Pat Kavanagh won an All-Ireland title with Kilkenny in 1969, before transferring to Borrisoleigh to work as a vet, and then play with the Borris-Ileigh club, giving him a unique insight into an ancient rivalry
“It’s a bad night to be a Kilkenny man,” whispers a friend.
Pat Kavanagh is in Roscrea, attending Tipperary’s homecoming after the 1971 senior final. The friend hails from Borrisoleigh, Kavanagh’s adopted place. A native of South Kilkenny, Pat is caught in a squeeze of allegiances, a young man making his way in a hotbed of the most beautiful game. The heat is being turned up.
The day before, Tipperary had defeated Kilkenny by three points. Philosophical back then, this man retains a sense of measure: “I suppose the fact that I had won an All-Ireland drew some of the badness out of it. Also, Tipp went on a serious decline after that victory. It was hard for them to be saying too much to anyone, when Kilkenny went on to land four All-Irelands during the 1970s.
“They were disgusted by a blip becoming a famine. They couldn’t handle it at all. It was one shattering blow after another during that period. Sixteen years of it…”
Pat Kavanagh gained his Celtic Cross in 1969, introduced as a sub shortly before half time. A second-half rally by Kilkenny saw off Cork. “Meeting the parents afterwards was the really emotional thing,” he recollects. “They had brought us all over the country, since childhood, to hurling matches. It was a dream come through for them, even more than for me.”
Kavanagh appeared at midfield in 1970’s Leinster final, when Wexford won. But his senior career lost traction. He is enjoyably wry and modest on hurling politics: “What was very important, that time, was having a selector. Dick Bolger, from home, was made a Kilkenny selector. It’s never a disadvantage! The Rower-Inistioge won the 1968 county final in the spring of 1969, which is where Dick came in.”
Pat Kavanagh had hurled a year with Kilkenny at minor (1963) and at U21 (1966). Both seasons terminated with Leinster final defeat by Wexford. But it was Fitzgibbon Cup prominence that propelled his step to senior.
“UCD won the Fitzgibbon Cup in 1968, which threw my name around,” he notes. “Then UCD won the Dublin county final the same year. I got called into the Kilkenny senior panel.”
“After 1969, the club no longer had a selector. Anyway, I just felt I didn’t get to use the momentum playing in that All-Ireland final brought. I had a terrible reaction to the smallpox vaccination the players were given before we went to America in late ’69. It floored me. Then my arm was broken playing with UCD in a club game. I had done little enough hurling before the 1970 Leinster final.”
Both 1971 and 1972 were blanks. Kavanagh did return for 1973:
The Rower-Inistioge were playing James Stephens in a club match in Thomastown. I was at centre-back, where I seldom played, and I was marking big Ned Byrne. And I scored six points from play, which pushed me back on the senior panel. But Limerick beat us in the All-Ireland final. I was well back in the subs for it.
Pat Kavanagh was done with Kilkenny as a hurler. But how did he end up hurling with Borris-Illeigh? Born on November 10, 1945, he was reared in Raheenduff, a townland in The Rower. The place is emphatically South Kilkenny, but New Ross is just four miles distant. Wexford loomed in his childhood. The county’s hurlers started thriving during the early 1950s, as a young Kavanagh began to understand the mutable nature of rivalries.
“We were for Wexford initially,” he laughs. “I remember all the excitement of their cars travelling up to Dublin for the big matches. We used to be jumping and tearing alongside them on the road. Then we kind of took against Wexford, because they were beating us a bit too often.”
The 1958 All-Ireland semi-final introduced him to the rivalry that convulses North Kilkenny. His crowd were the reigning champions, having beaten Waterford the previous September, but Tipperary took the honours and easily beat Galway in the decider.
“I went with the parents and the brothers,” Kavanagh recounts. “We were in the Nally Stand and Kilkenny were playing into that end in the first half. I remember Seán Clohosey running through with a ball, early on. He took this bullet of a shot and it hit the crossbar and rebounded out over his head.
“Jimmy Finn, Clohosey’s marker, gathered the ball and cleared it. Clohosey was a Kilkenny hero, because he was such a stylist.”
He resumes: “That particular day, Jimmy Doyle was outstanding. He had just arrived on the senior scene and I think he scored more himself than the Kilkenny total. He couldn’t be held.”
His childhood was emphatically a GAA one. As Kavanagh details: “The father was totally immersed in hurling and the GAA. A county board delegate for the club and all of that. Our mother, even though she was from a football area in Cork, Ballingeary, had this fierce interest in hurling. We went all over to matches, Munster finals and everything, which was unusual at the time.
“Tipp beat Cork in the 1960 Munster final in one of the finest games I’ve ever seen. We were sitting on the sideline in Thurles at half 11, when throw in wasn’t until half three. Got drowned the same day, but it was a magnificent match.”
Tipperary was a long way from Raheenduff. “I don’t think I had much of a sense of the Tipp thing as a child,” Kavanagh states. “I couldn’t honestly say I was aware of bitter rivalry. We went to school in New Ross, to Good Counsel [College]. The Wexford factor was far more important.
“My sense of Tipp was that any time we met them, in the league or whatever, they nearly always beat us. But I had no great animosity towards Tipp, because you wouldn’t be seeing anyone, in the normal course of a day, from there. And Tipp weren’t going great in the early to mid-1950s. They didn’t win in Munster between 1951 and 1958.”
Third-level experience altered this dynamic. Pat Kavanagh began studying in UCD to be a vet in 1964. He hurled with the college’s teams, a pursuit that drew him into another orbit.
“Half our Fitzgibbon Cup-winning team was Tipp,” he says.
We had Éamonn Kennedy in goal, a brother of Michael Kennedy, the future minister. We had Willie Smith, brother of Mick Smith the TD. Jack Ryan of Moneygall was corner-forward, a great hurler.
“There were another five or six Tipp lads as well. I was particularly friendly with Pat O’Connor from Cashel, another corner-forward, and with his older brother, Derry O’Connor. Derry was a vet. When I qualified, I got a job with him, in Cashel. That’s how I got to Tipperary in the first place, back in 1969.”
Proximity in UCD dictated the usual crackle between two sets of natives. “Tipp had won the 1964 All-Ireland final with Kilkenny just before I started in UCD,” Kavanagh recalls. “Then after the final whistle, when we won in 1967, I had a lot of the Tipp UCD fellas I’d got to know around me in Croke Park. I have to say that I enjoyed them being there!
“They were slagging me during the first half and at half time, because Tipp were on top and winning well. But Ollie [Walsh] gave an exhibition in the second half on the goal, and saved the day. Kilkenny hadn’t beaten Tipp in a championship match for 45 years. They were kind of shellshocked. It simply wasn’t meant to happen.”
He elaborates on that professional swerve to Cashel: “I was with Derry until his younger brother Pat qualified. Then I went to a friend of Derry’s in Borrisoleigh, by the name of Tom O’Neill.
“I was only with Tom about two years when he died suddenly one night. Myself and a friend of mine, Matt O’Connell from Roscommon, bought the practice from his widow. And I’m there in Borrisoleigh ever since.”
What does a young vet talented at hurling do in Tipperary? Kavanagh smiles: “Borris-Ileigh had a pretty good team at the time. I used be training away with them the whole time. Every night, if there was hurling in the field, I’d be down there.
“It was a great help to my business, I’d have to say. Being a hurler helped big time, even though I didn’t transfer to Borris-Ileigh for a while afterwards. But I knew everyone, knew all the fellas involved in the club, was hurling and training with farmers’ sons and so on. You had that shared context with everyone.”
All the while, he was making a Tipperary life as well as a Tipperary livelihood: “I used play challenge matches with Borris-Ileigh from the start. I’d travel to matches. If they were a man short, I’d play.”
He transferred in 1977, a move that contained as much accident as design.
Kavanagh sketches the context: “We were beaten in the 1976 Kilkenny county final, by James Stephens. The following year, Borris-Ileigh played a few tournament games down in Fethard, and I played with them. Illegally, of course. I remember my father was going into a county board meeting one night and this fella from Johnstown said: “I see the young lad is hurling very well down in Tipperary at the moment.”
So I was caught.
“I had the choice of two things. I could own up, and be suspended for 12 months. Or I could play with Borris-Ileigh. So I wrote to the secretary of The Rower-Inistioge club: ‘They’re on to me here in Tipperary to sort out my situation. But if there’s anyone in our club who has any objection whatsoever I won’t go’. Never heard a word afterwards, from that day to this day.”
Pat Kavanagh launched in new colours. He hurled in draw and replay when Kilruane MacDonaghs beat Borris-Ileigh in 1977’s senior final. He achieved the rare distinction of a senior title in three strong hurling cultures when he was part of the teams that triumphed in 1981 and 1983. Tipperary got added to Kilkenny and Dublin.
Kavanagh glosses: “I never detected even the slightest animosity towards me hurling with Borris-Ileigh. Sometimes that happens when a fella comes in from outside. But I suppose we all knew each other so well by the time 1977 came round. It probably wasn’t your typical transfer.
“Having said all that, it’s hard to know if it’s a good idea to leave your own. My brothers were playing with The Rower still. I’d say that only I got caught illegal I mightn’t have changed, even though I know there was always fierce pressure on me, up there, to change.”
He modestly adds: “It wasn’t that I was so good. Not at all, though I was hurling away fine. I’d say it was more they felt they needed something extra or different to win a county final.”
Kavanagh is equally self-effacing when it comes to Liam Devanny’s input. One of the club’s finest ever hurlers, Devanney counted as a magician with Tipperary during the 1960s.
He took over management of the club team for 1981. Before that senior final, he offered a memorable team talk: “Liam went the usual road, starting with the goalkeeper. Pepped everyone up. Then he came to the three of us in the full-forward line.
“He said: “Kavanagh, [Mick] Coen, [Tommy O’] Dwyer, I don’t know which of ye is the worst.”
Everyone just horsed into laughing. Probably relaxed us, in a funny way. A life was accruing: “I didn’t get married until I was 38, when I was nearly finished hurling. We were lucky enough to have four children, two boys and two girls. Although the girls are not so pushed, the boys are staunch Tipperary devotees.
“The girls are in Ireland, teaching. The boys are working in New York, where Toby is chairman of the New York Hurling Board and Tommy is secretary of the Tipperary Hurling Club.”
Music proved a central aspect of the four children’s upbringing, with All-Ireland medals winging to Borrisoleigh on foot of their talent.
But hurling’s draw could not be ignored. Their father brightens: “I remember when they were very small they’d wear Kilkenny colours going to the matches. But I remember one of the Kilkenny matches during the 1990s and I’d bought a black-and-amber ribbon, and Toby wouldn’t wear it. He was only six or seven at the time! He refused, point blank.”
Yet Kavanagh is no way rueful: “Borrisoleigh is a fantastic village for sport. There are great doggie men as well as great hurling men. They’re mad about horses. They like to take life easy in Borrisoleigh. It’s a very friendly town.”
He got to know natives who had starred in blue and gold. Seán Kenny was one such figure, a Premier star during the late 1940s and early ’50s. As Kavanagh soon discovered, singularity is prized and enjoyed in this part of Tipperary: “Seán was an absolute gas ticket, very colourful, a great entertainer. He was a real god around the county, a powerful build of a man.
“I never saw him hurling, but I believe he’d go through the proverbial stone wall. Just a bull of a man…
“There used to be a crowd of them that went into Stapleton’s pub most mornings. And Seán would be there, and one particular morning he said: “Herself is gone for the day and she has left me nothing at all. Only a tin of Kitty Kat…”
Kenny milked an attentive audience: “So he took the tin and opened it and got a spoon from the girl behind the counter, and started eating it. Cat food, they all thought. But it wasn’t cat food at all. He was after changing the label on a tin of salmon. And they were all in a state watching Seán Kenny with a spoon, eating cat food.
Not a bother on him, but they didn’t know why! Completely winding them up… He was capable of anything. He was brilliant.
Borris-Ileigh’s present is also rich in talent. Kavanagh’s admiration for Brendan Maher, Tipperary’s last victorious senior captain, is unequivocal: “He’s the kind of fella that makes any club. No airs and graces, no matter what he achieves, no matter what he wins. I see he was recently a selector with the Junior B team.
How many lads who’d captained Tipperary to win an All-Ireland would be bothered in the slightest with helping out a Junior B team? But that’s Brendan Maher.
Kavanagh’s verdict on living through Kilkenny’s ascendancy over Tipperary between 2002 and 2014 is straightforward: “Pure fantastic! Inside in Thurles Golf Club, I’d get an awful going, before all the Kilkenny wins started happening. Then I used to be saying: ‘It’s a pity Tipp wouldn’t win the other time, to bring them on a bit, to offer a bit of encouragement.’
“They go mental… Can’t hack it at all. They don’t tolerate any slagging at all.”
Even though five decades settled in the place, he still enjoys Tipp idiosyncrasies: “I’d be great friends with Séamus Troy, a Moyne-Templetuohy man living in Thurles, through the golf club. We’d go to all the matches together. But I’d be saying to him: ‘Why are Tipperary so unpopular?’ He knows well they are unpopular, but he won’t admit it.
“It’s amazing how many counties dislike them. Offaly dislike them. Galway dislike them. Clare dislike them. Cork probably tolerate them. I think that’s fairly well known.”
He proceeds, not short of bemusement: “The other thing with a lot of the Tipp followers is that there’s always an excuse. They are never beaten by a better team. They say Diarmuid Kirwan, as referee, beat them in 2009. Hawkeye did them out of it in the 2014 draw. They still go on about how a normal umpire would have given the point and won them the All-Ireland.
“I don’t know what they blame for 2011. Actually, I think it’s Brian Gavin, as referee. They’re great people in most ways, sound as a bell, but talking hurling is a different matter.”
What will happen in the latest dance the two counties’ have with each other? Kavanagh’s wry humour holds to the end: “They say Tipperary have never won an All-Ireland without a Ryan being involved. Tipp had their manager, Michael Ryan, in 2016.
“Is there any Ryan about the house this year?”

Wolfsburg – Ice hockey goalkeeper Chet Pickard from the Grizzlys Wolfsburg has ended his career and informed his club from the German Ice Hockey League that, despite an ongoing contract until 2023, he will not return to Germany from his native Canada after the summer vacation.
This decision came “extremely suddenly and completely surprisingly”, said the Wolfsburg company in a press release.
As a replacement, the 2021 DEL finalist immediately signed 36-year-old Justin Pogge from the Kölner Haien. The former junior world champion from Canada was drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2004. Later he played in Europe for four Swedish clubs and the Eisbären Berlin, among others. The Wolfsburg team signed 21-year-old Ennio Albrecht from Oberliga side Blue Devils Weiden as the third goalkeeper behind national goalkeeper Dustin Strahlmeier and Pogge.
“The news of Chet’s retirement hit us like lightning. We accept such a decision, which was certainly not easy. The way in which we were only informed of this at the end of June without prior notice is unacceptable to me,” said Wolfsburg sports director and managing director Karl-Heinz Fliegauf. Pogge and Albrecht’s commitments are “the best possible solution to this unpredictable goalkeeper situation”.

Women, Children Slain in Air Strikes Against Shuqra
Following the retreat of Ansar al-Sharia forces out of Zinjibar and Jaar earlier this week, the Yemeni military has pressed its offensive into other cities, reporting that it has “routed” terrorists in and around the town of Shuqra with 48 killed.
The toll in Shuqra includes a number of civilians, however, with one Yemeni official conceding that at least six civilians had been slain in air strikes against the town. Another official said there could be as many as eight civilians.
The town is one of just a handful in Abyan Province still under militant control. Ansar al-Sharia spokesmen explained the retreat from Jaar by saying they didn’t want to leave civilians in harms way, given the growing amount of shelling and air strikes against the town.
Ansar al-Sharia took virtually the whole province in June of last year, a victory that surprised many and fueled speculation that then-ruler Ali Abdullah Saleh deliberately lost the province to try to con the US into giving him more military aid. The current offensive is being backed by US drone strikes and a US advisory group on the ground.

text: The aim of the study was to analyze thoracic electrical impedance tomographic (EIT) measurements accomplished under conditions comparable with clinical situations during artificial ventilation. Multiple EIT measurements were performed in pigs in three transverse thoracic planes during the volume controlled mode of mechanical ventilation at various tidal volumes (V(T)) and positive end-expiratory pressures (PEEP). The protocol comprised following ventilatory patterns: 1) V(T)(400, 500, 600, 700 ml) was varied in a random order at various constant PEEP levels and 2) PEEP (2, 5, 8, 11, 14 cm H2O) was randomly modified during ventilation with a constant V(T). The EIT technique was used to generate cross-sectional images of 1) regional lung ventilation and 2) regional shifts in lung volume with PEEP. The quantitative analysis was performed in terms of the tidal amplitude of the impedance change, reflecting the volume of delivered gas at various preset V(T) and the end-expiratory impedance change, revealing the variation of the lung volume at various PEEP levels. The results showed: 1) an increase in the tidal amplitude of the impedance change, proportional to the delivered V(T) at all constant PEEP levels, 2) a rising end-expiratory impedance change, with PEEP reflecting an increase in gas volume, and 3) a PEEP-dependent redistribution of the ventilated gas between the planes. The generated images and the quantitative results indicate the ability of EIT to identify regional changes in V(T) and lung volume during mechanical ventilation.

Survey: Doctors mixed on electronic medical records
- Some doctors say electronic record keeping distracts from patient care
- Congress created the Meaningful Use program in 2009 when it passed the federal stimulus bill
- Proponents say electronic records improve patient care and will lower costs
Correction: Doctors and hospitals will see decreases in their Medicare reimbursements if they haven't joined the Meaningful Use program by 2015. An earlier version of this story misstated the type of reimbursements that would be reduced.
A study by the Rand Corp., a non-profit worldwide research group, found that electronic health records, or EHRs, are a mixed bag for doctors. Though doctors in the survey said they believe that EHRs are improving some aspects of quality care for patients, the conversion has increased workloads, been more costly than originally thought and has limited face time with patients.
The study, conducted last summer and released in the fall, was sponsored by the American Medical Association, which has lobbied the federal government for more flexibility with EHR mandates.
"It just takes a lot more time and is much more cumbersome," said Steven Stack, an emergency physician in Lexington, Ky., and a member of the AMA's Board of Trustees. Doctors, he added, are not trying to halt the transition from paper to electronic, but they do want to make that transition less painful by being more reasonable with what Stack said is a "one size fits all" program.
"It's not that doctors are dinosaurs and don't see the value of the technology," he said.
Congress created the Meaningful Use program in 2009 when it passed the federal stimulus bill. Although the program is voluntary, doctors and hospitals will see decreases in their Medicare reimbursements if they haven't joined the program by 2015. The third phase of Meaningful Use was supposed to have started in 2016, but earlier this month the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services extended the start date to 2017 to address industry concerns.
Proponents say EHRs will improve patient care, lower costs over time and allow patients to be more involved with their health.
Dr. Sam Butler, who works for Epic Systems, a health care software developer in Verona, Wis., said the most common users of EHRs are patients, who can do things like check lab results or order prescription refills over their phones.
"Because we're doing this, it's going to make life a lot better for everybody," Butler said.
But some doctors complain they spend more time looking at computer screens than patients, and they say that EHRs can't always communicate with each other, making the seamless sharing of information an elusive goal.
"The technology was not mature enough to be deployed in this broad based way," Stack said.
Ellis and Walker also report for the Argus Leader, Sioux Falls, S.D.

The island of Palawan in the far southwest of the Philippines is one of the most worthwhile areas of the country. It is mainly home to the town of El Nido and its nearby Bacuit Archipelago, which is filled with paradise islands. Most people fly from Manila to Puerto Princesa and then make their way north by bus to El Nido. A very worthwhile stop along the way is Sabang, a tiny village along the west coast.
I was really struck by the beautiful nature in Sabang. There is a small bay where most of the beachside huts and buildings are, ringed by limestone karst mountains covered in jungle. As you walk along the beach, crabs of different sizes and colors scatter into their holes in the sand, and seaside rocks are covered with little mud-kickers which collectively leap into the sea as you pass.
I stayed in one of these huts along the beach
My travel buddies on Palawan
With a paddle boat you can go into the nearby mangrove forests and see black and yellow spotted snakes hanging from the trees and tropical birds flying around. We also saw multiple giant monitor lizards and wild monkeys in some of the surrounding forests.
But Sabang is best known for being the entry point to Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a world heritage site. It was once thought to be the longest river cave in the world, though a cave system in Mexico’s Yucatan has since taken that crown. The Puerto Princesa Subterranean River is advertised as one of the “7 new wonders of the world”, though this is mostly a marketing gimmick and you shouldn’t let expectations go too high as you will probably be disappointed.
Approaches by monitor lizards near the cave entrance.
You can go into the cave with an organized tour. You’ll see a ton of bats hanging from the ceilings inside. Other than that, the guide will make some cheesy remarks about what the different rock formations look like (e.g. celebrities or, umm, phallic suggestions). While a fun afternoon, it was actually Sabang itself that I enjoyed seeing the most here.
It’s a very quiet and small town, home to just a few restaurants and places of accommodation. The beachside is peaceful and if you walk around the area you are nearly guaranteed to see all sorts of wildlife.
If you are going to El Nido, I would definitely recommend stopping at Sabang along the way.

A little bit discussions about some of the variants:
The latest War Machine look alike figure in SY262 has inverted "100" mark printed on the armor.
I believe it should be "001". but Mark 1 should look like this:
War Machine from SY262 isn't variant. It's War Machine Mk1 (not Iron Man Mk1). It's developed from Iron Man Mk2 suit in Movie Iron Man2.
But War Machine Mk2 from Lego/SY/Decool is another suit's developed from Mk22 Hot Rod. and repaint to Iron Patriot in Movie Iron Man 3. (and Repaint back to War Machine again in Avenger2 Age of Ultron) Repaint War Machine
Mark 41 "Bones"
How about Mark 41, Bones? Some people say the earlier "Mark 41" isn't Bones, so who is he?
Again, thanks to @beekini for the confirmation. It's confirmed both are Mark 41 "Bones":
The other variant of Mark 5 is from EpicLegoDecals' Flickr:
For months i thought this guy is Mark 3. He is actually Mark 49/Mark 50! Thanks to @anonymous for the info.
This guy is from Sheng Yuan's SY161. That is a set of minifigures from Avengers Assemble animated series. Article in http://avengersassemble.wikia.com/wiki/Iron_Man stated that the ironman in this series is Mark 50!

Episode 26: The Best Night Ever Confirmed for Grand Galloping Gala!
Thanks to everyone who sent me this! I admit, I have been slacking on reading Lauren's DA for news. Anyway, it looks like we actually get to see everyone hit up the gala for the season finale! Will everything from Ticketmaster come true?!


Police have charged two men in connection to a fraud scam involving prepaid credit cards.
According to a Tuesday news release, the men purchased prepaid cards from a gas station in west Edmonton, near 133 Street and 118 Avenue, using a payment card that had been tampered with and had a damaged magnetic stripe.
tap here to see other videos from our team.
The men visited the gas station on multiple occasions between May 25-28, and on June 1, and would purchase anywhere from $300 to $800 in prepaid credit cards during a transaction, totalling $3,800, police said.
The two men would complete the transaction by giving the store clerk alternative credit card information that was later discovered to be fraudulent.
“We believe other stores in the city may have been affected by this scam,” Const. Robert Pinter said in the news release.
“We encourage store merchants to review their practices when it comes to verifying payment information for any financial transaction.”
Paul Vincent Olimba, 33, is charged with five counts each of fraud under $5,000 and unauthorized use of credit card data. Phelip Jonahs Olimba, 31, is charged with two counts of the same charges.
In addition, Paul is charged with two counts of uttering a forged document.

U.S. Stocks Hover Near Records as Dollar Rises; Oil Extends Jumpby , , and
Greenback snaps drop even as September hike odds recede
Nikkei futures mixed amid three-day recovery in the yen
U.S. stock indexes held near record levels, while the dollar gained as traders digested mixed data on the world’s largest economy amid bets interest rates will stay low.
The S&P 500 Index closed little changed after rising to within three points of an all-time high as the dollar snapped a two-day slide. The loonie erased gains after the Bank of Canada said there were increased risks of slower growth, while Mexico’s peso slumped as the nation’s finance minister resigned. Crude climbed to a one-week high as investors parsed comments from OPEC and Russia for signs of whether oil producers will agree on measures to bolster the market. Copper rose the most in three weeks amid a Chilean mine strike.
Traders pared bets on a U.S. rate hike in September to 22 percent, according to Fed fund futures tracked by Bloomberg. The U.S. economy grew at a modest pace in July and August as a strong labor market failed to put much upward pressure on wages and prices, the Federal Reserve’s latest Beige Book showed Wednesday. The U.S. Citigroup Economic Surprise Index, which measures how data comes in relative to expectations, fell below zero for the first time since July, a sign that some figures have been worse than expected.
“The economic data that’s come out in the past week or so has been underwhelming,” said Walter Todd, who oversees about $1.1 billion as chief investment officer for Greenwood Capital Associates LLC in South Carolina. “There was a little hype about the Fed moving in September, but now we’re back to where we were a month ago, questioning whether they’re going to raise at all this year.”
The S&P 500 lost less than 0.1 percent to 2,186.16 as of 4 p.m. in New York. The U.S. benchmark has traded within a band of 1.5 percent for 39 days, the narrowest range ever for that length of time. It’s gone 42 sessions without a 1 percent move in either direction, the longest since 2014.
“Interest rates are off the table, but the picture is somewhat cloudy,” said Patrick Spencer, London-based vice chairman of equities at Robert W. Baird, which manages $151 billion.
Equities have failed to make headway as consumer-staples companies capped the worst drop in six weeks, offsetting gains in technology and energy shares. General Mills Inc. fell the most in almost two years, while Whole Foods Market Inc. and Kroger Co. lost more than 4 percent, spurred by a 14 percent drop in rival Sprouts Farmers Market Inc. after the grocer cut its profit outlook. Apple Inc. rose after executives unveiled new products, and Facebook Inc. advanced to a fresh high, extending its longest winning streak in five months.
A rally among exporters amid a weaker euro pushed European equities to near their highest level since April, while Germany’s DAX Index erased its annual decline. Automakers led the 0.3 percent advance in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, which rose for the fourth time in five days. The DAX climbed 0.6 percent, with steelmaker ThyssenKrupp AG, chemical company BASF SE and Daimler AG advancing the most.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index extended gains to the highest level since July 2015.
Futures on Asian stock gauges were mixed given the lack of a lead in from the U.S. Contracts on benchmarks in South Korea and Hong Kong climbed at least 0.1 percent in most recent trading, while those on Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index dropped 0.3 percent amid a retreat in iron-ore prices.
Nikkei 225 Stock Average futures slipped 0.2 percent to 16,960 in Osaka as the yen capped a third day of gains. Yen-denominated contracts on the Japanese index, however, rose 0.2 percent on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, which measures the U.S. currency against a basket of 10 peers, rose 0.1 percent after declining 1 percent on Tuesday.
Canada’s dollar weakened 0.3 percent after the central bank held its benchmark rate at 0.5 percent, a decision anticipated by all 25 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The loonie had gained over the past few days amid dissipating expectations for a U.S. rate increase this year. The currency has lagged behind most peers this quarter, however, after a string of disappointing data on the Canadian economy.
Mexico’s peso posted the biggest decline among Latin American currencies, while the pound halted a five-day advance as reports showing an easing in U.K. house prices and manufacturing output highlighted lingering risks around the nation’s vote to leave the European Union.
Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose by one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 1.54 percent, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. Rates on two-year notes, the coupon maturity most sensitive to Fed policy expectations, also added one basis point, to 0.74 percent.
Following data Tuesday that showed the U.S. services sector grew at the slowest pace in six years in August, economists at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. lowered the probability of a September rate hike from the Fed to 40 percent from 55 percent, after making the opposite move last week.
“With slightly softer data and less ‘time on the clock,’ a rate increase this year now looks a bit less certain,” Jan Hatzius, chief economist at Goldman, wrote in a note to clients Tuesday. “While this is just one indicator, the surprise was meaningful, and there may have been some Fed officials feeling lukewarm on a September hike to begin with.”
In Europe, investors have strengthened bets that yields on longer-dated securities will fall relative to those on shorter-term debt in the past three days.
The so-called bull-flattening of the yield curve is fueled by speculation policy makers will step up their asset-purchase program or adjust rules to ease a perceived scarcity of bonds available to buy. With the European Central Bank’s current rules for quantitative easing excluding much of the shortest-dated debt from purchases, investors are building up positions in longer-term, higher-yielding securities as the Governing Council prepares to unveil its latest policy decision on Thursday.
West Texas Intermediate crude rose 1.5 percent to $45.50 a barrel in New York, climbing for a third day. It was the highest settlement since Aug. 30.
Iran will support efforts to bring about fair prices for oil while it restores output lost amid sanctions, President Hassan Rouhani said Tuesday. Still, a production-freeze deal during informal producer talks this month is unlikely, said David Fyfe, Gunvor Group Ltd.’s head of market research and analysis. The market remains well supplied as U.S. stockpiles, already more than 100 million barrels above the five-year seasonal average, are forecast to have expanded for a third week.
“Most oil market analysts are very skeptical about the chances of an agreement,” said Mike Wittner, head of oil-market research at Societe Generale SA in New York. “I’m becoming less skeptical because the situation has changed since April. The main difference is that Iran has increased output to close their goal and appears amenable to the idea.”
Copper jumped 0.7 percent as a mine strike in Chile, the largest producer of the metal, helped ease concerns that global supplies will exceed demand. Gold for immediate delivery slipped 0.4 percent, halting a four-day rally as the dollar regained some ground.

Discussion in 'Maverick/Comet Projects' started by Dave B, Jan 24, 2010.
Perfectionist.....or close as I can get.
My friend Mike, came over and held the door, so I could bolt it back on for now, I rebuilt the hinges, it makes a huge difference.
Its starting to look like something now.
Looks good Dave! Did you replace bushings and pins?
Thanks!, and yes, with a kit I bought off Ebay.
Looking great, It's nice to have help, I had a rough time with my doors but a floor jack and some well placed 2X4's did the trick.
Why not primer the roof?
The roof still needs some work, and it'll be much easier, when it's sitting on it's wheels.
I would have helped if I lived closer. Looks good.
I have the door adjusted just how I want it. Now that it is set, whenever I remove it I just pull the pin. That way every time I install/ uninstall it I know it will go back exactly where I want it.
That will come soon enough, I kinda wanted to get the door, up off the floor for Spring, and hopefully get it primed...
I too, have removable pins in in my driver door hinges. I love the idea of lining the door up and being able to pull it and returning it to perfection easily.
One thing to be careful of is that you need to have the pin installed with the head pointed down on the upper hinge if you want a shot at removing it later.
Don't know if the passenger hinge has the same requirement. Same-hinge-flipped makes me suspect you might want to look into that. Fortunately, I found out because I had to pull the door soon after I had it back in place. Still burned me up to unbolt the hinge again.
I don't think my passenger door will ever get rebuilt. It still closes like it is 1972 ... ka-thunk .... It is a beautiful sound. I can only get the driver's door close to sounding that good. But mine started out sounding like a metal trash can getting bounced off the back of a garbage truck. Progress ... a good thing ....
Did some more work on the console, I test fitted it with the shifter hump from the factory floor shift, it stills has about a 1/4" clearance to the bottom of the package tray. Non-floor shift automatics will have roughly 1/2", it's tough to make this fit all cars, but as with anything, with the variances, you may have to do some tweeking.
If you have me on Facebook, I've posted more pictures there.
Lookin sharp, Dave! Nice designing.

Hollywood is weird. It was always a lame dream of mine to buy one of those star maps on the side of the road and spend the afternoon coasting from celebrity home to celebrity home, up Sunset, down Wilshire, and end up at the Chateau Marmont for a $25 mimosa. Except my dream has been a little more offbeat. Don’t get me wrong, if you’re down to drive to Calabasas and find a Kardashian, I’m down too. But what’s more of a draw is the super creep factor that is Hollywood. So much sun, so much money, so much sex, so much mystery. I’ve seen enough E! True Hollywood Story to know that Natalie Wood didn’t just fall off that boat. And so, about a year ago, I was visiting my boyfriend’s family in Los Feliz and after some research, we did a little Hollywood tour of our own—one that involved famous crimes and murders. While we couldn’t hit them all due to the whole gated community thing, here’s what was on the itinerary.
10050 Cielo Drive
The Manson Murders
Perhaps the most famous (or infamous) of Hollywood gone bonkers is Charles Manson and his Family. Before moving to San Francisco, Manson led a life of crime and punishment, spending most of his time in prison cells—and liking it. Once in Northern California, he kept moving his Family around in order to keep them occupied, finally ending up in Los Angeles, taking shelter in various rundown ranches and old film sets. An aspiring musician, Manson recorded with the likes of Beach Boy Dennis Wilson, eventually getting nowhere. Jaded and also absolutely unhinged, Manson who had complete control of his Family, spearheaded the March 1969 bloody effort that eventually took the lives of Sharon Tate, her pregnant belly, and four others at 10050 Cielo Drive in the Benedict Canyon area. Years later, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails rented the house and recorded much of Downward Spiral there, dubbing the studio “Pig” in reference to the message the Family left on the door in Tate’s blood.

Foreign Minister Bogdan Aurescu highlighted the importance of continuing and coordinating the global efforts against extremism and terrorism, and the need of international cooperation to fight the financing of terrorism and to stimulate the exchange of information in this field, at the 24th meeting of the European Union – Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Ministerial Council on Sunday in Doha, Qatar.
According to a release of the Spokesperson and Communication Directorate of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, the top Romanian diplomat intervened in the meeting on the global antiterrorist fight and on the situation in Iraq and Syria.
In this context, Aurescu presented Romania’s initiative of establishing an International Antiterrorist Court. He also expressed condolences on behalf of the Romanian Government to his Saudi counterpart, for the victims of the terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia two days ago.
As regards the situation in Iraq, Aurescu stressed the need of supporting an inclusive political process and the consolidation of the state, and of the national reconciliation based on the Constitution of Iraq. About Syria, he pointed out that only a negotiated political solution could be durable for the Syrian people; he voiced his support for the initiatives of the UN special envoy to this effect.
The head of the Romanian diplomacy also had several bilateral meetings with his counterparts in the region.
According to the aforementioned document, the council was co-chaired by High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini and by Qatari Foreign Minister Dr. Khalid bin Mohammed Al Attiyah, the current president of the GCC.
The foreign ministers discussed actual topics of the joint EU-GCC agenda, focusing on the evaluation of the latest relevant evolutions in the extended Middle East area (Yemen, Iraq, Syria, etc.). It was also the occasion of exchanging opinions on several global problems like the fight against terrorism and the human rights.

Citations of published Cochrane Reviews (including protocols) include the author names, review title, review publication year and issue, and author contact information. A citation reflects the details at the time of the publication. The following scenarios describe cases where a change may be requested by an author, and actions to take.
Author contact details
Authors appearing in the by-line of a Cochrane Review should have the minimum required information included on their Archie record (i.e. city and country). Other fields are optional (e.g. institutional or organizational affiliation).
For Deceased authors please follow separate guidance.
Changes to author name
If an author changes their name after the publication of a Cochrane Review (e.g. through marriage), the name on the published version of the Cochrane Review should not be changed until the next citation version (e.g. with a review update); a new citation version should not be created for this purpose.
If, however, a review was published with an error in the author’s name (at the time of publication), then the Review should be republished as an amendment with a new citation to correct this error.
Changes to author contact details
Authors' contact details may change over time. Occasionally, authors may wish to update their contact details only (i.e. not add or remove authors) in the published Cochrane Review between citation versions, and this can proceed at the discretion of the Managing Editor. If there is a decision to update the contact details in the published Cochrane Review, the Cochrane Review must be republished as an amendment with no new citation. Note that the new contact details will appear only on the review version in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and not, for example, in PubMed.

Right, so having moved somewhere stupid-far away from the tropics and not having such easy access to ingredients necessary for Thai food.. I have discovered that the local Asian grocery sells JARS of shredded green papaya (I think the ingredients were papaya, water, salt?).
Before I rush out and try to make som tam with it, has anyone used this and was it any good?
I'm guessing, but don't know, that it might be a good idea to rinse it a bit if it is stored in slightly salty water?

The global economy is characterized by increasing locational competition to attract the resources necessary to develop leading-edge technologies as drivers of regional and national growth. One means of facilitating such growth and improving national competitiveness is to improve the operation of the national innovation system. This involves national technology development and innovation programs designed to support research on new technologies, enhance the commercial return on national research, and facilitate the production of globally competitive products. Understanding the policies that other nations are pursuing to become more innovative and to what effect is essential to understanding how the nature and terms of economic competition are shifting. Building the 21st Century U.S.-China Cooperation on Science, Technology, and Innovation studies selected foreign innovation programs and comparing them with major U.S. programs.
This analysis of Comparative Innovation Policy includes a review of the goals, concept, structure, operation, funding levels, and evaluation of foreign programs designed to advance the innovation capacity of national economies and enhance their international competitiveness. This analysis focuses on key areas of future growth, such as renewable energy, among others, to generate case-specific recommendations where appropriate.

7 Days in the Sunshine State’s Top End
If you are thinking of flying north for the winter, then you won’t be disappointed by the array of sun-drenched options to satiate your seasonal desires! Here’s your 7-day itinerary of places to stay, eat and visit.
Arrive in Cairns and pick up your hire car to drive 20 minutes north to the beachfront idyll of Palm Cove. Check into the tropical Sea Temple Resort and start to unwind! Depending on your arrival time, you may like to take a stroll along the palm-fringed beach and head to Chill Cafe for a quick cocktail before dining at nearby Vivo Bar and Grill.
Head to Port Douglas, a 40 minute scenic drive up the coast for a day of eating and strolling. If it’s a Sunday, the arts and crafts markets at the Anzac Park end of Macrossan St will give you plenty to drool over. As your stomach starts to rumble, make tracks to Harrisons for a casual and delicious lunch on the breezy verandah. Spend the afternoon perusing the shops or head to the beach for a nap and a swim. Don’t forget to pick up some Mocka’s pies to take back to your hotel for dinner!
You can’t go to Cairns and not experience the skyrail and skytrain to and from Kuranda. You can drive to the skyrail departure point and park for the day, then head up the hills into the rainforest. The views back to the coastline and over the rainforest canopy are stunning. Make sure you get off at Barron Gorge for some amazing photo opportunities. Once in Kuranda, it really is about browsing the shops, eating (I recommend the Petit Cafe), and maybe taking a river cruise. Head back on the skytrain (I recommend upgrading to Gold Class for drinks and nibbles on the train in a heritage carriage) to take in more amazing views. Once back in Cairns, a shuttle bus will take you back to your car – too easy! If you haven’t had enough to eat, head to the iconic Nu Nu in Palm Cove for a memorable dining experience.
The nearby Atherton Tablelands is a great day trip to discover the food delights of the region, with some majestic waterfalls and mountain views along the way. Read my blog on the Atherton Tablelands Foodie Tour for some ideas! Collect some cheeses, chocolate, coffee and vegetables (from The Humpy) along the way for dinner when you get home.
Ready for some snorkelling? Drive to the Reef Terminal in Cairns (beware of peak hour traffic so head off early!) to catch the Big Cat to Green Island and enjoy a day of reef viewing, snorkelling from the beach or from a selection of glass bottom boats, semi-submarines, helmut diving or scuba diving. Have lunch at the Green Island Resort restaurant – great food and a relaxed vibe. Go for a stroll around the island or just chill on the beach! Back in Palm Cove, head to the Temple of Tastes at the Sea Temple Resort for a relaxed dinner.
Time for some croc-spotting so it’s back up the north coast to Daintree, for a Daintree for a river cruise. There are a number of options to choose from, some including morning or afternoon tea, and all featuring knowledgeable guides. If you have time, take a stroll around the quaint village of Daintree. As lunch looms, head south to Mossman Gorge, to the stunning Silky Oaks Lodge. The open-sided restaurant teeters over the Mossman River and provides a tranquil setting for leisurely dining. Once back in Palm Cove, if you are still overwhelmed by lunch, grab some takeaway prawns and a smoked salmon caesar salad from the Palm Cove Surf Life Saving Club, as a tasty but simple snack.
Another day of action, as you catch the Raging Thunder ferry to Fitzroy Island for some sea kayaking, snorkelling and swimming. The guided kayaking includes a picnic lunch, after which you can take one of the hikes around the island, or just relax on the beach. Before you head home, make sure you treat yourself to a cocktail at Foxy’s Bar on the beach! If you feel like a spot to eat and drink, stop off at the Salt House on the Cairns Marina, before heading back to Palm Cove.
Well, your action-packed, and relaxing, holiday is over! You’ve covered a lot of ground, but it’s been worth it.

Ethereum Classic is the consequence of a hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain that happened in 2016. The decision to fork the blockchain was taken after a venture capital called The DAO, which had raised a substantial amount of funding, had a big part of their money stolen through a security vulnerability. The hack was followed by a long debate in the Ethereum community on how to proceed, where it was decided to fork the Ethereum blockchain to return the stolen funds. But not everyone agreed – some developers believed in the “immutability” of the blockchain and were against the proposed fork. They kept mining the original Ethereum blockchain, which is now known as Ethereum Classic.
The two blockchains are therefore almost identical, where the most striking difference is probably the different perception of ethics and ideology. It is important to observe that the most important players in the Ethereum community, including founder Vitalik Buterin, have passed to the new Ethereum blockchain. From a technical standpoint, the biggest issue with Ethereum Classic is the lack of backward compatibility with the Ethereum hard fork. Therefore Ethereum classic cannot access any updates made on the Ethereum network. An example is the move from PoW to PoS of Ethereum, which cannot be implemented in Ethereum Classic.

Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church (Metropolitan AME Church) is a historic church located at 1518 M Street, N.W., in downtown Washington, D.C.
The congregation was founded in 1838 and the current building was constructed in 1886. The funerals of abolitionist Frederick Douglass (1895), the first African American U.S. Senator, Blanche Bruce (1898), and civil-rights activist Rosa Parks (2005) were held in the church. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. In May 2010, the National Trust for Historic Preservation added the building to its list of 11 of America's Most Endangered Places due to water damage and other structural problems requiring $11 million in renovations.
