Doubling Down on Domestic Dredging
U.S. dredgers weigh in on infrastructure, U.S. capabilities and the road ahead.
Domestic dredging firms face many challenges in the coming months and years. At the same time, opportunities abound in a market and political climate that seems to beg for infrastructure upgrades, especially when it comes to harbors and inland waterways. Weighing in this edition on all of that – and more – are three U.S.-based dredging firms; Callan Marine, Cashman Dredging, and Weeks Marine.
Cranford, N.J.-based Weeks Marine, Inc. (WMI) is a family-owned company with roots on the New York City waterfront extending back to 1919. Today, WMI has offices and repair yards in the North Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, Hawaii and Ontario, Canada. Eric Ellefsen is the President of Weeks. The company has three key divisions – Construction, Dredging and Marine Services – as well as two major subsidiaries, Healy Tibbitts Builders, Inc. and McNally International, Inc.
Jay Cashman is the Founder and chairman of the board at Cashman Dredging. Cashman Dredging's history dates back to the late 1800s. Over time, the company has evolved and began performing marine construction in the 1970s after the Blizzard of '78 destroyed seawalls and jetties throughout New England. Soon, Cashman was performing multi-million dollar projects such as construction of a new marine facility for the Martha's Vineyard Steamship Authority. Today, Cashman Dredging and Marine Contracting provide an array of integrated solutions ranging from navigational, maintenance and environmental dredging, to pond and industrial dredging.
Maxie McGuire is President of Callan Marine, LTD. This Texas-based and family-owned dredging business was founded in 2009. Callan Marine performs dredging projects for both private and public clients by providing services to restore berthing depths for ship docks and navigation channels. This year, Callan is partnering with Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation on the San Jacinto River in Houston. Through the ongoing construction of the General MacArthur, Callan Marine will enter into the large dredging market in the areas of major waterways, beach reclamation, and wetland restoration. Separately, the recent acquisition of Bean Coastal and their management team will allow Callan Marine to continue its penetration into the dredging industry, as it establishes new standards for efficiency and effectiveness.
Listen in as the voices of the U.S. dredging industry weigh in on the most pressing issues of the day:
Does the United States today have the collective dredging capacity to accomplish all of the maintenance dredging and the increasing number of deepening projects that are being started in the response to the Panama Canal Expansion?
Jay Cashman: Yes, we do. The dredging industry is continuously building vessels and equipment. We keep up with demand.
Maxie McGuire: Yes, there is adequate fleet capacity as well as a significant amount of new builds in progress and recently entering the market due to the increase in funding for our nation's infrastructure investments. We're able to make investment decisions that will carry based on a level of certainty that we are comfortable with.
Eric Ellefsen: The U.S. industry has proven it is large enough to complete all of the Nation's maintenance dredging and new work dredging in our ship channels. Land reclamation, mostly shore protection on the beaches, has also been a growth market that the industry continues to respond to. In fact, navigation interests will benefit from the ongoing industry investment to better serve the reclamation market. There will always be either unforeseen, or unprepared for, challenges that might produce a short-term hopper dredge shortage on occasion. In the winter, when every entrance channel in the South Atlantic must be maintained over a four-month period due to an environmental window, coupled with a simultaneous rise in the Mississippi River, sometimes puts a little stress on the hopper dredging sector. However, industry works closely with the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) to mobilize dredges from other projects to address these national needs. Today, the Corps Ready Reserve dredge Wheeler supplies that fire truck response in the Lower Mississippi. In the future, we believe the Corps could save money by using a private sector solution; for example, using a proven ready reserve approach. We are working with the Corps and other interested parties on an industry first solution.
What's your fleet renewal strategy and are you planning any newbuilds in the near term? Tell us about your newest assets and what's coming next.
MM: We are currently building a large market cutter suction dredge, the General MacArthur, for new work, land reclamation, beach renourishment, and maintenance dredging. It is expected to be commissioned in Q2-Q3 2019. Our other assets are new, as well, dating back to 2018, 2017, and 2009 respectively. The General MacArthur is currently under construction at C&C shipyard in Louisiana.
EE: Weeks has been making major investments over the last decade, both in dredging vessels and all the support equipment necessary to perform major dredging projects. Ancillary equipment, including boosters, barges, boats and miles of discharge pipeline are an essential component of any dredging operation. Every Weeks dredge makes use of advanced automation, and ever more powerful and fuel-efficient engines to drive both propulsion and pumps. Our newest hopper dredge, MAGDALEN, just went to work on the Atlantic Coast this year (2018). She was built in Eastern Shipyard, Panama City, FL, and is the size of our two existing hopper dredges combined. She is fast, shallow draft, and can pump out over long distances, thereby reducing the need for booster pumps. We are very happy with her early performance and look forward to seeing all that she will do the years ahead. Both the modernized and highly automated BE Lindhom and RN Weeks will continue to be an important part of our workhorse hopper dredge fleet. We are also building another large sea-going pipeline dredge at C&C Marine in Belle Chase, La.. While Weeks has a large fleet of cutter suction dredges, the JS Chatry will be the most advanced. In July 2012, the CR McCaskill entered our ocean-going cutter suction pipeline dredge fleet. For the last six years, she has been working almost non-stop on projects around the country. The Chatry builds on the capabilities built into the McCaskill and will join our fleet sometime next year.
JC: We recently completed major upgrades to our fleet. We are finishing design plans on a new 5,000 cubic yard hopper dredge. We intend to begin construction on the first of two 5000 cubic yard hopper dredges in the spring of 2019. We've already begun machinery acquisition and started the procurement process for long lead-time equipment.
The use, placement and disposal of dredge materials can be a hot issue. Often, that decision has been made during the pre-project EIA and is out of your hands. How, if at all does a commercial dredger get involved in these issues?
EE: Controversies over the placement of dredged material have lessened over the years as the agencies have become more comfortable with beneficial uses of dredged material for environmental enhancement or restoration. The use of sediment beneficially, including the placement of beach quality sand, has had a dramatic impact on our capital investments over the last 20 years. In a competitive market, we have put more power on the dredge and booster pumps and significantly enhanced the capabilities of our fleet of support equipment. These more complicated projects also require more highly trained surveyors and heavy equipment operators at the placement site.
We do not usually get involved in the project planning process. However, if an agency or engineering firm wants to know whether their plan is buildable, or the relative costs of various placement alternatives, they will often call our estimators for advice. We want to help find solutions that work for everyone.
MM: We have relationships with our clients, engineers, and the permitting agencies, so we try to help our customers with education and planning so they are prepared when the time comes to execute their projects.
Describe your fleet and operational equipment mix. Do you specialize in one form or dredging over another?
JC: Cashman is the premier bucket and environmental dredging company in the United States. We have bucket dredge sizes of 4 yards to 50 yards; two backhoe dredges of 5 yards to 18 yards; one hopper dredge; and five environmental bucket dredges. We're proud to have completed the largest environmental remediation dredging project in U.S. History – the Upper Hudson River PCB remediation project for GE. Aside from environmental, Cashman does all types of dredging including navigation (Arthur Kill Channel for access to Port of NYNJ), beach renourishment (Florida) and pond & industrial work (Maryland).
IB We own three small cutter suction dredges (General Pershing (18", 1,565hp), General Patton (16", 3,000hp), and General Eisenhower (12", 1,500hp), sized 18", 16", and 12". Our dredges have the capability to dredge to 56' and have dual dredge pumps for maximizing efficiency. We specialize in deep draft ship dock dredging; both new work and maintenance.
What is the most pressing issue on your plate during this calendar year?
MM: Given the very low unemployment rate, recruiting is a big issue.
JC: We are always looking to innovate at Cashman. We recently developed and presented to industry the Scow Geofence System (SGS). Out split-hull scows will not dump unless they are within the predetermined geofenced ocean disposal area. That's something we've just completed. What comes next is even bigger as we turn our attention to hopper dredge design and construction.
The USACE performs a good portion of U.S. dredging, yet the private sector is a critical part of the overall equation. Where do your projects emanate from – government or commercial?
JC: It's really a combination of all types of dredging depending on the year. For instance, we just kicked off the second phase of the Boston Harbor deepening project and we're using the largest crane and bucket dredge combination in North America. We're also working on the Flushing Bay dredging project cleaning out the southern portion of the East River for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection. We do it all.
MM: Our work is a mixture of government and private work, with private being approximately 75 percent of our work this year. In 2019, that will shift to a 75 percent government share, given the size and production capacity of the General MacArthur.

Location-Based Triggers (iBeacons, RFID, etc.) are all the rage these days. Article after article touts the use of iBeacons, and other LBTs, to activate devices and apps base on your current, granular location. Beacons, among other LBTs, are able to transmit small amounts of data to devices listening for triggers. A device or app listening for these triggers is able to show content based on the payload it recieves.
Good News: LBTs are a great idea, and offer developers a ton of functionality the can use to create immersive, contextually relevant, user experiences.
Bad News: In my work with LBTs, it became immediately clear platforms like Android and iOS implement these features in a way that is inherently high-friction, largely tied to apps, and fraught with disjoint, lacklustre UX paradigms.

Q: How do I make a tkinter entry widget? This is my code:
import random
from tkinter import *
root=Tk()
a=Canvas(root, width=1000, height=1000)
a.pack()
e = Entry(root)
paralist = []
x=random.randint(1,10)
file = open("groupproject.txt")
line = file.readline()
for line in file:
    paralist.append(line.replace("\n", ""));

a.create_text(500,50, text = "Typing Fun", width = 700, font = "Verdana", fill = "purple")
a.create_text(500,300, text = paralist[x], width = 700, font = "Times", fill = "purple")

#master = Tk()
#a = Entry(master)
#a.pack()
#a.focus_set()
#def callback():
#    print (a.get())

root.mainloop()

The commented section is supposed to print an entry widget underneath a paragraph but instead it gives an error IndexError: list index out of range for line a.create_text(500,300, text = paralist[x], width = 700, font = "Times", fill = "purple"). If I use e instead of a it works but opens the entry widget in a separate window.
I'm trying to make the tkinter entry widget appear in the same window as the text. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

A: First off,
paralist = []
The list is empty so a random word between 1 and 10 will be wrong since theres nothing in the list.
master = Tk() # since Tk() is already assigned to root this will make a new window
a = Entry(master) # a is already assigned to canvas
a.pack() # this is already declare under a=canvas
a.focus_set()
def callback():
    print (a.get())

Edit:
I suspect that your file might be the problem. This code:
import random
from tkinter import *

root = Tk()

a = Canvas(root, width = 400, height = 400)
a.pack()
e = Entry(root)
e.pack()

paralist = []

x = random.randint(1,10)

file = open("teste.txt")
line = file.readline()

for line in file:
    paralist.append(line.replace("\n", ""));

a.create_text(200,50, text = "Typing Fun", width = 700, font = "Verdana", fill = "purple")
a.create_text(200,300, text = paralist[x], width = 700, font = "Times", fill = "purple")

b = Entry(root)
b.pack()
b.focus_set()

def callback():
    print (a.get())

root.mainloop()

With this as "teste.txt":
test0
test1
test2
test3
test4
test5
test6
test7
test8
test9
test10

Works fine for me.

A: import tkinter
window = tkinter. Tk()
window.geometry('200x200')
ent= tkinter.Entry(window)
ent.pack()

This is the easiest way to do it in tkinter. If you need something else Just ask me:)

Laura Cermak
CHRISTENDOM COLLEGE, Class of 2019
Things to know about Laura
Laura will be a junior this fall at Christendom College, where she is majoring in political science and economics. She is a member of the Chester-Belloc Debate Society and Cincinnatus League, Christendom's Intercollegiate Studies Institute (ISI) chapter. Laura also directs Christendom's Crusader Chamber Orchestra. She is passionate about Latin and Greek, and she loves participating in study abroad programs and mission trips. Laura was a 2016 Honors Scholar with ISI. Laura is very interested in studying law and cannot wait to start a career in Washington, D.C. promoting conservative policy and values.
"Initiate conversations with peers and professors—conservatives, liberals, anyone who cares to discuss these important ideas. The Intercollegiate Studies Institute is a perfect avenue for that."
How did you find out about ISI?
I was invited to join Christendom's ISI chapter, Cincinnatus League, at the beginning of freshman year. After the first semester of book club meetings, our chapter president recommended that I apply for the Honors Program. Since the 2016 Honors Conference, I've also attended weekend colloquia co-sponsored by the Liberty Fund, and it's been a great blessing to be part of the ISI community. What attracted me to ISI's programming was the fantastic reading list and the chance to discuss conservative ideas with students and professors from all over the country.
What was the highlight of your undergraduate experience?
In the summer of 2016 I attended the St. Columcille Institute, a three-week study abroad program in Co. Donegal, Ireland. We had a small, tight-knit group and our professors were like family. We studied the history and literature of Ireland and Catholic apologetics. We explored the grounds of the monastery where we lived, ate, and studied. We sang and danced and read poetry and visited Irish towns and castles. We even went swimming in the ocean, chilly as it was up on the northern coast. Best of all, we got to pray and grow closer to God in the land of St. Columcille and St. Patrick.
What have you valued most about your ISI experience?
ISI has introduced me to the great authors and seminal works of American conservatism. ISI has also given me an unparalleled opportunity for fellowship and dialogue with fellow young conservatives. The lectures, seminars, and spontaneous discussions during hospitality at the conferences have enriched and encouraged me and my peers in pursuing the life of the mind.
How have you spent your summers while in college?
Last summer, in addition to the ISI Honors Conference and the St. Columcille Institute, I interned at the Institute of Catholic Culture in Front Royal, VA. The institute provides free, college-level, solidly Catholic educational programs, and it was very rewarding to help the institute transition to a new website and reach a wider audience. This summer I interned at The Heritage Foundation, working with Ryan Anderson and the entire research team in the DeVos Center for Religion & Civil Society. I loved tracking legislation and court cases concerning religious liberty and pro-life, pro-family policy. I also had the opportunity to review commentary articles and Ryan Anderson's next book, When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment.
Whom do you admire most, and why?
I have so many people in my life who have inspired me, whom I pray I can emulate. But most of all, I admire Dr. Brendan McGuire. He is an alumnus and history professor of Christendom College, and though he is only in his mid-30s, he is a three-time survivor of an exceedingly rare bone cancer. He is a husband and father of three children, and he is a teacher and role model of hundreds of Christendom students, who all love him as family. He is the smartest, most articulate person you'll ever meet, his laughter and bagpipe playing brighten up all of campus, and if anyone is feeling low, he's the first to notice and the first to reach out and support.
What advice would you give to other students who want to preserve the principles of liberty?
First, read and study the writings that established the conservative movement in America and that shaped Western culture as a whole. Secondly, initiate conversations with peers and professors—conservatives, liberals, anyone who cares to discuss these important ideas. ISI is a perfect avenue to achieve these two goals. Finally, seize opportunities to intern and volunteer in conservative organizations. Find out what you're good at and where your passions lie. And whatever your work, whatever you do, have in the forefront of your mind what kind of person you want to be.

All of us are facing very uncertain times and challenges. At Arkansas Health & Wellness, we are dedicated to working closely with our partners and providing information, resources, and assistance that will help identify solutions for many of these challenges.
The United States Congress passed a landmark stimulus package, known as the CARES Act, which directs financial assistance and relief in the form of Economic Injury and Disaster Loans (EIDLs) and a Paycheck Protection Program.
The economic impact of the novel coronavirus on the economy is devastating. You, the provider, are on the front line and immediate economic relief is essential. There is a great deal of information and unfortunately, confusion, surrounding exactly how a small business can accurately apply and qualify for this assistance in a quick and expedient manner. It is our goal to help you navigate this process.
We have secured the services of a national consulting firm to assist in educating and bringing valuable and necessary information to provide an overview of the programs and the application process. Our consultant, Hector Barreto, former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, has been engaged to guide these efforts. As SBA Administrator, Barreto oversaw a loan portfolio in excess of $60 billion and managed the agency's assistance to thousands of small businesses following disasters such as the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center and Hurricane Katrina. Based in California, Administrator Barreto is past Chair and a longtime board member of one of the largest Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) in the United States. His knowledge and experience in healthcare and the Small Business Administration is an invaluable resource to our provider partners.
The information provided does not represent all of the information available or that you may need for making your financial decisions or completing your application. The Federal and State government(s) are best able to provide resources and assistance. We recommended that you contact your financial institution or advisor before making any financial decisions.
Presentations will provide an overview and direction to the stimulus package, available financial programs and assistance, and information on how to apply for loans and grants.
Webinars will be targeted to Safety Net providers including, but not limited to:
Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs)
Behavioral health providers and community-based behavioral health organizations
Centers for Independent Living (CILs)
Long-term service and supports organizations operating on the front lines of the pandemic
Recorded webinars will be available here soon.
Whether you participate in a webinar or simply review this page for facilitating the education of the CARES Act and application for an SBA Loan or Paycheck Protection Plan, you will need to understand more about each program. Here is an overview of these two major programs:
Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs)
The CARES Act temporarily expands eligibility for SBA Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs).
What: An emergency loan program for federal disasters expanded to specifically include COVID-19. This program offers up to $2 million in assistance for fixed debts, payroll, and other account expenses with an interest rate of 3.75 percent for small businesses and 2.75 percent for nonprofits.
Changes: The CARES Act opened EIDLs to more types of small businesses, made it easier to apply, and EIDLs smaller than $200,000 can be approved without a personal guarantee.
Grants: Through the SBA Economic Injury Emergency Grant Program, businesses can receive an emergency advance of up to $10,000 for small businesses and private nonprofits harmed by COVID-19 within three days of applying for an SBA EIDL.
How to access: Applicants must first apply for an EIDL and then request the advance. The advance does not need to be repaid under any circumstance, and may be used to keep employees on payroll, to pay for sick leave, meet increased production costs due to supply chain disruptions, or pay business obligations, including debts, rent and mortgage payments. (Special conditions apply, including maintaining employees.)
Who is eligible: Small businesses with fewer than 500 employees (including sole proprietors with or without employees), independent contractors, cooperatives and employee owned businesses, private nonprofits, and tribal small businesses impacted by COVID-19.
How to apply - SBA Resources:
NEW - Guide to SBA's Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL)
NEW - Guide to the Employee Retention Tax Credit
SBA Application Portal
The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP)
What: Provides small businesses with funds in the form of loans to pay up to eight (8) weeks of payroll costs including benefits. Funds can also be used to pay interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities.
When available: Small businesses and sole proprietorships can apply on April 3, 2020. Starting April 10, 2020, independent contractors and self-employed individuals can apply. [Check specific rules regarding application and financial institution requirements.]
Who is eligible: Small businesses with 500 or fewer employees—including nonprofits, veterans' organizations, tribal concerns, self-employed individuals, sole proprietorships, and independent contractors—are eligible. Businesses with more than 500 employees are eligible in certain industries.
Applicants are being restricted based upon certain criteria of when applicants were in business and service of employees. For example, businesses will be able to apply if they were harmed by COVID-19 between February 15, 2020 and June 30, 2020. This program is retroactive to February 15, 2020 in order to help bring workers who may have already been laid off back onto payrolls. Loans are available through June 30, 2020. Other restrictions apply and can be addressed in webinars, consultations, or applicants can seek qualification through other information available through the SBA and Treasury Department.
Paycheck Protection Plan Conditions: Loans are available up to $10 million 100% loan forgiveness, only if a business sustains its pre-COVID-19 payroll levels through June 30, 2020. Loans can be forgiven when used for payroll costs, interest on mortgages, rent, and utilities (at least 75% of the forgiven amount must have been used for payroll).
Applicants are eligible to apply for both an EIDL and PPP.
How to apply: Apply through any existing SBA 7(a) lender or through any federally insured depository institution, federally insured credit union, and Farm Credit System institution that is participating. Other regulated lenders will be available to make these loans once they are approved and enrolled in the program. You should consult with your local lender as to whether it is participating. Many lenders are ONLY processing applications with customers currently holding loans with their institution.

Weymouth, Dorchester & Portland in the Great War
Jacqueline Wadsworth
Your Towns & Cities in the Great War
Dimensions : 9.21 X 6.14 inches
When war was declared in 1914, the people of South Dorset were taken by surprise. Initially, there was excitement as the garrison town of Dorchester sprang to life, and Britain's Grand Fleet steamed from Portland Harbour to its war stations in the North Sea. But when the fervor subsided, what was it like for ordinary people? This book describes how they settled down with purpose to a life at war.
Traders made the most of new markets, and women learned to cope not only with food shortages and blackouts, but the constant fear that their loved ones wouldn't return. Many threw themselves into the war effort.
An enormous prisoner of war camp was established on the edge of Dorchester; wounded Australian soldiers were sent to recover in Weymouth, where they became firm favourites with the ladies; and soldiers billeted in Portland homes didn't always treat their hosts with the respect they deserved.
Included in the book are the stories of a German spy who slipped through the net at Wyke; a teenage soldier shot dead by his friend; a scandal at a local military hospital; the touching friendship that developed between a nurse and a wounded Belgian; and what everyday life was like at Weymouth Torpedo Works.
This warm account of life in Dorchester, Weymouth and Portland during the Great War ensures that the people at home, who lived through those five dreadful years of conflict, are remembered, too.

Q: Issue with Perl File::stat output, need to show date I am having an issue with getting File::stat to output the last modified date of the file. This is my code so far:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Time::localtime;
use File::stat;
use warnings;
use File::Find;

my $dirloc = 'E:\tmp\testdir';

sub find_txt {
    my $F = $File::Find::name;
    if ( ! -d $F && $F =~ /.tar|.exe|.zip/ ) {
        my @result = $F;

        foreach my $result (@result){
            my $timestamp;
            $timestamp = (stat("$result"))->[9] or die "No $_: $!";
            print "$result : $timestamp\n";

        }
    }
}

find({wanted => \&find_txt}, $dirloc);

It is outputing something like this:
C:/tmp/testdir/foo/bar/test.tar : 1415305933
I need it to output instead (date format doesn't have to be what is listed, i just want to see the date):
C:/tmp/testdir/foo/bar/test.tar : 11/07/2014
I know that the output it is giving me is the time since epoch but I thought stat was supposed to give the date. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!
edit: I have tried localtime, and i get: Time::tm=ARRAY(0x245b220), not sure what is happening there

A: You can use the localtime (Note: not Time::localtime) function to convert the timestamp into something useful
my $date = localtime $timestamp

which will make it a human readable string like Fri Nov 7 15:33:00 2014
Or you can use it in a list context to spit it into individual fields:
my($sec, $min, $hour, $day, $month, $year, $weekday, $yearOfDay, $isDST) = localtime $timestamp


Another Trump Miracle – January 2019 Saw Stocks Rise More than Any January on Record in History of DOW!!
President Trump is Making America Great Again! January's stock market gains were the greatest ever for a January in the more than 100 years of the DOW. Percentage-wise, January 2019 was the best January in 30 years!
Wall Street stocks finished a banner month on a mostly positive note Thursday (Jan 31), with the Dow notching its best January in 30 years, reversing the bruising finale to 2018.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended the month at 24,999.67, a 0.1 per cent dip for the session, but up 7.2 percent for all of January.
The broad-based S&P 500 closed at 2,704.10, up 0.9 per cent for the session and 7.9 per cent for the month.
The tech-rich Nasdaq Composite performed even better, closing the month at 7,281.74, up 1.4 per cent for the session and 9.7 per cent for the month.
The highlights of the session included banner results from Facebook that lifted the social media giant 10.8 per cent.
Stocks also picked up momentum late in the session when President Donald Trump hailed "tremendous" progress in US-China trade negotiations held over the last two days in Washington.
U.S. stocks closed mostly higher Thursday, with the S&P 500 notching its best January in over three decades, after the Federal Reserve signaled that rate increases are on pause and that its next policy move will depend on economic data.
The actual results are even more shocking when looking at point rises. For the month the DOW, for example, increased by more than 1,600 points. This is the most the DOW has increased in the month of January in its over 100 year history. The DOW ended 2018 at 23,327 and it ended the month of January 2019 at 24,999 for an increase of 1,672 points.
Under President Trump America just keeps winning, winning and more winning!

Chelsea Clinton quashes rumor of possible run for Congress
She is not considering running for Lowey's seat
NEW YORK (AP) — Chelsea Clinton is quashing the rumor that she might run for the New York congressional seat being vacated by retiring Rep. Nita Lowey.
Clinton said on the talk show "The View" Wednesday that she is not considering running for Lowey's seat.
The daughter of former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton said she has heard "some version of this question" ever since she was 3 or 4 years old being asked whether she was planning to run for governor of Arkansas.
Lowey announced last week that she would retire at the end of the year, prompting speculation that Clinton might run for the run for the open seat.
Clinton's Manhattan home is outside Lowey's district but her parents' Chappaqua, New York, home is in the district.

Committee Chairman Bill Rasmussen released a preview of the top 16 teams on Sunday and said the Cavaliers would get the overall No. 1 seed.
It was a tumultuous weekend in college basketball as the top three ranked teams all lost at home. In addition to Villanova, Virginia and Purdue were all upset victims.
But those losses didn't negatively affect their seeds in the committee's mind. It did change the Associated Press Top 25 as Villanova fell to No. 3 from No. 1 and Purdue dropped from No. 3 to No. 6.
It also changed the odds of winning the NCAA Championship. Michigan State is the new favorite at 5/1. Villanova is 6/1, Virginia is 7/1 and Duke is at 8/1.
Surprisingly the committee didn't think much of the favored Spartans, placing them as a No. 3 seed, despite beating the No. 1 seeded Purdue Boilermakers.
Another head scratching selection was ranking Clemson as a No. 3 seed. The Tigers had one early loss to unranked Temple, but its other three losses came to Top 25 teams. They are the fourth in the college basketball Rating Percentage Index (RPI), which measures strength of schedule based on its wins and losses.
The other No. 3 seeds are Texas Tech and North Carolina. The four teams that are seeded second in the bracket preview are Auburn, Duke, Kansas and Cincinnati. The No. 4 seeds are Tennessee, Ohio State, Arizona and Oklahoma.
Two universities left off the list were Gonzaga and Rhode Island. The No. 9 Bulldogs lost in the title game last year to North Carolina. Rhode Island is ranked No. 16. Both teams are hurt by playing in weaker conferences, but the Rams are fifth in RPI.
This is the second consecutive year the committee has provided a sneak peak into their thought process on how they select the first 16 colleges of the eventual 68 that will participate in the tournament.
Last year's reveal had Kansas, Villanova, Baylor and Gonzaga as the top seeds. Baylor was dropped to a No. 3 on selection Sunday, replaced by North Carolina.
Of the No. 1 seeds, only Gonzaga and North Carolina made the Final Four. Villanova was knocked out in the second round by Wisconsin and Kansas made the Elite Eight.

Q: Did the 11th Doctor ever use the red button on the end of his sonic screwdriver on screen? The prop for the 11th Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver has a red button hidden under the tail cap, is there a scene where Matt Smith is actually seen pressing this button? Or is it just there on the prop and unused? If not, do we know what the intended purpose of the button was? If so, in which episode is this scene?

A: In the episode "Time of Angels", Matt is seen holding his sonic horizontally in a manner where his thumb would be over the tail button. But it is difficult to see whether he is actually pressing it or not. Here is a video of that scene (see the 2:00 mark):

According to this discussion:

Remember in "Time of Angels" when The Doctor uses the screwdriver to give River's communicator a boost?
Remember that Smith holds it oddly, with his thumb on the red button on the end?
It's a little known fact that this was because the prop had, in effect, fallen apart, and Smith had to actually hold the sections together and use the red button at the end because the primary activator switch stopped working. Indeed, some of the very first filmming pics to surface are of Matt talking to the prop guy as he re-assembles the whole thing, but this prop was always nutoriously fragile and had to pretty much have a full-time minder from the prop departement.

However, this discussion suggests the tail button does not actually do anything:

The red buttons are actually on the props, but none of them are functional and never have been. Something about the way the circuit is makes it impossible for the button to work.


Micropitting is a gear flank surface fatigue damage or phenomena, which is strongly influenced by the tribological system between the meshing tooth flanks. It is characterized by numerous small surface cracks called micropits induced by the Hertzian contact between the two mating gear flanks. The micropits are shaped by cracks growing at a shallow angle to the surface, forming a continuous fractured surface, which can be visualized as dull and matte. Main influence factors on the occurrence of micropitting are the used lubricant (base oil, additives, viscosity), the tooth flank geometry (size, profile shift, modifications, roughness, heat treatment) and the operating conditions (speed, load and temperature).
The effects of micropitting on the gear flank load carrying capacity are very manifold. On the one hand, micropitting may lead to a better load distribution on the tooth flank because high loaded areas are worn and therefore the gear lifetime may be massively increased. On the other hand, micropitting may also encourage the development of pitting damages and other modes of gear failures. The propagation of micropitting can terminate but may also continue to progress, depending on the used lubricant and the operating conditions.
In order to quantify the micropitting load carrying capacity of different lubricants the standardized test according to FVA 54/7 which is also known as FVA-FZG-micropitting test is available. This test procedure consists of two parts and is carried out for a specific oil under defined conditions regarding test gearing type C-GF, oil temperature and circumferential speed. First, a step test for predefined load stages with increasing torque is performed. As a result of this part, a classification of the lubricant regarding the micropitting load capacity expressed as a failure load stage (SKS) is available. This SKS-value is defined as the load stage, in which the defined failure criterion (profile form deviation ffm) is exceeded. In a second part, a subsequent endurance test usually is performed which provides information about the progress of micropitting at a higher number of load cycles.
About 10 years ago, first efforts were made to develop a standardized method for assessing the risk of micropitting for a given gear stage based on previous research projects within the FVA (Research Association for Drive Technology). The results of this process were published in 2010 as ISO/TR 15144-1. ISO/TR 15144-1 describes a method for calculating a safety factor against micropitting for a defined gearing under given operating conditions. Main input parameters are the gear geometry and the operating conditions as well as a value characterizing the micropitting load carrying capacity of the used lubricant such as the SKS value. The safety factor acc. to ISO/TR 15144-1 is defined as the quotient of occurring specific lubricant film thickness and permissible specific lubricant film thickness. Both values are calculated with the same set of formulae which were derived from basic calculation principles from EHL-theory and extended by empirically established factors. Using the same formulae for calculating the occurring and the permissible specific lubricant film thickness ensures that some possible inaccuracies do not have a big impact on the calculated safety factor. The industrial practice from the last years shows, that the calculation approach acc. ISO/TR 15144-1 can assess the risk of micropitting in a reliable way. ISO/TR 15144-1 is currently under revision and will likely be published as ISO/TS 6336-22 in 2018.
If the micropitting load carrying capacity is a design-relevant parameter or not is strongly depending on the field of application and the sector's philosophy. Whereas a small amount of micropitting is often tolerated in automotive gearboxes or industrial gearboxes which are subject to regular monitoring, other fields of application such as wind turbine industry usually do not allow any micropitting on the gear flank at all. To take account of these circumstances, the minimum safety factor regarding micropitting should be chosen depending on the quality of the input variables and the tolerated probability of micropitting. A proposal showing values for the minimum safety factor depending on the quality of the input variables and the tolerated probability of micropitting based on test results and experience from industrial application is shown in the following figure.
Overall, the question, whether micropitting is a damage or only a phenomenon, cannot be answered in general because it is strongly depending on the operating conditions and the specific field of application. FZG is presenting more on this topic under the title "Practical use of micropitting test results according to FVA 54/7 for calculation of micropitting load capacity acc. to ISO/TR 15144-1" at the International Conference on Gears, held in Garching from September 13th to 15th, 2017.

Marc J. Sheehan's "The Civil War War"
Civil War War - 1 Copy $8.00 USD Civil War War - 2 Copies $15.00 USD
What do Rat Fink tattoos, porta-potties, holograms, Jeopardy!, zombies, Chatty Cathy, Lysistrata, replicant angels, and sorrow vendors have in common? They all play a role in Marc Sheehan's everything-including-the-kitchen-sink absurdist flash fictions about men who re-enact the Civil War in real time (!) and the women who refuse to have sex with them. The chapters are simultaneously whimsical and moving, wry and rueful, laugh-out-loud funny and searingly serious. Sheehan's humor is dry, yes, but it burns like dry ice. What a marvelous book—and given the uncivil war we've been enduring—what a timely one, too.
—David Jauss, author of Glossolalia: New & Selected Stories and Nice People: New & Selected Stories II
Part George Saunders and part Borges but wholly in and of itself his own, Marc Sheehan's The Civil War War is daring, inventive, startling--and so prescient and prophetic it feels like the vivid soul print of America now in its ragged and torn state but somehow as it has always been. Somehow this small but searing book speaks to the tragic fact that America is still at war with itself even as this brilliant work offers a kind of miraculous healing through the power of art, truth, humor, and compassion.
—Robert Vivian, author of All I Feel Is Rivers: Dervish Essays
Marc J. Sheehan is the author of two full-length poetry collections, along with two chapbooks of poetry and one of flash fiction.

Doctrine and practice
by Jordan J. Ballor • March 5, 2007
At the beginning of his journey down from the mountain of enlightenment, Nietzsche's Zarathustra runs across an old saint living in the forest. The saint confesses to Zarathustra, "Now I love God: men, I do not love. Man is a thing too imperfect for me. Love to man would be fatal to me."
By contrast to the saint's view, it has long been the tradition of a major strand of American Christianity that engagement in practical ministry is an important way to express one's love and devotion for God. But the once vibrant synthesis between doctrine and practice seems to be under serious threat.
In modern times, things have been different: "we take for granted that there must be an absolute divide between vital Christian experience on the one hand, and careful doctrinal theology on the other," writes Fred Sanders. "To us, action and reflection seem mutually exclusive, especially when it comes to Christian faith."
Indeed, many post-modern evangelicals or participants in the emerging church movement eschew the importance of doctrine, hearkening rather to the primary importance of acts of love. But either extreme, that doctrine can be separated from practice or vice versa, skews the great Christian tradition in troubling ways. The "absolute divide" between doctrine and practice is a false dichotomy.
Augustine wrote a handbook on faith, hope, and love, illustrating that the Christian religion involves not only things to be believed and hoped for, but also things to be done. The Apostle Paul advised Timothy, "Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers."
One of the best examples of the way to relate doctrine and practice in my opinion is the symbol of Reformed Christianity, the Heidelberg Catechism. Dr. Lyle Bierma, professor of systematic theology at Calvin Theological Seminary, writes of the catechism, "The staying power and worldwide popularity of the Heidelberg Catechism can best be explained by this marvelous blend of doctrine and piety."
For more on how creeds and confessions can function in a contemporary context, check out Carl Trueman's essay in Reformation21, "A Good Creed Seldom Goes Unpunished."

A set of plans intended to mitigate the effects of a potential No Deal Brexit have been presented by European Commissioner for Environment, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Karmenu Vella.
These plans, tabled by the European Commission in January, were agreed in record time by Member States and European Parliament at the end of March.
According to the Commissioner, this underscores that the EU stands shoulder to shoulder with its fishermen, and he commented that the Commission has taken measures to mitigate the impact on fisheries in case of a no-deal Brexit.
'The Commission is working closely with the Member States concerned to ensure a co-ordinated management by Member States of their fleets that would have to leave UK waters. This is to avoid excessive fishing pressure and possible disputes in EU waters,' he said.
This first preparatory measure amends the Regulation on the Sustainable Management of the External Fleets, with the aim of creating the appropriate legal framework for continued reciprocal fishing access by EU and United Kingdom vessels to each other's waters during 2019, provided the UK grants such access for EU vessels.
The second measure allows fishermen and operators from EU Members States to receive compensation for the temporary cessation of fishing activities, due to Brexit, under the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund.
'We have amended our European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. It now allows EU Member States to give financial support to their vessels, which depend significantly on access to UK waters, and which would have to temporarily stop their fishing activities. Member States can also give State aid for these purposes under the same conditions,' Karmenu Vella said.
He stressed that the Commission's overall objective is to secure a future relationship that preserves the health of our shared marine resources and enables coastal communities on both sides of the water to thrive.
'But we have also prepared for a situation, where we would need to support our fishermen through the difficulties that may result from a loss of access to UK waters,' Karmenu Vella said.
The EU Commission has issued a Brexit Contingency Plan, agreed with Ireland and seven other affected Member States, which sets out how fisheries would be managed in a No Deal Brexit. Fisheries is recognised as one of the most immediately critical issues facing the EU in a no-Deal Brexit.
'This communication reflects the high level of planning by Ireland, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Sweden working closely with DG Mare,' commented Ireland's minister of fisheries Michael Creed.
The Communication sets down the preparations in the EU, agreed with the eight Member States directly affected, in the event of a no-Deal Brexit. It identifies the need for mitigation measures and in particular compensation for temporary tie up of fishing vessels. It gives the EU Commission a strong co-ordination role.
He said that measures have been identified and agreed, co-ordinated and fully prepared that will be immediately available to address a no-Deal Brexit situation, if the UK were to decide to deny EU vessels access to UK waters.
'I am seeking additional EU funds to support this mitigation measure if they become necessary. If we need to call on these arrangements, it will be essential, as we have now agreed at EU level, that all involved EU fleets must co-operate under these structured arrangements to manage the situation. We have now agreed that the Irish fleet would not be disproportionately impacted and have ensured that each Member State impacted would take a fair share of the pain,' Michael Creed said.

The New York Hat (1912) A Silent Film Review
Silent Movie Review	by Movies Silently May 11, 2013 May 2, 2020
Pastor Lionel Barrymore receives a strange mission from a parishioner (the wife of the town miser) who has recently passed away: He is to take the money she has left and buy her daughter, Mary Pickford, little luxuries that she has been denied. The Pastor starts by buying Mary a pricey hat from New York. Little does he know that this kindness will start a frenzy of gossip.
If you can't say something good about someone, sit right here by me.
Director D.W. Griffith had a few pet peeves that he never tired of shooting barbs at: Despoilers of maidens, oppressor and the poor, perhaps his favorite targets of all, overzealous social reformers and small town gossips. When a young aspiring author named Anita Loos submitted a story for a one-reel short entitled The New York Hat to the Biograph Company, it proved to be an ideal Griffith script. It had a saintly mother, a put-upon waif, a kindly suitor and lots and lots of fun had at the expense of petty scandal-mongers.
Kate Bruce is dying. Yes, again.
Just one thing to note before we begin: In films of this period, characters were often not given names and were merely referred to by their professional titles or by some descriptive word like Boy, Father, Gossip or even something colorful like The Little Disturber. Only one character has a name in The New York Hat so I will be using the names of the performers to refer to their characters just to make things easier. Later versions of this film have added character names but they are not used in the version I viewed. No need to make things confusing.
The story begins with the death of that saintly mother (Griffith's go-to mom, Kate Bruce). The local pastor (Lionel Barrymore) receives a small box from the dying woman and opens it as soon as he returns home. It contains money and a letter. Kate was worked to death by her miserly husband (Charles Hill Mailes) but she scraped together some savings and she wants to pastor to use it to buy luxuries for her daughter, Mary Pickford.
Lionel always did fancy himself a fashion maven.
Poor Mary is stuck with shabby clothes and an ugly hat. In 1912, if your hat was not at least three feet wide and covered in ostrich plumes, strings of pearls and a few dead birds… Well, you may as well just not go out at all. However, her cheap father will not buy her anything more stylish so Mary prefers to go bare-headed.
There is a new sensation at the village millinery shop: A hat from New York itself! The hat costs the handsome sum of $10, far out of the price range of most of the town's citizens but is is a beautiful thing, complete with dead bird.
Who is that hat for?
Mary joins the crowd of gawkers admiring the hat in the shop window. Lionel spots her, realizes how much she wants that hat and decides to fulfill the first part of his mission then and there. He has no idea what a stir the hat has already caused nor does he realize that all the women in the shop will be dying to know just who the very-eligible pastor is buying the hat for.
Mary is dreaming of the New York hat. She is sorry to wake up. Then in comes Lionel with a box. He presents it to her and asks her to not tell anyone about who gave it to her. Mary opens up and there is her dream hat. She is overwhelmed with emotion.
The hat of her dreams. Mary clearly dreams big.
Mary naively believes that her splendid new appearance will make her more acceptable to the girls her age. Nope. She is openly mocked when she debuts the hat at church and soon the town gossips are whispering about a scandalous affair with Lionel.
Biograph player fun! Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh and Mary Pickford's little brother, Jack, are among the churchgoers insulting Mary. In fact, this whole film is chock full of famed actors and actresses used as extras. See how many you can spot.
The mean girls of the village church.
Soon, the whole town is in a frenzy. Mary's father catches wind of the trouble and tears up the offending hat. Then he marches off to give the pastor a piece of his mind. The church council has gathered its strength and has also set out to confront poor Lionel.
Mary, in tears over the demise of her hat and the blot on her character, gets to him first. The church council sees Lionel comforting Mary (staring through his window!) and burst in to prevent another tryst. Lionel produces the letter and the gossips depart with their tails between their legs. Mary's father realizes the mistake he has made and also becomes quite sheepish.
We'll squash the gossip by really becoming a couple!
But there's more. Lionel, who has been looking mushy over Mary since the film began, proposes marriage. After a whispered conference with her father, Mary accepts. Aww! But wait. Doesn't that mean the gossips were right? And what will happen when the engagement is announced and, and, and… Never mind. Just enjoy the happy ending.
(The original scenario for the film states that the pastor proposes marriage in order to "hush all scandal forever." I still don't see how that's supposed to work but, hey, it's their movie.)
He killed her dead bird. Again!
Griffith was in his element when he dealt with small town life and The New York Hat is justly considered to be a Biograph classic. Every role is perfectly cast and the clever plot zips along while still managing to pack in lots of wry commentary.
Mary Pickford's character is very much in her comfort zone: A sweet, imaginative girl who has been wrongly deprived. On paper it sound a bit trite but anyone who has seen Pickford in action knows that she deftly infused life and spunk into her characters, even when not specifically called for in the scenario.
Not one of the cool kids.
One of Griffith's great attributes as a director was his ability to aid his performers in creating three-dimensional characters, using every action to convey meaning. In her autobiography, Sunshine and Shadow, Mary Pickford wrote that Griffith would discuss the character's circumstances and force his actors and actresses to put thought into what actions would be natural and logical for the role.
Griffith's skill as a director and Pickford's talent as a performer are displayed marvelously in the scene where Mary has fallen asleep after seeing the New York hat, written in the scenario as merely "Mary at home is dreaming of the marvels of the wonderful hat." The film plays this up for maximum pathos. In her sleep, Mary Pickford reaches up, feels the imaginary brim and smiles, knowing her hat has made her a beauty. When she wakes up, she repeats the gesture but disappointment clouds her face when she realizes it was all a dream. This sweet scene makes Mary's social rejection all the more heartbreaking.
Lionel gets the girl? Lionel?
The rest of the cast is also excellent. Lionel Barrymore overdoes his surprise scenes a bit (eye bulge! jaw drop!) but he is splendid at the more tender moments. He just seems to exude benevolence. While he played his share of villain roles, Lionel Barrymore's most famous and beloved parts are his kindly grandfathers, crotchety geezers with hearts of gold and elderly purveyors of wit and wisdom.
Only thirty-four when The New York Hat was shot, Barrymore would not enjoy roles in the romantic lead for long. Soon he was typecast as fathers, uncles and granddads while his little brother John would be playing the romantic lead into his fifties. It's fun and enjoyable to see Lionel have a chance to get the girl. He is every inch the kindly benefactor and it's no wonder that Mary Pickford's character falls for him.
Um, it's very… big…
Lionel Barrymore continued to work with Griffith through 1914. Actor and director were reunited in to the 1920's with America, in which Barrymore menaced Carol Dempster, and Drums of Love, in which he battled for the hand of Mary Philbin.
The New York Hat is rightfully considered one of the most delightful examples of Griffith's pre-feature work. It is an ideal introduction to pre-feature cinema and a real treat for fans of Barrymore, Pickford or Griffith.
Movies Silently's Score: ★★★★
Where can I see it?:
The New York Hat is available on DVD and via streaming as part of the Biograph Shorts set from Kino and the Griffith: Years of Discovery Volume 1 disc released by Flicker Alley. Both editions are excellent.

Dan Sawatzky's Triangle Contracting Co. Sign Takes First Place!
Dan Sawatzky's excavator is an excellent example of planning out a yield strategy and using PB Bond-240 urethane adhesive to put it all together. Working from a sheet of 1" thick PBLT-30 Precision Board Plus, Dan relies on his CNC router to cut the individual pieces to be laminated.
Sandwiching steel tubing for added structural support between the layers of Precision Board Plus, Dan assembles the pieces of the excavator using PB Bond-240. Note the use of coarse threaded screws and clamps to keep it all stationary during cure and to minimize bond lines.
And after plenty of careful attention is paid to final sculpting and finishing, the Sawatzky Imagination Corporation delivers another amazing award winning sign. This one took first place in Sign Media Canada's Stand Alone Sign category. To see more details of how this entire project came together, go to Dan's Speaking From Experience Blog.
