings in Africa, Marr traces the story of our nomadic ancestors as they spread out around the world and settled down to become the first farmers and townspeople. He uncovers extraordinary hand-prints left in European caves nearly 30,000 years ago and shows how human ingenuity led to inventions which are still with us today. He also discovers how the first civilisations were driven to extremes to try to overcome the forces of nature, adapting and surviving against the odds, and reveals how everyday life in ancient Egypt had more in common with today's soap operas than might be imagined.

Last updated September 20, 2017 .
Case Information: Omar Rodriguez v. State of Florida, No. 3D17-1633 (Florida Court of Appeal brief filed Sept. 20, 2017).
At Issue: Florida's "shoot first" Stand Your Ground law allows a person to use deadly force in public in self-defense, even if the person is safely able to avoid a confrontation by retreating. Florida's extreme version of this law gained notoriety in 2012 after an unarmed 17-year-old, Trayvon Martin, was killed by a shooter who followed Martin through his own neighborhood, then claimed he needed to shoot the teen in self-defense. In 2017, Florida's legislature passed an even more extreme amendment to Stand Your Ground: a "burden-shifting" law that would require prosecutors to prove at a pretrial hearing that a criminal defendant who shot someone is not entitled to immunity from prosecution. This reverses the existing procedure, where defendants who use deadly force need to make an initial showing that Stand Your Ground applies to them. Fortunately, a trial court struck down the dangerous amendment as violating the separation-of-powers doctrine. Supporters of the amendment recently appealed that decision to Florida's intermediate appellate court.
The Law Center's Brief: The Law Center filed a brief arguing that the trial court correctly determined that Florida's extreme new amendments to the Stand Your Ground law are unconstitutional. The stakes are high: the 2017 amendment would require prosecutors to prove a negative, significantly expanding the universe of those who avoid prosecution after using lethal force, even if they did so recklessly or unnecessarily. As the Law Center's brief argued, the amendment plainly violates the Florida constitution's separation-of-powers provisions. The constitution allows the legislature to make substantive law, while specifically reserving to the judiciary the ability to make procedural rules for the courts. Because the legislature's burden-shifting amendment usurped the core judicial function of setting court procedures, the amendment was unconstitutional and must be invalidated.

25 Years Strong: CASA of the Pikes Peak Region
Justin Coughlin
In 1979, Judge David Soukp, of Washington, saw a need for abused and neglected children to have better personal and meaningful representation in court. The Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) movement was born to fulfill this need. To date, there are 933 programs with more than 77,000 CASA volunteers who have advocated for approximately 234,000 abused and neglected children nationwide.
In the late 1980s, a study conducted by the Junior League of Colorado Springs revealed that victims of child abuse in El Paso and Teller Counties did not have sufficient advocacy in the court system. In order to serve that need, El Pomar Foundation and the Junior League provided seed funding, in 1989, to support the development of CASA of the Pikes Peak Region. Trudy Strewler Hodges (no hyphen) was the organization's first employee, hired to train CASA's first 21 volunteers, and has been with the organization since inception. This year, CASA of the Pikes Peak Region is celebrating its 25th anniversary, giving reason for the community to appreciate the dedication of countless volunteers that have improved the lives of over 10,000 children. Over the years, CASA of the Pikes Peak Region has expanded its reach to provide a continuum of care for young victims and is seen as a model for other CASA organizations across the country.
In continuing its legacy, CASA looks to the future and has a lofty goal to serve "every child, every day, every year" in the Pikes Peak region by 2020.

Four Beats 1 radio shows to tune into

By Cat Cardenas
In the race to become the best streaming service, Apple Music has set itself apart with its most traditional feature — radio. Beats 1 radio, a free 24-hour radio station, leaves music choices up to disc jockeys and musicians, such as Elton John and Dr. Dre.
With these shows, fans can connect with their favorite artists through their music recommendations. Check out these four artist-hosted radio shows.
St. Vincent's Mixtape Delivery Service
Whether you're in need of some dance party music or the quintessential road trip soundtrack, St. Vincent has you covered. Anyone can submit a request for a mixtape by letting St. Vincent's Annie Clark know what's going on in their lives.
Each week, a mixtape recipient is selected, and Clark calls them up, getting to know them as they procure the perfect playlist. Clark's conversations with the recipients are genuine, bringing the eccentric singer back down to earth. Even if your mixtape request isn't chosen, her playlists' diversity avoids alienating listeners and suit a variety of occasions.
Pharrell Williams and Steve Venner's OTHERtone
Surprise guests Cara Delevingne and Justin Timberlake kicked off OTHERtone by beatboxing. Part jam session, part discussion, William's said the radio show exposes people to music they might not hear anywhere else. Following through on his promise, the show debuted Jamie Woon's "Sharpness." Throughout the show, the group had in-depth conversations about the music they were playing, offering insight into music production and speaking about what music means to them.
Time Crisis with Ezra Koenig
The Vampire Weekend frontman's show has a traditional formula but provides honest and funny content. Comedians, actors and musicians are invited to discuss anything and everything.
In the first episode, Rashida Jones tells a story about Michael Jackson's chimp, Bubbles, and comedians analyze iTunes' top five songs. The bi-weekly show's casual atmosphere allows fans to feel like they've been let in on the celebrities' conversations. In terms of his DJ abilities, Koenig has a pension for oldies, such as Billy Joel and ABBA, but also played newer artists, such as Rihanna, and debuted a song by rapper Despot.
The Pharmacy with Dr. Dre
Focused on West Coast music, The Pharmacy is essential for any hip-hop fans. Producer and rapper Dr. Dre hosts the show, which features a mix of old and new rap artists — from Tupac to Kendrick Lamar. The show also provides insight into Dr. Dre's roots and inspiration, playing a tribute to the late producer J Dilla and discussing the upcoming "Straight Outta Compton" movie. Although the songs have yet to be featured on the show, Dr. Dre recently made Apple Music the first supplier of his 1992 album, The Chronic.

CARES Act Relief Funds Will Come with Increased Government Scrutiny
National emergency relief funds are typically accompanied by increased government scrutiny – and funds distributed under the CARES Act, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, will be no exception. The government will be keeping a watchful eye over the disbursement and use of relief funds.
The CARES Act created three oversight bodies:
The Special Inspector General for Pandemic Response (the "Special Inspector General");
The Pandemic Response Accountability Committee (PRAC); and
Congressional Oversight Commission.
These three bodies will be responsible for ensuring CARES Act relief funds are distributed and utilized properly. Companies should anticipate strict government oversight over the application for and use of relief funds. Oversight measures could be in the form of targeted audits, investigations, and enforcement measures. They could also be in the form of whistleblower reports regarding misuse, waste, or fraud.
Under the CARES Act, the Special Inspector General's duty is to "conduct, supervise, and coordinate audits and investigations of the making, purchase, management, and sale of loan guarantees and other investments" made by the Treasury Department pursuant to the Act. President Trump recently nominated Brian Miller to be the Special Inspector General.
PRAC's investigative focus will be on detecting and preventing "fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement" of funds provided under the Act. PRAC is authorized to use Inspectors General from other government agencies to conduct such investigations. It also has its own power to conduct investigations related to relief funds.
Finally, the Congressional Oversight Commission's investigative focus will be on whether private individuals and companies receiving relief funds have conformed to the Act's requirements.
The accountability provisions established by the CARES Act are not novel – but rather, were modeled on similar provisions in the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. More specifically, the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) within the 2008 Act created a Special Inspector General for TARP -- whose role was to ensure the proper use of TARP funds through investigations, audits, and enforcement actions.
The Special Inspector General for TARP was, and still is, an incredibly active investigative body. Its investigations span from wire, bank, and mail fraud to money laundering, embezzlement, and bribery. One of the broadest tools utilized by the Special Inspector General has been the False Claims Act ("FCA"). The FCA is the primary statute used to prevent fraud against the government. As of the first quarter of 2020, investigations initiated by the Special Inspector General for TARP have resulted in the collection of $11 billion and 381 criminal convictions.
With the rush to obtain liquidity through CARES Act funds, one can expect increased government scrutiny over applications for such funds. As with TARP, the newly created Special Inspector General will utilize its investigative powers and a number of statutory provisions – like the FCA, wire, bank, and mail fraud – to ensure relief funds were properly obtained and utilized.
When applying for relief funds through the CARES Act, it is important that businesses have safeguards in place to ensure applications are completed correctly and accurately. Internal oversight should also be implemented to guarantee that the relief funds are being used for the proper purpose and are not being diverted, co-mingled, or misused.

The Modern Alternative was privileged to get a good clear view of the Bloodstock début of The King Is Blind this past weekend. A video of the set opener, "Mors Somnis" can be seen further down the page. This was shot spontaneously with a regular camera and, albeit a little shaky, the raw footage gives an insight into the performance, without any visual or audio retouching.
The band feature current and ex-members from a number of the most notable metal bands from around Essex and East Anglia, with a great many years of experience between them.
The debut EP from The King Is Blind, "The Deficiencies Of Man" will be released by Mordgrimm on 1st of September and is destined to be the talk of many metal fans, our prediction is that they are heading for greatness! A taster of the EP is currently available to stream here.

Autumn weather has the Bay's gamefish acting accordingly, or at least beginning to. If you can avoid what to this angler seems to be a perpetual wind tunnel, you're likely to have a successful trip. On three outings last week, I found plenty of rockfish in the lower Chester and Eastern Bay in spite of tough conditions. Most rockfish were schoolies, shy of the 19-inch minimum. Out of the wind in the Wye River, we scratched out a better grade. I also found a nice knot of fish off of the Hickory Thickets in 15 to 22 feet of water, but I caught the wrong tide and couldn't get them to eat.
In Maryland's part of the Bay, waters are cooling down, so you should catch keeper bluefish and rockfish jigging or plugging from Tangier Sound and Choptank River to the Chester and Patapsco rivers. I predict an even better grade of stripers will move into the shallows and hammer topwater and swimming plugs such as X-Raps, MirroLures, and Smack-its in the next few weeks.
More fishermen have switched to trolling bucktails and parachutes or swim baits rigged in tandem. ; Spoons on inline sinkers or planers are a good choice. Contrasting heads are catching better. Try channel edges in 25 to 40 feet.
Want some bluefish to smoke? Then, do like my buddy and his son did Sunday off of James Island—Anchor over structure (they fished off James Island) and fish with cut bait. They got plenty of tailor bluefishs pushing six pounds.
Buoys 83 and 85a have some breaking rockfish and blues. All of the popular spots—Podickory, Love Point, Thomas Point —are holding catfish and white perch along with some blues and rock. Spot are still around, but it's anyone's guess for how much longer. Those large cobia and big red drum that were popping up along the MD/VA line are pretty much done.
On the coast, head boats report that sea bass are snapping on the wrecks and reefs. Sheepshead, blues, and some flounder are biting at the South Jetty in Ocean City, which is where Captain. Monty Hawkins of the Morning Star sails from. His party caught limits of sea bass Saturday, Sunday and Monday, including doubles of jumbos. Big flounder are harder to come by. Mahi-Mahi were abundant from the weekend through Tuesday. You'll find them under lobster trap buoys balls at the 100-fathom line.
Richard Hammond and friends went six for eight on white marlin at the Washington Canyon the other day, and they boxed four chunky dolphin. I haven't heard much on tuna.
Virginia Beach anglers are catching smoker king mackerel. Oceans East Bait & Tackle checked in a 49-pounder the other day. Some anglers are having success trolling for kings, big Spanish mackerel and even some dolphin at the Chesapeake light tower. Surf and pier anglers are catching the season's last sheepshead, spot, black drum, croakers, and whiting. Soak fresh mullet for the best results.
Gorgeous weather and accommodating gamefish marked the 2018 Red/ Trout Fishing Tournament held this past weekend out of Crisfield. The Maryland Coastal Conservation Association Maryland event, now in its sixth year, draws light tackle, fly, and kayak anglers to Tangier Sound's fish-rich waters. Doug Greiner earned Top Overall Angler by completing the closest to a complete "Crisfield Slam," meaning he caught three of the six qualifying gamefish species and had the longest cumulative length of : red drum; spotted sea trout; weakfish, striper, bluefish, and flounder, including a 20 ½-inch striper, a 12-inch bluefish and a 49 3/8-inch redfish. A complete Crisfield Slam would include a redfish, bluefish, spotted sea trout, weakfish and a flounder. Shawn Kimbro's crew won the team award with three fish totaling 64 inches. Mike Dunlap took the fly loot with three fish totaling 46 7/8 inches. Chesapeake Bay Magazine was on-hand to help judge the event.
